Chapter 211
Zhang Chengyue was very puzzled and asked, "Master, what is this Immortal Puppet? It sounds very awkward."
Ou Peng took a sip of tea and let out a long breath. "This Immortal Puppet, as the name suggests, is the annihilation of the Immortal Dao."
"The annihilation of the Immortal Dao?"
Zhang Chengyue was shocked and almost jumped up. "Are you talking about the Immortals in those books that people read when they're bored?
Don't they live as long as the heavens and have great magical powers? How can they be annihilated? "
"Also …" Zhang Chengyue asked suspiciously, "Do these Immortals really exist?
Why haven't I seen them before? "
Ou Peng looked at Zhang Chengyue and was not surprised. When he heard his master talk about the annihilation of the Immortal Dao, his reaction was much stronger than his. His mental state was much stronger than his back then.
Therefore, he smiled and said, "The Immortal Dao I'm talking about is the path of cultivation, which is the path from a mortal to an Immortal.
Moreover, how can there be any Immortals in this world? They are all in the heavens. "
Zhang Chengyue smiled and said, "Master, you're deceiving me. When I was young, my grandmother always told me stories about Immortals in the heavens, but how come no Immortals came down from the heavens?"
Ou Peng said, "The 'heavens' I'm talking about is not the sky above our heads, but another world."
"Another world?" Zhang Chengyue was completely confused.
Ou Peng looked at the young man who was shocked by new knowledge and was very satisfied. He said, "Although there are no Immortals in our world, a long, long time ago, probably ten thousand years ago, there was a group of people who wanted to cultivate to become Immortals. They called themselves Immortal Cultivators. They had incomparable magical powers, could fly, and could move mountains and seas. Moreover, their lifespans were very long. In the eyes of mortals, they were actually no different from Immortals."
"Ah!?" Zhang Chengyue was dumbfounded and said, "Aren't they Immortals?
By the way, Master, can you tell me what the other world is like? "
Ou Peng frowned and said, "About that, the secret books in the sect don't record it. They only say that when Immortal Cultivators reach the peak of our world, they will fly into the clouds and become Immortals. They will fly into the other world. As for whether that world is above our heads and what it looks like, no one knows. No Immortals have ever returned from that world."
"Oh, I see." Zhang Chengyue somewhat understood.
Then, Zhang Chengyue couldn't help but ask, "What about now? Where did those cultivators go?
Have they all ascended to become immortals? "
Ou Peng smiled bitterly and said, "According to the sect's secret records, it is not easy to become an Immortal. There might not even be one in a million people who can succeed. How can it be as you think? Everyone has become an Immortal."
Zhang Chengyue was puzzled and said, "Since they haven't cultivated to become immortals, didn't you just say that they have a long lifespan? There must be some who have lived until now. Why haven't I seen them before?
You haven't even heard of it? "
As soon as he said that, his eyes lit up. "Could this be related to the destruction of the Immortal Dao?"
Ou Peng nodded and said, "Yes, it's because the Immortal Dao was destroyed that they couldn't survive until now. Even their inheritances have changed!"
Then, Ou Peng sorted out his thoughts and said slowly, "Actually, in the beginning, there was no Immortal Dao in this world. There were only mediocre ordinary people who lived a muddled and rigid life. I don't know when, but four Immortal Cultivators suddenly came to this world.
Seeing the pleasant scenery of this world and the simplicity of the world, he decided to stay and establish a sect here to teach his disciples. "
Hearing this, Zhang Chengyue opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but he didn't dare to interrupt Ou Peng.
Ou Peng saw this and said, "Chengyue, what do you want to ask?"
Zhang Chengyue asked curiously, "Master, I want to know how these four Immortal Cultivators came to this world?
They must have come from the sky. "
Ou Peng smiled and said, "The secret books recorded that they used something called 'Transmission Formation'."
Zhang Chengyue nodded and knew that his master hadn't seen it before, so he didn't say anything more.
Ou Peng pondered for a while, then continued, "They're the same as us martial artists. What we cultivate is zhenqi, and what they cultivate is also zhenqi. However, our zhenqi is created by our own thoughts, and is tempered and matured within our own bodies. They, on the other hand, draw something from the outside world called 'Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi' into their bodies, and form their own zhenqi. Forget it." At this point, Ou Peng became somewhat impatient, and waved his hand, saying, "Let's not compare martial arts with cultivation. Many words are the same, so it's easy to confuse them.
"Immortal Cultivators attract Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi into their bodies and cultivate in their bodies. They widen their meridians and gather True Qi. All of their spells, escape techniques, sword techniques, and so on are based on Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.
It's said that Immortal Cultivators' cultivation levels are divided into Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and so on. I don't know the specifics, but it seems that there are some legendary realms after that. "
At this time, Zhang Chengyue interrupted Ou Peng's words and asked, "Master, can you tell me specifically what these realms are?"
