The first thousand two hundred and sixty-eight chapters are for longevity
“This is a great place!”
Kuo said with a smile.
“Really a great place!”
Wang Changsheng also smiled and said, "The people here, whether they are monks or mortals, are very peaceful. There are no fights. They are so peaceful that there are no quarrels!"
"If there are no disputes over interests, there will naturally be no quarrels!" Kuo said with a smile.
Wang Changsheng fell silent.
In the world of cultivation, is it possible to have no disputes over interests?
Fighting for territory and training resources
All of this is a matter of competition. Whether it is territory or cultivation resources, they are all limited, but monks are constantly being born, so competition has become the most common thing in the cultivation world.
“What is the purpose of practicing?”
Wang Changsheng asked.
Wang Changsheng asked himself this question countless times, but he never got an answer.
Cultivation is ignorant, progress is ignorant, and even some disputes are ignorantly involved in it.
At first, Wang Changsheng thought he was looking for his second uncle, because his father died after his second uncle passed away!
However, as Wang Changsheng walked, he realized that finding his second uncle was no longer his first goal. Even when he was in a powerful state, searching for the Immortality Skill was what Wang Changsheng cared about most.
If he had not followed Li Fusheng to the ancient world and obtained the complete cultivation method of longevity skill in the ancient world, I am afraid that Wang Changsheng still would not know how to continue his cultivation path.
"Could it be that the purpose of cultivation is to cultivate?"
"No, that's not the case!"
Wang Changsheng had many thoughts in his mind and was rejecting them one by one.
He couldn't figure it out, so Wang Changsheng asked this question, hoping that Kuo could give him an answer, because Kuo's cultivation level was much higher than his own.
"Practice"
Kuo raised his head, thought for a while and said, "There are thousands of purposes of cultivation, just like the stars in the universe."
"Some monks do it to make their lives better, while some monks want to become stronger and stronger!"
"Some monks are just for power. Strong strength will bring them huge rights."
"There are still some monks who practice just to stay alive."
A lot has been clarified. The purpose of each monk's practice is different. This is also the answer in Wang Changsheng's heart. However, Wang Changsheng has not found his own answer.
Perhaps, it is to find the second uncle and father?
Wang Changsheng is not so sure!
Wang Changsheng did not answer Kuo's words because Wang Changsheng believed that with Kuo's strength and cultivation, especially Kuo's state of mind, it was impossible to give him such a vague answer. Even this was not an answer. It still did not solve the problem in Wang Changsheng's heart.
Confuse.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, let me ask you, how are those monks who practice just to stay alive?" Kuo asked with a half-smile.
"died!"
Wang Changsheng gave a decisive answer.
Regardless of whether those people's purpose is to live or to live a better life, they all died in the end, either in a fight or at the end of their lives!
This is the result that no one, no monk, can escape.
Aren’t those ancient clans, including the ancient remnants, all dissipated in the long river of history?
"Yes, they are all dead!" Kuo continued to ask, "Then, what happened to those monks who pursued power?"
"Standing at the top!"
Wang Changsheng said, "But, they also died in the end!"
In the pursuit of powerful power, not every monk can stand at the top, but there is always one person who stands at the top and overlooks all living beings!
However, according to Wang Changsheng's understanding, power is not eternal, and death is an inevitable outcome.
The change of power is accompanied by various deaths, including the demise of dynasties and the fall of monks.
"So, is the purpose of cultivation important?" Kuo said, "In the end, everyone dies. It's just the difference between dying early and dying late."
At this point, even Kuo showed an incomprehensible expression.
"Yes, they all died in the end!" Wang Changsheng said, "So, the final destination of cultivation is death and fall."
Is this the answer Kuo wants to tell himself?
Wang Changsheng was not satisfied with this answer, but he could not refute it.
Cultivation is for the sake of death?!
"No!"
Kuo shook his head and said, "If the purpose of cultivation is to die and fall, then there is no way that the way of cultivation can be passed down for such a long time!"
"How long has the world of cultivation existed? Thousands of years? Tens of thousands of years? Or tens of millions of years?"
"Even I can't remember how many years have passed."
Wang Changsheng heard Kuo's words. Kuo's words were equivalent to refuting Kuo's own views, but to Wang Changsheng, they seemed very reasonable.
Indeed, if cultivation is for death, those low-level monks cannot see clearly this truth. Could it be that those strong men who stand at the pinnacle of history and have experienced years of precipitation, looking down at all living beings, still cannot see this point clearly?
"For inheritance?"
Wang Changsheng said tentatively.
"No!"
Kuo continued, "Inheritance lasts forever. This is not just a saying. Even if one race is extinct, there are other races that can continue. The inheritance can never be cut off!"
"What's that for?"
Wang Changsheng asked.
Wang Changsheng really couldn't think of an answer.
Simply ask Kuo!
Wang Changsheng believes that Kuo will give him a satisfactory answer. Even if he cannot accept this answer, it must be because he is not standing high enough, so he cannot touch the vision of the strong.
"For immortality!"
Kuo said categorically, "Whether it is death, genocide, or inheritance that lasts forever, the final destination of cultivation is immortality."
"Eternal life?"
Wang Changsheng was no stranger to this term. The longevity technique he practiced, also known as the Secret of Immortality, was named after longevity. However, Wang Changsheng had never thought about the issue of longevity.
There are rumors in the cultivation world that immortals are immortals, but are there immortals in the cultivation world?
No!
Not only are there no rumors, but even the records left by the great clans do not mention the existence of immortals!
Why?
There are no immortals in the world!
"Yes!" Kuo said with a smile, "Longevity!"
Kuo looked at Wang Changsheng and did not continue anything, but waited for Wang Changsheng to digest it himself, because at the level Wang Changsheng was at now, it was simply impossible to understand what the two words Changsheng represented.
Those strong men who stand at the top, overlooking all living things, may be able to touch a glimmer of opportunity.
But immortality?
Who dares?
