The framework background, the Sage Foundation
[Introduction]
The Midland world was full of wonders.
In the center of the world, there was a scholar who had once used a sword to slash out a waterfall of the Milky Way. This was the person he was the most proud of.
At the edge of East Sea’s cliffs, there was a nameless Daoist who was unwilling to ascend to the peak of a mountain. He only wished for a cool breeze to brush against his face.
In the Western Pure Land, there was an old monk who liked to treat people to chicken soup and tell stories.
In the southern border of the Wilderness, there was a blind painter who controlled golden-armored puppets that were as tall as mountains to move the hundred thousand mountains, creating an embroidered picture.
A impoverished youth who grew up in the north. One day, he saw tens of thousands of Sword Kinesis Immortals above him, like a swarm of locusts crossing the border.
He wanted to see for himself the scholar that the storyteller had mentioned, the surging tides of the East Sea, the vast swamps of sand in the west, and the majestic mountains of the Southern Wasteland.
Thus, one day, the youth picked up the wooden sword and began to descend south.
(The four directions here are just the four sides of the map of China and the earth.) As for the World of Righteousness, it was only one of the four “World”).
Introduction 2:
The boundless universe was filled with all sorts of wonders.
I, Chen Ping, only have one sword. I can move mountains, turn the seas upside down, suppress demons, deal with gods, pluck stars, break rivers, destroy cities, and open the sky!
[Superclass]: The universe is full of wonders.
Humans coexist with ghosts, spirits, monsters and demons.
Overview of Cultivation: Cultivators are all referred to as Qi Cultivators. They train as one and draw on Qi (such as digging out ditches and canals), then nourish Qi (such as the acupuncture points and dantian, which are like a fortress), and then refine Qi (such as refining pills).
He opened his eyes first, then entered the Core Formation stage, and the Core Formation stage was like a drawing of a dragon’s finishing point. He truly began to ascend to the next level.
The “pill room” located in the Dantian was different from one person to another, and it was not separate from the five main elements: the lotus pond with swaying leaves, the lake with steaming clouds, the scene of the moon shining on the sea, the concept of the violet smoke coming from the incense burner, the snow-filled mountain pass, the Serene Dragon Pool, the Yama Hall, the eighteen layers of hell, the farmlands, the flower garden, the throne room, the ancestral shrine, the study, the lightning lake, the Clouds Immortal Realm, and so on.
Therefore, before a cultivator formed his core, he would usually delve into a unique method, known as “shortcut”, which was similar to the buddhist 16 visualization technique, or the so-called “book has a golden house”, “draft”, or “leisurely wandering” where the Taoist forgot to meditate. It was basically a strange scene that viewed heaven and earth, and was most suitable for one’s own soul. There were three main sources of the sights in the Pill Room. They could be observed from the ground, written down from hundreds of books, or they could even be some sort of “self-reliant sect”.
Once the nascent soul, which was known as the primordial spirit, was born, it would be able to leave the body and travel between heaven and earth, absorb the essence of the sun, moonlight, and drink the dew. The Nascent Soul was divided into two categories, the Yang God and the Yin God. The Confucius had many Yang Gods, because the Qi refined by the practitioner was the most Yang and Righteous Qi. Because the source of the Nascent Soul, it was an ancient Heroic Spirit formed from the soul of the battlefield.
[The cornerstone of the Immortal World]:
There were three main points. One: The soul and soul of a person cannot be destroyed. This was the foundation of the existence of demons and devils.
- “There is a god in men”: gods do exist, but humans cannot see them. This was also the foundation of the new book, “Divine Path System”.
Then, between man and god (or rather, heaven), there was a transition stage for the “immortal”, namely the cultivator, who was regarded as the “immortal” by the mortal world.
Third: the human will, or so-called spirit, the existence of these illusions can play a “materialized, solidified” role. This was also the foundation for one to cultivate to Immortal Ascension and longevity, otherwise, it would just be a penthouse in the sky.
