It should be said that ghosts are the most surprising discovery that Mo Chengjun made after traveling to this world.
Because this involves a subject that countless great figures, including wise scientists, philosophers, theologians, etc., wanted to get involved in before he traveled through time, but could not find a way.
That is, after death, what is left?
The physical aspect is different. It will undergo a series of processes such as decay, return to dust, and merge into the earth again.
But what about the soul?
Does it really exist?
Where did it go again?
There is a saying that there is nothing important beyond life and death, and these questions confront death.
However, even in the age of science and technology, human beings have been able to go to heaven and earth, but they still cannot understand the world after death.
It was like a restricted area of scientific and technological civilization, firmly blocking all detection eyes.
But things are different now.
Nowadays, the Yin Earth and ghosts can almost appear openly in human sight. Even mortals already know that when people die, they will become ghosts, enter the Yin Earth, and live a long life.
Then another question arises, what if the ghost dies?
What will be left after the ghost dies?
First of all, ghosts are mortal. Even if they are free from illness and disaster, they still have a long life and will die when the time comes.
Secondly, after the ghost dies, there is nothing left?
Once the soul is gone, is there no remnant left?
Mo Chengjun didn't know it before, now?
In fact, he doesn't know for sure, but he has an incredible guess - when a ghost dies, he is really dead, but there will be a little spiritual release that exists between heaven and earth.
This may be the origin of the pseudo-intelligence of Tiandi Lingji.
It is these spirits that give the world and the world the pseudo-intelligent characteristics.
It is also because of this pseudo-intelligence and this touch of spirituality as a bridge that the sword intention is created out of pure will.
That is, the influence of the sword's intention on the spiritual machine of heaven and earth, causing the spiritual machine of heaven and earth to excessively release its own energy.
Expanding our thinking, since ancient times, humans and even animals have experienced countless deaths.
And the accumulation of spirituality may have reached a certain limit.
So what happens when you cross this line?
Perhaps, this is a term that Mo Chengjun is familiar with - spiritual energy recovery.
And the civilization of cultivating immortals, demons, monsters, and immortality also began from this time.
Well, this is definitely an incredible conjecture and involves the fundamental existence of civilization.
After taking out this hypothesis, Mo Chengjun paused for a long time. His mind was completely shaken, as if it could be traced back to the origin of life and the fundamental law of the world.
Of course, this assumption is too simple and too bold.
Just like every civilization, there must be myths and stories.
That was what came to mind about the origin of the world and life when the ancients looked up at the sky and down at the earth for the first time.
Although this hypothesis has some basis, the subject is too big, too profound, and it is not an issue that Mo Chengjun can trace and explore now.
Therefore, he simply recorded it and threw it aside.
He does not need to explore the world after death now, nor does he need to think about where the underworld exists in the world.
He only needs to focus on his research topic now and finalize the 'Sword Theory'.
…
The rainy night has passed, the sky is clear and clear, only the figure beside the desk remains.
Mo Chengjun looked through his manuscripts and notes, then compared the experimental data, and entered the backtracking mode.
To be honest, although the sword theory has come up with a "one, two, three", both the expression and the discussion are still relatively confusing.
Even Mo Chengjun himself felt that the truth was too obscure and difficult to understand, and there were still many places filled with doubts and problems.
What he is sorting out now is not only the recorded content, but also his own thoughts. He wants to make everything clearer and easier to understand.
This time, he stood in a higher dimension, looked at his research again, and had a different experience.
First of all, he once again clarified the goal of this project - the magical power of swordsmanship. To be more precise, how to understand the magical power of swordsmanship?
And if you want to do this, you must first understand a question - what is the magical power of swordsmanship?
Of course, the magical power of swordsmanship is too high-end, just like an interstellar spaceship in outer space, it looks tall and classy.
But for people on the ground, it is also out of reach.
Therefore, Mo Chengjun must first study the foundation of magical powers, which is the aircraft within the planet, and when it comes to swordsmanship, that is the foundation of swordsmanship - sword intention.
To study the sword intention and understand the essence of the sword intention, there is no doubt that we must solve the three questions of the soul - who am I?
Where do I come from?
Where am I going?
Well, let’s put it in terms of sword intention: what is sword intention?
How does sword intent come about?
And, why can sword intent drive the heaven and earth spiritual machine to overclock and burst out energy?
This is the problem that Sword Theory confronts and explains. It is the fundamental problem that Mo Chengjun wants to clarify. By now, it has taken shape.
Yes, the so-called Sword Theory 1, 2, and 3 are still in their infancy, just hatched chicks.
Young, fragile, and vulnerable.
But Mo Chengjun already had a theory in his mind, and all he had to do was express it accurately, concisely, and efficiently.
This time, experiments and the like were no longer needed, data collection was complete enough, and all Mo Chengjun had to do was think.
