Gu Zhan immediately understood what those beads were. They were the media used by the world of cultivation to pass down secret manuals. They were the same as the jade slips used in martial arts. However, the beads in the world of cultivation were relatively more advanced. With restrictions, people with low cultivation levels have no way of knowing what is inside. If they are not careful, they may trigger the restrictions and directly cause the transfer pill to self-destruct.
This is no wonder why no one has found a real inheritance in the world of cultivation for thousands of years, and they can barely find a small inheritance in bulk, and it is not easy. Even if there is an inheritance scattered in the world, it will be lost because no one knows how to open it. Covered in dust, it slowly disappeared without replenishing spiritual energy for a long time.
After knowing that these beads were inherited and preserved, Gu Zhan immediately became excited and began to test them one by one.
The total number of transfer pills left behind by these three people is dozens.
It took Gu Zhan a whole day and night to test the dozens of transfer pills.
Most of them are ordinary spells, and there are four or five skills. However, the level is not as high as the Supreme Immortal Skill he got from Linghu Cave before. The most can be cultivated to the sixth level of the golden elixir, which is comparable to the seventh level of Nirvana. , and his Changchun Gong can be cultivated to the ninth state of Nirvana.
Gu Zhan was not very interested in these techniques.
However, among those transfer pills, he found several treasures, including two high-level treasures.
However, what surprised Gu Zhan the most was that he found a spell called "Dayan Technique". After system testing, it turned out to be a spell that surpassed high-level magic:
Spell: Dayan
Level: Elementary Forbidden Technique
Can be converted into martial arts
…
Gu Zhan did not hesitate and immediately chose to transform:
[Use 5 billion experience points]
[Dayan Shu was successfully deduced into martial arts skills]
Diamond Seal: Use the evil spirit for your own use, turn the energy and blood into a seal, hold down the mountains and fill the sea, it can stimulate the will of martial arts, and become stronger when encountering strength.
…
Looking at the annotation of the Vajra Seal,
Gu Zhan smiled helplessly. He didn't know whether it was a coincidence or the system deliberately deduced based on his own situation. The martial arts he had deduced during this period were all domineering and powerful martial arts.
The Elephant Armor Technique, the Cangtian Mahamudra, and this Vajra Seal are all domineering and fierce martial arts, and they continue to confirm what he said,
Close combat, invincible in martial arts!
[Use 2 billion experience points]
[King Kong Seal upgraded to entry level]
[Use 3 billion experience points]
[The Diamond Seal is upgraded to Xiaocheng level]
[Use 5 billion experience points]
[The Diamond Seal is upgraded to the Dacheng Realm]
In an instant,
Gu Zhan spent 10 billion experience points to directly practice a preliminary forbidden technique to the level of Dacheng, and mastered a powerful martial skill.
Through the previous system annotations, he understood that the cultivation of this forbidden technique was very difficult, many times higher than the treasure technique. It was probably for this reason that the three golden elixir monks he killed did not practice it, or did not succeed in it.
Immediately, Gu Zhan glanced at the system page:
Player: Gu Zhan
Realm: the second realm of Nirvana
Title: Pioneer of Martial Arts
Note: 1. Wearing the title of Martial Arts Pioneer will gain the ability to deduce skills. You only need to use experience points to deduce skills in the same realm.
2. Wearing the title of Martial Arts Pioneer will gain the ability to be invincible in Martial Arts and become stronger when encountering strong ones. The pinnacle of Martial Arts is created by me and becomes invincible by me.
Kung Fu: Changchun Kung Fu (Eighth Level 0/2 Hundred Billion)
Skill:
Diamond Seal (Dacheng)
Elephant Armor Skill (Dacheng)
Heavenly Mahamudra (Dacheng)
Experience value: 2.5 billion
………
After upgrading the Diamond Seal, Gu Zhan began to study the things in Huang Longzi's space ring.
What made Gu Zhan a little disappointed was that he didn't find any rare treasures. They were basically spiritual weapons. However, although Gu Zhan didn't know whether these spiritual weapons were divided into grades, none of them had the same energy. It can be compared with the lotus Buddha seal he snatched from the old monk Hui Chan, and it is very far behind.
Gu Zhan had some guesses in his mind.
