Zhuang Zhou was born in the era of strife among countries and is a representative of the Taoist school.

The great changes set off by Mo Zhai in history did not affect Zhuang Zhou's life trajectory much, so in this historical line, Zhuang Zhou is still a very famous figure.

It's just that because of the appearance of martial artists, Taoism is not very famous. After all, when a martial artist cultivates to a high depth, he is like a superman in the eyes of ordinary people. Instead of following the Taoist cultivators, it is better to practice martial arts directly.

However, some of Zhuangzi's writings during his lifetime are still extremely famous, and many people are still studying them today.

Because Lu Zhende and Zhang Zhongjing have basically realized their value in history, they called Xun Ze to spend all his time teaching Zhuang Zhou this week.

"Teacher. ”

After reading some philosophical works in the interstellar era, Zhuang Zhou rubbed his sleepy eyes, and then asked Xun Ze,

"I think that the purpose of human philosophy is to understand the meaning of human existence, where human beings come from, why they have ideas, and why they live in this land.

This is the most fascinating part of philosophy.

However, with the development of science and technology, many of the fantasies of the ancients have been replaced by scientific explanations, and have become less meaningful for people to continue to study. ”

"Oh, do you mean that philosophy has no value for research?"

"No, it's not. ”

Zhuang Zhou shook his head, and then said to Xun Ze,

"What I want to know is if the end of martial arts and science is really to turn humans into gods. At present, the unsolved mystery that human beings cannot explain is whether it was created by those powerful intelligent beings. ”

"In fact, modern technology seemed to ancient people to be almost like gods. ”

asked Xun Ze to signal Zhuang Zhou to sit down, and then he sat opposite Zhuang Zhou and discussed it with Zhuang Zhou.

"In the interstellar age, the greatest sorrow of mankind is not that they know too little, but that they live too little. From the beginning of the future era, almost all human beings can foresee that the later they are born and the longer they live, the more technological conveniences they can enjoy.

In the era when computers were still controlled by keyboards and mice, human beings were already fantasizing about the emergence of virtual devices. But many people don't get to experience virtual devices until the day they die.

Is it possible for a virtual device to be manufactured? The answer is yes. It's just that because of time, many people can't wait for the day when virtual devices are manufactured.

In the past, human beings wanted to live forever in order to have endless enjoyment. But now that human beings want to live forever, they want to see how far human technology can progress. ”

"Yes. ”

Zhuang Zhou said to Xun Ze,

"I once turned into a butterfly in a dream and woke up wondering if I was a butterfly or a human. But in this day and age, even if I don't have a dream, I can turn myself into a butterfly through technology.

So I really want to have the same longevity as the entire human civilization and see for myself how far this civilization can go. ”

After listening to Zhuang Zhou's words, Xun Ze suddenly remembered that in the previous timeline, those aliens who came to the earth.

They abandon their physical bodies and transform their bodies into spiritual bodies, whether it is also because only through this can human beings attain an infinite lifespan?

"The development of science and technology to an incredible point may make human beings immortal, but that is too far away, I don't know how many thousands of years of development it will take for human beings to reach that point.

Martial arts have also been developed for thousands of years so far, and the lifespan of the great grandmaster will indeed be a little longer than that of ordinary people, but it is also limited, and the effect is not as good as technology.

I have seen a group of intelligent beings who have abandoned their physical bodies and lived in this world purely as spiritual bodies, and they may be able to live forever. ”

"Give up the physical body and exist in this world as a spiritual body?"

Zhuang Zhou thought carefully about the words of Xun Ze, and then nodded and said to Xun Ze,

"Teacher, I think this may be possible. ”

"If you want to try it, it's not impossible. ”

Asked Xun Ze to think of his spiritual foundation building ability.

He had built the foundation for Lu Zhende's spirit before, but Lu Zhende did not develop any branch of martial arts spirit, but concocted a demonic energy that could make people crazy and powerful.

Although it can be regarded as opening up a branch, it is much worse than the effect envisaged by Xun Zeshuo, after all, in Lu Zhende's era, martial arts have been extremely prosperous, and any alternative cultivation method will inevitably be affected by martial arts.

It seems to be a very feasible way to use the method of spiritual foundation building to build a foundation for Zhuang Zhou, and then let Zhuang Zhou try to open the vein of cultivating the gods.

Xun Ze thought about it, and then said to Zhuang Zhou,

"I have a method that may make you immortal, but just maybe, do you have the idea of trying. ”

Zhuang Zhou thanked the teacher first. ”

Zhuang Zhou heard the words of Xun Ze, and saluted to Xun Ze, and then asked what the method was.

Judging from the fact that the Great Grandmaster was able to create a Yuan Spirit with a little wisdom by using spiritual power, it was not impossible for the Divine Cultivation Method to be cultivated to a high level and reach the realm of immortality.

So after Zhuang Zhou heard the idea of calling Xun Ze, he directly expressed his willingness to give it a try.

