Hou Zi squeezed his time to the extreme. In the circle of spiritual practice, such ascetic practices are not uncommon; a small number of monks have been in this state all their lives, treating themselves as neither humans nor ghosts; the rest
Monks have more or less carried out such extreme practice in a special period.
Hou Zi belongs to the latter. He only oppressed himself in this way during this special period after Tongxuan. It would be fine for two years, but he couldn't guarantee it for a longer time. According to the guidance on spiritual practice in Taoist books, he would be in this state for a long time.
This state is not necessarily a good thing. It is always necessary to combine work and rest with a certain degree of relaxation.
What determines the results of practice is not only time, but also efficiency.
A month passed, and he opened his eyes in silence and sighed. After this month, there were gains and losses.
The gain lies in technique, and the loss lies in law.
Several techniques have made progress, and the one that has made the greatest progress is the natural Taoist body. This is due to his perfect fit with nature when he was in the upper realm, and he carelessly planted willows and trees.
His sword-control skills also progressed rapidly, thanks to his large number of flying attempts. Not only during a fixed flight time, but also when he was tired, tired, bored, and depressed, the best way to relieve his fatigue was to go out for a lap.
As he kept racing, he began to regard flying as his instinct. He estimated that in two months, flying would no longer be an obstacle to him, and he would be able to start flying and releasing his sword at the same time without having to deliberately control it.
The training of the true sword shape is also pretty good. Because the environment is in the poplar forest, the difficulty is much more difficult than in a normal open field, but this is his own choice; only the flying sword can be retracted and released in a more complex environment.
Only by being comfortable can you be handy in real battles. This truth is not difficult to understand.
Now his flying sword is far from reaching the limit of divine consciousness, but it has also extended the distance to thirty feet, and he can barely be regarded as a true swordsman.
The trouble lies in the two techniques. The Sanxiao Thunder Technique is slow to progress, and the Earth Escape Technique is as slow as a turtle crawling. He finally understood why there were so few people choosing these two techniques. Even if there were candidates, most of them would be used as subsidies.
Kung Fu, but he chose two at once.
After practicing for a month, the reason can probably be found. The Sanxiao Thunder Method requires a relatively special environment. It is best to be in a place with constant thunder and lightning all year round, but there are not many such places on the mainland.
The reason why few people choose the Earth Escape Technique is that its obscene performance is only one aspect, but its practice is the most difficult of the five elements. This is the price of its powerful underground ability.
Even if most monks want to practice Earth Escape, they will try it after they have achieved success in the main technique, so as not to delay the progress of their practice.
His backward reasoning system was shattered in the face of cruel facts. This is the tuition fee paid for believing in yourself but not trusting experience. It’s not that you shouldn’t be confident, but that you must have the capital to be confident.
I still want to persevere, and slightly adjust my practice plan, changing it to practicing Earth Escape in the morning and evening, and practicing three nights in the middle of the class. The exercises are dead, but people are alive. You cannot stick to the order of the main and supplementary exercises. Whichever one practices faster,
Whichever one you fix first.
But at this time, he had the idea in his heart to change to a normal technique. It was impossible to change the regular method of Sanxiao Thunder, which was related to the foundation of Feijian, so he could only change to Earth Escape.
Maybe, the Six Meridians Huangting Conclusion is a good choice?
Three months later, a sword light flashed across the poplar forest, accurately pruning the dead branches of a poplar tree. Then his body flashed, and a figure stood on the top of the poplar tree, swinging the poplar trees in the wind. Swing, up and down.
Over the past hundred days, I have experienced mixed joys and sorrows. Some things are going smoothly, and some are stagnant.
Under the natural Tao body, his body functions have reached a level of small success. This is a good choice; it is also where his intuition lies. Since Zifu's remaining observation is a gladiolus, of course, the natural Tao body can give it to him. Its biggest support is that you have to get a fire body to come out, but you just don’t know what to do.
The combination of flying and flying swords begins to become more and more perfect. When flying does not require deliberate control but is carried out by thought, and when the sending and receiving of flying swords has become instinctive, just like human breathing, then the combination of the two forms a The basics of vertical swordsmanship by famous swordsmen.
His flying sword could be controlled freely within the maximum range of his spiritual consciousness, and he could also exert the maximum power of his Dantian mana. This was originally a gratifying thing, but he couldn't be happy about it.
Because his cultivation progressed slowly, his spiritual consciousness could not be developed naturally. In this state, even if his flying sword ability had reached the level where he could learn swordsmanship, it was still quite inferior compared to others.
The spiritual consciousness ceiling of a monk in the Tongxuan Realm is around Li Xu, but now he is only a pitiful fifty feet, which means that he is holding a dagger and stabbing someone with a long sword...
The role of skills is greatly reduced. Combat ability is limited by a few rigid indicators. Distance, speed, and power are all shortcomings.
He can see closer than others, his shots are shorter than others, and his power and endurance are not as good... The root of all this is that his cultivation level is lower than others!
Suddenly I understood the truth of Peregrine Falcon. As long as I don't look closer than you and fight no shorter than you, then I can use my profound cultivation to bring you down!
And the first thing he eliminated was this correct answer.
After careful consideration, he decided to struggle for another six months; if the situation did not improve after half a year, he would return to Jincheng and change his exercises, changing Earth Escape to Six Meridians Huang Ting Judgment.
Changing the exercises six months after he entered Taoism was a huge blow to his self-confidence, and the impact was far-reaching. It determined that he would become more and more conservative in the future practice process, believe more and more in the experience of his predecessors, and become less and less afraid. If you are unique, you will become more and more mediocre.
All of this could have been avoided if he had a competent master or elder, but he didn't.
I revised my practice plan again and changed all three classes in the morning, afternoon and evening to Earth Element Escape, as a last-ditch effort; because although Earth Element Escape is progressing slowly, it is still crawling, while Sanxiao Thunder Method is not crawling at all. , this skill has really high environmental requirements, especially at the entry level.
As for the three swordsmanships, he does not plan to start two of them, but hopes to lay a stronger foundation so that he can get twice the result with half the effort in future swordsmanship training.
The only thing he is ready to start practicing is the sword attachment, which determines whether he has the chance to get close; for him now, close swordsmanship has become the only specialty he can use. If he loses this point again, , he is really useless.
He didn't understand why he, a good low-level strong man, turned into a weakling when he reached a new level.
There are many examples like this in the practice circle. It's small and big, but it's the charm of practice. It's also the reason why many monks are not convinced by strong people in the same realm. As long as I climb one step higher, maybe I can succeed. What about pressuring you?
After half a year, this was his last stubbornness.
