Although Guangchengzi became the teacher of the Yellow Emperor, he did not directly teach the method of cultivation, according to the exposition of the teachings, the exposition, the exposition of the principles of heaven, what is needed is their own understanding and innovation, the so-called master led the door to practice in the individual is also.

Therefore, in the next three hundred years, Guangchengzi did not teach the Yellow Emperor to practice, but told the Yellow Emperor about some common sense of practice, the pattern and history of the flood famine, and the heels of the strong people of all ethnic groups, which opened the eyes of the Yellow Emperor and laid the foundation for his future achievements as emperors.

After teaching the Yellow Emperor for 300 years, Guang Chengzi began to practice in retreat and let the Yellow Emperor develop on his own.

The Yellow Emperor continued to develop with the Xuanyuan clan, and finally, when the Yellow Emperor was a thousand years old, the Xuanyuan clan finally expanded the clan's power to the Jishui Valley.

Jishui is a tributary of Luoshui, a tributary of the Yellow River, and the Jishui basin is the sphere of influence of the major families of the human race divided into the imperial family surnamed Ji.

The clan rules of the surname Ji, only the core clan can stay near Ji Shui, the other clans stay on the periphery, and the farther away from Ji Shui, the lower the status.

At that time, the Youxiong clan and others were just small branches of the Ji surname, and they were squeezed out of the edge of the Jishui Valley by those big clans, and now the power of the Xuanyuan clan has developed to the edge of Jishui, indicating that the Xuanyuan clan is already in the middle of the Jishui branch in terms of strength and status.

The reputation of the Yellow Emperor also entered the eyes of the elders surnamed Ji.

The current status of the Ji family is embarrassing, although it is listed as one of the twelve great families of the human race, but the true immortal patriarch and the strong man in the clan fell in a treasure war not long ago, and now there is not even a true immortal, and even the elders of the Huajing clan are only three, in terms of strength, the Ji family is now not as good as the third-rate family of the human race.

Because of the withering of the strong men of the Ji clan, many second- and third-rate families of the human race began to erode the Jishui Basin, and now the territory controlled by the Ji clan is only a quarter of the entire Jishui Basin.

At this moment of embarrassment, the Yellow Emperor cultivated to the middle level of the god realm at the age of a thousand years, and he was considered a master in the entire Ji family, coupled with his young age, he was valued by the three patriarchs and wanted to cultivate vigorously, which was also the reason why the Xuanyuan clan was able to squeeze from the marginal clan into the Jishui core clan.

You must know that the more ancient the family, the more attention is paid to the bloodline, if it is those powerful families, even if the potential of the Yellow Emperor is high, and he has not cultivated to the true immortal, there is no idea of improving the status within the family at all.

The Yellow Emperor led the Xuanyuan clan to squeeze into the core clan, and the development momentum not only did not stop, but accelerated, and after another thousand years, the Yellow Emperor broke through the divine realm and became a cultivator of the refining period at the beginning of the transformation realm.

At this time, there was only one person left of the three major clans of the Ji family, and the other two had fallen in the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, and the only patriarch announced that the Yellow Emperor was the contemporary patriarch of the Ji family.

The Yellow Emperor, who became the patriarch, began to unify the forces of the various clans surnamed Ji.

The Yellow Emperor broke the blood kinship, divided the territory, and took monogamy as a family, eight families as a well, three wells as a neighbor, three neighbors as a friend, three friends as a mile, five miles as a yi, ten yi as the capital, ten as a division, ten divisions as a state, Wan Ji surname clan, millions of Ji surname clansmen merged into one state.

After the integration of the Ji family, after more than 300 years of running-in, the internal friction between the various branches of the Ji surname was reduced to the limit, and the family power began to expand and develop, and soon drove away the foreign tribes that invaded the Jishui Basin and completely occupied the Jishui Basin.

After another few hundred years, the Ji clan developed from one state to nine states, and the clansmen lost more than 10 million.

At this time, the Ji clan's power has developed to a bottleneck, and if it wants to develop, it must go out of the Jishui River basin and compete for territory with other human families.

But now that the Terran Ji clan is a third-rate family, all of them have true immortal-level powerhouses, and with the current strength of the Ji clan, they will definitely be beaten to the ground.

