Five Immortal Sects

Chapter 27: Guishui True Scripture

Views:

"Guishui Sutra" is the most powerful and core magic method of Guishui Immortal Sect.

It is listed as one of the oldest and most powerful immortal methods in the immortal world, along with the Yi Mu Immortal Sect's "Yi Mu Yin Xian Fa", the Ding Huo Immortal Sect's "Ding Huo Burning Heaven Jue", the Ji Tu Immortal Sect's "Ji Tu Chong Yue Gong", and the Xin Jin Immortal Sect's "Xin Jin Po Qian Jun".

There are countless people who want to join these five ancient sects, but no one has found the locations of the five sects' mountain gates.

The "Guishui Zhenjing" begins with these words.

"There are five elements in the sky: water, fire, metal, wood, and earth. They are transformed at different times to form all things. They complement and restrain each other, and are endless. However, water is the foundation of the five elements. It is as hard as metal, as thick as earth, as flammable as fire, and as light as air!"

The five elements are mutually generated and restrained, and only when they are balanced with each other can they form the five elements. However, at the beginning of chaos, they were also born in a certain order.

Chaos first turned into water, and water became the source of all things. Then came the birth of wood, fire, earth, and metal, until finally a state of balance between mutual generation and mutual restraint was slowly formed, which ran between heaven and earth and enabled all things to grow.

Water is the basis of the five elements and also the first of them.

If it is like eternal ice, its hardness can be compared to the strongest gold; if it is like thousands of layers of water, its thickness can crush the mountains; if it is extremely cold and gloomy, it can burn all things; if it turns mist into gas, its green wood is full of vitality.

Among the five ancient sects, their skills also vary in strength, but this strength is only reflected below the Mahayana stage.

If these five magics are cultivated to the Mahayana stage at the same time, without considering factors such as qualifications and abilities, there will be no winner or loser in terms of the power and supernatural powers of the magics. This is in line with the saying that the five elements will eventually become perfect and unified.

To practice "Guishui Zhenjing", one must use the water spirit root as the foundation. At the end of each level, one must practice according to the five elements to achieve balance, and then one can enter the next level.

Taking the Qi Condensation Stage as an example, water, wood, fire, earth, and metal are generated in pairs, like five large vats of different heights. They are arranged in order, with water being the tallest vat, followed by wood, fire, earth, metal, and metal being the shortest vat.

When practicing "Guishui Zhenjing", one starts with the jar with the highest water attribute as the basis. Practicing is like pouring water. When the water spiritual power is finally cultivated to the mouth of the jar, the water spiritual power jar is full.

But unlike other immortal sect skills, this one will not impact the second level of Qi Condensation Stage, but requires continued practice.

The water spiritual power has nowhere to be stored because the tank is full, so it will continuously overflow from the mouth of the water spiritual power tank and flow down into the wood spiritual power tank which is slightly lower than it.

When the water spirit reaches this tank, it will generate wood spirit due to the law of mutual generation, until the wood spirit tank is filled up again.

And so on, until the golden spiritual power tank is filled, the five elements are generated, and the five elements of spiritual power are collectively called magic power. Then you can impact the second level of Qi Condensation Stage.

With each subsequent advancement in realm, the five elements of spiritual power in the body will circulate in other forms.

Therefore, the Five Immortal Sect requires that the strength of the spiritual roots of their disciples be arranged in order. If their spiritual roots are not arranged in descending order according to the principle of mutual generation, then after practicing the exercises, the spiritual power of the previous attribute cannot be infused into the spiritual power of mutual generation, resulting in an imbalance of spiritual power and a backlash, and finally death on the spot.

For example, a person with mixed spiritual roots has the best sensitivity to water spiritual power, so he needs to practice "Sunflower Water Sutra", but the strength of his other attributes are arranged in the order of fire, earth, gold and wood.

Then when he fills up the large tank of water spiritual power for practicing "Guishui Zhenjing", if he continues to practice at this time, the spiritual power generated after the overflow of the water spiritual power tank will be injected into the large tank of fire spiritual power.

But fire spiritual power cannot be coexisted with water spiritual power, and the result is that the repulsion between the spiritual powers causes a violent explosion that leads to death.

