Fantasy becomes reality?
Xu Xiaoshou didn't realize it. This concept sounded indeed crazy, but also vaguely familiar.
From the words of the dean alone, he felt that Elder Qiao's path was a bit like his own "painting mastery".
But there are essential differences between the two.
Mastery of painting is essentially to give one's own "fantasy" a substantive presentation, and then add a little spirituality to it, giving it more "autonomous consciousness".
But in the final analysis, these "autonomous consciousnesses" are still the consciousness of the body.
Just like the eight clones of the portrait, if Xu Xiaoshou could not control it through the air, it would be just a lifelike painting that transcended the confinement of paper, and it would still be a dead thing.
The path of Elder Qiao mentioned by the dean is more towards the spiritual formation, or in other words, the secret technique!
No matter what, when Xu Xiaoshou heard this, he felt like he had returned to his previous life, back to the time when he could barely move in the early days of the hospital bed and was still struggling with obscure physics and philosophy knowledge.
In his heart, the inherent impression of Elder Qiao's previous idleness was instantly refreshed.
At this time, Ye Xiaotian did not stop describing.
He looked at Xu Xiaoshou's eyes that pretended to be thoughtful, but were actually a little confused, as if he saw himself when he first heard these concepts, so he smiled and continued:
"According to what you, Elder Qiao, say, the 'map' of all things can be embodied in a traceable network of rules of heaven and even the holy way.
"The 'pattern' is for each of the rules, such as the fire avenue, etc.
"In addition, the growth rings of vegetation and leaves, and the veins of human body muscles and bones are all 'pictures' and 'patterns'. Changing these can change the essence.
After a pause, his voice became a little deafening:
"The essence of spirit refining is to evolve one's own 'patterns' and 'patterns'.
"The essence of the growth of all things is that they are also self-evolving into higher-level 'patterns' and 'patterns'.
"Once you master the ability to change these 'patterns' and 'pictures', a mortal can become a saint overnight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xiaoshou's hole suddenly shrank.
He suddenly realized why he felt strangely familiar when he heard those abstract concepts just now.
Not “proficient in painting”!
What the dean said is actually the core of "textile mastery"!
Only then did Xu Xiaoshou remember the illusion he had experienced when he had just obtained "textile proficiency".
There, everything has a hidden "line", and the rules of heaven and earth are formed into a "net" of rules that covers the entire continent. Destiny is more like an invisible big hand that transcends this.
As soon as the big hand moves, the wires and the net move, everything starts to move, like a puppet master manipulating a puppet.
And if you master these conceptual knowledge and have the ability to change the "lines" and "nets", then this person can become the master of destiny.
In Elder Qiao's concept, "grain" is equivalent to the "thread" in "Textile Mastery", and the "picture" outlined by "grain" is the "thread" woven in "Textile Mastery" "net".
The "net" can be small or large. The small one is a diagram of the veins of the human body's muscles and bones, the growth rings of vegetation and leaves, and the larger one is the net of rules and the net of the holy way.
"So, Elder Qiao had already realized the core of 'textile proficiency' when he was young, and resolutely plunged into this path?" Xu Xiaoshou was inexplicably shocked.
He felt that this was simply outrageous!
Are all people in the Holy Palace really of this level?
At that time, had the concept of Tianjishu taken shape? Elder Qiao dares to walk like this. Is there someone in front of him to lead the way?
Genius and madman, are they really just the same thing?
Ye Xiaotian seemed to be very satisfied with Xu Xiaoshou's reaction, because when he got these specific explanations from Qiao Qian's mouth, his performance was even worse than Xu Xiaoshou's.
He smiled and added important information and said:
"At that time, the Dao Palace Master was not yet famous, and you, Elder Qiao, were almost expelled from the Holy Palace because you were studying these things alone, which slowed down your cultivation.
"But he didn't give up and was still researching. At this time, he didn't even know that his concept had transcended the scope of the 'Spiritual Array'.
"Just many years later, among the ten masters, the master of the Dao Palace became famous all over the world for his 'Tianji Technique'.
"At this time, you, Elder Qiao, realized that the Holy Temple had gathered a whole world of geniuses to study these things that he carried alone all night long.
"That is the 'Tao Ministry'. The concept proposed by you, Elder Qiao, is roughly equivalent to the prototype of 'Tian Ji Shu'!"
It's so outrageous... At this moment, Xu Xiaoshou's heart was filled with only crazy thoughts.
