Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 191 The Supreme Cognitive Anchoring Protocol 2.0
"boom--!"

Under the four unbalanced sword intents, the sea of ​​consciousness was gradually destroyed. All its structures and the carriers of thoughts and memories were destroyed by the powerful attack.

"You are crazy!"

"You don't want to live anymore!"

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace shouted.

Faced with the overwhelming force of destruction, it appeared so powerless, utterly unable to offer any resistance.

This is a matter of course.

Its abilities are constructed based on Fang Jun's existing sea of ​​consciousness structure; it is through this sea of ​​consciousness structure that the soul was shaped.

When Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness was destroyed, its power naturally began to decline.

Even as it struggled fiercely.

But it was still completely useless.

It's like a small boat in the middle of the ocean, so powerless in the face of a storm and towering waves.

All their efforts were in vain.

What exactly are you doing?

"Do you want to die?!"

"Don't be so resolute. We can still talk and reach a lot of consensus!"

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace never expected Fang Jun to be so resolute, or rather, it had foreseen it.

But to everyone's surprise, Fang Jun acted so decisively and without any hesitation, and the activation was very quick.

It happened much faster than the spirit of the Xuanming Palace had predicted.

They destroyed all of its trump cards and methods, and were unable to grasp Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness at all.

Prevent the destruction of the sea of ​​consciousness.

If Fang Jun had hesitated even a little longer, the spirit of the Xuanming Palace would have been confident enough to control Fang Jun's sea of ​​consciousness and prevent it from causing destruction.

Of course, there is still a way to salvage the situation. As long as Fang Jun and it work together and don't sabotage each other, everything can still be salvaged.

Therefore, the spirit of the Xuanming Palace sent a truce signal to Fang Jun.

It wasn't that it was afraid of dying, but rather that it was afraid of losing all the gains it was about to make.

"If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"

"It's not like I didn't give you a chance, but unfortunately you're too conspiratorial and didn't believe what I said."

"It's too late now!"

Fang Jun was not afraid of any of the problems that would result from the collapse.
Because he stopped being a human being a long time ago.

Things like the "sea of ​​consciousness" cannot fully represent him.

He cannot be considered as a complete individual.

His thought patterns and memories are largely backed up on the Primordial God.

Even if the sea of ​​consciousness that carries his personality is destroyed or damaged.

To be honest, Fang Jun didn't really care.

Because as long as it's not completely damaged, he can rebuild it using the Yuan Shen ship.

This was naturally impossible before.

However, as his cultivation reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and his Yuan Shen (Primordial Spirit) became stronger, coupled with more than a decade of research assisted by Mo Yiyi, his cultivation continued to grow.

His understanding of thought and memory is no longer what it used to be.

The Supreme Cognitive Anchoring Protocol has also been updated from version 1.0 to 2.0.

This makes Fang Jun's control over his thinking even more impressive.

He finds rebuilding his mindset much easier.

If it weren't for the fact that the Dao Foundation couldn't withstand it, the fifth realm of intent would have been easily contained.

Of course, this does not mean that Fang Jun can abandon his body to achieve immortality of memories.

One of the problems is that he has not yet been able to completely resolve the issue of spiritual roots.

He also needs to maintain a certain degree of integrity in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Another problem is that no matter how powerful the Yuan Shen Hao becomes, it still cannot fully contain Fang Jun's personality.

This is something that is difficult to change at present due to Fang Jun's limited knowledge.

"Not too late, not too late at all."

"There is still room for negotiation."

"Actually, the struggle between you and me wasn't a life-or-death battle from the beginning."

"As long as we maintain mutual trust and sign contracts, we can coexist harmoniously without having to fight to the death."

Are you still worried that I'll possess you?

"There's really no need to worry about that. All this talk about possession is just a joke; it doesn't even exist."

"I just want to possess your body, that's all."

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace spoke with sincerity and earnestness.

Don't be fooled by how much they interact.

In fact, it is very fast when divine sense is used as a medium, even in the current urgent situation.

There is still plenty of time.

"Are you saying these things because you think I'm a fool?"

Fang Jun said calmly.

This fueled the Great Destruction to become even more turbulent.

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace tried its best to stop it, but it was completely powerless.

He didn't have the advantage of going first.

No matter how hard you try to stop it.

It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"No, no, no, you are a first-generation Nascent Soul cultivator, how could I possibly treat you like a fool?"

"Believe me, I absolutely have no intention of harming you."

"It was all a misunderstanding before, all a misunderstanding."

"Look, this is the great supernatural power I used to possess you, called the 'Supreme Spirit Seed Demon Secret Record'."

