Hearing this, Luo Xiao was quite speechless.

"It's not a question of whether it's hard or not,"

Luo Xiao shook his head, "Although there are four levels in the Heart Refining Pagoda, only the first level is the one that really trains the disciples of the Dao Academy, and the second and third levels are not prepared for the disciples of the Qi cultivation period at all, but for the foundation building period to teach and exercise the Dao heart." ”

Seeing that Su Ming didn't understand anything, Luo Xiao patiently explained.

The foundation building period monks exercise the Dao heart!

Su Ming grasped the key point in Luo Xiao's words.

He was an eighth-level Qi cultivator, how could he be comparable to a foundation building period monk?

No, it's not!

There is one place where he can compete with the foundation monks, and that is divine consciousness!

Su Ming knew that the strength of the divine consciousness was closely related to the divine soul.

In other words, the consciousness is the perception of the soul!

Just as the human body has five senses, the soul also has the ability to perceive, and this is the divine sense.

Could it be said. The training of the Dao Heart by the Heart Refining Tower is related to the strength of the monk's divine soul?

Yes, there is no doubt that the high-ranking monks must be stronger in their persistence under pain than the low-ranking monks.

It's not that the Dao heart of a high-level monk is necessarily stronger than that of a low-level monk, but it is a matter of divine soul tolerance.

The more powerful the spirit, the stronger its ability to endure pain.

The same pain of Ling Chi may be painful for Qi cultivators, but it may not be the case for foundation building cultivators.

Thinking through this, Su Ming knew that it was not that he was talented, but that he had a divine sense comparable to that of a foundation building monk.

Seeing that Su Ming didn't speak, Luo Xiao looked at him with an envious expression.

"Brother Su, your charm talent is extraordinary, and your heart is so good, it seems that I have to congratulate Brother Su in advance on becoming a disciple of the Xianxia Sect!"

As he spoke, Luo Xiao arched his hand towards Su Ming.

Su Ming said humbly: "It's too early to say this, Brother Luo, you also know that I am only a three-spirit root cultivator, and the Xianxia Sect recruits disciples, and it still depends on the spirit root." ”

"The spiritual root is only the lowest proportion of the three assessments of the Xianxia Sect, Brother Su, you also know that as long as the resources are sufficient, the cultivation speed of the cultivator with poor spiritual root may not be as fast as the legendary Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator.

Even if there aren't that many resources, it's not difficult to compare to the cultivation speed of the Second Spirit Root Cultivator, right? ”

Luo Xiao paused, "So for the Xianxia Sect, the disciples' hearts and understandings are what they care more about, and the Xianxia Sect has enough resources to cultivate those disciples who have good hearts and understandings, but the spiritual roots are ordinary."

Of course, a genius with a good heart, understanding, and spiritual roots is what the Xianxia Sect wants to accept the most, but this kind of disciple is hard to find. ”

In the end, Luo Xiao shook his head.

Like Su Ming, he is also a monk of the Three Spirit Roots.

It's just that Luo Xiao's talent in charms is also quite good, and he was included in the focus of Qin Zhen.

But in terms of heart, he is a little far behind Su Ming.

As if thinking of something, Su Ming asked again: "By the way, Brother Luo, you just said that how long has the Yaoyuan Daoist Academy's record of holding on to the Heart Refining Tower for the longest time?" ”

"More than an hour!"

Speaking of this, there was a hint of amazement in Luo Xiao's eyes, "It is rumored that this genius disciple is born with a divine soul that is different from that of ordinary people, and it is said that he can release his divine consciousness before he is exposed to cultivation!" ”

"So exaggerated?"

"That's that exaggeration!"

Luo Xiao nodded and said solemnly, "At that time, this disciple had just entered the Xianxia Sect, and he was included in the key cultivation objects of the sect, and now it is estimated that he is already an inner disciple. ”

Speaking of this, Luo Xiao's face was envious, compared to this legendary genius, he was even worried about the Xianxia Sect's sect assessment.

Compared with the two, the gap cannot be reasoned.

Perhaps in the eyes of the ordinary disciples of the Dao Academy, he and Su Ming were also considered geniuses, but they were far from the record of this Heart Refining Pagoda.

"More than an hour"

Su Ming muttered silently.

He was only in the Heart Refining Tower, and he only lasted for more than half an hour, and the time difference between the two was nearly doubled.

The length of time to persist is not critical, the most important thing is whether the other party has passed the second level and stepped into the third level.

According to Qin Zhen.

The training of disciples in the Heart Refining Pagoda is divided into four levels.

The first level is the pain of the skin.

The second level is the pain of the saw bone.

The third level is the pain of rotting internal organs.

The fourth level is the pain of soul tearing that goes beyond the physical body and goes straight to the divine soul.

Obviously, the fourth level is not something that a monk can try to practice qi and build a foundation at all, and the first time the monk's soul transforms is after the monk attains the Dan.

Whether it is the Qi cultivation period or the foundation building period, although the divine soul is different, there is no qualitative change.

