"Become an immortal?"

The two words written in blood were scrawled very wildly, which shows that the person was mentally unstable when he wrote this sentence.

Even though Li Heng's spirit was already very strong and stable, he was still shocked by the obsession conveyed in this text.

He really couldn't understand that in this day and age, there were really people who were so obsessed with becoming an immortal?

In this era of technological prosperity and mysterious fading, no matter what, no one should be so stupid and superstitious that they think immortals really exist, right?

What's more, just looking at these relics, this person is definitely not stupid, on the contrary, he is extremely wise.

But perhaps it was this wisdom that made him unable to extricate himself from it. It seemed that he had been studying this all his life.

The way to become an immortal!

These large amounts of handwritten notes, notes, and paper manuscripts are records of different periods of time and different developments.

There are so many of them that even if Li Heng mobilized all his mental power and used "quantum reading", he would not be able to read them all in a short time.

And looking at these things, Li Heng even felt a familiar resonance in his heart.

This feeling is just like when I kept recording and studying my own experiences in my hometown!

It's just that this person's research direction is not the same as his own. He studies completely based on the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, alchemy, Yili and Zen mind science, and does not involve modern scientific knowledge.

Moreover, the time span in which he studied and recorded far exceeded his own.

These records are likely to span several decades, completely covering most of his life.

This is a person who looks very much like me.

Li Heng continued to study all kinds of knowledge and study his own human body in order to pursue transcendence, while this man was knowledgeable in ancient and modern rituals, Buddhism and Buddhism, studied astronomy and Yili, and counted elixirs in order to become an immortal!

However, the difference between the two is that he did not [transform mortal into saint].

This is very obvious. Although this person has studied and practiced for many years and has a profound knowledge of Taoism, Buddhism, medicine, Yixue and other theories, he is still a mortal body and cannot have supernatural powers.

Just like those great scientists, they have an extremely deep understanding of the natural laws in their respective fields, far beyond ordinary people, but this knowledge cannot help them in turn transform themselves.

Knowledge can bring power, but knowledge does not equal power.

And this person is obviously deeply troubled by it. No matter how profound his knowledge is, no matter how thorough his understanding is, it is impossible for him to become an immortal in this mortal world!

In this regard, his temperament changes are almost clearly reflected in these manuscript notes.

In addition to a large number of academic annotations and research, he also left many of his own thoughts, and the changes in his mentality can be clearly seen between the lines.

From the beginning of his pursuit of knowledge, to the years of dedicated study, to the various questions that kept appearing in his annotations in the later period, it all means that he fell into self-doubt.

"When will the elixir be completed? When will the elixir be completed?"

"What is Qi? Is the 'Qi' I understand really the so-called Jing Qi?"

"The formless soul is an external object of heavenly law. How can it be done from the imaginary to the real? How can it be done?"

"The Bodhi tree has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust... If my heart has no external objects, I will have no motivation to seek the Tao. If my mind is stained with dust, my soul will be ignorant."

So far, I have only questioned the Zen philosophy and Taoism I have studied and reflected on my own differences.

But as Li Heng continued to read, as his practice continued.

"Am I wrong again? Am I wrong again?"

"If the true nature of the spiritual root is not revealed, how can a mortal understand the mystery of the sky?"

"The elixir has not yet been completed, it has not yet been completed!"

"Another year...thirty years...thirty years..."

"ah--"

You can even see a hint of madness in the words, muttering to oneself and delusional thoughts.

Later, these changes showed that his mental state was contrary to the Taoist and Zen principles he had studied. He was completely unable to be calm and calm, and his emotions and thoughts were completely dominated by the obsession to become an immortal.

But Li Heng could also understand to some extent that this scholarly and talented seeker had come with purpose and desire from the beginning.

At the beginning, he had meditated, calmed down, and had no external objects in his mind just to seek the Tao. Otherwise, he would never have been able to study and search for thirty years, just like an ascetic monk who did not seek any fame, fortune, or wealth, and even finally returned

Move to this deserted mountain cave to meditate quietly.

With this kind of perseverance and sincerity, it can be said that most of the so-called Buddhist and Taoist monks in the world today are not even close to the mark.

However, time does not wait for mortals. Thirty years have passed, and even though he has learned all the ancient and modern wisdom and reached the heavens, his mortal body is still a mortal body after all.

"There are true spiritual laws in the world, but there are no legal persons."

In a text that was discarded in a corner, Li Heng found such a sentence. The handwriting that wrote this sentence was loose, weak and spiritless. You can imagine how pessimistic and powerless the author was at the time.

In just one sentence, Li Heng saw the despair of a modern seeker.

However, from the words he wrote, it can still be seen that he firmly believes that there is a real spiritual path in this world, and there is a so-called "true spiritual method", but there are no human beings who can accept this method.

Li Heng pondered this sentence and thought in his heart:

"In other words, there are really extraordinary existences in the world, but this extraordinary existence cannot be obtained by humans?"

Li Heng couldn't help but look at the panel in his mind. There were still a few simple words marking his simple attributes and extraordinary abilities.

This sentence can't help but be thought of what I possess [transforming mortals into saints].

Is this the so-called "true spiritual method"?

Am I the only human being who can accept this method?

However, he has neither studied nor understood the truth, nor has he practiced hard for half his life. How can he accept this "true spiritual method"?

Li Heng immediately shook his head and stopped his thoughts.

"You cannot fall into this kind of thinking spiral. Everything here is just this person's conjecture and speculation. It cannot be used as an established truth to deduce and think about."

"A modern practitioner, a persistent seeker of immortality, what he thinks and gains can be used as a reference but cannot be applied in its entirety. You cannot believe it or not believe it."

His mind was still able to remain calm and peaceful in dealing with these amazing discoveries.

"As expected..."

With the subsequent reading of notes, Li Heng was able to determine that the headless corpse buried at the foot of the mountain was the owner of this place, the seeker who wrote these things.

There is no other reason, time waits for no one.

Thirty years have passed, and his life has reached its twilight years, but the path to immortality is elusive, and the possibility of transforming him into an immortal has not appeared at all.

He has studied and tried all the techniques of righteous cultivation.

All that's left are the odd and unorthodox methods.

Looking at his records, he also mentioned bloody and terrifying methods such as blood collection, soul seduction, life sacrifice, human elixir, etc., but he gave up all of them.

After all, he has been practicing for half his life, and he cannot accept these techniques that harm his body and life.

In the end, he chose this unknown [Tree Immortal Technique], which was derived from an unknown person who wrote it and who didn't know when it was written.
