I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

At this moment, thousands of miles of auspicious clouds gathered on the floating island, but in the center, the clouds opened up and the skylight fell on the ground.

The Jindan cultivators on Penglai Island, who came from the ten thousand islands of the East China Sea, followed the call and jumped to the island in the clouds with the help of the eight trigrams spiritual light. The whistling wind stopped in their ears, and a solid and heavy feeling grabbed their bodies. They fell on the jade steps of the cloud platform, and the feeling of being down to earth formed a strange gap with the feeling of being in the sky.

Lin Chen and others stood in this cloud platform. There were many square cloud platforms like the one under his feet around him. Some of them were the altars of the earth for sacrifices by the mortal dynasty. They were scattered in the vast clouds, with thousands of them, and at this time, Jindan real people were pouring out.

The cloud platforms were full of flowers, lush trees, and gurgling water... a peaceful world.

On the Yuntai, the peaks and long mountains suspended in the sea of ​​clouds, with jade buildings hidden on the top, and the shadows of people from the nine major immortal sects appeared in the pavilions.

Above the buildings, there were floating jade pillars, covered with mats, emitting a jade-like luster, and one after another shining figures appeared in them.

The Tianhe Yuanying Wuzhongjun who was provoked on the island, the Baicao Shangren who carried the evil god statue in the flying boat sea city, and the Liekong Zhenjun who was responsible for besieging and killing the Fuyao Yunjing... Lin Chen even saw a very familiar figure on it, the Umbrella Rain Domain, the next generation of Tianhe Sect's Shenhua reserve... Xingyu female cultivator!

During Lin Chen's travels in the East China Sea, all the Yuanying cultivators who came into contact with him directly or indirectly appeared here.

One after another, the Dao luck spread and unfolded, the flowing light realm, the eternal silent shadow, the boundless sea of ​​fire, the water abyss in the marsh... layer by layer, appearing in the sky.

Normally, the dragons do not wag their tails. The Yuanying Zhenjuns who hide in the depths of the major spiritual veins and sit in important strongholds in various places all appear at this moment.

Whether they come in real bodies or in projections, a glance at their number shows that there are nearly a hundred of them. Each of them has lived for thousands of years and is a real high-level person in this world!

As for the higher place, it is the top of the entire floating spiritual island. There is only a sound of jade chimes, and the sound resounds. Several figures appear on the top of the archipelago. When they appear, the whole island seems to tremble slightly and emits heavenly music.

In an instant, tens of thousands of cultivators on the island felt as if the entire sky was covered by a brilliant river of heaven. An extremely huge Zhoutian star ship sailed in the sea of ​​stars. The cold light from the Hades Ancient Era fell, but it dissipated in the thunder that suddenly rose on the island...

This feeling disappeared in an instant. On the top of the peak, a ball of green light rose, and then suddenly dissipated, revealing five figures. The spiritual energy of the entire world seemed to be sensed at this moment, and swept in one after another, as if worshipping their own king.

Then, the sound of bells and chimes and the flowing water of sweet springs made people feel clear in their hearts.

Gathering tens of thousands of golden pills in the East China Sea, disciples of the nine major immortal sects, and nearly a hundred Yuanying Zhenjun, this huge meeting officially began!

Although the purpose of this conference is to fight the Ten Battles of Hell, it does not mean that the focus is only on how to fight, but also involves a series of issues.

After all, the start of the war, the preparation of food and grass, the mobilization of personnel, the compensation for the dead in the war, and once so many cultivators are mobilized, will it affect the defense of Wolong Customs, will it give demons an opportunity to take advantage of it, how to avoid hurting friends during the war, etc., and after the big interests are fought for, how to divide the small interests... all need to be fought for.

Although Lin Chen received a lot of intelligence from Jiudonghai, he focused on the secret techniques, the movements of high-level cultivators, and the knowledge of the hundred arts of cultivation... For this kind of relationship network and interest competition situation in the East China Sea Immortal Alliance, which is interconnected, mutually restrained, and very complicated, he really has no intention to understand.

