Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Not to mention the art of controlling spirits explained in detail in the Way of Animals, there is a method of refining bones and tempering the body in the Way of Shura, called Shura's Body. This method specializes in cultivating the physical body.

Asura means non-heaven, so the asura path is also called the non-heaven realm. Although it has the abilities of heaven and humans, it does not have the virtues of heaven and humans.

Therefore, it is a kind of monster that is neither a god, nor a ghost, nor a human being, and is between gods, ghosts, and humans. Shura represents the most powerful force in the world.

Once you have mastered it, you can move mountains and seas with your bare hands. This is the supreme secret method for tempering the physical body.

Apart from this method of tempering the body, there is a magical power recorded in the human world, called the method of reversing the five elements, the universe and the body. It is essentially a space-type magic method, and has the effect of lifting a thousand catties in four ounces.

The most mysterious of the Six Paths is the Heavenly Path, which does not contain any magical powers. What is recorded are all anecdotes and secret records of powerful monks throughout the ages pursuing immortality. And finally concluded that if you want to ascend to the immortal world and live forever, you need to cut off the seven emotions and six desires of the monks themselves and reach the state of being ruthless and desireless.

Tang Ning just smiled when she saw this, not to mention whether the deeds of these powerful monks seeking immortality were true or false, but just talking about the condition of immortality, which eliminated all emotions and six desires.

How can this be?

As long as we are human, we have desires.

Isn’t the pursuit of eternal life a kind of lust? If you are heartless and have no desires, how can you cling to eternal life? This in itself is contradictory.

Not to mention humans, all living things in the world have desires. If there is no desire, wouldn’t they become walking corpses? What's the point of immortality for a walking corpse?

Furthermore, the characters recorded above are also quite ridiculous, and they are millions of years apart.

The oldest person is named Feng Qinghan. There is actually someone named Feng in this world, not to mention the strange surname.

According to the book, this person is from the fifth era, that is, from eight million years ago.

According to the era method of the cultivation world, the era Tangning is currently in is the thirteen eras. Each era is one million years. These million years are divided into A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui ten branches.

Each branch is one hundred thousand years old, so the current accurate date is the year 712 of the Thirteenth Dao Ji Ding branch. Even for monks, one hundred thousand years is too long. No one in this world can live that long. Even the top monks in the world only live for ten thousand years, let alone an era.

Therefore, all recording methods in the world directly say "how many years was Daoding", omitting the two long rivers of Ji and Zhi.

Otherwise, when you go to the market to buy or sell things, or when you enter or leave the sect, you have to mark the age of the Thirteenth Dao Ji Ding Branch. Isn’t this crazy?

At the beginning of the era, all the time before the first day of January of the first lunar month of the first era is called the ancient period.

What is ancient times? That is, before the human race gained a foothold, ferocious beasts were everywhere, and monsters were rampant, feeding on the human race.

The human race had no choice but to hide in the deep mountains and ravines to survive.

On the first day of the first month of the first year of the First Dao Era, on this day, several powerful tribes of the human race formed an alliance in Jinshui and summoned the world. Within a few years, nearly ten million human monks rushed to Jinshui to enter. The alliance was known as the Jinshui Alliance in history.

From this moment on, Tianyuan Continent began to enter a new era.

Since then, the human race, the demon race and the ferocious beasts have fought for millions of years of war in order to compete for the soil for survival. In the end, the human race has won a great victory.

Those ancient ferocious beasts had low reproductive capacity and were mostly single figures. Therefore, after the human race occupied most of Tianyuan's territory, they were gradually hunted and killed by the human race. Now there are few traces of them and they are almost extinct.

The demon race lives in groups. Although it is suppressed by the human race, it still survives tenaciously and thrives in a corner.

The human race gradually gained an overwhelming advantage in the long-term struggle against the ferocious beasts and demons. The ferocious beasts were almost extinct, and the demons retreated to Yongzhou, partially hiding in the Tiannan swamp and Mubei grassland.

At that time, the human race was powerful and far surpassed the demon race, but they did not take advantage of the victory and kill them all. It was not because of kindness, but because of internal divisions.

At that time, after millions of years of struggle, the human monks developed two concepts of cultivation.

A kind of general outline of practice that is based on the way of heaven, follows nature, and pays attention to step by step, is called Xuanfa. Later generations called it Xuanmen. Although its techniques are ever-changing, they remain true to the general outline, which is based on breathing and breathing in and out, and obeying nature and people.

The other kind uses flesh and blood as its body and its soul as its guide. It desperately tries to seize life, goes against the laws of nature, and only serves to save oneself. This is called the Holy Dharma. Later, he was called the Demon Sect by the world. His cultivation method did not focus on breathing and exhalation, but was based on his own soul, flesh and blood, and was constantly tempered.

Therefore, the methods practiced by the Demon Sect monks today are inseparable from the soul, flesh and blood.

Like the Blood and Bone Sect, most of its techniques are formed by one's own flesh and blood.

For example, the Corpse Puppet Sect also uses the bodies of monks to refine corpse puppets.

The two factions accused each other, gradually began to friction, and eventually a civil war broke out. This war lasted for nearly a million years, and Xuanfa won the final victory.

The top monks of the Holy Law sect were all killed and injured, and the Xuanfa sect also suffered heavy losses. The vitality of the human race was severely damaged, and it was no longer able to exterminate the demon race, thus forming the current situation.

It is very absurd that people from eight million years ago are recorded in this book.

