Two years passed by in a flash. A very peaceful night
The ceiling of the room was lit with gems, and it was extrely bright. Min Tian sat in his usual position, with Min Rou on the left and Min Hong on the right. The table was covered with the usual nu with the exception of the vegetables and fist size guava from the field.
Min Hong obliterated the entire at on the table whilst raising his head up to speak; "Grandpa, Mother!"
"What is it, little one?" Min Tian and Min Rou looked at Min Hong. Although Min Hong's intelligence filled them with boundless joy, it wasn't startling, because this vast world contained many people who were devilishly clever.
"I want to train!" Min Hong said seriously. "I wish to cultivate to beco an immortal!" He added.
Seeing the serious look on Min Hong's face, Min Rou began to laugh. "Train to beco an immortal? Father, my son wishes to train to beco an immortal!"
"Immortal?!" Min Tian looked at his grandson coolly. "Do you know what it ans to train to beco an immortal?!"
"I don't know. Please enlighten , grandpa" Min Hong said respectfully. Actually, after reading so many books, Min Hong already knew about it long ago. But as a five-year-old child, there was no need to appear too intelligent as King Yama's warnings still rang in his head.
"Then I will let you understand." Min Tian's voice was solemn. "First, let's talk about the ridians before explaining the seven known stages."
"All cultivation techniques in our Min Family requires one to at least, have opened 20 ridian channels. Naturally, your 8 great ridians should appear at the age of three, but because of the condition of your body, I think you'd have to wait till you're seven years old before you can start training in cultivation techniques."
"But in training cultivation techniques to beco an immortal, there are seven known stages, and mortals who wish to train must ascend in the following order;
"The first stage; Qi creation stage. One would be able to condense the natural energy of the world into Qi and use it to temper the body. Life span of a hundred years."
"The second stage; Qi sea stage. In addition to the previous stage, one would create a storage for the Qi and would be able to draw from its reserves when doing battle. Life span of three hundred years."
"The third stage; Dan formation. In addition to the previous stage, One's Qi sea would condense and transform into a Dan where a Qi soul is incubated. Life span of five hundred years."
"The fourth stage; Nascent Soul. In addition to the previous stage, The Qi soul in the Dan erges after being nurtured by the Dan Qi and this awakens divine abilities and also births soul flas. Life span of a thousand years.
"The fifth stage; Saint Stage. In addition to the previous stage, the nascent soul in the body is purified by soul flas and then it begins to shed the mortal nature of the expert. The expert gains flight ability. Life span of five thousand years."
"The sixth stage; Nirvana. In addition to the previous stage, the saint soul is purified by nirvanic flas and is free from absolute death by the cycle of reincarnation into the sa world. One will be able to also manipulate the threads of karma and form spirit flas. Life span of ten thousand years."
"The seventh stage; Immortal stage. In addition to the previous stage, the spirit flas purify one's soul and gains the ability to split their souls and form a primal twin; a sentient independent soul which is linked to the main soul. In this stage one can live forever except the soul shattered." "Also, one's appearance would stop aging at this stage. Therefore, the younger an immortal appears, the more talented and dangerous that expert is."
"Each stage is furtherly separated from One star to Nine Stars." Min Tian stared at his grandson intently, expecting to see the look of awe and shock on his face, but Min Hong just listened intently.
"You say you wish to train to beco an immortal. Thus, I want you to know how hard it is." Min Tian's voice beca more solemn at this stage. "The first obstacle was Nascent Soul formationThis is because before forming a nascent soul one must be able to at least sense the Laws of one of the five elents of nature; Earth, Fire, Lightning, Water and Wind." "There were so experts who was also able to sense the Laws of supre elents like; Space-Ti, Life & Death, Yin & Yang and Light & Darkness."
"This will determine the types of elental Nascent Souls one would be able to form, and this determines the type of elental law one would be able to manipulate." "Also, this determines how strong one's saint soul would be.
An expert who ford his saint soul from the rger of two elental nascent souls will naturally be weaker than one who ford his from the rger of three elental souls and so on."
"The second obstacle are the fla tribulations in which one must pass from the saint stage all through to the immortal stage and are as follows;
Saint Stage Soul Fla Tribulation
Nirvana Stage Nirvanic/Rebirth Fla Tribulation and;
Immortal Stage Spirit Fla Tribulation."
"If one could survive these obstacles and tribulations one will naturally beco an immortal. But, if one fails, the fla tribulations will incinerate the person's body and even the person's soul will vanish. Moreover, for an ordinary mortal to embark on the path of cultivation, by its very nature, is against the will of the heavens, making it very hard. The success rate is lower than one in ten thousand! Tell , is it difficult or not?!"
Min Hong nodded. Right, it was indeed difficult.
Min Tian and Min Rou looked at the Min Hong who was currently wearing a look of shock and disbelief, Min Tian smiled coldly, he had finally managed to quench the eagerness within Min Hong.
"Father, Hong'er is still very young. Why did you tell him all these scary things?" Min Rou said unhappily.
"Mother" Min Hong raised up his head, a smile on his greasy lips. "It's fine".
Min Tian looked at him in surprise.
"Grandpa." Min Hong laughed. "The nascent soul obstacle alone is extrely difficult. The fla tribulations are very distant and still far off. I don't need to worry about them for now."
"Mm." Min Tian nodded. Your attitude isn't bad. You're right. Currently, there's truly no need for you to think about becoming a Nascent Soul expert. That's too far away for you. Even in the vast Soaring Cloud Village, the strongest people are only at the Nascent Soul stage."
"The path to immortality is a hard one, even our massive East Wind Empire would perhaps produce only a single Immortal stage expert in the space of a million years."
Min Hong nodded gently.
"Hong'er, do you still desire to train to beco an immortal?" Min Tian asked looking at Min Hong.
"Yes." Min Hong nodded affirmatively.
Min Tian nodded slightly. If the boy had been terrified just by hearing these things alone, he would have been disappointed. In the world of cultivation, cool headedness, a steady heart and resolute mindset is extrely important.
What he didn't know was how could Min Hong be easily terrified? There was nothing without risk. Even when eating, one could choke to death. Therefore, training to becoming an immortal is an extrely risky path. It would be bizarre if it wasn't.
"However," Min Tian frowned. "Your body is too feeble and you're still too young. Training techniques are very complicated. If I was to give you a high-class immortal training technique to you and you train in the wrong direction, it would harm you. But ordinary techniques aren't worth learning either."
"Grandpa," Min Hong spoke. "I wish to learn a body refining technique".
"Eeh! You know about the body refining?" Min Tian was extrely surprised while Min Rou began to laugh. "It seems this little one has read quite a few books. He even knows that there are two main paths to immortal training."
There were two primary paths to immortal training; The first being Qi Refining, Refining Qi energy! 99% of all experts who cultivate choose this part. This part allowed one to use many mysterious treasures, create complicated puppets, control many deadly magical beasts, develop magical formations and also use so vile techniques.
It was indeed a very glorious and profound path.
The second path was Body Refining; supposedly, there were techniques which allowed one to train their body, these techniques would allow experts to possess the bodies of Devas and Asuras, having three heads six arms, transforming into various prival mystical and mythical beasts, regenerate from a drop of blood and even undying bodies.
All of these belongs to the Body Refining Path of Immortal Cultivation.
