Cultivation begins with the Shen family

Chapter 52
In the training room, all spiritual energy frantically surged towards one direction, forming a huge spiritual power vortex in the room, and Shen Zhirui was sitting cross-legged in the center of the spiritual power vortex.

At this time, he was devoting himself to the nameless exercise with all his strength, and his whole body seemed to be a bottomless black hole, which was continuously devouring the spiritual power in the room.

Looking at his dantian again, the mixed spiritual power pouring into his dantian was absorbed by the green seedling and fed back into his dantian again. The spiritual power in his dantian was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Shen Zhirui had never seen this kind of growth rate of spiritual power. The amount of spiritual power he could refine by running one cycle was what he could achieve by running dozens of cycles when he was practicing "Evergreen Kung Fu".

With the passage of time, the rapidly growing spiritual power in his dantian has gathered into a torrent and began to hit the bottleneck of the ninth level of Qi training.

However, at this moment, Shen Zhirui suddenly felt that the spiritual power pouring into his body began to decrease sharply, which directly caused the spiritual power in his dantian to almost stop growing.

Seeing that the bottleneck of the ninth level of Qi training is about to be broken through, the lack of subsequent spiritual power is likely to cause the breakthrough to fall short.

When he opened his eyes anxiously, he found that the spiritual power in the training room had been almost completely absorbed by him, and the speed of inflow of spiritual energy from the outside world was far slower than the speed of his absorption.

Seeing this situation, Shen Zhirui didn't hesitate at all, and directly took out all the remaining spirit stones from the storage bag, and piled all the low-grade spirit stones around him.

All of a sudden, the aura in the training room became stronger again, and the aura emitted by hundreds of spirit stones gathered together and flowed towards his body under the guidance of the nameless exercise.

At the same time, the spiritual power in his dantian also began to increase rapidly, converging into a raging torrent, constantly hitting the bottleneck of the ninth level of Qi training, and every impact could make his dantian tremble.

Once, twice, three times.
After countless times of impact, the majestic spiritual power finally tore through the bottleneck that blocked its progress, and galloped towards the upper dantian area like a wild horse running wild.

After half a stick of incense time passed, Shen Zhirui slowly opened his eyes, and the aura exuded by his whole body was quite different from before.

"This is the Nine Levels of Qi Training"

He suppressed the joy and excitement in his heart, and carefully felt the changes brought about by the new realm.

Now he feels that his whole body is full of powerful power, the vigor of the spiritual power in his body has skyrocketed compared to the eighth level of Qi training, and even the soul seems to have become much stronger.

What surprised him the most was that his physical body, which hadn't progressed for a long time, also became stronger, and the golden-red light that bloomed from his body was brighter than before.

"It was so"

After Shen Zhirui felt the series of changes in his body, he already understood what the extra three levels of realms in this unnamed qi training chapter corresponded to.

The three extra realms obviously correspond to the three different powers of the cultivating cultivator's spiritual power, physical body, and soul.

It's just that he doesn't know the difference between the twelve-level realm of Qi training in this nameless exercise and the nine-level realm of Qi training that is popular in the world of cultivating immortals today?
In fact, what Shen Zhirui didn't know was that in the ancient times, the kung fu created by the great masters all had the twelfth level of state during the Qi training period.

It was only with the passage of time that the junior monks began to simplify the exercises in the qi training period to the ninth level, and gradually abandoned the cultivation of the body and soul.

After all, compared to the power of the physical body and the power of the soul, spiritual power is the easiest power to cultivate among the three.

The growth of spiritual power can lead to the improvement of the realm of cultivation, and the improvement of the realm of cultivation will in turn act on the two kinds of power, the body and the soul, so that the latter will also be strengthened accordingly.

Therefore, for the monks, since raising the level of cultivation can improve the power of the body and soul, why bother to practice them thanklessly, as time goes by, they all choose to practice the easiest way to improve spiritual power.

This has directly led to the fact that the popular techniques in the world of cultivating immortals are only at the ninth level during the Qi training period, and monks have to rely on their own polishing and accumulation after they have reached the ninth level of Qi training.

As long as one's spiritual power is polished to the extreme during the Qi training period, it is considered to have stepped into the realm of Qi training Dzogchen
So now most of the Qi training Dzogchen monks have at best cultivated their spiritual power to the extreme of the Qi training period, and very few monks can also cultivate their physical body and spirit to the extreme of the Qi training period.

In this way, when these qi-training Dzogchen monks break through the bottleneck of the foundation-building period, they will naturally fall due to their own lack of foundation.

This is also why the probability of monks in the Qi training period relying on their own background to build a foundation on their own is getting lower and lower, so that they have to rely on foreign objects such as foundation building pills to succeed.

Of course, these are only for ordinary monks and forces. They have no choice but to practice this simplified version of the exercises.

As for those real ancient sects and aristocratic families, what they practice are all ancient exercises that have been passed down for a long time.

These ancient skills not only have the most complete inheritance of cultivating immortals, but also far surpass the common skills of later generations in terms of power and prospects.

This is also one of the reasons why these sects and aristocratic families can stand in the world of cultivating immortals for thousands of years without falling.

. . . . . .

Just when Shen Zhirui was immersed in the joy of his cultivation breakthrough and contemplating the unnamed exercise, a jade talisman in his arms burst out with a bright light.

He quickly took out the jade talisman to check, and then hurriedly left the training room and flew towards the family meeting hall.

When he came to the family meeting hall, he immediately saw the third elder, Shen Xiangchu, and the third uncle, Shen Dao, sitting on chairs, frowning.

"Congratulations to third uncle for breaking through the ninth level of Qi training!"

Shen Zhirui stepped forward, and immediately felt the aura emanating from Shen Dao's body that was much stronger than before.

"Retreating for more than two months is finally a lucky breakthrough"

I saw that Shen Daoquan waved his hands with a smile on his face and said, when his eyes sized up the former, he couldn't help but flashed a hint of surprise.

He felt that he seemed to be unable to see through his nephew's cultivation base. Although the other party's cultivation base was only at the seventh or eighth level of Qi training, it faintly made him feel a little jealous.

But just when he was puzzled, Shen Xiangchu's vicissitudes of voice rang in the ears of both of them.

"Since Zhirui has arrived, let's discuss countermeasures."

"Third Elder, did something happen?"

After seeing the serious look on Shen Xiangchu's face, Shen Zhirui realized the seriousness of the problem.

Facing the inquiry, Shen Xiangchu said in a low voice:

"I just got the news that a large number of sandworms have invaded Shayu County, and two or three family lands have been destroyed by the sandworms."

Hearing this, Shen Zhirui's eyes suddenly darkened, knowing in his heart that he was worried that something would still happen.

If the sandworms started to invade Shayu County, their target would be the spiritual mountain on which the various families lived, trying to devour the spiritual veins under the mountain.

And if these sandworms break through the mountain gate, the entire Lingshan Mountain and the buildings on it will be completely destroyed.

At that time, these family monks who rely on the family spirit mountain to survive will face a homeless situation.

"At present, the family's defense matters have been almost arranged, and then we need to lead the clansmen to prepare for defense."
