One Year
Opening the jade box, a thin book as white as jade lay quietly inside. On the title page, there were a few familiar Chinese characters for the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture.
Holding this heavy and cold book in his hands, Ye Kong was also very excited. He knew that this book was like a key that would open the door to the Immortal Realm for him.
Ye Kong took out the sutra, closed the jade box, and locked it in its original state. Then, he turned around to look again, grinned, and let out an excited " Yay!" before scurrying back to the mat in the corner of the ancestral hall.
In order to prevent others from seeing through it, Ye Kong placed the Five Elements Ascension to Immortality Scripture in the book of foreign objects, just like how he would read novels in class during school.
With a flick of his finger, the thin page opened gently…
Ye Kong had never been so engrossed in reading a book before. He had been reading since the afternoon, and when night came, he and the soldiers had a few bites of rice to eat, and when they came back, he continued reading.
Finally, he put down the book and closed his eyes in deep thought.
According to this fellow Earthling who called himself Five Elements Rogue, all transmigrators from Earth should have penta spirit roots. According to the concept of Cangnan Continent, this was the worst aptitude, but Five Elements Rogue did not agree with this view.
He believed that the penta spiritual root was actually the most stable and natural spiritual root. Imagine that this world was made up of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and the human body was also a small universe that could not be separated from metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Therefore, cultivating the penta spiritual root would definitely be stronger than other spiritual roots.
Five Elements Rogue's opinion was the opposite of the popular opinion in Cangnan Continent. According to him, didn't heaven spirit root mean the worst and most unstable aptitude?
However, Ye Kong felt that it made sense. The world was originally made up of these five basic elements, and cultivating them together was naturally more powerful than cultivating one of them. Moreover, these five elements were mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. If he were to face an enemy in the future, he would be able to use the appropriate elements at will to completely restrain his opponent.
For example, if the other party cultivates the fire attribute, we will use the water attribute. If the other party is of the water attribute, then let's use the earth attribute. Earth counters water.
Ye Kong felt that this old man who had come first was truly a genius. If it had been him, he definitely wouldn't have been able to create his own cultivation technique, and this " Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture " was a cultivation technique that Five Elements Itinerant Man had created based on his penta spirit root aptitude.
According to Five Elements Rogue, the advantage of this cultivation method was that it was powerful and had a strong spiritual sense. The amount of spiritual energy in one's body was several times higher than that of cultivators of the same age. The second advantage was that the bottlenecks of this cultivation technique were not too serious. Perhaps it was because the five spiritual roots were relatively stable, or perhaps it was because this cultivation method had a solid foundation. In short, the bottlenecks that plagued other cultivation techniques were not very troublesome in the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture.
It could be said that whether it was Foundation Establishment or Core Formation or Nascent Soul Formation, as long as one pill was used, it would guarantee success. There would definitely not be a situation where one could not reach Foundation Establishment even after eating seven or eight Foundation Establishment Pills.
Some people might ask, since this cultivation technique was tailored for the penta spirit root, and it had even solved the problem of bottlenecks, Ye Kong should hurry up and cultivate it. What was the point of wasting time?
The key problem was that this cultivation technique also had flaws. First of all, cultivation was slow. The reason why the Heaven Spiritual Root was good was that it was faster to cultivate, twice the result with half the effort, and twice the result with half the time. The Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture intensified the characteristics of the slow cultivation of the Five Spiritual Roots. It was even slower, so slow that it was unimaginable. Of course, it was precisely because of the slow cultivation that the foundation could be strengthened and the bottleneck could be weakened. It was also because of the long cultivation that the power could far exceed that of cultivators of the same generation.
The second flaw was that metal-type spiritual energy was scarce. According to the Five Elements Itinerant, the Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture was to absorb the five elements of spiritual energy in the world to achieve balance and stability. The five elements of spiritual energy cooperated with each other and balanced each other. Therefore, after reaching the foundation stage, one must ensure that the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth were evenly distributed in the body. The rest was easy to deal with. The most troublesome thing was that there was no metal element spiritual energy in the air, nor in ordinary places.
Five Elements Rogue gave a suggestion. Absorb the spiritual energy in the gold-attribute spirit stones. Ye Kong smiled bitterly. He had yet to see what a Spirit Stone looked like. If he were to absorb a gold-attribute Spirit Stone to cultivate, how many would that cost? It must be an astronomical figure.
Wanderer Five Elements also knew that it was indeed difficult to get so many metal-type spirit stones. He gave a second suggestion. Refining a metal-type spirit stone mine would provide an endless stream of metal-type spiritual energy.
Ye Kong shook his head even more. If you dug up the other party's spirit stone mine and cut off their source of income, wouldn't that be courting death? He might as well think of a way to get spirit stones.
"Are you going to practice or not? The advantage was that it was powerful and had no bottlenecks. The disadvantage was that it was slow and cost a lot of spirit stones.”Ye Kong lowered his head and pondered.
However, he quickly made up his mind. Was there any other choice? According to Wanxuan Zhenren, with my aptitude, I'll be stuck at the early-stage of the Aura Refining realm for the rest of my life. The Five Elements Immortal Ascension Scripture can guarantee that I'll successfully build my foundation. So what if I'm a little slower?”
