Martial Arts and Longevity: Starting from the Spiritual Beast Picture

Chapter 271 Picture Scroll
Hearing Uncle Wu say that the atmosphere in the Xuanyuan Continent has a five-layer structure, Zhao Lin felt very familiar and awakened certain memories from his previous life.

But after hearing it, I realized that the five layers of atmosphere here are completely different from what I remember.

Six hundred feet up from the ground, the area within this height is called the aura layer.

The concentration of aura in the aura layer is the highest, and there is no evil spirit or strong energy, it is suitable for all kinds of creatures to survive, including monks and mortals of course.

Cultivators above the Foundation Establishment Realm can fly at this level, and monks in the middle and late stages of the Qi Refining Realm can also do this with the help of flying magic weapons.

But there is a relatively big problem in the aura layer: the air is too dense.

This makes the resistance extremely high when flying, and it is difficult to increase the speed.

To fly faster, you have to go high, into the next layer of the atmosphere: the cloud layer.

Hearing this, Zhao Lin nodded secretly, thinking that this was reasonable.

When a person is standing, he is faced with great wind resistance. Even if a monk has abundant mana, it is estimated that it will be difficult to reach a speed of more than [-] kilometers per hour. Reaching a speed of [-] kilometers per hour like an airplane is even more impossible.

Unless... the monk is flying on his stomach or lying down.

But that is not only unsightly, but also easy to be attacked.

According to Uncle Wu's explanation, the cloud layer, as the name suggests, is near the cloud layer and is between [-] and [-] feet from the ground.

But it's not absolute, if it encounters a high mountain barrier, this layer will also rise.

For example, on a thousand-foot-high mountain, there are usually only the spiritual energy layer and the cloud layer on the mountain. If there are spiritual veins on the mountain and a spirit gathering array is arranged, then there is only the spiritual energy layer.

The air in the clouds is thin, and the resistance to flying is naturally small, so the foundation-building monks can fly quickly in it.

However, the cloud layer is very "thin", and the upper and lower intervals are only about [-] feet. There are often evil spirits flowing from the upper "evil energy layer", forming a turbulent flow of evil spirits.

The airship that everyone was riding on was flying in the clouds. Although the boat was equipped with a protective magic circle to resist the turbulent flow of evil spirits, it was still unavoidable to be impacted.
This is the reason for the bumping and shaking of the airship just now.

Foundation-building cultivators can withstand short-term impacts of evil spirits, but if they want to fly in this layer for a long time, only cultivators above the Purple Mansion Realm can do it.

The third layer is the evil spirit layer.

The evil spirit layer is full of evil spirit, and its thickness can reach thousands of feet.

The air here is thinner, and the resistance to flying is smaller, but the fourth layer of qi often seeps in.

In the same way, cultivators in the purple mansion realm cannot stay in the evil spirit layer for too long, which is also quite difficult for ordinary airships.

Only the monks at the Golden Core Realm, the God Transformation Realm, and the spirit boats equipped with more powerful protective circles can cope with it.

The fourth layer: Gangqi layer.

The raging wind in the stellar atmosphere is extremely destructive, and low-level monks cannot survive here. Only monks in the realm of transformation, long-distance sailing ships, and large warships can shuttle through it.

The huge boat that guides everyone is flying in this layer.

The fifth layer is the void layer.

The void layer is almost a vacuum, with no aura, evil spirit and stellar energy, but there are more powerful extraterrestrial thunders.

Any living beings appearing here will be bombarded by sky thunder.

Even if a cultivator in the Transformation God Realm takes a hit, it will inevitably end in ashes and smoke.

At present, no monks or spirit boats can fly in the void layer.

Only when a cultivator in the realm of transforming gods breaks through the realm, recasts the physical body and soul, and enters the critical ascension state, can he withstand the thunder.

But whether he can survive depends on his cultivation and luck.

After Martial Uncle Wu finished speaking, the teenagers quieted down, silently recollecting what they had just heard.

"God Transformation, Ascension..."

Zhao Lin's heart was ups and downs. The monks in Xuanyuan Continent wanted to ascend, but they had to endure the bombardment of sky thunder. It seemed that the road to immortality was long and difficult, and it was not so easy to obtain.

After a while, Lin Chaoran broke the silence and asked, "Uncle Wu, is it difficult to control the airship we are riding now? You were the one controlling the huge boat before?"

Uncle Wu nodded, "To control the spirit boat, you need to control multiple magic circles at the same time, so that the spirit boat can attack and defend, accelerate and decelerate, rise and fall, turn left and right, etc. The larger the spirit boat, the more difficult it is to control."

"Actually, I didn't control the giant boat alone. There were two other fellow Taoists who assisted. They were stationed all year round, so they didn't follow."

As he spoke, he glanced at the two green-robed monks sitting on the platform, "You may not have imagined that manipulating a flying boat is also a Taoist skill."

Zhao Lin wondered if he knew how to drive a car in his previous life, so he wondered if learning how to control a flying boat would make him faster?

Lin Chaoran bowed and thanked: "So that's the case, thank you, Master Wu, for clarifying the confusion."

Martial Uncle Wu has the responsibility to lead new disciples into the sect, so he is happy to talk more about the sect when he sees that everyone listens with gusto.

A strange and novel world of comprehension is revealed in front of everyone.

The Chenghua Sect was established 5 years ago, and it is the oldest sect in the Xuanyuan Continent.

Lingmi and Lingcha, which are widely planted in the cultivation world today, all originated from Chenghuazong.

Chenghuazong was the first sect to raise silkworms and use them to make vestments.

Not only that, Chenghua Sect was also the first sect to create the Five Elements spell.

The first to discover the function of spirit veins and the method of making and cutting spirit stones.

The first to create runes and make talismans.

The first to study how to arrange the array.

The first Foundation Establishment Pill in Xuanyuan Continent was also made by a monk of Cheng Huazong...

Uncle Wu proudly displayed the achievements of the sect one by one. The teenagers listened with reverence and were very excited that they could join such a sect.

Zhao Lin's heart was agitated slightly, and he felt inexplicably fond of Cheng Huazong.

A disciple asked: "Uncle Shi, when can we go to the sect?"

Uncle Wu laughed loudly when he heard the words, "This is already the boundary of the sect!"

"Is it already the territory of the sect?"

The disciple glanced down and asked puzzledly, "Where is the sect in the barren mountains and mountains below?"

Martial Uncle Wu stopped laughing, and said seriously: "My Chenghua Sect has a vast territory, and there are nearly [-] monks. They don't gather in one place, but live scattered."

Hearing that there are nearly [-] monks in the sect, the teenagers were dumbfounded.

Zhao Lin didn't feel too surprised. He had roughly estimated the number of Cheng Huazong monks before, and the number of [-] was not too much.

Uncle Wu went on to say: "Cultivation is inseparable from the spiritual veins. Although the sect stretches for tens of thousands of miles, the spiritual veins are limited after all. Most monks practice in high mountains and deep valleys with spiritual veins."

"My Cheng Huazong has thirteen high-level spiritual veins, and hundreds of middle and low-level spiritual veins, large and small."

"In order to facilitate management, the sages of the sect followed the example of the common people and divided the entire sect into thirteen states, and each state has multiple counties."

Speaking of this, Martial Uncle Wu smiled, "The state and the county are just titles, and the actual perception is very different. You will naturally understand when the time comes."

"The place we are going now is Hanchi County in Nanhezhou."
