Chapter 294: Sixth level of body refinement, origin world
In the past six months, Li Xiuchang has made good progress in the four skills of weapon refining, spiritual planting, formations, and talismans.
Other skills, including corpse exorcism, are steadily improving even without the help of senior brothers and sisters to explain in class.
In total, the total growth length in half a year is about 900 inches!
Among them, the two skills of weapon refining and spiritual planting alone contributed almost 500 inches of length.
After excluding the daily consumption of the past six months, Li Xiuchang's current length is still about 1,600 inches!
The last time he broke through from the fourth level of body refining to the fifth level of body refining, he spent a full 260 inches to break through the bottleneck.
This time, I have a length of 1,600 inches, which is enough.
Li Xiuchang started adding points to the large square that was nine feet long, wide and high.
Adding inch by inch takes too much time.
He directly added ten inches to twenty inches!
In the blink of an eye, three hundred inches of it was put in. Li Xiuchang took back the Dharma form, so of course there was no breakthrough.
But I felt swollen all over.
The body seems to be undergoing some kind of transformation.
It seems like something is about to break out of the body!
The sixth level of body refining is equivalent to a monk in the void refining stage.
In the Void Refining Stage, monks can enter the original world and observe the avenue at close range.
Of course, sixth-level physical cultivation also has similar abilities!
After the sixth level of normal body refining, one can cultivate a golden body, use the body as a raft, and descend to the original world.
In Buddhism, the original world is also called the "other world".
The physical body is a boat that crosses the sea of suffering and reaches the other shore.
But for those who practice physical exercises similar to Dharma, they can choose another way to enter the original world, which is to transform into Dharma and descend to the original world.
Obviously, three hundred inches in length was not enough for Li Xiuchang to take this qualitative step.
He released the cube-shaped Vajra Dharma again and continued to add points.
After adding another three hundred inches in one breath, Li Xiuchang took back the Dharma form.
This time, changes have begun!
"It's done!"
Li Xiuchang looked excited, feeling the drastic changes in his body, which was transforming towards the sixth level.
A layer of gold, centered on his heart, spread throughout his body.
The area covered by gold gave Li Xiuchang a strange feeling, as if he could touch the world with just a move of his fingers.
"The golden body is so mysterious..."
This is completely different from the "golden body" that Li Xiuchang understood literally.
The golden body he imagined might be similar to the indestructible meaning of "golden bell" and "iron cloth shirt". He also thought that the golden body state was mainly to make himself more resistant to beatings.
He was already very resistant to beatings, so he didn't look forward to becoming more resistant to beatings.
But now it seems that the most powerful thing about the golden body is not that it can resist beatings, but that it can sense the original world!
As he becomes more powerful, he will even be able to influence the power of the original world in the future!
Even now, he can influence a little bit of the power of the original world, but just this little bit is enough to cause a qualitative change in him.
Finally, gold covered Li Xiuchang's body.
He couldn't help but look up and sensed that another world was within his reach.
It seemed like he could jump into that world with just a kick of his legs.
Li Xiuchang resisted the urge to go in and take a look, closed his eyes, and tried to control his power at this time and adjust his state.
When you gain new power, the first thing you should do is control it, not use it.
After a while, the golden color on Li Xiuchang's body faded.
But behind him, the phantom of the cube Vajra Dharma appeared, but as Li Xiuchang thought, the large square with a length, width and height of eleven feet was actually coated with a layer of gold.
Li Xiuchang took a deep breath.
There is no rush to use Dharma to get a glimpse of the original world.
Instead, he put away the Dharma image and adjusted his state.
"The consumption length value is 600 inches, and there is still a thousand inches left. It's okay. It's enough for the time being."
"After practicing for nine years and seven months, I was finally promoted to the sixth level of body refining!"
"The sixth level of body refining is equivalent to a monk refining the void. I have completed my ten-year goal of refining the void."
"However, we have only barely achieved it. There is nothing to be proud of. We must guard against arrogance and impetuosity. We still need to work harder!"
