After a cultivator's primordial spirit grew strong, he would immediately face the final stage of dividing his spirit into Qi. This was also the final stage of whether a cultivator could become a Yang Spirit or not!
Dividing Spirit into Qi referred to the extreme application of a cultivator's own primordial spirit. Through a secret method, the primordial spirit would eventually come out of the body and form a brand-new body. This body not only referred to the body of the spirit, but also the body of flesh and blood!
This process would introduce a lot of concepts of time and space, because the ability to regenerate after becoming a Yang Spirit was actually the ability of the Yang Spirit to be reborn. It would reflect on one's own past and future and become a limited immortal body.
In order to divide one's spirit, one had to first establish a few basic points. For example, where should one place one's past and where should one place one's future? Only by establishing these and having something to refer to could one truly begin to divide one's primordial spirit.
After Lou Xiaoyi had first beheaded the Yang Spirit, he had thought that his Flying Sword had really gone to his opponent's past and future. Later, as his knowledge became wider and wider and his realm became higher and higher, he realized that the Flying Sword had not really flown to the past and future.
In the Cultivation World, the so-called cutting off one's past and future was actually just the affirmation of a cultivator's past in his sea of consciousness. The plan for the future was a mysterious category of superconsciousness.
Then, when the cultivator was ready to split his spirit into Qi, he had to choose a past for himself in his own consciousness, a past that could establish his true spirit. In the future, his rebirth would be based on this spirit as the foundation, reflecting in the void.
He needed to choose a future direction, a life plan, a cultivation method path, and a view of the universe, and persevere in the future. This was the reason why it was impossible to change the direction of cultivation when one reached the stage of Primordial Spirit and Yang Spirit. They could no longer change their sect just because they had obtained some great inheritance. This was because not only did they deny their past, but they also overturned their future. In other words, they had lost the ability to be reborn!
Dividing Spirit into Qi was a key step before becoming a Yang Spirit. Its basic idea was to trace one's true self outside the body through the division of one's own primordial spirit. Due to the rules of the Way of Heaven, it was impossible for two true selves to exist in the same sky. Therefore, it was possible to blend the way of time and space, integrate the past and future, and achieve the immortal body of the Yang Spirit!
Once this virtual Yang Spirit was separated, it would immediately fall apart under the rules of the Way of the Heavens because it could not coexist with the main body. However, if the main body died, it would immediately reflect its true nature from the past and the future and trace back to itself.
This was the secret of rebirth. The key was to create a separate self!
However, in ancient times, the rebirth of the Yang Spirit was even more troublesome than it was now. At that time, if a cultivator wanted to reach the upper realm of the Yang Spirit, not only would they need a self, they would also need to transcend the self!
In this way, three of me will be able to prove the Great Dao of Yang God! This was a path that all cultivators of the Ancient Arts had to take! Including Lou Xiaoyi!
This was the major divergence that occurred after the beginning of the Yang Spirit stage!
To put it simply, the current improved cultivation method created the path to the upper realm: the Primordial Spirit comes from me — the Yang Spirit — the decline of the corporeal body — the decline of the Dharma power — the decline of the Primordial Spirit — the decline of the lifespan — the decline of the Dao Heart — and become a Human Immortal!
As for the path to the upper realm of the Ancient Arts, it was: the Primordial Spirit comes from the self, transcends the self — the Yang Spirit — slay the three corpses and become a Human Immortal!
The modern version of the path to advancement was relatively simple. Moreover, there were traces to follow and laws to rely on. One step at a time, it was solid. Cultivators would clearly know where they were, what they needed to cultivate, what they needed to pay attention to, where they were weak, and where they needed to strengthen. Then, they would mobilize all their resources to achieve it!
It was like there was a high wall in front of them. The wall existed there. How could they get over it? You can find a ladder, tie a rope, put a stake in the wall, build a mountain, ride a balloon, or drill a hole in the ground. There are always many ways. According to the characteristics of your martial arts, you can always find a suitable way to cross the wall. Even if you fall to your death in front of the wall, you can at least touch it, right?
The advantage of the Ancient Arts was its speed! On this point, the current cultivation method could not catch up!
It did not consume a lot of time at all. It could easily take tens of thousands of years to travel through the Blight realm and be trapped to death in an unspeakable place! It directly skipped five Blight realms, slay the three corpses, and become a Human Immortal!
Of course, the Ancient Arts also had a fatal weakness! There were no traces to be found and there was no way to rely on. You did not know where you were, nor did you know how to work hard. You did not even know the direction to advance. Like a headless fly, you could only passively wait for a rare flash of inspiration!
It was also a wall, but the wall in the upper realm of the Ancient Arts was a wall that could not be seen, touched, or felt! You did not even know where it was? How high was it? How thick was it? Were there any thorny traps on it?
All the cultivators who fell under this wall died of depression because they could not even touch the wall. They wasted their lives in the long river of time.
This was not the most painful thing! The most painful thing was that the time they spent waiting was abnormally unbearable. Modern cultivation method cultivators had the ability to be reborn at the Yang Spirit realm, so they had many opportunities to correct their mistakes. However, the Ancient Arts cultivators were much more embarrassed!
The Ancient Arts had to cultivate three selves. In the past, the self was oneself. In the present, the self was oneself. In the future, the superego was oneself!
In other words, the three selves that the Ancient Arts had to cultivate were actually the past, present, and future!
However, the aftereffect of this method was that because the Ancient Arts had cultivated three selves, the past and future selves were no longer hidden and obscure. They were like guiding lights, hanging high up. As long as one reached the realm, they would be able to see them. There was no need to guess at their opponents at all. They just had to kill them!
Therefore, the rebirth of the Ancient Arts Yang Spirit was a joke. If someone had the ability to kill him in the present world, then they would definitely have a way to kill his past and future!
The Ancient Arts Yang Spirit had no secrets!
This was almost fatal! How many dangers were waiting for them in the long process of waiting for the next realm breakthrough in the Yang Spirit realm? If the ability to be reborn was reduced to this extent, then what was the difference between the Yang Spirit and the Primordial Spirit?
There were all kinds of reasons, such as the difficulty of killing the three corpses, the development process of the Cultivation World, the actual need to hide the past and future of the Yang Spirit realm, and countless other reasons, which slowly developed the current cultivation path of the Declining Realm.
This was also the reason why Lou Xiaoyi kept showing off in the Main World, but no so-called evildoers were willing to come out and deal with him!
This was because the evildoers were now cultivating the Ancient Arts. The Ancient Arts did not hide the past and future. For a fierce person like the Swordsman, the possibility of death was too high!
Lou Xiaoyi had not started to divide his spirit into Qi. It was not that he did not value it, but that his realm had not been completely consolidated. Under normal circumstances, he needed to completely consolidate his Primordial Spirit before he could start to divide his spirit into Qi. However, this world was not a normal one!
It was a mess! Therefore, everyone was rushing forward, trying to make the best preparations before the change of the era.
It was not entirely his fault. If he did not enter the Interior Heaven, he would not have known that he was already in the First Severing. There were many things that could be arranged in advance, and there was no need to follow the old system!
For example, now, if he wanted to be beaten less, he had to create his future superego first!
