Chapter 16 The Foundation of the Establishment of the School
In the cultivation world, the inheritance of top-level cultivation exercises is usually very mysterious and strict, and sometimes even those who have learned the exercises themselves cannot reveal them casually, because those exercises themselves integrate countless extremely mysterious soul prohibitions to protect themselves and safeguard the interests of the sect. The process of cultivating the exercises is the process by which these prohibitions come into play, and the higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the power of the prohibitions.
Once these soul prohibitions judged that a cultivator had a tendency to leak sect secrets and endanger the sect's interests, they would immediately automatically take effect and issue instructions to the cultivator's subconscious mind to prevent him from continuing in this dangerous direction. If a cultivator is still obsessed and insists on doing things that harm the interests of the sect, then he will definitely suffer the terrible end of the repercussions of the exercises and a mental breakdown.
The general practice of going mad can also be gradually recovered by taking the elixir and slowly cultivating, while the practice of the counterattack is directly from the foundation to corrupt a cultivator's cultivation future, even if he can get away with saving his life, his cultivation will be completely abolished, even if he starts all over again and re-cultivates again, he will not be able to cultivate much higher, and there is no hope of becoming an immortal for life.
This is also one of the key reasons why cultivators in the cultivation world are very cautious in accepting disciples, and the apprentices are also very loyal to the sect. If the benefits of betrayal are far less than the losses caused to oneself, naturally no one will have nothing to do with betrayal. This phenomenon is more obvious to the core disciples of the famous sects, because only those top-level exercises they cultivate will integrate so many mysterious prohibitions, and ordinary cultivators will at most make an oath not to betray their masters, but they will not be so troublesome.
Of course, trouble is trouble, the effect of this method of secrecy is still extremely excellent, judging from the history of the cultivation realm, those top cultivation exercises have never had an accident of secret leakage, and they are all well protected.
Unless they can worship those major sects, get their approval, and pass them on, no one will be able to peek into the core secrets of those top-level cultivation techniques, even if they use the soul searching technique to forcibly check the sea of knowledge of the cultivators. Because once the soul prohibition that comes with those exercises realizes that they are being read illegally, they will immediately start the self-destruction procedure, and the practitioners of the exercises will be turned into ashes together, giving outsiders no chance to exert their means at all.
As the Seven Tribulations Scattered Immortals, Baicaosan and Wei Changfeng are definitely the core high-level of their respective sects, and they have naturally cultivated the top cultivation techniques "Rejuvenation Heart Sutra" and "Burning Sun Blazing Fire Technique" that are secretly passed down in the Rejuvenation Valley and the Divine Fire Gate, and they must have a deep understanding of them, but it is because of the unique inheritance method of the top exercises that they cannot record them at all and circulate them outside. Otherwise, Lu Yan would not have to painstakingly compile the "Nine Rank Ascending Immortal Formula", just let his disciples practice these two top-level exercises, and the effect would definitely be better than the top-grade exercises he had worked so hard to come up with.
Straight to the point. Originally, even if Lu Yan successfully survived the Heavenly Tribulation and successfully advanced to the Mahayana period, he would not be able to complete the compilation of a superior cultivation method. After all, as a casual cultivator, his foundation was too poor, and neither his knowledge, nor his experience, nor his cultivation perception, was enough to support him in completing the compilation of a superior cultivation method.
Thankfully, under the adventure of near-death, Lu Yan not only grabbed a stand-in puppet of immeasurable value, but also obtained the storage rings of two high-level scattered immortals. Although there are no top-level cultivation exercises in the Rejuvenation Valley and Shenhuo Gate, there are many other sects of cultivation techniques collected by the two of them over thousands of years, as well as non-core secondary exercises in the two sects, and there are also practice records that record the cultivation experience and success and failure lessons of the two of them in the past 10,000 years as a reference.
It is precisely with this profound accumulation, coupled with the immortal-level cultivation techniques and experience left by the True Immortal Xingyun of the Nine Tribulations, that Lu Yan was able to absorb the strengths of all families, take their essence, remove their dross, painstakingly and painstakingly and painstakingly, and finally succeeded in compiling a complete "Nine Grades Ascension Immortal Formula".
From here, it can also be seen that there is a huge gap between ordinary casual cultivators and sect disciples, not to mention anything else, the gap in cultivation exercises alone is a huge gap. Lu Yan worked hard and made many references to compile a superior cultivation method, and the disciples of the sect may only use the secondary exercises as a reference are some superior goods, not to mention those scattered exercises that are incomplete, and the gap is definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
It's just that at this time, Lu Yan successfully compiled the "Nine Grades of Ascending to Immortal Formula", which can be regarded as making up for his regret of scattered cultivation, so that his disciples and grandchildren no longer have to struggle with the dilemma of defects in the exercises, and they no longer need to lag behind others at the initial stage. And after having a complete set of cultivation exercises, he can be regarded as laying the foundation for the founding of the sect, so that his lineage cultivators have the opportunity to occupy a place in the vast and boundless cultivation world.