Li Xiuchang is determined and is not complacent with the achievements he has achieved. He even reflects on himself and feels that he still has room for improvement and can work harder!
He looked at his blood diamond clone who was drawing talismans with both hands quickly, frowned and said: "It can be faster, work harder!"
The blood diamond clone's speed suddenly increased by a minute.
If the clone does not endure hardship, how can the main body enjoy happiness?
Li Xiuchang didn't think anything about this. The clone was also himself. Was it wrong for him to be stricter with himself?
The reason why Li Xiuchang didn't rush to enter the original world was because he didn't understand the original world at all.
I don’t know if there are any precautions when going there.
So I decided to ask my neighbor senior brother first to be prepared.
Before going out, he scolded Jinjiao who was chewing his natal magic weapon: "Eat quickly, haven't you eaten yet? Look at how hard I, your master, have divided one person for three people, so you have to take out three." Work twice as hard!”
The golden horn squeaked, feeling that what the master said made sense, and bit into the magic weapon with more excitement.
"And you!" Li Xiuchang looked at the Paw Patrol who were practicing, "There are a bunch of ghosts in the production system who want to replace you and join the combat system. If you don't work hard and are replaced by the ghosts below, you can only go to the medicinal field to farm, or go to the ghost factory to work as a coolie!"
...
Li Xiuchang came to No. 1, Donggeng District, and found Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi.
In fact, it would be more reliable to consult Senior Brother Chen Changsheng for these questions, but recently, Senior Brother Chen Changsheng is working overtime to build a teleportation array to the "basement" world, so Li Xiuchang did not disturb him.
"Senior Brother Zhang." Li Xiuchang asked straight to the point, "I want to ask, what should I pay attention to when going to the origin world?"
Zhang Wanzhi was shocked: "Don't tell me you are already in the refining period!"
"That's not the case." Li Xiuchang shook his head.
"You scared me. I was just saying, how could it be so fast..."
"I'm only at the sixth level of body refining."
"Wow!"
"Brother, what did you say?"
"I said the grass in the Reclining Buddha Temple is growing really well, just like you. When I saw you, I thought of the grass."
Zhang Wanzhi coughed and his expression became more serious: "Do you have any questions about the Origin World?"
Li Xiuchang thought for a while: "Do you need to make any preparations to go there? Is there any danger?"
Zhang Wanzhi replied: "There is nothing to prepare. The Origin World itself is not dangerous. If you insist on saying that there is danger, it comes from others. If you happen to meet someone who has bad intentions towards you in the Origin World, you must be careful and leave the Origin World as soon as possible.
"But the Origin World is very unique. I don't know how to explain it to you. It has no concept of space and cannot be described by size. The Origin World can be infinitely large or infinitely small.
"Normally, you won't meet other people there, unless they are nearby and enter the origin world at about the same time as you. Then you will meet them by chance."
Li Xiuchang thought, "But there are many strong people in Xianchen Sect, all of whom are concentrated in the sect, so I may still meet other people."
"That's right." Zhang Wanzhi agreed, "Xianchen Sect has many strong people. It is indeed easier to meet others when you enter the origin world here than in other places, but they are all strong people from Xianchen Sect, and they will not have any ill will towards you. Just disguise yourself and don't be recognized."
Li Xiuchang is not worried about being recognized.
If he enters the origin world in the Dharma image, who can associate him with the appearance of the cube Dharma image?
"That's right!" Zhang Wanzhi suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up, "You are in the sixth level of physical training, and what about the Qi training? Are you still in the God Transformation Stage?"
"Yes, still in the early stage of God Transformation." Li Xiuchang nodded, a little confused, not knowing why Senior Brother Zhang suddenly got excited.
"Haha, then you can take a shortcut!"
When Li Xiuchang heard the word shortcut, he also became excited: "Please teach me, senior brother."
Zhang Wanzhi asked back: "What is the main content of cultivation in the Spiritualization Stage?"
