Immortal Formula

   Chapter 863 Advancement again

  Gu Yan said in surprise: "You mean, you finally found, where is the bottleneck of my practice?"

As early as a hundred years ago, after returning from Tianfeng Valley, she already felt that her cultivation had reached a bottleneck, but after several retreats, she still could not successfully advance to the middle stage of Nascent Soul. It stayed for two hundred years, which made Gu Yan puzzled. And in the past 100 years, her cultivation has even regressed a bit. Although she has become more proficient in the means of confronting the enemy, her inability to break through the realm makes Gu Yan's heart always feel a little tangled.

   She had consulted with Ning Fengzi several times, but in the end it could only be attributed to Huo Lingying's peculiarities, and she couldn't find a way. Back then, the trip to Chaos Caverns created a subtle connection between Gu Yan and the Primal Chaos, and it seemed that they had found the shadow of a breakthrough. Therefore, Gu Yan made another trip to Chaos Caverns. But now Ning Fengzi said that she could make a breakthrough, which made Gu Yan overjoyed.

   She grabbed Ning Fengzi's arm and said, "What do you think of, tell me quickly!"

  Ning Fengzi pouted and said, "Hey, don't use so much strength, it will hurt people."

  Gu Yan said angrily: "As a spirit body, where does it hurt? Tell me now!"

Ning Fengzi said: "In the final analysis, it's because of your cultivation of the Fire Spirit Infant. Back then, you experienced the Nine Heavenly Demon Tribulations and became this unique Fire Spirit Infant. When you first formed an infant, you could transform the Nascent Soul into a The second primordial spirit is out of the body, and the average primordial infant cultivator can’t compare to you, but because of this, it is particularly difficult for you to advance to the rank, because the fire spirit infant has become a spiritual body!”

  Gu Yan was taken aback, "You mean that the Nascent Soul I cultivated has become a spiritual body like you, with its own consciousness?"

Usually, a monk's Nascent Soul can become conscious on its own and become a real incarnation outside the body. That is something that can only be achieved by a major cultivator in the Spirit Transformation stage. Now, it's just that she has the cultivation level of Nascent Soul's early stage, but a spirit body is born in her body, then, it is very likely that she will be attacked by her own Nascent Soul!

  Ning Fengzi waved his hands again and again, "No, you are thinking too much. With your current cultivation, how could Yuan Ying generate consciousness on its own? However, this seems to be worse."

  Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said somewhat puzzled: "How do you say this?"

Ning Fengzi said: "If your Nascent Soul really has consciousness, even if you are not as smart as me, you can still cultivate and evolve yourself, but it will not become a bottleneck that drags you down. The problem now is that your Nascent Soul has already You have become a spiritual body, but you cannot cultivate on your own. In this way, your body and the cultivation realm of Nascent Soul do not match. The two influence each other, causing your level to be unable to break through. In the past few decades, Do you think that the cultivation base has the meaning of not advancing and retreating? This is because your Nascent Soul has already affected your body in turn!"

Gu Yan suddenly realized that, in fact, Ning Fengzi's words are easy to understand, just like Zhan Ruochen, why did he kill Gu Yan at the cost of losing both, it was for Zhu Yaojing in Gu Yan's hands, because he cultivated the **** of the devil. The second dharma body has reached the bottleneck and cannot be broken through any more, which in turn affects Zhan Ruochen's body. Zhu Yaojing must be used to break through the realm of the second dharma body.

   The problem with Gu Yan now is that her Nascent Soul has become an unconscious spiritual body, so she cannot advance along with her main body, but must have a unique cultivation method. The current stagnation of Yuan Ying's realm, in turn, has affected Gu Yan's body, so that her realm has been stagnant for decades.

   It's just that Gu Yan's Nascent Soul is only a spiritual body and cannot use Zhu Yaojing to cultivate. Gu Yan can't help but smile bitterly. Although Huo Lingying is a celestial spirit, it will also have the same problem when cultivating. However, this can be said to be a happy trouble. If Gu Yan can successfully break through to the middle stage of Yuanying, then she can practice the second Yuanshen Dharma body just like Zhan Ruochen. In that case, her cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, and she is very hopeful that within a hundred years, Break through the realm of Yuanzhong and become Cangwu's youngest post-yuan overhaul!

   She asked excitedly: "So, what do you think of?"

Ning Fengzi said with a smile: "Of course, who am I? That is Botong ancient and modern, the most powerful artifact spirit. After I found out where the joints were, I immediately thought of a way. That's why I put You are trapped in the Chaos Cavern all by yourself, because this training must not be disturbed by outsiders, only here is the quietest."

   She said word by word, "I want to teach you the nine-turn golden body art!"

