The realm of returning to the gods is divided into three parts. Beginning, middle and end.
As soon as the soul comes out, it returns to the soul, which is the initial stage.
When the primordial spirit appears Yang, it is the middle stage.
If the Yuan Shen solidifies Yang, it will be in the later stage.
Although in this way, every state change in the Guishen realm is distinguished by Yuan Shen, in fact, it is more derived from the understanding of "Tao", combined with the accumulation of spiritual energy, and finally reverses the improvement of the state and enhances Yuan Shen. God's growth.
Therefore, in cultivating the Tao, the most important thing is the word "Tao". The further you go, the more this happens, and even the breathing of spiritual energy is secondary. This is also the reason why there are elixirs, spiritual stones, and even living in the paradise of cave heaven, but they always practice for thousands of years. Reiki is not the focus, the focus is enlightenment.
But saying so much seems completely meaningless to Zhang Yan. Because none of his "Tao" was understood by him at the beginning. Now even if he is deliberately and actively comprehending it, 99% of the Tao he "enlightened" did not come from himself. It is a gift from this side of the wilderness.
So when Zhang Yan moved his four spiritual veins to the cliff mountain, he started to prepare things and retreat within two days of his return.
The Zhang family is no longer unfamiliar with Zhang Yan's retreat. Knowing that this is a method that will appear when his practice reaches a certain stage, it has the same meaning as those warriors who retreat to attack the realm. Even now, when I heard that Zhang Yan was going to retreat, I knew that this was because Zhang Yan had become more diligent in his practice.
A few magic circles completely covered the retreat. Nowadays, Zhang Yan's magic circle is no longer what it used to be. Even a Duanshan realm warrior or a ghost king-level ghost can't break it by force if it is thrown out. What's more, what he deployed was a defensive formation with a trapping formation that conformed to the magic formation, which added to its powerful power.
Therefore, except for He Xianghong who was more nervous than usual because he had to strengthen his defense, the rest of the family were more happy than nervous.
Especially the three kids. This was the first time in their lives that they survived alone in the wild for five days without an adult. This is definitely a huge mental improvement for them.
It is said that children from poor families become parents early. This does not mean that children from poor families are born to be sensible early, but that the external environment forces children from poor families to become sensible early and become masters early.
This is also Zhang Yan’s core idea for teaching students. You have to go through as much exercise as possible since you were a child. Otherwise, trouble may arise in the seemingly safe place in the Wild Sky Territory. For example, Xu Fengyang, whose identity was confirmed by Zhang Yan, and the Great Ghost King Wan Jiang were actually brothers, and they responded to requests. The most important thing is why should such tyrannical strength be hidden in the dark? And why?
It’s not safe!
But the three kids are also doing their best.
Needless to say, Liu Xin, this girl grew up through hard work, is extremely independent, has a tough character and a delicate mind, and is completely able to adapt to Zhang Yan's teaching methods. Needless to say, Wang Nian, the skinned monkey on Zhuangzi, has a rough skin and thick flesh, and also suffers from hardship. Even Yang Rui, who is well-dressed and well-fed, has a surprising gold-like character of sacrificing his life to save others.
I have to say that Zhang Yan’s three disciples have done really well. At least the endurance for accepting his teaching methods is definitely enough.
Even the previous five days and five nights of outdoor life did not feel unaccustomed to the three children at all. On the contrary, they regarded it as a pleasant outing.
Among them, the most outstanding performance is Yang Rui. He was born into a royal family and had a rich education. He even learned a thing or two about painting, and he easily drew every place they passed in the cliff mountain in the five days into a vivid map. Although I only visited a small part of the cliff mountain. But as for where the terrain is steep and where it is gentle, where there are ferocious beasts, where there are deep pools... everything is drawn and accompanied by text descriptions.
When Zhang Yan was in seclusion, the three children were quite busy. They gathered around, cooed and sometimes even argued. They were not fooling around, but they wanted to complete the homework assigned to them by Zhang Yan: think about what buildings should be built in the mountain gate and where they should be built.
On this issue, Liu Xin and Wang Nian basically could only provide ideas, and most of them had to be written by Yang Rui. After all, Yang Rui also lived in a big house like the palace. Even if he didn't understand, he could use his imagination to be much more reliable than Wang Nian and Liu Xin.
This is not Zhang Yan being lazy. It's impossible for Zhang Yan to really figure out the inside and outside of the mountain gate just by relying on three little kids. But the sense of participation is very important, and it involves the initial establishment of the mountain gate. If you participate at this time, you will never forget it for thousands of years. The sense of belonging also comes with it.
Sense of belonging, these three words are what Zhang Yan hopes to imprint as deeply as possible into the minds of the three disciples. After all, the character of these three disciples Yang Rui and Wang Nian has been demonstrated, and Zhang Yan is very satisfied. And Liu Xin's talent is indeed rare. He didn't even want to let go. After these three people officially enter the Xuanmai realm, they can officially become their disciples. At that time, they were the founding disciples of Zhenger Ba Jing. If he can't build a sense of belonging to Shanmen from the bottom of his heart, then it would be Zhang Yan's dereliction of duty as a teacher.
Of course, the three children will not think about Zhang Yan's intentions, but simply complete the homework given by Zhang Yan. For example, a large square should be built, and gatherings could be held there in the future, just like Fengtai Square in the palace. For example, if you want to build a quiet room...
After the kids discussed it for a day or two, they ran out of ideas. Because they have basically exhausted everything they can think of. I'm just waiting for my teacher Zhang Yan to comment after he comes out of isolation.
But after waiting for a full month and a half, Zhang Yan still didn't come out of seclusion.
In the past month and a half, the Zhang family has experienced an emotional transition from "settled" to "anxious". I thought it would be the same as before and I would be able to leave the customs in a few days. I didn't expect it to take so long this time. Even the three children who had absolute confidence in their teachers couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He Xianghong was quite calm about this. After all, although he was born a bandit, he had seen some of the world and heard about the deeds of some strong men. So he comforted the Zhang family and said: "Master, don't worry. The higher the strength, the more difficult it is for a strong person to break through, and the more time it takes. It even takes longer than this for some Duanshan realm warriors to break through. The master's strength is more than The Duanshan realm is stronger, so it’s normal to be unable to break through for the time being..."
But an abnormal situation soon appeared in the sky above Langyuan City.
Two more days passed. It was raining heavily that day, and even at noon it was as gloomy as the evening outside. However, Zhang Yan's hermitage in the backyard of the Zhang family's house is still closed, and no one can get close to it.

The Zhang family thought they would have to wait another day, but suddenly they felt a beam of light flickering down in the backyard, as bright as a sunny day after the rain. When they looked up, they only saw an opening in the middle of the rain clouds above their heads. . The sun was shining just right. At this time, except for the "golden window" above Zhang's house, the entire Langyuan City was still raining heavily...
