Cultivating the Dao Through the Mind: Who'd Choose Death If They Could Live?

[Slow burn, xianxia, pseudo-ensemble cast, transmigration and rebirth, I’m the weakest among a group of big shots, returning to the past, glimpses of the future, everyone in this group is one of my alternate accounts]

Since the birth of qi-refining cultivation, it has evolved from seeking proof within oneself, to relying on nothing external, and then to borrowing the power of Heaven and Earth.

Now that Heaven and Earth have changed, ancient cultivation techniques, and those from even earlier times, have become difficult to practice.

So some people have struck out on a different path, relying on external aids such as formations, pills, and spiritual materials to assist their cultivation.

But resources are limited, while human desire is endless, and these materials will eventually run out. So others have begun exploring a new path of cultivation that avoids external aids, instead relying on intangible things such as rituals, thoughts, and solemn vows, in the hope of ascending to even higher realms.

Yet as soon as this method emerged, sensitive high-level cultivators sensed that Heaven and Earth were brewing a great terror.

At this very moment, an outsider from beyond the heavens was born into this world, setting off a strange and uncanny tale of the Immortal Way.
