Chapter 350 Blood Moon Substitute

"The nine Heavenly Ancestors have come together. They really think highly of us two brothers."

Surrounded by the clones of the nine Heavenly Ancestors, Dian Chu showed no fear, but just spoke calmly.

Dian Ding was only a little flustered at the beginning, but he quickly calmed down and prepared to fight the enemy.

At the same time, he lightly touched the wall on the right.

It was a formation that could tightly seal the room.

In addition, there are many brothers from the Sea Devil Gang, as well as those compatriots they had just rescued who had little ability to resist.

If the nine celestial ancestors used them to threaten the two brothers, it would be difficult for them to resist.

"Of course. You are two physical cultivators in the Myriad Realm, one of whom is even close to the Mahayana stage. If we don't find you and eliminate you as soon as possible, you will definitely become a major threat to our clan."

Bai Nian Tianzu opened his mouth to respond to Dian Chu.

"So, the little trick you did behind the backs of the other Heavenly Ancestors was just to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Dian Chu remained calm and composed. These clones of the Saint Clan's Heavenly Ancestors were only equivalent to the fusion stage of Qi training cultivators. The two of them had an advantage in realm.

He also took the opportunity to alienate the relationship between Bai Nian Tianzu and the other eight Tianzu.

Because of the Immortal Dynasty, the news that Bai Nian Tianzu had a conflict with the other eight Tianzu had already spread throughout the world of cultivation, and many people who wanted to resist the Saint Clan were using this news to make a fuss.

Dian Chu and Dian Ding chose to hide under Bai Nian Tianzu's command, also influenced by this information.

As expected, after Dian Chu said this, the other eight ancestors all looked at Bai Nian Tianzu at the same time.

Bai Nian Tianzu immediately put on a selfless expression and said, "Congratulations, you guessed it right. Now kneel down and surrender, acknowledge me as your master, and I can still give you a chance to live."

"There is definitely something wrong. If she really didn't do anything, she would never show such an expression."

Zhu Yueyao, who knew Bai Nian Tianzu best, ruthlessly exposed this lie.

"Two seniors, is the realm after the Myriad Realm of Physical Cultivation also called Mahayana? I remember that the realm after the Qi Cultivation cultivators transcend the tribulation is Mahayana."

Fang Chen didn't have time to care whether Bai Nian Tianzu lied, but instead noticed that the other party called the next realm of the Wanxiang Realm Mahayana.

If he remembered correctly, the last realm before becoming an immortal was also called Mahayana.

Could it be that the realms of physical cultivation and Dharma cultivation will converge in the Mahayana period?
“Well, actually the Mahayana stage cannot be considered a separate realm. It refers to the people in the mortal world who have cultivated to perfection and only lack enough immortal energy to reach the immortal realm.

“Generally speaking, there is not much immortal energy in the mortal world and the spirit world, so cultivators will be stuck in the Mahayana stage for a long time. However, if a cultivator is transcending tribulation in the immortal world, he will basically not reach the Mahayana realm. After transcending tribulation, he will reach the immortal realm.

"It's the same with physical cultivation. After reaching the Myriad Realm, they also need immortal energy to strengthen their qi and blood to reach the Immortal Body Realm. Otherwise, they will always remain at a level that is stronger than the peak of the Tribulation Realm, but weaker than the Immortal Body Realm. Since the situation is the same as that of Dharma cultivation, it is also called the Mahayana Realm."

Yue Yunni explained to Fang Chen very considerately.

"I see. Wait, by using immortal power to strengthen the power of Qi and blood, isn't it that physical cultivation is to fight against supernatural forces such as spiritual energy and immortal energy, to hone the power of Qi and blood, and to improve the realm by relying on one's own strength?"

After listening to her explanation, the previous problem was solved, but new problems also emerged.

The reason why Fang Chen said this was mainly because this was recorded in the Golden Body Technique, a physical cultivation technique that he had obtained from Dian Chu.

He had thought about asking Zhu Yueyao and Yue Yunni for more information about physical cultivation before, but later on there were too many things to do and he never had the chance.

However, the method of physical cultivation that Yue Yunni mentioned was different from what was recorded in the Golden Body Sutra, so he took the opportunity to ask about this topic.

