Volume 1 The Qinling Cloud Gate Chapter 36 Internal and external attainments

However, there are some strange people, relying on the effect of martial arts and external skills that can also help the internal force of true qi, and they have forcibly opened up a method that can also enter the cultivation of martial arts with external skills, which is for foreign kung fu.

However, after all, the external strength of martial arts was originally only used as an auxiliary, and it was not as good as majoring in internal strength to directly refer to the power of the human body's origin, so the purity of the true qi and internal force cultivated purely by relying on external strength was much inferior to that cultivated by internal strength.

It is said that even the internal force generated by cultivating the best top-level external power is one level lower in terms of refinement and purity than the internal force generated by cultivating the most ordinary primary-level internal power. Not to mention how big the difference in the purity of the internal force will be between the slightly worse external power and the better internal power.

That is to say, without the support of the internal force of the true qi, even if there is a powerful martial arts, it is impossible to cultivate in the first place, and even if the form is practiced, it is just a showcase, and without the support of the internal force, there is no power at all.

And once you have the internal power of true qi, even if it is a relatively superficial internal force of true qi obtained from cultivating external skills, you can also use those martial arts techniques that must have a foundation of internal strength before you can practice. Although it is much more difficult to cultivate and master martial arts than people with excellent internal strength at the same level or even some lower levels because of the lack of purity of internal strength, they also have the foundation for cultivating martial arts.

Moreover, even if the true qi is not pure enough and the internal strength is relatively shallow, if it is a pure external master, when facing a person with excellent internal strength who is obviously much weaker than his own cultivation, he can easily win it, which is called "one force to ten meetings". Regardless of external and internal strength, cultivating strong strength is the last word.

However, because the cultivated True Qi internal force is too superficial, relatively speaking, even if the beginner-level external skills are cultivated to the highest level, they can only be cultivated to the upper level of the early stage of the initial realm, the middle-level external skills can only be cultivated to the middle stage of the initial realm, the high-level external skills can only be cultivated to the late stage of the initial realm, and the top-level external skills can only be cultivated to the perfection of the initial realm.

However, for ordinary people, such a "congenital wonderful realm" as the subtle realm is too far away, and it is already very good to be able to cultivate martial arts in the "acquired mortal realm" of the initial realm.

Therefore, although in the eyes of the true martial arts cultivators who pursue the way of heaven, the external kung fu is inferior after all, they will only take into account some real external martial arts when the fundamental internal skills of the martial arts are successful. But in the imperial court where internal strength is scarce, or in the ordinary martial arts of the rivers and lakes, it is already quite good to be able to have one or two foreign kung fu practices.

In the eyes of those who really take internal cultivation as the foundation and then cultivate both internally and externally, in fact, the cultivation of martial arts is also indispensableβ€”and the further you go, the more important the attainment of martial arts is also crucial.

Generally speaking, the beginner level martial arts exercises may be simple, so the initial entry level can exert its due power, the proficiency level or even the mellow level is mainly to increase the proficiency, and can also exceed the level of its power, while the intermediate level and above the martial arts skills are all to reach the proficiency level to be able to exert their due power, the entry basic level is just to exert some of its most basic power, and the mellow level and above can increase its power.

However, the more advanced the martial arts, the more difficult it is to get started, and the more difficult it is to improve their attainments.

Although Zhang Jianghai entered the late stage of the Initial Realm more than a year earlier than Yun Yifan, his three high-level martial arts and the two top-level martial arts are only at the proficient level, and the two top-level martial arts in "Yunxiao Double Technique" are only the peak of the basic level; Although the two of them are slightly inferior in their own cultivation, the one-to-two differences in their martial arts attainments are enough to make up for the gap.

After all, although Zhang Jianghai was the pinnacle of the high-level realm in the lower stage of the early realm, and Yun Yifan was only the beginning of the intermediate realm in the lower stage of the early realm, they were still in the same stage of cultivation after all.

