Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 190 Compressed Perception (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"what is this?"

"What kind of thing is in your sea of ​​consciousness?!"

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace used the Mysterious and Vague Cloud Technique to travel into Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness.

When one desires to possess another's body.

It was greeted by a completely different sea of ​​consciousness.

The sea of ​​consciousness was completely different from what it had anticipated.

Is there something wrong with my consciousness?

"Isn't this a normal sea of ​​consciousness?"

"If you are referring to the principle of balance between birth and death, isn't this what I'm talking about?"

Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness was occupied by four different states of mind: red, white, black, and blue.

Among them, the blue cloud sea sword intent was the strongest, occupying about 50% of the area.

Secondly, the red cloud sword intent accounted for 30%.

The remaining White Cloud Sword Intent and Black Cloud Sword Intent each accounted for one-tenth.

"Your sea of ​​consciousness is nothing but a ridiculous balance of birth and death."

"How exactly did you manage to blend these four artistic conceptions?"

"you tell me!"

"tell me!"

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace said somewhat exasperatedly.

It seemed as if it had encountered something beyond its imagination.

"Tell me what's wrong with it first."

"I'm considering whether or not to tell you."

"Don't worry, I won't be as stingy as you and take strict measures to keep knowledge confidential."

This statement is naturally half true and half false.

But Fang Jun did intend to assume that the information provided by the spirit of the Xuanming Palace was valid.

It wouldn't hurt to tell it a little bit.

There's clearly something wrong with your sea of ​​consciousness!

"Whose sea of ​​consciousness is like a dilapidated ruin, broken and tattered?"

"This is not normal, this is not normal."

"You're still alive, you can still think, that's not normal!"

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace grew increasingly anxious.

After it arrived in Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness, it did not immediately take action as it had said.

Instead, it kept dodging Fang Jun's attacks.

He just stared blankly at this sea of ​​consciousness.

He stared blankly at all of this.

"ruins?"

"I don't think it's ruins."

"I think it's perfect."

"Don't you think my soul and the four realms of conception have achieved perfect harmony?"

Fang Jun already had some ideas in mind, but he still continued to ask questions.

"The perfection of farts."

"Your current sea of ​​consciousness is outwardly beautiful but inwardly rotten."

"Like a sandcastle on the coast, it will melt away in an instant when it encounters the waves."

"Damn it, how did you manage to fuse like that?"

"The entire structure of the sea of ​​consciousness has undergone a change!"

"Damn it, damn it!"

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace grew increasingly anxious.

After entering Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness, its connection with the power of the Xuanming Palace was severed in many ways.

Their strength was less than one-tenth.

This was nothing.

As long as you have the power and momentum, you can seize the opportunity to possess Fang Jun.

But now we are faced with such a bizarre structure of the sea of ​​consciousness.

It had no idea where to begin.

At least the "Secret Record of the Supreme Spirit Seed Demon" that it studied did not describe how to possess someone's body in this situation.

"So, you can't possess me now?"

"So, can we consider a proper collaboration now?"

Fang Jun has never been one for fighting and killing; if cooperation can generate better benefits...

He can choose to put aside his hatred first.

If not.

That's the real apology.

"Heh, I don't believe you."

"What methods do you think you have to manipulate me when I give up resistance and reach an agreement?"

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace judges others by its own standards.

They believe that Fang Jun will not be able to let go of his hatred so easily.

They didn't believe Fang Jun's words at all.

"But if you neither surrender nor seize another's body, you will soon die."

Fang Jun said calmly.

As his sea of ​​consciousness, it is naturally his home turf.

Even though the sea of ​​consciousness is too important and must be treated with utmost care, it cannot be attacked recklessly.

However, the spirit of the Xuanming Palace had no follow-up power and was already at its last gasp.

Its large-scale presence was easily destroyed by Fang Jun.

What surprised Fang Jun was that even after destroying so many parts of the body...

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace is still able to maintain normal thinking.

Not only that, they can also use magic.

