Two Realms: Modern Invasion of Cultivation

"Boy, come to the Tongtian Well tomorrow, and I will give you something that can help you obtain the Longyang Sword..."

ear.

The sound of the drug ions gradually faded away.

The image on the psychic device had been cut off, and all that could be seen were forests covering the mountains and plains.

The bright moon and the dazzling starry sky remain unchanged tonight.

Song Yu sat upright atop the nameless mountain, bathed in the evening breeze, absorbing the moonlight and the energy of the mountain forest, cultivating the true qi within his body, recalling the many pieces of information Miao He had shared during the day, his thoughts constantly flowing.

Are drug ions good or bad?

unimportant.

Is Miaohe truly without any guile?

It doesn't matter.

The current situation is that if he wants to escape, the only way is to help Yao Lizi obtain the Longyang Sword.

Why the Dragon Yang Sword in particular?

The goal is so clear.

It's likely that Yao Lizi wasn't completely ignorant of this little world; his initial goal was to fish for the Dragon Yang Sword.

Also.

Yao Lizi was not at all surprised by his existence.

Every year, a devastating storm rages within this small world, wiping out all living beings with each attack.

Therefore, theoretically, there are no living beings in this small world.

But he is alive and well in this small world. Given his special circumstances, why is Yao Lizi not surprised?

in fact.

Miaohe had already said that during the day.

The Small World is a part of the world after the collapse of the cultivation world. It contains cave dwellings built by cultivators in the former cultivation world, or other hidden places.

It wasn't difficult for those cultivators' caves and other secluded places to escape the ravages of the disaster winds.

The calamity only affects living beings.

Before him, other small worlds had seen living people before, though few, but not impossible.

In some small worlds, mortals can survive and escape disasters by relying on the caves of cultivators and those hidden places.

In some of these small worlds, cultivators from a thousand years ago even survived the collapse of the cultivation world, awoke unharmed, and walked out intact.

he thinks.

In the eyes of the drug ion, he is most likely to exist in the same way.

This can be considered a form of identity.

A cultivator who emerges from a cultivator's cave or a secluded place...

Song Yu shook his head slightly, no longer thinking about these things.

Let's see tomorrow.

He looked up at the faint ring formed by the opening of the Tongtian Well hanging high in the night sky, and then began to ponder the cultivation that Miaohe had mentioned.

"Awakening the Spirit" is the first step on the path of cultivating immortality.

The so-called spirit refers to the spiritual sea.

To cultivate immortality, one must first open up the spiritual sea.

To open up one's spiritual sea, one must have "spirituality".

In his view.

The so-called spirituality is similar to "spiritual charm".

However, due to the backlash from the Great Dao, mortals are almost unable to develop spirituality.

Even if one is fortunate enough to develop spirituality and open up the spiritual sea...

It's not easy either...

Because of the "calamity".

"Disaster Wind" is one of the backlashes of the Great Dao generated after the collapse of the cultivation world. It is gathered in the Tongtian Well and erupts once a year, ravaging the small world.

"Calamity" is the second backlash from the Great Dao.

Whether it's Spirit Awakening, Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, Golden Core...

Every breakthrough in a new realm is inevitably accompanied by calamity; no one is exempt.

When calamity strikes, opening the spiritual sea is tantamount to courting death; cultivating immortality is tantamount to courting death.

Even if they survive, their next breakthrough will face even greater calamity and erosion, and they will still die.

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer cultivators nowadays.

"Cloud Qi Soaring to the Sky Method" is the spiritual opening method of the Cloud Soaring Sect, which can open up a high-grade spiritual sea.

In the past, countless people would have wanted this method.

Now, however, not many people dare to use it, or can use it.

This method was passed down to him by Miaohe, and the way the method was transmitted was very simple.

He took out a jade slip containing the Dharma teachings and showed it to him.

The secrets of the law must not be passed on to six ears.

The methods of cultivation and inheritance in the world of immortal cultivation are very mysterious.

If we say that the essence of science is "mathematics".

Therefore, the essence of cultivating immortality is "literature".

Mathematics is something you either don't understand or you can't learn.

Literature, too, depends on talent; the talent for reading comprehension depends on "insight."

The medium of mathematics is numerical symbols.

The medium of literature is written words.

Therefore, the cultivation methods in the world of immortal cultivation are all contained in written texts.

The words themselves are merely a vehicle; it is through this vehicle that one can comprehend the cultivation methods contained within them.

It's very mysterious.

