Chapter 1012 The Immortal Nature (7000, the first change, ask for a monthly pass~)

"I don't think it's possible."

Ian was taken aback by Isengarde's guess, but after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head: "To be honest, all Terrans, including me, may not be able to figure out what the sixth energy level represents. What is it?"

"Even I don't know, and naturally Axel can't know."

Having said that, he found a table with Isengard and sat down.

Ian stretched out his hand, and the surrounding iron sand gathered, forming an ever-changing model: "Actually, the current division of Terra's five energy levels is actually wrong in my opinion."

"Let's take the 'Arcana Path' of 'everyone has a soul' as an example."

Saying so, the iron sand in Ian's hand condensed and turned into a humanoid shape.

"In the beginning, they were mortals. They had souls, but they couldn't perceive the essence, they couldn't perceive the soul. The human self was just succumbing to the stimulation of the body and the illusion of the perception of the soul. Many times, people's actions were not what they 'wanted to do. action', but the flesh spontaneously acted."

"At this stage, people can't even control their physical body, let alone their soul. There is something wrong with the body, and they can't even perceive it. They need to perceive their own body through feedback such as pain, inflammation, and dizziness."

Saying so, a small white dot lit up in the iron sand figure in Ian's hand. This small dot is located at the position of the brain, but it is completely separated from the body. It just burns in the body like a candle, and the faint light can only shine Very small location.

"Then, start to practice. Gather the source seeds, meditate to transform the soul, and practice the method of refining life and spiritual energy. You can perceive the source quality and soul, and step into a new field."

"At this point, even if you have stepped into the road of sublimation, you can better perceive and control your body. At this point, if there is a problem with the body, you can quickly detect it, and if there is a disease or inflammation in the body, you can quickly determine it. "

The white light in the iron sand figure became a little bigger, and the light also illuminated most of the body.

"The next step is the first energy level."

The iron sand human figure in Ian's hand, at this moment, part of the iron sand melted under the power of the electric current, and condensed into a piece of iron: "This is the sublimation organ, which is completely reshaped by the sublimator's 'self' and completely controlled by the 'self' Organs. We can regulate the power of these organs according to our own minds and completely control them. This is actually a very incredible thing.”

"Think about it, can mortals control their stomachs to secrete acid at will, can they wriggle, grind, or shrink and swell? Yes, we can't, our 'self' can't control our bodies, But at the first energy level, our physical body begins to obey our will, our 'self' because of sublimation."

"By this time, our thinking will hardly be affected by pure physical hormones."

Isengard listened carefully to Ian's narration, and he knew that this was Ian's telling him about the world in his heart and the way of sublimation, and it was also the prelude to his telling about the "sixth energy level" in his heart.

He is always willing to listen.

"At the second energy level, which is the stage where Terra's current way of sublimation 'condenses the soul'... This is actually wrong, because Terra's way of sublimation has gone awry, and the mature sublimation civilization is not shaping Soul, but 'mastering the soul', just like we control the body, bringing the soul into the control of our own will."

The iron sand and the iron block in Ian's hand made up the little figure, and there were strands of electric arcs. These arcs were scattered, but they could indeed speed up the interlacing and signals between the iron sands, which was the soul.

Just as human beings cannot control the operation of their internal organs and want the body to secrete dopamine and adrenal hormones, so that the body can secrete them, the second energy level of Tara's way of sublimation also cannot control one's soul, and can only shape A group of psychic thinking organs, which can speed up one's own thinking and enhance the ability to control the source quality.

But the arcane path is different—through the long-term transformation of meditation, at the second stage, the soul has also become a material that is completely subject to the control of self-will.

Practitioners of the arcane path can turn it into a computing device they like, or an auxiliary organ of source matter, or a balance instrument for coordinating the body.

In short, at the second energy level, the body and soul of a person are controlled by their own will, and they can make any movements and perform any skills they want without making any mistakes.

