Chapter 81: Heavenly Tribulation Gong, Ten Years of Retreat and Seven Layers
Ordinary things, friars' anecdotes. There are thousands of things in the world, some people have experienced birth, old age, sickness and death from birth, just a few decades, without leaving a little wind, like the leaves of the canopy, budding, flourishing, and finally quietly falling and burying the soil.
There are also people who have experienced thousands of years, fought against bandits, killed evil bandits, and left a great reputation.
The exploration of the Sun Moon Gate Patriarch's Cave Mansion was not a major event at all among the various anecdotes in the cultivation realm. It is like a drop of water in the vast world of cultivation, which has long since disappeared into the long river of time with the passage of time.
Even Crescent Town, in these long years, has forgotten the things of the year, and I don't know what the Cold Moon Haoyue Holy Ji got in the cave, and I don't know that the cave house explored the shadow of the great prince of the dynasty back then.
Of course, people don't know what the eldest prince got in the end. In short, a few years after this trivial matter in the cultivation realm, although the eldest prince failed to ascend to the throne of the emperor, his power and strength were already completely comparable to the old emperor.
The world said that the eldest prince at this time was the most likely to get the throne of the emperor, because he had already obtained the Nine Dragons Jade Seal and the True Dragon Qi.
And what the world doesn't know the most is that ten years ago, there was one less person who walked out of the Sun Moon Gate Cave Mansion.
Biyue and Xiaopeach thought that this person might have died in the cave, and the second daughter was sad for a while, and finally chose to leave Crescent Town. They no longer have the strength to make the Sun Moon Gate prosperous again, and perhaps in the years to come, they will only be a speck of dust in the vast cultivation realm, drifting away with the wind, or finding a place for themselves, slowly growing old, and slowly dying.
As for the two holy concubines of Cold Moon and Haoyue, no one knows whether they came out of the cave mansion, and no one has proved it, and perhaps like most people who entered the cave mansion, they all died there.
There is a person who is sure to leave the cave safely, and it is with the help of this person that the great prince has his current status.
Ten years later, the supreme existence of this cultivation realm is called the Colorful Immortal Venerable, except for the Great Prince, this person's status can be said to be below one person, above ten thousand people, respected by tens of millions, and enjoying eternal wealth.
Chen Yuan was naturally the one who was young, and since he got the Heavenly Tribulation Gong and planned to retreat in the Cave Mansion, he didn't know anything about the things in the Cave Mansion.
Although "Heavenly Tribulation Gong" is only a yellow-level exercise, it is completely different from "The Scorching Sun Burning Heart Technique", not only is it obscure, but it is also like an ancient astronomy, and each word requires countless hours to figure out.
Just by understanding all the exercises thoroughly, Chen Yuan spent four years. Of course, in the past four years, in addition to carefully figuring out "Heavenly Tribulation Gong", he has not stopped practicing "Scorching Sun Burning Heart Technique".
It is true that the "Scorching Sun Burning Heart Technique" is a book of exercises suitable for Qi refining period cultivators, but his cultivation speed is too slow, and it took four full years of cultivation for Chen Yuan to enter the sixth layer of Qi refining.
If a monk with good talent practiced a good exercise, he might have already advanced from the first level of qi refining to the sixth level of qi refining in the past four years.
And Chen Yuan spent four years and only broke through one layer, which can not be described as slow as a snail.
Fortunately, in the past four years, "Burning Heart Sword Technique" has made good progress, in addition to making the Burning Fire Sword Slash more refined, the second move of the Three Swords of Burning Heart has also made good progress.
The three swords of burning the heart belong to the second move of the sword technique, which seems to be a sword slash of one move, but it is actually a triple move, namely: sword breaking, sword extinguishing and sword heart.
Among the three joint moves, Sword Breaking and Sword Extinguishing are relatively easy to cultivate, and the third move, Sword Heart, took Chen Yuan two years to integrate with the first two moves.
As for the third move of the sword technique, although Chen Yuan forcibly cultivated it, he did not make the slightest progress.
After advancing to the sixth level of Qi refining, Chen Yuan did not stop his retreat, but began to try to practice the Heavenly Tribulation Gong.
According to the brief description of the Heavenly Tribulation Gong, if you want to use this skill to advance, you must be prepared to endure the Heavenly Tribulation, because this skill is not created for mortals, but for the descendants of a powerful god clan for their own children.
Mortal monks do not have divine blood, let alone divine roots, although they can practice this exercise, they must endure divine punishment. For example, from Qi refining to foundation building, divine punishment will definitely come, even if the monk finds the perfect method of foundation building, divine punishment will also come.
Only monks who survive the Heavenly Tribulation can be considered successful in promotion. And the stronger the strength, the stronger the divine punishment on the way to the promotion.
After fully understanding the "Heavenly Tribulation Gong", Chen Yuan had the idea of giving up practicing this exercise. After all, he is not a god, and he doesn't want to be punished by the gods.
Eventually, he gave up on his idea. As a monk, if you want to have the Great Dao Immortality, it is just a small divine punishment to compete with the Heavenly Dao, if you are afraid of it, why do you need to embark on this path of monkhood.
After making a decision in his heart, Chen Yuan began to retreat again, until two years later, he finally cultivated the first layer of the Heavenly Tribulation Gong, although this first layer did not allow him to advance from the sixth layer of Qi refining to the seventh layer of Qi refining, but it allowed him to obtain a divine skill.
