Chapter 212: Ancient Secrets, the Evolution of Cultivation and Immortality

The treasure house in the home of a celestial being is indeed extraordinary.

Because there is actually a starry sky in here.

Of course, it’s not a real starry sky, it’s just arranged to look like the starry sky.

Because there is no sky, no earth here, only countless stars hanging in the void of the entire treasure pavilion.

"As expected, it's a celestial treasure house. It's quite large."

Liang Xiao's spiritual sense swept through this space and found that it was actually tens of thousands of kilometers in size.

He waved his hand and put a protective layer made entirely of innate runes on Cen Yi: "Go ahead, take whatever you like. It would be a pity if it is destroyed anyway."

"Yes, thank you, Master."

Cen Yi immediately flew towards the stars happily. The world inside her body was almost growing to a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers. If she let go, she could completely empty this treasure house.

Liang Xiao picked a star casually.

The stars turned into a piece of golden paper in his hands, with dense and fine lines on it, which was exactly the analysis of an innate rune.

"Petrified? Interesting."

He took a quick glance, understood it thoroughly, then put it away and looked at other stars.

"Oh? The Record of Wonders of Heaven and Earth?"

He waved his hand again, and a star flew over and turned into a heavenly book in his hand.

The book was empty, but after scanning it with his spiritual sense, he was able to obtain a lot of information.

"nice one."

Liang Xiao was overjoyed.

Because this heavenly book talks about the names and effects of various treasures in the world, covering countless natural treasures in the three major categories of land, water and air, and even countless treasures in the void are listed.

However, most of the treasures in the void only have names and simple function introductions, without detailed information such as the growth environment.

Even so, it is very precious.

For Liang Xiao, this book of rare treasures is more precious than anything else and can broaden his horizons.

That's right, it can only broaden his horizons.

Because his system has reached this point, there are very few treasures that can have any effect on him.

Unless it is a treasure like the Enlightenment Tower that has magical effects and can accelerate the flow of time at the thinking level.

It can also be seen from here that the level of the Enlightenment Tower is really high, and even now, it can still have an effect on him.

"The difference and evolution between cultivating immortals and cultivating the true self?"

Liang Xiao found an ancient book that interested him.

The content of this ancient book is the difference and evolution between cultivating immortals and cultivating the truth.

Judging from the content, there is an essential difference between cultivating the truth and cultivating immortals.

In ancient times, in order to fight against the ferocious beasts in the ancient times, the ancestors of the human race imitated the breath of the ferocious beasts in the ancient times, and used fantasy to make the fake come true, using their thoughts to build their bodies and tap into their subconscious minds.

This is the practice of Taoism.

Later, it gradually evolved into absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, ignoring the thoughts, and evolved into cultivating immortals.

Cultivation can basically be regarded as focusing on the physical body, and the physical body is used to achieve true immortality.

According to this ancient book, a true cultivator, a true immortal in the flesh, can confront a Daluo Golden Immortal.

"This looks... so much like the gods and demons training in the novels of my past life?"

Liang Xiao continued to read and became more and more surprised.

Because according to the introduction in this very old "history book", the real cultivation of Taoism basically relies on "fantasy".

Of course, it is not pure fantasy, but to hone one's will and tap into the subconscious.

The main method is to first dig out the subconscious mind, and then train the subconscious mind into the flesh and blood to polish the indestructible body.

Even though they would absorb energy from heaven and earth from the outside world, all the energy absorbed was used to strengthen the physical body, not to cultivate true Qi.

This type of practice seems very selfish, because this type of practitioner can absorb all the treasures from heaven and earth in order to strengthen themselves.

This type of practitioner has almost no skills and fights purely by brute force and fighting techniques.

Only by relying on one's own understanding and realizing the 'true method' can one unleash multiple times the power.

This type of practitioner cannot use magic.

However, when this type of practitioner reaches the immortal level, their supernatural powers will be awakened.

For example - follow the laws of heaven and earth!
Seeing this, Liang Xiao couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly and became cautious.

He felt that this way of practice seemed to be the right way.

Because of this cultivation system, in the end, divinity can be born. Although it is impossible to experience thousands of evolutions like him, divinity will be born in the end and magical powers can be awakened.

It even introduces the great god Pangu and the twelve ancient witches.

According to the analysis of later generations, the great god Pangu and the Twelve Ancestral Witches were the true cultivators. They did not cultivate true qi, but only their true bodies.

