Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

As Chu Chen thought, Changsheng Gong is a method for cultivating immortals, a method for the Qi training stage.

Changsheng Gong mentions the first three realms of the immortal world, the Qi training stage, the foundation building stage, and the golden elixir stage.

Among them, the Qi training stage is divided into twelve levels, the first level of Qi training is the lowest, and the twelfth level of Qi training is the great perfection of the Qi training stage. Changsheng Gong has a total of twelve levels, corresponding to the twelfth level of Qi training.

"Yes, before the foundation building stage, there is no need to look for other methods."

Chu Chen put away Changsheng Gong with satisfaction.

With Changsheng Gong, he can complete the job change and officially become a cultivator.

Pick up the travel notes of Jinhua Taoist on the side.

As the name suggests, this is a travel note written by Jinhua Taoist, recording what he saw and heard in Dayan Kingdom and other places, as well as his life deeds.

Jinhua Taoist was born in a small immortal cultivation family in Hanbei Kingdom. He embarked on the immortal path and practiced Changsheng Gong since he was a child. Later, his family suffered a disaster, and he had to leave Hanbei Kingdom and wander around.

He has been to many countries around Hanbei, and finally crossed the Hengduan Mountains to Dayan in the east of Hanbei, and settled in Jinhua Mountain in Heishi County.

The experiences written by Jinhua Taoist in his travel notes opened Chu Chen's eyes and gave him a clearer understanding of the world of immortal cultivation.

"In the ancient times, the world of immortal cultivation was full of spiritual energy, and there were many powerful people. But since when, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has become thin, and the world of immortal cultivation has declined. Today's world of immortal cultivation is not even one ten-thousandth of the prosperity in ancient times."

Chu Chen saw this and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Why did the spiritual energy become thinner?

Jinhua Taoist had the same doubts as Chu Chen, and soon found the answer.

"When I was young, I asked the elders in the foundation-building stage of my clan why the world of immortal cultivation declined. The elders of the clan said that this might be related to a war in ancient times that affected the entire world of immortal cultivation."

The elders of Jinhua Taoist's foundation-building stage did not know the cause of this war. To be precise, most people in the world of immortal cultivation did not know. They only knew that all the top sects in the world of immortal cultivation participated in this war.

After the war, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth began to slowly dissipate, becoming thinner day by day.

Most of the spiritual energy gathered in areas where spiritual veins existed, or some rare spiritual lands.

Needless to say, the areas where spiritual veins existed, spiritual veins can generate spiritual energy autonomously, and are the main source of spiritual energy between heaven and earth. According to the size of the spiritual veins, they are divided into four levels: small, medium, large, and extra-large.

The reasons for the formation of spiritual lands vary. They may be naturally formed, or they may be formed after countless years of nurturing by cultivators who set up high-level spirit gathering arrays, or they may be formed by the gathering of some natural spiritual objects.

However, compared with the area where the spiritual vein exists, the spiritual land does not produce spiritual energy on its own. When the spiritual energy is exhausted, this spiritual land will become a dead land.

The spiritual veins and spiritual lands between heaven and earth are mostly occupied by immortal sects and immortal families.

"There are spiritual veins in Dayan. Although there are spiritual lands, they are all very small spiritual lands. They are regarded as places without spiritual energy by the immortal world and few people go there."

As Chu Chen had guessed before, there are no immortal sects or immortal families in Dayan, and even there are very few independent cultivators. This is because Dayan has no spiritual veins and medium-sized spiritual lands.

Spiritual energy is the foundation of immortal cultivation. If the immortal cultivator does not have enough spiritual energy concentration to support it, his cultivation will not make any progress, and it may even cause his cultivation to fall.

The higher the cultivation, the greater the impact.

Any immortal cultivator with a little cultivation is unwilling to stay in Dayan for too long. Only some immortal cultivators who are avoiding disasters and obsessed with the world will choose to stay in Dayan.

For example, Jinhua Taoist found a small spiritual land in Jinhua Mountain, and then he established Jinhua Taoist Temple here.

