Chapter 52
Apart from practicing, Tang Jie did not forget to pay attention to the situation of the Wei family. I learned from Shi Meng that the Wei family's troubles are still happening, but because they are all minor problems, they can't hurt the root cause for the time being. It's just that the accusations against Wei Danbai in Wei's mansion have begun to appear. It is said that the old man and the old lady are very dissatisfied with Wei Danbai's actions, but these can't fundamentally shake the position of Wei Danbai's patriarch.
Tang Jie, who had already made up his mind to sit and watch God's will, would not care about it, but continued to practice.
Not long ago, Mu Yi received the news, saying that the matter about the Shanhe Sheji map had been reported. Because this matter involved a secret realm, it caused an uproar in the Qijue Sect. The senior officials of Qijuemen were arguing for a while, but they couldn’t come up with a reason. I’m afraid it will take some time before they can make a decision. When Wang Juemei’s immortal Tianyuan pill has been obtained, he sent someone to send it to Tang Jie. Here comes. Because the pill was reserved for the main body, Tang Jie put it away first.
After three months of penance, apart from harvesting a batch of bean seeds, Tang Jie's biggest feeling is that it is not easy to practice at rank nine.
Different from Bailian, Bailian cultivates the muscles and bones, Nine Turns cultivates the internal organs, and the spiritual consciousness is cultivated in the enlightenment period.
The entire Transcendence Realm is actually the process for the cultivator to break away from the mortal body and cultivate into a spiritual body. It is also a process from the outside to the inside, from the tangible to the intangible.
Because of this, the complexity of Nine Revolutions far exceeds that of Bailian.
Hundred exercises are nothing more than grinding one's muscles and bones. This kind of thing can be done by ordinary people. It is precisely because of this that in the eyes of those high-end cultivators, before the ninth rank, it is actually just a process of accumulation, and breakthroughs can be completed by relying on accumulation. Occasionally, there are small thresholds such as shocks to escape, and the problem is not too big.
It's different when it comes to Rank Nine. What the cultivator needs to hone is the viscera. It needs to be nourished with spiritual energy every day, and then honed with secret methods. The cultivation process is not only complicated, profound, but also painful. The difficulty is a hundred times that of the past. Because it involves vital organs, a little carelessness may even injure oneself, and severe cases may even lead to madness and death. A considerable part of the cultivation medicine prepared by Tang Jie was used to treat injuries.
Because of this, the Ninth Transformation Period can be said to be a watershed for cultivators, and most of those wild cultivators will stop here. Without the guidance of a master, they may not be able to pass this test in their entire lives. But for practitioners who have sects and good teachers to guide them, this level is not a big problem, at best it just takes a long time.
As for the period of enlightenment, it is to directly enter the invisible level of spiritual consciousness, which is even more difficult.
This is the distinction between surface, interior and consciousness.
Tang Jie practiced Heart Turn every day. He had to first instil blood energy to impact himself, making the heart feel like a heavy blow, and then gather spiritual energy to form a spiritual wave, and use the fixed method to wash, temper the heart, wash away impurities, and spiritualize the heart veins.
During this repeated process, the heart will gradually lose its color and become crystal clear and transparent. This is the process of spiritualization.
When the heart is spiritualized to a certain level, it will even be as crystal clear as emerald, which is the peak of the heart transformation. If you continue to practice at this point, the color of the heart will return to normal. At this time, the heart transformation will be completed.
Dacheng's heart, seemingly ordinary but ordinary. No matter whether it is cut by knife or burned by fire, it will not be damaged easily, and it can heal even if it is injured. The pain will be greatly reduced, and it can even be healed even if it is cut in half. Even if the heart is completely dug out, as long as there is a little bit of heart meat left, it can grow back again. Of course, the specific degree depends on the overall nine-rank arrangement. Some are stronger than regeneration, some are stronger than defense, and some are stronger than offense. Each has its own strengths and naturally behaves differently.
At that time, Gu Changqing was able to succeed in every turn of his mind, so that he could survive a broken heart and survive a piercing of his head, which shows his strength.
It's just that no matter how tough he is, he can't live without his head. Rebirth without a head is a power above that of a real person, and not everyone can have it.
After three months of training in Tang Jie's training, the blood color of his heart was only slightly reduced, and it was a light flesh color, which was far from being crystal clear, let alone returning to its innocence. According to this progress, it may not be easy to achieve great success in the remaining nine months.
I thought that the remaining two years would allow me to reach at least the second rank, but now it seems that my thinking is still simple. I really don't understand how the record of the highest rank four came out.
The only way to solve this problem is to strengthen the training, so that the heart can bear a greater impact, a stronger spiritual wave, and at the same time, the risk is greater. Once the damage is too severe, the spiritual heart may cause permanent hidden injuries that cannot be healed.
