Shennong Sequence

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, on opening up your inner realm! You have a good chance of building your foundation for the Great Dao in the future!" Han Feiyu congratulated him sincerely.

"It's just that I've taken a step forward with my feet firmly on the ground." Zhao Yun's tone was calm, but his eyes revealed his happiness.

When he reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining, countless images soared into the sky, and auspicious beasts offering blessings swept across the entire Five Elements Immortal Mountain. Such a commotion naturally could not be kept secret from his fellow cultivators within the Five Elements Immortal Mountain.

These days, every now and then one or two neighbors would come to visit with gifts or rare medicinal herbs.

Even his closest friend, Senior Brother Han, took a special leave of absence and rushed back to Five Elements Immortal Mountain to offer his congratulations after hearing the news.

Naturally, Zhao Yun also made a special trip to leave his seclusion and then entertained Wang Tian.

After seeing off Senior Brother Han once again, Zhao Yun looked at Junior Sister and saw that a twelfth-grade essence flower had already condensed on her head and she had begun the process of nurturing the Qi flower. He couldn't help but nod and say, "The speed is not slow!"

Then the two whispered a few more words and went back into seclusion.

The cultivation of reaching the perfect inner realm of the twelfth level of Qi Refining is neither particularly difficult nor particularly easy.

The main difficulty lies in the fact that it requires a great deal of resources and immeasurable magical power to build every flower, grass, tree, and scene within the inner landscape, transforming the entire inner landscape from its illusory state into a solidified reality. This is a major challenge.

However, the advantage lies in the fact that Zhao Yun's side has some nourishing elixirs given by Xin Ruyin, and even the Five Elements Immortal Mountain is not just a name given lightly.

Within the sacred mountains, there is a natural, ethereal, and otherworldly atmosphere!
Moreover, this kind of celestial energy is not the kind of high-level energy that would burst the body if inhaled. Instead, it is a gentle celestial energy that has had all its violent power removed and transformed into something that can nourish the physical body and magical power.

Therefore, with the support of many sect benefits, generating magic power is not too difficult.

However, it requires a lot of time to continuously absorb the spiritual energy and immortal energy between the mountains and rivers, transform it into magic power, and then continuously pour it into the inner world through the Five Qi Bridge and the Three Flower Lamp to fill the structure of the inner world.

Therefore, in the realm of inner vision, if the inner vision is small, although the potential is small, this realm is still easier to pass; but if the inner vision is large, although the potential is also large, the resources consumed are also much greater.

The choice between the pros and cons depends on one's own character and resources.

However, for Zhao Yun, every realm he had reached along his path of cultivation was solid and had reached its ultimate limit. Therefore, his inner vision naturally revealed complete scenes of the sun and moon, mountains and rivers, grass and trees, forests, flowers, birds, insects and fish, all of which were clearly displayed within it.

Therefore, his inner world is quite large, and naturally the amount of magic power required to fill it is extremely large!

Even with his Qi Refining 12th level cultivation, which has a power limit that is more than 10 billion times that of the first level, the continuous infusion of his magical power into that vast inner landscape feels like a drop in the ocean.

However, the magical power poured into this inner realm can be extracted again in an emergency and used as a reserve of one's own magical power.

It can be said that from the first level of Qi Refining to the twelfth level of Qi Refining, each level is a hundred times greater than the previous one, and the level becomes increasingly inhuman.

Spring goes and summer comes; autumn harvests and winter stores.

Zhao Yun spent a vast amount of time refining his magical power, continuously pouring it into his inner world... so that every inch of land, every mountain, and even the surrounding void, as well as the revolving sun and moon, were filled with this inexhaustible magical power. It wasn't until a full year had passed, consuming countless elixirs and absorbing the boundless magical power transformed from the endless immortal energy of the Five Elements Immortal Mountains, that the vast inner world was finally woven together.

If this were a small sect or a rogue cultivator, they wouldn't have the vast resources to accumulate such immense magical power... The process of raising these resources would probably leave them destitute!

Furthermore, as the inner landscape solidified within the fabric of magical power, Zhao Yun gradually developed a unique feeling of having his own world within his body.

It shares some similarities with, yet also some differences from, the dust that formed the foundation of the dantian in the Sequence Eight Dantian of Zhao Yun's future body before his transmigration, which was formed from the power of the Daoist tradition.

The similarity is that they are both special substances produced in the body, which then form a special realm.

The difference lies in the fact that one is a special secret realm that truly belongs to the physical body, and after being filled with magic power, it can solidify and evolve, and may even become an inner world.

However, within the dantian of that future body, the dust that forms the foundation of the dantian from the power of the Dao lineage, while lacking the peculiarity of the inner world, possesses a spirituality that the inner world cannot describe!
It is precisely this special spiritual structure that ensures that the essence of the inner field within the dantian, once opened, should not be weaker than these special internal landscape structures.

However, whether it is stronger or weaker can only be determined by its specific effects on the future path.

Since this aspect hasn't been cultivated to a higher level, it's not appropriate to compare Zhao Yun with him for now.

After all, whether it's the inner landscape or the structure of the dantian, Zhao Yun is only in the initial stage of condensation!

In particular, the Danzhongtiandi (lower abdomen) has only just completed the accumulation of Daoist Ashes and will need to wait until it advances to Sequence Seven before the Danzhongtiandi can be fully constructed.

Therefore, without a specific cultivation process, there is naturally no specific data for a complete comparison. It can only be said that the two have similarities and some unique differences.

Although this vast inner world is located within the physical body, Zhao Yun measured it and found that its area would not be less than eighty or ninety miles in circumference.

After all, the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, flowers, birds, insects, fish, and even the processes of ordinary people who, though lacking true consciousness, still have physical forms and move, such as farming, spinning silk, and weaving cloth, as well as the structures of houses and fields, are all included.

Therefore, this interior is definitely not small, comparable to the vastness of a divine realm!

In addition, when the inner world was filled and constructed by this vast and boundless magical power, Zhao Yun also discovered that there was a peculiar power in the inner world that could accelerate time to the extreme, but to the outside world, only a few moments had passed... This could be used to comprehend the Dao and cultivate, etc.

However, once this time acceleration ability is activated, it consumes a huge amount of energy from the interior environment.
Furthermore, a large amount of mana will be needed to replenish it afterward.

Therefore, this ability to "capture a moment in the outside world and a year in the inner world," while powerful, overlaps with Zhao Yun's ability to reward diligence with the yellow cloth.

Moreover, instead of spending so much time accumulating magical power, it would be much simpler to use the Heavenly Reward for Diligence on the yellow cloth to cultivate directly.

"I've reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining, the inner realm is complete. Next, I should go find the Transmission Elder to learn about the foundation-building process of the Myriad Spirits lineage!" (End of Chapter)
