"You should see that the meaning of the top and bottom of this painting is very clear, one is an immortal, the other is a layman, and there are five towers in it, which represents the fivefold realm of human cultivators. This has been a rule for a long time, but it is still followed among the various sects. Of course, with the passage of time, each sect and faction also has some of its own exquisiteness, and each has set up some internal levels, such as our Yuequan Sect: there are elders under the head, then the master, and finally the disciples, and there are scattered cultivators. These are not the general realm guidelines, but the Yuequan Sect's own set of internal rules, which is convenient to manage, only the fivefold realm drawn on this picture is universal. ”

"How is this fivefold realm divided?" Song Yi couldn't help but ask, and what he wanted to ask in his heart was: What kind of realm has my current cultivation reached in this fivefold realm?

"The lowest and lowest stage is called a cultivator. The head raised his hand, pointed to the picture and said, "This level is all-encompassing, and the number is the largest, as long as a person embarks on the path of cultivation, even if it is just the first day of entry, he can be called a cultivator." ”

Song Yi also looked at the painting scroll, and his eyes moved along the words of the master.

"A monk is a level above and is called a monk, which is the rank after achieving a certain amount of results in cultivation, and there are many fewer people at this stage than monks. Generally speaking, the heads of many small sects do not stop here, and the elders and elites of large and medium-sized sects are also mostly located in this class. ”

That...... Song Yi's heart moved, and he wanted to ask how many people in our Yuequan Sect had reached this realm?

The head of the sect seemed to see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "In our sect, there are several elders who have reached this stage, and among the disciples...... Qingning has also reached the level of a monk. ”

"Senior brother?" Song Yi was stunned, Mo Qingning was so powerful? It means that if this person is put in other small sects, he can be the head of the sect?

"In addition, whether your senior brother Yunzheng has reached this stage or not, I haven't tried, but I guess he should have arrived, according to Qingning, they are between the two of them, since this is the case, Qingning has arrived, and Yunzheng has naturally arrived. ”

"Little Senior Brother is also a monk? Song Yi was happy for him from the bottom of his heart.

The head looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, "As for you...... Maybe you have touched the threshold of the monk, or even stepped forward on one leg, your situation is quite special, and it is really difficult to say. ”

"Yes......"

"One level higher, there's the real person, and I'm here. The head pointed to the building in the picture, and continued: "There are many fewer people who have stepped into the realm of real people than monks, and there are more heads of the big sects in this wave, after all, there are many things to manage and teach, and it is inevitable that they will occasionally neglect to improve, but there are very few non-masters who have broken through the realm of real people and gone up to the ......."

Song Yi stared at the gorgeous building at the top of the picture, and listened to the master: "The realm of the true monarch." ”

Zhenjun?

Hearing these two words, Song Yi's heart suddenly moved, as if he had heard it somewhere......

"There are very few people who have attained the rank of True Monarch, and it can be said that this is the apex of mortals. I have lived for so many years, and I only know five or six true monarchs, one of whom is your master: the True Monarch of Fire Robbery Glass, Du Yilou. ”

“...... Master?!"

Song Yi was taken aback, and suddenly remembered, no wonder there was a sense of familiarity, he had indeed heard Mo Qingning say the name of the master: the true monarch of the fire robbery glass.

It turns out that Master is so powerful......

"Not bad. Of the five True Monarchs I have known, your master is the strongest. Although there are only five levels, each level is not a line, but a whole field, like mountaineering, some at the top of the mountain, others at the bottom of the mountain. There is also a certain gap between them. ”

"I see, that's ......" Song Yi stared at the painting scroll, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, isn't there a realm that hasn't been said?

"Cultivators, monks, real people, true kings...... This is only the fourfold realm, what is the top one? How did you just say that the True Monarch is the apex of mortals?"

"For if you go any further, you are out of the realm of mortals. ”

After saying this, the head leisurely took a sip of tea, waited for a while, and then said slowly: "The top realm, called quasi-immortals, once you step into it, you have the qualifications to become immortals, and you are ready to meet the immortal calamity." If you can succeed, you can be reborn and achieve the great cause of immortals. If you fail accidentally, the foundation for many years will be ruined, and if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent. ”

"Immortal Tribulation?!"

"It's a test from the immortal realm. If you want to go one step further, get out of the red dust, live forever, and go to the immortal realm, you must accept the test of the immortals, so that they can recognize that you can become one of them. There are various forms of immortal tribulations, or they are subject to thunder and fire, or they are forging their minds, and no one knows what they will face at that time. ”

“...... It's a bit like a college entrance exam. Song Yi whispered.