This proves that his attack still did not touch the mind structure of the spirit of the Xuanming Palace.

It turns out that the structure that sustains a person's consciousness can be so insignificant.

"No!"

"I won't die."

"Who says I can't possess others!"

"I was just observing. I'll show you how to possess someone right now!"

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace lunged forward, striking the core of the balance between the four sword intents.

This pounce stirred up towering waves.

The four unbalanced sword intents lashed fiercely at the spirit of the Xuanming Palace.

"Click, click, snap—!"

Its body immediately crumbled into pieces.

The rate of loss even surpassed Fang Jun's previous offensive.

"So that's all you're capable of."

Fang Jun said sarcastically.

But they dared not relax in the slightest.

He didn't believe that the spirit of the Xuanming Palace was unaware of the consequences of breaking the balance of sword intent.

Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness will certainly be subjected to a new round of impact.

But it certainly didn't feel good either.

"The Mysterious and Vague Cloud Technique!"

"The Supreme Record of Spiritual Seed and Demonic Seed!"

With the unleashing of two powerful divine abilities, the spirit of the Xuanming Palace traversed the disordered attacks of the four sword intents.

It sank directly into the bottom layer of Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness.

It began to merge with Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness.

And a large number of memories are released during the fusion process.

This is the "Supreme Spiritual Seed Demon Secret Record".

A person's values ​​and experiences are determined by their memories.

Can one attain the state of gentleness and tranquility like an infant?
Human nature is neither good nor evil, just as water is neither east nor west.

At the time of a baby's birth, when they have no memory of anything.

His actions were entirely based on instinct.

Only after initial growth, receiving information from the outside world, and shaping a feedback mechanism called memory based on that information.

Only then can a person's personality take shape.

So what would happen if one person’s entire life experience were implanted into another person’s mind?
It's very simple; it can lead to schizophrenia.

Different memories shape different values, which can lead to serious conflicts.

It can lead to a split personality.

Personality is the soul, or the superstructure of self-awareness.

If we know about the superstructure?

Is it possible to recreate the middle and lower floors of the building?
It is theoretically feasible.

It's just very, very difficult.

But this is not impossible. The "Supreme Spirit Seed Demon Secret Record" is a great supernatural power used to solve this problem.

Moreover, this great supernatural power also includes how to instantly invade another person's sea of ​​consciousness.

In an instant, he poured out his memories.

Techniques for destroying other people's memories.

And after the soul (self-awareness) is reborn, how does it turn the tables, defeat others, and absorb their souls?

The latter is the most important.

This is also the most difficult and important part of "The Secret Record of the Supreme Spirit Seed and Demon Seed".

This is because a person's comprehension and spiritual potential are actually related to their innate soul.

If you can only destroy someone's soul without being able to absorb it.

That would be a waste of effort.

It's no different from ordinary body-snatching techniques.

The only way to absorb the other person's soul and replicate the structure of the other person's innate soul within one's own soul.

Only then can one be considered to have possessed the other person's talent and comprehension.

Of course, even slight differences in one's innate soul can create a world of difference.

Therefore, he used the "Supreme Spirit Seed Demon Secret Record" to possess the talents of others.

In reality, it is difficult to achieve 100% inheritance.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as it's higher than your previous score, you've made a profit.

In other words, what the spirit of the Xuanming Palace said earlier was largely just a show of force.

It was truly possible to successfully possess Fang Jun's body.

It also knew that it could not inherit Fang Jun's comprehension completely.

But that's enough.

Given his own incompetence, he could only advance to the Golden Core stage.

Even considering the comprehension level that doesn't reach the late Golden Core stage, this is the comprehension level of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and specifically, the comprehension level of a first-generation Nascent Soul cultivator.

Unlike some immortal sects where Nascent Soul cultivators inherit resources from their predecessors to reach the Nascent Soul stage, they don't need to.

With only a small amount of resources, one can reach the terrifying Nascent Soul stage by virtue of top-notch comprehension.