In the past, Huang Longzi and the others always called themselves small families. This may not be because they are modest, but because their heritage is not deep. In addition, they may have left valuable treasures in the barrier.
However, the second possibility is very low. Unless it is a treasure that cannot be taken away, from the mentality of a practitioner, the safest place is definitely on one's own body.
Of course, Gu Zhan was not too disappointed.
Because of his extraordinary talent, he has never needed to rely on external things in his practice so far. It all depends on his hard work and hard work!
…
After staying in the secret room for two days and two nights, Gu Zhan walked out.
When he came to the manor,
I saw Kou Baimen and Jian Yi leading a large group of people to study the bamboo slips. It seemed that these people were analyzing them day and night.
When he saw Gu Zhan coming out, Kou Baimen hurriedly came over, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, you have sorted out a lot of things."
Gu Zhan slowly sat on the chair and said, "Let's talk about it."
Kou Baimen looked a little excited and said: "Your Majesty, now there is the best news. Although the spiritual energy is beginning to recover now, those cultivation sects, those immortal sects we mentioned before, are indeed slowly starting to recover, but , we still have a lot of time to plan, so that martial arts can compete with the cultivation system in the world of spiritual energy recovery!"
Gu Zhan slowly took a sip of tea and listened quietly.
Kou Baimen continued: "There are many things recorded in the documents of Tianxing Cave. They were recorded by the first generation of monks who entered the barrier, just to let future generations know what is going on outside the barrier. , and the things that each generation of people have deduced, they are worried about losing the inheritance. This actually makes it easier for us, and we can know a lot of information.
From the records of the first generation of people who entered the barrier in Tianxing Cave, we can know that in our time, it was ten thousand years ago. This world was originally a great spiritual world, very vast, but later, the world became vast. Changes ushered in the Age of Ending Dharma, spiritual energy collapsed crazily, and the world of cultivation had a premonition of a disaster coming.
How exactly did the disaster come about? This Tianxing Cave was only a third-rate sect at that time, and they were not qualified to know. They could not find any records. They only knew that after the spiritual energy began to collapse, the world of cultivation was in chaos. However, The real catastrophe in the world of cultivation lies behind. The three major ancestral lines in the human world sent a message to the world of cultivation.
These three ancestral lines are the three most powerful cultivators in the world. They claim that the collapse of spiritual energy is a catastrophe, and the world will recover one day, allowing all cultivators to enter the barrier to avoid disaster. As long as the darkness dissipates, When it is exhausted, the spiritual energy will be revived. "
Gu Zhan put down his teacup and asked, "Where did this barrier come from?"
"The heaven and earth are created," Kou Baimen said: "This barrier is the legendary Cave Heaven Paradise. It is a small world hidden outside the world. It has different rules from the big world.
The most obvious manifestation is that the time is different. I know from the records in Tianxing Cave that they have only spent less than 6,000 years in the barrier, while our outside world has spent more than 10,000 years. Year. "
Kou Baimen pondered for a while and continued: "After the end of the Dharma Age, the small cave sky barrier became a refuge for monks. Because the spiritual energy continued to dissipate, the monks were polluted by the vitality of heaven and earth, and were subject to various restrictions, and even their cultivation level regressed. As a result, a bloody turmoil broke out in the world of cultivation, with all forces vying for resources to bring into the Small Cave Heaven Barrier to survive the Age of Ending Law."
Gu Zhan asked: "That turmoil in the world of cultivation lasted a long time, right?"
Kou Baimen nodded and said: "Nature is not short-lived. Those with strong forces naturally escaped early. However, small forces like Tianxing Cave are different from casual cultivators. They have no foundation and can only seek shelter everywhere. Therefore, this Tianxing Cave found a barrier after more than three hundred years of catastrophe, so naturally it is not a good cave heaven paradise."
Hearing this,
Gu Zhan probably understood why there was a gap in cultivation in the human world.
There are three reasons. First, the world of cultivation has been avoiding disasters, and most of the inheritance has been taken away. Second, the world of cultivation has been in turmoil for who knows how many years, and the human world will inevitably suffer various disasters. Third, it is the Age of Ending Dharma. Even if some people The inheritance was still preserved, but it had no effect at all in the thousands of years since the end of the Dharma, and it gradually became fake.
