Chapter 158: Xuanxian Realm Cultivation Inheritance
"If there is enough spiritual energy, one can improve his cultivation to the fusion stage within a hundred years." Shi Chen answered seriously.
With Shi Chen's current cultivation efficiency and the blessing of the Xuanhuang World, it is feasible for him to cultivate to the fusion stage within a hundred years.
"Well!" Qian Xue said, "Young friend Shi, since you're new here, why don't you choose a place to stay here first? We'll discuss it and make a decision, and then we'll discuss it with you when we have the result. How about this arrangement?"
"Sure, Mr. Qian, please feel free to do as you please." Shi Chen responded.
"There are three unoccupied thatched huts here. You can choose any one of them," Qian Xue said, pointing to the three closed huts. "If you don't like them, you can build your own house, but be sure not to destroy the spiritual herbs and trees here. We spent a huge amount of money to arrange them into a natural formation, which has the effect of preserving spiritual objects."
"Okay, I will never touch the flowers, plants and trees here, don't worry. If you want to build a house, I will prepare the materials myself." Shi Chen solemnly promised.
"Let's go to Taoist Master Lu. You can take a look around here first." After Qian Xue finished speaking, he waved his hand lightly, and the twelve people who were originally sitting on the cushions disappeared in an instant.
Shi Chen looked around. The outer circle was a circle of spiritual trees and herbs, followed by fifteen thatched huts. The thatched huts surrounded thirty-two cushions, and the thirty-two cushions surrounded a stone platform in the center.
The material of the thatched house seemed to be wheat straw, which was golden in color and shimmered faintly.
The material used to make the futon is the same as that used for the thatched house. When Shi Chen sat on the futon, he suddenly felt calm, his thoughts were clear, his mind was much faster than usual, his body seemed to be a little lighter, and his whole body and mind were immersed in relaxation and comfort.
It's the Huangjing Linggan! Shi Chen suddenly remembered that he had seen it in a miscellaneous book, and in the book "Strange Stories of Spiritual Objects", there was a description that the Huangjing Linggan is the straw after the Huangjie fruit is picked. It has the wonderful effect of calming the mind and helping people achieve enlightenment.
In the spiritual world, this spiritual stem is hard to come by, but here they use it to weave cushions and build thatched houses.
Since the materials of the thatched huts were so good, there was no need for him to go through the trouble of building a residence. Shi Chen chose a thatched hut, opened the door and walked in.
Wow! From the outside, the thatched hut, which looked only ten feet square, was actually five or six feet square once inside. It turned out to be a space formation.
It was unknown what grade of spiritual energy there was, but it was even higher than the spiritual energy on the top of the Seven-Colored Divine Light Island. As soon as Shi Chen came in, he felt joy and happiness in his body.
As long as he practices here for ten days or so, he will be able to break through the sixth level of the Golden Core and enter the late Golden Core stage. In half a year, he will be able to successfully advance from the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul stage, and the Spirit Transformation stage can be achieved in at most five years.
With such efficiency in cultivation, it would not be an unattainable dream to raise one's cultivation to the level of perfect fusion in fifty or sixty years, let alone a hundred years.
Shi Chen was very satisfied with this thatched hut. He could not see any trace of any formation, whether it was a space formation or a spirit gathering formation.
It seems that among the true spirits trapped here, there is a master of formations, who may have dabbled in all kinds of arts.
An hour later, Qian Xue came to the thatched hut where Shi Chen entered and activated the restriction on the hut.
Shi Chen opened the door to the thatched cottage and saw Qian Xue. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Senior Qian, what's going on? Judging from your expression, it seems that you two haven't reached an agreement."
"We are now divided into three opinions, that is, three groups of people. The five of us, Lu Le, Huo Yi, Jian Ming, and Situ Xiaoran, support providing you with cultivation resources. After you have cultivated to the perfection of fusion, refine the Killing Gourd and take us to break through the Hunyuan Formation." Qian Xue said softly.
"This is what you mentioned before, the other two groups of people opposed, right?" Shi Chen asked doubtfully.
"It's not that they're opposed, they just don't support our proposal. Xinggong, Suwei, and Ma Min don't support providing you with resources. Ji Moran, Ling Kun, and two others don't agree with you refining the Killing Gourd."
"I understand. Elder Qian and Elder Lu, you and the others are limited by your lifespans, and you hope that I can improve my cultivation as soon as possible so that I can take you away from here. The three Xinggong people still have one or two thousand years to live, so they want to wait and see. Finally, Ji Mo Ran and the others don't want to lose this place where they can live." Shi Chen said.
"That's about it. Alas! I really want to leave here as soon as possible." Qian Xue said.
"I wonder what the resources you mentioned for my cultivation are. Are they all shared by the seniors?"
"Some are, some aren't. The ten high-grade spirit veins I mentioned earlier for you to cultivate require everyone to gather together to complete the number. There are also cultivation techniques, spells, and magical powers. If you have the talent to learn a hundred arts, we also have talisman masters, alchemy masters, formation masters, and so on. The most powerful in the art of attack and killing is Jian Ming. If you want to learn our magical secrets, you must be recognized before we can teach you."
"I wonder if I can gain Senior Qian's approval?"
"My lifespan is only three hundred years. What's the point of keeping this inheritance? I'd rather pass it on to you. I see your bone age is only fifty. If you can achieve perfect fusion in a hundred years, you'll have at least thirty thousand years of life. In the past hundred thousand years, you're the only one to enter this place with a physical body. The thirty-two of us are all true spirits whose bodies were destroyed on the battlefield. Unless we can escape the formation, our souls will be scattered here. Now, only twelve of us remain here."
"Although I cannot guarantee that I will be able to lead you out of this place a hundred years from now, I will certainly do my best."
