What would a normal Mahayana casual cultivator do before crossing the catastrophe

The secret method of demon cultivation in the source world is a very wonderful thing, from changing one's own species to creating a son out of thin air-as long as one is proficient in the secret method of demon cultivation, all of this can be done.

Among them, the most typical and famous example is without a doubt the Void World Jiao, the mountain guard of the Emperor Sword Gate.

This old ancestor who is proficient in the secret arts of demon cultivation has an unknown gender, has no Taoist companion, and has never communicated with other creatures in depth, but he has added hundreds of source-level monks to the emperor by himself.

And this is not counting the grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, etc., that were born to those children.

Of course, to achieve this level, few demon cultivators can do it.Just talking about creating cubs out of thin air... This also requires almost the level of the peak of the Mahayana period.

And for a qualified sword cultivator, it is completely self-defeating to want to practice the secret art of demon cultivation to such an extent.

Sword Dao, this is one of the mainstream branches of the "Weapon Dao" in the source world. Its biggest characteristic is ignoring all twists and turns, going forward without hesitation, and pushing the ability of attack to the peak.

It's not that they can't also learn other auxiliary methods, but even if they do, they must direct it to assist the attack of the main weapon.For example, the creation of offspring by the secret technique of demon cultivation is completely incompatible with monks of the Dao of weapons.

This kind of specificity is the "correctness" passed down from generation to generation.

It will allow the monks of the Dao of Weapons to have the most keen inspiration and intuition for attacks, and it can also magnify the advantages of this type of monks to the limit, and in turn cover up its shortcomings.

In fact, not only the Dao of Weapons, but also Dao of Refining, Dao of Techniques, Dao of Soul, Dao of Talisman Array... All these cultivation directions have their own unique requirements and regulations.Although it may not be as extreme as the way of weapons, it does exist.

So have any monks gone astray?

Of course there are, and there are many.

Among the monks that Jinan is familiar with, there is the example of Zhuguangjianjun.

Although this person still uses the "Sword Lord" as his dao title, he is actually no longer a sword cultivator. He has deviated from the main purpose of the Dao of Weapons thousands of years ago, and later changed his main Dao to "Soul Dao".

In other words, the Light Chasing Sword Lord is actually a soul cultivator now, and he is best at performing soul attacks with phantom swords.

And what if it was even worse and failed to transfer to another course?

Then this monk will become a "miscellaneous" monk.This is actually a contemptuous title. Origin Realm cultivators generally acquiesce that this kind of cultivator has been destroyed and has no future.

They are patchwork, they know a little about everything, they are not proficient in everything, and their disadvantages are not obvious in the early stage of cultivation, but as long as they reach the out-of-body stage, even Taoist cultivators who are not so good at frontal combat can easily lift them up and smoke them.

There is no doubt that Yu Hong is a pure sword cultivator, so of course it is impossible for him to also practice demon cultivating methods to pinch a younger brother for himself.

Not to mention that even if he pinches it out, that child should be his son and not his younger brother.

Emperor Tian Jianjun was obviously playing around with his only son.

Qinan had a weird expression on his face, and touched his chin, wondering if he should comfort Yu Hong.

It seems a bit miserable to have such a father.

But to be honest, it's not that bad when you think about it.

In the end, he gave up on this question and started to change the subject: "By the way, I haven't asked yet, what kind of spiritual root are you, Yuhong?"

Yu Hong said: "The single spiritual root of the gold system."

Qinan raised his eyebrows: "Yo, the second cultivation sequence, I thought you would be one of the five mutant spiritual roots of the first sequence."

Yi Hong: "Not much impact."

Qinan snorted when he heard the words: "That's right, after all, your Huangtian Sword Sect has no shortage of resources, and the influence of spiritual roots on monks is only limited to before the fusion period."

Yu Hong was silent for a moment, seeing that Qinan was lost in thought and did not continue, he took the initiative to ask again: "What about you?"

Qinan came back to his senses, stroked his chin and smiled, "Guess?"

Yi Hong: "...the third-class spiritual root."

Qinan let out a sigh: "You are so cunning, you actually guessed the cultivation sequence level. But why do you guess that I am a third-level spiritual root?"

"Because when you bought the painting, you said that you met a boss who had the same spiritual root as you." Yuhong explained in a low voice, "The third class has the most people among the first three spiritual roots, and the third class has almost no chance. Step into the threshold of cultivation."

Just like the scene of the second-rate sect accepting disciples they encountered, generally speaking, any more formal sect would not accept disciples below the third-rate spiritual root.

Because even for the fourth-class spiritual roots that are closest to the passing line, the probability of those monks who try their best to successfully break through to the golden core stage is less than one percent.

Qinan laughed: "The analysis is pretty good, but it's a pity that I guessed wrong."

