Chapter 208 Three Changes in the Spiritual Sea, Three Disasters in the Golden Core
Zhuge Wuyou's expression was no longer worry-free at this moment, but instead had a hint of sadness.
"At this stage, there is no need to worry about the Nandou Palace. The three major sects want to end it personally. If one or two True Lords come, they will not be able to destroy the Xuandan Sect at their home court."
"Most of the true kings of Nandou Divine Palace have been restrained by Southern Xinjiang. It is unrealistic to dispatch half of the true kings."
"What's more, this matter also involves Taixu Sect. Even if Nandou Palace wants to end it, it must consider it."
"Taixu Sect?" Han Yi raised his eyebrows.
As early as in his Qi training stage, when the Blood God Sect occupied the Xuandan Sect's Taibai County mineral veins for no reason, Han Yi heard He Fangwei say that the leader of the Yuan Shun clan had gone to the Taixu Sect. However, it was not long after the Battle of the Devil's Cave, and the Taixu Sect Two Nascent Soul Sovereigns fell, their strength was damaged, and they did not take action, or they did not take action head-on, so it was ineffective.
However, later Da Qian intervened and there was a two-decade period of relaxation.
At this moment, Zhuge Wuyou mentioned Taixu Sect again, and Han Yi wanted to take the opportunity to ask about the relationship between Xuandan Sect and Taixu Sect.
After hearing Han Yi's question, Zhuge Wuyou spoke first before Han Yi could continue to ask.
"As for the matter of Taixu Sect, it is entirely the relationship between the sect leader and not the Xuandan Sect."
"The secrets involved in this are too terrifying. Only the sect master knows about the entire sect. Even us old guys don't know much about it."
Having said this, Zhuge Wuyou's face flashed with a hint of vague awe.
"Let's not mention this matter for now."
Zhuge Wuyou paused and continued to talk about the matter of Nandou Palace.
"So, if Nandoushen Palace wants to end it personally, it is not that simple in all aspects."
"As for Jiang Jiuge, he takes the blood river as his Taoist name. He should practice the supreme skill of the Blood God Sect, the Blood River Sutra. In order to achieve the Nascent Soul, it is said that it involves the secret of the Blood River, and he can be promoted to the Nascent Soul than ordinary monks. , it’s countless times more difficult, even the stunningly talented Jiang Yichuan was trapped in this step for four decades, let alone Jiang Jiuge.”
Han Yi nodded. Zhuge Wuyou's meaning was very simple. The fate of Nandou Palace involved several major forces including Da Gan and Yuan Shun. It was by no means that simple.
As for Jiang Jiuge, due to his martial arts, it is absolutely difficult to break through Nascent Soul. Even if he breaks through, the sect has policies to deal with it.
"Wanfa Sect, this is the enemy that Xuandan Sect faces now."
"The Wanfa Sect has two Nascent Soul Lords and as many as thirty Jindan Lords. In terms of high-end combat power, they are much stronger than us. In addition, this is an old Nascent Soul Sect. From all aspects, They are all superior to Xuan Dan Sect.”
"Nowadays, our clan is weak and we are helpless in many things."
"For example, what happened in Jinyun Immortal City, how Yuan Beast Sect dared to do something secretly, and how the Xuanxian Pavilion in the capital of Shu was attacked by Jie Xiu not long ago, all of which involve the shadow of Wanfa Sect."
Han Yi's heart sank. He also understood Zhuge Wuyou's worries. Although Xuan Dan Sect did not seem to have been attacked on a large scale at present, Wanfa Sect did not only use a single restriction method, but tested in many aspects.
Once the test is completed, a thunderous strike will definitely be launched. This is the conclusion that Han Yi can infer from the information collected so far.
"By the way, the sect leader suffered a minor injury and is in seclusion at Xuandan Peak. After a while, you can go find him again. He has also spent a lot of effort on your poisoning. He must not have expected that you would actually By cultivating the body and cultivating one channel at the same time, you will have eliminated the remaining poison.”
After Zhuge Wuyou finished talking about Wanfa Sect, he added another sentence.
