Chapter 40 The Way to Immortality
The preaching scene in the sea of consciousness is no different from what I have seen before.
I don’t know if it’s because I haven’t seen this scene for too long, but I always feel a bit immersive.
When I listened to Zhenyuan Daxian’s preaching before, it felt a bit like watching TV in my previous life.
Although I can see the scene clearly, it’s hard to feel immersed in it.
And this time, I always feel like I am also under the ginseng fruit tree.
The content at the beginning is still the same as before.
First, the way of earthly immortals is explained, and the cave paradise is introduced.
Next, it is the Shenmu Cantian Gong that Liu Yuanchen has learned.
Even if it is the content that he has already heard, Liu Yuanchen is still listening carefully.
Because Zhenyuan Daxian’s preaching is not just reciting the exercises, but also includes his understanding of the exercises, and will involve some related things.
Although Shenmu Cantian Gong is just a technique he created casually, it is also profound.
When he first got Shenmu Cantian Gong, his understanding of this technique was still relatively superficial.
Later, when he entered into meditation several times, he listened carefully to the explanation of Zhenyuan Daxian, and benefited a lot every time.
This time was the same. After listening to it again, he had some new insights.
After the content of Shenmu Cantian Gong was finished, Liu Yuanchen heard the third paragraph again.
According to Zhenyuan Daxian, Shenmu Cantian Gong is just a method to lay the foundation on the road of cultivation.
After the Shenmu Cantian Gong is successfully cultivated, you can continue to practice the subsequent exercises.
The third paragraph is considered to be the method of cultivation after Shenmu Cantian Gong, named "Ku Mu Changsheng Gong".
Shenmu Cantian Gong is very similar to the Qigong of Yuanlingjie, both of which absorb and refine the spiritual energy of the outside world.
And this Ku Mu Changsheng Gong has no direct connection with spiritual energy and magic power.
The method records that all living beings in the world are born with innate qi.
There are many sayings about innate qi, such as innate origin, innate qi, etc.
Living beings eat, drink, defecate, live, grow old, get sick and die, all of which depend on the circulation of innate qi in the body.
The innate qi will continue to dissipate during the process of circulation.
When the innate qi is insufficient, the body of the living being will instinctively reduce its loss.
At this time, the living being will slowly age and all aspects of its abilities will decline.
However, the instinct of the living being cannot completely prevent the dissipation of the innate qi.
When the innate qi is depleted to the point where it cannot be maintained, the living being will die.
The dead wood longevity exercise is to extend the life span by reducing the dissipation of the innate qi.
The so-called dead wood is not a truly dead tree, but a tree that has fallen leaves.
In the cold season, trees will preserve their vitality as much as possible by shedding leaves.
The dead wood longevity exercise is to imitate the means of tree leaf shedding to reduce the loss of innate qi as much as possible.
The entire dead wood longevity exercise is divided into four levels, namely falling leaves, dead wood, rotten wood, and rejuvenation.
The energy in the body of an ordinary person is dissipating all the time.
The falling leaves level is to reduce this dissipation. After reaching this level, the energy dissipation of the human body can be reduced by 30%.
This energy covers a wide range, including the spirit, energy and spirit, and even the various fluctuations of the human body such as smell and mana will fade, and the innate energy is naturally included.
The upper limit of the lifespan of a cultivator in the Yangqi realm is 120 years, that is, without serious damage, the innate energy can maintain the loss of 120 years.
When practicing the dead wood longevity skill to the fallen leaf level, the dissipation rate of the innate energy is reduced by 30%, which is only 70%.
In this way, the lifespan is more than 170 years.
The lifespan of a cultivator in the Qihai realm is 240 years, and the dissipation rate of the innate energy is only 70%, so the lifespan is more than 340 years.
There is no essential difference between the dead wood level and the fallen leaf level, but the function is further improved.
The fallen leaves of trees are still alive, while the dead wood further converges the vitality, making the trees like dead things.
At the dead wood level, the dissipation rate of various energies in the human body, including the innate energy, is reduced by 60%, which is only 40%.
At this level, cultivators in the Qi Yang Realm have a lifespan of 300 years, and cultivators in the Qi Hai Realm have a lifespan of 600 years.
When you reach the level of rotten wood, you will see a fundamental change.
Just like rotten wood, it blends with the soil and has no obvious boundary with the world.
My body is part of the world, where can the energy be dissipated?
If the innate qi is no longer dissipated, you can live forever.
Trees shed their leaves not to die and eventually become rotten wood.
Rather, they do so to preserve their vitality, and when spring comes, they will grow new leaves and start a new life.
The dead wood longevity technique imitates trees, and naturally it is the same.
The first three levels of converging innate qi are all to lay the foundation for the rejuvenation level.
At the rejuvenation level, the body can absorb energy from between heaven and earth and condense new innate qi from it.
At this point, the innate qi is endless, and there is no need to consider the issue of lifespan.
All kinds of kryptonian forbidden techniques can be thrown at will.