Where you want the knife to cut, the knife can cut it; as much reagent as you want to squeeze out from the test tube, you can squeeze out as much reagent.

Picking up the bow and arrow, you can know what kind of movement to make and what strength to use to make the bow and arrow hit the target.

No need for any 'practice makes perfect' as it is 'instinct'.

Not even that.

The iron sand figurine in Ian's hands, all the currents inside have become uniform, resonating and resonating to generate greater power.

"At this point, there is a gap between the arcane path and the Terra sublimation path."

Ian raised his hand, and he pointed towards the grass in the courtyard beside him. Immediately, a square 'cubic soil block' with a length of one meter and a height of one meter was lifted up.

In the next moment, the soil shrunk and solidified, turning into rock.But soon, the rock swelled again and turned into a cloud of dust, but in an instant, the dust turned back into a rock again.

Turn mud into stone, dust fog, gather dust into stone.The skills of the three kinds of soil-type source quality were displayed by Ian as he wished.

It looked ordinary, but it made Isengard widen his eyes, because he could see that Ian just used the computing power of his soul to use a little - even if he had just condensed the 'source seed', he had not yet become The "trace of power" that can be easily used by the apprentices of the first-level sublimation can affect the natural source quality in the surrounding time and space, achieving this delicate skill!
Use one point of strength to mobilize one hundred percent of strength!

If Ian uses all the source quality of the second energy level to resonate with the natural source quality of the surrounding time and space, and even uses "vindictive energy", I am afraid that he can easily exert a power comparable to that of the second energy level when driving the etheric weapon. Destructive power!
"At the second stage of the arcane path, this kind of 'self-control' ability will emerge. You can call it 'detailed' or 'full realm', the general second level of Terra, just A clod of soil is at most a rock, and the second stage of the arcane method that has reached the state of 'self-control' is an iron stone."

"And what about the third stage?"

Hearing this, Isengard concentrated his attention because he was in this 'second phase'.

Through long-term practice of meditation, with Ian's personal guidance, he has already reached the complete mastery of "body" and "soul". The reason for the power of the sun god bird.

Because, it is not the power to control him, but he to control the power.

But now, Isengard, standing at the boundary between the second stage and the third stage, is eager to know what to do next.

"Next, the third stage is to smelt the soul and body into one."

The metal figurine in Ian's hand was completely turned into a whole piece of iron under the action of the strong current, but because of the strong current, the body of this little man is extremely soft, and he can freely pose in various poses, even being shaped into Various forms: "At this point, it is to realize dreams, rule the body and soul, and condense into the light of the heart."

"At this step, it is no different from Terra's third energy level, but the arcane path is here, and there is another step, and this step is a step that completely surpasses the old system."

Having said that, Ian raised his head, and looked at Isengard with burning eyes: "Isen, what do you think you are? Where does your 'self' reside?"

"Is it your brain and spinal cord? Or your soul? Or your memory?"

"This……"

Yi Sen was slightly taken aback, he was stopped by the question.

Ordinary humans, without brains and spinal cords, naturally died more thoroughly, but if they had souls, they could still preserve their memories and even regenerate their brains and spinal cords.In this sense, the brain and spinal cord are not the lodgings of the ego in the Tara universe.

And the soul is even more important. Ordinary human beings have the ability to think without a soul. Losing a soul is nothing more than being severely injured, and they will not die.It is clearly not the lodging of the ego either.

So, memory?
If there is no memory, even if the body and soul are the original person, it will not be the same after all... But the memory is illusory and cannot exist alone, so how can it be called the self...

"Heart light."

As if seeing Isengarde's doubts, Ian emphasized his tone at this moment: "Heartlight body, the condensate of the original ether, the product of the fusion of body and soul."

"It is our materialized 'self', the carrier of our memories, our unchanging and eternal 'heart'."

"Tara's way of sublimation has reached this step in the pre-epoch civilization. They are still groping for the next road, but because of the disaster from the sky, they have to shift to the 'destructive power', so that they let themselves Ascension has stalled."