The Five Immortal Sect's skills seem complicated and difficult to practice. Others can advance quickly by cultivating only one attribute of spiritual power, but they have to cultivate all five elements before entering the next stage.

This is a taboo in the world of cultivating immortals. Cultivating immortals, cultivating immortals, is all about time. Otherwise, in just a few decades, one would not be able to reach the foundation-building stage, and would not have enough time to advance to the next stage to increase lifespan, before one’s lifespan was exhausted and died.

In fact, it is not the case for the Five Immortal Sect. What they adopt is the method of mutual generation. Except for the first level of Qi Condensation Period, which requires cultivating the five elements magic power from scratch.

When the last golden spiritual power of the first level of Qi Condensation Stage is cultivated, an endless circle of five elements will be formed.

At this time, gold can regenerate water, which will drive the water spiritual power to accelerate its generation and circulation. The faster the water spiritual power, the faster the generation of other attribute spiritual powers will be, which will make the cultivation speed gradually become faster and faster.

The second benefit of the Five Immortal Sect's skills is that among cultivators of the same level, the magic power in their bodies is three to five times stronger than that of others. However, this also depends on the individual. After all, there are many skills in this world that can cultivate powerful magic power.

The magic power is powerful and profound, the battle lasts longer, and the spells used are more powerful.

The third advantage is that one can practice techniques with different spiritual power attributes. Other sects rarely practice techniques with more than two attributes at the same time.

Except for the Holy Spirit Root, other spiritual roots have multiple attributes, but they will only choose to practice the techniques of their main spiritual root, otherwise their practice speed will be slowed down to a turtle's pace.

The spiritual powers of the Five Immortal Sects complement each other. If the spiritual power of the earth attribute immortal arts is insufficient, the fire attribute spiritual power can be injected into the earth attribute spiritual power tank to transform it into earth spiritual power, and the wood spiritual power can continuously generate fire attribute to supplement the fire spiritual power...

In this way, there is no embarrassing situation where a certain type of magic is not powerful enough due to the thin spiritual power of that attribute. Of course, the premise is that you have time to practice magic of various attributes.

This is the real horror of the five ancient sects, and it is also the reason why the major sects in the fairy world have never been able to figure it out. The core of it is the law of mutual generation.

Seeing this, Li Yan also remembered the strange smile on Dong Fuyi's face when he said that he had cultivated to the peak of the first level of Qi Condensation Stage. Now he understood what he meant.

There is a maximum limit to how much spiritual power Master Ji can absorb from others, and that is the other party's spiritual power cannot exceed the peak of the first level of Qi Condensation Stage. Otherwise, he will die from the backlash due to the other party's spiritual power being too enormous.

After practicing the Five Immortal Sect's skills, one's spiritual power will become several times more powerful than that of others of the same level.

In addition, if the third division suddenly changed the attributes of his spiritual power when absorbing his spiritual power, and the spiritual power he output was not the wood spiritual power cultivated by the "Black Night Curtain Green Art", then the result would be

But the prerequisite for both of these results is that he must at least practice the "Kuishui Sutra" to a level that is at least close to the peak of the first level of the Qi Condensation Stage before he can have a great deal of confidence.

After reading the general outline, Li Yan couldn't help but sigh that there was such a demonic technique in the world. It was really against the will of heaven. No wonder it was so difficult to pass it on. The cycle of heaven had its own justice. At this time, he also understood the fundamental core of the Five Immortal Sect, the mutual generation of the five elements.

Besides that, for example, the spiritual power mentioned by other immortal cultivators, except for the special mention of wood attribute spiritual power and water attribute spiritual power, is equivalent to mana. After all, others cultivate spiritual power of a single attribute, while their mana is the sum of the five elements spiritual power.

After the general outline, there are only a dozen lines left, which are the cultivation formulas for the first level of the Qi Condensation Stage. Li Yan couldn't help but feel refreshed, and his path to immortality was here...

Li Yan slowly opened his eyes. He was still in the stone house, still sitting cross-legged on the bed, but there was an extra mantra in his mind.

