Chapter 360: Immortal Practice Is Difficult
——Sorry, I came just because of the power outage.
Master Zhang Zhengyan knew that Shi Xuan wanted to discuss the matter of the Pure Yang magic weapon with him, so after all the disciples had paid their respects to Shi Xuan, he sent the chief, elders, and true disciples away.
When they left, some were silent, and some gathered together to whisper, especially the true disciples. After being surprised to find that Ren Shuiyao and the Chi family siblings had a close relationship with the newly promoted Yuanshen Shi Zhenren, they also heard from them that the two true disciples Liu Xi and Chen Ran, who usually did not show their talents, were actually the direct disciples of Shi Zhenren! You can't judge a person by his appearance.
When the hall was quiet, Master Zhang looked at Shi Xuan with relief and emotion: "Two years ago, I watched you go to other worlds. I didn't expect that in just two years, I would see you achieve Yuanshen and return. It's really unpredictable." Just like Shi Xuan was not used to it, Master Zhang was not used to calling Shi Xuan Zhenren, so he could only adapt slowly.
"When I was helping Grandma Yu, I had already entered the Yin God for more than 80 years. The breath of creation saved a lot of time, so I was able to achieve the Yuan Shen so quickly." Shi Xuan explained briefly.
"But that was also very fast, unlike the old Taoist. Hey, forget it, Master Shi, you are here to get the Pure Yang magic weapon, right? The old Taoist will temporarily take charge of two, I wonder which one you like?" Master Zhang put away his sigh and turned to business.
Shi Xuan knew that there was no need to be polite with Master Zhang, so he said directly: "I have used the Ruyi Binding Immortal Rope before, which is also convenient. I wonder if the master can give it up?"
Master Zhang smiled and said: "The "Shenxiao True Method" practiced by the old Taoist is more suitable for the God of Thunder Mirror of the Heavens." After that, he took out a simple golden rope emitting a soft light from his sleeves. It was divided into nine sections, and there were four talismans on each section.
Shi Xuan took over the Ruyi Binding Immortal Rope and felt the lively and friendly Yuan Ling inside. He couldn't help but smile slightly. This Ruyi Binding Immortal Rope still remembered him. It was not like the illusion magic weapon, but only had a nearly mechanical Yuan Ling.
The Ruyi Binding Immortal Rope had a total of eleven layers of treasure restrictions. When the twelfth layer of treasure restrictions was refined, it would be necessary to prepare for the second heavenly tribulation. However, if this layer of treasure restrictions is to be successfully refined within a thousand years, the owner must master the central and other eleven layers of restrictions, and then refine them according to the method. If the Ruyi Binding Immortal Rope Yuan Ling derived and refined it by itself, it would take at least a few thousand years and at most hundreds of thousands of years.
Under normal circumstances, the six layers of restrictions of the illusion magic weapon can be refined in about five hundred years, but after that, its owner often only nurtures it for thousands of years and does not let it go through the heavenly tribulation. This is because under the heavenly tribulation, the magic weapon is more likely to fall than the Yuan Shen Zhenren. Until the last heavenly tribulation can no longer be isolated, the magic weapon will not be allowed to go through the tribulation.
Of course, before the illusion magic weapon passes the tribulation, even if the six layers of treasure prohibition have been sacrificed, they can only master the first five layers, and cannot fully master the first layer of treasure prohibition, so the power is much worse.
Only the natal magic weapon is an exception. It comes with the master. Even if the master passes the tribulation, they can pass the tribulation, but even if they become the heavenly spiritual treasure, they cannot transform into a spiritual form, because their spiritual form is a part of the master.
