Yuanjun's document provides a very detailed analysis, essentially distinguishing between Dao Immortal and Human Immortal from the perspective of an immortal.
Dao Immortal indeed possess many more qualities than Human Immortal.
Although both are conceptual entities, Dao Immortal are a combination of individual will and the Great Dao of the world; they are an integrated and inseparable product.
However, the Human Immortal is merely a sublimated structure of individual will, and it has nothing to do with any kind of Great Dao.
The difference between the two is like that between a big tree and a stick.
One is rooted in the world, able to absorb nourishment from the outside world and continue to grow, while the other is isolated from the outside world and seems to have no way to continue developing.
To put it simply, if we consider Dao Immortal and Human Immortal as entrepreneurs, then Dao Immortal have powerful backers and bring their own capital into the business, having sufficient funds from the start. Human Immortal, on the other hand, come in completely empty-handed, with nothing to their name.
Fortunately, Li Xingkong had the support of the Jade Void Palace, making him a bit stronger than ordinary Human Immortal. However, without income, he could never compare to Dao Immortal at the start.
While Li Xingkong was reading the literature, the system was also reading it.
After reading it, the system seemed to look at Li Xingkong with a hint of pity.
"Hey, what kind of look is that?"
How could Li Xingkong not notice the system's gaze?
"It's nothing, I just feel like I got on the wrong bus."
The system sighed and said in a deliberately affected tone.
"The insect-quenched one is a red egg! It's not too late to jump off the train if you want."
Li Xingkong grabbed the system and gave it a high-frequency oscillation.
"Just kidding, we're in this together, how could I possibly jump out of the car!"
The system, so shocked that its face was no longer recognizable, hurriedly begged for mercy, and only then did Li Xingkong release it.
The already dizzy system spun around several times before landing on the ground.
"But Yuanjun's analysis is indeed true; compared to Dao Immortal and Spirit Immortal, Human Immortal do have many inherent shortcomings."
After a long pause, the system finally floated up again.
"Indeed, the path to becoming Human Immortal is long and arduous."
Even Li Xingkong couldn't help but sigh a few times.
"After Human Immortal, is there truly still a path to follow?"
The system was still spouting discouraging remarks.
No wonder, the fact that Yuanjun's manuscript is here means that Yuanjun also had the idea of exploring the path to Human Immortal, but the path to Human Immortal is still like this, which can only mean that Yuanjun's exploration on this path has also been interrupted.
That was Yuanjun, its creator.
Even Yuanjun couldn't figure it out, so the system didn't think Li Xingkong could either.
The road is right under my feet; how far I can go depends on how far I've already gone.
Although Li Xingkong also felt that the hope was slim, he had cultivated all the way to this point with great difficulty, and he was by no means someone who would give up easily.
Even if everyone thinks a road is impossible, he will still measure its length and width.
"That's true, so where do you plan to take this step?"
It's not that the system deliberately wanted to suppress Li Xingkong; it's just that both of these guys are extremely pragmatic, and things like a sense of ritual or destiny are really hard to apply to Li Xingkong.
The most useful thing is to come up with a feasible solution as soon as possible.
What do you think?
Li Xingkong to hear the system's opinion.
"After analyzing so much research data, 70% of researchers studying Human Immortal tend to prioritize improving their own abilities first."
It might not be very good at letting the system make its own decisions, but it excels at analyzing data.
"Using the Dao Immortal as a template, one can supplement oneself with the rules to become Pseudo-Dao Immortal, and then one can Dao Immortal."
"If you ask me, I also think this step is feasible. After all, there are new things that one will come into contact with after becoming an immortal, such as Immortal Power and Immortal Seat, which are difficult to come into contact with without becoming an immortal. This may be the direction of development for Human Immortal."
"First become an immortal, then find the rules to merge with."
"According to this document, Human Immortal have already gone quite far down this path, such as the Queen Mother of the West, who governs all female immortals."
The approach suggested by the system is indeed a good option.
If one can figure out the rules of Immortal Seat, wouldn't it be possible to become an immortal above immortals? That seems like a good path.
Li Xingkong shook his head and slapped himself.
How dare you dream such a pipe dream?
If one can truly understand the Immortal Seat, can one's vision and knowledge be limited by mere cultivation level?
How could that be?
However, the approach summarized by the system analysis does have its merits.
First, Human Immortal, then from the perspective of an immortal, one seeks and merges with a path previously inaccessible to others, ultimately achieving the status of Dao Immortal. It seems there's nothing impossible about this.
It's like going in circles; others find the key before entering, while Human Immortal enter first and then look for the key.
But will this fusion with the Great Dao truly make him the same as Dao Immortal? Li Xingkong couldn't guarantee that.
After all, the order of things can be quite important at times.
"How about we take this route too?"
Seeing that Li Xingkong remained silent for a long time, the system asked.
"This route is indeed feasible, but..."
Although Li Xingkong didn't say anything, he had already thought of many things.
If this path truly leads from Human Immortal to Dao Immortal, then Yuanjun wouldn't have allowed him to continue researching the Human Immortal path.
Now that Yuanjun has clearly told him to continue exploring the path of Human Immortal, it means that this path is probably not as smooth as he imagined.
I have a new idea I'd like to try.
Li Xingkong secretly noted down this path, which could serve as a backup plan. However, now that he had a new idea, he decided to try it out first.
Let's talk about it after we really hit a wall.
"What new idea? Isn't this path good? If it works, then you can directly become Dao Immortal!"
Li Xingkong narrowed his eyes.
"System, do you know the difference between a desktop computer and a laptop?"
"Why ask that? That's ancient stuff from so long ago."
The system was taken aback by Li Xingkong's sudden question.
"What's the difference? Desktop computers are assembled by yourself, and their functionality and computing power depend entirely on the components you choose. Laptops are all-in-one, offering less freedom of choice, but they are very portable. Each has its advantages, don't they?"
"But if you ask me, if you have the means, you should still go for a desktop. Laptops, after all, have their limitations."
A faint smile appeared on Li Xingkong's lips.
"Yeah, if you can afford it, go for a desktop PC. Look at my current cultivation level as Human Immortal, doesn't it resemble a motherboard?"
"You mean..."
The system wasn't stupid; it naturally understood Li Xingkong's point.
"You want to use yourself as the motherboard and various concepts of the Great Dao as modules to piece together a complete 'immortal'?"
Judging from Li Xingkong's analogy, his idea is indeed very bold.
