Chapter 7: This Is A Joke
Li Ziye and Xiang Qi taught Wang Qi some common knowledge about immortality and soon arrived at the Great White Village.
Afterward, Li Ziye transmitted a message to the entire Great White Village, saying that the Immortal Alliance was arresting the rebels and that they were ordered to guard the village to prevent the demons from returning to attack.
Although Wang Qi jokingly said that it was bragging, the villagers of the Great White Village were relieved.
In order to appease the villagers, the two took Wang Qi around the residence of Daoist Bu Fang.
Since Daoist Bu Fang was wanted by the Immortal Alliance for a long time, he had already developed a habit of carrying everything with him.
Apart from a stack of manuscripts that no one could understand, they didn't find anything else.
Under Li Ziye's guidance, Wang Qi began to cultivate the present cultivation method.
The present cultivation method was very different from the ancient cultivation method. First of all, the present cultivation method divided the cultivation into four major realms, namely Nourishment Master, Mortal World, Great Grandmaster, and Free and Unfettered Travel.
The cultivation of the first major realm didn't cultivate magic power but only increased one's lifespan, so it was called Nourishment Master.
Nourishment Master was divided into three realms, namely Heart Nurturing, Learning, and Connecting Heaven.
The Heart Nurturing Master strengthened the soul and mental awareness, laying the foundation for detecting the Breath of Heaven and Earth. The Learning Master was to learn a lot about the Heavenly Dao's laws and prepare to integrate with the Breath of Heaven and Earth. The Connecting Heaven was to formally communicate with the Breath of Heaven and Earth.
Because these three realms could be carried out at the same time, some people called them "Connecting Heaven".
The three realms of Nourishment Master corresponded to the ancient cultivation method's Enlightening, Revolving Illumination, and Inedia.
The Mortal World was also divided into three realms, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Core Formation.
This realm was the least different from the ancient cultivation method.
Qi Refining used the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth to cultivate magic power, Foundation Establishment used magic power to cast the Dharma Foundation, and Core Formation condensed the inner core on the foundation.
The Great Grandmaster was also divided into three realms, Nascent Soul, Void Refinement, and Nirvana.
At this realm, the difference between the present cultivation method and the ancient cultivation method was very obvious.
After the Core Formation stage, a new embryonic form of the Dharma Body was called the Nascent Soul.
After the Nascent Soul was formed, the Nascent Soul stage.
After the Nascent Soul stage, a cultivator continuously overlapped Nascent Soul and Nascent Soul Separation. This was the Soul Separation stage.
At the Body Integration Stage, one would combine their Nascent Soul with their physical body to forge a supreme Dharma Body.
After forming the Aurous Core, he would use the Aurous Core as the center and his own Dharma foundation as the foundation to construct a small world that operated according to the laws of the Heavenly Dao. This was the Primordial Spirit.
When the small heaven and earth in the primordial spirit were similar to the large heaven and earth to a certain extent, one would no longer need to rely on the breathing of heaven and earth. Instead, they could directly refine their magic power from the void outside the heavens and multiply endlessly. This was the Void Refinement Realm.
In the end, the Small Heaven and Earth would lead the body to continue to sublimate, which was nirvana.
Below the Carefree Travel, there was only one realm, the Carefree Realm, which corresponded to the Mahayana Realm.
Li Ziye and Xiang Qi didn't know what was so special about this realm.
After Li Ziye finished speaking, he gave Wang Qi a small backpack. It was not much bigger than Wang Qi's handbag from his previous life.
However, Li Ziye said that there were at least a hundred basic teaching materials in there.
These teaching materials were not only related to learning and cultivation, but they were also tested in the Unified Entrance Trial.
Wang Qi suddenly felt like he was in his first year of university.
After giving the backpack to Wang Qi, Li Ziye pondered for a moment and added, "The best way to test a person's talent is to cultivate during the Learning and Heaven Connection stages.
Those with average talent can succeed in four years. If one breaks through in one year, then one can be considered a genius.
After four years, there is almost no hope of Foundation Establishment — of course, nothing is absolute.
