Chapter 2140 The Great Jindan Tribulation
Subsequently, Wen Rensheng continued to imprison Zhang San and others.
Then it stayed closed.
10 years, 20 years...
While being imprisoned, I learned from their mouths all kinds of knowledge in the cultivation society.
From basic cultivation techniques, to social forms, humanistic customs, cultural characteristics, craftsmanship and technology...
In short, he is willing to accept all kinds of knowledge and sort out and identify them one by one.
At the same time, I continued to find people to practice the exercises they mentioned, and finally determined a set of basically correct methods.
Only after hearing Rensheng did he begin to practice spiritually.
If anything goes wrong, stop immediately and experiment a lot.
He had plenty of time anyway.
However, in the 40th year, the aging Zhang San suddenly told him something.
“One mistake made me hate you for a hundred years, and when I look back I am already dying.”
“However, you don’t have to be complacent. Do you think it will be safe if you keep hiding?”
< br>“The evergreen pine trees in the green mountains, every few years, are still struck by lightning, blown by wind, and bitten by insects...”
"In another five hundred years, a great catastrophe will occur in the entire world of cultivation."
"It is known as the Golden Core Tribulation. This is a cultivation catastrophe that cycles every thousand years."
"You Even if you hide it, you can't escape it, because when the time comes, the Golden Pills will do everything possible to search for all kinds of treasures, and those who have been missed will also be found by them!"
"Hahaha!"
"Even if you live for a few hundred more years, your efforts will be useless in the end, and you will still end up with the same end as me!"
Wen Rensheng didn't panic after hearing this.
He felt familiar as soon as he heard it.
This is similar to the 300-year cycle of cultivation in a mortal dynasty.
I didn’t expect that the world of cultivation also has a 1,000-year cycle.
It can only be said that this is the disadvantage of the small-scale peasant economy.
The economy of cultivating immortals has reached a peak, and if the cycle stops moving, it will burst.
He had read many history books before.
Zhang San did not make things out of thin air. Indeed, every thousand years, there will be records of various natural disasters in mortal dynasties.
However, these records are very fragmented, and many have been burned and banned.
Obviously the Immortal Sect doesn’t want mortals to know too clearly.
However, given the technological level of mortals in this world, which is still in the feudal medieval period, events over 2,000 years ago are only vaguely recorded.
Then he asked: "Why is there a golden elixir tribulation once every 1,000 years? What does it mean?"
"Haha, it's very simple. The life span of the golden elixir is about 1,000 years. Under normal circumstances, people who worship the Immortal Sect come in batches, and most of the people who can form golden elixirs appear in batches."
"Every thousand years, that is. When a group of golden elixirs died of old age, they wanted to fight hard before they died."
"Aren't there still Yuan Ying ancestors?" Wen Rensheng asked casually.
"Hmph, at this time, the ancestors of the Nascent Soul stage will also hide themselves by default and not care about the world."
"Because a self-destructing golden elixir can harm their foundation Nascent Soul. "
"Under normal circumstances, a hundred golden elixirs can't deal with a Yuanying ancestor, but a golden elixir that has lived for a thousand years, coupled with self-destruction, is enough to make the Yuanying ancestor retreat."< br>
"What will those desperate Jindan people do?" Wen Rensheng asked again.
“You should know about this issue. What they did is the same as what I did before.”
Zhang San said crazily, "Scarch everywhere, looking for various evil techniques, desperately extending life, regardless of everything, exterminating humanity, eating its flesh and blood, replenishing the foundation..."
"By then, people like you will The treasure of the world is definitely the thing that the Golden Pills want most and want to snatch. You will die a hundred times more miserable than me!"
After Zhang San finished speaking, he tilted his head and died in the cage. .
Silent and silent.
A cultivator, a beginner, died in the hands of an ordinary, ordinary mortal.
Wen Rensheng understood.
500 years to go.
It would be best if you can break through to the Golden Elixir stage.
If you can't break through, then you need to hide yourself deep underground like a treasure hiding itself.
Thank the earth for hiding so many treasures.
It allowed the ancients to preserve many precious cultural relics for thousands of years under crude technical conditions, and finally revealed them to the world.
He was indifferent to Zhang San's death of old age.
He just asked the other captured old casual cultivators.
They all said that there is such a situation, a disaster that will happen once in a thousand years.
However, the time is not fixed, it may be decades in advance, or it may be delayed by decades.
Hearing what they said made Wen Rensheng even more convinced that it was true.
Because this is the same as the 300-year cycle rate. In fact, many dynasties are not so lucky and can last for 300 years.
Most of them were due to their own efforts. They lost a few decades to more than 300 years. They were the early dynasties before the land was fully developed.
For example, Xia, Shang, Zhou and Han, few subsequent dynasties were so lucky.
