readx; Shen Zhoutian sorted out his thoughts and began to explain: The so-called way of cultivating the truth is, to put it bluntly, to use the aura of heaven and earth to transform the human body, improve one's own essence, qi, and spirit, in order to reach a higher realm. The path of cultivation www.biquge.info can be divided into the following eight realms from low to high, such as the Spiritual Attraction Period, the Spirit Seed Period, the Jindan Period, the Yuan Infant Period, the Out-of-Body Period, the Dharma Phase Period, the Cave Void Period, and the Human Immortals. Each major realm is further subdivided into three small realms according to the degree of completion: the early stage, the middle stage, and the late stage.

The first great realm is the spiritual introduction period, as the name suggests, the spiritual introduction period is to introduce the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the body, initially transform the body, and form a cyclone composed of spiritual energy in the dantian. The monks of the Spiritualization Period can already use magic weapons and low-level spells, but in essence, they are still mortals, and the primordial spirit cannot leave the body independently, so the monks of the Spiritualization Period will die like mortals if they are fatally injured in the body.

The second great realm is the spirit seed stage, the cyclone of the monk dantian in the spirit introduction period grows to the limit, and the mana will liquefy, and finally give birth to the spirit seed. The spirit seed period is the watershed between monks and mortals, and the advanced spirit seed period can be regarded as truly entering the door of cultivation, and the physical body and the original spirit have been qualitatively improved, and the longevity has doubled, reaching more than two hundred years old. The vitality of the spirit seed stage monk is greatly enhanced, and even if the body is seriously injured, it will not die immediately, and it can be repaired through spells and elixirs.

Even if the physical injury is so serious that it cannot be treated, you can still leave the original spirit and take the body of others to be reborn, which is the so-called seizure. Of course, there is also a great risk to the caster himself, and there are many inconveniences to the body of the caster, even if it is a way to survive in death, as long as there is another choice, the monk generally will not choose to take it.

The third great realm is the Jindan period, the spirit seed in the monk dantian of the Jindan period is solidified, formed into a golden pill, and the mana is greatly increased, and various magic weapons and high-level spells can be used, and the power is very different from the spirit seed period, and the longevity has doubled again, reaching more than four hundred years.

The fourth great realm is the Yuan Infant Period, after the monk Jindan is consummated, if he can break through the powerful bottleneck, it will attract thunder tribulation, if the monk can survive the thunder tribulation, the Jin Dan will be broken, turn into the Yuan Infant, and reach the Yuan Infant Period.

Yuan Ying is a combination of Yuan Shen and Jing Yuan, which can leave the body for a short time and has all kinds of incredible magical powers. The monk Shou Yuan of the Yuan Infant Stage is more than a thousand years old, and he can exert the great supernatural power of the mountains and seas with a single move, and the mana is far from being comparable to the Jindan period monks.

As for the four great realms of the out-of-body period, the Dharma phase period, the cave void period, and the human immortal, no one has been able to reach them since ancient times, and the monks only know these realms through some jade slips left over from ancient times, what is going on, and now few people in the cultivation realm can explain clearly. In short, the highest cultivator in the cultivation realm is now in the Yuan Infant Stage.

Why can't the cultivators of the Cultivation Realm reach the last four great realms now? The specific reason is unknown. However, through those jade slips left over from the ancients, the monks vaguely guessed that the ancient times did not know what kind of great changes had taken place in the heavens and the earth, causing all the ancient monks to disappear from this world at the same time. At the same time, the environment between heaven and earth also underwent drastic changes, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth collapsed and became unsuitable for the survival of living beings. After the great changes in heaven and earth, most of the races in the world disappeared, and only the human race and the beast race persevered by relying on their huge numbers and amazing reproductive ability.

I don't know how many years have passed, the aura of heaven and earth in the world has slowly recovered somewhat, and for the human race, another catastrophe has come. The disappearance of all the ancient monks caused both the human and demon clans to break off the inheritance of cultivation. The unique bloodline inheritance of the beast clan allowed some of the beasts to learn to swallow the aura of heaven and earth without a teacher, and this part of the beasts evolved rapidly, and new demon beasts soon appeared. On the other hand, although the human race has also found some foundation building exercises left over from ancient times, it is a pity that the environment of heaven and earth has undergone great changes, making the concentration of heaven and earth aura in the world much worse than that of ancient times. The newly emerged demon beasts led the beasts to launch a war of extermination against the human race, and the mortals fought against the demon beasts, and the result can be imagined, the human race struggled to resist, but unfortunately the disaster of extermination was almost inevitable.

Fortunately, God bless the human race, the first monk of the Heavenly Spiritual Root appeared, and he relied on his anti-heavenly spiritual root qualifications to take the first step of cultivating the truth now, and reopened the door of cultivation. After opening the door of cultivation, this person modified the ancient foundation building exercises according to his own experience in the process of cultivating the truth, and the modified foundation building exercises can attract more spiritual energy, so that people with worse spiritual root qualifications can cultivate. Soon there were many monks who could compete with demon beasts, and the Terrans avoided annihilation, and after tens of thousands of years of war, the Terrans finally regained control of the world.

This legendary figure in the cultivation world is Lei Tian, the founding patriarch of Zhongzhou Taishimen. The selflessness of Lei Tian Ancestor not only enabled the human bloodline to continue, but also created the prosperity of the modern cultivation realm. And the Taishimen he founded has also become the dominant giant in the cultivation world, and it has not fallen for tens of thousands of years.

