Chapter 3: The Enlightenment Sutra

Long Yan was stunned for half a pillar of incense before he came to his senses, and he was busy looking at the jade pendant in his hand, but he saw that the two jade pendants had been merged into one, and the dragon ball in the middle had turned red, crystal like blood.

Then I sensed the sea of knowledge, and I found that there was a lot more content in my memory, and after careful search, I was shocked to find that it was actually a beginner practice "Enlightenment Sutra". After a preliminary glance, the first few pages of the sutra can be seen everywhere on how to absorb spiritual energy into the body, and it is obvious that this is an immortal scripture used by priests in cultivation, not a martial scripture used in warrior cultivation.

It's a pity that Long Yan has been detected since he was a child, and his physique is neither a martial body nor an immortal body, so he can't be sure and doesn't dare to let him practice, because once the exercises don't match his physique, he will explode and die.

At the age of ten, Long Yan inexplicably had a set of martial arts in his mind, and he couldn't help but be tempted to practice secretly at the risk of death, but he barely succeeded and became a samurai from then on. This surprised his grandfather very much, and he couldn't get the gist of it when he searched through the annals, so he had to tell him to be careful.

It's just that the progress of the cultivation of this set of martial arts scriptures is unbearable, five years have passed, Long Yan has only cultivated to the third order of the basic realm, and he has just been able to perform the stunt Haoyang Seven Uniques under the Nine Changes of Panlong, fortunately, the power of this Haoyang Seven Uniques is not bad, making his strength far beyond that of a warrior of the same level, and even the cross-level fighting is not inferior, which makes him very surprised.

In the Tian Yuan Continent, although everyone can cultivate, if you want to become a real warrior and a priest, you must awaken the spirit body after the ninth order of the foundation realm, if the awakening is successful, you can really embark on the path of cultivation, if you fail, you will always stay in the ninth order of the foundation realm, and become the lowest level of warriors and priests.

The spirit body is divided into two types: martial body and immortal body, those who have a martial body can cultivate the martial scriptures to become warriors, and those who have an immortal body can cultivate the immortal scriptures to become priests. Although spirits are also available to everyone, they are basically ordinary spirits with single or double attributes, and there is no one spirit with more than three attributes, which belongs to the list of rare spirits, and the gap between ordinary spirits and rare spirits is simply worlds apart.

Although Long Yan has become a warrior, and his physique seems to be confirmed to be a martial body, but from the perspective of cultivation speed, it is more than ten times slower than the most ordinary single-attribute martial body, and it will take him five years to achieve the results of others' cultivation in a few months, which is not bleak for Long Yan, but after all, there is still a glimmer of hope, and as long as there is hope, Long Yan will never give up.

Although it is an immortal scripture, in theory, Long Yan, who is a warrior, cannot cultivate, but thinking of his previous experience of risking to cultivate the martial scripture, Long Yan is ready to move again, and wants to take the risk to try it again. In Long Yan's opinion, there is no chance in this world for no reason, and since the opportunity has befallen him, it will definitely not be useless.

Thinking of this, Long Yan calmed down and studied carefully from the first page of the "Enlightenment Sutra". The opening chapter of the scripture said: "The essence of cultivation is to take martial arts as the foundation, cultivate immortals as the top, and gather immortals to condense, then immortals and martial arts are unique, and the avenue can become a ......" This shocked Long Yan and completely subverted his cognition.

In the vast world, martial arts cultivation and immortal cultivation are recognized as two completely different cultivation systems, and it is impossible to mix them up. However, according to the sutra, in order to attain the supreme path, one needs to first temper the foundation of cultivation by force, and then cultivate spiritual power on this basis, and then integrate the two, then you can break the routine and open up a new world.