Why not be more direct and clearly explain how to cultivate?

Because it's hard to write clearly, or rather, the text itself already clearly explains how to cultivate, but it's just that people can't understand it.

Just like mathematics.

The numerical symbols for making nuclear bombs are right there, clearly written, but I just can't understand them.

The existence of "spirituality" allows one to overcome the obstacle of "not understanding" and directly comprehend it.

Thus, the transmission of cultivation methods has resulted in a metaphysical approach that is "only to be understood intuitively, not to be explained in words."

Spirituality and spiritual energy are similar.

Song Yu possesses spiritual charm, and this spiritual charm has already reached a high level.

Perhaps he was also quite perceptive; in any case, after watching Miaohe demonstrate the "Soaring Clouds Technique" only once, he learned the technique.

The term "cloudy air" refers to the mist or haze of clouds and rosy clouds.

The glowing light produced when sunlight penetrates through clouds and mist.

By harnessing the energy of the rosy dawn, his spirituality can break through its shackles and open up a sea of ​​consciousness.

So, want to give it a try?

Song Yu looked up at the night sky, which was cloudless and devoid of any rosy glow.

It can't be tried.

But does it have to be the glow of the sunset?

Would the essence of the moon work?

He tried it, then shook his head slightly.

No.

It has to be the glow of dawn; we can only try again during the day.

Try the glow of dawn and the glow of dusk.

"If possible, what would we do in the event of a calamity?"

Song Yu frowned slightly.

Miao He's calamity during her cultivation was resolved with the help of Yao Lizi.

If he wants to try, he has to figure it out himself.

A quick calculation revealed that there was no danger.

"Why is there no danger?"

"Will this calamity befall me?"

Why not?

"Because I'm not from this world?"

"Shall we try it tomorrow?"

"If there's danger, there's still the Taiyi protective talisman..."

He pondered for a moment, glancing at the current turning point.

There are only four.

The second upgrade will require ten conversion points and will take two more days.

The good news is that with a synchronization rate of 4%, the Taiyi Amulet and the Three-Legged Cauldron of the State can be bound together.

"Calamity..."

Song Yu muttered to himself, slowly closed his eyes, and completely immersed himself in cultivation, forgetting everything around him.

Lingfeng thoughtfully drove away the voices of the three evil spirits, protecting him and never abandoning him.

In the blink of an eye.

time flies.

On the horizon, a ray of dawn tore through the night.

Open your eyes.

Song Yu opened his mouth and swallowed a wisp of purple energy, which was also the energy of rosy clouds.

Subconsciously, he tried the "Soaring Clouds Technique".

It was natural and without any hindrance.

The spiritual sea opened wide.

Catastrophe...

I didn't feel it; it was as if it didn't exist at all.

"There's only one difference."

"I am not from this world, therefore, the calamity is only aimed at the people of this world."

"What about the disaster wind?"

"No, the Disaster Wind won't work; it targets all living beings, regardless of whether they are from this world or not."

He did some calculations with his fingers, opened the "scripture" and pondered it for a while, and then he understood.

This is a good thing.

At least, he doesn't have to worry about calamities occurring during his cultivation in this world.

He let out a sigh of relief.

He began to comprehend the spiritual sea that had been opened up.

The location of the spiritual sea is outside the sea of ​​consciousness; he can sense that his sea of ​​consciousness is floating within the spiritual sea.

Spiritual energy was constantly being generated within his spiritual sea, washing over and nourishing his consciousness and body.

My mind and spirit are stirred.

He condensed a trace of spiritual power from the spiritual energy generated in his spiritual sea.

With spiritual power, one can cast spells, officially opening the door to cultivation and embarking on the path of immortality.

This is different from the spiritual energy generated by the dantian (energy center) in the body, the true qi, and the bodhi seed bracelet worn on the wrist.

The spiritual energy within the spiritual sea can be condensed into spiritual power, but the spiritual energy on a Bodhi seed bracelet cannot.

The dantian is the abode of true qi.

True Qi generates magical power.

What is the difference between magical power and spiritual power?

He calmed himself down, pondering the difference between the two forces, and seemed to have something on his mind.

Magic is the medium through gestures, spells, talismans, rituals, and so on, to communicate with and mobilize the power of heaven and earth and all things.

Spiritual power is more direct and purer; it is the manifestation of all one's own power.

Just like now.

With a wave of his hand, he directly used his spiritual power to control the flying sword transformed from the drone flying sword toy.