In fact, as a tributary of the Yellow River, Jishui covers an area of hundreds of peaks, and it is a few hundreds of peaks rich in resources.

After the natural disaster, the flood wasteland was vast and sparsely populated, and the number of spiritual lands was more than the number of monks, and some of the major families of the human race were expanding their territory, and they were unwilling to overconsume Ji Shui and Ji Clan, so the Ji Clan rose slightly, and the families retreated.

However, if the Ji clan can't take advantage of this time to recuperate and turn into a butterfly, and wait for the major families of the human race to occupy the spiritual land in the Yellow River Valley, sooner or later it will expand to the Ji family's Ji Shui, and at that time, if the Ji family does not have a Taiyi-level powerhouse in charge, it will not be able to hold Ji Shui at all.

Therefore, whether the Ji family can hold the family territory and develop depends on whether the Yellow Emperor can be promoted to True Immortal and Taiyi.

The Yellow Emperor also knew this, so he handed over the affairs to his clansmen, and he retreated in Xuanyuan Hill, preparing to be promoted to a true immortal.

Just when the Yellow Emperor was ready to be promoted, Guang Chengzi went out of the customs and summoned the Yellow Emperor again, preventing the Yellow Emperor from breaking through.

The Yellow Emperor was very surprised, the human race has ninety-nine heavenly tribulations, like a sword hanging above his head, if he can't prove to be a true immortal before the fifth ninety-nine heavenly tribulation comes, he is basically certain to die. The Yellow Emperor's qualifications are not the same, he has cultivated to the peak of the transformation realm at the age of three thousand, and he was about to break through the realm in one fell swoop, but he did not expect to be stopped by his master Guangchengzi.

Seeing that the Yellow Emperor was puzzled, Guang Chengzi said: "If the Terran monks are five thousand years old, that is, if they do not cultivate into true immortals after the Forty-Nine Thunder Tribulation, they will fall under the Fifty-Nine Thunder Tribulation, which is a fallacy. ”

"Huh?" The Yellow Emperor was shocked when he heard this, the common sense that the human race had inherited thousands of eons turned out to be wrong, if it weren't for Guang Chengzi being his master and a saint disciple, the Yellow Emperor would have wondered if Guang Chengzi had ulterior motives.

Seeing that the Yellow Emperor was skeptical, Guang Chengzi explained: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, and the purpose of the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulations is to urge the Terran monks to practice hard, not to erase the Terran monks. It is precisely because there are nine or nine heavenly tribulations hanging above their heads that the elite cultivators of the human race can cultivate to become immortals before the age of five thousand, and other races do not have this pressure, do you see which race of monks can cultivate to become true immortals before the age of five thousand? Even the three great saints of the god race are not yet adults at the age of five thousand?"

Guang Chengzi said: "Since the purpose of the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation is to urge the Terran monks, naturally it will not be a dead end, as long as the Terran monks are strong enough to survive the fifth Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, even if they don't become true immortals, it doesn't matter." ”

"Let's not talk about how to resist the power of the Fifth Heavenly Tribulation with the strength of a Mahayana monk, let's just say that if you can break through the True Immortal, why not break through?" ”

"Is the accumulation enough? Are you joking?" Guang Chengzi said: "Don't talk about your ancestor Yuan Shi Sage, just say that you are a teacher, when you were born, the mana contained by the divine body is more than three times that of your current one, you and Wei Shi said, is your accumulation enough?"

Guangcheng's words are also to deceive the Yellow Emperor's ignorance, Guangchengzi is the first wisp of emperor's gas transformation between heaven and earth when he was promoted to the Yuan Dynasty, and the background is so strong, except for Yuding, even Sanqing is far behind.

"Shizun is a god of the gods, how can a disciple compare?" said the Yellow Emperor busily.

"If you have this kind of mentality, you will be accepted as a disciple for nothing. Guang Chengzi said angrily.

"The master calmed his anger. The Yellow Emperor didn't know why Guangchengzi was angry, and hurriedly asked for guilt.

