Chapter 6: The Secret History of Cultivation, the Nine Sects of the World
Yan Chixia was slightly surprised when she heard what Zhou Yan said, but her expression did not fluctuate.
"Oh, you didn't even have a master, so you groped your way to cultivate to the realm of transforming gods. It seems that either your qualifications are extraordinary, or your cultivation skills are relatively profound, otherwise, it would be impossible for you to cultivate to this point, and it will be good if you don't go mad and die", Yan Chixia said this, and her hand moved.
"Alas, Yan Daxia, what are you doing here?" Zhou Yan asked strangely.
I saw that Yan Chixia's hands were constantly touching, pinching, pinching, and holding Zhou Yan's chest, back, hands, and legs, and her eyes didn't know where she was looking.
"Shut up, don't be silent!" Yan Chixia ignored Zhou Yan's question, and just yelled at him.
After groping around with Zhou Yan, Yan Chixia stood there and thought for a while, then opened her mouth and said, "I just used my master's method of testing the root bones to perceive it for you. Although, you are not a particularly bad root bone, but it's not that I say something bad, but your root bone qualification is also a relatively mediocre qualification, and you don't have too high cultivation potential. It seems that your cultivation method is a little special. However, I, Yan Chixia, will not do that kind of despicable thing to take away people's exercises, and disdain to do such things, you are so self-conscious, go back and prepare for preparation, if you get rid of the demon, I will inform you, I just hope you have to think about it again, don't bury your good years here, this is my advice to you. โ
Zhou Yan was slightly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect this to be tested, it seems that he still lacks knowledge, he knows too few things, and Sun Wukong in his previous life didn't know anything about this kind of thing at all. As for what Yan Chixia said about withdrawing from this demon eradication, he would never do it, this is not only a dream of his previous life, but also an experience for himself now, if he doesn't even try to face this tree demon, in the future, what reason will he have to become the famous Monkey King in heaven and earth again!
"Yan Daxia, please stay, I still have something to ask Yan Daxia", Zhou Yan saw that Yan Chixia was leaving, and hurriedly shouted.
"Hmm, what else do you have to do?" Yan Chixia turned around and asked.
"That's right. Yan Daxia, I'm sorry, because, even if I have strayed into the path of cultivation, therefore, I don't know much about some things in the cultivation world, so I hope that Yan Daxia will solve my worries and puzzles, and describe the form of the current cultivation world and the difference between sect forces, so that when I go out to walk, I will not be blind. โ
"Okay! Since you and I are destined to meet today, I will tell you, but after all, I have only been down the mountain for about ten years, and I don't know much about the things in the cultivation world", Yan Chixia looked at Zhou Yan's eyes eager for knowledge, her heart softened, and she was not embarrassed to refuse.
It turned out that according to what Yan Chixia said, in the ancient times before the pre-Qin period, there were hundreds of schools of thought among the human race, sublimation, and blooming. Then, due to the unification of the Qin State and the end of the Warring States Rebellion, Qin Shi Huang sat in the court, commanded the world, and unified Kyushu. At that time, in order to consolidate the stability of the imperial power, he issued a ban decree, sent many generals and soldiers under his command to annihilate those famous cultivation sects one by one, and also issued a book burning order, incinerating the collected classics and secret methods one by one, prohibiting anyone from collecting and reading, and recovering the monks of the year one by one, not allowing the Taoist magic to manifest in the world. At that time, everyone was in danger and unwilling to submit to the death and escape of some monks of Qin Shi Huang, and since then, the cultivation world has entered an era of decline.
Then, Qin Shi Huang rampant tyranny, The rule of law of the country, the Qin Dynasty since the death of the second, after the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the Han Gaozu began to pay attention to the monks, in the long history of the Han Dynasty, the practice world gradually has a tendency to recover, in the Eastern Han Dynasty and the end of the Han Dynasty when the Three Kingdoms chaos, the practice world has some Tianzhong talent rise, the practice world began to have a new vitality, with, the Wei and Jin dynasties of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the practice world has gradually had a new scale, but, after all, it has experienced a catastrophe, many secret books in ancient times have been lost, even if there are some Tianzhong materials appeared, but after all, there are only a few peopleใ Therefore, the current cultivation world is no longer the prosperity of the hundred schools of thought in the past.