Yi Hong looked at him and hoped that he would announce the answer.

However, Qinan smiled mischievously: "I won't tell you if I can't guess it."

Yihong: "..."

Yi Hong couldn't quite understand why he wanted to keep it secret.

After all, the influence of spiritual roots on monks is limited to before the integration period, and after the integration period, no matter what the original spiritual root is, it will become indistinguishable.

Qinan looked at the confused eyes of Jianjun Yu Hong, and changed the topic again.He casually drew a phantom array to cover up the movement in this area, and then snapped his fingers, and five clusters of spiritual power of different natures suddenly appeared in the air, forming a ring and floating quietly.

"Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth—five basic spiritual roots, five different qualities." Qinan looked at the five clusters of the purest spiritual power and whispered, "They are named after the five behaviors, but they don't refer to them specifically. It's an image."

The so-called spiritual root is actually just the spiritual power and affinity physique that has reached a certain strength in a certain aspect.

Spiritual power itself does not contain any bias, but the spiritual power that monks can accommodate and absorb is different.In order to facilitate the division and understanding, the cultivators of the source world artificially endowed it with the actual corresponding image.

For example, the performance characteristics of metal spiritual power are "sharp" and "dense quality"; water spiritual power is "mellow", "loose" and "peaceful"; fire spiritual power is "restless" and "explosive"... …

All of these are just descriptions of feelings, which fit the appearance characteristics of specific existing things, rather than specifically pointing to that kind of things.

Therefore, monks with fire spirit roots can of course use the water control formula, and monks with water spirit roots can of course use spiritual power to ignite flames.

However, these manifestations of spiritual power characteristics are in conflict in some respects, and if they appear together, they will cover and cancel each other out.

For example, water will cover up most of the characteristics of fire.

This situation is known as "phase restraint".

On the contrary, if it can cooperate with auxiliary enhancements - such as metal and water, it is called "coexistence".

And when the proportional strength of these spiritual roots reaches a delicate balance, they may also show unique properties and achieve unity, and this rare situation is also called "mutated spiritual roots".

In Twelve Continents, it is generally recognized that the spiritual roots are divided into six classes, according to this law of mutual generation and mutual restraint.

[First Class]: Five Variant Spiritual Roots—Scenery Dark Thunder Ice

[Second Class]: single spiritual root, mutual generation double spiritual root

[Third class]: Phase-restraining double spiritual roots, single-restraining three spiritual roots, other mutant spiritual roots

[Fourth Class]: Four Spiritual Roots, Double Gram Three Spiritual Roots

[Fifth Class]: Five Spiritual Roots (Miscellaneous Spiritual Roots)

[Sixth Class]: Repelling Spiritual Roots

This is the trajectory of life that is destined for countless creatures from the moment they are born.

Everyone said that it is almost impossible for a spiritual root below the third level to conceive a baby, and there is no need to start practicing at all.

This is a fact.

Even though monks can change their lives against the sky and rewrite other people's spiritual roots, for the vast majority of mortals, they will never wait for the miracle that favors them in their lifetime.

"I can think of two ways for mortals to improve their spiritual roots at the moment—wash away the excess spiritual roots and turn them into single or double spiritual roots, or directly increase the strength of their spiritual roots to reach the balance point of mutated spiritual roots. "

Qinan stared at the five groups of spiritual power, and with a light wave of his finger, they were scattered and disordered, and then reorganized into countless chaotic combinations, and space cracks appeared faintly around the five groups.

"However, the precision required to shape the five mutated spiritual roots is too high. Even if I have calculated a detailed formula for them to apply, if their own data is detected to be biased, it will easily lead to accidental death," Qinan said softly, " Although the way of washing away excess spiritual roots is safer, it also has the same problem. If there is a deviation, it is likely to wash away the spiritual roots that were originally intended to be kept, and become the worst sixth-class repelling spiritual roots. "

"Which way do you think I should choose?"

With little hesitation, Yi Hong directly said in a deep voice, "Mutation."

Qinan was quiet for a while, then smiled: "You are right."

Those who will make up their minds to embark on this path and change their fate against the sky must already have the possibility of fighting the front line with the determination to die.

They will no longer think about these minor security issues, but put all their eggs in one basket, leaving no way out for themselves.

Just like him back then.

Qinan dissipated the spiritual power floating in the air, and looked at Jianjun Yuhong in amazement: "Master Jianjun, I didn't expect that you with a single spiritual root can understand better than I thought... Oh, yes, you are Sword cultivator."

Jianxiu is unwavering and unwavering.

They didn't think about leaving a way out for themselves.

Qinan half-closed his eyes and laughed.

Why do I suddenly feel that...the two of them are so similar.

If he is not a scholar.

Maybe they will really become the most compatible Taoist couple.