Although Tang Jie has a body of jade and is not afraid of hidden injuries, the problem is that he has considered this part in his previous training, and strengthened the intensity of his training.
Tang Jie was worrying about this matter today, and suddenly saw Yiyi teaching Shi Jingzhai a lesson with something not far away: "I hate it to death, I have taught you many times, but I still don't understand, don't touch anything that isn't yours!"
Shi Jingzhai looked at Yiyi and laughed.
Tang Jie looked around, and saw that what Yiyi was holding in his hand turned out to be the key to unlock the ninth layer of Tianyi.
After Xie Fengtang gave it to him, he kept it in the box, and for some reason Shi Jingzhai took it out to play with.
Seeing the key, Tang Jie's heart skipped a beat.
That's right, the ninth floor of Tianyi may be able to solve the confusion in my heart.
He didn't dare to use the large amount of resources he had obtained before because he didn't have the map of the mountains and rivers, but the ninth floor of Tianyi was not in it. It's just that he has been busy practicing so much that he forgot the key.
At this moment, he took the key from Yiyi's hand, and went directly to Tianyi Pavilion.
This key is said to be a key, but it is actually a certificate. With this key, you can directly enter the ninth floor without being blocked. The time is three hours, but it is much longer than last time. The Xiaojian Code is also randomly selected.
Tang Jie entered the ninth floor after being inspected by the disciples guarding the pavilion, and directly took the purple jade heart method to watch.
But this time he didn't bring the formation map, but sat there obediently and observed the mental method.
The Purple Jade Heart Method is not a code of practice. To be precise, only a small part of it is about cultivation, and most of it is about experience. Its creator, Shuiyue Tianzun, traveled the world in his early years, learned a lot, comprehended the Dao, and penetrated destiny. It can be said that he is a generation of strange people. His purple jade mentality records his life-long cultivation. In fact, it is much more precious than the cultivation code, and it is applicable to At all levels, it is precisely because of this that there are so many borrowers.
Because Tianyi Pavilion serves students, the purple jade mind method stored in it is only a part of it, and most of it is relatively simple content. But because of this, Tang Jie found the cultivation knowledge he needed about Rank Nine without any problems, and he really found a solution to the problem.
The method is not difficult, Tang Jie quickly memorized it. See if there is enough time, then continue to look at other parts.
Looking at it this way, I feel that Ziyu's mentality is really miraculous and unparalleled, and many things that I didn't understand before are actually recorded in it, and the layers of reasoning are explained clearly, which makes Tang Jie feel suddenly enlightened again and again.
In the past eight years, Tang Jie has acquired quite a few secret techniques.
The Supreme Heart Sutra of Zhiyu Tianbao, Ghost Sutra, and Jiuli Heart Sutra are all rare books and magical methods, but Tang Jie dared not let them appear in the world all the time, so he could only ponder them by himself, and many problems have remained unresolved.
Looking at Ziyu's mental method until this moment, those difficult problems he hadn't solved were finally solved one by one at this moment, and the feeling of the whole person changed, as if something had been pierced by him, Tang Jie I just felt that my whole body and mind were sublimated accordingly.
Three hours passed in a flash.
Tang Jie reluctantly let go of his thoughts and walked out of Tianyi Pavilion.
Seeing Tang Jie coming out, the two guarding students froze for a moment at the same time, and then saluted together: "Senior brother has come out."
Tang Jie responded and left.
The two students guarding the pavilion looked at each other, and one of them said, "It's strange, why do I feel that the feeling of senior brother is different when he came out than when he went in?"
Another person said: "I feel the same way, but I can't say how it feels."
An indescribable feeling came to their hearts, the two looked at each other, they couldn't help shivering together, and dared not speak again.
At the same time, within the Nine Absolute Zhuxian Formation.
A big tree suddenly exploded, and a tall giant about five meters tall walked out of it. His bronze skin shone like a metal, and it was Tang Jie's body.
Every muscle in his body twitched, surging with majestic force, and he took a light step forward, causing even the ground to tremble. He seemed to be more than three meters tall, but weighed nearly a hundred tons , the power contained in the body is even more astonishing.
However, even with such great power, the realm of Noumenon is only in the Hundred Refinement Period, and it is far from the end.
At this moment, Tang Jie looked down at his body, and murmured: "So that's how it is... so the body has gone through hundreds of trainings and won't be defeated in a hundred battles... Vajra should be trained a hundred times!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at himself.
After these few fingers, Tang Jie's body suddenly burst into a turbulent wave of air, which shot straight into the sky.
Tang Jie himself cried out in pain.
The roaring sky thunder shook, and even the giant flame bird was alarmed by it, spread its wings and flew high, and spit out a raging flame towards the bottom.