Unfortunately, the third paragraph of Zhenyuan Daxian's sermon only talked about the cultivation methods of the first three levels of the Dead Wood Longevity Technique.
The final rejuvenation level was not mentioned.
However, Liu Yuanchen was overjoyed that there was hope of cultivating the first three levels to reach the realm of immortality.
The Dead Wood Longevity Technique gathers the energy that should have been dissipated in the body, and the energy in the body will naturally increase.
The innate qi that was intercepted will naturally continue to maintain the operation of the body.
The intercepted qi, blood, mana and other energies will be transformed into new energies and gathered in the kidney meridian and heart meridian respectively.
As for what role these energies can eventually play and how to use them, the first three levels of the Dead Wood Longevity Art did not mention it.
After listening to this sermon, Liu Yuanchen was ecstatic.
This Dead Wood Longevity Art is much more advanced than the previous Shenmu Cantian Art. Shenmu Cantian Art is just a foundation, and this time it is a method of longevity.
For more than half a year before, the situation of preaching has not appeared, and now I have figured it out.
The law cannot be passed on lightly, let alone the method of longevity.
Zhenyuan Daxian has not finished preaching yet, he suppressed the waves in his heart and listened quietly.
Although he did not understand the content at all, he still listened carefully.
After the sermon was finished, the scene of the sermon turned into a green stream of light again and merged into the immortal seed.
Then, Liu Yuanchen began to comprehend the content of the first two levels of the Dead Wood Longevity Art.
And according to the content, slowly change the state of operation of the body.
If you want to reduce the dissipation rate of various energies in the body, it is not something that can be achieved by simply practicing the exercises.
The Dead Wood Longevity Exercise is a slow and steady effort. It achieves the purpose of reducing the dissipation rate of the innate qi by slowly transforming the body's operating state.
Liu Yuanchen thought of the bleak autumn wind, the withered and yellow grass and leaves falling one after another.
At the same time, he kept imagining that when the trees shed their leaves, the vitality in the body gradually became restrained.
After trying for a long time, he still couldn't get started.
"It seems that if you want to comprehend the essence of the Dead Wood Longevity Exercise, you can't just rely on fantasy.
You have to find an opportunity to experience the state of the trees falling leaves at close range in the future."
He stopped practicing the exercises, and there was no frustration on his face, but a smile on his face.
Although the Dead Wood Longevity Exercise failed to be successfully practiced, the exercises are here. As long as you slowly think about it, there will always be a day when you can practice it successfully.
Moreover, the Dead Wood Longevity Exercise and the Divine Wood Cantian Exercise complement each other.
People who have not practiced the Divine Wood Cantian Exercise cannot get started even if they are extremely talented.
If you practice the Shenmu Cantian Gong to a high level, it will be much easier to practice the Kumu Changsheng Gong.
If you can't practice it now, you will succeed when you make more progress in the Shenmu Cantian Gong.
This time, when he entered into a state of meditation, the scene of Zhenyuan Daxian preaching appeared in his sea of consciousness again, and he also got the method of longevity.
The energy consumed in building the temple and worshipping before was not worth mentioning.
Then, he offered three incense sticks to Zhenyuan Daxian and thanked him again and again.
It took several days to build the Earth Immortal Temple.
The peach pits of the Bishui Lingtao and the poisonous thorn vines planted before have sprouted.
Like the spiritual plants cultivated by Yimu Peiyuan Technique before, Liu Yuanchen can use them as ears and eyes to observe the surrounding situation.
He sensed the circulation of qi and blood in his body. At this time, the qi and blood in the hand Taiyin lung meridian were the most vigorous.
According to the law of Ziwu Liuzhu, it is now the Yin hour, that is, three to five in the morning, and the sky will soon be bright.
After packing up his things, he hurriedly left the spiritual realm.
In the cave outside the spiritual realm, he sensed the green water peach saplings and poisonous thorn vines, and could still see the situation around them.
"It seems that the spiritual realm can't block my perception of spiritual plants."
After that, he left Qingshi Mountain and headed all the way to Yujin Mountain.
The sky in the east was slightly red, and the black fog on Wuyun Ridge began to slowly dissipate.
At this time, Liu Yuanchen also came to Yujin Mountain.
According to the requirements of the task, patrol the situation within fifty miles around Yujin Mountain.
At the same time, he can also look for trees that will shed leaves in autumn and winter, so as to practice the dead wood longevity skill.
Unfortunately, there is a big spiritual vein on Wuyun Ridge. Even in a place like Yujin Mountain without a spiritual pivot, there is some spiritual energy.
Even ordinary plants can be completely fearless of autumn frost and winter snow if they absorb spiritual energy for a long time, and they don't need to shed leaves at all.
Far away from Wuyun Ridge, where the spiritual energy is relatively thin but there is a water source, there are big trees with fallen leaves.
For example, the Liu family's salt lake is at the end of the Qingshui River, where the spiritual energy is thin.
