For this eighth level, Ye Zan actually has plug-ins available, making it easier to pass than the previous levels. Isn't it just climbing the stairs? Although flying methods such as riding the wind and swords are prohibited here, it has no impact on technological aircraft. In other words, Ye Zan only needs a flying skateboard or a single-person aircraft to fly directly to the top.
However, after understanding the benefits that this level could bring to him, Ye Zan completely gave up the idea of using plug-ins. Even at this time, the lucky man from the Star Sect has already left everyone far behind, and may soon be the first to enter the top floor.
Ye Zan calmed down and meditated on the staircase platform, constantly urging the magic power to circulate in his meridians.
Although it looks like you are just sitting there, this is actually physical labor. It is not that as long as the mind moves, the mana will flow with all its strength to automatically overcome the difficulty caused by pressure.
To use an inappropriate metaphor, trying to get the mana to work under that invisible pressure is actually like the intestines trying to get rid of it. The meridians also need to be like the intestines, using a peristaltic method to push the magic power to move along the route of the exercise. At the same time, various acupoints are not idle, just like the heart pumping blood, while exerting force on the magic power in the meridians.
Therefore, this is like a weight-bearing training on the meridians and acupoints.
Of course, blindly overloading the meridians and acupoints is actually harmful to the ascetics. And here, the invisible pressure, while increasing the load on the meridians and acupoints, is actually constantly tempering the meridians and acupoints.
If you look at it from a microscopic level, under the invisible pressure, the basic structure of the meridians and acupoints is also changing at the same time. This change will make the meridians and acupoints stronger and able to withstand greater loads.
After Ye Zan practiced the Kung Fu for several weeks, he felt he had adapted to the pressure, so he stood up and jumped towards the higher stairs.
In this way, Ye Zan stopped and walked, but his speed was not slow, and he soon left all the golden elixir masters behind. Even the Lin family siblings, although their qualifications are top-notch in all aspects, can still not keep up with Ye Zan.
After all, with the Yuan Dan at 108 acupoints, Ye Zan's magical power is almost comparable to that of the Yuan Ying ancestor.
In this level, although it does not mean that someone with a high level of cultivation will definitely be able to lead others. However, at least in the early stages, with stronger magic power, you can still have a certain advantage. Only in the second half of the process, everyone's mana is almost exhausted, and the Nascent Soul realm will not have such a big advantage.
On Ye Zan's side, after catching up with the Yuanying ancestors, he quickly left behind the three Yuanying ancestors from the Taoist Palace and the Freemasonry.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Ye is not slow in coming!" Gu Feng, who was about to jump up, couldn't help but said in surprise when he saw Ye Zan actually catching up with him.
"Haha, my humble cultivation makes fellow Taoists laugh." Ye Zan responded perfunctorily and immediately sat down cross-legged.
"Fellow Taoist is too humble. In the realm of golden elixir, I think you can be called the second person." Gu Feng said with some evil intentions.
In Gu Feng's view, Ye Zan's ability to come here must be at the end of his strength. Therefore, he simply did not leave in a hurry, but stayed here to disturb Ye Zan's mind.
"The second person? What about the first person?" Ye Zan asked casually.
Of course Ye Zan knew what Gu Feng was planning. However, he is not afraid of disturbing his mind. Most of the work of running the technique can be done by the auxiliary chip, so it doesn't matter what he says.
But Gu Feng didn't know about Ye Zan's situation, so when he heard Ye Zan talk to him, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes, and he continued with a sincere face: "This first person seems to be a golden man from the Star Sect. Grandmaster Dan, I’m afraid he’s about to reach the top now, and even we are ashamed of ourselves.”
As soon as he heard this, Ye Zan knew that the person he was talking about was the man with great luck, the golden elixir master of the Xingchen Sect, Cheng Daqi. Therefore, he was not surprised. He nodded and said, "Well, yes, Senior Brother Cheng from Xingchen Sect should indeed be regarded as a role model for our generation."
Ye Zan said this as if he was very familiar with Na Cheng Daqi.
Gu Feng frowned slightly, a little disappointed with Ye Zan's reaction, so he smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Ye is not bad at all! Judging from my opinion, Daoist Ye and the fellow Taoist who became a disciple must be close to each other, so they may not be the same. The chance to surpass him.”
