Chapter 13: Beginning of Spiritual Practice
Spiritual cultivators have a total of five spiritual powers, and they can choose to cultivate. They are gold spiritual power, wood spiritual power, water spiritual power, fire spiritual power, and earth spiritual power.
The specific kind of spiritual power to cultivate is determined by the cultivator's own physique. There are nine stages of each spiritual power practice, and each stage is divided into the early, middle, and late stages.
Each level of cultivation requires a certain amount of spiritual power accumulation and comprehension, as well as a little luck to advance. As the cultivation level increases, the talent of those who need to cultivate will increase.
In the first stage of spiritual enlightenment, the spiritual cultivator perceives the corresponding aura between heaven and earth according to his own physique, and induces, communicates, interacts with it, and finally communicates with the spiritual cultivator's heart.
In the second-order qi gathering period, there is a first-order foundation, which introduces the corresponding aura into one's body through enlightenment, refines the body with aura, and accumulates aura to the dantian.
As a result, spiritual power is formed in the dantian, which can be used by spiritual cultivators to command the use of spiritual power to attack or protect themselves.
In the third-order condensation period, after a long period of spiritual energy precipitation, the spiritual energy in the body will be liquidized and then materialized, and the dantian will give birth to a spiritual power source, commonly known as the inner pill.
At this stage, the spiritual power in the body is very sufficient, and they can use the spiritual power to fight and fly for a long time, and even replenish their physical strength for a long time without eating or drinking. Those who cultivate in the Ning Dan period can practice, primary inscriptions, primary alchemy, and primary refining tools.
In the fourth-order spirit infancy stage, the spiritual power pill condensed in the spiritual cultivator's dantian is like a broken egg, hatching a baby composed of spiritual power and soul to replace the inner pill position.
The spirit child is equivalent to the spiritual power steward of the cultivator, and will automatically absorb the spiritual energy. At this time, the cultivators have a qualitative leap compared to the cultivation of the Ning Dan period, and they can refine their own natal magic weapons when they encounter opportunities.
When a spiritual cultivator reaches the spiritual infant stage, he or she has stepped into the realm of spiritual cultivation, and the spiritual infant is immortal, and the spiritual cultivator is immortal. At this time, cultivators can practice intermediate inscriptions, alchemy, and refining tools.
In the fifth-order enlightenment period, after the spirit infant stage, the main cultivation of the spirit infant, with the development and growth of the spirit infant, the spiritual power in the body of the spiritual cultivator becomes more and more pure and abundant. With the development of the spirit infant, the strength of the spiritual cultivator becomes stronger.
Cultivators in this period can upgrade and refine their natal weapons. The natal artifact is a kind of magic weapon that can grow, and it grows with the strength of the cultivator.
In the sixth-order fusion period, the mature spirit infant and the spiritual cultivator are completely fused, and at this time, the spiritual power of the spiritual cultivator forms essence, which spreads throughout the body with the help of the spiritual infant and turns into a spiritual body.
At this time, the spirit infant is another mini version of the spirit cultivator, and the spirit child can be reshaped without destroying the physical body, or take the opportunity to take the physical body of others.
Even after losing the spirit baby in the body, after a long time of essence and nourishment, a new spirit baby grows and becomes a new spiritual cultivator. It is equivalent to the spirit body, but it takes a long time.
Cultivators at this level can practice, high-level alchemy, refining weapons, inscriptions, and formations. As for achieving master-level attainments, or even grandmaster-level attainments, it all depends on talent.
In the seventh-order spiritual consciousness period, after the spirit infant and the spiritual cultivator are perfectly fused, the spiritual consciousness will be generated. For a cultivator of this level, the detection range of spiritual consciousness is far from comparable to that of the naked eye.
As long as it is within the scope of your spiritual sense, even if it is an ant or a mosquito, every move, the spiritual sense of the cultivator is clear, and the spiritual sense is cultivated to the fullest, and it can even be used as a means of attack.
In the eighth-order soul period, the blood in the body of the cultivator at this time generates spiritual power on its own, and no longer deliberately relies on the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and the first drop of essence blood is formed at this stage.
With the existence of essence and blood, not only does the cultivation speed increase exponentially, but it can also temporarily increase the combat effectiveness when necessary. Of course, the loss of essence and blood will also have a huge negative impact on spiritual cultivators.