"The current Terra sublimators regard the mind-light body as the source of their new life and spiritual energy, and the center of the etheric body in the future, but they have never thought about why the mind-light body can become the "real body" of the etheric body. Center?"

"Because it is our true heart! It transcends the brain and spinal cord, transcends the body and soul, coordinates our memories, dreams and obsessions, and breaks the 'mind' itself of the demon!"

"Our memories will be engraved in the ether, and our will will be able to affect both the virtual world and the material world!"

Saying so, the steel villain in Ian's hand melted under the extreme high temperature, and the golden-red molten iron was suspended in mid-air, and the shining light pierced through the two worlds.

"This is the principle that I have realized recently. If it weren't for the trip to the New World and using the crystallized dragon body to experience it, I would not be able to understand all of this."

Staring at the golden molten ball in his hand, Ian said with emotion: "At this point, every practitioner of the third stage of the arcane path should open up a part of his own 'subspace', this subspace is Our heart light body is where the real body should be.”

"Our soul and body are just our real body, the 'shell' of our mind and light body walking in the material world and virtual world!"

"Since then, whether it is the destruction of the body or the shattering of the soul, it is not a fatal serious injury-as long as one of the two still exists, we can quickly recover the other. Only when the body and soul are destroyed at the same time can our mind, light body Because of the loss of the 'anchor point', it will be unable to perceive the virtual world and the material world, and then be 'exiled'. But this is not death. If it is prepared before, the mind light body can also control other bodies that it has prepared for a long time, and continue to act. "

"Isn't this almost immortal?"

Hearing this, Isengard, who was immersed in this possibility, exclaimed: "And wait, Ian, this seems to be your current state..."

"Yes, that's where I am now."

Ian nodded, and he pointed to his body: "This is the body of the pioneer of steel, the most powerful body I can walk in the material world. But I still have the body of the Glazed Emperor Dragon, and the lord of the Silver Peak Territory body."

"And the body of the goblin is the incarnation of my soul in the void."

"The destruction of each of these bodies will not affect the existence of other bodies. At most, the resources to shape these bodies will be lost. But as long as I am given enough time and resources, I can quickly recover my strength."

"But my true essence... is my heart light body, the guiding star."

A 'self' that transcends time and space.

"This is the limit of the third stage of the Arcane Path, and I have passed it."

"I've reached stage four."

Speaking slowly, Ian raised his hand and held the golden-red molten metal ball in his palm.But when the Prophet opened his palm, what appeared between the slender fingers was a roughly humanoid figure with dragon wings and dragon horns and a crown on its head.

Although the appearance of this human figure is very different from the current Ian, and the temperament is as solemn as a god, but Isengard can tell at a glance that this is 'Ian'.

"This is... your etheric body?"

Isengard guessed keenly, and Ian nodded slightly, then shook his head again: "This is just a guess, I haven't thought it through clearly, I just made a shape at random."

"The fourth stage of the arcane path, like the fourth energy level of Terra's sublimation, also needs to condense the etheric body."

"But the etheric body is different from the original form of the Terra sublimator imitating the true form of his own blood, and the most powerful fighting form condensed with ether, but 'the form of your true self'."

Ian stared at the palm of his hand, and he said slowly: "What is a human being?"

"Humanity……"

Isengard just wanted to speak, but he couldn't help thinking of the holy mountain where he was, thinking of Huaiguang, and thinking of the "human being" in Huaiguang's mouth-he hesitated for a moment, so that he couldn't figure out for a moment that "what is human beings?" what's the answer.

Human beings should not be that superficial thing, it is a more sublime essence... At least, in this universe, that is the case.

"Human beings are just the concept of blood and flesh. And this concept is surpassed in the third stage of the arcane path."

Ian stood up, and the metal figure in his hand took off like a goblin, flying around like a living being. He stared at the construct temporarily created by himself with his hands behind his back, and calmly said: "I have many bodies now, Every body is the real me, I can be a real dragon or a goblin, and naturally I can also be a crystallized dragon."

