Heaven's Path

The sun shines on the top of Lingyun Peak.

Ever since Chen Yunsheng passed Fei Yunzi's so-called trial, his attitude towards Chen Yunsheng was obviously different, and he passed on a set of sword tactics to Chen Yunsheng called Fengming.

There are 64 forms in Fengming Saber Jue, and each form can be divided into eight forms, which can be described as extremely complicated.At this time, Feiyunzi showed the quality that a teacher should have, and he did everything by himself.And the power of Fengming Saber Art was really astonishing, within a month after that, the peak of Lingyun Peak was shrouded in wind and thunder.

Of course, the way Chen Yunsheng is performing now is very different, and it took a full half a year to memorize the moves of Fengming Dao Jue, and deduce the simpler moves among them.

Fei Yunzi did not teach Chen Yunsheng a new sword art, but asked him to practice Fengming's sword art repeatedly, from which he realized his own sword intent.Only in this way can he truly integrate this technique into his blood.This process was extremely slow, and it took Chen Yunsheng three years.

The practice of Containing Qi Jue did not relax at all. Chen Yunsheng broke through the middle stage of Qi training and reached the late stage of Qi training.For Chen Yunsheng, who didn't know much about the realm of cultivating immortals, he had no idea how fast he had entered.As for Fei Yunzi, a veteran of the rivers and lakes, with his lazy personality, he is unwilling to tell his apprentices how good he is, and he broke through twice in three years.

Today, Chen Yunsheng went to visit his master after finishing practicing Fengming Saber Technique.Feiyunzi was practicing in the cave, while Chen Yunsheng waited honestly without disturbing him.After a meal, Fei Yunzi stopped his work, raised his big eyelids, and said, "How long have you been practicing with me?"

"I have spent five winters here." Chen Yunsheng replied.

"It's been five years, and there are no suns and months in practice. Five years of hard work, what have you gained? What have you lost?" Fei Yunzi suddenly asked a question that surprised Chen Yunsheng.

After thinking for a while, he slowly replied: "I feel my body is getting lighter and lighter, and my heart is getting clearer and clearer. It seems that the world has become transparent. As long as you concentrate, you can perceive every grass and every thing outside the cave. Wood, a flower and a stone, the light and shade in the sea of ​​consciousness are clearly visible. Sometimes I suddenly think about some strange questions, for example, why do you come to life? Why do you die? As for the lost things...."

Chen Yunsheng paused, "I experienced life and death prematurely, and lost the innocence of my youth."

"Do you know that in the past five years, I have never introduced you to the world of cultivating immortals. What is the so-called reason?" Fei Yunzi said with a beard, noncommittal to Chen Yunsheng's previous answer.

"I don't know, Master naturally has his reasons."

As soon as he said this, Chen Yunsheng kept slandering him in his heart.During the five years, whenever he raised his searching head, he was greeted with either a sneer or a blow for some reason.It can be said that in terms of forbearance, Chen Yunsheng has already surpassed those adults who have struggled in the secular world for many years.He could completely ignore Feiyunzi's contemptuous gaze and treat Feiyunzi's words as air.

"The reason why I did this is very simple. About cultivation, it is something that cannot be said. For example, when Ri asked you to stab the mountain wall, if I told you how to use the spirit element on the first day, although your progress is faster , but lost the understanding of the hardness of the mountain wall. Lost the understanding of the role of the spirit element. Most importantly, lost a chance to temper the state of mind. "

"Back then, my senior brother once said, practice, practice, cultivate knowledge. But I don't think that bad old man is right. Practice, cultivate is state of mind, cultivate is experience, practice is not to die, practice is Survive in despair. Only those who have experienced life and death know the value of life, and only those who have experienced despair have incomparable courage and determination. Now you understand why I have set up many obstacles in your cultivation process." Feiyun Zizi spoke in his inherent old-fashioned tone.

Chen Yunsheng nodded. He is not a naughty boy. After so many things, his mood has long become extremely tough.He has his own way of judging Master's words. Regarding the principles of cultivation, although he can't completely agree with Fei Yunzi's words, at least he accepts most of them.

"Since your Taoism has been completed, it's time for you to know some common sense in the practice world. The so-called practice, that is, the cultivation of immortals in the secular population, is to integrate the energy of heaven and earth into oneself, gather less to make more, gather the rough to get the essence A method. Because it can drive the energy between the heaven and the earth, the immortal cultivator can generate a lot of extra mana out of thin air."

"In the process of cultivating immortals, there will be many tribulations and hurdles. For example, you are now in the Qi training period, which is the lowest level of cultivators. After that, you will build foundations, form alchemy, Nascent Soul, transforming gods, etc. The more you go In the future, the road to cultivating immortality will become more and more difficult, and then not only the internal strength needs to be cultivated, but also the external strength needs to be accumulated."

