Stray Chapter 22: The story begins

Xia Ran created and explored the road on her own. The first three stages can actually correspond to the realm of cultivation and cultivation in this world.

The third stage naturally corresponds to those who are truly worthy of the title of Sword Immortals who rely on the three-foot green front in their hands, from those disciples who started to practice Taoism and were just able to fly with their swords, to such as A murderer like Xuan Xiao——

In fact, all can be included in this stage.

According to the cultivation method of this world, if these people go further, they should be completely oblivious to their achievements, lose their quality and ascend to immortals, follow the principle of ascending and descending of heaven and earth, take the number of the sun and the moon, refine their forms and live in the world, and achieve immortality.

In the words of this world, it is to cultivate into an immortal body. However, there are actually many ways to cultivate an immortal body in this world, and the standard is not unique.

For example, the third master fox's inner elixir became immortal;

For example, the disciples of the Qionghua School practice swords and immortals;

For example, Langfeng and Tianyong, both of the eight Kunlun factions, also take the road of cultivating inner elixir to become immortals;

For example, among the eight Kunlun factions, the other two factions, Xuanpu and Yuying, use outer alchemy to refine the elixir, and take it to become immortals directly...

In addition, there is also a saying in Shu that kills demons and eliminates demons, and builds virtue to raise immortals.

Also, it is said that the place where the skylight is cast on the top of Kunlun Mountain is the legendary way to reach immortals.

—Huh? Having said that, how many ways are there already?

Anyway, this is not important. The important thing is that this world does not have a unique standard for cultivating an immortal body, and although there are various ways, they are all very difficult to achieve, and chance and strength are indispensable.

However, what Xia Ran needs is not to cultivate an immortal body, but to achieve the goal of physical energy-

Although he has a strong auxiliary ability in the field of absolute terror, he is unable to deduce due to the lack of too much information, so he can't do anything out of nothing, he can only start from some suspected situations in this world. I hope A reference or reference can be obtained.

After many deductions and analysis of the mountain **** Xia Yuanchen, who has accumulated merit and promotion to immortals, as well as the foundation of Mr. Hu San, he decisively discarded these seemingly normal but law-abiding, and did not meet his requirements at all advanced route.

—— Turned his attention to the most likely Kunlun Tianguang.

The location of Kunlun Tianguang is too high and too far, and it is full of spiritual energy. Even Yujian couldn't reach it. If Qionghua disciples wanted to ascend, they had to raise Qionghua Sect to a place close to the sky.

So based on such a theory, Xihe Sword and Wangshu Sword were forged by them exhausting three generations of manpower and unable to cast them. They hope to form a sword column with huge spiritual power, soar straight into the sky, and reach the place where the sky light casts on Kunlun Mountain!

At that time, everyone in the sect will be able to abandon their physical mortal body and become an immortal.

But from the original fate trajectory, no one has ever been able to succeed, and no one will succeed in the future. Kunlun Tianguang is the way to immortals, and it will always be just a legend in the world of monasticism, because no one can be proven true.

So compared to cultivating the inner elixir to become an immortal, accumulating merit and becoming an immortal, and actually cultivating a realm and ascending... and so on, a series of paths to immortality that have been confirmed, what exactly is the so-called physical body becoming an immortal? like? What is the difference between it and the immortals achieved in other ways?

No one knows this either.

Xia Ran is only speculating. Based on various clues and legends, he thinks that it is most likely to have what he needs. In addition, in order to wait for his teammates, he simply stayed in Kunlun Mountain——

So of course, he started his exploration of Kunlun Skylight more than a year ago.

For the monks in this world, what they can't do with their own strength is not an absolutely insurmountable gorge for him, it's just a more difficult level.

Compared with his physique attribute is particularly high, his own strength is strong enough, plus he is not alone, one fell down, and there are thousands...

It can be said that I am not afraid of death, and I don't care at all, so I can pile up a result with my own corpse.

The Kunlun Skylight is far away from the earth, and it is far more than ten thousand miles away, and the higher it goes, the more intense the pure and intense spiritual power of heaven and earth is, like the ocean in a storm.

If I want to get close to Yujian, I'm afraid that the sword may destroy people before they get close to halfway.

But after spending a certain amount of time and a few lives, Xia Ran successfully approached the Kunlun Skylight, bathed in it, and understood the essence of the mystery of the body becoming a fairy through personal experience——

During the process of bathing in the Kunlun Skylight, the cultivator's own spiritual power, together with the huge spiritual power contained in the Kunlun Skylight from the outside world, will resonate wildly. If the balance cannot be maintained, the whole person will instantly disappear.

But if the balance is achieved and persisted, the inner and outer heaven and earth will meet, and the body, spirit and soul will also change.

