Chapter 359: On the Laws of Immortality, the Transformation of the Yuan Shen (4k)
The night was hazy, the stars and the moon were faint, and in the middle of an empty quiet room, although Zhao Qing was indeed sitting there, he showed a feeling of being in a trance, as if shrouded in a layer of mist.
"Unexpectedly, Guang Chengzi and Rong Chengzi are actually similar to the relationship between master and apprentice, except for the chapter that outlines the natural path of immortality at the beginning, the following is a form of dialogue describing the exchange of spiritual essence between these two people, which is roughly the same format as the format of books such as "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing".
Recalling the contents of the book she learned after translating the "Recipe for Longevity", she couldn't help but feel emotional, knowing many secrets buried in ancient times, as well as the organizational form of Taoism at the beginning.
According to some immortal legends, Guangchengzi and Rong Chengzi are both monks on Kongtong Mountain, and they have taught the Yellow Emperor Taoism to practice, the former is 1,200 years old, and the latter is more than 200 years old.
From the dialogue of "The Secret of Eternal Life", it can be known that Guangchengzi was originally a peerless master who has cultivated to the Tao from generation to generation near Kongtong Mountain, where the Rongcheng tribe is located, and his reputation is far and wide.
Among them, Rong Chengzi, as the patriarch of the tribe at that time, decisively gave up his power and was taught the "immortal law", and after two hundred years of practice, he was promoted to become an important minister under the Yellow Emperor by virtue of his ability, and at the same time taught the latter the secret method of fetal breath, the Yellow Emperor with great talent was introduced to Guangchengzi.
At present, it seems that among the many ancient monks, Guangchengzi's cultivation and seniority should be the highest group, and Rong Chengzi, Ning Fengzi, Zhong Huangzi, Qi Bo, and Chijiangzi, who became immortals in the Yellow Emperor period or even later, are not at the same level, and the cultivators who are later than him have basically received Guangchengzi's guidance.
Although this history may not sound useful, considering that the Overworld has generally maintained a normal historical trend, and may have a similar past, and know more about the relationship between the Ancient Immortals than others, it may be able to play its role in the future.
"Heaven and earth have permanence, and they are born. Things have a beginning, and they give birth to their nature. The nature is the sky, and the quality is the earth, so there are traces in the past, and there are incarnations in the future. The atmosphere is self-contained, and the light of the sky is revealed. ”
"When the sky is shining, the earth is shining. Chemicals intersect, and the energy is all over the sky. What is Yan? Weather one, give and self-focused. The earth is pure, and it should be self-diligent. It is time for luck to change the qi. Those who come together with these three are angry for it. Heaven and earth are all the same, and they should be different. Strangers are thin and thick. ”
Guang Chengzi and Rong Chengzi co-authored "The Recipe for Longevity", which divides "Qi" and "Qi" into two different things, the former is "excited by nothingness" and the latter is "born from being", belonging to the same level of existence, and the two can exchange energy with each other through the 'change of form and quality'.
Absorbing and refining the "Heavenly Light" and "Earth Qi" that are born from the intersection, and "preparing all things and attaching them to yin, and discharging all qi and yang", you can eliminate the transformation of seniority, reverse yin and yang, and begin to enter the realm of 'longevity' that has just glimpsed the Tao, and maintain longevity.
Even if you don't practice the Yuan Shen additionally, you can live to the age of 240 years old, and those who know more deeply can reach the age of 480 if you have practiced in the Yuan Shen, the Dharma is in Yin and Yang, and in the number of techniques, you can eat and drink sparingly, live a regular life, do not work in vain, and have the same form as the gods.
This lifespan is already close to the level of the six qi realms of the main world, but it is only the content that Zhao Qing has basically comprehended when he observes the last seven meridian diagrams, and it has not yet touched the upper level of the "Qi Qi", but it can exceed the limit of more than half of the three hundred life limits of Shen Jin, which really surprised her.
According to her understanding, the original method of prolonging the life of Xiaoyaozi was to let the qi in the body bear the price of time and liberate the body, while Guangchengzi's method was to further let the special "Qi Qi" replace the role of the original qi, and under the combined force of heaven and earth, the life span broke through to a new level.
And this has reached a lifespan of about five hundred years, in Zhao Qing's opinion, it should be regarded as the limit of the time that the soul of the current realm can maintain, if it is to break through again, I am afraid that it is not a problem that can be solved by working the body's activity.
In fact, as far as she knows, many trees can live for thousands of years without dying without considering the existence of souls, a variety of animals in the class Hydra such as lighthouse jellyfish can restart life, and deep-sea bacteria can even live for more than 100 million years because they can remain in a state of non-division.
