Chapter 21: Retreat

After arranging everything, Chu Shan began to practice penance again. I don't dare to waste every day, after all, Chu Shan is almost thirty years old now. However, cultivation is still at the second level of the Qi cultivation period, and in the final analysis, Chu Shan has not yet left the realm of mortals, and his lifespan is still very limited, and the maximum will not exceed one hundred and fifty years old. At the current rate, it will take nearly fifty years to be able to cultivate to the realm of the Great Perfection of the Qi Cultivation Period, and then he will be eighty years old. At that time, even if he had reached the Great Perfection of Qi Training, he would not have enough time to impact the foundation building period. What's more, there are risks all the way on the road to cultivation, and there are traps everywhere, if you don't rush forward, you will definitely be eliminated at that time, and you will inevitably fall halfway, and it is not certain whether you can survive to the time when the Qi cultivation period is complete, therefore, Chu Shan took advantage of the fact that he still has time and the environment is relatively simple, so as not to be caught off guard when he gets it.

Chu Shan was ready to complete all the forbidden cultivation of all attributes in one go, before Chu Shan told Guo Wen and Guo Wu brothers that in the recent period, or even in the last ten years, they would not hesitate to cultivate with a qiē resource, in addition to going to the City Lord's Mansion every month to get resources, what do you need to break through the realm without scruples, and strive to be able to upgrade the cultivation to more than the eighth layer of the Qi cultivation period in the next few years, and then it will be a little master, and you don't have to worry about your safety from time to time after arriving at the Taixuanmen. Hearing that Chu Shan was about to take the brothers into the mysterious world of cultivation and enter the Taixuanmen, the two swore that they would never live up to the expectations of their son. Although Chu Shan didn't have much hope, it was not good to hit the brothers, so he was noncommittal, hoping for a miracle.

After doing this, Chu Shan began one of the most meaningful retreats in history. Every night, Chu Shan is standing on the stump as usual, this kind of stump is very conducive to recovering the wounds of the body, and it has a miraculous effect on regulating the body and increasing the essence and blood, otherwise it is impossible for Chu Shan himself to spend the essence blood to carve the runes of the twelve attributes. Every morning, Chu Shan will play Tai Chi and then practice. On average, the meat of a first-level spirit beast needs to be eaten about five hundred catties every day, plus some medicinal materials that nourish qi and replenish blood, I am afraid it will cost more than one thousand gold coins.

However, to Chu Shan's surprise, it took Chu Shan two full years to finish carving the runes of the time attribute. Every time I depict it, I always feel that it is erratic and difficult to grasp, so it takes a lot of blood, and if it is an ordinary person, I am afraid it will be wasted. The later it gets, the more difficult it becomes, and it is worthy of a rune of the time attribute, and only a third of it takes so long. At this rate, there are still five attributes that need to be cultivated, and each of them will take more than twenty years according to five years. Chu Shan thought of this, and felt very hesitant in his heart, after all, he already had the Five Elements and the attributes of time and space, and he was already unprecedented, there was no need to delay time, and it was not necessarily successful. But Chu Shan was a little unwilling, after all, his wish was to complete the cultivation of the twelve attributes, and it was not his character to give up halfway, could it really be like this? Chu Shan did not rest for three consecutive days, gave up in his mind, and insisted that the two views constantly intersected, but he couldn't make up his mind. On the evening of the third day, a light rain began to fall. There was a spider web next to a small tree, and the spider web was swaying in the wind and rain, but the spider did not give up, and was constantly checking and filling in the gaps. The light rain lasted for an hour, Chu Shan stood in the rain and observed this spider for an hour, Chu Shan was deeply moved, a spider knew how to persevere, could it be that he was so unbearable and gave up halfway.

Thinking of this, the confusion in Chu Shan's heart was swept away, and the tired expression on his face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a fighting spirit that soared to the sky, and this world was determined to win the sky! Just after Chu Shan strengthened his heart, his heart was shocked again, and his whole body was much more relaxed. There are all kinds of inner demons in cultivation, and if you don't pay attention, you will fall into the ** of inner demons and eventually get lost. The last time Chu Shan comprehended the truth that cultivation requires a relaxation, he defeated the inner demon once; this time he strengthened his original heart and invisibly defeated it again, so his realm has been greatly improved, although it is not reflected now, but for the future cultivation path, it is a little smoother.

