Chapter 27 Guishui Sutra

"Guishui Zhenjing" is the most powerful and core immortal method of Guishui Xianmen. It is listed as one of the oldest, most mysterious and most powerful immortal methods in the immortal world along with Yimu Xianmen's "Yimu Yinxian Fa", Dinghuo Xianmen's "Dinghuo Fentian Jue", Jitu Xianmen's "Jitu Chongyue Gong" and Xinjin Xianmen's "Xinjin Po Qianjun". For hundreds of millions of years, countless people have wanted to join these five ancient immortal sects, but no one has found the location of their five sects' mountain gates.

The opening of "Guishui Zhenjing" says "There are five elements in the sky, water, fire, metal, wood, and earth, which are nurtured at different times to form all things, and they are mutually generated and restrained, and they are endless. However, water is the basis of the five elements. It is as hard as metal, as thick as earth, as flammable as fire, and as light as air." The five elements are mutually generated and restrained, and they are balanced to form the five elements. However, at the beginning of chaos, they were also born in a certain order. The first one was water, and there was life with water, and then wood, fire, earth, and metal were born, until finally a state of balanced mutual generation and restraint was slowly formed, which followed the law between heaven and earth and achieved the growth of all things.

Water is the basis of all elements and the first of the Five Elements. If it is eternal ice, its hardness can be comparable to top-notch metals; if it is thousands of layers of water, it is like thick soil and mountains; if it is extremely cold, it can be flammable; if it turns mist into gas, it is as breathtaking as emerald wood. Therefore, among the five ancient immortal sects, their skills are also divided into strong and weak, but this strength is only reflected in those below the Mahayana stage. If these five immortal techniques are cultivated to the Mahayana stage at the same time, without considering factors such as qualifications and abilities, there is no distinction between winners and losers in terms of the power and magical powers of the immortal techniques, which is in line with the theory that the five elements will eventually be balanced and perfect. Below the Mahayana stage, without considering factors such as qualifications and abilities, the "Guishui Sutra" is the strongest and all-encompassing, the "Yimu Yinxian Fa" is second, and so on, but the gap between them is not very large, and the Xinjin Immortal Sect, which ranks last, has the fastest cultivation speed and the sharpest attack. It often suppresses other sects in terms of realm, but its spiritual power is not as dignified and solid as the other four sects.

To practice the "Guishui Sutra", with the water spirit root as the foundation, each level of realm is finally cultivated to balance according to the method of mutual generation of the five elements, and then you can enter a realm. Take the first level of the Condensation Qi Stage as an example. Water, wood, fire, earth, and gold are mutually generated in twos, like five large vats of different heights, they are arranged in order, water is the highest vat, and wood, fire, earth, gold are arranged in order, and gold is the shortest vat. When practicing "Guishui Zhenjing", the jar with the highest water attribute is used as the basis. When practicing, it is like pouring water. When the water spirit power is finally cultivated to the mouth of the jar, the water spirit power jar is full. However, unlike other immortal sects' skills, it will not impact the second level of Qi Condensation Stage and then advance.

If you practice "Guishui Zhenjing" at this time, you cannot reach the second level of Qi Condensation. You must continue to practice. If you continue to practice, the water spirit power will overflow from the mouth of the water spirit power tank because the tank is full and there is nowhere to store it. It will flow down and be injected into the wood spirit power tank slightly lower than it. When the water spirit power reaches this tank, it will generate wood spirit power due to the law of mutual generation until the wood spirit power tank is filled again. At this time, if you continue to practice, the water spirit power will continue to overflow and be injected into the wood spirit power tank. The wood spirit power tank is also full at this time, so it overflows again and is injected into the fire spirit power tank lower than it. Similarly, due to the mutual generation of the five elements, the fire spirit power tank generates fire spirit power, and so on, until the gold spirit power tank is also filled, and the five elements are generated. It is possible to reach the second level of Qi Condensation.

With each subsequent level increase, the spiritual power tank in the body will continue to expand and increase due to the improvement of the realm. Therefore, it is necessary to use the higher-level

mental formula to practice, and complete the five elements of spiritual power to fill the tank again, and so on.

Here is reflected the requirements of the five ancient immortal sects for selecting disciples, and the importance of the strength and weakness of the spiritual roots in the body. If the spiritual roots in the body are not reduced in sequence according to the principle of mutual generation, then when practicing this method, the spiritual power in the body will be in chaos, and the practitioner will not be able to control the spiritual power in the body, and finally die on the spot.

