Han Xiao did not feel that his days had passed quickly or slowly on the mountain. Many years later, when he recalled the years he had lived, he realized that it was this plain and bitter life on the mountain that was the most beautiful thing in his memory.
On this day, Master Han Zhitian and Uncle Zhong went down the mountain for some business. After Han Xiao finished his daily practice, he brought Huo 'er to roam around the mountains. Although Huo' er was still young, the bloodline of spiritual beasts that came from the heavens could still deter many wild beasts on the Heaven-Piercing Peak. Moreover, if Huo 'er's intelligence was high enough, she would realize that Han Xiao was actually the most powerful savage beast on the Heaven-Piercing Peak. Han Xiao had already tried everything that could be eaten around the Heaven-Piercing Peak!
Han Xiao knew that Heaven-Piercing Peak was very big, but he really didn't know how big it was, just like how he didn't know how big the Hundred Thousand Mountains were.
As usual, Han Xiao was jumping around in the primeval forest that had existed since ancient times on the Sky-Piercing Peak. Han Xiao had once unintentionally discovered that the closer he was to nature and the closer he was to all things in the world, the more the Nameless True Qi and Green Wood True Qi in his body would circulate more smoothly than usual on the Full Moon Platform.
Han Xiao told his master about this discovery, and his master smiled without saying a word. However, ever since that time, the Moon Gazing Platform had been green all year round. The houses were covered with vines, and the surrounding cliffs were covered with flowers.
Han Xiao might not have been surprised if this had been cultivated for several years, but in just a dozen days, the Full Moon Stage had become a Full Moon Garden. Han Xiao was dumbfounded. He had seen with his own eyes that his master had used the time for an incense stick to take root, sprout, and then bloom as if it was a creation.
Han Zhitian said that if Han Xiao could master the Art of Longevity to the highest level, he could also use the Green Wood True Qi to affect the growth of plants. Han Zhitian also told Han Xiao that some people in this world cultivated techniques that were naturally close to the wood spirits of the world. They could control plants to kill enemies and could not be underestimated. They were much more advanced than the wood-type True Qi that he cultivated. They might not be considered martial arts cultivators anymore, but might be considered spell cultivators.
Thinking about it, his current Green Wood True Qi was not considered weak, but many times, Han Xiao felt that the effect of the Longevity Green Wood True Qi on him was not as great as the effect on his body.
Thinking about it, he now had a strength of thousands of pounds. In Uncle Zhong's opinion, even Uncle Zhong couldn't compare to Han Xiao in terms of physical strength. However, Jin Ling 'er mocked him by the side and said that what was the use of strength? If strength could solve the problem, why not everyone change to raising cows? Han Xiao felt that this was very reasonable, but Jin Ling' er looked at him with a very unreasonable gaze, as if he was a bull with strength.
Master and Uncle Zhong didn't come back for lunch. Han Xiao, his wife, and the others had lunch and went straight into the study room. Han Xiao was immersed in the Mountain of Books and the Sea of Wenhai when he felt a heavy pat on his shoulder. Han Xiao was shocked and reflexively pressed his left hand on his shoulder and swung his right arm with an elbow strike. The elbow strike missed, and he twisted his waist and kicked his legs repeatedly.
These movements were done in one go. When Han Xiao raised his legs, he knew that they were broken. Was there an outsider on this mountain? From the feeling coming from his feet, it seemed that he had kicked them. However, no one cried out in pain, nor did he send them flying. When Han Xiao opened his eyes, he saw that his left leg had stood up straight, and his right leg had kicked into the hands of his master's wife.
Han Xiao was shocked and quickly withdrew his leg to apologize. Jin Ling 'er poked her head out from behind her master's wife and smiled."Senior Brother, what are you looking at? If I wasn't agile, I would have been killed by you!”After saying that, he even stuck out his tongue at Han Xiao.
Han Xiao's face was flushed red with embarrassment. He knelt down and said to his master's wife,"I'm sorry, Master's wife, I was too engrossed in reading, it's really…"
Before Han Xiao could finish, Ye Shuangyue helped him up and took the book from his hand. She glanced at it and said,""Xiao Zhen on the Greater World Cultivation." Ye Shuangyue shook her head and smiled." Both Uncle Zhong and your master are good elders, but they may not be good teachers.”
Ye Shuangyue pulled Han Xiao to sit at the stone table and said to Han Xiao and the others,""All of you are sitting here. I have my difficulties, so I can't give you too much guidance on cultivation. I will teach you what I need to teach you. Today, you can tell me the questions in your hearts and I will answer them.”
Han Xiao and Jin Ling 'er quickly sat down at the stone table. Jin Ling' er smiled at Ye Shuangyue."Master's wife, you also know that there are some things that we don't dare to ask even if Master doesn't tell us. Besides, he's been cooped up in his room all day and we don't know what he's doing. We also don't dare to go in and disturb him, so…"
Ye Shuangyue smiled at Jin Ling 'er. You don't have to keep me in suspense to please me. Instead of asking something that you don't know, it's better to ask something practical. You can't say what you can't say even if you ask.”
