Do not die

In the world.

Meng Zhou's consciousness was like a lofty heaven, looking down and watching various forces with "jing", "qi" and "spirit" as the three poles, circulating in an endless cycle.

If it weren't for the negative energy that would inevitably precipitate every time it ran, adding an extra burden to such a cycle, Meng Zhou would really have the illusion that this cycle would go on forever.

And every time the three-pole cycle goes through a complete cycle, the huge "inner world" has a negligible gain.

At a certain moment, when various forces once again completed Yi Ge's complete three-pole cycle, which was also the 2,400th three-pole cycle in this retreat, the pattern of the "inner world" suddenly changed drastically.

The "rivers" that spread all over the world like spider webs quietly became more dense, until they reached a certain extreme.

At the same time, more and new insights and experiences poured into Meng Zhou's heart, and his grasp of the "other world" became deeper.

Looking at this re-stabilized "river" network, it runs through every corner of the "inner world" and is omniscient.

Looking at this brand new "river", Meng Zhou intuitively felt a feeling in his heart - perfect!

And with this transformation, the negative energy that had been deposited in every corner of the "inner world" with circulation and circulation was directly cleared.

It was like after a heavy rain, the dust in the air was cleared away.

The tripolar cycle once again travels lightly.

After the "River Channel" underwent a transformation as a whole, Meng Zhou discovered that the condensation speed of the Green Lotus Sword Marrow had also been significantly improved compared to before the transformation.

It was not until the three-pole cycle circulated another 3,600 times that the negative energy accumulated in the "inner world" reached its limit.

Meng Zhou, who had carried a full six thousand cycles since the beginning of seclusion, finally stopped.

It was not until everything in the "inner world" was completely sorted out that Meng Zhou's consciousness broke away from this wonderful state and ended this deep retreat.

After waking up, Meng Zhou immediately took stock of what he had gained from this retreat, feeling excited and happy.

The harvest from this retreat can be compared to the previous three times.

And this is only one aspect. As the third-level Spring Water Sutra has completely completed the accumulation of the master level in this retreat and entered the realm of perfection, the efficiency of practice has been significantly improved.

The efficiency of cultivation has doubled, from increasing by one point every twenty weekly cycles before this retreat to increasing by one point every ten weekly cycles.

Meng Zhou seemed to have seen the late stage of pill formation speeding toward him.

[The Third Level Spring Water Sutra is Complete];

[Black Turtle Bearing Monument True Skill Experience Gain +6000 (2400+3600), Grandmaster 231,900/240,000];

[Cultivation progress +480 (120+360), sixth level of elixir formation 7390/10,000].

The third level of Chun Shui Sutra has brought about far more changes than just these as the master progresses to perfection.

The condensation speed of the Qinglian Sword Marrow, the purity and richness of the mana, and the richness of the vitality contained in it have all been greatly improved.

And these are still not the biggest gains from this transformation.

The biggest change is in himself.

At first, Meng Zhou himself didn't notice this.

It wasn't until he took a thorough look at his situation that he realized this.

Since the elixir was successfully formed, and the golden elixir with a hint of immortality was formed, although there have been continuous improvements in all aspects over the years, there has been no change in this most fundamental point.

That trace of immortal true meaning related to "vitality", what it was like at the beginning, has been what it has been all these years, always as stable as an old dog, unchanged at all.

But now, when Meng Zhou looked inward and introspected again, he was surprised to find that with the completion of the third-level Spring Water Sutra, this trace of immortal true meaning had significantly increased.

If we take the original thread of immortal true meaning as a reference and define it as "1" thread, then this thread of immortal true meaning has now reached "4" thread, a full increase of three times!

This is the greatest gain that the completion of the third-level Spring Water Sutra brings to Meng Zhou.

For a long time before, Meng Zhou devoted his time and energy outside of seclusion to the understanding and integration of the three professions: Spirit Controller, Medicine Spirit Master, and Spirit Adjuster.

The three professions, which were originally "Spirit Controller Level 3 9600/10,000", "Medicine Spirit Master Level 3 9200/10,000", and "Spirit Adjuster Level 3 9300/10,000", have all quietly reached the "Third Level". 9900/10,000”.

The completeness of the transparent Tao body has also been improved a bit, from "97" points to "98" points.

But these visible gains are not Meng Zhou's biggest gains these days. After his continuous understanding, Meng Zhou feels that he is getting closer and closer to piercing the last layer of window paper.

