"I don't know if Zhong Xiu is really among the Tianfeng tribe." Shi Mu sighed lightly and said.
"Hey, Shitou wants a wife." Cai'er spread her wings and flew up from Shi Mu's shoulders, smiling.
Shi Mu raised his head and glared at him, and said: "I didn't know Xiu'er's trace before, but it didn't matter. Now that I have clues, I can't wait to find her immediately."
"Then let's go and have a look at the Tianfeng Clan. I just feel uncomfortable staying in this miserable place." Cai'er's eyes lit up when she heard this and she said immediately.
"Zhao Jian's Xuan Gong cultivation level is already higher than mine. Now the giant ape clan is in trouble internally and externally. How can I just leave without caring about it? Besides, the Tianfeng clan is not close to here. If I want to go, I'd better find someone who can help me."
A suitable reason." Shi Mu said.
"That makes sense. But I think Sister Zhong should be in the Tianfeng Clan. When you finish the matter here, I will go look for her with you." Cai'er comforted her.
"That's all we can do for the time being." Shi Mu nodded and said.
…
A few days later, in the secret room of the cave.
"What? Shitou, you want to retreat again?" Cai'er said reluctantly.
"Yes, my cultivation has been at the early stage of the holy level for a long time. Now that I have obtained the skills of the White Ape Ancestor, I naturally have to learn about it. What's wrong?" Shi Mu sat cross-legged in the middle of the stone bed in the secret room and said.
"It's nothing. I just think this is someone else's territory. We are unfamiliar with the place here. Isn't it unsafe for you to retreat?" Cai'er said seriously.
"After all, I have the false title of fourth elder. Although the third elder has some criticisms of me, I understand that they dare not do anything to me openly. As for secretly... if they are not afraid of death, they can just come." Shi Muwen
He said with a smile.
"But, Shitou, if you retreat...what should I do? I can't hold myself to death here?" Cai'er said helplessly.
"Haha, I didn't say that you have to stay here. I have other important things to give you." Shi Mu said.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Cai'er asked.
"While I'm practicing, please help me find out the whereabouts of the two original objects, fire and water, and see if I can find any clues." Shi Mu said seriously after pondering for a moment.
"Oh, I know about this. Without these things, you can't continue to practice!" Cai'er listened and nodded.
"When the Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong enters the seventh revolution, it has already started to prepare for the next nine revolutions. Therefore, even if you have the original object and a suitable environment, each subsequent revolution will become more and more difficult to practice."
Shi Mu said thoughtfully.
"It seems that Shitou has gained new insights during this time?" Cai'er asked.
"Before, in the secret realm, the remnant soul of the White Ape Ancestor had intentionally given some advice. I didn't understand it at the time, but after calming down for the past few days, I became more and more aware of the profound meaning contained in his words." Shi Mu nodded.
"Oh, what is it? Tell me." Cai'er said curiously.
"The practice of Nine Revolutions Xuan Gong is a step-by-step process. Only by integrating and condensing the other attributes in my body so that each attribute reaches a balanced state in my body can I enter the next stage of practice.
.And as the attributes in the body increase, it becomes more difficult to maintain this balanced state." Shi Mu said.
In fact, Shi Mu only achieved the balance of yin and yang in the first three rounds of practice. After all, the third round of practice is, in a certain sense, the way to balance the power of yin and yang.
In subsequent trainings, in order to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible, each turn of his was just a reluctant fusion of the previous attributes, without reaching a true balance. As a result, the three attributes of metal, wood, and earth in his body have gradually become difficult to master.
Feeling in control.
If it weren't for the remnant soul of the white ape in the secret realm, he probably wouldn't have thought of this.
"Previously Master Su Sheng also said that when the Nine Transformations of Xuan Gong is completed, the cultivation of all those who practice the Nine Transformations of Xuan Gong in each star field will flow into the body of the person who has achieved Dacheng. That situation is no different from the thousands of flows into the sea.
There is a huge difference, so practitioners must have extremely strong blood and physique to be able to withstand it. According to my experience in practicing Xuan Gong, in addition to the above two points, there is another very important aspect.
It is to achieve the balance of yin and yang and the five elements in the body." Shi Mu continued to explain.
Balance means stability.
"I still don't understand why I'm getting more and more confused the more I listen." Cai'er shook her head like a wavy drum.
Shi Mu thought for a while and explained: "For example, if you have an extremely sharp sword, if you want to put it in it, you must use the strongest scabbard."
"When you say this, I understand. It means that if you want to eat the most spiritual stones, you must have this kind of appetite and stomach, right?" Cai'er suddenly realized.
After hearing this, Shi Mu couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "You're such a tough guy."
"Then Zhao Jian has already achieved the seventh level. Shi Mu, you said it is so difficult. Doesn't it mean that it is completely impossible to catch up with him?" Cai'er said worriedly.
"It's not that pessimistic. I said this is a challenge but also an opportunity. Although Zhao Jian has completed the seventh turn, balancing the four attributes is not easy. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. As for the eighth turn, I'm afraid it will take even more time.
Long, let alone rank nine. So, although there is not much time left for me, I still have a chance." Shi Mu's eyes flashed slightly and he said.
