Chapter 296: Twenty Years
These few soul-devouring fire poisonous insects that have no vital signs in front of them seem to be in a state of extinction.
This state of extinction is also a way to break through. Once they can wake up from the state of extinction, they will definitely be able to go further and enter the true level. In Xiao Lin's opinion, it is a sure thing.
But the greater probability is that they will die completely in this state of extinction, and return to dust.
Whether it is the spiritual insects and beasts raised by the cultivators, or the demon insects and beasts in the world, they all follow the pyramid-like breakthrough model like human cultivators.
In human cultivation, from refining qi to building foundation, then to golden elixir and then to Nascent Soul, every time a major realm is promoted, a large number of cultivators will be eliminated, and as the realm is promoted, the probability of elimination is also greater.
Even if you want to cultivate Nascent Soul, it is far from enough to rely on qualifications and hard work alone. You also need some big enough opportunities. Of course, except for the heavenly spiritual roots and the legendary fairy spiritual roots, these people are blessed by heaven and have a smooth journey.
But this kind of people are not all smooth sailing. If they are not envied by heaven, they will be envied by people. It is not easy to cultivate to the Nascent Soul or even the God Transformation peacefully.
Xiao Lin looked at these completely dead Soul Devouring Fire Gu, and kept thinking in his heart. If they really want to be reborn through the way of Nirvana to achieve the purpose of evolution, then they need a large enough base.
The combat power of a single Soul Devouring Fire Gu is limited even if it enters the true level. Most of these spirit insects rely on amazing numbers to achieve the effect of killing the enemy.
Xiao Lin was thinking whether he should continue to give birth to some ordinary Soul Devouring Fire Gu, so that more Soul Devouring Fire Gu that survived after devouring each other can enter this state of Nirvana.
In order to increase the probability of Nirvana rebirth, Xiao Lin was a little worried. If his idea was wrong, it would consume a lot of resources, and he would also lose a lot of Soul Devouring Fire Gu.
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Lin finally made up his mind and was ready to try to continue to cultivate the true Soul Devouring Fire Gu.
Xiao Lin first exited the spirit beast bag and put the few soul-devouring fire insects in the state of extinction into the side room. Then he divided more than 10,000 from the more than 30,000 ordinary perfect soul-devouring fire insects and put them into the spirit beast bag.
After dividing them, Xiao Lin entered the spirit wood space through meditation. In the spirit wood space, in addition to the various spirit herbs growing well, the small sapling in the center remained unchanged.
On the emerald green trunk, which was about a foot high, there were two lush green leaves, and a light green dewdrop rolled on each green leaf.
On one side of the spirit wood space, in a spirit field circled by Xiao Lin, hundreds of green sandalwood grasses grew well. They were at least 170 to 180 years old. It would not be long before they could be used to refine another batch of Qi Yuan Dan.
As for the blood ganoderma fruit, it also grew a bright red patch. If it had not been restricted to a small spirit field by Xiao Lin, it would have spread long ago.
In addition, there is a separate spiritual field in Xiao Lin's spiritual field, where dozens of green four-leaf grasses grow. At the remote trading meeting in Ziyang Immortal City, he once used this four-leaf grass to exchange for a piece of blood gold that can upgrade the level of spiritual tools.
It can be seen that the value of this four-leaf grass is probably not low. The third-level spiritual grass is a spiritual medicine for refining the third-level spiritual pill. The third-level spiritual pill is suitable for cultivators in the late stage of foundation building and the early and middle stages of golden elixir to improve their cultivation.
For Xiao Lin now, it is not too urgent.
After inspecting these well-growing spiritual herbs, Xiao Lin turned his attention to the huge number of spiritual mist grass and rejuvenation flowers. The number of these spiritual mist grass and rejuvenation flowers is at least more than ten times the number of five-element spiritual herbs next to them.
Xiao Lin left behind twenty or thirty spiritual mist grass and rejuvenation flowers at intervals, and picked all the rest.
It took Xiao Lin half a day to finish picking the Spirit Mist Grass and Rejuvenating Flowers. Then he left the Spirit Wood Space and threw at least half of the Spirit Mist Grass and Rejuvenating Flowers into the Spirit Beast Bag.
These spiritual herbs were enough to stimulate the devouring instinct of these Spirit Devouring Fire Gu.
After doing all this, Xiao Lin left the Spirit Beast Room, returned to the training room, and sat cross-legged on the futon.
After meditating for a moment, Xiao Lin closed his eyes. In his sea of consciousness, the first chapter of the Bu Tian Sutra reappeared, and Xiao Lin began to comprehend it carefully.
......
The entire Dancao Mountain was still calm, but two years ago, the Cave Trial was opened again, and Dancao Mountain welcomed some new faces.
These people, like the slightly immature Xiao Lin back then, came to Dancao Mountain with full of longing. Perhaps, in their hearts, they all dreamed that one day they would be able to build a foundation, form a pill, or even transform into a baby.
After all, they all went through the cruel competition of the Cave Trial to get to this point.