Raiding the sky, Chen Yuan had seen it once. A powerful fingering technique used by the Colorful Sanren to fight against Kure Gun. It was also because of that finger that Chen Yuan got "Heavenly Tribulation Gong" by chance.
I have to say that the Heaven Tribulation Finger is indeed powerful, it is even more powerful than ordinary high-grade magic weapons, and a finger light shoots out, which is enough to penetrate 10,000 catties of boulders and 100 meters of mountains.
And what made Chen Yuan most pleased was that since he had found commonalities in "The Scorching Sun Burning Heart Technique" and "Heavenly Tribulation Gong", they both belonged to the skill of strength, which required strong perseverance and fierce courage.
"These two exercises are completely unsuitable for women's practice."
Chen Yuan secretly smiled bitterly, trying to use the commonality of the two exercises to practice together, not to mention, although he did not have excessive wisdom, he could use his understanding of the exercises to find a suitable cultivation method for himself.
After four years of research and pondering, Chen Yuan finally fused the two major yellow-level exercises, and named them: "Burning Heart and Tribulating Heavenly Gong".
Because of the fusion of the two major exercises, Chen Yuan advanced again, and in only four years, he successfully advanced from the sixth layer of qi refining to the seventh layer of qi refining.
In the last two years, Chen Yuan no longer focused on cultivation, he thought that he had advanced from the fifth layer of qi refining to the seventh layer at a time, and his cultivation speed was a little fast, and he needed to consolidate for a few years before seeking a breakthrough opportunity.
Of course, at this time he did not have the idea of leaving the retreat, but began to prepare for his imminent departure.
Since leaving the small mountain village, although Chen Yuan has not met the nobles, he has indeed experienced a lot of big battles, and he has also obtained a lot of magic weapons and treasures in his hands, among which the most convenient is the three-leaf flying knife, these three knives have made a lot of contributions to him.
After leaving the customs, the three-leaf flying knife will naturally become his most convenient magic weapon, so that it is the most suitable to maintain its top grade. A seventh-level Qi refining cultivator, if he has a superb magic weapon, it is still easy to cause some unnecessary trouble.
The Burning Heart Sword can be said to be the most suitable magic weapon for him now, especially after learning the second move of the Burning Heart Sword Technique, this sword should be the magic weapon that Chen Yuan can't afford to lose, and it needs to be kept at the top grade at the minimum.
In fact, Chen Yuan really wanted to promote the Burning Heart Sword to the best, but also because of his own strength, he couldn't promote it for the time being.
The remaining Heavenly Tribulation Ruler, Qiankun Bag, Wine Gourd and other magic weapons are not the most commonly used magic weapons, but they can all become their own follow-up killing moves, so it is best to let them reach the best, so that they will not attract the greed of others, and they can also make themselves stronger to the greatest extent.
The only regret was that the Black Turtle Shield had been completely shattered, and Chen Yuan had lost his only defensive magic weapon.
In order to strengthen his defense, in two years, Chen Yuan developed a lot of high-quality talismans, among which the shadow escape talisman, earth crack talisman and golden armor talisman recorded in the talisman picture book were the most satisfactory to Chen Yuan.
As the name suggests, it is a kind of escape talisman that is suitable for escaping when life is threatened.
The Earth Crack Talisman is an auxiliary offensive talisman, and when used, it has the power of the heavens and the earth splitting, and its power is definitely above the Golden Sword Talisman and the Ice Sword Talisman.
Of course, what satisfied Chen Yuan the most was the Golden Armor Talisman, this kind of pure defensive talisman, although it could not be compared with magic weapons, but at least it was Chen Yuan's most effective defensive means now.
A top-grade golden armor talisman can at least be compared to a medium-grade defensive magic weapon.
In order to make his future cultivation smoother, Chen Yuan drew more than 300 high-grade gold armor talismans at one time.
Refining pills has never been what Chen Yuan is best at, and it is only because of the existence of Yin Yang Ding that his pills cannot be used up. But because of the scarcity of medicinal materials, there was not much left of the pill in Chen Yuan's hand.
Fortunately, before the retreat, he obtained a lot of medicinal materials, which could temporarily refine some pills, and the Purple Heart Condensing Spirit Flower was an important material for refining the Soul Rejuvenation Pill, and it was also suitable for refining a pill called Xiao Returning Pill.
In order to make his cultivation smoother in the future, Chen Yuan took half of the Purple Heart Condensing Spirit Flower, refined about 100 Little Returning Pills, and upgraded all of them to five stars.
Ritual weapons, talismans, and elixirs are the most important things for monks. After solving these problems, Chen Yuan tried to upgrade the Black Ape Rune Puppet, but even if he upgraded the Soul Attraction Talisman to the extreme, he could not make the Black Ape Rune Puppet's strength increase.
"If you can meet Brother Jin again, you must ask him about the method of promoting the puppet."
Time flies, and by the time Chen Yuan's retreat is over, ten years have passed. When he reappeared in the Sun Moon Gate Ancestral Cave Mansion, the outside world had already undergone earth-shaking changes.
The original grassland is no longer there, and it has become a barren land as far as the eye can see. The original beast tide is gone.
Even the golden circle of light on the high mountain has disappeared, leaving only a bare mountain, without charm and mystery.
Chen Yuan had no intention of exploring the high mountains, he had stayed here long enough. Ten years may seem like a short time, but it can already make a child reach adulthood.
After patting the dust on his body, Chen Yuan took another look at the cave mansion that was not what it used to be, and then left the cave mansion that he remembered deeply.
