Chapter 254 How Big Are the Five Continents and Four Seas?
Jingsi Residence.
A small courtyard of a hundred feet in radius.
The second time Shen Ping stepped into this place, the mysterious tranquility made all his distracting thoughts disappear. The moment he raised his eyes slightly, he noticed that the chief hall master in palace dress was bending over and standing in a corner not far away.
See here.
He hurried forward and stopped three meters away from the figure in palace dress. Then he could see clearly that this was actually a medicinal garden. However, strangely, he could not smell the medicinal fragrance of any spiritual plants, nor could he sense the abundant spiritual energy emanating from it.
"Disciple Shen Ping greets Master!"
No excessive daydreaming.
He bowed.
The figure in palace dress did not respond. She seemed to be concentrating on watering each spiritual plant with spiritual water. After a full cup of tea, she turned around and her dignified and virtuous face came into Shen Ping's sight.
A warm sound soon sounded.
"Disciple, do you recognize these spiritual plants?"
Hearing this.
Shen Ping couldn't help but look carefully at the dozens of spiritual plants in front of him. Ever since his spiritual consciousness broke through the Nascent Soul stage, he had been learning various miscellaneous skills from all over the world very quickly. For example, it only took him a few months to memorize all kinds of natural treasures, flowers, birds, insects, and beasts in his sea of consciousness.
After all, these common sense and knowledge of cultivation are very important for monks, especially those who delve into skills, who need to be familiar with distinguishing various things in cultivation.
But no matter how he searched the memory of spiritual plants in his sea of consciousness, he could not recognize them.
"Master."
"My disciple is dull and ignorant, and I don't recognize this kind of spiritual plant."
Shen Ping showed a look of shame. He was indeed not good at this. Although he had specially practiced memorization, the five continents and four seas were so vast that many rare spiritual plants had never been recorded.
The figure in palace dress smiled and said nonchalantly, "You have only been practicing for a short time, so you naturally have seen and heard very little. This is normal. As for the spiritual plants planted in the courtyard... not to mention you, even other main hall-level cultivators would have difficulty identifying them."
Speaking of.
She walked out of the medicine garden and sat down beside the stone platform. She looked sideways at Shen Ping who was following closely behind her and continued, "Each of those spiritual plants is a fairy grass, containing a huge amount of fairy spirit. If a Yuanying cultivator absorbs a breath of it, his life span can be extended by a thousand years."
"Magic grass?!"
Shen Ping was a little confused.
Even though he was mentally prepared and guessed that these spiritual plants must be rare, he never thought that they would be immortal herbs! A smile appeared on her dignified and virtuous face in her palace dress. She did not say anything, but looked at Shen Ping quietly, as if waiting for him to come back to his senses from the shock.
After dozens of breaths.
Shen Ping finally reacted. Even though there was something mysterious about the ground in the courtyard, many thoughts were still running through his mind.
Magic grass!
It is extremely rare for one of these spiritual plants to appear in the Five Continents and Four Seas, but Jingsi House has dozens of them. The meaning of this is self-evident. It is obvious that the Zhenbao Tower has an extraordinary background, and the Five Continents and Four Seas is by no means an ordinary world of cultivation.
Originally, based on the information and experience from his previous life, he thought that the five continents and four seas were a prosperous world for cultivating immortals where it was relatively easy to practice. After all, in this world, becoming a god was not too rare.
But now it seems.
I'm afraid the five continents and four seas are closely related to the higher-level fairy world.
Think of this.
He suddenly realized.
Ever since he became a core member of Zhenbao Tower, he has always had doubts in his heart. Zhenbao Tower is obviously just a trading company, so why does it have such rich and powerful resources that even other top sects in Zhongshengzhou cannot compare to it?
Especially the restricted items, any one of them can make a cultivator undergo a fundamental transformation, making cultivation easier. For example, the Blood Infant Crystal, even if a cultivator with ordinary qualifications has it as an aid, the chance of condensing an infant will be greatly improved!
This is totally against the common sense of spiritual practice.
After all, the higher the level of cultivation, the more difficult it is to break through the bottleneck, and the corresponding resources required become more scarce.
The Nascent Soul level is a huge threshold.
But in Zhenbao Building.
This threshold has been lowered too much.
Even though Zhongsheng Continent is rich in spiritual energy and various spiritual medicines and mineral materials, the number of cultivators at the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and even Divine Transformation stages should not be so large.
Until now.
The doubts in my mind were finally somewhat resolved.
Even fairy grass can be cultivated.
Those restricted items are naturally nothing.
It is difficult for low-level monks to break through. In addition to the limitations of qualifications and talents, the most important thing is actually resources. In the previous life, pigs standing on the wind can fly. If ordinary people are given enough resources, even if they cannot reach certain heights, they can still achieve something.
