Chapter 457: Cultivation Is to Cultivate Myself
"Oh?" Lu Pingxi asked, "Why do you see it?"
This water bear monk is actually suspicious of him. Speaking of which, when people hear your name, they think you are a monster.
Water Bear layman said: "I have never heard of the name of Fellow Daoist Lin in Tianling Continent. This can only show that you are an overseas monster monk. And the fact that you are so powerful and do not join any sect also shows that you are Afraid that the monks will know your identity and hunt you down."
Water Bear's inference is completely wrong!
But you can't blame him, after all, no one would have thought that Lu Pingxi was a monk from another world.
Lu Pingxi did not deny this inference, he just asked: "Excuse me, what kind of monster are you?"
Water Bear layman said: "What kind of monster am I? Fellow Taoist, I think even if I say it, you won't believe it, I am."
"Water bear insect demon?" Lu Pingxi asked.
Water Bear Layman:?
He showed a look of surprise: "How do you know, fellow Taoist? My tardigrade insect demon clan is so tiny that it is almost undetectable, so there is no record of my tardigrade insect clan on Tianling Continent, and I am the only one in the world." I cultivated it into a golden elixir, so no monks in the world would recognize me as a demon."
Lu Pingxi touched his chin.
Tardigrades are the most tenacious creatures on earth. They can survive even in a vacuum. They are not afraid of high temperatures and cannot freeze to death even at absolute zero. However, they are tiny in size.
It is precisely because of its small size that this creature was not discovered by humans until modern times. Lu Pingxi has never heard of tardigrades being cultivated into spirits. If this creature is cultivated into spirits, its vitality will definitely be extremely terrifying. .
However, although tardigrades possess extremely terrifying vitality and can ignore all physical attacks, they cannot defend against mental attacks from the soul.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Pingxi concluded that the water bear layman was a water bear insect monster.
At the same time, Lu Pingxi also received new information. It seems that the so-called Tianling Continent and the earth should have some connection. Otherwise, how could the tardigrades on the earth appear there? Of course, it is not ruled out that tardigrades came to the earth from that world.
After all, creatures like tardigrades can survive in any extreme conditions.
The Water Bear layman looked surprised. He followed Lu Pingxi closely and then asked: "Fellow Taoist, what kind of monster are you? I see that you are so powerful. Could it be that you are also some kind of extremely rare monster?"
Lu Pingxi did not answer the question, but answered the question: "Layholder, have you ever heard of the inhuman theory?"
The water bear layman was completely confused: "What theory?"
He still couldn't understand the word theory.
Lu Pingxi explained: "You should know very well that humans call themselves humans and call all non-human intelligent creatures monsters to distinguish them, but in fact, there are also racial distinctions among all non-human beings. , are also divided into various categories and genera and species. Just like birds and turtles cannot be called the same species, snakes and fish cannot be called the same species, but humans classify all non-human beings as the same species. Demon, but I never thought that I also belong to this world, and that I am actually a kind of demon."
The Water Bear layman was a Golden Core monk after all. Although Lu Pingxi said a lot, he was not confused.
Humans are also a type of demon. Humans also have programs and species. Humans are also animals.
But because human beings think they are noble and great, they separate themselves from all things. This is not scientific and makes no sense.
What if some demons, Shuras, or aliens suddenly appear? Should they also be classified as monsters?
Lu Pingxi finally explained: "So, you can think that I am a demon, or you can think that I am a human. You can only say that I am an intelligent creature in nature, and I am no different from you or humans."
Lu Pingxi made a final conclusion. After all, he was not from the Tianling Continent. According to the Tianling Continent’s classification method, even non-human beings were called monsters. So he, an outside creature that was not from their Tianling Realm, should be called a demon. What to call it? Outsiders?
So there is really no point in exploring this.
Lu Pingxi continued to move forward. As he moved forward, fire pillars were continuously shot out from both sides, but they were all blocked by his chaotic aura.
The Water Bear layman followed Lu Pingxi and used his own characteristics to resist the high temperature. At the same time, he was also thinking.
Are humans also monsters? Are demons humans too?
Is there any difference between humans and monsters?
As a golden elixir stage monk, his IQ is not low, and his logical judgment ability is also good. He thought that the boundary between humans and demons was because humans were too powerful and exclusive, so they forcibly drew such a boundary, but for According to heaven, there is no difference between humans and monsters.
I fell into the misunderstanding of human thinking and thought about the problem from a human perspective, so human values became my values.
And I blindly learn from humans and imitate humans, but I don’t know that no matter how I imitate, I am not a human being.
Not only that, even humans are divided into tall, short, fat and thin. If a tall person tries to imitate a short person, he will definitely not succeed. A thin person cannot pretend to be fat if he wants to.
Therefore, the way of heaven is to make up for the deficiency with excess, and the way of man is to make up for the deficiency with excess.
You are short. This is your characteristic. If you want to imitate tall people, it will be very troublesome. But on the other hand, being short has its advantages. Tall people may even envy you.
Water Bear Monk began to think about these things. He felt that thinking about these things was very important, which would help him find his true self. After all, cultivating immortals is cultivating the truth, and cultivating the truth is cultivating me. If I can't even find myself, what else can I cultivate?
While thinking about this, his body protection technique suddenly became more powerful. He originally wanted to use the aura shield to protect himself, but gradually, the aura shield was no longer needed. The flame pillar shot over and couldn't hurt him at all.
This is normal. After all, it is a water bear insect monster, and it can naturally withstand such a high temperature.
They kept moving forward. Water Bear Monk rarely entered a realm under Lu Pingxi's reminder, but after a few steps, they suddenly came to a place full of flames.
There was no plant around. The land was red and still burning with flames. The mountains were emitting high temperatures and magma was rolling down.
All around, there were volcanoes!
In front of Lu Pingxi, two Yuanying period monks had begun to slow down because they were moving forward in the high-temperature fire pillar.
But Lu Pingxi and the water bear were getting faster and faster. Lu Pingxi had the aura of chaos, and the water bear had entered a special state. They were all oblivious to the blazing land.
Lu Pingxi and the water bear kept shortening the distance between them and the two Yuanying cultivators. The two Yuanying cultivators also noticed Lu Pingxi and the water bear approaching, and they immediately turned around.
"Stop!"
