Chapter 19 Do You Want to Die?

Just as Li Yan began to sink into the pool, the expression of the military advisor Ji on the shore suddenly relaxed a little, "Persist until you absorb two-thirds of the medicinal power, just like the last disciple, but if this is the case, with his mixed spiritual roots, it will be even more difficult for him to refine the medicinal power to the first level of Qi Condensation. No matter what, we still need to try it. I hope it won't be like last time."

At that moment, he didn't think much about it. He pushed the ground with his feet and jumped into the air. His arms stretched out in parallel, and his sleeves swelled in the wind, like a black roc flying towards the surface of the pool. The moment he approached the water surface, he threw his sleeves to those who were still on the water. The black air that was swirling and surging on his face shook, and with a "bobobo" sound, ten strands of black air had collapsed into wisps of thin black smoke and scattered everywhere. Then he dived in the air, and his other hand stretched out from his sleeves to grab Li Yan, who had begun to sink under the water. With a "wow" sound, Li Yan was grabbed by his chest and dragged out of the water. Then he touched the water surface with his toes, and then his body folded in the air and flew to the shore with Li Yan. At this time, the unconscious Li Yan swayed in his hand as if he had no weight, and his body floated to the shore like a wisp of light smoke. These few moves were quick and agile.

What he didn't realize was that when he flicked the black air on the water with his left hand, a golden light broke out of the strange book that he usually kept in his sleeve but held tightly, and then it was mixed in the disintegrating black smoke on the water. It passed through the black smoke and rushed towards Li Yan's body at a very fast speed, and disappeared in a flash.

After landing on the shore, Master Ji laid Li Yan flat on the shore, then quickly formed a few hand seals on his chest, pointed at Li Yan's abdomen, and a few green lights flew in.

Li Yan's body trembled, and then he returned to a calm state. Master Ji saw this and frowned, and then formed a few more hand seals, forming more green lights that flew into Li Yan's abdomen, but this time Li Yan's body didn't even react.

Ji Junshi frowned, walked quickly to Li Yan, bent down, and probed Li Yan's nose with his finger. His frown deepened, and he said to himself, "This is strange. The person is not dead, but he can't wake up. Last time, he woke up with just one spiritual energy entering his body. Why is it like this this time?" He stood up straight, put his hand on his forehead, and thought.

At this moment, Li Yan's body was already raging with fire poison. Wherever it passed, the meridians were destroyed. Just when his life was on the verge of extinction, another inexplicable force suddenly grew in his body. This force was extremely huge, like a tide, cool and turbulent, passing through every part of his body at a very fast speed. The meridians that were previously burned and damaged by the fire poison were recovering at a terrifying speed after the tide passed, and the fire poison was also pressed to a corner of the body by this huge force. When the green light of Master Ji entered his body, his mind suddenly became clear. The hard training for dozens of days has made him instinctive. Just when he was about to sit up to refine the power of today's medicine, he suddenly heard a voice in his mind shouting "Do you want to die?", and his mind buzzed, and he lost consciousness.

r>  After an unknown amount of time, maybe a short while, maybe a long time, Li Yan woke up slowly. Just when he was about to open his eyes, a voice in his mind slowly said, "Don't open your eyes first, otherwise you may be close to death." Li Yan was stunned and wanted to ask, but found that he couldn't make a sound. In a hurry, he wanted to look around, but found that he couldn't open his eyes. "I told you not to open your eyes, but you didn't listen, and you also wasted my limited mana." The voice came slowly, and the voice was full of a trace of fatigue.

Li Yan was shocked and thought, "Is this death? Is hell so dark? I can't see, and even talking is a luxury." At this moment, he suddenly felt dizzy in his mind, and then many images flashed in front of his eyes. Finally, when he saw clearly, he found himself on a small piece of black lake, and his body was suspended above it. The sky was also dark. This small piece of lake had no wind or waves, and it was very quiet, which made people feel depressed. He could neither fall down nor rise to a higher place in the sky, so he could only stand there.

Just as he looked around in confusion, the air in front of him suddenly began to blur and distort. This distorted picture had various black lines twisting, interweaving, and overlapping, and finally slowly formed a blurry figure. After this figure was formed, it slowly walked towards him, and then the blurry figure gradually became clear. Li Yan also gradually saw the appearance of this blurry figure. This is an old man, tall, with long snow-white hair scattered to his shoulders, a stern face, a clear face, and eyes like deep water, deep and unfathomable, as if he could see through a thousand years and penetrate this long time and space. He was wearing a gray long gown, but his face looked listless, but there was a kind of momentum rushing towards him while he was walking, making him extremely unstable and shaking his body involuntarily for a few times.

Li Yan smiled bitterly and thought, "Is this the Avici Hell that Buddhists often talk about in books? Below should be the Shura Sea of ​​Hell. This person should be the soul-catching messenger, but at least he doesn't look scary." The old man slowly walked in front of him, staring at him, cold air filled the air, and the space seemed to be frozen. Then he slowly said, "If I had woken up a little later, you would have died."

Li Yan was stunned and couldn't help but say, "My Lord, am I dead? Otherwise, why did I come to this hell?"

After saying this, he was even more shocked. When could he speak? Wasn't he speechless just now? I guess his soul has left his body, and it is undoubtedly his soul that is speaking now.

The old man was stunned when he heard this, but a smile appeared on his clear face. "Do you think it's your soul? But what you said is true, but it's not true either."

Li Yan hesitated when he heard this and said, "Why do you say that, envoy? I was in the valley of Qingshanai just now, and suddenly I came here. If it's not my soul being hooked, then what else could it be?"

