The best little Taoist priest in the city

Chapter 1012

The earth is no longer suitable for cultivating immortals because of the withering of the true qi. Currently, the most powerful people are only in the Nascent Soul Stage, and no one has successfully broken through the Infant Transformation Stage.

Even his master, Zhong Yuanqing, is only in the Nascent Soul Stage Dzogchen, and is currently in a closed-door retreat, trying to break through the Infant Transformation Stage, and it is not certain whether he can successfully break through.

In this world where the infuriating energy is extremely thick, the difficulty of cultivation is obviously much easier than that of the earth. What kind of strength can a thousand-year-old monster achieve?

Zhongling was very curious.

Seeing Zhong Ling's question, Qiao Yuan had no choice but to answer him, so he told him truthfully: "My grandpa, my grandpa, is now in the stage of baby transformation and Dzogchen. I have always wanted to break through the fusion stage, but I can't succeed."

Zhongling was a little surprised. According to his mind, this great ancestor has practiced for 1000 years, so why should he have achieved a fusion period?How come there is no breakthrough in the infant transformation stage?

After all, his master, Zhong Yuanqing, has only practiced for less than 100 years on such a barren land on earth, and he is about to reach the infant transformation stage.His great-grandfather is in such a world full of infuriating energy, and he is also the head of a family and clan. There must be no shortage of training resources, and his training talent must be extraordinary, otherwise it would not be his turn to be the clan's great-grandfather up.

Just such a character, who has practiced for 1000 years, is still stuck in the infant transformation stage and has not continued to break through?

It shouldn't be.

He asked himself a question: "Brother Qiao, I didn't say that, I was just very curious. Your grandfather is the most prestigious person in your family, and he is also the person with the strongest cultivation base? It can be said that he guarded the city in Xicheng. Your Qiao family has been prosperous for 1000 years, right?"

Qiao Yuan nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, since the rise of my great-grandfather, he has been guarding our family for hundreds of thousands of years, ensuring that our family has no competitors in the city, and has always been the largest family in the city. .”

Zhongling nodded, and directly asked the question in his heart: "Then why is your grandfather Taizu practicing for 1000 years, and still staying in the baby transformation stage? According to the progress, when you are six or seven hundred years old, you will break through the fusion stage, right?" ?”

In fact, Zhong Ling knew nothing about the realm above the Nascent Soul Stage, what he said now was actually a guess in his mind.

Of course, he also said this on purpose.

Because if he made a mistake, it's not ashamed, and Qiao Yuan will naturally correct him.It also indirectly told him a lot of concepts about the realm of cultivation above the Nascent Soul stage.

Sure enough, when Qiao Yuan heard what Zhong Ling said, he immediately showed a very puzzled expression.

Looking at Zhongling strangely, he was a little puzzled, and said to himself: "Why would he say that? Doesn't he know anything about the infant transformation period?"

Explained: "Brother Zhongling, what you said is a bit amateurish. We cultivators practice in the early stage. As long as the talent is good enough and the resources for cultivation are sufficient, the speed of cultivation will naturally be extremely fast. Just like the two of us, Now that I have obtained the spiritual fruit of this day, as long as I eat it, my cultivation base will immediately increase by one or two levels. If there are such thousand-year-level training resources to help, the progress speed will undoubtedly be like a rocket, and it will rise rapidly. "

"However, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, it is already difficult to quickly break through the cultivation base. Unless there is a major coincidence, otherwise, the cultivation base can only be improved slowly. This is not the most difficult thing. Breaking through the baby-changing stage from the infancy period is recognized as the first hurdle for us immortal cultivators. How many immortal cultivators have failed to break through, and their cultivation base has retreated, and they have to prepare for an unknown number of years before they can break through again. Even if the road is forked, The meridians of the whole body are destroyed, and there will be no chance of breakthrough in a lifetime. It is conceivable how difficult it is to break through from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Infant Transformation Stage."

Zhong Ling was secretly surprised when he heard Qiao Yuan say this. In their world, is it so difficult for the Nascent Soul Stage to break through the Infant Transformation Stage?Known as the first hurdle for cultivators.

Since everyone recognizes that this is a hurdle that is difficult to cross, it seems that the difficulty is indeed very great.

No wonder on Earth, the whole world, for hundreds of years, there hasn't been a strong person in the infant transformation stage. This infant transformation stage is really not so easy to break through.

