Superego, which was the future, also needed to be chosen because it was an extension of the direction of one's cultivation and a projection of the end of the Great Way.
For example, if one set the highest point of one's future at Yang Spirit, then it would be very easy to separate one's spirit. It was only one step away from the present. According to Lou Xiaoyi's own estimation, it would take less than a hundred years to succeed. But the problem was that once one reached Yang Spirit, one could no longer go any further because one's superego had already been realized.
This was the most helpless choice for a cultivator. Unless there were some special reasons, such as not having enough time or special cultivation methods, and not being willing to go to the Realm of Decay, one would set one's future so short-sighted that it would be easier to achieve it.
For cultivators with a little ambition, they would set their future higher, at least to Chopping Corpses or the Realm of Decay, and then slowly realize it in their long lives!
For those extremely confident cultivators, they would set their future higher, such as Man Immortal, Genuine Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!
Just like these so-called evildoers who came to Interior Heaven, their goal of Unifying the Way was the Innate Great Way. In other words, their future vision was Golden Immortal, Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal! In the past, this would have been inappropriate and unself-aware. But now that the Great Way had collapsed, such a vision was truly promising and ambitious!
Different times meant different choices! In a time of peace, one's ideal was to be an official. But in a time of chaos, of course, one had to work hard to become an emperor. This was the so-called "times create heroes".
Therefore, no matter what, for those who ascended to the Immortal Realm, at the very least, they had the ambition to become an Immortal, which was why they could finally reach this step. The rest of the people actually died in the process. Their goals were too high, but they couldn't complete the Spirit Division for too long. They were dragged to death by their own ambition.
This was a contradiction that could never be reconciled. The higher the goal, the more difficult it would be to complete it. In the end, one might not even be able to reach Yang Spirit! If the goal was set low, it would be easy to achieve it. But if one wanted to go further after achieving it, it would be impossible, because one's future had already been achieved!
Among them, there were some differences between ancient cultivators and modern cultivators. If an ancient cultivator set his mind higher and farther, then he would have to spend a long time to split his spirit. If he could split his spirit, then he would have the possibility of beheading his corpse. If he couldn't split his spirit, then he wouldn't be able to reach his Yang Spirit.
Today's method was different. They only needed their own Avatars to become Yang Spirits. For example, if Lou Xiaoyi entered the Decline State, he would already have the conditions to become Yang Spirits.
However, the future height of the Surpassing Self in the present would determine the degree of difficulty in their future when they fought with others. At the same time, it would also determine their true future height!
Therefore, when the cultivators of today's Primordial Spirit moved towards the Yang Spirit and decided their past and future, they would choose the Great Principle Golden Immortal without exception!
This was like Buddhism's grand wish, the kind that didn't require any effort. It would be a waste not to think about it. In any case, there was no need to spend so much effort to transcend oneself like the ancient cultivators. Why not daydream?
The two directions of the ancient method and the present method diverged here!
It was very difficult for the Primordial Spirit of the ancient method to reach the Yang Spirit because it had two more Avatars than the present method. Most of the Yang Spirit cultivators who stayed in the Interior Heaven were making up for these two Avatars. However, once it was completed, it was possible to behead three corpses in a day. Moreover, from the quality of becoming a Human Immortal, it was even more powerful.
It was much easier for the present method to reach the Yang Spirit because it only needed to split its spirit once, its own spirit! It was easier for the Upper Yang Spirit, but after reaching the Decline State, it would take a long time. Without tens of thousands of years, it wouldn't even be able to touch the edge of the Human Immortal. Moreover, the quality of the Human Immortal who achieved this was inferior to that of the Corpse Severing.
This was what Lou Xiaoyi had learned from various aspects over these years. From the Primordial Spirit to the Yang Spirit, and then to the first severance, he hadn't thought about it in depth. He only had a vague idea of it, but now, in order to reduce the need to think about it, he had no choice but to put all this on the agenda. Moreover, it had to be resolved immediately.
Because he didn't know how long the Fourth Ancestor White Tiger would imprison him. For these second severance old monsters, especially the old monsters that were born from strange beasts, they had a lifespan of tens of thousands of years. It was normal to imprison someone in a small black room for a hundred or eighty years, right?
Even in the domed ceiling, for committing such a crime of defying the grand ancestor, it was normal for the Primordial Spirit to be imprisoned for a hundred or eighty years. Since he could be imprisoned for so many years anyway, and had nothing to do, why not take the opportunity to create a Superego?
It was for the sake of the order of the upper cultivation levels that should have been there in the first place, and also to reduce unnecessary suffering!
This was Lou Xiaoyi's true thoughts. In this period of time, he had been forced to act against his will too many times. It was like he had seen a ghost!
He had been messed with by Xi Zhao, by the Three Qins, and now by the Fourth Ancestor! Was this a case of shooting the bird that stuck its head out?
Now, the question before Lou Xiaoyi was, how should he choose this future self?
Sun God? Half Immortal? He definitely couldn't choose these, because with his messy cultivation levels, he really couldn't determine what position he was in! Don't choose the future, and end up choosing the past, right? After all, he could already be considered to have killed a corpse using the ancient technique!
Thus, his choices were actually very narrow. Human Immortal? True Immortal? Golden Immortal? Golden Immortal?
For the sake of doing evil deeds in the future, would he be able to do as he wished if he didn't stand at the position of a Golden Immortal?
For the sake of freedom in the future, to not become a tool of others, to live a carefree life, would he be able to do it if he didn't become a Golden Immortal?
For the sake of passing down the legacy of the Dao, in the current situation where the orthodox Daoism was strong and the Sword Vein was weak, to maintain the Swordsman's eternity, wouldn't a Golden Immortal be able to withstand it?
For the sake of the Sword Vein, the two restless ancestors, the General, the Great Emperor, and the Crow Ancestor, wouldn't a Golden Immortal be able to withstand the debts and sh * t?
For the sake of the thirty-six Connate Great Daos, it was like thirty-six steaming roujiamos. Such an incomparable temptation, wouldn't a Golden Immortal be able to eat it?
For the sake of making one's own voice during the change of the era, to not be suppressed and drowned out by others, for the sake of long-term peace and stability for the next few million years after the change of the era, wouldn't a Golden Immortal be able to withstand it?
Although he was a transmigrator, his pride was integrated into his bones and blood. Although he rarely showed it, when did his actions not secretly show his supremacy? To do this in the team of Immortals, one had to be a Golden Immortal!
In the two thousand years of his cultivation, how many things had he done that were impossible in the eyes of ordinary people? Now, even those Buddhist Daoists and Yang Gods couldn't understand an existence like him. His luck wasn't that omnipresent, but it was never lacking during crucial moments!
With all of these added up, Lou Xiaoyi finally decided his future beyond himself …
Then let it be the Three Graces!
The Crow Ancestor took a step back, but he took a step forward instead!
If the little pawn sank to the bottom, would it be over if he didn't clean up the chessboard?
