Chapter 137 Final Choice, Zhou Chun's Ambition [Subscription Request]

How can you practice martial arts if you can’t even understand the words?
Facing Zhou Chun's question, Zhou Daoyi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't understand these words now. The Zhou family has their translations. You can practice according to the translations when you practice."

"The main reason I brought you here today is to let you see these two instruments of Taoism, so that you can understand how truly precious inheritances are generally protected and passed down."

At this point, his expression changed again, and he looked at Zhou Chun solemnly and warned him earnestly: "And I also want to take this opportunity to warn you of one thing. In the future, don't practice anything you get from outside, whether it's a technique or a secret technique, lightly."

"You should know that many cultivators will deliberately compile precious top-level skills or secret cultivation methods into a book after deletion and carry it with them, so that if they are unfortunately killed by the enemy, they can still use it to harm the enemy!"

“Also, when you trade with or buy this kind of stuff from someone, you must also personally copy it from the Dao-carrying vessel and secret foil that they have, and carefully check in advance whether the Dao-carrying vessel is complete, whether it is an old item, and whether the Dao text on it has any traces of being pieced together!”

"You should know that some bad monks will deliberately repair some damaged instruments of the Way, or imitate instruments of the Way and sell them for profit!"

In fact, this knowledge was also mentioned in the "Detailed Explanation of Foundation Building" that Zhou Chun had read before.

However, that kind of literal knowledge is not as impressive as seeing the two instruments of truth with my own eyes today and listening to the instructions of the clan leader Zhou Daoyi in person.

Zhou Chun was also shocked when he heard his warning. He nodded solemnly and said, "I understand. I will definitely keep in mind what the clan leader taught me today."

Seeing that he understood, Zhou Daoyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, now you can take these two instruments of the Dao and take a closer look. I will also explain to you the advantages and disadvantages of these two top-level skills so that you can choose for yourself."

As he spoke, he told Zhou Chun about the skills recorded on the two instruments of Taoism.

The skills recorded on the golden ancient tripod are called "Golden Tripod Mysterious Skills". There are eight chapters in total, divided into four inner chapters and four outer chapters.

Among them, the four inner chapters are methods of cultivation, corresponding to the four major realms of cultivation: foundation building, purple mansion, golden elixir, and primordial infant.

The outer four chapters are about ways to defend one's way and protect oneself, and they record how to practice magical powers and spells to defeat the enemy.

This technique does not require very high qualifications and talents from the practitioner, as long as the spiritual root attributes contain gold attributes.

But this does not mean that this technique is easy to practice.

Because in order to practice the "Golden Cauldron Mysterious Art", one first needs to absorb a large amount of pure gold energy, and use the magic power and gold energy to cast a "Dao Cauldron" in the Dantian. Future practice will also be based on this "Dao Cauldron".

The process of forging the "Dao Ding" is extremely dangerous, and it can easily damage the Dantian and meridians. Many monks who coveted the power of this technique have lost their lives because of practicing it so hard!
And even if the "Dao Ding" is forged, in the future practice process, it is necessary to frequently absorb gold energy to temper the "Dao Ding", and the quality requirements for the gold energy will become higher and higher.

At the same time, every time after a breakthrough to a great realm, the "Dao Ding" must be broken into pieces and recast. If the recasting fails at that time, not only will all the cultivation base turn to ashes, but the cultivator himself will also die!
Therefore, if one practices this technique, it means that the cultivator who practices it will not only have to bear the severe consequences of failure every time he breaks through a major realm.

Even if the breakthrough is successful, one still has to go through the life and death catastrophe of breaking the cauldron and rebuilding it!

Of course, the dangers and rewards are equal.

Not to mention the methods of defending the way and protecting the body recorded in the four chapters other than "The Mysterious Art of the Golden Tripod", even this art itself will bring great benefits once it is mastered.

The magic power gained through practicing "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art" contains rich gold power. This magic power can temper the body and make the body much stronger than ordinary cultivators of the same level. It is even possible for the body to withstand attacks from low-level magic weapons.

At the same time, this kind of magic power is extremely destructive and penetrating. Even if the magic power only invades other people's bodies, it is enough to make them suffer from the pain of being tortured to death, which is difficult to refine and eliminate.

The gold-based magic spells and magical instruments made of spiritual gold that are driven by this kind of magic power can increase the power of spells and magical instruments out of thin air!

Moreover, as long as you practice the first chapter of "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art" and forge the "Dao Tripod", you will be able to gain a very practical magical power called "Golden Tripod Mysterious Light". It is very powerful, and its power will continue to increase with the improvement of your cultivation level in the future, and you can benefit from it for the rest of your life!