Whoosh!

The flying sword was very fast, circling around him like a streak of light.

It is more aggressive and faster than spiritual manipulation.

With the aid of spiritual control, the flying sword becomes more agile and easier to control.

Unfortunately, there was too little spiritual energy.

It was completely consumed after just a little manipulation.

compare to.

Magical power cannot be controlled so directly; one needs to first perform a hand seal and then use incantations to assist in control.

Just like now.

He casually made a hand seal and said, "Approach!"

The flying sword hovered in the air.

"Soldiers!"

The flying sword hummed, and a stream of light appeared on its surface.

"fight!"

Whoosh!

The flying sword pierced through the air, cleaving a nearby rock in two without leaving it undamaged.

Without the "one", the magic power is gone.

"Lin Bing Dou Zhe Jie Zhen Lie Qian Xing" is a nine-character mantra used in both Taoism and Buddhism, which includes accompanying hand gestures and incantations.

The key lies in "universality".

The term "universal" means that this nine-character mantra is very basic and applicable to all situations and environments.

It can be used to enhance oneself, giving oneself nine "buffs" at once, or it can be used to manipulate external objects.

Just like when I was controlling the flying sword.

It's very basic, very practical, and very intuitive.

This is the difference between spiritual power and magical power; in summary, each has its advantages and disadvantages.

It seems so.

Spiritual power is undoubtedly very suitable for cultivating immortality.

The magic is closer to reality.

After understanding the two forces.

Song Yu stretched and got up to practice Tai Chi, continuing to absorb the energy of the mountains and forests to strengthen his true Qi and refine his magical power.

While absorbing the energy of the clouds, he strengthened his spiritual sea and condensed his spiritual power.

It was 10 a.m.

Conversion point +5.

The extra bit means his synchronization rate has reached 5%, meaning he has one more slot available for binding conversion items.

The reason is that the synchronization rate increased by 1% after he opened up his spiritual sea.

Cultivating in this other world and improving one's cultivation level here can increase the synchronization rate with the other world.

The dantian and true qi belong to the original world. I don't know if it will increase the synchronization rate with this world. I'll have to go back to find out.

but.

The synchronization rate of this world is 100%, which is the maximum and cannot be increased further.

My thoughts drifted away.

After finishing his Tai Chi, he glanced at the sky, felt the restored magical and spiritual power within his body, and took out his spirit communication device.

There was still no movement from the other side.

There's no rush.

He quietly ate the food and fruit he had brought, and waited.

It was suppressed in its later stages.

My body is healthier, my appetite is better, and I eat more.

pretty good.

Being able to eat and have enough to eat and drink is the greatest happiness in his life.

He suddenly thought of Meng Hui and Bai Moli, and shook his head.

Those two women were not happiness, but devils.

finished eating.

The psychic device was activated, and the image appeared.

"Oh, good morning."

In the scene, Miaohe, dressed in a purple dress, sits energetically on the edge of a building, eating a piece of fruit and asking curiously, "What are you doing?"

Song Yu calmly replied, "I just finished lunch."

Miaohe blinked and said, "Oh, I just woke up. I've been sleeping longer and longer lately. My master said that if this continues, I'll eventually fall asleep and never wake up again."

Song Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Are you not feeling well?"

Miaohe said with a grin, "Well, Master said that my body has defects after being reborn and needs to be repaired, but it seems that there is no way to repair them."

"Huh, you, you've awakened your spirit?"

The girl suddenly exclaimed.

Song Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I tried it."

Miaohe thought for a moment and said strangely, "You've awakened your spiritual power in less than a day. Your talent is amazing, but that's not right. The better your talent, the heavier the calamity, and the less likely you are to survive."

"You're still alive."

"Hmm..."

"It seems Master was right. You must have been a great figure in the cultivation world, possessing a way to avoid calamities, right?"

Wow, you're amazing!

"My master even shortened his lifespan to protect me from calamities."

"How did you do that?"

The girl had a lot to say and a lot of questions.

Perhaps it's because there are too few people in the Cloud Soaring Sect, and no one is speaking up; they've been holding it in for too long.

Perhaps it's because I'm sleeping longer and longer, and I want to talk more while I'm awake.

Looking at the girl in the picture who seemed to always be curious and cheerful about everything, Song Yu felt the purity in the girl and couldn't help but smile and say, "My situation is a bit special. Only I can do it. Others can't do it, and I can't help others."

