"I don't know. Please give me some pointers, father." Ning said respectfully.
In fact, he had read a lot of books and already knew about it. However, he was only a four-year-old child. There was no need for him to be so monstrous.
"I'm just saying so that you understand." Yichuan said coldly," Let's first talk about the seven major stages of this path of cultivation.”
"The first level, Houtian, lifespan of a hundred years.”
"The second level, Xiantian, lifespan of two hundred years.”
"The third level is the Zifu Disciple. They are known as 'Zifu Disciples' and have a lifespan of five hundred years.”
"The fourth level, Wanxiang Adept. They are known as Wanxiang Adepts and have a lifespan of eight hundred years.”
"The fifth level is the Primal stage.”
"The sixth level is the Void-level. They are known as Land Immortals or Earth Immortals. The final stage of the Void-level is the trial of the Heavenly Tribulation. If they fail, their bodies and souls will be destroyed, but if they are lucky enough to escape with their primordial spirits, they will become Itinerant Immortals.”
"The seventh level, Celestial Immortal. Only then can you be considered to have jumped out of the Three Realms and not within the Five Elements!”
Yichuan looked at Ning, wanting to see a look of shock on his son's face. However, Ning simply listened attentively.
"You said you wanted to cultivate, so I'll let you know the difficulty of cultivating.”Yichuan said in a low voice,"The first trial of Immortal cultivation-from Houtian to Xiantian!”
"What is an Innate? Only Xiantian lifeforms were born from the Heavens and Earth. For example, some Fiendgods of the distant Fiendgod Era were born from the heavens and earth, and they were born with great divine abilities. There were also those who reincarnated into the Heavenly Realm through the Six Paths of Reincarnation, becoming 'devas' and 'asura'. These' devas 'and' asuras 'were both born from the Heavens and Earth, and were naturally Xiantian lifeforms. Their cultivation speed was extremely fast, and only Xiantian lifeforms could become Immortals!”
"Mortals can't cultivate immortality, but the heavens will always leave a chance for them to survive. Therefore, a senior created a cultivation technique to allow mortals to cultivate a body that is like a 'Xiantian lifeform', which is why it is possible to cultivate immortality.”
"But mortals who want to become Xiantian lifeforms are already defying the heavens. Only one in ten thousand can succeed! Tell me, is it difficult?"
Ning listened.
A Xiantian lifeform? If it wasn't for the great upheaval in the Netherworld, he would probably have been reincarnated into the Heavenly Realm as a Xiantian lifeform. However, he was now a mortal…Indeed, the path from mortal to Xiantian was extremely difficult.
"The second obstacle of Immortal cultivation-Xiantian to Zifu!”
"One must establish a Zifu in order to cultivate. Establishing a Zifu is like building a house and 'laying the foundation'. It's like planting food and' opening up the farmland'. This Zifu is the farmland, the source of cultivation, the foundation of the Great Dao! Only by truly establishing a Zifu Disciple within one's body could one embark on the path of Immortal cultivation, and only then would one be qualified to be called a Zifu Disciple! For an innate expert to establish a Zifu, only one in a thousand would be able to do so. Tell me, is it difficult?”
Ning nodded.
Yes, it was very difficult.
At the same time, he carefully listened. The books in the Ji clan's West Prefecture library only described the difficulty of the first two stages, and nothing else.
"Once you establish your Zifu and become an Immortal cultivator, you will naturally possess monstrous power.”
"However, cultivating to become an Immortal is against the Heavenly Daos. Thus, from the day you set foot on the Immortal path, which is the moment you establish your Zifu, there will be a trial every three hundred years, and a great tribulation every nine hundred years. As the saying went,'Every three is a disaster, every nine is a tribulation.'，Every three hundred years, this trial would come, and every nine hundred years, it would come to a greater extent. And as long as one walked the path of immortality, it would continue like this forever…unless one became a Celestial Immortal, the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations were eternal tribulations for every Immortal cultivator.”
Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations?
Meeting three is a disaster, meeting nine is a calamity, disaster is easy to avoid, but calamity is easy to escape?
Ning was truly shocked. Unless an Immortal became a Celestial Immortal, the tribulation would come once every three hundred years.
……
"Comparing peeling!" The candle that was as thick as a child's arm burned and emitted a sound that echoed in the hall.
Yichuan and Snow both looked at their son. Right now, Ning had a look of shock on his face that he couldn't hide. Seeing his son's shocked expression, Yichuan nodded slightly. He had finally managed to subdue this little fellow.
"How old is our son? Why are you saying so much?" Snow said unhappily.
"Mother." Ning raised his head, then grinned.”
Yichuan looked over in surprise.
"Father." Ning laughed."From mortal to Xiantian, and from Xiantian to Zifu…just these two trials alone…are incredibly difficult. The three calamities and nine tribulations are too far away for me, I don't need to think about them at all.”
"Yes." Yichuan nodded." Your temperament is quite good. You're right. Right now, you really don't need to think about becoming a Zifu Disciple. That's too far away. In the vast lands of Swallow Mountain, including the Ji clan and all the other major powers and countless tribes, the most powerful are only Zifu Disciples. The path of Immortal cultivation is extremely difficult…even with the vastness of our Grand Xia Dynasty, we won't be able to produce a single Celestial Immortal in a million years.”
Ning nodded gently.
In the netherworld, Lord Cui had told him that the Painting of Nuwa only gave him a little more chance. There were still many calamities to become a Celestial Immortal. And that was under the premise that he was a deva, a celestial soldier or celestial general.... One could only imagine how difficult it was to become a Celestial Immortal. Not just anyone could jump out of the Three Realms and out of the Five Elements.
"You still want to cultivate?" Yichuan looked at Ning.
