Five Immortals Gate

"This is not actually because our five sects are difficult to find, but because our sects have been having a headache since the ancient times. The powerful immortal magic must have its fundamental reason for its power. , I also told you several types of spiritual roots," the old man in gray shirt said to Li Yan with a wry smile.

After hearing this, Li Yan thought for a while and said, "Miscellaneous spiritual roots, mysterious spiritual roots, earth spiritual roots, heavenly spiritual roots, holy spirit roots and alien spiritual roots."

The old man in gray shirt nodded and said, "Yes, there are these types, but these are only for other sects, and our ancestors of the five sects created these five ancient sects respectively, and those who require the ability to learn these immortal arts are This is why our skills are so powerful, unlike other sects.”

Li Yan nodded when he heard this. Although he was young, he still understood this truth. Good things that fall from the sky do not exist. Good things must have their fundamental needs, but he did not say much. , just waiting for the old man to continue.

The old man glanced at him and continued, "You should be able to guess from the names of these five sects that our five sects have the most sensitive attributes among the five elements."

Li Yan nodded, it was not difficult to guess, and said, "Like the Yimu Immortal Sect, the immortal method must be created for the wood attribute element, so people with good qualities of sensing wood spirit gas should practice it; the Dinghuo Immortal Sect should do it It is based on fire-attribute immortality. People who are sensitive to fire auras practice more. As for your Guishui Immortal Sect, it is natural that the water-attribute physique is better."

The old man sighed and said, "You only guessed part of it right. Although the immortal magic practiced by our five sects also corresponds to the strongest attributes of the five elements that we sense, it is different from all other sects. We do not need the Holy Spirit root." , but it requires one person to have all the attributes of the five elements at the same time to practice."

Having said this, the old man paused and looked at Li Yan, but saw that Li Yan's expression was blank, but he did not ask further questions. He just frowned and thought, as if he was considering what he just said. I couldn't help but praise in my heart, "This son has a stable nature and a good mind."

Li Yan was thinking about the meaning of the old man's words. What the old man said was that what the five ancient sects needed was someone who could sense the five basic elements between heaven and earth at the same time, but this kind of physique should be in the world of immortality. The most despised miscellaneous spirit roots, let’s not talk about why they need the miscellaneous spirit roots that other sects don’t want. This should be related to the cultivation of immortality in the Five Immortals Sect, but it shouldn’t be difficult to find. According to the old man According to the previous description, although the population of the fairy world is small, there should still be people looking for it based on the chance. What's more, later, cultivators from the fairy world came to the mortal world to establish inheritance, which increased the chance of finding, but the old man But why do you say that inheritance is the most troublesome thing for their five sects?

"This is the biggest secret of our five ancient sects. Although we need people with mixed spiritual roots, these are not ordinary mixed spiritual roots. Of course, mixed spiritual roots are the body's response to metal, wood, water, fire, The five elements of earth are all responsive. Not only do we need this person to have the attributes of these five elements, but the attributes of the five elements must be arranged in order of strength according to the law of mutual generation. The method of mutual generation of the five elements is 'water generates wood, wood generates fire, and fire generates earth. Earth generates metal, and metal generates water. This cycle of life and death is endless. Then the attributes of the five elements in the body of a cultivator must also be based on the five elements.

\u003c/di\u003e

There are strong and weak arrangements for the mutual generation of elements. For example, in the 'Xinjin Immortal Sect', they are mainly 'gold', so the arrangement of the five elements in the body of a cultivator must be 'gold, water, wood, fire, and earth', which is the most sensitive to the aura of heaven and earth. The stronger one should be 'gold', followed by 'water', and then 'wood, fire, and earth'. If the latter one is stronger than the previous one, you cannot practice the immortal method of the 'Xinjin Immortal Sect'; similarly we' Guishui Immortal Sect feels that the order of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is "water, wood, fire, earth, metal", and the strength is also decreasing in order, so that you can practice your own immortal method. "

After listening to these words, Li Yan already understood the meaning of the old man in gray shirt. In this mortal world alone, an ordinary cultivator may find one person among a hundred thousand people, no matter what spiritual root he has. This is considered extremely low, and if miscellaneous spiritual roots are screened out from this extremely low-probability crowd, it is unknown whether one person can be found among millions of people, and in the end, it will be almost It is self-evident that the probability of finding a physique formed by the intergenerational method of the five elements among those who have emerged from the waves is self-evident.

