Wandao long distance

Li Qi tried to "feel" the existence of this person named Ming Leshan.

Then, he felt it immediately.

An idea, a kind of...something I don't know how to describe.

Li Qi sighed, and then said: "Spiritual Dao, it's really..."

"For someone like you who regards material and spiritual as equal, it is indeed difficult to accept," said Ming Leshan.

In fact, it is not "saying". To be precise, it is an exchange of ideas.

In this place, there is no 'sense' of any kind.

Even more extreme than the desire realm.

There are all kinds of mental phenomena and mental feelings in the desire realm, but even these have disappeared here. Everything is just pure "concept".

This is also what Ming Leshan said, "It's hard to accept."

It's like a person who thinks money is important debating with someone who thinks money is not important.

No matter how they argued, there was no conclusion to be reached. The difference in the two sides' perception of value was so huge that both sides thought the other side was too weird.

Li Qi felt that a world with only ideas could not be called a qualified world at all, while the other party felt that it was meaningless for Li Qi to be entangled in a lot of trivial things.

But it doesn’t matter. Both sides are well aware of the existence of this difference and will not have any conflict because of it.

Seek common ground while reserving differences.

"So, why do you come to us? Few people will come to us." Ming Leshan asked.

"I have the same question. Why did you take the initiative to contact me?" Li Qi asked back.

"That's why I asked you, because I'm curious. I'm very curious about why you came, so I came to ask you." Ming Leshan replied.

"Well... I'm here to find something comparable to the Desire Realm." Li Qi said.

The moment he finished speaking, Ming Leshan disappeared.

Curiosity has been satisfied and the answer has been obtained, so there is no need to communicate with Li Qi anymore.

This even made Li Qi a little surprised.

This is a bit outrageous.

Lingdao really is...quite unique.

But maybe it's just the other person who is like this, Li Qi thought so, and prepared to look for what he wanted in this real territory of Lingdao.

Li Qi began to observe his surroundings, using his heart to feel the situation here.

This place is wonderful, because Li Qi discovered that here, there is no "distance" of any kind. He can perceive the existence of all "concepts" at the same time in an instant, but he cannot understand any "concept" specifically.

How to describe it... It's like looking at a menu, or like clicking options on the computer screen.

Is there a 'distance' between the contents stored in a computer?

Of course it doesn't exist.

However, the absence of distance does not mean that everything is piled up in front of you, because...'being close' is actually a kind of distance.

The current form is more like everything exists in your own "heart" at the same time, and what you want to recall or contact must be felt directly through your own "heart".

Then, you can experience it directly without any extra operations.

In between, there is no "matter" to hinder.

However, Li Qi clearly felt a gap.

It felt as if everything was tied with sandbags, just like sandbags tied to the side of a ship to cushion the impact of a collision with the dock. His huge ship could never really touch the dock.

Everything seems to be seen through the fog, and it is not clear.

Any impact and contact were tied with sandbags to reduce their authenticity.

Every word that everyone said was diluted in advance. Was it to prevent conflict? Or... was it directed at Li Qi?

Even the feelings between each other have become numb, some of the emotional impacts have disappeared, and the feelings themselves have been delayed.

  "Strange." Li Qi felt the surrounding situation like this, was it because he couldn't completely abandon the material? Or was there some other reason? And what about the other spiritual existences?

Li Qi demonstrated his excellent quality, which is that he was not ashamed to ask questions and wanted to find someone to ask what was going on.

Asking others is obviously a better way than guessing blindly.

But he found that... no one paid any attention to him.

  Damn it, aren’t you guys in the spiritual world a little bit ungrateful? After all, I’m still a second-grade master. How can you ignore me?

So, Li Qi prepared to make some noise and create some action.

But when he started to make a scene, he was shocked to find out...

Wait, what's going on?

Outputting distracting thoughts? That seems to be a method of the magic way. In the spiritual way, the concepts of all things are summarized and integrated, even "war" and "destruction" and so on.

Therefore, there is only one impact brought about by outputting distracting thoughts, and that is that Li Qi will be "classified" out and will not be able to influence other people or other ideas at all.

How can you hurt an 'idea'?

You can break down the mountain, but can you destroy the idea of ​​the mountain?

If you smash one mountain, there will still be another one. Even if you smash all the mountains in the universe, eliminate the existence of all "mountains", and make everyone forget the existence of "mountains", but in the face of the concept of "mountain", there will still be continuous "mountains" being created.

Mountain building will never stop, and raised ground will always exist. They are just the manifestation of the concept of "mountain". As long as the concept exists, matter will continue to imitate it.

So, what exactly is the concept of 'mountain'?

As an abstract concept, the idea has no intuitive expression. Since there is no intuition, even if we use logic to trace it infinitely, we will eventually find that it is indescribable and can only be "understood."

Therefore, in order to facilitate understanding, we need to give it an intuitive image, and this intuitive image is the material manifestation of this concept, that is, the "mountain" itself.

In the end, after all the twists and turns, you will find that in the world of the 'spirit', this kind of struggle is meaningless.

All people's consciousness and general concepts do not rely on any material entity, nor do they follow any material laws. They are completely separated from each other.

If Li Qi wants to influence others, he must think of other ways.

If it is just for the sake of "war" and "making a big fuss", then for the absolute eternal concept itself, this war itself is also motionless and eternal.

All things are the externalization and embodiment of their ideas in the process of movement and change. Therefore, when you really come before the "idea", you will find that the world is "static" in a sense.

So Li Qi sat down.

Since no one comes to talk to him and he cannot influence other things, he has to figure it out on his own.

Don't underestimate the second rank. Li Qi opened up his perception and began to feel these eternal concepts through the sandbags.

