"When I first heard this, I was even more shocked and excited than you are now, and I was determined to practice to the realm of Martial Void."

Of course, Dongfang Ting didn't know that Ling Yun was excited because he heard "a fellow practitioner". He thought that Ling Yun was the first time he heard about a cultivator, so he shook his head and smiled, with a depressed expression on his face, "The way of Shu is difficult, it is harder than going up to the blue sky", and continued:

"Thinking about it now, that is really a naive idea of ​​young and ignorant. I think I am ridiculous. Then I can't even think about dreams. At most I just want to fantasize..."

Ling Yun asked in surprise: "Why? Is it difficult to cultivate to the realm of Martial Violence?"

Dongfang Ting smiled tragically: "It's not just difficult, we all know that the path of martial arts begins with strengthening the body, and then practicing the internal qi according to the martial arts mind method, refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, practicing spirit into return to emptiness, refining emptiness and combining with Taoism..."

The process of this cultivation is the same everywhere. Ling Yun nodded seriously and signaled Dongfang Ting to continue speaking.

"However, with so many ancient martial arts families and so many secret sects in China, how many people can break through the seventh level of acquired? Even if they have worked hard to break through the seventh level of acquired, how many people can break through the innate realm?"

Ling Yun quickly waved his hand to stop Dongfang Ting's words, and he interrupted and asked, "Is it difficult to break through the innate realm?" He raised his hand and pointed to Dongfang Ting and Dugu Mo who was still immersed in the cultivation, and continued, "You two, aren't you going to reach the innate realm soon?"

Ling Yun continued to point to the corpses of Ximen Gang, Shangguan Jue and others in front of the stone gate, and asked, "Have they all reached the level above the eighth level of acquired nature?"

Dongfang Ting smiled and nodded, and praised, "Good question!" Then he explained with a smile, "If you can't reach the acquired level, you don't even have internal energy, so let's not talk about this."

"The first level of acquired qi to the third level of acquired qi, and they just had internal energy. These people know how to increase internal energy and proficiently run internal energy. Generally, as long as people who can cultivate internal energy, they can easily reach the third level of acquired qi, and it takes a very short time."

"The fourth level of acquired nature is a hurdle. Once you break through the fourth level of acquired nature, you will naturally know how to use internal energy to cultivate and strengthen your meridians and dantian. All practitioners start to differentiate from the fourth level of acquired nature..."

"You know, because everyone has different physiques, everyone's dantian and meridians are different!"

"Even if you practice internal energy, everyone's dantian and meridian development and expansion are far different. This is the question of qualifications."

"What's more, cultivation involves everyone's IQ, understanding, character perseverance, etc. Combined, these are actually a person's qualifications..."

Speaking of this, Dongfang Ting stared at Ling Yun without any concealment and said excitedly: "For example, Ling Yun, your qualifications are not an exaggeration to describe them as strong as the heavens..."

Ling Yun smiled: "Brother Dongfang has won the award, I can't afford it..."

Dongfang Ting smiled without comment and continued: "Cultivation is to cultivate oneself, and the quality of one's own qualifications determines and limits what level he can reach in the future."

"Cultivation, qualifications are decisive, but not the only factor, because with one's own cultivation, everyone's interpersonal encounters are different, qualifications can rely on various spiritual herbs, spiritual medicines, and treasures of heaven and earth..."

Speaking of this, Dongfang Ting raised his hand and pointed to the nearby ambergris, and smiled and said, "For example, ambergris here..."

"Also, even directly open up the meridians with the help of manpower. Or directly swallow the pills that increase internal strength... etc., qualifications can be changed through these things!"

"Then it is the martial arts that everyone practices. The reason why there are so many secret sects and ancient martial arts families is that the martial arts practices are different. Although they end up with different paths, the process is difficult and easy, with fast and slow, and the skills are different. Of course, the speed of improving one's own strength is different..."

"After reaching the fourth level of acquired nature, everyone began to cultivate the dantian and meridians. At this time, everyone's differences in qualifications, encounters, skills, speed of strength improvement, and the gap in strength between the same realms began to be reflected..."

"Some people may be in their forties or fifties, or even spend their entire lives, it is difficult to reach the seventh level of acquired status;"

Ling Yun thought of the killer Diba, Master Mieqing, Taoist Liu Deming and others, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

"And we..." Dongfang Ting glanced at Dugu Mo and pointed at himself: "We are all born in ancient martial arts families, and we must be better than ordinary people in terms of qualifications. Because of the living environment, it is almost the same to start practicing martial arts from the womb. In addition, there are various magical medicines that assist in cultivation at home, and the elders in the family have personally guided and practiced, and the practiced techniques are also suitable for their family blood..."

"All these factors add up, of course, it is much faster to practice than ordinary people. The others are just the level of diligence and hard work of everyone..."

"So as long as the qualifications are not too bad, our direct descendants of the ancient martial arts family can usually break through the seventh level of the acquired world before the age of twenty!"

