Volume 1: Forsaken Land Chapter 11: Cultivators Warriors
Ancient legends:
Since the beginning of chaos and the birth of heaven and earth, countless innate beings have been born with the five elements of heaven and earth, yin and yang.
Some of them are able to move mountains and reclaim the sea, pick up stars and take the moon, some of them can spread 90,000 miles and enjoy the world, and some are thousands of feet long, spanning yin and yang......
In the ancient flood period, the congenital creatures competed with each other, the heaven and the earth were out of order, the flood and desolate continent fell apart, and the innate creatures were wiped out one after another, among which the flesh and blood, essence, and divine soul turned into the yin and yang spirits of heaven and earth, as well as the four races of humans, demons, witches, and demons.
During the ancient flood period, the two races of humans and demons were weak, and the two tribes of witches and demons were strong. The Wics are warlike, brutal by nature, and want to dominate the world, so the Lich War that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years broke out, and the two races of humans and demons were involved, united with the demons, and fought against the Wils.
The Wu clan was defeated and gradually disappeared in the long river of history, and the demon clan was greatly damaged and entered hibernation.
After the Great Lich War, the human and demon clans entered a stage of recuperation, and their power expanded dramatically.
Millions of years later, the two races of humans and demons gradually diverged and became hostile to each other, and a war between humans and demons broke out.
Although the demons are inherently stronger than the human race, their number is very small, and as a result, after hundreds of thousands of years, the demons gradually lost their defeat and finally disappeared in the desolate land.
In the land of China, the human race is dominant.
Although the human race has no innate supernatural powers, nor does it have a strong physique, but it has an innate spiritual wisdom that other living beings are incomparable, and some ancestors have gradually mastered some cultivation methods through careful observation, learning, and imitation, and after countless years of generations, they have all kinds of incredible magical powers.
Some of these ancestors absorbed the spiritual power of heaven and earth, studied the laws of all things, and became enlightened ancestors, while other human ancestors imitated the true demon clan, swallowed the demonic energy of heaven and earth, and turned into demonic giants.
At the end of the flood and famine, the human race was separated, and the battle between the righteous and the demon broke out, and the demon path was defeated, leaving behind all kinds of cultivation of magical powers, and gradually dissipated between heaven and earth.
With the passage of time, the internal contradictions of the righteous path human race gradually intensified, and the Buddha and the Tao gradually separated and went against the grain.
In the ancient barbaric period, Buddhism and Taoism competed, Buddhism was invincible, and Taoism was dominant.
============================
Shenzhou is vast, and ordinary mortals can't step out of a corner of the land even if they exhaust the power of a hundred lifetimes, even those immortal cultivators who fly away from the sky can only gallop in a corner of the land.
Heaven and earth are so big that it is not an exaggeration to say that they are boundless.
Compared with the vast land of China, the sea area is unimaginable.
After the Great War of Ancient Innate Beings, the desolate land fell apart and turned into the Eastern Desolate Divine Continent, the Xiling Demon Continent, the Nandu Youzhou, and the Beichuan Cold Continent, as well as countless islands of different sizes.
Xiling Demon Continent, many mountains and mountains, the whole land except for the limited space occupied by less than one thousandth of the human race, the rest is covered by primitive ancient forests, white mountains and black water, covering the sky and the sun, and countless monsters.
During the ancient flood period, the two races of humans and demons fought each other, and the ancient teleportation altar connecting the four heavens and the earth was completely destroyed, and the endless sea was separated, and the gods and demons were difficult to cross, and the four heavens and the earth were cut off from each other, and it has been millions of years since then.
Everything in heaven and earth has its spirit, and under the nourishment of the rich spiritual power of heaven and earth, the land of Shenzhou has given birth to countless miracles, even those ordinary mortals who do not have spiritual roots, they can also step into the path of martial arts through the efforts of the day after tomorrow.