Because the foundation building exercises of the various major sects in the cultivation world are all improved and evolved from the foundation building exercises of Lei Tian Ancestor, there is a saying in the modern cultivation world that "the cultivation of the truth in the world is the beginning".

The so-called foundation building exercise refers to the practice used to attract the aura of heaven and earth into the human body, and then guide the aura of heaven and earth to run in the meridians according to a certain route, purify the aura of heaven and earth in the process of operation, and finally introduce the purified aura of heaven and earth into the dantian, turning the essence into the essence, and using it to improve its own realm.

The realm is the foundation of all spells and supernatural powers, so the monks call the exercises that specifically improve the realm as foundation building exercises. There is also a class of exercises that are different from the foundation building exercises, and there is also a type of exercises, which are called spell exercises. How to say it?The foundation building technique allows you to gain mana, and the spell technique can make your mana exert the maximum effect, mainly to improve the use of mana.

The spells of monks of the same level are similar, and the main thing to do when fighting is to use mana skills, and a set of spell techniques that are suitable for you may allow you to win the battle. Of course, this refers to the fact that when the realms of the two sides are similar, if the realm gap is too large, the magic exercises will be meaningless. For example, a primordial infant monk can blow a spirit seed monk to death by blowing his breath, and in this case, any spell exercises are meaningless.

"However, the phrase 'the world cultivates the truth and comes out of the beginning', but it does not include this sect. Speaking of this, Shen Zhoutian's eyebrows showed a proud look. Shen Zhoutian said with some reverence: "This sect's foundation-building technique "Cloud Dream Spiritual Skill" was created by the Eastern Ancestor, and it has nothing to do with Taishimen. ”

The cultivation realm distinguishes the merits of a set of foundation-building exercises, which is based on the amount of heaven and earth aura that this set of exercises can induce. At present, the first foundation-building exercise recognized by the cultivation world is the "Taishi Zhen Yigong" of Taishimen.

However, the Oriental patriarch is extremely talented and has seen people, and he does not agree with this view. The Eastern Patriarch found that in the process of cultivation, the ability of modern monks to impact the bottleneck of cultivation has greatly decreased, not to mention those big bottlenecks that break through the big realm, even the small bottlenecks that improve the small realm are also extremely difficult to break through.

The bottleneck of cultivation is an invisible resistance that separates the realms. When a monk runs the foundation building exercises, he can accumulate mana to the dantian and improve his cultivation progress. However, if you want to advance to the next stage, you must break through the cultivation bottleneck, otherwise no matter how many times you run the foundation building exercises, you will no longer be able to accumulate mana to the dantian. The cultivation bottleneck that breaks through the big realm is called the big bottleneck, and the cultivation bottleneck that breaks through the small realm is called the small bottleneck, and the intensity of the big bottleneck is far greater than the small bottleneck.

However, according to records, these small bottlenecks almost did not exist in the cultivation process of ancient monks, and only when they broke through the great realm did they need to break through the bottleneck of cultivation.

After research, Dongfang Ancestor found that the reason for this phenomenon was not that the strength of the bottleneck in the cultivation process had increased, but that the ability of modern monks to impact the bottleneck of cultivation had greatly decreased, making some cultivation resistances that were not a problem at all in ancient times also become the bottleneck of modern monks.

The problem lies in the foundation building exercises of the modern cultivation realm, and the modern foundation building exercises have indeed greatly improved the ability to attract the aura of heaven and earth through improvement, so as to ensure that enough heaven and earth aura can be attracted into the body to support the needs of cultivation, but such modifications also bring a big problem, that is, a large number of impurities are mixed in the aura of heaven and earth and are inhaled into the body together.

Indeed, when the aura of heaven and earth runs in the meridians, it will automatically purify, expelling impurities from the meridians, and only introducing pure aura into the dantian. However, this purification ability is limited, and there are too many impurities in the heaven and earth aura attracted by the modern foundation building exercises, and the process of practicing the gong cannot be completely removed, and the purity of the heaven and earth aura finally introduced into the dantian is much worse than in ancient times.

The pure aura of heaven and earth is introduced into the dantian, and the essence essence refined is not pure enough, the monk can only control the pure essence, the impurities are uncontrolled, and the more complex the essence, the more the monk has less control over it, which is the reason why the modern monk's control over his own essence is very poor.

The bottleneck of cultivation is like a dam blocking the path of cultivation, of course, the more water you have, the more likely it is to break through the dam, if only the amount of spiritual energy is not much different from the monks of the ancient era, then why is there a world of difference between the two in their ability to impact the bottleneck of cultivation?

The reason for this significant difference is mainly the difference in the control of their own essence, the ancient monks can control their own essence at will, find the vulnerability of the dam, and concentrate all the essence elements to break it with one blow; the modern monk has a very reluctant control over his own essence, and can only roughly guide his own essence to hit the dam again and again like the waves of the sea, and the power is completely dispersed, and the efficiency is very low.

In order to speed up the cultivation speed, the monk had to resort to various pills, and the impurities in the pills were more complicated, and the resulting essence was more difficult to control, and the ability to impact the bottleneck was even lower. The cultivator can't hit the cultivation bottleneck, he must rely on the pill, which is even worse, and the next time the ability to hit the cultivation bottleneck is further reduced, he has to rely on the pill, and the cycle repeats, causing a vicious circle. Modern monks are often stuck in a small bottleneck, and they will not be able to advance half a step in their cultivation realm for the rest of their lives.
