Chapter 442: The Origin of "Phaseless Divine Skill".
Zhiyuan smiled: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." The name of this part www.biquge.info of the scripture is called "Fu Demon Crossing the Seal", which can only be regarded as a heaven-level superb attack martial art, and it may not be very helpful for you now. β
Zhan Chen shook his head and said, "Master, I can't say that, every part of the "Phaseless Divine Skill" has its magic. If you take it apart and look at it, you can't show its wonder. But I think that if you put it together, it is a book of immortal rank exercises, so every part of it is extremely important to me. β
Zhiyuan nodded and said with a smile: "Zhan Chen, your understanding is very correct, you must not know the origin of the practice of "Wuxiang Divine Skill", right?"
"I want to hear about it. β
Venerable Zhiyuan's eyes flashed with reminiscence, and he said slowly: "This exercise is said to have been created by the founder of our Buddhism, Patriarch Bodhidharma, and it has a history of three million years. Bodhidharma Patriarch has been jealous and hateful since he was a child, and he always has the heart of helping the world, but his immortal cultivation qualifications are extremely poor, and he is considered unable to become an immortalββ"
"Master Zhiyuan, if there is something unclear in the next step, does it still depend on the qualifications to become an immortal?"
"Yes, reaching the Martial Saint Great Perfection Realm is only one of the conditions for stepping into the Immortal Realm, and the other condition is the Spiritual Root. β
"Linggen, what is Linggen?"
"The so-called spiritual root is the ability to perceive the immortal aura, and only those who can sense the existence of the immortal aura can capture them from the air and absorb them into the body, so that they can have the possibility of stepping into the realm of peeping yuan. β
Hearing Zhiyuan say this, Zhan Chen suddenly remembered the kind of aura that emitted colorful light he saw in the valley where the cemetery of the Daoren of Hanshan was placed, and the frightened boy at that time told him that it was the immortal aura, so he asked: "Is the 'immortal aura' you said a kind of aura that exudes a multicolored halo?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhiyuan's eyes, and he asked rhetorically, "Have you seen it?" β
Zhan Chen nodded.
Zhiyuan sighed: "Then it proves that you have a spiritual root, and at least a high-grade spiritual root!"
"So someone can't see this fairy aura?"
"Why not? And there's a lot of people here. Zhan Chen, you are definitely a lucky person, because half of the people can't perceive the existence of immortal aura at all, and the immortals of the Wanfa Continent call those who can't perceive immortal aura as waste spirit roots, this kind of person has no hope of stepping into the immortal path for life, and the immortal Dao sect will not accept it at all. β
"And the remaining half of the people, the vast majority of them can't see the fairy spirit as casually as you, two-thirds of them can't see the fairy spirit qi at all, and can only detect their spirit root through the spirit stone, this part of the people is either an inferior spirit root, or a lower grade spirit root, if the inferior spirit root, the lower grade spirit root is not very hard, or there is a coincidence, there is still no way to become an immortal. β
"Among the next one-third of the people, two-thirds of the people can only see the colorful halo emanating from the air, but they can't clearly perceive it, this kind of person has a medium-grade spiritual root, and a martial artist with a medium-grade spiritual root can become an immortal as long as he is guided. β
"Only people like you who can clearly see the immortal aura floating in the air can be regarded as a high-grade spiritual root, and people with a high-grade spiritual root can basically become immortals. What is the probability of someone who can possess a high-grade spiritual root?"
Zhan Chen counted and shouted, "Only one-eighteenth!"
Zhi Yuan nodded and said, "Well, among every eighteen Martial Saint Great Perfection powerhouses, there will only be one martial artist with a high-grade spiritual root. Therefore, martial artists with high-grade spiritual roots have always been the object of competition for each Immortal Dao sect. β
A hint of joy flashed on Zhan Chen's face, but he was caught by Zhiyuan, but he didn't specify it clearly, but continued: "And at that time, the Bodhidharma Patriarch cultivated to the realm of the Great Perfection of the Martial Saint, but he was proved to be a Waste Spirit Root Martial Artist, do you know how unwilling he was in his heart? Without strength, the ambition of punishing evil and promoting good could not be carried out at all, after a period of depression, he regained his strength and was ready to find another wayββ"
"Going off the beaten track?"
"Yes, he took another path, trying to break through the limits of his martial arts!"
"Break through the limit of the martial arts, isn't the realm of the Great Perfection of the Martial Saint the ultimate of a martial artist?" Zhan Chen said in astonishment.
Zhiyuan smiled slightly, and said: "Yes, the world also thinks that the Martial Saint Great Perfection is the limit of the physical body, but the only Dharma Patriarch does not see it that way, he firmly believes that there is still a way to the end of the Martial Saint Great Perfection, that is, the realm he conceived - the body immortal!"
"What is a body immortal?"
"A body immortal is a physical immortal, so that it has the power that is not inferior to that of a strong person who has entered the Dao. β
"W-Can this really be done?" Zhan Chen exclaimed.
"Why not? Patriarch Bodhidharma did it, he forced himself, squeezed his potential every day, and put in a hundred times more effort than other immortal cultivators. He kept taking detours, constantly failing, and constantly falling, but he was always able to get up from his falls, continue to move forward, never give up, and finally he took the crucial step. β
"You mean the Body Immortal?"