"Shitou, after hearing what you said, why do I feel that the burden on my shoulders is so heavy? You said there is not much time, but how much time is there at most?" Cai'er asked.
"Judging from Zhao Jian's qualifications and the strength of Heavenly Court's support for him, I estimate that he will be able to fully integrate these four attributes in less than ten years. With the resources behind him, Heavenly Court has probably already prepared for him.
I have prepared the water-attributed origin objects needed for eighth-turn cultivation. If I want to start practicing eighth-turn at the same time, I must complete seventh-turn cultivation within ten years." Shi Mu pondered for a moment and said.
"Ten years, it's okay, okay. If it's just a few months, I'll be anxious to death." Cai'er said.
"In addition, during my period of seclusion, I can leave all the matters of inquiring about outside information to you." Shi Mu also instructed.
"Okay, Shitou, don't worry, I will try my best!" Cai'er stood on the stone table and patted her chest with her wings.
"Items of the origin of water and fire attributes are very precious, and it may be difficult to find them. You can ask Elder Bai Zang more, and you may be able to get information related to them." Shi Mu said.
"Okay. I'm pretty good at gathering information." Cai'er said with some satisfaction.
Shi Mu smiled and said: "That's right, the level of skill is second only to running away and gluttony."
"Okay, then you can start to retreat. I'm leaving." Cai'er waved her wings and was about to leave.
"Cai'er, don't leave yet. I almost forgot, there is something else I have to leave to you." Shi Mu suddenly thought of something and called Cai'er quickly.
"What's the matter?" Cai'er flew back to Shi Mu and asked.
Shi Mu flipped his wrist, and a piece of white paper appeared in his hand.
"Record all the materials recorded here. If you find any relevant information, please notify me." Shi Mu pointed at the seven or eight lines of small black characters on the paper and warned.
"Kunlun gold stone, Tianhe star sand, falling sea crystal..."
Cai'er recited the names of the spiritual materials on the paper word for word, and finally nodded to Shi Mu and said, "I remember them all."
"Okay. Be careful." Shi Mu finally gave instructions.
After that, Shi Mu took off a storage ring from his hand and put it on Cai'er's paw.
"Shitou, what are you doing?" Cai'er asked in surprise.
"It's full of spiritual stones, so save some." Shi Mu warned.
After hearing this, Cai'er was overjoyed and said while holding back her saliva: "I...I know."
"Go ahead."
After Cai'er left, Shi Mu sat quietly for a moment, then turned his palm over, and an ancient book immediately appeared on his palm.
It was the "Great Brahma Panwu Sutra" that the remnant soul of the White Ape Patriarch handed over to him.
Shi Mu twisted the title page of the book with one hand, and saw a golden light immediately lit up on the book, and a large area of densely packed golden characters emerged from it.
"Since I was a child, I have longed for freedom and loved to travel far away. I have traveled all over the three star regions of Tianhe, Miyang and Diyin, and I have gained something from all of them. This "Great Brahma Panwu Zhenjing" is from the Diyin star.
The ancient secret scroll obtained from an ancient killing array in the region is said to be the secret book of the Panwu clan, a powerful race in ancient times. When I first started compiling it, I didn't realize its excellence, but then I gradually became better and better, and then I realized its excellence.
There are ghosts and gods with unpredictable powers, and I am passing them on to you. You must practice diligently and reach the state of becoming a god as soon as possible."
This is what the White Ape Ancestor left behind.
Shi Mu couldn't help but follow the words that appeared on the page and read silently. Then these small golden words dissipated like smoke. Then, the page of the book ignited a golden flame and quickly disappeared.
"The sky and the earth are infinite, the universe is vast, mortal saints become gods, and the body of Panwu God is evolved..."
The "Dafan Panwu Zhenjing" is very long and written in ancient seal script. The content is obscure and difficult to understand. It took Shi Mu just to read the general outline for more than half an hour.
Whenever he writes down a page of text, the text on that page will disappear, and the page will be reduced to ashes in the golden flames.
But in the end, Shi Mu finally figured out that the Great Brahma Panwu Sutra was designed to gradually improve the physique of the monks through practicing the art of transformation, so that they could reach the point where a Vajra is indestructible and an Shura is indestructible.
Through the general outline, Shi Mu learned that this technique has three stages and nine stages. Each stage controls three stages. The first stage is called Chaofan, which starts with the cultivation of heaven. After completing the three stages, one can reach the peak of heaven.
His physique is far stronger than that of ordinary monks, and he has the ability to cut gold and jade.
The second stage is called Sainthood. After completing the third stage, you can reach the peak of the Saint stage. You will first obtain the body of gods and demons. Its body shape can be as big or small as you want. The largest one does not exceed a thousand feet. At this time, its body shape
They are an unusual species, capable of moving mountains and reclaiming seas.
The third level is called Yan Mo, and its three stages each correspond to the divine realm. Only when you reach this level can you truly obtain the body of a god and demon.
According to its description, in the early stage of the divine realm, the cultivator can break through the shackles of thousands of feet in one fell swoop by comprehending the way of heaven and earth. In the middle stage of the divine realm, the cultivator can refine the gods and transform them into voids. The cultivator can generate one and two arms. In the late stage of the divine realm, the cultivator can regenerate another head.
The arms eventually transformed into the body of a warrior god with three heads and six arms.