"But from the seventh level of acquired nature to the peak of the ninth level of acquired nature is the final stage of refining essence into qi, and a larger differentiation gap begins to appear. Before the age of twenty, being able to reach the nineth level of acquired nature can be considered a genius among geniuses."

"At this time, qualifications become the most critical factor. The better the qualifications, the faster the peak of the ninth level of acquired level, and the faster the speed, the more advantage it is, because this will receive the attention and focus of the family!"

"Of course, as long as we can break through the seventh level of acquired nature, we can usually reach the peak of the nineth level of acquired nature by relying on time. The difference is just the strength of our strength..."

"The next thing is our problem at the beginning. From the peak of the ninth level of acquired nature to the breakthrough of the innate realm, this is the most difficult, because this is the transition from the stage of refining essence and qi to the stage of refining qi and sacrificing qi, what is required is understanding!"

"Qualifications can be changed, and the practice can be changed. But the understanding is your own! No one can help this!"

"We all know that cultivation is to go against the will of heaven. Once you break through the innate realm, people can start breathing internally, that is, fetal breathing state, and have a certain level of spiritual consciousness. Refining qi into a spirit, isn't it just to start practicing spiritual consciousness?"

"Countless cultivators worked hard to cultivate to the peak of the ninth level of acquired level, but were blocked by an invisible door here. They could not break through the innate realm in their entire lives. This ratio is pitiful. At most, there are two of the ten strong men at the peak of the ninth level of acquired level who can break through the innate realm!"

"Like our ancient martial arts family, which has been developed for thousands of years, now each big family only talks about the direct line, at least thousands of people, and countless people have reached the peak of the ninth level of acquired level. Of course, the ages are different... But there are only a few pitiful masters in the innate realm. Some families only have a dozen..."

Dongfang Ting smiled bitterly, Ling Yunxin said that the spiritual energy on earth is so thin, and the cultivation environment is cruel. It is already very powerful for an ancient martial arts family to have this strength.

"So that's how it is..." Ling Yunmingran. After reaching the innate realm, without the help of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it would be extremely difficult to improve every small realm, let alone a big realm.

"How many of these people who have reached the innate realm have reached the peak of the ninth level of the innate level?"

Dongfang Ting smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The peak of the ninth level of the innate? If each family can have one that breaks through the seventh level of the innate, it is already the treasure of the tribe. If any family has more than two, it can be almost gone sideways!"

"I have never heard of the ninth level of the innate, so don't mention the peak of the ninth level of the innate..."

"No one can even reach the peak of the ninth level of the innate level, so let alone the martial arts and shattering void, it is more difficult than reaching the blue sky. So it's just a legend..."

Ling Yun was disappointed when he heard this, thinking that the cultivator was still just a legendary existence? He had reached the ninth level of Qi training stage, so wasn’t he invincible at that time?

"Has anyone ever reached the state of practicing the spirit and returning to the void and shattering the void?" Ling Yun asked afterwards.

"Yes! Tai Chi Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng!"

The two of them were having a speculation and were immersed in without realizing it. They didn't notice that Dugu Mo had finished his cultivation at some point, but he did not stand up, and still sat cross-legged in place to consolidate his realm, and suddenly answered.

"Senior Zhang Sanfeng has reached the realm of Martial Shattering Void, and even higher..."

Dongfang Ting also nodded and said, "Yes, Zhang Sanfeng has indeed reached the realm of Martial Shredding Void. This is a recognized thing for both the ancient martial arts families and the secret sects."

"After all there is one..." Ling Yun nodded with a little comfort and asked again: "Is that true storyteller really just a legend?"

Dugu Mo could say more than Dongfangting, and he kept talking: "Hehe, strictly speaking, cultivators are really just legends! But some cultivators who have reached the innate realm will also have some magical Taoist techniques. They all claim to be cultivators, which is difficult to define..."

This is indeed difficult to define. The realm of a cultivator also has high or low levels. For example, Ling Yun is still practicing the third level of body. He is a real cultivator, but he is just a cultivator who has just begun to practice.

"Congratulations, Brother Dugu, I drank a bottle of ambergris, but I didn't expect that you would reach the peak of the ninth level of acquired level. It's really...it makes me ashamed!"

Dongfang Ting looked at Dugu Mo carefully and found that he had reached the peak of the ninth level of acquired nature, which was very shocked.

Dugu Mo stood up and stood up. He frowned and touched the back of his head, and said strangely: "It's very evil... A few days ago, I was confused for a while. As soon as I woke up, I found that I was in a strange place. When I went back to meditate and practiced that night, I found that there was a very powerful aura in my body. I suddenly broke through from the peak of the eighth level of the acquired to the ninth level of the acquired. At that time, I found that I was practicing much faster. This time, the function of that aura was even stronger than ambergris..."

"At that time, I clearly remembered that I was coming on the Longpan Mountain Tiger Cliff, but why did I get there? Oh, by the way, Lingyun, I saw the beauty dancing with you that night..."
