Countless people looked sideways to welcome the arrival of the female cultivators from Tianxuan Peak. Lin Yan, as the only man among them, naturally attracted the attention of countless people and was watched by many people. Some were envious and jealous, some were hateful and hostile, and some were curious. Puzzled.
Lin Yan was not nervous when being watched by so many people. He kept his eyes and nose in mind and faced it calmly.
The green-feathered phoenix-crested eagle slowly landed on the ground, blowing dust all over the ground. The women got off the ground, and Lin Yan followed the crowd and walked towards the center.
At the head of the Douxian Platform is the elder of the inner sect of the main peak of Fluctuating Light. He looks like the oldest person present. He has gray beard and hair, a bun, and a blue-grey robe. He looks like an ordinary person. He is an old Taoist priest, but his eyes are very bright and energetic. Looking from a distance, it makes people feel a strange feeling in their hearts, which is better than a copper bell.
"This is the great elder of the inner sect of Yaoguang Peak, Yang Yuzi. He has practiced Taoism for hundreds of years. He is a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment. He is also the oldest in the inner sect of Lingxiao Tianzong. Many elders, All the core disciples have worshiped him as their teacher, and he is a disciple all over the world." Yue Hua secretly transmitted a message to Lin Yan and other disciples who were participating in the Seven Peaks Competition for the first time, and introduced him.
Everyone in Tianxuan Peak walked up to the great elder, held the disciple seal with their hands, and bowed to the great elder.
"In the past few decades, Tianxuan Peak has produced many outstanding people who have become the pillars of the sect. Today, you all will show off to your heart's content, and you must not lose the face of Tianxuan Peak's leader." A kind smile appeared on the face of the great elder. He said to Yuehua.
"Yes!" Everyone saluted again, bowed from afar, and sat down near the Douxian Terrace.
Disciples from all the peaks were surrounded. Some famous people from the outer sect of the Seven Peaks were here. Some were in the top ten of each peak and came to participate in the Seven Peaks Competition. However, 99% of the people came to Yaoguang Peak to meet all the talented people. During the fighting, some family disciples also traveled around, making friends with the geniuses of various peaks, and getting closer to each other, hoping to cooperate in the future.
"Except for Tianji Peak and the farthest Tianshu Peak, the other four peaks are here." Yuehua glanced around and saw the people on the four peaks.
"I met a few people who made a splash three years ago." Hu Xianer frowned and saw a few familiar faces.
There are very few people like them who choose to suppress the realm and enter the inner gate without breaking through to the pneumatic stage, but there are a few who hope to cultivate to the peak level in this realm and then break through, hoping to go further in the future.
Such a person is undoubtedly powerful in combat, and even possesses the cultivation level to cross-level challenges. Of course, the gap between the Qi-refining realm and the pneumatic realm is too large, and there is almost no possibility of cross-level combat. This kind of cross-level battle can only be in the same realm.
This means that these people's combat power has reached its peak during the Qi refining period, and they are truly invincible under the influence of Qi.
"There are three people in Yaoguang Peak. It is said that they have become the registered disciples of the inner sect elders during the last competition. However, for some reason, they have not made a breakthrough until this competition." Maybe there is someone in the flesh area of Tianxuan Peak. vocal channel.
Dongfang Yao looked towards the area of the main peak of Yaoguang. There were already many people sitting there, including the ten people participating in the competition. She saw several familiar faces, all of whom were her opponents three years ago and competed with her on the same stage.
In the competition three years ago, Dongfang Yao won the first place in the Tianxuan Peak Competition, but in the Seven Peaks Competition, she only got the 11th place.
In other words, out of a total of seventy people in Qifeng, she could only be ranked eleventh.
The last time at the main peak of Yaoguang, four people entered the top ten of the competition, which shows how powerful the outer disciples of Yaoguang Peak are.
In recent years, two talented people have appeared in Tianxuan Peak, which has made Tianxuan Peak's reputation within the Lingxiao Tianzong also rise. However, this does not mean that Tianxuan Peak is the strongest among the seven peaks of the Lingxiao Tianzong. Before the rise of the two great talents Chu Aoxue and Ji Yanran, the main peak of Yaoguang Peak represented the strongest.
The first place in the Seven Peaks Competition, except for those two times, almost every time was the disciple of Yaoguang Peak!
"The four people from Yaoguang Peak who entered the top ten in the last competition, and two more, one was the third in the last competition, Ou Guangyuan, who is good at flying swords, and his physical strength is also very strong. It is said that he has been urinating since he was a child. Ou Guangyuan began to practice the secret body-refining techniques passed down by his family. With only his physical strength, Ou Guangyuan was able to compete with the so-called "extreme masters" among secular warriors. "
Dongfang Yao glanced at Lin Yan. Although Ou Guangyuan's physical strength was tyrannical, his physical strength was comparable to that of the master in front of him who could compete with the monks in the pneumatic stage.
Get up, not even a little bit worse. Of course, Dongfang Yao seemed to have guessed Lin Yan's idea of hiding his own strength. He seemed to want to hone himself and keep using spells to fight against the enemy. Therefore, in this state, Lin Yan might have to suffer a lot when facing Ou Guangyuan. suffering.
