Chapter 367: What's the point of me practicing?
Five elements!
It is determined the moment a person is born.
These five elements do not refer to the physical body, but come from the five elements of the soul.
Otherwise, Zou Feng’s Five Elements Sword would not attack the soul.
When a normal practitioner reaches the state of hiding the spirit, the primordial spirit begins to develop and the soul possesses the five elements.
Because Lin Ye's five elements were washed away by the boundless water in the small space, the soul he condensed at this moment did not have its own five elements attributes.
"The five elements are an important part of shaping the soul. The same is true for the spirit. Without the five elements, it will only be a spirit shell, unable to resonate with the main body, let alone achieve telepathic communication."
"Then how should I inject the five elements into my soul?" Lin Ye asked in a deep voice.
"It's simple. Just look at which of the five elements you want your soul to have and inject that into it."
"What if I want a single one?"
Facing Lin Ye's words, Lao Shi was silent for a few seconds before he said, "If you want your soul to have a single five-element soul, you must first have a single five-element soul. You don't have any attributes now, so you can only find a single five-element object to inject into your soul."
"Boy, objects of the five elements are not easy to find. All things coexist in this world. Creatures or objects of the five elements are firstly very rare, and secondly, it is difficult for them to survive. Those that can exist for a long time, if they are objects, are treasures."
Lin Ye understood what Lao Shi said. If it was a treasure, it must have been searched for by everyone. Even if it was not found, it was probably because it was hidden very well or in a place where there were few people and it was not easy to be discovered.
"If that's the case, then why did you ask me to use the Boundless Water to wash away my soul? Isn't this asking for trouble? Lao Shi, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation."
Lin Ye snorted coldly, and Lao Shi scolded him: "Why are you in such a hurry, kid? Single five-element treasures are hard to find, but single five-element exercises are many. You can completely let your soul practice a single five-element exercise."
"You have?" Lin Ye asked.
"How could I have it? I don't repair these things."
Just as Lin Ye was silently preparing to affix the soul-sealing talisman, Lao Shi seemed to sense Lin Ye's thoughts and immediately said, "There are many such sects in the outer world, and the world you are in now has not experienced the depletion of spiritual energy, so there are even more such sects."
"You want me to find this kind of sect and look for their cultivation techniques. Do you think they will give it to me easily, or should I use my Yuanshen identity to force them to hand over the cultivation techniques?"
Lin Ye believed that there were not many such single Five Elements cultivation sects, and any sect that practiced cultivation would regard their own cultivation techniques as very important and would not easily leak them out.
"There's no need to go through so much trouble. Why not just let your two souls join the sect and become its disciples?"
"Join the sect?"
The idea given by Lao Shi was indeed something he had not expected. The main reason was that with the current condition of his soul, how could he be accepted as a disciple by another sect?
"In fact, the Yuanshen is equivalent to another you. And because of the special nature of the Yuanshen, it is equivalent to a super genius in absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Every sect will scramble to get it."
"As long as you don't reveal your soul's identity, you can let your soul join the sect you like as a genius."
“Won’t my soul be exposed on its own?” Lin Ye frowned. He couldn’t even communicate with his soul now. How could he let his soul join the sect as a normal person?
"Hehe, throw your soul in front of the mountain gate of the sect you want to join. When the people of that sect see it, they will naturally take your soul up the mountain. Although your soul doesn't have much consciousness, it still has the most basic ability to understand."
This time, Lin Ye completely understood what Lao Shi meant.
A person who has a super talent for cultivation but whose IQ is about the same as that of a child. I am afraid that every sect would be willing to have such a disciple.
Because it means that they can be cultivated and made more loyal to the sect, which is the so-called pure heart.
"Of course, there is a gamble involved. It's not that those sects don't want you, but they are afraid that your soul will be in danger in the future. Because once you choose this path, unless your soul is cultivated to the soul realm again, you can't take it back."
"Can the Yuanshen be cultivated to the Yuanshen realm again?"
Lin Ye was a little surprised. Isn’t this just a nesting doll?
"Of course the soul can. In fact, after reaching the soul realm, the main thing to cultivate is the soul. The earliest practitioners, after entering the soul realm, will even abandon their original bodies, cut off all past memories, and start practicing again with the soul body."
Lin Ye did not doubt what Lao Shi said, but it confused him. Why did he cut off all the memories of his original body and start practicing again as his soul?
"In order to break through the realm of virtual god and become a true god."
This time, Lao Shi's tone was very serious, "How do you feel about the eye of the Tianwai Tianta?"
Lin Ye's eyes flashed, and he recalled the eyes he saw at the top of the Tianwai Tian Tower, and his heart felt cold.
"Terrible, irresistible, dead silence!" Lin Ye said with lingering fear.
"That is the eye of a god, or more precisely, the eye of a true Buddha. This is an eye without an eyeball. Otherwise, do you think you can still be teleported to this other world?"
"Although I don't know how you were teleported to this other world, I think you opened up a space channel to the other world. But in front of the gods, there is no chance for you to escape to the other world through the space channel."
"If you cultivate with your body, you can at most become a virtual god. Only if you cultivate with your soul, you have a chance to become a true god."
"Lin Ye, do you know why I want you to take this path? Because if you can't become a god, then you can't really break free from your shackles."
"The day you step into the realm of virtual godhood will be the day you are put in shackles. Only when you become a god will you have the chance to be free of shackles."
Lao Shi's unprecedented serious words made Lin Ye's expression become serious as well .
"What do you mean? Why does entering the Void God Realm mean being in shackles?"
The purpose of cultivation is to become extraordinary.
But now Lao Shi told him that the situation would become worse as time went on. What was the point of practicing then?
"Did you see the eyes of the real Buddha?"
"Well, this is the second time you asked this question."
"When you step into the realm of Virtual God, your life and death will no longer be controlled by yourself. When you become a true god, at least you can choose the way to die, just like this true Buddha."
Lin Ye: ...
He was a little disheveled.
Are you practicing so hard just to be able to choose how you die?
Then what's the point of my practicing?
As an ordinary person, I can also choose how to die.