"And the higher the realm, the more you can understand the principle of the change of heaven and earth, which is the way of heaven. I have many misunderstandings in cultivating immortals. I think that cultivating immortals is only for longevity, which is absurd! Cultivating immortals is for the way of tomorrow, knowing the principles of heaven. If I can be a teacher someday Knowing the mysteries of the way of heaven, even if I am asked to die immediately, I will not hesitate at all, as the saying goes, it is possible to die in the morning after hearing the Tao."

Feiyunzi's eyes were burning, and he seemed to have an infinite yearning for the way of heaven.The last two sentences were actually for him, and he didn't expect Chen Yunsheng to understand.He thought to himself that he had been in the world for hundreds of years, and he had seen everything he should see and what he shouldn't see, but he became more and more confused about the existence of heaven and earth.Although the practice continues, the progress is getting smaller and smaller, it seems that it is infinitely close to a node, and it can never be surpassed.

At this moment, Chen Yunsheng also fell into the longing for the way of heaven along with Fei Yunzi.Although I don't understand it very well, I can also feel the mystery of the way of heaven from my master's five years of deep thinking. It seems that after understanding the way of heaven, all the confusions I face will be easily solved.

"You have already cultivated the Qi Containing Art to the second level. If there are no accidents, you can reach the third level in five years. At that time, I am afraid that you will succeed in building the foundation. This Qi Condensing Art can help you condense the Nascent Soul, so You must practice more in the future."

"How many weights are there in Containing Qi?" Chen Yunsheng asked.

"Ten heavy. You are now in the late stage of Qi training, and the sense of spiritual consciousness has just formed. You can use that storage bag. The so-called spiritual consciousness is a special induction of immortals, which can be condensed to sense changes in the surrounding environment. A The stronger a person's spiritual consciousness is, the more he can sense spiritual disturbances in a wider range."

"I learned from the books taught by Master that cultivating immortals includes making talismans, medicine stones, refining weapons, formations and other major categories. Is this true?" Chen Yunsheng was extremely curious about the grotesque world of cultivation that Fei Yunzi said. , said a concern.

"There are so-called inner alchemy and outer alchemy in cultivating the Tao. The so-called inner alchemy uses the body as a furnace to form the universe, the breath circulates, the way is natural, and it focuses on the improvement of the realm. The outer alchemy is just like what you said , there are imperial objects, talismans, elixirs, magic tools, arrays, psychics, etc. Most of the time in our sect, we focus on refining inner alchemy, which is also the foundation of everything. For outer alchemy, it is only recommended to study one, and it is not advocated to be greedy Be perfect. You must know that people's mental strength is limited, if too much time is spent on outer alchemy, it will hinder the great cause of cultivation."

Seeing that Chen Yunsheng still had doubts, Fei Yunzi went on to say: "For example, if a monk has profound Taoism, he is not restrained by formations or restrictions at all, and he can break it with every gesture. Imperial objects, formations, talismans, Artifact refining and alchemy are both broad and profound, and it is very difficult to achieve anything in a lifetime, so it is better to spend time on inner alchemy cultivation."

As for all kinds of common sense in the world of cultivating immortals, Fei Yunzi took the trouble to explain to Chen Yunsheng, from a person who was stingy with words like his life, suddenly became a talker who talked about everything.Regarding this change, even though Chen Yunsheng was immune to Fei Yunzi's perverseness, he was still caught off guard.

"What is a spiritual root?" Chen Yunsheng asked suddenly. He remembered that when Fei Yunzi was teaching Qi Containing Art, he had mentioned it. Taking advantage of Master's abnormality today, he hurriedly raised this question.

"Spiritual roots are the roots of practitioners. Regarding the types of spiritual roots, there is a lot of controversy in the world of immortality. Generally speaking, what kind of spiritual roots you have can practice what kind of spells."

"But it doesn't mean that the more spiritual roots you have, the better. Although you can practice other attributes, you can't master each attribute. On the contrary, it is not as good as a person with a single spiritual root on the road to immortality. go further."

"What kind of spiritual root am I?" Chen Yunsheng asked.

Feiyunzi glanced at him, noncommittal for a long time.From the look in his eyes, Chen Yunsheng could guess that it must be about the issue of the spiritual root, and the master couldn't hit him, so he hesitated and evaded his words.

"You are the root of the sky. It is a spiritual root against the sky. A practitioner with such a spiritual root can practice the five elements at will without any obstacles, just like having a pure five-element spiritual root at the same time." Feiyunzi was silent for a while , answered Chen Yunsheng.

"However," Fei Yunzi's tone turned sharply, as if he had fallen from the top of Lingyun Peak to the flat ground, "Because the Heavenly Spiritual Root is too heaven-defying, generally the holders of this kind of spiritual root cannot live long."

It was the first time that Chen Yunsheng saw Master's begging turned from cold and stern to serious, and he was faintly worried and couldn't bear it.He said freely: "If you can't live long, you will die early. Go to the banks of the Styx River to meet my parents."
