Chapter 21 The Strength and Inheritance of the Five Immortal Gates
"This is not actually because our five major sects are difficult to find, but because our major sects have been inheriting this matter since the ancient flood period, and it is a headache to inherit it. The gray-shirted old man said to Li Yan with a wry smile.
After Li Yan heard this, he thought for a while and said, "Miscellaneous Spirit Root, Xuan Spirit Root, Earth Spirit Root, Heavenly Spirit Root, Holy Spirit Root, and Alien Spirit Root. ”
The gray-shirted old man nodded and said, "Yes, it's these kinds, but these are just for other sects, and the ancestors of our five sects created these five ancient sects respectively, and the people who are required to be able to learn these immortal methods are different from other sects, which is also the reason why our exercises are powerful." ”
Hearing this, Li Yan nodded, although he was young, he still understood this truth, there is no such thing as pie in the sky, and good things must have their fundamental needs, but he didn't say much, just waited for the old man to follow.
The old man glanced at him and continued, "You should be able to guess from the names of these five sects that our five sects are the most sensitive attributes among the five elements. ”
Li Yan nodded, this is not difficult to guess, and said, "Like the Yimu Immortal Gate, it must be that the immortal method is created for the wood attribute elements, so the cultivation of people with good quality of sensing wood spirit gas is; ”
The old man sighed and said, "You only guessed a part of it correctly, the immortal method cultivated by our five sects is certainly also corresponding to the strongest attribute of the five elements that we sense, but unlike all the other sects, we don't need the Holy Spirit Root, but we need one person to have all the attributes of the five elements at the same time to cultivate." ”
Speaking of this, the old man paused and looked at Li Yan, but saw that Li Yan only had a blank expression, but he didn't ask, just frowned and thought, as if he was thinking about what he had just said. I couldn't help but praise in my heart: "This son is stable and thoughtful." ”
Li Yan was thinking about the meaning of the old man's words, what the old man said meant was that their five ancient sects needed people who could sense the basic five elements between heaven and earth at the same time, but this kind of physique should be the most despised miscellaneous spiritual root in the immortal cultivation world, not to mention why they need the miscellaneous spiritual root that other sects don't want, this should be related to the immortal cultivation of the five immortal sects, but this should not be difficult to find, according to the old man's previous description, although the population of the immortal world is small, but there should still be a chance to find it, not to mention that there are later immortal cultivators from the immortal world who came to the mortal world to establish a heritage, which increases the probability of finding, but why did the old man say that inheritance was the most headache for their five sects.
"This is the biggest secret of our five ancient sects, although we need a person with a miscellaneous spirit root physique, but this is not an ordinary miscellaneous spirit root, of course, the miscellaneous spirit root is the body of gold, wood, water, fire, earth The five elements are sensitive, we not only need this person to have these five element attributes, but also these five element attributes must be arranged according to the law of mutual growth, the law of the five elements is 'water gives birth to wood, wood gives birth to fire, fire gives birth to earth, earth gives birth to gold, and gold gives birth to water...... In this way, the cycle of life and life is endless', then the attributes of the five elements in the cultivator's body must also be arranged according to the strength and weakness of the five elements, such as 'Xin Jin Xianmen' They are mainly 'gold', then the arrangement of the five elements in the cultivator's body must be 'gold, water, wood, fire, earth', the strongest sense of heaven and earth aura should be 'gold', followed by 'water', and then 'wood, fire, earth', if the latter is stronger than the previous one, then you can't practice the immortal method of 'Xin Jin Xianmen'; The Immortal Gate feels that the order of heaven and earth aura is 'water, wood, fire, earth, and metal', and the strength is also decreasing in order, so that you can cultivate the immortal method of this sect. ”
After listening to these words, Li Yan already knew the meaning of what he said from the words of the gray-shirted old man, ordinary immortal cultivators in this mortal world alone, one person in 100,000 people may be found, no matter what kind of spiritual root it is, this is considered extremely low, and if in this extremely low probability of people, and then screen out the miscellaneous spiritual root, it is unknown whether one person can be found among the millions of people, and in the end, it is precisely in this person who is almost a big wave of sand, and then find out the symbiotic physique formed by the method of mutual growth of the five elements, this probability ...... It goes without saying.
This kind of arithmetic, he has also learned it simply, according to this order, it is also the will of heaven to find someone who can find one of the billions of people, thinking that even the fairy world will not be so good, I really don't know how they passed it on.
The old man looked at Li Yan's already known expression, sighed and said, "Therefore, each generation of our five sects has to work hard to find the next generation of inheritors, and each generation is basically a single transmission or a few people. On the one hand, we have to cultivate the Great Dao, and the time spent on cultivation is relatively small at the beginning, but in the end, it is all measured in ten or hundred years, and a retreat in normal times may be tens or hundreds of years, which is just a flick of our fingers for us.
Therefore, in addition to the cultivation time, the time to go out to find a suitable inheritance person can only be concentrated for a certain period of time, just like that, we go out intermittently, and in the eyes of the world, there is naturally little contact, as for why not open the immortal gate to recruit disciples, this method has been used since ancient times, and it has little effect, and it is not as fast as scanning low-level immortal cultivators with our divine sense after we go out, so this special miscellaneous spirit root physique is a problem that we are difficult to solve."
