Chapter 315: The Heavy Bomb Dropped by Fang Yi

Daojun Palace became noisy.

Many people were talking about it.

A female reporter standing at the back was surprised and said, "Master Fang wants everyone to understand the secret of immortality? He also said that as long as we understand a secret in the human body, everyone can achieve immortality? This... How is this possible!"

Another male reporter was also a little confused, "What secret is hidden in the human body that can make everyone immortal?"

An old reporter became excited, "Today we finally have some explosive news!"

"Yes, if it is confirmed to be true, it will rewrite the history of mankind!" A young reporter who admires Fang Yi very much said with a bit of excitement.

The other side.

Professor Meng took a breath and said, "This... this..."

Professor Lin also widened his eyes in disbelief. Although he supported Fang Yi, he really didn't expect Fang Yi to say something like "Everyone can live forever"!

Professor Meng paused for a moment, "...How is it possible that everyone can achieve immortality? Did Master Fang say something wrong? It's good enough that we can understand this kind of thing, how can we talk about everyone being able to do it?"

People from the Buddhist and Taoist circles were also chatting.

"Master Zhang, this!" said an older Taoist priest.

Zhang Daojin held his breath for a long time but couldn't say anything.

Taoist Priest Qiu smiled bitterly, "I believe that Master Fang can explain the secret of immortality. At least we cultivators can understand it more or less. But it seems a bit mysterious to make everyone immortal."

Zen Master Jiecheng was also dumbfounded. He did not expect Fang Yi to drop such a bombshell at the very beginning.

A nun next to him almost fainted: "We are not true Buddhas like the Tathagata, how can we be immortal?"

Ordinary people were equally shocked.

Chu Qing was stunned and asked, "Is Fang Yi kidding us? Everyone can live forever? Is this true?"

Professor Song was somewhat speechless and said, "I think this statement is probably half true. I am not questioning whether Master Fang can make people immortal. After all, he is an immortal. Maybe he can make a person immortal, but it is too incredible that everyone can achieve immortality. There are many factors that affect life span. How can it be possible to make everyone immortal just by discovering a secret of the human body?"

He immediately became curious, "What secret could make Master Fang say such a thing?"

Li Sisi was trembling with energy. "I really want to know what secret Master Fang is talking about. I'm so looking forward to it!"

Chen Jin was also talking to his daughter, "Master Fang is not going to stop until his words shock the world! I am looking forward to this sermon."

Chen Xiaoqing blinked and said, "I have personally witnessed Uncle Fang stop the super avalanche in Kunlun Mountain by himself. I believe that what he said is not groundless. Dad, I think the secret of immortality that Uncle Fang will explain today will shock the global biological community!"

Boss Wei said excitedly, "I wonder if I, Old Wei, can learn the secret of longevity from the real person."

…

Looking at the expressions of the crowd, Fang Yi was not surprised at all. He smiled and said, "I think almost everyone here has learned some knowledge about biology to some extent, right? Is there anyone who hasn't learned it?"

As soon as he spoke, the crowd became quiet.

Dozens of people raised their hands.

Fang Yi hummed, "There may still be some who are too embarrassed to raise their hands, but it seems that most people have learned some knowledge about biology. Even if they haven't, they have at least seen some in various newspapers, magazines, and short video bloggers' videos. So, I have reason to believe that no matter what the purpose of the people present today is, they still want to achieve true immortality in their hearts, right?"

The crowd below nodded.

Fang Yi smiled, "Then, before I tell you how to achieve immortality, I want to announce something, which is the topic I just discussed. The shocking secret hidden in the human body is also a mystery that science can explore but has not fully understood. I want to tell you solemnly now. Many people may not be able to accept it, but I still have to say that the secret of immortality is..."

Many people pricked up their ears immediately.

Fang Yi directly threw out an answer that almost made everyone faint, "Telomeres!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hundreds of thousands of people at the scene fell silent in an instant!

For a moment, the expressions of the densely packed crowd became stunned, and suddenly there was complete silence.

One second...

Two seconds...

Three seconds...

Finally, a shy-looking female biologist slapped her forehead and exclaimed, "Oh my God!"

A silent sigh came out of her mouth without any disguise.

Then, bursts of screams came out.

"this……"

"What did Master Fang just say?"

"Can someone repeat it again? I think I didn't hear it clearly!"

"The secret to longevity is telomeres? Isn't this pseudoscience? The biological community has previously confirmed that telomeres are not the key factor affecting longevity, but Master Fang said that telomeres affect longevity? Did I hear it wrong?"

"Yes, long telomeres are not the key to longevity. The New York Times once reported an interesting phenomenon. The telomere length of mice is ten times that of humans, but they do not show a corresponding lifespan advantage. This shows that telomere length is not the key factor in determining biological lifespan."

"More importantly, scientific research has found that long telomeres may increase the risk of cancer. Studies have found that cancer cells often have longer telomeres, which helps cancer cells to continue to divide and spread. Therefore, excessive extension of telomeres not only cannot bring longevity, but may endanger human health."

"Is Master Fang wrong?"

"Telomeres are really not the key to longevity!"

"Let's hear what Master Fang has to say next. Let's not rush to deny it."

"I don't want to deny it, but the connection between longevity and telomeres is untenable."

Zhang Daojin in the front row also had a helpless look on his face, thinking, it’s all over, this time the Zhenren’s reputation will be ruined.

