Chapter 410 The Path of Cultivation, the Path of Logic

"Combining the Dao with the dust of the earth" allowed me to perceive a more fundamental and essential truth!

Haotian Venerable frowned and said, "My intuition tells me that this will be a very important discovery! It's something that's closer to the true essence of the self than divine soul, true spirit, or thought algorithms. Perhaps the next step after becoming a Golden Immortal is to walk this path—this feeling is just too strong for me."

Hearing Haotian Venerable's words, Ye Yang's expression gradually turned to surprise.

"Could he have sensed the existence of his true self?"

Ye Yang was secretly surprised.

However, upon closer reflection, it doesn't make much sense. True Martial Arts has a method of cultivation that utilizes the consciousness recovery mechanism of the "Gate of All Heavens." In that state of consciousness being unintentional and unattached, one can indeed get closer to the true self.

More importantly, Haotian Venerable himself has a strong enough consciousness and will, and he has also refined Dao Foundation Dust, which is a weak world foundation material.

It's not surprising that one can perceive even a trace of their true self.

Even without the legacy repository left by the Multiverse Human Federation, as long as the Gate of All Heavens exists, won't the Star Alliance, this human civilization, once again embark on the path of seeking truth?

Ye Yang sighed inwardly.

After opening the relics of the Multi-Human Federation with Luo Yunru, the two discussed the future direction of the Immortal Alliance civilization.

Luo Yunru was born with a portion of inherited memories, which were part of the memories of the "Fire Relayer," describing the process of the Multiverse Federation of Humans being invaded and quickly destroyed by alien creatures.

It contains a great deal of reflective thought.

The torchbearer believes that the Federation may have gone down the wrong path back then, and that the idea of ​​seeking emptiness within falsehood and truth within emptiness may simply not be feasible!

On the contrary, it is that unorthodox logic—as long as humans can understand, recognize, and control a certain unorthodox logic, then they transcend the original set of logics and enter a completely new realm.

It has different advantages over everything within the original logical set and everything within the heterogeneous logical set, and can do many incredible "illogical" things.

As long as two logical systems can coexist in human consciousness —

The Firebringers had been conducting this research for many years without much progress, so they pinned their hopes on a completely new human civilization.

Luo Yunru believes that the Star Alliance, this branch of human civilization, should take a completely new path.

Temporarily abandon the path of cultivation and go study the path of logic!

The Federation has suffered countless setbacks in proving truth, and perhaps within the realm of human logic, there is simply no possibility of proving truth. Perhaps the solution lies in other sets of logic—

Ye Yang did not object to this. All the essence of the path of cultivation was condensed in those three thousand inheritance stone tablets. Although he could not understand the extremely profound content behind them, the knowledge was in his hands.

It was a clear path; he only needed to follow the steps outlined by the Federal Pioneers.

The path of logic is also a route with enormous potential.

In the initial stage, clarifying the known set of logic lays the foundation for exploring the world's legal system, which is unparalleled in the entire legal system.

In the intermediate stage, one begins to encounter some heterogeneous logic and mutually exclusive logic, transcending the set of logics in this context, and accomplishing things that are unreasonable or impossible within the set of logics in this context.

In the advanced stage, the foundation of wisdom is reconstructed based on multiple sets of logic, transforming into a life form that truly transcends its own logic. Even if invaded by enemies from an unknown, alien world of logic, it will not be as powerless as the Human Federation.

It won't be suppressed and beaten to death just because a set of logics is restrained.

The final stage — understanding all comprehensible relationships, mastering all controllable logic, and realizing that anything is possible.

Ye Yang's imagination of this path ends here. However, this is only an imagination and description of the logical path based on this set of logic, which is beyond all imagination.

"The only difference between us is whether or not we should teach the fundamental methods for strengthening the true self. Luo Yunru believes that after teaching such methods, the Immortal Alliance will definitely embark on the path of cultivation, while I believe that strengthening the true self is essential for studying heterodox logic."

.

"So we only reached a consensus beforehand: if the civilization outside the Great Void becomes too powerful, then we will immediately make most of our inheritance public to rapidly increase the power of the Immortal Alliance. If there isn't too much pressure to survive, then we'll wait for the first genius to comprehend this aberrant logic to appear—"

No one expected that Ye Yang would accidentally create something like "The Great Ring World," which contains a "different logic unification trap."

This can be considered as fulfilling the conditions set at the beginning.

"For now, let's only pass it on to the four venerable ones of the Immortal Alliance."

