Chapter 164: Ning Yuan and Kaiguang
Yang Shan nodded and said, "Lu Yu, you listen well." The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info the Taoist exercises and demon gate exercises practiced by the human race are all passed down from the ancient gods and demons. And the fundamental and ultimate purpose of our hard cultivation is to gain power comparable to that of the ancient gods and demons in the form of mortals. ”
"Legend has it that in ancient times, when the human race was still struggling in the mountains, forests and wilderness, competing with wild beasts for living space. There is a foreign demon suddenly descending into the world, and the ancient gods and demons cannot resist it, and they are defeated and retreated. At this moment, the human race that started from the end of the world helped the ancient gods and demons to resist the demons outside the territory. In order to repay the human race, and in order to let the human race have stronger strength to help them deal with that extraterritorial demon, the ancient gods and demons extracted a part of their own Dao system, selected the human race with suitable qualifications, and taught it to them. This is the source of the Terran cultivation exercises. ”
Among them, the three Qing Dao ancestors handed down the Taoist exercises, and the lamp burning ancestors handed down the Buddhist exercises. As for the four ancestors of demons and monsters, they are collectively called the Demon Gate Exercises. ”
"The essence of these exercises is actually no different, they are all by absorbing and refining the ubiquitous aura between heaven and earth to enhance their own strength. In the end, he brought himself to the point of being comparable to the ancient gods and demons. ”
"However, due to the different Taoist systems of the ancient gods and demons, the exercises they passed down were also different. Especially between the Demon Gate Exercises and the Daomen Exercises, the difference in attributes is so great that it is almost to the point where water and fire are incompatible. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Shan couldn't help but glance at Lu Yu twice, and there was a hint of weirdness in his eyes.
The fact that Lu Yu was able to realize the Demon Dao cultivator was already an open secret at the top of the Nine Xuan Palace. Yang Shan, as the eldest disciple of Xuanmu Zhenren, naturally knew about this.
What Yang Shan just said was a universally recognized truth in the cultivation realm. But in front of Lu Yu, this set of truths has become a piece of nonsense waste paper.
In a sense, Lu Yu is a freak who is different from ordinary people.
Yang Shan's strange gaze, Lu Yu could naturally feel it.
Lu Yu was also aware of his situation, he could only shrug his shoulders helplessly to Yang Shan, and took the initiative to divert the topic: "Senior brother, what you just said, there are two stages of gathering spirits and enlightening in the early stage of cultivation, which seem to have other meanings. ”
Yang Shan retracted his gaze and said, "That's true. ”
"Little junior brother, you should know that the first five stages of the path of cultivation are Gathering Spirit, Kaiguang, Ning Yuan, Jin Dan and Yuan Ying. Among them, the gathering of spirits and the enlightenment are two stages unique to the human race. ”
Exclusive to the Terrans!
This is the first time Lu Yu has heard this statement.
Lu Yu immediately asked strangely, "Senior brother, how do you say this?"
"As I told you just now, the various exercises practiced by the human race originally came from the ancient gods and demons. And the gods and demons themselves actually don't have the two cultivation stages of gathering spirits and enlightening the light. ”
Yang Shan looked at Lu Yu and said eloquently: "The ancient gods and demons were born in response to heaven and earth, and they were born with great power, even if they were newly born immortals, Buddhas and demons, the weakest ones also had the cultivation of the enlightenment level. ”
"Comparatively speaking, the human race is much weaker, whether it is the body or the divine soul, it can't be compared with those immortals, Buddhas and demons. The Immortal Buddha and the Demon want to teach the Immortal Buddha and the Demon their cultivation method, but with the fragile body of the Human Race, it is impossible to directly cultivate the exercises of the Immortal Buddha and Demon. If you forcibly cultivate, you can only end up with the powerful energy that you can't bear, and you end up dying with an explosion. ”
"For this reason, after discussing it a few times, the Immortal Buddha Demon decided to add two more stages before their original cultivation method. This is the gathering of spirits and the opening of light. ”
"Gathering the spirit to practice qi, opening the light and refining the body, and finally merging the inside and outside, condensing the yuan and solidifying the qi, with this, you can raise the weak body of the human race to a higher level. Barely reached the qualifications for cultivating the orthodox exercises of immortals, Buddhas, demons, and demons. ”
Speaking of this, Yang Shan's tone suddenly became solemn, and he said to Lu Yu solemnly: "Little junior brother, I know that you have a good means, and with the strength of the sixth stage of the Gathering Spirit, you killed Li Dongxu and Zhao Wu and Zhao Gang, and you were majestic for a while. But Senior Brother still wants to remind you that you must not be careless because of this. You have to know that in the eyes of those who are strong in cultivating the truth, monks at the level of gathering spirits and enlightening are not real monks at all. There are ants under Ning Yuan, this sentence is not just as simple as talking. ”
This is a phrase that is widely spread in the cultivation realm, and Lu Yu has heard of it many times before.