A powerful, new profession is about to be born.

But with the end of this retreat, and after sorting out what he had gained during this retreat, Meng Zhou paused his continued understanding of this aspect.

He stepped on the brakes so decisively because there was a more important task waiting for him.

The three-pole cycle at the elixir level is incomplete.

Of the three poles of "jing", "qi" and "spirit", only the two poles of "jing" and "qi" have corresponding cultivation methods, which are the Black Turtle Bearing Stele Zhen Gong and the Spring Water Sutra respectively.

As for the "god" pole, it has been missing from the time when the elixir was formed until now.

This one pole with missing legs has always relied on the particularity of the three-pole cycle itself to be held hostage by the other two poles, one on the left and one on the right, to fly forward.

The reason why this pole is lacking until now is because of the ambition in Meng Zhou's heart.

He already had many ready-made soul refining methods in his hands, but he did not use them.

With all the assistance he received after forming the elixir, it was not impossible to create a soul refining method that was most suitable for him, just like the black turtle's true skill of carrying a monument, but he also did not take this path.

Just because the soul refining method he was looking forward to was not just a soul refining method, but a cultivation method that could completely integrate the three aspects of Qi refining, body refining, and soul refining.

The difficulty immediately became more than ten times greater, as if he had to climb a glass mountain.

He has not grown up enough to make cards out of thin air or build ladders out of thin air. To climb this glass mountain, he must have something to rely on.

After careful consideration and in-depth exploration, Meng Zhou realized that cultivating both the Qi Refining Method and the Body Refining Method to perfection were the two biggest "leverage points" he could have, and probably the only two. indivual.

——Well, the third-level Spring Water Sutra and the Black Turtle Bearing Monument were also created by him through his own exploration. From this point of view, this is not much different from kicking off the right foot with the left foot to climb off the ground.

In the past, neither the third-level Spring Water Sutra nor the Black Turtle Bearing Tablet True Skill was perfect, and even the basic conditions were not met, so that was it.

Now, as the third-level Spring Water Sutra reaches perfection, the conditions have been met, and naturally there can be no further delay.

Compared with completing the most fundamental three-pole cycle, the understanding and integration of the three spiritual masters, medicine spiritual masters, and spiritual adjustment masters can only be done a little later.

Meng Zhou devoted all his time and energy after practicing in seclusion to exploring new paths. Before he knew it, another two months had passed.

…

April 5th, afternoon.

[Cultivation progress +360, sixth level of pill formation 8110/10,000;

Black Turtle Bearing Monument's real skill +3600, Grandmaster 239,100/240,000. 】

In addition, there are eighteen drops of Qinglian Sword Marrow.

That’s all I got from this retreat.

Before the third-level Spring Water Sutra is completed, the monthly harvest of the Green Lotus Sword Essence is twenty-eight drops, of which half is gained during the retreat period and half during ordinary times.

With the completion of the third-level Spring Water Sutra, the monthly harvest of Qinglian Sword Essence has become thirty-six drops, which is still half during the retreat period and half during ordinary times.

After sorting out the gains from this retreat, Meng Zhou once again immersed himself in the understanding and exploration of new paths and new techniques.

Originally, Meng Zhou was worried that he would feel uncomfortable when he first moved into Qiyundeng.

Soon, he realized that he was completely over-worrying.

Now, as long as it is not related to the decision of the path of Qingxuan Sect, he enjoys ancestor-level treatment.

In just a few months, Meng Zhou had adapted to and enjoyed it all.

As long as he doesn't want to, nothing will bother him.

If you need anything, just let me know and the entire Qingxuan Sect will be able to run for you.

After such a period of personal experience, Meng Zhou had a new understanding of the five domains and five sects.

From other people's perspective, as well as my own perspective, the ancestors of the five sects are like ballast stones, the decisive force that ensures that the five sects control the five regions.

Without them, the five sects would not have been able to maintain stability for a hundred years.

Now, Meng Zhou had a new understanding.

From the perspective of the ancestors of the five sects, the sects they founded and even the areas under their jurisdiction are tools to serve themselves, with the purpose of allowing them to enjoy a better cultivation atmosphere.

After realizing this level, Meng Zhou had some new insights in his heart.

“For other people in the sect, they are attached to the sect.

Their future, their status, wealth, power, and even their right to survive all depend on the sect.