Therefore, there are constant speeches by Yuanying Zhenjun. Some of the literal meanings can be understood, which involves authority, but the focus of the hidden competition, lack of information, and the game are completely unknown. Lin Chen was confused... and almost fell asleep.

Sure enough, after two lives, he, who took the technical route, still couldn't get into the doorway.

"Hey, Brother Lin, although the Jindan from all the islands have been summoned to attend this East China Sea event, the Jindan cultivators are only qualified to attend the meeting as observers. Unless there are special circumstances, you will not be allowed to speak." Xu Yuanyang, who was standing by, saw Lin Chen holding his chin, looking absent-minded, and even looked like he was about to fall asleep, so he quickly approached and spoke.

"I know that the people above like to make a scene. They have to call a group of people to a meeting to vote on something that has been discussed long ago, so that it seems that many people agree. In fact, they have already decided internally, but they just want to go through the motions..." Lin Chen yawned and said casually, "Big things are held in small meetings, small things are held in big meetings. Hasn't it been like this since ancient times?"

"Daoyou is right..." Song Jingxuan nodded in agreement, "So I always think that they are doing this kind of broken formality. In the final analysis, it has to be based on strength. Only fools will be fooled by this kind of empty stuff!"

"At least it should be fair on the surface..." Lin Chen smiled indifferently, then swept the surrounding cloud platforms, and said with a hint of meaning, "But then again, I didn't expect that the Wandao Jindan you always talk about does not only refer to the quantity, but also the method of cultivation?"

"The ten thousand islands in the East China Sea have ten thousand different methods, and there are ten thousand different methods, and they lead to ten thousand different roads... Is this also the so-called spiritual island in the East China Sea, with all its prosperity?"

The various arts of cultivating immortality in this world are different from Lin Chen's initial impression. They are not only a supplement to the orthodox Qi training method, but also the key to the path of Yuanying.

After all, everyone who can reach or have the hope of becoming a Nascent Soul is following the path of specialization.

They go very deep in one area and then use it to touch other areas.

From the beginning of practice, choose one of the immortals and hundreds of arts to master. In the slow practice process, you will continue to study, and then embark on the path of specialization, becoming an formation cultivator, sword cultivator, etc., and finally become the path of your own path. , which is the practice process of Donghai monks.

It is also because of this process that every spiritual island with a Taoist tradition in the East China Sea has its own specialized path, such as the way of puppets on the Wanpuppet Island, the way of spiritual planting on the Baicao Ling Island, and the way of cultivating the law on the Wanfa Spirit Island. …

Then we will subdivide this path, such as the path of elixirs, or the herbal stream that uses the essence of plants and trees as medicine, the current mainstream in the world of immortality.

The beast elixir that uses the essence of the skin, hair, scales, horns, flesh and blood of the beasts as medicine, plunders their innate magical powers to perfect one's body, and then comprehends the legendary great magical power [transformation], and uses it to reincarnate into the most perfect race in the world [celestial beings]. flow.

Or use gold and iron ore as medicine to refine a sword elixir, temper it with true energy day and night, and then use the sword to light up the mineral elixir flow in the nineteen states.

There is also the Qi Dan flow that collects the essence of the sun and the moon, the earth's magnetic energy, the purple energy of the morning sun, etc., and melts it into a furnace to turn the energy into elixirs.

Finally, there is the use of human beings as medicine, such as the human elixir flow of Zi Chehe, full-moon babies, boys and girls, etc.

The path of alchemy alone can be divided into five roads, and each road can be further divided, such as the clear and turbid yin and yang of the Qi Dan, the division of the five elements, the asexuality of the egg embryo of the Beast Dan, the classification of the types of Mineral Dan...

By analogy, each path of cultivating immortals and hundreds of arts has more detailed divisions. Coupled with Tianjiao's innovation, different methods have been created.

