Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 290 Calendar Years and the Origin of the Four Great Aristocratic Sects

Not to mention the art of controlling spirits explained in detail in the Dao of Animals, there is a method of refining bones and tempering the body in the Dao of Shura, called Shura's Body, this method specializes in the cultivation of the flesh body.

Shura means non-heaven, so Shura Tao is also called non-heaven realm. Although it has the ability of heaven and man, it does not have the virtue of heaven and man.

Therefore, it is a monster that is not a god, a ghost, or a human, and it is between gods, ghosts, and humans. Shura represents the most powerful force in the world.

Cultivated to great success, you can move mountains and shake mountains and seas with your bare hands. It is the supreme secret method for tempering the body.

Leaving aside this method of tempering the body, there is a supernatural power recorded in the Human Dao, called the Great Method of Reversing the Five Elements and the Universe, which is essentially a space-based magic method, and has the effect of pulling a thousand catties.

Among the six realms, the most mysterious one is the Heavenly Realm. There is no magical power in it, and what is recorded are all anecdotes and secret records of powerful monks from ancient times to the present who pursued immortality and Taoism.And finally concluded that if you want to ascend to the fairy world and live forever, you need to kill the monk's own emotions and desires to achieve the state of ruthless and desireless.

Seeing this, Tangning just smiled, not to mention the truth of these powerful monks' deeds of seeking immortality and attaining the Tao, but only talking about the condition of immortality, which cuts away all emotions and desires.

How can this be?

As long as a person has lust.

Isn’t the pursuit of eternal life a kind of lust?If there is no love and no desire, how can we cling to eternal life?This in itself is contradictory.

Not to mention human beings, all living beings in the world have lust, and if there is no lust, wouldn't it be a walking dead?What's the point of a walking dead getting immortality?
In addition, the characters recorded on it are quite absurd, and the time interval is as far as millions of years.

The oldest one is named Mad Qinghan, there is actually someone with the surname Mad in this world, aside from the strange surname.

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

Using the method of eras in the practice world, Tang Ning's current era is the Thirteen Dao Ji, each Dao Ji is one million years, and these million years are divided into A, B, C, D, E, Ji, Geng, Xin, Ren, Gui ten branches.

Each branch is [-] years old, so the current accurate date is [-] years of Dingzhi of the Thirteenth Daoist Period. Even for monks, [-] years is too long. No one in this world can live that long. Even the top monks in the world can only live for [-] years, let alone an era.

Therefore, all the recording methods in the world are to directly say "how many years is Dao Ding", saving the two long rivers of time Ji and Zhi.

Otherwise, when you go to the market to buy or sell things, or enter and leave the sect, you have to mark the number of years of the Thirteenth Dao Ji Dingzhi. Isn't this out of your mind?
At the beginning of the era, all the time before the first day of January in the first Dao Ji Jiazhi year is called the ancient period.

What is the ancient times?That is to say, before the human race has a place to stand, fierce beasts and monster races are rampant at that time, feeding on the human race.

The human race had no choice but to hide among the deep mountains and ravines in order to save their lives.

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

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

Since then, the human race, the monster race and the fierce beasts have fought for the soil of survival for millions of years, and finally the human race has won a complete victory.

Because of the low reproductive ability of those ancient beasts and most of them were solitary, after the human race occupied most of Tianyuan's territory, they were gradually hunted down by the human race, and now there are few traces, almost extinct.

The monster race lived in groups of races. Although they were suppressed by the human race, they survived tenaciously and settled down in one corner to multiply.

The human race gradually gained an overwhelming advantage in the long-term struggle with the beasts and monsters. The beasts were almost extinct, and the monsters retreated to Yongzhou, and some of them hid in Tiannan Marsh and Mubei Grassland.

At that time, the human race was powerful, far surpassing the monster race, but they did not take advantage of the victory to drive them all to extinction, not because of kindness, but because of internal divisions.

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

A general outline of practice that is in line with the way of heaven, follows nature, and emphasizes gradual progress, which is called Xuanfa.Later generations call it Taoism, and although its exercises are ever-changing, they remain inseparable from the general principle, which is based on breathing, in harmony with the sky and people.

The other is the general outline of self-cultivation, which uses flesh and blood as the body, spirit and soul as the guide, desperate to seize life, against the law of heaven, and is called the holy law.It was later called the Demon Sect by the world. Its practice does not focus on breathing, but on its own soul, flesh and blood, and is constantly tempered.

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

Like the Blood Bone Gate, most of its skills are transformed from its own flesh and blood.