The first point is that 1 + 1 is not equal to 2 (that is, the “real world” we are currently in is a very “low”, “crude” and “thin” world relative to the world of the new book, the Immortal World). In my opinion, the Qin Dynasty in the real world was still considered the “Age of Chaos”, but now, it was completely “beyond redemption”. Being the sole ruler of the Confucianism and the current “supreme numerator” were two major culprits, especially the latter, which directly restricted the thinking of people and stifled the sprouting. Of course, the depletion of spiritual energy in the later stages was also one of the reasons. These could become a big prize in the Immortal’s new book, such as the protagonist’s final incarnation of the “Bull Riding the West” Lao Tzu, the incarnation of Confucius and other saints. It could even be said that the world we live in is just a “paradise” created by the protagonist.)
The second point is that the world of the new book is vast and far-reaching (it is a horizontal area, and a three-dimensional space), and it is large and ordered, not messy.
The necessity for this lies in two aspects. On the one hand, I have always wanted to create a grand and epic new world, and on the other hand, this world must withstand the destruction caused by the cultivators of the great sacred arts, which “will not appear often, but it will definitely cause great harm”. The two aspects are the material destruction of the buildings of the secular dynasty and the massive destruction of mortal life, and on the other hand, the existence of cultivators, especially their destruction, will bring the spirit of the “world below the mountain” and the world of the common people, bringing about an indelible and extremely lasting impact. Therefore, the structure of the world of new books had to be grand, even larger than the “initial settings”. Only then could a “swaying, relatively stable order” be achieved, allowing the Immortal World in the new book to become more trustworthy.
[The Qi of the individual and the Qi of the empires in the dynasty] + [The Confucianism and the military of the two pillars of the secular dynasty] + [The various subordinate clans of the dragon faction] + [The complete system of the divine way]
Together, these four people were the main reason why mortals could fight back against Qi warriors.
Attachment 1, Confucianism, is that the gentleman often self-reflection, feeling the conscience, until he became a saint. Buddhism, on the other hand, is a peace of mind. Even if one is caught up in the abyss of suffering, one can still look forward to the next life. The Taoist was the most ruthless. This “ruthless” was the ruthless Heavenly Dao. His heart was like still water as he pursued the “dead heart”, so he needed to be indifferent and “ungrateful”.
Attachment 2, “plants become essence, especially difficult”, born with no acupoints. A hundred-year-old demon, a thousand-year-old plant essence.
Attachment 3: The monarch of the secular dynasty has great power of reward. But the phenomena of the good suffering and the wicked enjoying themselves are everywhere. If religion needs incense and believers, it must answer the personal questions that these people are concerned about.
Perhaps the other side of the real world was the happy land.
Many of the new religions, with their complex schools, irregular categories, and thousands of other religions, are short-lived.
The Emperor only dared call himself the Son of Heaven.
[General background of the protagonist in the Midland world]:
The Three Churches and Hundred Families, Nine Dynasties, Ten Righteous Sects, Ten Demonic Sects, Three Mountains, Five Lakes, Four Seas, and so on.
Confucianism or Confucianism was one of four orthodox temples under heaven that held the majority of the power of the secular dynasty. It used the Dragon Supporting Art or the Dragon Slaying Art to assist and control the monarchs, helping the monarchs to condense and suppress the destiny of a country. In the nine great dynasties of the world, there were five emperor’s masters. They were all saints of Confucianism, the rest were State Grandmasters (two Daoists, one monk), and one incomparably domineering female Martial God.
In this “righteous world”, the Confucianism, which held the absolute dominance, had eight universities and seventy-two academies, which spread throughout the world. A Confucian scholar who could resonate with the heavens and earth and thus nurture a righteous energy within the heart could be like the emperor who spoke of the Constitution, determined one’s life and death, and avoided ghosts and deities.