Gu Yan couldn't help but be stunned. She naturally knew that the Jiuzhuan Golden Body Art was a law that Ning Fengzi had learned from ancient times. It was taught to her by her master back then. This is a law that only a spirit body can practice. , she said stunned: "You mean, want my Nascent Soul to practice the nine-turn golden body art?"

Ning Fengzi nodded and said: "Yes, only in this way can your Fire Spirit Infant evolve with your cultivation and progress together, and if the two complement each other, your speed of progress will be faster than that of your progress. You have to know that in the past, you have improved exponentially. Those major repairs in the ancient times of refining and integration have a unique set of cultivation techniques for the primordial spirit, which are regarded as the secrets of this sect. Only in this way can you have I hope to advance to a higher level in the future."

  Gu Yan smiled. For her, transforming the spirit and refining the emptiness are still very far-fetched things, at least in this world of immortality, it is impossible for her to do it. But Ning Fengzi's words seemed to have opened a new door for her.

When she was promoted to Nascent Soul, she felt that her cultivation level seemed to have reached a bottleneck stage, and there was not enough room to move up. Whether it was the raging fire scripture, or the method of the nephew's nine turns, it seemed that there was no longer any more. It is very suitable, and the cultivation method proposed by Ning Fengzi to separate the body from the primordial spirit is tantamount to opening a new path in front of her eyes.

   Yes, although what Ning Fengzi said, it was just a dream out of reach, but who would refuse this kind of dream? Transforming spirits, refining virtual, such a golden road, Gu Yan also wants to go for a walk!

   "But..." Gu Yan looked at Ning Fengzi with a somewhat skeptical look, "If it's really so good, why didn't you say it earlier, is there something hidden in it?"

Ning Fengzi nodded a little embarrassedly, "Yes, that's why I haven't told you for a long time that if you practice the Nine Turns Golden Body Art, you must be a spiritual body with extremely powerful aura, usually even a cultivator of the Empress Yuan. It is very likely that their primordial spirits will not be able to withstand the pressure brought by the rapid expansion of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Art. I have seen them before, there are Nascent Soul monks who practice the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Art. , the primordial spirit was forcibly burst, and finally the spirit and soul were destroyed."

Then she said again, "However, you are not necessarily like this, your Fire Spirit Infant is uniquely blessed, and can surpass the peers in the first cultivation, and there is still chaos space in your body, which is enough to accommodate countless people. Reiki, I have calculated carefully, your chance of success is at least 70%!"

   Gu Yan said: "If it fails, what will happen?"

  Ning Fengzi said: "That's actually nothing, that is, your Nascent Soul will be abolished, and you can only start from scratch in the future."

  Gu Yan nodded, if Yuan Ying was scrapped, then she would have to start cultivation from scratch. If she wanted to cultivate to Yuan Ying stage, she was afraid that her life essence would be insufficient.

At this time, Ning Fengzi said again: "If you don't plan to try this method, in a few hundred years, with the accumulation of spiritual energy in your body, there is also hope that you can advance to the rank, but in that case, the primordial spirit in your body, It will be even more incompatible with the main body, and there will be no hope of advancing to the post-primary level in life."

   She bit her lip and said, "I'm sure you don't expect this to happen, so even if you take a little risk, I want you to try this method!"

Gu Yan looked at her firm eyes and nodded silently, "Sure enough, only you are the one who knows me best." She paused and said in a deep voice, "I'll try this method, Fengzi, please. Pass on my nine-turn golden body art!"

  Ning Fengzi said with a smile: "Don't worry, although your intelligence is a little worse than mine, but as the saying goes, diligence can make up for clumsiness, you can definitely learn it."

   After saying these words, she sat upright in front of Gu Yan, her face became serious, and began to teach Gu Yan the profound meaning of the nine-turn golden body art.

The Jiuzhuan Golden Body Art is a law passed down by Ning Fengzi from ancient times. It is also used for spiritual body cultivation. When the two worlds were not separated, the human world was mostly a major practice in the period of refining and integration. And Ning Fengzi was not afraid of them in the slightest when he refined the Nine-Turn Golden Body Art to the seventh level.

   Gu Yan asked curiously, "Then what if you can cultivate the Nine Turns Golden Body Art to the highest level?"

Ning Fengzi was eloquently talking about the essence of the magic formula, when he heard Gu Yan's words, he was choked up, and after a long while he said, "The Nine Turns Golden Body Art has a total of 12 levels, but it has been handed down. The magic formula is only the ninth level. It is said that it was created by the Kunpeng **** king in ancient times. If you truly cultivate to the twelve level, you can become a **** king who is immortal and has the same lifespan as heaven and earth. Even in ancient times, No one has ever been able to cultivate above the ninth level, and someone who has cultivated to the seventh level like me is considered a genius among geniuses!"

Gu Yan couldn't help but smile, listening to her continue, Ning Fengzi said again: "Although I have only reached the third level of cultivation, I can already be compared with the monks in the Nascent Soul period. With the abundant spiritual energy in your body, you can feel at ease. Cultivation, there will be great achievements!"

