Chapter 9: The Nine Great Realms
The division of the realm in the Gu Immortal Law is according to the three flowers, which is refining and refining qi, refining qi and transforming gods, refining gods and returning voids, and according to the five qis, water, wood, fire, earth, and metal.
Strictly speaking, there are no two realms of "refining one's own essence" and "refining the essence of heaven and earth", and Chen Xiaobei is actually still in the realm of "refining and refining qi".
Of course, it can also be said to be in the second stage of "refining and refining gas".
If the previous stage was called "Qi Refining", then the current stage can be called "Bigu", which corresponds to the "foundation building" in modern cultivation theory!
The reason why it is called "Bigu", instead of following the "foundation building" in modern practice theory, is that the "Bigu" stage in the Gu Immortal Method, compared with the "foundation building" in modern practice theory, there is less opening up the mud pill palace and the appearance of divine consciousness.
This difference stems from the difference between the two spiritual philosophies.
The Gu Immortal Method is the most primitive and direct method of cultivation, which is to refine one's own essence, qi, spirit, and five qi in the chest in turn, and return to the infinite body, which is immortal, immortal, and never reincarnated.
And the modern theory of cultivation, on the basis of many ancient immortal methods, has embarked on a different path. Modern practice is divided into nine realms, Qi refining, foundation building, fetal nourishment, knotting, primordial infant, transforming gods, merging, Mahayana, and true immortals......
Qi refining is no different from "refining one's own essence" in the Gu Immortal Law.
Build a foundation, open up the bridge between heaven and earth, communicate the aura of heaven and earth, open up the mud pill palace, and awaken the soul.
Raising a fetus, forming a spiritual fetus with its own aura, such as a woman conceiving a fetus, giving birth to a new self.
The knotted pill, the spirit fetus has been formed, and it has turned into a spirit pill.
Yuan baby, the elixir is broken, and the yuan baby is out.
Transform into a god, the human soul grows, communicates with the soul of the earth, and the two souls are one.
Fit, Yuan Infant Fit Ontology.
Mahayana, the body and mind are the same.
True immortals, return to the innate nature!
There are two ways to cultivate immortals, each with its own merits.
The Gu Immortal Method is more direct, that is, following the path of innate evolution, going upstream, tracing back to the origin, and returning to the innate nature.
Modern theories of cultivation are based on oneself as the culmination of oneself to nurture a new self. This new self was born with innate qi and was born with innate qi. Then slowly nurture this innate self and let it grow up until it almost completely coincides with the physical self. In the end, he merged, and slowly transformed his entire body from the innate qi contained in his new self, until the whole body returned to the innate body.
Modern cultivation can be said to be a tricky method on the basis of the ancient immortal method, which is simpler in practice, and the requirements for the state of mind are not so high, but it is also a kind of right path.
Because its most critical and different from the Gu Immortal Method is the Yuan Infant Method, therefore, the modern practice method can be called the "Yuan Infant Method"!
Chen Xiaobei practiced the Gu Immortal Method, so when he broke through from "Qi Refining" to the "Bigu" realm, he did not abide by the laws of modern cultivation theory.
Modern cultivation theories stipulate that qi practitioners can only break through the foundation building when the ninth level of qi refining is complete.
This is well-founded, the opening of the bridge between heaven and earth and the opening of the Mud Pill Palace require enough strength and savings, if it does not reach that level, it will not only fail, but also hurt itself. In serious cases, it will even cause damage to the Mud Pill Palace, and at least this person will be abolished from now on, or he will die on the spot.
However, there was no need to open up the Mud Pill Palace in the Gu Immortal Method, so the accumulation of power was not very important to the monks of the Gu Immortal Method. As long as the realm is sufficient, a cultivator who cultivates the Gu Immortal Method can easily break through to the level of Bigu.
This is why Chen Xiaobei's current mana is only close to the stage of the seventh layer of qi refining, but he can easily break through to the level of "refining the essence of heaven and earth" after a realm realization.
In fact, this is also the real difference between the Gu Immortal Method and the modern Yuan Infant Law.
The ancient immortal law emphasizes the realm, and the modern yuan infant law emphasizes the power.
This distinction runs through almost the entire process of cultivating immortals, and the reason why the modern Yuan Infant Method is so difficult to ascend to the great realm every time is because of this.
Every time the modern Yuan Infant Method improves its realm, it needs to accumulate enough mana, and the probability of success is not large. You have to rely on the external forces of heaven and earth spirit objects or pills to break through.
Of course, the breakthrough of the Gu Immortal Method is not simple, and sometimes it is even more difficult.
Because there are some realms that you comprehend, that is, you comprehend, and if you do not comprehend, you just do not comprehend, and very few can rely on external objects to help you comprehend.
However, there is a lot of time for you to comprehend the Gu Immortal Method, and this realm runs through your entire cultivation, and you don't need to accumulate enough mana to comprehend it.
And when you comprehend it, you will naturally have all kinds of mana and supernatural powers in this realm.
Because of this characteristic, there is a school in the Gu Immortal Method, which people call "Dao Xing Immortal".
Taoism is the realm, which is the saying of the ancients.
These Dao Immortals do not cultivate mana and supernatural powers, but as long as the Dao is sufficient, supernatural powers and mana are all sufficient.
Legend has it that in addition to the cultivation of immortals, there is also a sect of cultivation called "Buddha", and they have a branch of cultivation that is similar to that of Taoxing immortals.
However, Chen Xiaobei only saw him mention this cultivation sect in the "Taishang Wuji Xuanmiao Sutra", but he never saw anyone mention it on the Internet.
Chen Xiaobei's current realm is at the "Bigu" stage in the Gu Immortal Law, but his mana is still at the sixth level of Qi refining. Oh no, his current mana is already the seventh layer of Qi refining.
At the moment when he penetrated the bridge between heaven and earth, the concentration of heaven and earth aura pushed his cultivation to the seventh level of qi refining.
This is the benefit of realm ascension, originally when he was in the stage of "refining qi", he could only refine his own essence qi into mana, but now refining the aura of heaven and earth, the speed is naturally not comparable to before, and the mana is even more "rubbing" upward.
Thanks to the concentration of heaven and earth aura, the wounds on his body are recovering at an alarming speed, and with the cultivation of the previous three days, he can now walk normally.
However, he did not plan to return to the city now.
The youkai have become aggressive for some reason, and if he returns to the city at this time, he will definitely be attacked by the youkai again on the way.
He is now injured on his body, and he has lost his current strongest magic weapon, Taihe Monument, and he can still deal with the monsters of the Qi refining level, but if he encounters a monster with the strength of the foundation, he will still be lucky if he is injured and injured, and he will even fall if he is not careful.
The so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, knowing that there is danger, so how can he return to the city?
Moreover, he has gained a lot here. At present, he is in the stage of cultivating the qi of water practice, under this waterfall, on the edge of a small lake, he can experience the way of "water", which is much more convenient than in the city.
He even wanted to build a hut by this lake, where he could feel the charm of the water and the true meaning of the avenue day and night.