Ou Peng thought for a moment and said, "I've probably read about it in some secret books. The Qi Refining stage is where one can draw the world's Yuan Qi into one's body to refine one's meridians and body, and accumulate one's foundation. Once one reaches a certain level, one will reach the Foundation Building stage. After reaching the Foundation Building stage, if one continues to cultivate, a small sphere will form in one's dantian, which is called the Golden Core. Even if one enters the Golden Core stage, when one cultivates to a certain level, the Golden Core will shatter, and a small baby will be born from the Golden Core.
It seems that after reaching the Nascent Soul realm, you can use the Nascent Soul to fly and go wherever you want to go. "
Zhang Chengyue listened and was stunned. He couldn't help but ask, "Master, is what you said true?
The more I listen, the more it sounds like a story told by my grandmother. "
Ou Peng laughed and scolded, "Chengyue, I'm also your Master who taught you martial arts since you were young. When have you seen me beat you up?
These are all recorded in the secret books in the sect that are only for the Sect Leader's reference. You'll know when you read them in the future. "
Zhang Chengyue touched his belly and said, "Master, isn't the dantian here?
I cultivate True Qi every day. Why can't I form a Golden Core and then hatch a Nascent Soul? "
Ou Peng didn't explain to him and continued, "These four Immortal Cultivators established their own sects and established four Immortal Cultivation sects. They spread their branches and leaves in our world.
However, these four Immortal Cultivators cultivated for many years and were unable to truly become Immortals. In the end, they died like cranes, leaving behind only their orthodoxy and opening the path of Immortal Cultivation. "
Zhang Chengyue was stunned and said, "Even the ancestors of Immortal Cultivation didn't truly cultivate to become Immortals. Can this path of Immortal Cultivation really be walked?"
Ou Peng said awkwardly, "About this, the secret books didn't say whether or not there were people who cultivated to become Immortals. I'm not too sure."
Soon after, he said with a deep meaning, "Even if you can't cultivate to become Immortals, with the magical ability to overturn rivers and seas and the ability to fly, what's the difference between you and Immortals?
On this path of Immortal Cultivation, there are naturally countless people. "
Zhang Chengyue nodded thoughtfully. Just like practicing martial arts, not everyone could be a top master. However, even the average master was several times stronger than an ordinary man. Naturally, there were many people who wanted to practice martial arts, let alone Immortal Cultivation.
Ou Peng said again, "When Immortal Cultivation was prosperous, there were four big Immortal Cultivation sects in this world. There were also many small sects that split from the four big sects. There were even many rogue cultivators who relied on some methods from the four big sects to cultivate. According to the records in the secret books, there were often mortals who saw Immortal Cultivators riding rainbows, white clouds, and flying swords in the sky. Moreover, Immortal Cultivators also had the temperament of mortals. If there was a conflict, Sword Qi would be unstoppable, causing mountains to collapse and rivers to flow backward. They were really no different from Immortals.
That's right, the divine abilities of cultivators are not to be underestimated. They can refine elixirs that can increase one's power, refine weapons that can be used to refine magical weapons and weapons, and draw talismans that can gather the Qi of Heaven and Earth into the talismans to achieve a certain effect.
These pills were really good stuff. Not only were they useful for humans, they were also useful for some animals with quite a lot of spiritual aura. Occasionally, many animals were also able to obtain pills. The very lucky ones were unexpectedly also able to cultivate. "
"Animals can also cultivate?" Zhang Chengyue felt this was inconceivable.
"Yes, Immortal Cultivators call them Xiuyaoists. However, the path of Immortal Cultivation in our world was too short so these Xiuyaoists didn't have too many achievements. Many of them were Immortal Cultivators' spiritual objects, which were given to them to look at their immortal caves as playthings.
In fact, there were not only Immortal Cultivators and Xiuyaoists, but also Xiumoists. "
"Xiumoists?
What's the connection between them and the current Devil Cult? "
"They both have the word 'Devil' in their names so they must be related. However, it's been too long and the records in the secret books are not very detailed so I can't say for sure."
"By the way, Master, just now you kept talking about the Four Great Immortal Cultivation Sects. Which four sects are they?"
Ou Peng thought for a while and said, "The Four Great Immortal Cultivation Sects are the Incense Sect, the Dalin Temple, the Shendao Sect and …"
At this point, Ou Peng's face was full of pride. "The last one is our Misty School!"
Hearing this, Zhang Chengyue was shocked. "Our Misty School is also one of the Four Great Immortal Cultivation Sects with such a powerful background. But, Master, don't tell me you're also a Immortal Cultivator?"
Ou Peng said, "Of course I'm not a Immortal Cultivator. If I were a Immortal Cultivator, how could our Misty School still be like this?"
Zhang Chengyue said, "That's right. Since Immortal Cultivators are so powerful, naturally everyone would go to Immortal Cultivation Sects. How could you also practice martial arts? But why are there only martial arts now and no Immortal Cultivators?"
Ou Peng said with a smile, "That's the crux of the problem. Immortal Cultivation and martial arts can't be mentioned in the same breath. Why is that?"
Zhang Chengyue thought for a while and said, "It's because of the difference in power!"
Ou Peng shook his head and said, "That's because when Immortal Cultivators ran amok in this world, they didn't have martial arts at all!"
"Ah!" Zhang Chengyue was shocked again.