Perhaps the physical body is incomparable and he will not be defeated, but he should also be in a situation where the spell fails and he becomes a living target.
"The other one is the sixth in the last competition, named 'Liang Shou'. He uses various spells to attack flexibly. He is best at metallic and fire-attribute spells, and he is proficient in all kinds of tactics. In terms of difficulty, Ou Guang is far from comparable. "
"I have had the pleasure of seeing these two in action. They are indeed very strong. In this outer sect, they are almost invincible." Qi Huan frowned his slightly red eyebrows with a solemn expression.
"What's going on with these two? They could have broken through long ago, but they still occupy this position and don't give the newcomers a chance." Ji Zhidie frowned and muttered in a low voice.
"Junior Sister Ji's words are wrong." Dongfang Yao said with a smile, "Although these two people were among the top ten in the last competition and could have broken through long ago, they still suppressed their realm in order to cultivate in the realm of Qi refining. Practice to achieve true Dzogchen.”
"The real Dzogchen?" Ji Zhidie said in surprise.
"Yes, even if a qi refining monk has reached the tenth level of qi refining, he can try to break through the qi movement stage. Although the success rate is low, he can indeed try. Most monks will basically do it when they reach the tenth level of qi refining. When the mana accumulation is complete, they will try to break through the level. Only a few people can go further on this basis, such as us." Dongfang Yao said, "Many monks who want to achieve success in the immortal path in the future will practice Qi refining. At the tenth level, you can break through the suppression realm and continue to practice. At the same time, you will choose body refining techniques to improve your physical body. For example, I was able to break through three years ago, but I still haven’t made a breakthrough three years later. It’s because of this reason."
"But this is still not the end of the Qi refining period. Monks who have reached our level will further purify their magic power when improving their physique, allowing their magic power to reach the tenth level of Qi refining. This step is to transform ordinary monks into The first step to completely separate from the Tianjiao cultivator! It is said that the former Senior Sister Ji and the Senior Sister Chu Aoxue Chu took this step."
"Then this step is too difficult." Qi Huan said in surprise. Lingxiao Tianzong is known as the first sect among the giants, but only two people were born. This shows how difficult it is.
Dongfang Yao shook his head and said: "This step is not too difficult, it just takes time. This realm goes beyond the tenth level of Qi refining, but it does not reach the Qi movement stage, or even half a step of Qi movement. Therefore, some people also call this state It is the "extreme realm". The so-called genius is one who has reached the extreme level in every major realm, but this step is too difficult. It is not difficult to reach the extreme level in one realm, but if you want to reach the extreme level in all realms, then It is as difficult as climbing to heaven. "
"Extreme Realm..." Lin Yan remembered the description in Ji Yanran's jade slip. This level is very extraordinary. Beyond the realm itself, it is not just an improvement in strength, but more of a 'underlying'.
For example, a monk who reached the tenth level of Qi refining during the Qi refining period had an accident when he broke through the Qi dynamic stage and failed. However, his strength greatly exceeded that of the Qi refining stage, but there was still some distance between him and the Qi dynamic stage. For example, when the secular world encountered The two people from the Yin Puppet Sect who arrived after swallowing the Blood God Pill reached this state, which is called "half-step Qi movement". However, the extreme state is different. They have also surpassed the Qi refining stage. The strength of the extreme state is incomparable. The first half-step pneumatic movement, but in terms of accumulation of "understanding", it far exceeds the half-step pneumatic movement, which will highlight its advantages in future practice.
The most easy-to-understand difference is that in the Qi Dynasty stage, monks who have mastered the ultimate level of Qi refining will be 20 to 30% faster than monks who have reached more than half a step of Qi Dynasty.
It’s just that the extreme state is too difficult to reach. This is a Taoist state. To reach this state, you not only need hard work and patience, but also need to understand the "Dao".
The legendary ancient prodigy who surpassed his disciples of the same generation achieved success in this realm, reaching the "extreme realm" level in at least two realms.
Dongfang Yao had been dormant for three years and was not in a hurry to break through. It was not just to participate in the outer sect competition and obtain the red blood python, but also had the idea of breaking through to the extreme realm of Qi refining.
"Sure enough, they are two different avenues, with essential differences." Lin Yan compared the two avenues in his mind and discovered many differences.
same, hoping to integrate with each other.
Martial arts cultivation attaches great importance to oneself. Therefore, both the acquired and innate realms attach great importance to the accumulation of true energy. The cultivation of the physical body only requires "enlightenment" starting from the martial arts realm. However, immortal cultivators need to understand the Tao at the beginning of the qi refining period. No matter what kind of spell it is, it needs to be understood to a certain level before it can be cast. In order to be able to exert stronger power, the monk himself needs to have a stronger understanding of spells of this attribute.
At the beginning of this step, "enlightenment" is required. Therefore, many monks with low qualifications may not be able to break through to a small realm after spending decades in their lives, just like Taoist Lu Zhan and the Yin Puppet Sect in the secular world. A disciple who is unable to break through and needs the help of the Blood God Pill.
"These two people were very strong three years ago. Now they are pursuing the extreme realm. Their strength must be stronger than three years ago. I don't know what level they are in the extreme realm now." Dongfang Yao looked at the two people and fought. The meaning is awe-inspiring.
