Legend has it that starting from the waters of Donghai Prefecture in the east of Phantom Continent to the waters of Xihai Prefecture in the west, it would take nearly a year for even a master of the Lingyuan Realm who can fly to reach it.
It takes almost a year to go from the northernmost part of Beihai Prefecture to the southernmost part of Nanhai Prefecture. As for the mountains, lakes and snowy areas, no one has ever seen the entire territory.
In the center of Donghai Prefecture, Xuanming Mountains.
The towering Xuanming Peak stretches straight into the sky, cascading hundreds of miles across, standing majestically on the vast land of Donghai Prefecture.
The vitality on the top of the mountain is surging, and a series of palace buildings are looming, one after another, running through the entire Xuanming Peak.
From time to time, shouts from people practicing martial arts can be heard on the peak.
Xuanming Peak is the main peak of the Xuanming Sect, a major martial arts sect in Donghai Prefecture, and the entire Xuanming Mountain Range is the Xuanming Sect’s sphere of influence.
At this time, a white monster flew in the sky.
"Yeah... Yeah..."
Suddenly, the cry of an eagle was heard loudly in the sky. The disciples looked up and saw a ten-meter-wide black eagle flying high in the air, passing through the mountain, soaring into the sky, and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
.
Vaguely, you can see a proud figure standing on the black eagle, dressed in white and snow-white, standing firmly on the eagle's back out of thin air.
"Look, it's Senior Brother Wu. He's back riding his black eagle. He must have completed the sect's mission!"
There is a martial arts training ground with a radius of dozens of miles halfway up the mountain, where the disciples of the sect usually practice.
At this time, many people gathered in twos and threes. When the black eagle passed by, they all stopped and looked up at the heroic figure of one person and one eagle. As always, after people left the Eagle's Nest, expressions of admiration, jealousy, and longing appeared on these people.
face.
"Senior Brother Wu Lingfeng is really a god. It's very difficult for me to deal with low-level monsters, but he can tame monsters like Black Eagle as a mount. It's really enviable. Moreover, he started training a little later than me. Now he is a cultivator.
Wei is already a high-level spirit gatherer, and he is about to enter the spiritual elixir avenue, which is really amazing!"
"You can just admire me here. Senior Brother Wu is a genius who is rare in thousands of years. He is born with three attributes of the five elements. Cultivating will get twice the result with half the effort. Of course, his cultivation will also make rapid progress. It's useless for you to admire him. He is born with it.
!" One person began to refute the disciple who just spoke.
"Haha, that's right, people are born with talent, you can't admire them!"
"What's the use of admiration? It's better to practice hard and improve our cultivation. We can also advance from the outer sect to the inner sect as soon as possible and become a formal martial arts disciple. Only in this way can we learn the way to immortality as soon as possible."
"Do you think it's that easy? I've been waiting for someone who has been practicing for decades, but they still can't break through the Condensing Yuan stage, and they still want to enter the higher level of Ju Yuan stage?"
"Yes, the way of martial arts is too illusory. The Condensation Stage of Acquired to Innate Transformation alone has as many as ten levels. We have been practicing hard every day, but it only took a few years to reach the next level. How can we
Compared with Senior Brother Wu, he is only in his twenties and has already completed a journey of one or two hundred years that his predecessors have traveled."
"Speaking of hard training, isn't there a more powerful person around us? After more than ten years of training, he is still at the first level of condensation. Haha, this is the real hard work!"
"Haha, what senior brother said is true. People like these who waste our master's materials might as well go down the mountain early and live a normal life. Why waste our resources? You must know that our martial arts resources are also quite hard to find!
"
"Don't be sarcastic. Who said he was born with no energy? He has no Qi of the Five Elements. It's not surprising that he can't cultivate it. Haha, the only strange thing is how someone can be born without any Qi of the Five Elements. He
Where did it come from? The worst we can do is to occupy one of the five elements!"
"Haha... After talking for so long, why haven't you seen that good-for-nothing? Where is he hiding to practice?"
"That grandson of Li Lifeng is useless no matter how hard he practices. It's better to go down the mountain as soon as possible, get a wife and have children, so that he can reproduce and not lose his fame."
"You're making fun of me again, haha..."
"Ha ha……"
Li Lifeng was not far from these people, sitting on a smooth stone outside the lawn.
The stone is polished and rounded, with a radius of two meters. The bottom is dark and the top is bright. Although it is not a special place for Li Lifeng to meditate, only he would stay away from other disciples and come here to practice hard day and night.
This stone was also called the "sharpening stone" by him.
Everyone's sarcasm was heard one by one, but Li Lifeng was used to it. Who said he was the person they said was born with a weak pulse?
Five elements of nature: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
As the spiritual leader of all things, human beings condense the attributes of the five elements to gather the vitality of heaven and earth. If the skill is perfect, from gathering Qi to condensing Yuan, they can turn acquired nature into innate nature, and then embark on the path of practicing martial arts against the heavens, pursuing the ethereal dream.
The way to become a god.
There are waxing and waning among the five elements, especially when reflected in a person, they are more prominent and dominate the person's physical endowment.
The five elements are mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other. If you can have the five elements mutually reinforcing each other in your body, you are a talented person in martial arts.
Most ordinary martial arts people only have one or two attributes; if you are gifted with extraordinary talent and are lucky enough to get three attributes, you will be a unique martial arts genius.
According to the martial arts world, a person who condenses the three spirits can basically embark on the path of martial arts as long as nothing unexpected happens. After thousands of years, he will ascend to the divine world and become the immortal body of a god that everyone desires.
