The Sword Master God's Journey to Face Slapping

The world where Xuanyuan was born is a world where the cultivation civilization is prevalent. Hundreds of thousands of years have passed since the historical records. However, even after such a long time, the cultivators in the cultivation world have not explored every corner of this world, and they do not know every secret of this world in detail.

Because this cultivation world is so vast and boundless, even for a cultivator in the Mahayana period, it takes nearly a thousand years to fly from one end of this cultivation world to the other. It takes so much time just to fly through, not to mention the years it takes to walk through and explore every place in this world.

This is something that requires a long time and strong strength to accomplish, because the world of cultivation is not only vast and boundless, but also full of hidden crises and threats. If you don't have a strong strength, let alone traveling all over the world of cultivation, you may fall somewhere as soon as you take a step, and you won't have the chance to set foot in the entire world of cultivation.

Although this world is a place where cultivation civilization prevails, all kinds of cultivation methods have developed to the peak, whether it is magic cultivation, sword cultivation, alchemy cultivation, talisman cultivation, body cultivation or Buddhist cultivation, the entire world of cultivation can be called a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending, and each school has its own unique way. However, to say that this world is full of cultivators is also a joke.

Not everyone can embark on the path of cultivation and start practicing, and not everyone is qualified to practice. If you want to embark on the path of cultivation and want to draw spiritual energy into your body, you must first have certain qualifications, and this qualification is "spiritual root". Only those who have spiritual roots have the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation and can start practicing. People without spiritual roots cannot even sense the existence of spiritual energy.

Spiritual root is a special wisdom root stored in the human body. It can be understood as everyone's natural affinity for spiritual energy and natural control over various forces. Spiritual roots are born. People with spiritual roots will have wisdom roots rooted in their dantian at birth, while those without spiritual roots will have no wisdom roots rooted in their dantian at birth.

Whether you have spiritual roots and what kind of spiritual roots you have are fixed attributes for everyone at birth.

According to different attributes, spiritual roots have five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, as well as variant spiritual roots such as thunder, wind and ice; and according to the purity and complexity of spiritual roots, from the best single spiritual root, to the slightly inferior double spiritual roots, to three spiritual roots, four spiritual roots and the lowest five spiritual roots, there are also quite a few classifications, each with its own characteristics.

Among all spiritual root qualifications, the best spiritual root is naturally a single spiritual root of each attribute. This kind of spiritual root qualification is known as the heavenly spiritual root. From this reputation, we know that once a cultivator with the heavenly spiritual root qualification starts to practice, the speed is really a thousand miles a day, far exceeding ordinary spiritual roots. Every person with the heavenly spiritual root qualification is the object of scramble for by major sects and schools.

Among mortals, the number of people with spiritual roots is only one in ten thousand. Among the one in ten thousand people who have spiritual roots and cultivation qualifications, most of them are five or four spiritual roots, which are of inferior quality. Even three spiritual roots are one in a hundred, two spiritual roots are one in a thousand, and single spiritual roots are one in ten thousand, which is rare in a century.

Just from these data, we can know how precious and rare the single spiritual root is. It is not without reason that it is called the heavenly spiritual root. Once people with such qualifications as the heavenly spiritual root appear in the world of cultivation, they will really cause a lot of competition and scramble among many sects.

Because everyone knows that the cultivation speed of single spiritual roots is extremely fast. They are naturally very sensitive to spiritual power. The speed of absorbing spiritual energy for cultivation is several times that of other spiritual roots. As long as they don't die, maybe just a period of cultivation, a disciple with a single spiritual root can grow into the backbone of the sect. This is definitely a business that can make money without losses.

However, the fact that single spiritual roots are so precious does not mean that without such excellent qualifications as single spiritual roots, one cannot go far in the cultivation path and cannot cultivate to a higher level. Those who have spiritual roots, even the most inferior five spiritual roots, can also practice and sense spiritual energy, but the purer the spiritual roots, the faster they absorb spiritual energy.

Moreover, in the later stages of the path of cultivation, the pure spiritual root cultivation aptitude is no longer an important determining factor. Spiritual roots are indeed the attributes that everyone is born with, but this does not mean that spiritual roots cannot be changed or refined from being mixed to being purer. In fact, there are many ways to purify spiritual roots in the world of cultivation.

It is not that those with excellent spiritual roots can eventually grow into powerful people who can intimidate others. Excellent spiritual roots allow cultivators to absorb spiritual energy faster, but in fact, they only allow cultivators to practice faster in the early stages. The later the spiritual roots are, the less important they are. What is more important is character, perseverance, luck and persistence. The path of cultivation is originally more difficult as time goes on.

However, no matter how unimportant spiritual roots are in the later stages of cultivation, and no matter how it is only a non-primary criterion, at the very beginning, when just embarking on the path of cultivation, spiritual root aptitude is still a very important means of measurement. Every sect prefers to accept disciples with excellent spiritual roots, and although disciples with slightly worse aptitudes will also be accepted, their treatment is far inferior.

