Chapter 848 Basic Information
Chen Kan's apprenticeship ceremony is very grand, and the "grandeur" here does not mean that the scale is large, but the people who come to watch the ceremony are very large, such as the head of the Shushan Sword School, the Taishang Elder of the Maoshan School, and the abbot of Putuo Temple......
Seventy percent of the sects in the cultivation realm have sent people above the elder level to participate, and there are some secular forces, such as the royal family, but these non-cultivation realm forces are not qualified to observe the ceremony, but only send gifts, all kinds of precious medicinal materials and yellow and white things, brush their sense of existence.
This apprenticeship ceremony gave Chen Kan a clearer understanding of the status of Louguandao, in a common saying, Louguandao is the world's Taoism, even the world's largest Shushan Sword School is also separated from Louguandao, belonging to the Taoist lineage.
The monks in the middle of the world can probably be divided into four categories, one is Taoist cultivation, that is, Taoist monks, such as the current Chen Kan, and the other is Buddhist cultivation, that is, Buddhist monks.
In terms of the number of Buddhas, the cultivation of Buddhism is far more than that of Taoism, because Buddhism pays attention to teaching without class, as long as you are sincere, you can practice Buddhism, but whether you can finally cultivate depends on the individual's talent.
But in terms of the number of top masters, Taoist cultivation is stronger than Buddhist cultivation, on the one hand, because Buddhism is too large, so it is feared by the official, and the heavenly master is a person who contemplates Taoism, so in terms of official resources, Taoism is tilted, on the other hand, because Taoism has few disciples, in the case of the same resources, Taoist individuals can obtain more resources.
In addition, all sects of Taoism are very cautious when choosing disciples, and almost all of their disciples are talented and intelligent, plus the number of disciples is small, and the master can concentrate on education, and the future achievements will not be too low, and there are few monks who enter the evil path.
Buddha cultivation is just the opposite, because the concept of Buddha cultivation to benefit sentient beings, and some extreme thoughts, lead to some Buddha cultivation is easy to go to the evil path, and once these people go to the evil path, the first thing is to find trouble with Buddha cultivation.
The above two kinds of monks are mainly humans, the other two are not humans, and the third type is demon cultivation, and all kinds of animals and plants between heaven and earth have become monks.
For example, the two scorpions that Chen Kan encountered before were demon cultivators, and demon cultivators are also good and bad, but most demon cultivators will not go to the world, compared with human monks, demon cultivators have stronger physical bodies and vitality, and very few human monks have lived past three hundred, and demon cultivation for three hundred years is considered a beginner.
Therefore, unless necessary, ordinary monks are reluctant to trouble demon cultivators, because you never know if a thousand-year-old demon will run out of some deep mountain and old forest.
The fourth is ghost cultivation, ghost cultivation as the name suggests is a ghost monk who opens the spirit, the unified characteristics of ghost cultivation is the aggregate of yin qi, so it is born with human repulsion, ghost cultivation is almost all evil monks, is the same enemy of Taoist cultivation and Buddhist cultivation, many human tragedies are caused by ghost cultivation, and zombies are also a kind of ghost cultivation.
In addition to these four kinds of monks, there is actually another one, that is, the combination of humans and demons, although the number is very small, but it does exist, such as the legendary ancient god Nuwa is, this kind of monk has the characteristics of human and demon, and the speed of cultivation is faster than that of any monk, but there is no perfect existence in the world, this kind of monk has to face many challenges for some reason, and it is difficult to become an immortal.
Another point is that there is no concept of the so-called "Heavenly Court" in this plane, and the monks who break through the Merge Dao Realm are the Broken Void, and no one knows where they have gone, because none of the monks who have broken the Void and become immortals have ever returned.
Just like in the real world, no one knows what happens to people after death, because there is no resurrection after death, and no one can tell you what the world is like after death.
The realm of this plane monk can be roughly divided into four realms: Qi Training, Transforming Spirits, Returning to Void, and Joining the Dao.
Refining and refining qi, called "Qi Cultivation Realm", not only cultivators, but also martial artists do this, but the difference is that martial artists cultivate the lower dantian, while cultivators cultivate the middle dantian.
Refining gas and transforming gods, called "transforming the god realm", whether it is on the dantian or in the middle dantian, you can transform the true qi and spiritual power in the dantian into the original god, after the achievement of the original god, you can quote the power between heaven and earth, after the achievement of the original god, the physical body can also be reborn, it can be regarded as half an immortal, the original god is the foundation of all the monks, after the transformation of the god realm is actually essentially to continuously condense the original god, so that the original god becomes stronger, and the more powerful the original god, the higher the achievement in the future.
After condensing the Yuan Shen, the monk can begin to condense a force that is enough to shatter the void and lay the foundation for the future shattering of the void, so it is called "returning to the void", the length of time to condense this power varies from person to person, some people complete it in less than a year, and some people can't achieve it in a lifetime.
Because the power is enough to shatter the void, so the return to the void realm is a master in this plane, the reason why the five-hundred-year-old monster is called the "big demon" is because it has reached the return to the void realm, and the elders of those sects are all masters of the return to the void realm, and the scorpion spirit before is not because Chen Kan can't do it, but because Chen it doesn't want to cause trouble.
Refining the Void Convergence Realm, calling it the "Convergence Realm", this plane is the highest realm, after the monk has thoroughly mastered the power of the broken void, he understands his own body, and enters the Convergence Realm, which is not only the accumulation of power, but also needs to understand the Great Dao, in fact, it is still related to the Yuan Shen, the more powerful the Yuan Shen, the easier it is to understand the Great Dao.
As the saying goes, "3,000 avenues can be attained", monks can find the easiest path to walk, or they can take multiple paths, but the most important point is to adhere to the original intention, in the realm of the path is to combine many different paths of monasticism into one avenue, so it is called "the way".
After the monk completely comprehended the Great Dao, he cooperated with the power of the broken void and turned into an immortal, but this path was extremely difficult, just like the five-hundred-year-old demon said before, there had been no monk in this plane to break through the Merge Dao Realm for a thousand years.
The Merge Realm is the top combat power of this plane, and the thousand-year-old demon is the master of the Merge Dao Realm, and now there are no more than ten known Hedao Realm monks in the entire plane.
Chen Kan is now between the Qi Cultivation Realm and the Transformation God Realm, in fact, Chen Kan was able to enter the Transformation God Realm very early, but because there was no specific exercise, coupled with the lack of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, Chen Kan could only continue to expand the sea of knowledge, and could not condense the Yuan Shen.
Of course, this is not without benefits, reciting the "Huang Ting Jing" for a long time, Chen Kan's sea of knowledge is extremely powerful, as long as he enters the realm of transforming gods, Chen Kan's Yuan Shen can be extremely powerful, and his strength can catch up with those veteran masters.
