Chapter 24 Major Cultivation Systems When Eunuch Hai led Zhao Duan through the courtyard and the house and entered the second atrium. He then realized that this building complex had not just one entrance, but many houses connected front to back. "I only have a vague understanding of cultivation," Zhao Duan followed closely and said: "How about you first tell me a little bit about the royal inheritance." Eunuch Hai smiled and said: "You are quite direct, little guy. But to explain this clearly, I have to first explain the similarities and differences between the two most common cultivation paths in the world: sorcerers and warriors. What do you know about this?" Zhao Duan said ashamedly: "I have only barely entered the 'mortal' warrior realm. I know that the mortal realm is the entry level realm of warrior inheritance, which is divided into three levels: low, middle and high. As for the sorcerer, I am completely unfamiliar with it." "..." Eunuch Hai sighed: "You're not being modest when you say you only know a little bit." Zhao Duan smiled awkwardly. "Haha, it's not your fault. It's really hard for people in the secular world to know these things," said Eunuch Hai. "The Mortal Realm is indeed the beginning of the Martial Realm. As for the Warlock System, it is divided in the same way as the Martial Realm, with a total of five realms."
Two systems share the same set of classification criteria? Zhao Duan asked curiously: "So both warriors and sorcerers have five realms? What are they?" Ocean Road: "Mortal body, divine chapter, the world, heavenly being, immortal... As for warriors below the level of mortals, they can only be said to be proficient in martial arts, but they are not considered to be of high rank. As for sorcerers, they are mortals from the beginning, so there is no question of whether they can be considered to be of high rank. " "The martial arts tradition emphasizes breathing in and out a breath of Yang Qi, nurturing it in the Dantian, and refining it into 'Qi Qi'. Then, the body is polished, supplemented by medicinal baths, pills, and Qi Qi, breaking through bottlenecks and advancing through the levels... The main theme is a simple and unpretentious, meticulous approach, and therefore, it is also the mainstream among practitioners. " It’s a universal method, but it requires krypton gold to upgrade, which is very expensive... Zhao Duan concluded silently. Eunuch Hai smiled and said: "There are far fewer sorcerers. They focus on using visualization to control the gods." "Drive the gods?" Zhao Duan was stunned. Eunuch Hai nodded and said: "Between heaven and earth, there are many gods. Gods are formed from the thoughts of the people. They are not living beings, nor do they have wisdom. They are more like 'concepts'. Mortals cannot see them. They wander between heaven and earth, and have thousands of magic skills... The so-called sorcerer is a person with extremely strong inspiration. He uses secret techniques to communicate with the gods and obtain techniques. When he practices to a high level, he can drive the gods he worships to do extraordinary things. " Zhao Duan was dazed and said: "A few days ago, I saw the statue of the god shattered in the temple in the southern suburbs..." Eunuch Hai nodded: "Yes, that is a typical method used by sorcerers. They use secret methods to summon the 'Earth God' to descend from the statue and drive it to act... Haha, as you said, saving people thousands of miles away... This should be something that only sorcerers in the 'worldly' realm can do." Zhao Duan asked curiously: "So, the earth gods worshipped by the common people really exist?" Eunuch Hai nodded: "Of course, but there is no so-called heaven and hell made up by mortals. Well, you can understand the earth god as a special kind of 'ghost' wandering in the human world, and the sorcerer is a Taoist priest who exorcises ghosts..."
If you had said that earlier, I would have understood... Zhao Duan asked curiously: "Then how many gods like the Earth God can be controlled?" Eunuch Hai smiled and said: "There are so many. Let's count them... the five main gods of earth, rain, fire, wind and thunder, the Great Mother Goddess, Medicine Buddha, Samsara Buddha, the zodiac gods, the four seasons gods... agriculture, travel, happiness, wealth, heaven, the Buddha... the Laba Festival of death and plague... if we add all the strange and bizarre minor gods, there are hundreds of them." Zhao Duan was shocked: "So many?" Eunuch Hai nodded: “Such as the Southern Border, the Western Regions, the Thousand Islands of the East China Sea, the Mubei Forest Sea… There are more gods in remote places outside the territory of Dayu, but they are too far away from you, so you don’t need to know. You just need to know that my Great Yu Dynasty has unified the world, and there are countless righteous gods that can be commanded in the Tianshi Mansion, and the Shenlong Temple is no less powerful. These two major forces are also the places that have mastered the most skills in commanding gods." "True God?" Zhao Duan keenly noticed the point: "So gods can be divided into good and evil?" Eunuch Hai praised: "That's natural. Most gods are harmless, and sorcerers can only borrow their power when communicating with them. But there are a few special gods. After long-term contact with sorcerers, their personalities will be affected and they may become violent, evil, cruel, or crazy. This kind of people are the evil gods that our Great Yu Dynasty suppresses, and their supporters are the evil sorcerers. " After a pause, Eunuch Hai reminded: "If you encounter an evil sorcerer in the future, be careful and do