As long as it can be possessed.

With the right resources, one can go very far on the path to Nascent Soul.

"Huh? Why aren't you busy yet?"

“You were struck by my memories, how can you be completely unaffected?”

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace was astonished to see Fang Jun's divine consciousness completely unharmed.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the state of Fang Jun's soul is manifested through divine consciousness.

Fang Jun's consciousness was overwhelmed by the boundless and profound memories of the Xuanming Palace's artifact spirit spanning two thousand years.

There was absolutely nothing wrong.

It maintains absolute stability.

What puzzled the spirit of the Xuanming Palace even more was that Fang Jun, who was completely unharmed, did not make any move.

There wasn't even an attempt to stop its memory intrusion.

This is utterly incredible.

Cultivators with divine consciousness are actually able to manipulate their own memories.

It is feasible to properly segment and separate memories.

Although it may cause accidental injury, it is not impossible.

However, Fang Jun did nothing, completely ignoring the erosion by the spirit of the Xuanming Palace.

To deal with this situation, the method of instantly dumping large amounts of memories in the "Supreme Spirit Seed Demon Secret Record" comes in handy.

"Hehe, I get it. So you wanted to steal useful knowledge from my memories."

"The pioneer is the one with confidence."

"Then come on, I'll give you all my memories!"

The memories of the spirit of the Xuanming Palace were like ocean waves, constantly washing over Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness.

It's like a sheet of pitch-black ink trying to gradually pollute pure water.

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace refused to believe it.

Two thousand years of his own memories, which belonged to the Golden Core stage, could not overwhelm Fang Jun.

It's important to understand that the memories of those who cultivate Qi are not on the same level as those of ordinary people.

The same painting, but a mortal's memory is like a 360P print—blurred, distorted, and missing many details.

The Qi Refining skill, on the other hand, is 4K, clear and realistic, with every detail clearly visible.

The same applies to Foundation Building and Qi Refining, and Golden Core and Foundation Building.

Therefore, even on the same time scale, the amount of information contained in the memories of the Golden Core stage surpasses that of the Foundation Establishment stage.

They can all literally burst the sea of ​​consciousness of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Not to mention that the time scale reaches two thousand years, which is dozens of times longer than Fang Jun's.

"Pooh!"

"It's rubbish, all of it is rubbish."

"Are all your memories just this garbage?" Fang Jun read through the memories of the spirit of the Xuanming Palace.

Most of the text was found to be garbled.

It's simply impossible to interpret.

This is actually the extraordinary aspect of "The Secret Record of the Supreme Spirit Seed and Demon Seed".

This great supernatural power is used for possession.

And based on memory as the superstructure, the underlying soul (self-awareness) is restored.

Then use your soul to devour the souls of others.

It's not about trying to shock someone's mind or drive them insane.

Therefore, one's own memories are naturally encrypted.

This encryption has many advantages.

One reason is to prevent the person who is being possessed from spying on one's privacy.

Secondly, it was also to prevent the other party from finding a way to crack the "Supreme Spirit Seed Demon Secret Record" within it.

Of course, even garbled text is still information.

It is also a memory.

It can also cause instability in one's consciousness and memory.

Although it is garbled and lacks a logical order, the person who was possessed could, if given the time, properly organize their memories afterward.

It will not cause any long-term, serious consequences of mental breakdown.

But before that, he will still be subjected to a severe information shock.

Just like a network server being attacked and overwhelmed by traffic.

"You really have nothing to do?"

"It's really okay!"

"I thought you were just pretending nothing was wrong."

"How did you do it? How did you manage to remain completely unaffected?"

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace was originally due to the abnormal structure of Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness.

I am uneasy about the effects of the "Supreme Spirit Seed Demon Secret Record".

Fang Jun is now able to withstand the impact of his memories.

Its unease intensified.

"Want to know?"

"Actually, I can teach you."

"As long as you give up this possession attempt and tell me everything you know, I will teach you everything."

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace still has value in uniting forces.