The Daoist Sect had thirty-six heavenly passages (and there was also a thirty-six heavenly passages, which were not unique to the Daoist Sect, but were divided up by the major powers), seventy-two Blessed Lands, the Ancestral Court was separated into the Moral Ancestral Court and the Xuandu Ancestral Court (the latter was located in the other ‘Qingming Heaven’, which belonged to the heavens), and the Taoist Ancestral Court had three, namely the Moral Sect, the Dragon Tiger Mountain, and the Danxia Mountain. The Heavenly Passage Paradise was filled with True Sovereigns that were known as terrestrial deities overseeing everything. They would kowtow and ask about longevity, and with just a few words, they could be prophetic and possessed unfathomable abilities.
The Buddhist Sect had 1808 Pure Land Buddhist Kingdoms in this world.
There were monks who painted the ground to make it into a Buddha; monks who begged for thousands of miles just to let the lotus flower fall from their hearts; monks who preached the law of the heavens and scattered the flowers and nodded their stone; and young monks who were praised as Bodhisattvas of the body and lived forever.
Other than this, there were also hundreds of other families. For instance, the soldiers that had been competing against the Confucian clan for the status of a dragon all this time. Their power was extremely great. Especially in places like the ruins of a battlefield or the ancient battlefield, their combat power was especially powerful, almost invincible. This was the same reason why monks in the Pure Land of Buddha and Taoists obtained the support of magic techniques in the Heavenly Passage Paradise.
Yin Yang Family: There are two types of family. The first is a member of the dragon faction who has climbed up to become a True Dragon. Most of them are employed in the Venerate Heavens Sect. There was also a type of official who was spread out among the commoners, spreading all kinds of songs and prophecies, and claiming to be the official of the imperial government who was “in charge of all the world’s discussions”. To a large extent, this could determine the public’s position of a certain official of the imperial government.
Sword Cultivator: used to be a Sword Cultivator in the world of righteousness, it could be said to be a ‘one on one’ situation, suppressing the rest of the hundreds of families to the point where they couldn’t even raise their heads. But for some reason, after a thousand years, the achievements of the Sword Cultivators have become more and more insignificant, and there are very few Sword Immortals with superb strength. This involved a huge insider story, because with a certain location in the Southern Wilderness as the entrance (breakthrough), there was a wall that had been standing at the border between the two realms for ten thousand years. Even now, there were still over a hundred thousand people (historically, they were called criminals or migrators) occupying this place, protecting the world from the invasion of tens of thousands of demons in the desolate world. As a result, in the past thousand years, the Desolate Land has begun to end the chaotic battle between the heroes of the realm. As a result, the impact on the city wall, which was named “Sword Qi”, has become increasingly stronger, causing the over one hundred thousand sword cultivators to gain more Sword Dao Qi, causing the number of sword cultivators in the middle earth to gradually decrease, giving the illusion that the sun is setting in the west. "
Attachment: With the change of history, other than the fact that the Academy is still completely in the hands of Confucianism, a portion of the earliest Blessed Paradise and Pure Land, the Buddhist Kingdom, has already been occupied by other powers.
Therefore, the “Immortal Mansion” that was filled with spirit energy naturally had all sorts of conflicts, and they also separated out the orthodox sects, orthodox demonic sects, and so on.
[The Sage of the World]
In between the streets and alleys, people and ghosts would coexist peacefully. In the homes of ordinary people, there would be a mischievous little demon that would secretly stir up conflict, causing discord between husband and wife. There were those who ate gold, silver, and copper as food. There is a group of neighbors living in a row of pagoda house (more than a thousand years of old tree) in the monster.
Day after day, the Cyan Snake Demon watched those infatuated women bid farewell to the poor and poor scholars. It never had a good ending, so it felt that the scholar was the most heartless of all.
Once, he didn’t even try to jump into the dragon gate. He lived at the bottom of the Yellow River and had seen countless of his kind fail miserably.
There was the most favorite Buddhist Buddhist chanting, morning and evening drums of the yellow sparrow spirit, finally fell in love with an innocent and cute little Shami.
In an ancient temple deep in the mountains, there was a young fox fairy who liked to seduce handsome scholars, but her methods were terrible.
