Chapter 262: The Way of Earthly Immortals
After Yuanshi left, Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi arrived at the ancestral land of the human race.
After all, the innate human race was created by Nuwa with top-level spiritual materials such as the Nine Heavens Xirang and the Three Lights Divine Water.
Although only one yuan was created by pinching and throwing.
These people still have a very solid foundation.
In terms of the power of the physical body, the first three people who were pinched all reached the level of Golden Immortal.
The three thousand who were pinched later also had the level of True Immortal.
The more than 120,000 who were thrown out at the end were also equivalent to Heavenly Immortals.
This has reached the general level of the current prehistoric creatures.
However, because there is no blood inheritance, the innate human race has a lot of spiritual power, but they don’t know how to use it.
The creatures of other races are born knowing, but the human race is indeed ignorant.
This made Hongyun and Zhenyuanzi a little confused.
Emperor Jun is so smart, how could he canonize the human race as the leader of all spirits?
However, as the two spent more and more time in the human race, they found something different.
This human race looks stupid, but they are really good at learning.
And they are full of desire for knowledge and exploration.
They have studied all the flowers, plants, rocks and soil in the ancestral land of the human race.
They even study themselves.
Compare different human races and study external shapes.
Cut open the stomach and head to study the internal organs.
This study has found the ultimate instinct - reproduction.
Speaking of reproduction, this may be the biggest feature of the human race.
They are really good at giving birth!
It has been less than ten thousand years since Nuwa created humans.
The human race has multiplied from one yuan to tens of millions.
It was okay at the beginning, because the innate human race did not reproduce as fast as other races.
Although the origin of the newly born acquired human race has decreased, its reproductive ability has been greatly improved, and conception has become easier and easier.
And because the origin of the acquired human race is becoming increasingly thin, the time of gestation has also been greatly shortened.
It is easier to conceive, the gestation time is greatly shortened, and there is no childbirth at this time, so the reproduction speed is naturally greatly increased.
What surprised Hongyun Zhenyuanzi was that although the origin of the newly born acquired human race was greatly reduced.
But their spirituality was not lost at all.
That is, the strength of the physical body is weakening, but the brain is still as good as before.
Because the innate human race is transformed by the Nine Heavens Xiran and Sanguang Shenshui refined by the Qiankun Ding, it is the same as other prehistoric innate creatures.
As long as they are not killed, they can cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm even if they eat and sleep.
It can be said that there is no limit to life span.
However, the newly born acquired human race is worse than the previous generation.
That is, after ten thousand years of reproduction, the newly born human race can't even live for a thousand years, and their physical bodies decay.
At this time, Zhenyuanzi knew what Di Jun asked him to do.
During the third sermon, Hongjun Daozu passed on the basic cultivation method of the immortal way to him with spiritual light in order to settle the cause and effect with him.
He was also canonized as the ancestor of earthly immortals.
After traveling in the human race for this period of time, he also sorted out some experience by comparing the spiritual inheritance of Hongjun Daozu with the later celestial race.
The acquired creatures without any inheritance are dominated by laws and rules all their lives without knowing it, and they are muddle-headed and waste their lives;
The smart ones among them perceive themselves, observe their peers, analyze and deduce, summarize and conclude, and derive the functions of various tissues and organs in the human body to maintain health and protect the body.
They maintain health and protect the body, but their life span does not increase much, so they begin to seek help from the outside.
Observe all things in the world, compare them with their own bodies, interact with the human body, experience their properties, summarize and conclude, and derive the properties of all things to make up for their own deficiencies and adjust their nature and life.
Under the adjustment of their own living habits and the supplementation of external objects, the originally weakened human race can still be free from all diseases, have a comfortable body, be full of spirit and energy.
Afterwards, different human races diverged in the path of cultivation according to their own conditions.
There are mainly three types: one is to strengthen the body, one is to cultivate the spirit, and one is to cultivate both the spirit and the life.
Based on the inheritance of the immortal way, Zhen Yuanzi combined the cultivation method explored by the acquired human race and created the basic method of immortal practice.