Because it is not easy to detect whether a newly accepted disciple has a firm mind and outstanding perseverance, and these two items will only show their effects and effects in the later stages. It is really useless to pay more attention in the early stage. On the contrary, outstanding spiritual roots can be detected very easily, and in the early stages of cultivation, those with excellent spiritual roots can practice very quickly.

Those who are born with excellent spiritual roots are more likely to get the opportunity to climb up, while those with inferior spiritual roots, even if they are lucky enough to embark on the path of cultivation, will have to spend ten or a hundred times more effort to catch up with the cultivation speed of those with outstanding spiritual roots. And even if you can catch up with the cultivation speed of others through hard work, the cultivation resources obtained are far less than those of Tianlinggen monks.

Let’s just talk about the simplest data. A monk with a single spiritual root can absorb spiritual energy twice as fast as a monk with a double spiritual root. The double spiritual root is one and one-half of the three spiritual roots, and the third spiritual root is the fourth spiritual root. Twice as fast as the four spiritual roots, the four spiritual roots are slightly faster than the five spiritual roots. When accumulated in this way, how many times can a single spiritual root absorb spiritual energy as fast as a five spiritual root monk?

The gap is so far apart. If a monk with five spiritual roots wants to catch up with a monk with single spiritual roots, it will definitely not be possible overnight.

If the monks with single spiritual roots are equally as diligent and conscientious, then in the same short period of time, it would be impossible for the monks with five spiritual roots to catch up with the monks with single spiritual roots. It is possible for the monks with single spiritual roots to go from the Qi refining period to the foundation building. It only takes one year, but the Wulinggen monk may have worked hard for twenty years and still not be able to build a foundation. How can this situation be so different that it can be easily overcome?

And under such circumstances, in such a cultivation atmosphere and environment, Xuan Yuan, who at that time was just a beggar wandering around in the mortal world without a father or mother, without even a name, had some expectations, With uneasiness and confusion, I stepped into the world of cultivation.

Once you go, you will never return. Since then, after practicing Taoism for three thousand years, Xuan Yuan has grown step by step from a wandering orphan in the mortal world to a mountain that no one can compare with and no one can cross in the world of cultivation. He stands there silently, silently, But it has become a monument in the world of cultivation that others can only look up to.

However, at the very beginning, Xuan Yuan stepped into the world of cultivation from the mortal world, not to seek immortality, nor to pursue some heavenly principles. The reason why Xuan Yuan, who was just a young man at that time, walked all the way to the At that time, major sects in the world of cultivation held Dharma gatherings to recruit disciples. In fact, the original reason was just—

He wants to live.

That's all.

I want to become strong, no longer bullied, no longer living precariously, no longer afraid of death that may come at any time, I want to use strong power to protect myself, defend my future life, and let myself live the life I really want. I want to live a life where I want to decide and control my own life, and I want to be able to act by myself throughout my life.

At the beginning, Xuan Yuan just thought so.

So when he got a jade slip by chance that recorded the basic situation of the world of cultivation, and after learning that the monks from the world of cultivation would come to the mortal world to recruit disciples and there would be a Dharma gathering, Xuan Yuan made a desperate move He took the jade slip that was the introduction to the world of cultivation and rushed to the place where the Dharma Assembly was held thousands of miles away.

Every few years, the world of cultivation recruits disciples from the mortal world, hoping to select disciples with the qualifications and spiritual roots to cultivate immortality from the large number of residents of the mortal world. It has to be said that at every Dharma gathering, the cultivators who come to recruit disciples are always able to find a few rare "pearls" among the many "fish eyes".

It is precisely because there is something gained every time, and every time the sect succeeds in picking up the leaks and finds a few fish with outstanding spiritual roots among the ordinary mortals who come to attend the Dharma conference, so even if every Dharma conference is held, it is quite troublesome. The message needs to be conveyed to all places in the secular world, but the cultivation world has always maintained the practice of holding Dharma gatherings and has never cut off Dharma gatherings.

This was the case with the Dharma Conference that Xuan Yuan attended. It was held by various sects in order to maintain the vitality of the sect and to find a few hidden geniuses among the many mortals. It's just that although Xuan Yuan did attend the Dharma gathering, he was not the kind of pearl that was found. It can only be said that he was not a fish eye.

At the ceremony, Xuanyuan also underwent a spiritual root test. However, it was very regrettable that he was not a genius with outstanding talents. Xuanyuan had neither a heavenly spiritual root nor a single spiritual root, but was just very ordinary and mediocre. It’s just the three spiritual roots.

It is actually quite easy to join the sect with the qualifications of three spiritual roots, because geniuses like single spiritual roots and double spiritual roots are not very common. On the contrary, they are very few in number and cannot be easily found. If they are very common, they will not be able to find them easily. It wouldn't be called a pearl, let alone a word like "a fish that slipped through the net".

Among the disciples accepted by various sects, the three spiritual roots are actually more common. The qualifications of the three spiritual roots are medium. The number of disciples can be said to be more or less. This is the most common qualification among the vast number of outer sect disciples. Xuanyuan successfully joined the Sword Sect at the Dharma Assembly with his qualifications of the Three Spiritual Roots, and became an ordinary outer disciple of the Sword Sect.

From here, the path of cultivation truly begins.