This sentence reminded Han Yi and made his eyes light up. Since Zhuge Wuyou said it, many things can now be known to him. Isn't that the secret of Xuandan Peak, and he is qualified to know it.
"Uncle, I have a question in my mind. Regarding Xuandan Peak, what kind of formation is that fog? Is it hiding any secrets?"
This question has been in Han Yi's mind since he traveled through time. At this moment, he felt that he could make some insinuations.
but.
What surprised him was that when Zhuge Wuyou heard Han Yi's question, his face became more solemn than ever before.
"I just mentioned the relationship between the sect leader and the Taixu Sect, and it is related to the secret of Xuandan Peak."
"The secrets in Xuandan Peak are the biggest secrets of the sect. We Jindan only know the superficial things. This is what the sect master told us."
"This secret will be explained to you by the sect master when you step into the Golden Core."
"However, only by setting foot on Nascent Soul can we know the true inside story."
Speaking of which.
Zhuge Wuyou suddenly added something that reassured Han Yi the most.
"The crisis I just mentioned does not actually involve the danger of annihilation of the sect. Do you know why?"
When he said this, he didn't expect Han Yi to answer, so he continued to talk to himself.
"Because, the secret of Xuandan Peak involves levels, at least the True Lord level. Even if the sect is in crisis, it is an external crisis. Those Nascent Soul True Lords will never dare to step into our sect, at most. Send Jindan monks to test."
"So, for now, as long as the sect leader is in charge of the Xuandan Sect, our sect is not in danger of being destroyed. You can rest assured."
However, when Zhuge Wuyou said this, Han Yi became even more curious.
On the one hand, he didn't expect that even Zhuge Wuyou didn't know much about the secrets of Xuandan Peak, and said that only those who had broken through to Nascent Soul were qualified to know.
On the other hand, a large number of Yuanying monks from other sects did not dare to set foot near Xuandan Peak.
From this point of view, Han Yi became more convinced of his guess. The secret of Xuandan Peak was most likely the core reason for the unprovoked quarrel between the Blood God Sect and the Tianhun Sect.
And behind the Blood God Sect and the Heavenly Soul Sect, there are definitely True Lord-level monks.
But since Zhuge Wuyou said that this secret was too terrifying and only the True Lord was qualified to know it, Han Yi would not risk his own life to pry into it.
After a while.
Han Yi walked down the tower, walked into the elder's work area, and found Lu Li.
Because Shen Ping, the chief of Qinglong Palace, was in retreat to prepare for the breakthrough of the golden elixir, Lu Li was temporarily promoted from the second position to the chief, taking care of more things and becoming busier.
Seeing Han Yi, Lu Li's eyes suddenly widened.
"Junior Brother Han, you, you...have you reached the peak of foundation building now?"
Han Yi did not hide his aura. In terms of aura, it was more than twice as powerful as when he left four years ago. It was the same as the feeling that Shen Ping gave Lu Li back then.
Lu Li's eyes bulged when Han Yi nodded in recognition. Apparently, he was so shocked that his expression collapsed.
"This, this has only been four years, four years, you are, this is... going to go against the grain."
Lu Li sighed, his expression extremely complicated. In the end, he could only describe Han Yi as 'defying the heaven'.
"By the way, Junior Brother Han, the information you told me to pay attention to four years ago has just come. I don't know yet that you have returned to the sect, and I am planning to pass it on to Qiandu."
Han Yi's eyes lit up. Naturally, he came to Lu Li to pay attention to the whereabouts of Yan Ru, as he had entrusted him with four years ago.
"Zhang Kun, the shopkeeper of the Xuanhuo Pill Shop in Lingchuan City, received news that Yan Ru had purchased several bottles of healing elixirs at the Xuanhuo Pill Shop a year ago and also stored the items. Moreover, he also said At the beginning, Yan Ru was still injured and her face was not good-looking. "
Han Yi was startled, but he did not panic. Instead, he noticed a sensitive issue.
"time."
"a year ago?"
Lu Li shook his head: "Yes, it was a year ago. When the shopkeeper was sorting out the files, he happened to flip through the missing person album I handed out and noticed the name Yan Ru. He remembered that Yan Ru had been there a year ago. I stayed with him briefly for a day.”