From this point of view, every sect will suffer from this thousand-year golden elixir calamity.
At that time, the sect will be reshuffled and resources will be reallocated.
Which golden elixir is crazy enough will have more say.
If anyone accepts his fate and wants to survive for the last few decades, burdened by his family, reputation, and temperament, he will not be able to make trouble.
But the majority are still obsessed with obsession.
Think about ordinary people. Most old people struggle as much as possible before death. In order to live for a few more months, they throw their whole life's accumulation into the ICU.
From this rule, we can know what the powerful golden elixir will do.
Will they be willing to wait for death and give their resources to future generations?
There will be people like that, but they will be few.
Wen Rensheng believes that more of them may be suppressed and banned in advance by Yuanying Ancestor and young Jindan.
Prevent them from going crazy.
Then the few who were not banned came out, which led to disaster.
After all, their magical power is too great. Even if only 5% of the dying golden elixir escapes, it will cause a catastrophe.
Destruction is much easier than construction.
A golden elixir is just a walking little mushroom.
Wen Rensheng also realized something.
He can't catch any more casual cultivators.
The more he catches, the higher his probability of making a mistake.
The easier it is for my identity as a human treasure to be spread.
After all, if you walk too much at night, you will eventually get hit.
The greater the likelihood of exposure.
He had long known the greatest danger to immortality.
Those are force majeure factors such as meteorites, volcanoes, earthquakes, and wars.
What Wen Rensheng can avoid now is war.
The most practical way to avoid war is to dig holes.
He decided to start digging a hole.
Still in the mountains, digging with your own hands.
If you dig ten meters in one year, you can dig five thousand meters in 500 years.
A cave five thousand meters deep.
He believed that the Jindan Patriarch could not see him underground even when he came.
He left everything behind, took the big lobster and found a stone mountain to live in.
Live and dig down at the same time.
This will prevent flooding.
Will magma be dug under five thousand meters?
Probably not.
He has carefully read some geological miscellaneous notes about this world, and the magma formations are also very deep.
Then his daily life became fixed.
Practice every day, dig holes, store water, food, dried vegetables...
The Changchun Gong he practices.
After 50 years.
Finally got started.
It was really not easy, it took almost 400 years.
This is when I started to practice to the level of Qi refining.
I am afraid that if this speed spreads, many people will be frightened.
But it doesn’t matter.
Some people have never cultivated to immortality in several lifetimes.
So Wen Rensheng didn't care at all.
He casually told the lobster in front of him the exercises he had compiled and practiced.
What left him speechless was that it took only three days for Big Lobster to reach the first level of cultivation.
Three floors in three months.
No teacher has yet learned a magical power: the art of contraction.
It can transform its body into the size of a scorpion or the size of a millstone.
Wen Rensheng was not depressed at all.
I didn’t feel that I was inferior to a shrimp.
Because he had known that this shrimp had magical powers. He was a turtle in the early years...
"Big lobster, can you cook?"
On this day, Wen Rensheng had just dug a half-meter-long cave and suddenly asked.
Mainly because he thought of the story of a snail girl.
The big lobster quietly got into the corner and lay down.
Forget it, it’s better not to think about that kind of good thing.
At least I have a companion. It would be nice to be with you all the time. After that, it was just a matter of continuing to practice, continue digging holes, and store food.
In this way, one hundred years have passed, and two hundred years have passed...
The previous dynasty finally changed.
I heard that there was a plague and the royal family had no descendants.
Normally, the Immortal Sect would not let this happen.
However, Xianmen didn't care.
Wen Rensheng guessed that it might be related to dealing with the Golden Core Tribulation.
Immortals can’t control themselves, so why should they care about what your mortal dynasty does?
So just when the other clans were competing for the throne, another large family emerged with talents, rose up through hard work, and was able to endure hardships and stand hard work, and won the throne.
Then worship the previous immortal gate and offer offerings as before.
The Immortal Sect didn’t come out to take care of it either.
So it went on like this.
Some people say that the emperor will have many children.
But in fact, there are quite a few emperors in this family.
It’s okay to have the intervention of immortals. Without immortals, it would be a simple feudal era.
In the feudal era, there were many emperors without children.
We had to let Xiaozong succeed to the throne.
Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty is the most famous one.
Wen Rensheng naturally avoided this dynastic turmoil.
And now he has cultivated to the third level of Qi Refining.
The potential of this Changchun Gong has reached its peak.
If he wants to break through the third level, he has to find some more monks.
He thought for a moment, and there were still a hundred years before the Jindan catastrophe.
It is better to be quiet than to move.
After all, he is a cultivator, and he can see that he is extraordinary.
Unless you have reached the Nascent Soul stage, you are not suitable to be exposed to others.
The best way for him now is to find a clone or make a puppet to act.