I heard that there was a Primordial Soul Grandmaster surnamed Su in the Burning Heaven Residence. He broke through to Heaven Connection in five years, a classic example of late wisdom. "
Wang Qi nodded and concluded, "This inspirational story tells us that we can't give up because of a small setback …"
Li Ziye smiled, "It's good that you understand.
Because the Spiritual Body of the Ancient Technique and the Heaven Connection of the Present Technique contradict each other greatly, I don't know how much the Dao of the Ancient Technique will affect you.
Go familiarize yourself with these books first. I'll teach you in the afternoon.
Especially the two books, "Breaking Mystery Chapter" and "The Calculus of the Great Dao".
The former is a must-learn for the Heaven Connection of the Present Technique. Although the latter is a bit more difficult, it contains a lot of the essence of the Present Technique. "
Wang Qi nodded.
Just as he was about to leave.
Li Ziye stopped him, "That's right, I'll seal the magic power in your body.
After the Qi Disciple stage of the Ancient Technique, the flow of magic power in your body will disturb the flow of spiritual energy outside your body. It's not beneficial for you to sense the breathing of heaven and earth.
I think I'll have to completely seal your magic power.
This process is necessary for the Ancient Technique to Present Technique, so don't mind. "
At noon, Li Ziye sat cross-legged on an old tree in the Wang Clan's courtyard, allowing the slightly hot sunlight of late spring to shine on his body.
Li Ziye loved to bask in the sun. When he cultivated in the Ten Thousand Gates of Enlightenment, if he couldn't solve a problem or was annoyed by a large number of repeated calculations, he would come out and bask in the sun.
His senior and junior brothers even laughed at him because of this, saying that he would definitely marry a female disciple of the Guang Hua Hall in the future to create sunlight for him. Even during sex, the other party would have to shine to liven things up.
Li Ziye was an easy-going person. He only laughed at this kind of joke.
At this time, his mind wasn't thinking about profound calculations like the "Twenty-Three Heisian Calculations". Instead, he was thinking about how his lecturer had taught him the basics of knowledge.
As for Wang Qi, he rather admired him.
This child didn't have an extreme desire for power like ordinary people. Instead, he purely regarded cultivation as something interesting.
For the Present Technique, he was undoubtedly a good seedling.
"Senior Brother Li!"
At this time, Xiang Qi's call interrupted his thoughts.
Li Ziye looked down and saw Xiang Qi using her magic power to carry a large pile of food over.
Li Ziye shook his head. "Junior Sister Xiang, how much money do you have on you?"
Xiang Qi was stunned. "Huh?"
"You wouldn't go so far as to force other people to eat and drink, right?"
Xiang Qi finally reacted. "These were all forced on me by the villagers outside."
Li Ziye glanced at the food floating around Xiang Qi in confusion.
The vinegar-drizzled shredded potatoes were very thin. Although they weren't as good as those of restaurant chefs, they weren't home-cooked either. The vegetables like green beans and eggplants were all oiled. The stir-fried meat powder and steamed meat were all top-notch pork filets. Not to mention the chicken soup and duck soup.
"The standard of living in the mortal world has already risen to this level?"
Li Ziye was somewhat confused.
The population of the Great Bai Village, the farmland, the surrounding vegetation, and other numbers flashed through his mind.
With the Great Bai Village's financial resources, this meal would probably only be available during the New Year.
Xiang Qi smiled and said, "Outside, it's said that an immortal has appeared in the village, so we should celebrate and get some immortal aura. Hey, Senior Brother Li, should we also get some immortal aura?"
These villagers were somewhat cute.
Li Ziye smiled and didn't refuse.
He jumped down from the tree and picked up a piece of fried meat from the pile of food in front of Xiang Qi. "It's fried quite crispy. I haven't eaten this kind of cooking in a long time."
"Right, right?" Xiang Qi happily placed the food and wine on the stone table in the courtyard.
Li Ziye found two bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen.
The two of them sat opposite each other and enjoyed the food on the table.
"What's that guy Wang Qi doing?"
Xiang Qi suddenly asked.
Li Ziye answered casually, "He's locked himself in his room to study.
Speaking of which, I thought you hated him. "
Xiang Qi snorted. "Who told him to be an ancient cultivator?
Cultivating ancient techniques will only harm others and oneself.
