Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 707: Transformation 4 (Dark Matter, the Path to the Second Spiritual Body)
"This kind of energy, this kind of Tao rhythm"

The second spiritual body's eyes flickered, and he sensed something vaguely, and had some delusional thoughts in his mind.

The traces of Tao between heaven and earth and the sounds of sacrifice are majestic and boundless, coming from the dark void, yet seem to be right in front of you, like a whisper in your ear.

"As expected of the whispers of an ancient god, they can actually draw out such a mysterious power."

"No, that's not right!"

"These mysterious energies can be absorbed and transformed by me, so they must not be ordinary energies!"

"But such a special energy actually floated out from a group of mortal bodies?"

"How can this be?"

Luo Yan leaned forward and murmured, his mind full of thoughts, and he noticed something unusual.

Normally speaking, there is a huge gap between mortals and cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, and they are almost equivalent to two different species.

What’s more, for a cultivator like the second spiritual body who is at the Nascent Soul stage, the gap between the two is as huge as a deep-sea trench!

But even so, the power of the wild tribe members to fulfill their vows still made him feel that the mysterious power of destiny in his body had increased.

"Is it because of the power of faith?"

"But what about those extraordinary Dao rhymes?"

Luo Yanci was puzzled and thought of many possibilities. Even Shao Yun'er beside him felt bored. She yawned and fell asleep on his shoulder.

After a long while, the second spirit body seemed to be thinking about something, and continued to talk to itself:
"What if those mysterious energies are not condensed from mortals, but are formed from their desires, combined with some special energy in the heaven and earth, to form a strange substance?"

This is a novel point of view with a fresh angle, but it can better explain the confusion that Luo Yanci is facing at the moment.

"If the mysterious energy is real, it means that it should be similar to spiritual energy and exist in the world, rather than being the result of those whispering voices."

"Moreover, I have reason to suspect that the so-called sacrificial divine sound is not the whisper of the gods at all, but the manifestation of my vision of enlightenment."

The second spiritual body was born from Luo Yan and possessed almost all of his memories. Apart from some slight differences in thinking habits, it naturally had no lack of rational thinking perspective.

Luo Yan likes to observe the essence of things. At this time, his second spiritual body, because he is thinking about breaking through the realm, also has the idea of ​​observing the root of events.

Many powerful Taoist scriptures, once performed, will inevitably lead to large-scale strange phenomena or the chanting of unknown creatures, such as a bright moon rising from the sea tide, nine suns hanging in the sky, golden lotus emerging from the ground, the appearance of gods and so on.

Are all these 'incredible' and 'miracle' things on the path of cultivation attributed to the ancient gods?
The second spirit body doesn’t believe it!

He also believed that those so-called "gods" would never be so idle.

After all, this is in the future countless years later. No matter how amazing the traces and imprints of the ancient gods are, can they still be manifested forever?

“So, these mysterious gods chanting and amazing visions are most likely not real, but a kind of Dao mark imprinted between heaven and earth.”

"When I was gaining enlightenment and comprehending certain scriptures and methods, those Dao marks would resonate with me."

"That is to say, the source of those powers may seem mysterious, but in fact, they are inseparable from me."

The second spiritual body closed its eyes, feeling the mysterious energy of destiny in its body increase again, with a thoughtful expression.

Although this bit of destiny power is very weak, it does exist after all and is of great benefit to one's own practice.

If we analyze it from this perspective, the so-called power of destiny does not seem to be so mysterious, unattainable, and difficult to touch.
That kind of power even exists around Luo Yan, everywhere!

The second spiritual body had a premonition that the more he practiced, the more he would be able to perceive the essence of the world, which seemed not to be as complicated as he had imagined.

All the talk about it being mysterious, unfathomable, unguessable, and uncomprehended, etc., are all lies!
It’s just that there are most ignorant people in the world, who seem to have forgotten the truth that the great way is simple!
A long time ago, when Luo Yan first came into contact with the way of destiny, he felt cautious, uneasy, and even awed by this mysterious and supreme power.