"Confrontation? There is nothing wrong with this statement. However, the result of the confrontation is either that the spiritual energy overwhelms the blood power, causing the body to explode and die, or the blood power absorbs the spiritual energy to grow and become more powerful."

Zhu Yueyao nodded to Fang Chen's statement, and then explained it in detail.

"The power of Qi and blood can absorb spiritual energy? Then why did Dian Chu almost explode and die when he came into contact with the spiritual energy?"

Fang Chen did not doubt what Zhu Yueyao and Yue Yunni said, but some things he had experienced personally. For example, Dian Chu almost exploded and died because he absorbed some spiritual energy.

"It's not surprising. The spiritual roots of the two brothers Dian Chu and Dian Ding were extracted and transformed into innate energy because of the plan of Ziying and Yue Li. As a result, their affinity for spiritual energy is not as good as that of ordinary mortals in the body refining stage. It's just that because of their thick skin and flesh, they can hold on for a while longer."

Although Zhu Yueyao had not yet woken up when this happened, she understood what happened after hearing what Fang Chen said.

"If physical cultivation also requires spiritual energy to practice? Then why are Dian Chu and Dian Ding's blood and energy not affected by the Absolute Spirit Swamp?"

Fang Chen still couldn't accept it and raised a new question.

"The Absolute Soul Swamp? I finally understand why you are so concerned about this issue. You don't think that spiritual energy is a poison used to restrain cultivators, because as long as the spiritual energy is lost, the cultivator will be extremely weak, but physical cultivators will not have such a situation, because the power of qi and blood comes from within, which is the power of the person himself?"

When Fang Chen mentioned the Jueling Swamp, Yue Yunni's mind became active and she figured out the reason why he had been struggling with the issue of physical cultivation.

"Ah."

Fang Chen nodded slightly, which was considered as an admission.

“Puchi, hahahahahahaha—”

Seeing him admit it, Zhu Yueyao laughed without caring about her image, and some parts of her body began to shake.

Adhering to the principle of not looking at what is inappropriate, Fang Chen looked away.

Continue to watch the images that Zhu Yueyao projected in front of him.

The clones of the nine Heavenly Ancestors were still confronting the two brothers Dian Ding, saying some meaningless garbage to each other, but they had no intention of taking action.

"Okay, Yueyao, stop laughing and explain it to him."

Yue Yunni stopped Zhu Yueyao and told her not to continue laughing and to focus on solving the problem that Fang Chen was stuck on.

"Phew - sorry, I lost my composure a little, but I couldn't help but laugh when I thought about how my sister once had such doubts."

Zhu Yueyao took a deep breath and finally adjusted her mood. It turned out that she was not only laughing at Fang Chen, but Yue Yunni also had the same problem in the past.

No wonder she saw through Fang Chen’s thoughts in one sentence. It turned out that she saw her past self.

"Senior Moon God has also thought about this?"

Hearing this, Fang Chen also looked at Yue Yunni.

"Well, at that time, I cultivated to the peak of the Immortal Emperor, but could not break through, so my thoughts diverged and I went to extremes. Fortunately, Yue Yao discovered it in time and helped me to clear up my confusion."

Yue Yunni did not hide anything and generously told the situation at that time.

"It just so happens that he is facing the same problem now, sister, you can enlighten him."

Zhu Yueyao took the opportunity to join the conversation and asked Yue Yunni to explain for Fang Chen.

"Well, the reason for this idea is very simple. It is mainly because spiritual energy and immortal energy come from the outside world, while the energy and blood are already in the human body. However, a basic fact is ignored, that is, whether it is a magic cultivator or a physical cultivator, if you want to improve your cultivation, you need a lot of energy, and spiritual energy and immortal energy play the role of energy."

Yue Yunni nodded and began to tell the story.

"The Dharma cultivators bind these energies in the Dantian and meridians, while the physical cultivators want to merge these energies with the power of Qi and blood. If spiritual energy is really poison, which method do you think is more harmful?"

"But in the Absolute Soul Swamp, Dian Chu and Dian Ding did not show symptoms of losing spiritual energy like Fa Xiu did."

Fang Chen still used this example to refute.

"Then let me ask you, if a practitioner is in the Absolute Spirit Swamp, will the mana in his dantian be banned?"

