White Camelback, inside Chen Pingzhidong, the foundation building monk of the Chen family.
But it was said that after Zhou Yang entered the retreat room of the Chen family's foundation-building monks, he did not immediately take the "Foundation-Building Pill" to attack the foundation. Instead, he closed his eyes and concentrated on the cold jade bed in the retreat room, and once again recalled what his predecessors had to say about building a foundation.
Experience summary of the basic process.
According to the experience of senior practitioners in the cultivation world, there are three difficulties in building a foundation, namely the spiritual consciousness level, the magic power level, and the physical body level.
At the level of spiritual consciousness, once a monk at the ninth level of Qi training makes up his mind to attack the foundation, many illusions will appear in his mind to confuse the monk's consciousness. If the monk cannot break through these illusions and let his consciousness transcend, he will eventually be consumed in boundless illusions.
Sit down with all your strength.
It is worth mentioning that the "Spiritual Consciousness Pass" tests whether the cultivator's heart towards the Tao is firm and whether his will is firm. There are few external objects that can help the monks who pass the pass at this level, and neither can the Foundation Establishment Pill.
However, according to previous experience, basically as long as they are not naturally weak-willed or mentally immature, it is not difficult for a normal ninth-level Qi-training monk to pass the "Spiritual Consciousness Level". This level is also the easiest of the three levels of foundation building.
of a level.
After the monks pass through the "divine consciousness level", their spiritual consciousness will undergo transformation, and the intensity of their spiritual consciousness will double in a straight line. At this time, they can use the transformed powerful spiritual consciousness to compress their mana, condense their magic power, and break through the "mana power level".
.
Everyone knows that the mana of monks in the foundation building stage is several times that of the ninth level monks in the Qi training stage, but why is this so?
The reason lies in the difference in the form of mana between the two.
Although monks in the Qi-training stage can also absorb and refine external spiritual energy to produce mana, the form of their mana in the Qi-training stage is just an ethereal and illusory mist, which is very unreal.
However, the mana form of monks in the foundation-building stage is as continuous as water, real and true.
If a bucket of mist weighs a bucket of water, it's obvious who is stronger and who is weaker.
Therefore, if monks in the Qi training period want to successfully build the foundation, they need to compress and condense their own mana. The gaseous mana mist is compressed and condensed into liquid mana essence. This is the second level of the three levels of foundation building, the "mana level".
.
It should be noted in particular that although the "Mana Level" is only the second level among the three levels of foundation building, its difficulty and danger level make it the first level worthy of the name.
In order for a monk to pass the "mana barrier", first of all, the spiritual consciousness must be strong enough to compress and condense the gaseous mana; then, the meridians must be tough enough to withstand the pressure generated by the highly condensed mana. This is particularly important.
Most of the monks who failed to build the foundation were because their meridians could not withstand the pressure of highly condensed mana. During the process of mana flowing through the meridians, their meridians were burst and their bodies exploded, causing them to die.
The effect of the Foundation Establishment Pill is now revealed.
As long as a monk takes the Foundation Building Pill when building the foundation, the power of the pill will permanently enhance the toughness of the monk's meridians, and temporarily form a protective film in the monk's meridians to protect the meridians from damage.
Therefore, when monks who take the Foundation Establishment Pill attack the Foundation Establishment, as long as they do not seek death and know that they cannot do it, they can dissipate the condensed magic power before the meridians are exploded and save their own lives.
Even if the monks who have not taken the Foundation Establishment Pill want to do this, there is not enough time for them to do this.
When the condensed mana passes through the main meridians of the monk's body, and after tempering these meridians and returning to the Dantian Qi sea, the "mana pass" is passed.
At this time, we have reached the last level of the three levels of foundation building, the "physical level".
The physical level tests the monk's physical vitality. When the monk passes the "mana level", the phenomenon of "spiritual energy filling the body" will be triggered. At that time, the spiritual energy from the outside world will actively rush into the monk's body.
The amount and speed are many times stronger than the amount and speed absorbed by the monks' daily operation skills.
Most of the spiritual energy that rushes in will be refined by the monks into mana and true energy that fills the empty Dantian Qi sea, but a small part will be tempered and strengthened by the monks' physical bodies.
At this time, if the monk is over sixty, his body begins to age at an accelerated rate, or his limbs are disabled, or he has suffered any hidden injuries that have damaged his body in the past, he is very likely to be exploded alive by the influx of spiritual energy.
Even if some people are lucky enough to survive with serious injuries, their longevity and strength after foundation building will be affected because their bodies are not fully tempered and strengthened.
At the same time, because this level tests the physical integrity and physical vitality of the monks, the role that the Foundation Establishment Pill can play is not particularly great. Although the spiritual objects used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill include a third-level method for restoring the physical vitality of the monks.
The spiritual object "Earth Spiritual Milk".
When a ninth-level Qi training monk has completely passed the three levels of foundation building, his consciousness, mana, and lifespan will all reach the standards of a monk in the foundation building stage, which means that the foundation building is successful.
"My spiritual consciousness is naturally much stronger than other people's, and I have been born twice. In terms of knowledge and resistance to temptation, my consciousness is far superior to that of my peers and monks of the same level. There is no reason that most others can pass through the [spiritual consciousness barrier].
