I attained immortality in the real world.

The world is like a dream.

Behind the old man riding the ox, Zhuangzi, half-asleep, opened his eyes: "So-called insight is nothing more than seeing oneself, seeing heaven and earth, and seeing all living beings. The Buddha's words are not wrong."

The Buddha lowered his eyes and nodded: "Only I see myself. What I feel is the world I see. Seeing all beings can bring great wisdom. The suffering of all beings is my suffering, and the sorrow of all beings is my sorrow."

Laozi, riding an ox, said: "Man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, heaven follows the Tao. However, the Tao cannot be named. The rest is merely a description of the Tao. For example, the changes of Yin and Yang give rise to Taiji, Yin and Yang give rise to the Four Symbols, and the Four Symbols give rise to the Eight Trigrams."

A doctor dressed in Hanfu behind Laozi said, "The Dao cannot be named. Those who cultivate the Dao should possess the soul of a person, the soul of the earth, and the soul of heaven."

Confucius, dressed in a Confucian robe, said: "The Way of Heaven is formless and eternal, but the Way of Man is orderly, with rules and regulations. In the barbaric era, the order of eating determined rank, and later, feather ornaments, tooth ornaments, crowns and clothing were used to distinguish rank. The order of the Way of Man is ritual, which is orderly without being wasteful. This is the application of the Way."

At the same time, a man dressed in Hanfu official robes behind Confucius said: "Humans can influence the will of Heaven, and Heaven can unite with the hearts of men; the way of humanity is the way of Heaven."

Each of the illusions of the Great Yellow Emperor Zeng Tian had unique insights; they were thoughts, yet they were also manifestations of a single thought of Chen Jing by those who would leave their mark on the long river of history.

Wisdom sparks when they collide. Phantom was born from this land and is a leader of the times. Together, they are fully aware of the problems left behind by the Green Emperor.

[Dharma Appearance——Qing Emperor! 】

Chen Jing sat back down under the thousand-year-old peach tree. One after another, the phantoms dissipated like bubbles, merging into the three phantoms at the front, until only the phantoms formed from three peach leaves remained.

The chaotic thoughts became clear and lucid, and the original main consciousness condensed. Looking down at the three people, he asked, "Why are there so many cultivators on this land?"

The three are no longer a specific phantom in the long river of history, but a collection of the wisdom of a school of thought.

The phantom riding the ox, half-lying on the ox's back, said: "It is the Dao. This land has the concept of the Dao, and the people of this land naturally have the consciousness of pursuing the Dao."

The imposing scholar phantom bowed and said, "It is enlightenment. The sages of the third realm look down upon the world and use their enlightenment to point out the direction, opening wisdom and preventing ignorance."

The phantom of the Buddha with a ushnisha on his head and body pondered, "It is cultivation. Cultivation in the three realms is to elevate the race. The scriptures are passed down through generations. Although sentient beings have not yet reached the third realm, they have already begun cultivation."

Chen Jingzhu paused for a moment and said, "The Dao, education, cultivation—the people of this land have unknowingly begun to cultivate, unlike the Moon Palace's biotechnology that transforms the body into celestial beings, but rather into celestial beings at the level of thought, right?"

"Why has the theory of the three realms of India fallen to this level? It is because the study of scriptures has declined."

The phantom of the Buddha looked sorrowful and covered his face with a sigh: "It is all because Mara has corrupted the Dharma. Although I have the wondrous treasure of knowledge, people respect me without learning, and my shaved head resembles a fleshy protuberance, and my crippled body resembles asceticism. They seek suffering through suffering, not the Way through suffering."

"Although I have a precious raft to save the world, there is no one to save. People are constant and unchanging, and cannot transcend this."

The old man riding the ox shook his head slightly: "This is spoiling. All things have yin and yang. All the boundless light belongs to you, and people will hide in the shadows. They know good but not evil. You are nothing but hypocritical saints. The raft can be built, but people need to find it. How can you save people if you don't believe in them?"