Moreover, due to contact with foreign lands, they were influenced by foreign Taoism. On the basis of cultivating immortals with spiritual roots, they also derived the methods of worshiping gods with incense, restraining spirits and terrifying ghosts, and martial arts...

Thousands and thousands of various Dharma paths prevail in the East China Sea. If Middle Earth is the place with the largest number of heavenly and earthly people, then the East China Sea is the place where the Immortal Way is most prosperous.

The spiritual energy is divided into hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, and each art is divided into hundreds of different paths. The monks who come from the East China Sea are not only their number, but also the methods they practice.

There are differences between each method. Each method is created by the accumulation of experience of predecessors. None of them are the same or even similar. They are completely like a flower blooming and each branch expressing itself.

Each monk has his own unique method. Each island is equivalent to a cornerstone of the world of cultivation. Just like a certain industrial chain in Lin Chen's previous life, he holds a key technology monopoly on every part, thus forming a Under the Nine Immortal Sects, small and medium-sized islands are prevalent, and they remain a traditional sacred scene from generation to generation.

That’s why the entire East China Sea has the Ten Thousand Spirit Islands, which is known as the prosperous cultivation world!

"Yes, this is also the most unique place in the East China Sea. Unlike the five major immortal sects in Middle-earth, where the small and medium-sized forces are constantly updated and only harvested by the upper levels, in the entire East China Sea, every spiritual island has its own exclusive method. , is an indispensable part of the entire Immortal Alliance market, so most forces like them can survive these tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years without losing..."

Having said this, Song Jingxuan also put away the playful smile on his face and said calmly:

"...and the Ten Thousand Islands in the East China Sea is also the most important place for our Immortal Sect disciples. It is a place where Jindan and even Foundation Builders have to travel."

"On the one hand, this is to kill the sea beasts released from the East China Sea Dragon Palace through special means and obtain promotion resources."

"On the other hand, and the most important thing is that each Immortal Sect disciple can wander around the Ten Thousand Spiritual Islands in the East China Sea to find a method that is beneficial to his own practice, and then according to the laws of the alliance, he can arbitrarily collect the methods that fit his own method on each island. The ancient monks knew Integrate the essence of consciousness into your own practice. When you return to the door, you can ask the ancestor of Yuanying, the god in the Tao, to give you guidance from a commanding perspective, and finally create a method that is completely consistent with yourself, so as to promote Yuanying and condense your expertise. Some realms..."

So the entire East China Sea Islands itself is a place where Xianmen monks use their skills to gain experience?

Lin Chen couldn't help but have such an idea in his mind.

Xu Yuanyang also said at this moment:

"That's right, and our campaign against the Ten Realms of Hell this time is to travel to the islands in the East China Sea to catch and kill the evil cultivators hiding in them. Brother Lin can also take this opportunity to see the prosperity of the world of immortal cultivation in the East China Sea. …”

"Oh? Then there won't be accidental injuries during this process?" Lin Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Is the intelligence in the alliance so accurate that it can accurately identify the location and identity of every evil cultivator?"

"Thinking too much, if those guys in the Anbu have these abilities, how can our secret forces not be able to fight against the Demon Sect?" Song Jingxuan sneered, with a somewhat sarcastic tone, "And in this war, the reason why we will definitely not If you get the wrong target, that’s because the senior leaders in the alliance will definitely use the secret fishing method in this battle to uncover all the hidden evil cultivators..."

"Tianji fishing?" Lin Chen was suddenly startled, but asked calmly on his face, "What is this method? Why have we never heard of it?"

"This is a secret belonging to the top level of the alliance. Not to mention that Brother Lin's previous identity was just a casual cultivator. Even this boy named Xu is not qualified to know. This is a secret that at least the top level of Daozi can know..." Song Jingxuan chuckled lightly, looking at Lin Chen's indifferent expression, "Don't fellow Taoists want to know what its function is?"