"Never mind! Originally, the Immortal Sect I belonged to required multiple trials before entry. To master these skills and magical powers, one must have made a significant contribution to the sect. Now, I can only teach them to you. My sect is the Qingling Immortal Sect, and we practice the Qingmu Immortal Art. My magical powers are only auxiliary, and I am only a spiritual seed in the Hundred Arts. My skills and magical powers may not be of much help to you, but if you are interested in learning, I can teach them to you. I only hope that after I escape from this place, I can leave a legacy for the Qingling Immortal Sect."
"Thank you, senior, for the gift!"
"Come into my thatched cottage and I will teach you the Dao!"
Shi Chen followed Qian Xue into his thatched hut, which was simply furnished with a bed, a futon, and a coffee table.
Qian Xue personally taught Taoism. Shi Chen had never had a master. Although he had agreed to become Li Yangfei's disciple, the apprenticeship ceremony had not yet been held, nor had he received any instruction from Li Yangfei for a single day.
Starting from the simple basics of drawing Qi into the body, to cultivating to overcome tribulations, from inducing birth, to regenerating supernatural powers, from ordinary plants, to spiritual plants.
For a full thirty days, Qian Xue spoke incessantly and eloquently, while Shi Chen listened with fascination and complete concentration.
After just a cursory listen, Shi Chen memorized all the content without hesitation.
Returning to his thatched hut, Shi Chen sat cross-legged on the mat and began to sort out the knowledge in his mind.
Qingmu Immortal Art is a practice suitable for those with wood-type spiritual roots. Its core lies in emphasizing the growth and rest of all things and focusing on their own coordination and balance.
This technique can multiply the effect of wood-based spells and is extremely useful for those who grow spirit seeds.
After one's cultivation has surpassed the fusion stage, comprehending the regeneration of supernatural powers in the void stage can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Qian Xue not only meticulously explained the details of the practice, but also vividly demonstrated the wonders of various techniques. Shi Chen was particularly interested in the Qingmu Immortal Technique because of its ability to significantly prolong life.
Just as Qian Xue cultivated to the level of overcoming tribulations, his lifespan was 50,000 years longer than that of ordinary cultivators.
The prerequisite for practicing the regeneration magic power is to master ten wood-based spells. When the cultivation level reaches the level of Dongxu, the true meaning of these ten spells can be integrated with each other, and it can evolve into a magic power.
The power of regeneration is considered the most outstanding healing technique. As long as there is still a breath of life, it can bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh.
Shi Chen once wondered why Qian Xue didn't use his regeneration ability to revive his body.
He explained that in order to bring the dead back to life and regenerate flesh from bones, the prerequisite was that the cultivator's true spirit still existed and the physical body existed. Even if the physical body was missing, the regeneration magic power could restore it.
However, these dozen or so people only have their true spirits left, and their physical bodies have been completely destroyed in the war. The regeneration ability only has the ability to regenerate, not the power to be reborn.
Shi Chen then asked whether the practice of supernatural powers could be carried out during the Qi training and foundation building stages.
Qian Xue's eyes, as if he was looking at a fool, made Shi Chen feel a little embarrassed.
After the subsequent explanation, Shi Chen finally understood why Qian Xue had such an incredulous look in his eyes when he heard his question.
At the beginning of practice, one must start from drawing Qi into the body and continue practicing until the stage of fusion. What is practiced are the body, mind and spirit.
Including physical strength, spiritual power and soul.
Only when one’s cultivation reaches the fusion stage can the three be integrated.
Only after the fusion is completed can one be promoted to the Dongxu realm. Dongxu means to have a thorough understanding of the truth and nothingness.
Only by analyzing all things in the universe, gathering the power of the laws, and consolidating the energy of the origin can one control supernatural powers.
With the guidance of a master, Shi Chen can indeed avoid many detours.
Now, thanks to Qian Xue’s explanation, many confusions in spiritual practice can be answered one by one. As the saying goes, only when you stand high can you see far.
From drawing Qi into the body during the Qi training period, to cultivating spiritual consciousness during the foundation building period, to condensing spiritual power into elixir during the Golden Elixir period, and then transforming the golden elixir into an infant during the Nascent Soul period, and the Nascent Soul growing into the Primordial Spirit, the unity of body, spirit and god can lead to the achievement of the Void.
The spells and techniques learned in the early stages are merely the initial application of the laws of nature. As one's cultivation level increases, their mastery of the laws of nature deepens, their spells become more sophisticated, and they develop artistic conception.
Once you master the artistic conception, you can be reborn and achieve supernatural powers.
Qian Xue also described some scenes from a hundred thousand years ago. At that time, the cultivation world here was just a region of the Xuanxian Realm, called Lingzhou Domain.
A piece of news spread in Lingzhou Territory, claiming that there is a way to ascend to a higher realm.
At first, it was just some small sects fighting and attacking each other. In the following ten years, the war spread to all the major immortal sects, and eventually several major immortal courts were also involved.
When Qian Xue died, it was the tenth year of the melee among the major immortal courts, and thirty years since the news of his ascension was reported.
The thirty-two deceased Dongxu cultivators, all of whom belonged to the Lingzhou Immortal Court, hid within this innate spiritual treasure, the magical weapon of their leading divine general.
After entering the Killing Gourd, communication with the outside world was cut off. Tens of thousands of years passed, and a broken true spirit entered, relaying the situation outside the Killing Gourd. The Lingzhou region was enveloped by the Hunyuan Formation, and no immortal soldiers or generals from the major immortal courts were spared.
The cultivator who entered later was named Jin Qing. His true spirit was severely damaged. He lingered in the killing gourd for 20,000 years, and finally his soul was destroyed.
Until Shi Chen's arrival, this was the third group of people to arrive, and also the first cultivator to enter in the flesh.
