Chapter 286: The Meaning of Cultivation

With the same cultivation, in the case of cultivating different secret techniques, there will be a significant difference in strength. People who cultivate high-grade secret arts, generally speaking, will always be much stronger than low-grade secret arts.

But enhancing strength is only part of it, more importantly, the secret technique itself has the effect of condensing the true qi in the body of the immortal cultivator, so the cultivation of the same immortal cultivator, compared with the cultivation of the upper grade secret technique and the cultivation of the lower grade secret technique, the degree of condensation of the true qi is more powerful. It is really for this reason that even if you don't use any martial arts and fight empty-handed, under the same cultivation, the strength that a cultivator who cultivates a high-grade secret technique can exert is even stronger than a cultivator who cultivates a lower-grade secret technique. Of course, Yu Chu has cultivated techniques that can condense secret arts, and even more than just cultivated, the techniques he cultivated are far more powerful than ordinary secret arts, and the mystical art of Jin Ding Gong, although it is a defensive mystic art, but in the condensation of true qi, it is far from being comparable to the secret art. But despite this, when facing Chen Laosan, there are still some deficiencies, Chen Laosan's cultivation is in the innate fivefold, and Yu Chu's cultivation is only the innate twofold, the innate fivefold is against the congenital twofold, and the gap between the cultivation is too far. With such a big gap in cultivation, not to mention that Yu Chu's cultivation was a defensive mystic, even if it was an offensive mysticism, there was no way to compare it with Chen Laosan. The power of the true qi itself is certainly affected by the nature of the technique, such as secret arts, such as occult arts, such as spells, such as dao techniques, each technique will have a great impact on the degree of condensation of true qi, and this influence will be very different from each other. In addition to this, between the occult and the occult, between the occult and the occult. There will also be a gap, and the top-grade secret art is not the same as the low-grade secret art. Top-grade occultism and low-grade occultism are also different. This difference is not even limited to grades. In the mystic, there are no defensive mystics and auxiliary mystical arts, not to mention, in the occult arts, they are divided into offensive mystical arts, defensive mystical arts, auxiliary mystical arts, and even special mystical arts, and there are also differences in their power between these mystics and mystical arts. When the true qi of a person is used. The power exerted usually refers to the offensive power, even if it is defended with true qi, it is actually offensive power, the true qi is spread all over the body, and the use of true qi to resist external true qi is also an offensive way, and it cannot be counted as defensive, of course, it cannot be completely miscalculated to say that it is defensive. Merely. In this way, it is to use the true qi to protect oneself and hedge against the true qi attacked by others. In fact, this method is aggressive, but the attack that was originally intended to be played with the hands, head, feet, and even the mouth is used to use the body. An attack is an attack, but a defensive position is taken. So this aggressive way. In fact, it can be called passive defense, which is completely different from defensive techniques. Defensive techniques. For example, Yu Chu's Jin Ding Gong, which uses a special cultivation method to condense its own true qi into the shape of a Ding, virtual or embodied, and after condensing it, it uses this Baoding to resist external attacks. Therefore, this kind of resistance, and simply using the true qi to resist, are two completely different things, completely using the true qi to resist, the true qi does not generate anything else, even if the true qi is all over the body, the true qi is still the true qi, and not into other things, the true qi plays a defensive role, but it is not a defense in the real sense, and compared with the defense in the real sense, it is far worse. Take the defense of immortal cultivators as an example, if the average immortal cultivator only uses his own true qi to defend, the power he can exert is extremely limited, an ordinary innate double is hit by another innate double double, in the absence of a special cultivation method, not to mention being hit by the opponent's secret technique, even if the opponent does not use the secret technique, using the true qi to simply use the palm to hit, it can still be injured. The real reason for investigating it is, of course, because the defensive ability of True Qi and the aggressiveness of True Qi are not on the same level at all. First of all, using true qi to attack, that is, to gather true qi, condense it on the palm of the hand, and in an instant, exert a powerful power, that is, compress a large amount of true qi to the greatest extent, and after compression, this part of the true qi will burst out in an instant, which is the specific manifestation of general attacks. It almost condensed the true qi of the immortal cultivator's whole body, and instantly exerted its power. This power is concentrated, all the power is concentrated in one point, exerted, just like cutting paper with a small knife, the knife is sharpened, when cutting paper, the force area is small, and it is easy to cut the paper. If you don't sharpen the knife and use a stick to cut the paper, it will be relatively difficult to cut the paper. This metaphor is the same as the principle of an immortal cultivator using his true qi to attack and defend. Immortal cultivators use their true qi to defend, and at the moment they are hit, because they do not cultivate special defensive techniques, it is difficult for their own true qi to be condensed at the point where they are hit. If it can't be condensed specifically at the point where it is hit, the true qi will naturally spread, like a piece of cloth, spread all over the body of the immortal cultivator. And once it is spread all over the body of the immortal cultivator, the true qi of the secondary immortal cultivator itself will naturally be thinned, and after it is thinned, if you want to resist a one-time attack hit by others, of course, it will be much more difficult. Therefore, when an immortal cultivator attacks an immortal cultivator, if two people have the same cultivation, and neither of them has cultivated defensive techniques, then one of the immortal cultivators attacks another immortal cultivator, not to mention using secret techniques, which can condense true qi and exert several times or even several times the power of his own true qi ordinary attack, even if he just uses ordinary attacks to hit this immortal cultivator, he has no way to resist it. Under one blow, you have to be injured. In this case, not even if you are hit by an immortal cultivator of the same rank, even if you are hit by an immortal cultivator who is slightly inferior to yourself, you will still be injured. Therefore, compared with the means of attack, especially the immortal cultivators of the innate realm, for ordinary immortal cultivators, their offensive means are far better than defensive means, and when attacking, they can exert great power, but when they are defending, they can't do it. Because in the absence of cultivating specialized defensive techniques, you can only use your true qi and defend without a targeted defense. Once there is no targeting. It's that the true qi can't be concentrated, and the true qi can't be concentrated. The defense ability of the immortal cultivators is much weaker comparatively.

