Chapter 296: A bottleneck that can't be broken
The universe is a unity composed of space, time, matter, and energy, and is an objective existence that does not depend on the transfer of human will. www.biquge.info It is always in constant motion and development, with no beginning or end in time, no boundary and no end in space.
Since the beginning of human beings, the observation and conjecture of the universe have never stopped, especially in the face of the vast galaxy, the unpredictable natural changes, the unexplainable mysteries, and some bizarre and fantasy conjectures.
The predecessors of the cultivators were some speculators, but they did not stop at the stage of speculation, but worked hard to find evidence and try to confirm those speculations.
In this process, as all kinds of new things and new situations are gradually discovered, many ideas and speculations are confirmed, and some theories, laws, and rules are slowly grasped and recognized by people, and they also begin to be used by people. For example, calculating time according to the movement of the sun, moon and stars, using natural cycles to grow food, and so on.
Therefore, cultivators who are engaged in the work of imagination often have dual identities, one is a great scientist, a great inventor, a great theorist, and so on.
The other is a madman, a liar, a god, a big fool, etc. On the road of exploration, hard work may not always be rewarding, many people have worked hard all their lives but have not found the basis to prove their speculation, seeing that time is running out, can only tell their thoughts to others, hoping that they can inherit the legacy, bravely go on, and complete their unfinished great cause.
In this case, those who believe in him will continue to work hard without hesitation, and those who do not believe in him will give him a good name, that is, "liar".
Immortals exist because someone discovered the unique energy of this world, the so-called "Heaven and Earth Reiki", and invented and created methods to use it on this basis, that is, all kinds of exercises and spells.
Then, it began to develop and evolve gradually, just like words, which at first were just symbols to record events, and slowly evolved into tools of communication, the embodiment of art, a glorious history, and so on.
As for who, how, and when they discovered it, because the years are too old, and the discovery process is too complicated, there is no way to verify. It may be the result of the unremitting efforts of several generations or even dozens of generations, or it may be a small relic of a more ancient creature from the depths of the universe, anyway, the people of this world have mastered the use of "Heaven and Earth Aura".
As the saying goes, "the predecessors carry the trees, and the descendants enjoy the coolness", with the foundation of "immortals", there will be the vigorous development of "immortals", and there will be the continuous advancement of "immortals". Time passes, the years change, after I don't know how many years of evolution, the development of "immortals" has come to a juncture, that is, "the combination of yin and yang", or "the combination of virtual and real".
There are many factors that have caused this situation, historical, cultural, scientific, conservative, realistic, and coincidental, anyway, in the past days, the loyal fans of the "fairy road" theory have led the road of development into a dead end, either breaking through the bottleneck and spreading their wings, or gradually withering and being replaced by another theory.
For this reason, the powerful and wise people who are at the forefront of the "Immortal Dao" research have made a variety of efforts and carried out a lot of experiments, such as the arrival of Li Liang, which is one of these many efforts and many experiments, but Li Liang, a little guinea pig, is too fucked up and always does not play cards according to the routine, so that the experimenters have increased their manpower again and again, increased their funds again and again, and changed their plans again and again.
The story is like this, when you sort out the development context, and look back at those puzzles that couldn't be explained before, you will find that they are insignificant, or even not worth mentioning, just like why Li Liang came to this world, there is both chance and inevitability.
Incidentally, it was because Li Liang's life was not good, he was a little too backy, he drank cold water and stuffed his teeth, farted and smashed his heels, and the probability of one in a trillion made him catch up, what else can he say? The inevitability is because the personnel engaged in the experiment have been working hard, even if Li Liang is not brought, Chen Liang, Zhang Liang, Wang Liang, Xu Liang, etc., maybe any unlucky person will also be brought in, so there is no point in biting on an inevitable thing to get to the bottom of it.
As for the specific method of getting it, if you figure it out, you may not be able to go back, if you don't figure it out, you won't lose something, what is the point? Whether it's the legend of the "Iron Ball" or another version, how much difference is there?
Li Liang, who understood this, began to live and cultivate according to the experimenter's plan, and tried to find a way to break through the bottleneck, but what he didn't expect was that because of the experimenter's negligence, a few self-made lines of the tricksters made up a few lines, so that Li Liang discovered the existence of "microscopic immortal Taoism", and thus saw the entire context of "immortal dao".
The next thing is simple, compare the laws and rules that have been formed in the "fairy way" theory, string together the things that happened before, and all the problems will be solved, even if there are a few details that cannot be figured out, carefully distinguish, you will also find traces of human factors, as long as those people are not dead, there will always be a day when the water will come out.