And when it is in the late stage of the initial realm, with the high-level martial arts of the proficiency level, it is enough to give full play to the cultivation strength of the body, if its high-level martial arts can reach the mellow level, the power that can be exerted is enough to be comparable to the top-level martial arts of the proficiency level. If the opponent can reach the level of proficiency that only exerts high-level martial arts, and the attainment realm is one step apart, they basically already have the ability to challenge beyond the stage, and even if they cross the level, they are not completely without a chance of winning - that is to say, just with the martial arts attainments that are one level higher than the opponent, they have the ability to challenge the lower stage of the lower stage of the initial realm and even the stage of the great success stage, even if they encounter the middle level of the late stage of the initial realm, they at least have the capital to fight with it.

However, what you must know is that Yun Yifan's three high-level martial arts are not just ordinary mellow level, but the pinnacle of the mellow level, which is more than one weight higher than the ordinary proficiency level, and the "Chongyun Body Method" has reached the highest level of the harmony level - artistic conception, which is two times higher than the ordinary proficiency level. From this point of view, even if it is a cross-level confrontation, it is not just a matter of looking for a slim chance of victory while trying to protect oneself, but almost has the ability to compete with it.

However, that's not all, Yun Yifan also has a hole card - the artistic conception of internal strength!

You must know that most of the people will not have the stage of cultivation at all in the artistic conception of internal strength, but only experience such a state of attainment in internal strength in the process of breaking down the barriers to the peak-

In fact, before breaking the barrier to climbing the peak, cultivation is the peak of the limit in the later stage of the initial realm, and the attainment of internal strength is the pinnacle realm of the level of harmony - the gradual realization of the gods; it is only in the process of breaking the obstacle to the ascension that such an internal realm will be experienced; and when the obstacle to the summit is broken and the initial state is consummated, the attainment of internal strength has truly reached the realm of "God and Clarity, and Existence in One Heart", that is, the state of "true essence" that has reached the first level of the four true meanings.

Only a very small number of people can cultivate their internal strength in advance before breaking the barrier to reaching the peak. Therefore, the person with the artistic conception of internal strength has another nickname in the cultivation of the late stage of the initial realm - invincible at the same stage.

That is to say, it is the same as the initial advent stage of the lower layer of the late stage of the initial realm, not to mention that Yun Yifan has reached the intermediate level from the primary level, even if he is still at the level of the primary level, then if the martial arts attainments of the two sides are relatively equal, even if the opponent is at the limit of the lower level of the early stage of the early realm, he can still win the battle.

Moreover, there is another way of saying -

If there is a person with amazing talent who can cultivate his internal strength to the realm of God and Clarity before reaching the consummation of the initial realm, then under the condition that the martial arts attainments of the two sides are basically equal to each other, they can even reach the point of invincibility at the same level.

Of course, although Yun Yifan's current internal strength has also had a tendency to break through to the realm of "God and Clarity, Existence in One Heart", but after all, he has not really reached the realm of God and Clarity, but even so, he is already in a considerable degree of internal strength artistic conception, coupled with the martial arts of the super high attainment realm, in fact, he now has the ability to challenge beyond the level.

However, having said that, after all, Yun Yifan is only under the age of fifteen at present, even if his internal cultivation and martial arts attainments have reached the point where they far exceed ordinary people, but in terms of actual combat experience, he is still quite lacking. In fact, there is very little competition between him and his classmates, and the real combat experience is the battle with Yun Yidong yesterday afternoon.

Therefore, with a preliminary understanding of his comprehensive strength, in the face of tomorrow's showdown with Zhang Jianghai, Yun Yifan will certainly not have any pressure, but he will never be negligent.

"Guard against arrogance and rashness, forge ahead, the way is natural, and it will come naturally. On the way back, Yun Yifan couldn't help but have another line of words in his heart.

Since what is lacking is the accumulation of actual combat experience, let's start honing ourselves with this competition!

