People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 295 Wisdom Reaching the Heavens
As for stillness, extinction, and birth, stillness is the death of the mortal mind and the emergence of the Dao mind, which is the gateway to the Dao. Entering the Dao through martial arts is indeed a common path, but it is not the only one.

In this world, there is also the path of literary talent. Before achieving it, one is just a scholar, an ordinary person with no martial arts skills. But once one's literary talent is condensed, one is reborn, easily elevating one's physical abilities with one's mind.

Some great Confucian scholars can even break through several physical limits while concentrating their literary minds.

This is also the last chance. Once you enter the Dao, your life will be solidified, and the limits of your physical body will become indestructible. The stronger you are, the stronger the shackles of life will be, just like a person cannot lift themselves up by their own hair.

Extinction is the continuation of stillness. When the mind dies, the spirit lives. If one can extinguish everything, one can enter a state of absolute rationality in an instant, like a mechanical mind. This gives one a huge advantage in both training and combat.

However, this is merely a side effect of the supernatural; the purpose of destruction is for the sake of life!

This is what is known as innate fetal breathing!

This step is already within the realm of a Primordial Great True Person, and only a Primordial Great True Person can reside there permanently.

As for the "Ming" that follows, it means enlightenment, light, and understanding the Way; it refers to the ultimate amplification of one's mental state.

As the saying goes, "If one hears the Way in the morning, one can die content in the evening."

Ming means to transform the joy of hearing the Way into eternity!
This level of skill is rare even among great masters.

And the final forgetting is naturally sitting in oblivion!

Sit in oblivion and forget yourself, manifest the primordial spirit and forge the embryo of the Dao!

Of course, all of this that Li Qi summarized only corresponds to mental state and has nothing to do with the level of life.

While there is a relationship between mental state and level of life, they are also relatively independent.

After all, Li Qi had already reached the state of innate fetal breathing while he was sleeping. Now, his body has undergone tremendous changes, especially with the Pure Yang Dao True Essence washing away his Yin essence, which has further improved his mental state.

However, while one's mental state may improve rapidly, the growth of physical strength still requires the accumulation of time.

"The mind is the most ethereal, and of course the most crucial, but the effects of spiritual growth take a considerable amount of time to transform the material world."

A series of thoughts appeared in Li Qi's mind.

"But that makes sense. The evolution of life isn't a game. How could there be a situation where everything at every level is fixed and completely predetermined?"

"Take the path of breaking limits for example. Meng Wujie broke through five major limits. His six-dimensional attribute limit was 18, which is much higher than many great immortals. He also had great fortune in the human world, plus his own talent. His spiritual height was also terrifyingly high."

"While the six-dimensional attributes don't represent everything, even if a Grandmaster were to intervene, he might not be able to kill her..."

"Combat strength, mindset, and life level are all related but not absolute."

"After all, in essence, entering the Dao is about elevating the height of life, while breaking through limits is about exploring the depth and breadth of life. They are two different evolutionary directions. It's just that the path of breaking through limits can be compatible with entering the Dao, but entering the Dao cannot continue to break through limits..."

"This is why, with two breakthroughs, one can reach the lower limit of a Dao-entering combat power, and with four or five breakthroughs, killing ordinary Dao-entering cultivators is as easy as killing chickens..."

"The four refining processes for entering the Dao also belong to the path of becoming a True Person, but they lead to two different directions. However, to become a True Person, one must not delve into the potential of life, which is simply insufficient to complete the leap to True Person."

"Without the support of extraordinary energy, and without deeply exploring the potential of life, one cannot go far on the path of evolution."

Li Qi now has a complete understanding of cultivation.

Afterwards, Li Qi slowly got up, neither continuing to grind the dungeon nor attempting to unlock the shackles of life. Although the Pure Yang Dao True Essence and special traits are not part of the same system, the strength of the two traits extracted by the Qian Yuan Heart Method made it easy for Li Qi to break through the second and third levels of life limits.

Even in Li Qi's estimation, after breaking through two major limits, he still has some potential left and will not exhaust his potential reserves.

The quality of "My Will of Heaven" and "Qian Yuan Palm of Heaven" is too high. One of their traits is comparable to the sum of traits obtained by mastering several divine skills to the highest level.

However, even so, the potential accumulated by these two traits is not unlimited, and it is impossible for Li Qi to break through the fourth major limit.

Things will change every three times!

The fourth major hurdle offers an additional chance of achieving sainthood, highlighting the difficulty of this stage.

Over the long course of time, only unparalleled geniuses can consistently break through the fourth major limit; even geniuses are subject to the vicissitudes of life.

If Li Qi wants to break through the four limits as quickly as possible, he will have to continue to accumulate martial arts skills, and the number of accumulations will be considerable.

After all, even someone like Meng Wujie only just broke through to the fifth level before the new year.

The benefits Li Qi gained from this trip to the past would have been far less than the Great Fortune of Humanity if it weren't for the existence of the Qian Yuan Heart Sutra.

"While we no longer possess the invincible power to fight against heaven and earth like in the dungeons, and our mental fortitude has also declined, we have the advantage of being grounded. If a person has no roots, no matter how strong they are, it is just an illusion, unable to withstand the wind and rain..."

After standing up, Li Qi let out a long breath and recalled his power in the dungeon, feeling a bit like he was in a dream.

After that, as if he were learning to walk again, he slowly walked out of the quiet room. Only after closing the door did Li Qi glance at the Qian Yuan Heart Method on the panel.

Qian Yuan Heart Method ∞ (236/10000)

After extracting Daozhen, this martial art did not start over as Li Qi had expected. Instead, it gained 10,000 proficiency points, which could be used to extract the skill once it was full.

However, it's clear that this thing isn't so easy to fill.

Just like the Cicada Heart Nine Transformations Reincarnation True Self Dao Scripture, which is still quite far from the second transformation, this True Self Dao Scripture is very picky about what it eats. Only the flavors of one's own life can nourish its growth, and it has extremely high requirements for compatibility.

That makes sense, otherwise, this martial art could be fully mastered using the Great Luck of Humanity, allowing it to change nine times a day.

But what comes from outside is still outside, and when it involves extremely profound levels like reincarnation and the true self, it becomes somewhat incompatible.

As for why Li Qi did not break through his life limit at this moment, it was because he had just finished practicing his sword in the morning. Although his spirit had undergone a qualitative change, his physical condition was not at its peak.

As for the dungeons, it's safer to fight them after breaking through the limits. If nothing unexpected happens, the muscular demon monk and that Taoist priest will definitely be safe once he breaks through the three major limits.

At this time, Li Qi's three-dimensional mental attributes also reached a terrifying level.

Mind: 7.25
Will: 6.36
Wisdom: 10.00
This time, his greatest improvement was in wisdom. As for his mind, he was in a very strong mental state now, but a state is a state, and basic values ​​are basic values. It's impossible to reach the sky in one step. However, with a strong mental state, his basic values ​​can naturally improve by leaps and bounds.

The highest level of wisdom, including the +1 from innate divine wisdom and the 20% bonus from the title, has reached an actual effect of 13.2. With the addition of various status buffs, compared to ordinary people, it can now be described as having supreme wisdom.

Unfortunately, Li Qi had experienced the state of a Primordial Saint and knew that he was still far from being one.

Take the Three Saints for example. They possess great human fortune. If they were to break through the fifth level, their wisdom could definitely reach the extreme value of 18 points. However, they are still not innate saints. Even if they are comparable to a large part of one, even if they are 99.99%, they are still completely different from the complete saint.
