Volume 1 Woe to the Spiritual Root Pill Chapter 004 About the Spiritual Root
My father even asked me how many steps I had reached in forging!
This made Li Kun quite surprised, because his father actually knew his cultivation situation better than him, how could he ask so much?
However, Li Kun soon understood that since his father asked so, it must be reasonable, and there was no need for him to slander him.
"Just broke through the tenth order. β
Li Kun replied cautiously, but his face couldn't help but be full of pride.
Li Kun's conceit naturally couldn't escape his father's eyes.
Li Qingshan's face sank and said, "Are you very satisfied with this? This is just the beginning." β
Li Kun couldn't help but ask, "Father, isn't the highest forging body at the tenth order?"
Li Qingshan snorted coldly and said, "Cultivation is endless, you are only in the foundation building period now, and forging your body is just the initial stage of foundation building. The system of cultivating immortals is extremely complex, and our Cloud Gate Sect is the most authentic sect of cultivating immortals, and the cultivation is step-by-step, step by step. Therefore, my father has not systematically explained the cultivation system to you. I'm afraid that if you know too much, your mind will be scattered, which will not help you lay a good foundation. β
Could it be that my father is going to explain the cultivation system to me in detail today?
Li Kun was greatly moved, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at his father expectantly.
Li Kun naturally understood his son's careful thoughts, and his face couldn't help showing a rare kind attitude, and said: "My father is going back to the sect tomorrow, and I can't tell you too much today." But because you have now reached the tenth level of body forging, the next step is enlightenment. This is very important to you, so as a father, I have to tell you about the next cultivation lessons. β
"What is Enlightenment?"
Li Kun couldn't help but ask excitedly.
Li Qingshan is quite patient with his son today, if his son was so unstable in the past, he would definitely reprimand.
Li Qingshan said patiently: "Enlightening the spirit is to open the spiritual root. Don't interrupt and listen to what the Father has to say to you. β
Li Kun didn't say anything more, and listened quietly with excitement.
I heard Li Qingshan say eloquently: "Although the immortal cultivation system is huge, it is divided into major stages, but there are only two stages, one is 'mortal cultivation' and the other is 'divine cultivation'. And the demarcation between the two is 'ascension'. Spiritual cultivation is too far away for you at this time, so you don't need to talk about it. The cultivation before the ascension is essentially ordinary cultivation. As the name suggests, it is the cultivation of mortals, and the cultivation is the ontology. β
"There are many stages of mortal cultivation, and different cultivation sects have different methods of division, but in general, the essence is almost the same. As far as our Cloud Gate Sect is concerned, it is divided into these stagesβfoundation building, enlightenment, golden pill, primordial infant, out-of-body, distraction, merger, void, and finally ascension. Ascension is a tribulation, and if you succeed, you will enter the realm of divine cultivation and become a true immortal. If the tribulation fails, everything will be lost. Some demonic Dao people were afraid to take the risk of failing to ascend, and their cultivation stopped when they reached the void stage, but this was enough to make him run rampant in the mortal realm. β
"Many systems don't treat enlightenment as a separate stage, but because it's so important, it determines the direction of future practice. Therefore, the Cloud Gate Sect uses it as a separate stage to cultivate. The Cloud Gate Sect also attaches great importance to the enlightenment of its disciples. For inner room disciples, they must become enlightened under the supervision of a real person. Once you have attained enlightenment and attained the best understanding, you will receive the best resources for cultivation, and naturally you will have a great future. This is also the reason why the father must help you to become a disciple of the inner room. β
"In the stage after enlightenment, because of the relationship of time, the Father will tell you slowly in the future, and at this time, first tell you what is closely related to you. β
Li Kun was deeply attracted by his father's explanation, and he was even more yearning for the legendary divine cultivation, listening to his father to say important things related to him, he was a little busy, but he didn't speak, for fear of interrupting his father.
Li Qingshan continued: "For the foundation building period, forging the body is of course important, but it is the Qiling that really determines whether or not you can enter the path of cultivating immortals. So, enlightenment is the key. It plays a role in connecting the previous and the next in the first two stages of cultivating immortals, which is also the reason why our Cloud Gate Sect classifies it into the foundation building period. Because the failure of the enlightenment spirit means that the road to cultivating immortals is broken, and from then on, there will be no chance to cultivate immortals, so naturally it will not be able to enter the next stage. β
It turns out that "Enlightenment" is so important! In this way, he has worked so hard to reach the tenth level of body forging, but he has not yet entered the path of cultivating immortals? Even the way he will be able to enter the path of cultivation in the future is still unknown. This has a great impact on Li Kun.
For this reason, unconsciously, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Li Kun's forehead.
Li Kun swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and asked in a trembling voice, "Then what is this Qiling going to do?"
Li Qingshan looked at his son with loving eyes, and said comfortingly: "The spiritual root is actually a talent, it is not obtained by cultivation, but by innateness. β
Is the spiritual root innate?
This was another huge shock to Li Kun, and he hurriedly said, "In this way, whether a person can cultivate an immortal has been predestined a long time ago?"
Li Qingshan shook his head and said, "Not really. Spiritual roots are indeed innate, everyone has spiritual roots, and everyone's spiritual roots are different, and the quality is also very different. However, the spiritual root was originally hidden and needed to be opened to be revealed, otherwise, it would be useless. Therefore, if you want to truly enter the path of cultivating immortals, you must enlighten the spirit and activate the hidden spiritual root in your body. β
"And this enlightenment is the activation of the spiritual root. What you are about to face now is the Enlightenment. β
Li Kun's voice stammered a little because of nervousness, and he said in a trembling voice: "Then, what if, me, what if the spirit of enlightenment fails?"
Li Qingshan naturally saw his son's uneasiness, and in order to dilute his son's uneasiness, he smiled faintly and said: "Enlightenment is indeed important, once it fails, it will damage the spiritual root, reduce the quality of the spiritual root, and some will even completely destroy the spiritual root." However, you can rest assured that as long as you follow the cultivation methods taught by your father, you will not fail. β
Hearing his father say this, Li Kun finally felt a little relieved, but then another worry came, and he hurriedly asked: "Since the spiritual root is innate, even if the spiritual spirit will not fail, what if the quality of my spiritual root is not good?"
Li Qingshan said: "This is indeed unknown, all we can do now is to protect your spiritual root from damage when it is opened, so that it will not lose its quality as a result." β
In this case, it is still unknown!
Li Kun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and suddenly felt his throat dry, which was quite uncomfortable.
Li Qingshan suddenly said loudly: "Kun'er, don't worry, my son of Li Qingshan, how can the spiritual root be bad?"
Could it be that this spiritual root is still related to heredity? If this is the case, then there really is no need to worry, who is his father? That is the main disciple of the Cloud Gate Sect, and if he can reach this position, his spiritual root is naturally excellent.
When Li Kun thought of this, he suddenly felt a little better in his heart, and looked at his father with more and more gratitude and admiration. At this moment, he felt that his father was getting taller, even though his figure was actually very thin.