The old man raised a playful smile when he heard Li Yan's words. "I said you are now in your own sea of ​​consciousness, oh, that is, in your spiritual space, do you believe it?"

Li Yan was stunned. "Sea of ​​consciousness? My spiritual space?" He had never heard of the sea of ​​consciousness, but he still understood some of his own spiritual space. When he was practicing, he used meditation to drive the spirit with his mind, so the spiritual power was also called the mind in the martial arts world.

"My body appeared in the mind of my mind?" Li Yan showed a strange expression on his face.

"You can say that the sea of ​​consciousness is a thought space composed of mental power, but ordinary people cannot enter their own or others' sea of ​​consciousness. Now I bring your consciousness into your sea of ​​consciousness, forming a projection of your body, so it is correct to say that a wisp of your soul is here." The old man said with a smile.

Li Yan was incredulous. His body appeared in his head. What kind of logic is this? Seeing Li Yan's confused look, the old man smiled kindly at him and continued, "I have limited time now, so I can only briefly tell you. Then there is something more important to tell you. This sea of ​​consciousness is a person's mental power space, or you can call it the space of thoughts. The more powerful the creature, the stronger the mental power, and the wider the mental power space. However, this space is illusory and cannot be touched by ordinary people. For cultivators, they can observe their own or even others' sea of ​​consciousness. The wider the sea of ​​consciousness, the more powerful the spiritual attack of immortals can be. Of course, the sea of ​​consciousness has many uses, but you can only know it slowly in the future."

Li Yan felt like he was in a fog. What is this? Mental attack, what is this? Why did cultivators appear again? Immortals? Isn't that something that only exists in legends?

He was about to ask more questions, but the gray-shirted old man seemed to see his doubts and said directly, "I know you have a lot of questions, but I don't have much time. I can only tell you the important things. If you have the opportunity to join an immortal sect in the future, you will slowly know these many things." The old man said with a tired look on his face.

Li Yan heard this and looked at the old man's appearance. After thinking for a while, he stopped asking questions and stood there quietly, waiting for the old man's next words. The old man looked at his expression, nodded slightly, and told him. As the gray-shirted old man narrated, Li Yan saw a magnificent and turbulent picture that he had never seen or heard of in his life, which made him dumbfounded and astonished.

Are there immortals in the world? The answer is yes. Immortals have existed since ancient times. After Pangu created the world and Nuwa repaired the sky, the world was divided into several levels, the mortal world, the immortal world, and the true immortal world.

These realms exist from bottom to top, and there are many small realms in each realm, such as the netherworld, the demon realm, and even the spirit plant realm where plants live. They can move, think, and control their own space like humans.

The mortal realm is the lowest realm. At first, it was inhabited by ordinary people and low-level monsters. They have ordinary abilities but strong reproduction ability.

The fairy realm is located between the mortal realm and the true fairy realm. Many creatures in this realm are descendants of humans, monsters, or other races in the ancient prehistoric period. This realm is full of spiritual energy. Both humans and other creatures have long lifespans. Their ancestors passed down many ancient fairy methods. By practicing these fairy methods, they can have the ability to fly into the sky and into the earth, and turn the rivers and seas upside down. However, the world has its own laws. If you have a long life, you will have other restrictions. These descendants of the prehistoric period have difficulty reproducing. Whether it is humans, monsters, or other races, it is extremely difficult to give birth, and the number of races is relatively scarce.

The highest level is the True Immortal Realm, which is the real immortal realm in the legend. Ancient Pangu and Nuwa are all supreme immortals who live in this realm. They live as long as the heaven and earth, shine as brightly as the sun and the moon, and are immortal. Every true immortal has great magical powers that can reach the heavens and the earth. With a wave of their hands and feet, they can change the heaven and earth, pick the stars and the moon, and even build their own small interface to shape a new race of life.

The number of true immortals in the True Immortal Realm is not fixed. They also have the risk of falling, such as fighting between true immortals and exploring broader unknown laws;

At the same time, many people who practice ancient immortal methods in the Immortal Spirit Realm can break the interface between the two realms and ascend to the True Immortal Realm when their own cultivation reaches the initial stage of true immortality, that is, above the Mahayana realm.

To reach the initial stage of true immortality, one must practice immortality and go through nine realms of hard work before ascending to the realm of true immortality. However, it is extremely difficult to cultivate through these nine realms. Most people can only reach three or four realms in their lifetime, and then they can no longer make any progress. In the end, they can only exhaust their lifespan and sit in reincarnation.

These nine realms are Qi Condensation, Foundation Building, Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, Spiritualization, Refining Void, Combination, Tribulation, and Mahayana.

Each realm is divided into different small realms. For example, Qi Condensation is divided into ten small realms, and the first to third levels are the early stage, the fourth to sixth middle stage, the seventh to ninth level are the late stage, and the tenth level is the perfect stage, and then you can sprint to the next realm of foundation building.

However, after the foundation building stage, each realm is divided into only three small realms: early stage, middle stage, and late stage; starting from the foundation building stage, it is considered to be on the road to immortality. The Qi Condensation stage is just the beginning of condensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into oneself, and the foundation of cultivation is accumulated through ten small realms. Only when one enters the foundation-building stage can one truly embark on the path of cultivating immortals. Therefore, in the Qi Condensation stage, in addition to making the body stronger and being able to use some simple little spells, the lifespan is only slightly longer than that of ordinary creatures of the same kind. But after reaching the foundation-building stage, the lifespan suddenly increases to over 200 years; the Golden Core stage can reach over 500 years, and the Nascent Soul stage reaches a terrifying 2,000 years. Later, as the realm increases, the lifespan continues to increase, until one breaks through to the Mahayana stage and reaches the True Immortal, and then one can live forever.
