Volume 1 Beicang's First Acquaintance with the World Chapter 32 When Cultivation Encounters a Bottleneck, Divine Thoughts Have Miraculous Skills
Since the revival of the practice, Jiuhua Academy has played a low-key role. This time, the Jiuhua Mountain Gate was inexplicably divided into nine, and it suddenly raised its profile, which naturally caused an uproar in the cultivation world.
In view of the fact that many hidden sects have also appeared in the past few years, Jiuhua Academy's actions do not seem to be so maverick. It's just that this is the first sect in the Beicang Continent, and no matter how small his actions are, they are particularly eye-catching.
Yulian Peak, where the original mountain gate of Jiuhua Academy is located, was divided into ten after this battle. The surrounding peaks are all temporarily named, but the smaller peaks in the middle continue to bear the name of the peak of Yulian Peak, Lingxian Peak.
Lingxian Peak has been passed down from Jiuhua Academy to the present day. Among the nine peaks, there are now monks from the Yuefan Realm stationed, but there are no more than two per peak, and this Lingxian Peak is where the remaining monks of the Yuefan Realm of the sect stand.
It can be said that this Lingxian Peak is the true foundation of the sect, and all the top monks of the sect are concentrated here. Because of this, this Spirit Immortal Peak is the true source of the entire sect. Above the Spirit Immortal Peak, it was like a microcosm of the entire sect.
Formations, talismans, pills, exercises, etc., all the resources of the sect are the best here. Even the concentration of spiritual energy on the Spirit Immortal Peak far exceeded that of the Nine Peaks.
After the opening of Jiuhua Academy, the rules of the sect also changed. Sect contributions have become very important in the sect, and in terms of the exercises and skill inheritances that are most closely related to practice, these need to be exchanged using sect contributions. As for the other corresponding rules, there are also obvious changes.
The opening of the academy made the entire sect lively for about a month, and then it returned to its former tranquility. It was only at this time that Xu Chenglin calmed down to hit the bottleneck of the ninth layer of the calcined body.
The appearance of spiritual bottlenecks varies from person to person, some people will experience bottlenecks, and some people will not experience bottlenecks. However, under normal circumstances, the cultivation of the exercises will encounter a bottleneck period when they reach a certain point.
Encountering a bottleneck period is undoubtedly the most annoying and helpless. The bottleneck period is long and short, and it also varies from person to person. The length can range from decades to months and years. During the bottleneck period, no matter how hard you try to cultivate, you won't get the slightest progress.
Only by breaking through the bottleneck period can we move to a higher level. In fact, the bottleneck period is also an omen, indicating that the foundation has reached the most solid point, and it is only one step away.
This bottleneck is a threshold, and stepping past it is another world. There are many ways to break through bottlenecks, such as body and mind and bottlenecks, practicing more advanced exercises can also help to break through bottlenecks, taking pills that break through bottlenecks can also achieve the goal, and monk empowerment and transmission is also a way, as well as strengthening the body, increasing the strength of the divine consciousness, and so on.
As early as two years ago, Xu Chenglin's cultivation had reached the peak of the eighth layer of the Tempered Body. However, after reaching the peak of the eighth layer of the calcined body, Xu Chenglin could no longer enter.
Xu Chenglin knew that he had encountered a bottleneck. Relying on external forces to break through the bottleneck, this method has the fastest effect, and the most people use this method. However, it is difficult to break through the bottleneck with the help of external forces, and it is difficult to give full play to its potential. The next time you break through the bottleneck, it will be even more difficult because of the lack of potential.
The bottleneck of the calcination period must rely on external forces, and how to break through the bottleneck of the condensation period, not to mention the bottleneck of the Yuefan Realm in the future. Xu Chenglin has never been satisfied with stopping at the Qi Condensation Realm or the Leaping Mortal Realm, what he wants to pursue is a higher realm, so his current cultivation must also be considered for the future.
Relying on body and mind and breaking through bottlenecks, Xu Chenglin has had an experience. Although he knew that it was difficult to deliberately seek harmony between body and mind, Xu Chenglin still gave it a try.
