Volume 3 Original Chapter 135: In a single thought, nature and man become one!
Qianwu Universe, a very ordinary life planet called "Waro Planet".
On the planet Varo, inside a secret underground base.
"Team leader, we have received information from Team 13." A bald, three-eyed man in a silver uniform said respectfully.
"Is it NO.1?" asked another bald, three-eyed man in a black uniform.
Lin Yan had already entered their field of vision as early as when he won the first place in the genius battle, but at that time, the only information they knew about Lin Yan was that he "registered as a space citizen on the Qiulong Star of the [Black Dragon Mountain Empire]" and "purchased the entire Milky Way."
As for other information, I know nothing.
In order to collect intelligence information about Lin Yan, the 13th team, which was closest to the Black Dragon Mountain Star Region Milky Way, was ordered to conduct an investigation and make preparations in advance.
However, the information Lin Yan revealed was very limited, and a lot of it could only be guessed by himself. Finally, under the arrangement of this mysterious organization, the 13th team officially lurked on Canglan Star and Jiuzhou Star without anyone noticing.
"Yes, Captain." The man in the silver uniform said respectfully, "After 402 consecutive translations and the replacement of the characters corresponding to the cosmic coordinates, the intelligence content is - 'Captain, Canglan Star has completed its security transformation. There is no possibility for Team 13 to approach Lin Yan or assassinate Lin Yan.'"
"Humans' efficiency in protecting geniuses is truly amazing." The bald, three-eyed man in black uniform smiled.
He didn't care about it, because regarding Lin Yan's matter, the organization had no intention of asking them to assassinate him.
So for him, there is no need to take the risk or worry about it.
"Pass the order." The bald, three-eyed man in black uniform spoke.
The man in the silver uniform immediately listened respectfully.
"According to the previous order, you will lurk on the Blue Star and investigate all information related to Lin Yan. There is no time limit for this mission." said the bald three-eyed man in black uniform.
"yes."
…
The central region of the Milky Way galaxy.
This area is composed of a high density of stars, mainly old red stars that are about 10 billion years old, and at its center there is a supermassive black hole.
The mass of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way is about 4.3 million times the mass of the sun.
When matter in the galaxy falls towards the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, it begins to rotate. Due to the friction between the matter, a vortex of hot gas and dust forms around the black hole, and a very strong magnetic field is generated, which ejects jets composed of high-energy radiation and high-energy cosmic ray particles.
The green-line worm clone's eyes gazed into the black hole horizon in the distant void.
Swish!
The black mist that permeated around it suddenly surged violently, and then formed a split body that looked no different from it.
The green-line devouring worm clone flapped its wings behind it and flew towards the black hole's event horizon.
…
Fundamentally speaking, the "Origin of One Yuan" that Lin Yan practices is a unique skill that he has realized based on the cosmic principles contained in the "black hole celestial body".
Being able to experience and comprehend things in reality will be very beneficial to his cultivation.
Unlike before, the secret realm of the universe is a unique secret realm formed in the process of evolution of the vast universe. It challenges the imagination and has no rules. It is very different from the original universe.
Moreover, when Lin Yan was in the original secret realm, his range of activities was very limited. Apart from carrying out missions, he basically stayed in the Wuchen Continent.
He only encountered it once by coincidence when he was carrying out the "Lost Galaxy" mission. At that time, Lin Yan took advantage of the special environment of the black hole and practiced in the Lost Galaxy for thirty years. Finally, he understood the essence of all the laws and reached a new level in cultivation.
Now that we have left the original secret realm, it has become too easy to find the "black hole". Sometimes when the green-line devouring avatar feels a bottleneck in the practice of "Demon Fantasy Realm", it turns to explore the black hole area to gain insights and practice "Black Hole Evolution".
While experiencing and understanding, Lin Yan also combined his own knowledge and had some new thoughts.
…
The ten basic laws are the basis of the complete operating rules of the universe. The original universe is an extremely vast, huge and perfect universe. Precisely because of its perfection, it is impossible to manifest the operating rules externally, and it is very difficult to comprehend them.
The initial universe is a new universe in the "beginning of the universe" period. In the initial period, the universe continues to improve and form, and the original operating rules of the universe will become apparent.
In the vast universe, various celestial bodies such as planets, stars, white dwarfs, neutron stars, as well as various types of life such as humans, Zerg, demons, machines, etc. have evolved.
Many of these celestial bodies have harsh environments such as cosmic rays, ultra-strong magnetic fields, ultra-high temperatures, and super-gravity, which can be called "forbidden zones for life."
These lives may not be , but they rely on cultivation and understanding of the laws of the universe, thus evolving and possessing extremely powerful powers.
A cosmic-level strong man, normally only one is born on countless planets. He can destroy a continental plate on Earth with one punch. If he deliberately attacks the Pacific Ocean, he can even directly cause a tsunami that sweeps the world!
The body can withstand the extremely high gravity of a white dwarf, and can fight on a white dwarf in the physical body!