After Chu Shan inadvertently defeated the inner demon for the second time, he continued to cultivate. This time it's the cultivation of Yin Yang Runes. This time, Chu Shan's heart flashed with inspiration, and he cultivated the two runes at the same time, and the speed was several times faster. This may be related to Chu Shan's own practice of Taijiquan, which he has practiced for decades, after all, Taiji is the best boxing method to interpret yin and yang. It is also possible that the theory of yin and yang in the previous life helped Chu Shan, or maybe after Chu Shan survived the heart demon tribulation, his realm improved and his cultivation speed accelerated. In short, Chu Shan didn't care why his cultivation had become smooth now, and he had already cultivated the remaining runes wholeheartedly, and the whole person had entered a kind of unconscious realm, mysterious and mysterious.

After about half a year, the Yin Yang Rune was cultivated. Two more prohibitions were formed, this time two prohibitions were formed together, and the two prohibitions formed a Taiji Yin Yang Fish, which was constantly rotating. Gradually, the entire Taiji Diagram and the Five Elements Prohibition and the space-time prohibition on the seeds of the World Tree echoed each other, and gradually the three kinds of prohibitions began to approach, forming a triangle and then slowly rotating, the speed became faster and faster, Chu Shan's eyes could no longer keep up, with the increase in speed, in the end, only some forbidden phantoms could be seen, slowly, these phantoms began to coincide, and finally formed a peculiar prohibition, but I felt that they were still constantly adjusting, and there were still some incompleteness, which may be due to the fact that they have not yet completed the fusion, or they are still missing the three attributes of wind and thunder and the underworld。

Seeing that this time he used the principle of yin and yang to form a Tai Chi rune ban so smoothly, Chu Shan couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart. It seems that some of the Taoist theories of the previous life can still be applied here. Therefore, Chu Shan prepared to cultivate the wind and thunder prohibition together this time, and the result confirmed Chu Shan's conjecture, this time it only took half a year, and the prohibition of the wind and thunder attribute was smoothly integrated into the previous nine attributes. So far, Chu Shan has cultivated eleven of the twelve attributes, and only the remaining underworld attributes have not been completed. It had only been three years of cultivation now, which was more than several times faster than Chu Shan's previous estimates. Seeing that all the twelve attributes would be cultivated soon, Chu Shan couldn't help but be excited. But thinking that this was not the time to be excited, I calmed down and went all out to cultivate the last underworld attribute. This kind of attribute is not difficult, plus Chu Shan has the experience of cultivating other attributes in the past, this time it is also smooth, it took more than half a year of effort, and finally the cultivation is about to be completed, and now there is still the last rune left, Chu Shan adjusted his mentality and slowly drew the last rune. With the appearance of the last rune, a black ban was formed instantly, perhaps the twelve attributes in the underworld are interconnected, this attribute prohibition is unusually smoothly integrated into the strange prohibition formed in the front, with the addition of this underworld attribute prohibition, that prohibition is finally complete, and the feeling of dissatisfaction is not satisfied, but now this prohibition is not completely fixed, it is still evolving, and it has changed hundreds of times in an instant, like a white horse passing through a gap. Chu Shan also only saw three or four percent, and the rest didn't understand at all, only knowing that this prohibition was called the Mixed Yuan Prohibition, which contained all the twelve basic attributes of the world. But the matter is obviously not over yet, as time goes by, the change of the Mixed Yuan Prohibition gradually slows down, and after about nine hours, the Mixed Yuan Prohibition is completely formed, and when the entire prohibition is formed, there is a strong suction force from the World Tree Seed, absorbing the entire prohibition into the seed, and Chu Shan can't feel it at all. At the same time, nine of the sixteen drops of essence blood in the heart entered the World Tree Species in an instant. This time it was not a simple absorption, but a complete absorption, that is to say, no matter how Chu Shan cultivated in the future, it would not exceed seven drops of essence blood. There is a fixed upper limit on the number of essence blood in a person, and it is already a great creation that Chu Shan can have sixteen drops of essence blood, and the most in history is only twelve drops. But for Chu Shan, it's not a pity. First, Chu Shan's essence blood is completely fused with the Mixed Yuan Prohibition and the World Tree Species, regardless of each other, in the future, Chu Shan's cultivation will continue to increase with the Mixed Yuan Prohibition and the progress of the World Tree Species, and at the same time, Chu Shan also feels that he seems to have broken the boundary of lifespan, and has a lifespan of two hundred years. Chu Shan received a message in the dark, and each additional layer of his Hybrid Yuan Prohibition increased his lifespan by fifty years. This is different from everyone's cultivation at the moment, and Chu Shan doesn't care about it now, because Chu Shan doesn't understand how the lifespan of a cultivator is calculated. Second, Chu Shan has sixteen drops of essence blood, once it is discovered by someone with a heart, it is unimaginable, and now Chu Shan has no resistance to people who cultivate the truth, not to mention that there is no shortage of soul searching techniques in this world, and it will be all over at that time. Therefore, this ban on essence blood and mixed elements and the fusion of world tree species can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, eliminating a hidden danger.