Li Xiuchang replied: "Capture the rhyme of Tao and comprehend the way of heaven and earth."
"Why do you need to comprehend the way of heaven and earth?"
"In order to sense the origin world, so that the soul can be virtualized and enter the origin world."
Zhang Wanzhi nodded: "That's right, but you are now at the sixth level of physical training and can enter the origin world, but it is the same.
"As long as you continue to improve your perception of the way of heaven and earth and let the soul enter the origin world, then you will become a true virtual cultivator.
"And when you enter the origin world at this time, you can see the purest origin of the Tao, and the Tao of heaven and earth will appear in front of you. It will be countless times easier for you to comprehend the Tao of heaven and earth than before!"
Li Xiuchang understood what Senior Brother Zhang meant.
In the past, he still needed to capture the rhyme of Tao to comprehend the Tao.
But once he entered the origin world, he didn't need to capture the rhyme of Tao at all. The Tao of heaven and earth was completely presented in front of him, and he could comprehend it as he pleased!
It was equivalent to letting him practice in the spirit transformation stage using the cultivation method of the refining period!
"The reason why the origin world is called the origin world is because the origin of the Tao is gathered there, and the source of all the natural ways of heaven and earth is there. In the origin world, you are closer to the origin of the Tao, and it will be easier to comprehend the natural ways of heaven and earth."
Zhang Wanzhi smiled and said, "No matter how much I say, it's better for you to feel it yourself. Go, the first time I entered the origin world, I was stunned for a quarter of an hour and couldn't speak."
After Zhang Wanzhi said this, Li Xiuchang couldn't wait to go to the origin world to see it.
...
Li Xiuchang returned to his residence and prepared for his first trip to the origin world.
He has two ways to enter the origin world. One is to enter the golden body state and enter the origin world in the flesh.
The second is to control the Dharma image to enter the origin world.
Li Xiuchang chose the latter because it has natural concealment, so that others can't recognize it.
And if you encounter danger, the Dharma image will be easier to escape.
Soon, a square cube-shaped Vajra Dharma image appeared behind Li Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang thought that the Vajra Dharma image was indeed a bit abstract. If he ran into other people, he might be beaten as a monster.
Even if he didn't get beaten, it would be bad to scare others.
And he also wanted to try to see if he could switch to other forms of Dharma images to enter the origin world.
The Vajra Dharma image switched to the Heart Monkey Dharma image.
The majestic golden-haired Great Ape King quickly crossed a layer of gold. Before, the "gold" was not so obvious, just a faint gold, but now it has completely turned into a golden color.
The golden ape soared into the sky, broke away from Li Xiuchang, and disappeared.
Li Xiuchang's consciousness also entered another world with the golden ape.
"This is..."
Li Xiuchang, who had transformed into a golden ape, was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
The scene in front of him was no longer something that his pale language could describe.
In other words, even if the most eloquent person in the world came, he couldn't describe the scene in front of him.
In front of the natural world, all human language and imagination seemed pale.
If he had to describe it, Li Xiuchang seemed to have come to the universe and starry sky in his previous life.
He was suspended in a world with no top, no bottom, and no boundaries.
What he saw was a star-like light spot, each of which seemed so small.
But like a star, it was just a small point shining from a distance, but when he looked closer, it was so huge that it was difficult to see its full picture.
These star-like light spots are all the avenue!
Li Xiuchang finally understood what Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi meant by "The origin world can be infinitely large or infinitely small".
These great ways seem extremely small from a distance, but when you really want to comprehend them, you will realize their vastness and your own insignificance!
That is why Li Xiuchang thought of the universe and the starry sky in his previous life.
In his previous life, he lived on a small planet, and he often sighed at the magnificence of nature and marveled at the ingenious work of nature. He only hated his mortal body and could not see the magnificent scenery of the world.
But in fact, the planet he lives on may be so small that it is not even a speck of dust in the entire universe.
Sometimes when he thinks of this, he will feel insignificant and powerless.