The head seemed to hear it, glanced at him, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the immortal calamity is not something that you can pass by sitting at the table and writing two exam papers. Not only did many years of hard work, day and night of hard work be wasted, and even his life would be completely wiped out. It's okay for you to think about it now, anyway, you're still far away, when will you catch up with the progress of Qingning and Yunzheng. ”

Also...... Song Yi nodded, only to hear the head sigh, and said: "Because the immortal tribulation is too difficult, therefore, there are also some quasi-immortals who have entered a state of seclusion after obtaining this rank, and they have lost their ambition to go to the immortal world. They neither meet the test of immortal tribulation, nor do they make a big show in the world, or open a cave by themselves, or hide in the market. For these quasi-immortals who have no desire to challenge, the immortal world generally does not interfere much, as long as they do not act out of the ordinary, they acquiesce to their secluded life. ”

"In this way, aren't there many hidden peerless masters in the world?"

"To put it mildly, there are so many. ”

The head of the sect glanced at him, "Theoretically, the quasi-immortal should be a non-existent, or blank rank." Those who become quasi-immortals will most of them challenge the immortal tribulation in order to win the great cause of ascending to immortals. After all, even the true monarch is so difficult to do, let alone quasi-immortals? And how many people who can cultivate into quasi-immortals have no desires and no desires, and are willing to be silent? Most of them are already masters and lonely, and they only have a heart to defeat, even if they die in the immortal tribulation, they will die as they deserve, and they will be benevolent. Therefore, there are very few quasi-immortals who are truly secluded, and I heard that there are still people who have passed the immortal tribulation but choose to stay in the human world. ”

“...... Is there such a person?" Song Yi was taken aback, the immortal tribulation was so sad, but there were people who did not go to the immortal realm and stayed in the world?

"Well...... As the saying goes, one kind of rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and everyone's thoughts may be different. When cultivating to that realm, it is inevitable that the thoughts are different from ordinary people, maybe some people don't like to go to the immortal world, don't like to be immortals, and are willing to stay in this turbid but colorful world. ”

Through the immortal tribulation, but still left in the red dust......

Hearing this, Song Yi's heart suddenly moved, thinking of the old ugly and lame wandering girl, after saving her by himself, he felt the glance of the fairy eye, and the old man of the Gao family also mentioned her relationship with the fairy in the painting, could she ......

"Is that ......possible?"

Speaking of this, Song Yi suddenly stopped, looked at him and raised his eyebrows.

"What?"

“...... No, nothing. ”

After weighing it in his heart for a moment, Song Yi finally held back and didn't ask questions.

After all, it was just my own feelings, and what the old man Gao relayed by Wen Ling said had no evidence, so it was abrupt to ask the head rashly, and there was no need to ask now. The head explained these painting scrolls to himself, but it was just to change the topic, enliven the atmosphere, and calm and appease his own mentality, tonight's theme is still the matter of Jiulu Palace after all......

Therefore, regarding the question of whether there are immortals hidden around the Yuequan Sect, let's take the time to ask Mo Qingning. Now it seems that he is obviously the henchman of the head, and most of the things that the head knows, he also knows eighty or ninety percent, and he is okay if he asks him.

Thinking of this, Song Yi breathed a long sigh of relief and looked around the clean room again, his heart was quite agitated. A few walls, a few scrolls, just like a few sketches of this world, listening to the master's narration, it seems that he has seen many vast and deep things that he had never thought of before.

A boundless avenue of cultivation gradually spread out in Song Yi's mind, and the layers of steps and levels began to become clear, as if they were within reach.

Cultivators, monks, real people, true monarchs, quasi-immortals...... All the way up to the mysterious world inhabited by the immortals.

......

Click.

A soft sound regained Song Yi's attention. I saw the head of the house put down the teacup, his expression was indifferent with concern, and two deep and calm eyes wandered over him, and then stopped at the hilt of the sword on his waist.

Song Yi understood that the next topic was...... The body couldn't help but tense, but he didn't escape, and calmly met the gaze of the master.

Looking at his performance, the head nodded slightly, pointed at his waist, and said, "I recognize this sword, the design of the palace master of the Nine Egret Palace." The year before last, he came to visit me, and he brought with him a blueprint for this sword, and he showed it to me, saying that he would have time to make it later, and it seemed that it had been completed. How did you get it, take it down and show it to me?"

This is not mentioned, that is not mentioned, a mention is the most painful part of Song Yi's heart, he was stunned for a second, took off the sword, handed it to the master, and said in a low voice: "This sword has been completed, but it is not cast by the master, it is cast by his daughter." ”

"It's Xiaofei. The kid ...... That kid was very talented in casting, and when the palace master came, he also revealed that this sword should be completed by father and daughter. ”

The head said, one hand slowly rubbing on the blade of the sword, as if sensing something left in it. Suddenly, he frowned and asked, "Did you use this sword to launch the magic circle......?"
