Chapter 738: The Great Filter
The illusory figure was silent for a long time in the face of this question, but finally gave an answer that he did not know.
Gu Juan pondered for a moment, and then asked a question, "You don't know the answer, so in your cognitive experience, there has never been any living being who has been able to reach this realm?"
The illusory figure said, "I've only heard of it, but I haven't really seen it. ”
"Hearing is false, and even seeing is not necessarily believing, but some of the legends you hear naturally can't be true, and think about it further, with your level level, you should be able to stand tall and see far, so in your opinion, does the so-called eternal land exist?"
"I'm not sure, but I've been searching for the path to the Eternal Land. ”
Gu Juan shook his head, "You suddenly reminded me of something called the Great Filter. ”
"Big filter?"
Its tone was full of doubts, "What kind of cultivation weapon is this, and why have I never heard of the name that these four words represent?"
"Dude, you're otter...... The Great Filter is not a Dharma weapon, but a theory, a theory about cultivating to break through the realm and reach a higher level of life. ”
Gu Juan sighed slowly, and said in a somewhat melancholy tone, "According to the current situation, I can make a transformation of the big filter theory, which can probably be divided into several stages. ”
"The first layer of filtering, the emergence of a world that can be suitable for the development of life. ”
"The second layer of filtering can show the evolutionary process of intelligent beings, whether it is human beings or non-human beings, as long as they can give birth to wisdom, they can be counted in it. ”
"The third level of filtering, the heaven and earth where the living beings are located can be cultivated, and the possibility of moving towards a higher level of life can be born. ”
"The fourth layer of filtering, living beings can cultivate to the stage of your so-called Great Dao Evolution Method, the Cave Heaven Dharma Body, and after crossing this boundary, they will move towards the level where one person is heaven and earth, one flower and one world, and one leaf and one Sumeru. ”
"The fifth layer of filtering, in my cognition, has not been touched at all, and I even imagined what it would be. ”
"Finally, there's the sixth level of filtering, and it's a wish you've been looking for, but you can't seem to achieve anything...... Crossing the endless sea of suffering, reaching the other side of eternity. ”
"These are the six filters of spiritual life cultivation, also known as the six reincarnations, each layer is extremely difficult, and in the end, the one who can break through all the six layers of obstacles, break the shackles of the six reincarnations, and reach the other side of eternity, does such a creature really exist?"
The illusory figure pondered silently for a long time, and nodded slowly, "The statement of the Great Filter and the Six Realms of Reincarnation that you just mentioned really opened my eyes and brightened my eyes. ”
Gu Juan immediately showed a bright smile, "Do you also think that there is some truth to what I said?"
"What you say is not justified, but it is very reasonable. ”
"I'm glad to have your approval. Gu Juan bowed slightly to the illusory figure in front of him, and then continued, "However, in the big filter theory I proposed, there is another point that you need to think about seriously and pay attention to at all times. ”
"What is it?"
"That is the process of cultivating and evolving living beings, and it is definitely not a simple process of increasing difficulty, but it should be at some point when an insurmountable obstacle suddenly appears, blocking almost all living beings from the outside world, and it cannot be crossed for a lifetime. ”
The illusory figure's voice suddenly became low, "I don't really understand what you mean. ”
"If you don't understand, let's take a very simple example. ”
Gu Juan raised a finger as he spoke, "Maybe in your eyes, if a certain creature starts to cultivate until it reaches the entry stage, the difficulty of the accumulation of mind, spirit element, divine soul, physical body, etc. is one, and the accumulation that needs to be achieved from the beginning to the first breakthrough is ten, then it will take nine points of effort to achieve this goal, I will make this analogy no problem." ”
"It sounds strange, but it probably makes sense, you go on. ”
"Very good, let's let that creature continue to cultivate, the accumulation that needs to be achieved for the second time to break through the realm is hundreds, the third time is thousand, and the fourth time is ten thousand, and the accumulation required for each breakthrough is increasing tenfold, so when it breaks through the realm for the fourth time, it needs to accumulate nine thousand points to reach the goal, which is not much more than the first nine points. ”
The illusory figure was already completely immersed in thought, and after a while, he said, "But don't forget, with the growth of the level realm, every time that creature cultivates purposefully, the various accumulations it has obtained will also increase tenfold and hundredfold, so it is not absolutely impossible to achieve the next goal." ”
Gu Juan shook his head slowly, and sighed leisurely, "What I'm going to say next is what is really related to the Great Filter, maybe when that creature breaks through the realm for the fourth time, no matter how hard it tries to accumulate, it won't be able to touch the barrier that broke through the realm for the fifth time." ”
"Because between the fourth and fifth, the difficulty that may need to accumulate is not the 100,000 it imagined, but an increase of 100,000 times after the 100,000, so that the difficulty of the moat can be called despair, even unconsciously despair...... You know what I mean?"
The illusory figure was silent for a long time, only to hear Gu Juruo's voice echoing back and forth around him.
"This is the big filter, it may really happen at a certain stage of development, and if it doesn't pass through, then the future will be dark, and there is no hope at all......"
It suddenly spoke, interrupting the recollection in his ear, "The scene you described is too dark, but even if what you say is true, for the great cultivators of the true Great Dao Evolution Method, the transformation of all things, the inner heaven and earth are immortal, the body is immortal, the incarnate beings still exist, and the true spirit does not fall, so they all have a longer life to accomplish all this, instead of just closing their eyes in despair and waiting for death. ”
"Oh, the inner scene is immortal, the body is immortal, the incarnation is still there, and the true spirit is immortal...... This statement really touched my heart. ”
Gu Juan turned his head and threw the big filter theory he had just thrown out to the back of his mind, regardless of the illusory figure still thinking hard there, he shifted the topic to the transformation of all things without any sluggishness.
"There is still one thing I don't understand about the Great Dao Interpretation and the Transformation of All Things, that is, why do you want to let the creatures in the cave heaven practice, for you, why don't you keep a group of loyal dogs in your yard, it's better than raising a group of people who always have their own ideas. ”
"How do you know that there is no Cave Heaven Realm dedicated to dogs?"
The illusory figure didn't seem to have come out of the thinking of the Great Filter Theory yet, and said in a somewhat absent-minded tone, "I remember that there should be a lot of spiritual dogs in this heaven and earth. ”
