Thousands of years?
Even though Xu Yi was prepared, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and feel troubled.
It is impossible for ordinary second level cultivators to live that long.
Even among the third realm cultivators, very few can live for thousands of years.
Xu Yi also has a lifespan of thousands of years because his body broke through the limitations and awakened the blood of the Human Emperor.
However, if this is the case alone, there is still no guarantee that one will be able to comprehend an artistic conception beyond the top artistic conception.
Understanding this artistic conception requires not only time, but also sufficient accumulation!
In this regard, Xu Yi is indeed much better than ordinary cultivators. Counting this world, he already has the accumulation of three worlds.
However, this alone may not be enough.
The main reason is that all he has experienced is a small world, and he does not have much knowledge related to chaos, time and space, infinite and other artistic conceptions.
It is said that it is thousands of years, but it is all for the sake of the state of enlightenment.
Otherwise, if this time is increased ten times, it will be impossible to comprehend it.
"The best way is to experience a few more worlds. If you can go to a special small world where people can easily understand chaos and the artistic conception of time and space, then maybe this time can be shortened significantly."
In the long river of time and space, there are countless worlds, and it is not surprising that any world appears.
The small world has the ability for people to understand chaos and the artistic conception of time and space. Although this is very exaggerated, the possibility is not even one in a billion.
But below this order of magnitude, as long as it is possible, it must exist!
certainly.
It is inevitable, whether you can find it or not is another matter.
Xu Yi's golden finger, the mysterious bead, does not have the ability to explore or delineate the world. He wants to find the only inevitable existence among the billions of possibilities...
To be honest, it would be safer for him to spend thousands of years honestly.
This approach won't work.
"Is there any other way?"
Xu Yi thought about it again and again, and finally he came up with a method.
"Since it is so difficult for me to re-understand a super-top artistic conception, then why don't I combine the artistic conceptions I have on the existing basis to see if I can fuse it into a super-top artistic conception?"
This is inspired by the artistic conception of Yin Yang, Five Elements and Bagua.
These three artistic conceptions are themselves formed by the fusion of multiple artistic conceptions.
If separated, they might just be ordinary first-class artistic conceptions, but when fused together, they directly become top-notch artistic conceptions!
The more Xu Yi thought about it, the more reliable he felt this method was.
"I now have thirty-six kinds of perfect artistic conceptions, including six top artistic conceptions!"
"If I can perfectly integrate these thirty-six artistic conceptions, I can definitely form a truly top-notch artistic conception!"
Xu Yi's eyes lit up and his expression became excited.
Compared with re-understanding a new super-top artistic conception, his method is much easier!
And with his current accumulation, it is entirely possible to integrate a super-top artistic conception.
Although half of the thirty-six kinds of great perfection he has comprehended are ordinary second-rate artistic conceptions, there are six top-level artistic conceptions, and the remaining twelve are all first-rate artistic conceptions.
Calculated, it can be equivalent to at least nine or even ten top artistic conceptions.
Ten top-level artistic conceptions merged into one, isn't it better than one super-top artistic conception?
Xu Yi felt that this was definitely comparable!
"Try it!"
Xu Yi made up his mind.
Anyway, there is nothing to lose by giving it a try.
Even if he failed in the end, he would just go back to the previous path.
If successful...
He will directly save more than a thousand years of time!
"The only question now is, what kind of super-top artistic conception should I condense?"
Xu Yi began to frown and think deeply.
Not all artistic conceptions can be called super-top artistic conceptions.
Just think about it, when even the artistic conceptions of Yin and Yang, Five Elements, Bagua, Life and Death, etc. can only be regarded as top-level artistic conceptions, you can know how high the threshold for super-top artistic conceptions is.
Xu Yi previously regarded Tai Chi and Wuji as super-top artistic conceptions, but actually thinking about it seriously, these two might be a little bit worse.
Although these two artistic conceptions can be said to be advanced artistic conceptions of the yin and yang artistic conception, compared with the artistic conceptions of chaos and time and space, they still seem to be slightly inferior.
In Xu Yi's mind, there are only four types of artistic conceptions that can truly be called super-top artistic conceptions without any doubt.
