Chapter 131 Yin Yang Five Elements
Yuxuan Peak.
In the pavilion in the garden behind the main hall, Li Yu held a jade slip the size of a thumb in his hand.
He found this in the ancient zither given to him by Tianyin Sect. The jade slip was hidden in the hollow body of the zither, and no one knew who put it in there.
He just heard a strange sound coming from the piano. After opening it, he found a secret compartment inside. The jade slip could just fit in the secret compartment. Perhaps it was because of the vibration of the sound waves that caused it to fall out of the secret compartment.
This jade slip is definitely not a modern thing. In today's world of immortal cultivation, there is no technology to make jade slips.
Only those ancient sects would use jade slips to record information.
This item most likely came from the ancient Tianyin Sect, which is at least ten thousand years old.
This immediately aroused Li Yu's interest. According to past experience, these ancient jade slips recorded some ancient heritage, including alchemy, talismans, formations and various cultivation methods.
When he placed the jade slip on his forehead and scanned it with his spiritual sense, a steady stream of information immediately began to flow into his mind.
"On March 7, I found a Seven Heart Flower in Qinnan Mountain, but it was snatched away by Ma Mingyuan of the Heavenly Dao Sect, who also injured my arm. I am not strong enough, so I will keep this grudge in mind for now and will avenge it one day."
Li Yu's first reaction when he saw this line of words was that this jade slip belonged to the contemporary Tianyin Sect's disciples, but he soon realized that modern immortal cultivators would not use jade slips to record information. In ancient times, there were also the Tiandao Sect and the Tianyin Sect. It seems that no matter whether it is the ancient Tiandao Sect or the contemporary Tiandao Sect, the disciples are of the same character.
He continued reading.
"April 3rd, next month is Junior Sister Song's birthday. What should I give her? She once said that she wanted an Emei fairy robe, but it's too expensive. She needs to mine for the sect for ten years to save enough fairy coins. Well, ten years is ten years..."
"On May 6th, Junior Sister Song's birthday, Wang Tingfeng gave her an Emei fairy robe and a Qingcheng spirit boat, and Junior Sister Song agreed to be his dual cultivation partner. Isn't Wang relying on an ancestor in the Spiritualization Stage? He already has six partners, but he's still not satisfied. I didn't know before that Junior Sister Song is such a superficial woman. It doesn't matter if I don't love her..."
"May 7th, very drunk."
"May 8th, very drunk."
"On June 5th, I think Junior Sister Liu is more beautiful. She took the initiative to invite me to hunt monsters. Could it be that she is interested in me?"
…
Li Yu discovered that the content of the jade slip was not the inheritance or cultivation method he had thought it was.
This thing turned out to be a diary, a diary left by an ancient disciple of the Tianyin Sect.
The diary is full of trivial daily life, there is nothing useful.
However, Li Yu still read on patiently. The current world of immortal cultivation does not know much about the ancient world of immortal cultivation. It seemed that those ancient sects disappeared collectively at the same time, leaving behind one mystery after another for future generations.
This diary is not recorded every day. In the early stage, a little more is recorded, and less and less is recorded as time goes by. In the end, there is not even a record for a year or even several years. As the cultivation level of the immortal cultivator increases, the time of seclusion will also increase. If nothing happens, there will naturally be nothing to record.
Li Yu continued reading and found a key one.
"October 7th. I have been cultivating for nearly fifty years. Today I finally formed a pill. I am very happy and drunk!"
This ancient disciple of the Tianyin Sect had decent talent, having reached Dan stage before the age of fifty. His status in the sect was not very high either, and it was not achieved simply by relying on resources.
This kind of talent, even in today's world, would make one a genius among geniuses. However, considering the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth in ancient times, as well as the abundance of resources for cultivation, it might be possible to form a pill at the age of fifty.
“On the fifth day of March, today I, along with four other brothers and sisters, fought against the Five Elements Sect’s demon leader Situ Feng. This demon leader is indeed a fellow cultivator of the Five Sects. He fought one against five and was not at a disadvantage. If it weren’t for Brother Chen’s powerful magic weapon, I’m afraid we would have died and our hundred years of cultivation would have been destroyed in one day.
I got the Yin-Yang Five Elements Secret from Situ Feng. This magic technique is really powerful. Although it is extremely difficult to practice, the transformation of spirits is the breaking of the void. The day of breaking the void is the time to merge with the Tao. It will only take a moment for the celestial being to ascend to heaven..."
Li Yu originally just treated the diary as gossip, but when he saw the record of that day, he stood up straight up.
What the hell?
To transform into a spirit is to break through the void, and breaking through the void is in harmony with the Tao. Is there such a heaven-defying skill?
The Divine Realm, the Void Realm, the Dao Realm, each realm is more difficult to break through than the previous one. According to what is written in this diary, the Divine Realm is the end point of cultivation.
Li Yu was extremely shocked and immediately looked at the next one.