Cultivators, take the spiritual power of heaven and earth for their own use, use the spiritual power of heaven and earth to cleanse the body, expand the meridians, and use the spiritual power contained in the body to communicate with the vast heaven and earth, so as to obtain otherworldly power. However, in the world, there is no one in ten thousand who can really step into the path of a cultivator, and the reason for this is the ethereal but real "spiritual root" theory.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, the five elements of the spirit root are the most common, in addition to the wind, thunder, ice three kinds of spirit roots.
The spiritual root is divided into five grades, the five elements are the worst in the spiritual root, and the cultivation is half the effort, and this spiritual root steps into the immortal path, if it is not for a great opportunity, it is difficult to achieve it; the fourth-class spiritual root is slightly better, in the world of cultivating immortals, the ninth-level monks are all fourth-class spiritual roots, and the five elements are missing one, and the cultivation is also very slow; the third-class spiritual root is more common, and after the cultivation is successful, it is usually called the mainstay of a sect; the second-class spiritual root can take on the role of "genius" It is said that it can choose a sect, has excellent talents, and has infinite possibilities in the future; first-class spiritual root, also known as heavenly spiritual root, this kind of spiritual root can not be found, and cultivation can get twice the result with half the effort.
The darling with the Heavenly Spirit Root is generally called the Innate Spirit Body, and the aura is extremely compatible.
Generally speaking, the talent of the Alien Spirit Root is stronger than that of the Five Elements Spirit Root.
In addition to talent, the monk's temperament, exercises, and teachers can all affect the monk's future achievements.
For cultivators, talent comes first, and mind comes second.
Cultivating immortals and seeking the Tao, always walking alone, can't stand loneliness, and it is difficult to achieve. Those who can endure loneliness, are in a hurry, and have an unstable mind are easily invaded by demons. If you don't have a firm heart to seek the truth, that is, you don't want to make progress, you won't be able to achieve anything.
The main purpose is to lay the foundation for the monk's practice, for the monk's Qi cultivation period, after reaching the foundation, you should choose the advanced exercise.
There are countless advanced exercises, which can be roughly divided into two categories, one is extremely fast, which focuses on the way of killing, and the other is slow, which focuses on the cultivation of the foundation, and both have their own advantages and disadvantages. The practice of entering the country quickly does not pay attention to the stability of the realm and the mind, and is easy to be extreme. The practice of entering the realm slowly focuses on the stability of the mind and the realm, but it is weaker than fighting. Of course, there are also some exercises that contain the advantages of both, and this kind of exercises are generally treasured by the major sects of the sect, and they are never passed on except for the core disciples.
Cultivating immortals is extremely difficult, with the guidance of the master, the cultivation process can avoid many detours, in the world of cultivating immortals, there are constant battles, and with the back of the master, you can also obtain a lot of resources, and the progress of cultivation is far beyond ordinary casual cultivation.
Corresponding to the five realms of cultivators refining qi, building foundations, Jindan, Yuanying, and transforming gods, martial artists also have five realms, namely fine skin and iron bones, blood halo cover body, Jin Breaking Ten Thousand Laws, Dharma Spirit Treasure Body, and Flesh Treasure Raft, it is said that after reaching the realm of the flesh treasure raft, it will be able to resist the thunder tribulation and soar through the sky, but for tens of thousands of years, the strong people who can really cross the tribulation with martial arts have never heard of it at all.
The so-called martial artist is a martial artist who has reached the realm of fine skin and iron bones.
Perhaps it is because the human race in this world has an incomparably thin bloodline of ancient gods and demons, and the cultivation of martial artists here is based on blood and qi, no matter what exercises, the ultimate goal is to better condense blood and temper the flesh.
If you want to step into the martial arts, you must have perseverance, natural treasures, and inheritance exercises.
The root bone, which is commonly referred to as talent, is a strong person who can easily carry the majestic flesh and blood, and the cultivation is twice the result with half the effort. Of course, the so-called diligence can make up for clumsiness, even if the roots are poor, with extraordinary perseverance, perseverance, you can still achieve extremely high achievements, roots, perseverance, at least the same.
Poor and rich in martial arts, in the process of practicing martial arts, a large number of heavenly and earthly treasures are needed to replenish blood and qi, clear the knack, and condense the physical body.