The sky is getting dark, and it is estimated that by dusk, the sky over the valley has already been filled with thick smoke and dust, coupled with the many floating "Kong Ming lanterns", which makes the sky of the entire "Ronggu" look very weird.
Half an hour ago, the three incense sticks had all been burned, and the "Heaven and Earth Aura" had stopped decreasing, but under the influence of various formation prohibitions, the "Heaven and Earth Aura" outside the valley could not enter, making the "Heaven and Earth Aura" in the valley in a very thin state, if you want to use all kinds of magical powers, its effect will be greatly reduced, and it will barely reach one-tenth of the effect under normal circumstances.
"Brother Li, you have said so much, it seems that you haven't gotten to the point yet, right? You keep saying that you have understood the context of the 'Immortal Dao', so can you tell us, what the 'Immortal Dao' is all about?" Zhu Yun was a little drunk, the wine and the beauty, coupled with Li Liangyun's misty "explanation", no matter how peaceful his mind was, he would be more or less irritable, so he couldn't help but become very stiff when he spoke.
In fact, Zhu Yun felt that it didn't matter if he knew what was going on with the "Immortal Dao". What can I do if I have cultivated, and what can I do if I can't cultivate? Looking at the brothers who were once like relatives turning against each other, and seeing them betraying because of their own selfishness, Zhu Yun's belief in continuing to cultivate became very weak, on the contrary, the idea of going back in style slowly took over. As for why he asked Li Liang, it was nothing more than curiosity in small talk.
"To put it simply, 'Immortal Dao' is a theory, how to use the aura of heaven and earth, and how to use the aura of heaven and earth. Li Liang licked his somewhat dry lips and said hoarsely. There's no way, the wine is all drunk, and there are too many words, and no matter how famous you can speak, you can't hold it for more than three hours in a row.
"Hmph, it's just nonsense!" The bearded man had already held his breath, if it weren't for You Hao and the beautiful woman present, I'm afraid it would have overturned a long time ago.
"Nonsense, then tell me, where is Hu?" Li Liang rubbed his slightly sore throat and asked rhetorically.
"Well...... this" Although the bearded man was very unconvinced, he felt unable to answer under Li Liang's rhetorical question, not because he didn't find a loophole in Li Liang's words, but because he felt that everything was a little pale and powerless, after all, for him, he had never seriously reflected on what the "Immortal Dao" was.
"Hehe, is this the conclusion you have reached?" Mo Baosheng in the purple robe glanced at the people with different expressions, and asked with a contemptuous smile.
"Yes. Li Liang nodded and replied solemnly.
"Hmph, it seems that Shizun really chose the wrong person......" Seeing Li Liang's affirmative answer, Mo Baosheng in the purple robe stared at him straight for a moment, then snorted coldly twice, and said with emotion.
"I remember that you are the best at counter-proof, right? If you can, can you tell us about your theory of reverse deduction? Hehe, anyway, you have set up a net here, and we can't leave for a while, so we might as well listen to your story. At this time, You Hao, whose face was ruddy and his eyes were confused, spoke.
"Huh?" Mo Baosheng, who was in a blue and purple robe, was stunned when he heard this, and his face turned cold directly. The others, however, were unhurried and seemed to have known about the changes in the valley.
"Hey, it's hard to guard against thieves day and night, how can I fucking know such a bullshit brother as you?" Li Liang's cheeks twitched a few times, and he patted his thigh very angrily and said.
"Huh?" Hearing Li Liang's angry scolding, You Hao did not show his signature chuckle, but frowned and carefully observed Li Liang.
"Hey, don't look at it, I know I'm not as handsome as you, but our outfit is much more awesome than the one we used to wear. Look at this knife, this sword, this dagger, and this color, absolutely not picked!" Li Liangjian attracted his attention, slowly stood up, pointed to the sword on his body and said.
When You Hao and the beautiful woman heard this, their pupils shrank slightly, and they quietly retracted their hands back into their sleeves very tacitly.
However, although the actions of the two of them are very hidden, it is impossible to hide from the people present, after all, each of them is a "Holy Ancestor" with great magical powers, and each of them is the overlord of the ruling side, not to mention the unimaginable cultivation of profoundness, and the intelligence and scheming are also much beyond ordinary people, otherwise they would have fallen and perished for I don't know how many years.
Therefore, perceiving the movement of the two of them, the others immediately became alert, or hurriedly stood up, or solemnly scanned the crowd, or pointed to the ground with their hands, knocked out rhythmic frequencies, or silently spoke, but their mouths did not move and were silent, and for a time the atmosphere of the "wine banquet" became very tense and strange.
