I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Three thousand years ago.

Kunling Mountain.

Yao grass and exotic flowers are blooming, the pines and bamboos are evergreen all year round, the pavilions and pavilions are hidden by white clouds... It is like a blessed land of immortals, a scene of caves on the ground and heaven.

In the center of Kunling Mountain, where the spiritual energy is most abundant, two Taoists are playing chess.

One has an extremely handsome face and an ethereal aura, with a dreamlike feeling, as if he will be gone with the wind in the next moment.

The other figure is wearing a plain Taoist robe embroidered with clouds and smoke. His breath is ordinary and ordinary, but it is vaguely harmonious and perfectly integrated with the surrounding heaven and earth. There is a correspondence between heaven and earth between his breath, and his every move and every move is accompanied by great strength.

The former is Mengxian, the leader of Nanhua Dream Sect.

The latter is Taixuan, the leader of the contemporary Immortal Alliance.

"Congratulations to Fellow Taoist Taixuan." Mengxian casually made a move at this moment and said with a faint smile, "After Jian Lao retired, the Immortal Alliance was completely handed over to fellow Taoist. Now in the whole world, fellow Taoist is well-deserved. The leader of the Immortal Alliance, the best in the world, the master of the spiritual world!"

"You are so polite, fellow Taoist Mengxian. I have only been the leader of the alliance for a short time, and my own strength and prestige are not enough. I still need a lot of support from my colleagues." Taoist Taixuan smiled slightly, picked up a piece of wine and put it down, with a smile on his face. No one can see any inner turmoil.

"The leader is humble..."

Having said this, Mengxian took a deep look at Taoist Taixuan, and a rare hint of fear flashed through his eyes:

"Having the power to affect time and space, based on this alone, neither we nor the devil can be the opponent of the alliance leader in this life."

"Oh? I wonder why fellow Taoist Mengxian said this?" Taoist Taixuan casually picked up the cup of spiritual tea at hand and took a sip, with no trace of expression on his indifferent face.

"Leader, don't you think that your experience of rising up is too mysterious?" Mengxian asked, "He entered the Taiyi Xuanmen with his heavenly spiritual roots, achieved the position of Heavenly Lord in a thousand years, and logically took over as the leader of the Immortal Alliance. Position, and in this process, several fellow Taoists had no objections, allowing a person with no record to ascend to the position of the leader of the Immortal Alliance... This kind of experience is a bit too mysterious, right? "

"I have searched for the records of the entire Immortal Alliance, but there is no record related to fellow Taoists, not even a trace. And hundreds of millions of creatures in this world, including our fellow Tianzun, have no memories related to it. On the contrary, It is a matter of course that Dao You achieves the position of leader, and there is no doubt... There are only two possibilities to achieve this. "

Speaking of this, Mengxian's eyes were dark:

"The first is to tamper with reality through dreams, modifying the memory and cognition of hundreds of millions of living beings in this world, including even our fellow Heavenly Lords. But this requires going to an extremely deep level on the path of dreams, and this, let alone me , even the devil can’t do it.”

"The second is that the leader not only has practiced for thousands of years, but also made a great name in this world. He suppressed all of us and successfully ascended to the position of the leader of the Immortal Alliance. However, this history has been tampered with. It’s gone, or rather, erased…”

Taoist Taixuan listened quietly, and then asked calmly:

"In that case, what kind of Tao do you think this Tao is?"

"When Taiyin was possessed, I went deep into the dream and looked back into the past. I thought it was the first type. But in the dream of the Dead River Cult, I unexpectedly observed a reality, that is, the history of the past... indeed has different The place of coordination.”

"The birth history of the alliance leader seems to have been completely erased. The time when he entered Taiyi Xuanmen cannot be found in the reflection of time in the dream, and the timeline related to fellow Taoists is also missing from the shadow of the past... "

"It seems that fellow Taoist Mengxian is not here to congratulate you today..." Taoist Taixuan listened quietly to Mengxian's words, and said calmly, "I wonder what you mean?"

"I just want to ask, since the alliance leader can tamper with history in order to erase his own experience, and even affect the past... Then why didn't he tell us the reason why Taiyin became possessed, why didn't he save him, and then Why have you kept hiding this matter? Is there something unspeakable, or..." At this point, Mengxian paused, looked at Taoist Taixuan, and asked word by word, "Is this matter related to the alliance leader? ?”

