Fairy Tree

The few soul-devouring fire Gus that had lost their vital signs in front of them seemed to be in a state of extinction.

This state of annihilation is also a way to break through. Once you can wake up from the state of annihilation, you can definitely go one step further and enter the true level. In Xiao Lin's opinion, it is appropriate.

But the greater probability is to die completely in this state of silence, and return to dust to dust.

Whether it is the spiritual insects and beasts raised by the monks, or the demonic insects and demonic beasts in the world, they all follow the pyramid-style breakthrough model just like human monks.

Human cultivation, from Qi refining to foundation building to golden elixir to Nascent Soul, every time a great realm is improved, a large number of monks will be eliminated, and as the realm improves, the probability of elimination becomes greater.

Even if you want to cultivate a Nascent Soul, qualifications and hard work alone are far from enough. You also need some big enough opportunities. Of course, except for the Heavenly Spiritual Root and the legendary Fairy Spiritual Root, such people are favored by God. Smooth ride.

But it is not all smooth sailing for this kind of people. If they are not jealous of Heaven, they will be jealous of others. It is not easy to cultivate to Nascent Soul or even become a god in peace.

Xiao Lin looked at these soul-devouring fire Gus that were completely dead, and kept thinking in his heart. If it is really to be reborn through annihilation to achieve the purpose of evolution, then a large enough base is needed. .

In terms of the combat power of a single soul-devouring fire Gu, even if it reaches the true level, the combat power of a single one is limited. Most of these spiritual insects rely on astonishing numbers to achieve the effect of killing the enemy.

Xiao Lin was thinking whether he should continue to spawn some mortal-level Dzogchen Soul-Eating Fire Gu, so that after more of them devoured each other, the remaining Soul-Eating Fire Gu would enter this state of annihilation.

In order to increase the probability of destruction and 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 cultivating a true-level soul-devouring fire Gu.

Xiao Lin first exited the spirit beast bag and put the few soul-devouring fire poisons that were in a state of silence into a side room. Then he separated out more than 30,000 mortal-level perfect soul-devouring fire poisons. A quantity of more than 10,000 was put into the spirit beast bag.

After dividing them in this way, Xiao Lin entered the spirit wood space through meditation. In the spirit wood space, except for the various spiritual grasses growing gratifyingly, the small sapling in the center remained unchanged.

On the emerald green trunk about a foot high, there are two lush green leaves on top, and a light green dewdrop rolls on each green leaf.

On one side of the spiritual tree space, in a spiritual field enclosed by Xiao Lin, hundreds of green sandalwood grasses are growing gratifyingly. They are already at least 1,780 years old. It won't be long before they can be used again. Let’s refine a batch of Qi Yuan Dan.

As for the blood sesame fruit, it also grew bright red. If Xiao Lin hadn't restricted it to a small spiritual field, it would have spread long ago.

In addition, there is a separate spiritual field in Xiao Lin's spiritual field, with dozens of green four-leaf grass growing in it. At the air-travel trade fair in Ziyang Fairy City, he once relied on one of these four-leaf grass. Xiaocao, in exchange for a piece of blood gold that can enhance the level of the spiritual weapon.

It can be seen that the value of this four-leaf grass is probably not low. The third-level spiritual grass is the elixir for refining the third-level elixir. The third-level elixir is suitable for monks in the late stage of foundation building and the early stage of golden elixir to improve their cultivation. for.

For Xiao Lin now, it is not too urgent.

After inspecting these well-growing spiritual grasses, Xiao Lin turned his attention to the huge number of spiritual mist grasses and rejuvenation flowers. The number of these spiritual mist grasses and rejuvenation flowers was at least ten times more than the number of five elements spiritual grasses next to them.

Xiao Lin left some 20 or 30 Lingwu 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 rejuvenation flowers. Then he left the spirit tree space and threw at least half of the spirit mist grass and rejuvenation flowers into the spirit beast bag.

These spiritual herbs are enough to stimulate the devouring instinct of these soul-devouring fire Gus.

After doing all this, Xiao Lin left the spirit beast room, returned to the training room, and sat down on the futon.

After pondering for a moment, Xiao Lin closed his eyes. In the sea of ​​​​consciousness, the first chapter of the Mending Heaven Sutra resurfaced, and Xiao Lin began to study it carefully.

...

The entire Dancao Mountain is still calm and peaceful. However, two years ago, the cave trial started again, and some new faces were welcomed into the Dancao Mountain.

Just like the slightly immature Xiao Lin back then, these people came to Dancao Mountain full of longing. Perhaps, in their hearts, they all dreamed that one day they could build a foundation, form a pill, or even transform into an infant.

After all, they had gone through cruel competitions such as the Catacomb Trial to get to this point.

After Dancao Mountain changed the rules for issuing Foundation Establishment Pills, it did bring about some changes, that is, the power of the top ten cultivation families in Dancao Mountain gradually began to be weakened.

