The old man turned out to be Mingzun, or Minghuang.
This discovery deeply shocked Zhuang Jiutian's mind. Thinking back to the time when the old Taoist taught him all kinds of spiritual knowledge in a low-key manner, Zhuang Jiutian knew that he was extraordinary, but he did not expect that the other person turned out to be at the ceiling level of this world.
exist.
No wonder all kinds of tricky and weird questions can't stump the other party.
Recalling the strange expression on Emperor Pluto's face when he first entered the cave, Zhuang Jiutian speculated whether it was the Emperor Pluto who was about to "seize" in his later years and felt the aura of Emperor Huangtian, so he appeared in front of him. Maybe the other party already knew about him.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the other party would try his best to teach me various cultivation methods.
After calming down the shock in his heart, Zhuang Jiutian felt boundless happiness.
Although the Hades Emperor did not teach him the Art of Overcoming Tribulation, nor did he give him extreme weapons for protection, he explained the "Natural Sutra" in detail and even made great extensions and sublimations.
Zhuang Jiutian felt that the foundation cast by the "Natural Sutra" in the early stages of practice would not be weaker than other Tianzun sutras.
Before he started to practice, there was a Heavenly Master who taught him various knowledge and experiences step by step. For Zhuang Jiutian, a newbie in practice, it was no less than opening a practice plug-in.
Even though his physique cannot be compared with the geniuses in this world, there is no qualitative difference in terms of various heretical things used to assist in spiritual practice.
Back in the cave, Zhuang Jiutian was looking at everything in the cave, and he was no longer as confused as before.
For example, the sword that he had high hopes for before was a sealed legendary holy weapon (great holy weapon) called the Cold Crystal Sword, and it came with a set of extremely powerful "Nine Strikes of Cold Crystal".
Pluto Emperor said that after it is mastered, its attack power will be 70% of the "Holy Fighting Method" among the Nine Secrets. If the "Nine Strikes of Cold Crystal" can be further condensed into "Three Strikes of Cold Crystal", it is expected to be able to achieve
Ninety percent of the effect of the "Dou" character secret. If it can be condensed into one blow, it can be compared with the Dou Zi secret.
There is also the "Natural Sutra" recorded on the animal skin. It is also a sutra that can be practiced to the level of a great sage. Moreover, it is not only a simple cultivation method, but also a sutra that explains the way of nature. It can
It helps practitioners to understand the "Natural Nature Sutra" that is most suitable for personal practice. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "Mother of Nature Sutra" at the level of a great sage.
It is not so much a practice scripture as it is an outline to guide practice. It is similar to the "Original True Interpretation" of the chaotic ancient times. Of course, the levels of the two cannot be compared, but the concepts are similar.
So much so that when Emperor Pluto interpreted the "Natural Sutra" for Zhuang Jiutian, he praised it highly and said that the person who created this sutra had great wisdom.
As for the stone bed that can help people recover, Zhuang Jiutian also asked Hades Emperor, why is it so magical?
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】
The Hades Emperor did not hide his clumsiness and told him directly that he felt comfortable because there was a piece of pure heart sacred jade inside the stone. This jade has an effect on practitioners under the saint.
It's perfect for use as a bed.
The largest medicinal garden in the cave is the focus of Zhuang Jiutian's understanding.
The Pluto Emperor did not hesitate to teach him and answered him one by one.
The small red fruit trees in the outer circle are actually low-level spiritual fruits. The small red fruits are called red berries. Although they are rich in spiritual energy and can satisfy mortals' hunger, they have little effect on practitioners. For practitioners in the secret realm on the other side, they are just
It has no effect anymore.
But Pluto told him that red berries also have another characteristic. If they are made into jam, they can enhance the taste of various barbecues and make the essence of the barbecue easier to absorb and refine.
If the meat of a spiritual beast is roasted, it has the effect of resolving evil spirits to a certain extent, so that if you use it as a dipping sauce for barbecue, mortals can eat the roasted spiritual beast meat with confidence.
After hearing this explanation, Zhuang Jiutian couldn't help but become curious about the original owner of the cave. Was he also a foodie?
Zhuang Jiutian, who is no longer a novice in spiritual practice, knows that although the meat of spiritual beasts is rich in huge amounts of essence, it also contains evil spirits that are harmful to mortals. Eating it by mortals is harmful and useless.
In the world of cultivation, if there is no special method, it is best not to eat meat across levels. For example, practitioners in the secret realm of the Wheel and Sea cannot digest the meat of monsters in the secret realm of the Tao Palace. They can only eat it with confidence unless they use magic power to refine harmful substances.
.
Of course, this is not absolute, but if eaten raw, it will be harmful rather than beneficial.
With Zhuang Jiutian's physique, let alone the meat of spiritual beasts, even in this world, he cannot eat the meat of some ferocious beasts. After all, his origin is not enough. If he wants to absorb the energy in the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts, he needs to consume himself.
Energy.
Building the foundation is the key. Only by absorbing a large amount of life essence first, stepping into the door of cultivation, and possessing the ability to refine and transform the energy, can he eat meat with confidence and boldness.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon where Hades had sat for more than a month, Zhuang Jiutian began to study the "Black Turtle Treasure" that Hades taught him when he left.
The practice of Luan Ancient Dharma pays more attention to the influence of the environment.
