Chapter 5 of the Enlightenment Chapter 5 Practicing the Path of Retreat

I thought about it, turned around and walked to Jihua, who was practicing, Jiwu may have sensed my presence as well, she stopped practicing, opened her eyes, stood up, and walked in front of me to look at me.

"Brother Shengtian, have you figured it out?" Ji asked with a smile.

"Jihua, I thought about it for a long time, and I found that the two choices you gave me were too extreme for me, I should give you an explanation, but I can't let people outside fall into a painful wait for a lifetime. I compromised and thought of a way, that is, I can marry you but I can't stay in Qixing Valley, you follow me to the mainland, what do you think?" I asked lightly.

"This ......" Ji was stunned for a moment.

"It's the best I can think of, and if you don't agree then I'll have to leave. I lowered my head in embarrassment and said.

"Brother Shengtian, you may know that this Qixing Valley has a very good auxiliary effect on the cultivation of the Xuan Retreat Dao, and if you go outside the valley, your cultivation speed may be reduced by more than ten times. But for the sake of Brother Shengtian, I am willing to follow you to the mainland, I know that brother, you have other girls you like outside, but brother, you can't snub me. Ji Xuan said with an aggrieved face.

"No, it won't. I said with a smile.

"Brother Shengtian, but I can't go out with you right now. I'm about to break through to the eighth order, so I'm going to stay here for a while, and by the way, Brother Shengtian, you can also get started with the path of Xuan Xuan. Ji said with a smile.

"Can I also practice the path of mysticism?" I asked, surprised.

"Originally, it was not possible, there are rules in our clan, and we can't teach the way of Xuan Xuan to outsiders. After the clansmen are sixteen years old, almost all of the men have cultivated to the war spirit, and they must stay in the clan. The woman can make her own choice, and if she stays in the clan, she must marry a man in the clan. In that way, you can practice a higher mind. If you choose to marry a cultivator outside the clan, then you will be expelled from the clan. Then it can basically be said that it has nothing to do with our clan at all, so that you can hand over the way of Xuan Xuan to your lover. Ji Wei said.

"But I've never seen a cultivator using the Mysterious Path on the mainland?" I asked suspiciously.

"First of all, because there are very few Dharma spirits who marry with foreign clans, and ordinary cultivators are very miserable in cultivating the path of Xuan Retreat, it is almost impossible to cultivate the path of Xuan Retreat without the physique of the Dharma spirit. Ji Wei said.

"And how do you teach me?" I asked, confused.

"Brother Shengtian, you will practice with me in a while, and I will tell you the secrets of our clan. Ji said with a smile.

I followed Ji Hua to a clearing, Ji Wu sat down cross-legged, I also sat cross-legged opposite her, Ji Wu closed his eyes and didn't say a word for a long time. Half a day later, I opened my eyes and looked at her with a puzzled expression......

"What should I do?" I asked, confused.

"When you stop asking that question, then you've succeeded...... Brother Shengtian, listen to my next story quietly...... At the end of the primeval period 10 billion years ago, there was a devastating natural disaster, after which there were three emperors on the continent, Chaos, Shen Yin and Beyu, and the tripartite had been fighting for hundreds of millions of years, and the descendants of the three parties rebelled and united, and the books called the unfilial ones. After a long period of evolution, four different races were formed: East, South, West, and North. To the east is our race, and the official name of our race is the Heavenly Mercy Clan. However, we were hidden until 1.5 billion years ago. The Han Yan clan in the south, the exercises they practice are very strange, and they don't necessarily exist now, but they are said to be the ancestors of the current soul clan. To the west is the Broken Gods. They were the most powerful of the four clans, but their clan mysteriously disappeared from the continent after millions of years. To the north are the Blue Burners, who have been on the continent for the longest time. And many people believe that they are the ancestors of the vast majority of spirit beasts and spirit creatures now. Ji Wei said.

"You Heavenly Mercy have been around for so long!" I said in surprise.

"The outside world calls us the War Spirit and the Law Spirit Clan, but in fact, there are three lines within our Tianlian Clan. A series of condensation of spiritual energy, control of the soul and even transcendence of life and death. It is called the magic spirit, one is like flying, the body is amazing, and it can also forge the blade, which is called the war spirit, and there is also a series of arrangement formations. Studying forbidden spells can even use soul control to control spirits, which is called a curse immortal. Ji Wei said.

"Curse Immortal? I said lightly.

