He then slowly flipped through the "Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture", because it was written in traditional characters and had many rare words that needed to be asked of Gong Nanbai, so when he completely understood the first layer of cultivation method, the moon had already risen to mid-air.
These six rounds of reincarnation are actually the most difficult to cultivate in the first layer, but as long as you pass through the first layer, the next few layers will be relatively mild. For example, the second layer is just that the cultivator is always hungry and can't get enough to eat.
However, Gong Nanbai told Guan Yu that since ancient times, many outstanding cultivators have cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture, but all of them were stuck on the first layer.
The Hell Path can be said to be the most terrifying of the Six Paths and must be treated with caution!
After Guan Yu figured out the acupoints on his body, he didn't rush to practice, but instead decided to rest. After all, today's events were too many, and his energy was depleted.
The next morning, Guan Yu heard a gentle zither sound and woke up immediately. After washing up, he came out of the thatched cottage and saw Gong Nianbai already sitting in front of the zither, playing it. When he saw Guan Yu come out, he just smiled slightly but didn't say anything.
Guan Yu walked up to Palace South White and bowed slightly, then sat down on the mat and took out the Six Paths of Reincarnation Scripture again to carefully read it once more.
He must make sufficient preparations, after all, practicing this skill is extremely dangerous, if he is careless, he may lose his life.
During his stay in the palace, he did not disturb him, but quietly played the piano. The sound of the piano could calm people's minds and clear their heads, which was very beneficial for cultivators.
Finally, at noon, Guan Yu entered a state of cultivation, and his entire being became inwardly focused. However, the truth is that cultivating immortality isn't such a simple matter; for an entire day, Guan Yu was unable to even enter the gate, let alone experience the so-called first layer of suffering.
Gong Nanbai did not give Guan Yu any opinion on this. Cultivating immortality and practicing the Tao has always been led by a master, and cultivation relies on personal effort. The master only plays a guiding role, and if Guan Yu goes astray in his practice, he will correct him then.
Actually, Guan Yu is now facing a situation that every cultivator must face, which is that it's hard to get started.
Cultivation has three difficulties and six tribulations. The three difficulties are difficulty in entering the gate, difficulty in making progress, and difficulty in maintaining one's practice.
The difficulty of entry is just at the beginning, feeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. You yourself have no experience, so it's very difficult to feel, that's why it's hard to enter.
Bottleneck difficulty is when you're practicing and always encounter bottlenecks, at that time it's hard to break through, almost no progress can be made, so it's called bottleneck difficulty.
Finally, it is difficult to cultivate, and cultivating immortality is not a matter of one day or one night. It requires persistence, but this world of temptation is too great, and many cultivators have deviated from the right path, ultimately becoming evil demons and heretics.
Among the three difficulties, entering the door is the easiest one, only requiring time and persistence to break through, so it doesn't need to be emphasized.
It's okay, Guan Yu is not the kind of person who gives up easily. If once doesn't work, then twice, if twice doesn't work, then three times. Finally, after a week of cultivation, he began to feel the spiritual energy, but as the spiritual energy grew, he gradually started to feel changes in his body!
According to the Six Paths of Reincarnation Scripture, as he cultivated, his body gradually turned red and sweat began to seep from his forehead.
At first, Guan Yu thought it was just hot, but gradually it became scorching!
The Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra has a total of eighteen levels in the first layer, with one cycle of reincarnation every nine levels. He is currently still in a relatively mild state, but as his powers increase, he will only become more and more miserable.
However, even so, Guan Yu was not feeling well at this time. He felt that his body was being burned in a furnace, and he was extremely hot all over. If he didn't have some fire resistance, he would probably have fainted by now.
Half a day later, he finally stopped absorbing the spiritual energy, and his whole body was paralyzed on the ground, panting heavily. What's frightening is that the temperature of the air he panted out was extremely high, and the small grass on the ground was directly scorched to death.
"You are now being burned by the Revival Hellfire of the Eight Great Hells, but in fact, this Revival Hellfire is just ordinary fire, and it's relatively mild. You've only just started cultivating, your powers are still shallow, so you haven't felt the true horror of hell yet." Palace South White smiled as he said this, but his words were actually meant to be encouraging for Guan Yu, because if one prepares their mind beforehand, the chances of passing through would be higher.
Guan Yu listened and his heart skipped a beat, but then he gritted his teeth and walked towards the thatched cottage.
The hut has a self-contained space inside, incredibly large, and there is a clear spring in the bathroom. He has been taking baths here every night these days.
He lay in the clear spring, his whole body relaxed, and his fatigue was slowly relieved. After resting for over ten minutes, he put on his Taoist robe and left the thatched cottage. The rush cushion had been replaced with a new one by Gong Nanbai because it had been soaked through with sweat after his recent cultivation.
"How does it feel to have succeeded in your first cultivation?" Gong Nanbai asked with a smile, looking at Guan Yu.
Guan Yu thought for a moment and said: "The spiritual energy is very mysterious, it seems to change into different properties according to the differences in one's mental state."
"Hmm, being able to understand this point is not bad." said Miyabi with a satisfied smile.
At first, he spent three whole days after entering the door to realize this truth. The spiritual energy itself has no properties, and what is called property is actually changed by the method of work.
