Immortal cultivation can be divided into eight stages: Qi training, foundation building, elixir formation, Yuanying, transformation into gods, integration, Mahayana, and overcoming tribulations. If you successfully overcome tribulations, you can ascend to the immortal world.
Monks will not stay in the Tribulation Stage for too long, so the Mahayana Stage is the pinnacle of the human world, and the Integration Stage is only under the Mahayana Stage.
Even in the most prosperous era of immortality, the number of monks in the Fusion Stage would not exceed a hundred, which shows their high status.
When the Penglai Immortal Sect closed the mountain gate, the sect leader was just a monk in the transformation stage.
Thinking of this, the young man in white hurriedly kowtowed several times respectfully in the direction from which the sound came.
"Junior Mo Li is the current sect leader of Penglai Immortal Sect. I don't want to offend my senior, so I ask your forgiveness."
The other party was silent for a while and said: "Has Penglai Immortal Sect declined to this point? It seems that closing the mountain gate may not be the right choice."
"What senior said is absolutely true, but we also have our own difficulties. Dare I ask senior what your name is?" Li Li said cautiously.
"Have you ever heard of me, Qingxuan?" the other party said lightly.
"Qingxuan..." Li Li thought for a while and suddenly exclaimed: "Could it be the senior Qingxuanzi who once served as a guest in the Penglai Immortal Sect?"
"Yes, it's me."
Li Qiye breathed a long sigh of relief: "It turns out they are members of his own family."
Qingxuan snorted coldly: "Who is one of your family members? Penglai Guest House was a thousand years ago. I am now free. This is my territory now. Do you have any objections?"
Li Qiye hurriedly said: "No, no, senior, you are free to do whatever you want, but I don't understand why you allow these mortals to live here?"
"Hmph, do I need to explain to you?"
"No, no, but I still have a question, this junior. Since the spiritual energy has been withered for thousands of years and has only recently shown signs of recovery, how did you maintain your cultivation during the integration period?"
The current spiritual energy concentration inside the Penglai Immortal Sect barrier can only support the existence of the Nascent Soul stage at most.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the outside world is even lower. It's already amazing to be able to maintain the cultivation level of pill formation, let alone the integration period?
Thinking about it this way, it's really unbelievable.
Therefore, even if it might offend his senior, he still had to ask this question.
Qingxuan was silent for a while and said: "It's very simple. I abandoned my body and only retained my spirit. I spent most of my time sleeping, so I maintained my cultivation during the integration period."
Hearing this, Mo Li suddenly realized: "That's it."
It is true that this way you can maintain your cultivation level as much as possible without absorbing spiritual energy, but your strength is very poor and you lose the possibility of breakthrough. Very few people would choose this.
No matter what, even if it is just the remnant soul of a monk in the integration stage, he is not something he can deal with.
"Since this is senior's territory, I'll leave now."
After saying that, Li Qiye flew up again, planning to return to the inside of the barrier.
"Wait a minute."
Qingxuan stopped him.
Li Li was sweating profusely again: "Senior, do you have any other instructions?"
"Now that the spiritual energy has recovered, do you plan to resume your life?"
"That's right, when the concentration of external spiritual energy is higher, the barrier will disappear completely. I believe the same is true for other sects. It is not impossible for the immortal way to rise again."
Qingxuan snorted coldly: "It's not impossible to come out, but it's best to abide by the rules of mortals, otherwise even if I don't take action, someone will."
Hearing Qing Xuan say the same thing, Li Li finally did not dare to underestimate the so-called mortals anymore, and said with cupped hands: "Junior understands."
After saying that, he got into the white vortex and disappeared.
After a while, the white vortex completely dissipated.
With such a sudden appearance, everyone in Penglai was unable to focus on the virtual Taoist competition, and they all started talking about what happened just now.
"Although I don't know who Mo Li is, that Qingxuan should be Grandmaster Xiao, right? He is indeed the best at pretending to be a ghost in Penglai Martial Arts University. He can fool the opponent in just a few words."
The Grand Master Xiao known to everyone as Xiao Canghai, Xiao Haise's father, was sitting in a secret room at the moment, rubbing his eyebrows.
The empty conversation with Mo Li just now consumed a lot of his mental energy.
He looks young, but is actually over fifty years old, but in any case he cannot be the so-called powerful Qingxuan in the integration stage.
But he wasn't just talking nonsense.
Because he has a magical ability to read the information contained in certain things, such as cultural relics, relics, corpses, etc.
When he was swimming in the sea, he accidentally discovered a corpse. Although he didn't know how long it had been soaked in the sea, it was still lifelike.
Xiao Canghai tried to use his ability on the corpse, but was instantly knocked unconscious by the huge information. If it hadn't been washed ashore by the waves, he would have been buried in the sea.
After that, he became a little nagging. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was taken away from his body, which was somewhat similar to the situation of Bai Bing and Liu Xiaofeng.
But no matter what, he was able to become a Grandmaster while also possessing the foundation-building level. Those memories were of great help to him.
That's right, although the outside world thinks he is an ordinary grand master, in fact he is a dual practitioner of immortality and martial arts.
Because he has already reached the foundation-building stage, the Grand Master will have little effect on him, and he will also lose the ability to recover energy quickly.
If he really wanted to fight, he would never lose to any great master.
Penglai Martial Arts University was founded by him. The reason why he chose this place was because it was once the dojo of the Penglai Immortal Sect, and it had slightly more aura than other places.
The martial arts here are somewhat mixed with some elements of immortality. If the students are talented, they may be able to absorb a little spiritual energy. This makes the warriors in Penglai always a little strange, just like the great masters.
There have been signs of spiritual energy recovery recently, and Xiao Canghai has also felt it, because the bottleneck in his foundation-building period has been loosened. Although he has not broken through directly like Qiu Tong, he is almost there.
People from the Penglai Immortal Sect suddenly ran out, which really shocked him, so he had to pretend to be Qing Xuanzi to restrain him.
As for the pressure the other party felt, it actually did not come from him, but from the body of Qing Xuanzi he fished out from the sea.
As long as Xiao Canghai injects spiritual power into it, he can simulate the aura of the unique combination stage.
However, this method can deceive people for a while, but not forever.
"Oh, you still have to increase your strength as soon as possible."
In addition to the spiritual world that is about to reappear in the world, there is another thing that worries him, and that is his daughter's life event.
"You're almost thirty and you still can't find a partner. Is that ridiculous?"
Xiao Canghai urged repeatedly, but the other party just said that he had not found the right person.
"I think the Xiao Feng from before was pretty good, but unfortunately he's already engaged to the Jiang Yue Zhou family. The rest... can we only choose from Ximen and the new guy?" Xiao Canghai said thoughtfully.
