I, the only extraordinary in this world

Chapter 71 Impossible
"Immortal?"

This two-character blood book is already very scribbled and frantic, it can be seen that the person's spirit was quite unstable when this sentence was written.

Even though Li Heng's spirit was already very strong and stable, he was still shocked by the obsession conveyed in this text.

He really couldn't understand, in this day and age, there are really people so obsessed with becoming a fairy?
In this era of technological prosperity and mysterious fading, no one should be so foolish and superstitious as to think that immortals really exist, right?
What's more, just looking at these remnants, this person will definitely not be a stupid person, on the contrary, he is extremely wise.

But maybe it was this wisdom that made him so caught up in it that he seemed to have been studying it all his life.

The way to immortality!

These large numbers of letters, notes, and paper manuscripts are records of different time periods and different progresses.

There are so many of them that even if Li Heng mobilized all his mental power to use "quantum reading", he couldn't finish them in a short time.

And looking at these things, Li Heng even had a sense of familiar resonance in his heart.

This feeling is as if I kept recording and researching my own experience in my hometown!
It's just that this person's research direction is not the same as his own. He studies completely with the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, Dan Dao, Yi Li and Zen Buddhism, and does not involve modern scientific knowledge.

And the time span of his research and records far exceeds his own.

These records likely spanned decades, covering most of his life in its entirety.

This is a person very similar to himself.

Li Heng keeps studying all kinds of knowledge, delving into his own human body in order to pursue the extraordinary, and this person is knowledgeable in ancient and modern times, worshiping Buddhism, studying astronomy, Yili, alchemy, alchemy and alchemy, in order to become an immortal!
However, the difference between the two lies in - he did not [turn the mortal into a saint].

This is obvious. Although this person has studied and practiced for many years, and has a deep understanding of Taoism, Buddhism, medicine, Yixue and other theories, he is still a mortal body and cannot be magical.

Just like those great scientists, they have understood the laws of nature in their respective fields at an extremely deep level, far surpassing ordinary people, but this knowledge cannot help them transform themselves in turn.

Knowledge can bring power, but knowledge does not equal power.

And this person is obviously deeply troubled by it, no matter how advanced his knowledge is, no matter how thorough his understanding is, it is impossible for him to cultivate into a fairy in this mortal world!
In this regard, his change of temperament is almost clearly reflected in these manuscript notes.

In addition to a large number of academic annotations and research, he also left a lot of his own ideas, and the change of his mentality can be clearly seen between the lines.

From the beginning of seeking knowledge and asking penetratingly, years of dedicated research, to the various questions that appeared in the annotations in the later period, it all means that he has fallen into self-doubt.

"When will the pill be completed? When will the pill be completed?"

"Qi, what is it? Is the 'Qi' I understand really the so-called Jing Qi?"

"The primordial spirit without form is something out of the law of heaven. How can it be done from the virtual to the real? How can it be done?"

"Bodhi does not have a tree, and a bright mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place. Where can I get dust... If my heart has no external objects, I will have no motivation to seek the Tao. If my heart is stained with dust, the spiritual platform will be ignorant."

So far, I have only questioned the Zen principles and Taoism I have studied, and reflected on my own differences.

But as Li Heng continued to read, as his practice continued.

"Am I wrong again? Am I wrong again?"

"If the spiritual root is not manifested, the true nature is not known. How can a mortal see the mystery of the sky?"

"Dan is not completed, not completed!"

"Another year... 30 years... 30 years..."

"what--"

Between the lines, one can even see a delirious appearance of mumbling delusions and infatuation.

Later, these changes showed that his mental state had contradicted the Taoism and Zen principles he had studied. He was completely unable to achieve peace and tranquility, and his emotions and thoughts were completely dominated by the obsession of becoming an immortal.

But Li Heng can also understand to a certain extent that this pedantic and talented seeker has come with purpose and desire from the very beginning.

At the very beginning, he also used to meditate and calm down, with a peaceful mind and nothing but seeking the Tao. Otherwise, he would never have been able to study and seek for 30 years, just like an ascetic monk who did not seek any fame, fortune, or wealth, and even moved in the end. Come and meditate quietly in this uninhabited cave dwelling in the deep mountains.

In terms of this perseverance and sincerity, it can be said that the vast majority of the so-called Buddhist monks in the world today are not as good as they are.

However, time does not wait for mortals, 30 years have passed, even if he has knowledge of ancient and modern wisdom, his mortal body is still a mortal body after all.

"There are true spiritual laws in the world, but there is no corresponding legal person"

In a text that was discarded in a corner, Li Heng found such a sentence. The handwriting that wrote this sentence was loose and powerless, and one can imagine how pessimistic and powerless the author was at that time.

In just one sentence, Li Heng saw the despair of a modern immortal seeker.

But from the sentence he wrote, it can be seen that he firmly believes that there is a real spiritual platform in this world, and there is a so-called "true spirit method", but there are no human beings who can accept this method.

Li Heng pondered this sentence in his heart:

"In other words, there really is a transcendence in the world, but this transcendence cannot be obtained by humans?"

Li Heng couldn't help but "look" at the panel in his mind, there were still a few simple words, marking his simple attributes and extraordinary abilities.

This sentence has to be associated with the [Transformation into Saint] that I have.

Is this the so-called "True Spirit Law"?
Am I the only human being who can accept this method?
But he has neither studied, nor understood the truth, nor has he practiced penance for half his life, so how can he inherit this "true spirit law"?
Li Heng immediately shook his head and stopped his thoughts.

"You can't fall into this spiral of thinking. Everything here is just the conjecture of this person, and you can't deduce it as an established truth."

"A modern practitioner, a persistent seeker of immortality, can refer to what he thinks and gains, but cannot fully use it, and he must not believe it all or not."

His mind remained calm and peaceful about these astonishing discoveries.

"Sure enough..."

With the follow-up reading notes, Li Heng can already confirm that the buried headless corpse at the foot of the mountain is the owner here, the immortal seeker who wrote these things.

There is no other reason, and time waits for no one.

Thirty years have passed, and his life has reached his twilight years, but the way of immortality is elusive, and the possibility of him transforming into an immortal has never appeared.

He has studied and tried all the techniques of righteous practice.

The only thing left is the unorthodox way of doing things.

According to his records, he also mentioned such bloody and terrifying methods as blood collection, ecstasy, life sacrifice, human pill, etc., but he gave up all of them.

After all, he had practiced for half his life, and he couldn't accept these techniques that hurt his body and his life.

In the end, he chose this little-known [Tree Immortal Method], which originated from an article written by an unknown person and written in an unknown dynasty [Yi Immortal Canzhai Ban].