Based on this premise, whether active or passive, perhaps self-infection, or domestication by others, they will eventually condense into a collective centripetal force for the sect.

In other words, it is loyalty.

Moreover, the stronger the sect and the longer it exists, the stronger the collective centripetal force will be, and the loyalty, sense of honor, etc. of the disciples to the sect will become higher and higher.

If one rejects this kind of change, one will either be expelled from such a system or be completely crushed by it. "

"The five domains and five sects are such outstanding representatives."

"But for the founder of the sect who is guarded at the center by such a 'collective centripetal force', it is a completely different set of logic.

To them, the sect is just a tool.

The purpose of the sect's existence is to serve them, not the other way around.

This is very obvious in the ancestors of Mingnan and the five elders of Qingxuan. "

Thinking of this, Meng Zhou whispered to himself:

"For other disciples of Qingxuan Sect, loyalty is an obligation, except for the five elders of Qingxuan.

As the founders of Qingxuan Sect, they have no such obligation. "

When you understand it, this principle seems very simple.

But it was this seemingly simple truth that gave Meng Zhou a new understanding of everything about the five domains and five sects.

Well, it’s not just the five domains and five sects!

In the past, Meng Zhou always subconsciously bound the ancestors who founded the sect to the sect closely, and believed that they were the absolute supporters of the sect's interests. This did not even require any reason.

But now, Meng Zhou has understood that this kind of understanding is shallow.

The simplest example is that the five elders of Qingxuan planned to use the nutrients of other spiritual and evil veins in the Qingxuan Domain - and focus on three third-level evil veins to help the upgrade of Qinglin Peak.

They really need "Qihuangzi" to remind them that even if this is successful, Qinglin Peak will no longer be suitable for a large number of middle and low-level monks to practice, and will become a dangerous place in their eyes, and the foundation of Qingxuan Sect will be shaken.

For such a future, for the five elders of Qingxuan who have been planning for many years, do they really need "Qihuangzi" to remind them?

Qingyao's answer rejected this possibility, but the reason was that Qinglin Peak's foundation could withstand such an impact.

If you think about it carefully, this reason is actually quite far-fetched.

And, there is a paranoid fluke.

Just like in the eyes of a gambler, there is only the possibility of winning and the possibility of losing is ignored.

Is Qingxuan Wu a gambler?

So, the real reason is, they don't care.

What they need is to successfully upgrade Qinglin Peak. As for whether there is more evil energy or more spiritual energy, whether it will hinder the cultivation of middle and low-level monks... they don't care.

The reason for giving such a far-fetched and lucky explanation is just to put a warm veil over this cold behavior.

If someone really wants to lift this veil, they probably won't care too much.

"Perhaps this is the true thinking mode of these ancestors."

These insights were not obtained by Meng Zhou's deliberate pondering, but were just insights that came naturally after several months of meditation in Qiyun Peak.

Meng Zhou pressed these insights back into his heart and continued to immerse himself in the exploration and understanding of his own path.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

The fifth day of May, afternoon.

The various forces in the "inner world" are centered on the three poles of "jing", "qi" and "spirit". After circulating for 3600 days, the negative energy accumulated in the "inner world" reached its limit, and Meng Zhou ended This time of practice.

And earlier, not long after this retreat began, the "inner world" had already undergone a transformation.

That was when the Black Turtle Bearing Monument True Skill had gained 9,000 points of experience and completed the accumulation of the master level, advancing from "grandmaster 231,000/240,000" to the state of perfection.

With this improvement, waves of new insights poured into Meng Zhou's heart.

After finishing the retreat, Meng Zhou looked at what he had gained from this retreat.

Meng Zhou's mentality towards the breakthrough in the Xuangui Bearing Monument True Skill in the Body Refining Method was much duller than the breakthrough in the Third Level Spring Water Sutra in the Qi Refining Technique.

He didn't have too many expectations for this harvest.

The result gave him a huge surprise.

Originally, with the completion of the third-level Spring Water Sutra, the progress of a retreat's cultivation would steadily increase by 360 points.

But this time, the cultivation progress has once again increased by 480 points.

[Cultivation progress +480, sixth level of pill formation 8590/10,000]

Meng Zhou dug deeper and found the reason.

This is an additional benefit brought by the fundamental principle of "the three-pole cycle of essence, energy, and spirit."
