Chronicles of the Green Vine: A Mortal’s Path to Immortality

These cultivation methods are all basic Five Elements cultivation methods. Except for the Hao Yuan Gong, the inherited cultivation method of the Hao Yuan Sect, there is no difference from the cultivation methods outside.

The cultivation world has existed for hundreds of thousands of years from ancient times to the present. These widely spread cultivation methods have been tested by countless cultivators.

After an unknown number of years of evolution, these most basic cultivation methods have become very complete. Cultivating them is neutral and peaceful, and there is no danger.

The sect's inherited cultivation method, Hao Yuan Gong, is also evolved from this basis. The cultivators who practice this cultivation method only increase some spiritual power compared to other cultivators.

It is not a profound cultivation method. Some powerful cultivation methods have this effect.

In general, top-level cultivation methods, all kinds of methods, righteous paths, demonic paths, and many other cultivation methods are all evolved from these basic Five Elements cultivation methods.

For Qi Refining stage cultivators, cultivating basic cultivation methods will not go wrong as long as they follow the steps. If they want to enhance their strength, they can completely switch to advanced cultivation methods after the Foundation Establishment stage.

Zhang Ling directly skipped these basic Five Elements cultivation methods and looked at the second row. The books on it were all Five Elements spells, which could also be found outside, but the Five Elements spells collected here were more comprehensive.

The third row contained several thick books. Zhang Ling picked up a book called "Ling Yun's Travels" and started reading.

After reading for a while, Zhang Ling became immersed in it. This travelogue was recorded by a Nascent Soul stage cultivator named Ling Yunzi.

Moreover, this person was an ancient cultivator from ten thousand years ago and was also a rogue cultivator. This book recorded his life's experiences.

Zhang Ling immersed himself in it, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye. He regained his mind and then looked through other books.

In this way, he spent a whole day on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

Although these books did not help with cultivation, they gave him a clear understanding of the world he was in.

After reading several miscellanies and travelogues, he learned that the world they were in was called Yuan Ling Continent by cultivators. This was the name from 30,000 years ago, because 30,000 years ago, the Yuan Ling Continent was invaded by demons from another world.

The heavens and earth are not unique. In addition to the world where the Yuan Ling Continent is located, there are many other interfaces.

The most well-known to cultivators are the Spirit World, the Ancient Demon World, and the rumoredUnderworld.

The Spirit World is the upper realm directly under this world. According to legend, in ancient times, as long as one cultivated to the late stage of Spirit Transformation, they would be rejected by the interface and could only continue to cultivate by ascending to the Spirit World.

The Ancient Demon World is said to be an interface opposite to the Spirit World. The race living there is not the human race, but the Ancient Demon race. They are bloodthirsty and warlike. 30,000 years ago, they opened the space channel of this world and invaded the Yuan Ling Continent.

In the end, the ancient cultivators connected to the Spirit World and sought the support of the Spirit World to defeat the Ancient Demons who crossed the border.

The war was far beyond the imagination of the world, and the entire continent was shattered.

Countless cultivators and many blessed places of spiritual veins were destroyed. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth declined. Therefore, no Spirit Transformation stage cultivators have appeared in the past ten thousand years.

The shattered Yuan Ling Continent was divided into several regions, separated by the boundless sea. It is difficult to contact other regions.

The region where they are located was originally the north of the Yuan Ling Continent, so it is called the Northern Plains Cultivation World by the current cultivators.

The Cangyun Country where the Hao Yuan Sect is located, as well as the Tianyang Country and the Yuanfeng Country, are several countries in the Northern Plains Cultivation World. The strongest Yuanfeng Country is only barely considered a medium-sized country.

There are sixty to seventy countries like the three countries in the Northern Plains Cultivation World. The power of a sect in a super power is no weaker than the nine sects combined.

After understanding this information, Zhang Ling felt his weakness. The world is so big, and there are countless forces like the Nine Great Sects.

This made him feel a sense of urgency. As a small Qi Refining stage cultivator, he could lose his life at any time.

In the following days, he spent his time in the Scripture Pavilion. In addition to learning more about the world, he also found something that pleased him.

