Primordial Era: My comprehension is heaven-defying, I create the ability to transform into anything!

Chapter 43 Feeling Pain, Understanding Pain, Becoming Pain! Your "Great Records" is now complete!

"boom!"

At this moment, accompanied by divine patterns and golden light, it instantly blasted towards Jiang Sheng!

pain!

In just a moment, Jiang Sheng felt a tearing pain.

That pain was excruciating, like tearing your soul apart!

This is even more painful than enduring 100,000 years of torment in the underworld.

Pain beyond limits!

He finally understood the pain of the Ancestral Witch.

"This is really not something an ordinary person can endure!" Jiang Sheng grinned, this kind of extreme pain was really hard to bear.

Pain has levels. When it becomes unbearable, it leads to emotional breakdown. After the breakdown, people give up and think, "That's life, whatever!"

When the pain reaches a higher level, it activates the brain's protective mechanisms, leading to fainting.

Fainting is the best protective mechanism for oneself.

Of course, even if one faints, one will be awakened by the continuous pain, then faint again, and suffer again.

If the pain escalates to a higher level, reaching what's called trans-limit pain, fainting won't help. The brain's protective mechanisms will make you give up all thinking, leaving your mind blank, somewhere between life and death.

Of course, this is not the most serious problem. The most serious problem is the collapse of will!

When the pain you endure beyond your limits has reached its limit but you continue to endure it, that limit will be broken. After that, it is no longer something that can be solved by giving up or abandoning thinking!

Unless you have a truly unparalleled will, a steadfast Dao heart, and remain unyielding through countless tribulations, you might not be able to withstand that transcendent pain!

But this kind of willpower, which is said to be unparalleled, how many people actually possess it?

Unless a saint who has endured countless calamities, sufferings, and periods of utter annihilation descends.

Otherwise, even a Great Immortal would suffer a breakdown of will, and their innate, indestructible spiritual light would be obscured!

The consequence of a broken will is that one's mind becomes completely idiotic, confused and muddled, unaware of who they are, unaware of everything around them, and without any perception of anything around them. Even if the world is destroyed and the universe is reduced to nothingness, their true spirit cannot be brought back!

Even if they escape that transcendent pain, they will remain in this daze, forever sinking into despair.

This is the pain beyond the limits!

The punishments of the eighteen levels of hell are nothing compared to the unbearable pain!

The reason why Dijiang and the others were able to endure it was partly because after the pain index reached its peak, their minds went blank. After the super-limit pain passed, they didn't even know how much time had passed or what kind of pain they had endured. They only knew that it hurt a lot, so much that they didn't want to recall it or think about it!

On the other hand, it is because that transcendent pain ultimately did not break through that boundary.

On the other hand, it's because the duration is actually very short!

Yes, it's really short!

Dijiang and the others felt as if a long time had passed.

But in reality, it only lasted about fifteen minutes.

They may faint, give up thinking, give up, or become numb, but they can still get through this brief fifteen minutes.

However, Jiang Sheng is different...

"Damn you..." Jiang Sheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he could clearly feel the pain level increasing until it reached its limit.

He doesn't want to think; he wants to give up.

However, his passively activated spiritual energy allowed him to maintain absolute clarity of mind.

Absolutely!

Holy crap, that's absolutely amazing!

He began to doubt life, to question whether it was all worth it. Countless negative emotions arose, but as soon as they arose, he was brought back to his senses by the protection of the Lingtai Dharma and the Eastern Azure Lotus Treasure Banner, and was no longer affected by the negative emotions...

And so, he remained conscious, experiencing that beyond-limit pain second by second!

Why isn't it over yet?

Why am I not dead yet?

Why should I try to comprehend the Lingtai Dharma?

Why should I cultivate the Spirit Platform Technique?

Why should I stay conscious? Why can't I just die?

Death is the end of it all. Who the hell wants to suffer? I don't want to suffer!

Just for a sacred body? Is it worth it?

At this moment, Jiang Sheng's mind went blank; he really wanted to give up and not think about anything at all.

But he just couldn't do it.

He wanted to know exactly how much time had passed, but when he calculated it, he completely lost his composure.

One second!

It was only a second!

I thought about so much, why did only a second pass?

Jiang Sheng murmured in pain, uttering meaningless groans.

At this moment, he finally understood the true value of absolute clarity and the terrifying power of his spiritual platform technique!

Awakening from the pain that transcends boundaries.

But after finding out, he couldn't help but curse and wished he could go back and smash his past self's brain!

What the hell are you trying to comprehend in the Lingtai Dharma for no reason?

Without the Lingtai method, wouldn't this quarter of an hour have already passed?

Jiang Sheng went from being irritable at first, then to crazy, and finally to insanity!

In the end, he became hysterical.

He even felt that he was just one hair's breadth away from his will collapsing.

However, under the pull of the Lingtai Dharma, his will could not collapse.

He endured this torment, suffering unimaginable torment.

If childbirth is a level 12 pain, then the pain he is experiencing now is level 12 to the power of infinity!

What is pain?

Pain is physical pain, the injury suffered, the signal transmitted by the nerves, and also the torment suffered by the mind.

Now, Jiang Sheng is suffering from both physical and mental anguish.

Everything was shattered, and everything was put back together.

His soul was torn apart and then remixed.

His true spirit was crushed and then flattened again.

What is pain?

Pain is an illness, pain is ache, pain is trauma, pain is stimulation.

Bitterness is a taste, hardship, and emotion.

Pain is a physical sensation, while suffering is a repetition of past pain!

At this moment, Jiang Sheng was enduring pain while recalling the pain he had experienced before, which was a double torment!

What are the Five Poisons and Six Desires, and the Seven Emotions and Eight Sufferings?

What kind of thing is that?

What is this talk of human depravity, what is this talk of eternal damnation in hell?

What kind of thing is that?

All the suffering in the world is insignificant compared to true, transcendent suffering!

Stimulated by this extreme pain, Jiang Sheng only wanted to end his life.

Only death is true liberation.

"Two seconds..." Jiang Sheng's eyes were filled with pain and struggle, yet also with clarity. His lips twitched wildly as he calculated the time he had endured the pain.

He couldn't faint, he couldn't stop thinking, he could only keep calculating the time while feeling and understanding the pain.

Ultimately, it becomes suffering!

At this moment, Jiang Sheng felt that if he were given a copy of the Great Thousand Records now, he could even treat the Cang Dung Climbing the Steps as a basic attack!

The pain he endured transcended everything; it was pain itself, the very essence of pain, the ultimate suffering, the very depths of despair!

Jiang Sheng's mind was filled with random thoughts.

Just then, a cold notification sound rang in his ears.

[You feel pain, understand pain, know the nature of pain, and comprehend the true meaning of pain; you have comprehended the "Great Thousand Records"!]

[The Great Record: Only by experiencing pain, understanding its essence, knowing its true meaning, and enduring extreme suffering can one cultivate to perfection, embody the Great Path of Suffering, master suffering, and share in suffering!]

Your record of the universe is now complete!

You have become pain!
