Chapter 5 Difficulties in Building a Foundation
To the west of Xu Chuanzhi's home, there is a small col surrounded by mountains, which is deep and secluded, and few people come and go. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At this time, it was the moon on the branch, and Li Xiang was sitting under a thick ancient tree, sitting in a prostrated Vajra position, a posture that he had maintained for five days.
For five days, he did not eat rice and water, and remained motionless, even if a few leaves fell on his head, and there was a lump of bird droppings.
However, this is almost the limit, although the spirit is still strong, but the weak body is already emaciated, and it is constantly passing on protests such as "pain, tiredness", and it is obvious that it is almost impossible to support it.
He closed his eyes and smiled wryly, never expecting that the little foundation would be so difficult.
Ever since he found out that he had a Xuanming Water Body that day, he couldn't sit still anymore, ignoring Song Shu's worries about his body, and couldn't wait to take the path of cultivating immortals again. Moreover, the thought that his path to rebirth might still be full of battles gave him a sense of urgency that cultivation was imperative.
The most basic thing is, of course, to find a quiet place and build a foundation first.
Under the influence of Song Shu, he felt the warmth of a mother, and the pain in his body gradually disappeared, and when his body improved slightly, he walked around the back of the house, looking for a secluded place, and it was best to choose a hidden and open environment to build a foundation, which was conducive to the attraction of aura.
However, although this mountain village is small, it is full of traces of modern artificiality, and almost all the places that can be cultivated have been cultivated, and even a few hills are terraced fields with rice stubble left over after harvesting, which seriously destroys the harmony of the environment.
In particular, the modern reservoir, the imposing dam built of cold reinforced concrete, is beautiful, but it is really not suitable for cultivation, and it is very easy to be disturbed by the coming and going of people.
I barely found this small col surrounded by mountains, although there is still an iron tower with a power line next to it, but fortunately, there are generally no people.
couldn't wait any longer, the temptation of Xuan Ming's body continued to torment Li Xiang's nerves, and then asked the kind "Uncle Xu Chuanzhi" to help take care of the surroundings and put an end to pedestrians, so he sat down cross-legged.
When Li Xiangzheng'er put on a cultivation sitting posture, Xu Chuanzhi was quite shocked and a little in awe. Isn't this kid thrown down by the immortals because of his lack of qualifications, looking at the posture of sitting cross-legged and lowering his eyebrows, does he really know how to be immortal?
Since he decided to stay in the Xu family to experience the life of the human world, he did not plan to practice behind Xu Chuanzhi's back, and after a few days of contact, he found that this kind uncle who "took in" himself was not surprised by the matter of cultivation, and it seemed that he had been in contact.
Sitting still, Li Xiang was familiar with the operation of the three thousand years of practice, which was deeply imprinted in his soul - the foundation building chapter of the Great Star Pulling Technique.
Speaking of cultivating immortals, we have to introduce the cultivation process that immortal cultivation has to go through.
There are three thresholds for cultivating immortals, the first is to build a foundation, which is the foundation of the road to cultivating immortals.
The second threshold is to enter the stage of opening up the sea of understanding after passing through the stars. The so-called understanding of the sea is the source of strength for high-level immortal cultivators, and only by opening up their own understanding of the sea can they be regarded as the first glimpse of the path of cultivating immortals. There are nine realms in the understanding of the sea, which are the Three Ming Realms (Red Tomorrow, Xuan Tomorrow, Yao Tomorrow), the Three Qing Realms (Yuqing Heaven, Shangqing Heaven, Taiqing Heaven), and the Three Extreme Realms (Shao Extreme Heaven, Taiji Heaven, and Wuji Heaven), each of which is divided into three levels, primary, intermediate and peak.
And the third threshold is the bright tomorrow of the three tomorrows. One realm, one calamity, 10,000 years ago, as long as you survive the Yaotian Tribulation, you can fly to the Xuan Immortal Realm.
The first three realms belong to the human immortals, which is the ultimate power of the human immortal cultivation world, and the middle three realms belong to the Xuan Immortals, which is the power composition of the Xuan Immortal Realm, as for the last three realms, that is, the legendary Golden Immortal, the existence that can create a world, since ancient times, there is only Taijia alone, such a realm is incomprehensible for other levels, the universe is so big, there is nowhere to go.