Finally, the speed of improving magic power through "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art" is also very fast, and the progress of the practitioner will definitely not be delayed due to practicing this art.

The martial arts recorded on the emerald green bamboo slips is called "Wanmu Zhengong" and is divided into twelve levels. Every three levels correspond to a realm of cultivation. In addition, it also records several methods of defending the way and protecting the body.

This method does not require high qualifications from the practitioner, as long as the spiritual roots contain the wood attribute.

However, this method is very resource-intensive to practice!
The first level of cultivation requires one to find thirty spiritual trees of different natures, collect their essence and integrate it into magic power, and condense a "Tao Tree" in the sea of ​​​​qi. Future cultivation will also be based on this "Tao Tree".

The process of condensing "Dao Wood" is equally dangerous and may damage the Dantian and meridians, and there is even a risk of the body becoming "wood".

Many cultivators who coveted the power of this technique have been seriously injured or even killed as a result of practicing it too forcefully!

And even if the "Tao Wood" is condensed, in the future practice process, it is necessary to frequently collect the essence of all trees to temper the "Tao Wood", and the quality requirements for spiritual wood will become higher and higher.

Every time this technique breaks through a small realm, the practitioner needs to collect different numbers of spiritual wood essences of older years and integrate them into the "Tao Wood", just like when he first started.

If this is not achieved, it will be difficult to cultivate to the next level.

Even if a cultivator relies on some elixir or spiritual object to forcibly break through the realm, the power of the technique will not increase, and it may even cause the "Tao Wood" to collapse and the cultivation to be completely lost!

However, the benefits that "Wanmu Zhengong" brings to practitioners are also not small.

First of all, after this technique is mastered, the speed of practice will be very fast. Even if it is a practitioner with medium-grade spiritual root aptitude, the speed of practice can catch up with that of a practitioner with high-grade spiritual root aptitude who practices other ordinary techniques.

Secondly, after practicing this method, the magic power contains pure wood-attributed vitality, which nourishes the body, prolongs life and keeps youth forever.

At the same time, the recovery speed after injury will be many times faster than that of ordinary monks of the same level, and even the regeneration of broken limbs will be no problem!

The magic power cultivated in this way can greatly enhance the power of some wood-based spells and magical instruments made from spiritual wood when used to activate them.

Finally, even if one only successfully cultivates the first level of this technique, it can also bring with it two powerful magical powers: "Ten Thousand Trees Prison" and "Ten Thousand Trees Spirit Armor".

After introducing the basics of the two techniques to Zhou Chun, Zhou Daoyi concluded, "Of the two techniques, the Golden Tripod Mysterious Technique has a higher purpose, greater power, and has been passed down for a longer time. Very few people should know about it."

"Although the power of the Ten Thousand Trees True Art is not as great as the Golden Tripod Mysterious Art, it has lower cultivation requirements, is faster to cultivate, and is much less dangerous!"

At this point, he looked at Zhou Chun who was already listening intently, and after thinking for a while, he advised: "If I were you, I would definitely choose the Ten Thousand Trees True Art instead of the Golden Tripod Mysterious Art!"

Zhou Chun's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

But he did not rush to make a decision on the spot, but said to Zhou Daoyi: "Clan leader, can you bring the translations of these two skills to me for me to see?" "Of course, the translations are actually here."

As Zhou Daoyi spoke, he followed the same method and opened the protective shield on a stone platform.

I saw many jade books stored on the stone platform, which were actually large jade slips.

Zhou Daoyi raised his hand and took the two jade books in his hand and handed them to Zhou Chun.

"See for yourself!"

After saying that, he sat down cross-legged, waiting for Zhou Chun's choice.

Zhou Chun held the jade book in his hand and first read the practice method of "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art".

Compared to what Zhou Daoyi said, this method of cultivation describes in more detail the various hardships and dangers encountered during the cultivation process. Zhou Daoyi did not elaborate on many of the subtle hardships.

Of course, the above records of the power of the exercises and various methods of defending the way and protecting oneself are also more intuitive and detailed, which is really exciting!
Afterwards, Zhou Chun looked at the practice method of "Wanmu Zhengong".

Sure enough, the jade book that recorded the method of practicing "Wanmu Zhengong" also recorded many details that Zhou Daoyi had never mentioned.

One of the most important details is the amount and age of spiritual wood essences required to be integrated after each breakthrough of "Wanmu Zhengong".

According to the above description, to enter the first level, you only need to find thirty spiritual trees of ordinary years and different types and natures to lay the foundation.

