Li Yao's real capability right now had reached the upper level of the Yuanying Stage and the bottleneck to break into the Divinity Transformation Stage. He had been thinking hard about how to reach the Divinity Transformation Stage.
Hearing his professor's words, he couldn't help but craned his neck.
"In the Divinity Transformation Stage," Professor Mo Xuan said, "the separation between the soul and the body will be even higher. The 'Yuanying' that has to stay in the brain will be able to leave the body freely and exist on its own as a life of spiritual energy.
"For example, the soul and the body of the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator are like a ship and a port. Before the Divinity Transformation Stage, the ship is too small to leave the shelter of the mother port, and it will be knocked over by the tides the moment it sets out. But after the Divinity Transformation Stage, it will finally grow into an ocean liner that can sail thousands of kilometers away in the wind and waves!
"Of course, even the ocean liner cannot completely get rid of the mother port. It has to return to the mother port for supplies and maintenance now and then. Therefore, the body is still necessary, but it is not as important.
"It is exactly because the soul is more independent that the Cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Stage boast a 'domain'. What is a domain? It is a virtual world that is created by their soul and controlled by them at their will! Think about it. Doesn't it make sense? "
Li Yao thought for a moment and realized that it did make sense!
"Above the Divinity Transformation Stage is the Divinity Branching Stage," Professor Mo Xuan continued. "The soul can be divided or 'duplicated' into more clones that exist in different places at the same time but maintain a subtle connection. I haven't figured out how to describe it yet. 'Quantum entanglement' does not seem very accurate. Let's call it that for now!
"Above the Divinity Branching Stage is the Void Refining Stage. How should I interpret the word 'void'? Personally, I think it means' higher dimensions'. The Void Refining Stage means that the Cultivators can march to the higher dimensions as a life form of pure energy. Chances are that they can open wormholes freely and travel to every corner of the universe!
"As for the realms above the Void Refinement realm such as the True Immortal Realm and the Imperishable Realm, they should all be life forms of pure energy. Their different mysteries in the high-dimensional universe are not something that we, who are still trapped in the three-dimensional universe, can understand with our poor computational ability.
"In conclusion, the ultimate level that the Cultivators pursue in their entire life has always been to evolve from a pure body of flesh and blood into a life of pure energy. After a certain level is reached, it is not that the physical body is completely abandoned but that the physical body is returned to its essence — a shell!
"You must have heard a lot of ancient myths and legends, supernatural novels, and the like.
"In the supernatural novels, some of the mighty deities boast the techniques of 'three heads, six arms, and seventy-two transformations'. They can also enlarge and shrink their body freely. When they are big, they are as tall as mountains, and when they are small, they can crawl into other people's stomachs and do whatever they want. How do you explain that?
"From the material point of view, even if a person has trained himself to the highest level, it is impossible for him to enlarge or shrink his body like that. Where does so much energy come from in the cells and the mitochondria? How can material appear out of thin air? Even if it is possible to proliferate and expand, how can it be so fast? It does not conform to the fundamental laws of our world at all!
"It is easy to understand if we consider the theories of 'life of spiritual energy' and 'shell'. It is because the real body of the mighty deities is a cluster of soul. The different shapes of the seventy-two transformations, the enormous body that is as big as a mountain, and the tiny body that is as small as a bacterium, are all 'battle shells' that they have prepared for themselves. When they need one, they will fish the shell out of a certain 'dimension' from magical equipment similar to a Cosmos Ring, and then crawl into it with their soul to drive it!
After listening to his professor's detailed explanation of the levels of Cultivation, Li Yao was convinced whether or not his professor was up to something. He said sincerely, "Professor Mo Xuan, you truly deserve to be one of the best masters of the Xing Yao Federation. You have explained the levels that the ancient people classified with the latest theories!"
Professor Mo Xuan smiled and said, "We should not underestimate the wisdom of the ancient people, but there is no need for us to believe in the wisdom of the ancient people, either. In fact, I have always disagreed with the way of classifying levels passed down from ancient times.
"It is because our civilization of ancient Cultivators is actually a very abnormal 'limping civilization'. On one hand, we had just evolved from monkeys at that time and had not formed our real wisdom yet. On the other hand, we were 'stuffed' with a lot of knowledge that was far beyond our era by the Pangu Clan and the Nuwa Clan. The combination of the two made our ancestors worship the so-called 'training' and 'techniques' crazily. They added too many uncanny theories to the theories that they could not understand!
"Refinement Stage, Building Foundation Stage, Core Formation Stage, Yuanying, Divinity Transformation Stage … Because the five levels are relatively easy to reach, and a lot of experiment data can be accumulated, the ancient people's description is not wrong.
