Volume 1 Catechumens Chapter 10 Common Sense of Immortals
After a morning of study, it was time for lunch. A few stiff-looking and stiff-looking agents walked in and brought food to everyone.
As Zhang Long said before, everyone's food during this period belongs to "fasting" - not only is there no meat in the bowl, not even a little oil can be found, what is eaten is boiled yellow essence in water, what is drunk is Shouwu Poria porridge, and the side dish is green salt mixed with bitter gourd. These meals are probably good for health, but the taste is really a bit flattering, and most of the immortal seekers, including Wu Jie, eat with a sad face.
Of course, there are also people who don't care at all, for example, a fat man named Zhu Sanqi, with small eyes and a small nose, and his fat face is full of obscenity.
"What a human being is unseemly!" Wu Xie couldn't help but sigh secretly, "Those who can pass the first round of selection are really capable people!" β
Since the afternoon, it was free time, Wu Xie did not go out, but went back to his room to rest - he was anxious to ask Jasmine about something.
Previously, in order to prevent the immortals from seeing the clues, he specially warned Jasmine not to contact him. But one morning, he found that the immortals didn't pay much attention to his immortal seekers, so he no longer had such scruples.
Although in order to avoid trouble, I don't dare to enter the Heavenly Book World Realm for the time being, but at least it should be no problem to chat in my heart.
"Jasmine, you saw all these things yesterday and today, right?"
"Of course! It's a bit strange though......"
"What's strange?"
"There are a lot of strange things. For example, a lot of people seem to care a lot about 'merit', and according to your previous explanation, this merit is accumulated by doing good deeds, but back then, we ...... Anyway, I don't remember any of our men doing anything good. But we are just as powerful as the King of the Ten Thousand Worlds in the Sea of Stars, and we haven't found any problems. β
"As a result, the worst of the worst was full of evil, and he was killed by lightning!"
"That's true, but I always feel a little different. You see, these people, whose cultivation is so low, already attach so much importance to merit. But back then, you cultivated to a level so advanced that they couldn't even dream of it, and you were thundered by the God of World Destruction......"
"Let's think about this slowly in the future, anyway, it won't be a bad thing to accumulate a little more merit."
"Since you said so, master, then this matter will be omitted for now. Another thing that makes me wonder is this 'too naΓ―ve theory'. According to them, this should be the kind of magic method that directly points to the Great Dao of Immortality, but when I think about it, I can't think of such a number one person as 'Taishang Dao Ancestor', let alone any 'Taishang Naivety Theory'! β
"Huh? Isn't the theory of naivety famous? β
"I haven't heard of it anyway...... And the title of 'Dao Ancestor' is also very problematic...... In our time, there seems to be no one who is called a Taoist ancestor. Jasmine pondered for a long time, and said suspiciously, "In our era, if you want to say that the head of the great supernatural powers, it is the two ancestors who created the Great Wilderness Realm and the Ruins who created the Ruins Sea, but they did not leave a successor. And in addition to these two ancestors, it is a few Creation Divine Monarchs led by you, Master, I remember that one of them is very powerful, Master, you once warned us, except for a few senior brothers, the rest of the people should not mess with that guy......"
Wu Xie was taken aback, he never knew that Lu Dao was originally in the era of the Divine Monarch, and there were still strong people of the same level as the Divine Monarch!
"The same level? How can it be! Master, you are the Great Divine Monarch who has stepped into the realm of the two ancestors with half a foot, and the other so-called Divine Monarchs, including several senior brothers, are not your opponents at all! β
Then Jasmine began to habitually sing praises for the supreme god monarch, showing off her martial arts, and the words of praise and praise were endless, and goosebumps were about to fall off people's bodies when they heard it.
Wu Xie hurriedly stopped her nonsense, and inquired about the "unspeakable" thing.
"Not that way!" Jasmine said with certainty, "I have seen at least five or six books that record the secret of Taoism, and they are all clear in black and white. The so-called 'unspeakable' must have come later...... Maybe it's something that Taishang Dao Ancestor made up! β
"Master, it really took too long for you to reincarnate this time, and as a result, the little people who jumped out of the Dao didn't know where they dared to call themselves 'Dao Ancestor'...... I don't know how those gods agreed...... How could the two ancestors tolerate others being juxtaposed with themselves...... Alas! The way of the world has changed! β
As she spoke, Jasmine's voice grew deeper and deeper, and she began to sigh.
Wu Xie hadn't experienced Jasmine's original life, so he couldn't personally experience Jasmine's melancholy and sadness, but he could feel Jasmine's low mood, so he didn't bother her, but went to Luo Yu for advice.
As he got closer and closer to the Immortal Cultivation Realm, he felt more and more urgently that he lacked the common sense of that Immortal Realm. Jasmine's knowledge is all the old yellow calendar that I don't know how many years ago, and many of them are not in line with the current world. And her background is too high-end, for Wu Jie, who has not even reached the innate realm, it is too lacking in reference.
He wanted to know some practical knowledge of the Dao, and some of the common sense that ordinary contemporary immortal cultivators should know about the Dao, and this knowledge could only be obtained from Luo Yu at present.
"Oh? Brother Dao wants to ask some common sense in the immortal cultivation world? Luo Yu was not surprised, she had already discovered just now that Wu Xie seemed to know nothing about a lot of common knowledge in the immortal cultivation world, and he was simply a complete layman. In this case, it is only natural to inquire about the news now.
"So, what does Brother Dao want to ask?"
