Chapter 15 Five Realms of Cultivation
After the flying sword gift was finished, the Sima Sect Master smiled and said, "According to the rules of this sect, any cultivator can choose a masterless immortal mountain as a cultivation cave within the scope of the sect. Elder Gao will take you to choose later."
Fang Ling had known that he had such rights for a long time, but now it has become a reality. It is really good to think about it. Although Huo Junyuan has a cave, it is just a peak in an immortal mountain. Moreover, the peak is in the lower realm of cultivation, so it is naturally much inferior.
Next, Sima Zhong signaled the boy at the table to pour wine for everyone. A glass of jade juice entered his throat. Fang Ling felt that the juice was as full as a peach. The taste was more than a hundred times better than the best wine in the lower world. He then took a bite of the spiritual fruit, not only accompanied by a wisp of innate energy entering his throat. The taste of the spiritual fruit was more like a mixture of thousands of fruits. Various flavors stimulating the taste buds, without any conflict. Finally, it gathered into an extremely unique taste, which made people feel really intoxicated.
Not only Fang Ling was so intoxicated, but Xiao Xue and others were also amazed at the first taste of the food in the upper world. Huo Junyuan even praised: "Such spiritual creature is really fascinating and has endless aftertaste."
A black-shirted elder on the opposite side smiled and said, "These spiritual fruits grow on the fruit mountain of our sect, condensed into innate energy, moistened by rain and dew, shining with the sun and the moon, ten years of life, thirty years of fruits, and deliciousness is naturally not comparable to those of the fruits in the lower realm. However, if they are in the upper realm, they can only have the ordinary taste."
A fat elder next to him said a little yearningly: "I heard that the Hundred Lotus Holy Fruit of Jiuhua Sect is the best taste. You can forget all kinds of troubles by just one bite, which is unforgettable for your life."
Fang Ling and others were secretly surprised when they heard this. Such delicious fruit juice was just ordinary in the upper world. I really didn’t know what the best taste looked like. Everyone looked at each other and made up their minds. It seemed that this Jiuhua Sect must go to see the world.
Although everyone has a broad vision in the mortal world and the lower realm, they are like frogs in the well when they arrive in the cultivation world, and they don’t know anything at all.
Sima Zhong seemed to understand everyone's thoughts and said with a smile: "You have just entered the world of cultivation. Many things are new to you, but after living for a long time, your horizons will naturally broaden. This is not urgent. But I want to explain some things to you first. You probably don't know the division of the realm of cultivators, right?"
Fang Ling and others shook their heads and their expressions became solemn at the same time.
Sima Zhong said lightly: "In the eyes of mortals or many disciples, overcoming tribulation and becoming a cultivator is the end of the path of cultivation, and from then on, you can be free from heaven and earth. However, in fact, becoming a cultivator is just the beginning of the path of cultivation. The path of cultivation is the path of immortality, and one day it is expected to ascend to the immortal world and be in the immortal class."
Fang Ling and others couldn't help but look at each other, and they were secretly surprised. In their opinion, cultivators were already equivalent to immortals, and the cultivation world was also the highest level. Unexpectedly, there was an immortal world above the cultivation world.
Sima Zhong said: "The fairy world is higher than our cultivation world, and all the living things are like gods and immortals. The relationship between immortals and us is just like our relationship with mortals. It is a world and a world. The gap between them is like a chasm of billions of gamblings, which is unsurpassed and difficult to look up to. And the difficulties and obstacles that need to be experienced from cultivators to become immortals are even more indescribable, and it is tens of millions of times more difficult than from cultivators to cultivate from cultivators."
Only then did Fang Ling realize that his understanding was wrong. In fact, this was easy to understand. Just as the cultivator would not easily interfere in the affairs of the mortal world, nor would the immortals easily interfere in the affairs of the cultivator. Therefore, it is normal for many cultivators to see immortals throughout their lives, let alone the earthly world.
However, a passionate ambition surged in Fang Ling's heart. When meeting Sima Zhong and other elders for the first time, he felt an incalculable strength. However, if their strength was as small as a grain of dust than the immortal, the strength of the immortal was simply creepy and extremely fearful. At the same time, it made people feel a strong desire to obtain that strong strength.
Whether you are a mortal or an immortal, you must always have higher pursuits. Once you lose your pursuit, that person will be no different from a dead person. Hearing Sima Zhong's words, a ignited a majestic fire in Fang Ling's originally silent heart.
Huo Junyuan clasped his fists and asked, "Dare you ask the sect leader, how do you divide the realm of the cultivator?"
Sima Zhongzheng explained: "The realm of cultivators is divided into five major stages, namely: foundation building stage, golden elixir stage, nascent burning stage, god transformation stage and tribulation stage. Each stage is divided into early stage, mid stage, late stage and Great Perfection stage. When you ascend to this point, it proves that you have entered the early stage of foundation building stage. In addition to ghost cultivators, the source of golden elixir has been condensed in your body."
