Chapter 102 Cultivation progress
It has been half a year since Meng Xiang first met his master Cao Dabing, but he could count the number of times he saw Cao Dabing with one hand, because Cao Dabing had reached a critical juncture in cultivation. If he hadn't been worried about him, he would have been in seclusion long ago.
Usually, Meng Xiang doesn't understand anything he doesn't understand, so he goes to ask his second senior brother Qin Luochuan for advice, but Qin Luochuan has to manage the entire Lieyang Peak and various industries, and he also needs to repair it himself, so he can squeeze out very little time.
Meng Xiang was not unacceptable to this situation, because he had basically not practiced the fire-type Taoist technique in the past six months, but instead spent most of his time improving and perfecting his newly-created "Wanxiang Sword Technique".
One day, before dawn, Meng Xiang climbed up to the top of a strange stone on Lieyang Peak - the Immortal Stone, as he was used to, and sat facing east. During this period, he was perfecting a move in "The Sword Technique of All Things" - the rising sun, so he would watch the sunrise every day before dawn, hoping to experience the artistic conception required for the rising sun from the rising sun.
After practicing during this period and asking my master and senior brother for advice, Meng Xiang realized the difference between immortal martial arts and mortal martial arts. Mortal martial arts rely on moves. As long as the tricks are exquisite and skillful, it is no longer a problem to defeat the opponent.
However, the martial arts of immortals are different. If you only have moves but no artistic conception, you can only be considered a fancy style. The power you can exert is very limited. It is undoubtedly a dream to use this limited power to defeat opponents who are good at various Taoist techniques.
The most obvious point is that many Taoist techniques are attacked by long-range. Of course, immortal cultivators who practice martial arts can also use Taoist qi to activate weapons and attack long-rangely, but the attack distance is still relatively limited compared to many Taoist techniques.
Even if the attack can successfully approach the opponent, no matter how fast it is after such a long distance, it will take a certain amount of time, and this period of time is enough for the opponent to avoid or defend.
This does not mean that immortal cultivators who use martial arts are not as good as those who use Taoist techniques. The most obvious example is sword cultivators.
They can use sword-controlling techniques to conduct long-distance attacks, and their power is even sharper than most Taoist techniques. Fighting with many immortal cultivators who use Taoist techniques will not only not suffer any losses, but will instead gain considerable advantages.
However, cultivators who use other weapons are not as lucky as sword cultivators. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for them to throw out weapons and conduct long-distance attacks. Although there is the characteristic that the sword itself is more suitable for long-distance attacks, the main reason is that the sword has the status and popularity of the sword among cultivators.
The sword has a high status and with many cultivators using it, there are naturally some people who are willing to dig and increase the attack power of the sword. It is said that when the sword cultivators were originally like other cultivators who practiced various weapons, they also held the sword in their hands to attack. The sword-control technique was later created by Minghe.
Naturally, since there are still cultivators using other weapons until now, it means that other weapons are not useless, because they have a secret that as long as they can understand the artistic conception of the moves they use, they can compete with any type of cultivator.
When using a certain move, the power will increase greatly. If the user has a deeper understanding of the artistic conception, he can even create an effect similar to the field.
For example, Meng Xiang is now perfecting the "risen sun rises in the east". If his realization and cultivation have reached, when he uses it, a slowly rising sun will appear in the sky, whether it is day, night, or rainy days.
Under the sun's light, all the opponent's attacks will be like boiling water and pouring snow. The ice and snow melt instantly, and there is no trace. However, they themselves have to bear the majesty and power of the sun, and may even be turned into ashes.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the East only showed a faint white fish belly, without any shadow of the sun, but it was not like that in Meng Xiang's eyes, because he did not use his eyes, but the spiritual consciousness radiated through the Taoist seed.
In his spiritual sense, a faint purple smoke had appeared in the east, just like the hot air rising from the pot, and it became more and more and more thicker.
Meng Xiang immediately sat cross-legged and began to use the fourth level of "The Suzaku Fire God" to absorb the rising purple qi. Purple qi is the purest and peaceful among the yang qi, and has a great effect on any immortal cultivator who practices fire-based exercises. It can not only strengthen the fire-attribute Taoist qi in the body, but also purify the fire-attribute Taoist qi and make them purer.
At the same time, purple qi also has the effect of calming the state of mind. Because the fire nature breaks out of restlessness, people who practice fire-type exercises will also be affected by it, and their temperament becomes restless and fluctuates easily. This is also the fundamental reason why Cao Dabing is already the leader of the peak and still has such strong emotional expressions after seeing Meng Xiang's performance.