The Confucian scholar nodded: "The classics and historical texts are kept on high shelves, not even worth a single sheet of scrap paper. What the Daoist master said is absolutely right. Even though Confucian scholars are good at governing the world, there are times when they disrupt the law."

The old man riding the ox replied again: "If there were no Mara in the world, everyone would be Mara."

The Buddha looked up at the sky and sighed, "From the beginning of the Azure Emperor, through countless generations, humans became gods, and a hundred schools of thought arose. My two fellow Daoists cannot know the weakness of my power."

"Pfft..." The three phantoms burst like bubbles, leaving only three peach leaves to fall.

The three phantom imprints were left on the leaf network, transforming from a temporary mental model into a permanent one.

The Azure Emperor's question has been answered. The Celestial-Human Approach of Moon Palace Biotechnology is actually the cultivation approach of the Third Realm. People have long unknowingly embarked on the path of cultivation, and this unconsciously opened path of cultivation is—thought.

People tend to ignore things they take for granted, just as they ignore air.

Compared to consciousness, the mindfulness of thought (思修) is even more ethereal and hazy. It is a mode of analysis of worldly affairs by consciousness, and even the distinction between different realms is not clear.

Environment 0: This is an environment where the basic needs of organisms are met. They are driven by self-interest and avoid harm, and their behavior is black and white. Organisms like paramecia are relatively in environment 0, while most animals exist in an environment between environment 0 and environment 1.

The first realm is the ability to understand that things have two sides and that there is a change of yin and yang. The creature closest to the first realm is the human being.

Things can be divided into complex and simple, and people can also be of different kinds. When faced with complex things, some people stubbornly cling to their thinking and fall to the first level, while others realize the changes of Yin and Yang and strive to make things work in a direction that benefits themselves, thus reaching the first level of thinking and cultivation. There are even a very few geniuses who have touched the threshold of the second level.

The second state is being able to break free from one's own habitual thinking and consider one's own problems from the perspective of others.

It doesn't mean simply putting yourself in someone else's shoes, but rather having multiple thoughts working simultaneously, like using the Wen Zong Xiang technique, while the main consciousness is still operating.

The third realm is that my thoughts are the thoughts of the race, and the thoughts of the race are also my thoughts. Only when billions of living beings in the long river of history have turned into phantoms can it be considered that the three realms of thought cultivation are complete.

"At this moment, I used external objects to condense the image of the third realm. Si Xiu has the potential of the third realm, but he uses the thinking model of the first realm and can only exert the level of the second realm or above."

“The ancient sages had efficient thinking models and did not evolve into countless individuals with one level of thinking. They did not inefficiently acquire wisdom through discussions. As long as the thinking model was completed, it was the perfect third level in the eyes of the ancients.”

"The third realm may or may not exist in the real world, but our current wisdom is sufficient. We can slow down the construction of mental models, but the authority to act as God will expire if we don't use it soon."

"........."

Lucheng, Wanxiang Laboratory.

The hatch of the dimensional pod opened, and Chen Jing pulled out the life-sustaining IV tube and stepped out of the pod. His body was emaciated and emaciated, like thatch under the dead wind in winter, but his steps were not unsteady at all, and his eyes were clear and bright.

He looked up at Wan Xiang and instructed, "Notify Yao Jing, Meng You, Lai Ming, Fang Xin, Xu Zui, and Yao Zhi that I have ended my seclusion!"

Although the Wanxiang Laboratory was of average standard, the three laboratories still moved their main facilities there, and even the four people from Yaojing moved to the Wanxiang Laboratory to live permanently.

The six people rushed over as soon as they received the notification. There was still half a day before the third-generation Metaverse Capsule was released. Too many things had happened in the past eighteen days, and too many things needed to be dealt with.

Yao Jing pushed open the door and entered, then blurted out upon seeing Chen Jing, "You... have already broken through to the third realm?"

Immediately afterwards, the other five people also entered the cultivation room. Their appearances did not change drastically like Chen Jing's. However, Meng You was followed by an innocent and carefree little boy.

Chen Jing paused for a moment before replying, "I suppose so! But as long as a person is alive, they're not truly in the third realm." (End of Chapter)