One is chaos.
The second is time and space.
The third is strength.
Fourth is the world.
There is no need to say much about the first two. As long as Pangu is brought out about the third artistic conception of power, most people will probably recognize it.
Absolute power, or the ultimate destination of endless power.
Everything in this world can be attributed to the concept of 'force'.
Such as the four fundamental forces of the universe, which are the most fundamental existence of the universe.
The fourth artistic conception of the world, or the artistic conception of the universe, also needs no introduction. This is the synthesis of billions of avenues in the world.
Artistic conceptions such as yin and yang, the five elements, the Eight Trigrams, the Four Symbols, life and death, stars, etc. are all included in the artistic conception of the world.
In addition to these four major artistic conceptions.
There are also some such as fate, reincarnation, the Five Innate Masters, etc., which may be called super-top artistic conceptions, but Xu Yi always felt that they were a little inferior, so he did not include them.
"For me now, if I want to go further, I have three options."
"Chaos mood!"
"The artistic conception of power!"
"The artistic conception of the world!"
The four super-top artistic conceptions, apart from the time and space artistic conception, which is really impossible to do, the other three artistic conceptions are the directions that Xu Yi can choose to integrate and advance.
In terms of the artistic conception of chaos, he has the artistic conception of yin and yang. If you go back to the beginning, it is chaos.
Even the artistic conception of the Five Elements and the Eight Diagrams are still chaotic if they are constantly pushed backwards.
The three top artistic conceptions that Xu Yi possesses are all related to the chaotic artistic conception. If he continues to integrate and return to his roots, it is very possible to condense the chaotic artistic conception.
This is followed by the artistic conception of force.
Xu Yi himself has the artistic conception of the same name, and it is also an artistic conception of top power based on the four basic forces of the universe.
If he takes the artistic conception of force as the core and integrates the artistic conception of Yin and Yang, the five elements, life and death, stars, etc., it is also possible to sublimate it and advance it to a super-top artistic conception.
Finally, there is the artistic conception of the world.
The artistic conception of the world embraces everything. The artistic conception of yin and yang, the artistic conception of the five elements, the artistic conception of the Bagua, the artistic conception of the stars, the artistic conception of disaster, the artistic conception of prosperity and so on, which Xu Yi now possesses, are all included in the artistic conception of the world.
If Xu Yi integrates all the thirty-six kinds of perfect moods he currently possesses, it is also possible to merge them into a super-top world mood.
Three super top artistic conceptions.
They represent three different choices and three different directions respectively.
Xu Yi first eliminated the second option - the artistic conception of power - as his own option.
The artistic conception of power destroys everything!
With absolute power, open up the world and sweep across the world!
You only need to think about the legendary Pangu to know how terrifying this path will be if it reaches the end.
This is definitely an extremely powerful path!
Unfortunately, this was not the path Xu Yi chose.
Although many times, he uses absolute power to achieve his goals, this does not mean that he is more inclined to the concept of 'power is the only'.
In fact, compared to 'power is the only', Xu Yi believes more in 'knowledge is the only'.
He took the path of comprehending endless knowledge and incorporating all the knowledge of the heavens and worlds into his own body.
To use a popular method, it is Wandaoliu.
Xu Yi's ultimate goal is to gather the power of ten thousand ways.
The Way of Power is very strong, but unfortunately it is not suitable for Xu Yi.
The remaining Chaos Avenue and World Avenue belong to the classic genre of Wandaoliu.
It's just that the former belongs to the oneness of all ways, and the latter belongs to the unity of all ways.
It’s a word difference, but actually it’s a world of difference.
At the end of the Avenue of Chaos, only chaos remains, so He is the only one.
When the world's great ways come to an end, ten thousand ways are still ten thousand ways, but they just coexist within the world.
"The only one in ten thousand ways?"
"Or is it all in one?"
Xu Yi felt extremely hesitant and entangled in his heart.
Obviously, this choice is not only related to whether he can break the limit of his soul, but also related to his future path!
After he has made this choice, he will take this as his direction in the future and keep walking until the end of the road and finally transcendence.
Although it can be replaced during the process, the early efforts will be wasted!