"Then, can you tell me what the world in the Central Plains is like?" Jin Ling 'er asked.”
Ye Shuangyue smiled." Don't worry. Your master and I will not trap you on the mountain for the rest of your lives. No matter how good this place is, you will have to go out and experience the world. It will be good for your cultivation.”
At this moment, Han Xiao suddenly said," Actually, this disciple is willing to serve Master and Mistress for the rest of my life. I'm not particularly interested in the matters of this world.”
Seeing Han Xiao's serious expression, a warm smile appeared on Ye Shuangyue's face.""It's fine as long as you have the heart. However, this mountain isn't your world after all. This world is full of prosperity and beauty, and the hearts of the people are sinister. There are invincible experts, and your master and I have seen the rise and fall of the dynasty. Naturally, there's nothing to regret.”
Ye Shuangyue's words were like a gentle breeze, flowing into the hearts of others like flowing water. However, it made them unable to feel anxious. Seeing that Han Xiao was still trying to argue with her, Ye Shuangyue continued,""Let's not talk about this. If your skills are not good enough, your master and I would rather tie you to Heaven Piercing Peak than let you go down the mountain to embarrass yourselves. You might even lose your lives. Think about what you don't understand and tell me if I can help you.”
Seeing this, Han Xiao pondered for a moment and said,"Master's wife, what I saw in Master's study were mostly travel notes on famous mountains and great rivers. There weren't many books on cultivation, only some simple moves of martial artists. Some profound insights were recorded by Master, but they seemed to be ambiguous. I really don't understand.”
Ye Shuangyue did not expect Han Xiao to ask this question. After a moment of silence, she said,""What is cultivation? I think many great cultivators in the world can't give you an accurate or consistent answer to this question. In the eyes of your master and me, the so-called cultivation is to fight against the heavens.”
"Fight against the heavens?" Han Xiao was even more confused when he heard what his master's wife said.
Ye Shuangyue organized her words and said,""Legend has it that the world was chaotic at the beginning of the world, and then the clear and turbid were divided into Yin and Yang. After thousands of years of nurturing, the world gave birth to all things in the world, and what gave birth to all things in the world was the spiritual qi between the world.
When did the world begin with humans, and why did humans become the leader of all living things? The advantage of being the leader of all living things might be how to use the spiritual energy of heaven and earth summed up by the predecessors.
Human strength is limited at times. How to use the limited human strength to control the endless spiritual qi of heaven and earth is cultivation. Moreover, people's life is not smooth sailing. I think the initial purpose of cultivation is to eliminate diseases and disasters and to protect oneself.
In the ancient times, people were the weakest of all living things in the world. Ants would not look up to the goshawk in the sky, and the goshawk could not threaten the ants that lived under the soil. However, there were countless threats to human survival in the world. Floods, natural disasters, poisonous snakes, ferocious beasts, and all kinds of diseases. I think the sages of the past have racked their brains to explore the use of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in order to better survive.“
Han Xiao and Jin Ling 'er didn't say anything else after hearing this. They didn't expect that the cultivation that was amazing in their eyes was just for survival. Jin Ling' er thought that even the great wizard of her tribe might not be able to explain cultivation like this.
Han Xiao digested these insights that could not be found in books and asked again,"Master's wife, I want to know if the cultivation of the world is like us?”
Ye Shuangyue smiled." Of course not. Even though it is said that all techniques are based on the same origin, and all cultivation is to control the spiritual energy of the world, there is more than one type of spiritual energy in the world, so there are countless cultivation methods. Your master, Uncle Zhong, and I cultivate martial arts, which has the most number of cultivators in the world. Martial arts is the most common path of cultivation, but the path is difficult and difficult to complete. However, every martial artist at the peak is a grandmaster who has shaken the world.”
"Then, masteress, what is the peak of martial dao? How many divisions are there in armaments?" Han Xiao continued to ask.”
Hearing Han Xiao's question, Ye Shuangyue smiled.""You want to know how powerful you are now, right?”
Seeing that his thoughts had been seen through by his master's wife, Han Xiao rubbed his nose in embarrassment.
Ye Shuangyue continued," Martial cultivation is mainly divided into two stages, Xiantian and Houtian. Houtian is to cultivate one's physical body, while Xiantian is to cultivate one's physical body to a certain level to break through the restrictions of the laws of the world on the human body and control the spiritual energy of the world.
There is no clear division of Houtian, but martial arts cultivation is mainly about body refinement, bone exchange, and rebirth to advance to Xiantian. In my opinion, only when you advance to the Xiantian realm can you be considered to have touched the threshold of cultivation. Therefore, strictly speaking, you are not considered to be cultivating now.