In the past eight million years, the sea has been destroyed several times. How could this book be intact? Therefore, it could only be recorded by people today.

How is it possible for people today to know the stories of people eight million years ago? Even the four major sects of Xuanmen may not have such ancient information.

The four major sects were established by the Seventh Daoji. The specific date is January 1, the 60th year of the Bing branch of the Seventh Daoji. On this day, the Shangqing sect, the Daode sect, the Yuxu sect, and the Taixuan sect were founded at the same time.

It is certainly not a coincidence that the four major Taoist sects were established at the same time, but a deliberate decision.

The reason is that in the fifty-ninth year of Bingzhi of the Seventh Dao Ji, in a life-and-death battle between the Xuanmen and the Xuanmen, Xuanmen won a great victory and defeated the Demon Sect, which was known in history as the Battle of Demon-Slaying Valley.

The place where the battle took place was called Demon Killing Valley by later generations.

After the battle in the Demon-Slaying Valley, Xuanmen established its victory in the struggle against the Demon Sect, so on January 1, the 60th year of Bingzhi, the four major sects were established.

Its predecessors were the four strongest factions among the entire Xuanmen monks. The original purpose of the establishment of the four major sects was to recruit heroes from all over the world and clear away the remnants of the Demon Sect.

After the defeat of the Demon Sect, they lost all their elites, so they hid themselves in various states and counties.

The great monks of Xuanmen established sects in various states and counties. The four major sects were originally the four strongest forces in Xuanfa. The other sects established naturally followed their orders.

There are many founders of sects and sects who were originally disciples of the four major sects. They were ordered by the sects to establish Xuanmen in various places and wipe out the remnants of the Demon Sect. Naturally, the original sects followed suit.

As a result, the four major sects are the leaders in Taoism in the world, and they continue to this day.

Those cultivating families were originally tribes that participated in the Jinshui Alliance. During the confrontation with the demon clan and ferocious beasts, some tribes gradually developed and grew. After the human race won, they returned to their original habitats and became local tyrants. A wealthy family on one side.

After Xuanmen defeated the Demon Sect, some tribes were liquidated. Because they believed in the Demon Sect's practice philosophy, the remaining tribes were either originally supporters of Xuanfa.

Either they can see the situation clearly in time, switch to Xuanfa, and abandon the Demon Sect. As a result, the strength of these families will be greatly reduced, and those who are stubborn will be exterminated.

Gradually, only four powerful tribes remained among them, which are today's Jiang family, Ji family, Ying family, and Yao family.

The Jiang family originally belonged to the Shennong tribe and lived on the banks of the Jiangshui River in Qingzhou, so they took Jiang as their surname. After the human race won the victory, they returned to the bank of the Jiangshui River and have dominated the country ever since.

The Ji family originally belonged to the Shaodian tribe and lived on the bank of Jishui River in Yangzhou, so they took Ji as their surname.

The Ying family originally belonged to the Lianshan tribe and lived on the banks of the Ying River in Jingzhou, so they took Ying as their surname.

The Yao family originally belonged to the Lieshan tribe and lived on the banks of the Yao River in Liangzhou, so they took Yao as their surname.

These four families all believe in Xuanfa and are their supporters. During the battle with the Demon Sect, these four families contributed a lot.

In ancient times, the human race did not have surnames. They took the name of the tribe and lived in the water and grass. Most of them lived in the land with water. They were all the sons of a certain clan. It was not until the ferocious beasts were eliminated and the demon clan was expelled that the names were derived.

To sum up, this is the origin of the four major sects and the four major families.

The book records that eight million years ago, a great monk named Feng Qinghan sought immortality in order to ascend to the immortal world.

He actually went crazy and killed all his children, his wife and children, including everyone who had anything to do with him, euphemistically saying that he cut off the cause and effect, in order to achieve a state of ruthlessness and no desire.

It is unknown whether he finally ascended to the immortal world.

None of the characters recorded in this book have clearly ascended to the so-called fairy world, and all have vague and vague conclusions.

Tangning only scanned it casually, then put it aside and turned out another book. She saw that it described in detail the method of making the puppet shell and the sealing roll.

It turns out to be here! He was overjoyed, but frowned after reading it. Making the puppet shell and sealing paper was not simple. He had never even heard of several materials required. Where could he get these materials?

An Bohuai comes from Mubei Grassland, where the land is vast and rich in resources. It may not be difficult to obtain these materials, but in this small Xingang, getting these things is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack.

Tangning sighed slightly and put the book away. The spells recorded in the Hell Realm and the Evil Ghost Realm can only be put aside for now. If there is a chance, we can talk about it in Xingang in the future!

He picked up the black Taoist robe and observed it carefully for a while, but found no mystery, and his spiritual detection also found nothing.

It is certain that this robe is definitely not a magic weapon, and there is no trace of spiritual power on it.

He took out the golden bowl with his left hand and pointed it toward it. The golden bowl rose in the wind and shot out a golden light that hit the Taoist robe without any abnormal sound, just like mud entering the sea. There was no trace of spiritual power flowing on the surface of the Taoist robe. , the golden light struck the Taoist robe as if it was absorbed by it, without any movement at all.

The Taoist robe was not damaged at all. Tang Ning put away the golden bowl with a move of her hand. He picked up the Taoist robe and inspected it carefully. He couldn't help but marveled at it. It was such a good thing. It obviously had no spiritual power to operate, but even a high-grade spiritual weapon could not do anything about it.

What exactly is it made of that can have such an effect?
