Practice starts with skill points.

Chapter 496: Nine Deaths to Heaven
"The difference between the Life and Death Realm and the Yin and Yang Realm lies in the comprehension of the mysteries of life and death, but you know that the Life and Death Realm is also the most dangerous realm for a warrior to practice." Xi Xuan said solemnly.

Zhong Lin's expression changed slightly, and he straightened up a little, quietly waiting for his master to answer his questions.

"As long as one has the skills and resources, one can reach the six realms of martial arts: acquired, innate, spiritual, extraordinary, mysterious elixir, and yin and yang. The only difference is the strength of the foundation. When it comes to the realm of life and death, resources are no longer enough. One needs to comprehend life and death and switch back and forth between them.

The Life and Death Mirror has extremely strong vitality and terrifying recovery ability. Even if its heart is blown up and its limbs are cut off, it can still recover. Therefore, it is also called an immortal body, and this is related to the power of life.

As for the power of death, it is something that can only appear when breaking through each small realm, and it is also the death calamity of the Life and Death Sutra.

If one cannot survive the catastrophe of death, the power of death will decay the body and soul, leading to complete death.

Therefore, the realm of life and death is a powerful and dangerous realm. Many warriors who have cultivated to this realm are unwilling to use force at will, because once the power explodes too violently, or if too much power of death is used, it is very likely to bring about their own death and complete destruction.

There are countless geniuses and prodigies in the world. Our Heavenly Sword Holy Land occupies an entire region with a population of more than billions, but we have less than a hundred disciples who have truly reached the realm of life and death. Do you know why?
Because they all perished in the calamity of the life and death realm, including figures like the eldest brother."

Xi Xuan sighed a little.

Zhong Lin also felt emotional. Senior Brother Tu Ye was a powerful king. Someone like him naturally had the potential to become a king. Such a person would also perish in the realm of life and death, which shows how terrifying this realm is.

Xi Xuan also felt the change in Zhong Lin's expression, and his heart tightened, fearing that his words would make his young disciple lose his spirit, so he quickly said:
"The greater the genius, the more terrifying and dangerous the calamity will be.

But on the other hand, once you get through it, the benefits you gain will be extremely amazing compared to ordinary warriors in the Life and Death Realm.

It can only be said that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.

Ordinary people in the realm of life and death are always trembling with fear every time they cross the calamity of death, fearing that they will die, and even choose to suppress their own cultivation for this reason.

Those who truly seek the truth are not afraid of death and regard it as their own training.

In a sense, the realm of life and death and the realm of nirvana are also two realms for ordinary cultivators to counterattack.

In the realm of life and death, one can comprehend the mysteries of life and death and be reborn in the midst of life and death. If one can find a way to increase the difficulty of the death calamity and then overcome it, it can make up for the shortcomings of insufficient grades of Xuan Dan and Yin Yang Gang Sha to a great extent, increase one's own foundation, and broaden one's own path of martial arts.

As for the state of Nirvana, there is no need to say more. Nirvana is rebirth and sublimation.

These two realms allow ordinary warriors to counterattack, and also allow geniuses to have the hope of making further progress and catching up with stronger ones. It is very mysterious.

Unfortunately, most warriors lack the courage to strengthen their own mortality, to be reborn from life and death, and to ascend in nirvana."

Zhong Lin remained silent. How many warriors could face life and death head-on?
Warriors in the Yin-Yang Realm have a lifespan of two thousand years and can enjoy many wonderful things in the world. How many people are willing to take this risk?

Even if he always made safe choices when fighting, what happened to King Shenhuang could only be considered an accident.

"Master, I want to enter the holy realm." Zhong Lin suddenly said.

"Ok?"

Xi Xuan naturally saw through Zhong Lin's thoughts easily: "You want to use the opportunity of entering the Saint Realm to comprehend life and death? This is indeed a good choice. Although your cultivation is a little insufficient, with the help of the "Immortal Sutra", you can meet the requirements. Have you thought about it? If you are really willing, I can pay you with contribution points."

"Master, please help me." "Okay, in the next few days, you can spend more time in the Sutra Library reading some of the cultivation notes left by the seniors in the sect."

"Yes."

After saying goodbye to Xi Xuan, Zhong Lin went directly to the Sutra Library. In addition to a large number of martial arts, the first floor of the Sutra Library also contained some notes and travel notes left by the disciples of the Sword Pavilion, which could well satisfy Zhong Lin's understanding of the realm of life and death.

The entire realm of life and death is divided into nine heavens, also known as the Nine Deaths to Heaven. This means that in this realm one needs to go through nine death tribulations, and only after completing the nine tribulations can one be reborn into Nirvana.

three days later.

Zhong Lin put down the last jade book in his hand and let out a long breath.

"It's worthy of being the most dangerous realm in martial arts practice. It's truly a life-or-death struggle. If any mistake is made, you'll truly perish."

"But this doesn't mean I don't have an opportunity. No wonder the Shenhuang King and others from the Zhantian Holy Land are so concerned about the inheritance of the Immortal Evil Emperor. It turns out the root of the problem lies here."

To cultivate to the realm of life and death, one needs to go through nine death tribulations. If one is not careful, he will completely perish. Ordinary warriors fear death, so they suppress their realm by force, but true seekers live towards death.

Living towards death does not mean seeking death, so warriors in the life and death realm will seek a lot of life-saving treasures.

For example, elixirs, spiritual fruits, secret techniques, etc.

The Three-Element Healing Holy Pill that Zhong Lin had previously refined for the Green Rose Saint of the Hundred Flowers Holy Land was such a treasure.

An eighth-grade elixir that can heal all injuries and restore one's cultivation to peak condition. No matter if one is seriously injured or on the verge of death, or if one's cultivation is damaged, one only needs one Sanyuan Healing Pill to quickly recover as before. It can be called a holy product for healing.

With such a pill in hand, you can survive even the most catastrophic disaster.

However, treasures with such effects, whether they are elixirs or spiritual fruits, are extremely rare. The Green Lotus Saint almost emptied her family fortune in order to refine the Three-Element Healing Pill. What is truly cost-effective are exercises and martial arts. After all, spiritual pills and spiritual fruits are difficult to regenerate, but exercises, if mastered, can benefit you for a lifetime.

For example, "The Sutra of Immortality".

The five realms of "The Immortal Sutra" each have their own mysteries. If one can cultivate the fifth level of rebirth by dripping blood, the nine fatal disasters in the realm of life and death can be overcome with ease.

"Hmm! In that case, I still have to refine the Immortal Sutra as soon as possible! But then again, I contributed such a wonderful method to the sect, but why haven't I seen any rewards? Could it be that Master withheld it?"

Dark thoughts flashed through his mind, and his mind was immersed in the "Immortal Sutra".

The "Immortal Sutra" is divided into five levels. Zhong Lin has only completed the third level "Headshot Immortality" so far. In this way, his physical body will be no less immortal than the General of Life and Death, or even better than him.

Relying solely on the third level of the "Immortal Sutra", Zhong Lin is confident that he can overcome the first six tribulations in the realm of life and death. If he can cultivate the fourth level of "Five Elements Immortality", he won't have to worry about the realm of life and death at all.

"The so-called five immortal elements are: fire cannot kill, water cannot kill, metal cannot kill, earth cannot kill, and wood cannot kill."