"This is a secret in the alliance. Knowing too much may not be a good thing." Lin Chen chuckled lightly, with no abnormality in his expression or movements. "Besides, this method is only for people with evil ways. We are upright and are not afraid of shadows. , what is there to be afraid of?”

"That's it..."

Song Jingxuan took a deep look at Lin Chen.

Just as the other party had guessed, he was not a reckless man with a brain problem at all. His previous behavior was just to pretend to be crazy and act stupid, stealing the secrets of all the sects of the world in order to achieve his own success.

Logically speaking, at their level, each of them is an outlier among monks. What makes them successful is not only their own talent, but also the support of the Immortal Alliance with millions of years of experience behind them.

But this casual cultivator who became enlightened in the outer realm can give him the feeling of meeting an opponent of the same level. His identity is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, but there are no flaws in the alliance, and there are always even intentional or unintentional ones. Ignoring the anomaly... Is it a coincidence or man-made?

While the three of them were communicating secretly, the meeting at the top was already in its second half, involving specific battle matters.

"... According to the original plan, the Golden Elixir from Ten Thousand Islands in the East China Sea was summoned, the top geniuses among them were selected, and then the resources were prioritized so that they could achieve the Nascent Soul by harvesting the Ten Paths of Hell during the war."

"But due to the unexpected incident on Penglai Island, we can only start the war in advance. However, there is no competition to determine the ranking, and there is no way to distinguish between superior and inferior. Naturally, we cannot determine the priority of the monk teams sent to each island in this war. , it is easy to lead to internal conflicts and cause disaster.

"If a single Jindan leads the team, it is impossible for the alliance to draw tens of thousands of fleets to cooperate, which will distract its own strength. And if tens of thousands of Jindan fight independently, it will need at least several foundation-building monks. Along with this, Penglai Island and Wolong Customs can still ensure that their defense is not lost even after they have no way to mobilize 100,000 foundation-building monks..."

Taoist Master Shenxiao said slowly at the end:

"I don't know if any of the geniuses in the alliance have suggestions. Please put them forward. I will definitely reward you!"

As soon as this topic was brought up, there was an instant buzz in the floating island, and the exchange of spiritual consciousness became very intensive, and you could see the fluctuations in the air. It was obvious that the cultivators were surprised by this topic.

But it’s not surprising. The Penglai Island Golden Elixir event was originally scheduled to distinguish the strong from the weak, and the most capable would prevail, and ultimately determine the positions of commanders, generals, and officers in this war... After all, obeying the strong, this method The eternal truth of the world.

But now, due to the hasty start of the war, there is no distinction between the strengths and weaknesses of each other, and the identities are not prioritized. How can we ensure that we can obey the orders of one person during the war?

You must know that in a life-and-death battle, if you don't have enough strength and ability to take the leading position, it will not only kill you, but also the entire team.

So in this case, how to arrange identities, who listens to whom... this is an unavoidable problem.

In fact, the best way is to fight independently, but the territory of the East China Sea is too vast. In addition to the ten thousand islands, there are also various islands dotted with stars, as well as hundreds of millions of miles of sea territory.

If these golden elixir monks are scattered and defeated by each of the ten realms of hell, even if they can finally win the war, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses. This is something that the higher-ups in the alliance are not willing to see.

Therefore, the best way is to form a team of hundreds of Jindan monks who fight for each other. Even if it happens again, there must be at least a few foundation builders. When in danger, they can unite to form a formation to resist and wait for support.

But if you really want to do this, you will have to remove at least a hundred thousand monks, which will lead to a certain degree of defense emptiness in Wolong Customs on Penglai Island. By then, if there is any change in the East China Sea Dragon Palace and the four demons lurking in the East China Sea... …

The discussions among the monks who wanted to understand this gradually began to subside. At this moment, Song Jingxuan seemed to notice something and tilted his head slightly:

"Fellow Daoist Lin seems to have an idea?"