There is such a method, but it can only be practiced at the golden elixir stage.
Firstly, the materials are difficult to find, and secondly, the soul needs to be cut.
In this way, you can cross distances and act remotely.
It is far from something that can be learned by practicing the third level.
The second way is to find an agent, a mortal, to help you act.
Teach the other party martial arts and let the other party catch the casual cultivators.
But mortals have ambitions.
As long as you want to control the other party, there will be resistance.
Just as Wen Rensheng was weighing the pros and cons,
his good luck came.
This day.
The big lobster crawled back from outside.
The journey up and down is several kilometers.
Lobster handed him an ancient book.
Wen Rensheng took a closer look and found that it was the complete copy of Changchun Gong.
And you can practice until you reach the golden elixir stage.
He looked at the lobster again.
He had nothing to say for a moment.
All right.
He has been planning hard for hundreds of years to obtain the cultivation method.
As a result, the other party brought it to him easily.
Isn’t it fair?
It’s actually quite fair.
You're just a wage earner, and you've worked hard all your life, but it's not enough for the boss to earn in one night.
Isn’t this a common thing?
This is what happens most often in the real world.
It is abnormal that something that you think will take you hundreds of years to accomplish will also take others hundreds of years.
It's better now. Wen Rensheng can continue to practice in peace and contentment.
Every day has become very simple again.
It means digging holes to practice and store food.
Then talk to the big lobster.
The big lobster also enjoys this kind of life.
Now, Wen Rensheng doesn’t go out anymore.
He buried as much as he began to dig.
Only a closed space is left.
He is already a cultivator and can live on spiritual energy and does not need oxygen.
Looking from the outside, there are no traces of the cave.
The food reserves are enough for him to last for 100 years.
If you don't go out, you will always practice in the cave.
Wen Rensheng felt that he was very powerful. Even if he was left alone like this, he didn't even feel the decline of his language function.
I didn’t even feel like I was going crazy.
But most people definitely cannot do this.
Anyway, I just talk to the big lobster every day.
The big lobster has become quite smart now.
You can actually write on the ground.
Wen Rensheng asked it casually: "Do you want to go out?"
The big lobster wrote on the stone wall: "No."
"Okay, let's The two are really a pair," Wen Rensheng said casually.
At this moment, the stone wall suddenly shook.
In the next few days, Wen Rensheng often heard various vibrations coming from the stone wall.
It seems that there is a war going on outside.
Wen Rensheng didn’t know the specific situation, so he continued to wait.
He just felt what was happening in the outside world through the shaking of the stone wall.
He believed that there might be no one alive like him.
It is indeed just alive.
Darkness.
Fortunately, he is a cultivator and can read books with the help of the dim light radiated from the stone wall.
Besides practicing digging holes every day, I just read various ancient books.
Pick up all the music, chess, calligraphy and painting, poems, songs, couplets and so on...
Play games occasionally.
If you have nothing to do, teach Big Lobster, and the lost language ability is back.
The big lobster is not interested in poetry and songs, but he is very interested in horse hanging, mahjong, and leaf tiles...
This makes Wen Rensheng often teach it: "You have to do something Only high-end and interesting shrimps.”
As he expected, the outside world did not affect him.
And he has been practicing from the first level of Qi Refining to the ninth level of Qi Refining.
Then comes the tenth level of Qi training.
It’s Dzogchen again.
Then he reached a bottleneck.
No matter how hard you practice, you can't make any progress.
It seems that you need to break through the foundation building before you can continue to practice.
He heard that a breakthrough requires boiled eggs.
In his situation, it would take about ten to eight hard-boiled eggs.
So Wen Rensheng looked for his own food and found hundreds of old salted eggs.
He thought for a while, there should be no distinction between salty and bland boiled eggs.
However, it seems to be very difficult to obtain boiled eggs from the outside world.
Of course it is also related to different worlds.
But it seems to be very difficult in this world.
But he saw that the big lobster did not seem to have such a bottleneck, and it broke through smoothly.
He ate his first hard-boiled egg without a breakthrough.
I ate the second one, but it still didn’t work.
Fifty years later, he ate another one, but it still didn’t work.
At this time, the big lobster's cultivation level has reached the golden elixir stage again.
My dear, this big lobster has become golden elixir after five hundred years.
He is still a perfect Qi refiner.
Wait, as long as you deceive yourself, you are still eighteen.
Then it’s not useless.
Eighteen-year-old Yuan Cheng is an extremely talented person. Even Tianlinggen does not have such qualifications.
He suddenly had a feeling that the strength of the big lobster seemed to be increasing with time.
When the time comes, the big lobster will be able to achieve any strength.
A bit like the sleeping dragon bloodline of the West.
Sleeping increases strength.
This is a bit too different from myself.