Some disciples from casual cultivating backgrounds have begun to emerge, and through the "Five Hell Illusion" trial, those who are determined and determined towards the Tao have a path to upwards, and because these people have a rock-like heart, they are making breakthroughs in the realm. It is easier to withstand all kinds of accidents and pains.

Therefore, a strange scene appeared in the entire Dancao Mountain. Among the monks who successfully built the foundation every year, more than one-third of the outer disciples were from casual cultivators. This was simply unimaginable before.

Before the opening of the Five Hells Illusion, there were very few outer disciples from casual cultivators who succeeded in building foundations every year. There were even embarrassing situations where no outer disciples from casual cultivators were able to build foundations for several years.

The main reason is that after the foundation-building pills issued by the sect are distributed by the major cultivating families that control the middle level of Dancao Mountain, very few of them can finally fall into the hands of the outer disciples who are casual cultivators.

The Five Hells Fantasy Trial is a rule set by the ancestor of Tianyi himself. Although the top ten cultivator families are dissatisfied, they can only accept it honestly. There is no other way. This is authority. Within a sect, Nascent Soul A monk is the absolute authority.

However, everything that happens in the outside world has nothing to do with Xiao Lin. His cave is still closed, and he is sitting cross-legged in the secret room, motionless, and this state has lasted for a full ten years.

Twenty years have passed since Xiao Lin returned to Dancao Mountain to practice in seclusion. In the first ten years, he devoted all his energy to comprehending the first scripture of the Mending Heaven Sutra. The scriptures of the Mending Heaven Sutra are obscure and difficult to understand. Extremely profound.

Xiao Lin believed that he was not a dull person, but it took him three or four years to understand the cultivation method of this scripture. After understanding the cultivation method of the Mending Sky Sutra, Xiao Lin really I was happy, and then I couldn’t wait to start practicing.

This practice lasted for five years, and during the process of practice, he also discovered a secret hidden in this scripture, a secret related to the secret realm of Langhuan.

Five years later, Xiao Lin's first-level Mending Heaven Sutra finally entered the realm of Xiaocheng. At this time, his spiritual consciousness had more than doubled in strength and range. , which can probably cover a range of three to four hundred feet.

After practicing the first level of the Heaven-Mending Sutra and entering the realm of Xiaocheng, the coverage area of ​​his spiritual consciousness has reached more than 600 feet.

This distance is very close to the spiritual consciousness coverage of the Foundation-Building Dzogchen cultivator, which makes Xiao Lin very happy. The Mending Sky Sutra is indeed a strange technique, and it can actually strengthen one's own spiritual consciousness through practice.

It has to be said that this technique has subverted Xiao Lin's cognition, and after completing the first level of the Mending Heaven Sutra, Xiao Lin found that his cultivation progress began to slow down, which made Xiao Lin doubt whether he The practice is wrong.

After reading the first scripture countless times, Xiao Lin was convinced that he had not practiced it wrong. It seemed that this was also the characteristic of this technique. Thinking of this, Xiao Lin no longer struggled.

After that, Xiao Lin spent a fixed two or three hours every day meditating and practicing the Mending Heaven Sutra, and spent most of the rest of his time practicing the Xuanqi Cold Flame Jue.

As spring comes and autumn comes, Dancao Mountain is evergreen all year round, but as the seasons change, subtle changes will also occur. In the valley where Xiaolin Cave is located, a kind of maple bamboo grows. In late autumn, the leaves of this bamboo grow It will turn blood red.

During Xiao Lin's retreat, this maple bamboo turned red a full twenty times.

Twenty years, for ordinary mortals, may be a lifetime for some people, and for most people, it is also a long time.

But for cultivators, it is just a matter of seconds.

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 covering 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 man who had been dead for decades.

Eight years ago, after undergoing the sixth mana tempering, Xiao Lin finally entered the sixth level of Xuanqi Cold Flame Jue, and was about to begin his second return to Yuan. Returning to Yuan will not be reborn in annihilation. Die in silence.

This is the most profound sentence in Xiao Lin's memory in Xuanqi Cold Flame Jue, and it is also the opening sentence of the general outline. Once returned to the Yuan, all the energy and spirit of the monk's body will be completely restrained, without any wastage.

And every ounce of energy and energy in the monk's body sank into the sea of ​​consciousness, hitting the bottleneck with all his strength.

This situation is extremely dangerous. It's like a war. If you have already prepared a way out for yourself, once the war fails, you can follow the way you have prepared. At least you can preserve your strength and make a comeback.

Another way is to cut off all escape routes and go all out. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent. In this case, once you fail, the final outcome will be complete destruction.

Xuanqi Cold Flame Jue is exactly the latter one, go all out, and either be reborn in annihilation or die in annihilation. There are two lines between life and death, only choose one.
