The flying boat moved forward rapidly. Under Fu Yun's control, the flying boat gradually began to climb.
Zhang Hao looked at the increasingly hazy world around him and gradually gained a more accurate understanding of Fu Yun and the people's 'world view' of this world.
Speaking of which, this world is indeed different from the earth.
According to Zhang Hao's temporary speculation, the world here is almost ten times the diameter of the Earth. Being on such a huge planet will obviously cause many things to change.
For example, the atmosphere becomes thicker; and as the atmosphere becomes thicker, its disturbance will inevitably increase, and there will be more debris in the atmosphere, such as water vapor, dust, etc., which will greatly reduce the visibility of the atmosphere.
Also, as the atmosphere becomes thicker, the density of the underlying atmosphere will inevitably increase, which will further compress the aerosols and further weaken the light transmittance.
There is also a thick atmosphere, which increases its refractive power; it can refract distant images below the horizon to above the horizon. It is this small refraction that 'repairs' the curvature of the earth, virtually making the earth more '
tends to be flat'. This is an optical artifact.
Invisibly, the atmosphere has become a 'shield', hindering everyone's exploration of the world.
Manpower is endless! The natural environment, coupled with various myths and legends that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, as well as the dangers of the outer sea, have directly nipped everyone's exploration of the world in the bud!
You can't blame the people in this world for not working hard, they really work hard - they have achieved cultivation. However, the harsh environment of nature has hindered their further development.
Of course, if the practice goes further and the spirit transformation stage is all over the sky, then there may be hope for further progress. But regarding the practice, Zhang Hao has another question in his mind:
"Senior, I found a question that puzzles me. I remember that the ratio of ordinary people (below the third level of Qi refining stage) to practitioners is about ten to one.
Among all practitioners, the ratio between the Qi refining stage and the foundation building stage is 10 to 1.
The ratio between the foundation building stage and the golden elixir stage has been reduced to one percent.
However, the ratio between the Golden Elixir stage and the Nascent Soul stage has actually increased, about 2%. The reason is that the lifespan of the Nascent Soul stage is longer.
But the ratio between the Nascent Soul Stage and the God Transformation Stage... is a bit unbalanced. In the entire Qixia Kingdom, including the Jiuyang Sect, there are only two God Transformation Stages!
This is a little... hard to understand."
Fu Yun was a little confused after hearing this: "Xuanzhen Sect should have problems in this area."
Next to him, Feng Zhiling looked away in embarrassment: "Junior brother didn't ask me, so I didn't say anything."
Zhang Hao:......
Fu Yun:......
After a while, Fu Yun said to Zhang Hao dumbfounded: "Forget it, let me tell you. There is a realm after the transformation stage, which is called: Land God. Do you know this?"
"Yes."
"The transformation stage is also called the 'Little Land God'!"
"ah……"
"Then do you know why you are called a little land fairy?"
Zhang Hao said slowly: "It should be that the transformation stage is very powerful, but also very rare."
"What you are talking about is only a very small aspect. The reason why the God Transformation Stage is rare, the reason why the God Transformation Stage is powerful, and the reason why the God Transformation Stage is called the Little Land God is because:
If you want to achieve the stage of becoming a god, you need the spirit of the fairy to build the foundation!
Yes, it is foundation building. This is the second stage of foundation building in cultivation.
It is generally believed that there are four stages of spiritual practice. They are: refining essence to transform into qi, refining qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, and refining emptiness to combine with Tao. Among them, refining spirit to return to emptiness and refining emptiness to combine with Tao will not be discussed. So far, I have not been able to
verify.
First let’s talk about refining Qi, which is the first stage of practice. It can be roughly divided into four stages: entry, early stage, middle stage, and late stage. The entry is the Qi refining period. After the Qi refining period, the foundation building is successful.
Only then can we truly step into the door of cultivation, that is, cross the threshold of refining Qi.
The following golden elixir stage and foundation building stage are both parts of refining the Qi.
After the completion of the Nascent Soul Stage, the second stage of practice is reached. This stage also requires 'foundation building'. This time, the foundation building is to refine qi and transform into a god. This 'god' is from the god transformation stage.
"God" is also the "god" who is divine and enlightened.
For the first time to build a foundation, we need to use the ‘Foundation Building Pill’.