And now that he is in the origin world, that familiar feeling of insignificance comes again.
But the difference is that this time he is no longer powerless.
He has a clear way to make himself no longer insignificant, that is to become stronger!
The great ways here are as vast as the sea of smoke, so what?
You can still comprehend and control it!
Li Xiuchang finally came back to his senses from the shock, and only then did he remember to experience the feeling of the golden ape Dharma in the origin world.
As Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi said, there is no concept of space here, and the avenue like stars in front of him is not something that can be materialized in space.
Here, there is no distance. He can reach anywhere in one step, and he can also pull infinite distance with a thought.
Li Xiuchang began to explore the stars one by one!
There are countless avenues, and it is impossible to count them.
Some of them are as huge as the Milky Way and the sea of stars, and some are as weak as dust and dim.
Li Xiuchang soon found a "sea of fire" composed of countless red light spots!
That is the avenue of fire among the five elements!
As one of the most basic natural avenues, it is extremely gorgeous and vast!
The Five Elements Avenue is the avenue that has been "borrowed" the most. Countless people have borrowed the avenue to practice, and it has also made the Five Elements Avenue huge and gorgeous in the origin world.
Here, the avenue is tangible, but also intangible.
It can be observed, but not touched.
Li Xiuchang tried to comprehend the Dao of Fire, and indeed felt that it was much easier than in the real world.
In the outside world, the enlightenment of the Spiritualization Stage requires the capture of Dao rhyme. Each Dao rhyme contains a weak Dao, which needs to be accumulated to achieve the Refining Void.
Even for someone like Li Xiuchang who can capture Dao rhyme uninterruptedly, the efficiency of enlightenment will be restricted by Dao rhyme.
But in the Origin World, it is equivalent to putting a whole Dao in front of you, and how much you can comprehend depends on your own understanding.
Li Xiuchang comprehended for a moment and then paused.
He came here this time mainly to get familiar with the Origin World, and there will be plenty of time for enlightenment in the future.
In addition to the natural Dao such as the Five Elements Dao, life and death, yin and yang, there are many "artificial Daos" in the Origin World.
These artificial Daos are basically far less gorgeous than the natural Dao.
Li Xiuchang soon noticed that there was a sword-shaped Dao that stretched across the Origin World like the Milky Way.
This is the Dao of Swords!
Artificial Daos can also appear in the Origin World.
In the future, Li Xiuchang's equality will also be integrated into the origin world.
The transformation stage comprehends the way of nature.
The refining stage can enter the origin world and continue to comprehend the way of nature, but at the same time, it is necessary to comprehend one's own way.
Only when the way of nature and one's own way are comprehended to a certain level, can one enter the state of unity!
What is unity?
In simple terms, it is to root one's own way in the origin world and combine it with the origin world.
This is unity!
If you practice the way of fire, you will integrate your way of fire into the way of fire in the origin world.
If you practice the way of sword, you will inject your understanding of the way of sword into the origin of the way of sword in the origin world.
In simple terms, use the way you comprehend to improve the origin of the way, so as to obtain the recognition of the origin and leverage the origin of the way.
Like Li Xiuchang, as the founder of the "equality way", he is destined to fight alone in the future and take the lead in planting the origin of equality in the origin world.
Li Xiuchang wandered around the origin world and saw all kinds of strange and bizarre avenues.
Some unpopular avenues were so dull that Li Xiuchang suspected that there was only one person practicing this avenue, and he might even be dead.
This made him worry about the future development of his "equality path".
Popular avenues have many people practicing them, and the more people practice, the higher the flame. As more people continue to improve, the origin of the avenue will continue to grow.
It's like everyone working together to make the cake bigger, but the disadvantage is that there are more people dividing the cake.
Unpopular avenues, with few practitioners, are difficult to perfect, and their development is limited.
But although the cake is small, there are few people sharing it.
Like Li Xiuchang's Tao of Equality, he may have a piece of cake exclusively for him in the future, but how big the cake can be depends on his own ability, and others can't help him.