Therefore, their bodies are invincible, their strength is unlimited, and they can break anything with one force.

But since the end of the era of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, later generations have discovered that developing the subconscious mind requires extremely high talent and even more strong perseverance.

This is too difficult. Among countless people, only a very few can do it.

And among this very small number of people, only a very small number can reach the level of true immortals.

As for the vast majority of people, they can only stay at the entry level.

Therefore, later generations gradually explored the method of retaining "qi" based on the method of swallowing the sky and eating qi, and no longer completely devoured all the "qi".

Thus, the era of Qi training arrived.

But this is still not cultivating immortality.

The ancient Qi cultivators were the ones who truly practiced Qi. Their Qi would not liquefy, and no matter how it was sublimated, it would still be Qi.

In that era, ancient Qi cultivators developed all kinds of magical methods, and even once caused a world-destroying natural disaster.

Because some demon-level Qi-refining masters can refine their Qi and luck and directly transform themselves into peerless demon brothers, using all the spirits in the world as straw dogs, fiddling with the chess game, and playing with the world.

As a result, countless people who were unable to become Qi Refiners gradually developed into immortal cultivators of later generations in order to fight against the Qi Refiners.

The ultimate goal of those who practice Taoism is to transcend, not be bound by the heaven and earth (Qi-refining practitioners), and pursue freedom between heaven and earth, detached from the mundane world.

Thus, the true era of cultivating immortals arrived, and it was also the most prosperous era among the ancient practitioners.

Cultivating immortals is countless times easier than cultivating the truth and refining qi.

because--

Cultivators can use all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to achieve self-improvement, such as Foundation Establishment Pills, Golden Yuan Pills, Nascent Soul Pills, etc.

As long as there are enough pills, there will be no bottleneck in theory, and you can continue to break through and upgrade.

As a result, large numbers of powerful immortal cultivators were born, and they immediately overwhelmed the ancient cultivators.

But even so, he still couldn't fight against the ancient Qi Refiner.

There is no way. The ancient Qi cultivators directly used luck as energy, refined luck, and played with all the spirits in heaven and earth. Immortal cultivators were just their pawns, and their goals were different.

At this time, the ancient cultivators had not yet completely withdrawn from the stage of history.

However, the ancient Qi-refining masters and immortal cultivators directly fought each other, and an unprecedented war broke out.

This is a war between cultivation systems, and even more so a war between cultivation concepts. The entire ancient earth has been affected.

Because there are so few true cultivators, in order to escape the war, among the ancient cultivators, a supreme immortal named "Dong" brought his followers, stole Jianmu, moved out of the earth, and occupied a small world in the void far away from the earth.

'Dong' seized the Heaven's Way of that small world, planted Jianmu, used Jianmu to support the heaven and earth, and opened up the world. At the same time, he reorganized the rules of heaven and earth to resist the invasion of Qi Refiners.

Finally, after endless years, the Qi Refiner suddenly disappeared for unknown reasons.

At this time, the group of ancient cultivators led by 'Dong' had already developed the cultivation world into a very powerful one.

This group of cultivators felt that they were able to recover, so they brought their people back to Earth and started a war of plunder.

Plunder the immortal arts, plunder the population, plunder the spiritual veins of heaven and earth, plunder everything.

Thus, a war broke out between the earth's cultivators, who were mainly dragons, and the cultivation world, which was mainly composed of elves, ferocious beasts, and even demons.

This war lasted for more than 100,000 years.

At the beginning, the immortal cultivators from the Earth lineage were invincible.

But later, after the cultivation world also learned how to cultivate immortality, with the full support of "Dong", the war was directly reversed.

At this time, the distinction between cultivating immortals and cultivating the truth began to blur.

Because among the cultivators, there are immortal methods and various spells.

Among the cultivators, there are also those who secretly cultivate their will and physique, and develop supernatural powers. The boundary between the two cultivation systems has become blurred.

Without the advantage of the cultivation system, the immortal cultivators of the Earth lineage were once slaughtered and suffered defeat after defeat.

When their clan was about to be exterminated, a supreme immortal named "Wa" suddenly sacrificed herself, merged with the Heavenly Dao, launched a surprise attack on the world of cultivation, severely injured "Dong", and forcibly cut off the passage between the two worlds.

So, the war ended, and there were no more records about the Earth afterwards.

This is the end of this "history book".

After reading this "history book", Liang Xiao was stunned into silence.
