Chapter 1: The Wedge
wedge
After the First Great War between Man and Demon, the human cultivation realm began to flourish, thanks to several brief conversations between master and apprentice, recorded in the ancient chapter of the "Butterfly Continent Xiuzhen Past Dynasties". These dialogues have made great contributions to the cultivation of the entire continent, but so far no one knows who these dialogues originated from and how they were spread in the world, and there is no way to verify the age, only that it was a certain time before the war between humans and demons, and the world was only guessing or guessing. The following is an excerpt from these passages, along with a commentary by the Innocent Master.
"Master, why is it that what we incorporate into our bodies is the vital energy, but what comes out of the surface of our bodies is the spiritual energy of various attributes?"
"Because the vitality is the collection of all the elements between heaven and earth. ”
"You once said that human beings are born from all the elements in the world, so through cultivation, these elements can be used very well. ”
"Did I say that?!"
"It seems like yes. ”
"You seem to have missed demons and demons, right?"
"Oh, the disciple admits that it was deliberate. But why do different cultivators have different attribute preferences, is it because there are more elements in the body than others?"
"It's not too much, it's too little. ”
"The disciple is stupid, he doesn't quite understand?"
"My teacher once told you that the way of nature lies in balance, remember?"
"The disciple did not dare to forget. ”
"What happens when you're thirsty?"
"Will drink water. ”
"What if you're thirsty all the time?"
"The disciple will bring a water bladder with him. ”
"What if you're drunk up soon?"
"That disciple will bring a bigger water bladder. ”
"Got it now, right?"
"If this continues, won't I be strung to death?!"
"It's the water bladder that's dying, not you. ”
"Forehead ・・・・・・!!?"
"Master, could you please tell us about the role of the five most basic elements in the human body?"
"To put it simply, gold is bone hair, the main frame, soft and hard. Wood is the vitality, the main gas, and the cycle of heaven and earth is repeated. Water is the bodily fluid, the main pathway, and nourishes all things. Fire is body temperature, main heat, balancing inside and outside. Soil is the skin and internal organs, muscles, the main protection, strength and movement, the combination of movement and static, complementing each other. If this yin and yang are combined, the five elements will be born endlessly, and eventually ascend to immortals, immortal and immortal, and the five elements will reverse the vitality and eliminate the way of death. ”
"Master, how can we achieve the symbiosis of the five elements?"
"I haven't figured it out yet, so I guessed it for the teacher!"
"Huh?!?!!
"Yes. ”
"Master, I have to admit that you are really powerful. ”
"I think so for the teacher!"
“・・・・・・!!!”
(Note from the Innocent Master: Legend has it that this self-proclaimed ancestor actually ascended to immortality, but according to all the records of Xiuzhen in the Dongrui Continent and Xixia Continent in the past 5,000 years, there has never been a record of when and where someone has ascended, of course, it cannot be ruled out that someone has indeed ascended, but he doesn't want the world to know.) However, the "conjecture of being a teacher" has been passed down from generation to generation, and has become the ultimate goal that cultivators of all generations have spent their lives verifying. )
"Master, what is merit?"
"Those who run the vitality are called meritorious. ”
"What is the law?"
"Those who release spiritual power are called the law. ”
"What's the trick?"
"The inner cultivator of spiritual power is called the trick. ”
"What is a technique?"
"The Divine Consciousness of the Void is called the Technique. ”
"Master, what are Dao Eight, Demon Nine, and Demon Ten?"
"The Taoist, the following dantian as the beginning of practice, through the middle dantian to the upper dantian, a total of five phases of qi, foundation, jindan, yuanying, and god, and finally divided into nature, earth, man, heaven and man three realms, so it is called eight. The demon, starting with the middle dantian, practiced to the lower dantian, and finally the upper dantian, a total of six phases of spiritual change, plastic baby, shaping, hedan, dancheng, and god, and finally divided into three realms of nature, earth demons, and heavenly demons, so it is called nine. The demon, from the beginning of the upper dantian, through the middle dantian, and finally to the lower dantian, a total of chaos, crystallization, transformation, infant molding, infant change, Hedan, Dancheng seven periods, and then divided into nature, earth demons, heavenly demons three realms. ”
"Then Master, what kind of realm are you in now?"
"Well・・・・・・ I don't have to tell you. ”
"Forehead ・・・・・・!!?"
(Note to the Naive Venerable: Now that the division of Dao Eight, Demon Nine, and Demon Ten is long outdated, if you think about it, the Ten Demons are aimed at the innate demons, how should we divide the acquired people and the demons who enter the demons? It is said that there are some cultivators who do not distinguish between dantian and cultivators at the same time, so how should they be divided? Therefore, I personally think that the so-called Dao Eight, Demon Nine, and Demon Ten can only be used as a reference. )
"Master, is there really a trespasser in this world?"
"Yes. ”
"What?"
"Not much. ”
"You've seen it?"
"I've seen one. ”
"What does it look like?"
"Just like us. ”
(Note to the Innocent Venerable: The so-called intruder is someone who comes from another world for unknown reasons, and may be a human being, a demon or a demon.) Although it is occasionally mentioned in ancient books, it is all brushed aside, and it is impossible to understand whether the real intruders are the same as ours, and it is impossible to know, which is also one of the ten mysteries of our continent. )
"Last question, Master, how do you know that the continent we are on is butterfly-shaped?"
"Well, I can ・・・・・・ this?"
"This has to be told. ”
"Well, I first saw that the Dongrui Continent looked like half a butterfly wing, and then I saw that the Xixia Continent also looked like half a butterfly wing, and then I saw the high Dragonspine Mountains glue them tightly together, so I knew that the continent we were on was in the shape of a butterfly. ”
"It's as simple as that?!!"
"It's that simple. ”
"Master, are you sure you're not talking in your dreams?"
"You're right this time, the teacher did see it in a dream. ”
"That's fine!??"
"Of course. ”
“・・・・・・!!!”
(Note from a real person in the sky: According to historical records, thousands of years later, there are still so many masters who want to verify whether the continent mentioned by the master is really butterfly-shaped, but the long time it takes, the depth of the skill, and the huge amount of spirit stones can only end hastily.) However, it is said that the southernmost continental line of the Dongrui Continent does resemble the tail part of a butterfly's wings, and the second is that the Longji Mountain Range is higher than we imagined, and there are still no cultivators who can directly fly over the past to reach the Xixia Continent, and the same is true on the other side. )
