Chapter 84: Three Souls and Seven Spirits
After Xiao Qing triumphantly flickered around the hot potato, he suddenly asked, "Bloody, Heavenly Demon, what is the matter with that life soul you are talking about?"
When Long Chuan heard this, he also asked: "Two seniors, you said that the ancestors had left the natal longevity and natal essence blood in that drop of essence blood, can you explain the confusion to the juniors?"
In less than a day, the Heavenly Demon and the Blood Demon had become accustomed to Xiaoqing and Longchuan's sometimes white, sometimes powerful performances. After listening to Xiaoqing and Long Chuan's questioning, the Heavenly Demon and the Blood Demon cleared Xiao Qing and Long Chuan's illiteracy.
It turns out that in this time and space, there is also a saying of three souls and seven spirits.
The three souls refer to the three souls of heaven, earth, and life. The seven spirits refer to the seven spirits of Tianchong, Linghui, Qi, Force, Central, Jing and Ying.
According to the description of the Heavenly Demon and the Blood Demon, the soul of life is the main soul of the human body and the root of the seven spirits. And the Seven Spirits are the branches and leaves of the soul. For all people, when the soul ends, the seven spirits are dispersed, and the human body dies. And the strength of the Seven Spirits can in turn affect the life soul. The stronger the Seven Spirits, the stronger the soul of the person, which is manifested in the more longevity and the longer the lifespan. Vice versa. It's for the sake of life.
The reason why the longevity of immortal cultivators far exceeds that of ordinary people, and it will continue to grow with the enhancement of cultivation, is because the true yuan refined by immortal cultivators can continuously enhance their own seven spirits, and then strengthen their life soul and increase longevity.
Long Chuan listened to the introduction of the Heavenly Demon and the Blood Demon, and realized something in his heart. It seems that the basic principle of this is the same as that long-term exercise will enhance physical fitness, and then it is possible to prolong life. For immortal cultivators, once the true yuan is refined in the body, the true yuan keeps strengthening its own seven spirits, which is almost like exercising all the time.
Long Chuan asked, "Two seniors, what is the matter with the Natal Shouyuan and the Natal True Soul?"
The voice of the Heavenly Demon said: "Natal Shouyuan refers to the longevity that ordinary people can have before stepping into the immortal path. ”
Long Chuan asked a little confusedly, "What does the predecessor mean, how old can ordinary people live?"
The voice of the Heavenly Demon said, "Yes. As soon as an ordinary person is born, his natal longevity is basically fixed. Of course, there are some ordinary people who may be born with some diseases that hinder their longevity, and their natal longevity will be less. ”
Long Chuan asked, "Senior, what is the difference between this natal longevity and the longevity that a cultivator has increased through cultivation?"
The voice of the Heavenly Demon said: "My Heavenly Demon Clan, there is no such thing as Natal Shouyuan. So, I don't know very much either. When our Heavenly Demon Clan is facing the Venerable Terran monk or the enemy of other races, no matter whether he is a natal longevity or a longevity yuan, we can only cut off his vitality and destroy his life and soul, so that his longevity is useless. ”
Dragon Biography: "......"
The bloody voice continued: "The Dragon Legend, the Natal Shouyuan, in my Bloody Demon Sect, is not very prominent, and no one will pay attention to this. Just like the eldest brother said, whether it is the natal longevity or what the longevity, if the head is cut off, or the body is destroyed, there is nothing. ”
Long Chuan scolded in his heart: "It seems that these two ancestors were not good at stubble back then! Opening and closing their mouths will either cut off their lives and destroy people's lives and souls, or they will cut off people's heads or destroy people's bodies." ”
The bloody voice continued, "However, in some legends of the Terran monks, the more Natal Life Yuan remains, the more beneficial it may be. We don't know exactly what the benefits are. ”
Long Chuan asked, "What does the remaining Natal Shou Yuan ......mean?"
The bloody voice replied, "For example, if a person's natal life is two hundred years, and when he steps into the immortal path, he will be able to increase his life expectancy for the first time at the age of fifty, then his remaining natal life will be one hundred and fifty years. If he only allowed his life to increase for the first time at the age of one hundred and fifty, then his remaining natal life was only fifty years. ”
Long Chuan asked again: "Senior, how do you know if your longevity has increased? Isn't it that as soon as you step into the realm of qi training, your longevity will increase?"
The bloody voice said: "Generally, large sects have some methods that can roughly measure the remaining longevity of people in the sect. My Blood Demon Sect also has such a method, and I will know it when I test it. However, the more advanced the cultivators of immortals, the fewer they really waited until their longevity was exhausted. ”
When the dragon heard this, he was slightly shocked in his heart and asked, "Senior, what do you mean......?"