If you simply overcome the telomere damage during cell division, the rebirth of the third level of Gangjin may have the faint potential to evolve into a new species with a physical lifespan of more than 500 years, and even reach a state of immortality in the body, not to mention a higher realm existence.
The human soul will irreversibly spontaneously decompose and dissipate after maintaining a certain period of time, this is the law between heaven and earth, except for the orthodox way of breaking through the cultivation realm, it is difficult to find other ways to resist this strange and unknowable power, and can only take some side means to make up for it.
Like the method of "Death Pass" created by Zhongdini in the last article of the "Cihang Sword Codex", the probability of forcibly breaking through to double Wuji from the extreme Yin to the Great Perfection is extremely low, and the life of nine deaths is almost an element of gambling on luck.
Therefore, Dini cautiously referred to the Dharma of Buddhism, and integrated the mysteries of reincarnation into the death pass, trying to break through the soul after the failure to die, and be locked in the incorruptible body of Vajra, no longer detached from the normal reincarnation mechanism, maybe there will be a chance to naturally reunite and resurrect in situ.
In today's Zhao Qing's view, although the level of the "Cihang Sword Codex" is not very good, and the dini has indeed failed to break through, and there is no sign of resurrection so far, but this "dead pass" method similar to the rebirth of a lighthouse jellyfish is indeed ingenious and gives her a lot of inspiration.
And after getting inspiration from the characteristics of "Qi Qi", Guang Chengzi also thought in his heart, why is it more able to withstand the passage of time than ordinary qi?
With this question in mind, he spent a hundred years conducting various experiments on it, and finally discovered the characteristics of "Qi", and introduced that it is "Qi" that determines the color of all things and the ability to flow with time:
"The sun is light, and the matter is salty; Salty and floating, flowing fine in nothing. Therefore, the quality is refined by daily chemicals; The object is transformed into a spirit. ”
"The light, the sun, the omen; The one who is a sign, the color, the meeting also; Color, object, and the flow also. Tens of billions of fluids are colored, and the color and light are reflected as signs, and the trillions are condensed by qi, will, and transformed. ”
Since "Qi" has time-related characteristics, if you want to further prolong your life and pursue the supreme path, you can try to use some means to obtain some of the abilities of "Qi", and you may be able to control the power of time.
In a coincidence, when entering the Temple of the God of War, Guang Chengzi finally realized the secret method of absorbing the characteristics of "Qi Qi", and through the method of driving the high-speed spin at the core of the Yuan Shen through Qi Qi, it gradually transformed in the direction of "Qi", that is, it approached the speed of light in the spin, and the length of life in the eyes of outsiders was extended due to the relativistic effect.
Only a year has passed from my own perspective, the outside world has been vicissitudes, thousands of years have passed, and there has been an unimaginable huge increase in the "theoretical lifespan".
"The Tao is not profitable, and it is the same as the light", which has become a real reality under the "transformation" of the original god.
I have to say that Guang Chengzi's method of prolonging life and longevity looks quite outrageous on the surface, once he successfully enters the stage of "Qihua" of the Yuan Shen after the completion of the five elements of yin and yang and the seven types of "Qi Qi", the life limit can be increased by at least a thousand times, compared with the previous cultivation stage each breakthrough of only a few percent of the growth, it is not at the same level at all.
However, from a subjective point of view, it seems that it is still a normal lifespan, but it is an extremely long life compared to other people, but it undoubtedly seems a bit chicken.
However, in a sense, time is a subjective experience, and the experience of time by different people and at different moments is not absolutely the same, but has a strong correlation with the state of consciousness, to be precise, with the sense of time included in the "self-grasping" in the consciousness of mana.
Therefore, although it is extremely complicated to understand, as long as you fully grasp the state of consciousness and subjectively accelerate your own perception of the passage of time, you can also make up for this problem to a certain extent, and no longer feel that you have an order of magnitude difference in the speed of time with other people.
In addition, the high-level Qi itself has a characteristic similar to light, and in fact, it also has the effect of speeding up the speed of consciousness, and under normal conditions, it is already one level higher than the thinking speed of cultivators of the same level, even if it is weakened after "Qihua", it is actually quite passable.
All in all, although it is impossible to maintain the speed of thinking that is far beyond normal people after the consciousness slows down in this state, it is still possible to appear to others to be moving and thinking normally, rather than being an unresponsive zombie.
Compared with the unparalleled life-prolonging effect of the "longevity formula", these negative effects of it are nothing.
The reason why Zhao Qing felt that the ability of the "Longevity Formula" to prolong life was a bit frustrating, mainly because she herself was quite young now, and she didn't attach much importance to immortality, and felt that it was something that should be considered in order to break through to the Upper Six Qi Realm and seal the heavens in the future;
On the contrary, the passive effect of the "longevity formula" slowing down the operation of the mind will inevitably affect her comprehension ability under normal conditions, although it can be compensated for by moving the computing power to parts other than the primordial spirit, but it will take decades to close it casually, which is not in her scope of consideration for the time being.
