"Immortal!"
Xu Yi's tone was full of sighs.
I really didn't expect that he would reach this point.
Originally, he thought that he would need at least one or two worlds of accumulation before he could reach this point. Unexpectedly, he had already achieved his goal by accident while still in this world.
Normally speaking, even if you are a Grand Master, according to the system of the Immortality Realm, you are still two realms away from the Immortality Realm.
Not to mention, Xu Yi is now theoretically still in the second level of martial arts, the Qiao Lian Grandmaster realm, which is three realms away from the fifth realm of longevity.
Three realms in advance, he has the ability to live forever. It can only be said that the changes brought to him by breaking the limits of true energy and breaking the limits of the physical body are indeed too great.
But this is not the biggest change that breaking the limits of his true energy and body has brought to him.
The biggest change brought about by breaking the limits of his true energy and his physical body came from a piece of information suddenly sent to him by a mysterious bead.
Breaking limits is related to detachment!
If you can break through the limitations of your body, true energy, soul, and mind at the same time, you will directly achieve half-step transcendence when you reach the highest state of a certain system!
What is the concept of half-step detachment?
The mysterious bead that can now travel in the long river of time and space, leading Xu Yi to travel from world to world, is only a half-step of transcendence in its essence.
The strange Taoist ancestor who was powerful enough to influence countless worlds was not even half a step beyond his reach.
If Xu Yi can achieve the breakthrough of physical body, true energy, soul and mind at the same time in advance, then he can be said to be directly on the road to transcendence, taking half a step ahead of all cultivators.
In the infinite world, there are many cultivators walking on the road to transcendence, but how many people can ultimately achieve true transcendence?
Terrifying existences as powerful as the weird Tao Ancestor all fell into the final step.
Xu Yi was able to take half a step ahead of schedule, and he was already far ahead of countless practitioners on this path of transcendence.
If the Weird Dao Ancestor had already achieved a half-step of transcendence when he first experienced the Tribulation of Transcendence, with the power he showed, not to mention 100% transcendence, there would be at least a 95% chance of success in transcendence!
"The body, the essence, the soul and the mind."
"These are the four fundamental attributes of a cultivator!"
"As long as you are a cultivator, you cannot escape from these four major existences."
"If you want to transcend, you must simultaneously improve all four major paths to the extreme!"
"For me, detachment is still too far away. But with the help of the mysterious beads, I can travel through countless worlds and use endless resources. It may not be impossible for me to detach in the future!"
Xu Yi's eyes flickered and he was thinking about it in his heart.
His first goal at the beginning was immortality.
Nowadays, due to the breaking of the limits of true energy and the breaking of the limits of the physical body, this goal has been basically achieved.
Next, his goal should be the legendary transcendence.
Of course, the goal of transcendence is a bit too big and too far away. How many people have been cultivating for hundreds of millions of years and still cannot touch the edge of transcendence.
Even if Xu Yi cheated, he still fell far short of reaching the level of transcendence.
but······
"Transcendence is too far away. The four major ways of spiritual gas can break the limit, but it is not out of reach."
"Even for cultivators, the lower the level, the less difficult it is to break the limit."
"On the contrary, the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to break the limit! In the end, its difficulty is even second only to true transcendence."
Xu Yi is now in the second level of cultivation in a strict sense, and the difficulty of breaking the limit can be said to be second only to the first level.
In some ways, the second realm is the best place to break the limit!
In the first realm, cultivators can only be said to have just stepped onto the threshold of cultivation and do not understand anything at all. If you ask them to break the limit in this realm, you are completely embarrassing them.
Only after reaching the second level, practitioners have a certain understanding of the nature of cultivation, and the most important thing is to have a certain ability to explore and research. If we talk about breaking the limit at this time, we will no longer be like the moon in the mirror and the flower in the mirror. It’s just a common thing, but it’s actually feasible!
Of course, this is only feasible on the surface.
In fact, this is still something out of reach for the vast majority of practitioners.
Even for a cheating cultivator like Xu Yi, he could only embark on a journey of breaking limits with the help of the mysterious beads that had experienced three worlds and possessed the essence of half-step transcendence.