"Yes." Ning nodded.
Yichuan nodded slightly. If he felt fear just from hearing about danger, then he would be disappointed. What he didn't know was…why would Ning be so frightened by all of this? What could be done without risk? One could be crushed to death by a stone falling from the sky while walking, and one could choke to death while eating. The path of cultivation was an incredible one, so it would be strange if it wasn't dangerous.
"However…" Yichuan frowned."You're too young, and the art of training is extremely complicated. If he taught you a profound immortal cultivation technique, you would hurt your body if you mispracticed it. And ordinary immortal spells aren't worth it…"
"Father." "I want the Fiendgod Body Refining Art!"”
"Oh? You know about body refinement?" Yichuan was extremely surprised. The nearby Snow laughed as well."Our son has read a lot of books and knows that there are two types of cultivation.”
There were two main paths to cultivation.
One was the refinement of Qi! Ninety-nine percent of the people on the path of immortality walked this path. They could use many magical treasures, refine complicated puppets, control large numbers of poisonous insects and demon beasts, refine grand arrays, and use all kinds of evil cultivation techniques…In short, this was an extremely complicated and mysterious Great Dao.
The other was body refinement.
It was rumored that the birth of the Three Realms gave birth to many Fiendgods. These Fiendgods were born from the heavens and were born with powerful bodies! Pangu, who had created the world, was the most powerful Chaos Fiendgod, and he had a powerful body as well. Thus, some of the senior Grand Virtues had meditated on the body of a Fiendgod and created some body-tempering techniques, allowing cultivators to possess a Fiendgod-like body. They were indestructible, possessed boundless strength, possessed the ability to transform into a celestial being, had three heads and six arms, were reborn from a drop of blood, were undying, and were indestructible…all of them belonged to the Fiendgod Body Refinement Sect.
The Body Refinement Sect was known to be able to completely suppress Qi Refinement cultivators at the same stage!
"Body refinement is a hundred times harder than Ki Refining.”Yichuan said solemnly,"Fiendgod Body Refining techniques allow one to possess Fiendgod power. How heaven-defying is that? Extremely difficult…"
"Father, I'll refine my body first, then refine my Qi in the future.”Ning said,"In any case, these two types of training can be done simultaneously. When the time comes, I'll choose whichever path I'm talented in…Besides, aren't you worried that I'm too young and that my Qi Refinement will go wrong and hurt my meridians? Fiendgod Body Refining techniques weren't as dangerous as this.”
Yichuan and Snow exchanged a glance.
It seemed that their son had thought things through very thoroughly. Indeed, the Fiendgod Body Refining technique was primarily used to train the bones, muscles, skin, and organs of the entire body. It had nothing to do with Fiendgod Body Refining techniques. It must be understood that Connate Fiendgods came in all shapes and sizes, and their meridians were completely different from humans. Senior, you've comprehended the Fiendgod Body Refining Technique, so you naturally don't need to pay attention to meridians.
"Good!" Yichuan nodded." Fiendgod Body Refining techniques are extremely precious. Our Ji clan has a total of nineteen Fiendgod Body Refining techniques in the five prefectures. I'll let you choose which one you want to train in!”
"Yes." Ning was filled with excitement.
"Brother Black." Yichuan shouted.
Soon, a black-haired middle-aged man appeared outside the hall. His eyes glowed with a faint red light, and the corners of his eyes were long and narrow. It was the black snake that had transformed into him.
"Uncle Black." Ning hurriedly called out. After living in this world for two years, he knew that this black-haired man was a Diremonster who had already trained to become a Xiantian lifeform. Generally speaking, only after gaining sentience would wild beasts be considered Diremonsters. They would begin to absorb the natural energy of the world to train. They didn't practice any techniques, so it was even more difficult for them to train than humans. Only after breaking through to become a Xiantian lifeform would they have the ability to transform!
The black-haired middle-aged man smiled and nodded.”
"I'll have to trouble you to make a trip to the library.”Yichuan said,"Bring all nineteen of the abridged versions of the Fiendgod Body Refining techniques. Ji Ning wishes to use them.”
"Ji Ning wants to use it?" The black-haired, middle-aged man smiled as he looked at Ning."Once you train in the Fiendgod Body Refining technique, you'll become like a Fiendgod. It seems Ji Ning is quite ambitious.”
Whoosh!
The black-haired middle-aged man disappeared into thin air.
Ning took a deep breath and waited. Uncle Black was right; he was ambitious. Firstly, he knew that his father would not easily teach him the method of refining Qi because he was too young. As for self-study? Ning wasn't that confident. Secondly, he knew how powerful the Fiendgod Body Refiners were. Killing a Fiendgod Body Refiner was a thousand times more difficult than killing a Ki Refiner! Fiendgod Body Refiners could completely crush Ki Refiners at the same level!
Strong survivability and strength. These two principles alone made Ning even more fond of Fiendgod Body Refining techniques.
"Phew." A gentle breeze blew out of nowhere, and the black-haired, middle-aged man appeared within the palace hall. He had a smile on his face.”
"Ji Ning." Yichuan looked at his son." The abridged version only contains the first part of the Immortal arts, as well as a description of this Immortal art. Take a good look and see which one you want to choose.”
The black-haired, middle-aged man placed the nineteen abridged books in front of Ning.
Each abridged copy was very thin. After all, it only contained the first few pages of the book. Even if it was stolen, it wouldn't affect the Ji clan. They wouldn't just leave some precious immortal techniques in the library. However, even if they were abridged copies, not just anyone could obtain abridged copies of these Fiendgod Body Refining techniques. This was why Yichuan had sent the black-haired man over.
"Nineteen books."
Ning lowered his head and began to seriously read.
