"From what you said, the Mystic Dragon appeared in the Mortal Realm to subdue the three-headed black flood dragon and raise the level of his spiritual weapon. Sigh! If I had appeared earlier, perhaps your hometown would not have been destroyed, and your loved ones would not have lost their lives.”Reverend Ling Ku said with a regretful expression.
"Child, are you willing to take me as your master and learn the path of cultivation? When you succeed, you can travel the world and save those suffering people.”Reverend Ling Ku says while staring at Jing Feng.
Jing Feng kneeled down without hesitation and sobbed to Reverend Ling Ku,"I'm willing. When I was young, my health was not good and I suffered a lot. At that time, my wish was to be a doctor and travel the world to save all the patients in the world so that they would suffer less from illness. However, ever since my hometown was destroyed by that demon, my family died, and my only family in this world was taken away by that demon in front of me. I didn't even have the slightest solution. Only then did I know that in this world, without strength, no matter how beautiful my wishes are, they are useless. Please teach me the cultivation technique, master, so that I can save big brother from that demon. Master, please grant my wish."
"Bang bang bang". After he finished speaking, Jing Feng kowtowed three times.
"Sigh, I really don't know if it was right or wrong to bring you into cultivation today.”Reverend Ling Ku said to himself.
"Alright, Jing Feng, let me tell you about Tiandao Sect's situation first. The sect master of our Tiandao Sect is my senior brother, Perfected Ling Yun. He's ranked second in our sect. He also has two junior brothers and a junior sister, who are your martial uncle and martial aunt. Our Tiandao Sect has a total of 21 disciples including you. The first disciple we took down was from the Ning generation, which was your senior brother and the others. The second disciple we took down was from the Yu generation. Every hundred years, the five of us will take turns to go down the mountain and search for talented disciples who are fated to be with our sect.”Reverend Ling Ku said.
"Then, Master, why don't the Martial Uncles go down the mountain together? Wouldn't they receive more disciples?”Jing Feng asked with a puzzled expression.
"Sigh! Thinking back to three thousand years ago, our Heavenly Dao Sect was the number one sect in the cultivation world. We had many spirit pills, immortal artifacts, and immortal armor. However, because we had many spirit treasures, during the year when we opened the sect to accept disciples three thousand years ago, the Evil Sect joined forces with the five demon palaces and other demons. They took advantage of the time when our Heavenly Dao Sect opened the sect to accept disciples and opened the mountain protecting immortal array to invade wantonly. Our Tiandao Sect's seniors resisted with all their might, but because of the many demons, countless of them died. The demons attacked our Heavenly Dao Sect's core, the Kai Tian Hall, and destroyed the array core and top-grade immortal stones of our mountain protecting immortal array. Therefore, the current mountain protecting immortal array and the spiritual qi in the mountain were only one-third of the original. Many of the spiritual treasures in the sect were either destroyed or snatched away by these demons. In the end, thanks to the timely arrival of the seniors of the Peerless Sect and the Immortal Sword Sect, everyone became united and chased away the demons. Otherwise, Tiandao Sect's hundreds of thousands of years of history would very likely vanish into thin air. As a result, Evil Sect suffered a great loss and was annexed by the Five Devil Palace and Black Dragon Island. After this great battle, Tiandao Sect had very few experts left and was gradually overtaken by the other major sects. This is also the main reason why our Tiandao Sect has so few people and so few spirit pills and spirit treasures. It is also because of this great change that our Tiandao Sect has closed its doors and only leaves the mountain once every hundred years to accept disciples.”Daoist Ling Ku sighed.
"Then Master, did you participate in that great battle?”Jing Feng was engrossed in listening and asked unintentionally.
"Master also participated in that huge change back then. Because Master's cultivation was still shallow at that time, he and a few senior brothers were left behind at the Heaven Dao Cliff to guard our Heaven Dao Sect's treasure from being destroyed. We didn't fight head-on with those evil demons." Sigh! Perfected Ling Ku sighed after saying that.
"Let's not talk about the past. I'll tell you about the cultivation world in general. Cultivation was divided into nine realms. They were the initial stage, the connection stage, the golden core stage, the nascent soul stage, the cloud soaring stage, the leaving aperture stage, the great path stage, the tribulation passing stage, and the great success stage. Once one reached the Nascent Soul stage, their lifespan would be extended to 1,000 years. When one reached the Leaving Aperture stage, as long as one's Nascent Soul was not damaged, one would be immortal and live as long as heaven and earth. And after a Xiuzhenist transcends the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation and reaches the Dacheng stage, he can become an immortal in the Immortal World.”Reverend Ling Ku explained seriously.
"Then what is the Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, Master?”Jing Feng asked doubtfully.
"Cultivation is a heaven-defying act. Of course, you have to be baptized by the heavenly tribulation. The 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation is a test of our cultivation achievements in the Immortal World. After the heavenly tribulation, the spiritual energy in our bodies can be transformed into immortal elemental energy and become true immortals. However, the terror of the 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation was beyond your imagination. Cultivators who had reached the Crossing Calamity Stage all had the divine ability to destroy the world. However, the success rate of those who had crossed the 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation was only 20 - 30%. Most of them had already perished.”Reverend Ling Ku said seriously.
