Chapter 16: The Nine Realms of Cultivation (I)

The furnishings in the pavilion are simple, and there is nothing else but a small table. The foot of the pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion is polished very smooth bluestone, the windows around are open, there is no veil, the wind is whining, making the hall appear empty and cold. The cleaning in the pavilion is quite clean, but there is nothing else.

Song Mingting came to one of the tables and sat down, took out pen, ink, paper, inkstone and scriptures, and began to copy the scriptures directly.

One by one, the strong and powerful words fell on the paper, the wind on the cliff whined, and as the pen fell, Song Mingting's body began to operate on its own. The Guizang Sword Sutra flowed through his heart, and the aura began to converge towards Song Mingting's side, and soon, wisps of black and white mist began to rise from Song Mingting's body.

Song Mingting entered the state of cultivation again. For him, cultivation is no longer limited to a specific posture, as long as he wants to, no matter what he is doing, he can cultivate. Therefore, even if he is copying scriptures, he can still operate the mental method, and even because copying scriptures makes his state of mind enter a state of peace of mind faster, the effect of cultivation is better than that of meditation.

With the operation of the mental method, wisps of black and white mana that were changing entered Song Mingting's body along the eleven invisible meridians and merged into the dantian. At this time, Song Mingting's dantian was already filled with black and white qi, which was in the shape of a yin and yang fish, rotating on its own. And outside his body, wisps of black and white mana converged together, constantly hitting a certain part of his body, this place seemed to have an invisible barrier, no matter how the black and white true qi hit, it could never be penetrated.

This is the trick of the Dao! It is the trick of cultivation!

Mana flows into the dantian through the Dao vein, and the first thing to enter the Dao vein is to open up the Dao aperture. This aperture is an invisible aperture, and it is itself occluded, and it needs to be opened before it can contain the passage of mana. The point where he now controls the constant slamming of mana is the Dao Aperture, which has been explored by countless generations. There are a total of thirty-six Dao Apertures, which is the number of Tiangang, he has already opened eleven Dao Apertures before, and now he is opening the twelfth Dao Aperture.

There are a total of nine realms on the path of cultivation, of course, it is limited to this realm, as for the realm after ascension, it is unknown. These nine realms are called the "Nine Realms of Cultivation", from low to high, they are Dao Fire Realm, Cave Realm, Casting Ding Realm, Picking Star Realm, Rongyue Realm, Introducing Sun Realm, My Dao Realm, Yuanming Realm, and Returning to the One Realm, also known as the Dao Fire Period, the Cave Awareness Period, the Casting Ding Period, the Picking Week, the Rongyue Period, the Citation Date, the My Dao Period, the Yuanming Period, and the Gui Period.

Dao Fire Realm, ignite Dao Fire.

This is the first of the nine realms of monasticism, and it is also the beginning of the path of monasticism. Dao Huo, that is, the fire of cultivation, "Dao Zang" has a saying that "mortals have no quality", this quality is qualification, which means that mortals have no qualifications for cultivation. In this world, not everyone is able to cultivate, and there is only one in a hundred people who truly have the talent for cultivation, and the criterion for judging whether a person has cultivation qualifications is whether or not he can ignite the Dao fire.

In fact, all the spirits in the world have Dao fire, but Dao fire is covered with dust, and it is necessary to wipe off the "dust" on it before it can reach the creation of heaven and earth, and then embark on the path of cultivation. However, there are very few creatures that can really wipe off this layer of "dirt", so there is a phenomenon that there is only one in ten thousand creatures with cultivation qualifications. And the Dao Fire period is actually the period when the layer of "dirt" on the surface of the Dao Fire is wiped off. Cultivators at this stage are not significantly different from mortals, at most they have an outstanding temperament and a stronger body.

Cave realm, cave open way.

This stage is the process of "using Dao Fire as a guide, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, refining it into mana, and then using mana to open up the knowledge of cultivation". Because the physical body does not have a hole for true qi to enter, it is necessary for the monk to open the Tao through himself, and this trick is invisible, which is the Tao aperture. When the first hole is opened, the physical body can contain mana. The more Dao Techniques you have opened, the faster your cultivation will be in the future. However, it is not necessary to open more Dao Tricks as much as possible, because if you open too many Dao Tricks during the Cave Period, you will lose too much time during the Cave Period. Second, there are too many Dao Tricks to open the Cave, and if you can't forge a strong enough Dao Ding in the next Dao Ding period, you will have the risk of exploding and dying. So how to handle it is particularly important. The monks in the cave period have been clearly distinguished from mortals, and they have already crushed mortals with their physical strength alone, and they really have the power of nine bulls and two tigers, and more importantly, after reaching the cave stage, the cultivators can use spells and magic weapons.

During the Daoding period, the Daoding was cast.

Although the physical body has no cultivation skills, it has the pinnacle of cultivation. This tripod is the dantian, but the mana that the dantian can hold is not much, it is a pseudo-tripod, it is enough in the early stage of cultivation, but in the middle and late stages, it is far from enough. Therefore, in order to have a longer path of cultivation, it is necessary to give birth to a "container" that is truly used to hold the true qi, which is the Dao Ding. The Dao Ding can hold a large amount of mana, and with the improvement of cultivation, it will slowly expand and become solid, so after casting the Dao Ding, there will be no worries about accommodating too much mana.

These are the first three realms of the Nine Realms of Cultivation, also known as the "Three Realms of Foundation Building", because these three realms are used to lay the foundation, and the combat power that can be exerted is not strong, but it is related to future cultivation. Although the monks in these three stages have gone beyond the realm of mortals, they are still far from having the power to destroy the world and move mountains and reclaim the sea, and the monks in the three realms of foundation building can only be regarded as newcomers who have just embarked on the path of cultivation, and are far from being the backbone of the cultivation world.

After the foundation of the three realms, there is the Star Picking Realm, the Moon Melting Realm, and the Sun Attracting Realm.

Pick the stars, pick the stars into the body.

At this stage, it is necessary to attract starlight into the body, refine the primordial spirit, and turn the yin god into the yang god. What cultivation seeks is immortality, and its root is to make the primordial gods pure yang and immortal for eternity. Therefore, for cultivators, the most important thing is to make the Yuan Shen strong. And the transformation of the yin god into the yang god is the process of the strength of the original god. The original god itself belongs to yin, so it is also called the yin god, and the yin god turns into pure yang after successively attracting starlight, moonlight, and daylight into the body, which is the yang god. The picking week is the process of attracting starlight into the body to refine the original spirit, when the picking week is over, the original spirit can be temporarily separated from the body under the starry night. However, at this time, the monk could not let the Yuan Shen wander outside the body for too long, because although the Yuan Shen of the Picking Week was no longer afraid of the starlight, he was still afraid of the moonlight, so he was not allowed to be exposed to the moonlight for a long time. As for daylight, it is even worse! Once exposed to the sun, the primordial spirit of the week will turn to ashes within a few breaths.