Taoist Taixuan heard this question and did not reply immediately. Instead, after being stunned for a long time, he suddenly asked a strange question:

"Fellow Mengxian, do you think it is possible for us to go back to the past?"

"Go back to the past?" Mengxian frowned when he heard this. He didn't understand why Taixuan Taoist suddenly raised this question, but it didn't matter. He responded because he had the patience and could afford to wait. "Going back to the past is not impossible. Perhaps, the legendary Hedao and even Da Luo monks can reverse the long river of time and go back to the past... But this process is almost impossible for us to do. After all, any magical power needs to be used. Reiki requires energy.”

"The energy required to reverse time and space like this is far beyond our imagination. After all, energy is conserved. Therefore, if you want to truly reverse the flow of time, it may be difficult for even the Hedao Daluo monks to do it... "

"Indeed, energy is conserved, and spiritual energy is also conserved. To reverse the long river of time and space, the energy required is far beyond our imagination." Taixuan Taoist nodded slightly, but then asked, "But why do fellow Taoists think that we are returning Go to the past and need to reverse time?”

"Huh?!" Mengxian frowned deeply when he heard this, "What does the leader mean by this? If you want to go back to the past, don't you have to go upstream on the long river of time?"

"Yes, that's what this Tao means." Taoist Taixuan looked normal, "Why do fellow Taoists think that the form of time is a river?"

"We have always felt that time is like a river, rushing forward endlessly. But have you ever considered a possibility?"

"Time is not an endless river, but an endless sea. It has no beginning and end, source and end, and it does not even have a normal sequence."

"Maybe time is not a one-dimensional river, but a two-dimensional sea!"

"This..." Hearing this conjecture, even Mengxian Taoist was instantly shocked. His face showed a look of uncertainty. After being stunned for a long time, he suddenly discovered a huge loophole. "No, no, according to what you said, time has no order at all."

"So if we are playing chess here now, the next second we may go back to yesterday, and the next second we may go two thousand years later. Then wouldn't we fall into infinite chaos?!"

Taoist Taixuan said calmly:

"Fellow Taoists should also know that the purpose of our monks' cultivation is to obtain a little bit of true spiritual light and move with the world. In the final analysis, this requires us to evolve together with the heaven and earth, adapt to the ever-changing laws of this world, and pursue the pursuit of something in the world. of longevity.”

"Fellow Taoists should also know that in ancient times, even mortals were eight hundred years old. But times have changed, and millions of years have passed, and it is difficult for mortals to survive even a hundred years. The reason for this is because of the personality of heaven and earth. If it declines, it will not be able to carry more mortal life."

"Another example is that after millions of years, the East China Sea Dragon Palace is still suffering from the continuous degradation of blood, the quality of the monks' spiritual roots is getting lower and lower, and the rare treasures that can be seen everywhere in ancient times are difficult to hear in modern times... The bottom line is, Because the status of the heaven and earth has declined, and the creatures in it have to evolve accordingly in order to survive, no longer the mysterious things they used to be.”

"Then why do we only consider the evolution of living beings in the spatial dimension, but never consider its evolution in the time dimension?"

Mengxian's hand that raised the spirit tea couldn't help but pause in the air. He felt that his expression at this time was like a young man who had just entered the immortal gate and was surprised when he heard that his predecessors had opened the door to the dream path for him.

Taoist Taixuan paused and continued:

"And this evolution, perhaps like time, is not at the level of reality that we can observe, but at the level of consciousness. It evolves from the evolution of living beings in the space dimension, and in terms of consciousness, it also gives us unprecedented huge changes. change."

He paused and continued:

"Suppose that time is chaotic, or disordered. Under such a time dimension, the first point may be the moment when the world first opened, and the next point is the moment of the destruction of the world. Such changes in time are of great significance to us. For any living being, there is no possibility of survival."

"In order to survive, our ancestors must evolve the ability to sort time, or the ability to sort time in a way that is beneficial to themselves, in order to support our evolutionary process."

"That is the moment when the chaos of heaven and earth first opens and the creatures in the world are born. The first intelligent species must give themselves the ability to enter the next second in our current sense and the next second. The evolution of creatures in space Only then can we continue!”

"Time itself may not be a river, but in our thinking, it must be a river, because this can ensure the survival of our consciousness and even matter!"

"Then...then what does this have to do with going back to the past?" Mengxian seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing, questioning, "And if you go back to the past and kill your own grandparents, then you How could it be born? Isn’t this a paradox?”

