For ordinary people to cultivate immortality, they must first generate a sea of qi. When the sea of qi is steaming and there is a faint sound of phoenixes, it is the first stage of phoenix. The waves are the strings, the sea is the harp, the strings move to form the sound, and the harp moves with the heart. This is the state of mind of the harp. The mind at this time is also called the world mind, which is a sign that a world is beginning to be born.
As the sea of qi and spiritual consciousness continue to develop, and the integration and understanding of the inner universe and the outer universe reach a certain level, the monks will gain the ability to fly, which means they will enter the Soaring Cloud Realm. High mountains began to appear in the air sea, the first, the second, and the third, which were the three stages of the Soaring Cloud Realm, until the three mountains were connected.
Finally, an energy body like the sun began to appear on the three mountains, and life began to appear in the sea of qi. At this time, we entered the Huiyang realm. Plants grow in the middle section of Huiyang Realm, and low-level animals appear in the upper section. At this time, a vibrant scene had already appeared within the Qi Sea.
The Qianyuan realm is the stage at the beginning of the great road. The Stairway to Heaven appears. Levels below 3333 are the initial section, levels below 6666 are the middle section, and levels below 9999 are the high section, until level 9999.
After entering the formless realm, the entire world in the sea of qi returns to formlessness and returns to nothingness. All living things disappear into the first stage, the sun disappears into the middle stage, and the mountains disappear into the high stage.
The only task of the Taiqing Realm is to reappear the ladder, but this time the ladder does not have 9999 levels, and because the number of ladder levels required for the heavenly palace to appear on the ladder of different monks is not consistent, the subdivision lines of the Taiqing Realm are not so clear. . According to the situation before the period of great destruction, basically monks can appear in the heavenly palace if they are below the thousandth level, and there are very few monks who can reach the thousandth level on the ladder to heaven.
This is how the inner universe changes during the process of cultivating immortals under normal circumstances. But when the original space collapsed, Xu Qian's sea of qi was also affected. Both the ladder to heaven and the sea of qi were all wiped out in that moment.
Everyone is familiar with dreams. In dreams, people are like a soul, observing everything with their first sight, but they seem not to be involved in the event, and they rarely see their own bodies. Many people can't even tell whether they see themselves in the dream as their first vision or third vision. It is an extremely mysterious feeling.
But now Xu Qian is as if he is in a dream.
He couldn't see his physical body, and everything around him was chaos and nothingness.
Here, there is no time and no space. This is the beginning of everything, even space and time do not exist.
There is no time, it doesn’t matter how long it takes. Without space, there would be no possibility for substantial objects to exist. But for some reason, Xu Qian knew what he was going through, even though no one told him. He had seen such a scene once after drinking Zhu Yi's cup of tea. The so-called big explosion was not an explosion in the usual sense. There was no fire or smoke. It was just an infinitesimal point moving faster than the speed of light. Get bigger, this is the big bang. Then, there was time, space, and even light. And he, like a bystander, was watching all this at an acceleration that was unknown hundreds of millions of times.
This time, he seemed to observe longer than last time, because this time he not only saw the appearance of planets, he even saw the appearance of an atmosphere on the planet.
Until this moment, he still had no idea of "why am I here" or "why are you showing me this". Everything was so natural, as if he should be here.
Deep in the vast universe, a pair of deep and profound eyes moved, "Is it him? Has he finally appeared?"
I don't know which world among the four worlds, a familiar figure to Xu Qian took a sip of coffee and took a puff of cigarette. "You're still here. Our bet should come to fruition this time."
When Xu Qian woke up, it was already ten days later.
This is the small wooden house where Qian Shu lives alone. These days, he has been lying on Qian Shu's bed.
"You're awake." Qianshu didn't have too many emotions when he discovered that Xu Qian had woken up. Everything was so plain and natural.
"I...you...you won't fight?" After waking up, he immediately remembered the previous scene.
"You'd better take a look at yourself first!" Qian Shu walked to the bed, "Your Qi Hai is gone."