Gu Zhan thought for a while and asked, "I have a question. Since Tianxing Cave has survived in the Small Cave Heaven Barrier for nearly six thousand years, why is the strongest monk still only the Golden Pill?"
"Hehe," Kou Baimen chuckled and said, "The rules of Cave Heaven Paradise are different from those of the outside world. Some days are as long as a month or even a few months in the human world. In some cases, it is a year in the human world. They can't tell it until it passes. Ten days and a half month, this shows that Dongtian Paradise cannot be called a world at all, and its resources must be limited.
For example, Tianxing Cave, a small enchanted cave, is not only scarce in resources, it can be said to be barren. It has only two advantages. One is that the flow of time is slower, and the other is that it can isolate the vitality of heaven and earth after being closed.
Cultivators are different from us warriors. The vitality of heaven and earth is poison to them. They hide in the small cave and sky barrier just to avoid being contaminated by the vitality of heaven and earth.
However, the spiritual energy in the Xiaodongtian Barrier is precious and scarce, and they cannot produce it themselves. To survive, they have to rely on their own accumulated resources. The original spiritual energy in the Tianxingdong Barrier has been reduced in just a few years after the first generation of monks entered. After it is used up, if you want to practice and maintain your cultivation in the future, you can only use things like spiritual stones and elixirs to maintain it.
The Tianxing Cave generation can have three golden elixirs because they did it deliberately. Their ancestors had set a rule that each generation of monks could not have more than ten people, and their cultivation level could not be below the cave heaven realm, that is, the highest level could only be practiced The divine realm ensures that the inheritance and Tianxing Cave can still transcend the outside world and rule the mortals in the barrier.
In this case, they relied on their foundation to maintain their strength until now. It was not until two or three hundred years ago that they sensed that there was faint spiritual energy in the world, and they resumed their practice from Huang Longzi's generation, waiting for the spiritual energy to revive. After returning to the human world, they spent most of the resources they had left over thousands of years to pile up three golden elixirs. "
Gu Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "So, so the Baiyun fairy boy said before that they had three hundred monks, and also said that he was relatively weak. Was he trying to scare me?"
Kou Baimen chuckled lightly and said, "That's true. According to the records in the Tianxing Cave documents, the current Tianxing Cave resources are simply not enough to train three hundred monks."
Gu Zhan nodded and said: "However, this Tianxingdong is just a second- and third-rate small force. It is so weak because of its insufficient background. Those powerful forces, such as the three major ancestral lines you mentioned, control the best small forces. Cave Heaven Barrier, according to the speed of time you mentioned, although tens of thousands of years have passed in the human world, it is very likely that they have only experienced a few hundred years.
And their small cave sky barrier is very rich, and the spiritual energy may still be sufficient now. What's more, they still have a profound foundation, and their current strength is definitely no different from when they took refuge. Once they come out, they will determine the rules of the world. , why do you say we still have time? "
Kou Baimen said: "The prince doesn't know something, they can't come out at all, they even dare not come out."
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Kou Baimen continued: "According to the records of Tianxing Cave, in order to completely avoid the vitality of heaven and earth, all forces set up restrictions after entering the barrier. People outside could not enter, and people inside could not get out. The more powerful they were, the more powerful they were." The stronger the force, the stronger their seal and prohibition, and the less likely they will be eroded by the vitality of heaven and earth.
My lord, this time the Tianxing Cave appeared, it was not entirely because the spiritual energy revived that they appeared, but because the vitality of heaven and earth corroded the restrictions, causing their restrictions to be loosened. At this time, there was a surge of spiritual energy, so the restrictions were directly broken. It opened, breaking the barrier and causing them to appear in the world. The real normal world should be after the spiritual energy is revived, the purity of the spiritual energy in the outside world reaches perfection, and the restriction is opened. This is the normal world. "
Gu Zhan frowned slightly and said: "You mean, the restriction of the barrier is equivalent to a lock, and the spiritual energy is the key that will automatically open the lock!"
"Yes," Kou Baimen said: "However, the background of each force is different, and the locks are good and bad. Some can withstand the erosion of the vitality of heaven and earth. They will not be opened until the spiritual energy is fully recovered. , some are unable to withstand it and are damaged by erosion, it only takes a little bit of spiritual energy to open it!”
