Bai Gu usually eats breakfast and finishes his morning ghost work, and then goes to Wang Xizhou's room to read and read. But after yesterday's trip to the City Lord's Mansion, Bai Gu decided not to go to Wang Xizhou in the next few days.
It's not that Bai Gu wants to be lazy and not study, it's just that he saw Wang Xizhou's injury with his own eyes yesterday, and he was really embarrassed to disturb his recovery, lest Wang Xizhou get the root of his illness.
But Bai Gu never expected that Wang Xizhou himself would come over with a book before others came over.
Bai Gu was still a little confused when he opened the door.
At this point, shouldn't Wang Xizhou lie in bed and rest? Why are you here?
Wang Xizhou's face was slightly pale, but he was in good spirits and spoke with great energy. "Xiao Bai, today it's time to learn the Thousand-Character Essay. Xizhou is here to explain."
Bai Gu had no choice but to nod quickly, invite Wang Xizhou into the room, and pour him a glass of water, "Brother Wang, why are you here? You should be taking care of yourself in bed."
"Xizhou has been waiting for you in the room for a long time. I saw that you still didn't come after a certain time, so I had no choice but to come find you."
Bai Gu scratched his head in embarrassment, "Isn't it because I saw that Brother Wang was injured, so I wanted to stop for a while and let Brother Wang recover from your injuries?"
"Xiaobai, studying and studying is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. This is an important period for you, so don't waste it. You must overcome difficulties and review often. If you can study hard and have some ink classics in your belly, you will be able to read, write, and walk in the future. If you don’t mince your words when wading through mountains and rivers, then Xizhou’s injuries will not be worth mentioning.”
"You can't say that. Brother Wang's injury should be taken good care of. If it's because of me that the root of the disease is left, then my sin will be huge." Bai Gu said with a smile.
Wang Xizhou shook his head, "Since you chose to let Xizhou teach you reading and literacy, then Xizhou can't be too casual and follow your heart. Xizhou should be a good example and always urge you not to be too playful and neglect your studies. Only by persevering in everything can you succeed. You can taste the sweet spring fruit."
Wang Xizhou handed out one of the two books in his hand, "This is a thousand-character text. You can take a look first to see which words you don't recognize and which sentences you can't read. Xizhou will teach you how to read first, and then the next few Tian Xizhou will slowly explain this thousand-character text to help you sort out and understand its meaning and truth."
Bai Gu took the book, flipped through two pages, and asked: "Brother Wang, did you suffer a lot in the battle with that Xianxi yesterday?"
Wang Xizhou glanced at Bai Gu and knew that if Bai Gu's doubts were not solved, he would not be able to read the book today. "Fortunately, his state is a kind of self-imprisonment, and his strength is not even strong." It doesn’t even count. Otherwise, Xizhou’s cultivation level, which has just established its foothold in the Pifan Realm, would be completely unable to compete with it.”
"Is he strong?"
"At least among the people we have played against in Xizhou, he can be ranked among the top three."
Bai Gu raised his eyebrows.
Yo, this guy has a story.
But then Bai Gu thought about it, a guy who was several decades old in the Mortal Realm... No, he was in the Soul Swallowing Realm before. He had traveled to countless places, how could he not have some stories?
And judging from the tone of Hua Xie and Zaixi, the family behind Wang Xizhou is very powerful?
Isn’t there more to the story?
"Then what you and Brother Hua were talking about yesterday... uh... Juding, yes, Juding, what kind of realm is this? Is it also the transcendent realm?"
Wang Xizhou nodded, and then explained to Bai Gu some realms of cultivation.
Awakening the soul and opening up the meridians, forging the soul to lock the soul, knocking on the avenue of profound knowledge, swallowing the soul and condensing the soul, removing the world and washing away the dirt.
Each realm has a well-defined order of practice, and the divisions of each small realm are also very different.