After wandering around for a long time and gaining a basic understanding of the original world, Li Xiuchang began to pick out some natural ways to understand.
I don't know how much time has passed, but I can't feel the passage of time in the original world. Li Xiuchang feels that his understanding of the Five Elements has improved, and then he has an idea to withdraw from the original world and return to the outside world.
The mental ape form appeared in his residence in Donggeng District, and Li Xiuchang's consciousness returned to its true form.
"It feels like a long time has passed, but it turns out that less than five days have passed outside?"
Li Xiuchang was surprised that the passage of time in the original time was completely different from that in the outside world.
During the period of his enlightenment, both clones were in the outside world, but it seemed that there was no fixed ratio between the speed of time passing in the outside world and the original world.
"At this rate, it seems that it won't take many days to advance to the Void Refining stage."
The only pity is that neither of his two clones currently have the ability to enter the original world.
Therefore, the task of going to the original world to realize Taoism can only be done by Li Xiuchang himself.
Li Xiuchang planned to go to the original world to realize Tao in the future. The second soul clone would continue to dream and comprehend the Tao of Equality. The blood diamond clone would work harder. It would go to class during the day and come back to practice skills at night.
Li Xiuchang and his two clones lived a fulfilling life.
Ten days later, Li Xiuchang was successfully promoted to the middle stage of divine transformation!
Wangcai and the Shadow Wolf King were finally promoted to the fifth level of Shadow Soul under the supervision of Li Xiuchang!
The peak of Golden Horn Level 4 is only one step away from breaking through to Level 5.
After Wangcai and the Shadow Wolf King reach the fifth level, Li Xiuchang will of course choose their future path.
However, both of them are complete ghosts, so it is nothing more than choosing one of the normal avenues of ghosts.
Neither of them has transformed into a fierce ghost, so they are not suitable for cultivating avenues such as killing and destruction.
Finally, considering Wangcai's IQ, Li Xiuchang asked him to practice the Yin Dao of the two paths of Yin and Yang.
Because this avenue is the natural way, and there are many people who practice it, you can take the path of borrowing it and just understand it, without having to think about new things by yourself.
The Shadow Wolf King chose the "soul path" chosen by Soul Demon Xiuchang.
Li Xiuchang originally planned to go to the original world to learn Taoism and practice, but the little turtle came steadily and once again urged Li Xiuchang to go to the turtle world to help him.
Li Xiuchang had also achieved a breakthrough in physical training, and he had no good reason to shirk, so he had to agree first.
Then he went to find Senior Brother Chen Changsheng.
If you want to go to the Turtle Realm to help, you have to ask Senior Brother Chen for his opinion.
As soon as Li Xiuchang went to No. 32, Donggeng District, he saw an extra teleportation array on the first floor!
"Brother, is this the teleportation array leading to the 'basement'? Has it been built?" Li Xiuchang asked curiously.
Chen Changsheng nodded: "It was just built."
"Then...when will you take us down to have a look?"
Li Xiuchang is not the only one who is interested in the underground world. Several other senior brothers and sisters are full of curiosity.
Chen Changsheng pondered: "Wait a little longer, my clone made a new discovery down there, and I found a group of aborigines."
"A living person?"
Li Xiuchang couldn't help but look surprised. He didn't expect that there were still living people able to survive in that world.
According to what Senior Brother Chen said before, there is no spiritual energy in the basement world, so it is naturally impossible to practice, but there are special monsters.
If humans cannot practice, they will naturally be unable to fight against monsters, and survival must be difficult.
"Yes, the language they speak is similar to ours, and there is indeed no cultivation, but they still retain the inheritance of Confucianism and Taoism, and they are still unwilling to give up today. There are still people who want to practice Confucianism and Taoism, but I haven't seen it yet. To those who have succeeded in cultivation.”
Chen Changsheng paused and continued: "I heard some legends from the aborigines. The underground world may be more complicated than we thought. I will take you to see it after I learn more about it."