Ye Yang made his decision and then smiled at Haotian Zun, who seemed to sense something was wrong and looked puzzled.

"Did I say something wrong? Or is my intuition wrong?"

Haotian Venerable couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what that more fundamental 'true meaning' is?"

Ever since he realized the elusive true meaning of the essence, Haotian Tianzun felt as if a cat was scratching at his heart, and he longed to know the truth.

"Haha, it seems we've finally reached this point. This must have been inevitable, right?" Ye Yang shook his head and laughed, "Haotian, your intuition is right."

"However, that is not the next direction of cultivation for a Golden Immortal. Rather, it is a special kind of cultivation that can begin after one has attained enlightenment and become a True Immortal. But for True Lords and Golden Immortals, this is far from the end of such cultivation."

"Actually—I received the legacy left behind by the 'Taoist Ancestor'."

These words surprised the four venerables of the Immortal Alliance, but upon closer examination, they seemed quite reasonable.

If Ye Yang had not received the Dao Ancestor's inheritance, how could he have grown so quickly?

As if he could read the four people's thoughts, Ye Yang shook his head again and said, "My rapid growth is partly due to the Dao Ancestor's inheritance, but that happened after I advanced to True Monarch. More importantly, it's thanks to my level 10 dungeon world."

Ye Yang flipped his hand and took out four pieces of weak boundary material, each about one-tenth of a unit.

There are many ways to strengthen the true self. The lowest-cost version of the cultivation method only requires one ten-thousandth of a unit to cultivate for a lifetime, while the fastest version requires consuming one unit of weak foundation material for each major transformation.

Ye Yang's available materials were insufficient to support the four of them using the most wasteful cultivation method, so he chose a moderate one.

"In the legacy left by the Dao Ancestor, the essential truth you, Haotian, have sensed is called the 'Root of the True Self,' and this is the method for cultivating and strengthening the Root of the True Self."

Ye Yang transmitted the information about cultivating a cultivation method to the fourth stage of transformation to the four venerables of the Immortal Alliance.

He continued, "It's just that this method consumes too many materials, and it cannot be widely promoted until our Immortal Alliance can mass-produce these materials. This is also a top secret of our human civilization, so please don't spread it outside for now."

"Once the true self is strengthened, the greatest benefit is the enhancement of consciousness, will, thinking, and understanding, and the insight in certain special aspects will also be improved."

After receiving the numerous messages, although the four had not yet cultivated and were unaware of the true effects of this cultivation method, they still bowed, led by Haotian Venerable, just as Ye Yang had done when he taught them the Golden Immortal Technique last time.

As for why Ye Yang didn't take it out before—that's not important.

After discussing the Golden Immortal Technique for a while longer, Ye Yang ended the exchange.

His will descended upon the starry sky near the Falling Star constellation.

"How have you been, Falling Star?"

Ye Yang sends his friendly greetings.

He has resolved the issue of soul resonance, and his thinking is unaffected, so there is no need for him to resist with hostility.

"I'm fine, but I didn't expect you to progress so quickly. I only recently became a True Lord, and you've already attained the position of Heavenly Venerable."

Luo Yunru's tone was somewhat dejected.

If it were any other genius in the Immortal Alliance who surpassed her, she wouldn't be in such a predicament. But it was Ye Yang, who was also reborn from the true spirit that the Dao Ancestor had created for her back then.

Luo Yunru possessed inherited memories from the very beginning. As she grew up, she developed her own aspirations and ideals. She wanted to carry on the hope of that once incredibly brilliant civilization and find the right path for the future of human civilization.

Even if our current civilization one day surpasses her, she remains irreplaceable in this respect. She is both an extension of the old civilization and will become a major pillar of the new civilization.

With such ambition, seeing Ye Yang, who comes from the same source as her, far ahead of her, she inevitably feels a huge sense of disparity.

Ye Yang laughed: "Ha, I have good news for you. I have found a preliminary method to entrust myself to a black hole. The realm after True Monarch is no longer Celestial Venerable, but Golden Immortal. The so-called Celestial Venerable will just be a special stage in the True Monarch realm in the future."

Luo Yunru fell silent.

A few seconds later, she asked, "What do you want from me?"

"I accidentally entered a state of enlightenment regarding the logic of the unorthodox."

Ye Yang's words immediately excited Luo Yunru.

Her thoughts rippled with surprise across time and space: "Really? How did you do that? What kind of unorthodox logic is that?"

""

Ye Yang gave her some brief information about the "Return to One Trap" and invited her to experience the illusion of the "Great Ring World".

