Comprehensive Immortal: Starting from Qingyun Gate

Chapter 30 The Cultivation Background of Middle-earth

Compared with walking, the speed of Yujian is naturally much faster.

In just a short moment, the four of them left the Qingyun Mountain range and headed east.

Looking back at Qingyun Mountain, which was getting further and further away, everyone felt a little depressed.

Except for Zeng Shushu, the other three people went down the mountain for the first time, and they were full of confusion and unknown about the outside world.

But even though he was Zeng Shushu, he only occasionally secretly went to Heyang City, which was three hundred miles away, when he was practicing sword-wielding. This time, he had to go to Kongsang Mountain, which was three thousand miles away from Qingyun Mountain.

If something really happened in such a far place, even if the elders of Qingyun Sect wanted to rescue, they would not be able to arrive in a short time.

This distance has long been beyond the control of Qingyun Sect.

However, people who can cultivate to such a state, and their character is naturally incomparable to others, quickly suppressed these negative emotions, cheered up again, and the expectations and yearning for the outside world once again arose in their hearts.

The three of Zhang Ruofeng had been on good terms for a long time, so they took the opportunity to get together, walking side by side with their swords, and talking loudly about everything in the outside world.

Lu Xueqi fell behind the three of them, wielding the sword alone, looking as if she was isolated by the three of them.

However, Lu Xueqi has a cold temperament, so she naturally doesn't care about this. Zhang Ruofeng and the other three also understand her temperament, and they don't deliberately get in touch with her to make her unhappy.

Casting a wind-avoiding spell, Zhang Ruofeng began to ask Zeng Shushu about the news outside.

Regarding the background of this world, although he had already learned some about it from some books in Tongtian Peak and from his senior brother Chang Jian, it was never so comprehensive.

Zeng Shushu was well-read and not a rule-abiding person at heart. He secretly went down the mountain many times and was an excellent person to get to know.

"Shu Shu, Master said before that the Demon Sect's cultivation method is different from our righteous way. Do you know how the Demon Sect's people practice?" Zhang Ruofeng asked loudly.

Zeng Shushu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Ruofeng nervously: "Ruofeng, how can I know how people from the Demon Sect practice? Are you interested in the secret cave inheritance of the Blood Refining Hall?"

Zhang Xiaofan also looked over nervously, fearing that Zhang Ruofeng would really have the idea of ​​​​turning to the magic arts, which would definitely not be tolerated by Qingyun Sect or even all righteous sects.

Zhang Ruofeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you thinking? I mean, how do the Demon Sect and the major sects of our righteous way, including our Qingyun Sect, measure strength and weakness? Is there a set of standards for cultivating immortals that everyone recognizes? Level? People from other sects can’t all be divided by the three realms of Yuqing, Shangqing and Taiqing of our Qingyun Sect, right?”

Hearing this, Zeng Shushu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that's what you wanted to ask..."

He paused for a moment, and a hint of excitement appeared on his face again, and said: "I really know this. It is said that in ancient times, the cultivation systems of various sects were fixed. Later, after several changes, what new and old methods were introduced? known as."

"But later on, due to the different cultivation methods of each school, there was a huge gap even among the same level. So everyone simply came up with their own practice system, which was divided directly according to the practice level of the sect."

"For example, our Qingyun Sect is divided according to the fundamental practice of 'Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao' practiced by all disciples of the sect. It is divided into three realms: Yuqing, Shangqing, and Taiqing. Each realm has nine levels. In total, There are twenty-seven realms in total.”

"Shu Shu, can we become immortals as long as we practice these twenty-seven realms?" Zhang Xiaofan asked curiously.

Zeng Shushu shook his head: "I don't know about this, because our Qingyun Sect has been established for more than two thousand years, and it is said that only the Qingye Patriarch has reached the realm of Taiqing. Now even our master uncle has only reached the peak of the Qingyun." That’s all.”

Zhang Xiaofan nodded ignorantly.

Zhang Ruofeng is focused on another thing: "Shu Shu, how do the previous ancient methods and new methods divide the cultivation levels?"

Zeng Shushu thought for a while and said with some uncertainty: "The oldest division before seems to have four realms, which are called 'refining the energy to transform, refining the energy to transform into the spirit, refining the spirit to return to the void, and refining the void to merge with the Tao', but now it's too early No one practices the ancient method anymore because there is no corresponding method and they don’t know how to practice it.”

"As for the new method, there are nine levels in total, from low to high: Qi refining, foundation building, elixir formation, Yuanying, transforming into gods, refining the void, combining Tao, Mahayana, and overcoming tribulations. It is said that after overcoming tribulations, one can ascend In the Immortal Realm, there are many sects now that use this new set of methods to practice, such as Shushan, Emei, Kunlun, etc., which are as famous as our Qingyun Sect..."

really!