The soul-enlightening state opens up all parts of the body and introduces spiritual power to flow throughout the body. It is divided into three levels: Yongquan, Tanzhong, and Niwan.
The spirit-casting realm requires condensing spiritual essence everywhere in the body, which is divided into nine levels. Filling one place is the first level.
The path to enlightenment in the Kuxuan Realm can only be entered for the first time, and you will either stop there or reach the sky in one step.
In the spirit-swallowing realm, the spiritual accumulation in the body must be condensed again and turned into spiritual xuan, which is divided into nine levels, and one condensed one is the first level.
In addition to their different small realms, these four realms also have peaks and perfections. If you cross the shackles of perfection, you can advance to the next realm.
There are three levels of transcendent realm, and there is no distinction between peak and perfection. Slightly different from other realms, the third level of the Mortal Realm can almost be regarded as three completely new realms. It's just that these three levels are too closely related, so they can only be forcibly summarized into one level.
Therefore, the realm of transcendence is also regarded by the world as a watershed in the path of spiritual practice.
If you cross it, you can sing loudly and hope for a path to immortality. If you can't cross it, you are actually just better than ordinary people. In the eyes of those at a high level, you are no different from ordinary people.
To reach the realm of transcendence, half a step to become a mortal, one step to become an immortal.
Among the nine realms of cultivation, the realm of transcendence is the fifth realm. Coupled with its special sequence of cultivation, it is a nightmare that many practitioners cannot overcome in their lives.
The third level of the Pimortal Realm is divided into Spirit Refining, Dingding and Baptism.
To refine one's spirit, you need to find a treasure land with abundant spiritual power, and use the treasure elixir that matches your own path to temper your own spiritual power. The more times you temper, the purer your spiritual power will be, and the road to spiritual practice will be broader and smoother in the future.
Gathering the top requires gathering the spiritual power of the whole body, breaking through the shackles of the body, dispersing it outside the body and then condensing it on the top of the head, and returning it to the body with the force of enlightenment. This is called breaking and then standing.
Baptism is even more difficult. You need to find an opportunity that is consistent with your own path and good luck. In it, you can have an epiphany, trigger a vision of heaven and earth or a gift from the path, and trigger a baptism of spiritual power, so that all aspects of yourself can be benefited. sublimation.
In these three levels, resources, luck, treasures, perseverance, and talent are all indispensable. Moreover, the three levels are intertwined. As long as one level is rushed and treated casually, the promotion of subsequent realms will not be satisfactory, and some accidents may even occur. It can range from basic damage to the foundation and internal injuries to the state of decline, to severe consequences such as going crazy and losing consciousness.
The things required by the third level of the Pimortal Realm are too demanding. Those big sects and big families can let their subordinates search for them without spending much time and energy on their own.
But those small sects, small families, and Shanze cultivators were miserable.
Bai Gu touched his chin, "Ju Ding, is that the idiom...three flowers gather at the top?"
Wang Xizhou nodded, "Three Flowers Gathering at the Top is a term originally used for the Neidan lineage. It comes from the "Golden elixir collection" written by Master Yuan Rui. The knowledge of the Neidan lineage is profound and unpredictable. There are three flowers gathering at the top, and the five Qi are towards the Yuanzhi. Said. The three flowers are the essence and spirit, that is, refining the essence into qi, refining the qi into the spirit, and refining the spirit to return to emptiness. The so-called "gathering" means that the essence, qi, and spirit are condensed and mixed into one hole in the entrance. In the past, flowers and Huatong, Hua is the original character of flower, so the three flowers are Sanhua, which represents the glory of the human body's essence, energy and spirit. The top is also connected to the cauldron, and the essence, energy and spirit are mixed in one place, which is like a medicine cauldron in an alchemy furnace, smelting and tempering a body's Taoism. . According to legend, there was a Taoist man who gathered in the Niwan Palace with strong Taoist energy. Fortune descended from the sky, and purple golden lotus flowers gradually bloomed in the sky and soared into the sky during the day. The saying that three flowers gathered at the top first came from this. .”