Since Ye Kong had already made up his mind, he didn't delay any further. He immediately sat down cross-legged and recited the cultivation method to himself. Only then did he stuff the book into his inner pocket, close his eyes, and place his palms flat on the ground as he began to cultivate.
The cultivation realms of immortal cultivators were divided into upper, middle, and lower levels. The lower levels were Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Jindan, Yuanying, and Deity Transformation. The middle levels were Void Refinement, Body Integration, and Mahayana. At the last upper level, there was only the last tribulation. If one successfully passed the tribulation, they could ascend to the Immortal World and live as long as heaven and earth.
It should also be mentioned that each realm was divided into ten levels. The first, second, and third levels were called the early stage, the fourth, fifth, and sixth levels were called the middle stage, the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels were called the late stage, and the tenth level was the great circle.
At this moment, Ye Kong didn't think too much about it. Right now, he only had one goal in mind: to build his foundation. He was like a marathon runner who had finally taken his first step after running ten thousand miles. He didn't know what path he would have to walk in the future, but he knew that since he had already embarked on this path, he had to keep his head down, grit his teeth, and charge forward, never looking back.
Cultivation and meditation were not the same, but they were also related.
Last time, Ye Kong had been cultivating on his own, and it had taken him a lot of effort to enter a meditative state. But today was different. As soon as he started cultivating, he could feel the spiritual energy in the air gathering toward him. The chilly wind and the cold feeling were all gone. It was as if he was enveloped by a warm stream of water. It was very comfortable, and he quickly entered a meditative state.
What was unbelievable was that the first part of his body that started to absorb the spiritual energy…was actually his palm! Ye Kong had thought that it was breathing, inhaling spiritual energy, and then circulating it in his limbs and bones.
But who knew that it was a palm. However, after thinking about it, it was normal. The palm was an extremely sensitive and flexible organ. The palm was the place with the densest acupuncture points in the human body. In the future, the immortal energy would also be emitted from the palm.
Ye Kong could clearly feel the wisps of water-type and wood-type spiritual energy seeping into his palm. He felt as if the flesh on his palm had become a sieve, filled with countless fine and neat eyes. Then, the spiritual energy flowed into his body like water from the small eyes, slowly entering his body through the meridians in his arms.
Fortunately, the first stage of cultivation, the Qi Refinement stage, didn't require a balanced intake of Spirit Qi. As long as it was Spirit Qi, it was fine. Ye Kong was like a greedy baby, constantly working hard to absorb Spirit Qi from the air.
However, the amount of spiritual energy absorbed did not mean that it would be stored in the sea of vital energy. In fact, after the spiritual energy entered the body and circulated eight times through the eight extraordinary meridians, the amount of spiritual energy that finally returned to the sea of vital energy was extremely small.
A portion of the spiritual energy was used to nourish various parts of his body and his meridians. Another portion escaped from the inside of his body through his skin, and the other portion was impurities. These impurities stayed in the muscles of his body and were slowly pushed out of his body with his cultivation.
Many cultivators would leave a circle of black-gray dust around their bodies after a long period of meditation. The black dust was the bad substance inside the human body, and the gray dust was the impurities mixed in the spiritual energy.
Therefore, in the later stages, the dust emitted by the bodies of immortal cultivators would only be gray and not black.
Ye Kong didn't dare to slack off. After cultivating for an entire night, he finally felt a faint trace of Spirit Qi in his Sea of Qi.
Ye Kong was already overjoyed by this. He knew that he had already stepped into the door, and from now on, he could be considered an Immortal Cultivator. However, this level was still very low, and Ye Haoran could still make him dizzy with a single slap.
However, since he had already entered the door, was there still a long way to go before he could improve his abilities?
What made Ye Kong even happier was that his spirit was also much better. It seemed that absorbing spiritual energy was beneficial to his soul. It wouldn't be long before his damaged soul recovered.
In the future, when his soul grew stronger, opening the Encyclopedia of Talismans would no longer be a dream. He wondered what kind of surprise the talisman book brought from Earth would bring him.
Eighth Young Master, it's time for breakfast." Outside, Liu Changqing's shout rang out.
"Hey, I'm here." Ye Kong stood up, patted his clothes, and walked out the door.
"Eighth Young Master, you sat up all night last night. Aren't your legs numb?”Liu Changqing asked as he handed over the breakfast buns.
Low profile, he still had to keep a low profile! People's eyes were sharp. Just a little bit of a situation, and others saw it.
"Numb? Why isn't it numb? But there's no bed here, so I can only meditate and sleep.”Ye Kong sighed, then smiled and said," General Liu, why don't we swap?”
"Haha." Liu Changqing laughed and said," My heart aches for the Eighth Young Master. I want him to sleep more comfortably, but if the General finds out, I won't be able to bear the consequences.”
From then on, Ye Kong moved the cattail cushion to the back of the ancestral hall. It was better to be cautious in everything. However, Liu Changqing wasn't a bad person, and he was eager to curry favor with him. Ye Kong was also a cheerful person, and everyone got along well with each other. Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Kong had already reflected on his ancestors for a year.