But now, he is halfway through the journey of breaking the limit. He has passed through both of the spiritual gases, leaving only his heart and soul.
"I don't have any clue about how to break the limits of the mind yet, but I have thought of a way to break the limits of the soul."
Xu Yi touched his chin.
This was what he suddenly thought of when he broke the limit of his true energy not long ago.
"The essence of breaking limits is to continuously expand a realm, broaden it to the extreme, and then break the limit. This is breaking limits!"
"Now my soul power, due to the concept of artistic conception, has reached the limit of nine hundred and ninety-nine years, which belongs to the second realm!"
But at this point, the concept of artistic conception has basically come to an end.
It was through contemplating the Tao of Yin and Yang and the Tao of the Five Elements that Xu Yi finally raised his soul power to the second level in a short period of time.
For him, going up further, these two paths no longer have much effect.
"Although there is still the Eight Diagrams path that can be visualized, it is obviously impossible to lead me to the soul breaking limit by relying on this path alone."
To use an analogy, if contemplating the Tao of Yin and Yang and the Tao of the Five Elements can elevate Xu Yi's Soul Tao to the level equivalent to practicing the Nine Stars, then adding the Tao of Bagua can at most elevate him to the level of Nine Stars. The level of Lianqiao Twelve Stars.
There is still quite a long way to go before we can truly break through the limit of practicing the Eighteen Stars.
"It's not enough to just add the Eight Diagrams, so what if I add other avenues?"
Xu Yi's eyes became deeper and deeper.
What’s the idea of artistic conception!
If one artistic conception is not enough, can't I just add a few more artistic conceptions?
Even if a few artistic conceptions are not enough, then what if I add dozens more?
If the quality is not enough, then I will use quantity to make up for it!
"If dozens of them don't work, I'll get hundreds of them. I don't believe I can't get your soul to break the limit!"
This is the method Xu Yi thought of to break the limits of the soul!
And based on the experience he gained from practicing the Eighteen Stars, his method is probably feasible!
But for the vast majority of practitioners, this method is actually as if it does not exist.
For the vast majority of practitioners, the cultivation of one artistic conception is enough to kill them, and they may not be able to reach the peak of cultivation in decades.
Do you still want him to practice dozens or hundreds of ways?
How many lives do you have, how dare you practice like this? !
Not to mention other cultivators, if it was Xu Yi in the past, if he wanted to do this, it would cost a lot of money - at least hundreds of years.
This was obviously a very energy-consuming thing for him.
But things are different now.
Or to be more precise, after Xu Yi solved the shortcomings of "The Dao Heart Demon Planting Technique", things became different.
After solving the various shortcomings of "The Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique", Xu Yi is now able to plant seeds all over the world at will and obtain spiritual power from the hearts of people in the world.
But gaining hundreds or even thousands of spiritual powers in one year is just like play to him!
Even if it is further optimized, it is not impossible to obtain thousands of years of spiritual power in one year, or even more.
what does that mean?
This means that Xu Yi has thousands of years of spiritual power every year, allowing him to enter the state of enlightenment!
"In order to break the limit of the soul before, every time I activate the enlightenment state, it takes at least nine hundred and ninety-nine years of spiritual power."
(PS: In order to practice the Eighteen Stars, Xu Yi activated the enlightenment state and directly consumed all the 999 years of spiritual power he had accumulated. The spiritual power consumed in the enlightenment state can only increase upwards. , cannot be reduced, so the next time he activates the enlightenment state, it will take at least 999 years of spiritual power.)
And because Xu Yi's spiritual realm is now stuck at the second limit, his spiritual power can no longer grow and has stayed at nine hundred and ninety-nine years.
This is considered a bug. As long as Xu Yi doesn't break through, it will only take 999 years for him to enter the enlightenment state.
In other words, Xu Yi needs 999 years of spiritual power every time he activates the state of enlightenment.
Although the spiritual power consumed has greatly increased, the time and effect of enlightenment have also skyrocketed!
"If I activate a state of enlightenment now, as long as the accumulated knowledge reaches a certain level, I can directly cultivate an artistic conception to the state of Dzogchen!"
What's the meaning?