For example, if a person with mixed spiritual roots has the best water spiritual power, he needs to practice "Kuishui Zhenjing", but his other spiritual powers are arranged in this order: fire, earth, gold, and wood. Then, when he fills up the water spiritual power tank of "Guishui Zhenjing", if he continues to practice, the spiritual power generated by the overflow of the water spiritual power tank will be injected into the fire spiritual power tank, but the fire spiritual power cannot be generated by the water spiritual power. As a result, there will be no other results except the violent rage caused by the rejection of spiritual power, and there will be only one way to go in the end.

This five-element technique looks complicated and difficult to practice. Others can advance quickly by practicing one attribute, while they have to practice all five elements to enter the next stage. It seems that it takes several times more time than others. This is the biggest taboo in the world of immortal cultivation. Immortal cultivation, immortal cultivation, cultivate time, otherwise you will die of old age before you reach the foundation-building stage in just a few decades, and you will not have time to advance to the next stage to increase your lifespan. But this is not the case for the Five Immortal Sects. This is also the strength of these five ancient immortal cultivation sects. They adopt the method of mutual generation. In addition to the first level of Qi Condensation Period, which requires the cultivation of the five elements of spiritual power from scratch, when you cultivate the last gold spiritual power of the first level of Qi Condensation Period, you will complete an endless circle of five elements. At this time, gold can produce water, which will drive the water spiritual power to accelerate the generation and circulation. The speed of water spiritual power is faster, which in turn drives the other attribute spiritual powers to accelerate mutual generation again, which will make the cultivation speed gradually become faster and faster.

The second benefit of "Guishui Zhenjing" is that the spiritual power of cultivators at the same stage is three to five times that of other cultivators of the same level except for the Five Immortal Sects, but this depends on the size of your spiritual power tank. In this way, you can last longer and use more powerful spells when fighting.

The third benefit is that you can practice immortal arts with different spiritual power attributes. Although cultivators other than the Holy Spirit Root of other sects can also practice or use immortal arts with other attributes at the same time, there are very few who practice more than two attributes at the same time. This will greatly prolong the time to upgrade, which is not what they want. Even if there are some very special techniques, at most they can practice two attributes at the same time, and there are also differences in strength, and usually they still focus on their main techniques. Unlike the immortal arts of the five ancient sects, the spiritual power is generated from each other, and there is no strong or weak relationship when using them. For example, if you use the earth attribute immortal arts, and the spiritual power is insufficient, you can inject the fire attribute spiritual power into the earth attribute tank to transform it into earth spiritual power, and the wood spiritual power will continuously generate fire attribute to supplement the fire spiritual power. In this way, there is no embarrassing situation that the power of a certain type of immortal arts is not strong because the spiritual power of that attribute is thin. Of course, the premise is that you have time to practice immortal arts of various attributes. This is the real horror of the five ancient sects. It is also what the major sects in the immortal world do not understand. The horror of their immortal arts comes from the mutual generation of the core power. Seeing this, Li Yan also remembered the weird smile of Dong Fuyi when he practiced to the peak of the first level of the Condensation Stage. Now he has understood what he meant. In this way, when Master Ji absorbs other people's internal power, because he is only in the third level of Qi Condensation, the person being absorbed cannot exceed his maximum tolerance limit, that is, the spiritual power cannot exceed the peak of the first level of Qi Condensation, otherwise the other party's spiritual power is too huge and will be backfired and die. However, with the cultivation method of "Guishui Zhenjing", when he cultivates to the peak of the first level of Qi Condensation, the spiritual power in his body is at least three times that of ordinary cultivators. Once Master Ji absorbs, it will not be himself who dies in the end, but Master Ji. The second is that if he changes the attribute of the output spiritual power when absorbing his own spiritual power, and it is not the wood spiritual power cultivated by "Wu Ye Lian Qing Gong", then if it is absorbed into his body, the result can be imagined.

However, the premise of these two results is that he must at least cultivate "Kuishui Zhenjing" to a certain degree before it can be done.

After reading the opening outline, although Li Yan had never seen what other immortal cultivation sects looked like, he couldn't help but sigh, "There are such evil techniques in the world. It's really against the will of heaven. No wonder it's so difficult to pass on. The cycle of heaven has its own justice."

He then concentrated and looked back. There were only a dozen lines behind. That was the cultivation formula for the first level of the Condensation Stage. Li Yan couldn't help but feel refreshed. The road is coming.