Can Elder Qiao alone be able to match the entire Taoist department?
Is this a genius at the Holy Palace level?
"Where are his research results?" Xu Xiaofeng asked. He was thinking that since the master of the Dao Palace is famous for his heavenly skills, Elder Qiao has not really been stuck at the throne spiritual formation master level for so many years, right?
"He failed."
Ye Xiaotian said sadly, and then changed the subject:
"But this is our conclusion. You, Elder Qiao, are stubborn and have always believed that what he is studying is higher than the 'Tianji Technique' at a conceptual level, so it is difficult to make a breakthrough. This is not called a 'failure'.
"He also believes that the Dao Palace Master is indeed a genius. The 'Tianji Puppet' developed by the latter is a product on the same conceptual level as him... similar to artificial humans.
"So, you, Elder Qiao, never give up on the research on the 'Tianji Puppet', but he actually disdains the Tianji technique.
"And he also believes that, except for the first-generation Tianji puppets, all the things that the Dao Palace Master has settled on later are just products of the 'Tianji Technique'. On a conceptual level, he has already turned his back on them."
Speaking of this, Ye Xiaotian looked at the position in Xu Xiaoshou's arms, which was A Jie's position, and said: "So the only subject of your research for decades, Elder Qiao, is A Jie."
Xu Xiaoshou was silent after listening.
What the dean said was completely beyond his imagination.
He couldn't understand that the great elder who had been sleeping soundly in the mouth of Director No. 1 of the Lingshi Pavilion had such a big pursuit in his life besides liking to exchange some information for small change.
I am superficial. There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons everywhere in this world... Xu Xiaoshou felt ashamed for a moment.
"It's stupid, isn't it? He actually looks down on the 'Tianji Technique', thinking that it is essentially the same as the spiritual formation, except that one involves the earth and the other involves the sky, but the 'earth' and the 'sky' are only things of the same level. "Ye Xiaotian shrugged and said helplessly.
It can be heard that he once advised Qiao Qianzhi to seriously study Tianji Technique, because in this way, maybe a second Dao Qiongtian will be born in the world.
Xu Xiaoshou didn't think so.
Elder Qiao's philosophy described by the dean is very similar to "textile mastery".
If this is the case, it is normal for Elder Qiao to look down on Tianji Technique.
Because in "Textile Mastery", Tianji Technique is only part of the "Textile Way of Heaven" and is included in the basic knowledge.
If you really have great ambitions, you should really set your sights on the "textile world" and even the "textile world", rather than the mere "textile heaven and earth".
But this is the case, Xu Xiaoshou knows the hardships involved.
This is like practicing the ancient sword all the way...
You said that I want to learn "phantom swordsmanship", and everyone thinks that you may be able to succeed, because no matter how difficult this road is, there are people who have passed it.
But you want to say that I will definitely be proficient in the "Nine Swordsmanship", so I will also learn the "Nine Swordsmanship" from the beginning. How can this be effective in the short term?
Compared to the long journey of swordsmanship, decades of swordsmanship training can even be considered short-lived.
If you want to master the Three Thousand Swordsmanship, unless you are one of the Eight Reincarnated Masters, the proud man of heaven who is just cheating, otherwise no one in the world will dare to believe that you can achieve anything.
Elder Qiao's path is even more different than this.
Even if the Eight Masters are familiar with it, when practicing the path of ancient sword cultivation, there are still people leading the way, and there are goals to follow, like Mei's own people, like Yutu, like the shadow of the sword god Gulou.
The concept of relocation...
At least, Xu Xiaoshou had never seen anyone try this path except for his own "textile proficiency".
No!
Never heard of it, not even a legend!
"Madman..." Xu Xiaoshou muttered.
Ye Xiaotian nodded in agreement, quite agreeing.
No... At this time, Xu Xiaoshou was keenly aware of something slightly strange in the dean's words.
The Master of the Taoist Palace is indeed a genius. There is no dispute about this. He developed the first generation of Tianji Puppet, which was even recognized by Qiao Qianzhi as a "high-end product".
From this point, it is not difficult to see that the Dao Palace Master actually has more than just "Tianji Technique" in the conceptual realm, otherwise it would be impossible to develop the first generation of Tianji Puppet.
So to put it another way, the path of the Dao Palace Master may be at the same level as Elder Qiao's path, with different approaches but similar results.
But why did the first-generation Tianji puppet only try once?