Everyone listened carefully. The five realms of cultivation were divided into twenty levels of five realms, and the seven realms of mortal martial arts were divided into twenty-one level of seven realms. It seems that there is no obvious difference in the number, but everyone knows in their hearts that if they want to step one level in the realm of cultivation, they are afraid that the effort spent will be longer than the success of the entire mortal world's efforts.
However, this place is the upper realm of cultivation, and the place where innate energy gathers. The environment is different, so you should be very skilled when practicing. Although you don’t know how terrible there are in the upper realm, everyone is extremely courageous and confident.
Next, Sima Zhong explained a lot of common sense to everyone about the realm of cultivation and the realm of cultivation. Everyone listened very deeply and kept it in their hearts.
Not long after, the elders also interrupted, talking about the affairs of the upper realm, eating precious fruits, drinking jade juice, and hearing unheard strange things. How free and easy it is.
When the banquet ended, the elders returned to the cave, while Fang Ling and his group followed Elder Gao to the Wudian Treasure House.
Elder Gao is over 100 years old, and it is the Great Perfect Realm of the Foundation Establishment Period, which is three levels higher than the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Period.
Elder Gao has a kind appearance and is very easy-going person. He walks very slowly, and he looks very leisurely when he shakes one step and three times. Fortunately, Fang Ling and others first arrived at the upper realm and were very novel about the things around him. They also turned around and looked around.
Not long after, everyone came to a fairy mountain. There was a cave wrapped in green vines in the mountains. The gate of the cave was as thick as iron, with layers of blue patterns carved on it, which was obviously a special magic circle.
Elder Gao stood in front of the door, pinching the magic formula with both hands, and then heard a few crisp sounds of "cracking", as if an iron lock was broken. Immediately afterwards, the thick stone door slowly rose, revealing a wide passage leading to the depths.
Elder Gao turned around and said to everyone: "This place is the important place of our sect, and only welcomes elder-level figures of our sect. Therefore, if you are not the other fellow Taoists of this sect, please wait outside the sect and do not trespass."
So Chu Yao and others stayed in the open space outside the door, learning how to control the flying sword. The Tianjing Ling Fox and the Little Lei Diao also stayed outside, rolling and playing. Fang Ling, Huo Junyuan, Xiao Xue and Song Ying'er followed Elder Gao to enter the forbidden area of the treasure house.
The wall of the cave is as smooth as a mirror, faintly revealing dark green. There seem to be green growing in the stone, strands and lines, which are quite strange. After walking forward for a while, we came to a circular hall. In the middle of the circular hall there was a three-foot-high square cylindrical platform. On the circular table was placed a jade record, and hundreds of square grooves were carved around the circular hall, and a jade piece was placed in each groove.
Elder Gao stood at the entrance of the hall, with his hands behind his back and said, "This is the first floor of the treasure house. The jade record on the middle round platform contains the "Xiyue Jue" mental method of this sect's cultivation level. You can learn it. This is the basis for everyone in this sect to practice everything. In addition, the jade pieces in the surrounding stone trough are engraved with magic that the Foundation Establishment disciples can learn. Each of you can take a sect that suits you."
Everyone was secretly happy. It seemed that there were indeed many privileges to be an elder. You should know that in the lower realm, if you want to buy good spells, you have to pay a large amount of spirit stones. However, when you reach the level of cultivation, everything seems to be provided for free.
So, Fang Ling and the other two came to the round platform together, reached out and pressed their hands on the jade record, and lines of text were immediately passed into the minds of everyone through the void. In just a moment, everyone had already recorded everything about the Xiyue Art, and was secretly surprised. Compared with the disciple-level Xinyue Art, the Xiyue Art is countless times more profound. One word is as difficult to understand and profound as it contains. Even Fang Ling thought about it for a while but still couldn't see the final result. From this point of view, we know that the improvement of the realm of cultivation is indeed as Sima Zhong said, and it is definitely comparable to the cultivation of the mortal world.
After finishing the method, everyone scattered and found spells that matched their own characteristics among the surrounding jade pieces. Each jade piece had the name and characteristics of the spell written in front of it, so it was clear at a glance.
Not long after, Huo Junyuan had found a satisfactory spell, called "Hundred Tigers Devouring Whale", the way to scatter the immortals. Because it emphasizes the extreme unity of the body and soul, it has the most powerful body among various cultivation schools, and its melee ability is undoubtedly the first. Once the hundreds of tigers Devouring Whale Art is successfully practiced, it can condense the innate energy into the power of hundreds of tigers without the need for any magic weapon, and exert extremely powerful power within a medium distance. If equipped with melee magic weapons, the power is enough to be described as shocking.
Immediately afterwards, Song Ying'er also found a spell that suits her, called "Ye Ming Qianqian". This spell can condense the caster's innate energy into thousands of stitches and attack the opponent at a very long distance. Moreover, the higher the skill of the cultivator, the stronger the spirit, the more the number of stitches it can control and the greater the power, which is suitable for Song Ying'er's flying needle technique.