From this point of view, there is no essential difference between the Qi cultivation stage cultivators and the foundation building stage cultivators, and their divine souls are not fundamentally different from mortals, and they cannot be exposed to the air.

Once exposed to air, there is a danger that the soul will dissipate.

Being able to step into the second level proves that the monk at least has the strength of the spiritual soul comparable to that of the foundation building monk, and the longer he persists, the stronger the monk's Dao heart will be.

And stepping into the third level proves that this disciple not only has the strength of the divine soul comparable to the middle and even late stage of the foundation building monk, but also needs to be extremely firm in the Dao heart to persevere.

The third level is the limit of the monks in the later stage of foundation building, and the longer you persist in it, the closer you will be to this limit.

If you can be happy in the third level, it proves that the monk's soul has undergone a qualitative change, and you can consider entering the fourth level for training.

It's a pity that in the Yaoyuan Dao Academy, it is impossible for this kind of disciple to exist.

Even if it is a Taoist academy teaching, there are very few people who can touch the fourth level.

This is a level that can only be touched by monks in the Jindan period.

At least Su Ming was sure that Qin Zhen would definitely not be able to reach the fourth level, and even, the other party might not even be able to reach the third level.

Su Ming himself knew his own situation, his divine soul was strong, not innate, but thanks to the acquired cultivation of the "Divine Court Rizhao Sutra".

In the past, Su Ming was in Qingshuifang City, although he knew that the Divine Refining Technique was cherished, but he didn't expect it to be so cherished.

After coming to the Yaoyuan Water Realm, Su Ming discovered that the divine refining techniques that existed on the market were not only extremely rare, but the effect after cultivation was also a long distance worse than that of the Divine Court Rizhao Sutra.

It was only then that Su Ming realized that he had obtained an amazing exercise in the Zhang family.

Maybe the Zhang family themselves may not realize the preciousness of the "Divine Court Rizhao Sutra".

"It's a pity that this exercise is incomplete after all, and you can only cultivate to the Jindan stage."

Su Ming shook his head, thinking in his heart.

Say goodbye to Luo Xiao and return to the courtyard of the dormitory.

The first thing Su Ming did was to take out the jade slip of the "Divine Court Rizhao Sutra".

"It's a pity that I can't cultivate the second and third layers of the Divine Court Rizhao Sutra yet, otherwise I may not be able to break the record of the Daoist Academy's Heart Refining Tower."

As if thinking of something again, Su Ming unfolded his divine sense with all his might.

Thirty zhang, sixty zhang, one hundred zhang

It wasn't until it extended to a radius of one mile that the exploration of the divine sense slowly stopped.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Su Ming suddenly discovered that his divine sense actually extended forward by about a meter!

As for the scope of the exploration of the divine sense, Su Ming had tested it in detail, but it was only close to a mile, and it was always a little bit worse than the real one!

And this is the difference between him and the true foundation monks, and it represents a boundary.

But today, Su Ming's divine sense has broken this boundary!

Suddenly, Su Ming's heart became extremely hot.

"Does this mean that I can cultivate the second layer of the Divine Court Rizhao Sutra?"

Su Ming looked at the cultivation requirements of the second layer of the Divine Court Rizhao Sutra again, the cultivator's divine sense must break through the range of one mile, otherwise he would not be allowed to cultivate.

It's a pity that no matter how Su Ming's divine sense was exercised before, it was always a little short of breaking through a radius of one mile.

The Zhang family monks are not like this, their divine senses are all comparable to those of the foundation building monks, but compared to the real foundation building monks, they are always a little worse.

But this gap is that it is impossible to cultivate the second layer of the Divine Court Rizhao Sutra.

If you want to cultivate, you can only break through to the foundation building period.

Only when the monk builds the foundation, the sea of consciousness transforms, and the divine sense is strengthened again, can he continue to cultivate.

But now, under the tempering of the Heart Refining Tower, Su Ming's divine sense has actually increased slightly.

Although this enhancement effect was only most obvious the first time, and it would get weaker and weaker in the future, it helped Su Ming break the limit of his divine sense covering a mile of radius!

The preconditions for cultivating the second layer of the Divine Court Rizhao Sutra have been achieved.

If in the past, unless Su Ming broke through to the foundation building period, it would be impossible for him to continue to cultivate the Divine Court Rizhao Sutra.

As soon as he thought of this, Su Ming's heart suddenly became hot.

In fact, not to mention monks, even ordinary mortals know that after a thing reaches its limit, it is often the most difficult to break through.

This is what is called a level in practice.

Now, Su Ming is relying on the tempering of the Heart Refining Tower, and unknowingly, he has broken this level of level!

After a brief period of excitement.

Su Ming calmed down again.

"Although my divine sense has reached the minimum standard for cultivating the second layer of the Divine Court Rizhao Sutra, after all, my sea of consciousness has not undergone the transformation of the foundation building period, and I have to be extremely careful to cultivate the second layer of exercises."

Su Ming was very cautious, he didn't get carried away just because he was able to cultivate the second layer of the Divine Court Rizhao Sutra.

Because he knew that compared to a real foundation building monk, although he had reached the minimum standard for cultivating this exercise at this time, it was still much more difficult to cultivate than a real foundation building monk.

