Li Yao heard her eloquent words, which were completely different from before, and immediately understood that these words were probably not hers, but a very popular theory in the True Human Empire, and perhaps a "brainwashing" technique that every immortal cultivator must accept. .
Li Yao was really curious about the theories of immortal cultivators.
In order to maintain such a huge country as the Real Human Empire, countless immortal cultivators had to make sacrifices one after another.
Even after enslaving countless ordinary people, he still regarded himself as the "guardian of human civilization". , behind such shamelessness, there must be a self-justifying theoretical system to support it, that is, the "Tao Heart" of the immortal cultivators is the source of their strength!
If you can explore the Taoist mind of immortal cultivators, you can find the source of their power, analyze and study it, and come up with countermeasures.
This is the battle between the Federation and the Empire!
This is a great opportunity that must not be let go.
Li Yao needs to learn how the immortal cultivators brainwash themselves into such evil and natural ideas!
With a solemn expression on his face, he bowed deeply to Tang Qianhe and said respectfully: "Junior seems to have grasped something, but the key point is still unclear.
I wonder if Senior Tang can shed some light on the true meaning of the path to immortality, including The relationship between ordinary people and practitioners?”
Tang Qianhe's status was the lowest among the three immortal cultivators.
Li Yao was a senior, and he flattered her without leaving any trace, which made her very useful.
Tang Qianhe raised his head and cast a pleading gaze on Su Changfa.
Su Changfa observed the two of them coldly not far away, coughed slightly and nodded.
In their plan, Li Yao is not a temporary use, but a long-term investment, relying on him to invade the Feixing Realm.
His identity, cultivation, and handle make him the most suitable "leader".
At least until he meets the next more suitable candidate, he is still extremely valuable.
If Li Yao could be completely brainwashed into becoming an immortal cultivator and willing to do things for them, his initiative would be much stronger.
Of course it would be better!
After receiving the captain's consent, Tang Qianhe smiled and said: "Okay, since you have the intention to change your mind and start a new life, we are naturally willing to help you!"
"Let me ask you a question first.
What do you think is the most important thing for a human being, the body or the soul?"
Li Yao blinked, not knowing how to answer this question, which would be more in line with his current identity.
Without waiting for his answer, Tang Qianhe said again: "Or, let's ask another question.
In your Feixing Realm, are there ghost cultivators?
That is, after death, the soul is immortal and attached to some magic weapons and puppets, and continues The kind that exists!”
Li Yao nodded: "Yes, there are many ghost cultivators in our Feixing Realm.
Everyone is not surprised by them and treats ghost cultivators as the same kind."
"That's it!"
Tang Qianhe gave a high-five and said quickly, "Ghost cultivators use metal bodies and use crystal brains to think; humans use flesh and blood bodies and use brain cells to think!
Two existences with completely different appearances are regarded as the same kind!
" "For another example, do you know that in the ancient cultivator era 40,000 years ago, there was a magic called 'soul transfer*', which could transfer the soul of a person into the body of an animal and exchange it with the soul of the animal?
" "Suppose that one day, you are captured by an unparalleled cultivator for experimentation, locked up with a monkey, and exchanged your soul with 'soul transfer*'.
Your soul is imprisoned in the monkey's body, but the monkey's soul is imprisoned.
In your body, then who do you think is more qualified to be called a 'human', you or the monkey?"
"Of course it's me!"
Li Yao blurted out, "Don't talk about monkeys, even if I am a cow, sheep, pig, or dog, I am still a real human being!"
"Yes, we have the same view.
This is the only conclusion reached by the world of immortality after thousands of years of speculation!"
Tang Qianhe said with a smile, "I gave these two examples just to illustrate that what can truly define a certain being as a 'human' is neither his genes nor his flesh and blood, but his soul, his entire being."
A collection of spirit, will and memory!”
"Genes can be screened, modified and mutated; a flesh and blood body is just a shell.
Even if it is replaced with a new one made of metal and crystal, its essence will not change!"
"After cultivating to our level, we can already stimulate genes and cells, and carry out preliminary transformation of the cells around the body, turning them into something completely different from their 'natural form'!"
"Could it be that after undergoing extensive modifications, growing fangs and scales, or having three-lobed lungs, two hearts, and two brains, we are no longer human beings?"

Li Yao shook his head and said sincerely: "Of course not!"
On this point, he agreed with the immortal cultivators.
After reaching the pill-forming stage, the ends of the cultivator's spine begin to expand, and a second brain slowly grows.
At the same time, the functions of the internal organs can be greatly strengthened, and a brand new brain can even be born through the practice of certain special exercises. organ.
Li Yao's "Cell Annihilation Cannon" is the most typical example.
It is impossible for ordinary people to grow crystal clear "crystal nodules" in their palms and chests!
From a morphological point of view, Li Yao, who has stimulated his prehistoric cells to the limit, is indeed completely different from ordinary people.