Even though it was so unreal, so vague, and like seeing flowers in the fog, Li Qi still began to penetrate these "concepts" through his senses.

The second-level person can easily define his own sense of time. Li Qi began to exhaust all the "concepts" he could come into contact with in this endless process.

How long did it take him?

Don't worry about it, no need to care.

It is seen in the collection, raising questions and making arguments.

Knowing what you have learned, you can supplement it with literature.

But Li Qi read everything in it, remembered everything he read, and used his huge information processing ability to forcibly understand all the things represented by the "concepts".

The saints of humanity have profound words and meanings. Even a simple sentence requires other people to think deeply and thoroughly, and to be able to reach the ultimate conclusion. They must carefully examine and select carefully from the hundreds of schools of thought, historical documents of all dynasties, and the principles of right and wrong, gains and losses.

Then, when faced with pure ideas, the so-called "subtle meaning" is more like a profound summary and metaphor of the ideas.

Li Qi started from this point and learned the ability of the great men to summarize ideas. He wrote down the ideas with his wisdom and insights running through the past and present, repeatedly examining and returning them to the essentials, not using empty words, but supplementing their intentions and words to support the classics.

Through this method, even if he cannot truly understand what the "concept" is, he can still forcibly summarize the characteristics of concepts and ideas.

then……

After a long time, Li Qi finally discovered the flaw in the "concept".

Ideas are perfect and eternal.

Therefore, the idea can even be said to be "absolute", and an "absolute" thing, like logic itself, will constantly separate its opposite due to its inherent negativity.

This is very simple. If the idea itself is absolute, infinite, and eternal, then the idea itself must contain the negation of the idea itself.

Otherwise, he would not be absolutely infinite and eternal.

If the idea itself contains the negation of itself, then the stillness of the idea will be broken.

Therefore, ideas are not completely static. Although the "idea" itself is static and eternal, there is still "movement" between ideas.

Through his own understanding, Li Qi began to realize that ideas are not intolerant of contradictions, but on the contrary, ideas are full of contradictions.

The mutual movement between "concepts" produces "contradictions", and the transformation of contradictions ultimately gives rise to "changes" and "possibilities".

A single idea is static and eternal, but a large number of ideas together are moving and contradictory.

And in this contradiction, the concept itself can also progress.

Mutually exclusive things combined together, different tones create the most beautiful harmony.

Is this what Lingdao considers to be a contradiction?

Li Qi started from this point, combined it with his own "contradiction", and then from the conceptual level, let his "Tao" gradually "penetrate" into the spiritual way.

At a certain moment——

Suddenly, Li Qi was completely immersed in the moment of "thought", and the "sandbags" or "gloves" around him became thinner.

Li Qi finally established an intuitive perception of the "concept".

He successfully established the point that "matter and spirit are of the same nature". Through the "contradictory" nature of the concept itself, he added the material cognition itself as a purely abstract empty concept into the nature of the "concept".

Thus, he finally regained the 'five senses' and the 'five aggregates', and was able to accept the existence of 'concepts' with his intuitive senses.

Li Qi opened his eyes in the world of "concepts".

The world is so peaceful and peaceful in the hazy white world where only ideas exist. As the dawn light gradually reveals itself, it gives people a sense of beauty that is difficult to describe.

But Li Qi didn't care about these. He just paid careful attention to his steps.

He could hear nothing except his own heart pounding.

  However, although he was careful, he was not afraid at all. At this moment, there was no room for fear in his heart. He only thought: Fast! Fast! Fast!

We have to hurry up and not let anyone notice!

He could clearly see the existence of other "concepts", and that was why Li Qicai had to hurry up.

Li Qi can now see the existence forms of all the 'high-level spiritual beings'.

If he were to describe it, the high level of spiritual power at this moment was simply... how to say it... If Li Qi had to describe it, it would be "arrogance".

Fortunately, they didn't come over because of their arrogance, so Li Qi was able to breathe as loudly as he did now.

The arrogant trick of the spiritual path is to severely "demand" and "restrain" oneself, strictly covering up one's own existence, until the "concept" forms a self-enclosed transparent small sphere around oneself.

In the middle of this small sphere, high-level practitioners of the "Spiritual Path" sit.

Self-righteous, conceited, and at the same time self-denying.

Those high-level practitioners of the spiritual path sit in their own "concept bubbles", looking down upon everything.

They believe that their own "concepts" can explain everything, so there is no need to be contaminated by anything in the world.

After all, things in the outside world mean nothing to them.

They think that their own "ideas" have interpreted the world. The world itself is inferior, and their ideas tell everything. Therefore, one only needs to read the "ideas" and there is no need to worry about worldly things.

They are invincible gods in that transparent world of ideas.

  That territory of ideas, no one can deny that it is their territory. Everything is within the territory, and the outside world is worthless, so how could they invade others?

As a result, these high-level spiritual masters feel self-satisfied and even "superior" from the bottom of their hearts.

For example, Li Qi now knows that Lingdao will not do anything to him.

No, that is part of the "superiority" of the spiritual path.

Lingdao is too superior to bother doing anything to you, all he needs to do is be complacent in his own bubble and think he is superior.

However, in Li Qi's opinion, what is the spiritual way superior to?

This arrogance made Li Qi frown, and it was also the reason why he wanted to be "fast".

Because...what Li Qi needs to do now is to 'burst the bubble'.

That’s right, Li Qi opened his eyes in the world of ideas, and he is now running in the world of ideas, approaching the central idea.

Once you get there, you can catch—

Li Qi's hand was caught.

Is there anyone else who can maintain materiality in the world of ideas!?