The reality is really cruel, Xu Chenglin has not succeeded in achieving physical and mental harmony in the past two years, and the bottleneck has naturally not been broken. If one plan fails, two plans are born, and the body and mind cannot be reconciled, Xu Chenglin started the idea of practicing the Fa and improving his divine consciousness again.
Advanced exercises, Xu Chenglin basically gave up. Although the righteous qi song practiced during the tempering period is not the best exercise, it is the best way to lay the foundation. As for the way to improve his divine sense, Xu Chenglin has some methods.
The reason why he thought of improving the strength of his divine consciousness was because he happened to have this cultivation method of the Divine Mind Sword in his hand. Although the Divine Mind Sword is a method of divine consciousness attack, it also has the effect of increasing divine consciousness.
It was precisely because of this effect that he decided to practice this exercise. This exercise was obtained from the hands of the Xu family in Yuanhai City, but this exercise did not come from the Xu family's inheritance.
According to the records in the jade slip, this exercise is a top-level inheritance technique called the Heavenly Saint Sect. The Heavenly Saint Sect majored in cultivating divine consciousness and dominated the cultivation world with the strength of divine consciousness. However, the big waves wash the sand, and the world changes. On this day, the Holy Sect rose and fell in this cultivation world, and finally disappeared into the dust. The sect of the Heavenly Saint Sect, Xu Chenglin had never heard of. During the period of the catastrophe, many sects disappeared into history. There are many of these sects, some large and some small, and it is difficult to record them all in history, and this Heavenly Holy Sect may be one of them.
Shen Nian Sword, in the name of the sword, to transform the virtual into the real, with the Divine Mind into the sword. This divine thought into a sword is just a metaphor for an image, describing that divine thoughts can be as flexible and sharp as a sword. In the real battle, if you really use the divine sword to attack again, it is estimated that the daylily will be cold.
This exercise consists of four parts, the Divine Consciousness Cultivation Method, the Divine Consciousness Cultivation Method, the Divine Consciousness Control Method, and the Divine Consciousness Attack Method. The description is simple, but when it comes to detail, it is extremely complex.
The top-level exercises are the crystallization of the wisdom of the predecessors, which can be explained in a few words. The reason why the top-level exercises are top-notch must have their own uniqueness.
Generally speaking, there are certain restrictions on the cultivation of all powerful exercises. The biggest advantage of this exercise is that there is no restriction on cultivation. Among the top exercises, it is also quite rare.
There are advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantage of this Divine Mind Sword is that it is difficult to enter cultivation, and it requires a certain foundation of divine consciousness. The power of the Divine Mind Sword depends on the strength of the caster's Divine Thought, and the stronger the Divine Thought, the greater the power of the Divine Mind Sword.
Although there are no realm requirements for the exercises, it is clearly pointed out in the jade slips that the stronger the divine sense, the faster the cultivation of this exercise, the faster the entry, and the higher the cultivation realm, the faster the cultivation speed.
The introduction to the exercises is slow, but it is not difficult to practice just one of them. Xu Chenglin's purpose in cultivating the Divine Mind Sword was to strengthen his divine sense, and he was not in a hurry to learn some of the subsequent methods of cultivating, controlling, and attacking the Divine Thoughts.
At this stage, he didn't pursue the power of the Divine Mind Sword, he just wanted to use it to improve the strength of his divine sense.
Ancient legends have it that there are cultivators who can use their divine consciousness to attract the energy of heaven and earth, claiming to be able to lead the common people with a thought and a thought of mountains and rivers. The main means of this cultivator is divine consciousness, and it is conceivable that the power of this divine consciousness cannot be underestimated.
Ancient cultivators not only cultivated their divine senses, but also cultivated their bodies. They believe that the divine consciousness is within the body, and that the physical strength is not strong enough to contain their own divine consciousness.
There are countless cultivators, but there are not many truly strong people, and the reason for this is that it is difficult to improve the divine consciousness. After the era of cultivating gods, monks followed the path of absorbing the aura of heaven and earth and transforming themselves, that is, the cultivation system of later generations.