"From a microscopic point of view, the aura of heaven and earth is a pure energy with properties such as adhesion, fluidity, and regeneration. Under normal circumstances, it will be attached to trace metal elements in natural states such as air, water, soil, and rocks, such as spirit stone, which is an ore with a high trace metal content, because it is attached to a large amount of heaven and earth aura, so it will have strong energy. ”
"In addition, the special energy of heaven and earth aura also has a characteristic, that is, it cannot be used directly, and needs to be catalyzed by certain media, for example, the 'immortal cultivator' absorbs the aura of heaven and earth and needs the 'spiritual root' as a medium, and catalyzes the heaven and earth aura with the same attributes as the 'spiritual root' at a frequency similar to an electrical signal, and then absorbs it into the body for storage and utilization, which is the principle of the immortal exercise. ”
"In the same way, the 'Demon Cultivator' uses the adrenal gland secretion hormone as the medium, and the 'Divine Cultivator' uses the division of muscle and bone cells as the medium to absorb the free heaven and earth spiritual energy that originally existed in the natural world into the body, and then store and use it. ”
"As a kind of energy, the aura of heaven and earth is absorbed, stored, and used by cultivators after being catalyzed by the medium, and some unexpected changes often occur throughout the cycle. For example, it changes the structure of cells, increases the number of cell divisions, stimulates the overload of various organs, and even changes the genetic structure of the human body, that is, DNA. ”
"Therefore, when a cultivator works hard for a period of time, through unremitting absorption, storage and use, there will be corresponding changes, and the first thing is the extension of lifespan. ”
"As for the various stages of the cultivation world, such as the entry, qi condensation, foundation building, knotting, primordial infant, transformation of gods, and winning the championship of the 'immortal cultivator', the blood control, body fusion, bone separation, infant refining, soul casting, entering the void, becoming honorable, etc., it is the change state of the human body's genes, cells, organs, etc., after the long-term accumulation and circulation of the aura of heaven and earth. ”
"Of course, this state of change is not a simple progressive and cumulative relationship, it will appear with the change of the human body and a variety of complex phenomena, especially in the process of changing the human gene, that is, DNA structure, often very difficult problems and situations, 'bottleneck' will arise from this. ”
In response to this phenomenon, cultivators have conducted many experiments and made many efforts, and have come up with some practical ways to deal with it. For example, refining some elixirs that contain more aura of heaven and earth to increase excessive consumption in the process of breaking through the bottleneck, refining some powerful magic weapons and talismans to counter the reaction force of the outside world on the human body in the process of breaking through the bottleneck, maintaining a better mental state and mentality, so as to increase the confidence in breaking through the bottleneck, and so on. ”
However, with the continuous increase of cultivation, the continuous change of human genes, the more and more complex DNA structure, and the difficulty of breaking through the bottleneck, the methods that people thought of before gradually lost their effect, and slowly, advanced promotion became something that could not be completed. ”
"Hehe, just like your master, if his guess is right, if he wants to make another breakthrough, I'm afraid that the elixir and immortal treasure-level things will no longer have any effect, right?" Li Liang ignored the atmosphere of the "wine banquet", nor did he pay attention to the expressions and movements of everyone, but held the "Qinglong Yanyue Knife" in one hand, and a big wine bowl in the other, like a general with both civil and military skills, looking at the thick smoke billowing in the sky of the valley and said lightly.
Shocked, surprised, and suddenly, these things Li Liang said could greatly surprise everyone, although some words, some words could not be understood for a while, but the concept in them was something they did not expect at all, including You Hao, who was known for his intelligence, and never thought that "Immortal Dao" could be explained in this way.
However, You Hao is not ordinary, second-class smart after all, he heard Li Liang's last two sentences, and after a moment of deep thought, he thought of many deeper things, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, and he asked again: "Oh?
"What's the matter? What else, find a way to break through! Cultivation has reached his level, he can destroy mountains and rivers and the earth with a single move, and can cut through the sky, do you think he will give up easily?" Li Liang looked at him and smiled bitterly.
Then, he threw away the wine bowl, spread out his palm and slowly flipped it a few times, and continued: "This is like my palm, on one side is a bottleneck that cannot be broken, on the other hand is an unwavering faith, it feels like I have grasped the problem, as long as I pull out my palm and let them stick together, it can be easily solved, but in fact, how many people can do it and do it?"
"The purple-clothed old man who calculated the 'Baicao Gate', the bastard who instigated the high-level of various forces to refine the 'Jingyuan Dan', Comrade Mo Baosheng, the ancestor of the great 'Immortal Cultivator', and you, as well as your master, are not all working hard to break through the bottleneck that cannot be broken? ”
