Chapter 8: The Difficulty of Cultivation
Back in the house, Zhou Tianci opened his belly and swallowed the rice and meat like a whirlwind, with a surprising speed. In fact, most of the warriors eat like this.
After eating, Zhou Tianci felt warm in his body.
"In the previous life, some people speculated that the reason why the path of cultivation was cut off was because there was no spiritual energy needed for cultivation in heaven and earth, and this spiritual energy was different from any substance recognized by human beings, and it was a gift from the Creator. Now it seems that this statement is very close to the truth. Zhou Tianci meditated to digest the food he swallowed, and felt that his body seemed to be a little stronger.
"I have only been in this world for less than two days, and I can already feel the difference between this world and the universe in my previous life. Both macro and micro, there is something more to this world. It's like this bowl of rice, which seems ordinary, and the energy it contains can't be compared to even the special genetic medicine in the previous life. With my current status, the food is better than that of the commoners, but it is definitely not as good as those generals and nobles, and this rice and meat must not be a rare thing......"
Zhou Tianci shook his head, and couldn't help but feel sad for the human beings in his previous life. At the beginning, human beings spent hundreds of thousands of years exploring the path of cultivation, and I don't know how many talented people went forward one after another, exhausted their efforts, and finally only took half a step forward, but now it seems that their efforts are too worthless, because it is not their lack of wisdom at all, but the lack of heaven and earth, which is really difficult to force.
"In retrospect, there should have been a cultivation civilization in the universe in the previous life, and those civilization ruins are the evidence. Later, the reason why the cultivation civilization disappeared may be the root cause of the disappearance of the aura. Zhou Tianci judged, he felt the ubiquitous aura in this world, and was very emotional, even the edible rice here, the beasts in the mountains and forests contained powerful energy, which showed the abundance of aura, and only such abundant aura could support the development of cultivation civilization.
Thinking of this, Zhou Tianci cherished the opportunity in front of him even more and devoted himself to cultivation. He had just broken through the Refining Pulp Realm, and the bone marrow of his whole body was condensing and transforming. Bones are the foundation that supports the human body, and the strength of bones will greatly strengthen the body. Refining the marrow is to strengthen the bones from the inside out.
Cultivation is not a comfortable thing, it contains great risks, if you are not careful, you will damage yourself, and the higher your cultivation, the greater the damage to yourself. Ordinary people practice, starting from the day after tomorrow, exercise their bodies first, and when their bodies are strong to a certain extent, they will condense their strength in their bodies. At this stage, if there is no one to guide them, ordinary people are likely to collapse their strength and hurt their own meridians, not only will their skills be exhausted, but their bodies will also be left with incurable disabilities. This situation is not uncommon in Dayu country, and every year I don't know how many people are seriously injured at this stage, and even die in serious cases.
The higher the cultivation, the greater the risk. When it comes to Zhou Tianci's realm of refining the marrow, you must be even more cautious, otherwise if you are negligent, the bones of your whole body may be shattered, and the paralysis will be light at that time. At this time, the spiritual experience of the predecessors is very important.
"Whew...... Call...... Whew......"
Zhou Tianci's chest continued to rise and fall, and his mouth was like a bellows, driving the violent flow of air in the room between exhalation and inhalation. If you listen closely, you will find that his body is constantly crunching, like firecrackers.
This went on for half an hour.
Zhou Tianci opened his eyes, and his breathing returned to normal. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his whole person's momentum was a little sluggish, but his bright eyes were still there.
"There is a great horror in the cultivation that is not inferior to life and death. Zhou Tianci sighed, he had just triggered Zhou Shi's deepest memory, and completely fused, and now he had inherited everything from Zhou Shi. Because of this, Zhou Tianci has a better understanding of the difficulties of cultivation.
Zhou Tianci finally understood why so many martial arts powerhouses were willing to join the army of the Great Yu Kingdom. According to common sense, ordinary people have strength, and they are definitely not willing to be restrained by others, but on the contrary, nearly half of the warriors in the Great Yu Kingdom have entered the army. This is not because they are patriotic and willing to risk for the country, but because they have to do it as a last resort.
There are 12 states in the Dayu Kingdom, each with a population ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions, and out of these tens of millions of people, only a million have actually embarked on the path of cultivation. Most of these millions of martial artists started from the "Forging Body Easy Muscle Technique" announced by Dayu Kingdom, and there is no martial arts inheritance. And "Forging the Body and Easy Tendons" is only the most superficial exercise, which can only make people cultivate until the early stage of the day after tomorrow.
The reason why the Great Yu Kingdom did this was not that the royal family wanted to use martial arts in the world, but that they wanted to collect cultivation geniuses for their own use. In Dayu, except for a very small number of martial arts families and sects, others who want to go further can only join the army, because only the army has an open cultivation method. Of course, it is okay for someone to want to join a martial arts family or a very small number of sects, but they are subject to much greater constraints than the army, because the army can also allow retirement, and martial arts families and sects are not allowed to quit at all.