But it wasn't until today that Lu Yu really understood the meaning of this sentence.
"Thank you senior brother for reminding me, Lu Yu didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. ”
Lu Yu hurriedly thanked Yang Shan.
Seeing that Lu Yu's attitude was so sincere, Yang Shan nodded.
"Enlightenment, like Gathering Spirits, is divided into ten levels, as long as your cultivation can reach the seventh level, you can break through to the next level. ”
"The Seventh Order of Gathering Spirits can break through to the Enlightenment level. The seventh order of enlightenment can directly break through to the condensing element. ”
Yang Shan continued: "Such rules were also formulated by the Immortal Buddha and Demons at the beginning. At that time, they did this mainly for the uneven qualifications of the human race, and they wanted to train a group of soldiers of similar strength as soon as possible. ”
"I believe you can guess the difference. The higher your cultivation level and the deeper your foundation accumulates, the stronger your strength will be after breaking through. However, the more difficult it will be for you to break through. ”
"If you directly choose to break through if you cultivate to reach the seventh stage of Gathering Spirits, then as long as you are well prepared, most of you can succeed at one time. If the cultivation reaches the eighth stage of Gathering Spirits, the success rate will plummet to fifty percent. If it is the ninth stage of the Gathering Spirit, then less than thirty percent of the people can break through smoothly at one time. If the cultivation reaches the tenth stage of the Gathering Spirit, it will be even more difficult to succeed in a breakthrough. Among the 100 people, it is estimated that only three or five people can break through successfully at one time. There are quite a few people who will even be stuck at this stage for the rest of their lives. ”
Only three or five out of a hundred people can succeed at one time!
Such a low proportion made Lu Yu secretly smack his tongue.
After thinking for a while, Lu Yu suddenly asked, "Senior brother, your cultivation has far surpassed that of Gathering Spirits, right?"
Yang Shan smiled, looking like he had expected Lu Yu to ask this.
Yang Shan said directly: "My cultivation is now in the late stage of Jindan. The cultivation of the second junior sister Lin Xi is in the early stage of Jindan, the third junior brother Wu Yan is in the middle of Ning Yuan, the fourth junior brother Xu Liu is in the early stage of Jindan, the fifth junior brother Sun Yuxuan is in the late stage of Ning Yuan, and the sixth junior brother He Shuxin is in the middle of Ning Yuan. As for the little junior sister Mu Ling, her cultivation is now the fifth stage of enlightenment. ”
Listening to Yang Shan's burst out of this cultivation, Lu Yu's eyes widened and widened.
Of the seven disciples of Muxuan Palace, three in the Jindan stage and three in the Ning Yuan stage, only one of them was still at the level of enlightenment.
Lu Yu didn't expect that the personal disciple of Muxuan Palace would be so powerful.
Imagine that Li Dongxu, whom he met at the beginning, is nearly twenty years old this year, and as a personal disciple of Shuixuan Palace, his cultivation is only five stages of enlightenment.
And in Muxuan Palace, the cultivation of just a little girl Mu Ling is not inferior to Li Dongxu.
As for the others, they can crush Li Dongxu.
is also a personal disciple, and the big gap between the two surprised Lu Yu.
Among them, the most surprising thing for Lu Yu was undoubtedly Xu Liu.
As a fourth disciple, Xu Liu's cultivation has actually reached the early stage of Jindan, which is stronger than the third senior brother Wu Yan.