"However, one year is too long. Even if Yan Ru stayed for a short time, after one year, she would no longer know where she was."
"Junior Brother Han, this is the only news about Yan Ru in the past few years. It is up to you whether you go to investigate or not."
Lu Li gave Han Yi a stack of information, and Han Yi nodded solemnly.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lu, I owe you a favor."
Lu Li immediately beamed: "Brothers from the same sect, this is how it should be."
After a while, Han Yi left, and Lu Li sighed heavily again. Comparing people with each other made him angry. Han Yi built the foundation, and it was not even ten years.
Such talent is truly astonishing.
Lu Li didn't know what had happened to Han Yi in the past few years. If it had been another foundation-building monk, he would have died countless times.
Han Yi's strength was gained through tribulations.
the other side.
Han Yi, who returned to the quiet room, first read through all the information given by Lu Li.
Lingchuan City is located in Luofeng County. It is not far from Daofu City and Tongcheng where Han Yi once visited, and is closer to Nanhuai City where he went to complete the sect's mission.
but.
During this period, the relationship between the Xuandan Sect and the Yuan Beast Sect was relatively tense. Both sects had power in Luofeng County. However, the data showed that the shops of the Yuan Beast Sect also withdrew from the Tongcheng area three months ago. Of course there is no need to worry.
Of course, what Han Yi is worried about is not the Yuan Beast Sect, but Yan Ru.
A year ago, Yan Ru went east. If he turned back to the north, he would have entered the Yuan Beast Sect, and then passed through the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains to reach Da Qin; if he did not turn back, he would have passed through several major counties and entered Qianzhou.
but.
These are Han Yi's guesses. Maybe Yan Ru is near Lingchuan City, maybe.
Therefore, he had to make this trip to Lingchuan City no matter what.
Putting down the information, Han Yi picked up the jade butterfly given by Zhuge Wuyou.
Then, he placed the jade butterfly on his forehead.
Suddenly.
A flow of information flowed into his heart. This flow of information was so huge that even with Han Yi's current soul strength, it took him a full ten minutes to digest this flow of information.
After a while, Han Yi put the jade butterfly into the Qiankun Ring, with thoughts on his face.
There is a lot of information in Jade Butterfly, but the most core one can extract eight characters.
Three changes in the spiritual sea, three disasters in the golden elixir.
The monk builds the foundation, and the upper, middle and lower Dantian changes simultaneously.
As for the monks, from foundation building to breaking through to the golden elixir, the most important thing is the spiritual sea. When they break through the Nascent Soul, the soul is mainly involved.
The so-called golden elixir is the liquefied mana in the spiritual sea of the peak foundation-building monk, which begins to condense into solidified spiritual energy crystals at the core and center of the spiritual sea.
This spiritual energy crystal is the golden elixir.
The reason why it takes a long time to advance to the golden elixir is because in the process of condensation, it needs to go through three changes in the spiritual sea and three disasters of the golden elixir.
Let’s talk about the three disasters of Jindan first.
Natural disasters, man-made disasters, longevity disasters.
Natural disasters refer to disasters given by the will of heaven and earth, including the catastrophes of heavenly demons that have existed since the foundation was established, as well as some disasters that occur in the dark.
Data show that natural disasters are the most unpredictable.
A monk broke through the seclusion, and suddenly his spiritual veins exploded, and violent spiritual energy entered his body, directly sweeping through the spiritual sea and destroying the half-condensed golden elixir.
This kind of disaster that looks like an ‘unforeseen disaster’ is a kind of natural disaster.
Man-made disasters can be understood as the continuation of the cause and effect disaster during the foundation building.
As long as it exists, there is cause and effect.
In the process of breaking through the golden elixir, man-made disasters are the most dangerous, including attacks by hostile cultivators, brothers and sisters from the sect who covet one’s own sect, or obstructions by fellow Taoists, all of which are man-made disasters.
Moreover.
The time of man-made disasters, like natural disasters, is uncertain. It may be before the formation of the elixir, during the formation of the elixir, or after the formation of the elixir, when the cultivation is not yet stable. Therefore, in order to reduce the danger of man-made disasters, most cultivators will choose a long period of seclusion before and after the breakthrough of the golden elixir, and then come out after stabilizing their cultivation.