Gu Feng still wanted to provoke, but Ye Zan didn't take that approach at all. Instead, he took the opportunity to ask: "Fellow Daoist Gu, why haven't you seen any friends from the demon clan so far?"
You know, the demonic path is with the demon clan, but now Ye Zan has not seen the demon clan appear. If back then, in the maze, it would have been hard for Ye Zan to plot against the Mo Dao people and the demon clan.
Hearing this, Gu Feng had a hint of anger on his face. Apparently he was thinking of something like Ye Zan, and he couldn't help but said bitterly: "Hmph, those people with fur and horns are probably still on the second floor, doing their spring and autumn." Big dream!”
It turned out that after entering the second level, the demon clan members also entered the dreamland like everyone else. However, for the demon race, it is much more difficult to pass the dream test than the human race. After all, although the demons who came here were at the Nascent Soul level, their spiritual intelligence was still somewhat different from that of the human race.
It's not that the demon clan is stupid, but in terms of state of mind and soul, the demon clan itself has innate disadvantages, and they don't pay much attention to the cultivation of these aspects. Therefore, except for some special monsters, the vast majority of monsters have almost no resistance to methods such as illusions.
The strength of the demon clan lies on the one hand in their physical body and on the other hand in their bloodline. Many demon clans have the blood of ancient wild beasts, and even some true dragon blood. Bloodline will bring them some powerful innate abilities, and even many human spells are borrowed from them.
"Oh, that's such a pity." Ye Zan nodded, closed his eyes and stopped talking to Gu Feng.
Seeing this situation, Gu Feng was not interested in saying anything else. He flicked his broad sleeves and jumped towards the higher step. Originally, he wanted to disturb Ye Zan's mind, but in the end, Ye Zan aroused his anger towards the demon clan. This was really a loss.
However, Gu Feng, the dignified ancestor of the Demon Dao Yuanying, would not be greatly affected by this matter. He still jumped several steps in a row, and then stopped to meditate and do some exercises to resist the much stronger invisible pressure.
As for Ye Zan, after the technique had been running for several days, he suddenly felt a faint vibration from the three golden elixirs in his dantian. Or it can't be said to be a vibration, but it is like a heart beating, but it is not that obvious, and the feeling is fleeting.
After Ye Zan noticed it, he tried to sense it carefully, but found that the three golden elixirs returned to normal and continued to spit out mana.
Fortunately, Ye Zan has an auxiliary chip, and almost all subtle changes in his body cannot escape the monitoring of the auxiliary chip. Ye Zan immediately called up the previous monitoring data and saw that it was not his illusion.
The monks have a vivid way of describing this situation, which they call fetal movement. There is no doubt that this is actually taken from the phenomenon when women are pregnant. For ascetics, women's giving birth to life is a manifestation of the supreme way of heaven, so there is a saying that "the gate of Xuanfei is the root of heaven and earth".
When it comes to practice specifically, although fetal movement is not a separate realm, it represents the transition from the Golden Elixir realm to the Nascent Soul realm. It can be said that fetal movement means the perfection of the golden elixir realm, and it is time to conceive the Nascent Soul with the golden elixir.
However, Ye Zan now only has a hint of fetal movement, and has not really reached that state yet. It can only be said that his current cultivation level is very close to the perfection of the golden elixir realm.
It is actually not surprising at all that Ye Zan was able to reach this point so quickly. Although, when he entered the Immortal Palace, he was still far from the perfection of the golden elixir realm. However, in the Immortal Palace, he did not get any benefits, and he got far more than others.
Just after defeating the touch beast, the rewards selected from the sixteen gates have already brought Ye Zan's one hundred and eight acupoint Yuan Dan to perfection.
You know, if Ye Zan were allowed to practice on his own, if he wanted to practice these 108 acupoint Yuan Dan to perfection, he would probably not be able to master it within ten years. And this still means that if there are sufficient resources, a large number of spiritual stones can be smashed down without any delay. Otherwise, ten years will not be enough.
After entering the small world, Ye Zan just picked up some rags in the early stage, and there was no breakthrough in his cultivation. However, in this tall tower, Ye Zan still made a lot of money even though he used plug-ins to cheat.
