Chapter 352: Cultivation
Chapter 352 Cultivation
Sitting in the moonlight, thinking back to the classics he had seen on the cliffs behind the Samsara Peak, he first circulated the Qi in his body for a large circle, and then looked inside. All the eight meridians in his body had been opened up, and the meridians were connected to each other like rivers. The cool Qi flowed slowly in the meridian rivers like river water, and after traveling through the whole body, it gathered again in a small vortex in the Dantian.
The cultivation of Yin-Yang Qiankun Dao had reached a bottleneck. His foundation was not very solid. In just a few months, he quickly rose from the fourth level of the peak of the sea of gods to the sixth level of the peak of the soul, jumping two levels.
The cultivation was high, but the disadvantage of unstable foundation was highlighted at this moment. Ye Xiaochuan studied it carefully and felt that if he practiced step by step, he would definitely not be able to break through the shackles and reach the seventh level of the out-of-body state in three or five months. It should take at least one year.
The Duantian Cliff battle lasted only three months, and he really wanted to go to Duantian Cliff to show off his skills. So at this moment, the Netherworld Ghost Art Cultivation Classics he saw in the Ice Cave appeared in his mind unconsciously.
The thousands of words in the whole article have long been imprinted in his blood, and he can't forget them at all. At this moment, these mysterious words seem to have turned into tadpoles, drilling into his soul.
He shook his head, unwilling to think about these seductive and mysterious words, but there seemed to be a voice in his heart calling him.
Cultivators are naturally irresistible to mysterious classics, and Ye Xiaochuan is not the kind of gentleman with a firm mind. After scratching his head, he remembered what Situ Feng said during the day.
When a righteous person practices evil, the evil method is also righteous.
When an evil person practices righteousness, the righteous method is also evil.
There is no distinction between good and evil in the world, only the human heart can distinguish between good and evil.
"You're right. As long as it's used properly, what's the difference between good and evil? Moreover, the text of this Netherworld Ghost Art seems to be all about the cultivation of the righteous and bright way. I don't see any insidious cultivation methods in it!"
At this moment, Ye Xiaochuan finally broke through the demon barrier in his heart and began to face the mysterious ghost art that was deeply imprinted in his mind.
He really didn't feel that there was anything insidious about the ghost art. The whole text was about the extremely mysterious way of refining souls. There was no record of killing, sucking ghost spirits, and practicing soul-devouring ghost weapons. It was very different from the various insidious and vicious things that the teachers and seniors said about the ghost way over the years.
In fact, his feeling was right. The magic cult's skills basically all came from the classic heavenly book Tianmo Chapter, and the ghost art was only integrated into it eight hundred years ago.
The original name of the Demon Cult was the Light Holy Fire Cult. More than 4,000 years ago, it was just a sect of cultivation, just like the righteous Cangyun Sect. The magic skills of the Demon Cult that the Heavenly Demon Patriarch practiced were not as evil as the current ones.
It was only after the Heavenly Demon Patriarch passed away that his descendants did not live up to expectations and gradually embarked on the evil path.
Until the death of Yue Shiyin, the last leader of the Demon Cult, the Demon Cult was divided into several forces, including the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Hehuan Sect, the Shura Sect and the Savage Holy Temple.
These factions all wanted to swallow up other factions and unify the Holy Cult. There were undercurrents in the sect and constant killing.
In this environment, in order to be able to strengthen the faction of their own faction faster, they could only find another way and take shortcuts to increase their own strength in a short time.
For example, the "Hehuan Treasure Mirror" of the Hehuan Sect, the "Henan Demon Eternal Record" of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and the "Blood Soul Jue" of the Shura Sect all appeared after Yue Shiyin's death.
Although these skills and magical powers are all evolved from the magic book, they have long been separated from the essence of the text in the book. In order to forcibly improve their cultivation in a short period of time, they have all incorporated evil techniques such as soul-eating, soul-stealing, and blood-refining that violate the laws of nature.
Today's Bright Holy Fire Sect is completely different from when the Heavenly Demon Ancestor was alive more than 4,000 years ago.
These evil skills are indeed very helpful for the cultivation of Taoism in a short period of time, and they are extremely powerful.
For the fifth level of the realm of controlling objects and flying swords, if the cultivators of the same realm fight alone with similar magic weapons and spiritual power, the disciples of the Demon Sect can crush the disciples of the righteous path.
In the battle between the righteous and demon disciples of the same level, except for the Cangyun Sect, which practices the powerful sword, and a few disciples of the sect can fight against the disciples of the Demon Sect head-on, most of the disciples of the righteous path are far inferior to the disciples of the Demon Sect. This has been an indisputable fact for thousands of years.
It is precisely because of this rapid training of disciples in the early and middle stages that the Demon Cult can recover from a serious injury every time.
For example, in the battle of Piaomiao Pavilion a hundred years ago, the Demon Cult lost more than half of its members. In just a hundred years, it has recovered to its peak state. This terrifying recovery speed is unmatched by any sect of the righteous path.
There are advantages and disadvantages. Since the Demon Cult cultivators rely on strange techniques such as Soul Devouring Blood Refining to forcibly improve their cultivation in the early stages, their foundation is unstable. In the later stages, the progress of cultivation will be very slow.
Especially after reaching the eighth level of the Spiritual Silence realm, the disadvantages will gradually become apparent.
First, the cultivation level increases slowly.
Second, the backlash of the evil spirit of the heart demon.
Throughout the ages, there are not many Demon Cult masters who can have a good end. Almost most of the Demon Cult masters, after living for hundreds of years, died under the backlash of the terrifying evil spirit. Some unlucky ones will suddenly go into the devil during the cultivation process and explode and die.
Thinking back to the days when the old demon was a great talent, he founded the Bright Holy Fire Sect, which has been the world's largest sect for thousands of years. Even the power of the Cangyun Sect at its peak a thousand years ago was less than one-third of the Bright Holy Fire Sect.
Such a great sect of cultivation was destroyed by the sword of the Fairy Qingluan more than three thousand years ago.
If Yue Shiyin had defeated the Fairy Qingluan, the Bright Holy Fire Sect would not have been torn apart, nor would it have been called the Demon Sect by the world.
"The way of heaven is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency. The way of man is to reduce the deficiency and serve the surplus. That is, man follows the earth, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows nature."
This is the opening of the fourth volume of the classic heavenly book, the Netherworld Ghost Dao Chapter, which is exactly the same as the opening of the classic book left by Situ Feng that Ye Xiaochuan saw on the cliff wall in the back mountain.
But the content of the text that follows is very different.
According to Xuanying, the Yin-Yang Heaven and Earth Dao of Cangyun Sect is inherited from the ancient giant Shushan, and the Shushan's skills come from the second volume of the Heavenly Book, Xuandao, so Cangyun Sect is a Taoist sect. The Yin-Yang Heaven and Earth Dao mainly cultivates the mind and cultivates the nature of the Great Dao and the unity of heaven and man.
This ghost Dao strange art is the fourth volume of the Heavenly Book, the Netherworld, which mainly talks about the strange art of cultivating spirits and ghosts, which is different from Taoist and Buddhist classics.
Ye Xiaochuan carefully recalled the words in the Netherworld chapter word by word, and made sure that he did not see any strange and evil arts that sucked people's souls. Finally, he made up his mind and began to study and cultivate souls.
