An Ordinary Path to Immortality

Before studying the Jindan realm, Fang Ping felt that the process would be extremely difficult.

But when he really started studying the techniques, he realized that he was too optimistic.

Compared with the comprehension and deduction of the Jindan realm techniques, the difficulties encountered in the foundation-building realm techniques were simply enjoyable.

In the first year, because he had no clue and the techniques were complicated and chaotic, Fang Ping's state of mind was lost several times and he almost exploded and died. He had no choice but to go out of seclusion and travel with Luo Yun and the spirit beasts to relax his mind.

In the second year, Fang Ping's state of mind was lost again, and he was seriously injured. He had to put aside the matter of comprehending the techniques again.

He called Zhang Ren, Song Wujie and Jinwu Prince, three guys with eccentric personalities, to run around in the secret realm together, looking for and collecting spiritual objects everywhere to relieve and stabilize his mood.

Because the Jindan realm techniques are too profound, compared with the foundation-building and Qi-refining techniques, the Jindan realm has more methods, more flexible changes, and a wider range of knowledge.

There were even some unheard-of methods, which caused great trouble to Fang Ping in his deduction of the skills.

So much so that in the third year, Fang Ping was injured one after another because of his forced deduction of the skills, and one of his arms, one foot and most of his internal organs were blown off.

If Luo Yun had not woken up from his practice and helped Fang Ping suppress his body in time, he might have had to wait until his body was blown up to alert Mu Chan to come out and help him suppress the last ray of life.

After recuperating for half a year, Fang Ping was still irritable and simply took Qingniu, Jinwu, Baihu, Zhang Ren, and Song Wujie to leave the secret realm together, and swaggered to slaughter all the cultivators arranged by the major forces on the continent around the secret realm to monitor Fang Ping and his people.

There were even many Yuanying cultivators among them.

Several people joined forces and blew up several Yuanying cultivators in succession.

Even if they joined forces, they were all seriously injured.

But such a record was something they had never dared to think of before.

After a bloody battle, Fang Ping and his team not only relieved the boredom caused by long-term seclusion, but also had a deeper understanding of the changes in their combat power.

Especially Fang Ping, during the battle, he could clearly feel that because his foundation was perfect and solid, but because the Jindan realm skills could not match his foundation, he always felt that he was constrained by the skills and could not use his strength.

Fang Ping and his team returned to the secret realm again. Ye Chang and others came after hearing the news. Everyone discussed the situation outside and knew that the battle between the righteous and the evil outside had not stopped because Taiyuan fell and the Chaos Golden Pearl was obtained by Fang Ping.

On the contrary, after the Xianyun Secret Realm, the battle between the two sides became more intense.

Almost every day, there would be more or less news about the fall of Yuanying cultivators.

Even some time ago, a war between the great powers of Huashen broke out.

With the escalation of the battle, especially the sudden alliance of the demon cultivators, the righteous cultivators were defeated step by step, a large number of cultivators fell, and cities and lands were lost one after another.

As a result, the righteous cultivators finally put aside their own pride and formed the Righteous Immortal Alliance, led by the current head of the Immortal Sect, to join forces against the Demon Cultivator Alliance.

Today, the Yuanling Continent is in a state of war. The Demon Cultivators started from the continents on the edge of the continent and advanced towards the center little by little, occupying one continent after another.

If we only look at the territory, the Demon Alliance has completely surrounded the Immortal Alliance.

At this time, the Immortal Alliance found that even if they joined hands, they were still inferior to the Demon Alliance in all aspects. They could only shrink and defend passively.

Even the Immortal Sect sent disciples to participate in the war directly, but the situation still could not be reversed.

After receiving the news from the outside world, everyone couldn't help but sigh, and they all lamented the strength of the Demon Alliance, and at the same time expressed helplessness at the fragility and unbearableness of the Immortal Alliance.

What made Zuo Chunqiu and Fang Ping feel relieved was that although Qiyun Sect was implicated, because both the righteous and evil sects were eyeing Qiyun Sect, and Tianbao Pavilion, Wang Family and Yu Family came forward to protect it, Qiyun Sect was temporarily safe under the competition of the three forces.

It was just that the sect could only hide in the mountain gate and could not go out at all.

Knowing that the sect was safe, Zuo Chunqiu and others were relieved.

After a short reunion, they entered the state of retreat again.

The fourth year, the fifth year, the sixth year...

Until the ninth year, the heavenly tribulation finally appeared on the hut again.

During this period, it was not that there was no heavenly tribulation.

Not only was there a heavenly tribulation, but almost everyone of them had triggered the baptism of heavenly tribulation two or three times.

These nine years of retreat and cultivation, with the blessing of a large number of various natural treasures and the rules of the secret realm, as well as the solid foundation accumulated by Fang Ping's two sermons.

Each of them has undergone a transformation that is almost like a rebirth.

This time, the heavenly tribulation appeared again, and it was finally Fang Ping's turn.

Although the heavenly tribulation was powerful this time, starting directly from the fifth and ninth heavenly tribulation, it could not cause any harm to Fang Ping at all.

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Fang Ping on your great accomplishment."

"You finally came out of retreat. If you don't come out again, I will be so idle that hair will grow on my body."

"Fang Ping, have you successfully deduced the golden elixir technique?"

"When will we go out and give them a big surprise?"

Everyone was talking around Fang Ping.

In these years, they have almost improved everything that can be improved to the extreme, and have also refined everything that needs to be refined.

Every day they either practice alchemy and equipment refining, or compete with each other, or travel to pass the time.

Now that Fang Ping has finally come out of retreat, they no longer have to be so idle, and can finally listen to Fang Ping's teachings again.

Now they want to listen to Fang Ping's teachings about the cultivation experience of the Golden Core Realm more than anyone else.

Because now they are just like Fang Ping at the beginning, feeling that the skills they practice are not compatible with their solid foundation at all, feeling that the power in their bodies is surging, but there is no powerful enough method to support them to control this power.

After surviving the heavenly tribulation, Fang Ping did not talk too much, and directly sat cross-legged to preach, and taught everyone the experience and methods of practicing the Golden Core Realm that he had deduced to the extreme after going through untold hardships and almost perishing several times.

It took more than nine years to deduce the skills of the Golden Core Realm, and Fang Ping took even longer to preach to everyone.

It took more than two years for Fang Ping to finish teaching what he had learned from retreat.

As before, everyone sat cross-legged to comprehend and digest what they had learned, and occasionally asked Fang Ping for advice individually.

With the previous experience, each of them was very serious about their understanding, not wanting to miss this last chance.

Everyone knew that after nearly twenty years of seclusion in the secret realm, it was finally the most important moment of harvest.

It was also time for them to leave the secret realm and return to the mainland to face the bloody storm and life-and-death test of the Yuanling Continent.