After the integration of force and spiritual power, the power obtained by cultivation is a new thing called Yuan Li, with the support of Yuan Li, any martial arts or immortal cultivation exercises, martial arts and secret techniques in the world, Yuan Li owners have the opportunity to practice. In other words, with Yuan Li, the insurmountable barrier between the samurai and the priest no longer exists, and the strength of the cultivator will therefore far surpass that of the samurai or priest of the same rank.

Long Yan forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and read the "Enlightenment Sutra" carefully from beginning to end, and unexpectedly found that the martial arts cultivation method given in the scripture was the Panlong Nine Transformations that he had cultivated to the third order before. From this point of view, it is also the credit of Yu Pei that he got the Nine Transformations of Panlong before.

Long Yan couldn't help but take the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant in his hand and look at it again and study it carefully, but after using all the methods he could use, the Jade Pendant didn't move at all. Long Yan had to come to a helpless conclusion, the trigger of this thing should require some kind of thing, or a certain kind of condition and opportunity, and it is not something he can control at will.

And the medium triggered this time was from the hands of Fengling Princess Feng Xiaowan, but I don't know if she did it intentionally or unintentionally. Long Yan wanted to go to her to ask, but he was afraid that the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant would be exposed, although he felt that he and this princess should have some cause and effect, so that there would be no problems, but this Nine Dragons Jade Pendant has such a magical effect, it is definitely a treasure, and it is related to his mysterious life experience, it must not be a little wrong, and can only wait until the right time in the future.

Moreover, since this jade pendant is related to his life experience, it will definitely not be stimulated only with the help of external forces, there must be other excitation conditions related to him, but he has not discovered it yet, or has not reached a certain critical point. Thinking about these things clearly, Long Yan let out a sigh of relief and carefully hung the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant back around his neck.

Judging from what happened tonight, although his cognition was subverted, he didn't think it was nonsense, although this "Enlightenment Sutra" later explained that no one had ever practiced this exercise. Because in his cognition, there is nothing impossible in the world, and the fact that the predecessors have not practiced it does not mean that this road is impassable, and there are always people who have to open up, in this sense, he does not mind being this pioneer.

The only drawback was that at present, he only had the ninth-order exercises of the Foundation Realm, and he was not sure if he could cultivate this Immortal Sutra with a suspicious martial body. But even if you can cultivate, the source of the follow-up exercises is also a big problem.

What is certain is that this exercise has a very close relationship with the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant in his hand, and even has a great relationship with his mysterious background, but the problem is that he is currently unable to control this Nine Dragons Jade Pendant, and it is unknown when and how to obtain the follow-up exercises.

However, Long Yan currently needs to improve his strength as soon as possible to deal with the situation he is facing, this "Enlightenment Sutra" is undoubtedly the best choice, and he has no choice. As for the follow-up matter, he has the Nine Dragons Jade Pendant in hand, and sooner or later there will be a way to solve it, it is only a matter of time.

After making up his mind, Long Yan couldn't bear it anymore and immediately began to prepare for the cultivation of this "Enlightenment Sutra". According to the scriptures, the necessary condition for cultivating the first-order exercises is that the cultivation of martial arts must reach at least the fourth order of the foundation realm, and Long Yan is still at the third level of the martial cultivation foundation realm at this time, and there is still some distance from the fourth order.

If he is not injured, he will be able to break through within half a month, but now his first problem is to heal first. Long Yan sat down cross-legged again, mobilizing his force to prepare to heal his wounds, but he was shocked to find that the internal injuries he had suffered had healed, not only had the internal injuries healed, but his cultivation had also reached the peak of the third order of the foundation realm, and he was only one step away from the fourth order Xiaocheng stage.

"It seems that this must be the credit of the jade pendant, it should be the effect of the golden light that rushed into the sea of my knowledge, I really don't know what other magical effects this jade pendant will have, it is really exciting." Long Yan muttered to himself excitedly, and then lowered his eyes and entered the cultivation state.

