The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes
Chapter 827: Cultivation Realm
In this world, there is Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism... There are dragons, turtles, and Kui... There are even immortals!
However, heaven and earth are not benevolent, and treat all things as straw dogs. Immortals are not benevolent, and treat the common people as ants.
In order to seize good fortune and provide for themselves, the immortals secretly made plans, landed on the mortal world, competed for supremacy in troubled times, established a unified dynasty in the chaos, and enjoyed all the good fortune in the world from then on.
However, although there are many straw dogs in the world, there are also some people with extraordinary talent. In the past, there was Lu Zu Lu Dongxuan who blocked the way to immortality with a sword, and in the later period, there was Wang Xianzhi, the "second best in the world", who guarded the gate of heaven alone.
From then on, the affairs of heaven are managed by the gods, and the affairs of the world are managed by humans.
The world of Snow Blade has truly ushered in an era of great strife.
In the original snowy world, there was the Northern Mang Dynasty in the north, gazing covetously, and in the south there were Liyang, Western Chu, Western Shu, Northern Han, Great Wei, Later Song, Later Sui, Eastern Yue, and Southern Tang. The nine kingdoms were divided and the situation was chaotic.
However, it is in times of chaos that one's true heroic qualities are revealed.
The Liyang Dynasty, the most powerful of the Nine Kingdoms, gave birth to a rare grassroots hero - King Xu Xiao of Beiliang.
This man rose to power from humble beginnings. He joined the army and started killing people at the age of ten. He went from killing the northern barbarians in Jinzhou in the northeast to destroying the six major and minor states in the south and massacring more than seventy cities. He then went to the southwest to suppress the sixteen tribes of barbarians.
Xu Xiao fought on the battlefield for decades and made great achievements for the Liyang Dynasty. He became the only remaining king of a different surname in the Liyang Dynasty - the King of Beiliang, and ruled over the three northwestern states.
At this point, the world became a situation of confrontation between the two major dynasties of Beimang and Liyang in the north and south.
The Beimang Dynasty in the north covered eight states, namely Gusai, Longyao, Dongjin, Xihe, Jinchan, Yuchan, Baoping and Juzi. The land was fertile but sparsely populated.
The Liyang Dynasty in the south added thirteen states after the Northern Liang King Xu Xiao conquered the six kingdoms of Later Sui, Western Chu, Later Song, Western Shu, Northern Han, and Great Wei, and the general Gu Jiantang conquered the two kingdoms of Eastern Yue and Southern Tang.
Together with the original territory of the Liyang Dynasty, there were a total of nineteen states, making it the undisputed overlord of the world.
Originally, the Liyang Dynasty had already developed its national strength to its peak. If it could continue to conquer Beimang in one go, it would be able to achieve the unprecedented feat of unifying the world.
However, Li Yang's number one hero at that time, King Xu Xiao of Beiliang, had already become a threat to his master because he controlled three northwestern states and had 350,000 cavalry.
In order to prevent Xu Xiao from becoming too powerful, the old Emperor Zhao Li of Liyang secretly devised a plan to stop Princess Wu Su of Beiliang from giving birth to the Prince of Beiliang.
So the old emperor joined forces with the imperial teacher Yuan Benxi, the human cat Han Shengxuan, the sick tiger Yang Taisui and others to plan a siege on Wu Su.
Although Wu Su managed to escape the siege by temporarily breaking through to the "Land of Fairyland", she was left with a chronic illness and died after giving birth to her youngest son Xu Longxiang.
From then on, King Xu Xiao of Beiliang began to feel resentment towards the Liyang Dynasty. The situation in the world actually evolved into a three-way confrontation between Liyang, Beimang and Beiliang, and the world thus entered a brief era of peace.
However, as the weakest of the Three Kingdoms, Beiliang seemed to be in a strong position and invincible, but in fact it was being bullied from both sides and was in a precarious situation.
Although Xu Xiao was a hero in his lifetime, he could only be a defender of the status quo. As he grew older, he no longer had the energy to make progress.
This is Beiliang today, and this is also the current situation of Fang Hao, who is about to take over.