Longevity disasters are disasters of life span.
Foundation building cultivators can easily live to 250 years old, while golden elixir cultivators can live for 400 years. This sudden increase in life span breaks a certain higher-level rule, and the rules bring down disasters, which are life span disasters.
Life disasters do not appear during foundation building, but they are the most dangerous during Dan formation.
Among the three disasters of Jindan, the ways to survive the first two are relatively easy to understand, no wonder they are avoiding disasters, resisting disasters, and killing enemy cultivators, but the way to survive the third one, life disaster, is very strange.
When a cultivator survives the life disaster, the real world is only a moment, but for the cultivator, it seems that he is pulled into a certain world and has experienced a special test.
Moreover.
When the cultivator who survives the life disaster comes to his senses, he forgets that part of the test completely, and only vaguely remembers that there was a test about life.
And the cultivator who cannot survive the life disaster will never come back to his senses, his body will decay instantly, and his life will end in an instant.
The body dies and the Tao disappears, and it all depends on one thought.
This is the three disasters of Jindan.
And the three changes of the spirit sea are three changes in the process of Dan formation.
The first change is to condense the golden elixir. In the center of the spiritual sea, the mana gradually semi-solidifies, then gradually solidifies, and finally leaves the sea of mana and hovers above the spiritual sea.
The second change is that the spiritual sea expands again, and it expands vertically, toward the upper dantian position, that is, the direction of the sea of consciousness.
The third change is that the sea of mana gradually changes from the original pure liquefied state to a semi-fluid state.
These three changes are actually preparations for the Nascent Soul.
When a cultivator breaks through the Nascent Soul, the upper, middle and lower dantian, that is, the spiritual sea and the sea of consciousness, will be combined into one, and the golden elixir and the soul will be combined into one. Of course, this point was only mentioned briefly in Yudie, and it was not elaborated.
This is the three changes of the spiritual sea.
Of course, the three changes of the spiritual sea and the three disasters of the golden elixir do not actually include the heavenly demon disaster.
The heavenly demon disaster runs through the breakthrough of each realm of the cultivator, needless to say.
In addition to the basic information about the three changes of the spiritual sea and the three disasters of the golden elixir, most of the information in the jade butterfly that Zhuge Wuyou gave to Han Yi was an explanation of the three changes and three disasters, and collected many cases, notes, pictures, case records and other information when breaking through.
Before this.
Han Yi only knew that the golden elixir would condense in the spiritual sea, and he had heard about other changes and disasters in bits and pieces, but he had never understood them so systematically.
This jade butterfly is worth more than a thousand gold for a casual cultivator.
This is the advantage of a large sect. If the Xuandan Sect had not survived the death disaster, he would have to acquire this knowledge by himself as a casual cultivator now.
Suddenly.
Han Yi's heart moved.
Since the foundation and the golden elixir have disasters, what about the Nascent Soul? In addition to the thunder disaster, will there be other corresponding disasters?
The pattern has improved.
Thinking about the Xuandan death disaster at the beginning, would it be one of the disasters that Yuan Shun needed to overcome to break through the Nascent Soul?
This conjecture is not impossible.
However, he was still far from the Nascent Soul stage. Even if he knew about it in advance, it would be more disadvantageous than beneficial, so he would not ask for trouble.
After he had an idea about how to break through the Golden Core, Han Yi packed up his things, left the quiet room, and walked in the Xuandan Sect, from the Qinglong Palace to the Qinglong Cliff, then to the other eight inner peaks, and then to the Doufa Peak.
This fairy peak located between the inner peak and the outer peak has become the most lively existence in the entire Xuandan Sect.
He wanted to find He Fangwei, but found that the sign of the Jiulong Shop had been changed to another business name. He asked a Qi training shopkeeper who rented the shop, and then he knew that He Fangwei had officially closed the Jiulong Shop.
Han Yi remembered that He Fangwei said that he would consider closing the shop after his master Tang Yiyuan came out of retreat, but now Tang Yiyuan is still in retreat, but the shop is closed in advance. Something must have happened.