Yue Yunni also asked back immediately.

"of course not."

The Absolute Soul Swamp will only make the magic power released by the magic cultivator ineffective, otherwise he would not have been able to come and go freely in the swamp with the help of the first generation immortal palace.

"This is why physical cultivators can come and go freely in the Absolute Soul Swamp. Regardless of whether they are physical cultivators or magic cultivators, they all have their own inner world, which is inside our bodies. When physical cultivators exert their strength, most of their Qi and blood are consumed in the inner world, so they will not be affected by the Absolute Soul Swamp."

In order to explain this problem, Yue Yunni told Fang Chen a new concept.

"Inner world, outer world?"

Sure enough, Fang Chen was also attracted by this new concept and began to think about it.

"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame us for being rude."

During the time when the three were talking, the nine Heavenly Ancestors and the two brothers finally stopped trash talking and started to fight.

The first to take action was Bai Nian Tianzu. She was best at soul attacks and illusions, and these two were precisely the weaknesses of physical cultivators.

"Uh--"

However, the two brothers just shook their heads slightly and got rid of the illusion of Bai Nian Tianzu, and easily dodged the attack launched by the other eight Tianzu who took the opportunity.

"Look, the main training direction of physical cultivation is to strengthen the inner world. Even if illusions and soul attacks can restrain them, they must first break through the defense of the inner world. When they fall on them, they will no longer have much power."

Zhu Yueyao also acted as a commentator and reinforced the concept of the inner world and the outer world to Fang Chen.

"So the main purpose of practicing magic is to cultivate the outer world?" Fang Chen stared at the scene in front of him and asked casually.

"No, Dharma cultivation emphasizes the balance between the inner world and the outer world, while soul cultivation focuses on the outer world."

Yue Yunni answered for him.

"Soul cultivation?"

"They are ghost cultivators. They completely abandon their physical bodies and exist as souls or energy. People in the Land of Reincarnation are basically soul cultivators."

Fang Chen finally understood it now.

The inner world and the outer world are also a way to distinguish the three types of cultivators.

Physical cultivation strengthens the inner world and makes the body strong.

Soul cultivation seeks to merge with the outside world, and ultimately only the soul remains, which is a ball of energy.

That's why he can use the secret technique of gathering souls.

Because the main body is a ball of energy, it can be gathered together to become a stronger energy.

Flesh and blood will have a rejection reaction, but energy will not.

The reason why Dharma cultivation has become mainstream is that it combines both. It has no strengths, but also no weaknesses.

“Is there a way to do all three?”

Fang Chen remembered what Dian Chu once said, that a practitioner of Dharma cannot become a practitioner of the Body.

But that is the opinion of a cultivator in the Body Refining Stage after all, so Zhu Yueyao and Yue Yunni are bound to have different opinions.

"Of course not."

To Fang Chen's surprise, the judgments given by the two were the same as Dian Chu's.

"Dharma cultivation is the result of practicing both body and soul. How can you practice all three?"

Before he could wonder, Yue Yunni said with a smile.

"Then why can't I mobilize the power of Qi and blood?"

Fang Chen had already realized that while practicing Dharma to strengthen the inner world, he also pursued unity with the outer world.

Therefore, we can accept the statement that Dharma cultivation is a combination of physical and soul cultivation.

But since he is practicing both the soul and spirit parts, he can feel the thoughts and consciousness of the soul cultivation part, so why can't he sense the power of his own qi and blood?

"It's very simple. Your cultivation is not good enough. If you want to mobilize the power of Qi and blood, you need to open up the Crimson Palace, which is the middle Dantian. That is a matter for the Golden Core Stage."

Zhu Yueyao responded immediately.

"Could it be that the physical cultivators like the brothers Dianchu and Dianding have opened up their middle dantian in advance?"

Fang Chen used his spiritual sense to investigate Dian Chu and Dian Ding's bodies, and found that their Qi and blood power were indeed not stored in the lower Dantian, but were concentrated near the heart.

The heart is the core of the human body, so he didn't think much about it.

It now seems that the power of Qi and blood is not in the heart, but in the Jiang Palace, which is the middle dantian.

After all, the other name of the Crimson Palace is the Heart Palace, which is adjacent to the heart.

