Chapter 122: The Battle of the Soul

"Genius is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration, but that 1 percent inspiration is more important. ”

This is a very cruel truth, but it is universally true.

Ordinary people may be able to achieve something small after unremitting efforts, but if they want to stand out among hundreds of millions of people and reach the peak of the realm, they are not geniuses, and they will never be able to do it!

Ordinary people in the Pangu Continent, after crazy cultivation, have the potential to climb to the innate peak.

But that's the limit.

If you want to step from the innate peak realm to the Qi refining period, you need to have an innate understanding of the aura of heaven and earth, a natural sense of intimacy, that is, the "spiritual heart".

Without a spiritual heart, no matter how much you cultivate, it is useless, it is absolutely impossible to sense the slightest trace of heaven and earth aura, let alone introduce heaven and earth aura into the body and transform it into mana.

However, even if you have a spiritual heart, you may not be able to smoothly embark on the path of cultivation, because there are differences between spiritual hearts, just like there are high and low IQs.

Genius, also divided into one in a hundred geniuses, one in a thousand geniuses and one in a thousand geniuses!

What's even more troublesome is that the spiritual heart is also divided into five different castes according to the five elements of yin and yang, even if you have a spiritual heart, you may not be able to have all the five spiritual hearts.

However, contrary to Wu Ye's prediction, the amount of spiritual heart has nothing to do with the speed of cultivation, because after introducing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, the cultivator can assign these spiritual qi to the genus and surname that need to be cultivated.

In other words, even a cultivator with five great spiritual hearts can completely give up four of them and concentrate on cultivating one of them.

In this way, cultivators who only possess a single spiritual heart will not be able to show any special benefits.

And cultivators with multiple spiritual hearts can also fuse their spiritual hearts through secret techniques to become different spiritual hearts, such as the wind and thunder two qi, which are fused from the five basic spiritual qi.

In the fighting method, if the mana of both sides is almost strong, of course, the cultivator who has mastered the more caste spiritual energy has the advantage and has more means of attack.

Whether it is a single spiritual heart or a cultivator with five spiritual hearts, there are very few, most cultivators still have two or three spiritual hearts, if they have four spiritual hearts, even if they have "very good qualifications", if they are discovered by cultivators, they will accept it at all costs.

Wu Ye didn't know that his cheap sister Wang Muling in the Wang family had four spiritual hearts, so he would be favored by the cultivators of the Liuyun Sword Sect at a glance.

Of course, Wu Ye wants to know if he has a spiritual heart, he is estimated to be a little suspenseful, after all, he is not a true genius, and his own IQ is not good.

Lao Ma said that whether there is a spiritual heart or not can only be seen by a cultivator in the condensation stage, or after stepping into the innate peak realm, he can only comprehend it, and he can't see it with his ability.

He also comforted that even if there was no spiritual heart, it was not a big problem, because there was still a way to make up for it.

There are two ways to make amends, the first is to "transfer the spiritual mind" and the second is to "create the spiritual mind".

The first way, as the name suggests, is to find a person with a spiritual heart, ask someone to carry forward the style, and transfer a few spiritual hearts, although the probability of success is not large, but more grabbing, no, it is to invite a few more Taoist friends to carry forward the style, waste more than a dozen spiritual hearts, and always successfully transplant one or two.

The second method is to use the demon core of the demon beast, or the most precious crystallization in the spirit mine, or the priceless treasure of heaven and earth, to fuse it into an artificial spirit heart, and send it into the body of the innate martial artist, which can also help him become a cultivator.

If the material of this artificial spiritual heart is good enough, it is even stronger than many innate natural spiritual hearts, and it will be cultivated faster!

These two methods are not only suitable for ordinary martial artists who do not have a spiritual heart, even if they are cultivators with a spiritual heart, as long as possible, they will try in every possible way.

Because even if it is a spiritual heart with the same caste, there are strong and weak.

If you have a relatively weak spiritual heart, your cultivation speed will be much slower than others, and there are many exercises for cultivating spiritual power, but there are almost no exercises for cultivating spiritual heart.

If you want to improve your spiritual heart, you can either devour other people's spiritual hearts with the same surname, or use heavenly and earthly treasures to create elixirs such as "Pei Ling Dan" to slowly nourish them, and there is no other way.

