Chapter 3: What is Cultivating Immortals?
In one of Ji's palaces, the young man sat in front of the young man.
"Master, what is cultivation?" Ji Ning opened his mouth and said that he had only read similar content in the book and had not experienced it personally.
"The road of cultivating immortals is bumpy and difficult, one step at a time to shape the supreme foundation, do you have the perseverance to complete it?" Bai Xuan directly retold what his master said to him to Ji Ning.
Ji Ning pricked up his ears and listened carefully, very seriously.
"I have perseverance and faith, Master"
"Please also ask the master to teach me the way of cultivation."
"Good" looked at Ji Ning's serious face, Bai Xuan touched his head and said. Then he said gently:
"The first level of cultivating immortals is the day after tomorrow to the innate level!
"What is innate? Heaven and earth are born and born, which is called innate souls. Like some gods and demons in the distant era of gods and demons, they were born from heaven and earth, and they were born with great magical powers. There are also six reincarnations to the heavenly realm to become 'heavenly beings' and 'Shura', these heavenly beings and Shura are born from heaven and earth, and they are also born with innate beings, and they cultivate very quickly, and only congenital beings can cultivate immortals!"
"Mortals can't cultivate immortals, but there will always be a glimmer of life left in the heavens, so there are predecessors who have created a cultivation method, so that mortals' cultivation bodies are like 'innate beings, and this is the possibility of cultivating immortals.'"
"The second difficulty of cultivating immortals is to go to the Purple Mansion one day!
"You must open up the Purple Mansion to cultivate immortals, this opening up the Purple Mansion is like building a house to "lay the foundation", like planting food to "reclaim the field", this Purple Mansion is the field, it is the source of cultivating immortals, and it is the foundation of the Great Dao! Only when you really open up the Purple Mansion in your body can you embark on the path of cultivating immortals, and only then can you be qualified to be called a Purple Mansion monk!"
"When you open up the Purple Mansion and become an immortal cultivator, you have monstrous strength. It is against the way of heaven to cultivate to become an immortal, so from the day you set foot on the immortal road, that is, from the moment you open up the Purple Mansion, there will be a test every three hundred years, and a catastrophe every nine hundred years. The so-called 'every three is a disaster, every nine is a disaster, the disaster is easy to dodge, and the disaster is difficult to escape!' This test has been repeated every three hundred years, and it has been the second major test every nine hundred years, and as long as you walk on the path of cultivating immortals, it will continue like this forever...... Unless you become a celestial immortal, otherwise the 'Three Tribulations and Nine Tribulations' will be the eternal calamity of every immortal cultivator. ”
Three calamities and nine calamities?
Every three is a disaster, every nine is a disaster, the disaster is easy to hide, and the disaster is difficult to escape?
Seeing the look of shock on Ji Ning's face, Bai Xuan opened his mouth to comfort: "You don't have to worry too much, with your qualifications, it is only a matter of time before you become a heavenly immortal." ”
"My qualifications, is my qualification very good" Ji Ning's heart was full of doubts.
"Do you know what is the most important thing in cultivating immortals?" Bai Xuan looked at Ji Ning and said.
Ji Ning pondered for a while: "Exercises? ...... "Talented?" Or is it a "resource?" ”
"Yes, not all of them are right, the most important thing in cultivating immortals is this" Bai Xuan pointed to his head.
"Master, do you mean wisdom?" The boy's crisp voice rang out.
"Yes, the most important thing in cultivating immortals is understanding!"
"You worship under the master, you will not lack resources, exercises, everything I will provide to you, but the only thing I can't help you is understanding"
"You need to realize your own way and follow your own path."
Ji Ning listened to Shizun's words and fell into deep thought, since he visualized the Nuwa diagram, he could use two things at his own time, and his understanding would not be much worse than his own. The look on his face changed from solemn and confident to confident.
Seeing the change in Ji Ning's expression, Bai Xuan couldn't help but nod and continued:
"There are two paths of cultivation."