However, when breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building and practicing the second level, one needs to find fifty spiritual trees that contain rich wood spirit essence to strengthen the practice, and it is best if the types and properties of the spiritual trees are different.

Because the more types of spiritual wood that are incorporated into "Ten Thousand Woods Art", the greater the strengthening effect it will have on this art.

Two cultivators who were also practicing the second level, one of them integrated fifty non-repetitive spiritual woods that met the requirements, and his subsequent practice speed and power of his skills were much stronger than the cultivator who integrated a large number of the same spiritual woods.

As time goes on, the requirements for the quality and types of spiritual wood that need to be incorporated into "Wanmu Zhengu" become higher and higher.

When it comes to the Jindan stage, it is even necessary to integrate hundreds of spiritual trees, and these are the rare spiritual trees that are enough to be cut down to refine third-level magic tools!

When Zhou Chun saw this, his brows suddenly frowned deeply.

To be honest, the first part of "Manmoku Shingo" is really attractive.

Not only is the difficulty of practicing it much less than that of "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art", the various benefits after practicing it are also more attractive than "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art" which only improves the personal strength of the cultivator.

But after reading later, it is really scary to realize that "Wanmu Zhengong" requires a huge number of spiritual woods!
Hundreds of spiritual trees that can be used to refine third-level magical instruments, this demand is simply shocking!
Even for a large sect like Qinglian Temple, it would take a huge amount of money and time to collect so many rare spiritual trees even if the entire sect mobilized!

And the amount of spiritual wood required to enter the later Nascent Soul stage is so great that it is almost unbearable to even think about it!
That is almost impossible to accomplish!

I am afraid that even if I search the entire world, I may not be able to find so many spiritual trees of such high quality!

Therefore, when Zhou Chun saw this, his face suddenly became much heavier.

At this time, Zhou Daoyi, who was sitting cross-legged on the side, suddenly said: "In fact, although we cultivators seek immortality and freedom, everyone knows that there is not even one immortal in this world who can truly achieve immortality and freedom!"

"If a casual cultivator can successfully build a foundation, his life will be complete!"

"Family cultivators like us usually only dare to dream about opening up a purple palace."

"Even for inner disciples of a big sect like Qinglian Temple, their lifetime goal is basically to form a golden elixir!"

"So you can just take a look at the requirements of the Ten Thousand Trees True Art after the Golden Core Stage. There's no need to be too serious about it!"

"If you choose this technique, with the strength of our Zhou family, it shouldn't be too difficult to help you find those spiritual trees before the Purple Mansion Stage!"

"And if you can successfully open up the Purple Mansion and become the pillar of the family, then you will have the opportunity to use the entire family's strength to search for the spiritual wood needed for cultivation."

At this point, his meaning is already very clear.

Since the greatest luxury is just to form a golden elixir and live for a thousand years.

Then the "Wanmu Zhengong" which is safer and faster to practice in the early stages is undoubtedly much more practical than the "Jinding Xuanong".

However, would living for a thousand years really satisfy Zhou Chun?
He came to this world, a world where one can cultivate immortality and seek longevity, just to live a few hundred years longer than ordinary mortals?
In this world where the Nascent Soul stage monsters are known to live for at least three thousand years, would living for only a thousand years satisfy a time traveler who has been reborn?

Do not!
no way!

Zhou Chun suddenly cried out in his heart, absolutely unwilling to set his life goal only at the Jindan stage.

Then he straightened his body, the heavy look on his face disappeared, and he looked at the clan leader Zhou Daoyi with a firm gaze and said, "I have decided to practice the Golden Tripod Mysterious Art!"

Hearing this, Zhou Daoyi's face changed, and he also frowned and looked at him and asked: "Why? Can you tell me why?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun said firmly, "Because of hope! I don't want to walk down a dead end road without hope! Even if it looks wide and flat ahead and easy to walk on!"

Hearing his answer, Zhou Daoyi couldn't help but retort: ​​"But if you choose the "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art", you may fall off the cliff and die before you even set foot on the road!"

Zhou Chun shook his head and said, "It's a hopeless road. Once you walk on it, you will suffer a lot."

“And the road full of hope, no matter how rugged and steep it is, people will continue to walk on it with hope!”

At this point, he couldn't help but hold his head high and said in an excited tone: "I am willing to be that person who is full of hope, and I will not regret it even if I die!"

The skills will be a major selling point of the book. In the desert, the description of the skills is a bit vague. Fei Xiu wants to describe it clearly, but what can he do? In short, this book will combine the advantages of the previous three books, with more detailed descriptions of each aspect. For example, the Hualong Sect has "The Secret of Hualong", what methods will Qinglian Temple and Yuelun Sect have to suppress their sects?