It is probably impossible to practice the chaotic ancient method to the supreme state in the world at this time. But if it is used to build the foundation, it is still a good method, which can use external forces to strengthen the body to the maximum extent.
After comprehending it carefully for two hours, Zhuang Jiutian opened his eyes and said to himself: "The Black Turtle Treasure Technique is indeed the supreme secret method for cultivating one's body and nourishing one's life."
The "Black Turtle Treasure Technique" taught by the Hades Emperor is not complete and can only be practiced to the realm of the Venerable, but it is enough for Zhuang Jiutian to complete the foundation building.
What pleased Zhuang Jiutian the most was that after cultivating to the realm of the venerable, Emperor Pluto also taught him a method called "The Method of Incorporating the Body and Returning to the Origin", which allowed him to cut off his cultivation base without damaging his foundation and transform all his cultivation bases.
Become the source of innate life and strengthen its foundation.
The origin of life can be divided into innate and acquired.
Some beings are born with strong origins, and their cultivation is smooth and rapid, while for those whose life origins are not strong, their cultivation seems a bit slow.
Zhuang Jiutian guessed that the sacred physiques of this world, such as the Innate Holy Body, the Heavenly Tyrant Body, and the Innate Dao Fetus, are special because their life sources are extremely powerful.
The reason why mortals can't practice as fast as them is because their life origin is weak and not enough to support the breakthrough. They need to refine a huge amount of life essence into acquired origin before they can progress bravely.
And because the Sea of Bitterness is weak, its ability to absorb life essence from the outside world is much slower than those with special physiques. Therefore, most mortal practitioners, in their limited lifespan, often end up in the secret realm of the Wheel and Sea if there are no additional opportunities.
According to Zhuang Jiutian's physique, if he had practiced the method of covering the sky from the beginning, he would most likely not be able to create a spring of life in the sea of suffering when his life span was exhausted, let alone build a sacred bridge and reach the other shore.
Sure enough, having a reliable and powerful teacher to teach you at the beginning of practice will help low-level practitioners avoid many detours and gain guidance on the best growth path.
Of course, after reaching a high level of cultivation, you will mainly rely on enlightenment to move forward, and life essence will no longer be the main obstacle. Otherwise, major holy places and aristocratic families will never be in danger of decline.
After understanding the joints, Zhuang Jiutian did not start practicing blindly.
Instead, he checked the formation barrier of the cave.
Although he was not able to arrange it himself at this time, he already knew where the formation was. The Hades Emperor had casually helped him restore the formation that had been destroyed by the Sky-Swallowing Bird.
And restored the power of the formation to its original state.
The formation in the cave is a king-level formation. It was vulnerable before, mainly because of the temporary arrangement and the passage of time, which made the formation's restrictions extremely weak.
At this time, Zhuang Jiutian had the jade talisman of entry and exit given by Emperor Pluto, and he no longer had to be trapped in the cave as usual.
It's just that Emperor Ming did not unlock the restrictions on the medicine garden and the secret room for Zhuang Jiutian. According to Emperor Ming, if he wants to obtain the elixir in the medicine garden, he needs to practice hard and then break it by himself. As for the things in the secret room, Ming Huang
Huang Ye also told Zhuang Jiutian that there were dozens of ordinary pure sources in it, and even many blocks of divine sources, as well as countless other cultivation materials.
The writings were all left by the king who once retreated there. After he transformed into a Taoist, those resources remained.
According to Pluto Emperor, if he obtains the resources inside, it will be enough for him to complete the cultivation of the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.
As for the mature green-scaled fruit in the medicine garden, it no longer emits fragrance after it is completely mature. The reason why the green-scaled fruit attracts the attention of those vicious birds is because its medicinal effect can make the vicious birds reborn.
Create a more powerful demon body.
Of course, the human race can also use it, but it needs to be combined with another elixir, hydrangeas, to refine it into a pill. After taking it, it can assist in cultivating the indestructible body of the vajra, making the human body comparable to powerful monsters.
As for the method of cultivating the indestructible body, Emperor Hades also taught Zhuang Jiutian.
Zhuang Jiutian can't wait to obtain the indestructible Vajra body. Because the Pluto Emperor said that the Dacheng Vajra indestructible body is similar to the immortal golden body of the Holy Body. And he wants to exert the indestructible Vajra body.
For the best effect on the body, it is best to practice it to perfection before entering the fourth-level secret realm, and the earlier it is achieved, the better the effect will be.
Zhuang Jiutian once asked, what would happen if one could develop the indestructible body to perfection before opening up the sea of suffering?
The Pluto Emperor just smiled and said that his physique will not be weaker than those of the innate saints.
Of course, Zhuang Jiutian was just thinking about it. With his qualifications, it was simply impossible to practice this skill before opening up the sea of suffering.
In the following month, Zhuang Jiutian was not in a hurry to practice. Instead, he combined the shallow breathing method he had learned before and the black turtle magic taught by the Hades Emperor to create a black turtle breathing method, which was mainly used for refining essence.
Transform qi and strengthen your body.
After another day of breathing and breathing, Zhuang Jiutian finally encountered a bottleneck. Continuing breathing and breathing meant that he could no longer feel his physical strength.
Simple red berries are no longer enough to provide the various energy needed to nourish the body.
Eating meat can solve the fundamental problem.
For Zhuang Jiutian, it is already an urgent matter to leave the cave and enter the wilderness.
