In addition to explaining each realm, Xianlinglu also has corresponding cultivation methods.
The first level of foundation building is to lay the foundation, then the second level of consecration is to open up the spiritual wisdom and focus more on the creation of the state of mind.
In the folk religion of Dongzhou, there is also an explanation for "consecration". Buddhist and Taoist believers in the mountains open temples. After the statues are completed, a consecration ceremony will be held to imbue them with spirituality.
In fact, folk rituals only apply to some low-status landscape gods. The birth of each landscape god requires not only folk ceremonies but also the approval of the emperor of the dynasty in advance. There are also strict controls on such etiquette in the dynasty.
.
Without the consent of the emperor, some people with ulterior motives can secretly erect statues of gods and receive incense from all directions, and they can become gods. However, they are often suppressed by the rules of heaven and earth and will not achieve much. They can only survive.
The real God of Dajiang Dayue needs a secular king to hold a ceremony to worship the heaven, and to ask the heavenly king to issue a decree before he can be truly canonized. Then the king of a country personally holds a "consecration" ceremony for him, and then he can be molded into a golden body and receive incense.
.
Such mountain gods and water gods will not be restrained by human kings.
The "consecration" of the Qi Refiner has the same purpose and is nothing more than giving life to the lifeless acupoints and inner lakes.
At this level, those with good talent can directly understand the method of inner vision, and can clearly see the scene above the inner lake with their eyes closed, but they cannot get out of the body.
According to the Immortal Spirit Record, Shi Yu can step into the enlightenment realm at any time. Not only that, if he wants to, he can even break through the two realms in one fell swoop and directly enter the fusion realm.
The reason is very simple. In the fusion state, the heart lake of the orifice is integrated with the rules of heaven and earth, and the aura of heaven and earth can be absorbed at will without any restrictions, in order to prepare for the formation of golden elixirs in the heart lake in the future.
Now, Shi Yu's two acupoints contain the spiritual energy of heaven and earth refined by a sword cultivator in the Tribulation Realm and a sword immortal for thousands of years. As long as he reaches the Consecrated Light Realm, as long as he can influence the spiritual energy in the acupoints, he will be able to compete with heaven and earth.
Fit.
Shi Yu touched his chin and thought: No wonder Zhang Taixu said that he would break the mirror quickly. It seems that the old man was quite foresight.
He didn't know whether there would be any drawbacks to simply breaking the fusion realm easily, and whether it would leave a source of trouble in the future.
After much thought, he was still ready to break through the bottleneck and reach the realm of consecration.
As for whether he should take advantage of the situation to break through the realm and enter the fusion realm, we have to wait until he reaches the consecration realm.
Judging from the current situation of his acupoints and inner lake, if he deliberately stays in the foundation-building realm, he may have more problems.
Thinking of this, Shi Yu opened his eyes and left the inn with the secret book.
He found a remote alley, jumped up, stood on the eaves, sat cross-legged, and read the secret book about how to break a mirror, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.
According to what is written in the book, slowly move the surrounding aura, enter the body from the pores, and pass through the eight extraordinary meridians. Unknowingly, a slight white mist lingers on the fingertips.
After a while, I only felt a golden thread being pulled in an acupoint, mixing with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that was inhaled into the body, and wandering in the meridians.
Shi Yu suddenly opened his eyes, and his pupils were covered with golden light.
After a while, the golden light dissipated, and the white mist lingering on the fingertips also disappeared into the body.
Is this a breakthrough?
Shi Yu was stunned. There was no movement, and he just entered the Consecrated Light Realm quietly. Could it be that all the Qi Refiners in the world break through this realm in such a straightforward and simple way?
Shi Yu stood up, stumbled, and almost fell off the eaves.
After breaking through the realm, I just felt that my body was light and a little uncomfortable.
Since he was already a monk in the Consecrated Light Realm, he naturally wanted to give it a try. His eyes fell on a small tree. With a snap of his fingers, a golden light shot out, instantly cutting the tree in half.
Shi Yu nodded with satisfaction.
I glanced at the horizon and saw dusk approaching.
He walked towards the inn.
When they returned to the inn, Shi Yu hadn't come back yet, but there was another middle-aged man wearing a dark blue gown and a jade crown sitting on a chair in the room.
The man was already in his forties, with some vicissitudes of life in his eyes, but his face was young and handsome. He was carrying a very strange sword with no sheath or edge on his back.
Seeing Shi Yu come in, the middle-aged man stood up and asked, "But Shi Yu?"
Shi Yu nodded.
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I come from Xuanji City, my name is Helian Guanlin, and Helianxue is my daughter."
Shi Yu suddenly realized, raised his hands and saluted, "I've met my senior."
Brother Helian Guanlin returned the gift and said, "No need to be polite. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you for taking care of Xueer all the way."
Shi Yu scratched his head and said, "Actually, Miss Helian is taking care of me."
He Lianguanlin smiled and said nothing. He had already asked Helianxue when he came. He knew that Shi Yu helped Helianxue prepare medicine, protected her while refining sword energy in the cave, and even gave her a spirit-restoring weapon.
quit.
However, she deliberately concealed the matter about the Immortal Spirit Record, so in Helian Guanlin's heart, Shi Yu only had kindness towards her.
"My little friend is a monk?" Helian Guanlin looked at Shi Yu.
