Chapter 1543: Seed Three
Dragon Slayer.
The battle continues......
However, Wang Yu's senses have changed dramatically!
In fact, at this moment, he has long lost the so-called body to speak of......
His being, in a sense, is itself a kind of empty will!
And this void consciousness is, in essence, the power of his own soul......
The power of the soul itself is ethereal, but it is real......
Of course, the soul is the saying of Westerners, if from the perspective of Orientals, in fact, the so-called soul is the primordial spirit in the mouth of Oriental Taoists!
Long before the battle began, Wang Yu's body in the Dragon Slaying Illusion had already been completely annihilated by the power of time and space......
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he himself had already reached the realm of the Illusory Realm in the Dragon Slaying Illusion Realm, his consciousness would have almost suffered the same huge impact on his colleague whose body was torn apart!
Even if this body in the Dragon Slaying Illusion is not closely connected to his consciousness, the annihilation of such a body will inevitably cause a certain amount of damage to his consciousness......
And if it is in reality, an awakened person who has not reached the realm of the illusory realm, as long as he encounters the erosion of the power of time and space, then it often only takes an instant, and he will be completely destroyed!
It's like a storm that a ship encounters on the sea, if the hull itself is torn apart, then it will be difficult for a hundred people on board to survive!
And those who have not reached the realm of the illusory realm, their own consciousness and body are often very closely combined, and that is because of this. Once the body is destroyed miรจ. Consciousness will likewise be completely annihilated. Without a body, the consciousness and soul cannot be placed, and the soul will naturally be scattered......
If you want to make an analogy, it is actually like the realm of the phantom realm, if you compare it with the realm in the Xianxia novel, roughly speaking, it is equivalent to the level of the Yuan Baby......
A monk who has cultivated to the realm of the Yuan Infant can theoretically destroy the body in the case of miรจ. The possibility of still surviving their own primordial gods, because their primordial gods, relative to their bodies, are actually already a kind of individuals who can survive independently, and the death of their bodies will not affect their continued survival......
Such a realm, if you use an analogy. In fact, it is like a ship that encounters wind and waves......
If the people in the boat were just ordinary people, then once the ship was wrecked. People naturally can't survive, but if the people in the boat are high-level awakened people, the situation is completely different, because for the awakened people, their own strength is also enough to ensure that they can maintain their survival in the storm and waves......
Compared to ordinary people, ordinary people must take transportation to cross the ocean, but for the powerful awakened, taking transportation is just a choice for them, so for them, even if something happens to the transportation, or what happens, it will not affect their state of existence......
For example, for young people, when they see that a bus they want to take is about to enter the station and they are far away, they can choose to run instead of walking to make themselves able to catch the bus, while for the elderly, they have no choice because their bodies can no longer afford to run......
Many times, the gap between the awakened and ordinary people is nothing more than this right to choose freely......
In fact, the so-called freedom that people pursue is, in essence, nothing more than freedom of choice!
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ

Freedom, in itself, is a relative concept......
Whether it is the awakened or ordinary people, their growth actually interprets such a concept......
For elementary school students, being able to eat what they like to eat and play their favorite games is actually a kind of freedom......
For young people, they need more freedom, they need their own house, they need their own car, and they need personal financial independence......
As for middle-aged people, the freedom they need is more concrete, they need a stable career, they also need a happy family, and they also need to be recognized and affirmed by others, at the same time, they also need greater rights and higher status, and more wealth, through this, they can live more freely than others......
As for the elderly, the freedom they need is physical health, only with a healthy body, they can do what they want to do what their peers can't, this kind of freedom is what they really care about, for them, for their health and longevity, no matter what the price is, they will not hesitate......
In a certain sense, the freedom pursued by ordinary people is actually basically like this......
In the beginning, they seek freedom of behavior, then they will start to focus on economic freedom, then they will begin to realize the importance of spiritual freedom, and finally, their focus will return to their physical health, and finally, when they will inevitably face death, they will focus their attention on their offspring and devote all their attention to them......
In such a process of pursuing freedom, it can actually be seen that people are at different stages. The things that are pursued will also vary greatly......
People of different age levels. What they really care about can also make a big difference. There will be huge differences in their views on freedom, and even in their outlook on life, worldview, and values......
Young people don't understand the ideas of the elderly, and the old people just silently watch the young people follow the path they have walked......
From birth to old age and finally death......
Such a process, for ordinary people, is actually a kind of reincarnation. For them, their perception of freedom is actually only limited to their own lives, ignorance at birth, ambition in the prime of life, and helplessness when they are old......
In fact, such a qiฤ has already constructed a life of ordinary people pursuing freedom......
Ordinary people, however, will always be just ordinary people, and their freedom is, at best, comparable to the freedom of people of the same kind. Their perception of freedom grows with them. In fact, it has gradually embarked on a wrong path......
For ordinary people, their pursuit of freedom is more often like a circle game, when they reach the end, they often really realize that the freedom they are pursuing is exactly what they once had but never cherished!
However, when people realize this, they often regret it!
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ

And the biggest difference between the awakened and ordinary people is that they have a talent that can guide them to a completely different path......
And it was on this path that they began to pursue freedom in the true sense of the word!
Yes, freedom in the truest sense of the word!
Different from the so-called freedom of ordinary people, the freedom pursued by the awakened is freedom in the pure sense, and freedom in the pure sense needs to be guaranteed by the power of the pure sense......