Of course, the most important point is to pass on the exercises.
Most of the martial arts exercises circulated in the world are ordinary exercises, even if they have been practicing for 10,000 years, they do not want to reach the realm of entering the product, and the real inheritance exercises are generally controlled by those big families.
It's no wonder that this Su Hong, who is over thirty years old, does not hesitate to throw away his skin and wants to worship himself as a teacher, even if his roots are strong and his family wealth is rich, there is no inheritance of exercises, everything is just a flower in the water.
Once a martial artist cultivates to the realm of fine skin and iron bones, his blood is steaming, his skin is like old tendons, he is invulnerable, he holds iron into mud, and his longevity is extended, so it can be said that he has been out of the realm of mortals.
The master of the Great Village that he met in Tiezhu Village at the beginning had just reached the realm of refined skin and iron bones, and he had a blood and qi that far exceeded that of ordinary people, but it was a pity that he encountered an evil Daoist of the sixth layer of qi refining.
After the iron bones, there is the realm of blood halo cover. Reaching this realm, the blood and gas are turned into essence, such as slurry and mercury, the power is infinite, all evils do not invade, under the release of blood and gas, flying flowers and picking leaves can kill people, with the unfathomable power of ghosts and gods; Once this realm is reached, it is said that it can awaken the extremely thin blood of gods and demons in the body, transform the outer skin of the internal organs with the blood of gods and demons, temper the flesh and blood, control the hundreds of millions of pores around the body, have the power of ten thousand jun, can fly to the sky and the earth, crack the mountains, and have great magical powers; The warriors of this realm have been out of the category of "human", and the bloodline in the body has been completely replaced by the bloodline of the ancient gods and demons, moving mountains and reclaiming the sea, with boundless power;
However, legends are just legends after all, and there are very few martial artists who can reach the realm of blood halo in the world, and those realms after that have never been heard of at all, and it is not impossible to say that they are made up by the world.
At the beginning of the Tiezhu Village in Heiyun Mountain, before Kong Laosan left, he naturally searched the entire village, in addition to the mountains of gold and silver goods, there was also a book called "Thirteen Chapters of Bone Cultivation" martial arts exercises.
"Thirteen Chapters of Bone Refinement" is undoubtedly a inheritance exercise, but also the main practice of the master of Tiezhuzhai Dazhai, this exercise is divided into thirteen layers, refining to the fullest, is the rumored realm of the martial artist, and at the end of the thin booklet, it is also recorded a martial art called "blood slash", but it is clearly recorded that only after reaching the realm of entering the product, can you practice.
It's just that what puzzled Kong Laosan was why such a rare inheritance technique appeared in a small bandit's nest? This doubt only dipped in Kong Laosan's mind and was left behind.
In addition to the "Thirteen Chapters of Bone Calcining", Lao Dao also left a foundation technique called "Yin Spirit Sutra", as well as Yin Soul Banners, dozens of low-level rune papers, dozens of bottles and jars containing various pills, and a small pile of crystal clear spirit stones like jujube cores.
Although he has the inheritance technique that a martial artist dreams of, and Kong Laosan does not plan to cultivate it himself, it is absolutely impossible to say that he wants to give it away for no reason.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to refuse, Kong Laosan suddenly seemed to think of something, swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, and thought about it slightly, "I won't accept apprentices, if you talk about martial arts alone, I should worship you as a teacher." But we can make a deal......"
Speaking of this, Kong Laosan's voice suddenly became smaller, and he spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
After about a cup of tea, Su Hongzhen's face was first happy, then showed a hint of concern, and after thinking for a while, he finally nodded, "Okay, I promise this condition, I will follow you during this time, and I hope Your Excellency will be counted." ”
"Hehe, you can rest assured of this. ”
Seeing Su Hongzhen agree, Kong Laosan's face relaxed, his face was a little more light, and with a greeting, the two of them rushed forward and backward, and galloped away in the direction of the Water and Salt Gang.
