To study the Immortal Seat Immortal Seat, one must first understand what it is and be able to perceive Immortal Seat.
This is precisely the first major challenge in studying the Immortal Seat.
The Immortal Seat is elusive, invisible, and even a conceptual Immortal Seat being cannot observe it using conventional means. It seems to exist, yet it also seems not to exist; in its hazy state, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
It's like the blind men and the elephant, except the elephant is hidden in the jungle, while the blind men are still outside the forest.
There are no observation methods available to observe the Immortal Seat.
Even regarding his own Immortal Seat, Li Xingkong only knows that it exists, but has no way of perceiving how Immortal Seat actually exists.
Fortunately, there were a few notebooks found in the Jade Void Sect, which allowed Li Xingkong to study them first.
The ball of light before them contained only three books: " On the On the Origin of Heaven and Earth," "There is a Heaven Beyond Heaven," and "Information Theory."
The three notebooks were all different, and Li Xingkong quickly picked one out to read first.
"Hurry up, system, you should take a look at one too."
With such a powerful tool as the system to assist him, Li Xingkong naturally wanted to make good use of it.
"Then I'll read this book on information theory. It looks like it's written by a mathematician, so it'll probably be more logical."
The system didn't stand on ceremony and selected one from among them.
A new round of seclusion quietly began at this moment. There was no prior preparation, nor any mental turmoil. Just like that, Li Xingkong accepted the fact that he could not become Daluo Immortal and began to look for new methods.
Two hundred years passed in the blink of an eye. Li Xingkong turned to the last part of the document in his hand and sighed softly.
The book he chose was "There is a Heaven Beyond Heaven." He had never heard of the author's name before, but the fact that his work was listed here at least indicated that he had once been a member of the Jade Void Sect.
The author of this notebook believes that the cultivation of immortality may be related to dimensions, and that the physical entity of this Immortal Seat may exist in a higher dimension.
His manuscripts contain extensive deductions, using the world he lived in as a basis to begin deducing higher dimensions.
Li Xingkong also tried to observe higher dimensions based on the data he was given. It must be said that this person's deductive skills were very strong. Li Xingkong only applied a few layers of data and was able to observe more than three layers of dimensional worlds.
The problem is that even with a higher-dimensional perspective, Li Xingkong still couldn't detect any trace of the Immortal Seat.
Dimensional ascension is indeed a fundamental advancement for living beings, but what it pursues is different from what Li Xingkong wants.
If immortality is the unified goal of all life, then cultivating oneself to become an immortal is a direct means to achieve immortality, the shortest straight line between two points. Ascending to a higher dimension is like climbing the ladder of technology; although it is also a form of advancement, it is quite different from the goal of cultivation.
At the end of the document, the author also clearly stated his whereabouts.
He climbed towards a higher dimension, and at this moment, as Li Xingkong was reviewing his manuscript, he was probably already in some unreachable dimension, continuing his ascent.
For a species seeking to ascend to a higher dimension, this manuscript is a divine book, an unparalleled treasure.
However, for Li Xingkong, after seeing through its essence, it wasn't actually very useful to Li Xingkong.
Instead, it served as a reminder to Li Xingkong.
Yes, the Primordial World was already vast enough, but the world is not limited to just the Primordial World. There are also different dimensions, seemingly Xingkong, boundless Cosmic Sea, and many other strange and unknown realms.
Countless immortals, according to their different pursuits, went to different places.
Just like the author of "There is a Heaven Beyond Heaven," he embarked on a higher dimension early on with his own unique concept, and those who followed the same path as him had no hope of achieving the Daluo.
Because no one can find him.
The world is so big, finding someone is incredibly difficult.
"How's yours?"
Li Xingkong looked at the system; it should have almost finished studying its book by now.
"This guy is a madman."
The system shook its head, snapping out of its reverie about information theory.
He believed that the entire world was a computer, and we were all data within that computer. Everything we saw and experienced was illusory. Therefore, the ultimate goal of spiritual practice was to find truth within illusion, to find a way to escape the virtual world, and to return to our true origin.
"This guy thinks that the Immortal Seat is the physical hardware of our virtual world in the real world. Because it's real, it can remain indestructible through the constant rebirth of the Primordial World."
"That's really ridiculous. Do you think I don't know whether I'm real or fake?"
The system clearly scoffed at this.
"However, the fact that it's included in this knowledge base clearly indicates that it has its merits."
Li Xingkong somewhat agreed with this view.
Although it may not be a virtual world, and there may not be any computers running behind the scenes, its description of the Immortal Seat is quite realistic.
The world has been destroyed and rebuilt, but the Immortal Seat have remained unchanged since time immemorial. It is difficult to say who is real and who is fake.
Perhaps it was included because of its different understanding of the Immortal Seat.
"However, it must be said that although this guy is crazy, he did propose a way to observe the Immortal Seat."
The system continued.
"Oh? What method?"
Li Xingkong a little curious. If he could solve this problem, perhaps Li Xingkong could start to break through the puzzle.
"Find a concept, let different people use it to achieve immortality, and then continuously observe the immortals of this lineage to find clues."
"Isn't that nonsense? Once you become an immortal, who would still spout out concepts?"
Li Xingkong was speechless. If this were to be done, a considerable number of cultivators would have to volunteer as test subjects.
"So it was just an illusion, it didn't actually happen, after all, he didn't have the connections."
The system chuckled and sent the relevant original text to Li Xingkong.
After accepting it, Li Xingkong examined it carefully.
"Looking at the underlying principle, it's nothing more than trying to find Immortal Seat by constantly communicating with Immortal Seat and taking advantage of the moment when a cultivator gains Immortal Power."
"Therefore, it's not necessary to be different from other cultivators."
"It is possible for a person to repeatedly attain immortality and then relinquish it."
"That person isn't easy to find either; who would let you go through all this trouble?"
The system started complaining.
"If there's no one else, then I'll do it myself. Don't forget, I'm Human Immortal."
Li Xingkong chuckled.
If others dare not do more repairs, why wouldn't he?
There are plenty of new conceptual pillars to learn, so with my current level of cultivation, there's naturally no problem.
"It has to be you again, but don't break yourself."
The system thought about it and realized it was indeed true.
Li Xingkong's thought process has always been quite something.
