Chapter 277: Shuofang 8 Realm
However, this would require a long time that could easily be measured in thousands of years, and Xuan Zhi, who only had a hundred and fifty years left to live, would not be able to wait for this day.
Having said this, the Taoist's real and illusory figure paused for a moment, and then he smiled carefreely.
“Even if the body is intact, it will only be a few dozen years longer than it is now.
Apart from the indefinite retreat, it is difficult to say what is gained or lost.
It's better to stop thinking about it. If I were at the late stage of the Nascent Soul now, I would probably be like Yuan Heng, and inevitably pursue the ethereal path of transformation into a spirit."
Yuan Heng is the Taoist name of the current headmaster, and according to seniority, he should be called Uncle Xuan Zhi. He is always in seclusion, and has only appeared a few times in the past two hundred years.
According to Xuan Zhi Daojun himself, he achieved the Golden Elixir at the age of 300 and reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul at the age of 570.
At this level, the physical body has already developed a hint of divinity.
It will no longer be like the process from Qi Refining to Foundation Building, where as one gets older one’s Qi and blood declines, the chance of a breakthrough becomes smaller and smaller.
After achieving the Nascent Soul stage, one can maintain the peak state until death.
In other words, with his talent in refining his Nascent Soul for more than 400 years, there is a slight possibility that he can achieve the Divine Transformation.
This is mainly because the chasm of the Spiritual Transformation stage is difficult to cross, and the late Nascent Soul stage can be said to be a foregone conclusion.
Chen Yu's heart trembled, but he didn't feel that surprised.
The Tianyan Sect's heritage is so profound that the Lower Nine Sects are not as simple as they appear.
Although Xuan Zhi's talent is praised as rare in ten generations in the Changqing lineage, he is still a little behind the leaders of previous generations.
However, since Tianyan Sect is the leader of the righteous path and the Demon King of Tanzhou has fled far away, how could he have fallen to the point of losing his physical body?
Facing Chen Yu's doubts, Taoist Xuan Zhi did not shy away.
It turns out that the Tianyan Sect does not have any major enemies, so one can practice in peace within the sect, but the precious practice resources have to be fought for by the disciples themselves.
However, the secret realms of famous mountains not only have rare treasures, but also undercurrents.
How can human power stop those Jedi where earth, fire, water and wind have been raging for tens of millions of years?
The danger involved is beyond words.
The terrain of Tanzhou is high in the north and low in the south, and most of the major rivers flow to the southeast.
The north is covered by ice all year round and is sparsely populated.
Going deeper, even low-level cultivators would find it difficult to resist, and only a small number of demon beasts that have adapted to the extreme cold can reproduce and thrive here.
However, in this barren land, there is a rare infant-forming creature called the Purple Ice Orchid.
Take a piece of branch of eight hundred year old orchid, refine it into elixir and take it, it can speed up the growth of Nascent Soul by 30%.
Such treasures can only be carried by a natural place.
"There are smaller formations within the larger formation, and the formations are intricate but full of murderous intent.
Seeing that he could get the elixir by breaking the formation, he was caught in the trap without realizing it.
The divine light of unparalleled power pierced through the head and torso, crushing the internal organs into pieces.
The bones of the Nascent Soul Realm scattered like paper, and were instantly ground into extremely fine powder. "
At this moment, Xuan Zhi Daojun's aura was extremely calm, as if he was not talking about himself.
Fortunately, Yuanying had his own magic weapon to protect him, and at the critical moment he was able to escape hundreds of miles away.
Fortunately, he was rescued by his fellow disciples, who brought him back to the sect, and thus he was able to survive.
Then the previous headmaster took out the rare stone treasured in the sect and helped him to switch to the ghost way and stabilize his soul and body.
Chen Yu could not empathize with the difficulties and twists on the road to seeking financial support.
His most dangerous moment was when he swallowed a red fruit of an old age. The surging spiritual energy almost broke his bones.
The spirit puppet had been in danger many times outside, and had even narrowly escaped the crisis of being completely destroyed.
After all, he knew that this was just a fake body, and the fear between life and death was nothing more than the loss of a wisp of consciousness.
Although his account was not as dangerous as that of Xuan Zhi Dao Jun, he also had his own topics to talk about.