After three years of practice and nearly one year on Lieyang Peak and a total of four years, Meng Xiang has consolidated the realm of Taoist seeds. Of course, this is also related to the strong foundation he has laid by absorbing two Taoist seeds. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to do it in such a short time.
Now the Taoist seed in Meng Xiang's body is no longer what he showed Cao Dabing. It seems to have turned into an egg, with a hard shell on the surface, but it looks a little rough. However, after sucking a trace of purple air, its rough skin slowly becomes smoother and rounder, and the color becomes purer, and a hint of noble and pure purple is faintly revealed.
Meng Xiang knew that he had entered the fourth realm of cultivating immortality - warming up. This process is actually very simple. Just continuously input the absorbed spiritual energy into the Taoist seeds.
Warming and nourishing seems very simple, but it is extremely important for immortals, because many immortals cannot let the Taoist seeds be cute and will be stuck forever until their life span is exhausted and turned into a piece of loess.
When the east truly revealed a trace of purple and slightly red, Meng Xiang opened his eyes. Although the sun had not been exposed at this time, the purple air had changed in his spiritual consciousness, mixed with flame-like fire, which was the fire of the sun.
Although absorbing them usually has many benefits for immortals who practice fire-based exercises, it is a taboo in the stage of warming and nourishing. After absorption, it penetrates into the Tao seed. Not only can it not be able to warm it up, but it will cause great harm to it. Even if the attribute of the Tao seed is fire, it is still no exception.
In fact, Meng Xiang himself does not have this problem. No matter how much sun fire he absorbs, it will have no effect on him, because his body is not a Taoist seed known to Cao Dabing and others, but two. He opened his eyes before the sun came out to realize the artistic conception of the rising sun.
After Meng Xiang practiced the first level of "The Great Forefacial Demonic Art", he found that a ball with a human head appeared out of thin air in his sea of consciousness. However, it was not appropriate to say that it was a ball. At first glance, it looked more like a shadow because it seemed very empty. If the sea of consciousness was not his territory and he could feel every change in it, he might not have found its existence.
After the shadow-like ball appeared, Meng Xiang obviously felt that there was not enough spiritual energy, because a large part of the spiritual energy he absorbed from the outside would be snatched away by it. Even if he tried his best to let the spiritual energy flow to the fire-type Taoist species, it still had a way to suck a lot of spiritual energy away.
It would be fine if it was just that. After all, after ordinary Taoist species absorbed spiritual energy, they released Taoist energy to feed back to the cultivator themselves, but the shadow-like ball was not like this. It only entered and did not go out. Except that it became slightly clearer and some gray cotton-shaped things as thick as silk appeared inside, it had no change.
Meng Xiang asked Mo Tong, and the explanation she gave him made him speechless. This is the Taoist seed formed by "The Great Forefacial Demonic Art". What kind of Taoist seed is this? The fire-type Taoist seed that appeared at the same time as it absorbs more than half of the spiritual energy. It has grown from the size of a little fingertip to the size of a fist, but it can't even form it. It really doesn't have to absorb a lot of spiritual energy to be considered as the end.
After a period of observation and testing, Meng Xiang revealed that the Taoist seed formed by "The Great Formless Demonic Art" has one advantage. It eats everything and can be said to be without rejection. Moreover, its "appetite" is surprisingly good. No matter what you eat, it will not have adverse reactions.
The sun jumped out of the horizon, turning from an orange-red ball into a shiny fireball. Meng Xiang also stood up and jumped down from the immortal stone nearly a thousand feet high, like a light swallow flying towards his residence.
This is also one of the reasons why Meng Xiang insists on watching the sunrise on the immortal stone every day. After watching the sunrise, he can also practice flying Taoism.
Almost every cultivator will learn flying Taoism after forming a seed of Taoism. After all, everyone has the dream of flying freely in the air like a bird, but soon, they will choose to give up their practice.
After all, humans are not birds. Although they have Dao Qi after they become a Taoist species, and using Dao Qi to activate some Taoist techniques, such as flying techniques, can allow people who do not have the ability to fly into the sky, there are still essential differences between humans and birds. Therefore, although immortal cultivators can use flying techniques, they still consume a lot of Taoist energy.
The fundamental reason why humans can beat other species that are more powerful than humans is that they have extraordinary creativity, so people understand various flying magic weapons. Compared to flying directly with flying techniques, the consumption of Taoist energy with flying magic weapons is much less, and the degree is much faster.