There was an inexplicable smell in the bloody voice: "Immortal cultivators, once they have mastered the power that ordinary people can't reach, who doesn't want their strength to be stronger? The more advanced the cultivation of the immortal sect, the more they hope to have stronger power." Fighting with the sky, the earth, and people, where will there be immortals? The people in the immortal gate will either die under the heavenly tribulation or die at the hands of other people in the immortal gate. Isn't this what the old thief is plotting against the three of us?"
When Long Chuan heard this, he was immediately silent. It seems that immortals are indeed not so easy to cultivate. People in the world say that cultivating immortals is good, but who knows that the path to immortality is dangerous and slim? The idea of cultivating immortals to pursue supreme power is, to put it bluntly, no different from ordinary people's endless pursuit of power and wealth. Desirelessness is rigidity, contentment and happiness, it is easy to say, but how many people can really do it?
After being silent for a while, Long Chuan asked, "Senior, what's going on with that natal true soul?"
The bloody voice replied, "The natal true soul is the life soul that ordinary people are born with. This thing is the same as Honmei Shouyuan. Some legends say that the more natal souls, the better. However, I don't know exactly what's so good. ”
Long Chuan was silent for a while, and then asked, "Two seniors, what about the Heavenly Soul and the Earth Soul?"
The voice of the Heavenly Demon said, "The Heavenly Soul and the Earth Soul are only recorded in some extremely ancient texts. Among the oldest lineages of my Heavenly Demon Clan, it is said that immortal cultivators can cultivate Heavenly Soul and Earth Soul. If the Heavenly Soul is cultivated to a certain realm, the immortal cultivator can break through the void at any time without being restricted by the realm. If the earth soul is cultivated to a certain realm, the immortal cultivator can freely shuttle through the underworld. ”
Long Chuan asked in surprise: "Underworld?
The voice of the Heavenly Demon said, "Although I have never heard of anyone going to the underworld, however, the underworld should exist. According to the inheritance of my Heavenly Demon Clan, millions of years ago, there were even some powerful people who were able to reincarnate and rebuild through the underworld. ”
When Long Chuan and Xiaoqing heard this, they exclaimed at the same time: "Reincarnation and recultivation?"
The voice of the Heavenly Demon said: "What is the specific situation, the inheritance of my Heavenly Demon Clan, there is no detailed record. The records of our clan only say that those who are reincarnated and re-cultivated, because they may carry some memories of their previous lives, once they re-cultivate, they must be geniuses who cultivate immortals. However, this is a very long time ago. Whether this is true or not, no one knows. ”
Xiaoqing's voice said seriously in Long Chuan's mind: "Long Chuan, if this is the case, you will have more opponents. ”
Long Chuan sighed in his mind: "The pressure is greater than two mountains!"
Long Chuan asked, "Senior, did the inheritance of your clan say how the Heavenly Soul and the Earth Soul should be cultivated?"
The voice of the Heavenly Demon said, "There is no specific method. The inheritance of our clan only says that the Heavenly Soul and the Earth Soul can be cultivated by absorbing some special things. Not only the Heavenly Soul and Earth Soul, but also the Seven Spirits, it is said that it is also possible to cultivate by absorbing some things that have the power of the Seven Spirits. However, I have never heard of anyone getting these things. ”
The dragon legend said: "Senior, so to speak, these news are likely to be just legends?"
The voice of the Heavenly Demon said, "It's hard to say. Just because no one has seen it doesn't mean it's not true. Among the heavens and all the clans, the longevity of my Heavenly Demon clan can be regarded as long. The inheritance of our race is much older than that of ordinary human races, and its credibility is not low. Moreover, the inheritance of each ethnic group is one of the most important things for each ethnic group. If it is not deliberate, the tribes generally do not record the things that do not exist in the inheritance, so as not to mislead the clansmen. ”
Seeing that Long Chuan was silent again, the voice of the Heavenly Demon said again: "Child, it's too early for you to think about this now. I think you are still down-to-earth and cultivate step by step. Although the cultivation of that old thief is amazing, I believe that as long as you don't give up your cultivation, there will be hope of catching up with him. What's more, although we may not be able to defeat the old thief, but the old thief will do such evil, and there will always be a day when the true face will be revealed. When he shows his true colors, someone will clean him up. ”
Long Chuanwei gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth and said, "What the predecessors said is extremely true. However, revenge must be avenged. The blood feud inflicted by the old thief on the two seniors and ancestors, even if the two seniors and ancestors can't repay it personally, the juniors should also ask him for it, so that the juniors will not cultivate immortals in vain!"