After Dancao Mountain changed the rules for issuing foundation-building pills, it did bring about some changes. That is, the original ten major cultivation families in Dancao Mountain gradually began to weaken.
Some disciples who were born as independent cultivators began to emerge, and through the "Five Hells Illusionary Realm" trial, those who were determined and determined to pursue the Tao had a path to move up. Moreover, because these people have a heart as solid as a rock, they are more likely to withstand various accidents and pains when breaking through the realm.
Therefore, a strange scene appeared in the entire Dancao Mountain. Among the cultivators who successfully built their foundation every year, the outer disciples who were born as independent cultivators actually accounted for more than one-third, which was simply unimaginable before.
Before the opening of the Five Hells Illusion, the number of outer disciples who successfully built their foundations each year was very rare. There was even an embarrassing situation where no outer disciples who were independent cultivators had built their foundations for several years.
The main reason was that after the foundation-building pills issued by the sect were distributed by the major cultivation families that controlled the middle level of Dancao Mountain, only a few of them could finally fall into the hands of outer disciples who were independent cultivators.
The Five Hells Illusion Trial was a rule set by the Tianyi Patriarch himself. Although the ten major cultivation families were dissatisfied, they could only accept it honestly. There was no other way. This was authority. In a sect, the Yuanying stage cultivators were the absolute authority.
However, everything that happened in the outside world had nothing to do with Xiao Lin. His cave was still closed, and he was sitting cross-legged in the secret room, motionless, and this state had lasted for a full ten years.
It has been twenty years since Xiao Lin returned to Dancao Mountain to practice in seclusion. In the first ten years, he devoted all his mind to comprehend the first text of the Bu Tian Sutra. The text of the Bu Tian Sutra is obscure and difficult to understand, and extremely profound.
Xiao Lin thought he was not a dull person, but it took him three or four years to finally comprehend the practice method of this scripture. After comprehending the practice method of the Bu Tian Sutra, Xiao Lin was really happy, and then he couldn't wait to start practicing.
This practice lasted for five years, and in the process of practice, he also discovered a secret hidden in this scripture, a secret related to the Langhuan Secret Realm.
Five years later, Xiao Lin's first level of the Bu Tian Sutra finally entered the minor success realm, and at this time, his spiritual consciousness, both in terms of strength and range, reached more than double the original. Originally, with the strength of his spiritual consciousness, it could cover a range of about three or four hundred feet.
After practicing the first level of the Bu Tian Sutra and entering the minor success realm, the coverage of his spiritual consciousness has reached more than six hundred feet.
This distance is very close to the spiritual awareness coverage of the foundation-building great perfection cultivator, which makes Xiao Lin very happy. The Bu Tian Jing is indeed a strange practice, which can actually strengthen one's spiritual awareness through practice.
It must be said that this practice has subverted Xiao Lin's cognition. After the first level of the Bu Tian Jing, Xiao Lin found that his practice progress began to slow down, which made Xiao Lin doubt whether he practiced wrong.
After reading the first scripture countless times, Xiao Lin was sure that he did not practice wrong. It seems that this is also the characteristic of this practice. Thinking of this, Xiao Lin no longer struggled.
After that, Xiao Lin spent two or three hours a day meditating and practicing the Bu Tian Jing, and most of the rest of the time was used to practice the Xuan Qi Han Yan Jue.
From spring to autumn, Dancao Mountain is evergreen all year round, but with the change of seasons, there will be subtle changes. In the valley where Xiao Lin's cave is located, there grows a kind of maple bamboo. In late autumn, the bamboo leaves of this bamboo will turn blood red.
During the time when Xiao Lin was in seclusion, the maple bamboo turned red twenty times.
Twenty years, for ordinary mortals, some people may have passed a lifetime, and for most people, it is also a long time.
But for cultivators, it is just a blink of an eye.
Xiao Lin, who was in seclusion, had long lost the concept of time. Xiao Lin, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, had a thick layer of dust on his body, which was an inch high.
If a mortal saw this scene at this moment, he would probably think that this was a dead person who had been dead for decades.
Eight years ago, after the sixth mana tempering, Xiao Lin finally entered the sixth level of the Xuanqi Hanyan Jue and was about to start the second return to the origin. Returning to the origin, either reborn in extinction or perishing in extinction.
This is the sentence in the Xuanqi Hanyan Jue that Xiao Lin remembers most deeply, and it is also the opening sentence of the general outline. Once returning to the origin, the spirit of the cultivator's body will be completely restrained without any waste.
Every bit of the cultivator's energy and spirit sank into the sea of consciousness, and hit the bottleneck with all his strength.
This situation is extremely dangerous. It is like a war. If you have already left a way out for yourself, once the war fails, the worst you can do is to follow the way out you left. At least you can preserve your strength and make a comeback.
Another way is to cut off all your own ways out and go all out. If you fail, you will die. In this case, if you fail, the final outcome will be complete extinction.
Xuanqi Hanyan Jue is the latter. Go all out. If you don't rebirth in Nirvana, you will die in Nirvana. There are two lines of life and death, and you can only choose one.