"On the sixth day of the third month, I blocked the attack of the devil for Junior Sister Liu yesterday. Today, Junior Sister Liu agreed to be my Taoist partner. Could it be that after a hundred years of cultivation, I will finally get rid of my pure Yang body..."
Judging from the following contents of the diary, this ancient disciple of the Tianyin Sect had indeed gotten rid of his pure yang body.
For the next whole month, he wrote about this incident, and his descriptions were extremely detailed. Perhaps it was because he was used to writing diaries , and his writing skills had improved quite well. The diary he kept for this month could be considered a pornographic text, and even Li Yu, who had experienced this, felt a little embarrassed.
This guy only mentioned the "Yin Yang and Five Elements Secret" once, but he spent a whole month writing about the details of dual cultivation. Although it was indeed well written, this was not what he wanted to see!
What he wanted to see was a heavenly technique that could make one become a god by transforming into a spirit and possess endless lifespan!
The result disappointed Li Yu.
The other party did not write about dual cultivation for one month, but for three full months. During these three months, the diary recorded their dual cultivation in various postures and in various places. After three months, the diary came to an abrupt end, and there was no more content afterwards.
Li Yu cursed inwardly, he had never seen anyone more lustful than this man, who turned a serious diary into a pornographic text.
At this moment, his mind was filled with "The Secret of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements".
The diary mentioned that this technique came from the Five Elements Sect, which seemed to be an ancient demon sect. However, in today's world of immortal cultivation, neither the righteous nor the evil sect has the Five Elements Sect. Either this demon sect was wiped out in ancient times, or no inheritance was left, or the inheritance has not been discovered yet.
From that diary, Li Yu also got a piece of information that this "Yin Yang and Five Elements Secret" should be practiced by all five spiritual veins.
He contacted the demon girl immediately and asked her directly, "Girl, have you heard of the Five Elements Sect?"
The demon girl thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard of it."
"What about the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Secret?"
"No, what is that?"
"That's fine..."
…
The Five Elements Sect is an ancient demon sect, but even the demon girl doesn't know about it, so the possibility of other people knowing about it should be even smaller. Li Yu was just thinking about whether he should wait for the headmaster to come out of seclusion and then go to him to inquire about it, when suddenly a figure appeared in his mind.
It was really wrong for him not to think of Wu Tong first when something like this happened.
A moment later, in a private room on the second floor of Piaoxiang Tower on Zixiao Peak, Li Yu filled both of their glasses with spirit wine. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he asked Wu Tongdao, "Have you ever heard of the Five Elements Sect?"
Wu Tong took a sip of wine and asked, "The Ancient Demon Sect Five Elements Sect?"
Li Yu was surprised and said: "You really know!"
Wu Tongdao said: "Not many people know about this sect. I also learned about it from some ancient books. It is said that this sect was once famous in ancient times. There are not many disciples in the Five Elements Sect, but each of them has a great reputation in the ancient cultivation world. Later, because they acted too cruelly, they were jointly wiped out by the righteous and evil..."
Li Yu's guess was correct. The Five Elements Sect was indeed destroyed in ancient times. No wonder no Taoist tradition was passed down.
Li Yu asked again: "The Five Elements Sect has a magic skill, do you know?"
Wu Tongdao: "You are talking about the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Secret, right?"
Li Yu was surprised and asked, "You know this too?"
Wu Tongdao: "Of course, the Ancient Five Elements Sect is famous for two reasons. One is that every disciple in the sect is a notorious killer. The second is the Yin-Yang Five Elements Secret, which can transcend the two realms of transformation and breaking the void, and directly enter the heaven and ascend on the spot..."
Li Yu was shocked for a moment: "Is there really such a heaven-defying technique?"
Wu Tong thought for a while and said, "Actually... the Yin Yang Five Elements Art is not that simple. It is not like achieving a celestial being directly from the late Nascent Soul stage. The difficulty of practicing the Yin Yang Five Elements Art is not much simpler than other techniques..."
"Tell me more..."
When in doubt, ask Wu Tong. As expected, Li Yu was right. He soon found out what he wanted to know.
The essence of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements lies in the two words "Yin-Yang" and "Five Elements".
In order to pursue faster cultivation speed, most immortal cultivators will only cultivate one spiritual vein. From Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Po Void Breaking, and then to Heaven, they only cultivate one spiritual vein.
However, cultivation becomes more and more difficult as time goes by, especially after reaching the stage of Spirit Transformation. Every slight increase in cultivation takes an extremely long time.
For those who are not talented enough, the remaining lifespan is not enough to cultivate to the point of breaking through the void.
In this situation, some cultivators took a different approach and found a new way to break through the void, which they called "Five Elements Breaking the Void".
Their descendants, from the beginning of Qi Refining, have been practicing the Five Spiritual Veins simultaneously, and have been practicing them until the late stage of the Five Spiritual Veins Nascent Soul.
