I attained immortality in the real world.

Three Realms!

Immortality!!
The other five people in the meditation room could not understand Chen Jing.

A lack of mutual understanding is often the root cause of a team falling apart.

Cultivators can accept dissenting opinions and think more rationally. As long as Chen Jing's memories and cognition are not tampered with, he will break through his realm and be able to look down from a higher perspective, see more, and thus influence his decision-making.

"The pursuit of immortality in the Three Realms is not a difficult thing. As long as one path to immortality is successfully opened, you will surely be able to walk through it and achieve eternal life, right?"

"That's right! Why be so fixated on pursuing the three realms?"

"Why can't we achieve immortality first, and then use a long lifespan to pursue it?"

"How can I break through to the third realm? Or how can I break through to the second realm like you and touch the edge of the third realm?"

【00:39:25！！】

Chen Jing checked the time on his bracelet.

There was still some time before he could assume the authority of the Lord of Heaven, so he calmly replied, "Why is the story of Buddha's enlightenment about cutting off his own flesh to feed an eagle?"

"The first step in breaking through the three realms seems to be abandoning oneself, like the Buddha cutting off his own flesh to feed the eagle. Clearly, all beings are equal, so why should one demean oneself and other beings? It seems to contradict the core of cultivation, the self-ism, but in fact it is not."

"First, in terms of the concept of the Three Realms, one must transcend oneself and regard the race as one's own body. Therefore, one who touches the Three Realms is called a sage."

“You all know about this step, but you can’t easily overcome the mental hurdle. Actually, this is the right thing to do, because even if you take this step, you won’t reach the three realms.”

"All rivers flow into the sea, and the sea embraces all rivers. Whether it is a river or the sea, a drop of water cannot control the flood, so it is difficult to escape the fate of losing itself."

"The mysteries of the three realms cannot be fully explained in words. Lao Tzu said, 'The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without striving, and dwells in places that others disdain. Therefore, it is close to the Tao.'"

"........."

“The appearance of my three realms is the appearance of a long river. Using the long river as a metaphor, I point out the core of touching the three realms.”

"Is a drop of water a river?"

"A river is formed by billions of drops of water?"

"In fact, no matter how many drops of water there are, they are not a river."

"A drop of water merges into a river, evaporates under the sun, is picked up by a child, and flows into the sea. The traces left by the water drop from merging to leaving are the materials that make up a 'river'."

"The long river is not water, nor is it a ditch. It is like a dream, yet it can carry billions of water droplets. Thus, history, time, and destiny are often metaphorically represented by the long river."

"Only when I reach the Ruohe Realm will I be qualified to touch the Three Realms."

"It took me seven thousand years to condense the appearance of the Azure Emperor of the Three Realms, and only by understanding the meaning of the Long River could I remain true to myself while immersed in seven thousand years of historical insights."

"........."

Using seven thousand years of history as its foundation, a historical river carrying civilization is constructed.

Achieving even one thing is difficult, but without the authority of the First Emperor Taihuang, it is achievable as long as one is willing to invest computing power and time. To allow one's consciousness to drift from the top to the bottom of the river of history, absorbing seven thousand years of insights without losing oneself, is even more difficult. Breaking through boundaries using the river of history is completely unrepeatable.

Xu Zui couldn't understand the meaning of 'Changhe's' transcendence, and stared at Chen Jing, asking, "I remember you once said that there is a certain positive correlation between status and compassion. Only stewards would want to line their own pockets. Those with absolute power control would consider everyone as their wealth. Cutting flesh to feed eagles is God's pity for the arrogance of the world?"

Fang Xin paused and said, "Being in the food chain of the world, the eagle lives and the rabbit dies, the rabbit dies and the eagle lives, and even if both the eagle and the rabbit die, there will be no ripples. The Buddha transcended at the moment he cut off his own flesh to feed the eagle. No, he cut off his own flesh to feed the eagle after he had completed his transcendence. He was beyond the Three Realms and outside the Five Elements."

Meng You's eyes gleamed as he sought confirmation from Chen Jing: "The Three Realms—The Phase of the Long River?"

"Since we are all water, we will inevitably be assimilated by other waters and lose our identity. Water turns into ice, changing the form of life. This can temporarily resist the transformation by the Dao. Is this the core of the path to immortality?"

“Only by elevating the concept of ‘I’ to a higher dimension, like water and a river, can it serve as a vessel to hold water, and only with an anchor point can it not lose itself. This is the foundation of the third realm, right?”

Chen Jing neither confirmed nor denied, and did not elaborate further.

He explained the third realm to everyone, like describing color in a world full of blind people, and after listening, one of the blind people shared his insights.

The more concrete the representation, the more errors and omissions there will be!

Chen Jing did not answer their follow-up questions, but continued, "Using the long river as a metaphor is the most fitting explanation of my current understanding of the third realm. As for how to understand it, that is entirely up to the individual."

"Whether you understand it or not doesn't really matter. As long as you have the concept, that's enough. Knowing that this is a prerequisite for reaching the three realms is sufficient."

"As long as one can reach the third realm, the priority of breaking through to the next realm and proving the Dao will inevitably be higher than longevity."

"From a personal perspective, if even one person succeeds in attaining enlightenment, it means a certain degree of self-loss. Furthermore, only those in the Three Realms can achieve immortality, without needing to pursue relative longevity."

"From the public's perspective, once the path to immortality is established, the immortals and those who provide for immortality will inevitably become severely separated, and the order of civilization will evolve towards collapse. The Third Realm has the ability to change this collapse."

"........."

Yao Jing closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "The Three Realms, similar to the Dao Ancestor Hongjun's merging with the Dao in prehistoric fantasy novels? Those authors never gave a reasonable explanation, but now I understand a little!"

"They are all just mortals, yet in the second realm they take a step towards immortality, and in the third realm they take a step towards eternal life."

Chen Jing nodded: "The Jade Cycle Theory of Longevity: Breaking the limit is not the next step; there is no upper limit to achievement."

"In terms of the status of attaining the Dao in the third realm, it is no different from the human saint in the prehistoric novels, but my strength is extremely weak now. Any one of you could kill me with one punch."

Lai Ming paused for a moment and then asked, "Shen Xian of Tianyuan Group has also reached the third realm. Is it through the layout of the third generation Yuanjie pod in Cangtian Realm that he is able to transform all living beings?"

Chen Jing nodded: "Once you reach the third realm of enlightenment, there are only two key points left: how to distribute the seeds of your own consciousness among all sentient beings? How to resist the transformation of sentient beings into the Dao?"

"First, external conditions are needed. The Heavenly Realm has concealed my will from the will of all living beings. In addition, there are requirements for the will and realm of the one who attains the Dao. The will of the long river, the will of water, the will of reincarnation—without practical verification, it is impossible to confirm whether this is the level of the third realm."

Yao Jing had a sudden thought and said, "How about we try using the Messenger of Impermanence to kill Shen Xian, and then take care of your brother after you successfully attain enlightenment? It wouldn't be difficult to live to the point of not wanting to live anymore, would it?"

Chen Jing shook his head: "There is no need for a fight to the death. Without a reference point, there are too many unknown factors, and the success rate of proving the Dao is not high. Moreover, no matter who succeeds, it will be a good thing for the human race."

"Right now, the lab has uploaded almost all the necessary data in the scramble for God's authority. I will use my God's authority to mobilize computing power and hack in to improve the Messenger of Impermanence..." (End of Chapter)