"The founder of the Dayu Kingdom is really calculating, this is a fair and honest conspiracy, relying on this hand, the royal family has attracted the world's warriors, and the army is getting stronger and stronger. Zhou Tianci admired the makers of this policy, those warriors entered the army, received the benefits of the royal family, and even if they retired in the future, they also inherited the royal affection.
Zhou Tianci also learned that this was also the reason why Zhou Shi entered the army. Zhou Shi was originally a fisherman in a small fishing village in the south of Dayu Kingdom, because he entered the day after tomorrow because of the cultivation of "Forging Body and Easy Tendon Technique", and then, like most people, he chose to join the army of Dayu Kingdom, and then was transferred to Weeping Blood City. Zhou Shi has a good talent, is a down-to-earth person, is willing to fight hard, and has been in Weeping Blood City for five years, not only cultivating to break through to the middle of the day after tomorrow, but also serving as the team leader.
In Zhou Shi's deepest memory, he also felt that the other party missed his family. According to the regulations of Dayu State, only by breaking through to the innate can you take the initiative to apply for retirement, otherwise, you will have to serve for 20 years. With Zhou Shi's situation, it is unlikely that he will break through the innate nature, and if he wants to go home, unless he is promoted to a general by virtue of his great merits, he can only wait until fifteen years later.
"Family...... confusion flashed in Zhou Tianci's eyes, he also has a family, but he has disappeared in the collapse of the universe, "I inherited your body, memory and cultivation, although it was not your initiative, but it is also considered to inherit your kindness, and I will help you settle down with your family." ”
After sorting out all this, Zhou Tianci's heart was unprecedentedly stable, and he knew that he was no longer a hurried passer-by in this world, but closely connected with this world.
Throughout the afternoon, Zhou Tianci was immersed in cultivation. As the leader of the Blood Battle Legion, Zhou Shi is qualified to contact the cultivation materials of the acquired realm and master the secret method of refining the marrow realm. Even so, it was not so easy for Zhou Tianci to refine the bone marrow of his whole body, and in half a day, he only condensed the bone marrow of his arms, and the rest was far behind.
"According to the information of the Blood Battle Legion, the acquired cultivators are unable to perceive the meridian acupuncture points in their bodies or control the aura because they are restless, so they cannot cultivate for a long time. Generally speaking, cultivators in the early days of the day after tomorrow can only run 3 weeks, 6 weeks in the middle of the day after tomorrow, and 12 weeks in the late days after tomorrow...... After this, the acquired cultivator will inevitably be exhausted and will need to recuperate and recover before he can cultivate again. ”
Zhou Tianci recalled the memories of cultivation in his mind, and said to himself with surprise and joy: "But although I am in the late stage of the day after tomorrow, I can easily run the spiritual qi for 72 Zhou Tian, which is 6 times that of an ordinary marrow refining realm powerhouse!
Zhou Tianci understood that the reason why this was so was because of the strength of his "god", in other words, he was now a genius in cultivation. In fact, this is not uncommon. There are many geniuses in this world, but they are only twenty or thirty years old, and they have already ascended to the innate level, far surpassing cultivators of the same age. In addition to the fact that they have stronger exercises and more cultivation resources, it is because these genius "gods" are more powerful and their cultivation efficiency is much higher than that of ordinary people.
In addition to cultivating the secret method of refining the marrow, Zhou Tianci is also familiar with the "Seven Styles of Blood Blade". "Seven Styles of Blood Front" is the method of killing mastered by Zhou Shi, and it is also one of the signature exercises of the Blood War Legion, it is a supporting technique with "Blood Battle Technique", which is not profound, but the lethality is extraordinary.
"Seven Styles of Blood Edge" only has seven moves, the tricks are very simple, it does not pay attention to skills, and it is not difficult to practice. It's just that "Seven Styles of Blood Edge" is easy to learn and difficult to master, and if you want to really exert its power, you must comprehend the momentum of bloody battles. The so-called one man is desperate, and ten thousand people are invincible, and what "Seven Styles of Blood Edge" needs is this kind of momentum.
"It is worthy of the tactics of the army, pay attention to straight, and kill with one blow. Zhou Tianci browsed Zhou Shi's memory of "Seven Styles of Blood Blade" and realized that the first style of "Seven Styles of Blood Blade" is "decapitation", directly taking the enemy's head, and then "chasing souls", "intimidating" and other moves are all to shock the enemy with indomitable desperate spirit and defeat the enemy.
Although Zhou Tianci felt that the realm of "Seven Styles of Blood Blade" was not high, he had no room to choose at the moment, so he could only cultivate. Fortunately, Zhou Shi has already laid a good foundation for him, and Zhou Tianci only needs to get back to his previous feelings.
......
"Are you saying that Zhou Shi, who escaped back, has a cultivation in the late stage of the day after tomorrow?" In the general's mansion, Liu Yuntao asked with some surprise.
Zhang Kai said respectfully: "His subordinates have found out, it is indeed the case, presumably he made a breakthrough in the last battle." General, this Zhou Shi has only been in the army for five years, and he has cultivated to the marrow refining realm, and his talent is good, do you want to win him over?"