"Fellow Taoist, don't you understand?" Taixuan Taoist laughed at this moment, "Time is an endless sea, not a surging river, so if we want to go back to the past, what we need is not a countercurrent."

"One-dimensional space has only one line, but two-dimensional space can have countless lines. And as long as you go back to the past you want, the history you have tampered with, the creatures you have changed, and the consequences of all this, then For you, isn’t it the future you want?”

"this……"

Mengxian couldn't understand what Taoist Taixuan said for a moment.

After all, time and space are the most mysterious avenues for this world. Throughout the ages, not many people have been able to understand it, and even if it is placed in front of them, they may not be able to understand it.

But before he had time to think clearly, Taoist Taixuan said again:

"Fellow Mengxian, let's make another assumption. Assume that in a secret room, there is a person and a talisman of ours."

"The moment the door is opened, the talisman will be activated. There is a half chance of killing the person, and a half chance of letting the person survive. We don't know whether the talisman is activated. So, I would like to ask my friend , if we open the door to the secret room, will we see a living person or a dead person? "

"Each one has a half chance..." Mengxian couldn't understand why Taoist Taixuan's mind jumped so fast, but after thinking about it for a moment, he replied, "Then it's impossible to be sure, because each one has a half chance. During the investigation, we have no idea whether the people inside are alive or dead..."

"No, there is actually a third possibility." Taoist Taixuan shook his head at this moment. "That is the moment when the door is opened and the situation is not sensed, that is, the moment when it is not observed. It’s a state of both life and death.”

"What kind of joke are you kidding, leader? How can a person be alive and dead at the same time?!" Mengxian frowned deeply at this moment, "And what does this have to do with Taiyin becoming a demon?!"

"Of course, there are several issues involved." Taoist Taixuan said calmly.

"What's the problem?" Mengxian asked.

Taoist Taixuan's face became solemn at this moment, and he was silent for a long time before slowly saying:

"The essence of time may be an endless ocean, and its essence is disordered and chaotic. So, what is the universe based on time and space like?"

"The thinking of our life has evolved into a river in the time dimension, so what is above the source, and does this river have an end? In that time that cannot be measured, the end of everything is waiting What is it about us?"

"besides……"

Speaking of this, for some reason, Mengxian suddenly saw a kind of loneliness, a kind of sadness, and a kind of despair that penetrated into the bones of Taoist Taixuan.

This feeling was so real and so strong that it made his tempered soul feel a kind of sadness from the heart.

But this feeling came and went quickly, disappearing in an instant, like an illusion.

"Tai Xuan, what do you mean? What do these questions mean?"

Mengxian couldn't help but call him by his name at this moment.

Taoist Taixuan was silent for a moment and then said:

"If we could think clearly about this, the ancient monks would not have followed the immortals..."

Ancient monk? !

Hearing these words, Mengxian's expression suddenly changed. He stood up suddenly and stared at Taoist Taixuan:

"Tai Xuan, what do you mean?! And why do you know the deepest secret of ancient times?!"

The mystery of the disappearance of the ancient monks is the most unsolvable mystery in this world.

No one can understand why those ancient monks who conquered the heavens, ascended to the immortal world, and even touched the legendary Da Luo level completely disappeared, so that there was no news of their millions coming back.

I originally thought it was a secret that could never be solved in the history of the years, but now it seems... Taoist Taixuan seems to know about this? !

The latter fell silent at this time and did not speak for a long time. Even though Mengxian kept staring at him, he did not say a word.

The atmosphere in the venue became extremely solemn for a while, until a spiritual light flew from the outside and manifested a line of writing in the air:

"There are changes in the Dead River, please come back quickly!"

This is the spiritual message of the Nanhua Dream Sect.

When Mengxian saw this line of handwriting, he was silent for a moment and looked deeply at Taoist Taixuan.

With the opponent's strength, if he doesn't want to say it, no one in this world can force him.

"I'm waiting for the day when the leader will tell the truth."

"Fellow Taoist will not want to know the truth, he will... die."

"If I had chosen to live an ignorant life, I would not have reached this day. If I heard the Tao in the morning, I could die in the evening. As monks, why should we fear death in order to seek the Tao?

Mengxian replied coldly and his entire body disappeared in the wind.

But just when he was about to leave, a voice sounded in his ear:

"Also, fellow Taoist Mengxian, there is actually another possibility for the person in the room. That is that he was actually dead long ago, but it was only at that moment that the door was opened, that is, at that insignificant moment. At that time, everyone might even think that..."

"I'm still alive." (End of chapter)
