323 Sixteen-character mantra
Su Chen was in seclusion for several days in the stone chamber cave in the nameless deserted island, adjusting his body to the best state, his heart was as calm as water, without any surprise or joy.
Then he took out the first mysterious spiritual fruit from Lingshan and took it orally. It was exactly the same as the spiritual fruit I had eaten before. After this mysterious spiritual fruit entered the abdomen, it quickly turned into a torrent of vitality that was surging like a big wave, rushing through the meridians in his body, trying to rush into the sea of consciousness in the upper dantian.
However, Su Chen did not directly use the huge stream of energy released by this mysterious spiritual fruit to condense the golden elixir. He had long closed the narrow entrance to the upper dantian to the sea of consciousness, and held the surging and strong energy in his body.
These extremely precious torrents of vital energy have nowhere to go, and can only stay in the body, penetrate into every tiny bone marrow, meridians, and flesh of the body, and use rich vital energy to nourish and temper the body.
Use strong vitality to temper the body, nourish and temper the body to the extreme.
The so-called golden elixir realm of immortal cultivators is certainly the elixir of the soul.
However, the classics of the Middle Earth cultivation world still record the saying "the flesh becomes a saint" circulating.
In the library of Penglai Immortal Sect, Su Chen carefully read the vast sea of immortal cultivation books of Penglai Immortal Sect. Many of the treasure books for immortal cultivation records the sixteen-character immortal cultivation mantras.
"Refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, refining emptiness into Taoism."
This sixteen-character mantra is widely circulated in the Middle Earth Immortal Cultivation World. There is no secret. All humans, demons, ghosts and spirits can practice according to this sixteen-character mantra.
However, over the countless years, the immortal cultivators in Central China have spent their entire lives interpreting the sixteen-character mantra, but they have left behind countless immortal scriptures like vast stars. They are the magic tricks, secret techniques and experiences of enlightenment from major immortal sects. Only disciples of this sect can watch and practice them.
"Essence, body."
"Qi, vital energy."
"The god is also the soul. There are also books on cultivating immortals, which interprets it as the realm of "transforming gods", which is the highest level of early cultivation."
"Xu is a great hill, also known as void, and is collectively called heaven and earth. Refining emptiness and reaching the limit of the realm of heaven and earth is the Mahayana realm."
"Together with the Tao, we will overcome the cause and effect, overcome the tribulation, and achieve the Tao Feixian."
These are some simple interpretations of the sixteen-character mantra.
Of course, different immortal scriptures also have different understandings and interpretations of the connotation of these sixteen-character mantras.
However, all the immortal sects, large and small, interpret and practice in detail based on these sixteen-character mantras, and each word can interpret the vast books of tens of millions of words.
According to these sixteen-character mantras, they are divided into eight major realms, namely: Qi Refining Period, Foundation Establishing Period, Golden Elixir Period, Nascent Soul Period, God Transformation Period, Mahayana Period, Tribulation Period, Ascension to Become an Immortal.
The first five realms of "refining Qi, building foundation, golden elixir, nascent infancy, and transforming into gods" are based on the first eight-character mantras of "refining essence into qi, refining Qi into gods", which is relatively easy to achieve. The five great immortal sects in the Middle Earth cultivation world have been recorded for eternity, and many senior monks with names have practiced.
As for the later "Mahayana" realm, it is a general summary of the four-character mantra of "refining the spirit and returning to emptiness". Mahayana monks are just some distant ancient legends and have never left their surnames.
It’s not that there have been no immortal cultivators, but that most of them have left this immortal cultivator world, so few people have heard of their traces of immortal traces.
The realm of "passing the tribulation" and the final realm of "ascending to become an immortal" are interpretations of "refining the emptiness and combining the Tao".
There are also records of tribulation and ascension into immortals in the classics of Penglai Immortal Sect. Most of them are limited to theoretical research and speculation, and there are almost no reference cases to follow.
Moreover, even if you ascend to become an immortal, there are many ways to become an immortal. The ways to become an immortal are not exactly the same. Not to mention the methods of demons, ghosts, spirits, and other alien races.
Human monks can cultivate their physical body and soul at the same time. The eight realms are divided according to the realm of the cultivation of the soul.
But the soul escapes from the body and flies to the immortal, this is just the lower path of immortality.
Only when the Yuanshen Flying Immortal and the physical body become saints, practice together to reach the supreme realm, and ascend to the physical body during the day, this is the best immortal path.
The physical body is undoubtedly the greatest foundation of immortal cultivators.
If you do not pay attention to the cultivation of the physical body, you will eventually not be able to keep up with the cultivation speed of the Yuanshen realm. In the end, the fragile physical body collapses. The powerful physical soul cannot live in the physical body. You have to helplessly escape, abandon your physical body, and become an immortal based on your physical soul.
The so-called corpse removal and becoming an immortal is the lowest immortal path.
There is a senior from the Middle Earth Immortal Cultivation World who once said in the Immortal Cultivation Book: "The body becomes a saintly immortal body, and the masterpiece is a picture of the Emperor's Son of Heaven. The body becomes a saintly and transcends the heavenly realm. A long time later, Lingshan Dharma Protectorate Platform."
If you only cultivate the soul and ignore the body, you will eventually regret it.