"I can even project myself into this small construct. This body made of iron and stone is also me."

"Am I not a human being? I just want to think that I can rub out a pure-blood human body from a pre-epoch civilization from the DNA structure. I can also become a goblin, a dwarf, a giant, a demihuman... I can It can be a space battleship, it can also be a mushroom, it can be the sun, it can be a star god, it can even be a thinking reed.”

"Ethan, just because we have reached this point, we are already extremely powerful, we can be all races, we can be all people."

"So none of us."

"We're just 'me.'"

"And for this 'unique, the only me in all universes', the 'true body' created is our 'ether body'."

This is the fourth stage of the Arcana path. It is not the fourth energy level to simply create a strong enough ether body to smash people with computers, but to design a completely suitable system for your own operating programs and software from beginning to end. The matching hardware, and give it a strong enough shell.

Perhaps, in terms of head-on confrontation with the enemy, this ether avatar cannot crush the fourth energy level.However, the ether avatar of the arcane path knows martial arts and uses various techniques.

Even with the same physical quality, the etheric avatar of the arcane path can hit the fourth energy level of the ten sublimation path.

Just like the body of Ian's Liuli Emperor Dragon, although the two sides in the battle did not try their best to fight to the death, revealing the true identity of the ether, the Lord of the Abyss and You Lan must have noticed it, and they might be able to delay it without using the true body , but once he reveals his etheric body, he will be instantly killed by Ian.

Moreover, the etheric body of the arcane path usually stays dormant in the subspace like the heart light body, and cooperates with various methods to reduce loss and prolong life.

The sublimator of the way of sublimation, the mind light body and the etheric body are compressed in the physical body, and even the computer is turned on for a long time - a computer does not go to sleep, it is always on and running, there is no supporting cooling and repair system, of course it is broken quick!
"Actually."

Having said that, Ian turned his head and looked at Isengard who was deep in thought: "The fifth energy level of Terra, its general definition, in my opinion, is nothing more than the high level of the fourth stage of the arcane path."

"The power of the ether avatar, the field generated, has reached a limit, which is enough to greatly affect the material world and the virtual world, and create devastating damage."

"This is just a pure power gap, not an essential sublimation, so in my opinion, Terra's fifth energy level is not the real fifth energy level."

"They, just because of the 'top blood' or various chances and coincidences, have obtained the 'peak of the fourth energy level' which far exceeds the limit power of the general fourth energy level!"

"...Barely understandable."

Isengard was astonished by Ian's arrogant announcement, and couldn't help but took a deep breath, but he still calmed down and asked seriously: "The fifth energy level needs the blood of the top seat, or the fifth energy level The organ itself is a bit strange and abnormal."

"This is obviously the result of not fully meeting the requirements, so I need to rely on external forces, other existing forces, to forcibly promote myself."

"But if that's the case, what about the fifth stage of the Arcane Path?"

"Actually, the people of Terra have already done a good job. The outstanding ones in Terra's way of sublimation, in fact, have also condensed the foundation of the true fifth energy level by virtue of their own strength after receiving the blood of the top seat."

Ian answered Isengarde's question earnestly: "Isen, didn't we see it in the capital of learning? Even if you die, the light of your heart will dissipate, transcending time and space, and it is almost eternal power."

"Immortality!" Isengard thought of it, and he exclaimed subconsciously: "It is immortality!"

"Yes."

Ian smiled and nodded: "I call it the 'immortal nature', simply put, it is immortality."

"This is the sign of the fifth stage of the arcane path: our heart light, the etheric body, has completely engraved ourselves in the ether, and has become an eternal, immortal and immortal nature in the long river of time."

"In Terra's way of sublimation, sublimators who are talented enough to realize this immortal power through the fifth-level organs and strange things of other creatures. They are those who have the blood of the top, or can Compared with the blood of the top, the strongest of an era, such as my teacher, Hilliard."

