Without the thirst for knowledge, can civilization continue to develop? That's a good question.
Based on Li Xingkong's current observations and understanding, those without a thirst for knowledge are nothing more than a bunch of animals.
The Great Dao that Yuanjun wields may not be the strongest in direct combat, but no one can say it is weak.
"Invincible? Well, that's not quite as exaggerated as it sounds..."
Although the system didn't know the specific details about the immortals, it had heard about the past stories of Yuanjun.
"For example, among the Demon Clan, there is a Dao Immortal who has mastered the Dao of Secrets. Any knowledge forgotten by the world will eventually flow into his hands. On the Witch Clan, there is also Dao Immortal who controls the Dao of Memory. It is because their Daos restrain each other that no single one has become dominant."
"Otherwise, we, the Jade Void Sect, could simply sweep them aside."
"The power of Dao Immortal is indeed formidable."
Li Xingkong suddenly felt that his Human Immortal wasn't so appealing after all.
"Alright, alright, the more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel. Let's calm down and take a look at this Human Immortal's thing."
Shaking his head, Li Xingkong dismissed those thoughts that were too far removed from his own, and looked at the torrent of information projected by the system.
Human Immortal have no control over these things, so they are far removed from human life and there's no point in envying them.
Moreover, with the Jade Void Palace above, even Dao Immortal cannot control those under its Jade Void Palace. For Li Xingkong now, neither Dao Immortal nor Spirit Immortal pose a threat to him.
Turning his gaze to the information about the Human Immortal sent by the system, Li Xingkong's mind was instantly overwhelmed by an endless stream of knowledge.
Fortunately, after Li Xingkong became Human Immortal, his computing power was limitless, and his brain's ability to process information also made a qualitative leap. Processing this amount of documents was just a piece of cake for him.

How to Successfully Borrow the Power of Dao Immortal
How to join the Jade Void Palace
The Path of Cultivation for Human Immortal
The documents compiled by predecessors came and went in Li Xingkong's mind, and Li Xingkong quickly absorbed and digested them.
Most of the documents were written by Human Immortal within the Jade Void Palace, but many were also compiled by wandering immortals from the outside world.
The sheer disorganization of this knowledge left Li Xingkong somewhat dumbfounded.
This was the first time he had ever known that joining the Jade Void Palace was so complicated. This book, "How to Join the Jade Void Palace," was so long that Li Xingkong felt an ordinary person couldn't finish reading it in a lifetime, and it explained in detail the Jade Void Palace's recruitment requirements.
The details were so detailed that even Li Xingkong was dumbfounded.
"Are you sure this was written by Human Immortal?"
Li Xingkong looked at the system.
"Of course, this guy is a well-known jade Primordial World."
The system glanced at what Li Xingkong was pointing to, saw the author's name, and immediately made a conclusion.
"Even with all that jade-like skill, and being Human Immortal, he still hasn't joined the Jade Void Palace? Are our recruitment criteria really that strict?"
"Strict? Don't forget how you got in here."
The system rolled its eyes at Li Xingkong.
That's true. He ascended directly from the microcosm and became a member of the Jade Void Palace. How strict could the conditions be?
"This guy isn't just talking about the Jade Void Palace; he's talking about his own imagined Jade Void Jade Void Palace. We've tried to recruit him before, but he only stayed for a few days before running away again, saying that we're not the Jade Void Palace he imagines."
"No way, they've become immortals, how can there still be people like this..."
Li Xingkong was dumbfounded.
"You'll understand if you knew what path he cultivates."
"What?"
"Simp."
"Puff"
Li Xingkong couldn't help but laugh out loud; do even simps have immortal status?
"This guy's path to immortality lies in flattery, and specifically, flattery of those he can't reach. After joining the Jade Void Palace, he realized he couldn't find a target, so he ran away on his own."
Treating the documents of this sycophantic immortal as a joke and discarding them, Li Xingkong had the system first categorize these endless documents.
Only literature related to cultivation and research was presented to Li Xingkong. It was better not to present him with such messy and nonsensical literature as just now, as it would pollute his brain.
After this filtering process, Li Xingkong suddenly realized that the information flow in front of him had been reduced by more than half.
Sure enough, even among immortals, only a minority were willing to continue devoting themselves to research.
Or rather, there are indeed very few immortals who have the resources to conduct research.
Aside from the Jade Void Palace, with its uninhibited internal practices that allow for a normal academic research atmosphere, the Human Immortal outside are exploited quite cruelly, barely able to live a happy life, let alone conduct academic research.
After the screening, the documents given to Li Xingkong were much more professional, and he was no longer as speechless as when he had reviewed them earlier.
After reading several papers, Li Xingkong noticed something strange.
Perhaps because of the methods displayed by Dao Immortal and Spirit Immortal, many Human Immortal are also turning their research towards the direction of domination.
If you can't govern the Great Dao, and you can't control certain objects with specific characteristics, then start by controlling things that are related to you personally.
From controlling one's own informational existence to establishing cults and spreading their fame, the ancient Human Immortal have used every possible method.
The reason why the Daoist Duobao, who was pushed to the forefront, promoted the Dao of Dharma Aspect Forms so vigorously was largely because his own Dao was related to Dharma Aspect.
Perhaps because there was no reference point in this Primordial World, and the direction of Human Immortal ' development remained unclear, they could only learn from the other two paths to immortality.
Exploring the path forward involves constantly groping among countless paths, extensively referencing the developmental patterns of other things, and then applying them to the path of Human Immortal.
If it applies, continue exploring; if it doesn't, then a wrong option has been eliminated.
After all, this is research. Even an immortal wouldn't know whether what lies beneath the Mist they're exploring is an impenetrable wall or a smooth path.
On the distinction between the Human Immortal and the Dao, and between the Spirit Immortal and the Dao, both being conceptual states
It was yet another book analyzing differences. Li Xingkong only glanced at it before deciding to read it later.
But that one glance made Li Xingkong pause.
The author is Primordial Lady Seeking the Dao, his master.
Well, I have no choice but to watch it now.
I can let other people's documents go, but I have to take a look at my own master's documents.
He pulled out the document, and after only glancing at it a few times, Li Xingkong sensed the grandeur of the Yuanjun.
Other people's research is either done by themselves or by a few immortals working together, and the main thing is that the funding is small, but Yuanjun's article is completely different.
There were over a hundred immortals who participated in the production of the documents.
Whether they are Human Immortal or Dao Immortal immortals, the participants include all sorts of people.
The research methods were incredibly detailed, almost to the point of dismembering an immortal and laying out each piece for explanation.
As expected of the Yuanjun, her skill is beyond what ordinary immortals can match.