Taoist Li's eyes also darkened. He thought that if Fang Yi wanted to explain the secret of immortality, he could just use the mysterious Taoist terms to chat about it. That way, no one would find anything to talk about. But he had to use biological terms. Isn't this just giving those biology researchers a topic to talk about?

Zen Master Jiecheng, Master Juncai and others also saw a dark cloud in their eyes.

Many of Fang Yi’s “fans” were so anxious that they nearly fainted. Mr. Fang, can we please stop making trouble?

Professor Meng suddenly laughed, turned his head and looked to the side and said, "Professor Lin, what do you think? Am I right?"

Professor Lin pretended not to hear and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Professor Meng smiled even more broadly, feeling that it was basically the same as what he had guessed before!

Chen Jin: “…”

Chu Qing: “…”

Professor Song: “…”

Almost everyone who knows a little about biology is confused!

Because the bomb that Fang Yi dropped was so speechless. These were things that had been verified by modern science and proved to be "pseudoscience". Now that Fang Yi brought it up, of course everyone would feel speechless.

But on the other hand, if Fang Yi could prove this point, then the entire biological world would be in an uproar and the future development of mankind would be completely rewritten.

But could this be true?

No one believes it.

A male researcher in the field of biology couldn't help but raise his hand. When he heard Fang Yi allow questions, he stood up and said, "Master Fang, I'm not questioning whether you can live forever, but telomeres have been proven not to be the key factor affecting longevity."

He is engaged in biological research, how could he not know this? Of course I cannot accept Fang Yi's point of view.

Fang Yi looked at him, not angry at all, and said with a smile: "Telomeres are certainly not the key factor affecting longevity."

This sentence made the male researcher a little confused. Didn’t you just say that telomeres are related to longevity? Why now you say it is not a key factor affecting longevity? This statement is contradictory!

Many people showed the same puzzled expression.

After making such a shocking statement, Fang Yi seemed very calm and casual, as if he knew that people at the scene would think so.

He continued calmly, "I know that many people cannot accept this. After all, as some people know, the New York Times has long confirmed that telomere length does not show an absolute advantage in lifespan. But what I want to say is the fact. Why do I dare to say this? Because everything I am going to explain next will overturn all of your cognition, or in other words, it will take your existing cognition to a higher level. You can also raise your opinions and views at any time, and I will answer them one by one. In the end, you can see if what I said is right."

Is that right?

That's definitely not right!

How could something that has been proven be overturned?

Everyone had the same idea in their minds. Even Chen Xiaoqing, Chu Qing and other people who were close to Fang Yi and admired him very much, could not accept the fact that "telomeres are related to longevity".

If there is something that is not proven by science, and no one understands what you are saying, then there is nothing to say.

But the key is that science has proven that unless you can give people a revolutionary answer, no one will believe what you say.

Another person from the biology field raised his hand.

This time it was an old professor.

Fang Yi took a look and said, "Please speak."

The old professor stood up, pushed his glasses, and said respectfully, "Master Fang, I respect you very much, but I find it hard to accept the point you just made."

Fang Yi still smiled and said: "Why can't you accept it?"

The old professor was stunned. "Didn't you just say that the New York Times has confirmed that the length of telomeres does not reflect the advantage of longevity?"

Fang Yi smiled even more brightly. "Didn't I just explain that telomeres are indeed not the key factor in longevity? I was talking about longevity, wasn't it?"

"this……"

The old professor was speechless for a moment.

The others were even more confused after hearing this.

Well.

Isn’t there a direct relationship between longevity and immortality?

If you think about it carefully, there seems to be a big difference between longevity and immortality.

But…but…

Many people were almost suffocating. They just felt that what Fang Yi said was wrong, but they couldn't refute it because they didn't know what true immortality was like!

"Professor Qin, please take a seat. It's encouraging to ask questions." Fang Yi smiled and looked at the old professor with admiration. "As I said just now, there is an essential difference between longevity and immortality. An immortal can definitely live a long life, but an immortal may not necessarily live forever. The main reason is that the goal of longevity is to die later, hoping to live longer, regardless of aging or not. Immortality is different. To achieve immortality, you must maintain your body functions to a certain extent. Only by maintaining vigorous vitality can you achieve immortality. Have you ever thought about why the human body ages?"

This is very interesting.

Professor Lin, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly raised his head and became interested.

Professor Meng also let out a cry of surprise, and his eyes became serious. He wanted to hear what Fang Yi would say.

Indeed, there is a big difference between longevity and immortality.

As for why the human body ages, science has actually explored several main reasons, namely cell aging, oxidative stress, genes, environmental factors and other factors.

The most important of these is cell aging, which is unavoidable.

One thing that suddenly occurred to many people is that there is a direct relationship between cell aging and shortening of telomeres.

In other words, the topic that Fang Yi just talked about did not mention from beginning to end that the length of telomeres is related to longevity or immortality. What he meant was that shortening of telomeres is related to longevity and immortality!

When they thought of this, everyone was shocked.

From this perspective, telomeres may really be the key to whether humans can live long?

The argument becomes interesting.

Everyone sat up straight, wanting to listen to Fang Yi's next explanation and see if they could truly discover the secret of immortality.

Yes, after Fang Yi put forward this point of view, everyone was no longer resistant and questioning as they were at the beginning, but instead began to seriously think about the information in his words. They knew that the real stuff was coming!
