I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 183 The Heart Perishes, the Body Remains

opportunity?

The two sets of second-realm corpses used as experimental materials have been destroyed.

Second-realm cultivators are all at the top of society in this era, so it's impossible for them to have a third set of corpses as material.

Lin Ling looked down at the only second-realm cultivator in the laboratory through the overlapping light and shadow.

The second-realm cultivator is dead!

There will naturally be a second-realm corpse as material.

Lin Ling seemed to be seeing Meng You in a new light, and said incredulously, "If you want to be the experimental subject for the banished immortal, why don't you try the corpse-dissolving ascension? Giving me one last chance will do you no good whatsoever."

Ascension—the ancients left behind only fragmentary words, suggesting there's always a slim chance of success.

Meng You remained unmoved, shaking his head and sighing, "Ascension through corpse liberation is not my path. If I cannot even uphold the path I choose, I am not even worthy of being a clown for others to laugh at. Dying as material for a banished immortal is the end I deserve."

"Firstly, it would give an explanation to the victims of the Immortal Experiment. Secondly, actively seeking death would preserve the psychological scars to the greatest extent possible, thus maximizing the success rate of the experiment. If it still fails, it means I've chosen the wrong path!"

The miniature robot played Meng You's conversation in real time, causing those who were about to attack the Eternal Laboratory to stop. Tianyuan continued to allocate computing power to perform the final calculation of the Immortal Exile model.

"Buzz!"

In the Eternal Laboratory, a sphere of light suddenly appeared, with infinite information intertwining and converging within it.

Meng You adjusted and modified the experimental subject's parameters. As the soon-to-be test subject, no one knew the detailed data of the experimental material better than him.

He personally conducts the deduction, and the deduction will affect his own experiments.

The sphere of light brightened, and a cold, mechanical voice announced: "[The Immortal Model Derivation is complete. Incorporating data from the previous two experiments and the latest test subject data, the success rate for this experiment is 96%.]"

Meng You smiled and said, "Although I know it's fake, let's just treat it as real!"

Improving the success rate of the experiment is the top priority. Meng You is destined not to see the results of the experiment, and his mind becomes fragile, so fragile that he can be affected by the data in the model's projections.

Wang Shu deduced this point, but in order to keep the experimental subjects in optimal condition, she did not disclose the actual data.

"Crack!"

Meng You waved his hand, and an empty life support pod in the corner opened.

His body was connected to various testing instruments, and he sat cross-legged with a calm expression, as if he had anticipated that he might have come to this point.

He said, "To die but have a mind is to ascend to immortality. The path to immortality is difficult, but to die but have a mind and be a vegetable is quite easy to achieve."

Ascending to immortality is the opposite of being in a vegetative state, a point that cultivators generally agree on.

The ultimate goal of becoming an immortal and ascending to heaven is to break free from shackles and seek freedom and unfettered existence, while the most terrifying hell is the Avici Hell.

Both can live forever, but the latter is eternally trapped in a void, unable to see its color or hear its sound; only thought is immortal, yet it is not free.

"Buzz!"

Mengyou's spirit fluctuated violently, almost to the point of being able to manifest a divine power in the present world.

It is severing the connection between the body and the divine, as if it is undergoing a process of physical transformation and ascension, but it is in a completely different direction.

If we compare a person to a basin of water, ascension is like quickly smashing the basin, allowing the water to break free from its constraints and exist independently—a very difficult feat.

Once the pot breaks, even if the water doesn't splash and overflow, everything around it will absorb the moisture, just like the soul facing the transformation of heaven and earth.

But once the basin is dry, it's surprisingly easy for it to continue existing; it's just that it's no longer a basin of water. Meng You's suicide, allowing his heart to die while his body survives, seems unbelievable, but it's not difficult for a second-realm cultivator to do.

"…………" A quarter of an hour later, Meng You's killing intent was complete. Although he still maintained the cross-legged posture, the brainwave detector connected to the life support pod changed from a fluctuating arc to a straight line.

The inner vision represents the complete collapse of the core of consciousness, leaving only fragmented traces of the heart. These fragments can reappear under the stimulation of mental energy, much like the chance of ever being alive.

Meng Sheng walked into the Eternal Laboratory base, looked at Meng You, and sighed, "Why bother! Why bother?"

Having said that, he lightly tapped his finger to project a ball of light, quickly browsed the key information, and took over the third experiment on the banished immortal.

With the aid of the instrument, his spiritual power manifested, his gaze fixed on the crystal that held the immortal spirit: "The best experimental subject for the Immortal Descendant Experiment. If you still cannot be demoted to mortal, then turn into smoke and vanish!"

The spiritual power was introduced into the corpse of Meng You, and the traces of the heart imprint were revived to form a heart imprint that was both real and unreal.

Lin Ling was banished to the mortal realm once again, transforming into a pagoda to replace Meng You's core, layer by layer, until the pagoda was fully formed.

The wind chimes hanging at the corner of the tower rang louder and louder without any wind, and the irregular ringing became like thunder.

"So close! So close! This body should be mine. Mortals can become immortals, and immortals can be banished to the mortal realm."

"I seem to have remembered the key to becoming an immortal, but I can't describe it at all now."

Lin Ling could clearly feel the connection between her consciousness and body strengthening, separated only by a thin veil, as she drew closer to her successful rebirth.

The immortal qualities of the celestial beings are fading, and their consciousness is becoming increasingly chaotic.

This is a necessary process for the transformation of life, which is difficult to describe in words because no living person will have the same experience. After the transformation is completed, there will be a brief loss of consciousness, just like when the corpse was dissolved into an immortal.

"........."

In the third experiment on the banished immortal, a miniature robot broadcast the footage in real time.

Everyone saw that the immortal spirit's sixth sense triggered the corpse's brainwaves to fluctuate again, and the seventh sense triggered the corpse's fingers to twitch slightly, but it remained calm and did not move at all.

With the groundwork laid by the first two experiments and the best experimental materials, the third experiment may not be able to go any further, but it will be easy to do what the first two experiments could do.

A quarter of an hour, a quarter of an hour, a quarter of an hour...

The fluctuations in mental energy gradually stabilized, and the consumption of mental energy also gradually slowed down.

If the body can refine essence into qi, and qi into spirit, forming a new cycle of essence, qi, and spirit to nourish the tower-shaped mind seal in the sea of ​​consciousness, it means that the banished immortal has successfully transformed into a mortal.

The screen of the testing instrument.

The lines change from a straight line to irregularly undulating strings, and finally from chaos to regularity.

His fingers and eyelids would twitch occasionally, and his heartbeat was getting stronger and stronger. All the data showed that the vegetative state patient was changing into a living person.

"........."

done?

Failed?
An hour later, the experimental data stopped fluctuating, which meant that the experiment had yielded results.

The person in the life support pod remained inside, seemingly fast asleep. Meng Sheng went straight to the pod and patted Meng You's cheek forcefully: "Lin Ling, let me know whether the Immortal Extermination Experiment was successful or not, and whether he can come back to life."

A moment.

Lin Ling suddenly opened her eyes.

Its clear eyes scanned its surroundings with unfamiliar eyes, then it let out a piercing roar: "Wow!" (End of Chapter)