This is just like the Immortal Cultivator who fought the Innate Quadruple Immortal at the beginning of the Great War. The innate fourfold immortal cultivator is already very high in terms of strength, but the average immortal cultivator is not Yu Chu's opponent at all. This is the role of defensive techniques, after Yu Chu mastered the Jin Ding Gong, the defensive ability has greatly increased, and ordinary immortal cultivators, not to mention the innate twofold, even if it is the innate fourfold. It's not easy to hurt him, and it's even more delusional to want to hurt him at the beginning. Under Jin Dinggong's strong defensive ability, ordinary attacks, not to mention injuring Yu Chu, could not even cause any damage to Yu Chu. And Yu Chu's attack, the general innate quadruple did not dare to withstand it easily. It is easy to bear, and it is very likely that he will suffer serious injuries because he can't resist Yu Chu's attack, although his cultivation is very high. But you can't hurt your opponent, you can't hurt your opponent, and no matter how high your cultivation is, it's useless. Although the other cultivation is a little lower, it relies on its own special attack means. But the other party does not dare to bear it easily, once it is easy to bear. What awaits him is bound to be injured and defeated, and in this case, it has become an obvious thing that Yu Chu can defeat the innate fourfold immortal cultivator. This is also the reason why Yu Chu can defeat the innate fourfold immortal cultivator even if he doesn't use the mutation talisman seal, all of which is of course caused by his own cultivation of the Golden Ding Gong. Jin Dinggong's occult art, with its own powerful defensive means, can exert a powerful power in the face of ordinary immortal cultivators, so that ordinary immortal cultivators have no way to hurt Yu Chu, and there is no way to hurt Yu Chu, after a long time, they can only be injured by Yu Chu.

