Just as Li Yan began to sink into the pool, the wooden expression of Military Advisor Ji on the shore suddenly relaxed a little.
"Persist until 70% to 80% of the medicinal power is absorbed, just like the disciple last time.
But if this is the case, with his mixed spiritual roots, it will be even more difficult for him to refine the medicinal power to the first level of Qi Condensation. No matter what, we still need to try it to know. I hope the result will not be the same as last time."
He didn't think any more at the moment. He pushed off the ground with his feet and leaped into the air. His arms were stretched out in parallel, and his sleeves were fluttering in the wind. He was like a black roc flying towards the surface of the pool.
The moment it approached the water surface, he shook his sleeve towards the black air that was still circling and fluctuating on the water surface. Amidst a "pop pop pop" sound, ten strands of black air collapsed into wisps of thin black smoke and dispersed everywhere.
Then he dived in the air, and his other hand stretched out from his sleeves. The next moment, he grabbed Li Yan who was under the water. With a "splash", Li Yan was grabbed by his chest and dragged out of the water.
Then he lightly tapped the water surface with his toes, and then his body bent again in the air, flying towards the shore with Li Yan.
At this time, the unconscious Li Yan swayed in his hand as if he had no weight at all. Master Ji's figure floated to the shore like a wisp of smoke. His movements were quick and agile.
What he didn't realize was that when he brushed away the black air on the water with his left hand, the strange book that he usually kept tightly in his sleeve emitted a golden light that broke out of the book as he brushed away the black air on the water.
Then it mixed in with the dissipating black smoke on the water surface. It passed through the black smoke and headed towards the body of Li Yan who was caught by him at an extremely fast speed. It disappeared in a flash and no trace was left.
After Master Ji landed and stood still on the shore, he laid Li Yan flat on the ground, then quickly made a few hand seals with his hands in front of his chest, pointed at Li Yan's abdomen, and several points of green light shot into him.
Li Yan's body trembled, and then he returned to his calm state.
When Master Ji saw this, his brows couldn't help but frown, and then he formed a few hand seals, and once again more green light flew into Li Yan's abdomen, but this time Li Yan's body didn't even react at all.
Advisor Ji Jun frowned immediately, walked quickly to Li Yan, bent down, probed Li Yan's nose with his finger, frowned even deeper, and muttered to himself.
"This is strange. The person is not dead, but he cannot wake up. Last time, he woke up just by a burst of spiritual energy entering his body. Why is it like this this time?"
He then stood up straight, put his hand on his forehead and began to think.
At this moment, Li Yan's body was ravaged by fire poison, and his meridians were completely destroyed wherever it passed.
Just when his life was on the verge of extinction, another inexplicable force suddenly grew in his body. This force was extremely huge, like a tide, cool and turbulent.
It passed through every part of his body at an extremely fast speed. The meridians that had been damaged by the burn of the fire poison were recovering at an alarming speed after being covered by this tide.
And the running fire poison was also suppressed by this huge force, and finally forced towards a corner of Li Yan's body.
When the few green rays from Strategist Ji entered his body, Li Yan's mind suddenly became clearer. The hard training over the past few days has made it an instinct for him.
Just as he was about to sit up and subconsciously wanted to refine the power of today's medicine, he suddenly heard a loud shout in his head.
"Do you want to die?"
There was a buzzing sound in Li Yan's head, and he lost consciousness in a dizzy state.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yan woke up slowly. Just as he was about to open his eyes, a voice slowly sounded in his mind.
"Boy, don't open your eyes yet, or you will be dead soon."
Li Yan was stunned and wanted to ask, but found that he could not make any sound. In desperation, he wanted to look around, but found that he could not open his eyes.
"I told you not to open your eyes, but you didn't listen and wasted my limited mana."
The voice came again, filled with a hint of fatigue.
Li Yan was shocked and thought to himself.
"Is this death? Is the Nine Netherworld so dark that I can't even see, and even talking is a luxury."
At this moment, he suddenly felt dizzy in his mind, and then many images flashed and changed rapidly in front of his eyes. When he could see clearly again, he found himself on a small black lake.
His body was suspended abruptly, the sky here was dark, and this small lake was windless and waveless. It was very quiet, giving people a feeling of depression.
He could neither fall down nor rise to higher in the sky, so he could only stand there.
Just as he looked around in confusion, the air in front of him suddenly began to blur and distort. In this distorted picture, various black lines twisted, intertwined, and overlapped.
Finally, a blurry human figure slowly formed. As soon as the figure was formed, it slowly walked towards him. As the person got closer, the figure gradually became clearer.
He was a tall old man with long snow-white hair draped to his shoulders, a clear face, and eyes like deep water, unfathomable, as if he could see through a thousand years at a glance and penetrate the vast time and space.
The old man was dressed in a grey gown, but his face looked listless. As he walked, an invisible aura pressed towards Li Yan, making him extremely unsteady on his feet, and his body shook involuntarily a few times.
Li Yan smiled bitterly in his heart.
"Is this the Avici Hell that Buddhists often mention in books? Below should be the Shura Sea of Hell, and the old man in front of me should be the soul-catcher, but at least he doesn't look scary."
The gray-shirted old man slowly walked up to Li Yan, staring at him, with a cold aura emanating from him.
"If I had woken up a moment later, you would have died."
Li Yan was stunned and couldn't help but say, "Sir Messenger, am I not already dead? Otherwise, why would I come to this Avici Hell?"
After he finished speaking, he was even more shocked. When could he speak? Wasn't he speechless just now? He thought that his soul had left his body, and it was undoubtedly his soul that was speaking now.
When the old man heard this, he was stunned at first, but a smile appeared on his clear face.