He found several ancient ancient sayings, which included several kinds of immortal texts. He found the words on the black paper and gold foil.

The silver characters on the black paper are called Ancient Immortal Text, and the characters on the gold foil are Ancient Seal Script. With this discovery, Zhang Ling copied these ancient sayings.

In the next half month, he studied in his stone house. As the strength of the cultivator increases, the energy is also gradually enhanced.

Therefore, most of them can have a photographic memory, and so is Zhang Ling, so he mastered two ancient characters in a short time.

With his translation and research, he also analyzed the information on the black paper and gold foil.

The back of the gold foil records a sword talisman secret technique in Ancient Seal Script. It says it is a sect secret technique of a sect called Heavenly Sword Sect.

He had never heard of the Heavenly Sword Sect. He could not find information about this sect in the sect notes. Ancient Seal Script is a commonly used text from 5,000 years ago to 10,000 years ago.

The sword talisman secret technique is a sword nurturing technique, also called sword planting technique. It is a secret method. It is divided into internal and external methods.

Jade talisman is an external secret method. According to different raw materials, the sword light nurtured is not the sword light cultivated by oneself.

Therefore, the sword light is generally difficult to control, but the cultivators of the Heavenly Sword Sect have refined the sword light nurtured in this way into a relatively stable sword talisman for attack.

The sword talisman is a one-time attack secret technique. The gold foil records several methods of refining sword talismans, and the power is different.

The small power sword light can only kill the Qi Refining first and second level cultivators, and the powerful sword talisman can easily kill the Foundation Establishment middle and late stage cultivators.

After reading it, Zhang Ling couldn't help showing a wry smile. The power of the sword talisman is completely based on the different materials, and the power is also different.

Now he is being threatened by the silver-haired old man. If he can refine a powerful sword talisman that can kill Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, he can also pose a certain threat to this person.

......

The silver characters on the black paper are Ancient Immortal Text, which is an even more ancient text. It records an unnamed spirit refining technique.

This is a secret technique for cultivating the soul. Zhang Ling was shocked after reading it.

Most cultivators focus on Qi refining, but in the world of cultivation, there are not only Qi refining techniques, but also body refining techniques and spirit refining techniques.

Qi refining techniques absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth, run the great and smallZhoutian, and refine the spiritual power into mana to continuously enhance their strength.

"The yin and yang of heaven and earth, the yang is the body and the yin is the soul. All cultivators cannot escape from refining Qi, preserving the spirit, and nourishing the essence. Borrowing the power of heaven and earth to go against the sky is the beginning of cultivation."

Body refining cultivators believe that the human body is the foundation of cultivators, and they cultivate the method of nourishing essence. They absorb spiritual power through the acupoints in the body to exercise the body.

This is another way of cultivation, and the spiritual power cultivated is mostly stored in the body. This group of cultivators is the ancient body refiners.

It is much more difficult to break through the shackles of the flesh than to simply refine Qi. This method of cultivation is often accompanied by great pain, and it was very popular in ancient times.

But after the ancient times, the spiritual power of heaven and earth changed greatly, and there are very few body refiners now.

The spirit refining technique is to cultivate the soul, which is the most mysterious. This kind of technique is the least, and cultivation is the most difficult.

And it is not cultivated alone.

The three treasures of essence, Qi, and spirit can summarize a person's state, and the same is true for cultivators. The three complement each other.

Whether it is the body or Qi refining, it is constantly enhancing one's state. If a person's essence and Qi are full, then his soul power will not be weak.

The ability of cultivators to give birth to divine consciousness and divine thoughts is also a manifestation of the strengthening of soul power. Therefore, as the cultivation base increases, the soul power of cultivators is gradually strengthened.

Some advanced techniques will also focus on the cultivation of the soul. But often the increase is very small, and there are very few techniques that can increase the soul power by 10% to 20% compared to cultivators of the same level.

The spirit refining technique recorded on the black paper is strange. There are only a thousand words of cultivation methods, which do not seem to be complete. Instead, it records many strange secret techniques.

These secret techniques are mostly related to the soul and divine thoughts. There are also a lot of messy cultivation assumptions and guesses. It seems that it is just a record of cultivators researching soul secret techniques.