When Li Yan heard this, his expression couldn't help but froze, as if he remembered something, but the old man noticed his expression at a glance, as if he knew what he had in mind, and smiled at him, "What kind of teacher are you, it's not from my sect, the cultivation of the 'Wood Shadow Sect' he said also needs a special physique or something, in fact, he just wants to conceal and find someone with spiritual roots, so that others think that it is just a special condition for recruiting disciples of the Hidden World Jianghu Sect." ”
Li Yan was silent, he had already begun to wonder about his teacher, if he said that before accepting himself as an apprentice, in order to hide the spiritual root in front of the world, these can still be said in the past, after all, immortal cultivators are too shocking for ordinary mortals, but since he has already entered his disciple, it can be said that he has ulterior motives if he continues to conceal it.
The old man knew what Li Yan was thinking at the moment, and said to him with a sigh, "Although the mana of this Ji Junshi is not worth mentioning in the eyes of most immortal cultivators, this person is really a hero, and we will talk about him later." ”
Li Yan nodded, knowing that the old man had other things to say.
"Our five sects rarely show up in front of the world, one is that there are few people, unlike other immortal sects, as long as people with spiritual roots can basically be recruited; 。
The five sects are so difficult to find, with the changes of the sea, it will naturally begin to slowly decline, and in my period, our five sects began to come out one after another from the late stage of the transformation of the gods to find the people of the inheritance sect, fortunately, the immortal law we cultivate is strong, and it is difficult for other sects in the same realm to meet opponents, killing them is like killing chickens and dogs, even if it is against three or five people in the same realm at the same time, it is also possible to win, even if it is more than our enemy in a big realm, it is not impossible to kill him. Speaking of this, the gray-shirted old man showed a haughty look on his face, and there was a domineering presence on his sluggish face, which showed his pride in the immortal method he had cultivated.
"The reason why I consider going out to find people who inherit in the period of transformation is of course forced to do so, and disciples are hard to find; In this case, when we cultivate to the late stage of distraction and come out to find the inheritance, we can be regarded as worthy of self-preservation, but at this time, we will not show ourselves as a sect, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and those unaware immortal cultivators covet the immortal method of our five factions It is not a day or two, which is also the reason why the outside world has only seen our five factions only merge, cross the tribulation, and even the masters of the Mahayana period. But even so, it is extremely difficult to find the inheritor, and sometimes you have to cross the vast regional continent, or even cross the interface of the two realms to find the doorman, and because of this, it is also very possible to encounter more powerful enemies and spatial turbulence, so some masters of the five factions who went out to find the inheritor have never come back as soon as they left, and may have fallen outside, and our five sects are becoming more and more zero. Speaking of this, the old man's voice was a little low, and he slowly looked up at the sky, looking lonely, as if he had a sense of reminiscence.
Li Yan didn't dare to disturb, but after a while, the old man retracted his gaze, glanced at Li Yan, and continued, "I was the only one left in my dehydration line two million years ago, and there was no news from the other four factions at that time. The old man showed a trace of sadness and nostalgia on his face, and his heart had thoughts and memories welling up in his heart, although there were disputes between the five factions from time to time, but they had been dependent on each other since ancient times, with the same qi and branches, cultivating together, walking the rivers and lakes together, the past was like smoke, and the long years had come all the way, and now he woke up, everything was just a rest, like a dream.
Li Yan heard the words "two million years ago", and his calm face showed an expression of disbelief, can people live for millions of years in this world? What a fantasy this is, but when he said it in front of him, he somehow already had a feeling of believing, and this thought surged in his heart, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
The gray-shirted old man paused for a while, shook his head slightly, as if he wanted to reminisce about the memories in his mind, and then raised his eyes to see Li Yan, and his heart was already a little relieved.
"More than two million years ago, I retreated for a hundred years, and after I got out of the customs, the remaining four sects had already gone to the empty building, and the grass was everywhere, only the Ning Ke Fairy of Yimu Immortal Gate left a jade slip, telling me that she had reached the realm of practicing void after leaving the customs, and had waited here for seventy years, and the other three sects had no news. The gray-shirted old man's expression darkened, but at this time, his figure was a little blurry compared to just now, and his facial expression began to be a little unclear, but Li Yan didn't notice it.
Li Yan opened his mouth when he heard this, and seemed to feel that it was inappropriate to interrupt the old man's narration at this moment. But what kind of man the old man was, he stopped telling and asked, "Is there anything you don't understand?"
Li Yan said, "What is Jade Jane?"
When the old man heard this, he laughed at himself, "Hehe, I forgot that you don't know anything about the immortal cultivation world." "The people he came into contact with before, like these basic knowledge of cultivating immortals, no one knows, but Li Yan is an out-and-out rookie.
"Then let me tell you briefly, the jade slip is like a book among your mortals, it is a special jade material, it is difficult to damage, unlike paper books, the words, images and sounds inside can only be carved and written by the immortal cultivator with divine consciousness, so to speak, as long as the jade slip is not damaged, it can be kept permanently, unlike paper, it is not easy to keep. Oh, yes, there is also divine consciousness, divine consciousness is actually spiritual power, thoughts, but immortal cultivators have cultivated their spiritual power to the point where they have a certain amount of substantial power through cultivation; your current spiritual power has also cultivated to the initial stage of having divine consciousness, but it is too weak to form a substance, let alone put it outside the body; generally, the third layer of the condensation period will produce divine consciousness, but the coverage is smaller, about a few zhang. At that time, it can be placed outside the body, and it can be used to depict words, images, or sounds in jade tablets; Ears to see and listen to the world, the stronger the divine sense, the wider the range of what you see and hear, oh, by the way, that Ji Junshi is the third layer of condensation, he can already release his divine consciousness out of the body, although it is only a few zhang or so, but he can already see you without his eyes, listen to you carefully without his ears, and he can also scan what you are doing and what you are saying through his divine sense within a certain range, even clearer than seeing with his eyes, and hearing with his ears. Speaking of this, the old man looked at Li Yan with a smile.