Miaohe said regretfully, "What a pity. If I could be like you, I could have reached the Foundation Establishment stage."

"I dare not establish my foundation now, I'll die."

"Master's lifespan is also running out."

"Oh dear, I don't know what to do in the future, what if Master is no longer here..."

The girl put down the fruit in her hand, lay down, and muttered to herself, tears streaming down her face.

"Huh, why am I crying? That's strange."

The girl belatedly wiped away her tears, her expression showing no sign of sadness.

"It will be alright."

Song Yu comforted her, then thought for a moment, raised her hand to summon the sunflowers, and played a light and cheerful song.

The sunflower's twisting body is mesmerizing.

"Wow, so cute."

Miaohe's eyes lit up as she asked, "What is that? The voice is so beautiful, is it singing a song?"

Song Yu looked up at the rising sun and said softly, "This is a sunflower, always facing the sun, striving to grow."

"If you like it, I can give it to you."

Upon hearing this...

Miaohe said happily, "Really? I like it! I like it so much! Thank you, senior."

"I'll give you something delicious when you come up, senior."

"I've collected a lot of Cloud Dream Fruits, they're so delicious, I'm sure you'll like them, Senior."

Song Yu agreed and made a promise with the girl.

then.

In the video, the drug ions arrive.

"Young friend, you look quite well."

The old man, with his white hair and kind smile, said, "Not bad, you've awakened your spiritual power. It seems you are no ordinary mortal."

Song Yu stood up and said, "Senior, there's no need to be so polite."

Yao Lizi chuckled and said, "Alright, let's get down to business then."

In conversation.

In the scene, the old man and the young girl gracefully landed on the square, next to the well, in front of the willow tree.

No disturbance.

Miaohe continued eating the fruit in her hand, then casually summoned a reclining chair, where she comfortably lay down and watched with wide-eyed curiosity.

"Young friend."

Yao Lizi raised his hand, revealing a palm-sized mirror. He smiled and said, "This is the Dragon Scale Mirror, a treasure crafted from a dragon's reverse scale."

"The dragon's reverse scale, touch it and you die."

"That Netherworld Ghost King was once very strong, but now that he has been sealed and suppressed by the Dragon Yang Sword for a hundred years, his strength must be less than one-tenth of what it used to be."

"With this Dragon Scale Mirror here, if you take the sword, the Ghost King will surely activate the mirror to protect you if he dares to harm you."

"I will send this down. You can take this and go get the Longyang Sword."

"This item is absolutely fine; you can rest assured."

"I swear on my Dao heart that if this thing fails to protect you, or if I harm you, may I be immediately struck by calamity and my soul be scattered."

"how?"

"Young friend, would you trust me this once?"

The old man's eyes were full of expectation, and he looked older than he was, with less energy and spirit.

Song Yu paused for a moment, then simply said, "Senior, please bring it down first."

Yao Lizi smiled and nodded, then raised his hand to summon a willow branch, wrapped it around the precious mirror, and then sent it into the Tongtian Well.

See here.

Song Yu's body was filled with spiritual energy, and he formed the mantra "行" with his hands. He summoned the wind of heaven and earth with the spiritual wind accompanying him, and his figure immediately soared into the sky.

When he returned to the wellhead high in the sky...

The willow branch, wrapped around the precious mirror, awaits.

Upon his arrival.

The willow branch loosened, the precious mirror paused, and then it was enveloped and lifted by the spiritual wind, bringing it to his front.

With a single finger gesture, the Celestial Master's divine will opened; with a single insight into the scriptures...

no problem.

The magic mirror is not dangerous.

Despite this, he remained vigilant, looking at the image displayed on the psychic device, and slowly asked, "How am I supposed to get up there?"

Yao Lizi sat cross-legged and smiled, "Once you retrieve the Longyang Sword, I will use willow branches to pull you up."

The month before the calamity winds erupt in the small world is the calmest time for the calamity winds in the Tongtian Well, and it is also the best time for fishing.

After this period, we'll have to wait another year.

Therefore, the current opportunity is the only one to leave.

We can only take it one step at a time and see how things go.

Looking at the precious mirror before him, Song Yu finally raised his hand and caught it.

Life is impossible without taking any risks.

Moreover, he can return to this world at any time if there is danger.

The most important thing now is to leave this little world. As long as we can leave, everything else is negotiable.

Think it through.

He simply turned around, rode the wind, and headed towards the location of the Dragon Yang Sword.

Netherworld Ghost King...

I hope everything goes well this time...