Gu Zhan said doubtfully: "So, some of the immortal sect forces that are not as good as Tianxing Cave may have appeared in the world a long time ago."
Kou Baimen thought for a while and said: "It should be like this. The reason why there has been no trace may be that almost no one can survive, because the vitality of heaven and earth is poison. According to the records of Tianxing Cave, if the cultivator has no trace at all, If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is in the vitality, or if the spiritual energy is thin, no matter how strong the cultivation level is, it will be directly eroded to death. The lower the strength, the weaker the ability to resist the vitality of heaven and earth. And those immortal sects that have appeared in the world for a long time must be strong. It won’t be too strong. The time of appearance is the time of extinction.
As for ordinary people, it is just immediate physical death. However, I don't quite understand this record, because before the spiritual energy is revived, there are still countless people in the world, and there are still cave monks. "
Gu Zhan smiled slightly and said, "I can explain this."
"Please give me some advice, Your Majesty." Kou Baimen said.
Gu Zhan took a sip of tea and said: "It took many years, hundreds or even thousands of years for the spiritual energy to dissipate to the end of the Dharma era. It dissipated step by step. The vitality of heaven and earth invaded the human world step by step. At this stage, people have gradually Start to slowly adapt to the new environment,
Generation after generation, at the end of the Dharma Age, people at that time had adapted to an environment where there was no spiritual energy but only the vitality of heaven and earth.
The recovery of spiritual energy does not come in a day or two. More than two thousand years ago, the first cave heaven monk was born. However, the condition for his birth was the spirit gathering array, which condensed spiritual energy in the vitality of heaven and earth, which means , starting from that time, the spiritual energy had already begun to recover.
There are more and more Dongtian monks in the later eras, which means that the spiritual energy is increasing step by step, and the Dongtian monks are getting stronger and stronger. However, there was a brief pause a few decades ago, that is, before the outbreak. The tranquility caused another gap in spiritual energy, forcing Wei Wuya to find other ways to break through the cave.
The Buddhist sect should know that the spiritual energy is about to be revived, so it has no interest in Wei Wuya's method of becoming a demon and breaking through the cave. In this era, the second sect of Buddhism still has five realms of cave, and these are the monks who have reached the golden elixir realm at the last step. It proves that spiritual energy has always existed, but it has not grown as fast as it does now.
There is a certain difference in that the monks who have converted from martial arts to cultivation and reached the cave are different from the monks in the barrier. They have grown step by step from the vitality of heaven and earth. Although they are also taboo about the vitality of heaven and earth, but, It won't kill you if you touch it, but it will be very limited and will lead to a decline in cultivation over time. "
Kou Baimen suddenly said: "I understand, so spiritual energy began to reappear in the human world more than two thousand years ago, and therefore, one after another, those forces with poor foundation or small cave heaven enchantments of casual cultivators were advanced in advance. Open it, but at that time, the spiritual energy in the vitality of heaven and earth was very, very thin, and it was immediately extinct, so there was no trace left."
Gu Zhan shook his head and said: "It's not that there are no traces at all. There have been legends about immortals and gods in the world for thousands of years. Especially in the past two thousand years, there have been more and more such legends. Maybe it's Some cultivators barely survived for a while and left behind legends, such as the fairy fox that the ancestor of the Gu family encountered to guide the way!"
At this time, Jian Yi suddenly came over and said: "Lord, I also know something. It is very likely that it is what you said."
Gu Zhan signaled Jianyi to continue.
Jian Yi arched his hands and said: "When I was a swordsman in Sword King City, I once heard a legend that Sword King City descended from the sky. More than a thousand years ago, Sword King City was originally just an ordinary mountain. There are many mountains, palaces, training grounds, etc., including the Sword Tomb in Sword King City. It is said that the ancestors of Sword King City discovered tens of thousands of magical weapons in the sword tomb at that time, but all of them turned into ordinary weapons overnight. Weapons, so it’s called the Sword Tomb!”
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "If this legend is true, then Sword King Mountain was probably a small Dongtian barrier before. However, the background was insufficient. Before the Dongtian appeared, all the people there were dead. , those magical weapons lost their little spirituality overnight because they were eroded by the vitality of heaven and earth."