At that time, Li Xiang was the first person to stop at the peak of Taiqing Heaven, known as the first person after Taijia, and he was the immortal cultivator who was most likely to break through the Sanqing Realm and enter the third-level realm in hundreds of millions of years, except for the ancestor Taijia. And the Xuantian Palace he founded was named after the Three Qings and Nine Xuantians.
The so-called foundation building in the first step is actually to cast the second life, so you need to plant a seed in the lower dantian, that is, the three stages of foundation building, which are divided into three steps: sensing star power, attracting stars into the body, and condensing the star core.
The so-called star power, in fact, is the aura, everywhere between heaven and earth, it is the power of Zhou Tian Xingdou, which has been produced since the beginning of the universe, and it has existed forever. It is also composed of the power of five attributes: the power of green wood, the power of black Xuanshui, the power of white sharp gold, the power of red fire and the power of yellow earth. Of course, the power of the Xuanshui and the power of the fire here have nothing to do with the two Chaos Forces, and they are not the same.
When building a foundation, you can choose which power to introduce to build the foundation according to the attributes of the body and your understanding of power.
It is because he is lucky to have the Xuanming Water Body, of course, Li Xiang chooses the power of green green wood, aquatic wood, the two are mutually restrictive, and the vitality is inexhaustible.
The Great Star Pulling Technique only ran for one week, and he easily completed the first two steps: he sensed the star power that was everywhere in the universe, and at the same time, it was also smoothly absorbed into the body and stored in the lower dantian.
These two processes, that is, between breaths, are completed in a few minutes. That's because he used to be a high Xuan Realm Immortal, and of course it is easy to take the path of cultivation again, just like asking a high school student how much one plus one is equal.
But whether it was the Immortal Cultivation Realm 10,000 years ago, or the Cultivation Realm now hidden among the famous mountains and rivers, there are countless people who spend years, or even decades, in the foundation building stage. Sensing star power, attracting stars into the body, and condensing the star core, each stage requires perseverance and wisdom. Even in the later stages of refining, transforming the gods, and returning to the void, the bones of countless cultivators have fallen at each stage, and the cultivators who can persist to the point of star-ignition of the star soul and open up the realm of knowledge of the sea are none in ten thousand, which shows the difficulty of the road to immortality.
Even if Li Xiang had been practicing for three thousand years and knew the path of cultivating immortals well, it was not so smooth, and when he started the third stage, condensing the star core, he was dumbfounded.
Because, every time he ran the astrological technique for a week, the aura introduced was only a trace of it, and it was mixed with many impurities, and there was always some strange smell in the air. After Zhou Tian ran and washed the meridians and cut the marrow, the essence left in the dantian was already ineffective. At this rate, how long and in what month will it take to condense the star core?
He didn't understand why the star power of the Immortal Cultivation Realm 10,000 years ago had become so thin as it is now, could it be the sequelae of the collapse of the Xuan Immortal Realm?
However, he understood why the cultivators, who had always been high, had changed their minds and chose to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and their roots were here.
In such a harsh environment, let alone cultivation, being able to maintain cultivation without regression is considered to be talented. It is right that Hi Gang's parents do not let their children practice, and the prodigy will not be able to cultivate famously.
Li Xiang smiled bitterly in his heart, he still has to pass this level in front of him!
Because the foundation building needs to immerse the soul in the dantian, based on this, mix the introduced aura, copy a soul seed, with the continuous thickening of the introduction of star power, and then gradually wrap a layer of substantial aura shell outside the seed, with the continuous thickening of the introduction of star power, the shell is completely closed, condensed into a small ball, this is the star soul with the second life, at this time the foundation is completed.
Therefore, this process is quite dangerous, and there can be no disturbance, even the slightest disturbance may lead to the failure of foundation building, at least the soul is injured, and at the worst the nervous disorder and becomes a wasted person.