Xiantian masters were divided into Qi Condensation, True Kang, and Knowing Destiny. Reborn was a master at the peak of Houtian, and Knowing Destiny was at the peak of Houtian, but not the peak of Martial Arts. It was said that Martial Cultivators who had broken through to the peak of Martial Arts were no longer pure Martial Cultivators. However, for some reason, this world had a particularly strong suppression on cultivators. The peak of Xiantian was already rare in the world, but no one had heard of a master who had broken through to the peak of Martial Arts and reached the Limitless State. Then what realm do you think you are at now, Xiao 'er?”Ye Shuangyue teased Han Xiao.
Han Xiao rubbed his nose and muttered,"So I've only just started!"”His tone was inevitably a little disappointed. He thought that he should have made some achievements after working so hard. He did not expect that he had only just entered the threshold after cultivating for several years.
Ye Shuangyue continued," You don't have to belittle yourself. You and Jin Ling 'er are in a special situation. Your master deliberately suppressed the increase in your cultivation level. You should be in the middle of refining your body and changing your bones. These so-called cultivation levels are a common way of dividing the world. However, to your master and I, unless you enter the Connate Realm, you will achieve nothing. A tall building starts from the ground, and only by laying a good foundation can you make progress.”
"Then Master's wife, how can I enter the Xiantian Realm?" Jin Ling 'er interrupted.”
When Han Xiao heard that this was the main point, he quickly turned to look at his wife, but Ye Shuangyue smiled and said nothing. After a while, she said,"" There's no way to teach you the method to enter the Connate Realm. Everyone's process of entering the Connate Realm is different. In Buddhism and Taoism, you've comprehended it. The key is this word. When you've reached the realm and cultivated enough, you'll know what it feels like. That's why your master didn't instill his ready-made martial arts concept that contains his own ideas into you. That might have been effective at the beginning, but it would have been a great hindrance later on. A dragon had nine sons, and each of them was different, but each of them surpassed their father.”
"Then how did you enter the Xiantian realm?”It was Jin Ling 'er who asked this question. Han Xiao didn't have the guts to ask.
Ye Shuangyue smiled." I've understood it. It means that I've entered the realm, not the realm. Girl, even though the realm is important, it's not omnipotent. In the past, there was someone who used his own persistence to comprehend the Postnatal Sword Force and forced a Connate Master to retreat without spitting out blood. Although the realm is important, it's not everything.”
"Oh, who is this person?”Han Xiao hurriedly asked.
Ye Shuangyue's face revealed a look of reminiscence, and her eyes were bleak as she said,"" That person is the Heavenly Sword Saint of the Kingdom of Yangming, Ao Bai. He used his talent as a mortal, the cultivation method of the secular world, and the sword technique that he comprehended with heaven and earth as his teacher, shaking that era. The process of that person entering the Connate Realm was witnessed by everyone in the world, but few people could learn from it.
On that day, Ao Bai fought against a Xiantian master at the peak of the Houtian realm. Ao Bai was arrogant and lonely. He was forced by words to do what he knew he could not do. However, it was this battle that allowed Ao Bai to enter the Xiantian realm at the border of life and death and kill his opponent. " When a cultivator reaches the peak of the Postliminary Realm, there will be a feeling in their heart. They should find a quiet place to stabilize their cultivation and work hard to reach the Connate Realm. If they were careless during a battle, they would go mad and die." Ye Shuangyue sighed, and Han Xiao did not dare to ask further.
"Mother, do you and Father know him?" Ling Long whispered.”
Ye Shuangyue smiled." Your father and I are best friends. Even though he is a man of few words, his heart is the best. It's just that I don't know how he is after so many years.”
Han Xiao originally wanted to ask why she didn't visit him, but he remembered that there must be some hidden secrets that Master's wife and Master lived in seclusion in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Since Master's wife didn't say it, she had her own reasons.
"Then what realm are you and Master at now?" Jin Ling 'er asked curiously.”
Ye Shuangyue smiled." How can a disciple of the top scorer have a master? So what if your master and I have not reached the Connate level? As long as you can surpass your master, that's more important than anything else.”However, seeing that not only Han Xiao and Jin Ling 'er were curious, but even Ling Long was looking at her curiously, Ye Shuangyue said,""Your master and I have our own strengths, but Zhitian is knowledgeable. I can't compare to him in this aspect. We are now between True Nirvana and Knowing Destiny.”
"What?!"
Han Xiao and Exquisite didn't have a deep understanding of these so-called realms, but Jin Ling 'er was different. He knew what the so-called True Nirvana and Knowing Destiny meant. Even the Great Wizards in the tribe had only entered the Connate Realm. Although the Great Wizards were not martial cultivators, they were able to comprehend the difference by analogy. At this time, Jin Ling' er knew how powerful her master was.
Ye Shuangyue ignored Jin Ling 'er's surprise and looked at the two disciples in front of her thoughtfully. Ye Shuangyue suddenly said,""Due to some reasons, I can't teach all of you what I know, but I still have some tricks. I've said that your circumstances are rather special. You can be considered martial cultivators, but you've all opened your spiritual altars and ignited your divine flames. This makes you different from ordinary martial cultivators!”