It even rushed out of the valley barrier and took the initiative to attack Tang Jie.
Seeing this scene, Tang Jie's eyes flashed, and he didn't even dodge, his fists shook: "Roar!"
In the sound of exhaling, he had already stood up and let the flames attack him.
The flame from the giant bird was so fierce that even He Chong couldn't resist it. Even if the steel touched it, it would be melted. At this moment, it threw itself on Tang Jie's body, exploding a large piece of flame brilliance, accompanied by the blast of the flame stream, Tang Jie's whole body was almost charred.
Despite this, Tang Jie did not die. As the flames flowed past, Tang Jie's whole body was scorched black, and then pieces of skin dried up and fell off, revealing a face as firm as iron behind him.
He stared at the giant flaming bird, and laughed loudly: "The body of a diamond, the level of a hundred refinements... Hahahaha, I'm so stupid, I should have thought of it a long time ago, isn't the combination of the two the best?" Polish your own monk way."
Although he had entered the realm of the Vajra Body before, he had never tempered it. He didn't know his mistake until he met Wang Jue Mie. He fought with He Chong. Unfortunately, although he improved, it was not a reasonable way of cultivation after all.
It wasn't until today that I read Ziyu's Heart Method, which detailed the key points of each realm, that I realized that my understanding of cultivation is still not deep enough.
In fact, each stage of a cultivator has its own special meaning, such as the stage of hundreds of refinements, which strengthens the body through hundreds of refinements, but most of the cultivators do not cultivate their bodies, so they only use spiritual energy to nourish their bodies without tempering .
As a spellcaster, there is nothing wrong with doing this. Anyway, his physical fitness is limited, so even if he really works hard, he won't be able to achieve much.
But for body refiners, this seemingly least important stage has become the most important stage.
Only after hundreds of refinements can it be gold and steel!
This is called the real body of gold and steel.
If he hadn't learned something from reading Ziyu's mental method today, I am afraid that Tang Jie would not understand this truth until he broke through the hundred refinements and entered the ninth rank. Waiting to understand it later is a missed opportunity.
At this moment, the fire was spit out by the giant flame bird. Although Tang Jie was seriously injured, he only felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be on fire, and an unstoppable fighting desire surged from the depths of his body and mind.
With a loud howl, he punched the sky again, blasting a column of air towards the giant flaming bird.
In fact, with his current strength against the giant flame bird, there is absolutely no life or death. Even if he can block one flame spit, he will never be able to block ten hits, but Tang Jie will not retreat. He has an idea in his heart, Make him feel that facing is better than avoiding!
Especially after the giant bird rushed out of the valley for the first time and launched an unprecedented attack on Tang Jie, Tang Jie's thoughts became more intense.
At this moment, the fist is as powerful as a wave, directly attacking the fire bird.
The fire bird let out a long hiss, and spewed flames into the air again, which easily disintegrated Tang Jie's fist wind, and then another wave of fire came down, more powerful than before.
With a bang, Tang Jie flew up into the air with a wild cry.
The whole person turned into a piece of charcoal in an instant, but it split apart in flight, revealing the metallic skin behind it, as if reborn from the ashes.
In the burning flames, Tang Jie only felt that his strength was constantly increasing and exploding. He screamed loudly and threw more than ten punches at the giant flame bird.
These more than ten punches hit the mountain rock, shaking the mountain peak, and the boulder collapsed. The momentum was extremely majestic, but the giant flaming bird just shook it lightly, and once again dissolved all the attack waves in the flames.
Then it sprayed again, but this time a fireball flew out of its mouth.
Although it seems that the power is not obvious, the vigilance in Tang Jie's heart is raised to the peak in an instant. At that moment, he mobilized all his powers, his body glowed with golden light and blood, and the formless golden body and blood alchemy were activated at the same time.
"Hit me!" Tang Jie shouted madly.
The little fireball had crashed onto Tang Jie, and brought Tang Jie straight to the distant mountain peak. With a bang, the mountain collapsed, and a large piece of flame burst out from the top of the peak, shooting countless fireball-like brilliance towards the mountain. It was shot in all directions, and when it landed on the ground, it immediately ignited a sky-high flame, and the entire area turned into a sea of flames in a blink of an eye.
The giant flaming bird hissed, and the next moment, the flames turned into streams of flames and flew towards the giant bird, disappearing in an instant, leaving only smoke from cooking in the jungle, indicating that there had just been an unsustainable fire here. to two seconds of mega-fire.
The burning body drew a streak of fire in the sky, and fell heavily on the ground like a meteorite, causing an earthquake aftermath again.
"Cough, cough!" Tang Jie coughed loudly and struggled to get up from the ground, shaking off the ashes all over his body.
