It turns out that in this world, in addition to the immortal cultivators who are born with the Five Elements spiritual roots, there is also a kind of martial arts cultivator without spiritual roots.
And this kind of martial artist is actually the original form of the immortal cultivator.
What's the meaning?
This means that the earliest immortal cultivators did not have spiritual roots.
It is necessary to practice ancient martial arts and cultivate them to a certain level before you can condense the original spiritual roots that can cultivate immortality.
This is also the reason why there has been a saying of martial arts in the secular world since ancient times. The masters of martial arts actually refer to martial arts cultivators.
Ancient martial arts cultivation, like immortal cultivation, also focused on the realm of cultivation.
The first stage is called the enlightenment stage, followed by the ultimate strength stage, questioning stage, transformation stage, virtual stage and nirvana stage. As long as the virtual stage is reached, the original spiritual roots can be condensed in the body.
And this kind of original spiritual root condensed by martial arts is in a sealed state at the beginning, and it needs to go through another Nirvana period before the seal can be released and the spiritual root can be awakened.
In other words, martial arts cultivators will become immortal cultivators only after passing the Nirvana stage.
However, there is no such thing as a Qi refining period or a foundation building period when entering Taoism through martial arts.
The Nirvana stage of martial arts cultivation is equivalent to the foundation-building stage of immortal cultivation. Once the Nirvana stage is passed and the Yuanshi spiritual root is unlocked, one can directly become a Golden Elixir stage monk.
It's the same after that, it's also the Nascent Soul stage, the Transformation stage and so on.
In ancient times, martial arts cultivators used martial arts to enter the Tao. In addition to not having a Qi refining period and a foundation building period, their spiritual roots were also different from those of today.
Their original spiritual roots condensed through martial arts are not called Five Elements Spiritual Roots, but Yuanling Roots.
If the Yuanling root were placed now, it would be a pseudo-spiritual root, the kind that contains the five attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth at the same time.
No matter which system of skills you practice, there is only a 20% bonus, and it is impossible to achieve positive results at all.
However, the environment for cultivating immortals was different in the past. The effects of various spiritual herbs and elixirs, including the pure concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, were not comparable to today.
Therefore, the earliest ancient immortal cultivators all practiced all five elements, and all of them had great supernatural powers.
Practicing martial arts first and then cultivating immortality is also the only right way of cultivation for ancient immortal cultivators.
However, as time passed and generations of immortal cultivators appeared, the spiritual energy of the five elements in the world gradually became less abundant.
The efficacy of the spiritual herbs and elixirs is also not as good as before. If you want to cultivate all five elements again, it will be difficult to achieve the right results.
All things wax and wane in a lifetime, and although the Yuanling Root changes with the environment of cultivating immortals, it can no longer achieve positive results.
But as a result, it gradually evolved into miscellaneous spiritual roots with uneven attributes or even single attributes, which is today's Five Elements Spiritual Roots.
Moreover, it is no longer necessary to practice martial arts to condense and generate it, and it becomes a blood inheritance.
If there are ancestors who are cultivators of immortality, their children or descendants will most likely be born with the Five Elements Spiritual Roots due to their bloodline.
This is also the reason why today's immortal cultivators have spiritual roots without practicing martial arts and why a family of immortal cultivators exists.
After figuring out what the Yuanlinggen was about, Huang Ming also learned about the so-called "Martial Arts Family".
It turns out that ancient martial arts cultivators could no longer use martial arts to enter Taoism and become immortal cultivators in the later stages.
But for ordinary people, martial arts is also a powerful existence, so some people continue to practice.
However, since ancient martial arts techniques can no longer be used to enter Taoism, ancient martial arts cultivators have made some simplifications in the original techniques.
As a result, some of the essence was lost, and eventually it slowly became a kind of aerobics that could only strengthen the body or have a performance nature.
Most of the martial arts sects in the contemporary secular world are like this.