Li Yan slowly opened his eyes. He was still in the stone house, still sitting cross-legged on the bed, but there was an extra formula in his mind. He had just memorized these dozen lines of formulas several times in his sea of ​​consciousness. After confirming that they were correct, he thought about how to get out. Then, he had exited his sea of ​​consciousness with his mind.

Li Yan closed his eyes again, thought about how to enter and exit the sea of ​​consciousness, and concentrated his mental power on his forehead again. After a flash of light, he came to the small lake again, and then drove himself out of this space with his mind. In an instant, he returned to the real world.

He stood up and stood on the ground, with a smile on his face. He finally mastered the method of entering and exiting the sea of ​​consciousness, and also obtained the method of practicing "Guishui Zhenjing". Then the next step was how to escape from this valley of beasts.

After lunch, Li Yan walked briskly to the door of the first stone house. As usual, the gentle voice of Ji Junshi came from the house. "Come in, come in." Li Yan smiled slightly and pushed the door open.

Advisor Ji was still sitting cross-legged behind the low table as he had always been, but his face was still a little uncertain. He looked at Li Yan who came in, calmed down, and pointed to the carpet in front of the table, "Sit down."

Since he came back, he sat cross-legged for a while as usual to calm the heat in his chest. Recently, the fire poison in his body has become more and more difficult to suppress. It is better not to use spiritual power. Once used, there is a feeling of a chaotic breath. Just now when he was outside to treat Li Yan, he used spiritual power several times and felt that his breath was a little unstable. "We have to hurry up. If we continue like this, we probably won't be able to suppress it for another year or two," he thought to himself, and then habitually stretched out his left hand from his sleeve and looked at the two-layer book casually. "But we can't put all our hopes on that kid. It's just that this book should have been set with a profound ban. Hmm." He was thinking about something in his heart, but the scene in front of him made him stunned. He immediately stood up from the ground. The book was still the two books that were glued together, but the book from one-third to the bottom was no longer the light yellow color he was familiar with. It turned out that the color of the upper one-third of the book was jade white, and the lower two-thirds was light yellow. Since he got the jade slip and the jade book, he used magic power to stick the two together for easy reference. It has been like this for so many years. He never put down the book and studied it every day, but now it is no longer the scene he is familiar with. The upper one-third is still jade white, as always, but the lower two-thirds has turned gray-brown, as if it has lost its luster. This change surprised him.

He hurriedly took the two books together and examined them carefully. He turned the books several times and looked at them from different angles. Finally, he confirmed that the books had indeed changed. He carefully turned the book to one-third of the way. The cover of the pale yellow jade book was now lifeless, like a withered and rotten wood. He silently used his magic power to pour it into it. After a while, he heard a clear sound of "bo". The gray-brown book was successfully immersed in his magic power. Master Ji was overjoyed and thought to himself, "Maybe the restriction of this book has been lost over the years. Today's color should be the power of the restriction being invalid." Then he hurriedly released his spiritual consciousness and carefully approached it little by little. After a while, he found that there was nothing wrong. He increased the power of his spiritual consciousness and slowly penetrated into the jade book. Then he saw an unexpected scene. The book was an empty space, but in the center there was a map hanging in the air that was slightly distorted by the wind. When viewed from a distance, several winding lines and some markings could be seen on it.

At this point, he still did not forget to approach the map with his consciousness carefully. After a long time, his consciousness finally stopped in front of the map, and there was no unexpected situation. This made him feel relieved, but he still only approached with his consciousness, and did not touch the map. It was like a route map. Several different routes converged from several directions of the map to an area in the center, and finally stopped at a place similar to a lake, on which there were several flashing blood-red words "Great Poisonous Creatures Technique". He stared at these words blankly, "Great Poisonous Creatures Technique, Great Poisonous Creatures, this should be a method of cultivating poison immortals or using poison immortals. God will not kill me, God will not kill me, haha". For a person like Ji Junshi, who was so naive, he was actually ecstatic at this moment. After ecstasy, he carefully studied the map.

After a while, Ji Junshi's consciousness withdrew from the jade book, and his face seemed to be happy and angry. He just studied the map carefully, and finally made up his mind and touched the map with a trace of consciousness. The result was that there was no accident, which made him completely relieved.

He seemed to have been to the place marked on this map, but some of the terrain and landforms were different. In his impression, this place should be about ten thousand miles west of the Daqing Mountains, and then turn north for about four thousand miles. There was a long and narrow valley with a lake in it that was somewhat similar to this map, but the scenery around the lake on the map was somewhat different from his memory, which made him a little unsure for a moment.