Needless to say, the first few levels, mainly starting from the fifth level, Ye Zan received huge rewards in the battlefield. Although it was mainly aimed at the soul, for Ye Zan at the time, the soul was exactly his shortcoming. After all, for ascetics, it is not enough to have cultivation. If you want your cultivation to change from quantitative to qualitative, you must have a powerful enough soul.
The sixth level is just an endorsement. Although there is no special Taoist inheritance, the knowledge is not learned in vain. After storing all that knowledge in his brain, Ye Zan gained a clearer understanding of the avenue through that knowledge.
On the seventh level, he challenged himself and sharpened all his skills. Ye Zan did not cheat at all. At that level, he was down-to-earth and refined everything he had mastered. Whether it is spells, swordsmanship, or talismans and weapons, they are all the use of the power of the Dao. They are also a specific elaboration of the Dao and one of the ways to touch the Dao.
Therefore, what Ye Zan gained in the seventh level was not only the sharpening of his skills, but also a strengthened understanding of the great road.
In this eighth level, what is tempered is the foundation of the Taoist, that is, the Taoist secrets. It is said that this is important and that is indispensable, but the most important thing is the Tao, Dharma and Techniques. Without the Taoist secrets, one would not even be able to enter the threshold of Taoism, and one would not even know which way to open the door to Taoism.
What's more important is that the Taoist method that Ye Zan practices is the "Dongxu Lingquan Miaojing" of the Xuanqing Taoist lineage. Will Xuanqing Daozu open a small stove for his own people? Daoist cultivators are also human beings. It is impossible for Xuanqing Taoist Patriarch to bother doing this just to provide training for disciples of other sects.
It can be said that Ye Zan's cultivation has improved so quickly here precisely because of the "Dongxu Lingquan Miaojing". Of course, Ye Zan has not asked anyone else, so he cannot be sure whether he is the only one who receives such treatment.
But in short, it can be said that Ye Zan's cultivation level can be improved to this level, which can be said to be the result of many causes and causes, so it is also expected.
Ye Zan did not pay too much attention to the signs of fetal movement. Anyway, as long as he continued to practice, he would reach that state sooner or later. He was still as usual, calmly operating his skills and constantly fighting against the invisible pressure. It wasn't until he felt that he had adapted to the pressure that he got up and continued to jump to the higher stairs.
At this level, although there is no restriction on everyone's magic power, everyone still has a tacit understanding and regards continuous climbing as the main goal.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden roar on a staircase platform below Ye Zan, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Ye Zan, who was meditating and doing exercises, couldn't help but look down, but this look suddenly filled him with anger. It turned out that the one who took action on the staircase platform was Ye Zan's companion Shi Yingjie, and the other was a golden elixir master from the Arctic Sword Sect.
The several golden elixir masters of the Arctic Sword Sect all had conflicts with Ye Zan and others, including Zhao Jingsheng, who was deprived of his flying sword. But this time, the one who attacked Shi Yingjie was Zhao Jingsheng, who had recovered his cultivation by some unknown means.
In fact, Ye Zan had passed by Zhao Jingsheng before. But at that time, although Zhao Jingsheng ignored him, he did not show any obvious hostility. Therefore, Ye Zan was too lazy to argue with the other party and passed the stairs without stopping.
However, it is obvious that Zhao Jingsheng is also a bully and does not show hostility to Ye Zan just because he knows that he is not Ye Zan's opponent. However, the Shi family is just a monastic family. Although there are three powerful souls in the family, they are still far behind the Arctic Sword Sect. As a result, Zhao Jingsheng stopped suppressing him. For some unknown reason, he had a conflict with Shi Yingjie and started taking action.
Shi Yingjie's strength is actually not weak, otherwise he would not have been brought here by Shi Qianqiu. You know, for many people, although there are certain dangers here, the opportunities far outweigh the dangers.
However, compared to Zhao Jingsheng, Shi Yingjie's strength was somewhat inferior. Therefore, in this confrontation between the two sides, Shi Yingjie was immediately knocked down the stairs by Zhao Jingsheng. Moreover, since the stairs were spiraling up, Shi Yingjie's descent was not just one or two steps, but almost landed on the ground. (To be continued.)