Xia Ran was very surprised to realize that, just as she expected, in this process, the flow, change and transformation of matter, energy, and information were indeed involved—

Bathing in the Kunlun skylight, the body becomes an immortal, which means that the former mortal body is decomposed into the most basic particles under the illumination of the Kunlun skylight, and then reorganized at the pure energy level with another form of law structure.

Because it is remodeled according to the intelligence code of the self-wisdom light and soul primordial spirit, it ensures that the person is still the original person, the most crucial "spirit" has not changed, and finally succeeded in obtaining the ultimate sublimation of form and spirit. body.

This discovery made Xia Ran very excited, although he was interested in the process of change, not the result of success.

After unremitting efforts again and again, I don't know how many sacrifices I have sacrificed, and how many times I have experienced the process of becoming an immortal in the flesh, before he really figured out the key and evolved it into a fourth Waiting for the realm of the practice.

—— Refining the body into Qi, gathering and dispersing at will, this is the performance of the initial achievement of energy.

But Xia Ran's achievements can only be said to be a testament to success, indicating that this road can be traversed. After all, his advantages are huge, and his level of strength is close to this stage. He can get through at any cost, but others can't...

If he wants to really improve and let others copy this route, he still needs to spend a lot of time and energy to polish it, or spread this method out and let a large number of later practitioners slowly help him Complete.

But normally speaking, it's not a matter of chance encounters or holding an artifact to assist in the practice. The first three stages alone are enough to exhaust a lifetime of energy. It is roughly estimated that a gifted practitioner will need a period of one Jiazi to develop To be able to have the opportunity to wait for the realm of three to reach perfection.

However, the fourth stage of the cultivation of the body and the Qi realm is more than ten times more difficult than the cultivation of the immortal body in this world, although the rewards are even greater... Jumping out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Spirits, probably is the case.

Of course, that's it for now. The realm of the next stage is completely beyond his ability, so Xia Ran didn't think about it for the time being.

It is impossible to make breakthroughs in the next time, but he can continue to polish the techniques he created, so that he can completely turn his skills into immortal methods, such as sword casting, alchemy, and five spirits. Immortal magic, used to replace the previous enchantment, alchemy, magic ability and so on.

Arts and spells, spells are basic technical skills, and methods are ideas and methods. Only when the two are combined can one pursue the so-called Tao.

He has already created the Dharma, so naturally he has to have a matching technique. After 12 years of water grinding, he might really be able to leave his own Dao lineage in this world and become the ancestor of the Dao.

……

……

Mortal people look up at the sky, the nameless sun and moon are submerged, the four seasons change, and in the dark, all things have followed their karma.

The white horses have gone through the gap, and twelve years are just a snap of their fingers. The mortals work hard all day long, but they have no time to spare. The legends of the former Yanshi have long been lost in the little waves splashed by time. , few people remember.

The vast majority of the residents of Chenzhou City have long forgotten that the abbot of Qianfo Temple, who is too young today, actually came to Chenzhou more than ten years ago, and he inherited it by accident. Once the mantle of the old abbot...

After more than ten years of recuperation, Qionghua's lineage has finally recovered from the incident. Although it has not recovered to the prosperity of the year, the talents have come out in large numbers, but at least people have a glimpse of the rise. of hope.

The younger generation of disciples also spontaneously elected two leaders——

Senior Brother Ziying is proficient in the art of casting swords. At a young age, he is already one of the best in the sect, and his cultivation is so exquisite that he has reached the realm of gasification swords;

Senior Sister Xiuyu, because she entered the school late, and she is also three or four years younger, so her cultivation base is inferior, but she has also reached the realm of mutual control of sword qi, and it is more than the realm of ordinary disciples who use qi to control swords clever.

Because of the good weather in Jimo in the East China Sea and a peaceful scene, the former fishing village has developed into a coastal town in the past ten or twenty years.

And the fox immortals are indeed keeping their duties, and sheltering one side with the local unknown mountain gods, it seems that they hope to go further through the accumulation of virtue and practice, in order to go to the heaven and the fairyland in the future, or at least practice for the next life after thousands of years Lay the foundation again.

The legend of the immortals in the mountains near Jimo has also been passed down. In recent years, there have been knights in the rivers and lakes or rich and noble children holding the idea of ​​​​seeking immortals, going around, searching everywhere, and came to Jimo, so they went up the mountain to hope to meet a chance.

As for whether it was successful or not, this is hard to say. After all, even if someone really had to meet an immortal to teach the Dao, they would definitely not come back and tell everyone.

It was also in the midsummer of this year that a girl who was carrying her family's fate and ran around came to Taiping Village near Chaohu Lake. I heard that a man and a woman appeared on Qingluan Peak more than ten years ago. A sword fairy, helping the poor and the poor, helping others with righteousness——

So decisively, in the early morning of the next day, I went up the mountain without taking any pains.

The fateful grievances that have been frozen for nineteen years have also caused waves in the reincarnation once again.
