Chapter 40: Longevity
Wang Wanyu came to his cave mansion, and sure enough, as Elder Huang said, the aura inside was far from being comparable to that of the miscellaneous servants. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Bai Chun'er also chose the nearest cave mansion to him, saying that it was the closest, but in fact, it was more than a mile away, and he was at least two miles away from Yuefei's cave mansion, and Xiaotian and Ling Fei's cave mansion were a little farther away.
As soon as Wang Wanyu entered the cave, he couldn't wait to open the Immortal Sutra against the sky, and read the method of immortality hungrily, after reading the first verse, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, it turned out that the words of that verse were like this:
"If you want to live forever, you need to die first! The old self is mortal skin, mortal bones, mortal tendons, mortal blood, mortal essence, mortal qi, mortal soul. A new self, a new skin, a new bone, a new tendon, a new blood, a new essence, a new qi, a new soul.
Peel off its skin, break its bones, cramp its tendons, drain its blood, exhaust its essence, disperse its qi, destroy its soul, put it to death, go from death to life, get rid of the mortal and enter the holy, how many people can achieve it since ancient times?"
Only then did Wang Wanyu realize that what Xiaotian said before was true, this anti-heaven immortal sutra was indeed an extremely dangerous cultivation, and it was necessary to wipe out the old self in order to gain immortality.
Of course, it is impossible to erase it all at once, but to proceed in turn, with a total of seven realms, namely longevity skin, longevity bones, longevity tendons, longevity blood, longevity essence, longevity anger, and longevity soul.
Each layer of the realm needs to go through a tempering of nine deaths and a lifetime, such as the longevity skin, which has to go through the tests of fire, ice, poison and heavy blows, first baking the skin with a simmering fire, and then scorching it with medium fire, blazing fire, earth fire, and sky fire.
After passing the test of fire, the skin is frozen with ordinary ice water, thousand-year cold ice, and nether ice.
After passing the test of ice, and then erode their skin with various poisons, when the poison does not invade, and then hit the skin with various sharp weapons and blunt objects, over time, the body will naturally produce a diaphragm to protect themselves, and when this layer of diaphragm is becoming more and more complete, the original skin will automatically fall off, and the diaphragm will replace the original skin and become an immortal skin.
Since the immortal skin has undergone all kinds of cruel tempering, it is naturally free from all injuries, and because it is extremely difficult to generate, the vitality is also extremely tenacious and long-lasting, and when cultivated to the extreme, it is naturally immortal. This is like the pine and cypress that grows in the ice and snow, and its solidity and survivability are by no means comparable to the flowers in the greenhouse.
The immortal skin is only the first layer of the realm, and it is so difficult to cultivate, and the cultivation of the next six layers of the realm is even more cruel, it is simply inhumane and miserable, if the cultivation method is slightly out of control, it is possible to die before the cultivation is completed at any time, so Xiao Tian said that the disciples who cultivated the Immortal Life Sutra against the sky are dead, this is by no means alarmist.
Wang Wanyu saw such a cold-blooded and ruthless cultivation method, and immediately hesitated, if he couldn't cultivate, not only would he not be able to resurrect his parents, but his own life would also be taken, was this - is it worth it?
However, when he thought of the kindness of his parents to him, and thought that if he couldn't live forever, life would be meaningless after all, he finally strengthened his belief in cultivation: since if he didn't cultivate, he would die of old age sooner or later, but there was a glimmer of hope for immortality in cultivation, so even if this glimmer of hope was slim, it would be better than surviving in the world.
Thinking of this, he immediately went out of the cave, picked up some pine branches everywhere, and immediately lit a fire, stripped all the clothes off his body, and set it on fire.
Soon, he was already sweating profusely, and his skin was as painful as a knife, but he tried his best to hold on, half a stick of incense, half an hour...... Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer, his skin had been roasted by the pine fire, exuding a smell of burnt paste, and his face was originally very fair, but now, it was already a purple sauce, like bacon being roasted.
Although his skin was painful, there was a faint trace of inexplicable excitement in his heart, after all, he had taken the first step on the road to immortality, and he believed that as long as he persevered, a miracle would definitely happen.
In this way, Wang Wanyu enthusiastically devoted himself to the cultivation of the Immortal Sutra against the Heavens, and after three months, he had been able to roast on the edge of the fire for three hours, and faintly, he felt that there were some qi machines swimming under his skin, creating life, as if there was an invisible diaphragm, which was slowly forming.
He knew that this was not enough, and only when he jumped into the flames and let the flames scorch unharmed, could he enter the next step of cultivation, which was to bake his skin with the fire of the earth.
He went out more and more often, and every time he came back, he brought back large bundles of dry firewood, and the fire in his cave became bigger and bigger, and the temperature became higher and higher, and in the end, almost the entire cave was blazing, and the monks who passed through here all fled quickly, and they could not stand the heat outside the cave.
Gradually, the entire outer gate heard about the strangeness in Wang Wanyu's cave mansion, and speculation arose for a while:
"Have you heard, that Wang Wanyu, who is the first in Dabi, has only done one thing since he arrived at the outer gate, that is, to go to the mountains and carry bundles of dry firewood into the cave, and then he will not be out of the door for several days, what kind of fame is he doing inside?"
"What kind of fame? Do you still need to ask? The temperature in his cave is like purgatory all day long, it is estimated that he has some kind of damp and cold disease, and he needs to constantly light a fire to keep warm!"
"No way! He must be practicing some kind of evil kung fu, this kind of kung fu, he must burn himself with a blazing fire, otherwise he will not be able to practice. ā
"By the way, I heard that there is a kind of kung fu called the Immortal Sutra against the Heavens, and the first step is to burn his skin with fire, did he choose this exercise to cultivate?"
"Immortal Skill Against the Heavens? God, is he tired of being crooked? Since the establishment of my Phoenix Sect, no one has been able to practice this skill, even if it is the Fuyaozi Patriarch, who has reached the peak of the Dao Dao, he has only practiced to the third level, and all the other monks who practice this skill have died tragically halfway through, and this exercise has become the bane that everyone avoids, I can't imagine that Wang Wanyu actually chose this exercise, even if he is talented, but it is estimated that he will not be able to escape the tragic death halfway!"
In the end, Yuefei also heard about this incident, it was the wren who told her that the wren could no longer bear to be scorched by the fire in Wang Wanyu's cave all day long, in order to avoid Wang Wanyu, it painted his cave mansion as a scene of purgatory on earth:
"Sister Yuefei, don't you know, the fire in his cave is burning all day long, his skin is scorched, and the smell of burnt paste chokes me and Brother Hei can hardly open our eyes, and he is also roasted to the point that he is covered in oil, it is simply a suckling pig roasted by fire, I really can't stand him, I want to come back to accompany you, never go back." ā
Yuefei almost got goosebumps all over her body when she heard this, and finally, on this day, she decided to go to Wang Wanyu's cave mansion to see what was going on.
