Chapter 163 Martial cultivators forge their bodies, immortal cultivators strengthen their souls
This person is actually practicing, using the rarely known method of breathing and breathing.
This is not a common practice method in the ancient martial arts world, but a common practice method in the world of immortality.
This polite and kind young man is not only an ancient warrior with inner energy, but he is also a practitioner of both immortality and martial arts.
Let us first clarify an important concept here. The so-called "immortals" are not immortals who live in the sky and have boundless magic power, but refer to human beings who have achieved immortality through various means.
Immortal cultivators are cultivating immortality. The focus is only on longevity, not how powerful they are. They cannot be confused with the immortals in myths and legends who can move mountains and fill seas with boundless magic power.
Therefore, the name Immortal Cultivator sounds very high-end, and is a hundred times more powerful than the Ancient Warrior. In fact, it is probably just a scumbag. In a real fight, most Immortal Cultivators are not as good as the Ancient Warrior in combat ability.
Ancient warriors strengthened their bodies through boxing practice and gained experience through actual combat, thereby gaining powerful combat capabilities.
Immortal cultivators are different. They should be calm, cultivate their moral character, and rarely use force with others.
As for the cultivation method, it is a combination of various methods. Usually, it is mainly breathing or visualizing and meditating, supplemented by methods of nourishing the body, and adding the help of elixirs to increase the power of the soul, and thus embark on the road to immortality.
road.
To sum up, it is not complicated. Ancient warriors strengthen their bodies, while cultivators train their souls. The body increases material strength, and the soul increases spiritual strength. The former is easy to understand, but the latter is difficult to get started with.
Therefore, among the world's experts, there are many martial arts cultivators but few immortal cultivators. Those cultivators who can cross the threshold are even rarer, even rarer than giant pandas.
In ancient times, immortality was also popular. There were many celebrities in history who were cultivators of immortality, such as Peng Zu. From Emperor Yao, to Emperor Shun, and then to Emperor Yu, he lived through Xia, Shang and Zhou successively.
Eight hundred years old.
Another example is Xu Fu, a famous alchemist in the Qin and Han Dynasties. He was also a cultivator of immortality. He also lived for hundreds of years, lived freely overseas, and lived forever.
There are also the immortal Yin Changsheng and the miracle doctor Sun Simiao mentioned above. These are actually immortal cultivators, and each of them has a lifespan far longer than that of ordinary humans.
In terms of rarity, immortal cultivators are far rarer than ancient warriors. This was the case in ancient feudal dynasties, let alone modern society with rapid scientific development.
If ancient warriors are one in ten thousand, then immortal cultivators have to add a few zeros after the number. It can be said that there is no one among tens of millions of people. Ye Xingyu even suspects that the way of cultivating immortals may have become extinct.
.
As for the dual cultivation of immortality and martial arts, it is even less so. It is difficult to take either of these two paths. If you want to achieve results, it is mostly wishful thinking.
Cultivating martial arts mainly depends on one’s bones; cultivating immortality depends on one’s character of mind.
Of course, understanding, talent, and hard work are also essential. Whether you are cultivating immortality, martial arts, or other industries, you need these two things.
Warriors usually have a strong mentality and need to be brave and diligent and move forward indomitably, so most of them like to fight bravely and act willfully. But if you want to live forever, you can't have a bad temper. You must have a good attitude of calmly dealing with the collapse of the mountain.
, cultivate your moral character, be quiet and do nothing, only in this way can you achieve success on your way to immortality.
The two can be said to be completely opposite in terms of state of mind, and it is difficult to coordinate. Therefore, whether it is a person who practices martial arts and practices immortality, or a person who practices immortality and practices martial arts, there is a feeling that he cannot use chopsticks if he is used to holding knives and forks.
However, in history, there are many famous figures who practiced both immortality and martial arts, such as Bodhidharma, the founder of Shaolin, Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang, Zhang Daoling, the founder of Zhengtaoism, and Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Taoism. These are all immortality and martial arts
A peerless master of dual cultivation.
An ancient warrior, even if he reaches the innate realm, can only live for more than a hundred years at most. However, if he has achieved some achievements in the immortal way, it is not difficult to live for two to three hundred years.
As for the young man who had just arrived, it was not surprising that he was an ancient warrior with inner energy. What was strange was that he actually knew the breathing method of an immortal cultivator, which made Ye Xingyu have to pay attention.
Ye Xingyu also knows a lot about the cultivation methods in the world of immortality. They are nothing more than visualization, breath regulation, mind clarity, and righteousness. The essence is not mysterious. In fact, it is to condense the mind, temper the will, and then strengthen the soul. Over time, the soul can be strengthened.
Produce power, that is, mysterious and mysterious spiritual power.
Therefore, the body of the immortal cultivator is not strong, but he has more magical spiritual power. In a head-on battle, he is defeated by the ancient warrior, but when he does evil in secret, he can be a hundred times better.
The combat methods of immortal cultivators do not rely on strong bodies, but strange spells derived from mental power. However, the power of these spells is often not great, and it is definitely not earth-shattering. It can neither bring down the magic that envelopes the whole city.
Meteors and fire showers cannot summon the hell dragon that destroys the world, so don't think too much of the immortal cultivators.
It is not easy for a cultivator to get started, but it is even more difficult to develop spiritual power and be able to master it skillfully. It is even more difficult to reach the sky than it is for ancient warriors to develop internal strength.
Many immortal cultivators who have mastered the cultivation methods are also weaklings like ordinary people. If they really conflict with ancient warriors, they will definitely be beaten on the spot. This has created a situation where the immortal way is not as good as the martial arts.
The advantage of immortality is longevity, but in ancient society, the government was weak, the legal system was imperfect, wars were chaotic, and thieves were rampant. It was not easy to live a hundred years in troubled times. It was better to learn martial arts to protect the whole family.
The person who cultivated immortality did not become famous, but was beheaded with a knife.
The ancient martial arts may be revived, but the Immortal Way has long since declined and is almost extinct.
The last time Ye Xingyu dealt with an immortal cultivator was during the era of Hua Shen Tong. After he became Luo Xiu, he had never seen an immortal cultivator again. He didn't expect to meet one in this remote restaurant.
And he is not an old monster, but a young man, which deserves his attention.
The human soul is formless and formless, and the spiritual power is also invisible. Ye Xingyu can see the young man's ancient martial arts skills, but he cannot see whether he has mastered the power of the soul.
If it were just a guess, Ye Xingyu thought there was no such thing. After all, cultivating the soul was much more difficult than the physical body. Unless one was extremely talented, it would be difficult to achieve results. He could not achieve results even if he persisted day and night for decades, and so did he himself.
Because of incredible opportunities and adventures, you can have a powerful and immortal soul.
Just when Ye Xingyu was paying attention to this young man, something moved in his heart and he had a new feeling.
There were visitors again outside the house. There were four people in total, and they were all ancient warriors.
Three people came from the front, but one of them left the group and sneaked around to the back, which is the direction of the kitchen.