Wu Xie had already had a draft about this, and said very simply: "I basically don't know anything about the Dao, which ones do you think are more important, and they belong to anyone who should know the Dao...... Just tell me about it. β
Luo Yu nodded, thought for a while, and then began to speak.
"If you want to talk about cultivating immortals, you should naturally talk about 'how to cultivate immortals' first. There are no more than three ways for mortals to get close to the immortal path: the first is to exercise their bodies and constantly tap their potential, so that their strength will become stronger and stronger, their reactions will be faster and faster, and their endurance will be better and better...... Until the ultimate breakthrough of the physical mortal fetus, this is the so-called 'warrior monk'. β
"The second way is to concentrate on cultivating the breath, a breath of internal qi is endless, the body is strong, and the life span is long. When the qi is cultivated to a certain level, it will be able to sense the vitality of heaven and earth, and then connect the inside and outside, turn the internal qi into true qi, and step into the innate realm. This is called a 'Qi Refiner'. β
"The third way is to worship the gods and ancestors, and get the feedback of those powerful things, and the soul grows stronger and stronger, and finally transcends the limits of mortal things, and transcends the soul with the soul. This one is very rare, and to be honest, I don't know much. β
"Take you as an example, Brother Dao, your martial arts are extremely profound, your body is very strong, and your accumulation of internal strength is also very deep. It is probably that the martial monks are the mainstay, and the qi refiners are the auxiliary. Ordinary martial artists do this, and the ultimate goal is to 'enter the Tao with martial arts', which is to integrate the first two paths to step into the realm of innate entry. β
Wu Xie nodded slightly, he finally had an understanding of his own strength and path now.
"But no matter which path you take, after you reach the innate realm, you have to go back and make up for the other two parts. In the end, the body, true qi, and soul must be cultivated to the fullest in order to truly complete the introduction to the immortal path - it is precisely because of this that we call the first realm of cultivating immortals 'entering the path'. β
"There are three parts to the path, which is to completely transform one's own internal qi into true qi, which is called 'innate qi'; temper the body with true qi to make the body go further on the basis of the peak of the day after tomorrow, and at the same time replenish and restore the qi and blood that have become empty due to excessive overdraft potential in the acquired stage, which is called 'hundred refinements'; gradually strengthen the soul in meditation, and finally the soul can be formed to pass through the netherworld, which is called 'through the yin'."
"Because these three realms are all contents that must be completed for 'entering the Dao', they are called the 'Three Realms of Initiation'. Only after completing the three realms of entering the Dao can one truly be called an immortal cultivator, not a half-asser. β
Wu Xie nodded again and again, and it was not until today that he had a clear impression of cultivating immortals.
"After completing the cultivation of entering the Dao, the next step is to 'refine Gang'. Transforming True Qi into Gang Qi - each sect has its own secret method, or in other words, there must be a corresponding method to be called a sect. After the transformation of the Gang Qi is completed, it can be used to refine oneself and refine the mortal body into a leakless body. β
"There are many benefits to having an incomprehensible body, the most obvious being the ability to stay young and strong until the end of life, which is also the dream of many female friars, including me."
Luo Yu said it humorously, and Wu Xie couldn't help it.
"The cultivators who are able to fly in and out of the Qing Netherworld are extinct, and all kinds of magical powers are indescribable. Then, if you can fully accumulate the power of the soul and refine the true qi with the power of the soul that is indescribable, you will be able to refine the true qi into the true element and obtain a qualitative leap - this realm is called 'condensing yuan'. β
"After Ning Yuan, the ordinary cultivation has come to an end. Only some lucky people who have received great luck and great luck, or the great sect with the inheritance of the Great Dao, can have a further way. I don't know exactly how to do it, I only know that the next step of Lu Dao is to call it 'Returning Dan'. β
"The Huandan realm is said to be a very complicated realm, and it is said that there are more than one Dan returns, and it has to be repeated. Each time the Dan is returned, it is called a turn, from one to nine turns, and finally cultivated into a flawless golden pill, you can sense the way of heaven and fly to the sky. β
"What did you say about the Tribulation?" Wu Xie asked.
"It is extremely difficult to do the ninth turn of the Dan, and the more you go to the back, the more difficult it is, those who are also high in the Dan often have not had time to achieve the golden pill in the ninth turn, and the longevity is already about to end. In this case, either reincarnate again, or you can only sacrifice your life and forcibly trigger the Heavenly Dao Induction in an attempt to ascend. β
Wu Xie gasped and roughly guessed what she was going to say.
"If you forcibly ascend, you will attract a catastrophe. If you can survive the catastrophe, you will succeed in your natural ascension, and if you can't survive it, everything will be over...... There should be quite a few masters in the realm of Huandan in this world, but almost all of them are working hard to cultivate day after day, just to be able to achieve the Golden Pill, or to make full preparations for the tribulation. β
"Brother Dao, do you remember what I said in the morning? Although many of the people of Shangao can see the bacteria in the water, they don't waste time studying them...... Well, you know the truth. β
Luo Yu smiled again, although there was a bit of ridicule in the smile, but more of it was fascinating.
Dancheng nine turns, the sun soars!
Imagining that scene, Wu Xie couldn't help but be fascinated.
"By the way, there is one thing that Brother Dao may not know." At the time of parting, Luo Yu suddenly remembered something and said, "The Qingyang view that we are going to apprentice to, there have been people who have attained enlightenment and soared in the past generations. β
Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his heart was even more joyful.
This time, I really came to the right place!