Zhang Ruofeng was shocked, and some of his previous doubts were suddenly solved.

No wonder the master said before that as long as the first three levels of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao are practiced, the foundation building will be successful.

Also, after he reaches the seventh level of cultivation, he will condense the golden elixir in his body.

From this point of view, if the guess is correct, the first to third levels of Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao should be the Qi Refining Realm corresponding to the new method, the fourth to sixth levels are the Foundation Building Realm, and the seventh to ninth floors are the Dan Formation Realm.

Because different paths lead to the same goal, everyone practices with spiritual energy. Even if there are slight differences in each realm due to different practice methods, the core things should be the same. I just don’t know if the levels behind Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao also correspond to the realm of the new method, but I think so.

Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?

Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao has three levels and twenty-seven realms, and the new method happens to have only nine levels. Every three levels corresponds to a new level of cultivation?

Zhang Ruofeng was thoughtful.

At this time, Zhang Xiaofan suddenly asked curiously: "Shu Shu, which sect is the most powerful in the world of immortal cultivation now? Are there any seniors who have reached the realm of transcending tribulation?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ruofeng was also a little curious and turned to look at Zeng Shushu.

Zeng Shushu nodded and said, "Of course there is."

"Among the sects of our righteous path, the strongest and most mysterious is the Shushan sect. Shushan has been passed down for a long time. It has been passed down since ancient times. Many ancestors have cultivated and become immortals and ascended to the legendary fairy world. Now the Shushan sect The leader, Taoist Priest Qingwei, is a senior who has transcended the tribulation realm, and it is said that there is a way to communicate with the immortal world in Shushan."

"The Emei Sect is also very strong. I heard that the founder of the Emei Sect, Baimei Zhenren, is also a senior in the Tribulation Realm..."

As he spoke, Zeng Shushu couldn't help but have a look of reverence and yearning on his face.

Zhang Xiaofan probably had the same expression.

Even Lu Xueqi, who was lagging behind, had unknowingly pricked up her ears to listen and was obviously interested in it.

Only Zhang Ruofeng looked strange. The people Zeng Shushu mentioned were all familiar characters to him in his previous life.

Suddenly, Zhang Ruofeng's eyes moved and he said: "What realm are the 'Three Changliu Immortals' of the Changliu Immortal Sect? They can't really be immortals, right?"

Zeng Shushu shook his head and said: "Probably not. It is said that immortals cannot descend to earth at will. The reason why the three Changliu sects are respectfully called Supreme Immortals is because the cultivation system of Changliu sect is different from other sects. As long as they practice to a certain level, they can be called "Shangliu sects". Having reached immortality is just like mortals calling us Qingyun disciples immortals. In fact, we are just cultivators and have not yet become immortals. However, to ordinary people, our abilities are not much different from those of the legendary immortals. "

Zhang Ruofeng nodded, just understanding this truth.

Vision determines the world.

"Ah, we're here, that's Heyang City!"

At this time, Zeng Shushu suddenly pointed forward and shouted excitedly.

The three of them quickly looked around and saw the outline of a large city suddenly appearing on the land dozens of miles away in front of them. It was probably dozens of miles in circumference. The buildings in the city were stacked on top of each other. Although they were not as good as the palaces and temples on Qingyun Mountain, they were still different. Flavor.

"Ruofeng, this Heyang City is so big, bigger than our Caomiao Village!" Zhang Xiaofan sighed with emotion.

Zhang Ruofeng also nodded. Although they have been here for five years, every detail of Caomiao Village is like the best memory, which has always been imprinted on the softest place in their hearts.

Zeng Shushu said with a smile: "Of course, this is the most prosperous place in a land with a radius of hundreds of miles. The number of people living here is at least three to five million, and the location is good, and there are many businessmen who come to visit. There are more, and it’s even more lively.”

Zhang Ruofeng's eyes moved slightly and said: "Shu Shu, is there no imperial court in charge of the mortal world?"

Zeng Shu wrote: "Of course there is. The court in Middle-earth is called the Sui Kingdom, and there are also immortal cultivators in the Sui Kingdom. They are connected with our righteous sects and jointly maintain the order and safety of the Middle-earth world. Otherwise, If so, our righteous sects alone will not be able to control so many places."

Zhang Ruofeng was stunned.

It seems that the cultivation sects in this world and the secular court are probably equivalent to a cooperative relationship to jointly maintain the stability of Middle-earth.

I just don’t know if this Sui Kingdom is related to the Sui Dynasty in previous history?
While he was thinking, Zeng Shushu shouted: "We're here! To avoid causing trouble, let's drop off outside the city and walk into the city. We'll rest here tonight and rush to Kongsang Mountain tomorrow."

The three of them knew nothing about the outside world and had no opinions about it, and followed Zeng Shushu's sword down.