"Twenty-three percent, Soul Flying Smoke Extinguished." Jing Feng was shocked when he heard these two words.
"Alright, Jing Feng, don't be shocked. Cultivate well. There's still a great chance for you to ascend and become an immortal. If there's anything you don't understand, I'll explain it to you in detail. I now officially accept your dharma name, Wood Jade. You are a disciple of the Jade generation, the second disciple of my sect. I have been indifferent all my life. It was only when I first completed my Tao that I found your Senior Brother Ning Shi on an isolated island beside our immortal mountain nine hundred years ago. At that time, your Senior Brother was very similar to you. His parents and relatives had all died in the sea, leaving him alone on the sea. I saw that he had a firm will, so I had the idea of taking him in as a disciple. Because of his firm will, your senior brother's state of mind improved so quickly and his cultivation realm advanced by leaps and bounds. He did not let down his master's painstaking efforts. After that, I never had the thought of taking in a disciple until I met you. I hope that you will also cultivate well and cultivate your state of mind more. You will transcend the Heavenly Tribulation as soon as possible and become an immortal. Your teacher's teachings will not be in vain.”Perfected Ling Ku said earnestly.
"Master, this disciple will definitely work hard in cultivation and not let down Master's grace of saving my life and teaching me. However, this disciple has a small request. I wonder if Master can agree to this disciple's request.”Jing Feng asked.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. As long as I can do it, I'll agree to it.”Reverend Ling Ku says to Jing Feng.
"Master, can I not be called Muyu and be called Jingfeng instead? Jingfeng was given to me by my deceased parents. I have been cultivating for a long time, and I want to leave an impression of my parents in my mind so that they can urge me to cultivate properly and save my big brother who was captured by that demon as soon as possible.”Jing Feng said sincerely.
"En, this one. The Dharma name was given to you by the sect leader senior brother. Anyone who enters my immortal mountain must be given a Dharma name. If you want to take back your Dharma name, you have to report it to the head senior brother. For the sake of your filial piety, I'll report it to the head senior brother when I have the chance and let him decide.”Reverend Ling Ku said after thinking for a while.
"Thank you, Master. I will never forget your kindness to me.”Jing Feng said gratefully. Then, he kowtowed three more times.
Alright, Jing Feng, I will now officially teach you the introductory mental cultivation method of our Tiandao Sect. Get up first. Don't kneel." Perfected Ling Yun waved his hand and said.
"The Tiandao Sect has been passed down to the 51st generation of our Ling generation. Our founding ancestor is Patriarch Tianlong. "Our mountain's treasure is the Shattering Cloud Peak. The Heavenly Dao immortal technique engraved on the Heavenly Dao Cliff is passed down from ancient times. Legend had it that if one cultivated to the highest level, one could split the heavens and earth apart and be omnipotent.”Perfected Ling Ku drank a mouthful of immortal tea and continued.
"The ones guarding the Heavenly Dao Cliff are our Heavenly Dao Sect's mountain guardian immortal beasts, the Stone Beast and the Flowing Light Leopard. They were the immortal beasts subdued by the Heavenly Dragon Patriarch back then. When the Heavenly Dragon Patriarch ascended to the Immortal World, he left them at the Heavenly Dragon Mountain to guard the Heavenly Dao Cliff.”Reverend Ling Ku said respectfully.
"Then can I see these two Immortal Beasts? When can I go to the Heaven Dao Cliff to cultivate the Heaven Dao immortal technique?”Jing Feng asked with a look of longing.
"As long as we report this to the sect leader and get his approval, we can enter the Heavenly Dao Cliff at any time. However, without a certain level of cultivation, one would not be able to see the Heavenly Dao immortal technique engraved on the Heavenly Dao Cliff. The two Immortal Beasts were in the cave beside the Heaven Dao Cliff. Ordinary people did not dare to enter those two caves, as it was very likely that they would anger the Immortal Beasts and be punished. Usually, they will only appear to protect Tiandao Sect or the Cliff of Heavenly Dao if there's anything unusual.”Reverend Ling Ku patiently explained to Jing Feng.
"Alright, that's all for today. I'll tell you about the history of Tiandao Sect in the future. There's no time in cultivation. As long as you practice hard, it won't be a dream for you to travel the Nine Provinces and become an immortal. Now, I'll teach you the Tiandao Sect's entry-level technique, the Heavenly Sun Art. The Heavenly Sun Mantra was a pure Yang cultivation technique for Foundation Establishment. The cultivation technique was extremely masculine and was a fire attribute cultivation technique. Absorb the Yang energy of heaven and earth to increase one's strength.”Reverend Ling Ku said seriously.
A crystal spirit ball appeared out of thin air in Reverend Ling Ku's hand. The crystal ball slowly floated into Jing Feng's hand and said,"This is our Tiandao Sect's cultivation relaying spirit orb. Anyone who enters our sect to cultivate will be bestowed with this treasure. First, drip your blood on it to become its owner, and the Heavenly Sun Spell will automatically appear in your mind. However, the speed of your cultivation depends on your comprehension, state of mind, and perseverance. I hope that you will cultivate well and lay a good foundation so that you can form your Golden Core as soon as possible.”