"There is a considerable gap in strength between the fifth energy level with immortality and the fifth energy level without immortality. This is why there are many fifth energy levels, but Terra only has eleven major forces. Grand Duke Thorin lost to Axel because he hasn't mastered immortality yet."

"This immortality, I haven't studied it thoroughly yet, so I plan to observe it with the help of Mikael's advancement. However, as a guess, I think it is reflected in time and space."

"Ether is an existence that transcends time and space. Immortal sublimators, just like the perfect real dragon, are primary super-dimensional life forms that inscribe themselves into the ether flow and exist in the past and future at the same time."

"Relying on their own ether furnace, which has the fifth energy level of immortality, I am afraid that they can transfer the past and future ethers in a short period of time, greatly increasing their instantaneous output."

"Even if they are both at the fifth energy level, one party can mobilize all their power for a few years, and the other party can only use it for a few months, and then there is a difference - and they cannot mobilize the power of the past and the future, only have the fifth energy level The 'fifth level' of the sublimation organ is essentially nothing but a higher fourth level with fifth level powers."

"That's the essential gap."

"So that's how it is..." Isengard fully understood at this moment that Terra's way of sublimation is indeed full of flaws, even relying on the power of other civilizations, first gaining power, and then slowly replenishing the realm, even for the sake of destructive power. An unbalanced system that destroys the balance of one's own life.

And the arcane path reshaped all the distorted branches, expounding the essence of sublimation in a simpler and more direct way.

They are all strong men, one side is injected with hormones, replaced with limbs of other creatures, and even modified with metal prostheses, while the other side can do it with pure flesh.

It is clear at a glance who is higher and who is lower, and whose potential is greater.

"so."

Isengard said softly: "Even you can't imagine, what is the concept of the sixth energy level?"

"Yes."

Ian nodded slightly: "The fifth energy level already involves immortality, so the real sixth energy level should theoretically be true immortality."

"The fifth energy level with immortality mobilizes the power of the past and the future, and it will also consume its own essence, just like Kerizin used other people's immortality to forge roads, it will be depleted. And the sixth energy level , there should be no loss."

"Maybe..." Saying this, Ian looked in the direction of the New World: "It's a kind of 'perpetual motion machine?'"

"Or, is the perpetual motion machine one of the necessary conditions for the sixth energy level?"

"But that's the end of my guess. It's already a fully sublimated super life form, beyond our cognition. It's a pure etheric time and space life. With Terra's background, at least within a few hundred years, I don’t think it can be cultivated.”

"You can't do it either?" Isengard asked unwillingly.

"I……"

Ian closed his eyes, and he looked back at the many roads and past possibilities in his heart. He calmly said: "I may be possible."

"But out of countless possibilities, all failed."

"only."

The white-haired prophet opened his eyes, and he smiled gently and confidently: "This time, I think I can succeed."

After the words fell, Ian turned his head and looked in the direction of the Yinfeng leader: "I have told Mikael all these thoughts before. I hope he can succeed and become the fifth energy level with immortality."

"As long as I can figure out how to condense 'immortality' with my light body and etheric body, I have the confidence to become the most powerful fifth energy level in all of Terra."

"Look, he's starting now."

"Success or failure is here."

at the same time.

imperial capital.

On the planetary shield control center platform, Axel, the keeper of the earth, also turned his head and looked towards the south of the empire.

"Really? Now it's time to advance."

Behind the emperor who was alone was the light flow of the shield that went straight to the sky to fight against the mighty disaster of light. He stared at the south of the mainland: "Sure enough, I found Ian Yinfeng as an ally... This is your only chance."

"What a contradiction. I hope you come later, and I hope you come sooner."

Laughing softly, Axel turned around.

He took a step and stepped into the beam of the planetary shield generator of the imperial capital.

The most powerful sun bird, choose to melt into the light.

And Nanling.

The second most powerful sun bird, Mikhail Setar, is leading the silver peak, starting to advance to the fifth energy level.