If Xu Yi can acquire five thousand years of spiritual power every year, and if his knowledge keeps up, he can cultivate at least five artistic conceptions to the state of Dzogchen in one year!
Of course, if there is a lot of missing knowledge, that's a different matter.
Although Xu Yi is in a state of enlightenment and can directly understand from the outside world, the efficiency of doing so is far less than what you have in your own stomach.
Why in some worlds can some great Confucians achieve enlightenment and become sages directly?
It's because they have already accumulated a huge amount of information, and all that's left is a chance and an opportunity.
If you don't have anything, even if you have an epiphany, it will only be a slight improvement.
Combine the two.
A very clear route appeared in front of Xu Yi.
"Accumulate martial arts knowledge!"
"Collect the power of the mind!"
In order to quickly comprehend various artistic conceptions, he must accumulate a large amount of relevant martial arts knowledge.
In this regard, Xu Yi has actually done very well.
When he was in the last world, he had already collected the martial arts knowledge of the entire world. After coming to this world, he collected the martial arts knowledge of the entire Central Plains.
Even he himself cannot estimate the amount of relevant martial arts knowledge he possesses, and most of it has been stored in his memory palace.
In a short period of time, Xu Yi actually didn't lack much martial arts knowledge.
The martial arts knowledge in his memory palace alone can provide him with at least thirty or forty artistic conceptions.
But in the past, Xu Yi was worried that he would bite off more than he could chew, so he only had a brief taste of this knowledge and did not go too in-depth.
"Thirty or forty artistic conceptions, how can this make my soul break the limit?"
Xu Yi thought in his mind.
Even though the quality of these artistic conceptions is far inferior to the Yin Yang, Five Elements and Bagua Tao he has comprehended, the dozens of artistic conceptions added together should be enough to make up the remaining gap.
Of course, thinking this way, Xu Yi will definitely continue to collect more martial arts knowledge.
He is determined to break the limits of his soul! No one can stop him!
Even if he can't do it in this life, he must complete the soul breaking limit in the next life, and the next life after that!
And it must be completed in the second stage!
In the second realm, to break the limit of his soul, he only needs to understand the artistic conception. In the third realm, he has to understand the realm; in the fourth realm, he has to understand the laws!
The further you go, the difficulty increases sharply. In the end, even if Xu Yi fails, he may not be confident that he can do it.
"It should not be used in the next life."
"I have a feeling that in this life, I will definitely be able to break through the limits of my soul!"
This came from Xu Yi's hunch.
I don't know if it's because his physical body and true energy have broken through the limits, but he seems to have been strengthened in this regard, and he can sense some fuzzy information about the future in advance.
Xu Yi felt that his perception was not wrong.
In this life, he will definitely be able to break through the limits of his soul!
"At that time, I will have directly reached the three limits of the four limits of spiritual gas!"
There is only one last step left before the legendary four limits.
Although this step may be extremely difficult, Xu Yi has never thought about how he should complete the spiritual breakthrough so far.
The previous three realms of physical body, true essence, and soul all have methods of cultivation.
Xu Yi only needs to continue to develop and broaden along the original cultivation method. After reaching the extreme, he will naturally reach the step of breaking the limit.
But the soul...
Xu Yi still doesn't have any method of cultivation.
The reason why he has the power of the soul is because of the spiritual state opened by the mysterious beads.
Even the nine hundred and ninety-nine years of spiritual power he now possesses seems to have reached the limit of the second spiritual realm.
But in fact, these spiritual powers are not his at all, they were plundered from other people through the "Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique".
His own spiritual power may not be bad, but it definitely cannot reach the limit of the second realm!
As for how to carry out spiritual cultivation, raise it to the limit of the second level, and then break the limit to achieve spiritual breakthrough, Xu Yi didn't know anything at all.
"The mind breaks the limits..."
Xu Yi pondered for a moment, then finally shook his head and chose to give up temporarily.
This kind of power is too illusory. Except for a few worlds, only those worlds that stand at the top of the heavens can have a complete method of spiritual cultivation.
In a short period of time, he would basically have no chance of finding a breakthrough here.
"It's better to complete the soul breaking limit first!"