"Our Tiandao Sect cultivates by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to sense the heavenly secrets. After mastering it, one could use the great divine powers of heaven and earth and nature to move mountains and seas. Cultivating the Tiandao Sect's mental cultivation method mainly relied on one's comprehension ability. Simply put, it was one word: comprehension!，Comprehension also depends on your state of mind. Different cultivation sects had different cultivation methods. Like the Immortal Sword Sect, which was also a cultivation sect, their cultivation mainly relied on weapon cultivation. They depended on the degree of mental connection with the spirit weapon to determine the speed of cultivation.”Reverend Ling Ku explained in detail.
"Alright, Jing Feng, you should fuse with the Cultivation Imparting Spirit Ball first.”Perfected Ling Ku urged.
After Jing Feng fused with the cultivation relaying spirit ball, spiritual light instantly shot out from the top of his head. "Jingfeng, you should properly comprehend the mental cultivation method in the spirit ball later. Today, I'll take you in as my disciple, so I'll give you my Heavenly Spirit Magic Ring.”As he spoke, a green storage ring appeared in Jing Feng's hand.
"This is a storage ring, a middle-grade spirit weapon. In the cultivation world, storage and special magic treasures are the most precious and the most difficult to refine, followed by defensive and offensive magic treasures. In the cultivation world, most magic treasures had spirituality and were owned by virtuous people. You can cultivate well. In the future, if you have the chance, go find your own opportunities.”
"Alright, let your senior brother take you to the Spirit Mist Cave to cultivate.”Perfected Ling Ku said after seriously explaining the preciousness of the Heavenly Spirit Ring.
Inside the Spirit Mist Cave, Jing Feng sat cross-legged on a praying mat.
"To cultivate, one must first learn to meditate and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate. " Junior Brother, try to comprehend the Pure Yang Technique first. See if there's anything you don't understand. I'll explain it to you."”Ning Shizi explained with a smile.
Jing Feng sat cross-legged on the praying mat and slowly closed his eyes to comprehend the mental cultivation method within the Spirit Ball. After about the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, Jing Feng's entire body gradually began to emit traces of red gas. The red gas gradually enveloped Jing Feng's entire body. Before he could understand what was going on, the enormous and scorching energy had already burned his meridians to the point of burning them, causing his body to fluctuate violently. After 108 cycles, the speed at which his zhenqi circulated began to increase, and it also brought about an unprecedented level of activity in every cell.
After an unknown period of time, a ball of weak Spiritual Qi appeared in Jing Feng's Dantian. The faint True Qi on Jing Feng's body gradually faded away. After a while, Jing Feng slowly opened his eyes. He felt as if his entire body was light as a feather, filled with strength and an unprecedented sense of comfort.
On the other hand, Ning Shizi's eyes widened as he stared at Jing Feng, who had just woken up.
"Little Junior Brother, are you alright?" Ning Shizi nudged Jing Feng who had just woken up.
"Hmm? What's wrong, Senior Brother? I'm fine. I feel light and full of strength. I've never felt so comfortable before.”Jing Feng looked at the dumbfounded Ning Shizi with a puzzled expression.
"Little Junior Brother, you really haven't cultivated the True Dao before? Do you know how long it took you to meditate for the first time? A total of 286 days. Little Junior Brother, are you really alright?" Ning Shi still had a look of disbelief.
"286 days? Really? Why do I feel like it's only been a while? At first, I felt my body hurt, but slowly, the pain disappeared. It was as if a ball of qi had appeared in my body and was swimming around in my body. It was very comfortable. Senior Brother, if you don't believe me, you can take a look. I'm really good.”Jing Feng stood up as he spoke and jumped vigorously in front of Ning Shi.
As it was Jing Feng's first time coming into contact with cultivation, this jump was not a big deal. He jumped over his head and slammed into the ceiling of the cave, causing a loud bang.
"Aiyo! It hurts." Jing Feng hugged his head and cried.
"Junior brother, you really are a genius. I didn't expect you to grasp the secrets of cultivation so quickly. He had meditated for 286 days during his first meditation and was about to reach the early stage of the breakthrough realm. This is unprecedented. Do you know that it has only been 38 days since my first meditation? You are really a genius! At first, I was worried about you and was afraid that you would go berserk. It seems that my worry was unnecessary.”Ning Shi laughed and patted Jing Feng's shoulder.
"Alright, Junior Brother, you should consolidate your strength. If you have any difficult questions, come and ask me. I'll go to the cave abode next to you to cultivate. If you wake up from meditation and feel hungry, go to the back mountain to find some food. There are many wild fruits to eat. However, it's best to rush back at night. It's foggy in the mountains at night, and there are often ferocious spirit beasts in the forest. You're unfamiliar with the place, so be careful.”Ning Shizi said with concern.
" Thank you, Senior Brother. I got it. Go cultivate. I can take care of myself." Jing Feng said gratefully. After saying that, Ning Shizi left the Spirit Mist Cave.