Guide the acquired human race into the conscious practice stage.
The first level is to refine the essence into qi: refine the nutrients into the subtle qi (essence), and the essence nourishes the nervous system.
Those who nourish the peripheral nerves focus on body training, and those who nourish the central nervous system focus on spirit training.
Those who nourish at the same time, cultivate both body and spirit.
The second level is to refine qi into spirit: the nervous system is nourished by the essence and gradually becomes stronger, breaking away from the original scattered state.
The peripheral nervous system gathers into one, which is the primordial spirit (yin spirit).
The peripheral nervous system controls the essence and qi to disperse into each cell of the flesh, and begins to separate significantly from the immortal qi training. This is the method of immortal body training.
The third level is to refine the spirit and return to the void: further temper the primordial spirit, begin to dissolve the flesh, and feed back the primordial spirit.
This is the return of the physical body to emptiness, and the refining of the spirit to Yang.
The affinity with the heaven and earth's vitality has greatly increased, and too much heaven and earth's vitality has been absorbed.
Although the immortal way is the foundation of the current heavenly way, the cultivation of immortals by living beings is orthodox.
However, the energy channel of the prehistoric world and the spiritual energy input into the prehistoric world are limited.
Too many low-level cultivators absorb the innate spiritual energy to practice, although they can screen out the good seedlings of cultivating immortals.
However, it will also occupy a lot of resources, causing those good seedlings to not have enough spiritual energy to enter a higher realm.
After all, the purpose of Pangu the great god opening up the prehistoric world is not to want all living beings to achieve the great way.
He wanted all the spirits to practice together. If one of them could achieve the Great Dao, it would be the fulfillment of his last wish.
Therefore, when more and more born spirits practice, the Heavenly Dao will naturally set restrictions.
When a spirit practices to the realm of refining the spirit and returning to the void, it will begin to trigger the restrictions of heaven and earth, produce 49 heavenly tribulations, and receive 36 heavenly thunders.
Wash away the impurities in the primordial spirit and transform into a yang spirit.
The fourth level of refining the void and combining the Dao: the physical body is dissolved, and the yin spirit is transformed into yang.
After 49 heavenly tribulations, the yang spirit is strong enough to break free from the constraints of the physical body and can perceive the laws of heaven and earth.
Until this time, the practicing spirits began to comprehend the laws.
As the practice deepens, it can disturb the laws of heaven and earth.
Because the laws are disturbed, the 59 heavenly tribulations are triggered, and 45 heavenly thunders are received.
At this time, the practitioner's primordial spirit is transformed into pure yang, which can withstand the nine heavenly strong winds, travel through the nine heavens, and become a celestial being.
Refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, and refining emptiness into the Dao, these four levels of cultivation are the foundation of immortal cultivation!
On this basis, practitioners can choose different laws according to their own cultivation direction.
The more creatures that practice the immortal way, the more laws that are entangled with the immortal way, and the stronger the heavenly way based on the immortal way.
The foundation of the immortal way that Zhen Yuanzi comprehended - the way of earthly immortals, is to cultivate good seedlings from the acquired creatures to transport the great way of cultivation laws for the immortal way.
According to the original historical trajectory, the witches and demons fought and the two races were destroyed.
The saints were born and taught all spirits.
Then the saints occupied the prehistoric world.
The Xuanmen immortal way flourished.
No matter which Xuanmen saint sect, the disciples must practice Zhen Yuanzi's way of earthly immortals before they can continue to practice the saintly Dao.
The disciples of each sect and the children of each tribe, except for the ancestors of their own sects and tribes, must worship the immortal ancestor Hongjun and the immortal enlightenment teacher Zhen Yuanzi.
This Zhen Yuanzi deserves the title of the ancestor of earthly immortals!
As the ancestor of earthly immortals, his status is equal to that of saints. As long as the heaven and earth are not destroyed and the immortal path is not destroyed, Zhen Yuanzi will be free from disasters and calamities!