However, the information it remembers has invaluable value.

Fang Jun's current fear is not that he cannot decipher its memories; with Mo Yiyi around, there is nothing he cannot decipher.

Fang Jun is afraid that it will go to extremes.

They would rather destroy their own thought processes and commit suicide than leave behind any information carriers related to their memories.

Therefore, Mo Yiyi's luck is not that extraordinary.

It is possible to recover the memories of the spirit of the Xuanming Palace from these ruins.

"No, I don't believe you!"

"You're just trying to fool me, and then use tricks to control me later!"

The first step was met with setbacks.

And the unusual state of Fang Jun's consciousness.

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace suddenly lost confidence in merging into Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness and reuniting its soul.

However, this step is the most important step in the "Supreme Spirit Seed Demon Secret Record".

Simply devouring other people's souls to acquire their memories isn't that complicated.

The trouble is gaining the other person's understanding.

Then we must resort to the act of usurping someone else's place.

When one's soul is reborn within another's consciousness, it can be initially regarded as a whole.

In doing so, they devour the opponent's talent.

Now it is expected that this step will be stuck.

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace was extremely anxious.

But it still didn't trust Fang Jun.

I don't trust them in the slightest.

"What kind of environment did you live in before? Was there no trust between people at all?"

"How about this, shall we sign a Heavenly Dao Contract?"

"You shall also be in charge of writing the main format of the Heavenly Contract."

Fang Jun's proposal was met only with a series of cold laughs from the spirit of the Xuanming Palace.

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

"No contract in this world is reliable; they can all be broken."

"Besides, I am already in your sea of ​​consciousness, and I want to cause harm to your sea of ​​consciousness."

"You don't actually want to sign a life-and-death pact with me, do you?"

This kind of contract is the highest level of contract in the cultivation world.

If one dies, the other also dies.

Because it is too extreme, monks often abandon it.

Even in collaborations, such agreements are extremely rare.

Because if the other party accidentally has an accident, wouldn't it be because of the accident caused by our side?

That would be too unlucky of me to die.

Even if there is a possibility of cracking it, we will not take this step unless absolutely necessary.

"I am willing."

"Isn't it just a contract to live and die together? I'll sign it."

By this time, Fang Jun already knew that the spirit of the Xuanming Palace was a tough nut to crack.

A tough nut to crack.

I no longer expect to gain anything from it.

He couldn't bring himself to make boastful claims.

As for whether it will actually be signed, we'll have to think about it again.

"You're not honest at all! You're full of lies!"

"I don't believe you can really withstand so many memories."

"The Supreme Record of Spiritual Seed and Demonic Seed!"

"rise!"

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace once again unleashed this great divine power.

This time, it did not hesitate and completely burned itself, pouring its memories into Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness.

Leaving no way out.

In fact, by this point, it had already made up its mind.

If you fail to succeed because you leave yourself an escape route.

Ultimately, that too will lead to death in the future.

Although it could use the power of the Xuanming Palace to crush Fang Jun directly.

But there's a problem.

That is, its weakened state might not be able to truly kill Fang Jun.

If it fails, keeping it will lead to utter ruin.

There's one more thing.

That is, the spirit of the Xuanming Palace still has the desire to seek the Dao.

Rather than living a muddled and aimless life in the Xuanming Palace, it's better to avoid such a situation.

It's better to fight to the death.

Bo has the opportunity to ascend to the Nascent Soul stage, or even to ascend to the Heavenly Dao.

Having witnessed the will of the spirit of the Xuanming Palace, Fang Jun sighed, "The Heavenly Dao, is the Heavenly Dao truly so important to you?"

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace said, "Don't spout such meaningless nonsense."

"Is the Way of Heaven unimportant to you?"

"We cultivators are able to abandon the worldly pleasures and live a long and prosperous life alone."

"It's not just about being afraid of death."

"Also, it was for the sake of seeking the Dao."

"Seek the supreme Heavenly Dao!"