Unfortunately, this small spiritual land can only barely maintain Jinhua Taoist's cultivation, and can no longer provide him with more help. Jinhua Taoist can only venture into the Hengduan Mountains.

"There is a medium-sized spiritual vein in the Hengduan Mountains, which breeds countless spiritual medicines. However, it is occupied by the demon nest. If you venture into it, there will be many dangers. Otherwise, why would the cultivation of our casual cultivators be so difficult?"

It can be seen that Jinhua Taoist wrote this sentence with a strong sense of unwillingness.

"Demon Nest?"

Chu Chen's eyes condensed. This name is not a force on the human side.

Continue to read, as expected, the demon nest is a force established by two foundation-building demons, occupying the Hengduan Mountains, and the spiritual medicines bred in it have become the things of the demon nest.

Ordinary cultivators who want to search for spiritual medicines can only venture into the Hengduan Mountains and look for spiritual medicines under the nose of the demon nest. Once exposed, there is only one end: death.

The demon nest did not do anything extreme. It set up the Ten Thousand Demons Market at the foot of the Hengduan Mountains and allowed human cultivators to enter the market and establish transactions with the demon nest.

But the demon nest was greedy. Ordinary casual cultivators could not afford the spiritual medicine of the demon nest. Stealing spiritual medicine has never stopped.

"The Ten Thousand Demons Market, maybe I can go and see it in the future."

Chu Chen wanted to go to the Ten Thousand Demons Market to take a look. Until now, he had not seen a single spirit.

This should also be because of the spiritual energy. Without the nourishment of spiritual energy, spirits cannot be born in the outside world.

Of course, he would not go now. At least he would wait until he had enough cultivation before going to the Ten Thousand Demons Market.

"What is this?"

Chu Chen raised his eyebrows. Jinhua Taoist also talked about the connection between martial arts and cultivation in his travel notes.

"The origin of martial arts has long been untraceable. However, the existence of martial arts must be a powerful person, who opened a door to the immortal way for those without spiritual roots."

If mortals want to practice the cultivation method of immortality, they must have spiritual roots.

Those with spiritual roots can directly feel the spiritual energy floating between heaven and earth and absorb it.

Without spiritual roots, one cannot set foot on the path of immortality.

Fortunately, there are powerful people who established the martial arts, making it possible for those without spiritual roots to embark on the immortal path.

As long as the 'Godly Bridge of Heaven and Earth' can be opened and the innate realm is broken through, even those without spiritual roots can sense the existence of spiritual energy and practice immortality techniques.

According to the realm of martial arts in the secular world, the innate master is already at the limit of martial arts.

If one reaches the peak of Xiantian realm in cultivation, the way forward will be completely cut off.

But as long as the innate master obtains the immortality cultivation technique, he can switch to the immortality cultivation technique and become a monk.

"The innate realm of martial arts is equivalent to the fourth to seventh levels of Qi training in the world of immortality."

Jinhua Taoist also mentioned the correspondence between martial arts and immortality.

The early stage of Xiantian corresponds to the fourth level of Qi training, the middle stage of Xiantian corresponds to the fifth level of Qi training, the late stage of Xiantian corresponds to the sixth level of Qi training, and the peak Xiantian corresponds to the seventh level of Qi training.

Under the Xiantian, skin refining, bone refining, and marrow refining correspond to the first to third levels of Qi training.

This is just a simple comparison. In a real comparison of fighting ability, the immortal way is still stronger than the martial way.

The monks have many means, such as talismans, magic weapons, spells, etc., which are far beyond the imagination of warriors.

For example, if a cultivator at the fourth level of Qi training takes out a flying sword talisman, he can overwhelm an innate master and even kill him easily.

Chu Chen once killed the King of Wei with a flying sword talisman.

"Martial arts should still have potential."

Chu Chen did not think that martial arts was necessarily weaker than immortality. Thinking of some fantasy novels he had read in his previous life, martial arts should have the potential to be on par with immortality.

However, the martial arts in this world have obviously not developed to this point yet.

so.

Chu Chen decided to turn to the path of immortality.
