Chapter 4: The Day of the First Year
The Yan clan has had immortal cultivators for generations, and mortals call them immortals. Its powerful people are like immortals, not only have a long lifespan, but also fly to the sky, can collapse mountains and rocks with a single move, and enjoy supreme prestige among ordinary people.
According to the level of strength, immortal cultivators are divided into four levels: Qi training, foundation building, Jin Dan, and Yuan Ying.
The starting way of cultivating immortals is to practice the Qi level, which is divided into ten levels and four realms.
These ten levels are not artificially divided, but in the process of cultivation, with the improvement of cultivation, the ten bottlenecks that can be felt very clearly. For example, if a person who cultivates qi at the fifth level, he finds that his mana cannot be improved while cultivating, which means that he has encountered a bottleneck, and he must break through the sixth level of qi cultivation to make further progress. Breaking through to the sixth level of Qi training, it will be suddenly released, not only will the whole body be smooth, but the strength will also be greatly improved.
There are nine such bottlenecks in the Qi training period, and the Qi training stage is divided into ten levels.
Ten levels are easy to say, these four realms are the early stage of Qi training, the middle stage of Qi training, the late stage of Qi training, and the peak of Qi training.
Level 1 to Level 3 can be regarded as the introduction to Qi training, or the early stage of Qi training, this kind of low-level immortal cultivator will not have powerful supernatural powers, it is nothing more than ears and eyes, light and healthy, and his strength has increased slightly. As long as you have a little spiritual root, it is not particularly difficult to cultivate to the third level of Qi cultivation.
Levels 4 to 6 are the middle stage of Qi training, and the immortal cultivator already has a thin mana cultivation in his body, and at the same time, the power of the Yuan Shen has increased greatly, and he can cast some ordinary spells, and the strength and agility of the physical body have increased greatly, which has gone beyond the realm of mortals.
The seventh, eighth, and ninth level Qi cultivation cultivators are in the late stage of Qi training, and the power of the Yuan Shen continues to increase, and the mana reserves are increasing, and they can cast some spell powers, and their power is enough to kill powerful demon beasts, which is far from what ordinary mortals can imagine.
The cultivators in the late stage of Qi cultivation are like Yanwu Yanze, a young man, although his strength is not high, he already has the ability to fight against low-level demon beasts, which is enough to protect the island, and his identity value far exceeds that of ordinary Yanzhi people.
The so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. If there are children in the family who can cultivate, the status of the whole family will naturally rise, and not only can they move to the central area of Yanyi Island to live, so as to avoid the sneak attack of sea monsters, but they can also be taken care of by the clan for daily use.
It is precisely for this reason that every year when the bloodline awakens, almost all three-year-old children will gather in the central temple to wait for the bloodline to awaken and see if there is any possibility of becoming an immortal cultivator.
As for the tenth-level Qi Cultivation Cultivator, he was already infinitely close to building a foundation, and his strength far exceeded that of the ninth level of Qi Cultivation. At this time, the cultivation has reached the peak of the Qi training stage, and unless the foundation is successfully built, it will be difficult for the cultivation to advance again, so it is called the peak of Qi training.
After reaching the peak of qi training, you will encounter another bottleneck, and this bottleneck is to build a foundation. If you break through, your strength will increase tenfold, and your longevity will also double. However, this bottleneck is not easy to break through, and many cultivators are unable to break through it in their lifetime, and eventually the dust returns to dust and turns into a pile of loess.
This year, there were a lot of children who came to participate in the Bloodline Awakening, and they were held by adults one by one, and they lined up early. At a glance, I am afraid that there are thousands of people.
Standing in the team, Chu Yun looked around curiously, and found that these children of the same age were all dressed in splendid embroidery, and they were all dressed up brightly, as if they were participating in a grand festival.
Almost all of the children were men. However, perhaps because of the long queue, many children became visibly agitated, both those who were asleep in the crooks of their father's arms, and those who were jumping and crying.
Hmph, I, Chu Yun, took the spiritual root test by myself, and I didn't need to be accompanied by my mother at all. It's not ashamed that these little kids are being led by adults and crying endlessly. These children are accompanied by their fathers, and Chu Yun is a little unpleasant from the bottom of his heart.
As soon as he thought of refusing to be accompanied by his mother and lining up to participate in the spiritual root test by himself, Chu Yun couldn't help but feel proud in his heart. After standing for a while, in Chu Yun's feelings, it seemed that after a long time, he felt that the surroundings suddenly became quiet, and some crying children were also covered by adults.
