Chapter 16: The Master's Realm is Hard to Estimate [New Book, Please Collect! ]
"Ping eh?"
Li Xinyi repeated it, completely unable to figure out the meaning of this name.
Li Chu didn't want to say more, so he looked at Li Xinyi and smiled mysteriously.
This is what he learned from Yu Qian'an. As long as he smiled like this at the person who asked the question, even if she didn't understand anything, she would think she was very impressive and would give up asking further questions.
Whenever he asked his master questions, the master would often smile like this.
The difference might be that the master is really amazing, and he is just too lazy to explain.
Sure enough, although Li Xinyi was confused, looking at Li Chu's ambiguous smile, she suddenly felt that this might involve an unspeakable secret.
So she stopped asking.
Li Xinyi shook off the dust on his body, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The mission has been successfully completed. Let's go back."
"Yeah." Li Chu followed suit.
After walking out of the courtyard, Li Xinyi suddenly stopped.
After the resentment disappeared, the summer night breeze began to rise.
She looked at the empty courtyard, reached out and pulled off the red silk that tied her hair, shook her head, and her long hair spread out, looking extremely soft.
Li Chu turned around and looked at her: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." She shook her head.
Then she picked up the piece of red silk and let it float away with the wind.
Li Chu watched her movements and said nothing.
After looking in the direction of the flying red silk for a while, she turned around, smiled, and jumped up to catch up.
With her long hair draped over her shoulders, she looked less heroic and more gentle than before, and seemed more approachable.
Standing side by side with Li Chu, she asked with a smile: "Little Taoist priest, do you like me with my hair tied up or with my hair down?"
Li Chu's intuition told him that this question was a trap, so he refused to answer.
Li Xinyi asked again: "Little Taoist priest, why are you so powerful?"
Li Chu said seriously: "I'm not that good."
"Humph, you can create such a strong sword energy, and you still say it's not amazing." Li Xinyi snorted and asked, "Did you deliberately hide the fluctuation of your true energy?"
"No."
“Then—” Li Xinyi drew out a long tone: “Do you like me with my hair tied up or with my hair down?”
“…”
On a moonlit night with a clear sky, the sounds of frogs, cicadas, birds, dogs and li Xinyi mixed together. Amid the noise, there was a hint of human life, which dispelled the previous gloom.
Li Chu suddenly felt peaceful.
There are many bad things in this world, and there are many unfortunate people. But no matter what, as long as we are lucky enough to live a peaceful life, we should try to cherish it.
They soon reached Yuhang Town. Li Xinyi went to the county government office, where someone arranged accommodation for her. Li Chu, on the other hand, had to walk back to Shilipo.
When they parted, Li Xinyi reluctantly pulled the little Taoist priest and asked him to take her around Yuhang Town when he had the chance.
Li Chu said, definitely next time.
…
On the way back, he reflected on what he had seen and heard today.
Although the process of dealing with the evil spirit was simple, it also taught him a vivid lesson.
The world is slippery and people’s hearts are complicated.
Li Xinyi's strength was obviously stronger than that of the evil spirit, but because of a moment of weakness, she was nearly killed by the evil spirit.
If I hadn't been there, she would have died in vain.
But on second thought, if Li Xinyi had not shown up today and I had gone alone to exorcise the evil spirit, would I not feel pity when I saw a little girl kneeling in front of me begging for mercy?
Maybe not.
If there was no one else around, wouldn't it be possible that I was the one who died?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.
When he arrived at the gate of Deyun Temple, he had already summarized his thoughts for the day.
As the Taoist scriptures say, if a person is not ruthless, he cannot stand firm.
…
The next morning.
The master with an immortal look was still sitting under the tree in a simple and natural posture, without saying a word. His eyes moved around, and from the hair to the soles of his feet, he was full of the demeanor of a master.
Li Chu stepped forward and said respectfully, "Master, I have something I want to ask you."
"Oh?" Yu Qian'an smiled faintly: "You can say it anyway."
Li Chu sat opposite him and asked, "Disciple would like to ask, what are the seven realms of heaven and man?"
"The Seven Realms of Heaven and Man?" Yu Qi calmed down and said, "Why do you suddenly want to ask this?"
"Yesterday someone asked me which of the seven realms of heaven and man I had reached, but I had no idea. So I was a little curious and wanted to ask Master." Li Chu answered truthfully.
Although Li Xinyi said yesterday that this was insignificant, he was not stupid. Why would she ask about something insignificant?
So I always had a doubt in my mind.
"This is actually just some common sense for cultivators." Yu Qian'an said slowly.
"The Seven Realms of Heaven and Man are the seven major realms that cultivators usually have to go through. The so-called Heaven and Man refers to the transition from human to heaven, and these seven realms are the path to heaven."