The primordial spirit is formed by the primordial infant. After they become gods, they have five primordial spirits with different attributes.
Although these five souls have different properties, they are of the same origin. After they are merged into one soul, one can directly advance from the initial stage of transformation to the stage of breaking the void.
This method is faster than practicing with a single spiritual vein to reach the level of Breaking the Void.
But the disadvantages are also obvious.
That is, compared with peers, the progress of cultivation in the early stage is extremely slow. After all, while others cultivate one line, you have to cultivate five. Your lifespan is facing a great threat. Whether it is building the foundation, forming the elixir, or becoming an infant, you are many years later than others and may not be able to survive this hurdle of lifespan.
Li Yu has a deep understanding of this.
It was fine when refining Qi and building the foundation, but when it came to forming the pill, without the help of elixirs, it was obvious that cultivating the five spiritual veins was not for the purpose of forming a baby, unless one had a heavenly spiritual vein like Senior Sister Qin, Jiang Li, and the demon girl.
The Tianling vein can absorb spiritual energy by itself for cultivation, so they can use their time and energy on other spiritual veins.
Theoretically speaking, the more spiritual veins one has, the easier it is to practice.
If all five spiritual veins are heavenly spiritual veins, then you can just lie down and the spiritual veins will cultivate themselves.
If it is not the Heavenly Spiritual Vein, practicing the Five Spiritual Veins can still allow one to form a fetus or even become a god before the end of one's lifespan. Obviously, there is only one way.
Hunting the same level.
Wu Tong continued, "The five elements are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. The five spiritual veins must be cultivated at the same time to ensure the balance of the five elements. The mana of each attribute cannot differ too much, otherwise the weaker spiritual veins will be suppressed and the mana will be difficult to increase. Therefore, the disciples of the Five Elements Sect have been cultivating the five spiritual veins since the Qi Refining Stage. Their strength far exceeds that of their peers, but their cultivation speed is slow and their lifespan is more urgent. They can only hunt down strong people of the same stage and use other people's golden elixirs and Nascent Souls to quickly improve their strength and increase their lifespan. This eventually aroused public anger and was destroyed by the major ancient sects..."
Li Yu's guess was correct. The Yin-Yang and Five Elements Technique was indeed a path of killing.
Wu Tong said slowly: "In fact, these things are not a secret at all to the top masters in the world of immortal cultivation. Otherwise, why do you think those people in the Tiandao Sect practice the Five Spiritual Veins? Our Senior Sister Qin, the Saintess of the Xuanyin Sect, and your Junior Sister Jiang practice the Five Spiritual Veins for that ray of opportunity to break through the void, but they themselves may not know this yet..."
It’s unclear whether others know Li Yu, but Jiang Li really doesn’t know.
She just foolishly practiced according to her master's requirements and never thought about anything else.
Li Yu asked again: "What about He Dao?"
Wu Tong shrugged and said, "The Five Elements break through the void, Yin and Yang merge into one, the spiritual veins are refined in the positive direction to become Yang, and in the reverse direction to become Yin. The disciples of the ancient Five Elements Sect will cultivate a clone after the Nascent Soul stage and reversely refine the spiritual veins. When the clone's cultivation reaches the level of breaking through the void, it can merge Yin and Yang and achieve the status of a celestial being...
Unfortunately, after the Five Elements Sect was destroyed, the clone technique created by the Five Elements Sect's ancestor was also completely lost. Only the five elements of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements remained, without Yin and Yang. No one can practice the complete Yin and Yang Five Elements Technique anymore."
After listening to Wu Tong, Li Yu realized that the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Secret was just a way of practicing, and its core was actually the art of splitting oneself into two.
In other words, he doesn't need to practice any spells. As long as he keeps practicing the Five Spiritual Veins, when he reaches the late Nascent Soul stage and successfully condenses five primordial spirits, he can skip the practice of the Spirit Transformation stage and directly achieve Breaking the Void.
If he could practice the magic skills as well and gather the ten kinds of spirits of the positive five elements and the negative five elements, he would be able to successively skip the process of transforming into a spirit to breaking through the void, and breaking through the void to becoming a celestial being, and directly achieve becoming a celestial being.
But just thinking about this kind of thing will make you realize how difficult it is.
The lifespan of a Jindan stage cultivator is only five hundred years.
In these five hundred years, he still has great hope of forming a Nascent Soul with a single spiritual vein, but if he cultivates with five spiritual veins, there is no hope at all, not to mention the Nascent Soul to the Spiritualization. This means that he needs to cultivate from the early stage of the Nascent Soul to the Spiritualization of the Five Spiritual Veins within a few hundred years...
This is simply impossible.
Unless a new path of practice can be opened up.
Or maybe, in order to improve their cultivation, they constantly seize other people's golden elixir and primordial infant. Even the devil is not so cruel. Once such a person appears, he will definitely be killed by the righteous and evil together, just like ten thousand years ago...