The senior brother Wu Lingfeng they were discussing just now is said to be the person who condenses the three spirits. It is no wonder that so many people admire and yearn for him.
And Li Lifeng is the most unlucky person without the Five Elements in everyone's mouth. As for the reason, let alone him, even the elders in Xuanming Sect can't explain the reason.
For ordinary people, the five elements of vitality in the body are high and low, but there are always one or two that are the most prominent, and those are the channels of vitality to which that person belongs.
For example, if someone has condensed the two attributes of water and wood, then practicing water and wood techniques will be naturally advantageous. As long as you practice day and night, it will not be difficult to succeed.
No matter whether it is metal, wood, water, fire, earth, or the five elements of vitality, none of them are reflected in Li Lifeng. It seems that these vitalities have melted into each other, and none of them stand out, thus creating his body with useless veins!
"Fifteen years, how many fifteen years are there in life!"
Li Lifeng looked up to the sky and sighed, as Xuanming Sect is the top martial arts sect in Donghai State, it is only natural that its techniques are advanced.
Generally, those who are recruited into the sect, no matter how talented they are, can rise to the fifth or sixth level of the Condensing Yuan Stage in fifteen years of day and night.
He, Li Lifeng, lives up to his reputation as a good-for-nothing. He joined the sect at the age of five. It has been a full fifteen years, and he is still just a beginner at the Ning Yuan stage - the first level of the Ning Yuan stage!
In the way of cultivating the gods, the Condensing Yuan stage is just the basic entry level, followed by the Ju Yuan stage, the Spiritual Pill stage, the Lingyuan realm, and the Xuanling stage.
Above the Juyuan stage, each stage has three levels, divided into elementary, intermediate and advanced levels. When you successfully reach the Xuanling stage and survive the divine tribulation, you can ascend to the divine world and achieve the divine way.
This period may last for decades, or it may last for hundreds of years, or he may die in the middle, his spirit and soul may be destroyed, and he may end up in the path of no life.
Among them, the Condensing Yuan stage is quite special, and is divided into ten levels. The first three levels are primary, focusing on physical training, transforming the body from acquired to innate; the middle and third levels are intermediate, which are roughly used to develop the body, expand meridians, and save vitality;
The last four levels are advanced, and the body slowly and fully transforms into innate energy, rejecting acquired energy.
Afterwards, when you enter the Juyuan period, and enrich your body with the essence of the sun and moon, and the vitality of heaven and earth, you will truly enter the threshold of martial arts.
Ordinary people in the Phantom Continent can live for about seventy or eighty years. After acquiring the martial arts skills and entering the first level of Ningyuan, they can live at least ** ten years. After that, each level will add ten years to their life span.
If you cannot break through from the tenth level of Yuan Condensation to the Juyuan stage before the age of 150, your life will end.
Therefore, age is particularly important for martial arts practitioners.
Everyone can advance to the first level in three to five years. A genius can complete the journey that others have taken hundreds of years to complete in more than ten years. Li Lifeng has not been able to break through the first level in fifteen years. I don’t know how much time was wasted. No wonder he himself is
I'm about to sigh.
"How about... as they say, go down the mountain and become a mortal?" As soon as this thought came up, Li Lifeng felt a sense of resistance from the bottom of his heart!
With a forced smile, Li Lifeng nodded his head and muttered: "You're a good-for-nothing, you can't become a god, and you don't want to be a mortal, what else do you want from me?"
Why does it sound like he is scolding another person?
Yes, it is indeed another person.
To be precise, another soul!
Li Lifeng couldn't figure it out. Half a month ago, he was a promising young man in the 21st century on earth. He had only graduated from college for two years, and it was the time when he was working hard to break through. He didn't want to cross the road, encounter a 70-yard encounter, and die... Wake up
After arriving, he became the body of a young man with the same name in the Phantom Continent.
This Li Lifeng is not that Li Lifeng.
Or, the two slowly merged. In short, Li Lifeng felt that "him" in this world was slowly disappearing, and that he was now in charge.
Half a month passed, and Li Lifeng did not dare to say anything. He observed the world around him in a low-key manner, and then integrated the memory of this body to finally distinguish various environments clearly.
In the past half month, he followed the habit of "Li Lifeng" before and practiced diligently every day. Of course, he often had to listen to the ridicule and ridicule from other disciples.
Li Lifeng was angry, but a numbness arose in his bones. This shows how Li Lifeng got through the past ten years!
Humiliation!
If he hadn't been unable to defeat him, Li Lifeng would have gone on a rampage to avenge the former owner of this body.
"Alas!" Li Lifeng sighed, lifted the robe at his feet, stopped practicing, and looked up at the sky.
He also saw clearly the scene where Senior Brother Wu flew by on an eagle just now. Admiration, jealousy, desire, and all kinds of emotions surged into his heart.
The way of gods and men is to look up at the sun and the moon and watch them rise and fall, and it will remain unchanged forever; sometimes to sit and watch the vicissitudes of the sea and the fields, as time passes by and the clouds roll and relax; sometimes to jump up wherever the inspiration comes, to ride on the wind, and travel thousands of miles in an instant
.
How free! How happy! How unrestrained!
It would be a lie to say that Li Lifeng does not have such a dream. Now that he has come to such a world of martial arts, it stands to reason that he should strive for this endlessly, pursue the boundless way of heaven, grow old with the earth, and live as long as the sky.