However.
The cause and effect between Han Yi and the Jiulong Shop has ended. No matter what happens, he will not intervene.
After a while, after looking at the three lists of heaven, earth and man, he flew up on his sword, released the immortal boat, and headed out of the sect.
The purpose of his trip was naturally Lingchuan City in Luofeng County.
The immortal boat Han Yi was riding was still a low-grade magic weapon-level earth immortal boat. As for the heavenly immortal boat obtained from the killer of the Black God Tower, it consumed too many spirit stones and put too much burden on the spiritual consciousness. It was not necessary to use it in a wartime state.
That evening, Han Yi flew over the great immortal city of Luofeng County, Tongcheng, and then arrived at Lingchuan City.
When flying over Tongcheng, the faces of two people suddenly flashed in Han Yi's mind.
One is Luo Yunzhou. He and Luo Yunzhou took a fairy boat and arrived in Tongcheng, and then rushed to Daofu City for the dispute over Luo's spiritual field. In the end, Luo Yunzhou was killed, and Han Yi got the black token of the mysterious cave. Then The token later indirectly saved one of his own in the Mirage Secret Realm in Shudu.
The cause and effect of this is unclear.
The other one is Fu Canghai.
At that time, he received a mission from the sect and went to the Gu family in Nanhuai City. He found that the Gu family was refining the Yin-Yang Evil Pill. After leaving, he was chased by Gu Zhijing. It was the first time that Han Yi faced a foundation-building monk. Although he was an old and early-stage foundation-building monk. , but also let him know the power of foundation building.
Then Fu Canghai appeared and killed the foundation with a wave of his hand, leaving Han Yi in awe. It was also at that time that Fu Canghai presented Han Yi with a set of Tiandu daggers.
These two people can be regarded as good teachers and helpful friends on the road of cultivation. However, they both died because of the ruthlessness of the immortal way.
Han Yi put down the complicated emotions in his heart.
People have to look forward, let alone monks who compete with heaven for immortality and time for longevity.
Before sunset, Han Yi arrived at Lingchuan City and directly found the shopkeeper of the Xuanhuo Pill Shop in this fairy city. The information given by Lu Li included the shopkeeper's information.
The shopkeeper's name is Zhang Kun. He is a middle-aged monk, but his eyes have been shaken, and he is actually not young. After Han Yi showed his nameplate, Zhang Kun paid a respectful visit to Han Yi, knowing that Han Yi came to ask about Yan Ru. Things happened, so he took out the information.
"Elder Han, this is a coincidence. The information that the sect distributed before about the search for Yan Ru happened to be put away by an assistant in the shop, and it was also dug out not long ago."
"I just remembered it, and it was indeed the case."
"The sect has set a reward of one thousand points. If I had known about it earlier, I would have reported it long ago."
Han Yi nodded: "Describe the situation at that time."
Zhang Kun will meet Yan Ru and tell her everything about Yan Ru's condition and what pills he bought.
For monks in the middle and late stages of Qi training, it is basically impossible to forget what happened a year ago.
"By the way, before Yan Ru left, she left something behind. She said it was temporarily stored in the shop for three years. She said she would come back to pick it up after three years. Elder Han, do you think?"
Of course, it cannot be used privately for general storage, but since Han Yi is an elder of the sect and is looking for someone, the situation is different.
Han Yi did not refuse: "Take out the things and give them to me. If there are any problems later, I will be responsible."
Zhang Kun took out a box from a cabinet deeper in the alchemy shop and handed it to Han Yi.
Han Yi did not open the box immediately, but first put in the Qiankun Ring, and then asked Zhang Kun where Yanru went, but he naturally concluded that he did not know.
Seeing that there was no other information, Han Yi left the alchemy shop, rose up with his sword, released the immortal boat, flew out of Lingchuan City, randomly selected a direction, flew about ten kilometers, and then hovered in the sky.
At this moment, it was sunset. After sunset, the night gradually darkened, but it did not block Han Yi's sight at all.
He opened the box solemnly.
But there was only a piece of blood-stained cloth in the box.