"It is for strengthening the body, the sea of qi, the union of spirit, the transformation into a dragon, the myriad things, the cutting off of decay, and the reaching of heaven."
"Among them, the Body Forging Realm cultivates steel bones, the Qi Sea Realm cultivates Dantian into the sea, the Shenhe Realm cultivates the immortality of the primordial spirit, the Dragon Transformation Realm cultivates the physical body into a dragon, the Myriad Realm cultivates the unity of heaven and man, the Decline Realm cultivates transcendence, and the Heaven-reaching Realm cultivates land immortals."
I see.
Li Chu nodded in understanding. Is this the division of cultivation realms in this world?
How should I calculate it? It seems that I don’t have the characteristics of each realm here.
However, my cultivation method is different from theirs, so it is normal that the level division is different.
Seeing that he looked thoughtful, Yu Qian'an said:
"In fact, not all cultivators have to take this path, but the mainstream cultivators today, known as Qi Refiners in ancient times, will advance according to the seven realms of heaven and man."
"Other inheritances, such as warriors, poison masters, wizards, etc., are endless and have their own realm divisions. Demons, monsters, ghosts, and monsters... also have their own paths to follow, so there is no need to be too rigid about this. Just use it as a rough reference."
Li Chu nodded and said, "Disciple would like to ask, at what level can one be considered a master in the martial arts world?"
This is actually a question he has always wanted to know.
In the final analysis, he just wanted to understand to what extent he had to cultivate so that he could leave the Novice Village and venture into the world.
Yu Qian'an stroked his beard and smiled again: "Haha, that depends on your understanding of masters."
"In the whole world, there are only one in ten thousand people who are born with spiritual roots and can embark on the path of cultivation. And among those who have spiritual roots, 90% will remain in the entry-level body-building stage for the rest of their lives. Compared to ordinary people, they are already absolute masters."
"To enter the Qi Sea realm is considered outstanding. To travel the world, you can be called a master."
"If you have the ability to achieve divine harmony, you are blessed by heaven. You can be a pillar of the martial arts sect, or you can be in charge of a region when serving in the imperial court."
"Once you enter the Dragon Transformation Realm, you can be called a famous figure in the martial arts world and become famous wherever you go!"
"After transforming into a dragon, it's a completely different story. The first three realms are closer to humans, while the last three realms are closer to heaven! Once you enter the realm of all things, you can speak the law and move the heavens. This is enough to open up a mountain gate and become the founder of a sect."
“If one enters the state of Zhan Sui, he can be called a great power of heaven and earth, and is rare in the world.”
"As for the highest realm, Tongtian Realm, once you step into it, you will become a rare earthly immortal. This realm is the pinnacle of the human world. Apart from the legendary ascension to heaven, there is nothing else to pursue."
"There are seven realms of heaven and man, each of which is a natural chasm, and each realm has blocked countless geniuses. It's like climbing a mountain, with each peak higher than the other. Anyone can be called a master, but there will always be someone who is better than you."
Li Chu was quite shocked when he heard this.
It turns out that the world of cultivators is so vast.
Another curiosity arose in his mind.
"Master, I dare to ask a question." He asked tentatively: "Master, what realm are you in now?"
"The realm of your teacher?" Yu Qian'an smiled mysteriously and said, "Guess?"
"Master has done so many earth-shattering deeds in his early years, so he must be at least... a Dragon Transformation Realm, right?"
Li Chu didn't dare to guess too high, for fear that Yu Qian'an would lose face, so he started guessing from a realm that he thought was relatively low for a master.
Yu Qian'an smiled and shook his head.
"Could it be Wanxiang?" Li Chu asked again.
Yu Qian'an kept smiling and shook his head.
"Could it be that Master has already reached the state of Zhan Sui?" Li Chu's eyes sparkled.
Yu Qian'an laughed again and shook his head.
"Ah..." Li Chu was very excited, "Master has already reached... the Tongtian realm, a land immortal?!"
"Haha." Yu Qian'an laughed, and just when Li Chu thought he had guessed right, he shook his head again.
"Huh?"
Li Chu was very confused. None of these were the case. If his master was only a cultivator in the first three realms, how could he have such grace and demeanor?
Yu Qian'an had a noncommittal expression on his face. He stared at Li Chu and gave him that familiar, unfathomable smile.
This smile made Li Chu a little confused, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
The air was quiet for a while, and then Yu Qian'an said slowly: "When we practice cultivation, we cultivate our state of mind, not our physical state. If we are obsessed with cultivation, what is the use of moving mountains and seas? Disciple, don't be attached to appearances."
Li Chu nodded quickly and said, "Disciple understands."
In fact, he didn't understand at all.
He only understood one thing, that is, the master's realm was definitely not something he could estimate!