The monks before the pre-Qin period were all called qi refiners, and almost every one of the qi refiners at that time was a person with great mana and great magical powers, who could be placed alongside immortals, and were known as human immortals. The law of heaven and earth, all the generations of Tengyun, can travel to the North Sea twilight, one day to see all the things in the world, are for the people of leisure, a grandmaster can be equal to the lord of a country, the status of the sons of the hundred schools is even more transcendent, the upper can enter the heavenly court Shinto position, the lower can not be the suffering of the reincarnation of the underworld, and the Biluo Yellow Spring is treated with courtesy. After the pre-Qin period, the path of cultivation declined, and the qi refiner also became a martial artist, although he could still use various mystical techniques such as flying to the sky, sword qi Lingyun, turning stones into gold, and opening mountains and splitting the earth, but he still lost his former demeanor.
Since then, the loneliness of the Dao Fa supernatural powers in the human world has led to the manifestation of the art of refining body martial arts.
However, due to the lessons learned from the Qin Dynasty, the real cultivation sects are now far away from the earthly world, and they have hidden their own mountain gate addresses in the human world, even if the disciples of their own sect are walking in the earthly world, they will not let them easily reveal their identities.
Because there are very few monks in the real god realm in the human world now, they are just some ordinary martial artists, Yan Chixia also saw that Zhou Yan was a monk in the god realm, and mistakenly thought that Zhou Yan was a junior disciple in the sect of the cultivation world, and those who came to the mortal world to carry out the sect's "red dust trial" would easily expose their identity.
The so-called "Red Dust Trial", to put it bluntly, means that when their disciples reach the realm of transformation and cultivation, their cultivation sect sends them down the mountain to travel, take a look at the various states of this world, and comment on the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of this mundane world, so as to hone their own Dao heart and increase their spiritual realm.
You must know that after stepping into the realm of transforming gods, it is really difficult to go further, and the cultivation realm at this time is not only the improvement of the strength of true qi, but also the improvement of one's own three souls and seven spirits into the primordial spirit, which requires the improvement of the spiritual realm and spiritual understanding. At this time, the monk needs to begin to comprehend his own "Dao", the so-called "Thousand Dao, Ten Thousand Laws", only by comprehending his own "Dao", can he become an immortal, feather transcendence, and live forever, otherwise, you will always be just a mortal and the like, and life is just a hundred years in a hurry, and the cycle of life and death is your ultimate destination.
The innate realm and the incarnation realm, don't look at it as just an ordinary dividing line, but between the top and the bottom, this is a world of difference. The difference between cloud and mud, people in the innate realm still belong to the mortal world, even if your martial arts skills are strong, you are only a martial artist, your life span does not increase much, or your life is in a hurry for a hundred years, and it is different when you reach the realm of transforming gods, you are qualified to become a monk, and your life span can be extended to hundreds of years, which is a threshold on the road to becoming an immortal, don't underestimate this threshold, it doesn't know how many cultivators have been stumped, if you don't have qualifications and spiritual roots, then you have nothing to do with the immortal path.
In the current cultivation world, the nine major cultivation sects are the leaders, and the other sects are either small in their own sects, or they lack cultivation or lack of foundation.