Now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and the aura absorbed is not enough to form a seed, so he does not dare to immerse his soul in the dantian, and his body functions are constantly weakening, and the hunger stimulates his spirit, and he does not dare to move a little, so he can only run the exercises over and over again in a boring way.
The sun rises and sets, and five days have passed in a hurry.
Fortunately, his spirit is already an old ghost spanning three thousand years, and he can still endure some torture, and gradually, gathering his armpits into a fur, he finally formed a needle-sized seed in the dantian, and at the same time immersed his soul in it, and immediately closed the six senses and turned into nothingness.
This time is even more dangerous, he has no perception of the outside world at all, like a statue that anyone can manipulate at will.
Fortunately, there have always been people who protect the Dharma.
On the top of the mountain not far away, Xu Chuanzhi was lying behind a stone with a military high-powered telescope, slightly exposing half of his head, condescendingly observing the surroundings of the valley, also motionless.
As a Bajiquan grandmaster-level master, Xu Chuanzhi knows that the path of cultivation is dangerous and should not be disturbed, no matter whether this kid is really cultivating immortals, or pretending, he has to eliminate external disturbances for Li Xiang.
After about a few minutes, Old Man Xu kept his torso still, took a few steps back on all fours, then got up, bent down and quickly sneaked to a tent in the shade of the tree in front of him. Due to his successful practice, his movements were as swift as a civet cat, and he did not make the slightest sound.
After this action, there was excitement in excitement, as if returning to the era of iron-blooded war, leading scouts deep behind enemy lines to kill in and out.
He cleverly simulated a bird's call, quietly opened the tent, and got inside. Then his lowered voice sounded, and he said, "Old Song, the little guy is still cultivating, and he doesn't move at all!"
It turned out that Song Shu was also here, in the tent, she was fiddling with this set of insulated lunch boxes, only to hear her also lower her voice and say: "Lao Xu, you said that this child has not eaten for five days and five nights, if he is hungry, what should I do, his small body is thin and tight!"
Xu Chuanzhi sat down with a grin, took his wife's hand, and said close to her ear: "Didn't I tell you those legends about the immortal family, this kid seems to have obtained some kind of immortal method, and he is practicing immortal arts, which is different from us ordinary people, so you can relax." ā
When he was finished, he muttered: "It's really **** luck, why didn't I be so lucky back then!" After speaking, he showed a gesture of fascination, which caused Song Shu to be dissatisfied for a while.
Then he didn't seem to be at ease, and specially told his lover, saying: "Old Song, I know that you pity this child, it's okay for us to take him in, but since he is an immortal cultivator, it can't be calculated by common sense." According to my speculation, the more capable people are, the more eccentric, these people must be moody, acting entirely according to personal preferences, coupled with their strong strength, the laws of this world cannot bind them at all. In the future, you must be cautious when you treat this Li Xiang, and pay more attention, you know?"
Song Shu nodded casually, she didn't listen to it at all, when the "mother" called out, she couldn't stop the mother's love that had been silent for many years.
After being silent for a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Lao Xu, do you think it is possible for us to ......?"
After nearly 30 years of husband and wife, they have already had a clear heart, and Old Man Xu smiled bitterly: "My good wife, it is already very dangerous to keep him here, and you still want to adopt him? This is a time bomb, we can't afford to wait!"
Song Shu was very unimpressed by this, she could obviously feel the child's attachment to her, she didn't care if she was immortal or not, she only knew that the child was very small, weak, and needed the love of her parents, so she became worried again, and then said: "Is it really okay not to eat for five days?" Lao Xu, why don't we send the food over quietly?"
Xu Chuanzhi was shocked, and hurriedly grabbed his wife's hand, and said, "Don't, his cultivation now is a critical time, and it may go wrong in the past, so you must not disturb ......"
Just as he was about to speak, the roar of thunder and lightning suddenly sounded outside. It's already autumn, where did the thunder and lightning come from? Old man Xu thought of a possibility, and hurriedly said to Song Shu: "There may be a new situation on the child's side, I'll go investigate, don't you move, do you hear?"
After speaking, Xu Chuanzhi picked up the binoculars, and also bent his waist, crawled to the side of the big rock, and quietly observed.
At this glance, the changes in the valley really stunned him.