Jian Yi pondered for a while and said: "I once went to Liangzhou Dao Pavilion to challenge the sword idiot Qin Hongyi, and I saw her divine sword. It is said that when she was born, the divine sword flew dozens of miles to identify it. Lord, this should be a spiritual sword left behind in a small cave."
Gu Zhan chuckled lightly and said: "For now, this is indeed good news. The world of cultivation cannot fully appear in the world immediately."
Kou Baimen said: "Although spiritual energy has begun to recover now, for those cultivators, it is still too little, and the vitality of heaven and earth is still very strong. That is poison. Some very powerful sects should be able to come out, but they They will not be willing to come out early. Those with high cultivation can barely resist the erosion of the vitality of heaven and earth, but those young disciples have no choice, and their inheritance will gradually lose their spirituality, which is not worth the loss for them!"
Gu Zhan nodded slightly and asked, "By the way, what are the three major ancestral bloodlines you just mentioned?"
Kou Baimen said hurriedly: "It is the most powerful tripartite cultivation system in the world. The ancestors of Tianxing Cave recorded it in detail, just to remind their descendants that if they step out of the barrier one day, they cannot provoke such forces.
There are many records in that volume of documents. The world is divided into four wastelands: southeast, northwest and northwest. The northern wasteland is the human world and the southern wasteland is the demon domain. These two wastelands have been enemies for generations. The western wasteland is said to be a barbarian land. There are people there. It is said that many races have completely different cultivation systems. As for Donghuang, there is only one name and no other records. In one sentence, the ancestors of Tianxing Cave only know one name.
The three major ancestral lines are the three major inheritances of human cultivation in the Northern Wilderness. Regardless of any sect, they are born out of these three major ancestral lines. One is Buddhism, the second is Taoism, and the third is Confucianism.
The specific strength of these three ancestral veins is not accessible to forces like Tianxing Cave, so there is no record. It only records that the three major ancestral veins and the four side sects control the world, and they cannot be provoked no matter what. "
Gu Zhan asked: "What are the four side doors?"
"It is said that there are four powerful sects, namely Shushan Sword Sect, Taiyin Talisman Sect, Danta, and Jingshen Valley," Kou Baimen said: "These four side sects are second only to the three major ancestral lines, regardless of whether they are Controlling the human world or resisting the demon clan all depend on them and the three major ancestral lines!"
Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly.
As expected, I underestimated Buddhism.
Not only did he underestimate it, he also didn't expect that Buddhism would be so powerful.
Gu Zhan pondered for a while and asked, "Where is the training system?"
Kou Baimen said: "The nine realms, the first four realms, are essence refining, qi refining, god refining, and cave heaven. Above these four realms are the middle three realms, and in these three realms, the three major ancestral lines are not It’s the same, but the ones widely recognized in the world of cultivation are Jindan, Yuanying, and the Immortal Gate, and the two realms above are called the lost Immortal Dao, and Tianxing Cave doesn’t have any relevant records.”
After that, Kou Baimen pondered for a while and said: "This is what we know about the world of cultivation so far. As for the other documents, they are some cultivation experiences and some knowledge and items in the world of cultivation, such as Huang Longzi's... Human space rings and flying swords are collectively referred to as spiritual weapons. There is no specific classification of levels, but there are strong and weak, and various functions are different. There are also elixirs and spiritual stones. Spiritual stones are common in the world of cultivation. currency."
Gu Zhan nodded slightly, stretched out his hand, sucked in a pile of compiled documents, and started browsing.
However, when Gu Zhan and others were exploring the world of cultivation by studying the documents in Tianxing Cave,
At this time, all the countries in the world have begun to be in chaos!
…
The spiritual energy revives, and the Immortal Sect comes to the world.
In a short period of time, many forces claiming to be immortal sects suddenly appeared. As soon as these forces appeared, they used a superior attitude to crush the Jianghu forces everywhere. Some directly suppressed the Jianghu forces and surrendered by massacre, and some used missionary methods. Manipulate people's hearts.
For a time, the world was in panic,
Jianghu forces and government officials everywhere were paralyzed.
Many Jianghu forces resisted and were massacred.
