Chapter 84 Five Elements Cultivation Sword Canon
As the day of the Cultivation Ceremony draws near, the Outer Mountain of the Cultivation Gate is becoming more and more lively. This guest area located in Caiyu Valley has been sent by banana leaf boats to many young and talented people from the families of scattered cultivators. It can be seen that these people either have extraordinary spiritual roots or have reached the tenth level of basic skills, and they all look confident. It is said that in Jiguan Town and Jizui Gorge outside the Outer Mountain, thousands of scattered cultivators who want to participate in the Cultivation Ceremony have gathered during this period. Many people have no place to live, and they dare not dig temporary caves in the nearby mountains. They can only eat wind and drink dew in the mountains all day long, which is very miserable.
Since Wu Yan moved in here, he went to Lao Huang every day to inquire about the Cultivation Gate and the Cultivation Ceremony. Lao Huang was not a tight-lipped person, and with Wu Yan and Zhang Feng, he persuaded them softly and hard, and told them everything he knew.
After learning some things about the Xiuzhen Sect from Old Huang, Wu Yan was secretly surprised and also strengthened his determination to join the Xiuzhen Sect.
The strength of this Xiuzhen Sect is indeed extremely strong. According to Old Huang, there are actually two Yuanying ancestors in the Xiuzhen Sect. Although one of these two Yuanying ancestors has been in the most core and mysterious Baoxiao Peak in the sect for a hundred years, and the other has traveled around the world and has not returned for more than a hundred years, this still shocked and excited the two.
It is said that in the Xiuxian world, the cultivators in the Yuanying period are already the top cultivators in the entire Xiuxian world. Their lifespan is as long as more than a thousand years, and their Taoist magic is vast and comparable to the old immortals on land!
Standing on the Luoyu Mountain next to the Caiyu Valley, looking towards the center of the Jinji Ridge, you can vaguely see a mountain surrounded by colorful spiritual energy and thousands of feet high. That is the real mountain gate of the Xiuzhen Sect, the Baoxiao Peak with the richest and most mysterious spiritual energy.
Around the Baoxiao Peak, there are five slightly lower peaks with different colors of clouds and precious light, namely Jinling Peak, Muling Peak, Shuiling Peak, Huoling Peak, and Tuling Peak. It is said that these five spiritual peaks are the caves where the five great elders of the Xiuzhen Sect in the Jindan period live in seclusion. At the same time, these five five-element spiritual peaks are exactly where the third-level core mountain protection formation of the entire mountain gate is located.
The great elder Dinghuo who was seen emitting the fiery red escape light in the air outside the mountain is the master of the Huoling Peak. The Xiuzhen Sect uses the five-element exercises as the basic exercises. The disciples of the Xiuzhen Sect are all under the control of the five spiritual peaks. According to their own spiritual root attributes, they practice the Jinling Jue, Muling Jue, Shuiling Jue, Huoling Jue, Tuling Jue, etc., and the spells they practice are also the same.
In the Xiuzhen Sect, there are three other great elders with different spiritual roots who are said to be proficient in Taoism and are in seclusion in Baoxiao Peak with the two Yuanying ancestors. All the disciples with different spiritual roots accepted by the sect are mostly trained under these three elders. The elder Wuzhen who wanted to accept Zhang Feng as his disciple was one of them.
In addition to these eight elders, there is another elder who is the most legendary in the sect. It is said that this person is the descendant of the God of Dawn, and he also practices the "Five Elements Cultivation Sword Canon" created by the Golden Rooster God. It is rumored that since the creation of this five-element cultivation treasure book by the Golden Rooster God, only a few people in the sect have successfully formed a pill and condensed an infant in the past thousands of years, and that was more than a thousand years ago. In the past thousand years, only the descendant of the Golden Rooster God named Jin Renfeng has successfully formed a pill by practicing this technique. Apart from him, no one else has succeeded in practicing.
It has to be said that in the world of immortal cultivation, the fastest cultivators are naturally those immortal cultivators with single spiritual root qualifications. For example, immortal cultivators with golden spiritual roots choose to practice the corresponding exercises such as the Golden Spirit Technique. As long as they practice a little, they can easily build a foundation and form a pill without any bottleneck. Such people are simply the darlings of heaven, and they can often stand in the forefront of immortal cultivators very quickly.
And the more diverse the spiritual root qualifications are, the more complete the attributes of the exercises they practice, and the slower the speed of cultivation. For example, this "Five Elements Cultivation Sword Canon" is a model of the cultivation of five elements and spiritual energy since ancient times. Take the elementary Qi refining exercise "Qi Xing Xiu Zhen Jue" derived from the "Five Elements Cultivation Sword Canon". There are also many immortal cultivators practicing in the entire cultivation sect and even the entire Shen Kingdom immortal cultivation world. But for more than a thousand years, it is said that not even one has successfully built a foundation!
When Wu Yanke learned of this news, he was so stimulated that his brows were furrowed for several days and could not relax. It has to be said that Wu Yan's luck is really bad. He actually practiced this perverted method called "Nixian Gongfa" by the cultivators in the Shen Kingdom. Nixian, Nixian, means going against the path of immortality. That means that if you practice this method, you will never be able to become an immortal in your life.
However, Wu Yan thought about it later. Isn't there a great elder cultivator in this cultivation sect who has successfully built the foundation and formed the elixir by practicing this method? Isn't the legendary God of Dawn a god who practiced this method to become an immortal? This shows that as long as you are willing to work hard to practice this method, you may succeed?