In this world where the cultivation resources are many times more abundant than the earth, everyone thinks that it is quite difficult to break through the infant transformation stage in the Nascent Soul Stage, so you can imagine how difficult it is on Earth!

"Master is only a hundred years old, and he can try to break through the stage of infant transformation in an environment like the earth where the true energy of the world is withered, and the possibility of success is still very high, which is enough to show that Master's cultivation talent is really outstanding. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is difficult for one peerless genius to appear in 1000 years."

Although he is also known as a peerless genius who only appears once in a thousand years, in terms of ability, he is not as good as his master.

Qiao Yuan continued: "Breakthrough from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Infant Transformation Stage is already so difficult, but on the journey of cultivating immortals, the higher you go, the more you go against the sky. Every small step of progress is already difficult. Baby If you want to break through the fusion stage, it is already extremely difficult, and those who can succeed are extremely rare, even in the entire Great Southern Realm, there are not many strong people in the fusion stage."

"Any great power in the fusion stage can sit in one side and guard for thousands of miles! My great-grandfather has guarded the side of the city for nearly a thousand years in the infant transformation stage. For thousands of years, no family power can shake my Qiao family. With the power of Xicheng, one can imagine how wide and stable a powerful power in the fusion stage can guard!"

"In fact, when my great-grandfather was four hundred years old, he had already reached the Nine Great Consummation Stages of the Infant Transformation Stage. It was only after several attempts to break through the Combined Body Stage that he failed. It’s been 600 years stuck in this bottleneck.”

"My great-grandfather was considered a genius in the sky back then, but throughout his life, after 600 years of painstaking efforts, he still failed to break through the fusion stage, so you can imagine how difficult it is to break through the fusion stage, and how slim the chance is! "

Zhongling was stunned when he heard this. Has it been 600 years since the Nine Great Consummations of the Infant Transformation Period?After operating for 600 years, it has been unable to make any progress, stuck at this stage and unable to make further breakthroughs. This feeling must be uncomfortable, right?

Moreover, it may be okay at the beginning, full of energy, full of confidence in yourself, and full of energy.But after failing several times, after being stuck for two or three hundred years, I am afraid that all confidence and enthusiasm will be wiped out, right?

By that time, you are basically desperate, and you no longer dare to have any hope for a successful breakthrough, right?

Suffering for such a long time is very hardening of a person's state of mind.

On Earth, breaking through the Infant Transformation Stage from the Nascent Soul Stage is already a natural moat, an insurmountable gap. For hundreds of years, countless ascetics have followed suit, but none of them succeeded!

And here, it seems that it is extremely difficult to break through the integration stage in the baby transformation stage, and it is not so difficult because of the rich zhenqi in the world and the abundant training resources.

Of course, in comparison, it must be much easier than the earth.After all, the earth doesn't even have strong infant transformation stage, and breaking through the fusion stage is even more unimaginable.And here, in any small town in any place, there is already a Dzogchen cultivator in the infant transformation period sitting in town.

Zhongling sighed quite a bit: "I didn't expect it to be so difficult to break through the fusion stage during the infant transformation stage? Your great-grandfather is also considered a genius, and there must be no shortage of training resources. Even he spent a lot of money After 600 years, if the breakthrough has not yet been made, then the chances of breakthrough for the rest of the cultivators will be even slimmer."

Qiao Yuan then said: "That's natural! I'm waiting for the immortal cultivator to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage, as long as the talent is not too poor, a little bit of luck, and enough hard work on your own, you can basically do it. But if you want to cultivate To reach the Infant Transformation stage, one must have a certain talent and a certain opportunity. But to break through the Fusion stage, countless immortal cultivators have stepped forward and worked hard towards this goal, and there are very few who may achieve it."

Zhongling nodded, knowing that the Nascent Soul stage on the earth is already at its apex, but in this world, the fusion stage is not necessarily the apex.

Above the fusion period, there must be a boss in the transcending catastrophe period.It's just that the number is very rare, extremely rare.

Qiao Yuan saw that Zhongling didn't seem to understand these high realms, so he asked: "Brother Zhongling, I think you seem to have only a half-knowledge about high realms, don't you seem to understand?"

Zhongling smiled wryly and said truthfully: "That's because where I came from, everyone's cultivation is generally very low, and the highest among them is only in the Nascent Soul Stage, and there are no strong ones in the Infant Transformation Stage. stage, and the realm above the infant transformation stage, I don’t know anything about it.”

