Heart Holy Continent, southeast of Lingzhou, Yangcheng.

The Heart Saint Continent is divided into nine domains, each of which is divided into eight to twenty-four states, Lingzhou is just one of the eighteen states under the jurisdiction of the East Xuan Domain, one of the nine domains, and Yangcheng is one of the one hundred and eight important cities under the jurisdiction of Lingzhou.

But even so, the entire Yangcheng still has a flow of more than millions of people, developed commerce, prosperous industries, and a prosperous market, and is a political, economic, cultural, and military center within a radius of thousands of miles nearby.

There are four major families in Yangcheng, Xiao Wang Bai Li, these four families control more than ninety percent of the business transactions in Yangcheng, but all shops, wine shops, inns, money houses, weapon shops, and medicine shops are basically divided by them, so they have been inherited for hundreds of years and their prestige has not fallen.

In the southeast of Yangcheng, one of the four major families, the Xiao family's partial courtyard.

It's almost winter, the night is deep, the cold wind blows from the distant snow desert, with a chill that penetrates people's hearts, most of the people have turned off the lights and slept to resist this cold cold.

But in a very simple, ordinary wooden house in this side courtyard, there is still a lamp like a bean. The people in the house didn't seem to be afraid of the cold of this autumn night, and still didn't fall asleep, but seemed to be cultivating very hard.

It was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy with thin clothes and faint gray traces.

His face was cold, but he had a pair of good-looking eyebrows, slightly raised, with a hint of arrogance and rebelliousness, as well as a hint of faint sorrow and despair.

Under the candlelight, he sat cross-legged on a simple bed made of only a few wooden planks, his hands flat on his knees, in a simple five-hearted posture.

It was such a cold autumn night, but the young man's face seemed to be tested by the hot coals, and became as red as fire jade, and the beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his cheeks one after another, obviously experiencing unbearable pain for ordinary people, but he gritted his teeth and held back and refused to give up.

However, it didn't take long for him to lower his palms and open his eyes, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Hey, failed again. This first level of mental cultivation is so difficult to enter the state of concentration. I don't know how to achieve the realm of leisure, Qiwu and so on? In my Xiao Mo's life, I'm afraid there is no hope......

This cloth-clothed young man is Xiao Mo.

He is one of the three generations of disciples of the Xiao family, his parents died early, he has no brother or brother, leaving him alone and no one to take care of him. In addition, when he was seven years old, he was detected to have only half of his body, so he has never been valued by the family and left to fend for himself.

However, Xiao Mo was not reconciled, and was still working hard to cultivate, but his physical qualifications were too poor, and his half-knowing body was almost equivalent to a wasted person with no cultivation qualifications.

If someone else cultivates for a day, he needs to cultivate for half a month, and if someone cultivates for a year, he needs to spend more than fifteen years catching up. I can't see any gap in the short term, and after a long time, the gap is simply a world of difference.

This made him work hard for seven years before he barely reached the fourth level of the Concentration Realm, and many people of his age had already reached the eighth layer of the Concentration Realm, or even the ninth layer of the Concentration Realm, approaching the limit of this realm and entering the Great Perfection.

And the Xiao family's generation has two top geniuses, who are dazzling and unmatched.

These two people, one is Xiao Shenjian, the elder of the long house, at the age of only sixteen, he broke the limit of entering the fixed realm, and was promoted to the first level of the free realm, and he was one of the four young masters of Yangcheng.

The other person is a woman, who has a side branch like Xiao Mo, named Xiao Mingyu.

But she was very intelligent, and when she was seven years old, she was found to have the heart of the four knots, and she entered the door of the great elder of the Xiao family. Now that he is only thirteen years old, he has reached the Great Perfection of Entering the Realm, and it is just around the corner to break through the bottleneck and be promoted.

The Escape Realm is the strength of the four major families of Yangcheng, and only when it reaches this level can it be regarded as truly powerful. Entering the regular period is just the path of foundation for those who cultivate the mind.

