Chapter 13: Immortal Enlightenment
The young dragons tried their best to calm their moods, looked at each other, and finally chose to remain silent.
Yan Xing didn't know why they were behaving so strangely.
I just wanted to ask, but was stopped by Xiao Keer with his eyes.
He noticed that the posture of the young dragons was faintly more respectful than before, and he immediately realized that things were more complicated than he had imagined.
Yan Xing wanted to speak and stopped, and in the end, all the dragons were silent, and the atmosphere was almost solidified.
The fairy dragon looked at the situation and sighed.
"Okay, then another of your teachers will come and teach you how to practice, and in the afternoon I will send you to the mountain to choose your own cave. With a flick of her claws, a group of young dragons disappeared from her presence.
The lonely peak is still the same, the mountain breeze is light, and the scenery here has not changed for thousands of years.
The fairy dragon stood quietly, and her back was a little lonely.
......
Yan Xing only felt a piece of light sweeping by, and then earth-shaking changes took place around him, and there was no tender green lawn under his paws.
It is a gentle slope with patches of thin snow, the altitude is not low, and the temperature is slightly cold.
Looking down the slope, you can see a dark green, presumably the forest around the mountain at that time.
Yan Xing looked around and said, "We probably came to the mountain, but I don't know exactly where it is. β
But the young dragons were visibly absent-minded and didn't care what he said.
Xiao Ke'er suddenly raised her head, looked at Yan Xing and asked seriously, "Yan Xing, since you know that Teacher Meisha is an elder, why did you say it?"
He was stunned for a moment, unaware of the sudden seriousness, and then replied truthfully: "I don't know." β
"Then why did you ask Teacher Meisha if she was an elder?"
"Guess. β
Xiao Ke'er's eyes were as blue as the sea, but as clear as the sky, and she stared at Yan Xing's eyes carefully, as if judging the truth of what she said.
This was also the first time that Yan Xing had carefully admired the dragon's face.
Each scale gradually changes color, the light part is as indifferent as the sky, and after it turns deep, it is as deep as the sea, and the layers of blue are integrated, just like the sea and the sky meet.
The streamlined faucet structure is very perfect, and even from the perspective of human beings, you will feel that there is beauty, handsomeness, agility and impeccable domineering.
Although a pair of dragon horns are immature, they can predict the grandeur of the future, which is born to the sky, and must have fearless momentum, and no one dares to try its edge.
In particular, a pair of dragon eyes are not as deep as the sea, just a clear spring, flowing and clear.
After nearly 20 years, he thought that he would reject the aesthetics of another race, but today he realized that it was not as unbearable as he expected.
The body subtly affects aesthetics, and he really recognizes the word 'beauty', and he can't help but look a little fascinated for a while.
Xiao Ke'er originally thought that he would avoid looking at each other, but unexpectedly, Yan Xing did not mean to look away, but seemed to be appreciating.
Xiao Ke'er hurriedly turned her head to the side, but her cheeks were slightly red.
Sapient beings are all the same, and staring at each other is rude.
Xiao Ke'er deliberately avoided Yan Xing, and squatted down in a different direction, as if he was looking at the beautiful scenery under the mountain in the distance.
She had come to believe that he was telling the truth, but she always felt a little too unnatural and tried to hide it with words.
"It seems that Yan Xing, you don't even know what an elder is. β
"The entire dragon clan is not huge, there are nearly three thousand pure bloods, nearly ten thousand subspecies, and there are only eight elders!"
Yan Xing was surprised: "There are only eight?"
"Yes, there are only eight elders in the entire dragon clan! each of them can go out and dominate the world, calling for wind and rain. β
"It can be said that the eight elders have supported three points of heaven and earth for the dragon clan, and the remaining seven points are borne by the two patriarchs, and they have established endless prestige for our dragon clan!"
"The order of the elders, no dragon dares to disobey, and life and death are all in their thoughts. Xiao Ke'er's words were undisguised admiration, and at the same time, he also expressed the hearts of several other young dragons.
Hearing her say this, Yan Xing instantly had a certain understanding of the identity of the elder, but in his heart he wondered why there were two patriarchs in the Dragon Clan.
Xiao Ke'er didn't know what Yan Xing was thinking, and sighed, "My father is also one of the eight elders, but even he has never seen the two mysterious elders of the dragon clan. β
She said leisurely: "Through the history of the Pavilion, there is no way to retreat from the dangerous peaks. β
"My father called the elder of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion 'Wan Ji', and the elder of this Dragon Gorge 'Wudao', as for why my father wrote these two poems, I don't know, but it is by no means untargeted. β
Yan Xing thought for a while and said, "It seems that Teacher Meisha is the 'Wudao' in the mouth of the elders. β
"You're not too stupid. β
Xiao Ke'er turned around and walked towards Zhao Mi, her attitude seemed to be colder than before.