Only this time, Tang Jie was no longer as relaxed as before.
Every pore of his body was oozing blood, dyeing him red, sparks were beating everywhere on his body, like a bone-eating flame, lingering.
The scorched skin had just peeled off before it had time to regenerate, and under the action of the attached flames, a large area of scorched and densely covered the whole body, repeatedly repeated as if it would not stop, plunged Tang Jie into severe pain.
"Ah!" He hissed in pain and rolled desperately on the ground. Wherever he went, even the soil was crystallized, which shows the terrifying power of this flame.
However, even so, Tang Jie still did not die, but repeatedly hit the stick. The powerful vitality of the Vajra Body gave him a terrifying ability to regenerate, especially at this moment when the accumulated strength exploded, making his vitality unprecedentedly strong , unexpectedly withstood this terrifying flame.
The giant bird in the sky did not attack again, but just looked at it coldly.
The flame was still burning, and finally gradually died down.
Tang Jie lay on the ground panting heavily.
When the flames were extinguished, his body immediately began to recover at an astonishing speed, and he was healed soon, but the hair that had just been burned off, the eyebrows did not grow so fast, and the whole person was bald at this moment .
The most astonishing thing was that he had shrunk to just over four meters from his five-meter-high height just now.
Tang Jie didn't take it seriously, looked at himself, and murmured: "It used to be puffy, but now it's called strong."
That being said, he himself knew that the round of confrontation just now had consumed too much of his strength, and now he might not be able to afford the Firebird to give it a light touch.
The giant flaming bird suddenly turned its head and spit out a mouthful of flames towards the other side. The next moment He Chong's figure appeared, shooting into the distance like an electric flame, and at the same time, it brought up a wisp of black smoke and a mournful howl.
Then it turned its head to look at Tang Jie, turned around and flew towards the valley.
But Tang Jie laughed: "Let me just say, since the fairy grass is kept, why do you still use a fire bird to guard it. If it is a test, it shouldn't be the test that the fifth level should have. After all, it is something that even He Chong can't beat, and it was originally used to temper the body of the vajra."
The military master only fights to rule the roost in his life, and fighting spirit is the most important thing. Naturally, the heir he chooses also has great courage.
For this reason, he arranged the giant flame bird in this fifth level, which is not only a training for the body of King Kong, but also a test of fighting spirit. Only those who are aggressive by nature will try to challenge this giant flame bird and resist Its burning flames.
If Tang Jie hadn't comprehended Ziyu's mental method and understood the connection between Bailian and the body of steel, he would not have realized this key point, let alone call out the giant bird.
At this time, Tang Jie had roughly understood that the giant flame bird had two tasks, one was to protect the valley, and the other was to help the heir to forge his body. When it protects the valley, its mission is to kill the target; when it forges the opponent's body, it has limited attacks, the two are completely incomparable.
At this moment, after the giant flame bird flew above the valley, it flew around the valley, and then looked back at Tang Jie.
Tang Jie's heart moved, and he tried to walk over and step into the warning line of the valley.
Sure enough, the mountain bird didn't jump down to kill him.
Tang Jie tried to walk forward a few more steps, and came to a thousand-year-old demonized white lotus. He reached out and grabbed the root of the white lotus. On the arm, some sparks jumped out, but they didn't hurt him at all.
Tang Jie has pulled up the white lotus.
As soon as the white lotus left the water, the lotus leaves immediately rolled upside down, and the small person inside lay down in the lotus leaves, gradually condensing into a human-shaped lotus heart, and the upturned lotus leaves wrapped the human-shaped lotus heart.
This human-shaped lotus heart is the essence of the demonized white lotus, and the lotus leaves outside are the only utensils to preserve this thing. Once opened, it must be used within seven days.
Carefully putting away the white lotus, Tang Jie looked at the other white lotuses, and then at the fire bird in the sky.
The fire bird raised its head to the sky and let out a long hiss, and spit out a mouthful of flames at Tang Jie, but the flames passed over Tang Jie's head.
Tang Jie knew this was a warning.
"It seems that I have passed a test, so I can take one tree. It turns out that this is the way to get medicine. I don't know what to do next time." This first test made him survive from death. The flame giant bird looked so vulnerable under the fireball. However, just because of this, it shows that his future space for advancement is still extremely vast, how can it not make people feel hopeful. Because of this, he smiled back without fear: "The boy was ignorant before, so please forgive me for disturbing you. When you succeed in cultivation again, I will definitely come to ask for advice again!"
While saying that Tang Jie had already exited the valley, this was the first time he exited openly without worrying about the firebird chasing him.
Seeing Tang Jie leave, the giant flame bird in the sky hissed and flew into the flame lake and disappeared.