Then Gong Nanbai assigned Guan Yu homework, requiring him to practice the "Six Paths Reincarnation Sutra" for four hours every day. The rest of his time was spent learning various skills essential for cultivators.
For example, magic spells, talismans, alchemy, array formation, beast taming, elixir refinement, and sword techniques.
Gong Nanbai lived for too long and was almost omniscient, while Guan Yu was like a sapling, constantly absorbing nutrients from Gong Nanbai.
A month later, Guan Yu's entire person had undergone a tremendous change in spirit and energy.
If a month ago he was an unsheathed sword, now he is like a sheathed sword, with the whole person being polished into a round outside and square inside.
In fact, people will unconsciously imitate the words and deeds of those who are better than themselves. Guan Yu was influenced by Gong Nanbai, and his whole temperament changed a lot.
If he was a proud lone wolf before, now he is a lazy lion king. When not making a move, the whole person looks very harmonious, but if he makes a move, it will be earth-shattering!
Guan Yu also discovered that Gong Nanbai's gentle and elegant demeanor was only his usual expression, in fact, Gong Nanbai was quite arrogant, it's just that he had lived for too long, this arrogance had been ground down from a sharp cone to an iron bead, if you didn't touch it, you could hardly feel the arrogance.
Guan Yu is now also starting to calm his mind and cultivate his nature. Since he has decided to practice the Tao, he should at least have the demeanor of a cultivator.
Moreover, in this one month, Guan Yu has lost a lot of weight. Probably people who are familiar with him will be stunned when they see him, because he now looks really too refined, like a white-faced scholar.
It's worth mentioning that after he entered the Xianmen, his attribute panel had an additional skill bar, named Xianshu skills, and it was unique. In other words, from then on, he couldn't learn any other system of power, whether it was magic, Dou Qi or other abilities, they were all out of his reach.
However, he didn't plan on learning magic or internal energy cultivation either. The Six Paths Reincarnation Scripture was enough for him to cultivate for several thousand years, and it also took up a lot of time.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra requires cultivation for four periods every day, with one period equivalent to two hours. That means he has to cultivate for eight hours every day!
Moreover, as Guan Yu's power increased, the suffering he endured also continued to increase, making it impossible for him to divert his attention to cultivate other techniques. The Six Paths Reincarnation Sutra was already enough for him to handle.
However, Guan Yu found that his fire resistance was slowly increasing during cultivation, so he endured the pain with pleasure.
He originally thought that the only way to enhance his flame resistance was through potential points or special medicines, but he didn't expect this technique to be effective as well. Moreover, he estimated that if he practiced it from start to finish, he might even be able to achieve immunity to fire-based attacks!
It was this discovery that made him attach more importance to his kung fu.
The days of cultivating immortality were ordinary and monotonous, in the blink of an eye another month had passed. Guan Yu's cultivation had improved significantly, he was now able to simply control his spiritual energy to emit flame attacks or manipulate flying swords for short-term flight.
"Little Rain, come here!"
One day after Guan Yu finished his training and had just washed up, he heard Gong Nanbai's summons. He put on his clothes and walked out of the thatched cottage.
"Master, what instructions do you have?" Guan Yu asked, sitting on the mat.
Gong Nan Bai looked at Guan Yu with a relieved expression and said, "In these two months, I have taught you all that I can. Now what you need is time. As the saying goes, 'the master leads the way, but cultivation depends on oneself.' In the future, you must ponder and understand your own path."
In fact, he has already laid the foundation for Guan Yu, and the knowledge system has also been completely imparted to Guan Yu. The only difference between Guan Yu and him is experience, cultivation, and realm.
But these three things can't be taught, and Guan Yu can only rely on himself to observe, experience, and comprehend.
Guan Yu didn't say anything, he just bowed three times to Gong Sun Zan and then was escorted out of the sword formation by Gong Sun Zan.
Although he was reluctant to see Guan Yu leave, Gong Nanbai knew that staying here would make it difficult for him to make a breakthrough and his progress would be slow.
Guan Yu stood outside the sword formation, and it wasn't until two hours later that he turned around to leave. For thousands of years, Gong Nanbai had been quite lonely, but for some reason, he was unwilling to leave this place. Guan Yu was happy to keep him company, but he also had things he needed to do.
"It's now the end of August, just right when Xianyi Island can be entered!" Guan Yu snapped his fingers and immediately knew the time, and then thought of a place that his master Gong Nanbai had mentioned before.
This Xian Legacy Island is actually a huge piece of floating land, with all sorts of terrifying and bizarre creatures on it. Even for cultivators with extremely deep cultivation, entering the Xian Legacy Island is extremely dangerous, with an extremely high probability of death.
However, at the beginning of September every year, the powerful creatures on Xianyi Island will mysteriously disappear for more than ten days, which is a good opportunity for cultivators to go treasure hunting.
Generally, all major sects will send their disciples to search for treasure, and with it comes the struggle between the righteous and evil paths.
Although Guan Yu has been cultivating for more than two months, his mental state has greatly improved, but he still hasn't forgotten that he is an earthling and this is a duplicate.
His most important task is to find a way to revive Toni!
