Cultivation is riskyThere were indeed many risks in cultivating, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
* * 1. Judging the risks from the difficulty of cultivating immortality **
1. * * The risks of cultivating immortality when it's easy **
- If it was easy to cultivate, a large number of people would flood into the cultivation world, resulting in a decrease in population. This was because people might put more energy into cultivating and neglect social reproduction and other matters. At the same time, resources were scarce. For example, special medicinal herbs needed for cultivation, immortal caves with abundant spiritual energy, and other resources would be in short supply due to the increase in demand. Society would also be in turmoil. People might give up their family responsibilities, work, education, and other aspects of development in pursuit of immortality and focus on their own cultivation and ascension. This would lead to the decline and decline of human civilization. It might also lead to various disasters and crises such as famine (because fewer people engaged in agricultural production) and social disorder (lack of education and moral constraints).
2. * * The risk when it is difficult to cultivate **
- If it was very difficult to cultivate and only a few people could successfully cultivate, there would be an imbalance of power. The successful Immortal Cultivators might exploit the ordinary people with their supernatural abilities, and the social class would be severely divided. For example, after a few geniuses or tycoons became Immortal Cultivators with their resources and talents, they might challenge the existing laws and order, triggering injustice and unrest in human society, and all kinds of conflicts and wars.
* * 2. Looking at the risks from the degree of publicity of immortal cultivation **
1. * * The risk of cultivating to the public **
- Once cultivation was made public, governments, religious groups, and the scientific community would intervene. The government would formulate relevant laws and policies to manage immortal cultivation activities. If it was not properly managed, it might cause conflicts between the people and the government. Religious groups might have different attitudes towards immortal cultivation. Some supported it, while others opposed it. This could lead to conflicts of beliefs, and in serious cases, it could even lead to religious wars. Although the scientific community would conduct research on immortal cultivation, there might be ethical and safety issues in the process of research. For example, exploring the principles of immortal cultivation might violate the bottom line of human ethics and morality, or uncontrollable dangers might occur during experiments related to immortal cultivation.
2. * * The risk of cultivating in secret **
- If immortal cultivation was secretive, the immortal cultivators would form a circle that was isolated from the world. It was easy for internal disputes to occur, such as fighting for limited immortal cultivation resources or secret manuals. They could also be invaded by foreign enemies, such as being hunted down by the government or attacked by other hostile mysterious forces. Moreover, due to the information blockage, their knowledge and vision were limited, which might lead to the backwardness of their cultivation techniques and ideas.
* * 3. Looking at the risks from the purpose and influence of cultivation **
1. * * The risk of cultivation with bad intentions **
- If the Immortal Cultivators aimed to compete for benefits, satisfy their selfish desires, and dominate the world, they would bring great harm to the world. They might use their power to kill people, rob people, steal resources, and tamper with history, causing human society to fall into chaos and terror. They might also change or rule the world by force with their own will, such as establishing autocratic dynasties, launching wars of aggression, and exterminating dissidents, which would shrink and degenerate the civilization of mankind.
2. * * Even with good intentions, there are risks **
- Even if the Immortal Cultivators had the goal of self-improvement, the exploration of the truth, and the benefit of all living beings, they might still face risks in the process of Immortal Cultivation. For example, when cultivating a difficult cultivation technique or transcending the heavenly tribulation, one might fail or even die due to insufficient ability. Moreover, when using the power of immortality to solve human problems, unexpected situations could also occur. For example, when treating diseases, the patient's condition might be aggravated due to improper control of the power of immortality.