Now that the barrier has been broken, then try to break through, and in the current state, it is estimated that it will be within a few hours. After breaking through, after taking a little time to consolidate the realm a little, you can start cultivating the "Enlightenment Sutra".

As the night deepened, Long Yan who was cultivating suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, and the strange bird that was resting on his shoulder was awakened, and flew up in the air with a strange scream, looking at Long Yan who suddenly had a surge in momentum below.

At the fourth level of the foundation realm, feeling the exponentially increasing force in his body, Long Yan's eyes flashed with excitement, and his hands disappeared in place in a flicker, leaving only a string of afterimages in the flash, and at the same time, he whispered "Tenglong Flash".

As soon as the words fell, a boulder weighing more than a thousand catties in the courtyard suddenly rose into the air, and after flying out of a distance, Long Yan's figure appeared on the spot and immediately shouted "Crack Dragon Strength".

Under the stunned gaze of the anthropomorphic anthropomorphic bird in the air, Long Yan stepped in front of a pine tree the thickness of a bowl by the courtyard wall, exhaled and blasted out with a single fist, and the pine tree disappeared in the wind with a piece of sawdust. "Tyrannosaurus Hammer," Long Yan said.

The sawdust was still flying in the air, but Long Yan's hands were moving rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the palm shadow turned into ten, ten into hundred, and hundreds of thousands of people submerged his figure, and the light cluster composed of the palm shadow rolled and scattered the sawdust in all directions. At the same time, Long Yan's steady voice "Ten Thousand Dragon Seals" came out.

As soon as the voice fell, the palm shadow dissipated, Long Yan burst into a shout, flew up in the air, kicked out, and with a "boom", the hard bluestone slab ground was instantly torn apart, and one of Long Yan's feet went straight into the ground. "Crazy dragon step", Long Yan looked up and grinned at the strange bird.

Lifting his feet up, Long Yan's figure suddenly blurred, as if he didn't move, but there was an extra sword in his hand, and then there was a sound of the sword coming out of the sheath, and the strange bird looked at the empty sword scabbard hanging on the wall in the courtyard hall and made an unbelievable strange cry, and finally picked up Long Yan's slightly smug voice "Dragon Fantasy".

Before the strange bird could come to his senses, the sword in Long Yan's hand suddenly cleared up, and the tip of the sword burst out with cyan sword qi more than three feet long, dancing like snow, like smoke and electricity. "Swimming Dragon Blade", a voice like groaning and drinking came from Long Yan's mouth.

As soon as the sword light flickered, Long Yan's figure suddenly disappeared. The strange bird looked around in astonishment, but saw that the night was like ink, and there was no trace of anyone around. Just wanted to fly away, but suddenly felt a tightness in his body, as if he was held tightly by an invisible big hand, unable to move, in a panic, Long Yan's figure appeared, and said with a smile, "Panlong Nine Changes."

The strange bird stood back on Long Yan's shoulder, and patted his little chest with his left wing, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and he heard Long Yan smile and say: "Chi'er, my Panlong Nine Transformations and Haoyang Seven have made a lot of progress, but can I still see it?"

The strange bird tilted its head and thought about it, nodded, shook its head again, and finally spread its wings, and suddenly flew into the air, and disappeared in a flash. Long Yan smiled and scolded, and muttered: "Little thing, you mean to say that my martial arts skills are okay, but it is not enough to deal with the Northern Hades Mansion and pass the exam of the Dragon Teng Academy, let me do it myself? What else can I do, I can only try to cultivate the "Enlightenment Sutra", you are relaxed, you go out for supper every night, and you don't say help me." ”

After grunting for a while, Long Yan calmed down again to comprehend the first-order exercises and try to cultivate according to the law. What made Long Yan overjoyed was that he had made the right bet again, and just as soon as he began to comprehend, Long Yan clearly felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was pouring into his body continuously, and the speed was unusually fast, which made his heart beat a little.

