XVII. The Difference Between Immortals and Mortals (II)
And the so-called higher realm is that when the Jindan is cultivated to the extreme, and the divine soul is completely combined with the Jindan, life will be born in this Jindan, the so-called "Dan Broken Baby" - a primordial god baby grows from the Jindan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis baby can be almost completely separated from the body, can move freely in the outside world like a ghost, can also use spells independently, and can even absorb the aura to cultivate on its own! After not being bound by the body, its movements are extremely fast, and it is difficult to be harmed, which can be called the fairy among ghosts.
At this time, the monks are called the Yuan Infant Stage, and they have reached the top of the human monks.
Yuanying monks no longer care about life or death, and they no longer value physical skin - they can choose to take away or be reborn like Jindan monks, but they can also choose to re-enter the reincarnation cycle through the underworld. Reincarnation is in line with the way of heaven, and there is no limit to the number of times. And the monk who has a primordial infant has a great chance of being able to maintain the memory of his previous life even after going through the reincarnation of the underworld, and turn the life of this life into a continuation of the previous life, which is the real immortality and eternal cycle.
Speaking of which, the reason why Huang Chang, a "traverser", was able to worship in West Kunlun was largely because of the light of the concept of Yuan Infant Reincarnation - the monk in charge of selecting disciples in West Kunlun felt that people who could reincarnate with the memories of their previous lives would always have something special, which gave Huang Chang, who was not very talented, a chance to worship the mountain gate.
And if you don't want to enter the reincarnation of the Yuan Infant Power, you can also stay in the world in the form of a Yuan Shen for a long time as a ghost immortal. Since the Yuan Infant can cultivate on its own, as long as it maintains enough mana, it can continue to exist without growing old or dying. It is claimed that it can live with heaven and earth, and the sun and the moon shine together. Of course, in fact, it will definitely not be able to reach this long, but it is certainly not a problem for thousands of years, and it is said that there is an old ghost who has survived for thousands of years on this West Kunlun Mountain, but no one has ever seen it.
Yuan Ying went up further, and according to legend, he returned to the void and ascended to the heavenly realm, but that was just a legend and had never appeared in the human world. Therefore, in the eyes of most people in the immortal cultivation world, Yuanying is already the end of the path of cultivation in the world, and further down there is nothing more than thinking about how to prolong life, enjoy the top life in this immortal world, and try to prepare for the next life to re-enter the immortal gate - this is actually very popular among Jindan stage monks. After feeling that their fortunes in this life have been exhausted and their luck is insufficient, and it is difficult to further advance to the Yuanying realm, many Jindan Grandmasters will often try to hide their life savings and various resources and treasures, and wait for their rebirth or rebirth to find and use them after they are reborn.
- Immortals come out of the mortal, even if they are Jindan or even Yuanying masters, once they are reincarnated and reborn, their initial stage is still only a mortal body, and if they want to return to the height of their previous lives, they must also go through diligent study and hard training, and experience all kinds of dangers and calamities before they can make progress. In the middle of this process, if you can get all kinds of resource treasures left by your previous life, you can of course improve the efficiency of the path of cultivating immortals a lot, so as to reach the realm of your previous life as quickly as possible, and continue the exploration that you could not complete in your previous life.
It's just that this kind of secret treasure often doesn't fall into the hands of the original owner - in the mortal and even in the Qi refining stage, all kinds of dangers emerge one after another, even for the reincarnated and reborn powers, this period is too dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will lead to life and death. Leaving a secret treasure and becoming an ownerless thing may be discovered by other lucky immortal cultivators after a few years, and it will become an opportunity to help others improve their realm.
Or because the secret treasure often echoes with the aura of heaven and earth, and all kinds of treasure hunting techniques in this world that sense the aura of heaven and earth are also endless, sometimes a peerless magic weapon here has just escaped from the original owner's cover, and a certain power over there has a divine soul sense, and says "This treasure should be related to me", and then set off to hunt for treasure - there are often such rumors in the world of cultivating immortals: a certain place appears a certain powerful genetic treasure, and a certain place finds the remnants of a certain true immortal cave...... Every time this kind of news is heard, countless monks will scramble, and it is not uncommon for them to cause a bloody storm.
In contrast, the monks of the big sects are better, they usually choose to keep the treasures in the secret cave inside their sect, and then make an agreement with the sect: for example, within three or five hundred years, their reincarnated body will come back and open. Of course, there will be all kinds of verification methods for the sect and myself, as long as it can be proved that the person who came is indeed the great power in the previous life, you can get the secret treasure smoothly, without worrying that you will be cut off halfway. And if no one comes to open it after this period of time, it means that most of them have fallen halfway, and at this time, the sect is allowed to open the secret cave and take away the treasures, which can be regarded as a contribution to the development of their own sect.
Of course, the prerequisite for doing this is that the sect has a good reputation, will not do such dirty things as guards and self-theft, and its strength must be strong enough not to be destroyed in these hundreds of years. Otherwise, it will be a marriage for nothing.
Sometimes, however, reincarnated monks who do not have a sect, or whose sect is not strong enough or have a bad reputation, also choose this way of hiding treasures - they find those large sects that have been passed down for a long time and have a very good reputation, and make similar agreements with them. Pay a part of the fee, and the agreed treasure withdrawal time will be shorter, and then at least you can buy a reincarnation with confidence. For example, West Kunlun Mountain often receives this kind of business, which in Huang Chang's view is like the safe deposit box service provided by the bank in the previous life, but the period is longer.
And frankly speaking, there are not too many original owners who can come back to obtain the treasure in the end, no more than three or four out of ten, definitely not more than half, and the rest will become the property of West Kunlun after the age is up, which shows that this banking industry is really an absolutely lucrative industry - even in the Xianxia world.
...... All in all, Qi refining, Fa Yuan, Jin Dan, and Yuan Ying are the four basic concepts used in the world of cultivating immortals today to divide the realm of cultivators, and each level of the realm is usually divided into the early stage, the middle stage, the late stage, and the four levels of the Great Perfection, a total of sixteen levels. The difference in strength between each level is huge, and it will be extremely difficult to break through. Especially when breaking through the great realm, such as refining qi to Fa Yuan, Fa Yuan to Jin Dan, Jin Dan to Yuan Ying...... Each time, the so-called "heavenly catastrophe" - a disaster that came down from heaven. It is said that the rules of heaven actually do not allow immortals who go against the sky in the world, so these calamities are descended, and if they can't withstand it, they will die and die, and they can't even enter reincarnation.
However, as long as it can cross it, there will naturally be a sea and sky behind it, and its strength will increase greatly compared to before. Especially between Qi refining and Fayuan, it is known as the difference between immortals. The vast majority of monks in this world can only be stuck in the late stage of qi refining or the threshold of the Great Perfection for the rest of their lives, and they do not have the strength or courage to survive the heavenly tribulation, they cannot practice the golden liquid to wash their bodies, reshape their physical bodies, and they cannot get rid of the mortal wombs of the flesh, and they will never be able to become immortals.
