Enter the Immortal Cultivation

There are not many civilizations like the human race that have almost reinvented a symbol system to describe their own skills.

Most civilizations use natural language plus the direct transmission of non-declarative memory, that is, "true meaning inheritance" as a way to describe their own skills.

True meaning inheritance is convenient, but it also severely limits the understanding of learners. Although non-declarative memory can be very accurate, in many cases, learners can only know the results but not the reasons. Even if they want to change, they don't know where to start. They must spend a longer time to practice repeatedly, rely on comprehension and training, and adapt the content of the true meaning inheritance to themselves.

The problem of natural language is even greater. Natural language itself has the problem of unclear word boundaries and inaccurate meaning transmission.

And if it involves different code words of different sects, or the unique blackening in certain circles, or even the personal accent of the founder of a certain method, it will aggravate the degree of confusion.

This kind of thing is not without benefits. At least, it does encrypt the skills to a certain extent.

But at the same time, it also limits the spread of the skills and academic exchanges between monks.

However, higher-level civilizations can use this to study lower-level and more backward civilizations.

The beauty gods are the best among them. They can reversely infer the worldview and culture of a certain civilization from the description of the skills of the civilization, and then infer the physiological characteristics that the civilization may have based on this culture.

This research method, of course, cannot directly understand all aspects of a civilization by just looking at a skill. But this kind of skill research can provide a fatal direction for other research.

Combined with the research on the aborigines' bodies and the direct research on the aborigines' culture, a lot of things can basically be inferred.

Moreover, what Wang Qi could not understand a little bit was...

This was actually stuffed into the language proficiency gift package given by the beauty god "Ruan".

——It seems that the group of cosmic literary youths think that understanding the culture of other civilizations is also a necessary part of "proficiency in language".

Of course, Ruan did not directly give all the achievements of the beauty gods to him. Wang Qi felt that the part of the "Language-savvy" spell entity about "inferring civilization from the practice" would at most allow him to reach the level of "relevant field enthusiast" among the gods of beauty.

He was not even an "amateur researcher".

However, in most cases, it was definitely enough.

It should be said that as long as the surrounding environment was not a civilization like Tianyang-Yangyuan, which was covered by the forty-nine imitations of the Tianjuan descendants and whose practice was completely different from the outside world, this deduction method was useful in most cases.

This might be the most attentive thing Wang Qi had learned in recent days. At least on the surface, he asked questions to Likota Zhouhuan with a very respectful attitude in the Ming culture.

Wang Qi found alternative electromagnetic wave frequency bands and shapes for the terms commonly used in the Yuanying method one by one.

"I see..."

"They know about foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, spirit division, fusion, Mahayana, but they don't know the concept before Qi training, and the word describing 'fusion' has nothing to do with 'refining', 'body' and the like..."

The Ming clan has no concept of Qi training, and I'm afraid their clan is born with a certain amount of magic power. This situation is more common in those creatures that live in extremely high spiritual environments, such as the Tianjuan descendants, the Fire People and the Hill People, who have stronger bodies.

For the former, this innate magic power is the result of artificial selection for hundreds of millions of years. For the latter two, creatures without this innate magic power will die before they are born.

The Fire People who clearly know the concept of "Qi Refining Period" and have created precise terms in their own language to describe it are relatively rare. They either have a more fundamental breakthrough in immortal technology, or have contact with the Earth People and Wind People nearby.

——But to be honest, this kind of "contact" is a disaster in most cases.

The True Flame God is the best example. The living conditions of the Fire People are too extreme. If a Fire People can cross the sea of ​​stars and survive effortlessly in non-extreme environments, then just standing on [or "floating" on] the surface of a rocky planet, the heat radiation from his body can change the planet's atmospheric circulation and permanently change the terrain.

"It seems that, in other words, there has never been life on the surface of this planet, and the tragic situation on the surface of the planet is not the result of a battle between immortals - this group of Fire People will not have a high military strength."

The concept of "fusion period" should be able to reflect other information.

Wang Qi asked Rikota again: [What is (**)? What does it mean? How to explain it? ]

(**) is what Wang Qi said simply by imitating electromagnetic waves without understanding the meaning of the word. It should refer to the realm of "above the Divine Stage, below the Mahayana Stage, and the human race calls it the Fusion Stage".

…………………………………………………………

"Brilliant Stage?" For a moment, Rikota felt a little absurd.