He has learned this kind of arithmetic in a simple way. According to this order, it is God's will to find one person out of more than a billion people. I think even the fairy world will not be that good. , I really don’t know how they passed it down.

Seeing Li Yan's knowing expression, the old man sighed and said, "So, each generation of our five sects has to work hard to find someone to inherit the next generation. Each generation basically has a single person or a few people. On the one hand, we have to practice Taoism. The time spent on cultivation is relatively small at the beginning, but later it will be measured in units of ten years or hundreds of years. Usually, a retreat may last for tens or hundreds of years. For us, this is just a snap of the fingers. Just in a flash.

Therefore, in addition to the time for cultivation, the time for going out to find suitable inheritors can only be concentrated for a certain period of time. In this way, we go out intermittently, and naturally we have little contact in the eyes of the world. As for why we don’t open up more widely. Immortal sects recruit disciples. This method has been used in ancient times, with little effect. It is not as fast as using our spiritual consciousness to scan low-level immortal cultivators after we go out ourselves. Therefore, this special miscellaneous spiritual root constitution is a problem that we cannot solve. "

When Li Yan heard this, his expression couldn't help but froze, as if he thought of something. The old man noticed his expression at a glance, and seemed to know what he was thinking of. He smiled at him and said, "That teacher of yours is not me." For this sect, he said that the cultivation of the 'Muying Sect' requires special physiques and so on. In fact, he just wants to conceal the search for people with spiritual roots, so that others think it is a special condition for recruiting disciples of the hidden Jianghu sect. "

Li Yan was speechless, and he had begun to have doubts about his teacher. If he said that before accepting him as a disciple, he wanted to hide his spiritual roots from the world, this would be reasonable. After all, immortal cultivators are not as good as ordinary mortals. It's shocking to say that, but since you have become his disciple, if you continue to hide it, you can say that you have ulterior motives.

The old man certainly knew what Li Yan was thinking at this moment, and he

He sighed and said, "Although this Ji Military Master's magic power is not worth mentioning in the eyes of most immortal cultivators, he is really considered a hero. We will talk about him later."

Li Yan nodded, knowing that the old man had something else to say.

"Our five sects rarely appear in front of the world. Firstly, the number of people is sparse. Unlike other immortal sects, anyone with spiritual roots can basically recruit; secondly, in the world of immortality, the weak are the strongest. Without strong strength, one person can be alone. Outside, it is common to be killed by others for treasures, or to die in unprovoked fights. Therefore, those of us from the five sects who go out to find the inheritance of the sect must practice enough to protect themselves. Generally, we must at least reach the integration stage. If the magic power is too weak and goes out, the chance of death is very high. Our five sects cannot afford this kind of thing, because the number of people is too sparse.

The members of the five sects are so hard to find. With the changes in the sea, they naturally began to decline slowly. By my time, our five sects began to look for people from the inherited sects one after another from the late stage of becoming gods. Fortunately, the immortal method we cultivate is powerful. , it is difficult for other sects of the same realm to meet opponents. Killing them is like killing chickens and dogs. Even if we face three or five people of the same realm at the same time, we can still win. Even enemies who are one level above us can be killed. It's not impossible for him. "Speaking of this, the old man in gray shirt showed a look of arrogance on his face, and there was a domineering look on his sluggish face, which showed how proud he was of the immortal method he had practiced.