A world master-level warrior who can destroy a planet with a wave of his hand and has endless power in his body.
Immortal gods can even destroy a star system in an instant, and the powerful ones among them are so powerful that they can easily tear apart a neutron star.
But black holes are one of the two most amazing celestial bodies.
Even for the lowest level black hole, one needs the strength of a cosmic master to stand at the core of the black hole. For some super strong black holes, even the cosmic masters have to avoid them. The strongest "Toya black hole" has a powerful tearing and twisting force that is enough to destroy the cosmic membrane wall of the original universe.
The barrier of the cosmic membrane is extremely strong and only the master of the universe can break through it.
If that powerful devouring and twisting force acted on a cosmic master, he would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant.
Another type of wonderful celestial body is life-bearing planets such as the Earth, which constantly attract strange life forces in extremely vast areas and nurture life. This life force is invisible, but it does exist.
Celestial system.
Life system.
Different systems, perfectly combined.
This represents the gestation and birth of the origin of life.
In Lin Yan’s imagination, “black hole” represents the other side of the origin of life.
When a star or a galaxy is destroyed by a supermassive black hole, or even by a "Toya black hole" that can continuously destroy the membrane of the original universe, how vast an area will be destroyed?
"The original universe represents the origin of life. The origin of life contains various laws. In life, there is birth, death, and destruction."
"If 'life planet' represents birth, then 'black hole' means destruction."
It is precisely because of this that the "black hole" is so powerful. In a sense, it is the law itself and a manifestation of the origin of the original universe.
It is also because of this that even if the membrane wall of the universe is destroyed, the rules of the universe will not be manifested like in the "initial universe", because... such a primitive universe is still perfect.
…
For Lin Yan, cultivation is not simply about learning and solving problems. For many problems, one needs to look beyond the problems themselves to find the answers.
Thinking is an indispensable and crucial process for achieving progress.
He has always believed that apart from the existence has another huge advantage.
It is because we know more truths about the world that we can explore those things that are still shrouded in mystery from a more macro perspective.
Many of the things I have learned, if combined with "that story" and thought about, may lead to the right answers. Even if my current level is not high enough and I cannot study it at all, it can lead me on the right path.
…
Lin Yan himself continued to practice in seclusion on the Blue Star.
To study the "Principle of Chaos" and "Monument of Chaos in the Universe" and to practice secret methods such as "Demon Illusion", "Celestial Origin Wheel" and "Black Hole Evolution", according to Lin Yan's plan, he will stay on the Blue Star almost all the time during the gestation period of the Blood Ox clone.
Unless it is a mission assigned by the Virtual Universe Company.
In peace, time passes year by year.
In a blink of an eye…
It has been more than thirty years since Lin Yan returned to the Blue Star.
…
Virtual universe, Cangyue Bay, Heilongshan Island.
The silver plate hangs high, the bright moonlight shines down, and the quiet sound of flowing water can be heard from the bay under the night sky. It is a quiet and peaceful picture.
The continuous palace complex is like a fairyland.
Several people sat cross-legged under the moon, feeling detached and peaceful.
Lin Yan's clothes were plain white, quite elegant and otherworldly, like a banished immortal. He sat cross-legged in front of the tea table, and gradually, the water in the pot began to boil.
He stood up, and every movement he made had a strange power, as if at this moment, the heaven and earth became empty, the mind was calm and the breath was quiet, cleansing the human soul.
This kind of tea ceremony has reached a superb level.
Or it can be said to be "heavenly man".
The black-clothed man "Hong" and the white-robed bald monk "Leishen" who were sitting on the side looked at each other with surprise. Luo Feng, who was wearing silver armor, realized it later, but could also tell that something was extraordinary.
After a long time, Lin Yan spoke up and said, "Try it. This is the new tea I asked them to develop. It's called 'Bodhi'."
The fragrance lingering in the teacup makes people feel spiritually sublime.
Different from the amber color of the "elixir of life", "Bodhi" is green, and the color of the water in the teacup seems to be the reflection of the tea leaves, creating a natural charm.
"Okay." Hong's eyes lit up.
It was quiet here again, no one was talking, and everyone was sipping their tea.
Take a sip, the rich taste will produce an extremely wonderful feeling in your consciousness, your mind will be extremely peaceful, and you will quietly appreciate the beauty of it.
a long time.
“Lin Yan, your mood seems to have changed.” Hong smiled.
Lei Shen couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that you have already entered the second level of spiritual cultivation, 'Unity of Heaven and Man, Pure Heart'?"
“I guess so.” Lin Yan’s eyes were clear. He put down the teacup in his hand and chuckled, “I figured out some things, and then I naturally reached the second level.”
…
The three levels of spiritual cultivation.
The first level is to see one's true nature and directly point to one's original mind. In many Buddhist and Taoist texts, this is considered a manifestation of "attaining the Tao".