"It's not appropriate to say it's ahead of time. It's just that the methods of cultivation are different. Dharma cultivators start from the lower dantian, the upper dantian is opened up in the purple mansion stage, and the middle dantian is opened up in the golden elixir stage. The body cultivators focus on the middle dantian and don't really need the other two dantians. Soul cultivators don't even have the concept of dantian at all."

Yue Yunni corrected Fang Chen's statement.

Dharma practitioners usually open up the middle dantian in the golden elixir stage, but it does not mean that the order is the same for physical practitioners.

"Speaking of which, since soul cultivation requires abandoning the physical body, how does one cultivate? I remember that even if one wants to become a ghost cultivator, one must first reach the fifth level of Qi training before one can have the memories of one's previous life."

After figuring out the matter of physical cultivation, Fang Chen asked about the matter of soul cultivation.

"Soul cultivators usually come from wandering ghosts or cultivators who have lost their physical bodies. Very few people take the initiative to become soul cultivators."

Zhu Yueyao shrugged. This question was indeed very profound. She didn't know much about it. She only knew that the earliest soul cultivators were lonely ghosts.

"Is this the incarnation of the Saint Clan's Heavenly Ancestor? It's not as powerful as the rumors say."

Time would not stop while the three were chatting. The nine avatars of the Heavenly Ancestors joined forces, but were unable to do anything to the two brothers Dian Chu and Dian Ding, so much so that Dian Ding began to mock them.

In fact, this is normal.

Physical cultivators are already famous for their combat prowess, not to mention that the two brothers are one major realm higher than the incarnations of the nine Heavenly Ancestors.

If not for the difference in combat experience, this fight with such a huge disparity should have resulted in an instant kill.

Even dozens of ordinary cultivators in the fusion stage cannot defeat the two brothers working together.

This also shows the abilities of the nine heavenly ancestors.

"It seems that if we don't show some real skills, we will be looked down upon by the two people from the lower world. My ability is the most effective in restraining them, so just pass all your strength to me."

As soon as Bai Nian Tianzu finished speaking, the clones of the other eight Tianzu immediately turned into blood and merged into her clone.

"No, stop her."

Dian Chu had always been quite cautious and immediately noticed something was wrong and wanted to rush over to interrupt it all.

It's a pity it's too late.

In an instant, the aura of Bai Nian Tianzu's clone also rose to the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

Equivalent to Dian Chu and Dian Ding.

However, her breath did not stop growing and continued.

Dian Chu, who rushed over, only felt that he had hit a large elastic net and was bounced out.

"boom--"

It hit the stone wall heavily, leaving a one-meter-deep hole.

Fortunately, the walls of their base were thick enough, otherwise the room would have been directly penetrated.

"Haha, just be my slave."

Bai Nian Tianzu's aura finally stopped at a level extremely close to the realm of life immortal. Seeing Dian Chu's behavior, he chuckled.

There seemed to be some kind of magic in her voice, which reached the ears of the two brothers and instantly made their eyes become dull.

He actually controlled the two brothers in the Wanxiang Realm in an instant.

The illusion of Bai Nian Tianzu completely penetrated the defense of their inner world and the power of qi and blood.

"Can you find a way to wake them up?"

Fang Chen looked at Zhu Yueyao. Regardless of the two brothers’ past, they were indeed saving humanity in the world of cultivation now.

We can't let them fall here.

"It's useless. Bai Nian Tianzu is completely defeated by both of them. Even if I wake them up, nothing can be changed, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Sister? Here are two excellent puppets. Why don't you stretch your muscles?"

Zhu Yueyao looked at Yue Yunni with a hint of excitement in her words.

"What do you mean by puppet? You should be more careful with your words. But your suggestion is not bad. It can be used to deal with the clone of Bai Nian Tianzu. It can be regarded as a small revenge."

Yue Yunni said this unhappily, but she also agreed with Zhu Yueyao's proposal.

"You want to..."

Fang Chen also realized their plan, but before he could finish speaking, he felt his divine power beginning to be consumed abnormally.

The dullness in the eyes of the two brothers Dian Chu and Dian Ding also disappeared.

Instead, there is a feminine look.

These two people went straight out to play as substitutes.