"In the original novel, Xu Fengnian should be the reincarnation of the Zhenwu Emperor from the fairy world. How could he become me? Could it be that the formation in the Zhenwu Palace back then was the reincarnation formation set up by the Zhenwu Emperor? Am I... using someone else as a substitute?" Based on the existing information, Fang Hao followed the clues and actually discovered some truth.
"No, with the power of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, it should be effortless to find my reincarnation, but why didn't he do it?" Fang Hao was confused again. He didn't know that it was because he inherited the cause and effect left by the Yellow Emperor among the Five Emperors on Xuanyuan Terrace that the Great Emperor Zhenwu believed that he was the backup plan left by the Yellow Emperor, so he was spared.
Fang Hao kept sorting out the memories and the contents of the original work in his mind, combining them with his real identity as "Xu Fengnian", and thinking about what he should do next.
"In the world of Snow Blade, there are not only dynasty struggles but also martial arts battles. Without world-shaking martial arts, you will be restricted in what you can do. So the most urgent thing is to improve your martial arts first," Fang Hao thought to himself.
In the snowy world, martial artists are divided into nine grades according to their armor-piercing abilities.
Among them, damaging the armor but not breaking it is the lower three grades; breaking less than six armors is the middle three grades; breaking eight or nine armors is the upper three grades.
Among the top three grades, the second-grade masters are also called small masters, and the first-grade masters are further divided into four levels.
That is, the Vajra Realm, the Mysterious Finger Realm, the Celestial Realm, and the Land God Realm. They all have different sizes and authenticity, usually the best ones are the big ones, and the worst ones are the fake ones.
Generally speaking, a Buddhist monk can attain the Vajra realm after entering the first level, a Taoist monk can attain the Zhixuan realm after entering the first level, and a Confucian monk can enter the Tianxiang realm after entering the first level.
The practitioners of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism only cultivate a single realm. When they cultivate to the extreme, they can ascend to heaven in one step and enter the immortal realm on earth.
The immortals on land are the result of three different paths leading to the same destination. They are blessed with good fortune, but their number in the world is limited. Only when other immortals on land die or ascend to heaven can new immortals on land be born.
In contrast, ordinary martial artists not only need to strengthen their muscles and bones, but also need to temper their will and comprehend the way of heaven.
Therefore, the path of a warrior requires one to go through four levels: Vajra - Finger Mystery - Celestial Phenomenon - Land God and Immortal, and finally to achieve a comprehensive understanding of them.
Because a warrior's realm is the product of the superposition of multiple realms, generally speaking, a warrior of the same realm has stronger combat capabilities than people from the three religions.
But nothing is absolute. Among Confucianism, there are alternatives like Cao Changqing, the "invincible official", and among Buddhism, there are strong men like Li Dangxin, the "living Buddha".
There is no absolute distinction between the three realms of the first grade, Vajra, Zhixuan and Tianxiang. Who is higher and who is lower can only be known after a real fight.
As for the immortals on land, they can shatter the void, open the sky with swords, fly into the sky, ride on cranes, or fly with swords.
Once you enter the immortal gate and ascend to the fairyland, you will become a celestial immortal and can live forever. The Zhenwu Emperor that Fang Hao has seen is a big boss among the celestial immortals and the emperor of the fairyland. He is already the most powerful fighter in this world.
But if you leave the immortal gate, it will be like being banished from the immortal world, and you will become a banished immortal and will no longer be able to live forever.
Emperors can also use the method of reincarnation to unify the world through their clones and gain massive luck.
Ordinary celestial beings don’t have such abilities. They can only obtain the luck of the human world through remote control and fishing in the human world.
Of course, if you can pass the immortal gate without entering, and choose to stay in the lower world, you will become a celestial being on land and can also enjoy longevity.
Wang Xianzhi is currently in this realm. If a celestial being can achieve the unity of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, he can achieve the celestial being realm of immortality. From then on, it will be difficult to find an opponent in heaven or on earth, and he will truly be invincible in the world! (End of this chapter)
