"What's the bigger story?" Zhou Yang became interested.
"Exactly. Do you know who the deputy sect leader of Zhou Tianzong is?" Song Dahu said.
"I don't know, little brother. Could it be..." Zhou Yang seemed to understand something.
"Haha, that's right. The man's surname is Gongxi, his single name is Qian, and he is known as the old man Fu Fu. Gongxi Qian is aloof and cold by nature. He doesn't like liveliness or walking around. He is very low-key in the sect, but his strength is unfathomable. Even stronger than Master Lan. And he is the uncle of General Deacon Gongxi."
"No wonder, it turns out they all have a big background!" Before Zhou Yang could say anything, Tie Hu sighed.
"Yes, not only in Dingbei, but also in such a large cultivation world, the relationship between various cities and factions is also complicated. The water is very deep. If you are not careful, you will fall into it. The matter of Gongxi's uncle and nephew I still know some, but more secrets are beyond our control." Song Dahu sighed.
"Background, backing! Can't you survive without a backing? If you don't have the strength, no matter how strong your backing is, what will happen? It's better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. As long as you are strong, you can gain a foothold in the world of cultivation without backing or background!"
Song Dahu's words inspired Zhou Yang's unwillingness to admit defeat.
"Although the words are good, the road to spiritual cultivation is so long. Without a strong backer, it is unclear whether we can survive, let alone gain a foothold."
Although Song Dahu agreed with Zhou Yang's point of view, he knew that practicing Taoism was not easy, so he would not be blindly impulsive, and he did not believe that he could go far without background and support.
"Haha, brother, it's too far. The fourth brother has been selected, so let him meditate well. I'd better not disturb him." Song Laosan was not interested in what they said, so he spoke out to drive them away.
"Yes, brother, there are not many days until Zhou Tianzong's selection. The fourth brother has just made a breakthrough and still needs to stabilize his realm. We'd better leave first." Erhu also interjected.
"Haha, that's good. Let's retreat first and don't disturb the fourth brother's cultivation." Song Dahu said with a smile.
"Congratulations, brother!"
After everyone exited, Zhou Yang also put away his thoughts, sat down cross-legged, took the Gubenpeiyuan decoction prepared by Tiehu, and began to adjust his breath to stabilize his state.
After another two days of this, Zhou Yang stopped meditating.
The effect of Yunzhong Zilan is not ordinary. In just three or two days, Zhou Yang's peak state of Lingtai has been completely stabilized.
There is only half a month until Zhou Tianzong's selection day. Zhou Yang must seize the time to practice and master a few more Taoist techniques, which will give him a better chance of winning in the competition.
The first is the Sky-piercing Sword Technique that he has been practicing since he was a child. He has reached the fourth level before, but due to his realm, he has never been able to break through to the fifth level, which is the level where the sword light leaves the body.
The second one is the Ten Thousand Miles Chasing Wind Technique. Because of the improvement in realm, breaking through to the second level is no longer a problem.
Moreover, when he was watching the competition, he also discovered the mysterious footwork performed by the elite disciples of Tianxing Sect. If he could learn it, the speed of his movement would be greatly increased by combining the two.
The third one is the newly obtained intermediate Taoist skill, the Light-grabbing Sword Technique. This technique should have been practiced at the early stage of Tianyuan, but the powerful seniors of the Tianxing Sect have improved it, and even Lingpin cultivators can barely practice it.
The fourth is the proficiency in the cloud shuttle.
The fifth one is the golden finger.
The above five are the most necessary for close combat, but in order of priority, it is estimated that the Sky-piercing Sword Technique and the Control of the Cloud Shuttle are relatively simple, because the former is a Taoist practice that has been practiced for many years, and the latter has been experienced by myself, so It's a little easier to master.
The other two require some effort, and I don’t know if they can be learned within half a month.
Jin Guang pointed out that he had practiced before, but he gave up halfway because of state issues.
Now that I have broken through to the peak of Lingtai, it is no longer a problem to achieve it. However, this requires a process and the time will not be too short.
But what he lacks now is time, so this technique can only be practiced later.
As for that kind of mysterious footwork, it depends on whether your own sect's contribution value is enough.
Although three thousand points seemed like a lot, he understood that it would be okay if he replaced some magic weapons and pills, but Taoism and Taoism were the foundation of a sect and would never be shown to others easily, and the required contribution would be extremely high. Big numbers.
"By the way, I still haven't checked the jade slip given to me by the great elder. I wonder if it's a cultivation experience." Thinking of this, Zhou Yang sank his consciousness into the storage bag and quickly found the jade slip.
"To break through Tianyuan, the first step is to understand the way of heaven. The way of heaven is impermanent and cannot be done by human beings. The way of heaven is permanent and cannot be understood by human beings. Whether it goes with it or goes against it is determined by the heart. The mind and spirit are united, and things and self are forgotten. Fire is also fire, water is It belongs to non-water. However, those with Tianyuan feel the way of Heaven and become Yuan, and realize one of them."
The opening chapter of the jade slip contains the reflections on breaking through the realm of Tianyuan. However, Zhou Yang has also seen these contents in some classics. They are extremely general things. They are an overview of the realm of Tianyuan and have no reference significance.
He couldn't help but frown. This was no cultivation experience. It was something that could be bought on the street.
But would the dignified elder use a book on the market to fool him? Probably not.
So despite being a little disappointed with the beginning, he still looked down.