There was a weird monk who was born with an indestructible body and was a ten-thousand-year old monster who admired Buddhist mantras.
There is a thousand zhang tall primrose on the eastern shore of the sea. If the flower cannot blossom, then spring will not arrive. There is a wutong tree in the northwest, leaves do not fall, autumn do not decline.
Some extremely destitute cultivators of the Sword Dao would be hired when they were doing great things in the market. They would wear colorful clothes and fly in the air, winning cheers from the street.
The flowers, birds, fishes and insects that were raised by wealthy families were all sorts of strange things. There was the Dragon Beard Carp that could freely swim in the air without any water source, the Lotus Tongue parrot that spoke like a human and was good at flattering others, and the giant lake rocks that formed its own picture scroll …
[The Worldly Spirit of the Immortal World]
In this world, there were sword arts gangs that specialized in passing home letters and letters to other people, especially using flying swords.
Many of the major sects that are not proficient in all fields hire specialists (such as the Yin and Yang families who are adept at vacations, the accountants who manage the finances, etc.) to sign contracts to help with gang affairs.
The powerful Mo family and the gangs with many cultivators and craftsmen would constantly interact with the imperial government. They would use various methods to request and exchange for those places with relatively abundant spiritual energy, and then create a “fake Blessed Land”, which was advantageous for cultivation, such as various Cloud Sea Islands, aerial attics and mirage, and so on. Then, there would be a large number of cultivators and even the nobles of the mortal world that were willing to spend a lot of money to enter, cultivate, or retire.
[The Immortal Qi of the Immortal World]
Moving mountains and seas, returning ten thousand swords to the sect, capturing ghosts and demons, asking gods to suppress demons, everything was possible.
[Four Worlds]:
The “righteous energy” of the Central Earth Divine Region was also called the “Haoran” of the world.
Almost everyone in the world was a monk or a believer in Buddhism. The existence of this world was able to suppress the continuously rising “Underworld Underworld”. The latter was also known as the fifth world, the Netherworld.
The Three Purities World, also known as the “Qingming World” that was overseen by the ancestors of the Daoist Sect, was a place where all of them could pass through in order to protect themselves from the invasion of the “Transformed Sky Demons”.
In the desolate lands occupied by billions of demons, there were almost no humans. Their vitality was thin, so they had always coveted the rich resources and spirit energy in the Midland world. It was only because of the barrier created by the Sword Qi Great Wall, which stretched for thousands of miles, that they were unable to cross the border.
Three continents, five great lakes, and four seas. Except the five lakes, which were located in the middle of the earth, the rest weren’t located in the righteous world.
[Paradise Blessed Land]: Thirty-six heavenly passages, seventy-two Blessed Paradises, with the majority of the Daoist Sect; the imperial government occupying two to three, with the Heaven Bestowal and the title of Righteous God in charge; the remaining one fifth is jointly occupied by several first-rate sects; half is abandoned and is reduced to ruins, secret realms, and remnants of formations.
Attachment: Below the mountain, especially outside the Blessed Paradise, to cultivators, this is a filthy land. This is an iron law of cultivation. Those on the mountain were the words’ immortals’. In other words, those who had achieved Immortal Ascension on the mountain were able to see through the heavens.
After going down the mountain, it was like going against the current. Miasma, baleful aura, and yin aura were like an army pounding the ground, endless and ceaseless. If their foundations were unstable, it would be as if the city was too low and their forces were scarce. In an instant, they would be destroyed, their city guards would be defeated, their cultivation would be lost, and they would retreat if they didn’t advance.
Only by reaching the Earthly Immortal Realm could he completely ignore them. Core Formation? His base level allowed him to begin absorbing Essence Qi. The mutual improvement, the combination of water and food, the struggle for the dragon and tiger — the necessity of entering society and going down the mountain, one had to go through the road. Many large sects on the mountain (caves, ‘ponds’, etc.) (foot of the mountain) had constructed a ‘secular world’, where they gathered together with the families of the outer court servants.