But even so, for others to simply enter the fixed realm, for Xiao Mo, who only has half-knowing qualifications, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

......

"I still don't believe it, I'm a soul from the earth, and my knowledge and experience are more extensive and bizarre than most people in this world, and I can't even break through the first level of cultivation in this world. ”

After sitting quietly for a long time, suddenly, Xiao Mo once again looked upright, straightened his body again, closed his eyes, and practiced his skills.

No one knows, in fact, this Xiao Mo is no longer Xiao Mo.

As early as three years ago, the original owner of this body was killed on the spot because of a hunting in the mountains, mistakenly fell into a trap of a hunter, and was occupied by a soul from the earth.

And that soul is the soul in Xiao Mo's body now.

He was born in a family of scholars, and because of his family's disharmony since he was a child, he developed a withdrawn and introverted personality and was unwilling to communicate with others. His only hobby is to read all kinds of cultural relics and ancient books collected by his father, and he can't extricate himself from the long river of history.

Friends and family scolded him for not eating the past, and then he gradually broke off contact.

During a power outage, he went to check the switch in the dark, and accidentally, he was electrocuted, and he came to this world, entered Xiao Mo's body, and replaced his identity.

Fortunately, Xiao Mo here has no relatives and friends, and with poor qualifications, no one wants to associate with him at all, he lives alone in such a simple wooden house, but no one will find out about his abnormality.

However, after coming here, Xiao Mo was shocked to find that this was a world completely different from the original earth.

Here, it used to be a world where martial arts flourished and Taoism was rampant, and everyone in the world was distinguished by studying martial arts and practicing Taoism.

There are thousands of sects, and there are many masters, and they are thriving.

It was only later, inexplicably, that the vitality of heaven and earth began to collapse, the cornerstone of the world's martial arts cultivation was cut off, and the cultivation of martial arts and Taoism reached the end of the world at the same time.

Some top-level powers, unwilling to let the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi collapse, and the path of human cultivation came to an end, so they each used their great mana to intercept a small piece of Heaven and Earth, and preserved the remnants of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, forming a Cave Heaven and Earth Blessed Land.

However, those caves and blessed lands are all controlled by those super sects, and since then, they have been in seclusion, basically not accepting disciples from the outside world, just to ensure that their own lineage can be passed on.

The world of martial arts cultivation and Taoism is gone.

More monks have since become mortals, no longer able to be powerless, and have become the same existence as ordinary people.

Those who originally controlled the power suddenly found that their power was disappearing and degrading, and they suddenly fell into panic and uneasiness, and they could only continue to wage war after war to vent their inner anger and fear.

However, the war led to death, and these cultivators were either killed in battle or reduced to an ordinary person from then on, and the mainland monks were almost cut off.

After a long period of confusion and exploration, thousands of years later, Yan Wangu, a strange person in the world, retreated in the dragon field for decades, once enlightened, and proposed that there is nothing outside the heart, all power, when obtained from one's own heart, does not necessarily have to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to cultivate, thus creating a first-class heart saint.

And the strange Yan Wangu is also respected by later generations as the heart saint.

The Heart Sage calls the power cultivated from the original heart world the heart element, and the place where the heart element power is generated is called the primordial source.

In every human body, since the beginning of birth, there is a first-born source, endless, unless life comes to the end, it will wither, but the world does not know, until the heart is enlightened, only to truly discover its incomparable power.

After the Heart Sage realized the Dao, because the cultivation system and methods were completely different from the original, and the original realm division was no longer applicable to mainland monks, the Heart Sage re-divided the new cultivation realm, which was divided into nine levels in total.

The first step is to be free, the second step is to be full of things, the third step is to maintain health, the fourth step is the world, the fifth step is Fude, the sixth step is the grandmaster, the seventh step is the emperor, and the eighth step is the heavenly ...... Until the ninth step of sanctification, that is, the highest state that the heart saint has ever reached.