It is precisely because the spiritual hearts can devour each other, and the more spiritual hearts they devour, the faster they can cultivate, so the battle in the cultivation world is very cruel.

Not to mention that the cultivation circles of the two realms of good and evil, Jin and Chu often fight, killing the sky in the dark, and the blood flowed like a river, even within each other, or even within the same sect, in order to enhance their spiritual hearts, cultivators are also intrigued, fighting openly and secretly, and unscrupulous means.

Lao Ma smiled and came to a conclusion, ordinary people always thought that if they became cultivators, they would be able to prolong their lives, live forever, and live for three or five hundred years without a problem.

Isn't that so? Theoretically, of course!

Even the most ordinary Qi Refining Stage cultivators have a lifespan of more than a hundred years, and the few remaining Divine Transformation Stage cultivators in the Pangu Continent have a lifespan of at least four or five hundred years, and some even live to be more than eight hundred years old!

But in reality, when you become a cultivator, you will step into a bloody slaughterhouse! You have a spiritual heart, and you are a prey, and you may be devoured by others at any time, and you don't want to die a tragic death for no reason? Then you will do everything possible to compete for all resources, exercises, pills, spirit mines, demon beasts, and even other people's spiritual hearts!

Even if you don't want to fight, you want to cultivate without fighting with the world, but will your sect allow you to do this?

Let's just say that the upcoming Jinchu cultivation world war, and I don't know how many monks will fall, up to the old monster of the god transformation stage, down to the miscellaneous fish of the qi refining stage who has just started, who dares to guarantee that he will be able to survive this battle?

So, don't look at those high-ranking heads, sect masters, Supreme Elders, etc., they seem to be very beautiful, all of them are immortal, and their bearing is extraordinary, and they can live for two or three hundred years at every turn.

Their scenery is piled up with the surnames of countless little minions!

According to the average life expectancy, the little minions in the cultivation world may not live as long as mortals!

In a word, cultivation is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the industry!

Wu Ye was not intimidated.

He pondered for a long time and came to the conclusion, isn't this cultivation world exactly the same as the underworld he mixed up in his previous life?

In the underworld in the previous life, killing people and setting fires, mixing well, becoming the boss, of course, you can emigrate abroad in style, just like "flying to the heavenly realm".

But most of the lowest-level minions naturally can't get such an opportunity in their lifetime, so they can only fight one by one, turning their blood into a few numbers in the boss's bank account.

However, knowing this, they still have to fight knife by knife, knife by knife, just to fight for the illusory one in a billion, fantasizing that one day, they can also become the boss, and they can also immigrate abroad, hugging the blonde on the beach in the Caribbean Sea.

Maybe one day, they will wake up, but it's just a dream.

But often at this point, there is no turning back.

This is people in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves!

However, the struggle in the cultivation world was even more cruel than that of the underworld, because in the Pangu Continent, there was no force at all that could restrain these cultivators!

However, there is still a very critical issue that Wu Ye has not figured out.

"What exactly are the cultivators of the two countries fighting for? It can't be that they are fighting for the position of 'overlord', right?"

Ma Boguang explained with a smile that of course cultivators could not fight to the death for the so-called overlord position of mortals, but because there was a contradiction between the cultivation circles of the two countries first, so the two countries would compete for the position of overlord.

As for the contradictions between the cultivation circles of the two countries, they have been irreconcilable for a long time.

In order to explain the contradiction between the cultivation circles of the two countries, we must first clarify the concept of "Reiki Center".

The so-called aura center is, of course, the place where the spiritual energy is the richest, the spiritual veins are the deepest, the spiritual ore is the most, and the heavenly and earthly treasures are the richest, and the probability of having a spiritual heart is also the highest for people born here.

It is conceivable that whoever can occupy the center of the aura will become a well-deserved overlord of the cultivation world!

Back then, the strong Dayu drew a Kyushu Dingding talisman with the mountains and rivers of Pangu Continent as a brushstroke, continuously introducing the aura of heaven and earth into the Central Plains, and building the "Taikang City" in the center of the most aura, as the capital of Daxia, naturally the royal family of Daxia is the strongest cultivator!

However, Dayu did not calculate that the vicissitudes of the sea, the mountains and rivers will all change! In particular, floods and river diversions have occurred almost every year for thousands of years.

Once the river is diverted, the Kyushu Dingding Charm will change, causing the center of the aura to move.

