Chapter 43: Condensing the Roots of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 43: Condensing the Roots of Heaven and Earth

The more Li Fan read the descriptions of the Immortal Dao in the Five Inspirational Qi Laws, the creepier he felt.

It was relatively normal before the Jindan Stage, absorbing the spirit of heaven and earth, assuming the wonders of heaven and earth, and peeking into the methods of heaven and earth.

After reaching the YuanYing stage, the painting style gradually became maniacal.

Taking the essence of heaven and earth, drawing the marrow of heaven and earth, sacrificing the spirit of heaven and earth ……

and even the final one of going against the reasoning of heaven and earth.

Just reading these words and phrases would cause one’s heart to pound.

The Heavenly Dao was high above, giving birth to all things.

For Immortal cultivators to cultivate in such a manner was tantamount to turning against Heaven and committing treason.

What does this represent, don’t the Immortal cultivators know?

Nay, this kind of cultivation progresses too quickly.

It was recorded in the book that since the Immortal Father had preached, a large number of mortals who were originally unable to cultivate had risen to prominence in just a few decades.

Cultivators with the cultivation levels of Jindan, Yuanyin, and Transformation of God sprang up one after another.

The prosperity of the Immortal Cultivation world at that time was really Jin Dan everywhere, and YuanYing was inferior to a dog.

The cultivators who had originally adhered to the ancient method of Immortal Cultivation watched as their cultivation levels were easily surpassed by mere mortals, so how many of them were still able to hold on to their own selves and not try the Immortal Dignity method?

Thus, the ancient method of cultivation declined day by day; the new method gradually replaced it.

A thousand years after the popularization of the new method, the prosperity of the Immortal Cultivation world also reached its peak.

Unfortunately, heaven’s law is clear, and prosperity will decline.

Countless cultivators greedily plundered the resources of heaven and earth like wolves and tigers without restraint.

Even the increasingly frequent heavenly tribulations were unable to suppress the increasing number of cultivators.

And so, finally, one day, the Heavenly Dao’s counterattack descended.

The heavens and earth changed drastically, and the Great Tribulation descended.

Since then, Immortals and Dharma could not be practiced together!
The flourishing Immortal Cultivation World was hit with a blow.

Cultivators were plunged into endless killing each other for a chance of survival.

For a long time, the Immortal Cultivation World was in a state of decline.

It took thousands of years before it slowly eased up.

Today’s cultivators had already gotten used to the malice of heaven and earth.

They summarized the lessons learned and established a brand new cultivation order in the wasteland of cultivation after the Great Tribulation.

……

After the introduction of the origins of today’s Immortal Cultivation world, the content of the book is the method of “Five Spirit Inspirations of Qi”.

If a mortal who has eliminated miasma can’t easily draw qi into his body, he can nourish his own five spirits, forcibly absorb the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, and then refine it to break through to the qi refining stage.

The so-called five spirits refer to the five emotions that people are born with.

Greed, Fear, Rage, Hatred, and Only Me.

These five emotions are hidden in the human heart, and they are inexhaustible and unending.

The Five Spirits of Inspiration are used as fuel to cultivate the [Roots of Heaven and Earth] in the dantian.

The Root of Heaven and Earth connects the cultivator’s Dantian with Heaven and Earth, and once formed, the cultivator can use it to absorb the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth and turn it into his own.

Compared to the ancient method of cultivating immortality, which all depends on qualifications, the method of the Five Spirits of Spiritual Qi emphasizes stability.

Those with excellent qualifications can cultivate the root of heaven and earth in one day and one night, and embark on the path of immortal cultivation.

Even if a person has no qualifications to cultivate Immortality, he or she can still form his or her own Heaven and Earth root within ten years at the most by practicing day after day.

Having mastered the method of drawing qi into the body, since then, Li Fan had been living in deep simplicity every day, practicing this Five Inspiration Qi Method at home.

Rather, he was already mentally prepared that his path to immortal cultivation might not be so smooth.

But just like this, day after day, three years had passed, and Li Fan still had not succeeded in inducing qi.