"Practitioners should be courageous and fearless, and if you yourself feel that you are not as good as others, how can you surpass others in the end. Guangchengzi said: "This seat accepts you as an apprentice, hoping that you can transcend as a teacher, and even surpass your master, which is the meaning of expounding the disciple's practice." ”

"The disciple understood. The Yellow Emperor said: "Then please ask the master to solve the doubts for the disciples, why don't you break through the true immortal now." ”

"Everything in the world is balanced, there is good and there is magic, there is yin and yang. Guangchengzi said: "Only the human race has the misfortune of the Ninety-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, so only the human race can enjoy the blessing of the Dao Heavenly Tribulation." ”

"The blessing of the catastrophe. The Yellow Emperor said strangely, and was surprised in his heart: the catastrophe is still a blessing, which is really strange.

"The world only knows the horror of the Heavenly Tribulation, but who knows that the Heavenly Tribulation is the power of the Heavenly Dao and even the pure Heavenly Dao that cleanses the monk's body and mind. Where the Heavenly Tribulation has the effect of the I Ching cutting the marrow, and those who die in the Heavenly Tribulation are actually not lucky enough, and they fall in the process of the I Ching cutting the marrow, but they can survive the Heavenly Tribulation, whether it is the heart of the Tao or the root bones, they are all reborn, and the future practice will get twice the result with half the effort. The reason why the weak human race was able to achieve true immortality before the age of five thousand was because the previous few heavenly tribulations had improved their root bone qualifications. Guang Chengzi said: "In addition to the human race, that race has this blessing to be reborn with the help of the Heavenly Dao? ”

"There is no catastrophe after the true immortal. The Yellow Emperor's eyes lit up: "Therefore, if you can experience a few more heavenly tribulations before becoming a true immortal, your cultivation after the true immortal will be smoother." ”

"Yes, the more tribulations you experience, the stronger your bones will be. Guang Chengzi said: "The most difficult thing for the human race is to experience the fourth tribulation, as long as you survive the four nine thunder tribulations, almost everyone can become immortals, so it is said that the four nine thunder tribulations of the human race is a hurdle, but it is not wiped out, you can become an immortal after passing it, if you are unlucky, you can not become an immortal through the fourth tribulation, then you will die and the fifth heavenly tribulation, so it is said: people do not become immortals, and the life span is five thousand." But in fact, the human race that has gone through the forty-nine heavenly tribulations to become immortals, the qualification is only scattered immortals, and in the future, they can only cultivate to the Taiyi realm at most, and it is difficult to become a great avenue, and the so-called Taiyi scattered number is also; if you can survive the fifth ninety-nine heavenly tribulations and then become a true immortal, it is the qualification of a heavenly immortal, and at least in the future, it will be a Taiyi heavenly immortal; if you can survive the six heavenly tribulations and become a true immortal, you can achieve a golden immortal, and the avenue can be expected. ”

"Is there such a person in the human race?" the Yellow Emperor said suspiciously.

"How not. Guangchengzi said: "Among the teachings, there are five uncles from your human race, named Cihang, Puxian, Manjushri, Daoxing and Qingxu. Your five senior uncles are all Taiyi Golden Immortals who have experienced seven or eight heavenly tribulations, and they can prove Daluo at any time, but they don't want to preach the Tao too early, and now they are all accumulating. ”

"It's all in the Taiyi realm, and it's still accumulating. The Yellow Emperor exclaimed.

"Cultivation is like building a building, each realm is laying the foundation for the next realm, and the stronger the accumulation, the higher the future achievements. Guangchengzi said: "Only ignorant and shallow people will try to be fast and vainly seek to ascend to the sky in one step, but in the end, they can only be unstable and regret for life." ”

"That's why the ancestor of Zhen Yuanzi will create the way of reincarnation of the earth immortals, and fight for them to have a chance to do it again. "The Yellow Emperor thought of a peerless powerhouse that Guangchengzi once introduced-Zhen Yuanzi.

"Draw inferences from one another, and the children can be taught. Guangchengzi said.

"Disciples also have to learn from the five uncles. "The Yellow Emperor said.

"They are worth learning from, but they shouldn't be your ultimate goal. Guang Chengzi said: "There is also a difference between the body of the golden immortal, there was once a person who survived nine heavenly tribulations and forged the strongest body of the golden immortal. ”

Question: Who is this man who survived the nine tribulations? The answer will be revealed in the next chapter.