Let's just say that the current Qianyuan Dynasty, at the beginning of the founding of the country, chose the central area with the strongest aura to establish the national capital "Fenghao City", and put most of the cultivation resources in the hands of the royal family.

Unexpectedly, five hundred years ago, a great flood caused the center of the aura to move, and it happened to move into the Tianjin Kingdom, and slowly the cultivation sect of the Tianjin Kingdom grew stronger, resulting in the decline of royal power, the rise of the princes, and the Tianjin Kingdom became the overlord among the princes!

If this trend continues for another hundred years, it is logical for the Tianjin Kingdom to replace the Qianyuan Dynasty and establish the Tianjin Dynasty.

But just a hundred years ago, the center of the aura shifted again, this time to the junction of the Tianjin Kingdom and the Jing Chu Kingdom, and this was the reason why the Jing Chu Kingdom took advantage of the situation!

The Hundred Years War between the two countries is not so much a struggle for the position of overlord, but rather a battle for the cultivation circles of the two countries behind them, fighting for this spiritual energy center!

Ma Boguang gushed endlessly, but in the end, he lowered his voice again, and said mysteriously: "These cultivators are fighting hard, working desperately, and their blood is flowing like a river, and in the end, it is likely that their efforts will be in vain!"

"Why? Doesn't it mean that whoever occupies the center of the aura will be able to dominate the world?

Ma Boguang pondered for a moment and threw out a conclusion that made Wu Ye's scalp tingle.

"The reason why the aura center exists is because of the relationship between the Kyushu Dingding Fu, but what if the Kyushu Dingding Fu fails?"

Lao Ma said that when he was a miscellaneous servant in the Yin Fu Sect, he once followed a cultivator, and this gentleman specialized in the art of looking at qi, that is, he specialized in studying where the spiritual energy was relatively strong, and where there might be spiritual veins and spiritual ores.

After studying the time and route of the migration of the Reiki center over thousands of years, this gentleman found a pattern, as time went by, the migration of the Reiki center became more and more frequent!

In the beginning, the center of Reiki could often be fixed in one place for thousands of years, creating a thousand-year-old dynasty like iron.

Slowly, the Reiki center moved from every 800 years, to every 500 years, to 200 years, or even every 100 years!

This gentleman came to the conclusion that with the change of the direction of the mountains and rivers, the Kyushu Dingding Fu could no longer support it and could fall apart at any time.

Even if the Kyushu Dingding Fu does not collapse, there may be countless loopholes that will release the aura to the edge of the Pangu Continent, and the aura center in the Central Plains region will be depleted at any time.

"Wouldn't that be a cause for chaos in the world?" Wu Ye said after a long pause.

The reason why the Terrans have been able to dominate the Pangea Continent for thousands of years is because the Terrans occupy the Central Plains of the Pangea Continent, and the aura here is particularly strong!

Once the aura in the Central Plains region is exhausted, but the aura of the barbaric wilderness in the border is strong, what will the human race use to resist the demon race?

Wu Ye shuddered at the thought of the scene where countless demon clans had absorbed abundant spiritual energy and cultivated into omnipotent demons, commanding the demons to rush into the Central Plains.

Ma Boguang said with a smile: "This is just that cultivator's speculation, even if the Kyushu Dingding Fu collapses, it will not happen overnight, not to mention that there will be a hundred years left! Not to mention, the border savage land is not only the demon clan." ”

"Who else?" said Wu Ye, who didn't react.

Ma Boguang pointed at him: "Aren't you a resident of the Frontier Savage Land?"

Wu Ye suddenly realized, yes, in the eyes of the Central Plains countries, Wuwei Country is a border and barbaric country.

If the Kyushu Dingding Fu really collapses, and the aura floats in all directions, it is possible that Wuwei Kingdom will condense a part of the aura and take the opportunity to rise.

"Even if the Wuwei Kingdom really rises, it is estimated that it will be a hundred years later, and it has nothing to do with me! Forget it, the rise and fall of the world, there are those old monsters in the Yuan Infant Period, and the old monsters in the Transformation Stage to care, our body bones, if you want to care, you don't have this qualification, let's think about how to rush to the Innate Martial Arts Realm first!"

Wu Ye patted his round belly, put all the chaotic thoughts behind him, and extinguished the bonfire with ice and snow.

Just as the green smoke had just cleared, there was a sudden sound of talking in the cedar forest ahead.
