Chapter 7: Cultivating the Immortal Realm
Early the next morning, Shen Cheng got up early.
Today is a big day for him, and it is the beginning of his official apprenticeship and immortality. You can't make the immortal master feel that he is a lazy waste material!
I am still in my heart because of the "spiritual root" last night, I hope the immortal master's mood is already better at this time!
Pushing open the door of the stone room and walking out, he saw that the immortal master was still sitting at the stone table in a daze, and he didn't know what this little old man was thinking about.
"Could it be that the immortal master hasn't slept all night?" Shen Cheng was even more puzzled, but he didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, disturbing the immortal master's thoughts. He touched his forehead, gently walked to the stone table and stood still, drooping his head and waiting quietly.
After a while, the little old man turned his head and looked at Shen Cheng with a strange look, as if he wanted to find some answer in him, which made Shen Cheng even more worried!
After a long time, the people of the world spoke: "Shen Cheng, today the old man will officially accept you as an apprentice." ”
As soon as he heard this, Shen Cheng raised his head, resisted the urge to jump up with joy, and hurriedly knelt down on his knees and said, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”
Then he knocked his head three times.
"Hmm!"
The little old man nodded with satisfaction, got up and helped Shen Cheng up, and said with a serious expression: "In the future, you have to follow the teacher and practice the Dao Fa hard, and you must not live up to the expectations of the teacher and delay your own future!"
"Please rest assured, the disciple should practice hard and will not be lazy, if the master does not like it, please ask the master to punish him! Although Shen Cheng stood up, he still clasped his hands in his fists and said respectfully.
After listening to Shen Cheng's words, the little old man finally showed a little smile on his face, and then motioned Shen Cheng to put his hand down, turned around and sat on the stone bench, twisted his beard and said slowly: "The teacher's name is Yu Xiuran, known as 'Tongshi Sanren', he has been in this Jinxia Mountain for many years, concentrating on the Taoism, you are the only disciple who has been accepted for the teacher in this life." ”
Speaking of this, the little old man continued with a little gloom: "If you want to be a teacher for this life, you can only wander in the current realm and have no possibility of advancement, I hope you can go further than being a teacher, and one day you can achieve success, and even become an immortal!"
The expression on the little old man's face became a little unnatural! Isn't this a lie to a child to take out and deceive himself? Hey!
"Master, what is considered a great avenue, aren't you an immortal?" Shen Cheng didn't care about Master's strange expression and asked curiously.
How amazing were the two magic techniques that the little old man performed yesterday, they weren't considered a success?
"Hey, hey, of course not, there is a difference between the teacher and the immortals! Since you want to cultivate immortals, you should know some common sense in this immortal cultivation world, so as not to be ridiculed when you go out in the future! Come on, come on, apprentice, listen to the teacher tell you about the things in this immortal cultivation world. The little old man listened to Shen Cheng's question, changed back to the appearance of a hippie smile, casually pointed to a stone bench beside him, and began to tell him some things about the immortal cultivation world.
It turns out that the level of cultivating immortals can be roughly divided into three major realms or twelve small realms.
The three realms actually refer to the interface that immortal cultivators can reach as their cultivation improves. And this interface is usually divided into the human world, the spirit world and the fairy world.
The twelve small realms are divided according to the cultivator's own cultivation, namely: melting qi, building the foundation, knotting the dan, the yuan infant, the distraction, the combination, the cave void, the Mahayana, the scattered immortals, the true immortals, the Xuan immortals and the golden immortals.
And the big and small realms also correspond to each other.
And from the beginning of the Qi Melting Period, every time a monk ascends to his own realm, the longevity will double.
For example, during the Qi Melting Period, this period is only considered the introductory stage of leisure, so the longevity of a monk in this realm is about the same as that of a mortal, and he will live to be one hundred and eighty years old at most; If the foundation is successfully built, then at least one or two hundred years of yang longevity will be increased; if there are all kinds of elixirs to help, it is not impossible to reach the realm of knotting the pill by chance, and it is not impossible to live for six or seven hundred years; if it is really that a very small number of immortal cultivators with deep blessings condense the Yuan Infant and enter the Yuan Infant Period, then the age will be counted to thousands of years! Moreover, some Yuan Infant Monks are nourished by the elixir spirit fruit that prolongs their life, and Jing can live to be 1,7800 years old, then it can really be regarded as an old immortal human spirit.
Immortal cultivators in the human realm can ascend to the spirit realm and continue to cultivate through some means.
If the Yuanying Cultivator really had a great opportunity to cultivate to the stage of distraction, but had not yet found a way to ascend to the Upper Realm, then he could basically only wait to sit and melt away! Because the aura of the human realm was so thin that it was impossible for the cultivators in the distraction period to replenish the lost vitality in time, it would be impossible for them to continue to advance! Through the attempts of the high-level immortal cultivators of the human realm, no monk had yet cultivated to the realm of merger in the human realm!
"Then, Master, what realm have you cultivated to?" Shen Cheng asked a little nervously.
The little old man was slightly stunned when Shen Cheng interrupted his words, smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly: "The qualifications for the teacher are dull, but they are only worthy of the mid-stage cultivation of the foundation! ”
"Isn't building a foundation just building a foundation? Is there anything else to divide into before, middle and back? Then what about your high life now?" Shen Cheng asked the latter sentence and felt that something was a little inappropriate, how could he speak like this? Isn't this an obvious question about how many years the master can live? If you are not sensible, you really should be beaten! He secretly stuck out his tongue.
"As a teacher, I have already passed the age of 100. "Fortunately, the people of the world didn't care, and they didn't think so.
Shen Cheng's heart finally let go, and secretly warned himself that he would have to think twice about what he said and did in the future!
The little old man continued, the initial realm of cultivating immortals was divided into nine stages, which can also be said to be nine layers, which was consistent with the description that Shen Cheng saw in that book yesterday! From the beginning of the foundation building period to the cave void period of the spirit realm, each realm was divided into three stages: the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage of the Great Perfection.
If an immortal cultivator in the upper realm has really cultivated to the Mahayana period, then there is no need to divide it into small stages, just wait for the "thunder tribulation" to come! If you survive this heavenly punishment of thunder tribulation, then you can soar to the immortal realm and become immortals, and live the same life as heaven and earth. So in fact, between the Mahayana period and the scattered immortals, there should be a "tribulation period", but it is not considered a realm, so it is not ranked in the realm!
Shen Cheng broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the word "Heavenly Punishment and Thunder Tribulation"! He thought to himself, if he was really hit by the heavenly thunder, it would be strange if he had to be crushed to pieces!
The next sentence of the little old man made Shen Cheng a little confused: "Since the spiritual realm is more abundant than the human realm, as long as the upper realm cultivators can cultivate to the merger period, in fact, it can barely be said that the longevity is infinite." ”
"What? Isn't it true that only immortals have an infinite longevity?"Cultivation to the merging period can lead to an infinite longevity?" Shen Cheng asked again with a slight suspicion!
"Hehe, you can say that, but it's not easy to live for a long time!" the little old man glanced at Shen Cheng with a smile, as if to say that you don't understand this, right?