Not to mention the core members of Zhenbao Tower who have outstanding talents and qualifications.
With sufficient resource supply.
Their chances of breaking through to the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and God Transformation stages will definitely increase.
call.
After enlightenment.
Shen Ping took a deep breath, suppressed his thoughts, looked at the palace dress, bowed and said: "My disciple lost his composure, please forgive me, Master!"
The chief hall master smiled and said, "If other cultivators suddenly heard about immortal herbs and spiritual plants, they would also be shocked and lose their minds. It is already very good that you can come back to your senses so quickly."
As she spoke, she waved her white jade hand, "No need to be so polite, sit down."
"Yes, Master."
Half sitting on the stone bench.
The chief hall master said again: "You come to see me this time. If you have any doubts, just tell me."
Shen Ping's face straightened, and he briefly recounted the matter of his own golden elixir. At the same time, he whispered, "Master, I have just studied puppetry for a short time, and I am far from meeting the conditions for personal instruction. But I was suddenly promoted to personal instruction. I wonder if it has something to do with the golden elixir I formed?"
The chief hall master nodded and said, "Indeed, there is a connection. The golden elixir you formed is the legendary beast pattern golden elixir. It has great potential in the future. That is why the master directly accepted you as his personal disciple."
Beast pattern golden elixir!
Shen Ping looked surprised.
He had heard the Mountain Fire Palace Master say that this level of golden elixir was said to be the strongest elixir pattern, but it had never appeared in the world. At that time, he just thought it was a pie in the sky made by the Mountain Fire Palace Master to motivate him to practice hard.
But now, he actually condensed the beast-patterned golden elixir.
"The beast pattern golden elixir is very magical. It has many mysteries. Not only can it make the cultivator's magic power strong and powerful, but it will also increase the speed of cultivation day by day. In the future, there will be no more obstacles to the many bottlenecks of cultivation such as the Nascent Soul and the God Transformation!"
The gentle voice continued to ring in my ears: "The most important thing is that once the beast pattern golden elixir is condensed, absorbing the essence of the blood of the strange beast will transform and give birth to a ray of strange beast power. This kind of power contains the true power of heaven and earth. It can change the root bone qualification and comprehension talent of the cultivator."
Speaking of this.
The chief hall master's eyes lit up slightly, and there was a hint of expectation in his gentle voice, "And if the cultivators who possess the power of strange beasts comprehend the "Beast Sutra", not only will they not be affected in the slightest, but they will be able to comprehend the artistic conception of strange beasts more easily."
"The condition for becoming a true successor is to inherit the Beast Scripture. Now that you have condensed the Beast Pattern Golden Core, you are naturally the most suitable successor!"
I see!
It turned out that the ray of red-gold light in his dantian was actually the power of a strange beast. This power could even change his understanding and talent.
That being said, he was able to comprehend half of the basic combinations of the Puppet Beast Sutra in a short period of time, all because of the power of the strange beast.
After understanding this.
Shen Ping quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Master, for clearing up my doubts."
The chief hall master looked at Shen Ping and said, "Teaching and answering questions is what a teacher should do. Now that you have become my direct disciple, you can come directly to this academy if you have any questions in the future."
She flipped her wrist.
The ancient purple jade ring is suspended.
Then the fingertips waved.
The purple jade ring flashed with fluorescence and fell in front of Shen Ping.
"If you pour your magic power into this ring, you can instantly reach Jingsi Residence no matter where you are in the world..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ping couldn't help but confirm: "Master, if I am in a remote area of Nanyanzhou, can I also use this ring to reach Jingsi Residence in an instant?"
Although the chief hall master is a powerful cultivator standing at the top of the five continents and four seas, he should not have any doubts, but the power of this magic weapon is too strong.
If it is true.
Then when he is in danger in the future, as long as he is not killed instantly, won't he be able to escape and come to the headquarters immediately? ! The chief hall master nodded with a smile, "As long as you are in the five continents and four seas, you will not be affected even if you encounter a trap."
Hearing this.
Shen Ping couldn't help but reveal a look of joy in the corners of his eyes.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This purple jade ring is really a powerful treasure that can save lives! Compared to it.
The armor that the master gave me before is much inferior to it.
After putting away.
He thanked him quickly.
The chief hall master smiled with a dignified and virtuous face and said, "Disciple, what other doubts do you have?"
"There are no more disciples..."
The words came to my lips.
But Shen Ping suddenly swallowed it back.
He looked at the purple jade ring in his hand, and thought of the armor and the storage ring that concealed his aura, as well as the many restricted resources enjoyed by himself and his wives, concubines and fellow Taoist companions, and the immortal herbs and spiritual plants before... There is gain and loss in everything.
The fact that Zhenbao Tower can cultivate immortal herbs shows how powerful its background is. Such a force is so devoted to its cultivation, definitely not just for the sake of passing on the Beast Sutra.