He had just memorized these dozen lines of formulas repeatedly in his sea of consciousness. After confirming that they were correct, he thought about how to get out. Then, when he just thought of leaving, he had already exited his sea of consciousness.

Li Yan closed his eyes again and concentrated his mental strength on his forehead. After a flash, he came to the small lake again. Then he drove himself out of this space with his mind. In an instant, he returned to the stone house.

He stood up, stood on the ground, a smile appeared on his face. He finally mastered the method of entering and exiting the sea of consciousness, and also obtained the method of practicing "Guishui Zhenjing". The next step was how to escape from the Valley of Beasts.

After lunch, Li Yan walked briskly to the door of the first stone house. As usual, as soon as he arrived at the door, the gentle voice of Master Ji came from inside the house.

Advisor Ji was still sitting cross-legged behind the low table as if he had never changed, but his face was still a little uncertain. He looked at Li Yan who came in, calmed himself down, and pointed casually at the carpet in front of the table.

"sit down!"

After he came back, he sat cross-legged in meditation for a while as usual to calm the heat in his chest. Recently, the fire poison in his body has become increasingly difficult to suppress.

It would be better if he didn't use his magic power. Once he did, he would feel a sense of disorder in his breath. Just now when he was outside treating Li Yan, he used his magic power several times and felt that his breath was unstable.

"We need to hurry up. If this continues, we may not be able to keep it for a year or two!"

Division Master Ji thought to himself, then habitually stretched out his left hand from his sleeve, and casually looked at the book with two layers of color.

"But we can't put all our hopes on that kid. It's just that this book has been put under a profound ban, huh?"

Although he was thinking about something in his mind, the scene before him made him stunned. The next moment, Master Ji suddenly stood up from the ground.

The books were still the two books glued together. The upper third was still jade white, as before, but the lower two thirds had turned gray-brown, as if it had suddenly lost its luster.

He has been holding this book in his hands for so many years, studying it diligently day after day, but the scene he sees now is no longer the one he is familiar with. This sudden change surprised him.

He hurriedly took the book to his eyes and observed it carefully, and then turned the book over and over several times, looking at it from different angles, and finally confirmed that the book had changed.

He carefully turned the book to one-third of the way through and silently poured his magic power into it. After a while, he heard a clear "bo" sound and his magic power successfully penetrated the lower half of the gray-brown book.

Advisor Ji couldn't help but be overjoyed and thought to himself.

"Could it be that the restrictions on this book have been lost over time? The change in color today should be the power that caused the restrictions to become ineffective."

He hurriedly released his spiritual sense and carefully approached it bit by bit. After a moment, when he found that there was nothing wrong, he increased the power of his spiritual sense and probed into the jade book.

Then, he saw an unexpected scene. There was an empty space in the book, and in the center there was a map hanging in the air, which looked a bit like a picture album distorted by the wind.

When viewed from a distance, you can see several winding lines and some markings on it.

At this time, he still used his spiritual sense to carefully approach the map. He was really cautious.

After a long while, his spiritual consciousness finally stopped in front of the map. Nothing unexpected happened, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The lines on the map look like a road map, with several different routes converging from several directions of the map to an area in the center, and finally stopping at a place similar to a lake.

There were a few flashing blood-red characters on it - "Great Poisonous Living Beings Technique"

Advisor Ji stared at these words blankly for a long while, and after that he couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Great Poisonous Living Beings Technique, Great Poisonous Living Beings, this should be a method of cultivating poison immortals or using poison immortal methods, God will not destroy me, God will not destroy me, haha."

Even a person as timid as Ji Junshi became ecstatic at the end...

After a while, Advisor Ji's consciousness left the jade book, his face showing a mixture of joy and anger.

He had just studied the map carefully. As a member of the "Xunxian lineage", he had been to many places that outsiders could not reach. It seemed that he had been to the places marked on this map.

But some of the terrain and landforms were not similar. He had the impression that after entering the Daqing Mountains and heading west for more than ten thousand miles, and then turning north, there was a long and narrow valley about four thousand miles away, with a lake in the middle that was somewhat similar to this picture.

However, the scene around the lake on the map was somewhat different from what he remembered, which made him uncertain for a moment.