Shi Yu's heart skipped a beat, could this person be able to detect the Qi in his heart?
But he still shook his head without changing his expression and said, "Just a swordsman."
Helian Guanlin looked strange, but he didn't reveal it.
As soon as Shi Yu arrived, he felt the presence of spiritual energy in him, which was inconsistent with what He Lianxue had said before as an ordinary martial artist, so he made his initial uncertain question.
But he didn't intend to reveal it. Who doesn't have a secret?
However, there is still something strange about Shi Yu. He is obviously just a monk with a bottleneck in the light realm, but he seems to be able to reach the fusion realm and even the heartbeat realm at any time.
Helian Guanlin was confused, could he be a great monk who deliberately suppressed his situation?
But he didn't ask any more questions. As long as there was no threat to him and Helian Xue, he wouldn't care too much.
————
Not long after Helian Guanlin arrived, Li Xiao came back.
The two drank some wine and reminisced about old times, and then Helian Guanlin took Helianxue and left.
Zhou Wen, the swordsman of the Jade Sword Sect, was approached by a very beautiful woman not long ago. According to her, she was a junior sister from the same sect. The two left together and returned to the Nine Swords Sect.
After this experience, Zhou Wen put down a long-standing stone in her heart. Li Meng, the direct disciple of the elder in the sect, judged the sect, which was a big blow to the elder.
For her senior sister who is the most legitimate successor to the sect leader, this is great news.
Shi Yu and Li Xiao didn't stop much. They filled their jugs and wine bags with wine and continued heading north.
This time, there was a handsome man in Confucian shirt.
————
Yunmeng City.
Since Qi Zhen lost his sword, his reputation in the world has not been as good as before, and his reviews have been mixed. However, this has not affected his ranking on the martial arts list at all, and he is still ranked third.
Putting aside those false reputations, Qi Zhen felt at peace as never before. He also completely gave up on martial arts training, and lived a peaceful life for a period of time.
At Chenshi, I got up together with the morning glow, drank tea at the stone pavilion on the top of the mountain, and watched the rays of light dye all over the mountain.
After that, a book will be taken out, either a Confucian classic, a Jianghu novel, or a spiritual practice method.
Since what happened with Li Xiao, he has opened up a knot in his mind and no longer deliberately forces himself to embark on the path of spiritual practice for the sake of martial arts. When he has free time, he will deliberately study the practice method he accidentally acquired.
In fact, he is very talented. In this short period of one month, he has reached the threshold of the Foundation Establishment Realm and opened up a medium-sized natal acupoint.
It's just that no one else knows about this except himself.
Therefore, he is still included in this martial arts list.
Today, as usual, he got up early and went up the mountain facing the morning glow, with a teapot in one hand and a book in the other.
It’s still the same stone pavilion with stone tables and chairs.
The teapot was placed on the stone table, and then he sat down and prepared to read.
But he quickly stood up and looked at the rugged stone path he had just walked.
A man in a green shirt climbed up the steps.
As he got closer, he could see his face clearly.
She is a thin woman with very high cheekbones, and she is not really good-looking.
There was a sword hanging from her waist and a sword in her hand.
Qi Zhen recognized the sword in her hand at a glance, and also recognized her as a person.
"Miss Bai, long time no see." Qi Zhen smiled and said in greeting. He was very familiar with this woman. He had seen her many times and had fought against her. She was ranked behind Li Xiao on the martial arts list and before Qi Zhen.
That woman, Bai Lu.
Bai Lu threw the sword in her hand to Qi Zhen and said, "Your sword."
Qi Zhen took the hand, took a look, and then asked: "Did you kill that vulture?"
The sword is real. It was taken away by a sword-lender named Vulture. Now that the sword is in Bai Lu's hand, there is only one possibility.
Bai Lu shook her head and said, "It's on credit. I can't kill him."
Qi Zhen was a little stunned and asked: "Can't you kill him?"
Bai Lu asked in return: "Do you think that the strategists who lend money to people with swords will have fewer means to save their lives?"
Qi Zhen understood that the person who borrowed knives on credit could come and go at will with a heavy treasure, so he naturally had extraordinary means of saving his life.
No longer entangled in this issue, Qi Zhen asked directly: "What do you need me to do?"
He didn't think Bai Lu would be so kind as to give him the sword.
Bai Lu narrowed her eyes and said, "I want to establish a sect, and you will be the first to worship me."
"Establish a sect?"
Qi Zhen was really surprised this time. Bai Lu had always been alone in the world of martial arts, and had never had the slightest interest in the sects of the martial arts. She had only devoted her life to the way of swordsmanship. Why did she change her mind now and become interested in this bond of mortals?
After pondering for a moment, Qi Zhen said: "I can promise you, but you have to tell me why you suddenly want to establish a sect. You have always only respected the way of swordsmanship and never asked about Jianghu affairs."
Bai Lu nodded, shook her head, and said something that made Qi Zhen unable to recover for a long time.
"It's not the Jianghu sect, it's the Xianjia sect!" Bai Lu's eyes fell into the distance.
Qi Zhen stood stunned on the spot.
After a long time, he asked: "Why? You are not a Qi practitioner!"
Bai Lu said expressionlessly: "The plan is far-reaching, and I will tell you the pros and cons in detail later. Now you only need to nod or shake your head."
Qi Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the sword in his hand, then at the book on the table, and said, "I promise you!"