For a cultivator to cultivate immortality is to act against the will of heaven.
Most of them are for themselves.
The sects and families who practice Taoism are all competing for resources and pursuing immortality. Even if they are blood relatives, they will not spend a lot of effort to cultivate others.
Think about this.
Shen Ping raised his eyes, bowed his hands and asked seriously: "Master, if I inherit the Beast Scripture, I wonder what kind of responsibilities I will have to bear in the future?!"
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
This is especially true in this world of cultivation where intrigue, cruelty and difficulty are the main focus.
He enjoyed the preferential treatment of various resources of Zhenbaolou.
Something has to be given.
He had been mentally prepared for this, but now that he had become a direct disciple and had this opportunity, he really wanted to know what he needed to do so that he could prepare in advance.
The chief hall master obviously did not expect Shen Ping to ask such a question.
She was silent for a moment.
The smile on her dignified and virtuous face gradually disappeared, and she became calm. Her gentle voice seemed to carry a hint of heaviness, "You, really want to know?"
Shen Ping kept bowing.
His face was extremely serious as he continued, "Please tell me, Master!"
The chief hall master stood up and took a step forward, standing almost in front of Shen Ping. The texture of her fair skin was clearly visible, and her eyes under her eyebrows revealed an inexplicable light. She stared at Shen Ping for dozens of breaths before she spoke softly, "It's not good for you to know the future too early... It may even affect your Tao heart and make it difficult for you to make any progress in your life!"
Shen Ping's eyes were clear, and he said again: "Disciple wants to know."
Seeing that my disciple is so determined.
The chief hall master suddenly smiled, she slowly raised her fingertips, then lightly tapped Shen Ping's brow, and then a majestic and vast aura swept over.
Before Shen Ping could react, his spiritual consciousness penetrated his body.
After coming to your senses.
I suddenly found myself standing on the first level of the trial assessment space.
All around was an endless expanse of dark, rocky land.
But the rugged rocks are gone.
"Disciple."
"The matters involved in inheriting the Beast Scripture are too complicated... But since you want to know, I will tell you everything today."
When a warm voice comes from your ears.
Shen Ping soon discovered that his spiritual body was constantly floating upwards. The space on the first layer of dark rocky earth was getting smaller and smaller. Almost in the blink of an eye, he arrived at the second layer, the third layer... the ninth layer.
The continuous mountain range lay before my eyes, and then became smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The figure in palace dress standing beside him turned his head and asked, "Disciple, do you know how big the five continents and four seas are?"
Shen Ping looked at the trial space environment that kept passing by in front of him and shook his head, "Disciple doesn't know."
The five continents and four seas are extremely vast.
The territory of Nanyanzhou alone is far larger than in the previous life.
Although he is a core technical genius in Zhenbao Tower, he is not clear about the area of the five continents and four seas, and there is no record of it in the treasure house.
Her black hair fluttered in the palace dress, and her clothes moved in the wind. She raised her sleeves and waved her white fingertips.
The layers of trial space suddenly passed by faster and faster.
Until the two of them stood on the top floor.
The surrounding environment gradually became clear.
Wait for a moment to calm down and take a look.
Shen Ping's pupils suddenly shrank. The layers of trial space beneath his feet had completely become nothingness at this moment, and the outline of a huge world at the bottom was slowly reflected in front of his eyes. Nanyanzhou, Beiyuzhou... Zhongshengzhou, and many densely packed islands like stars were presented so clearly.
"This is the five continents and four seas. They are vast and boundless, yet they are small and confined to a small area."
A gentle sound fell into my ears.
Shen Ping's heart was suddenly filled with shock.
He gazed at the prosperous world of cultivation beneath his feet, and all kinds of thoughts emerged in his mind. Having experienced a vast amount of information in his previous life, even though he had a strong ability to accept information, he couldn't help but feel unbelievable at this moment.
After all, in the sixty years of practice, he knew that the five continents and four seas were a vast world of practice, with countless cultivators and mortals, as well as many bizarre monsters and creatures. However, such a prosperous place of practice was actually just a world of magic weapons.
For a long while.
Shen Ping came back to his senses from the shock of the scene before his eyes. He took several deep breaths, then bowed and asked: "Master, even the ancient spiritual treasures can hardly derive a world, and the Five Continents and Four Seas are so vast that they can accommodate and derive such a world. Could it be that the space of this Trial Tower is..."
“It’s called Kyushu Tower.”
The shadow of a white jade tower floated in the palm of the woman in the palace dress, and nostalgia welled up in her eyes. "It is the most precious treasure of our human race. The five continents and four seas it gave birth to are the cultivation worlds created by the great powers of the human race in imitation of the prosperous nine continents of the immortal way."
"Its main function is to suppress strange beasts."