Liu Yuanchen has lived there for more than ten years and knows it quite well.
Every autumn and winter, the trees near the salt lake will shed their leaves.
There are also trees that shed their leaves in many places in the lower reaches of the Qingshui River.
After finishing the work here, I still have to go there.
After completing the patrol, I returned to Yujin Mountain to rest.
Not long after resting, he suddenly sensed that someone was approaching him.
Liu Yuanchen hurriedly put on the dark cloud robe, performed the wood shadow escape, and hid himself.
Not long after, a sneaky figure came to the Yujin Mountain spiritual field.
This person looks quite young, only in his early twenties.
He is of medium height, medium build, and ordinary appearance. He will not be found in the crowd.
He is wearing the standard Taoist robe of the Demon Cloud Sect. It is obvious that he is an evil cultivator sent by the Demon Cloud Sect to explore the way.
This person's cultivation is not high, that is, the ninth level of nourishing qi, and has not yet reached the peak of nourishing qi.
Liu Yuanchen felt a little strange: "The people sent to explore the way before were all cannon fodder. Why would the Demon Cloud Sect be willing to send its own disciples to explore the way this time?
However, we have killed several evil cultivators of the ninth level of Qi before, so killing another one is not a big deal."
Thinking of this, he quietly approached.
He walked behind the spy and smashed the wind and thunder stick at the back of his head.
Suddenly, the scene in front of Liu Yuanchen was distorted.
The Wind and Thunder Stick fell, but hit nothing.
The evil young man had already hidden three feet away.
Liu Yuanchen reacted instantly and realized that he had encountered a tough opponent this time. He quickly used the Wood Shadow Escape and disappeared without a trace.
The young evil cultivator sneered: "Wind and Thunder Stick, Mountain-Splitting Stick Technique, Cang Yuan Qi, it seems that you are Zhao Hong's disciple Liu Yuanchen.
The people of Bahuang Pavilion still haven't made much progress, they all like to attack from behind."
Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen was shocked: "This guy not only has extraordinary means, but also extraordinary knowledge. He actually knows Bahuang Pavilion and my inheritance.
Moreover, this guy is quite disdainful of Bahuang Pavilion.
Obviously, the power behind him is definitely at the same level as Bahuang Pavilion.
Master once said that the Demon Cloud Sect is supported by a large force outside the Red Wasteland.
The young evil cultivator in front of him is likely to be from the large force behind the Demon Cloud Sect.
Even the master is quite afraid of the force, and the power of his disciples must be good.
Moreover, he just dodged the attack of the wind and thunder stick in a flash.
I can't see any clues about the means he used."
"This person's cultivation is higher than mine, and his means are weird and cannot be matched."
Thinking of this, Liu Yuanchen used all his strength to perform the Wood Shadow Escape and fled to Jintong Mountain.
There are several Qi Hai Realm cultivators in the Jintongshan Mine, so no matter how strong the young evil cultivator is, he dare not chase after him.
Seeing Liu Yuanchen running away, the young evil cultivator chased after him with a smile on his face.
He did not walk fast, just like taking a walk.
But his speed was extremely terrifying, not inferior to Liu Yuanchen at all.
No matter how Liu Yuanchen performed the escape technique, the distance between the two of them always remained about five feet.
"Wood Shadow Escape is only the inheritance of Qingdan Sect. This kind of rubbish spell is still useful in front of the native cultivators of Chihuangyuan.
But in front of me, it's like child's play.
You don't have to be afraid of me. Bahuang Pavilion is famous for protecting its shortcomings. You must have a way to save your life.
With my ability, I can't take you down."
Liu Yuanchen changed direction many times, and he was always able to follow closely behind.
After confirming that the hiding effect of Wood Shadow Escape was useless, Liu Yuanchen simply showed his figure.
"Since you know, why are you following me?
Aren't you afraid that I will use my last resort to save my life and kill you here?"
The young evil cultivator chuckled: "Since I dare to chase you, I am naturally not afraid of you.
I came here to investigate the situation, but I never thought I would run into you. It's really a narrow road for enemies.
I am the descendant of Feixian Sect, and I have been an old rival of your Bahuang Pavilion for tens of thousands of years."
Hearing this, Liu Yuanchen was a little surprised. His master had never mentioned Feixian Sect.
"My master never mentioned Feixian Sect to me. He only said that there is a big force outside the region supporting the Demon Cloud Sect, and that big force is also at odds with my Bahuang Pavilion.
So, the big force behind the Demon Cloud Sect is Feixian Sect?"
The evil young man was full of anger: "Zhao Hong is really arrogant. He actually despises my Feixian Sect so much."
Seeing that he was so resentful of his master, Liu Yuanchen tried to probe: "A few days ago, my master went to fight with an old enemy.
What is the relationship between my master's old enemy and you?"
The evil young man snorted coldly: "Your master's old enemy is my master.
My Feixian Sect and your Bahuang Pavilion have been enemies for generations."
