Chapter 179 Human Ancestor's "True Spirit"
Back to the previous topic, he needs to observe and think about the evolution of the paths of extraordinary individuals in this world.
Through this observation and comparison, to a certain extent, he can determine his ultimate goal. So, what will he compare to in order to be more similar to himself, immortals, monsters, or other upper races that he has never seen.
In this regard, he should thank his experience in his previous life for giving him a global perspective.
Although the details are a problem, he has a holistic worldview at present, and he has a vision that the native cultivators do not have.
First of all, immortals are the ultimate goal of the first stage of immortal cultivators.
Immortals are too different from him. Xu Qingyang has always believed that immortal cultivators are self-fertile innate life.
The higher level of the immortal realm can be skipped directly, because it is obvious that the road system before becoming an immortal is a complete closed loop. This can be intuitively judged from the name, which is called Mahayana. Before becoming an immortal, it is a whole, and after becoming an immortal, it is another major stage.
Xu Qingyang cannot benchmark immortals because he is on the acquired path.
The only thing that is valuable is what was said above, that is, to separate the immortals from those below the immortals, which is the division of two real life forms.
From this perspective, what he can learn from is that his current mortal 2.0 cannot be called 2.0, but 0.2. His first major stage, the ultimate life state of Mahayana, is 1.0.
He is now moving from "0" to the final "1".
With this understanding, this "1" cannot refer to the path of immortals first, so what about monsters, such as the legendary monster ancestors in the upper realm.
Xu Qingyang once used the life forms of the higher monsters to explain some definitions, but in fact, this definition can only be realized halfway in monsters, because the growth path of monsters, in the setting of this world, has actually become "demon immortals", and most of them no longer have the reference value of independent existence.
A monster wants to cultivate immortality, which can only prove that he has given up the promotion of life level.
According to Xu Qingyang's idea, the higher monsters should be promoted to their own levels like him, but unfortunately, not all of them are.
Among the demon race, there are two concepts, one of which mostly only provides some "elite" performances. For example, in the same level, dragons are stronger than ordinary demon beasts, but this powerful concept is "same level".
Similar to what was discussed before, dragons are only 2.3, 2.6 elite monsters in the demon race, and they are essentially 2.0 life.
They choose to "cultivate immortals", so they give up the route of upgrading from 2.0 to 3.0, 4.0, but are fixed at the level they are born at. They are said to be half, because some demon races are indeed higher than the benchmark 1.0, or even higher level of higher life.
If one day, Xu Qingyang reproduces descendants.
Then his descendants may be the concept of some higher demon beasts in the demon race.
They are higher human beings when they are born, but if they do not try to evolve their own level, then what level Xu Qingyang reproduced them at, they will always be at the same level from birth to death.
Therefore, the demon race does not have the value of complete reference.
Unless there is a certain innate demon race, his race level, the heavenly body is the highest stage of the closed loop below the immortal.
At present, Xu Qingyang does not know this information. There are many legends of the spirit world circulated in ancient times, but in all the legends, those demon ancestors seem to be not born, but "cultivated immortals", which can also be called "cultivated demons". The level of the original level may be very high, 4.0, 5.0, etc., but it definitely does not reach the upper limit of the closed loop below the immortal.
The only one with this upper limit, Xu Qingyang thought about it, is the legendary "true spirit".
The first generation of true spirits is the closest to his cognition of the concept of "born sacred". They are the top life forms born and raised, not obtained by cultivating immortals and demons.
If you want to refer to it, Xu Qingyang's current "1" can only refer to the top true spirits below the immortal.
If it is regarded as the ultimate goal of "1", then the system can be established, and it is imagined that he will eventually become a true spirit called "human".
So how can he achieve this goal step by step?
At this point, the idea came to him when he killed the Emperor Yue in Yuejing, that is, whether there are advanced human beings. Now, let's be more direct, whether there are top-level true spirits such as "human beings". If there are, then he is going against the innate and tracing back to the origin, because if there are innate true spirits at the first level, then the mortals now are likely to be their descendants.
If they are their descendants, then it is very simple.
There must be the inheritance of the other party in the blood of a person, just like the blood of those degenerated high-level demons. Some of them can have the possibility of advancing to the level of life through blood return.
The most representative one is the dragon.
Didn't the black dragon back then evolve from a low-level species to a higher-level species such as "dragon"?
Dragons are the creatures that Xu Qingyang has considered the most. They have a strong chance of "promotion", but generally speaking, they are like this in the low-level stage. After the so-called transformation in the later stage, most of them go astray. Most of the dragons recorded in the classics eventually become demon fairies. There are also some that can continue to promote during this period, but they no longer take the promotion of bloodline as the fundamental route, but only retain the talent in their race that is easy to promote.
Xu Qingyang judged that their race has inherited a special unique skill of "promotion of life level".
The name may be called Dragon Transformation Art, or something like that.
For a while, Xu Qingyang considered whether he could get this kind of skill from a high-level dragon cultivator. It must be of great value to him for reference.
But after thinking about it, he gave up.
The dragons with this kind of systematic skill will not be too bad. Other dragons have no wisdom and only evolve by instinct. Even if they bring a few back for research, it will be difficult to sort out specific skills in a short time.
It's not that it can't be done, but he can't grasp the time.
In a limited time, once he goes wrong, there is no chance to regret. He has to find more answers from the existing results.
Although he can't learn from the dragon skills, he can learn from the ideas.
If people also have true spirits, then the next thing to do is to find or purify the "true spirit blood" that must exist in the body. As long as this step is completed, the entire system framework will be demonstrated, and the way forward will be clearly presented to him. What he needs to do is to increase this blood. When it reaches a certain level, he can complete the backtracking and become a "true spirit" step by step.
If the human spirit does not exist, then he needs to change his goal.
That is, whether it exists or not, he must first set a goal for himself, even if it is just a concept that has never existed, he must have it.
After having the concept of this life form, he will move towards this goal.