"How could it be like this? How bizarre—" Having experienced tens of thousands of years of cultivation all in vain, Luo Yunru felt an indescribable sense of unease.

Ye Yang continued, "Because of the Golden Immortal Technique, the Heavenly Venerable Haotian went to experience my sect's 'True Intent Martial Arts,' which made him realize the existence of his true self. I felt it was about time, so I imparted the True Self Cultivation Method to the four Heavenly Venerables."

Luo Yunru frowned and asked, "Do you want to expand the scope of this message?"

"We don't have much reserve of weak foundation materials, so how about expanding to the True Monarch group? How about teaching the version with the least usage?" Ye Yang asked.

He and Luo Yunru originally split the weak-world base material in half, so he also had to consult her opinion.

Luo Yunru thought for a while before saying, "Alright, after all, the True Monarchs of the Immortal Alliance are generally quite old now, and their thinking is very fixed. They probably won't be able to play much of a pioneering role in the path of logic."

"We previously defined our domains, and I was responsible for implementing the two logical paths of [Chaotic Succession] and [Return System] within the Immortal Alliance. We've already selected 22 suitable disciples. What about you?"

Ye Yang hadn't started doing this yet, so he could only say, "I haven't chosen any disciples yet—I'm thinking of just opening a course called 'Life Blueprint' in the Enlightenment Project."

Another conversation has ended.

At that moment, Ye Yang also went to chat with True Immortal.

When I, the True Immortal, created the "True Meaning Martial Arts," it can be said to be the prototype of a fundamental cultivation method for the true self!

He is now struggling to find a way forward and has no way to make progress.

It was once the True Immortal who guided Ye Yang forward, but now it is Ye Yang who is helping him.

"Master, after I became a True Lord, I discovered that there is a special connection between this 'foundation dust' and our true meaning. You can try to do something about it—"

Ye Yang took out one unit of weak boundary material and talked with the real person who saw me for a long time, subtly guiding him to explore and study the true self.

"Perhaps Master will be able to create a fundamental cultivation method for the true self in the future."

Ye Yang was quite looking forward to it.

As he continues to evolve and improve, he has long since found his own path.

He himself can only keep the mantle of seeing me in person.

Subsequently, Ye Yang redistributed his mind, allocating half of it to his first clone who was comprehending the "Imaginary Heavenly Dao" in the Heavenly Will World.

One-third of his mind was allocated to his second avatar, who entered the world of the Crimson Feather God War.

This is also a level nine world, but for a Golden Immortal-level warrior, it can still be easily swept aside.

The remaining mental energy was used to maintain the operation of the massive mycelium of the third avatar, cooperating with countless cultivators of the Immortal Alliance to control and transform various low- to mid-level dungeon worlds.

Three years later, in Galactic Standard Time —

The final battle of the Zhu Yu God Wars has come to an end.

Sixteen years later, the war to develop the two level-nine dungeon worlds came to a complete end.

To date, the Immortal Alliance has completed the development of a total of 79 level-nine dungeon worlds. Among them, 43 level-nine worlds have existed for thousands of years, have multiplied into a large population, and have been basically recognized and accepted as the Immortal Alliance's native regions of the otherworld.

The main world's territory, which is now the Milky Way galaxy, is naturally the absolute core territory and the central homeland.

Then comes the territory recognized as "native" in other instance worlds.

Those worlds are all very suitable for population growth and talent development.

The Immortal Alliance currently has over 24,000 members working on level 9 dungeons, but their development capabilities are limited. Therefore, projects are carefully evaluated and selected from the best before being implemented.

The unexpected turn of events in the world of destiny was somewhat of a surprise.

From now until the end of the "Great Changes", the official Xianmeng will no longer approve any development projects for level 9 dungeon worlds.

According to the "Cosmic Sea Dungeon World Development Cooperation Agreement", the Immortal Alliance will mobilize all its resources to enter the Cosmic Sea world!

This will include the main Milky Way galaxy, 43 level-nine worlds, and thousands of level-eight worlds—a large number of powerful individuals cultivated by the Immortal Alliance in all its native regions!

All are divided according to the Great Dao realm. 217 people have been determined to enter the Devouring World as half-step True Monarchs (those who meet the standards in terms of Great Dao strength and Dao Heart, but have not yet comprehended and refined the Primordial Essence).

There are 891 True Lords; 14 Half-Step Celestial Venerables (whose Dao Heart and Dao Fruit can gather the vortex of fortune, but the Milky Way is too small to support them);

Five Celestial Venerables (rotating).