Of course, if it is replaced by Chen Laosan, it is a different matter. Compared with the innate fivefold and the innate quadruple, although the cultivation is only one layer behind, the gap in strength is also obvious, especially after the innate fivefold, he is about to break through to become a qi refiner, and the strength at that time, even between the innate fivefold and the innate fivefold, the early innate fivefold, and the later innate fivefold, in terms of strength gap, it is simply a world of difference. After all, the initial innate fivefold, although it is also an innate fivefold, still belongs to the innate realm. And once it reaches the later stage, especially when facing the critical point of breakthrough, at that time, because it is about to break through to the Qi Refiner, the true qi in the body is greatly transformed, generating vitality, and when generating vitality, there is even a condensation of true yuan power, and the physical state is also changing step by step from flesh and blood to light and spiritual body. And once it becomes a light and spiritual body, it can resist the wind, and it can use the escape technique, the key is that it can better control the spell, and at that time, compared with the innate realm, it has simply undergone earth-shaking changes. It can be said that only when they reach the realm of Qi Refiners can they be called immortal cultivators in the true sense, and before that, especially before they have not cultivated to the innate fivefold, the immortal cultivators at that time are at most one level stronger than the martial artists. Although the acquired realm broke through to the innate realm, the whole person changed from the original mortal body to the later body impurities, and the whole person's body became light and light, so that he could better use the innate secret art, exert the maximum power of the innate secret art, and even use magic weapons to a certain extent, and more importantly, he could control the secret treasure. The secret treasure itself, compared with the secret art, has a secret word in the name of the two, although there is a certain difference in itself, but in fact, there is a certain correlation between the two, otherwise the names would not be so similar. The appearance of the secret treasure was originally on the basis of the secret art, and like the secret art, it was to maximize the power of the cultivator's own true qi, which was born from the secret art, but it was stronger than the secret art. It can be said that the secret art itself only has an offensive secret art, but at the level of the secret treasure, it has derived a lot of changes, transforming the original secret art into a simple attack, and turning this attack effect into a variety of effects. It can be said that the emergence of secret techniques was actually changed by immortal cultivators in a higher realm through secret techniques. It is precisely because of the huge limitations of the secret art itself that many immortal cultivators of the higher realms combine it with magic weapons and use tools to exert the power of secret arts. This kind of power, because it has a certain nature of magic, is, to a certain extent, between the occult and the occult. To be precise, the effect of this secret treasure is actually closer to occult arts, although compared to occult arts, the power is far from comparable. However, its research and development itself is to replace the occult arts, so that ordinary immortal cultivators in the innate realm can enhance their own cultivation. More options.

This is the origin of the secret treasure. But anyway, Yu Chu's current strength. Against the normal Innate Quadruple, although it can be done without using the Mutant Sigil. Defeat the opponent, but once you face the innate fivefold immortal cultivator, if you want to defeat the opponent, it will not be so easy. The reason why he was able to defeat the innate fourfold immortal cultivator was because of his own cultivation of the occult arts, which caused the ordinary innate fourfold to have no way to injure him, and he could only defend but not attack, to be exact, when the attack could not take effect. This was won by Yu Chu. And once you change the innate fivefold immortal cultivator, at that time, it's not that you can't attack, don't look at the difference between the innate fourfold and the innate five, but this layer is already a qualitative leap. Even if you don't count the mid-stage and late-stage Innate Fivefold, even if it is an ordinary Innate Fivefold, once it reaches that point, its defense power itself is compared to the Innate Fourfold. There is still a certain increase. With Yu Chu's strength, he can also break the opponent's defense and injure the opponent against the ordinary innate quadruple, and once he is against the innate fivefold. Don't look at it, it only adds one heavy cultivation, but it is precisely because of this heavy cultivation that his ordinary attack. There's no way to hurt your opponent anymore. Unless, of course, he is willing to use a talisman like the Thunder Lightning Flame Golden Sword Talisman. Or the ordinary mutated flame golden sword rune will do. The ordinary mutated flame golden sword talisman can also reach the power of the attack of the innate fourfold cultivator. Even if Chen Laosan's cultivation is much stronger than the ordinary innate quadruple, but when facing the attack of the ordinary innate quadruple, if he is not careful, he will still be injured by the other party. Of course, Chen Laosan's own cultivation is more special, and his own techniques are also biased towards the strength type, with rough skin and thick flesh, and his ability to resist blows is much stronger than the ordinary innate fivefold, which of course must be counted. But no matter what, Chen Laosan didn't practice defensive techniques. Because defensive techniques will not appear until they are at least at the level of occult arts. Of course, among the strange skills, there are many strange skills and strange methods, which can receive defensive effects, such as sonic power, but this kind of strange skills, which are said to be defensive, are actually only defensive functions, not real defensive ones. True defensiveness is passive defense. The sonic power is a strange method that is used when the opponent attacks himself, using the sound wave energy to weaken the opponent's attack step by step, and finally weakening the opponent's attack to a certain extent, resulting in the inability to exert its due power when hitting himself. Therefore, most of the miraculous techniques, although they have a defensive role, are actually not defensive techniques, but use their own special effects to play a role when the attack is about to hit themselves, weaken the opponent's attack, weaken the opponent's attack to a certain extent, cause the attack to weaken, and play a defensive role in disguise.