These nine major sects are: one of them is the Taizhen Palace on the peak of the high sky Kunlun Mountain. Taizhen Palace has the reputation of "the ox ear of the right way in the world, the authentic method of Kyushu Taoism", the people in Kunlun Taizhen Palace are all aiming at cultivating immortality, the way of the Taoist law of Taizhen Palace, when the practice is profound, you can enter the infinite, swim in the infinite wilderness, and the sun and the moon are in the same light, and the heaven and the earth are constant, people are dead, and I am alone, free in the world and the earth;
The second is the Heavenly Sword Sect on the golden top of the towering Shu Mountain. The Heavenly Sword Sect is the "ancestral court of sword cultivation in the world", everyone in the Heavenly Sword Sect in Shushan is jealous and hateful, and the rules of the Heavenly Sword Sect are to let the disciples take the task of killing demons and eliminating harm for the people.
Third, it is for the magnificent view of the five villages in the cave of Wanshou Mountain. The disciples of Wuzhuang Guan practice the techniques of the five elements of the world and pursue the five elements of truth. There is a natural spiritual root born from heaven and earth - ginseng fruit tree, which blooms once every 3,000 years, bears fruit once every 3,000 years, and matures after another 3,000 years. In 10,000 years, only thirty were born. Those who are destined to smell it will live to be 360 years old, and if they eat one, they will live to live for 47,000 years.
Fourth, it is the Xiantong Temple on the spiritual cliff of the ancient Wutai Mountain. Xiantong Temple has the Buddha rhyme of "Great Circle Mirror Wisdom, Wonderful Observation Wisdom, Equal Wisdom, Wisdom of Perfection, Wisdom of the Dharma Realm", and has the name of "Little West Heaven" in the cultivation world, enshrines the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the Western Elysium, and is the gathering place of Buddhist monks in the cultivation world.
Fifth, it is the Shangqing Gate in the mysterious Maoshan blessed land. Shangqing Gate practice the method of refining corpses and driving corpses, Shangqing Gate people take zombies as companions, and also take zombies as friends, which is despised by people in the cultivation world, but the strength of the zombies controlled by Shangqing Gate is unfathomable, and Shangqing Gate has always hidden their whereabouts, so the strength of Shangqing Gate cannot be underestimated;
Sixth, it is a positive sect on the top of the Guifeng of Danxia Longhu Mountain. The people of the Zhengyi sect pay attention to the hard work of cultivating the Tao, "each in his own place", in order to achieve the ideal of "governing the country and making peace". Disciples are required to abide by the precepts of "loyalty and filial piety, good deeds and accumulation of virtue", and "follow the commandments, accumulate goodness and success, accumulate essence into gods, and become immortals". Zhengyizong is also known as the "Heavenly Master's Mansion", all because after the people of Zhengyizong descended the mountain, most of them entered the court for training and became the heavenly master and the national teacher;
Seventh, it is the Jixia Mansion next to the waterfall of Taoyuan Jiugong Mountain. Jixia Mansion is said to be inherited from the ancient times of Confucianism and Taoism holy place - Jixia School Palace, the people in its house are knowledgeable, Confucianism and Taoism practitioners, good at cultivating Haoran righteousness. The style of study: to establish righteousness first to distinguish good from evil, to achieve all actions, to think to save the original, to observe or stick to things and images for blind obedience, wisdom and faith law has been constant obedience; the same but different, learn but not learn, fight but not fight, fixed but not indefinite, etc.
Eighth, it is the Sanskrit Nunnery in the prosperous realm of Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea. Fanyin Nunnery is known as "the first Buddha country of Aurora" in the practice world, and enshrines the Dharma sculpture of the Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is said to be the dojo where Guanyin Bodhisattva walks in the world. The Buddha's principle is that "may all sentient beings, if they read me, call me by my name, and see me, they will be free from all fears, and that they will never retreat from all fears, and that they will never retreat from the three bodhichittas."
The ninth, is the Miaozhen Pavilion on the Dan Cliff of Baiyue Qiyun Mountain.

Doctrinally, emphasizing the reference to the meaning of "truth" and "transformation", and advocating the use of Dan Tao theories and natural medicinal materials such as "heart fasting", "keeping one", "sitting and forgetting", "Chao Che", "pranayama" and "concentrating on the mind", to achieve the purpose of prolonging life, the unity of heaven and man, and the feather into immortals.