Fang Jun sighed, "Indeed, even I might not be able to remain calm in the face of the ultimate truth of the universe."

"To show my respect for you, I will no longer hold back."

Fang Jun was able to withstand the memories of the spirit of the Xuanming Palace.

Besides having a Yuan Shen account capable of storing large amounts of data.

Most importantly, he also has a skill.

This technology is called "compressed sensing".

It is a mathematical method for processing sparse signals.

Its core theory is that if a signal itself has a regularity, then it is possible to use a much larger amount of data than traditional methods to store the signal.

Memories brought by "The Secret Record of the Supreme Spirit Seed and Demon"

It was mandatory, it was forced upon us.

Theoretically, it could burst Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness in a short period of time.

However, even garbled text still exhibits a pattern.

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace did not see Fang Jun make the cutting motion, but in fact Fang Jun had already made the cutting.

However, by using the technique of "compressed perception," this cutting process is not very obvious.

It was as if nothing had been done.

Faced with this even greater surge of memories from the spirit of the Xuanming Palace.

Fang Jun remained relaxed and carefree.

However, at the same time, its value in united front work is rapidly declining.

I did not have any memories before.

Then we must be wary of it self-destructing.

Now, as memories gradually flow back to Fang Jun, only the value of time remains.

The only remaining value is saving Fang Jun time in deciphering the memory.

But looking at its attitude...

Trying to persuade them to surrender is a waste of time.

So Fang Jun simply decided to crack it himself.

Moreover, to prevent this guy from losing hope, there's a one in ten thousand chance he might self-destruct.

Fang Jun's consciousness began to become unstable.

And as time went on, it grew lower and lower, gradually becoming like a candle flickering in the wind, extremely fragile.

Haha! I knew you were just putting on a brave face!

"How could you, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, possibly contain such a massive amount of memories?"

"They must be putting on a brave face."

"That's right. If someone with your talent had absolutely no means of resistance, it would be a waste of your potential."

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace was extremely pleased with itself.

Even if it suddenly felt some kind of unease, it ignored it.

I simply consider it a mental demon born from my fear of failure.

Yes.

At this point, failure was no longer an option.

We cannot fail!
"The Supreme Record of Spiritual Seed and Demonic Seed!"

"Gather!"

Once the memories were fully integrated into the sea of ​​consciousness, the spirit of the Xuanming Palace was shattered.

This is the price of being ingrained in memory.

It comes at the cost of its own demise.

But it doesn't matter, it can be reborn. It can be reborn by gathering memories and condensing its soul through Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness.

As for the paradox of "I am who I am," the Ship of Theseus.

For those in the cultivation world, truth has never been a problem.

Nascent Soul cultivators even believe that the Great Dao is the vessel of their own being.

Nothing, including the concept of a soul, can represent a person.

"It worked! It really worked!"

"How could the invincible 'Supreme Spirit Seed Demon Secret Record' possibly fail?"

"It's impossible to fail."

Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly burst forth with dark demonic light, transforming into billions of pitch-black threads that spread like a spider web to every corner of Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness.

Those threads are not just threads.

Instead, it is composed of pure Supreme Demonic Thoughts condensed from the "Secret Record of the Supreme Spiritual Seed of Demons".

Each one is engraved with ancient and sinister Daoist patterns, writhing and eroding like living things.

Fang Jun's consciousness was entangled by these demonic thoughts, and strands of memories converged towards them.

A soul began to slowly take shape in the center of Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Haha, I did it!"

"Fang Jun, right? I saw your name Fang Jun in your memories."

"What a wonderful name."

"However, from now on this name is mine."

Are you ready to face your death?

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace laughed triumphantly, its thoughts surging back and forth in its sea of ​​consciousness.

"Yes, are you preparing for your death?"

Fang Jun's voice rang out softly.

Then--

The balance of the four sword intents was lost, and the sea of ​​consciousness was plunged back into a state of cataclysmic destruction.

It was as if the world had returned to chaos.

It descended into utter chaos and destruction.