Freedom in the true sense of the word is omnipotent, uninhibited, immortal, and a state in which everything imaginable in the human imagination can be realized......
Only by achieving freedom in the true sense of the word can we avoid a tragedy that we do not want to encounter......
The so-called shun is a man, and adversity is an immortal!
If everything conforms to the thoughts and perceptions of the people around you, and sticks to the rules, then in the end, no matter what, you are just a mortal......
And only those who dare to go against the sky and dare to break the rules of the city can get what they want in the true sense!
is like Sun Wukong's sentence of whether or not you can live forever, which shows the persistence and firmness of immortality in his heart!
In this world, there are many, many people who want to live forever, but there are very few people who really dare to say this sentence, and the vast majority of people will hide it, as if such thoughts and thoughts are themselves a kind of stupid expression, afraid of being known by others, afraid of being ridiculed and ridiculed by others......
Just like the so-called people who practice martial arts, the essential role of practicing martial arts, in fact, is the so-called beating and killing, but there are very few people who really dare to admit that they want to beat or kill people to practice martial arts......
There are very few people who really dare to speak their minds......
Because, in an orderly society, discordant things such as beating or killing people are a deep-rooted concept in the minds of the vast majority of ordinary people, so the vast majority of people, even if they practice martial arts, will not say that they want to use force to hurt others......
More often than not, even if it is an institution that learns martial arts, it will not advocate the actual combat between martial artists, but more just prefer the exercise of the body and the self-defense effect on a certain course......
However, actually. In the hands of almost all true national art masters. There will be more or less human lives. Or seriously injuring others in the competition, or seriously injuring people in the competition, such a situation may seem shocking to ordinary people, but for martial artists, it is a matter of course......
As for the so-called martial arts world that ordinary people can access, in essence, it can only be regarded as a harmonious version of the martial arts world at best. In the real martial arts world, it is very common to hurt or be injured without saying a word, and the contest between life and death is innumerable......
As for the so-called martial virtue, it can only be possessed after a martial artist's martial arts cultivation has reached a certain level, as for before the strength is strong enough. Most of the people who talk about martial arts will be beaten to death in the ring......
To learn martial arts is to kill!
Other than that, it's all!
If you don't really realize it. Then a person can never become a martial artist in the true sense!
In the same way, cultivating immortals is for immortality, if you can't even face this point, then it is impossible to become a peerless powerhouse in the true sense of the word!
Many times, it is always difficult to make up your mind to do something very difficult or unreliable......
However, in many cases, such determination is precisely the most important condition for success!
It's like Sun Wukong's quest for immortality!
When he first saw a companion die, he suddenly realized that if he didn't do something, he would face the same fate sooner or later......
If it were an ordinary person, they might not have such feelings about birth, old age, sickness and death, nor would they have the idea that I want to live forever, or even if they had such thoughts, they would not say it, they would only regard this thought as an unrealistic fantasy and put it in the depths of their minds, nothing more......
However, Sun Wukong realized the problem almost immediately!
Therefore, he chose to look for the immortal mountain almost without any hesitation, and asked the immortal!
Such a decision is undoubtedly very impulsive and even unreasonable!
If you look at it from the perspective of people in reality, such an approach is simply not something that can be explained by impulse in the simple sense, but stupidity in the real sense!
Only a fool would do such a thing, no goal, no direction, just hearing a sentence that there are immortal mountains overseas, and there are immortals living in the mountains, so they resolutely take a boat to the sea, such an act can be said to be a ridiculous move that ordinary people can't imagine!
However, this also reflects Sun Wukong's firmness in the process of seeking Taoism!
He knows very well that if he chooses to give up, he will be able to live freely in Huaguo Mountain for a long time, and he will be able to live a life like a fairy for a long time, after all, compared to ordinary monkeys, he himself is a stone monkey, how long the life of a stone monkey is, that is something that no one can say, theoretically, he may die like other monkeys, but he may also live far longer than other monkeys......
However, he is unwilling to face any feeling of powerlessness between birth, old age, sickness and death!
If they are ordinary people, in the face of birth, old age, sickness and death, although they will be sad and emotional, but they are often helpless, they will not try to change the law of life, nor will they try to reverse their sadness, so they are just ordinary people......
But Sun Wukong is different, after feeling the impermanence of life and death for the first time, he has already made up his mind that he will never be bothered by the same impermanence again......
So, he chose to ask for immortals and asked!
Even when confronted with the Bodhi Patriarch's proposal for him to choose from, he just replied: "Can you live forever?" It can be seen how strong the firmness in his heart is!
The Awakened are not seekers, they do not need to face an impermanent fate, and this leads the vast majority of Awakened to know exactly what the path ahead of them is......
And this is the biggest advantage of the Awakened over the Martial Artists or the so-called Cultivators!
Whether it is a martial artist or a cultivator, they are often faced with an unknown future, they don't know what path they are walking on, and they don't know whether they are going right or wrong......
But the awakened are different, the awakened can become strong and live longer than ordinary people, this is almost a consensus that can be recognized, that is, because of this, the pursuit of power by the awakened is often very firm......
Sometimes, they don't even need to know what kind of path they want to take, they just need to strengthen their strength in a simple sense, because they know very well that no matter what path they choose, no matter what kind of lifestyle they choose, strength will always come first, and if they have power, they will have the ability to practice their wishes.
For the awakened, power in the pure sense is the essence of freedom, which can be said to be freedom in the true sense! (To be continued......)
