Start with the jailer

Nearly ten thousand bodies were eager to escape.

It was like nearly ten thousand horses that were originally running side by side, but suddenly they all found their own direction...

That is countless times more horrifying than being torn apart by five horses.

In addition, his entire immortal body, immortal energy, and even his soul were being eaten by these nearly ten thousand bodies...

Li Qingfeng's source of consciousness could only watch quietly.

"Is enlightenment... so difficult?"

"Didn't Yao Fangxun also use the Hun Tian Dan..."

"unwise……"

"I shouldn't have let Yao Qingyang devour Yao Fangxun. If I had detained Yao Fangxun and put him in the Heavenly Prison, I would have been able to experience the enlightenment state of the Hun Tian Dan in advance when I killed him and extracted his martial arts..."

However, according to Li Qingfeng's speculation, Yao Fangxun and even all other living beings who have swallowed the Hun Tian Pill are probably facing a state of enlightenment that is different from what he is facing now.

After all, others simply create a martial art by combining their lifelong knowledge of martial arts and corresponding martial arts experience.

Even if one is at the level of a saint, after swallowing the Hun Tian Pill, he can only create a heavenly-level magical weapon.

But he had been dreaming of creating a true magic technique since a long time ago.

Just like when a mortal has the thought of beauty, his vitality is damaged, but the damage is less than that caused by actually doing what he wants.

But the very thought... is already wrong.

Therefore, Confucianism strictly requires self-discipline and sincerity, while Taoism pursues the pursuit of no desire, no thought, no imagination...

Perhaps, the strange experience and state of enlightenment at this moment originated from Li Qingfeng's previous intention to create immortal arts.

"Now there is no such thing as the state of enlightenment as imagined..."

In imagination, enlightenment should be entering a state of eternal tranquility, without any thoughts, and using the [Heavenly Heart], [Self], or [Primordial Spirit] to promote the integration of all martial arts-related cognitions and even all life experiences, and finally form a clear enlightenment from quantitative change to qualitative change...

“Perhaps, this is the martial arts state of the immortal way?”

This makes sense and is self-consistent.

After all, the core essence of cultivating immortals is [tranquility]. Only by quieting your heart to the extreme can you truly touch the path to immortality.

This state of eternal tranquility is as common as eating and drinking water for those who cultivate immortality. How could enlightenment be possible in this common state as eating and drinking water?
"Now... only the original mind can still move... The rest of the thinking and cognitive souls have been cut out according to different time points... Split into more than 9,000 different selves..."

"In other words, if this isn't a dead end, then the only way out is through thinking, cognition, or... the same belief that runs through my entire life?"

Persevere!

Be consistent!
These two words are also the core keys of Confucianism and Taoism in Li Qingfeng's previous life.

The former is about setting a goal and then persevering with it, while the latter is about having that one single goal that runs through everything…

That is to say, in the ever-changing world and among all things, there is one unchanging thing.

The only thing that remains unchanged is the root of why I am me.

"in this way……"

“Is it the Datong belief?”

Just at the moment when Li Qingfeng's original thinking thought of the belief in Datong, a tiny red light flashed from the position of the heart of his more than 9,000 bodies at the same time.

The moment that tiny red light flickered...more than nine thousand perspectives suddenly felt as if their vision was broken.

Li Qingfeng's original thoughts were slightly agitated: "Is it really so?"

"Being consistent and persevering... really means finding the one thing that remains unchanged amidst all the changes, finding the most fundamental thought that runs through my life... So... I am who I am?"

"So, the me in the past, present, and infinite time points... is all me?"

"In that case..."

The mind is determined.

At the same time, among the more than nine thousand Li Qingfengs in the inner world, with different thoughts and cognitions, different cultivation levels, different physical strengths, and different memories, suddenly, a red light flashed again at the location of the heart in each of their bodies.

And it becomes brighter little by little!

Red, began to light up this world within the body!
The red color spread like ink, and the entire inner world seemed to be completely enveloped by the scorching red color.

During this process, the more than 9,000 Li Qingfengs suddenly seemed to come alive, as if they all had a more lively presence...

Until one moment, more than nine thousand Li Qingfeng turned bright red at the same time.

Just like the figures of the eleven red giants supporting the sky and the earth in the Dao rhyme generated by Li Qingfeng’s state of mind!
The red figure seemed to naturally possess a warm and strong aura, and naturally possessed a kind of care for all living things in the world...

An aura that makes the world equal... is rising in this inner world.