not treat him as a human being. Such people have committed many evil deeds and anyone can kill them." Zhao Duan said seriously: "Kid, remember this." Seeing his seriousness, Eunuch Hai couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't be nervous. Evil sorcerers are elusive and few in number, so it's not easy to encounter them." Zhao Duan breathed a sigh of relief: "Please continue." Ocean Road: "The inheritance of a sorcerer can be to command multiple gods or just one. The strength of the sorcerer's realm depends on the strength of the god and the depth of communication... "There are two most powerful sorcerers in the world today. They are both in the capital. You must know them. They are Zhang Yanyi, the old Heavenly Master of this generation of Heavenly Master Mansion, and Master Xuanyin, the first abbot of Shenlong Temple." It’s them... Zhao Duan was familiar with these two names, the empress had mentioned them before. He asked curiously, "What realm are these two in? Are they human immortals?" Eunuch Hai shook his head and said: "Among the five realms, the human immortal only exists in legends. Throughout history, there have been only a handful of people who have reached the human immortal realm, and all of them are doubtful. The strongest cultivators today are only in the 'Heavenly Realm', a total of four people, also known as the 'Four Heavenly Beings'." Four celestial beings... two sorcerers... Zhao Duan asked curiously: "What about the other two? Are they warriors?" Eunuch Hai nodded and shook his head, saying: "One of them is a warrior at the Heavenly Man Realm. He lives on the East Sea coast, beside Qingcheng, on the Qingshan Mountain. It is said that he is striving to become a Human Immortal and has not come out for many years... As for the last one, you can guess?" Zhao Duan was startled, and a guess suddenly came to his mind: "Could it be..." Eunuch Hai smiled and said: "That's right, the fourth celestial being is our Queen, and she is also the youngest celestial being warrior since ancient times."
It's her! Xu Zhenguan! Although Zhao Duan had some guesses, he still couldn't hide his astonishment. He knew that the empress had reached a very high level of cultivation, but he had never expected that she was one of the four strongest people in the world today. No wonder he could defeat thousands of troops alone and suppress the Xuanmen coup. No wonder, even though she is the queen, her temperament is always extraordinary and not like that of an ordinary person. "However," Eunuch Hai added: “Your Majesty’s Heavenly Man Realm is not perfect yet, you have only barely made it by borrowing the dragon energy of the throne. Of course, with your Majesty's talent, I think you will be able to achieve perfection in the near future." Uh, an imperfect celestial realm...what's missing? If there is a lack of harmony between yin and yang, I can do my bit to help... Zhao Duan used complaining to ease his emotions. Immediately realized the key: "You said that His Majesty is the youngest person in the Heavenly Man Realm. Could it be that he relied on the royal inheritance?" The old eunuch with white hair and wearing a bright red dragon robe nodded and said with a smile: "So, now you should know how lucky you are, right? The royal secret teachings of our Great Yu Dynasty were created by the founding Emperor Taizu in the past, who drew on the strengths of various schools of thought and used his extraordinary talent to integrate the systems of sorcerers and warriors into one, thus creating a line of inheritance. It is also the top inheritance with the fastest advancement and the highest ceiling among the orthodox cultivation methods in the world today." Having said this, the old eunuch stopped. Zhao Duan then came to his senses and realized that while the two were talking, they had already passed through several doors and arrived deep into the martial arts hall. This is still a courtyard, but in the middle of the courtyard stands a pavilion shaped like an ancient tower. The building has five floors in total, and is full of traces of time, with red-painted wooden pillars mottled and dull. There were weeds growing between the tiles around, and it seemed that few people cleaned them. Zhao Duan stood at the bottom of the five-story pavilion with his head raised. He felt inexplicably peaceful and all his distracting thoughts were soothed. "Come on, you can enter the first floor and see the murals left by Emperor Taizu." The old eunuch in a dragon robe walked forward with his hands behind his back and entered the first floor. "Mural?" Zhao Duan withdrew his gaze from the spire and followed. "The inheritance created by Taizu is called 'God of War'... Haha, although there are hundreds of gods in this world, there is only no 'God of War'. Therefore, the meaning of this inheritance is that warriors must attribute the great power of heaven and earth to themselves, and every move they make must be magnificent, and they must transform their flesh into immortal gods on land." said Eunuch Hai. What a boldness... Let a warrior transform himself into a god... Zhao Duan was surprised. Ocean Road: "It's a pity that the Taizu's inheritance is special and cannot be recorded on paper, so he personally carved five murals with five realms. Since you are a mortal warrior, you are just right for comprehending the first one, which is also the beginning of the royal inheritance. The first painting is "The Martial God Picture"!" ……
ps: Introducing the power system. This kind of chapter is very tiring to write and cannot be omitted, but it is easy to read boring. . Headache (End of this chapter)