Yan Xing was baffled by her strange attitude, and actually didn't look at herself again, as if she was deliberately estranged.
He walked up to Lin Bu and asked softly, "Why did Xiao Ke'er suddenly become cold?"
Lin Bu thought very seriously for a while, and said, "Probably because I'm angry that you don't know anything." β
Looking at his serious appearance, Yan Xing thought to himself.
Xiao Ke'er lay down next to Zhao Mi, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Ke'er, you blushed just now. Zhao Mi said softly next to her.
"I didn't. β
"Hee-hee, I saw it~"
"No way, you must be wrong. β
"Don't lie, it's obvious that you're staring at others, but you're blushing. β
"Zhao Mi, don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Ke'er jumped up with a scream, and suddenly knocked the purple dragon beside him to the ground, which immediately caused playful laughter.
Watching the two young dragons fighting together, this made Yan Xing and Lin Bu even more confused.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the thin snow drifting in the air was blown into chaos.
"Will there be a blizzard here?" Yan Xing looked at the sky suspiciously.
I saw a golden light shuttling above the wind, and the speed was extremely fast, and it fell not far away in the blink of an eye.
Rumble!
The snow was shaken down, revealing solid blue-gray rocks.
The wind and snow gradually calmed down, and fell in pieces without hurry.
The golden light faded, and a figure emerged.
The golden scale armor was breezy and domineering, like a peerless divine sword stacked on top of each other, revealing its edge.
The dragon's horns are magnificent, and it seems to be able to pierce the papier-mΓ’chΓ© sky.
A pair of dragon wings obscured the sky, intercepting the light and casting a shadow.
The limbs are thick and powerful enough to smash a mountain.
Another golden dragon!
He condescendingly glanced at the young dragons in front of him, and then the light in his eyes was faint, and the edge was removed, like a sword in a sheath.
Yan Xing originally thought that this would be an unruly dragon, but the truth was unexpected.
"I am the Golden Dragon Clan's Jin Xuanzhuo, and I will be your cultivation teacher for the next few years. The golden dragon's voice was tepid, like a warm current in the wind and snow, very gentle.
The young dragons said hello to the teacher in unison, and he nodded politely.
Jin Xuanzhu didn't want to say anything, and he didn't mean to know the young dragons, so he asked, "Do you know what cultivation is?"
The young dragons were caught off guard by the sudden question, but they didn't expect Jin Xuan to get straight to the point as soon as they came.
What is spiritual practice?
Xiao Ke'er was the first to react and replied: "Cultivation is to incorporate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, and use the meridians of the whole body as the path to construct a spiritual power cycle, so as to refine the physical body and increase longevity, until it reaches the supreme realm and shatters the void." β
Jin Xuanzhu listened to her answer, shook his head slightly, and said, "That's half right, cultivation is not only that." β
"What is cultivation? Casting an immortal body, shaking this world with gestures, that is the surface of cultivation, and its true meaning can be summed up in four words, what is cultivation? β
"What are you cultivating for, if you are forced to embark on this path by the elders of the clan, it will never be called cultivation, at best it is physical exercise. Cultivation requires a reason, and you have to have what you want to pursue in your heart, so that you can have motivation and goals. You have to think about what you are after, and if you go forward blindly, you will eventually lose sight of the dragons. β
Jin Xuan's words caused Yan Xing to think deeply, indeed, since he was caught in Longxia, he has been following the development of fate, like a light boat on the river, drifting along the water, I don't know whether there is a treacherous reef or a smooth river ahead.
"I don't want to be arranged by others, let alone be taken away by fate, I want to be in control of my future. Yan Xing said silently in his heart, gradually understanding his way.
The young dragons either thought about it or suddenly realized, Jin Xuanzhu concluded: "There are thousands of avenues, different paths lead to the same end, your Tao and beliefs may change in the future, but remember, as long as you are cultivating for the sake of pursuit, it will never be a deviance." β
A few young dragons suddenly opened, understood the true meaning of the words, and then bowed to Jin Xuan and thanked him.
Taking the heart as the way, everything goes well, pursuing what you want, not going against your wishes, is one of the thousands of avenues.
That's how dragons should be.
Jin Xuanzhu found that the eyes of the young dragons were more transparent than before, which was a manifestation of the clarity of the Dao heart, and he was very satisfied.
Then, Jin Xuanzhu imparted some cultivation knowledge to the young dragons.