As for the second foundation building, what do we need to use to cross this threshold?
You must know that the first foundation building is to transform from a mortal to a cultivator. The second foundation building is to transform from a cultivator to a more advanced existence. This advanced existence is called a 'real person'. Of course
, popularly known as: half immortal.
The medicinal properties of the foundation-building pill used in the first foundation-building period are higher than those in the Qi-refining period. Therefore, it can guide the Qi-refining period to open the door to practice.
Similarly, for the second foundation building, you can only look for something more advanced to guide you. But whether it is a thousand-year medicinal material or a ten-thousand-year medicinal material, its essence is the accumulation of spiritual energy. For practitioners who want to break through the divine transformation stage
, to no avail.
As far as we know, the only way to reach the stage of divine transformation is to use the spirit of the fairy!
How difficult it is for a mortal to become a half-immortal!
When you become a god, you will understand these things."
Zhang Hao was very surprised when he heard this. This was completely inconsistent with the answer he expected. After thinking for a while, Zhang Hao asked again: "What's going on with the fairy spirit?"
"Is it the spirit of the fairy..." Fu Yun's eyes were a little distant, "This is really a... troublesome question. In fact, no one can give a definition of the spirit of the fairy.
To put it simply, we think this is a more advanced spiritual energy, significantly higher than ordinary spiritual energy. But whether it is a 'real' fairy spirit or not, no one can say for sure. Since everyone thinks it is a fairy spirit
If the spirit is there, then it is the spirit of the immortal spirit.
It’s just... there is no fairy spirit energy in this world. After reaching the stage of transformation into gods, one can only continue to practice spiritual energy. Therefore, almost all the stages of transformation into gods are in a state of hunger!"
Zhang Hao blinked: "Where does that fairy spirit come from?"
"Heh... do you know why there is a holy land?"
Then, without waiting for Zhang Hao to speak, he said: "The Holy Land is because they have their own fairy spirit. However, the fairy spirit in the Holy Land is also very rare. It is said that it takes hundreds, even hundreds of years, to accumulate it.
Enough fairy spirit energy is only enough for one person to break through the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and enter the stage of becoming a god.
But practice cannot be 100% successful. Once it fails, all the spirit energy will turn into running water, and the accumulation of hundreds or even hundreds of years will be wasted."
Feng Zhiling was unwilling to be lonely, and he suddenly said: "There are rivers in the west of the Fertile Continent, some flowing to the north, some to the west, and some to the south, but there are none that flow eastward."
Zhang Hao:......
Fu Yun was so choked by Feng Zhiling's words that he couldn't utter a single word. After a while, Fu Yun finally smiled coldly: "Senior, do you have any room to interrupt? Come on, let's play a game."
"What kind of tour...ah..."
"Fly!" Fu Yun took out a rope with flowing treasure and wrapped it around Feng Zhiling's waist. He directly hung Feng Zhiling behind the flying boat and flew the kite!
It's just that this kite is hung below.
The barrier on the flying boat was hazy, completely blocking Feng Zhiling's screams. Zhang Hao took a concerned look and was suddenly a little... surprised. Senior Brother Feng seemed to be very excited! This guy even turned his head and gave Zhang Hao a proud smile.
, and then jumped around in the air with teeth and claws.
Fu Yun was not angry when he saw this. He tied the rope behind the flying boat and talked to Zhang Hao Jixiu. "It's clear now. Let's continue."
Since this guy is so excited, Zhang Hao no longer cares. "Senior, since this holy land of fairy spirit energy is so rare, how can many people who are not in the holy land become gods?"
Fu Yun smiled: "Why is the Holy Land a Holy Land? Is it just a game? No! The Holy Land will also open up some quotas. And those who use the Holy Land quota to advance are invisibly regarded as half disciples of the Holy Land.
Through this method, the Holy Land not only appeases the local cultivators, but also indirectly controls the local area. Therefore, the Holy Land has such a huge influence.
Secondly, in Kunlun Continent, there are many powerful countries that will also open their own quotas to recruit talents from all over the world.
This world is very big when it comes to big things, but sometimes even small things are very small. Almost everyone who is at the peak of Nascent Soul will travel all over the world, looking for opportunities."
Zhang Hao looked into the distance silently, but his heart was not at peace. This world of cultivation is indeed full of strange things.
