"Wait, no one even selects the pirated versions?"
Li Xingkong was stunned. This path wasn't exactly niche, and he hadn't even thought of it when he tried it himself? That shouldn't be the case.
"Hmm, do you want to try to recall how we made that choice back then?"
The system glanced at Li Xingkong.
Li Xingkong recalled for a moment, and the memory immediately surfaced in his mind.
"Should we try this pirated version again?"
Li Xingkong remembered that the system had asked him that question, and he recalled what he had said.
"Ready-made copies and clones won't work. Piracy will probably fall under the category of copying, so there's no need to go through the extra trouble."
Li Xingkong slapped his forehead.
However, while this path is possible, the latter path of self-expression is clearly more appealing to Li Xingkong than piracy.
The concept of self is difficult to cultivate. Everyone has a very clear understanding of themselves, and it is impossible to regard it as a simple concept.
Improving oneself is easy, but what about the next step? The next step is to start eroding the entire concept of self, and then it becomes impossible to continue.
The reason why Spirit Immortal can control the concept of an entire species is that what they control are either inanimate objects or new races they create. With fewer people and absolute control, they can successfully become Spirit Immortal.
The desire to expand one's own concept will inevitably lead to conflict with other immortals, and this path is destined to be short-lived.
However, on the other hand, does Li Xingkong need to cultivate this path to an extremely high level?
unnecessary.
He only needs to have a slight understanding of this path, to the point that he can control himself and not be disturbed by the great power of other Dao Immortal.
This doesn't require mastering anything profound; simply getting started on the path of self-discovery is enough to achieve it.
The reason why other immortals did not explore the path of self is for the sake of the purity of their concepts.
Leaving aside Dao Immortal and Spirit Immortal immortals, when they become immortals, they have already chosen their own path. Exploring this path has already occupied most of their mind and body, leaving them no time for other cultivations.
As for Human Immortal... apart from those within powerful factions who still have some freedom, independent Human Immortal Human Immortal are basically exploited to the point that they have no ability to conduct research.
Even among powerful forces, Human Immortal do the most work but receive the least food, and very few are able to make further progress in their cultivation.
Few people are like Li Xingkong, who from the very beginning did not intend to follow a single path, but rather to integrate multiple paths.
After comparing the two, Li Xingkong made up his mind and decided to choose the Dao of Self.
Firstly, the path of piracy is only recorded in the Jade Void Palace as being uncultivated, but the Primordial World is vast and boundless, and no one can guarantee that no one in other parts of the Primordial World has entered the path through this method.
It wasn't that Li Xingkong didn't believe the statistics from the Jade Void Palace, but rather that in an infinitely vast world, there were far too many uncertainties.
The Dao of Self is right before our eyes, one that no one has ever gone too far on. Starting with this path is clearly a safer bet.
Having finalized a preliminary plan, Li Xingkong enjoyed a few rare days of leisure.
After all, the Taiyi Heaven-Refining Art is still being deduced, and he has basically devoted all his computing power to it. Although his computing power is infinite after becoming an immortal, this is only in theory.
The waters of the Yangtze River are inexhaustible, yet they still flow along its course.
Although Li Xingkong's computing power is limitless, he still needs to ensure that the entire calculation process is under his control.
Cultivation also requires calculation power, and so does deduction. These things cannot be rushed; they can be kept in mind and carried out gradually.
Most of the work was in his head, while Li Xingkong.
Recently, fluctuations have been emanating from the place where Xiao Chongshan was in seclusion, indicating that he is about to embark on the path of immortality. Meanwhile, Guapilong has already emerged from seclusion and is playing with the creatures in the small world.
Li Xingkong granted it some editing rights to a small world, and within that world, it was like playing a real-life version of Minecraft, which it found quite enjoyable.
With no work to do, Li Xingkong was really finding it a bit strange.
So he picked up all the supernatural powers he had cultivated.
After becoming an immortal, all the previous methods become basically useless in the immortal realm.
Whether it's physical attacks, magical bombardments, or even attacks involving space, time, or the soul, none of them can land on the immortal.
Attacks between immortals are often clashes between different paths, a contest of understanding concepts.
Li Xingkong is picking up these supernatural abilities now simply to upgrade them.
Let's try to see how we can transform these supernatural powers and spells, using the perspective of an immortal.
For Li Xingkong, this was merely a form of entertainment.
With a casual flick of his wrist, a wisp of something flew out from Li Xingkong's body and floated right in front of him.
It is the Five Elements Divine Light, a supernatural power that has accompanied Li Xingkong for a long time.
This supernatural ability was extremely lethal and provided Li Xingkong with a great deal of strength during his Golden Core Stage. However, in Li Xingkong's eyes now, it was no longer enough.
Even a casual strike from Li Xingkong in his conceptual form is far more powerful than his original Divine Light.
Li Xingkong recalled that when he was cultivating, he had confused it with the legendary Five-Color Divine Light.
However, in Li Xingkong's view now, whether it's the Five Elements Divine Light or the Five-Color Divine Light, they are essentially applications of the Five Elements. From the perspective of an immortal, these two supernatural powers are actually quite similar.
With just a few touches, the Five Elements Divine Light in Li Xingkong's hand had changed its appearance.
It already possesses the power of the Five-Color Divine Light; all things in heaven and earth, possessing the five elements, can be directly swept into the Divine Light and trapped.
When Li Xingkong activated the Five Elements Divine Light that he had modified, he clearly felt the interaction of concepts.
He did not control the Five Elements. When he activated the Five Elements Divine Light, Li Xingkong saw that before the Divine Light light took shape, a conceptual flow of information flew towards the direction of the Jade Void Palace.
This is sending a request to the Dao Immortal who controls the Five Elements.
The request was quickly returned.
The Jade Void Jade Void Palace insignia on Li Xingkong's body was too conspicuous, so his request was naturally approved immediately.
With the approval of the Five Elements, the divine lights immediately shone Divine Light, and the shimmering five-colored orbs of light landed in Li Xingkong's hands.
As soon as he throws it, the spell can be activated immediately.
Li Xingkong looked at the towering, wondrous building in the small world, pointed his finger, and a beam of five-colored Divine Light enveloped the building.
When the Divine Light dissipated, the spectacle had vanished without a trace.
Instead, Li Xingkong ended up with a replica "model".
Many of the creatures in the model were still active, seemingly unaware that in just a moment, the world had changed.