The magic formula in Ning Fengzi's mouth is actually very short, but only eighty-one sentences. Every sentence sounds ordinary, but it contains extremely profound meanings. Gu Yan heard it at first glance. I understand, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized the profound meaning of it. Sometimes just a single sentence can make her think hard for several days. Three months have passed.

In the past three months, Gu Yan has completely let go of the outside world, the trappings of the Bixia Sect, the counterattack of the Demon Sect, and the general trend of Cangwu, all of which have been left behind by her, but she is only immersed in the legend of Ning Fengzi. In the magic formula, she felt that her understanding of the word "Dao" seemed to have entered a new realm.

Twenty-seven days later, the Seven Treasures Golden Pagoda under its control has completely refined the remaining soul power of Yuanshen, and the last trace of soul power has been collected by Jiuyi Cauldron and fed back to the cauldron in the Cauldron. Countless monster shadows. When Gu Yan finally woke up from the meditation, what he saw was Ning Fengzi's firm eyes. She nodded, "It's time to start!"

A cultivator's primordial spirit must be extremely fragile when it leaves the body. Although Gu Yan's Huo Lingying is unique and unusual, it can be born out of the body, and even control magic weapons to fight with cultivators, but when cultivating, it is still more than ordinary. The cultivator's body is much weaker, so Ning Fengzi decided to temper the primordial spirit for Gu Yan in the Chaos Cavern.

  Gu Yan was sitting on top of a piece of mysterious ice, she closed her eyes slightly, and read the magic formula, the Zi Palace in the back of her head was opened, and then Nascent Soul came out of the body.

The spiritual energy in her whole body seemed to have been sucked away at this time. The whole body was sitting on the ice, like a statue that was crystal clear and jade-like. Eyes open, they look so eerie,

This is different from her previous use of Nascent Soul to come out of the body and control the magic weapon to fight against the enemy. At this time, Nascent Soul does not have the slightest resistance. Although she knows that there will be no foreign enemies in the Chaos Cavern, Ning Fengzi still With her eyes wide open, Gu Yan gave her the Seven Treasures Golden Pillar and the Jiuyi Cauldron to control with confidence, which made her feel the heavy responsibility on her body.

Under the protection of the two immortal weapons, the surroundings were extremely quiet. Gu Yan whispered the magic formula, and Nascent Soul was sitting in the air with the same aptitude, sitting cross-legged. On her body, a layer of light gradually came out. Holy light comes.

   In Nascent Soul's almost transparent body, it can be seen that there are traces of thin lines crisscrossing the body, and that is countless spiritual energy, which is rapidly circulating. Ning Fengzi said in surprise: "Huo Lingying is indeed blessed by nature, if she successfully cultivates the nine-turn golden body art and becomes a queen, unless her life is exhausted, she will have no strength in Cangwu. Kill her Nascent Soul."

Gu Yan naturally couldn't hear Ning Fengzi's words. At this time, she had a very strange feeling, as if her soul had been pulled out of her body, while she was at the far end, paying attention to how her body still remained. exist in this world. This feeling made her feel mysterious and difficult to adapt to.

   There seems to be an invisible bridge between her Nascent Soul and the Dharma body, allowing the aura between the two to flow to each other. At this time, Gu Yan felt that what Ning Fengzi started to say really made sense.

   It is precisely because of the difference in realm between her body and Nascent Soul that her cultivation is still stagnant and unable to break through. The Nine Turns Golden Body Art is the biggest compensation for this.

  In the chaotic cave isolated from heaven and earth, time passed quickly like water, and time passed without realizing it. After a full nine months, Gu Yan finally cultivated the Jiuzhuan Golden Body Art to the third level. And Ning Fengzi also became nervous.

The previous practice is not difficult, because the spiritual body that the Fire Spirit Infant turns into is itself a Nascent Soul, and it is only a matter of course to cultivate to the third level, but if you think about advancing, you will usher in a real test, even There may be a catastrophe!

The    Seven Treasures Golden Banner has been suspended above Gu Yan's head to prevent the possible sudden thunder calamity.

In the past nine months, Gu Yan also felt a breakthrough in realm. She felt that there had never been such harmony between Nascent Soul and her own body. The two seemed to be truly integrated into one, and it was no longer the same as before. clear distinction.

Countless golden lights shrouded Nascent Soul and kept spreading outwards, and the countless mysterious ice in the Chaos Caverns were all white air, Ning Fengzi said in surprise: "She is actually able to It has touched the realm of 'the sense of heaven and man', and it is really very comprehensible."

