Chapter 39: The Theory of Magical Powers
talked about some contradictions between the human race and the demon race, and then explained the general realm of cultivating immortals with Ling: "Before the Great War of the Gods, there were four ways to cultivate immortals: heaven, earth, human beings and ghosts, and after the Great War, they were divided into five types, namely heavenly immortals, earth immortals, human immortals, immortals, and ghost immortals. The reason why immortals are immortals is because immortals jump out of the Three Realms and Five Elements, and they are not affected by birth, old age, sickness and death. ”
Immortals do not pursue power, power is only a by-product of immortals seeking immortals, immortals pursue the highest realm, is to jump out of the three realms and not enter the five elements, is to escape from pain forever, and how to achieve this goal, the answer is to cultivate immortals.
"Generally speaking, you Terran monks have three realms: Jiedan, Bigu, and Yuanshen, and if you have these three realms, you can be regarded as a human immortal, and then you will have to cross the tribulation. Many monks choose to stay in the Yuan Shen realm for the rest of their lives, because the tribulation is too dangerous. Of course, if the tribulation is successful, it will be an earth immortal, and if you continue to cultivate and break through on the basis of an earth immortal, you will be a heavenly immortal. As for the ghost immortals, in fact, the primordial spirit does not disperse after the cultivation fails, but the ghost immortals do not enter the stream after all, so whether it is the four great immortals or the five great immortals, they are all ranked last. ”
"What other realm does that heavenly immortal have?" Yun Yao was very curious, and heard that as long as there were three realms, he could cross the catastrophe and become an immortal, and felt that it was not very difficult to become an immortal.
"It should be Da Luo Jin Xian and the saint." He Ling said: "I don't dare to have such a high luxury, and I don't even have the luxury of surviving the catastrophe. Since the establishment of the three religions by the sage, except for the monks who have the backers of the sect, there are few examples of successful cross-the catastrophe of casual cultivation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is one in a million. ”
Yun Yao was a little eager to try: "It doesn't seem to be very difficult." ”
"It's really not difficult for your human race, there are countless immortals who have formed a pill within a hundred years, opened a valley in two hundred years, and cultivated a primordial god in five hundred years. But there are many monks in our demon clan who have been cultivating for thousands of years, and they are trapped in the Bigu period, and it is difficult to improve. "It's the same with Suzu, and that's where she gets hurt.
"Don't worry, we can unite as companions on the road of cultivating immortals, make progress together, and become immortals together." Yun Yao comforted and said: "When the time comes, if you become an immortal first, then you will cover me, if I become an immortal first, I will cover you, in short, the road to cultivating immortals is not lonely." ”
Although I don't understand what Yun Yao means when she says 'covered', it is probably equivalent to supporting each other, seeing Yun Yao's sincerity, and Ling couldn't help but give birth to a warm current, so he said: "You are really my mirror, if you have a heart, then you have to work hard to temper yourself, and finally let me find the fairy fate through you, so that I can reflect myself through you." ”
As soon as Yun Yao wanted to nod, he thought of a realistic question: "I don't have anything but the mental method now, can the benefactor pass on one or two magical powers to me?" ”
He Ling shook his head: "It's best not to rush to learn supernatural powers first, supernatural powers are very important for monks, remember not to be impatient, because supernatural powers pay attention to a general word, and supernatural powers and supernatural powers need to be matched to be connected, if the combination is not appropriate, it will hinder your own practice." ”
It was the first time Yun Yao had heard of the supernatural power and this saying: "Why? Isn't supernatural power a spell skill? Isn't it the necessary ability to kill people and set fires for home travel? "It's just a skill, how can it affect cultivation?
This is to ask Suzu, because she has also heard others say to pay attention to supernatural powers, but she really hasn't asked why to pay attention. So the willow eyebrows furrowed, and fell into deep thought, wanting to organize the language before answering.
"Look at the Zhu River in front of the door. If you compare people to the Zhu River, then the mana of the cultivator is the river water, and the higher your realm, the more the river water. The Zhu River has straight roads and curves, and it flows crookedly to the East China Sea, and the straight and curved paths are supernatural powers, which determine the direction of mana and determine the height of immortal cultivation. He Ling thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with such a metaphor.
"Isn't it the mental law that determines the direction of mana flow?" Yun Yao didn't understand, she felt that the heart method was the direction of the river.
"The mental method is the source of water, and it does not determine what form your mana will be presented in the end."
It seems to be a little understood, the mental method is the cultivation of mana, and the supernatural power is the presentation of mana. If the presentation is not done in the right way, the mana will not be able to be exerted, and it will in turn affect one's cultivation?
"Does it mean that the mental realm determines the upper limit of our mana, and the supernatural power determines the method by which we achieve our goal? The method is wrong, no matter how strong the mana is, it can't reach the goal? ”
Kazuzu nodded: "You're smart, that's what I mean." Because the supernatural power cannot be changed once chosen, and the immortal cultivator must master the supernatural power at every stage, so once you choose the wrong supernatural power, it is difficult to really reach the highest immortal path, unless you are not here, otherwise I don't mind if you choose the supernatural power now. It's best to find a famous teacher before deciding too late. ”
"Okay. I really don't know these things, and I thought that supernatural powers were ordinary spells, and it didn't matter if I learned them. ”
"There is a world of difference between supernatural powers and spells, spells are to exert mana on external objects, and they use mana to influence foreign objects, and they have no effect on the monks themselves. But supernatural powers are not, supernatural powers can also be called supernatural powers, but they lead to their own divine souls, and supernatural powers are not only external but also internal. If you want to learn spells, you can, because spells are only external. ”
I see, the supernatural power will also be internal, no wonder it can determine the direction of mana and determine the monk's cultivation.
"At each stage, you have to learn different supernatural powers to assist your cultivation, so the combination of supernatural powers is very important, because only if the supernatural powers of your cultivation are matched enough can a large amount of river water flow into the East China Sea. If you don't choose the right one, not only will the river not flow into the East China Sea, but it may overflow or spin in place, causing endless harm. ”
In fact, the analogy with the bell is not accurate, because the influence of supernatural powers is actually more abstract and not so concrete.
If you want to make an analogy, it should be a huge multi-phase project. The realm of the mind is capital and land, and the better the mind, the more money you accumulate, and the more land you can build a building on. And the magic is the design of the building, if the magic power does not match, then the first phase may be garden style, the second phase has become the Gothic style, the third phase is the technology style, and finally the project is completed, but the style is messy, it will only be disgusting.
The same is true for immortals, who have good mental methods and high mana, and the more capital they have to learn supernatural powers, the more choices they have. But if the supernatural powers do not match, then in the end, it will be difficult for this immortal to form a coherent abstract temperament, or a 'god', even if a godless immortal has a high mana, he will be killed by the heavenly calamity.
The ugliness of the building is hated by others, and the immortal god is disgusted by the Heavenly Dao, and if he is hated by the Heavenly Dao, he will not die, and if he is disgusted by the Heavenly Dao, he will die miserably.
Therefore, a set of coordinated supernatural powers can establish an immortal god, a temperament, and a quality, so that you can go far enough on the road of cultivating immortals. The god of the immortals is as important as the soul of the nation, and the supernatural power is not the entity that the bell says, but the truth is the reality.
This is the real function of the supernatural power, which is to guide the immortals to produce the divine soul that stands between heaven and earth, although this kind of thing cannot be touched or seen, but it definitely exists, and it is definitely the intentional guidance of the Heavenly Dao.
