The principle of breaking through the first level is actually not fundamentally different from all previous realm improvements. It is a process of expanding the Dantian.
Use internal force to impact the Dantian wall to further enlarge the Qi sea, thus completing the breakthrough.
Of course, as the level increases, the Dantian will become more stable, so the difficulty will also increase.
This is why the path of spiritual practice becomes more and more difficult the higher you go.
If we say that the "impact force" required from the 9th to 8th level is like moving a stone.
Then going from the third level to the second level is basically the same as "moving mountains".
Thinking about it this way, you can imagine how terrifying the "power" required to break through to the first level would be.
But you must know that this is not the most difficult thing, nor is it the most fundamental reason why humans have only given birth to two first-class ones in thousands of years.
After all, it can be said that a foolish old man can move mountains, and gold and stone can be carved. As long as you keep trying anything, you will usually succeed one day.
But this is not the case when it comes to breaking through to the first level.
Because it only has one chance.
As Lao Zhangtou said before, breaking through the first level is different from breaking through other realms. If you fail, you can start over.
In the process of breaking through to the first level, as long as you fail, the result will be that you fall to the bottom and fall directly back to the ninth level.
And this undoubtedly means that a cultivator who has practiced hard for most of his life and finally reached the pinnacle of mankind will be completely reduced to a useless person.
The chance of success is extremely slim, and the cost of failure is extremely high.
Since this is the case, even if they have the pursuit of a higher realm in their hearts, most people do not dare to try it easily.
Even an organization like Kuilong, which was originally born to explore ways to break through the situation, will wait until the "experimental product" is approaching its end before letting it try to break through, in order to minimize the cost of failure.
There are only a handful of warriors who can reach the peak of the second level, but most of them dare not try...
Therefore, objectively speaking, the most fundamental reason why human beings have not always broken through the shackles of the first rank is here.
It is everyone's instinct to "seek advantages and avoid disadvantages", and it is the rationality after "weighing the advantages and disadvantages".
This is actually the real "fetter" of the first-level realm.
And it is precisely because of this that the "successful case" of Qin Zhengqiu is particularly important.
Everyone can't wait to know what this method that has been successfully used once is.
Then, Qin Zhengqiu's "Moon Sword" shoutout that night naturally became the focus.
In just half a month, almost all martial arts and martial arts with similar names to "Moon-Chasing Sword" in the world have been thoroughly investigated, and every possible clue has been found.
Countless spies came from all over the country to Shu, Daning, Dahan, and Xinfeng, and pieces of information converged into a vague outline.
Lao Zhangtou, Wei Changtian, Qin Zhengqiu, Lu Hongji, Chu Xianping... all the names that had interacted with the Moon Sword appeared in the ears of the leaders of the major forces.
If we exclude those who have died, the only remaining people who must know the truth about the Moon Sword are Qin, Wei, and Chu.
Qin Zhengqiu is already a first-class man, and he is alone. It is difficult to find his traces, and even if he is found, he may not be able to do anything to him.
There has been no news about Chu Xianping since he lost to Wei Changtian in a "bet" in Yongding City, and no one can find his whereabouts for the time being.
Therefore, if you want to find out the truth about the Moon Sword now, it seems that you can only start with Wei Changtian, who has not been "missing" yet...
The secret to breaking through to the first level.
Plus the fate of at least three Sons of Heaven.
If you want to ask who has the most "resounding" name in the world today, it is definitely Wei Changtian.
And when a person is under the "eyes of all the people", everything he has ever done will undoubtedly no longer be a secret.
Even though Wei Xianzhi and others tried their best to hide it, Wei Changtian's various past "feats" were still revealed.
At this point, people suddenly discovered that the mysteries surrounding this "Living Yama" were not actually the only two.
Whether it's a sixth-grade sword that kills a second-grade sword with one move, or a sword with the power of space, a martial skill that can control thousands of blades.
Even Xiao Feng's life was stripped bare.
If placed in a previous life, Wei Changtian might have shouted that his "privacy" had been greatly violated.
But in this world, he has no choice.
He even seemed to know nothing about it. No matter how turbulent it was outside, he could still drive peacefully. Apart from eating and sleeping every day, the only thing he did was tell Yang Liushi and Li Zimu the story of the Seven Kingdoms Struggle for Hegemony.
.
And just the day before the Tengu Army arrived at Fengyuan City, when he said the last sentence, "Now Qin has destroyed Qi and unified the world," the story finally came to an end.
...
...
"Ms. sir..."
In the carriage, looking at the smiling Wei Changtian, Yang Liushi had a complicated expression.
The story of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is naturally exciting, but the reason why she reacted like this was mainly because she vaguely heard a different meaning in it.
"What happens after that?"
After adjusting his mood, Yang Liushi asked softly: "What happened after Qin unified the seven kingdoms?"
"The cars track the same track, the books share the same text, the travels are the same, the land is the same, the weights are the same, and the coins are the same shape."
Wei Changtian replied very simply: "Then it will perish."
"Really? How long did the Qin Dynasty exist?"
"Fourteen years."
"Is it so short..."
Yang Liushi opened her mouth: "How long did it take for the Qin Dynasty to unify the seven kingdoms?"
"Fifteen years is exactly one year longer than its existence."
Wei Changtian smiled and shook his head: "How about it? Isn't it a bit of a trick of fortune?"
"Um......"
Yang Liushi nodded slightly, her mind so full of thoughts that she even forgot that this was just a story "made up" by Wei Changtian. She only felt as if there really was such a magnificent and sad history.
Outside the car, the "rumbling" sound of marching could be clearly heard, and the afternoon breeze gradually brought some coolness.
Late summer has gone and early autumn is approaching.
On the skyline, the outline of Fengyuan City seems to be vaguely visible, and the large farmland on both sides of the official road has gradually turned golden.
After the story was told and the questions were asked, the car fell into silence.
Wei Changtian looked at the vast fields outside through the car window, and then suddenly said at a certain moment:
"Zimu, go tell them that if you want to know about the Moon Sword, you can meet me at Fengyuan Palace tomorrow night."
"..."
Li Zimu suddenly raised his head and was stunned for a moment.
She naturally knew who this "they" was referring to, and that was why she was surprised.
But in the end, Li Zimu didn't ask anything, just waited for the carriage to stop slowly and then got out of the car.
"Ms. sir, you..."
On the other side, Yang Liushi did not react as quickly as Li Zimu. Only then did she finally understand what Wei Changtian was going to do, and her eyes widened for a moment.
"You, have you thought about it?"
"Of course I've thought about it."
Wei Changtian smiled and spoke calmly.
"Since we've all come to this point, let's just have a big game together."