But now it seems that this is just a very common power, hidden in the heaven and earth and existing in the bodies of living beings.

Even ordinary mortal beings can be affected, but they themselves cannot perceive it.

This reminded the second spiritual body of Luo Yan's past life memories. In that world, there was an astronomical view that dark matter existed in the universe.

The so-called dark matter is a type of matter that is invisible under normal conditions, but is everywhere.

The current mysterious force of destiny is very likely a kind of energy similar to "dark matter". It cannot be observed, but there is clear evidence to support its existence.

Thinking of this theory, the second spirit thought that it would be very appropriate in the current situation.

They are obviously a group of barbarians, but they can provide him with destiny energy and help him grow.

From the perspective of energy levels, this is obviously inappropriate, because energy has levels, and the higher you go, the higher the energy level.

The most typical example is the difference between ordinary air, spiritual energy, and fairy energy.

Since energy exists in levels, things like the power of incense and vows should not be produced by mortals.

Otherwise it would be impossible to explain why high-level cultivators, and even immortals and gods, are using this special power.

Therefore, the second spiritual body was skeptical about Luo Yan's previous views.

He has a different point of view that might explain everything!
The 'dark matter' theory that can support Tao and Fa!
After all, the current spiritual world seems to be a world where one can practice cultivation, but in the expression of many microscopic facts, it is highly similar to the previous life.

Birth, aging, sickness and death, the growth and withering of plants, the gathering of water to form rivers and the gathering of soil to form mountains, etc. These basic elements are, to some extent, common to both worlds.

There was also a very famous basic physics theory in the previous life, that is, the action of forces is mutual.

Whether it is acting, fighting, or flying, it all conforms to this theoretical point of view.

Simply put, whether it is the power of wishes or the power of peeking into the future, they both require a certain force to execute.

Without the source of power, one's own ideas cannot be implemented.

The wish will become impossible to come true, and the curse will become just a scolding, which is of no use at all!

It's a must!

Even the legendary maxim - "Words come true", uses the power of rules to make words come true. Even the special powers of the law of emptiness such as willpower, law of cause and effect, and power of curse are very unreasonable and violate the normal laws of natural biology.

But it was precisely this that made the second spiritual body realize that he might have understood part of the essence of this world!

If we understand the power visible to the naked eye as 'Yang', and all invisible special forces such as the mysterious power of destiny and the power of will as 'Yin', then all the great laws and sources of power between heaven and earth will become clear.

"If I think from this perspective, can I regard the mysterious power of destiny, the power of incense and vows, and the unknown energy factors floating in the heaven and earth as the same kind of energy?"

"Or is it that the basic energy that makes up them is actually transformed from a single energy particle?"

"Otherwise, how can we explain that it is clearly the power of incense and vows, but it has become the nourishment of destiny and profound power?"

After having this guess, the second spirit body continued the experiment.

Next, he made the most detailed observations of the people of this wild tribe.

Whenever they performed sacrifices, as long as their prayers contained reasonable requests, he would bestow the power of faith to help fulfill their wishes.

As time went by, the people of the entire tribe naturally felt great respect for the mountain god statue.

Gradually, as the second spiritual body helped more people realize their wishes, it also discovered many problems.

First, the time interval between sacrifice and fulfillment of vows is directly proportional to the relationship between the harvested vow power and the transformed mysterious power of destiny.

No matter how many wishes a believer makes, even if dozens of them are fulfilled, the special energy that the second spiritual body can capture from this person within a certain period of time is constant.

It is equivalent to there being an upper limit, and you cannot keep harvesting.

Of course, there is a lower limit, that is, believers make some wishes that are difficult to realize for no reason, such as hoping that they can live forever.
Regarding such a wish, the second spirit could only sigh and express that he also wanted to obtain the ability of eternal immortality.

What he couldn't do, a group of wild islanders were trying to do
It is true that the heart is bigger than the courage, but in reality, even food and clothing are a problem.
The second is that the desires of believers are limited.

In other words, the wishes made by the members of those barbaric tribes on the first day were to have enough food and clothing, on the second day was to sleep with women, on the third day was to sleep with more women, and on the fourth day was to become the leader of the tribe.