Is this about to start the spiritual root test? Chu Yun perked up, and immediately forgot that his legs were numb after standing for a long time, and he looked forward on tiptoe. With his height, although he was taller than all the children of the same age present, he was much shorter than adults, but he couldn't see what was happening in front of him clearly when he saw the long legs of the adults all around.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the annual day of the first year is coming!" In the silence, I suddenly heard someone speak, "I, Yan Dansong, am the patriarch of Yan Yi, and I am here to greet all the clansmen."
The man named Yan Dansong spoke for a while, and when he heard it, Chu Yun's eyelids were heavy, and he suddenly saw an ant under his feet, so he bent down and picked up a straw stick to pull the ant to play.
Suddenly, a crisp female voice was heard singing: "The god of fire has given us food, and the god of fire has given us children."
"The god of fire has given us food, and the god of fire has given us heirs"
The Yan relics people present also sang in unison, looking at the sky one by one, extremely pious.
Chu Yun took the straw stick and pulled the ants, and suddenly found that there was a caterpillar not far away, so he caught the caterpillar and played it together, until the two little things were playing crookedly, and their breath was dying, and then they suddenly found that the team moved.
Is this the beginning of the Spiritual Root Test?
Chu Yun suddenly became excited, threw the straw stick in his hand casually, and followed the team to move forward.
After a short walk, the team stopped again, and waited for about half an hour before slowly moving forward again.
Just like that, he stopped and stopped, and after three times in a row, his eyes lit up, and Chu Yun saw the gate of the holy temple. As always, it is antique and dust-free. One of the vermilion gates has a huge pillar on each side of the vermilion gate, carved with a cloud pattern of fire on the left side, and a red sun and a sea on the right.
As the heir of the former saintess, Chu Yun is no stranger to this holy temple. However, he was about to enter the temple for the spiritual root test, and his mood was still quite nervous.
An old man with red eyebrows stood in the middle of the temple gate with a smile, his fiery red hair tied up haphazardly, his mouth wide, and his skin slightly wrinkled, but he had a kind of aura that was not angry but mighty.
Looking at the old man, Chu Yun was full of respect. This person is the patriarch of Yanyi, and he is also the only Jindan cultivator of Yanyi, Yandansong!
In the tide four years ago, it was precisely because of the existence of Yan Dansong and the help of the mysterious iron man that Yan Yi was able to keep the peace, otherwise, maybe this place would have become a lair of demon beasts, and all the Yan Yi people would become food for demon beasts.
Listening to Feng Ling's story, in that battle of demon beasts attacking the island, Yan Dansong lost his arm, and later swallowed a lot of pills, which allowed him to grow a new arm.
The difference between a Jindan cultivator and a foundation building cultivator, Chu Yun was not very clear. How powerful Yan Dansong is, Chu Yun doesn't really understand. However, if his arm is broken, he can grow it back, he admires it from the bottom of his heart, the patriarch is really amazing!
For the Yan Relic people, the existence of Yan Dansong is tantamount to the patron saint of the entire Yan Relic Island, not only Chu Yun, but almost the entire Yan Relic Clan, Yan Dansong is a god-like existence.
There were a man and two women standing beside Yan Dansong, and Chu Yun was no stranger to these three people. One person is his mother-in-law, Yan Fengling.
Yan Fengling is a former saintess, and her cultivation is good, and she will come to help with the spiritual root test every year.
The other person is a woman in white clothes, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with red hair and willow eyebrows, a dignified expression, and an awe-inspiring and inviolable divine bearing, which is the current saint Yan Dai'er.
Chu Yun has often been cared for by Yan Dai'er since he was a child, and he hasn't seen the saint for some days, but when he met at this moment, he felt very cordial, raised his arm and waved his hand at Yan Dai'er, and called: "Sister Saint!"
The people in line all tried to keep quiet, but at this moment, the silence was broken by Chu Yun's voice, and everyone looked sideways, secretly blaming.
Hearing the shout, Yan Dai'er raised her eyes and saw Chu Yun, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. This smile is like ripples in spring water, bright and amazing. Fu looked at Chu Yun again, and quietly made a silent gesture to Chu Yun.
"Chu Yun! What kind of body are you yelling at!" Yan Fengling whispered a thin man beside him.