"The outside is called the Xuan Dao, but in fact, this is not very accurate, in fact, there are four different cultivation methods in our clan, such as the Xuan Dao, the Escape Dao, the Extreme Dao and the Yuan Dao, each of which has three different degrees of the mind of heaven, earth and man. At the beginning of our clan, all of us practiced the Human Yuan Heart Method, and after the age of sixteen, if we became a war spirit, we began to practice human retreat, and if we became a Dharma spirit, we practiced human mystery, and if we didn't decide on our gender at the age of twenty, then we would choose to practice human extreme. Each of the three mental methods of heaven, earth, and man has five levels, and people and earth can practice directly, but heaven needs to open the heavenly wisdom to do so, and even if the heavenly wisdom is opened, it is very difficult. Ji Wei said.

"Ji Xuan, I don't understand a little, so aren't the Earth Yuan and Tian Yuan useless?" I asked suspiciously.

"Only by becoming a king can you practice the Earth Yuan, and only by becoming an elder can you practice the Heavenly Yuan. Ji Wei said.

"Ji Xuan, if you are practicing the Earth Xuan now, if you are going to leave the Heavenly Mercy Clan after you are with me, then you can't practice the Heavenly Xuan anymore, then don't you start the Heavenly Wisdom in vain?" I asked worriedly.

"Brother Shengtian, you don't have to worry. I started Tianzhi at the age of three, so I have always been cultivated by the clan, so after the permission of the three elders I went to the Heavenly Sacrifice Pavilion to read, and it took me a year to memorize all the mental methods and secrets in the Heavenly Sacrifice Pavilion, so the clan actually didn't know that I was a fellow practitioner of the Xuandao, the Escape Dao, the Extreme Dao and the Yuan Dao. Ji said with a smile.

"Na Lan Lin, another little genius like you. I said with a smile.

"She only has a few books, and I can memorize them in a few days. Na Lanlin said angrily.

"You're awesome. I said with a wry smile.

"Reversing time is the spell of the Xuan Dao, and jumping the time boundary is the formation of the Extreme Dao, so Brother Shengtian, you have to learn the Xuan Dao and the Extreme Dao, as long as you practice to a certain level, you can go back and save Sister Meng Yiting. Ji said lightly.

"Then do I have to learn Renyuan first?" I asked with a smile.

"yes. Ji Wei said.

"And how am I going to learn?" I asked, confused.

"Brother Shengtian, how was your first practice of magic?" asked Ji Xuan, looking at me.

"In fact, sensing the elemental energy in the air is similar to the principle of cultivation, except that cultivation is done in the body, while magic is directly forming the elements outside the body and condensing them into the required magic. I said lightly.

"Magic is adapted from the way of the occult, so the principle is pretty much the same. The way of seclusion is the same as magic, but unlike magic, we directly control elemental energy in a special way. Ji Wei said.

"Isn't that similar to the Demon Path? I said confusedly.

"No, the Demon Dao is to control the condensation and formation of elemental energy, while the way of Xuan Xuan is to absorb spiritual energy in the body and refine the elemental energy into shape, and it can refine any element, and even in places where there is no elemental energy, it can refine Tianyuan Energy. Ji Wei said.

"It doesn't sound like it's powerful. I said with a smile.

"The first step, Brother Shengtian, you first memorize Renyuan's mental method. Ji Wei said.

"I see. I said lightly.

At first, I thought that I had cultivated cultivation, magic, weapon fighting, and even the Heavenly Riding Dao, so it shouldn't be too difficult to practice the Mysterious Escape Dao, but the day passed like this, and I didn't touch the threshold at all, let alone getting started...... However, after coming to this world, my memory can be said to have improved a lot, and I am very familiar with Renyuan's mental method.

"Ate this. Ji Xuan took out a pill and handed it to me.

"What is this?" I asked, confused.

"Soul Pregnancy Pill. Ji Wei said.

"Did you refine it?" I asked, surprised.

"Of course, this is not refined with a Dan furnace like an alchemist, but with elemental energy using the secret technique of the Extreme Dao. This is a kind of spirit that can make your body more spiritual, the magic spirit is almost a pure spirit body, and there are only elves that can be compared with my clan on the mainland, brother, you can only better control the way of Xuan Xuan if you are more spiritualized. Ji Wei said.

After I took the Soul Pregnancy Pill, I felt that my whole body was much lighter, and my soul power seemed to be more refined, and it felt a bit similar to the effect of the pill she gave me when I first met Shen Qianmeng.

"Ji Xuan, can this Soul Pregnancy Pill only be refined by the extreme path of your Heavenly Mercy Clan?" I asked suspiciously.

"No, many of the secret techniques of the Extreme Dao were collected from the mainland. Ji Wei said. (To be continued.) )