Among the pure yang magic weapons, the seventh to twelfth layers of prohibition, if someone sacrifices and refines, generally take a thousand years, and then naturally warm up to wait for the second tribulation. The thirteenth to eighteenth layers of prohibition, generally take two thousand years, and after a long time of warming, they can pass the third tribulation. After three tribulations, the treasure prohibition of the pure yang magic weapon has been completed. This stage is to warm up the spiritual form, and strive to transform the spiritual form under the fourth tribulation, and the eighteen layers of treasure prohibition are combined into one spiritual prohibition. The specific time depends on the magic weapon's spiritual form.
In order to prevent the extinction of Yuanshen Zhenren, the pure yang magic weapons in the sect are all ownerless, and they are allowed to generate treasure bans and nurture themselves. In this way, within hundreds of thousands of years, the sect will not be afraid of not having the power of Yuanshen level to suppress the sect.
Therefore, Shi Xuan can only grasp the core of Ruyi Binding Xian Suo, and cannot grasp and refine the treasure ban, but even so, Ruyi Binding Xian Suo can exert the power of the six layers of treasure ban just after the tribulation.
After Shi Xuan put away Ruyi Binding Xian Suo, Zhang Zong said jokingly: "I don't know what good things Shi Zhenren brought back to the sect this time. Last time, there were dozens of spiritual tools." Shi Xuan was out for only two years this time, and Zhang Zong never thought that he could have other big gains, so he was just joking.
Shi Xuan smiled slightly, and with a thought, the Yin-Yang Qi Bottle appeared in his palm, and then he poured it down, and piles of things came out at once, including spiritual tools, spiritual herbs, elixirs, secret treasures, jade slips...
Master Zhang's eyes were wide open: "Master Shi, how did you do it? How many Jindan Grandmasters and Yinshen Venerables did you kill to get so much?"
Shi Xuan thought, if most of the things had not turned into ashes under the self-explosion of the Infinite Sunlight Sword, there would be hundreds of times more, after all, that was the place where the elite cultivators of the world were, and he told Master Zhang about his general experience.
However, he did not mention the key sword that helped him achieve the Yuanshen. For a cultivator like Master Zhang who was stuck in the Yinshen, it would be harmful after hearing it, after all, everyone's obsession is different.
"So that's how it is. Well, I won't waste your time any more. You still have to go to Tianya Haijiao Tower to practice immortal formations and immortal arts." When Master Zhang called him "real man", he felt a little sad, and at the same time, he was even more hesitant about the external Taoist spirit.
Shi Xuan nodded, put away the items again, and then went to Tianya Haijiao Tower.
…………
On the second floor of Tianya Haijiao Building, Lin Luo was practicing with his eyes closed. Suddenly, his expression changed and he looked outside the building. There was deep doubt and vigilance on the dignified and beautiful face: "Master Yuanshen? Is it a Taoist friend from which sect who is visiting, or is it a disciple who has achieved Yuanshen and returned? Hey, why is this breath a little familiar?"
Because Lin Luo didn't think about Shi Xuan who had just left for two years, even if Yuanshen had a photographic memory and could recall his memory at any time, he didn't remember it for a while.
When Shi Xuan walked nearby, Lin Luo stood up suddenly, and his pink little mouth opened into a circle. Wasn't this Shi Xuan who had asked for advice in front of him two years ago? Lin Luo suddenly felt a little absurd and false.
But she was a Master Yuanshen, so she quickly suppressed her emotions and began to think about it. The breath of this Yuanshen was so harmonious with the heaven and earth, so it was not a foreign Yuanshen. It seemed that his opportunity had come and he could quickly encounter the opportunity and seize it.
After thinking through all this, Lin Luo went up to the third floor and waited for Shi Xuan to come.
Shi Xuan walked slowly along the way, enjoying the surrounding scenery. At the stage of Yuanshen, without the pressure of life span, his mood suddenly became less irritable and anxious, and he could enjoy it more leisurely. Of course, the heavenly tribulation was another pressure on Yuanshen Zhenren.