As the saying goes, "the edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of the plum blossom comes from the bitter cold" - if you want to really go farther and farther on the road of martial arts, you have a state of mind, and you have experienced the chance of being reborn, so you can start to really sharpen it!

When he returned to his small courtyard, the meal had been prepared, but his father Yun Qinghe was still busy in the martial arts hall, and after the family of three had dinner and cleaned up together, they started to meditate again.

Martial arts cultivation is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Whether it is the orthodox martial arts cultivation that focuses on internal martial arts, or the external martial arts practice that starts with external kung fu, it is good to continue to practice diligently and diligently in order to achieve success.

If you want to get started, you must start by devoting at least two or three hours of penance every day to completing the foundation building in 100 days.

After that, it is still necessary to practice diligently, ensuring that there are no less than two to three hours of penance every day, in order to complete the cultivation of reaching the upper level of the initial state within seven years.

After reaching the upper level of the early stage of the initial realm, it is still necessary to practice diligently for no less than two or three hours a day in order to effectively ensure the improvement and improvement of cultivation.

However, after breaking through to the middle stage of the initial realm, whether you are majoring in internal or external kung fu, it is often not as easy to improve your cultivation as simply by practicing diligently.

Of course, no matter what your qualifications are, spending more time and energy on cultivation is still the most direct way to help improve your cultivation, and the so-called diligence can make up for your clumsiness is not entirely unreasonable. However, from now on, in fact, what is more important is the word "enlightenment".

It is said that when martial arts cultivation enters the innate wonderful realm of "gradually knowing the subtleties", there will be a saying that "ten years of penance is better than enlightenment". However, in the realm of martial arts the day after tomorrow, although it is not so exaggerated, the word "enlightenment" is also commendable.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the process of going from the upper echelons of the initial realm to the final breakthrough to the middle stage of the initial realm, aside from the indispensable condition of personal talent and qualifications, comprehension is also absolutely indispensable.

And once you reach the middle stage of the initial realm, understanding becomes more and more important.

Often, some people have a very high level of understanding, and after reaching the middle stage of the initial realm, whether they are practicing the orthodox martial arts of internal strength, or practicing foreign kung fu, they usually only practice for one or two hours a day, and occasionally even only practice for half an hour or an hour in a day, but their entry into the realm is faster than those who maintain two or three hours or even a few hours a day.

Of course, martial arts cultivation, whether it is for the orthodox martial arts that focuses on internal strength, or for the practice of external kung fu, the main internal or external kung fu is the most important thing for their cultivation to improve and improve. However, whether it is the cultivation of martial arts or the competition, it is more than simply running and walking with light skills, in fact, it is nothing less than another kind of practice. Assuming that there is enough practice in these areas, then it is not a delay to occasionally put aside the specialized practice of the main practice of Kung Fu. And on this basis, even if you only practice the main cultivation of Kung Fu for half an hour or an hour every day, it is already considered a normal cultivation.

This is also one of the reasons why Yun Yifan and Yun Yidong were able to break through the bottleneck during the competition.

Of course, on the basis of "enlightenment", if you can spend relatively more time and energy to cultivate the main kung fu as your foundation, the faster your progress will be!

Therefore, whether it is Yun Yifan, Yun Yimeng, or Luo Chenxi, or the rest of the people in Qinling Cloud Gate, or other martial arts cultivators, except for the main time that can be used for cultivation during the day, most of them have the habit of meditating and exercising before falling asleep at night.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

However, at this moment, in a quiet room in the back hall of the Yanwu Hall of the Qinling Cloud Gate, Yun Yuyu, the current master of the Cloud Gate, and the eight elders gathered here.

"Sect Master, you brought a few of us here so late, I don't know what is important?"

