More than three months have passed since Qin Yang left Xianxiang Sect. During this time, he focused mainly on comprehending the artistic conception of the madman.
However, the all-important eighteenth drop of the madman's spirit was not condensed.
Now Qin Yang has to face this already very prominent problem, because his Tianyuan Shen transformation skill has reached the edge of the middle innate realm, and it won't be long before he can be promoted to the middle innate realm.
When you reach the middle stage of Xiantian and use the technique of sacrificing your life for righteousness to condense the spirit of the madman, you must challenge the cultivators of the late stage of Xiantian. In this way, the advantages of his martial arts will not be brought into play.
Not only that, the higher the realm, the greater the difference in strength by one level, and the more difficult it is to challenge a higher level. This is why Old Monster Xue asked him to get the Thirty Drops of Madman Spirit before the early stage of Xiantian.
The madman's spirit plays a very important role in Tian Yuan Shen's transformation work. Firstly, it can catalyze the fission of the true energy and increase the speed of cultivation; secondly, it is the medium for the integration of true energy into mystical force. The most important thing is that in the future, Tian Yuan Shen's great magical power
The Divine Transformation Five Elements Sword Technique must be activated by the madman's spirit and the strength of the madman.
A total of thirty-six drops of the madman's spirit can be condensed, thirty of which can be condensed before the golden elixir stage, and the remaining six drops must be condensed after the golden elixir stage.
According to Mr. Xue himself, due to the important role of the madman's spirit, Mr. Xue concentrated all his energy to condense the madman's spirit. It took nearly two hundred years to condense thirty-six drops of the madman's spirit.
success.
However, Qin Yang condensed seventeen drops in less than a year. If Old Monster Xue knew about this speed, he would definitely be shocked.
The reason why Old Monster Xue was so slow in condensing the madman's spirit back then was because when he started cultivating the madman's spirit, his cultivation realm was already at the late stage of the golden elixir.
Immortal cultivators in the late stage of the Golden elixir sacrifice their lives for righteousness to gather the spirit of madmen, so they must challenge the Immortal cultivators of the Great Perfection of the Golden elixir and defeat them.
It is not that easy to challenge a cultivator of the Golden Elixir Dzogchen. The first is that it is difficult to find an opponent. The second is that although there is only one level difference between the Golden Elixir Dzogchen Stage and the late Jindan Stage, the difference in strength is comparable to that of the Xiantian Stage.
The gap between levels is huge.
Therefore, when Old Monster Xue condensed the spirit of the madman, he had a narrow escape. If it were not for the later refining of his natal magic weapon, which greatly increased his strength, Old Monster Xue could condense the spirit of the madman even more slowly, and he might even challenge the golden elixir perfection process at a certain time.
Died.
In order to prevent Qin Yang from taking detours, Old Monster Xue told Qin Yang the entire process of gathering the spirit of a madman.
He warned Qin Yang that before cultivating thirty drops of madman's spirit, he must give priority to cultivating madman's spirit. It is best to condense thirty drops of madman's spirit before the innate early stage. On this basis, he should consider improving his cultivation.
realm.
The fact that Qin Yang condensed seventeen drops of madman spirit so quickly also shows that Old Monster Xue's idea is correct.
The main reason why Qin Yang's ability to gather the madman's spirit was much smoother than that of Old Monster Xue was because Qin Yang's cultivation level was very low at the beginning, which gave him a lot of advantages.
When Qin Yang was in the acquired stage, it was easy to find opponents to challenge, and in the acquired stage, the strength gap between levels was not very obvious. Qin Yang only needed to use his martial arts advantage to completely level the gap with his opponents.
.
In terms of condensing the spirit of the madman, Qin Yang really took advantage of it. Even Old Monster Xue felt that it was unreasonable.
Therefore, before the early stage of Xiantian, Qin Yang could gather the spirit of the madman and at the same time improve the cultivation level of Tianyuan Shen Bian Gong without any conflict.
Now, the eighteenth drop of the madman's spirit has not been successful in condensing, but his realm of cultivation is approaching the middle stage of Xiantian. He has to consider whether to stop the practice of Tianyuan Shen Bian Gong for a period of time, and first let the madman
The spirit must be condensed to 30 drops. The advantage of this is that it can take advantage of the low level of cultivation that it is easy to condense the spirit of the madman.
But the disadvantage of doing this is that the practice of Tianyuan Shen Bian Gong will have to stop for a long time.
If we ignore the difficulty of condensing the madman's spirit in the future, raise the cultivation level of Tianyuan Shen Bian Gong all the way, and then practice to the golden elixir stage in the future to repay this debt, I am afraid that we will be like Old Monster Xue in condensing the madman's spirit.
Spend a lot of time.
Both options have drawbacks, as well as benefits.
Of course, the best result is to condense the 18th drop of madman spirit as soon as possible. This bottleneck will be broken through, and many problems will be solved.
But the difficulty lies in the condensation of these eighteen drops of the madman's spirit. It must be condensed through perceiving the artistic conception. Perceiving the artistic conception of madness is a state of mind cultivation. It is the most difficult to grasp. There is no way to know how much time it will take.
Looking at the seventeen drops of cyan madman's spirit in his body, Qin Yang was extremely eager to condense the eighteenth drop of madman's spirit. As long as he condensed the eighteenth drop, he would soon be able to obtain it by sacrificing his life.
The righteousness method condenses the madman's spirit into twenty-three drops, which not only increases the speed of cultivation, but also saves a lot of trouble in the future.
He took out a pot of wine, and while drinking, he recited the natal writings of mad sages and sages, and understood the artistic conception in them.
The natal writings of mad sages and sages are actually words of enlightenment left over by a group of Confucian scholars who used madness to achieve enlightenment in ancient times when they were refining gods. Later generations can gain some enlightenment from them, but the final understanding still depends on themselves.
To the monks in ancient times, these natal writings were a real artistic conception, and their souls could gradually cultivate and grow in this artistic conception.
But for others, these works are just a way to an artistic conception. Whether you can realize the desired artistic conception through this way depends on your personal state of mind and understanding.
This kind of thing is very mysterious, and it's really not as worry-free as sacrificing one's life to challenge an opponent one level higher than oneself.
As time went by, he gradually entered the state, and his whole mind seemed to be immersed in a stormy sea.
Three days passed, and his mind returned to the world in front of him. Qin Yang, who had failed again, couldn't help but ponder.
"The sky is windy and turbulent, and the sea and mountains are green. From the Tao, I turn against the Qi, and I feel crazy. Isn't it this kind of artistic conception? That feeling is coming soon, but it's not just a little bit."
The artistic conception required by the eighteenth drop of madman spirit is the positioning of the universe and the unity of heaven and man. It is extremely difficult to comprehend this artistic conception. You must first enter the "sky winds and waves, the seas and mountains are green. Follow the Tao to rebel against the qi, and deal with it."
In the artistic conception of "Being Crazy.", you must break through the limitations of this artistic conception before you can enter the next level of the artistic conception of the unity of heaven and earth and the unity of heaven and man.
Now, the most annoying problem for Qin Yang is that in that turbulent sea, he can't always feel the artistic conception of "reacting from the Tao and going crazy".
Qin Yang now couldn't help but start to wonder if there was something wrong with the direction of his perception.