Although Gu Yan's aptitude is normal, she has experienced the calamity of seven emotions in the return to the ruins. When she was born, she traversed the nine questions. Her understanding of the word "Dao" has reached a very profound level, and the cultivation of the spiritual body , Originally, it was through the spirit of chaos between heaven and earth to touch the inspiration in Hongmeng at the beginning of chaos. Under the opportunity, she actually reached the realm of heaven and man. Suddenly, on Yuan Ying's forehead, a little crystal light shone, as if in her body, it formed a golden elixir, and instantly The light was shining everywhere, the sky was full of flowers and the rain was fragrant, and the beginning of Nascent Soul slowly rose.

  Ning Fengzi's expression changed, and he said in a low voice, "Not good!"

This is an omen that the spirit body is about to advance to the rank, indicating that Gu Yan's Nascent Soul has successfully broken through the third level of the nine-turn golden body art, and started the fourth level of cultivation, but this kind of entry is really too fast. .

  According to Ning Fengzi's estimation, this process will take three to five years, but Gu Yan only took nine months, so I'm afraid that the spiritual foundation in the body will be unstable.

   She flew up and shouted: "Hey, little guy, now your master needs your blessing, come up with some skills!"

  Qiqi waved his small fists and looked like a great enemy was coming. At this time, above his head, the Chaos Cavern suddenly opened a gap, and then there was a thunderbolt that crashed down.

In the depths of the endless clouds and mists, three old men with white beards, long eyebrows, and young faces sat on top of a large stone covered with moss. The heavy body seems to have not moved for many years.

   Suddenly, the old man in the middle opened his eyes slightly, "There is a catastrophe in the vicinity, which monk is going to advance?"

After a while, the old man on the left said, "It's not the cultivator of this sect, who would come here?"

  The old man on the right said slowly: "This thunder calamity is not unusual. I think we will see this person soon."

   After he finished speaking, the three old men closed their eyes at the same time and returned to a long silence.

   At this moment, Gu Yan felt the strangeness in her body.

   She now feels like her soul has been pulled out of her body, but she can still clearly sense the condition of every inch of skin and every inch of meridians on her body. It was obvious that her body was sitting on top of Xuan Bing, but Gu Yan felt that her body seemed to have been divided into thousands of pieces, each piece as fine as sand, and within each piece of the body, There is a mass of spiritual energy that is constantly circulating, and it can burst out at any time.

   At this moment, the thunder calamity above his head has already come.

   The golden banner of seven treasures turned into a long rainbow through the sky, and quickly greeted it, and the seven-colored flames simultaneously covered the sky, instantly dispelling the thunder calamity overhead. But the second thunder tribulation followed.

The continuous nine thunderbolts slammed down at the same time, making Qi Qi, who was driving the seven fires, seem a little embarrassed. Ning Fengzi whispered: "Unless it is a natural spiritual body like this girl, otherwise, you must If Yuan Ying becomes a Dharma body, it is really difficult."

At this time, Gu Yan is already in an extremely difficult situation. If she takes this step, then her Yuan Ying will become a dharma body. From then on, she can be like Zhan Ruochen's celestial magic body. He is free to come and go, unless the Empress Yuan Xiu personally takes action, he will not be hurt.

   But if she can't withstand the continuous thunder, then the Nascent Soul will collapse, and her cultivation will be lost at once. Life and death are sometimes on the line.

  Ning Fengzi said to himself, "Looks like it's time to use this trick."

   Her palm brushed lightly beside her ear, and a flower crown appeared on top of her head.

  This corolla is woven with seven icy jade-like flowers, which is the icy leaf flower she got on the snowy peak that year.

Back then, Gu Yan and Zhou You traveled together, and Zhou You took seven leaves, and the seven petals belonged to Gu Yan, which was put away by Ning Fengzi at that time, and has been kept by her carefully until now, and finally sent it to Gu Yan. use.

   The seven petals flew into the air at the same time, and then they converged inwards, turning into a lotus pedestal, which was held at the feet of Gu Yan Yuanying.

   At this moment, the Seven Treasures Golden Pagoda finally could not withstand the power of the thunder on the top of the head, and the seven-colored flames slammed into the surroundings, and the thunder slashed straight down.

Without Gu Yan's control, with only one spirit beast, it was still unable to exert the full power of the Seven Treasures Golden Pagoda. After resisting the nine thunders in a row, a gap was revealed, and the thunder immediately slammed down, and Yuan Ying was swept away. Thunder passed through his body, and at this moment, Gu Yan couldn't help groaning.

   Every part of her body seemed to be scorched by countless flames. The boundless pain was something she had never encountered since her cultivation.

  Ning Fengzi shouted: "Hold on, it's the last moment!"

The seven ice-leaf flowers under his feet suddenly flew upwards, holding the thunder and fire above his head. Under the pressure of the flames, the originally crystal-like jade petals slowly merged inward and turned into a The villain, who is the same as Gu Yan, sucked all the flames away.