"Cultivation lies in the words 'cultivation' and 'refining'. β
"Cultivation, cultivation is the heart, is the mind, is the original spirit, insight into the laws of heaven and earth, with the essence of the sun and the moon to nourish the soul, and understand the impermanence of the Tao. β
"The primordial spirit is the foundation of any life, no matter how immortal the physical body is, as long as there is no primordial god, it is an empty shell after all. β
"And 'refining' refers to the body, pouring ten thousand laws into one's own body, like a thousand forgings of a sword, it needs to be burned a hundred times in a fierce fire, a thousand times a hammer is forged, and a clear spring is quenched and smoked ten thousand times before it can be cast into a divine soldier. β
"Secondly, refining the body needs to activate the bloodline inheritance in the body, penetrate thousands of meridians, and discover the hidden power of flesh and blood, until one punch can shake the sky, one claw can shatter hundreds of rivers, and the body cannot be broken. β
"The primordial spirit and the body seem to be two parts, but in fact they are one, the body is the carrier of the primordial spirit, and when the body dies, the primordial spirit will surely die with it. β
"The two are like heaven and earth, movement and static, yin and yang, turbidity, rigidity and softness, the sky is clear and turbid, the heaven is moving and the earth is quiet, the source of the pure flow and the end of all things, the source of the turbidity of the pure, the foundation of the static of the moving, accompanied by each other, the perfection of nature, indispensable, the original spirit comprehends the Tao, the body cultivates and casts the spell, etc. β
"The relationship between them is difficult to explain, and I can only say that it is so, and it is up to you to understand it in the future. β
After listening to Jin Xuanzhuo's explanation, Yan Xing understood the essence of cultivation.
Cultivation is actually the process of constantly strengthening one's spirit and body, and taking one's "complete self" as the foundation to continuously become stronger.
Then Jin Xuanzhu mentioned a more systematic cultivation realm, but before that, he told the young dragons that there were various races in the Eastern Qianjie Realm, such as the mermaid clan, the orc clan, etc., and there were only two of them who played the dominant role.
Humans and demons.
The dragon clan essentially belongs to the demon clan, but the most noble clan among them once led the huge demon clan to fight in all directions.
Even if Yan Xing was very interested, Jin Xuanzhu still didn't continue to talk about it, because those were common sense, and other young dragons except him knew about it.
The cultivation levels of the human race and the demon race are different, only he talked about the four realms of the demon race's cultivation: gathering souls, forging spirits, demon pills, and transforming shapes.
Each realm has its own role, and its name is not arbitrary.
The so-called "gathering souls" refers to the fact that most of the demon clan are ignorant, and the primordial gods are scattered and unstable to the point that their spiritual intelligence is low, and this realm is to make the demon clan's primordial spirits gather and stabilize, so as to improve their spiritual intelligence.
However, the dragon clan and some demon clans with extraordinary blood are born with perfect intelligence, and some are much smarter than humans.
The advantage of the bloodline allowed Yan Xing and the young dragons to win at the starting line.
If it is said that the soul gathering period strengthens the primordial spirit, then the second great realm forging period is the body and soul initiate, which is a process of all-round improvement.
The ordinary demon clan in this realm already has a high level of spiritual intelligence, and the body is comparable to a golden stone, and it is difficult for the human race in the same realm to defeat.
Not to mention the dragons, who are extraordinarily bloodlined.
The most noteworthy thing is the third realm, the Demon Pill Realm.
After all the demon clans reached this realm, the qi and blood essence and spiritual power in their bodies would gather in one place, and finally condense into a demon pill.
The dragon clan's demon pill is called dragon crystal or dragon ball, which is much higher quality than ordinary demon pills, and almost condenses the essence of the dragon's whole body.
The formation of this demon pill is not useless, it can continuously provide essence to the body and divine soul, and it is the key for demon cultivators to move towards a higher realm, and its importance can be said to be no less than that of the primordial spirit.
It is precisely because the demon pill contains a large amount of essence that the cultivators of the demon clan will fight each other and seize each other's demon pills for cultivation, while other races will do the same.
But those already belonged to another category, and Jin Xuanzhu only made a few hasty remarks.
Finally, there is the metamorphosis stage.
This is the highest realm of the demon race, and the demon race that can cultivate to this point is by no means simple, all of them have the ability to reach the sky, and even the human race must be in awe of them.
Transfiguration is the transformation of human form, which can go to the prosperous places of the human race without attracting attention, and it is said that there are more peculiarities.
But Jin Xuanzhu didn't continue to say, not that he didn't want to, but that he really hadn't reached that level yet.
Yan Xing is very much looking forward to the transformation, and if he changes into a human form again, he doesn't know how it will feel.
The four major realms are divided into nine small realms, each of which is called a heavy heaven, for example, the Seventh Heaven of Soul Gathering is the seventh small realm of the Soul Gathering Period.
The small realm is divided into the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, and the big stage.
The division of cultivation levels in the Eastern Cadre Realm is not too complicated, but the number of realms corresponding to it is really quite a lot.
Jin Xuanzhuo didn't say anything more, because the elder had arranged other tasks for him today.
He wants to lead this group of young dragons to break through the Soul Gathering Heaven!