After going up to the third floor, Shi Xuan saw Lin Luo looking at him with a gentle smile on his face, which made Shi Xuan, who had been attacked by others' surprised and unbelievable expressions since returning to the sect, brighten his eyes and stepped forward and said: "Disciple greets Zhenren Lin."
Lin Luo waved his hand: "Since you have achieved Yuanshen, I am not your direct teacher, so you don't need to call yourself a disciple in front of me. I am three generations older than you, you can call me by my name or junior."
"Junior understands." Shi Xuan smiled and responded, looking at Lin Luo and the seven jade slips behind her.
Lin Luo smiled softly, lighting up the room: "These seven jade slips, three of which contain the true Dharma, one is the secret method of overcoming tribulations collected by the True Lords and True Men of all generations, one is the Nine Heavens Seal Ten Thousand Thunder Immortal Formation, one is the Cold Light Splitting Heaven and Earth Immortal Formation, and the remaining one is the immortal method of 'Shenxiao Zhenlei'. You are now a Yuanshen Zhenren, you can check it at will, but you can't take it out of this Tianya Haijiao Tower."
Shi Xuan took a few steps forward, picked up the immortal method "Shenxiao Zhenlei" first, and put it into Yuanshi. The content inside immediately appeared clearly in Yuanshen, which made Shi Xuan a little stunned. This kind of immortal method that can be directly cultivated is actually like this?
In order to successfully practice the immortal art "Shenxiao True Thunder", one must first practice the 36 Shenxiao Thunder Arts to the ninth level of Taoism, and then operate the method in the jade slip, combine the laws of heaven and earth, and condense the 36 Thunder Arts into one, becoming Shenxiao True Thunder. Once a thunder is issued, thousands of thunders will sound at the same time, including lightning, wind, fire, ice, etc. Of course, according to the will of the caster, these thunders of different natures can appear at the same time, or only one at a time.
Unexpectedly, the direct practice of immortal arts must be based on Taoism, but it takes much less time to advance from Taoism to immortal arts. Shi Xuan thought to himself that since he achieved the Yuanshen, he has not had time to calm down and read the second volume of "Baolu", so he never knew.
Generally speaking, it takes at least 120 years for a ninth-level Taoist art to be promoted to a first-level immortal art, and most Yuanshen Zhenren spend much more time on this. Some Yuanshen Zhenren even waited until the first heavenly tribulation, but none of their Taoist arts were promoted to immortal arts. The reason is that when they stepped through the mysterious gate of life and death, they did not have enough fusion of true spirits, their foundation was not solid, and the laws of heaven and earth they obtained were not harmonious enough, so the secret method of overcoming the tribulation was so popular.
And this kind of immortal art that is directly cultivated, as long as the corresponding Taoist art reaches the ninth level, it will take ten years to cultivate it successfully. Even if those Taoist arts have never been cultivated before and need to start from scratch, it will take at most 170 to 80 years for Yuanshen Zhenren, which will still save a lot of time compared to the normal advancement of immortal arts, and as long as the nature is compatible and can withstand certain inevitable backlash, there is an additional temptation that will definitely be cultivated successfully.
So for most Yuanshen Zhenren, this is something that they can fight for with all their strength. One more immortal art, the hope of saving life under the heavenly tribulation increases by one point.
After reading it, Shi Xuan thought about his own Shenxiao Thirty-Six Thunder Methods. Only three of them were at the sixth level, and the others were at the fifth level. It would take at least a hundred years to cultivate them one by one to the ninth level. It seemed that in the short term, he still had to rely on magic weapons to support the scene. It was really difficult to cultivate immortal methods. Who told him to advance so quickly? His foundation in Taoism was a little unstable.
After memorizing the "Shenxiao True Thunder" immortal method, Shi Xuan picked up the Jiutian Duzhuan Ten Thousand Thunder Immortal Formation and the Cold Light Splitting Heaven and Earth Immortal Formation to see what the difference was between this kind of formation at the level of Yuanshen and ordinary formations.