Yun Yuyu, who was sitting in the center, heard this, put away his usual plain smile, slightly straightened, and then said very solemnly: "Since the battle between good and evil a hundred years ago, the martial arts have been calm for a long time, but in recent years, the evil side seems to have a tendency to rise again. In the evening today, I just received a secret report that the four major sects of the Evil Dao seem to be intent on interfering in this martial arts conference, so I have summoned all the elders here to hear what you all think. ”

The eight elders sat on the left and right sides of the door master Yun Yuyu, and only then did they see that Yun Yuyu, who had always been peaceful, had a serious face, quite solemn, and they all felt that it didn't seem to be a trivial matter, so they all sat upright. At this time, after hearing his words, they couldn't help but be slightly shocked in their hearts, and their faces showed a deep groan.

Not long after, but it was the Great Elder Yun Yuan's appearance that paused slightly, and said: "We are the Martial Dao Xuanzong, and we should be based on the pursuit of the Heavenly Dao. It's just that the way of heaven is rare, and there are many desires in the hearts of the world, there are many disciples of the four major sects of the evil way, and the exercises can also be passed through the way of heaven.

"For thousands of years, although our four major sects of the Righteous Path also have the heart to completely eradicate the evil path, the four major sects of the evil path have long been deeply rooted, and if they cannot eradicate their roots, the evil path can always resurge.

"A hundred years ago, the evil path was rampant, especially the Traceless Palace was the most victorious - the palace master of the Traceless Palace at that time not only cultivated to the pinnacle realm of the subtle realm, but even several of his major town palace secret techniques and techniques had been cultivated to the highest peak realm of entering the god sitting - gradually the unity of heaven and man, almost invincible in the world!

"At that time, there were two paths, good and evil, and it was not only the palace master of the Traceless Palace who cultivated to reach the consummation of the micro-realm, but except for the pinnacle realm where he had reached the consummation of the upper level of the micro-realm, most of the others were at the middle and lower levels of the consummation of the micro-realm, and only our Yunmen master at that time also reached the pinnacle of the consummation of the micro-realm.

"Except for the fear of our Cloud Gate master, the palace master of the Traceless Palace has no scruples about the rest of the masters. Therefore, a hundred years ago, at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the palace master of the Traceless Palace actually led the four major sects of the Evil Dao and a group of evil demons to attack our Qinling Cloud Gate.

"Fortunately, back then, it was the heyday of our Qinling Cloud Gate, at that time, in addition to the sect master, there were still eighty or ninety masters of the micro realm, that is, there were six or seven hundred masters of the peak of the initial realm of mortal martial arts, and the remaining disciples of the sect were no less than six thousand.

"Although the four major sects of the Evil Dao such as the Traceless Palace and the Outer Dao of the Evil Demons at that time were very powerful, in order to hide their traces as much as possible to achieve the effect of the attack, just pouring out their elite people, there were only four or five thousand people.

"However, at that time, it was combined with the power of the entire evil path, among which there were no less than one hundred and sixty or seventy masters in the subtle realm, and there were more than a thousand masters in the first realm of martial arts, and the rest were all cultivators in the late stage of the initial realm.

"Yes, although just our Yunmen Sect people are hundreds more than the people in the evil path who are attacking, plus some subordinates who are familiar with martial arts, there are even more people. However, there are really many masters in those evil demons and outer ways that attacked, and there is still a big disparity in the strength of the two sides.

"Fortunately, at such a critical moment, the great battle in the valley soon alarmed the Crane King, who had lived in Taibai for a long time.

"The Crane King is worthy of being a spiritual creature for hundreds of years, extremely psychic, and found that our Qinling Yunmen has been in a deep crisis, and directly flew all over Taihua Mountain, Daizong Mountain and Bailu Island in the South China Sea in one day, and informed the other three major sects of the righteous path.

"Fortunately, all of our major sects have domesticated primordial beasts and birds, and among the three major sects, the Taihua sect is the closest to our Qinling Cloud Gate, and the distance is only four or five hundred miles, so it is also the sect that the Crane King first notified.