"The reason is to make my soul entangled with your soul."

"Then I will rely on my rich memories to dominate this body from now on."

"I have absolutely no intention of killing you."

"It's just about using your talent in the process."

"When I ascend to the Heavenly Dao in the future and no longer need you, I will release you."

"To give you your freedom again."

"What I said to you before was all to deceive you, to lower your resistance, so that I could take control of this body in the future."

"I really have no intention of killing you, after all, I am not a murderer."

"If you still don't believe me, I can unlock my memories for you to see."

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace truly kept its word, not only showing Fang Jun the "Supreme Demon Seed Spirit Transfer Secret Record" with some of its contents concealed.

They actually deciphered a portion of the memories and showed it to Fang Jun.

In this part of my memory.

Fang Jun finally learned the true identity of the spirit of the Xuanming Palace.

It is not actually a spirit.

It is actually a person.

However, this person was no ordinary person; he was Xuanming Zhenren.

Yes, that's right. In fact, the spirit of the Xuanming Palace is Xuanming Zhenren.

This is not something incredible.

As a cultivator in the Golden Core stage, one's divine sense is infinitely differentiated. How can one not make good use of such a vast amount of divine sense?

Therefore, the tradition of creating artifact spirits by utilizing one's own divided consciousness arose.

The benefits of using one's own consciousness are numerous.

Firstly, it differs from the newly formed spirit consciousness, which is still in a state of confusion and needs to grow again.

My own consciousness has already grown and is a fully mature existence.

Secondly, one's own consciousness is still oneself, and even if there are slight differences, it is still much better than other consciousnesses that do not resonate with one's own mind.

Simply selecting and cultivating a subconscious mind that is completely loyal to you can save you a lot of trouble and effort.

As Xuanming Zhenren, he believed himself to be an extremely kind person.

Having hailed from the Thousand Stone Domain, he witnessed the difficulties cultivators faced in their training and thus specially created the Xuanming Palace to remain there.

This gives cultivators in the Thousand Stone Domain a better chance to become Golden Core cultivators.

The reason why it appears so bloody and cruel is due to differences in perception.

Without the grace of True Man Xuanming, the chances of a Golden Core cultivator in the Thousand Stone Domain reaching the Golden Core stage would be virtually zero.

It doesn't exist at all.

This stems from the Immortal Sect's monopoly over resources.

Unless one joins a celestial sect, there is absolutely no possibility of achieving the Golden Core stage.

But is it so easy to worship a celestial sect?
They don't need any more people.

Therefore, most people at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment have no chance of breaking through to the Golden Core stage, even if they have the potential.

However, True Man Xuanming specially opened the Xuanming Palace, breaking this monopoly and giving those who were not from the Immortal Sect the opportunity to become Golden Core cultivators.

This is true goodness.

Although there weren't many supplies inside.

They also have to fight each other.

After becoming a Golden Core cultivator, one must also join the Starry Sky Sect, which originated from the Xuanming True Man.

But this is still a great act of kindness.

Therefore, Master Feixia initially believed that the plan to exclude Fang Jun from the outside would go smoothly.

It's because the opportunity to form the Golden Core is simply too precious.

It is so precious that people would risk their lives for it.

Let the Foundation Establishers fight with everything they have.

Even at the cost of one's life.

Fang Jun, however, did not have much of an understanding of this kind of goodness; he was only focused on the "Supreme Demon Seed and Spirit Transfer Secret Record".

I am very interested in this great supernatural power that can condense memories into the soul.

As long as you can acquire the knowledge mentioned above.

Fang Jun will gain a deeper understanding of self-awareness.

In this way, various related research, such as Dao patterns, artistic conception, and the "Highest Cognitive Anchoring Protocol," can be rapidly improved.

"Send me the complete 'Supreme Record of Planting Demons and Acquiring Spirits'."

"I'll consider it after I've looked into it."

Fang Jun's words were merely a delaying tactic; the strategic value of the Xuanming Palace's artifact spirit had already plummeted to its lowest point.

Deceiving it would only reduce obstacles to future research.

Moreover, a mysterious secret told Fang Jun that the spirits of the Xuanming Palace were definitely not genuinely coexisting harmoniously.

It definitely contains some kind of conspiracy.

"Okay, as long as I tell you that you've agreed to team up with me."

"It's much better for everyone to live together than for everyone to die together."

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace would naturally not send Fang Jun the complete version; it would only send him abridged versions, and all of them would be beneficial to itself.

Of course, not all of it is fake.

It still contains a lot of valuable information; otherwise, it would be a huge loss if we all died together after the negotiations broke down.