"The way of heaven is natural. The five elements are born and then multiply. Those who practice words and practices are going against nature, which is not always the case. What is going against it? Those who know deeply begin to go against it, and knowledge is gained through enlightenment. Where does the theory of the five elements come from? It is also through enlightenment. ." After the jade slip, the conversation changed and she began to explain the way of heaven.
Practitioners go against heaven in order to break their own shackles and break through the limitations of longevity. This is a truth that everyone understands.
But Li Fengyun believes that it is precisely because of the depth of knowledge that he can act against nature. If you don’t know, how can you go against it?
In other words, if you don’t understand a thing very well, how can you talk about it?
All things are thought out by people, and thinking is enlightenment.
Why is it called Five Elements instead of Six Elements and Eight Elements? This is also because the conclusion reached through enlightenment is that there are only five elements, not six or eight elements.
The way of heaven is natural, but there are also laws to be found. As long as you understand the laws, you can recognize the rules of a certain attribute. This is to understand the way of heaven.
"Yes, the way of heaven is natural. If you see it first, you will understand it. If you follow it first and then go against it, then Tianyuan is the beginning of understanding the way of heaven." Zhou Yang had a deep understanding after reading this passage.
Every time he breaks through a level, he does not just pursue speed, but follows the natural way. As long as he accumulates enough, he will be able to break through naturally.
Forcibly improving one's cultivation level is not a matter of nature, but rather encouraging the growth of the seedlings.
Yes, it seems that this is exactly what the great elder thinks.
Zhou Yang corroborated his experience with what the Great Elder said, and couldn't help but nodded secretly, knowing that he had not deviated from the direction, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
However, it is still too early for him to understand the way of heaven. His understanding of the way of heaven is still deep enough, but it is still far away.
Although he has been good at thinking and figuring out since he started practicing, and when he bought the Yebai Spirit Fruit, he also had some understanding of the rules and regulations, but after all, his training time is still short, and the precipitation and accumulation are not enough, and he still needs a lot of time. Realization over a long period of time.
Another point is that he originally had a metal constitution, but it is unknown whether it was because of taking the Fire Spirit Pill, but now he has a metal-type fire constitution.
According to the classics, one should understand the metal in the five elements. As long as there is a slight breakthrough in the understanding of gold, then one can reach the realm of Tianyuan.
But somehow, he understands fire much better than gold.
Could it be that the current cultivation system can only realize one of them? If this is the case, he would rather understand some of the rules of the fire attribute first.
So what is the sign of breaking through Tianyuan?
A few sentences in the jade slip made Zhou Yang a little confused: "The five elements are planted in it, the heavenly essence is contained in it, and the divine sea is formed. The souls are all powerful and exist outside the body."
These few words should be the sign of breaking through to the Tianyuan realm, as well as the magical powers and benefits gained after the breakthrough.
However, he had just reached the peak of Lingtai, so naturally he didn't quite understand these words, which were somewhat specious.
These things are still some distance away from Zhou Yang, and there is no result in trying to figure them out now. Just know that this jade slip is really the cultivation experience of the great elder.
The second jade slip appeared in his hand, this was the Jade Slip of Lian Guang Jian Dao.
The Light Sword is the abbreviation of the Light Splitting Sword. This technique was originally a form of spiritual power. It requires you to reach the early stage of Tianyuan before you can practice it. However, if you want to achieve success, you need to reach the middle stage of Tianyuan.
However, Master Mingyu, the third generation head of the Tianxing Sect, obtained this technique and after decades of speculation, he generalized it to the point where anyone who has reached the peak of Lingtai can practice it.
Since he is called a real person, he is naturally a master of the golden elixir.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible to create or modify Taoism and Taoism as long as there is a realm below the fake elixir.
Therefore, Master Mingyu is a true master of the golden elixir, and his strength is extraordinary. What is even more commendable is that this senior is still a woman.
For thousands of years since the Tianxing Sect was founded, this woman has been a legendary figure.
It is said that this woman finally reached the realm of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, her cultivation reached the sky, her strength was extraordinary, and she was considered a well-known figure in the northern part of Hezhou.
When Master Mingyu was the leader, the Tianxing Sect was far from what it is today. It was the overlord of the ten cities in the far north of Hezhou, and other sects had to look up to the Tianxing Sect.
But after Mingyu's death, there has never been a master above the late Jindan stage in the Tianxing Sect.
Even later, not even a golden elixir appeared, and it could only fall from a super first-rate sect to the current second-rate sect, and it had to rely on Zhou Tianzong to survive.
Zhou Yang saw this not-so-secret secret in the outer pavilion of Cangshuge Pavilion, and he was also filled with sighs at that time.
No matter how powerful a sect is, there will be times when it declines. When it is extremely prosperous, it will decline, and when it is extremely weak, it will become strong. This is the way of heaven where everything must be reversed.
After sighing a few more times, Zhou Yang continued to watch the detailed introduction of the Glazing Sword Technique.
The Glimpse Light Splitting Sword is based on the spiritual light of the cultivator, slightly changes it, and uses the spiritual light as a sword to fight the enemy.
But the sword transformed by the aura does not have the shape of a sword. It just breaks the aura into several strands and turns them into sword shadows to fight against the enemy.
The sword cut off by the aura is extremely fast, seems to exist and seems to be non-existent, seems to be an illusion and seems to be real, and its power is much greater than that of the aura.