For example, the corpse puppet sect also used the body of the monks to refine corpse puppets.

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

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

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

In eight million years, the sea has been in turmoil several times. How could this book be intact, so it can only be recorded by people today.

How can people today know the stories of characters eight million years ago?Even the four major sects of Xuanmen may not have such ancient materials.

The four major sects were established in the Seventh Dao Period, and the specific date is January [-], [-]th year of the Bing Branch of the Seventh Dao Period. On this day, Shangqingzong, Daodezong, Yuxuzong, and Taixuanzong founded the sect at the same time.

Of course, it is not a coincidence that the four major Taoist sects established at the same time, but it was negotiated.

The reason is that in the fifty-ninth year of the Bingzhi of the Seventh Dao Period, in a life-and-death battle between the Xuanmen and the Demon factions, the Xuanmen won a big victory and defeated the Demon Sect.

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

After the Battle of Devil-killing Valley, Xuanmen established a winning position in the struggle against the Demon Sect, so on January [-]st, [-]th year of Bingzhi, the four major sects were established.

Its predecessor was the strongest four sects among the Taoist monks. The original purpose of the establishment of the four major sects was to recruit the world's heroes and clear up the remnants of the Demon Sect.

After the defeat of the Mozong, all the elites were lost, so they hid themselves in various states and counties.

The great cultivators of Xuanmen have established sects in various states and counties one after another. The four major sects are originally the four strongest forces in Xuanfa, and other established sects naturally obey their orders.

There are many ancestors who founded sects and established sects. They were even disciples from the four major sects. They were ordered by the sect to establish Taoist sects in various places to wipe out the remnants of the demon sect. Naturally, the original sect followed suit.

As a result, the four major sects ruled the world as the leader of Xuanmen, and it has continued to this day.

And those aristocratic families who practiced were originally tribes that participated in the Jinshui Alliance. In the confrontation with monsters and beasts, some tribes gradually grew stronger. After the human race won, they returned to their original habitat and became the local tyrants. A big family on one side.

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

Either see the situation clearly in time, switch to the mysterious method, and abandon the practice of the Demon Sect. The strength of these families will be greatly damaged as a result, and those who are stubborn will be wiped out.

Among them, there are gradually only four powerful tribes left, which are the Jiang family, Ji family, Ying family, and Yao family, the four great families.

The Jiang family, originally belonging to the Shennong clan, lived on the banks of Jiangshui in Qingzhou, so they took Jiang as their surname. After the victory of the human race, they returned to the banks of Jiangshui and have dominated one side ever since.

The Ji family, originally belonging to the Shaodian clan, lived on the banks of the Jishui River in Yangzhou, so they took Ji as their surname.

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

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

These four families all believed in the mysterious method and were their supporters. During the battle with the Demon Sect, these four families contributed a lot.

In ancient times, the human race did not have a surname. They took the name of the tribe and lived by water and grass. Most of them lived in places with water.

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

It is recorded in the book that eight million years ago, the great monk named Mad Qinghan lived forever in order to be able to ascend to the fairy world.

He went so mad as to kill all his children, wives and children, including everyone related to him, in the euphemistic name of cutting off cause and effect, so as to achieve a state of ruthless and desireless.

As for whether he ascended to the Immortal Realm in the end, it is unknown.

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

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

It turned out to be here!He was overjoyed, and frowned after reading it. It is not easy to make the puppet shell and the sealing roll, and he has never even heard of several materials needed. Where can I get these materials?
An Bohuai comes from the 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, the difficulty of obtaining these materials is no different from finding a needle in a haystack.

Tangning sighed slightly, and put away the book. The spells recorded in the Hell Dao and Evil Ghost Dao can only be put aside for now. If there is a chance to come out of Xingang, let's talk about it!

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

It is certain that this Taoist robe is by no means a treasure, and there is no trace of spiritual power on it.

With his left hand, he took out the golden bowl, pointed towards it, and the golden bowl rose against the wind, shooting out white streaks of golden light and hitting the Taoist robe without any abnormal sound, just like mud entering the sea, and there was no trace of spiritual power and brilliance flowing on the surface of the Taoist robe , Those golden lights hit the Taoist robe as if they were absorbed by it, and there was no movement at all.

The taoist robe was not damaged at all, Tangning put away the golden bowl with a move.Picking up the taoist robe and inspecting it carefully, he couldn't help being amazed, it's really a good thing, even though there is no spiritual power running, even the top-grade spiritual weapon can't do anything about it.

What is it made of that can have such an effect.