The second level is the unity of man and nature, and the heart of a child. This is already the pinnacle of theory, the state of mind is perfect, and countless celebrities in Chinese civilization who can achieve the unity of man and nature can be called ancient sages.
The third level is that the heart is infinite and embraces everything. It is unknown whether anyone in the history of ancient Chinese culture can achieve this except Hong.
In fact, there is no difference in the three realms, there is only a big gap in many aspects such as resistance to pressure, illusions, soul attacks, etc.
Similar to skills, it has an amplitude effect, which can increase the resistance by ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times.
A long time ago, when he cultivated to the limit of "enlightenment", he vaguely touched the perfect state of mind of unity between man and nature, and understood the principle of "harmony between yin and yang".
If you want, you can easily reach this state.
But... he didn't want to.
Because these are three paths, which means they are one choice.
When you choose such a truth and enter such a state of mind, it is also a shaping of your personality, so "want" or "don't want" is very important.
If you don’t agree with it in your heart, it is impossible to enter this state.
Compared with "harmony between man and nature", Lin Yan is more interested in the principles of "man" and wants to stick to the original intention of "man can conquer nature".
But--
While practicing "The Demonic Fantasy", he touched upon another truth.
To cultivate your mind, you must be single-minded.
"Knowing one's mind and seeing one's nature" is to find one's "true self". The true self is innate and is the basis of personality structure. It has a strong primitive impulse power. It represents desire and has an irrational side.
"Harmony between man and nature" is the awakening of the "self". The self follows the principle of reality and adjusts the thoughts in the mind with the thoughts in the outside world. It is located in the middle layer of the personality structure.
"Infinite mind" forms a "superego". The superego is a moralized self that follows moral principles and has three functions: one is to suppress the impulses of the id, two is to monitor the self, and three is to pursue the state of perfection.
It is located at the highest level of the personality structure, standing in opposition to the "id". Due to the conflict over the object, the superego tends to stand in opposition to the primitive desires of the "id".
"Knowing one's mind and seeing one's nature" can touch the principle of "harmony between yin and yang", but it is impossible to directly cross over to "tolerance of everything".
These are the three paths.
But from the perspective of "Demon Fantasy", if these three points cannot be handled well, the illusionist 's illusions will always be flawed.
And it is almost impossible to achieve this.
Because these three thoughts are in conflict and cannot reach their extreme, they will cause internal damage, which means that the will is not firm and the state of mind is full of flaws.
but!
However, there is another possibility from "The Demonic Fantasy".
This kind of magic is not just performed on people, it is more about realizing one's own enlightenment and fundamentally transforming the extremely mysterious "state of mind".
In other words, this is also an illusion performed on oneself.
When you believe who you are, that's who you will be.
Only by achieving this level can one reach the highest realm of an illusionist - everything is false, everything is real.
This is a very mysterious and terrifying state.
The path of an illusionist is actually very difficult to tread, because for those truly ancient and powerful ones, they have firm wills and strong minds, and it is extremely difficult to defeat them.
If you want to go to the extreme, you have to do it to the extreme.
If Lin Yan only "enlightened his mind and saw his nature", then he could only learn the "first volume" of "The Demonic World", and would not be able to peek into the more advanced "middle volume" and "last volume" because he would not be able to master them at all.
If one is at the "Hong" realm, one can learn "The Demonic Illusion", but the illusion techniques in the first two volumes cannot be cultivated to the extreme, and only the latter volumes have the possibility of reaching the extreme.
The highest realm pursued in this "Heavenly Demon Fantasy" is called "The Great Transformation of the Heavenly Demon"!
It is the "big self" that is different from the "id, ego, and superego", and it is the highest "self" that reaches the state of freedom!
He has been exploring this for the past thirty years, and now he has finally gotten a glimpse of the way. With just a single thought, he can achieve the state of "harmony between man and nature"!
The ability to resist pressure, illusions, soul attacks, etc. has reached ten times the previous level!
This is just a "first glimpse" and is still very far from reaching the ultimate "harmony between man and nature".
The reason why he was able to accomplish this in just thirty years was, firstly, because his own spiritual realm had already reached this critical point a long time ago, and secondly, because "cultivating the mind" was different from other practices and had little to do with the number of years of practice.
Some warriors would need to practice for tens of thousands of years at least to reach the level of immortal gods, and some would never be able to break through that level even in their entire lives.
But in terms of cultivating the mind, one can reach the highest level in just a few decades. After all, the lifespan of those saints in ancient China was only a few decades.
30 years!
During these 30 years, Lin Yan has made great progress in his comprehension of the laws, and is already close to the 16th level of Tongtian Bridge. His practice of the secret method of "Demon Illusion" is also proceeding in an orderly manner, but he is not yet at the level where he can "parasitize" the immortal Moyun Vine.
But in terms of state of mind, it has reached another level.
It is a new level different from "Luo Feng", "Thor" and "Hong", and it is a whole new realm beyond everyone's understanding!