Li Fan was very clear about his cultivation talent, middle man’s capital, not a genius, but definitely not bad either.

Now this situation, there is really another reason.

“The Xuan Huang Refining Heart Mantra …… is really a misfortune.” Li Fan was somewhat helpless in his heart. This Five Spiritual Qi needed to use the five emotions as fuel to push the Root of Heaven and Earth to take shape.

However, Li Fan practiced the Xuan Huang Refining Heart Mantra, and these five emotions had accumulated very little.

Even if he did not deliberately run the Heart Refining Mantra, it was as if he was instinctively stirring up these negative emotions in his mind spontaneously.

It was equivalent to walking with a heavy load, which led to Li Fan’s progress being extremely slow.

Li Fan had also tried not using the Root of Heaven and Earth to draw qi into his body on his own.

But he clearly did not have the kind of talent that Xiao Heng had.

The aura outside his body was completely indifferent to him.

Without the guidance of others, if he relied on himself to feel his way around, Li Fan was really unsure of how long it would take for him to draw qi into his body.

Therefore, Li Fan decided to honestly use the Five Spirit Qi Method to break through to the Qi Refining Stage.

Slow is a bit slow, but it is stable.

The last thing Li Fan lacked was time.

At the beginning of the three years, He Zhenghao had also occasionally sent people to inquire about Li Fan’s cultivation.

However, after Li Fan did not make any progress for a long time, he did not send people much anymore.

On the side of Tian Bao Lou, because of Li Fan and Xiao Heng, although there was no more Wan Hua Chamber of Commerce as the backstage, the business situation in the neighboring islands had instead become better.

No one wanted to offend a merchant house that might have the background of an Immortal Master, and avoided conflict with Ten Thousand Treasures House as much as possible.

As a result, Wan Bao Lou opened up the market in a big way during the three years, and it was a thriving trend.

Yin Yu Zhen was even more confident, rubbing her fists and trying to go back to Night Rend Island to take back control of the headquarters of Tian Bao Lou.

……

As for the outside world, Li Fan is only occasionally concerned.

The vast majority of his energy was focused on cultivating the Root of Heaven and Earth.

Unfortunately, it was also true that this matter could not be rushed.

Li Fan predicted that if there were no accidents, he would need about two more years to succeed.

Having been bored at home for a very long time, on this day, Li Fan was quiet and wanted to go out for a walk.

Without alerting anyone, he changed his clothes, put on a felt hat, and came to the workshop market on Liuli Island.

Compared to three years ago, there didn’t seem to be any changes here.

The sounds of bargaining, yelling and soliciting customers, and playfulness were all over the place.

Here, Li Fan felt the long-lost “human flavor”.

All kinds of thoughts in his mind emerged like dried up saplings being moisturized.

In just this moment, the progress of the Root of Heaven and Earth was more than the three days he had spent at home practicing hard behind closed doors.

Li Fan came to a sudden realization.

For the average cultivator, closed-door, meditative and agonizing cultivation was a necessity because regular people were not at all lacking in the five spirits that served as fuel.

However, Li Fan’s situation was special, and with the Refining Heart Mantra running in his mind at all times, these distractions were turned into nutrients that strengthened his own spirit.

And this five spirit qi method is obviously not as advanced as the Xuanhuang Refining Heart Mantra, can’t snatch much, can only pick up some leakage.

Li Fan currently can not change this status quo, want to speed up the molding speed of the root of heaven and earth, you need to increase the daily birth of distracting thoughts in his brain.

Daily seclusion is obviously not possible, but also need to enter the world.

Having figured this out, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a little elated.

It seemed that perhaps it would not take two years for him to step into the Qi Refining Stage.

……

“Elder Li?” Just then, a somewhat familiar voice came from behind him.

Li Fan turned his head and saw the other party’s appearance, and after a moment’s pause, he remembered who it was.

It was clearly the captain of the Liuli Island Cang Yuan ship, Zhang Haobo, who had once had a meeting.