Qiao Yuan was surprised, and said a little surprised: "Really? Are the people in your place generally so low in cultivation? The highest is only the Nascent Soul stage? Here, the Nascent Soul stage strong people walk around everywhere. That is at least common. For example, my father, for example, many relatives in our family, among them, there are no less than a few dozen strong Nascent Soul stage!"

Zhongling was stunned. On Earth, if a sect had ten strong Nascent Soul Stage masters, it would already be considered one of the top sects.But here, there is only a cultivating family in a small local town, but there are dozens of Nascent Soul stage powerhouses!

This gap is indeed very large!

Qiao Yuan went on to say: "But although Brother Zhongling comes from a small place and has a very low realm ceiling, he is extremely outstanding in terms of talent and fighting methods. Many of us are not your opponents. Even the big brother of the Yaowangzong Brother Qiao Yuan, your cultivation level is about the same as yours, but your combat power is far behind you. Competing at the same level, brother Zhongling, you are still very competitive."

Zhongling smiled slightly, thinking that he has always been invincible against the same level, and he has never met anyone of the same level and defeated himself!

Zhongling then humbly asked for advice: "I heard from Brother Qiao that in your place, the fusion stage is already considered a rare existence. What about the higher stage of crossing the catastrophe? Is there any? How many are there?"

Qiao Yuan's face changed slightly when he heard what Zhongling said, and he was startled.

With a wry smile, he replied: "The period of crossing the catastrophe...that is an existence that even I dare not imagine! After all, my great-grandfather exhausted his whole life and lived for more than a thousand years, and even he failed to break through the period of crossing the catastrophe. Naturally, I dare not even think about it!"

"In our world, of course there is a period of transcending tribulations, but they are all legendary existences. I have never seen such a small person. Don't say that I have never seen it. It is my parents, all around me. Relatives, as well as all living beings, almost most people have not seen the peerless powerhouses of the Transition Tribulation Period, have they? They exist, but the gods and dragons can’t see the end, and they almost only exist in the legends passed on by word of mouth.”

"Every senior in the Transcending Tribulation Period is an unborn alien immortal, and rarely shows up in the mortal world. It is difficult to alert them to take action in general disputes, unless it is about a major event such as the life and death of a family or the destruction of a family. They will take care of it. Therefore, because of this, if we ordinary cultivators want to see a misty existence of a great power in the tribulation period, the chances are very low."

After Qiao Yuan finished speaking, he said in his heart that he usually just wanted to meet a big guy in the fusion stage, and those big people can't see it if they want to see it, let alone the transcending tribulation stage of existence?

Even in the infant transformation period, Qiao Yuan, the great grandfather of their family, was not often seen, and in other infant transformation stages, it was even more difficult to see once.

Therefore, except for his great-grandfather's baby-transformation stage powerhouse, it is difficult to see other baby-transformation stage powerhouses once, let alone the fusion stage and the almost non-existent crossing tribulation stage!

When Zhong Ling heard this answer, he nodded silently, but it was similar to what he imagined.

In this world, there are bound to be Tribulation Stages, but the number is extremely rare, and because the level is too high, detached from the world, it is not too involved in the secular world. Ordinary people will never have the opportunity to see a Tribulation Stage in their entire lives. strong.

So, what about beyond the tribulation period?What is it?It is said that it is the existence of breaking away from true qi and starting to practice spiritual qi?

Zhong Ling simply asked the question: "Since there are so few strong people in your world in the Transcendence Tribulation Period, then what exists after breaking through the Transcendence Tribulation Period?"

Qiao Yuan saw that Zhongling's questioning became more and more exaggerated, so he opened his mouth wide in shock.

But thinking that he comes from a small place where the highest level is only the Nascent Soul stage, it is normal for him to be ignorant and curious about these high levels.

Then he continued to explain patiently: "It is almost impossible to successfully cross the catastrophe in our Great Southern Territory during the tribulation period. You must go to the Central Continent, which is the center of the whole world. It’s at least ten times more dense here, and the air also contains a higher level of gas—the aura of heaven and earth.”

"Once the catastrophe is successful, the body will successfully condense the Dao Embryo, which can absorb the aura of heaven and earth! Therefore, the Dao Embryo is also called the Spirit Embryo. Once it can absorb the aura of heaven and earth for its own use, it will be terrible, because the aura is extremely pure And the highly effective air of heaven and earth, inhaling it into the body can immediately improve the physique, greatly enhance the quality of all aspects of the body, and the life expectancy will also increase exponentially. If you live to [-] or [-] years old, it will not be a big deal."