But no matter what, no matter how much it plays a defensive role, it is not a truly defensive technique. Of course, there are many kinds of strange skills, and sonic power is only one of them, and among the other strange skills, there may not be no real defensive magic methods, but even if there are, most of these strange skills are only auxiliary. For example, some strange skills, there is a special strange method, called Evil Luo Gong, once used, it is like a demon, it instantly goes berserk, and the specific phenomenon that is manifested is that it is instantaneously furious, but the body increases and the skin hardness increases. Accompanied by infinite power. This situation is very similar to some kind of transformation, or the myth and legend of the three heads and six arms. It's just that, to a certain extent, there is a difference, compared with the three heads and six arms, the evil Luo Gong is just a very ordinary strange method, and naturally there is no way to compare it with the special method of three heads and six arms. In terms of power, it is also far from the same. Of course, for immortal cultivators of the Innate Realm, or even at the level of Qi Refiners, even if they have the method of three heads and six arms, there is no way to cultivate. The result of insufficient cultivation and forced cultivation is either that there is no effect, or because the body cannot adapt to the strength of the exercises, it eventually goes mad and dies.

Evil Luo Gong will not, compared with the three heads and six arms, the Evil Luo Gong is just a very ordinary strange technique, and immortal cultivators in the innate realm can cultivate it. After cultivating, in addition to the greatly increased attack ability, its defensive ability was also greatly enhanced. However, the greatly enhanced defensive capability is not the main effect of this exercise. In other words, the enhancement of defensiveness is actually just a special effect brought about by this miraculous technique. This special effect is only one form of the whole practice of the Evil Luo Gong. Therefore, although the Evil Luo Gong has enhanced its defensive ability, it is not a strange method specifically for defensive cultivation. In the final analysis, this strange technique is still an offensive strange technique after all.

This kind of strange technique, compared with the mystic art of Jin Ding Gong, which is specially used for defense, is naturally not at the same level. The defensiveness itself is far from good. But despite this, the strange magic method is a strange method after all, and it is a completely different means from the secret technique, and some special strange skills and strange methods also have a certain defensive effect.

Chen Laosan did not practice the strange skills of the Evil Luo Gong, but even if he did not practice the Evil Luo Gong, due to his own cultivation, he exceeded the beginning too much, especially after the innate fivefold, the upper innate twofold has exceeded a certain level, or just exceeded a certain bottom limit. Innate Double, against the Innate Quadruple, if you attack with all your strength, you can still injure the opponent, and once you reach the difference between the Innate Five, the One, the enhancement of the defensive ability has not seen earth-shaking changes, but even if there is no earth-shaking change, it has exceeded the limit of the ordinary Innate Double Attack ability, resulting in the ordinary Innate Double, there is no way to injure a Congenital Five. On the other hand, Yu Chu's Jin Ding Gong can only really exert its most powerful power when facing the innate quadruple, this kind of innate quadruple cannot be the kind of particularly powerful congenital quadruple, but can only be the general innate quadruple, once this innate quadruple cultivates more powerful offensive means, Yu Chu's Jin Ding Gong can still not resist. It is precisely because Jin Ding Gong has its limits, so when Yu Chu faced the general innate quadruple, although he was able to rely on Jin Ding Gong to block hard, in the end, when the opponent could not hurt himself, and he could hurt the opponent, after a long time, he could grind to death, and finally win.

And once against the immortal cultivators of the innate fivefold realm, since the innate fourfold to the innate fivefold, whether it is in strength or defense, there has been a big leap, this leap just broke through a certain critical point, resulting in Yu Chu's attack, except for special attacks, can not hurt the opponent, and at the same time, Yu Chu's defense has no way to resist the opponent's attack. In this way, the situation is completely reversed compared to when facing the innate fourfold. Therefore, don't look at the first time when facing the Innate Fourfold, you can easily defeat the opponent, but when facing the Innate Fivefold, if you don't use special means, you will be easily defeated by the opponent. And when the Innate Quadruple is facing the Innate Fivefold, the strength it can show is even stronger than that of Yu Chu. That is to say, Yu Chu can defeat the ordinary innate fourfold, but once he faces the general innate fivefold, he will be defeated by the opponent, and the innate fivefold can also defeat the innate fourfold, but when defeating the innate quadruple, it will be more laborious than defeating Yu Chu.

This is the cultivation in action, under normal circumstances, where is the role of cultivation, and it is not even possible to see it, in the face of a special means more, although the cultivation is not as good as himself, but the strength is more powerful than his own immortal cultivators, he is bound to his hands and feet, and he can't exert his due power, but once he faces a more powerful immortal cultivator, the power that he can exert is inferior to his own cultivation, and the special means are more diverse than himself, so that the strength is much stronger than his own immortal cultivators.