"One is Qi refining! Nine out of ten of the people on the road of cultivating immortals are on this path, you can use many magical magic weapons, you can refine complex puppets, you can control a large number of poisonous insects and monsters, you can refine large arrays, and there are all kinds of evil cultivation methods..... In short, this is an incomparably complex and mysterious avenue. ”
"The other is body refining. It is rumored that many gods and demons were born at the beginning of the birth of the Three Realms, and these gods and demons were born with heaven and earth, and they were born with strong bodies! And the groundbreaking "Pangu" is the most powerful chaos god and demon, and it is also physically strong..... Therefore, some predecessors pondered the bodies of gods and demons, and created some methods of refining the body, so that cultivators have a body like gods and demons, King Kong is not bad, the power is infinite, the law is heaven and earth, three heads and six arms, blood is reborn, immortal and immortal.... And so on are all gods and demons refining the body. Refining the body is a hundred times more difficult than refining qi. ”
"Do you choose to practice your body or your qi?" Bai Xuan deliberately tested Ji Ning, so he asked Ji Ning.
Ji Ning held his chin with his hand, pondered for a while and replied, "Master, can I choose both!" ”
"Good" Bai Xuan patted Ji Ning's shoulder approvingly.
"If you practice the body, you will cultivate the Chiming Nine Heavens Diagram, this is a book of exercises that can be cultivated to the Heavenly Gods, and it is very powerful.
Practicing Qi is enough to cultivate the Northern Underworld Sutra, which is enough to cultivate to the Dao Ancestor. ”
Listening to the true god and Dao Ancestor in his master's mouth, Ji Ning asked curiously: "Master, what are the Heavenly God and Dao Ancestor?" ”
Bai Xuan looked at the curious Ji Ning and explained, "The Heavenly God refers to the cultivation of the body to the level of gods and demons, and the Dao Ancestor is the highest realm in this realm at present. ”
"Then master, have you also practiced these two exercises?"
"Nature"
Bai Xuan took out two volumes of Heavenly Books from the storage space and handed them to Ji Ning. Immediately, like Ji Ning, he carefully explained the cultivation method.
late at night
Ji Ning began to cultivate the first weight of the Chiming Nine Heavens Diagram according to Bai Xuan's guidance, Ji Ning closed his eyes and recalled the nine diagrams he had just memorized,
The body began to move according to the diagram, faintly revealing some mysterious and ancient charm.
Looking at the standard movements of the young man in front of him, Bai Xuan's face showed a smile of relief.
After Ji Ning finished the last movement, he knelt directly on the ground, holding his hands in front of him, as if he was holding the sun with one hand and the yin with the other.
Bai Xuan understood that Ji Ning had succeeded, and sure enough, looking at the scene in front of him, he saw countless starlight converging around Ji Ning's body, countless starlight was mainly divided into gold and silver, the blazing golden starlight and the cold silver starlight were constantly converging around Ji Ning, and gradually, a miniature star was condensed and suspended on Ji Ning's left hand, and an osmanthus tree could be faintly seen on the star, which was the Taiyin Star.
And the right hand held by the void, above is a flame star condensed and suspended, and there is a faint golden crow flying around, which is the sun star. One hand is a yin star, and the other hand is a sun star. Ji Ning, who was surrounded by countless starlights, had a quiet face on his face, looking so pious.
It is really the legendary Taiyin in one hand and the sun in the other, which is not much worse than the results of Bai Xuan's original cultivation.
"Open your mouth"
Hearing his master's words, Ji Ning opened his mouth, and a drop of yuan liquid entered Ji Ning's mouth. The condensation of the divine pattern, which had been about to stop, accelerated again.
After a while, Ji Ning completed the first cultivation of the Chiming Nine Heavens Diagram.
And the Yuan Liquid in Ji Ning's body had just been consumed halfway.
"That's all for today."
"Next, you will start to fight with the demon beasts, when will you break through the unity of human and sword, comprehend the artistic conception of the Dao, and when will you break through the innate realm." Bai Xuan didn't wait for Ji Ning to answer, so he waved his hand to let Ji Ning leave.
As for Ji Ning's first cultivation being so successful, everyone attributed the reason to Bai Xuan, and Ji Yichuan even came to thank him in person.
So far, three years have passed.