Listening to Lu Yan complacent about the process of creating the exercises, Ye Qiuli also felt the same way, and he was honored, and his heart was filled with an inexplicable excitement and gratitude. Therefore, as soon as Lu Yan finished speaking, he immediately congratulated loudly: "Congratulations to Master Venerable for creating this superior cultivation method, it will definitely be infinite and famous for centuries in the future, even if it is not difficult to start a sect!"
It's no wonder that Ye Qiuli was happy from the bottom of his heart, with this "Nine Tribulations Ascension Immortal Formula", he would not need to take so many risks in his future cultivation process like Lu Yan, and he could slowly cultivate to the late stage of the Tribulation step by step, and then with the help of the Nine Tribulation Substitute Puppet, he successfully survived the Heavenly Tribulation and successfully advanced to the Mahayana Period, and then waited for the arrival of the auspicious light with peace of mind, and easily ascended to the Immortal Realm all the way.
Feeling the unforgettable desire for a complete cultivation method expressed by Lu Yan in the story, he really didn't dare to imagine what kind of ending he would have after he started his cultivation career with the incomplete cultivation method. He didn't have the confidence to replicate Lu Yan's path of success.
Fortunately, Lu Yan, who had reached the Mahayana stage, spent hundreds of years and countless scheming before and after finally creating a complete set of superior cultivation exercises, so that he did not have to embark on that thorny and arduous path again. This has to be said to be his luck.
"Hehe, the predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the shade, and the teacher worked so hard to create the "Nine Grades of Ascension to Immortals", and in the end it was not all cheap for you! Anyway, the teachers are all people who are going to fly to the immortal realm, whether you will start a sect in the future, it is all up to you to decide, as long as you don't forget to add the name of the teacher to the tablet of the ancestor of the sect. Hearing Ye Qiuli's congratulations, Lu Yan was not modest, and immediately accepted it with a smile, and his words were filled with an indescribable sense of comfort.
He was naturally very interested in the founding of the sect that Ye Qiuli mentioned, after all, creating a cultivation foundation that has been passed down endlessly is basically another core pursuit of their kind of casual cultivation in addition to the tribulation and ascension. There is an opportunity to be an ancestor and live for a hundred years, and I am afraid that no one will give it up easily.
It's a pity that he advanced to the Mahayana stage early, and at this time, he was able to resist the call of the immortal realm by relying on his own suppression, and continued to stay in the human realm, there was no longer enough time to achieve this goal, and he could only hand over this burden to Ye Qiuli after making sufficient preparations.
As for why Lu Yan's successor is Ye Qiuli, it can only be explained by the word "fate". There is a mysterious power in the dark that connects two people who are originally unrelated, so that they happen to meet together at such a special time and on such a special occasion. Ye Qiuli was able to successfully worship Lu Yan as a teacher, which was not only Ye Qiuli's chance, but also Lu Yan's chance.
Regarding this, Lu Yan had already felt it from the first time he saw Ye Qiuli, otherwise how could he treat Ye Qiuli as a mortal with such a good attitude. In the more than 1,000 years that he has been on the ground, he has also traveled to the human world several times, and he has also met all kinds of ** characters during this period, but no one has ever been able to give him a unique feeling like Ye Qiuli, giving him the urge to inherit the inheritance.
As a master of Mahayana cultivation, Lu Yan absolutely believed in his own feelings, and put them into action. This was also the main reason why a quasi-immortal like him was so intimate with Ye Qiuli, an ordinary mortal who was not well known. If someone else came over, he might have been waved elsewhere a long time ago, and that person would not be given a chance to know that he existed.
"Haha, Master, but please rest assured, when the conditions permit in the future, the disciple will definitely do his best to build a top-level sect, so that the reputation of the master will be spread forever. Knowing Lu Yan's ardent expectations, Ye Qiuli didn't consider whether he could achieve it with his own ability, so he immediately patted his chest and promised. The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, and there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there will always be a way to solve things in the future.
"Hehe, it's good if you have this heart, but there is no need to force yourself, everything is according to fate, as long as you can do it. The position of the top famous sect in the cultivation realm is unimaginable, and super factions like the Rejuvenation Valley and the Divine Fire Sect, which have not been inherited and developed for hundreds of millions of years to have the current scale, you don't have to take it too seriously. If you can work hard and build a second- or third-rate sect, you will already be satisfied as a teacher. After all, there is already a precedent for success. Hearing Ye Qiuli's confident assurance, Lu Yan was really relieved, and suddenly felt that this disciple had indeed received a good job. It's just that he still reminded him a few words, do everything according to his ability, there is no need to compare with others, as long as he feels satisfied.
"Well, the disciple listens to the master, and what the master says, then it will be. Hearing Lu Yan's words, Ye Qiuli also felt that his Haikou seemed to be a little exaggerated, so after knowing that Lu Yan's own psychological goal was the second- and third-rate cultivation sect, he immediately changed his tone from goodness to flow.
Don't listen to the old man's words, suffer a loss in front of him, as a pure newcomer who doesn't know anything about the cultivation realm, his judgment of the situation is obviously not as accurate as Lu Yan, a master of cultivation, and follow Lu Yan's advice a lot, obviously there are only benefits and no disadvantages.