What really touched Zhao Qing was undoubtedly the other abilities that could be derived after the temporary "transformation" of the Yuan Shen, that is, the impact of the rapid change of time in the outside world from the subjective perspective, and the fact that this state could theoretically interfere with the space outside the Yuan Shen.
After repeated deductions, after a thorough understanding of the full text of the "Recipe for Longevity", Zhao Qing took a rigorous attitude that there would always be some differences without personally experiencing it, and gradually began the process of absorbing and refining the "Qi Qi" for his own use, exerting a stable spin angle acceleration on the Yuan Shen.
Since the sub-light speed is not at the same level as the low speed in the general environment, even though her cultivation of the primordial god has reached the level of the Divine Void Law Zhou Sha Realm, the innate infinite and formless void qi level is so light that it is difficult to withstand the force, and with the help of the dark energy effect and the continuous supply of high-level energy of the divine soldiers, it still took a few days before she entered the level of "transformation".
After preliminary calculations and comparing the speed of the pendulum swinging in the quiet room, Zhao Qing confirmed that the current time of his Yuan Shen should have been expanded by more than 30,000 times, and immediately adjusted the end of the consciousness to adapt to the abnormal sense of time, and at the same time began to try to control his body as usual.
For some reason, it has something in common with microscopic particles, and the spin of the primordial god is suspected to be an intrinsic attribute, which did not make Zhao Qing dizzy, on the surface, but the most core part fell into a state of chaos and illusory, which did not affect the effect of her spirit being released to explore and induce.
In this state, the long life span of tens of millions of years theoretically gave her an extremely special feeling, feeling as if time had lost its value and meaning, and then this negative thought was immediately cut off by her and restored to an absolutely clear and transcendent state of mind.
In Zhao Qing's point of view, his own body other than the Yuan Shen and the entire quiet room all appeared a strange space distortion that was very different from the previous one, everything became narrow and bright, and the lights in the original room showed a significant blue shift effect, directly reaching the X-ray band, with amazing lethality.
Turning his gaze to the window, he saw that the environment at night was no longer the normal darkness, but full of ultraviolet rays transformed from infrared light, illuminating most of the sky exceptionally brightly;
And because the speed of light at different frequencies in the air medium is different, and it has reached a level that can be perceived by her, the whole world presents an indescribable chaos, the various colors of the objects are separated, upside down and distorted, and it requires extremely complex calculations to recover in the mind.
Higher in the direction of the star dome, the dark red void revealed a vast blankness, as if it was a stone sculpture without pupils, although dotted with thousands of dazzling bright stars, but under the cosmic background radiation that had partially entered the visible light band, it showed an indescribable sense of monotonous alienation.
It seems that there is little difference between the faint light and the embers of the ancient universe, each of which has subtle differences, different magnitudes of light and darkness, but they are connected into an inseparable whole in the flow of time and space, which is both independent and related to each other.
Inexplicably reminiscent of the similar experience of observing the strange images in the world in the void, Zhao Qing thought for a moment, and gradually adapted to the time that the external environment was "accelerated" by tens of thousands of times, as well as the blue shift of the energy frequency changes released by them.
At the same time, she also noticed that although Guang Chengzi did not write it in the "Recipe for Longevity", he should be able to increase the power of Qi through the blue shift effect in the state of "Qihua", and convert ordinary visible light into X-rays and even Y-ray energy levels.
Originally, it was mainly just a longevity technique used to manipulate the seven-colored light qi to maintain health, but it could immediately be turned into a devastating killing secret technique, which was incredibly powerful and difficult to resist.
Of course, although subjectively the power of such moves seems to have increased significantly, from an objective point of view, the speed of energy accumulation has not changed, and the output power is exactly the same, just an additional means of jumping in the photon energy level.
Speculating that the time Qi field in the Yuan Shen might be able to take effect externally, Zhao Qinghua spent half an hour constructing a layered "Qi Transformation" change, and then separated and projected the outermost thin layer of Qi Field and threw it into a lead glass jar placed on the desk in the room.
Inside this half-gray jar, a mosquito that was lucky enough to survive until the end of autumn and was specially locked up by her is flapping its wings and "buzzing", constantly looking for a way out inside;
At the bottom of the can, which is specially separated under the mosquito, a fluorescent coating is coated, and the reason why it continues to shine is because Zhao Qing filled the compartment with some radioactive tritium.
If the sub-light speed Qi field separated from the Yuan Shen did have the ability to interfere with the time of the outside world, when she shattered the glass compartment, the radioactivity of the tritium gas would be significantly weakened due to the longer half-life, and the mosquitoes could fortunately survive longer.