An hour later, Long Yan cultivated to the third level of the "Enlightenment True Scripture" like a bamboo, which made Long Yan completely stunned, and this speed was also a little too terrifying. Next, he was even more shocked to find that he had lost control of his body.

Through the internal vision technique, Long Yan found that the spiritual power he had just cultivated was slowly fusing with the force in his body, and the new spiritual power after the fusion was not controlled by him, and the numbness and tingling in the meridians were accompanied by itching and tingling, and at the same time, the bone joints were slight, dense and regular vibrations, the muscles were twisted and reorganized, and the blood was boiling and exchanged.

After nine weeks of the new spiritual power operating on its own, all the visions in Long Yan's body completely stopped, and he regained control of his body. Under careful induction, Long Yan was ecstatic to find that he could very clearly sense the basic five elements aura between heaven and earth.

He knew exactly what that meant. In the vast world, the more types of spiritual energy that can be sensed, the higher the cultivation qualifications. If he can sense all the basic Five Elements Aura, then he can already be sure that he already has the Five Elements Psychic Body, which is one of the rare two great spirit bodies, with this kind of spirit body, he can finally get rid of mediocrity.

Moreover, the road he took was an unprecedented one, and he did not know where the end of this road was, and what unexpected things would happen on the road, but since he had chosen, he no longer regretted it. Only by following your own path can you take your destiny into your own hands.

Thinking of this, Long Yan recited silently in his heart: Cultivating martial arts is the foundation, cultivating immortals is the top, and martial arts gather immortals, then immortals and martial arts are unique, and the avenue can be achieved. As soon as his mind moved, the Yuan Force in his body operated throughout his body, and the Panlong Nine Transformation Martial Arts Mental Technique was activated, and Long Yan's body disappeared into the void in an instant.

"Hahahaha...... And sure enough. Long Yan laughed and emerged from the void. Stretching out his hand like electricity, he grabbed the strange bird that had just returned from foraging outside in his hand. The strange bird looked at Long Yan, who was laughing incessantly, with the eyes of a fool.

With a sigh of laughter, Long Yan completely calmed down and immediately entered the cultivation of the fourth order. According to the scriptures, the completion of the fourth order is considered a small achievement, and every time the first order is completed, there will be a corresponding "spirit phase" appearing, which is similar to the secret art in cultivating immortals, which can give the cultivator a certain special ability, which makes Long Yan look forward to it very much.

At dawn, Long Yan, who was meditating quietly, slowly opened his eyes, just now, he broke through to the fourth order without any suspense, and obtained the fourth level of spiritual "awareness", the spiritual consciousness no longer only exists in the sea of consciousness, but can be released outside the body to perceive the movement within a certain range.

However, just as Long Yan was trying to use his spiritual sense to probe the situation around the small courtyard, a cold look suddenly flashed on his face. He found that the surroundings of the small courtyard had been targeted, and the leaders were two of the young masters of the four major families who followed the little marquis Jiang Yi during the day. Obviously, the Northern Hades Mansion has not relaxed its surveillance of him.

Since the door is blocked, there is no reason to sit idly by, and it is just the opportunity to verify the power of this "Enlightenment Sutra". Long Yan had made up his mind, raised his hand and flicked the strange bird that was napping on his shoulder and smiled: "Wake up Chi'er, someone beats us for a bad idea, how about we beat them?"

As soon as the strange bird heard that it was going to beat someone, it immediately woke up and opened a pair of bird's eyes, revealing a humanized look of excitement. It's no wonder it's so excited, when it was messing with Long Yan in the North Underworld before, it was almost caught and roasted several times by the children of the five tyrants, this time there is hope for revenge, how can it not be overjoyed.

Seeing this scene, Long Yan couldn't help but pat the bird's head lightly, and scolded casually: "I know that you are not a good bird either." With that, he waved his hand, and the bird spread its wings and flew out first. Long Yan also took the Panlong Nine Mind Change Method, disappeared into the void, and went outside.