After the Heart Sage, for more than 4,500 years, no one was canonized, and at most he could only reach the Heavenly Dao Realm and become a quasi-saint.

As for entering the state of concentration, it is just a basic condition that must be met in order to step into the door of mental cultivation, so it cannot be called the first state of mental cultivation. If you can't settle down, you won't be able to cultivate the mind element.

This is also the reason why everyone in the world knows that if you don't get away with it, you will end up as ants, and those who have no way to enter the country will not get the slightest attention and have an embarrassing status.

The nine realms of mind cultivation, each of which is closely related to one's own state of mind cultivation.

Legend has it that powerful cultivators can even control the surrounding flowers and trees, and even the sun, moon and stars in the sky with their own minds. A thought gives birth to flowers and blooms, and the plants and trees wither and flourish, and a thought extinguishes the stars, and the heavens and the earth are silent. I have truly reached the level that there is nothing outside my mind, and my mind is the world, and I have all kinds of incredible powers.

With the passage of time, Xinxue finally completely ruled the entire continent and became a manifest school, and the name of the continent was immediately changed to the Heart Holy Continent.

Xiao Mo was greatly surprised by this discovery, because he found that this seemed to have a lot in common with the Confucian mind he had been studying, but it was slightly different.

On Earth, the study of mind is only a school of thought, a foundational idea that has been passed down to improve a person's behavior. But here, the power of mind has been exerted to the extreme, the upper can change the heavens and the earth, move the stars and move the moon, the lower can increase longevity, enlighten wisdom, and even open supernatural powers, creating a world of its own.

However, in addition to the excitement, when Xiao Mo found out that he was just a half-known waste, he couldn't help but be depressed for a long time.

After thousands of years of exploration, people gradually discovered that the human body's mind will be an important prerequisite for deciding where to finally cultivate.

The mind is born and cannot be changed.

The heart of ordinary people has no heart, and if there is no heart, they cannot cultivate, so they can only be mortal bodies, ordinary people, and become commoners for the rest of their lives.

And the heart of a knack can set foot in the door of cultivation, but a knack is only the minimum qualification, the future is bleak, and at most in a lifetime, you can set foot in the free realm, and you don't even think about the realm of things.

Only with the qualifications of the second or even the third or more can it be possible to cultivate to the realm of Qi and other things, and it is also possible to be valued by the family and vigorously cultivated.

Like the two genius disciples of the Xiao family's generation, Xiao Shenjian and Xiao Mingyu, they are both highly valued by the family because they are four-trick qualifications, and they are also top-level qualifications that are rare in a hundred years in this Yang City.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that their cultivation speed is so fast.

First, it was because their physical talents were indeed beyond ordinary people, and their cultivation speed was faster than ordinary people's, and second, it was also because their family had poured a lot of resources into their cultivation, believing that they would definitely be able to break through Qi Wu in the future, and even have a good chance of stepping into a higher health realm.

The realm of Qi things is currently the top realm in Yangcheng, and the health realm can only be seen when you go out of Yangcheng and enter the more vast Lingzhou.

Therefore, it is rare for two such talented disciples to appear, and it is normal for the Xiao family to attach importance to them, because they are the hope of the Xiao family.

And like Xiao Mo, who only has half a knack, at most he is a little stronger than ordinary people, and he is not even as good as a person with a knack of inferior qualifications, so he is naturally not valued by the family, and no one pays attention to his growth.

It's just that for Xiao Mo, he can't give up on himself and is willing to fall.

Therefore, even if he knew that he was only a half-known waste, he practiced diligently every day, hoping to step into the Great Perfection as soon as possible, so as to find an opportunity to break through the Freedom Realm.

Because of the family regulations, only when you set foot in the free realm can you apply for the family resource subsidy.

Otherwise, the monks who have entered the fixed realm can only be distributed by the family on their own initiative, and basically only to those family disciples with excellent talents, but they cannot apply for it themselves.

This is the world, for the strength of talent has long formed a conventional, but ruthless rules, the capable can not go down, no one can change.