At this time... the nine thousand seven hundred and sixty-three figures of Li Qingfeng suddenly began to devour the particles of blood, flesh, immortal energy, and other particles of Li Qingfeng's body at an accelerated speed. At the same time, the nine thousand seven hundred and sixty-three Li Qingfengs suddenly began to expand...

At the same time, the space of rate emerged automatically and strangely.

The 48,000 infinitely parallel lines flashed different lights.

This is the level of rate that Li Qingfeng is very familiar with.

With his current strength, he can even control tens of thousands of rates at the same time. If he goes all out, he might be able to control 20,000 rates, and can directly kill a strong man at the 200,000-step Tianren Wuduan Cliff at the rate level.

"The enlightenment of the combination rate?"

"It is indeed a fairy technique..."

But before his thoughts were fully condensed, at the moment when the thought just emerged, Li Qingfeng's original thoughts were surprised to see his nine thousand seven hundred and sixty-three bodies.

The nine thousand seven hundred and sixty-three red giant phantoms suddenly sank into the level of rate, and suddenly led two or more rates to intertwine with each other.

"Could it be..."

"Nine thousand seven hundred and sixty-three..."

This is a very special number.

As early as when he resurrected the Wu clan's Ban Yu, Li Qingfeng already knew that at the time of cause, in the level of rates between heaven and earth, in addition to the 48,000 rates, there were also 9,763 concepts!

The concept-level life of gods and demons, the Qi Dao realm of the Wu clan... actually refers to the ability to directly control concepts, or even become one of the concepts...

However, as the heaven and earth changed dramatically, concepts were annihilated, and the matrix of the world was reduced to only 48,000 rates, later creatures no longer had any conceptual terms, and later practices no longer had any steps to master concepts or transform them into concepts.

But at this moment...

Nine thousand seven hundred and sixty-three selves, nine thousand seven hundred and sixty-three concepts...

Is this... to transform one's own past time nodes into a concept?

Is it the matrix level and concepts that create the real inner world?
Li Qingfeng's original thoughts vibrated slightly.

It was also at this time,

He saw it.

Seeing that his nine thousand seven hundred and sixty-three bodies were formed by the condensation of countless time nodes, they really turned into the intersection of rates at the rate level of this inner world, that is, they turned into concepts!
At this moment... Li Qingfeng could even claim that he had reached the conceptual level.

The moment the nine thousand seven hundred and sixty-three concepts were completely formed, a loud roar rang out.

The red color spread throughout the entire inner world, and then spread and filled the entire inner world, that is... Li Qingfeng's own golden elixir body, or immortal body, calamity body!

hum!
It is like the clear sound of heaven and earth, and like the sound of bells and drums.

It is said that after Fuxi created the world with one stroke, he created five musical notes to cure the diseases of the people. The five musical notes are Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu, but also bells, flutes, qins, drums, and flutes...

At this moment, the clear sound rising from the heaven and earth within Li Qingfeng sounded like the sound of a symphony of bells, flutes, zithers, drums and flutes.

Li Qingfeng only felt that all his five internal organs seemed to receive some kind of unspeakable nourishment at this moment.

At the same time as this buzzing sound resounded, at the rate level, 9,763 bodies that were intertwined with the 48,000 rates and became 9,763 concepts suddenly flashed out.

After leaving a little red light spot as a new concept, the 9,763 Li Qingfeng returned to Li Qin's body in all directions like red meteors and red waterfalls.

They carried the most original information of rates and concepts, as if carrying all the information between heaven and earth, and then crashed into the world of heaven and earth inside Li Qingfeng's body.

Also at the same time,

Li Qingfeng's original thoughts suddenly flowed out from the depths of the sea of ​​​​mind and fell into the thirty-three-petal green lotus in the Niwan Palace in his mind.

At the same time, the nine thousand seven hundred and sixty-three Li Qingfengs who had turned into red giants were flashing, flowing back into the thirty-three-petal green lotus like rivers returning to the sea, and merging into Li Qingfeng's original thinking at this moment.

Divide and unite!
It also carries almost infinite information, information about rates and concepts.

Information belonging to the entire universe...

Just like the moves Peng Long had used before, the collapses again and again rolled back more matter and energy...

A loud bang resounded.

Li Qingfeng understood clearly that at this moment, he had truly begun to realize the truth!

From this moment on, he could be said to have truly activated the state of enlightenment that could be led by the Hun Tian Pill!
As for how long it would take him to gain enlightenment and create the first immortal art in the world, and thus regain consciousness... he was not quite sure.