"But starting from the Divinity Transformation Stage, the rest is pure nonsense. I don't believe that there were so many experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage, the Divinity Branching Stage, and the Void Refining Stage fifty thousand years ago. Most of them are just rumors! Even if the ancient people did reach the level by accident, they would only know how it happened but not why it happened. It would be difficult for them to describe it to the people in the three-dimensional universe. Therefore, they could only talk nonsense. There is no reason for us to talk nonsense with the ancient people, right?
"What I want to say is very simple. In fact, there are only three major levels. Below the Divinity Transformation Stage, the body of flesh and blood is still the main level. Between the Divinity Transformation Stage and the Void Refining Stage, the body of flesh and blood is on par with the soul. After the Void Refining Stage and breaking into the higher dimensions, the soul will be the main level, and the body of flesh and blood will become a pure shell that is used as a tool to 'arrive' at the lower dimensions.
"Representative Lin, you are now in the Yuanying Stage, and your soul is already very solid. Occasionally, you can release powerful telepathic thoughts to interfere with the material world. If you continue your training and make rapid progress, you will be completely dominated by the soul in the end. Do you think it is inappropriate?"
Li Yao laughed dryly and could not help but touch his cheek. "The Divinity Transformation Stage is so difficult. I've never thought about it before."
"Not difficult, not difficult. Not difficult at all!"
Professor Mo Xuan bulged his eyes and said, "Don't be bound by the ancient people's ideas about training. The ancient training and the modern training are two completely different things!
"What did the ancient people know? For the ancient people, even 'flying in the sky' was extremely difficult. But with the advanced magical equipment today, even the ordinary people can fly in shuttles. With the help of crystal processors, they can also perform all kinds of soul-stirring, dazzling stunts that even the ancient Cultivators might not have been able to achieve!
"Flying in the sky is like that, but isn't it the same for the other training techniques and even the 'Divinity Transformation Stage'? There was no such thing as the Spiritual Nexus in ancient times. Naturally, it was extremely difficult for the Cultivators to allow their soul to leave their body and travel in the world! But today, we have the Spiritual Nexus, and the consciousness of the ordinary people can travel in the cyberworld instantly. Isn't it a kind of 'Divinity Transformation Stage', too?
"All in all, the old rules of training and the classification of levels are far behind the times. Maybe one day, anybody can enter the Divinity Transformation Stage without much trouble. As for the Yuanying Stage like Representative Lin, it will be much more convenient for you to reach the Divinity Transformation Stage! I've run some studies on that. If you are interested, we can have a good discussion after the first launch of the tinder! "
Li Yao did not know whether or not Professor Mo Xuan was speaking the truth, but he managed to say, "Alright!"
Ling Xiaole pouted and said, "Professor, I still think that you're exaggerating a little. It feels … awkward and weird!"
Professor Mo Xuan continued with a smile. "It is perfectly normal to feel awkward because we are talking about the future, a future that is far, far in the future. Think about it from another perspective. If an ancient person who lived fifty thousand years ago were to observe our era and our lifestyle and social form, he or she would feel extremely awkward and weird, too!
"Besides, both Miss Ling and Representative Lin are very successful people in the material world. As an agent of the Secret Sword Bureau or the captain of Team Red Lotus on Firefly, all your needs, both material and mental, can basically be satisfied in the material world right now.
"But what about most ordinary people?
"It is a pity that the desires of human beings are boundless. However we excavate the resources of the material world, we cannot satisfy everybody. Not just the Imperium and the Holy League, even in the Federation, many people are living in hardship at the bottom level of society.
"The material world is too small, too crowded, and too parsimonious! Let me give you the simplest example. Food, shelter, and transportation. Let's talk about the most basic housing. Do you know the housing price in the capital city right now? Most college graduates might not even be able to buy a house of one square meter in the capital city after working hard for three years!
"Think about it from the perspective of ordinary people. If you have two lives right now, one is purely material, where you live in a tiny nest with no hope for the rest of your life, and most of your salary has to be used to pay the rent.
"The other life is to enter the Spiriters' Realm. Even the college graduates who have just graduated can buy a villa with a garden at the extremely low price of 'virtual coins' and enjoy the life that only the magnates in the outside world can enjoy!
"As long as the simulation can reach a certain level, or even not 100%, it will be fine as long as it reaches 90%. What kind of life do you think an ordinary university graduate with mediocre intelligence and physical fitness who has no hope of making a name for himself in his life would prefer?
"For the government of the Federation, if part of the people are willing to live in virtual cabins for a long time, the pressure on housing, transportation, environment, and other aspects will be greatly reduced, and the goal of green, ecological, intelligent, and pollution-free development will be realized. The 'big city disease' will be cured without any treatment!