Among them, in just a few days, many major events occurred in the Xia Kingdom that shocked the world. The biggest event was the massacre of the Yijian Clan.
Qingzhou Yijianmen, one of the eight major sects of the Xia Kingdom, has a super force with two land gods. During the chaos in Qingzhou, it summoned the Qingzhou Jianghu to join forces to resist those immortal sect forces. Even the Qingzhou government sent a large army to support it.
However, when the martial arts conference was held,
A group of monks who claimed to be from a Taizhen sect, only a dozen of them, stepped on flying swords to directly kill tens of thousands of troops and people in the rivers and lakes. In full view of the public, they killed two land immortals from the Yijian sect with one sword. Then he directly attacked the Yijian Sect and destroyed the Jue Sect.
The entire Xia Kingdom was in an uproar.
Before the imperial court could respond, many immortal sects appeared one after another. Although the commotion was not as big as Qingzhou, almost all parts of the country were in complete chaos, and many Jianghu forces had taken refuge in those immortal sects. , some wanted to seize the opportunity, and some had no choice but to control even the government, which directly caused the court to lose control of many areas in a short period of time.
However, amid this chaos,
There are several places in Xia State that have maintained a certain degree of stability.
One is Xuzhou, one is Jizhou, and the other is Yunzhou.
According to rumors, there were also immortal sects born in Xuzhou, and three of them appeared at once. One of them preached to the world, while the other two directly massacred and suppressed the government.
The Xuzhou government and the Jianghu had no choice but to seek help from the Mingyue Island Ming Family, one of the eight sects of the Xia Kingdom. The Mingyue Island Ming Family was the most mysterious force in the Xia Kingdom, inheriting the Yu Dynasty dating back more than two thousand years. However, this The Ming family has never been involved in worldly affairs, living on Mingyue Island and not involved in the court affairs. However, it has always had a reputation, but it is not the greatest.
This time of chaos in Xianmen,
The Xuzhou government and Jianghu had no choice but to ask for help from the Ming family. To everyone's surprise, the Ming family actually agreed.
It is said that that day, a young woman from the Ming family walked out of the Ming family, wearing a ghost mask on her face, and walked hundreds of miles from Mingyue Island to the land. As soon as she landed, dozens of monks from the two major immortal sects came with swords. .
A piano appeared in the woman's hand and she played a song. When the song was finished, all the dozens of monks died. Then, the woman returned, and the crisis in Xuzhou on Mingyue Island was resolved. However, Mingyue Island still did not This world.
When the Ming family in Xuzhou shocked the world,
Immortal sects also appeared in Jizhou, and the number was considered to be the largest among the nine states in Xia Kingdom. Six immortal sects appeared at one time. However, just when a shadow was cast over the government and the world of Jizhou, that The six major immortal sects did not go around killing people or preaching like those in other states. Instead, they went to visit the Quzhao Kong family together.
The Quzhao Confucius family is one of the four great families in the world. Looking back to its origins, it is actually founded by Wen Sheng more than 1,500 years ago. It has gone through four dynasties and has been a leader in the literary world and one of the eight sects founded by Wen Sheng. He has a wonderful relationship with Jixia Academy and is also the leader of the Xia Kingdom's gentry.
The six immortal sects visited the Kong family, causing great panic.
At this time, a young man came out of the Kong family. He had an ancient book wrapped around his waist and was wearing a simple Confucian robe. He was very gentle and elegant. Facing hundreds of monks from the six immortal sects, he calmly read out a few words. A rule requires the six immortal sects not to disturb the people or carry out massacres.
What surprised everyone was that,
The Immortal Sect monk, who had always been arrogant, turned out to be respectful to the young man. No one refuted and agreed to the young man's request. Then he left and opened the gate in Jizhou.
This thing makes everyone in the world unbelievable.
Until one day, someone was shocked to discover,
The young man who walked out of the Confucius family that day was exactly the same as the literary sage who founded the Confucius family 1,500 years ago!
Suddenly, the news came out that the literary saint was not dead and had survived for thousands of years.
And just when these things were making a fuss,
Some people were surprised to find that when the world was in chaos,
Yunzhou, which had been experiencing constant turmoil in recent years, turned out to be calm and peaceful.