I have to say that Zhuang Zhou's talent for spiritual power is really rare in the world.

After asking Xun Ze to build a spiritual foundation for Zhuang Zhou, Zhuang Zhou's progress was rapid, and he was soon able to use his spiritual power to simulate simple things like flowers.

Of course, the most important thing is immortality.

There is no way to simulate and deduce the spiritual power with the Oasis World. Therefore, how to cultivate the gods depends on the two people called Xun Ze and Zhuang Zhou to formulate it themselves.

If you want to live forever, you must detach yourself from the physical body and transform yourself into a spiritual body.

This means that human beings have to abandon their physical bodies, regain their lives, and change from material beings to spiritual creatures, following the path of those spring energy aliens.

Therefore, after the cultivator builds the foundation, he thinks that he should learn from the great master of martial arts and cultivate a spiritual body similar to the spirit of the great master of martial arts.

This spiritual body was named Yuanying by Xun Ze, and it was also the first step of the rebirth of the cultivators, and the name of the realm was also called Yuanying Realm.

Next, the cultivator needs to strengthen his primordial infant and make his primordial infant bigger, until he becomes a primordial god who can replace his soul.

This step is called cultivating the gods, also known as cultivating the gods.

When the cultivator has his own primordial god, it means that he can abandon his physical body and live in this world temporarily.

However, at this time, the Yuan Shen cannot represent the cultivator himself, and the cultivator needs to digitize his own memories and emotions and inject them into the Yuan Shen.

This step is called the infusion realm, and the corresponding realm is also the infusion realm.

After the infusion of the spirit, the physical body will be completely abandoned by the cultivator, and the cultivator can exist in this world as a spiritual body from now on.

The four realms of foundation building, primordial infant, cultivating gods, and injecting spirits are the key to immortality for cultivators. Of course, this is only the most idealized cultivation method for cultivators called Xun Ze and Zhuang Zhou. Specifically, Zhuang Zhou himself and his apprentices need to be tested in practice.

"Wait. After Xun Ze and Zhuang Zhou determined the four realms of cultivating the gods, Xun Ze suddenly thought of another question.

"Zhuang Zhou. ”

Called Xun Ze said to Zhuang Zhou,

"If a cultivator can really live forever after cultivating to the realm of infusion, then once they have evil intentions, the damage to the entire human society will be very great.

Imagine a group of immortal old monsters who spend hundreds of years painstakingly managing their own forces and then controlling the entire human society. That would be too scary. ”

"Teacher. ”

Zhuang Zhou said to Xun Ze,

"If a cultivator wants to accept an apprentice, he must first look at the apprentice's temperament, and make sure that he is a person who has no quarrel with the world, and then he will accept him as an apprentice. ”

"The human heart cannot stand the test. ”

Called Xun Ze said to Zhuang Zhou,

"Even you, I can't guarantee that if you really live forever, after a long period of history, you will still be like this. ”

"What then?"

"There must be restrictions on those who cultivate the gods. ”

Asked Xun Ze to think about it and said to Zhuang Zhou,

"When you go back, you will definitely be the first cultivator in the world. In the future, even if other cultivators are born, they will inevitably be passed on by you.

Therefore, as long as you are restricted, the cultivators who will pass on your future will inevitably have this restriction as well.

When I was building a spiritual foundation for you before, I found that the so-called spiritual foundation is actually to plant a seed of spiritual power for you, so that you have the possibility of cultivating your gods.

And I'm actually in this seed, I can actually do it. For example, if I give a hint in the zongzi such as you must not kill, even if you are strong in the future, you will not be able to violate the hint in the spiritual seed that you cannot kill.

Otherwise, your spiritual seed will burst directly, and you will become a wasted person. Even if you really cultivate into a primordial god in the future and survive from the physical body, you still have to abide by the hints in the spiritual seed. ”

"If that's the case, if I cultivate the divine lineage, wouldn't the power of life and death of the apprentice be in the hands of the teacher?"

"Not really. ”

Yu Xunze shook his head and said,

"I feel like I'm the only one who has the ability. After all, I edited the first spirit seed. In the future, you cultivators will pass on each other's lineage, but you are just copying my spiritual seed for inheritance. ”

"Then ask the teacher to do it. ”

When Zhuang Zhou heard this, he immediately knelt down in front of Xun Ze, hoping that Xun Ze would start to re-inherit it now.

"Hmm. ”

Asked Xun Ze to raise his hand to abolish the spiritual foundation that had been built for Zhuang Zhou before, and then re-edited the spiritual seed.

'Cultivators must not meddle in the rise and fall of dynasties, interfere too much in the mundane world, do not interfere with the course of history, and do not violate their promises, otherwise demons will be born.

The stronger the cultivator, the stronger the inner demon will be, and one day, the inner demon will surely devour the soul of the cultivator, turning the cultivator into a walking corpse. ’