It takes a lot of care.

Of course, no matter how difficult it is, it will not be more difficult than the third layer of the "Divine Court Rizhao Sutra", in Su Ming's opinion, cultivating the third layer of the "Divine Court Rizhao Sutra" is simply committing suicide.

Following.

After finishing the cultivation of "Thick Earth Gong" overnight, Su Ming finally waited for the time when the morning sun first appeared.

Similar to the first layer of the "Divine Court Rizhao Sutra", to cultivate the second layer of the "Divine Court Rizhao Sutra", you need to wait for the rising sun.

Because the true intent of the Great Day is the weakest at this moment, it is suitable for monks who have initially cultivated the second level of exercises to include it in the sea of knowledge, so as to exercise the sea of knowledge and enhance their divine sense.

Compared with the first layer of exercises to sharpen the divine consciousness outside the body, the second layer of the "Divine Court Rizhao Sutra" is much more dangerous.

Su Ming's sea of knowledge had not yet undergone a transformation, so it was more difficult to cultivate than an ordinary foundation building cultivator.

But no matter how difficult it is, Su Ming has the confidence to overcome it.

If he didn't even dare to cultivate the second layer of the Divine Court Rizhao Sutra, how could he expect to cultivate the third layer in the future?

As soon as he thought of this, Su Ming held his breath and concentrated, and used his divine sense to slowly incorporate a trace of the true meaning of the Great Sun extracted from the rising sun into the center of his eyebrows.

Just as this trace of the true intent of the Great Sun entered the Eyebrow Mud Pill Palace, Su Ming's forehead suddenly became hot.

Immediately after, Su Ming's entire head began to emit a violent high temperature.

If this high temperature were replaced by ordinary people, they would have been burned into fools a long time ago.

But at this moment, in Su Ming's dark sea of knowledge.

A ball of fire suddenly lit up in the very center of the sea of knowledge.

It was as if in the dead chaos of silence, lighting a fire, dispelling the darkness and illuminating the sea of knowledge.

At this moment, Su Ming finally "saw" what his sea of knowledge was like.

"This is my sea of knowledge?"

Su Ming found that the space of Zhihai after being illuminated by the firelight was very cramped.

Underneath the firelight, a golden lotus flower floated silently, it was his divine sense defense magic weapon, the Three Lives Lotus Seal.

If Su Ming's sea of knowledge is described by size, it is more like a spherical space with a diameter of only about one mile.

Although Zhihai is located in the center of Su Ming's eyebrows, this sphere space obviously does not belong to this dimension.

It seems that Su Ming's Mud Pill Palace is just an anchor point for Zhihai in the real world.

And its own space is not in this dimension.

Now, under the effect of the exercises of the "Divine Court Rizhao Sutra", that trace of the true meaning of the Great Sun has passed through this anchor point and came to this mysterious sea knowledge space.

Thanks to the "Divine Court Rizhao Sutra", this is the first time Su Ming has seen his sea of knowledge.

After a short period of novelty, Su Ming began to follow the record of the second layer of exercises in the "Divine Court Rizhao Sutra", and little by little used the true meaning of the Great Day that was incorporated into the sea to expand the space of sea knowledge and enhance his divine sense.

It was only now that Su Ming finally knew why the first layer of the exercises of the "Divine Court Rizhao Sutra" did not directly use the true intention of the Great Sun to expand the sea of knowledge, but borrowed the medium of divine consciousness.

Because during the Qi cultivation period, the monk's sea perception was too weak.

Directly let the Great Sun sincerely expand it, and if it is not good, it will directly lead to the collapse of the monk's knowledge.

At that time, the monk will directly become a fool who has lost his senses.

With the help of the medium of divine consciousness, you can not only exercise your divine consciousness, but also use the exercised divine consciousness to expand the sea of consciousness.

It's a pity that Su Ming has not been able to look at the appearance of Zhihai before, and he doesn't know how Zhihai has been expanded to this extent, but Su Ming believes that his Zhihai is definitely not so big from the beginning.

According to the records in the Taoist scriptures, the monk's mud pill palace was completely closed at first, that is, a singularity.

The birth of the monk's divine consciousness is equivalent to opening a small space on this singularity, and then this space will gradually expand as the divine consciousness increases.

Or, with the expansion of the space of the sea of consciousness, the monk's divine sense has gradually increased, and both of these statements are not wrong.

Divine Soul, Divine Consciousness, and Sea Awareness, these three are all simultaneously enhanced.

The so-called refining of gods is what is refined by these three.

Su Ming knows the sea.

With the operation of the second layer of the "Divine Court Rizhao Sutra", a trace of the true meaning of the Great Sun finally integrated into the entire sea knowledge space.

As Da Ri's true intention merged into the sea of knowledge, Su Ming found that his divine sense had been enhanced a little bit.

Exiting the sea of consciousness space, Su Ming unfolded his divine sense again, and this time, he found that his divine sense completely exceeded the range of one mile, and it was nearly a zhang away.

This coincides with the expansion of his sea space.