Besides, at worst, after successfully building the foundation in the future, you can switch to other single five-element methods. Anyway, the basic method is to practice all five elements, so no matter which five-element method you choose in the future, it will not be affected.
However, Wu Yan still felt that things might not be as simple as he thought. However, it was a bit too much of a worry for him to think about these things when he hadn't even entered the door of cultivation yet, so he simply let go of the thought and turned his attention to the cultivation ceremony.
From Lao Huang, he finally understood what the Cultivation Ceremony was all about and what was tested.
It turned out that the reason why the Cultivation Ceremony was held every five years was because the special examination room needed to be set up for the last two levels of "eliminating falsehood" and "asking for truth" in the Cultivation Ceremony test - the "True and False Illusion" of Jinjiling, which could only be opened once every five years. This illusion was one of the three special illusions famous in the Great Zhou Cultivation World, and it had some incredible magical powers.
To become a true disciple of the Cultivation Sect, one must go to this "True and False Illusion".
Those disciples who entered the Cultivation Sect in advance through family relationships, without going through the two tests of "eliminating falsehood" and "asking for truth", could only be regarded as registered disciples in the Cultivation Sect. Only when they waited until the opening day, entered this illusion together, and passed the test of "True and False Illusion", could they be regarded as true disciples of the Cultivation Sect.
The tests of the first two levels of the Cultivation Ceremony were much simpler. The first level is the assessment of basic skills and qualifications. All cultivators with two attributes of true spiritual roots and heavenly spiritual roots, regardless of their realm, will directly pass the first two levels of assessment and be sent to the "True and False Illusion" to accept the last two levels of assessment. Of course, as long as the basic skills of three attributes of true spiritual roots and four kinds of mixed spiritual roots with poor spiritual root qualifications reach more than ten levels, they can continue to enter the second level of "Heart Road to Heaven" assessment. As long as they can pass the first two levels of assessment, regardless of their qualifications, they will be sent to the "True and False Illusion" to undergo the assessment of "removing falsehood" and "asking for truth".
If you cannot pass the test of "True and False Illusion", if you still want to stay in the cultivation sect, you can only become an outer disciple. Even if you can successfully build your foundation and form a pill in the future, it will be difficult for you to become a true disciple of the cultivation sect, and you can only become a deacon and a steward who manages the affairs of the sect.
And the cultivators who have passed the test of "True and False Illusion" will definitely become the focus of cultivation in the cultivation sect, and they will be given special care and attention in all aspects.
In fact, the Xiuzhen Sect was originally called the Baoxiao Sect. This sect has been secluded in Jinji Mountain since the God of Baoxiao, and has rarely contacted the outside world. More than a thousand years ago, after the Xianjian Sect of Mount Emei in the territory of Bashu was conquered by the Tianmo Sect, a large number of Xianjian disciples fled northward. One of the Xianjian disciples who practiced the Five Elements Kung Fu accidentally fled to Jinji Mountain. Fortunately, they were rescued by the head of the Baoxiao Sect at that time, and they survived.
Afterwards, this Xianjian disciple joined the Baoxiao Sect. Later, because all the disciples of the Baoxiao Sect practiced the "Five Elements Xiuzhen Sword Classic", for some unknown reason, few people were able to successfully build a foundation and form a pill, let alone form an infant. This group of disciples gradually died, and the Xianjian Sect disciples who joined the Baoxiao Sect, after more than a hundred years of operation, gradually took control of the power of this sect, and later changed its name to Xiuzhen Sect, and even passed on the Five Elements Kung Fu Classics brought from the Xianjian Sect, which is how the powerful Xiuzhen Sect is now.
It is said that most of the disciples of the Baoxiao Sect have become mortals, that is, those who live in Jiguan Town. Only a few people can still practice, and these people are now practicing under the seat of the great elder Jin Renfeng. It's a pity that, except for Jin Renfeng, none of these people have successfully built a foundation.
During this period of time, Wu Yan has a thorough understanding of the general situation in the cultivation sect, in fact, it is also for future planning. No matter what method he uses, he must join this cultivation sect. Otherwise, if he goes out to be a casual cultivator, he may not have the opportunity to successfully build a foundation in his life.
Don't think that he has the mysterious little furnace as a backing, which can cultivate a large number of herbs and refine a large number of pills for him to take and practice. But the "Five Elements Cultivation Sword Canon" technique that can successfully build a foundation is only known by the great elder Jin Renfeng of the cultivation sect. If he could not become his disciple, but instead practiced other single five-element techniques again, even if he succeeded in practicing with a large amount of elixirs, he would miss the best age for foundation building, and would not have the opportunity to go further on the road of cultivation in the future.
No matter from which point of view, he must join the Xiuzhen Sect and become a true disciple of the Xiuzhen Sect. To be more precise, after becoming a disciple of the Xiuzhen Sect, he must try to become the disciple of the great elder Jin Renfeng.
During this period, Zhang Feng was even more depressed than Wu Yan. He actually saw many cultivators who had a good personal relationship with their Zhang family. He ran out secretly this time. If these people saw him and told his grandfather about his current situation in the Xiuzhen Sect, his idea of joining the Xiuzhen Sect would be ruined. Therefore, during this period, he not only begged Wu Yan to do a simple disguise for him, but also hid in the house all day and rarely went out to avoid meeting acquaintances. Fortunately, Wu Yan and Old Huang would chat with him from time to time to relieve his boredom, otherwise this lively and cheerful little scholar would have been bored to death.