The wish made on the fifth day was to become the true owner of this island.
Once the first wish is fulfilled, subsequent wishes will become increasingly difficult, or you may no longer have any wishes.

Because human desires are infinite and will continue to expand, yesterday's desire to fill one's stomach will soon transform into the desire to fly into the sky, to catch turtles in the sea, and to live forever.
Such a wish, let alone Luo Yan's second incarnation, even if a real immortal god came, it would be impossible to achieve.

I can't fill it up, I can't satisfy it, I really can't satisfy it
Once it cannot be satisfied, that person's desire will be restrained and controlled so that no desire will appear in the short term.

During this experiment, the second spirit tried to use magic to lead those whimsical guys into a dream woven by magic.

He thought that the prayers in his dreams would be omnipotent and could even fulfill all the other person's wishes.

Unfortunately, this attempt failed because that special energy did not seem to be obtained from this tricky method.

Finally, even though Luo Yanci had been struggling for more than half a year, the total amount of destiny power he had gained was actually only a tiny bit.

How little!
It would probably take thousands of years of this to gather enough fateful mystical power to support his current level of cultivation.

The main reason is that the number of members of the Savage Tribe is too small, so the power of wishes that can be provided is naturally small.

“No wonder there are always records in ancient books that the number of followers of each of the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the Buddhist sect is in the billions, comparable to the number of Ganges sands.”

"It's mainly through the way of fulfilling a vow, the mysterious energy obtained is really too little."

"From the perspective of the cultivation realm of Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, the power of will they need to take each step forward is naturally so huge that it is unimaginable. It is no wonder that there is a saying of a Buddha kingdom in the palm of your hand!"

After this experiment, Luo Yan had a deeper understanding of the mysterious power of destiny and the power of faith and will.

This is the basis for transformation.

Combined with Luo Yan's own memories, his future path became increasingly clear.

From a broad perspective, the way everything works is actually very simple.

Just like the concepts of birth and death, night and day, prosperity and withering, seeking profit and avoiding harm, they are just two opposing concepts that constitute this basic material world.

The life, cognition and behavior of all things in the world can be harmonized through appropriate proportions to form new changes.

For example, the negative and positive sides of emotions can be evolved into four emotional categories: joy, anger, sadness, and happiness by manipulating the ratio between them.

Being more positive is happiness, and being positive to the extreme without any negative emotions is joy.

vice versa.

When the subjective and objective emotions are deeply intertwined, a more complex reluctance will be formed, that is, a little sentimental, a little subjective, and a little profit-seeking.

A calm mind means having some rationality, a little objectivity, and a little idea of ​​avoiding harm.

Simply put, this is the polarity of yin and yang!
A derivative of opposing words such as right and wrong, and everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme.

They constitute the Tao and the Law of this world.

The energy factors in the air, which appear to be spiritual particles, are absorbed by the cultivators, thus leading to a certain level of cultivation.

The special "substance" in secret was discovered by the monks through practicing magic and meditating on the Tao.

This is the law of the Tao.

That is the "dark matter" energy in this world.

In Luo Yan's understanding, dark matter should also include many types, such as 1 basic unit of dark matter is the power of incense and vows, 2 basic units of dark matter become the power of destiny, and 3 basic units are the power of time.
By controlling the proportion of dark matter energy, different laws of the universe can be formed. This is the commonality he discovered from his enlightenment this time!
Although dark matter energy is invisible, it should be everywhere, just like spiritual energy, filling the entire universe.

Only in this way can all the laws of the world be established!
“I didn’t expect that the Yin-Yang theory from my previous life would be so suitable in this cultivation world,” Luo Yan sighed.

At this moment, he seemed to have transcended the mainstream views of the entire world of cultivation. He no longer pursued the so-called Three Thousand Great Ways, but instead adopted a new perspective to re-observe this world.

‘Wow! ’

Finally, after Luo Yan entered a deep state of transformation, his second spiritual body also began his own transformation.