At this moment, he was simply caught up in a process of eliminating and refining other alien thoughts with Datong as the core and red as the foundation.

And in this process, you can truly integrate all your cognition and knowledge, and finally create your own magic!
……

Time passes quickly,

Soon it was December 23rd of the first year of Datong.

The sound of firecrackers rang out continuously in the streets of Houtuzhou.

People all wore festive purple and red robes.

There is still no snow in Ancheng today.

In addition, the entire human race was freed from the Dragon Emperor's curse, and had gained several benefits from Li Qingfeng's training. Everyone was wearing light clothing, just like in summer.

The front hall of the human race ancestral hall is where the leaders of the six tribes, including Xiao Jiangshan and Zhou Huanran, gathered.

The Hall of Ten Thousand People is the place for meetings, but as for the Fairy Mountain, it is impossible to allow everyone to enter.

If the heads of the six departments gathered in Xinglou, it would probably cause some unnecessary speculation and rumors.

The common people's academy is likely to disturb the students.

Jiantianyuan and Jiutianyuan are not suitable for too many people to visit.

Therefore, this high-level discussion, which could not be called a meeting, was held in the front hall of the Human Race Ancestral Hall.

At this moment, with the appearance of Yu Xuanwei and Ming Yayin, everyone was present.

Zhou Huanran waved.

The teapot flew out and poured tea for Ming Yayin and Yu Xuanwei who had just arrived.

Zhou Huanran finally spoke up: "It's already the Little New Year, and it will be the Big New Year in seven days. But the emperor has not shown any signs of coming out of seclusion..."

Retreat is actually not something unfamiliar to veteran warriors.

I don’t know how many veteran warriors have gone into seclusion several times in order to break through a bottleneck, and each seclusion lasts for years.

It was after this year and a half of rise that the human race successively broke the curse of the Dragon Emperor and repeatedly received benefits from the immortal organization's tribulation. In addition, the immortal organization's leader, His Excellency, brought a ray of immortal energy to the world not long ago, and the two subsequent inheritance ceremonies... made the act of seclusion become somewhat unfamiliar.

"In theory, the New Year's Eve of the first year of Datong and the first day of the second year of Datong should be presided over by the emperor. It would even be best if we could invite the leader of the immortal organization to attend..."

"But now... we have to be prepared for the possibility that the Emperor and the leader of the Immortal Organization will be unavailable!"

"I invited you all here today because I want to hear your opinions!"

After he finished speaking, Zhou Huanran slowly sat down.

The others were not surprised either.

Obviously everyone present has thought about this question in advance.

Ming Yayin said directly: "The first year of Datong is indeed worth commemorating, but... from the perspective of me, the general of the Four Border Army... compared to the celebration, the stability of the border is more important!"

Xiao Jiangshan nodded: "Indeed, looking at the demon tribe's conquests... they always choose important festivals..."

This year, unexpected events occurred during the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival.

Now it is New Year's Eve, such an important day. Based on the demon race's understanding of the human race, we cannot rule out the possibility that the demon race will take this opportunity to launch an attack.

Especially... the immortal organization suddenly disappeared, and His Majesty the Emperor announced that he would go into seclusion and there has been no sign of him coming out.

The others also began to express their opinions.

About a quarter of an hour later,
Zhou Huanran stood up and said, "Then it is decided. The demon-suppressing army will dispatch 700,000 soldiers to guard the boundary array! The remaining 2 million will remain stationed in the Fuxi Divine Heaven Realm. If there are any changes... we will follow the plan of His Majesty the Later Emperor. The 2 million demon-suppressing soldiers will attack the other eight continents through the Fuxi Divine Heaven Realm!"

"Change!"

"At the same time, the Garrison Department, the Evil Slaying Department, and the Demon Banning Department will strengthen supervision over all localities. Anyone who delays paying wages, deducts allowances from the people, or abuses their power for personal gain will be executed!"

"Also, the Sky Patrol will continue to patrol the world!"

"What do you think?"

Xiao Jiangshan: “Yes!”

Ji Yanwei: "No objection!"

Ming Yayin: “Good!”

Zheng Huaizhou: "The Common People's Academy has no objection, but the academy has already closed for the holidays... We, the Master, can be responsible for the preparations for the celebration."

……

And now, deep in the sea of ​​stars, the top leaders of the human race in Ancheng are discussing how to deal with the first New Year's Eve of the first year of Datong.

Ten black shadows carrying a green glow suddenly merged into a planet.

Immediately, this planet, which was no smaller than Jishanzhou, suddenly shattered from the inside out. (End of this chapter)