Chen Yu has only been in this world for a few decades, but he has probably seen and experienced more than cultivators who are hundreds of years old.
Yuanying cultivators can certainly sit back and watch the change of dynasties, which is a depth and breadth that ordinary people cannot achieve.
But compared with Chen Yu, who doesn't have to worry about money, friends, and land, and has several pairs of eyes patrolling around for him, it still pales in comparison.
He just casually talked about what he had seen and heard from various places, and the other party exclaimed that it was wonderful.
However, some of them are just groundless legends, so diverse that it is difficult to tell whether they are true or false.
Behind Xuan Zhi is the systematic inheritance of the Tianyan Sect, and some of the sect's classics that he had read were enough to identify this.
"Beyond Tanzhou, there are still three thousand states.
It’s a pity that I have never been to Zhongzhou in the world to see the demeanor of the Divine Transformation Realm with my own eyes.”
Chen Yu spoke slowly, verifying his own experience with what the other party knew.
Outside Zhongzhou is the spiritual world, which is between the illusory fairyland and the current world of cultivating immortals.
This world is round in shape and square in earth. Going around from north to east, it is divided into eight realms: Shuo, Yan, Qi, Heng, Li, Xi, Yun, and Fang.
Therefore, it was referred to as the Eight Territories of Shuofang, and Tanzhou belonged to Heng Territory.
The three thousand states are just a figment of the imagination. The number of states under the jurisdiction of each realm is incalculable, and to a Jindan cultivator, it can be said to be infinitely vast.
Legend has it that in ancient times, the eight realms were originally one, and the spiritual world was not divided.
However, most cultivators, even the Golden Core True Lords, have never been anywhere outside of Tanzhou.
Those rural cultivators had never heard of such bizarre and shocking theories.
I thought the world of cultivating immortals was just a few tens of thousands of miles away, and anything beyond that was just the ramblings of foolish people.
The man and the ghost chatted about everything under the sun, and gradually returned to their own bodies.
Chen Yu was amazed at how solid this soul body was. Although it was slightly inferior to the physical body of a cultivator of the same level, it was much stronger than the Nascent Soul.
Taoist Xuan Zhi disagreed and said with a smile, "It's just a lingering breath."
Having lost his flesh and blood as a support and being bound by the shackles of a spiritual being, his cultivation has not improved at all over the years.
With only a ghost cultivation technique at hand, you can only sit back and watch the years go by.
As he spoke, he conjured up an ancient scripture. This was not the original version of the technique, but with the help of the Nascent Soul technique, it was so real that it could be mistaken for the real thing.
The ghost cultivators did this out of necessity, so it is not considered a secret of the sect.
But the skills are precious and will not be shown to others easily.
Chen Yu took it and looked through it. The title of this book is The True Scripture of Changing the Sun, and it is a method of martial arts that can lead to the state of incarnation.
By constantly tempering the spiritual consciousness and absorbing the yin and yang energies, he can eventually re-condense his physical body.
This is also an essential step for ghost immortals to witness human immortals.
This technique is certainly not so perfect. It stops at the stage of tempering the soul to the initial stage of transformation into a spirit, and reuniting with the physical body is only a guess.
After all, a situation like that of Taoist Xuan Zhi is rather special. As long as a Nascent Soul cultivator can protect the two vital parts of the upper and middle Dantian, he will not have to transform into a ghost immortal.
After the spirit puppet read it, the ancient scripture turned into nothingness.
Regardless of what he had gained, Chen Yu suddenly asked him, "Did you ever use any spiritual items to prolong your life?"
"I am already a rotten tree, why do I need a spiritual object to prolong my life?"
"That's good." As he spoke, a green object the size of a soybean popped out from his fingertips. It turned out to be the fourth-level Yi Wood Spirit Gold.
Xuan Zhi was also lucky, as the spirit puppet did not carry spirit gold with it.
I happened to find a mineral vein on the way here and extracted less than ten square inches of Yi Mu Ling Jin.
This spiritual gold has not been tempered by heavenly thunder, but it is already a rare treasure.
Moreover, heavenly thunder is an extremely yang thing, so it is still a question whether the soul or body will be destroyed by it.
Spiritual gold is mysterious and can directly act on the soul and body. After being used by a Nascent Soul cultivator, it can extend the lifespan by more than forty years.