"The reason why we consider going out to find successors during the transformation stage is of course out of necessity. Disciples are hard to find. The second reason is that cultivators who are above the integration stage in the world of immortality rarely show up. Well, at this stage, I am basically trying my best to think about how to improve my strength and realm. Most of the time I spend most of my time in isolation or going to some extremely dangerous places to find my own opportunities, unless it is my own family or sect. At the critical point of life and death, otherwise we would not show up easily. Under such circumstances, if we reach the distracted stage of cultivation and go out to look for inheritance, we can still protect ourselves, but at this time we will not show our sect status to others. , so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, those unknowing immortal cultivators have been coveting the immortal magic of our five sects for more than a day or two. This is why the outside world has only seen the appearance of masters from our five sects who have combined, transcended tribulations, and even the Mahayana stage. But even so, it is extremely difficult to find the successor. Sometimes you have to cross vast regional continents, or even cross the interface between two worlds to find the disciple; because of this, it is extremely difficult to encounter more powerful enemies and space turbulence. It's possible that some of the masters from the five sects who went out to look for successors never came back. They may have died outside, and our five sects have become even more attuned." The old man's voice said here. A little depressed, he slowly raised his head to look at the sky, with a lonely look on his face, as if he was reminiscing.

Li Yan did not dare to disturb him, but after a moment, the old man looked away, glanced at Li Yan, and continued, "I was the only one left in my Guishui lineage two million years ago. At that time, the other four There is no news from any of the other sects. I guess they have already left before me." The old man had a sad and sad look on his face, and thoughts and memories came to his mind. At that time, even though there were five sects.

\u003c/di\u003e

There have been disputes from time to time, but they have been together since ancient times. They have the same spirit, practice together, and travel together in the world. The past is like smoke, and the long years have passed like this. But now that I wake up, everything is over. , just like a dream.

When Li Yan heard the words "two million years ago", his calm face showed an expression of disbelief. How many millions of years can people live in this world? This was such a fantasy, but when it was said in front of him, he somehow felt like believing it. This thought emerged in his heart, making himself shocked.

The old man in gray shirt paused for a while, shook his head gently, as if to shake off the memories in his mind, and then raised his eyes to see Li Yan, feeling a little relieved in his heart.

"More than two million years ago, I was in seclusion for a hundred years. After I came out of seclusion, the other four sects had long since disappeared, and weeds were everywhere. Only Fairy Ningke of Yimu Immortal Sect left a jade slip, telling me that she had left. After the seclusion, I have reached the realm of training. I have been waiting here for seventy years. There is no news about the other three sects. Seeing that I have not left the seclusion, I also went out to look for inheritance. However, after leaving, we never had any news. No contact." The old man in gray shirt looked dim, but now his figure was a little blurry than before, and his facial expression became a little unclear, but Li Yan didn't notice it.

After hearing these words, Li Yan opened his mouth, as if he felt it was inappropriate to interrupt the old man's narration at this moment. But what a man that old man was, so he stopped narrating and asked, "Is there anything you don't understand?"

Li Yan asked, "What is a jade slip?"

The old man was stunned when he heard the words, and then laughed at himself, "Haha, I forgot that you know nothing about the world of cultivating immortals." The people he originally came into contact with didn't know these basic knowledge of cultivating immortals, but Li Yan was a A true rookie.

"Then let me tell you something briefly. Jade slips are like books among you mortals. They are a special jade material and are difficult to damage. Unlike paper books, the text, images and sounds inside only It can be said that as long as the jade slips are not damaged, they can be carved and written with spiritual consciousness. It is not as easy to preserve as paper. Oh, yes, there is also spiritual consciousness. Divine consciousness is actually spiritual power. , Thoughts, it’s just that the immortal cultivators have cultivated their spiritual power to a certain degree of substantial power through cultivation; your current spiritual power has also been cultivated to the preliminary level of spiritual consciousness, but it is too weak to form a substance, let alone external. Put it outside the body; generally, spiritual consciousness will be generated at the third level during the Qi Condensation stage, but the coverage area is small, about a few feet. At that time, it can be placed outside the body, and words and images can be carved on the jade slips. Or sound; in addition, it can replace the eyes and ears to see and hear the world. The stronger the spiritual consciousness, the wider the range of what can be seen and heard. Oh, by the way, the third-level master is at the third level of Qi Condensation. He has already A person who can release his spiritual consciousness outside his body. Although it is only about a few feet away, he can already see you without using his eyes, listen carefully to what you say without using his ears, and can also scan what you are doing through his spiritual consciousness within a certain range. What are you talking about? It's even clearer than what you can see with your eyes and what you can hear with your ears." At this point, the old man looked at Li Yan with a half-smile.