The cultivation system of later generations rarely touches on the cultivation of divine consciousness. The improvement of the divine consciousness is of great benefit to the breakthrough of the bottleneck of cultivation, which was discovered by the monks later in the course of continuous cultivation, so they began to pick up the cultivation method of the divine consciousness again.
There are five qi in the gods, the gods are long, the heart is abandoned, and the virtue is great; The Taoist, the beginning of heaven and earth, is also a discipline. The creation of things, the birth of heaven, Bao Hong is invisible, and the gas is congenitally formed, and it is not known its shape, and it is called a god. Therefore, the Taoist, the source of the gods, is the end of its transformation, which is to cultivate the five qi with virtue, and the heart can obtain one, which is its technique. The power of divine consciousness is the power of oneself. Foreign objects can help, and time is not long.
......
Looking at this divine consciousness cultivation method, Xu Chenglin had a lot of enlightenment in his heart. In the cultivation of divine consciousness, the first thing is to be calm and calm, without interference from external objects, and then put the divine consciousness into the mind, and cultivate the divine consciousness with its own essence and spirit.
"This method of cultivating divine consciousness is actually to use one's own essence and spirit to cultivate divine consciousness. If the strength of the body is too weak, this method is still difficult to perform. It seems that the cultivation of this Divine Nian Sword is not unlimited, and there are invisibly requirements for physical strength. It is no wonder that according to the concentration of aura in the past, there is no need to deliberately increase the strength of the body at all. It's just that the nourishment of aura all the time is worth the consumption of weekdays. ”
Thinking so, Xu Chenglin continued to look down. I saw that the content recorded behind the jade slip was no longer obscure and became easy to understand. The ancient methods of cultivating gods are mostly their own methods.
However, the practice developed, and the secret recipe of the elixir that complemented each other was contended for a while. The next content is even more straightforward, and it is a dense list of a lot of elixirs. Obviously, it is precisely to say that taking these elixir secret recipes can speed up the cultivation.
"Ambergris, purple spirit grass, luminous flower, seven-heart grass, dream incense, ...... these elixirs all have a warming and improving effect on the divine sense, although they are not very rare, but they are very expensive! ”
Reading the contents of the jade slip over and over again, Xu Chenglin always had a strange feeling.
The front part of this Divine Mind Sword is obscure and abnormal, apparently from an ancient inheritance. The back of the exercise is simple and clear, and it is obviously a supplement after that. However, if you carefully compare the two parts before and after, you will find the contradictions. The first content talks about paying attention to one's own cultivation, and the latter is about the methods that can be tricked.
What kind of truth is hidden in this, Xu Chenglin didn't figure it out for a while. But he understands a truth, you can be decisive but not rushed. Relying on one's own cultivation to improve one's divine consciousness must be very slow.
Using elixirs to improve divine consciousness is undoubtedly the fastest way. This method of using elixir to improve divine consciousness seems to be very good, but it is actually flawed.
Although the disadvantages of the elixir to enhance divine consciousness are not explained in the jade slip, you can guess a few points if you think about it carefully. It is a medicine that is poisonous, and taking too much elixir will also have an impact on the body. Using elixir to improve divine consciousness, I think the consumption of elixir will not be small.
If the elixir can easily improve the divine sense, then the cultivator will not disappear. Besides, using elixir to enhance one's divine consciousness must require a lot of cultivation resources. Although Xu Chenglin is now a little wealthy, he can't afford to toss like this.
After thinking about it again, Xu Chenglin finally made a choice.
"Since there are two ways to increase the strength of the divine consciousness, it is better to do both. The high-level cultivators are all more or less cultivating some body refining techniques, which is not unreasonable. The exercises of refining the body can be obtained in the Wendao Hall, but it is still necessary to consider carefully which kind of body refining exercises to choose. Although I don't rely on alchemy to fight, it can be used as a life-saving skill. As for the elixirs in the jade slips, if they can be found in the sect, they have to go out if they can't find them. ”