I can’t get through it!”
"Although [Mana Pass] is difficult and dangerous, I have a middle-grade spiritual root qualification, and I have the Foundation Establishment Pill to protect my meridians, so the probability of passing it is also very high!"
"[Physical Body Pass] may be difficult for other older monks, but I am only thirty-four years old this year. Even ordinary mortals are in their prime at this age. In addition, I have never suffered any serious injuries. Likewise,
There is almost no possibility of failure!”
"Furthermore, I have read the foundation-building experiences of the four foundation-building monks in my family, including what my grandfather Zhou Qian wrote after his failure in foundation-building. I am well aware of various situations during the foundation-building process and am well prepared to deal with them."
"I have so many advantages and have made so many preparations, how could I fail to build the foundation? What reasons would there be for it to fail?"
In the retreat room, Zhou Yang's closed eyes suddenly opened, his eyes shining brightly, full of belief in victory.
Then he closed his eyes again, followed the method summarized by the seniors in the spiritual world, and officially began to attack the first level of the foundation building level, "Divine Consciousness Level".
As soon as he started to attack the "Spiritual Consciousness Pass", Zhou Yang began to have many illusions in his mind. First, there were relatively low-level demonic sounds that disturbed his mind, and all kinds of overwhelming sounds that either tempted him to fall or intimidated him with fear.
It happened in his own mind, and he couldn't block it even if he wanted to. He could only rely on his own will to keep his heart still, and slowly get through it.
After this melancholy sound continued for several days, various phantoms of characters and environments appeared out of thin air in Zhou Yang's mind. These characters include the family elders he has dealt with in his life, such as the deceased old man Zhou Quan,
Elder Zhou Jun and others also have his bosses, colleagues, parents, girlfriends and others from his previous life.
When the illusion was most vivid, Zhou Yang seemed to have returned to the office in his previous life. In front of him was the department head who was scolding him for using his mobile phone during work hours. Next to him were his colleagues who were gloating at his misfortune. Even the horns of cars turning around outside the office building were honking.
You can hear it clearly.
At that moment, he only felt that his decades of cultivating immortality were exactly what the department manager had said. It was just that Huang Liang Yimeng, who had been fascinated by it, did not have any boundless sea of sand to cultivate immortality, and there was no such thing as the Zhou family.
, everything is just a big dream that he imagined!
It's a pity that illusions are illusions after all. Although illusions are born from the heart and can simulate and reproduce the scenes that people have experienced in their hearts, they cannot be exactly the same in all aspects. In other words, the illusions that monks have to face when they attack the "divine consciousness gate"
It can't be that powerful.
After Zhou Yang experienced the initial panic, he quickly discovered the flaws in the illusion and quickly broke away from it.
In this way, he was able to break through the illusions that tried to deceive his mind time and time again, and his consciousness was refined and transformed through the baptism of illusions.
When he broke through the last illusion and completely passed the "divine consciousness barrier", the intensity of his divine consciousness increased nearly ten times compared to before, and the range of his divine consciousness reached a terrifying three thousand meters!
The strength of this spiritual consciousness can only barely reach this level for the monks who have just established the foundation, but also for the late-stage foundation-building monks such as the old patriarch Zhou Minghan who have built the seventh level of foundation.
After breaking through the "Spiritual Consciousness Pass", Zhou Yang calculated the time and found that ten days had passed since he entered the retreat room. Compared with the records of the senior monks he had read, this time was at least three points faster than those of those people.
one time.
This discovery doubled Zhou Yang's confidence, so after he took a short rest for a day to regain his energy, he immediately took the Foundation Building Pill and started to break through the "mana level".
It's not that he doesn't want to rest for a few more days, but because after the surge of spiritual consciousness, the pressure on the body has also increased a lot, resulting in a "top-heavy" situation.
If he cannot break through the "mana level" and "flesh level" in time and increase the strength of his magic power and body, his body will shrink because it cannot carry the powerful spiritual consciousness, until he dies.
The "Mana Level" is indeed the most difficult level among the three levels of foundation building. Zhou Yang's spiritual consciousness is powerful, several times that of ordinary new foundation building monks. There is not much problem in compressing and condensing mana. Others would spend more than ten days and dozens of times.
What he could do after countless failures only took him nine days and hundreds of failures before he succeeded.
However, when the highly compressed and condensed mana gushes out from the sea of dantian and flows into the meridians, his meridians have been strengthened by the Foundation Establishment Pill and protected by a protective film formed by the medicine, which is like being cut by a knife or burning.
The pain was still so painful that he grimaced and broke out in cold sweat.
Fortunately, the Foundation Establishment Pill lives up to its great reputation. The seemingly thin protective film not only lasts for up to a month, but is also very tough. Under its protection, Zhou Yang is most worried about the explosion of mana.
Never showed up.
After the mana and true energy flowed through the main meridians of his body, circulated for a long time and returned to the lower Dantian Qi sea, his holding heart was finally put back into his stomach.
As the mana and true energy returned to the Dantian Qi sea, the spiritual energy in the retreat room where Zhou Yang was located instantly became active. The rich spiritual energy forming a mist seemed to feel some kind of call, and it took the initiative to move toward Han Yu like a moth to the flame.
She pounced on him on the bed and penetrated him from every pore on his body.