This kind of "high-end product" should be perfected at an endless cost. The Holy Temple should not be short of money.
But why was it eliminated so quickly?
Dao Qiong Cang compares it with moving to a new house. He has no ambitions and doesn’t want to do it anymore?
He settled for the next best thing and chose the secret puppet that "will definitely not lose control, but the price is that it has no intelligence"?
"It's not that I can't, but that I dare not..."
Xu Xiaoshou felt for a moment that he had touched another secret of the world, but at this time, for some reason, his train of thought stopped and he could not continue at all.
Frowning, Xu Xiaoshou had no choice but to give up his thoughts.
He has already experienced similar feelings.
If there were no enemies nearby, such as Yu Lingdi, who was interfering, only the will of the Holy Emperor would be left, controlling the inertia of the world's thinking, preventing people from exploring the depths of this train of thought.
"If nothing else, does Elder Qiao often suffer from amnesia, or is it similar to amnesia, often forgetting his research results?" Xu Xiaoshou said very abruptly.
Ye Xiaotian was thinking deeply about how he could ask Xu Xiaoshou about returning to Ajie after he had completed his mouth escape technique. When he heard this, his childish eyes suddenly shrank.
"How did you know?"
He lost his voice, and as soon as he blurted out the words, his expression became serious, and he said with some emotion: "You really know a lot..."
"Haha." Xu Xiaoshou successfully verified his idea and thought that there is indeed a pitfall in this world.
No wonder Elder Qiao and others, as the fourth sons of the Holy Palace, want to run away from the Holy Palace and live in seclusion in a corner like Tiansang Ling Palace... The Holy Palace is too close, and someone is watching from above!
No wonder that when he was apprenticed, Mr. Sang instilled the extremely evil "cage theory" into himself who had no social experience without any explanation, without even considering whether he could understand it at the time.
Some things, you really have to wait until you are far away to look back before you can see the shape of the truth.
"Don't talk about this."
Ye Xiaotian himself understood the matter of the Holy Emperor's will, but he also knew that he couldn't even mention it.
He quickly skipped the matter and returned to the topic.
"Xu Xiaoshou, I am not telling you this to show off my past achievements, but just to reassure you.
"Just like how I feel about you, Elder Qiao, how your master feels about me, and how you feel about your master.
"Now that your Elder Qiao's research has reached a critical moment, he asked me for the 'Holy Source Crystal', only Ajie, you know... Oh, maybe you don't know, but I must say, there are not many He will never do anything that he is not sure of.
"Are you willing to choose to believe him?"
Sure enough, it came... Xu Xiaoshou knew that he couldn't skip this step. The fundamental purpose of the dean's mouth escape technique was to get Ajie back.
Even the Holy Origin Crystal was given to Elder Qiao...
As expected, the dean got the Holy Origin Crystal. Well, how did he get it?
Huang Quan must have been eyeing the Holy Origin Crystal, or maybe he was eyeing the dean as a whole, just like he was attracted to me at that time. After all, the dean is very good...
Ah Jie, do you want to give it or not?
Xu Xiaoshou was quite agitated and his thoughts were disorganized.
I have to say that Ye Xiaotian's words really convinced him.
If Elder Qiao was just an ordinary spiritual formation master in Tiansang Spiritual Palace, Xu Xiaoshoujuan would not be able to give Ah Jie back.
But after learning the true origin of Elder Qiao, and that his talent was even higher than that of the Dean and Elder Sang, and it was possible that by changing his path, he would be able to match the height of the Taoist Hall Master, Xu Xiaoshou really hesitated.
Perhaps Elder Qiao is the only one in this world who can cure A Jie.
But when I think about the risks...
No matter how high Elder Qiao's theoretical level is, his current practical experience is only that of a throne-level spiritual formation master.
The practice of his highest theoretical ideas has not been successful even for decades.
How could I, how could I dare to hand you over to him... Xu Xiaoshou held A Jie in his hands and hesitated.
Ye Xiaotian took in all this scene without making any judgments. He put his hands behind his back and slowly floated to the edge of the cliff.
Facing the whistling wind and sea of clouds, looking at the vast sky, earth and fog, Ye Xiaotian was silent for a long time, and said meaningfully in a calm tone:
"Every person who has not yet bloomed is either still dreaming in the day, or has walked at night with a candle, reaching the deepest part of the night when the oil and lamp have dried up...At this time, what will crush them to death, and only the darkness of extreme despair can save them It’s often the first ray of light in the morning.”