"Do you think you are a soul? What you said is true, but it is not!" Li Yan saw that the other party did not look ferocious, so he became bolder. Hearing this, he hesitated and said.
"Why do you say that, envoy? I was just in the valley of Qingshanai, and suddenly I came here. If it's not my soul being hooked, then what else could it be?"
When the old man heard what Li Yan said, the corner of his mouth curled up and a playful smile appeared on his face.
"I said that you are now in your own sea of consciousness, oh, that is, in your consciousness space, do you believe it?"
Li Yan was stunned.
"Sea of consciousness? My consciousness space?"
Li Yan had never heard of the sea of consciousness, but he understood something about "consciousness". When he was practicing, he accomplished it by driving his consciousness through meditation, so this is also what is often called intention in the martial arts world.
"My body appears in the thoughts in my mind?"
Li Yan had a strange expression on his face.
"You can say that the sea of consciousness is a space of awareness that can be large or small, but ordinary people cannot enter their own or others' sea of consciousness.
And now I have brought your consciousness into your sea of consciousness, and it has only formed a physical shadow, so it is correct for you to say that a soul is here. "
The old man said with a smile.
Li Yan had a look of disbelief on his face, his own body appeared in his head, what kind of concept was this, he couldn't understand.
The old man looked at Li Yan with a confused look on his face, smiled at him kindly, and continued speaking.
“I have limited time now, so I can only talk to you briefly, and then I have more important things to tell you.
The sea of consciousness or you can call it the mind, the more powerful the creature, the stronger the consciousness, the wider the sea of consciousness, but this space is illusory and cannot be touched by ordinary people.
For immortal cultivators, however, they can observe their own and even others' sea of consciousness. The wider the sea of consciousness, the greater the power of immortal magic. Of course, the sea of consciousness has many other uses, but you can only slowly learn about them in the future."
Li Yan felt as if he was in a fog. What was going on? How did a cultivator appear again? An immortal? Aren't those things something that only appeared in legends
He was about to ask further questions, but the old man in gray seemed to see his confusion and spoke directly.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but I don't have much time, so I can only tell you the important things. If you have the opportunity to join an immortal sect in the future, you will slowly learn."
The old man said with a tired look on his face.
After hearing this, Li Yan looked at the old man again. Although he was still confused, he did not ask any more questions. He stood there quietly, waiting for the old man to continue.
Seeing his expression, the old man nodded slightly, stretched out a finger, and a ray of black light emerged from the fingertip.
Just when Li Yan didn't know what was happening, the old man in gray had already pointed his finger at his forehead from a distance.
Then, a huge breath surged into Li Yan's mind, and at the same time, a lot of information appeared in his mind that he could not understand at all.
A magnificent and turbulent picture that Li Yan had never seen or heard of in his life quickly appeared in his mind, leaving him dumbfounded and astonished.
Are there immortals in the world
The answer is: Yes.
Immortals have existed since ancient times. After Pangu created the world and Nuwa repaired the sky, the world was divided into several levels: the mortal world, the immortal world, and the true immortal world.
The mortal world is the lowest level of the world. Originally, it was inhabited by ordinary people and low-level beasts. They have ordinary abilities, but strong reproductive abilities.
The fairy world is located between the mortal world and the true fairy world. Many creatures in this world are humans and monsters from the ancient primitive period.
This world is full of spiritual energy, and both humans and other creatures have long lifespans. Their ancestors passed down many ancient magic techniques, and by practicing these techniques, they can have the ability to fly into the sky and turn rivers and seas upside down.
But the heaven and earth have their own laws. Giving you a long life will also bring you other restrictions. These descendants of the ancient times have difficulty reproducing. Whether it is humans, monsters or other races, it is extremely difficult to reproduce, and the number of races is relatively scarce.
The highest level is the True Immortal Realm, which is the real immortal realm in the legend. Ancient Pangu and Nuwa are all supreme immortals who live in this realm.
They live as long as the heaven and earth, shine as brightly as the sun and the moon, and are immortal. Every true immortal has supernatural powers that are all-encompassing. With a wave of their hands and feet, they can change the heaven and earth, pick the stars and grasp the moon, and even build their own small world and shape a new race of life.
The number of True Immortals in the True Immortal Realm is not fixed. They are also in danger of falling, such as fighting between True Immortals or exploring broader unknown laws.
And many immortal cultivators in the fairy world below, when they reach the Mahayana realm, can try to break the two worlds and ascend to the true immortal world through the void.
There are ten major realms in cultivating immortals: Qi condensing, foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, spirit transformation, refining emptiness, fusion, transcending tribulation, Mahayana, and true immortality.
And each major realm is divided into different minor realms.
For example, the Qi Condensation Stage is divided into ten small realms, among which the first to third levels are the early stage of Qi Condensation; the fourth to sixth levels are the middle stage of Qi Condensation; the seventh to ninth levels are the late stage of Qi Condensation, and the tenth level is perfect, after which one can sprint to the next realm - the Foundation Establishment Stage.
But after the foundation-building stage, each realm is divided into three small realms: early, middle and late stages.
The Qi Condensation Stage is just the beginning of condensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into oneself, and accumulating the foundation of immortal cultivation through ten small realms.
Only after entering the Foundation Establishment Stage can one truly embark on the path of cultivating immortals. Therefore, in addition to making the body stronger and being able to use some simple little spells, the lifespan is only slightly longer than that of ordinary creatures of the same kind.
But after reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage, the lifespan suddenly increases to over two hundred years, in the Golden Core Stage it can reach over five hundred years, and in the Nascent Soul Stage it reaches a terrifying two thousand years.
Later, as the cultivator's cultivation realm increases, his lifespan will continue to increase until he breaks through to the Mahayana stage and reaches the True Immortal stage, which means he will be immortal.