Is the sea of qi exhausted?
To ordinary monks, these four words are like a doctor giving a death notice. They are definitely the most unacceptable bad news.
Xu Qian's reaction was that he was stunned for a long time. It wasn't that he didn't understand what it meant that the sea of qi was exhausted, or that he was frightened outright, but he had a very strange feeling, as if it was nothing if the sea of qi was exhausted. Big deal.
He looked inside himself and found that the original sea of qi was indeed gone. It disappeared completely, just like ordinary people, it seemed that the sea of qi had never appeared. But then, he discovered that there was a dark space inside his body, which he was sure had not existed before. When he took a closer look, his whole body was shaken, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.
It was a cosmic space, just like the real universe, or in other words, just like the universe after the big bang he saw in his dream.
When you become a Celestial Immortal through cultivation, the sea of Qi in your body will form a world. If you become a Celestial Immortal, the world in the Qi Sea will become more perfect and richer. Within the Qi Sea of every high-level immortal, there is a small world. Except for the inability to generate spiritual energy independently, everything is no different from the big world. But the sea of qi in Xu Qian's body disappeared, and it was replaced by a universe. This had never been heard of before!
"What...what's going on?"
"I don't know. Qinglong also said that he had never heard of it, but he said that it was all fate."
"It's fate again! It's not... you... have you reconciled?"
Qianshu was extremely helpless, "We are testing each other's depth, what are you doing to step in? With your skills, I'm lucky I didn't beat you to death."
"Testing? It's all spelled out like that. Are there any of you who are testing like this?" Xu Qian also felt aggrieved, "Where is Qinglong? Where is he?"
"I'm here!" Qinglong walked in from outside the house, still the young man in green who looked at everything calmly.
"Your Qi Sea was destroyed due to the collapse of the Yuan Space. If it had happened to others, they would have died long ago. But you are different. You cannot die. This is also the first time I have discovered that such a thing happened after your Qi Sea was destroyed. It’s a weird thing, but you don’t need to worry. According to my guess, it’s just another way of cultivation, and it’s not a big problem.”
Another way to practice? The more Xu Qian listened, the more confused he became.
"What do you mean? Is there another way to practice?"
Qinglong tilted his head, "I told you last time that the human body is too weak, so one must generate a sea of qi to practice. But you are different. Maybe you can find another way."
"Why am I different?" It's not like Xu Qian has never asked relevant questions, but Qinglong is very strict, either pretending not to hear, or using "fate" to deal with him.
"Let me tell you this, if there are two paths of cultivation in the world, then everyone is walking the same path, and the other path is only yours, and only you can walk it."
"Why?" Xu Qian thought of Zhu Yi's "Chosen One" and also remembered that Suzaku said he had to be the one. Come to think of it, Qinglong probably meant the same thing. Perhaps, he is the only awakening messenger.
"Why? You might as well ask yourself. I don't know myself, and there's no point in talking nonsense."
As expected, I still couldn't get any valuable information from Qinglong's mouth.
"Stop talking about me, you can always tell me what's going on with you!"
Qian Shu looked out the window without any emotion and had no intention of speaking. Qinglong saw that Qian Shu had no intention of stopping him, so he thought for a while and said, "It doesn't hurt to tell you this. You will know it sooner or later."
"Xuanwu, you have seen it, right?"
Xu Qian nodded, wondering why it was related to Xuanwu again?
"Have you ever understood the Xuanwu Pearl?"
"Xuanwu once said that he did some tricks on the Xuanwu Pearl back then. If he hadn't done it, no one would have found it."
Qinglong laughed loudly, "Xuanwu is too self-righteous. The Xuanwu Pearl is on her body!"
From a linguistic point of view, the word "he" can refer to anyone except the two people talking. But now there were only three people in the room. Qinglong also looked at Qianshu, and he already understood what he meant.
"Qianshu? Xuanwu Pearl?" Xu Qian had an expression of disbelief.