The most important thing is that the way of cultivation is all about concentration. If you give up halfway, it will be a huge blow to your Taoist heart!
Except for a very small number of people who have been re-cultivating in the past, most of them have no great potential, and their height is even lower than before the re-cultivating.
So if they didn't have no choice, almost no one would choose to rebuild.
"Everyone in the world believes that the integration of inside and outside is the right way to practice. What is the path of internal strength cultivation, external strength (martial arts/techniques) should also follow the same path."
According to this concept, Xu Yi should take the path of chaos.
Because the "Taiyi Heart Sutra" he created and practiced himself takes this path.
"but!"
"I just don't want to do this!"
Xu Yi directly rejected this right path recognized by everyone.
This is not because he is arrogant and thinks that everyone in the world is not as smart as himself, but because he finally made such a choice after very serious and detailed consideration.
"The same Wandaoliu, Chaos Avenue and World Avenue are actually two completely opposite extremes!"
"The former is to dissolve all the ways and completely transform them into the pure avenue of chaos."
"The latter is to sublimate all the ways and completely transform all the ways in the world!"
"For individual cultivators, becoming more pure is a good thing, especially when it comes to transcendence. Pure cultivators are obviously more likely to transcend than those who are impure."
That unknown and strange Taoist ancestor failed to survive the final catastrophe of transcendence because he was too impure.
Of course, you can also say that this is just an example and does not represent everything.
But at least relatively speaking, he is more pure personally, and he is better than that weird Taoist ancestor.
"But it's different when it comes to martial arts. Rather than being pure and single, I hope that a hundred flowers can bloom and all paths can advance together!"
What's more, Xu Yi also thought about the future.
The pure Avenue of Chaos is certainly very powerful, but when it is too pure, it lacks some kind of contradiction.
If there is a world path that is completely opposite to it, even if we stagnate in the future, we can still refer to each other.
Through the collision between them, some unknown spark is generated to promote his cultivation.
Compared with the single Avenue of Chaos, the fusion of the two super roads of Chaos and World is definitely much more powerful!
"The only problem is that it will probably take more time and effort."
"Even if you don't have enough talent, you will probably get stuck in a certain realm and never be able to move forward!"
Those are the Avenue of Chaos and the Avenue of the World.
Any one of them belongs to the most top-notch avenue, and can definitely be ranked in the top three of all the ways in the world.
The cultivators in the world who can practice one of these great ways are already extremely terrifying monsters!
Practicing both at the same time?
That is simply unimaginable!
Even if it is opened, it may not work.
What's more, Xu Yi's problem is not particularly powerful to put it bluntly. In terms of level, it is only half a step above the level of detachment, not even detachment.
Of course, Xu Yi did this because he had his own confidence.
"Although the Avenue of Chaos and the Avenue of World are two completely opposite directions, their essences all originate from the Ten Thousand Daos."
"In terms of early accumulation, cultivation, etc., there are actually very big similarities between the two!"
It can be said that Xu Yi's current path of collecting world knowledge is completely to prepare for the Avenue of Chaos and the Avenue of the World.
They are both. The more knowledge you collect and the deeper your understanding, the more powerful they will be!
Before you finally transform into the Avenue of Chaos, you can even directly say that you are walking on the Avenue of the World.
Or, when you reach the extreme of the world's avenue, it is not impossible to destroy the world and return it to chaos.
Or, when you reach the end of the Avenue of Chaos, you can break new ground and create a brand new world, which is also possible.
The Avenue of Chaos and the Avenue of World seem to be two extremes, but just like the Avenue of Yin and Yang, yin is extremely yang and yang is extremely yin.
Under certain circumstances, they are completely interchangeable.
"This, perhaps, is the essence of Wandaoliu!"
Since the Avenue of Chaos and the Avenue of World both originate from Ten Thousand Daos and have the same essence, isn't it normal that they can transform into each other?
This is the fundamental reason why Xu Yi made this choice.
"To a certain extent, I can say that I have become one inside and outside."
Xu Yi smiled. He didn't care much about the right way of cultivation, but there was still some truth in it.
Maybe, this is the legendary way to the same destination?