But it would be ridiculous to say that this does not count as a human being!
The essence of human beings is the soul rather than the body.
This is the current mainstream view in the three realms of Tianyuan, Feixing and Blood Demon.
It is also the theoretical basis for the establishment of the "New Federation".
Li Yao has always been a staunch supporter and promoter of this theory, and his understanding of this theory is even deeper than that of Tang Qianhe.
As early as outside Tongtian City in the Blood Demon Realm, he had used this theory to convince Jin Xinyue, making Jin Xinyue completely understand his identity.
Playing this trick in front of him, Tang Qianhe was really out of his way!
"So, as long as you have the soul of a true human being, you can be considered a human being no matter what your appearance is, whether it is flesh and blood, metal puppets, or even more bizarre forms, right?"
Tang Qianhe asked with a smile.
Li Yao obviously felt that there was a trap in this sentence.
He thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of a flaw.
He nodded slightly hesitantly.
"Then, the reverse can also be true?"
Tang Qianhe's eyes were shining with dangerous light, "The essence of human beings is not the body, but the soul.
Although those ordinary people have bodies that are almost identical to ours, they do not have real souls, so naturally they cannot be regarded as real human beings!
It's like using 'soul transfer*' to transfer the soul of a monkey into a human body.
Of course it's not a human, it's just a monkey that looks like a human!"
Li Yao was dumbfounded, this, this, is this also okay to explain?
He hardly needed to pretend, and really stammered: "Tang, Senior Tang, how do you confirm whether a person has a 'real soul'?"
"It's easy!"
Tang Qianhe smiled and tapped his eyebrows, and said, "Look at the spiritual roots!
As long as you awaken your spiritual roots, master the ability to absorb the spiritual energy of the world, and are qualified to fight for human civilization, you have a true soul!"
"Otherwise, what qualifications does a waste that can't even awaken its spiritual roots have to be called such a great title as 'human being'?"
"Remember the example of the parasitic wasp I just mentioned?
Many times, within the host body, the eggs of the parasitoid and the eggs of the host are raised together.
Even the shapes of their newly exploded larvae are very similar, but the essence But they are two completely different species!”
"The same goes for our relationship with ordinary people!"
"Perhaps when our body is first born, it goes through a stage where the spiritual roots have not yet awakened, just like the egg form of a parasitic wasp and a host."
"At first glance, we were no different from ordinary people back then!"
"However, after undergoing extremely harsh training, some of them will eventually stand out, break through their limits, awaken their spiritual roots, and realize the responsibilities, obligations, and honors of being a member of human civilization!"
“Only these people are ‘parasitic wasps’ and are qualified to be called ‘real humans’.
This is also the origin of our name ‘True Human Empire’!”
"In the empire, everyone is divided into two categories.
Practitioners like you and me who have awakened their spiritual roots are called 'real people'.
Only real people are qualified to become citizens of the empire and are the pillars of human civilization!"
"As for those wastes who have been practicing for more than ten years and are still unable to awaken their spiritual roots, of course they are not qualified to be called 'human beings'.
We can call them 'humanoids' or 'original people'.
They are somewhere between cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs and real people. " Even though he knew that the other party was brainwashing him, Li Yao still felt as if his outlook on life had been greatly impacted, and he cried out that he couldn't bear it.

Tang Qianhe said proudly: "You have been brainwashed by the pedantic concepts of the cultivation world for decades.
Do you think what I say is all fallacies and heresy, and extremely ridiculous?"
Li Yao shook his head hastily and said with an apologetic smile: "That's not true.
I just think that there is a difference between ordinary people and cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs.
Cows, sheep, pigs and dogs can neither think nor speak.
Ordinary people can't think or speak."
But you can communicate freely with practitioners.”
"The most we can say is that these 'original people' are more humane."
Tang Qianhe sneered and said, "There are not many animals that understand human nature.
Cats and dogs are very understanding of human nature.
Many people like to keep them as pets.
After a few years of keeping them, they will be able to have a close connection with their owners and understand the meaning of their owner's words and actions. " "Original humans, at most they are just upgraded versions of cats and dogs."
"By the way, in the history of your flying star world, is there such a thing as an 'extreme animal protectionist'?
It means that you like to raise cats and dogs, and gradually become psychologically alienated, treating cats and dogs as your own kind or even your children. , turning his hobbies into the moral high ground, climbing up to show off his power, not wanting others to kill cats and dogs, using extremely overbearing methods to stop others, and putting the rights of cats and dogs above the rights of real humans!
" Li Yao blinked his eyes and nodded: "Not only did it happen in history, but it also exists now, and it is becoming more and more popular!"
"That's it!"
Tang Qianhe snorted coldly and said, "In the eyes of us cultivators, those cultivators who pretend to be benevolent and righteous and whose mission is to 'protect ordinary people' are just another form of 'extreme animal protectionists'!"