I am only in the Spirit Severing Stage, and the one in front of me is also a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, and a low-grade Nascent Soul with no hope of advancement.

Isn't it a little... ridiculous for two people to discuss "what is the 'Glorious Stage'"?

However, looking at the undisguised desire for knowledge of the ascetic monk in front of him, the judge still felt a little soft-hearted.

"The Brilliant Stage... The Brilliant Stage... The Brilliant Stage is a stage of preparation for the Mahayana Stage." Likota chanted in a low voice: "We come from the glory of light, and we will eventually return to the light, become the light, and illuminate all living beings. That is our final destination."

"And the Brilliant Stage is a kind of transformation. It symbolizes the change from 'completely asking for light' to 'dedication'. The monks in the Brilliant Stage can reflect others and have some characteristics of light."

At this time, Walup Qiqu suddenly raised a question: "Isn't light a place that only Mahayana monks can go to after taking the next step?"

At that moment, Likota Zhouhuan felt that the sky was falling and the earth was cracking, and everything was upside down.

——Light... This idiot has forgotten too much!

——Chief Judge, when we teach them to speak, we should also teach them doctrines...

…………………………………………………………

——Ah?

Wang Qi was also stunned.

Before this, he thought that the [light] in the Ming tribe's spectral language was the description of the word "immortal heaven" in their culture.

It was not until the female told him that all Ming people were "from [light]" that he realized that his understanding had some essential deviation.

It seems...

"Doesn't that word refer to 'somewhere'? In their beliefs, is this a metaphysical concept?"

Wang Qi was also stunned.

This planet undoubtedly has a gate to the immortal road. Because there are no satellites, the gate to the immortal road is anchored near the core of the earth by the gravity of the celestial body. If there are creatures on the surface of this planet who ascend to immortality, then he will not be "ascending", but "sinking into the ground".

Of course, this "phenomenon" is still "ascending" in the language of the human race.

"That's right... I can feel the kind of hidden, completely closed warping that is unique to the Immortal Road Cave Heaven." Wang Qi thought: "There is indeed a gate to the Immortal Road here."

If there is no gate to the Immortal Road here, it would be a real "great discovery";-this means that the function of the Immortal Road has deteriorated to a certain extent, and the basic functions cannot be realized. Everyone should quickly study the long-range super-light speed escape method!

Really, if there is no trace of the existence of the Immortal Road Cave Heaven in this world, then Wang Qi will definitely not say anything, just grab tens of thousands of Ming people as specimens, and then go to another place, pick up all relatives and friends, and then immediately return to Shenzhou, and from then on, he will be a thigh pendant of His Majesty the Dragon Emperor, and will never leave the dragon clan's sphere of influence before the human race develops a practical super-light speed escape method.

But there is indeed a gate to the Immortal Road Cave Heaven here.

Wang Qi suddenly thought of another possibility.

"I say, these stupid light bubbles, can't they be...ah, misunderstood?"

They themselves cannot sense the existence of the gate to the immortal cave heaven, so they think that those cultivators have returned to the light.

After all, their tribe had never seen the starry sky, and they firmly believed that space was limited, so they had no concept of "heavenly palaces" or "kingdom of gods". They themselves were similar to spiritual beings, with souls and "bodies" mixed together, and there was no concept of the separation of soul and flesh - this was deeply reflected in the term "divide the spirit" in the Ming language and its description.

So, they might have mistakenly regarded ascension as...

"belonging to... that."

Wang Qi did not decipher the word "light", so he naturally could not pronounce it.

"Fuck, then this tribe's worldview is a bit weird! In their view, cultivation is not for longevity, but for..." Wang Qi thought for a moment: "To extend the life of this planet?"

Today, Wang Qi, on the contrary, feels that this outlook on life is a bit difficult to understand.

Only the remnant of his memory as an "earthling" made him realize that this feeling of "life is limited, so live brilliantly" is very important for individuals with limited lives.

- So, the culture of "only the living can hear the great way" has indeed had a profound impact on me.

This thought flashed through Wang Qi's mind.

At the same time, he also realized another point.

The cultivation method of this clan may have some kind of... deviation?

The Yuanying method was created for the purpose of longevity. For the Great Sage of Heaven and Man, life that will wither due to congenital factors cannot be called life at all - it is just a design flaw.

And the cultivation of the Ming clan does not include the practice of "turning short life into long life"?