"Yes, this book of "Wuxiang Shengong" is not only a book of exercises, but also a true record of his journey, it is the Bodhidharma Patriarch and his old man continue to explore and research, how to give full play to the potential of the physical body. Bodhidharma Patriarch couldn't practice the immortal-level exercises, so he realized the nine heaven-level best martial arts. As you said, they are just ordinary exercises when taken apart individually, but if they are grouped together, they can turn decay into magic! They have become the middle grade exercises of the immortal level -- "Wuxiang Divine Skill", and the "Daqian Induction Sutra" that you brought with you is the only method for cultivating immortal consciousness that he added after breaking through the body immortal. β
"I see!" Zhan Chen sighed, as if the image of a tall warrior appeared in front of his eyes, although he was frustrated, he was still getting more and more courageous, isn't this the image of a hero in his mind?
"Now do you know? What kind of exercise is "Wuxiang Divine Skill"? If you choose to practice it, you will definitely endure pain that ordinary people can't endure, and pay ten times more time than others. However, once he has refined his divine skills, he can resist the attacks of other immortal cultivators' Dao weapons with his bare hands, and even break the opponent's Dao weapons when the realm is suppressed. β
"Can you break the opponent's Dao weapon with your bare hands?!" Zhan Chen couldn't imagine.
"Of course it is possible, not only can the flesh become an immortal, but it can also resist the opponent's Dao weapon attack with the flesh alone, just like your phaseless golden body duel, you can understand it!"
"Yes!" Zhi Yuan's words resonated with Zhan Chen, since he had cultivated the Phaseless Golden Body Battle, no one of the same rank martial artists had been able to break through his defenses.
""Fu Demon Crossing the Seal of Doom" is an attack martial art, which is infinitely powerful, in fact, the cultivation of "Wuxiang Divine Skill" is important in perseverance. Zhan Chen, you have a top-grade spiritual root, you don't have to work so hard at all, you have to think about this!"
Zhan Chen stood up suddenly, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and said: "I will definitely be able to cultivate the 'Phaseless Divine Skill'! Buddhism, I will also go to revival!"
"Okay, ambitious!" Zhiyuan stroked his beard and nodded.
"Master, tell me where the scriptures of the Demon Seal are!"
"It's in the hands of my junior brother Zhikong, who is spreading the Dharma on Jizhou Island. After all, I haven't seen him for more than a thousand years. β
"Jizhou Island, I'll rush to meet Master Zhikong right away. Zhan Chen said, paused, he remembered the most important thing of this trip and hadn't asked Zhiyuan for advice, so he continued to ask: "Oh yes, master, in fact, the purpose of my trip is to go to the Wanfa Continent, you happen to come out of there, do you have any good advice?"
"You're going to the Ten Thousand Laws Continent?" For some reason, Zhiyuan's expression suddenly changed when he heard this, as if he had been reminded of some rather bad memories.
"What's wrong, Master?"
"Zhan Chen, you need to be fully prepared before you can take that step. β
"Are you saying that it is still dangerous to go to the Ten Thousand Laws Continent?" Zhan Chen said in astonishment, he knew very little about it.
"Yes, it's true that the Ten Thousand Laws Continent is a paradise for immortal cultivators, but to get there from the outside world, you have to pass through a zone called the Sea of Death. β
"Sea of Death?"
"The Sea of Death is like an invisible barrier, between the Ten Thousand Laws Continent and the outside world, whether it is entering the Ten Thousand Laws Continent from the outside world, or from the Ten Thousand Laws Continent to the outside world, it is a life and death test for those who have not reached the realm of the Yuan Shen Realm. β
"Master, can you explain the Yuan Shen Realm to me?" Zhan Chen asked curiously, he was very concerned about everything about the Dao powerhouse.
Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll satisfy your curiosity, in fact, the realm of immortals is the same as that of martial artists, and there are also high and low, and the realm of martial artists is divided into six categories: martial apprentices, martial masters, martial artists, martial kings, martial emperors, and martial saints. β
"The realm of immortals is divided into two stages: entry and enlightenment, from low to high is the Yuan realm, the immortal realm, the Yuan Shen realm, the strong who reach the Yuan Shen realm, the immortal yuan is strong, can soar beyond the nine heavens, and easily avoid the terrible storm of the sea of death. The Immortal Dao Immortals are more powerful, and their means have been able to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and I don't know their supernatural powers, I only heard that they are divided into the Ming Law Realm, the Law Body Realm, and even the Supreme Ten Thousand Dharma Realm!"
"Ten Thousand Law Realm, does this have any connection with the Ten Thousand Law Continent?" Zhan Chen couldn't help asking.
Zhiyuan replied with a smile: "Yes, Zhan Chen, you are very smart, the so-called Ten Thousand Laws Continent is the continent ruled by those Ten Thousand Law Realm ancestors. β
"I see. Zhan Chen muttered, and when he heard that immortals were also divided into six realms, he felt that he had a long way to go.
"Hehe, we seem to be far away!" said Zhiyuan with a smile.
Zhan Chen reacted and said embarrassedly: "Yes, I'm so rude, I always interrupt your speech." β
"It's nothing, there is time, I am an old man hiding alone in the mountains to cultivate, and it is rare for someone to disturb it!" Zhiyuan laughed at himself, and then he said with a straight face: "But to get back to the point, the Sea of Death is indeed terrifying, someone has made statistics, and the people who can successfully pass through it and finally come to the Wanfa Continent are less than one in a thousand, and the others are all buried in the sea." To tell you the truth, even the process of crossing the sea back then was full of disasters, and it was difficult to escape. β
Zhan Chen's expression also became solemn, and he asked, "What kind of danger is it that makes you have to be afraid of such a strong person as you enter the Dao?"
Zhiyuan didn't answer him immediately, but took a sip of tea, his eyes reminisced, and then he said: "It's the endless wind and the reef of all dangers." β