"The five Qi Chaoyuan..."
"If we want to talk about this, we have to talk about it together with the Three Flowers Gathering, and we have to quote from the scriptures and peel off the cocoons. It involves so much that we can't finish it in three days and three nights. Xizhou is very happy to talk about it, but he doesn't know Xiaobai Do you want to hear it?"
The corner of Bai Gu's mouth stiffened, "Then forget it."
Then Bai Gu asked again: "In the realm of transcending mortals, is there a big difference between refining spirits and gathering the top?"
Wang Xizhou made an analogy, "If the soul-enlightening realm is one, the spirit-casting realm is ten, the Kuxuan realm is one hundred, and so on, the transcending mortal realm is ten thousand. There are three levels of the transcending mortal realm, each representing two levels. Ten thousand, fifty thousand and ninety thousand. The gap between these three levels increases exponentially."
Bai Gu was stunned, and then another doubt came to his mind, "But if it increases according to multiples, the Pifan realm is five realms, the Dao realm is six realms, and the five realms are ten thousand, then the six realms are not one hundred thousand. But Pifan realm The baptism for the third level is only 90,000, where did the other 10,000 go?"
Wang Xizhou smiled and said, "Below ninety-five thousand is still baptism, and above ninety-five thousand is the beginning of entering the half-step realm."
"That's it." Bai Gu rolled his eyes, "Then that ghost thing on Jiaoyue Mountain before was the real Dao Realm or the Half-Way Realm?"
"That kind of majestic aura is unquestionably in the Dao realm."
Bai Gu looked at Wang Xizhou and thought he would continue talking, but he didn't expect that he would stop right there.
Bai Gu licked his dry lips, "What kind of division is the Dao Realm realm?"
Wang Xizhou took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and then said calmly: "Xizhou naturally knows the details of the Dao Realm, but it is not convenient to say it now."
"Why?"
"Xiaobai, you don't understand the principle of running to death in Wangshan, right?"
Bai Gu hesitated for a moment, then cursed secretly in his heart.
Aren't you just afraid that I am too ambitious and have high ambitions but low ambitions?
As for scolding in such a subtle way?
No wonder Hua Xie and Duan Qie both said that scholars have many dirty eyes, and they were right!
Bai Gu thought of a new topic and missed what Wang Xizhou had just said, "Brother Wang, your current cultivation level can be considered as being in the spirit refining realm?"
Wang Xizhou shook his head slightly, "It can only be considered as barely breaking through half a step, and completely establishing a foothold in the world of transcendence. As for spiritual refining, Xizhou has not yet found a treasure or treasure land that matches his own path to temper his spiritual power, so It can’t be considered a spiritual refining realm.”
A strange idea suddenly appeared in Bai Gu's mind, but Duan Qie once told him that cultivators have many taboos, one of which is to make other people's paths clear to their faces and make them public. Unless the other person proposes it himself, even if it is a close relative, Everyone will have grudges.
So Bai Guzai wanted to confirm the idea in his heart.
Wang Xizhou saw Bai Gu's hesitant look and said, "Xiao Bai, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. If Xizhou knows, he will definitely tell you everything."
Bai Gu hesitated for a moment, then a red light flashed on his hand, and a light barrier enveloped the two of them.
Seeing Bai Gu display this move, Wang Xizhou couldn't help but feel a little more solemn.
After being together for so many days, Wang Xizhou also knew that Bai Gu's enchantment was very powerful. When used with the spirit-casting realm cultivation level, it was difficult to peek even at the peak of the spirit-swallowing realm. It was much deeper than the enchantments he had already mastered.
If it were an ordinary matter, with Bai Gu's character, he would not display this barrier. In the same way, it is definitely not an ordinary thing that can allow Bai Gu to display this barrier.