However, after all, ancient martial arts techniques were once orthodox for cultivating immortals, and there are still a small number of authentic ancient martial arts techniques that have been secretly preserved by some persistent ancient martial arts cultivators through family inheritance from generation to generation.
These families are the "Martial Arts Families", and the Duan family in Dali is one of them.
After understanding these things, Huang Ming thought for a while, and then let Duan Yande and the rock knife go.
After all, Shen Hu and the others would have to come down to do things in the future, and he couldn't always accompany them. It was better to do less than to do more.
Seeing the two people leaving, Shen Hu and the others gathered around and kept asking questions, trying to find out the reason.
Huang Ming couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only find an excuse to say that he had learned Qigong and was recognized by the old man.
Because the old man also learned hard qigong, they didn't know each other without fighting, so they eventually turned enemies into friends.
Everyone didn't believe it, especially Lao Su, who shouted directly.
"You know how to do hard Qigong? Then I also know how to use Yang Finger."
After speaking, Lao Su extended his middle finger to Huang Ming.
"Your sister, forget it if you don't believe me, I'm too lazy to explain to you."
Huang Ming didn't want to explain, and couldn't.
Lao Su and Shen Hu still didn't believe it and continued to ask questions.
Huang Ming was bitten to death because he knew hard Qigong and turned enemies into friends. In the end, it was A Bing who calmed down the matter by saying that it was more important to do business first.
Nothing happened after that.
Hao Longhua didn't dare to play any more tricks. Huang Ming and the others also took a flight back to Spring City after completing all the preliminary procedures, and then went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
After getting off the plane and saying goodbye to everyone, Huang Ming had just arrived at the door of his house when the phone rang.
I took it out and saw that it was Xiao Hua.
"Dear sister, you are finally willing to call me. Three years, it will be three years soon. Why are you flying? Why don't you get a call?"
"I thought you had died. What the hell is going on with you?"
Before Xiao Hua could speak, Huang Ming cursed angrily.
He and Xiao Hua are not gay friends, but they can be regarded as a pair of brothers on the road to immortality. He is still a little worried about Xiao Hua's disappearance.
"Oh, don't scream. It's hard to explain what happened to me. I just called you to tell you that I'm not dead. I'll tell you the details when I get back."
Xiao Hua hung up Huang Ming's call directly.
"Hey, hey, it's your sister!".
Huang Ming couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when Xiao Hua hung up the phone.
But then he thought, since Xiao Hua was fine, there was no need to rush, so he put away the phone and opened the door and entered the house.
Okay, two flowers bloom, one on each side.
After talking about Huang Ming, let’s talk about Xiao Hua.
Let's say that three years ago, Xiao Hua decided to go out and visit the major cultivating sects in this world, in order to have the opportunity to verify the attributes of his spiritual roots and obtain advanced mental techniques.
After lying to his family that he was going to work elsewhere and notifying Huang Ming by phone, he embarked on his journey to seek immortality.
Because Xiaoling cultivates immortality in seclusion, he is led by seven major sects: the Four Sects of Buddhism and Taoism, Taibai Qingyun Sect, Huguangyan Wood Sword Sect, Huashan Qiuye Valley, Tianlong Tunbao Qiangu Sect, Meishan Wawu Sect and Beijing Tianchi Cultivation Family.
Xiao Hua decided to visit these sects in order of distance, so the first stop he chose was Tianlong Tunbao Thousand Gu Sect.
He originally didn't want to go to Qian Gu Sect.
Because of Deng Liu's incident, he and Huang Ming bilked those people at the hot pot restaurant, which could be regarded as forming a relationship with the Qian Gu Sect. If they went there and were recognized, they would be trapped in a trap.
But later he changed his mind.
He felt that since the people of Qian Gu Sect could buy their lives in exchange for spiritual stones, there was a high possibility that they could be bribed with spiritual stones to obtain advanced mental techniques.
So after thinking about it, I decided to give it a try.