However, although he has a glib tongue, he's still quite interesting. "
Li Ziye made an 'oh' sound and changed the topic. "Now that this matter is over, Junior Sister Xiang, your sect's trial can be considered complete, right?"
Xiang Qi nodded. "I've been an envoy for a year and also completed a rather classified mission. It can be considered complete."
"What do you plan to do next?"
"My merit points are enough to exchange for materials and refine the first few swords of the fourth cycle of the heavenly sequence sword disc.
I want to try to refine the fourth cycle in the Foundation Establishment realm. "
Li Ziye clapped his hands and praised, "Good ambition!
Ordinary cultivators of Burning Gold Valley would choose the easiest few swords to refine when refining the heavenly sequence sword disc. Your path can almost be compared to Heaven Order Sword Venerable Meng Jiefu! "
Xiang Qi shook her head. "How can I compare to Sword Venerable Meng's achievements?
I don't even dare to imagine the 118 heavenly sequence sword discs being refined.
Moreover, there are rumors in Burning Gold Valley that Sword Venerable Meng has already started to refine the 'eighth cycle' that theoretically doesn't exist! "
Li Ziye sighed. "Senior's abilities are indeed far beyond what I can imagine!
However, this also shows that Junior Apprentice Sister Xiang's future is limitless. "
Saying so, Li Ziye poured a cup of rice wine brewed by the villagers. "A cup of turbid wine
will help Junior Apprentice Sister's cultivation progress a thousand miles in a day."
"It still can't compare to you, Senior Apprentice Brother Li."
Xiang Qi said seriously, "Senior Apprentice Brother Li is a genius disciple of Ten Thousand Arts School. Before entering the Aurous Core realm, you obtained one of the 'Xi Family's Twenty-Three Calculations' and entered the Aurous Core realm …" At this point, Xiang Qi paused and glanced at the sword case on Li Ziye's back with slight admiration. She continued, "… entered the Aurous Core realm and passed the 'Heavenly Sword Questioning the Heart'.
Back then, Senior Apprentice Brother Li broke through the Heaven Connection realm in half a year. Who in the world didn't say that Senior Apprentice Brother Li's future was limitless? "
Suddenly, an obscure qi fluctuation appeared in the courtyard.
Li Ziye's face revealed joy. "This is … breaking through the Heaven Connection realm …"
Xiang Qi's tone was uncertain. "Heaven Connection?"
Li Ziye nodded. "Connection …"
Suddenly, his smile froze.
There were only three cultivators here and there was only one person who had not broken through the Heaven Connection realm.
Crack!
The stone stool under Xiang Qi let out a crisp cracking sound.
Crack!
Li Ziye unknowingly broke the chopsticks in his hand.
Crack, crack, crack.
Cracks continuously appeared on the stones and floor around them.
This was the result of the cultivator's mind being shaken and unable to control his own qi, causing it to leak out.
"In history … who is the fastest person to break through the realm …"
Xiang Qi suddenly felt that she did not know how to speak.
"Master Elemental Force, breaking through the Heaven Connection realm in half a month."
Li Ziye said in a dreamy tone, "Supreme Celestial Lord, Daoist Forbiddance is about the same … Heavenly Lord of Fluctuation …"
The names of the peerless geniuses who had left their footprints in the history of the Present Technique flashed across Li Ziye's mind. However, no matter who it was, they were still not qualified to be compared to Wang Qi.
The difficulty of breaking through the Heaven Connection realm was to merge with the breathing of Heaven and Earth.
This required a general understanding of the fundamental laws of the operation of Heaven and Earth — in other words, the Heavenly Dao. One had to form the basic concept of 'Dao' in one's heart.
This required one to learn the 'Dao' summarized by many wise men.
This process was a long-term accumulation. Breaking through the Heaven Connection realm in a year was already the standard for the inner disciples of large sects.
Among the great cultivators who had broken through the Dao Seeking Carefree Realm today, the most talented one needed more than a month!
Wang Qi's first contact with the Present Technique was this morning. From the time he received Li Ziye's book until now, at most, he had eaten a meal.
Breaking through the Heaven Connection realm in a meal?
This could no longer be considered a legend.
This, this … this was a f * cking joke!
What do you think?
