Chi Yao put the final touch, and the wound on his hand healed automatically, ending today's blood refining of the sacred tree.
Looking at the blood slowly seeping into the branches, he silently calculated the progress of the blood refining.
"Almost one fifth completed..."
The root system of this tree hidden in the mountain is so huge that it is really hard to see and startled. It is just like an iceberg on the sea, only a small part of it is exposed to the water.
However, this was just a grinding effort, and Chi Yao was mentally prepared. After exhaling a breath of turbid air, he returned to the ground, looking at the sacred Fusang tree whose canopy covered half of the mountain, slightly lost in thought.
A trip to the Yin Yang family, in addition to persuading Donghuang Taiyi, naturally also cannot let go of the Yin Yang family's classics.
Although it is a branch that split from Taoism, the Yin Yang School has several times more classics than Taoism.
Because they did not follow the Taoist approach of harmonizing yin and yang and integrating Hunyuan, but took an eccentric approach, subdividing each path individually and then tearing it apart, and deducing it to the extreme.
For example, the Taoist Shang Shui has the top exercises [Wanchuan Autumn Water] and [Heart as Still Water], which aim to realize two states of movement and stillness respectively. Water is just a tool for them to understand and explain the Tao, not the specific goal of practice.
.
In other words, the ultimate disciple who practices [Wanchuan Autumn Water] and [Heart as Still Water] is not to control water, but to use water to realize the principles of movement and stillness.
But the Yin Yang family's techniques are completely different.
They also have water skills, but whether it is [The Supreme Good is Like Water] or [White Dew and Frost], the goal of practice is to manipulate the substances themselves, water and ice.
Compared with Taoism, it can be said that one uses the outside and the other uses the inside.
That's not all. In Taoist philosophy, heaven, earth, and the human body should be one and the same. In practice, there is no distinction between water, fire, wood, earth, etc. They regard these as vitality and treat them equally. If the skill is reached, there is no way to distinguish between water, fire, wood, earth, etc.
It drives the leaves but cannot drive the water flow.
But the Yin Yang family is different.
In order to reduce the difficulty of cultivating disciples, they differentiated fire control, water control, wood control, etc. from the beginning, so that the disciples can develop combat power as soon as possible.
Give a vivid example.
Taoist practice is like our ordinary schooling, learning Chinese, math, English, physics, chemistry, politics, history, geography, physical education, music, and everything, and developing it comprehensively. However, the practice of Yin Yang School is to only learn one subject, and choose a specialization from the beginning.
, devote yourself wholeheartedly to one task, and the progress will naturally be much faster than that of a comprehensive learning method.
This also reflects the fundamental differences between Yin Yang and Taoism.
Taoism also talks about yin and yang, but what they emphasize is that "lonely yin does not grow, solitary yang does not arise", and round Tai Chi is the right way. On the other hand, the Yin and Yang School is just the opposite. What they pursue is to go alone, be refined and special, in order to find that trace of
The possibility of breaking the limits.
These two ideals cannot be simply said to be good or bad, but there is no doubt that the ideas of the Yin Yang family reveal an overwhelming paranoia and visible risks.
This can be seen from the fact that the hands of the great masters of the past dynasties who practiced the fire-based exercise [Yin-Yang Mudra] were as scarlet as blood. It is not impossible to specialize in one thing, but being too specialized and too precise will indeed cause problems.
In fact, it’s not just the Fire Department’s [Yin Yang Combination Mudra]. After looking at the Yin Yang family’s collection of books, Chi Yao discovered that the Wood Department’s [Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flowers], including the Water Department’s [The Supreme Good Like Water] and [White Dew and Frost], as well as the Earth Department,
Many Jinbu exercises actually have risks, they are just greater or less.
Even the last three parts of Sun, Moon and Star are no exception, not to mention the forbidden spells in the Yin veins that were originally studied from the curse of witchcraft. Most of them only hurt the enemy by 1,000 and damage themselves by 800, and some even
In other words, if you injure the enemy eight hundred, you will lose one thousand.
After browsing through it, most of them are of no use to Chi Yao. At most, they just enrich his methods of training subordinates in the future.
But there was one thing that really interested him.
Those are the five fundamental skills of the Yin Yang family - alchemy, illusion art, mind control spell, astrological law and soul changing method.
Alchemy in Xu Fu's hands can only be used to make alchemy, but in fact it is a pretty good technique, suitable for both alchemy and weapon refining, and is no worse than the alchemy technique Chi Yao learned from Yuan Tiangang.
It is possible that the Illusion Art, the Mind Control Mantra and the Astrological Laws can be combined with some of the Gu in Chi Yao's body to enhance their functions.
And what he valued most was undoubtedly the soul-changing method.
This thing can be said to be the supreme secret of the Yin Yang family, and this scope can even be expanded to the entire Taoist family.
The soul and body can be regarded as two parts of the human body, while spirit, energy and spirit are the three treasures of the human body. However, compared with many physical and qi training methods, there are very few that involve spiritual training.
There is a saying in Taoism: refining essence to transform Qi, refining Qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to void, refining void to combine with Tao. Progress step by step until you reach Tao.
But most people are stuck at the step of refining Qi and becoming God.
They cannot strengthen their souls through Qi training!
However, there are very few schools that have spiritual refining techniques. At present, the only one Chi Yao has identified is the Taoist school.
Whether it is Zhuang Zhou Hua Die or those disciples of the Yin Yang family who have successfully practiced the soul-changing method, they have clearly demonstrated the power and extraordinaryness of their souls.
Although it is still not stable, there is no doubt that this road is possible.
As mentioned before, Chi Yao was able to defeat Donghuang Taiyi not because he was at a higher level, but because he had stronger combat power, knew himself and the enemy, and was more targeted in his preparations.
In other words, he was equivalent to using the power of a hundred levels of Qi training to defeat Donghuang Taiyi who was in the ordinary realm of god refining.
So after obtaining the soul-refining method from the Yin-Yang family, Chi Yao was also thinking about whether he should also use this set of techniques to break through the soul-refining process.
After all, the Yin Yang family's method of refining gods is very clear, and the Fuso sacred tree is there, so he can use it very easily.
The only question is whether he wants to.
"Do you want to or not?"
Chi Yao looked at the Fuso sacred tree close to Chi Chi, but his eyes were empty.
There is a saying, if Chi Yao had not seen the methods of Yan Fei and Donghuang Taiyi before, there would be no way for Chi Yao to hesitate if there was a way to improve his realm.
After all, although realm is not directly equivalent to combat power, it is also a strongly related attribute. Since it can be improved, why should there be any hesitation?
But now, Donghuang Taiyi and Yan Fei's fighting prowess that can be said to stretch their legs made him hesitate.
It's not that the realm of refining gods is not good, but he doubts whether there is something wrong with the Yin Yang family's soul-changing method. Otherwise, why are both of them so weak?
And there is another point, body and soul, one body and two sides, one yin and one yang, the attributes between each other cannot be too different.
However, if he practices the soul-changing method of the Yin-Yang family, his path to god-refining will only be through the sun, which does not seem to be a good match for his Chi You body in terms of physical characteristics.
Compared with the method of refining gods, his body, which has been tempered many times and has reached the state of human-gu integration, is the foundation of cultivation.
If the enhanced soul cannot coordinate well with the body, then it is better not to use this improvement.
Of course, the reason why he can think so leisurely and leisurely about whether to practice god is because he can travel out of control and not be trapped in the current world.
He believed that in the future, in a more advanced world, the method of refining gods would definitely be indispensable, which was why Ning Quemu was so confident now.