At the peak of the ninth order, he had already begun to touch the Heavenly Dao, and at this time, the cultivators already had the ability to push mountains and seas. Spiritual cultivators at this level pay more attention to cultivating to consolidate the foundation for mastery.
Similarly, ninth-order peak late-stage cultivators will always face the level of heavenly punishment, allowing them to disappear at any time. At this time, the cultivator can generate up to three drops of essence blood in his body.
The path of spiritual cultivation is long, lonely, and boring. Most spiritual practitioners practice some auxiliary skills for their interest or to pass the time. For example, common alchemy, refining, and inscription formations.
Reading, writing, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, some spiritual cultivators will also try. The Tao is different and preaches endlessly, and Master Yunyou will explain it from time to time. Dao Yunchu listened attentively, and was full of interest.
After the two old men finished explaining, Dao Yunchu faced the first stage of enlightenment. Due to the special body of the little baby, there is still no conclusion between Dao and Master Yunyou, which kind of spiritual power among the five elements is practiced by Dao Yunchu.
In desperation, a monk could only let Dao Yunchu realize his soul. Then, according to the description of the little baby, they decided on the specific direction of spiritual cultivation.
"Yun Chu, the teacher can't detect your attributes. You can only follow the exercises we teach, feel the aura of heaven and earth, and then tell us how you feel, and then we will make a decision. "The Tao is different.
There is only one way for a monk to judge what kind of spiritual power the little baby Dao Yunchu is suitable for. They knew that Dao Yunchu's physique was special and beyond the scope of their cognition.
The little baby Dao Yunchu nodded seriously, then slowly closed his eyes, followed the mantra taught by the two masters, and concentrated on running.
Time passed little by little, and Dao Yunchu's perception slowly brightened up from the darkness at the beginning. However, the scene he felt was different from what the two masters described.
What the little baby sees is not any of the five colors: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. And what Daoyun saw at first was a variety of colors, or even more colors.
These colored lights surrounded him happily, like a group of children happily playing with him. But no matter how Dao Yunchu called them, these colored lights still only surrounded him, and he didn't listen to Xiaowa's instructions.
After a day of hard work, Dao Yunchu's situation still did not improve. Xiao Yunchu began to be irritable and angry to drive away these colored lights, but they were not afraid at all, and they still just circled around the little baby happily.
The little baby Dao Yunchu reluctantly opened his eyes and told the two masters about the situation he had encountered.
"Yun Chu, it's the master who is sorry for you, giving it to you at such a young age, and under such a lot of pressure, you actually started talking nonsense. "The Tao is different, when I heard what Yun Chu said, my first reaction was that the child was sick.
"What's the pressure on the master? And I'm really not talking nonsense, I'm starting to hate these colored lights, so I'll go around in circles stupidly and ignore me at all. Dao Yunchu said seriously.
"Don't make trouble, what we haven't seen or heard doesn't mean it doesn't exist, I believe what Yun Chu said. Master Yunyou encouraged.
The old monk thought that this was already a very good start, at least proving that Dao Yunchu could still feel the existence of spiritual power. Maybe their method is not suitable for Xiao Yunchu, and they can only think in the long run.
"Yun Chu, you're really not sick?"
"Nope. ”
"Bullnose, are you finished?"
"Okay, I'll shut up. ”
"Yun Chu, first of all, you continue to communicate with these colored lights according to the current method. See if they have any of them, some have a different attitude towards you. If there is no change in 10 days, we will find a way. ”
"You've been enlightened for a day, go and rest!"
In the face of the unknown, the old monk can only take one step at a time. Dao Yunchu was a little disappointed, and got up with the dragon egg and walked into the back room to rest.
"Why are you holding a dragon egg all the time, afraid that we won't be able to steal it?" asked Dao Qi.
"I'm going to hatch it, Uncle Zhang San said, that's how hens hatch eggs. ”
"You ....... "The Tao is different, and I don't know what to say.
"Let him go, after all, he got the dragon egg. Master Yunyou said with a smile.
"What's next? We don't, how much time is wasted. ”
"What can I do? Wait and see what happens, one step at a time. ”