Of course, all of this was a delaying tactic by the spirit of the Xuanming Palace.

It believed that although its comprehension was not as good as Fang Jun's, it was a spirit created by the consciousness of a Golden Core cultivator.

His knowledge and experience are many times greater than Fang Jun's.

When its consciousness calms down a bit, that's when it will start preparing its counterattack.

"Wouldn't it have been better to do it this way earlier?"

Why did things have to come to this?

Fang Jun said calmly, while rapidly scanning the knowledge in the "Supreme Demon Seed and Spirit Transfer Record" with his divine sense.

The more I look at it, the more amazed I become.

Who exactly invented this great supernatural power?

They have such a clear, systematic and complete understanding of the soul and self-awareness.

At a deeper level, it even subtly touches upon the mysteries of spiritual roots.

Once this great supernatural power is mastered to perfection, one will comprehend the laws of the soul.

Achieve the Golden Elixir of the Soul.

"So now I know I was wrong and I've made amends."

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace is quite adaptable, and now it's acting all shameless.

Master Xuanming has experienced many ups and downs in his life, and he has humbled himself before. What are these few words of flattery?
None of these are things that do not hinder one's Dao mind.

"As long as we work together, we can ascend to the heavens together in the future and ascend to immortality."

"Can the Heavenly Dao allow many people to ascend at the same time? If so, why do those Nascent Soul cultivators still need to compete?"

"They are them, we are us, you and I are one, and we are not the same as them."

"What's the difference? We can be one, and they can be one, so why are we special?"

"Just because you are a first-generation Nascent Soul cultivator, your soul structure has special characteristics that allow it to accommodate another person and ascend to immortality. The same applies to Ancestor Tianji and Ancestor Wuxing."

"..."

Fang Jun clearly realized that, in order to possess him, the spirit of the Xuanming Palace was indeed lying without hesitation.

"Alright, when are you going to start helping me restore peace to your sea of ​​consciousness? If this continues, your sea of ​​consciousness will really be destroyed."

"Let me finish checking the 'Supreme Demon Seed and Spirit Transfer Secret Record' first."

"It's been so long, and the examination isn't finished yet? Hurry up, I'm really going to die."

"No, you will die, but I will not die."

“Crack, crack, crack—!”

"boom--!"

The sea of ​​consciousness was like an egg about to break, heralding its final destruction.

The four sword intents were like world-destroying blades, destroying the sea of ​​consciousness while also completely shattering the supreme demonic thoughts transformed from the spirit of the Xuanming Palace.

But it is still struggling, gathering, trying to regain its body.

"You! You! You're committing suicide!"

"No, I already said I won't die."

Upon hearing this, the spirit of the Xuanming Palace suddenly cried out in terror: "You! You actually comprehended the 'Supreme Demon Seed and Spirit Transfer Secret Record'!"

"He comprehended the secret manual in such a short time!"

"This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Even with your first-generation Nascent Soul aptitude, it is absolutely impossible!"

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace spoke with disbelief, as if the world had collapsed.

"This is a great divine power! A great divine power that contains the laws of the soul! How could you comprehend it so quickly!"

Fang Jun said calmly, "Nothing is impossible. Impossibility is too absolute, and I don't like that kind of absoluteness."

"Go to hell in peace. Maybe when I ascend to the Heavenly Dao, I will reunite you and show you what the Heavenly Dao is all about."

As soon as he finished speaking, the destruction of his sea of ​​consciousness accelerated even further.

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace was shattered once again, and all the supreme demonic thoughts were nothing in the face of this destruction.

Even before obtaining the "Supreme Demon Seed and Spirit Transfer Secret Record", Fang Jun already had the confidence to rebuild his sea of ​​consciousness.

Now, after gaining a little insight, my confidence has increased even more.

This is reflected in his ability to destroy the sea of ​​consciousness even more thoroughly.

This further exterminated the spirits of the Xuanming Palace.

"No! You can't kill me! I'm very important as the spirit of the Xuanming Palace, you can't kill me!"

"Didn't you say before that you wouldn't kill me if I teamed up with you?"

"I can join forces with you right now."

"To join forces with you through a contract!"

Faced with the plea for mercy from the spirit of the Xuanming Palace, Fang Jun said calmly, "Don't you have the composure of a seeker of the Dao in the face of death?"

"No, I was wrong!"

"It is precisely because you are a seeker of the Way that you are unwilling to die, to die without ever having glimpsed the Great Way."

How could I not regret it?

"boom--!"

Fang Jun stopped listening to the ramblings of the Xuanming Palace artifact spirit and completely destroyed his sea of ​​consciousness.