Those cultivators who focus on cultivating the soul and give up physical practice are not unwilling to think that most of them are poor financial resources and do not even have enough cultivation of the soul. If these two aspects are practiced at the same time, they will not even be able to break through the realm of the soul, and they will have to relax their physical practice if they are unable to take into account both.
Su Chen recalled many books of immortal cultivation that he had read, and his interpretation of these mantras was quite ignorant and could not understand them thoroughly.
He didn't know how far he could go on this avenue of immortal cultivation.
For him now, it is already satisfying to enter the Golden Elixir Stage as soon as possible, but the Nascent Soul is still a distant thing.
But Su Chen still remembered that he must never underestimate or ignore the cultivation of the physical body, and put all his treasures on the soul. The physical body must also have a good foundation early to avoid future.
Although the physical body and soul are cultivated together, it consumes more energy and financial resources. However, it can help him go further and make extremely profits.
In a flash, a full 7049 days passed.
The vital energy of a mysterious spiritual fruit was extremely powerful, and Su Chen was immersed in the sea of vitality. All of these vital energy were slowly absorbed by his meridians, bone marrow, flesh and nerves, and were greatly nourished.
Even the dander that often withered and fell from the surface of the skin is hungry and full of energy, and it no longer ages and falls.
At this time, Su Chen's eyes were shining with shimmering light, black hair was like black jade, strong muscles were poured like copper, and his skin was faintly crystal clear, and his whole body was flawless, feeling the unimaginable extent of his body.
If most of the peak monks at the ninth level of foundation building are lucky enough to obtain a mysterious spiritual fruit, the soul will absorb all its vitality and directly impact the bottleneck of the golden elixir. It is impossible to waste so much energy to temper the body.
But Su Chen let his body eat the vitality of a mysterious spiritual fruit.
The benefits of this to the body are undoubtedly huge.
He would rather risk the failure of attacking the golden elixir than lay a deep enough foundation.
After 49 days, Su Chen nourished and tempered his body to the limit. Then he took the second mysterious spiritual fruit, absorbed his huge vitality into the sea of consciousness, and began to impact the realm of the golden elixir.
Having said that, in fact, breaking through the realm of the Golden Pill is not just the only way to surrender the mysterious spiritual fruit.
However, this path is very mature and is adopted by the five major immortal sects in the Immortal Cultivation World in China. It takes a huge cost to plant a mysterious spiritual fruit tree. A group of golden elixir monks can be steadily born every few years, so that most of the late-stage monks of the Immortal Sect are flocking to this, and regard it as the best way to break through the golden elixir.
In addition to the mysterious spiritual fruit, there are at least a dozen rare rare spiritual objects in the Lingshan River. They have a lower chance and can also help monks break through the realm of the Golden Pill.
However, these wild treasures are scarce in number and are very difficult to find, so they almost completely take chances. This way can only be seen by personal opportunities and cannot be forced, so it is not regarded as the right way.
The foundation-building cultivators cannot obtain the mysterious spiritual fruits of the Immortal Sect, so they can only go to the Lingshan Mountains and the Secret Realm to find these opportunities for golden elixirs.
Because there are many sea areas in the East China Sea that have not been discovered by human cultivators, it is precisely a place with many opportunities. Therefore, there are many islands in the East China Sea, and many monks live and practice here.
Su Chen conquered the second mysterious spirit fruit. Soon after, the energy flow rushed into the spiritual mountain of the sea of consciousness and was absorbed by his green lotus soul.
The green lotus soul had already reached the ninth level of the foundation-building stage, and twelve green lotus leaves grew and a lotus with nine petals bloomed.
Now, I draw this huge stream of energy again.
The green lotus soul began to grow rapidly, but it did not bloom and fall, forming lotus seeds, but grew three petals one after another, with a total of up to twelve petals.
Moreover, among the twelve petals, a blue rosette grew, which was obviously the preparation before the golden elixir lotus seeds were created.
The cultivation level of the soul soared by three small levels in one breath, reaching the peak of the twelve level that is difficult to add to the foundation-building stage.
"The twelve-level realm of the foundation-building stage!?"
Su Chen was very surprised.
I don’t quite understand why my soul does not directly impact the golden elixir, but breaks through three small-level realms.
Very few foundation-building monks can practice to the twelve level.
However, this should be a good thing.
After half of the vitality was absorbed by the Qinglian Yuanshen, the remaining small part of the vitality was no longer enough to form the golden elixir.
Nearly a month later.
After Su Chen stabilized his twelve-level realm of the Foundation Establishment Period, he immediately took the third mysterious spiritual fruit. He gave birth to a torrent of energy again and rushed into the Spirit Mountain of the Sea of Consciousness.
"boom!"
The Qinglian soul finally undergoes a drastic change.
A round, golden lotus seed was created in the rosette surrounded by twelve petals.
The golden elixir lotus seed sits on the lotus seat, and its appearance is majestic. It blooms thousands of feet in a moment, illuminating the sea of consciousness and the mountain shines. The powerful spiritual pressure is hard to cover up and bursts out towards the outside world. It even emits an extremely tempting burst of fragrant spirit aura, which is unbearable temptation. This may be a unique vision of the Qinglian Yuanshen.
"Golden elixir lotus seeds!"
Su Chen sat cross-legged, looking inside at the changes in the Qinglian soul, his whole body was shocked, and his expression showed great surprise.
Chapter completed!