Think about appropriate expression methods, streamline the content of sword theory, and improve the entire system.
Research in this area no longer involves external objects, but more about the collision of personal thoughts.
But honestly, it’s extremely draining.
After another full month, Mo Chengjun finally perfected his Three Laws of Sword Theory again. Compared with the original, it was completely different.
First of all, what is sword intention?
Mo Chengjun concluded that sword intention is a special people-oriented mentality, a specific spiritual frequency, a manifestation of pure and tenacious will, and more importantly, a belief.
It can drive the world's spiritual machine to achieve overclocking bursts.
This paragraph is completely different from the original sword theory.
Not only have many things been changed, but two crucial words have been added - faith.
Yes, this is the result of Mo Chengjun's in-depth thinking.
Even, in a sense, he felt that the word 'faith' was more appropriate than 'pure will'!
Therefore, Sword Theory One: Sword Intention, that is, pure will, that is, belief.
It can drive the heaven and earth to overclock and explode.
Take a look, is it much simpler and more concise?
Secondly, how does sword intention come about?
Looking at it again at this time, Mo Chengjun felt that the original Sword Theory II actually had too many biases and deficiencies, and it was not the ultimate reason for the sword intention.
Now, he believes that the generation of sword intention is affected by four factors, namely the characteristics of the sword technique, personal character, life experience, and the level of education received.
The so-called sword intention is actually formed by the collision of these four, and it needs to go through three stages.
They are the game, running-in, and recognition of each other, until they are finally melted into one furnace and sublimated into will and belief.
To be honest, this Sword Theory II involves the shaping of one's outlook on life, values, and worldview. It is the growth process of one's personal state of mind, and is somewhat idealistic.
This is actually not in line with Mo Chengjun's materialistic beliefs.
But how to say it?
Xiu Xian asked, now that immortality has emerged, materialism must also keep pace with the times, right?
Therefore, Sword Theory II has a specific definition: Sword Intent is formed by the mutual game, running-in, recognition, and final smelting and sublimation of sword tactics, monk character, experience, and knowledge. It is the growth of personal state of mind.
The last question is, why can sword intent drive the spiritual machine of heaven and earth to overclock and burst out energy?
For this question, we must first clarify a premise, that is, the spiritual machine of heaven and earth has the characteristic of energy surplus.
In other words, in order to maintain its own existence, the spirit of heaven and earth will hide most of its energy and present it in an inert state, which will not be easily driven and released.
Conventional means can only stimulate the excessive energy of heaven and earth, accounting for about one-tenth of it.
As for the sword intention, it can deeply stimulate the inert energy of the heaven and earth spiritual machine and achieve overclocking explosion.
As for sword intent, why can it deeply stimulate the inert energy of heaven and earth?
Mo Chengjun believes that the unique pseudo-intelligence is derived from the inspiration of heaven and earth. To use a more fairy-like expression, it should be spirituality.
And spiritual resonance is the biggest reason why Tiandi Lingji gives Jianyi so much face.
This may also be the root of 'the peak of magic and self-generated spirituality'.
Of course, if we go deeper, why would heaven and earth be aware of spirituality?
Where does spirituality come from?
Is spirituality what remains after death?
This type of problem has gone beyond the scope of sword theory, and even involves the foundation of Xianxia civilization. It is too profound and cannot be touched by his current small foundation.
Therefore, you have to let go of what should be let go.
Thus, the Third Sword Theory has a definition: that is, the spirit of heaven and earth has the characteristics of energy retention and pseudo-intelligence, and the sword intention can deeply stimulate the inert energy of the spirit of heaven and earth.
After coming up with this conclusion, Mo Chengjun always felt that something was not appropriate.
So after thinking for a long time, he finally replaced 'pseudo-intelligence' with 'spirituality'.
That is, the spiritual machine of heaven and earth has the characteristic of energy surplus and spirituality.
At this point, Sword Theory 1, 2, and 3 are finally fully formed and fully calculated. The three arguments added together only amount to a hundred words.
But in order to explain and prove, he spent another month compiling a tome as thick as an adult's fist.
Of course he couldn't count the exact number of words in it, but there must be hundreds of thousands.
And this also means that his sixth secret book is finally completed.
However, Mo Chengjun was in trouble again as to what to name this secret book.
He went through it over and over again in his mind, but in the end he couldn't find a cool and appropriate name from his memory.
So, he thought of a few on his own, such as "Sword Theory" which was the most appropriate but not very high quality.
For example, according to the rules of this world, it is very stylish, but seems too high-profile - "The Fundamental Theory of Sword Intent".
This name seems more appropriate, but how do you say it?
Mo Chengjun himself recognized it, but in the eyes of outsiders, he was definitely too high-profile, so high-profile that he almost looked like a flying dragon riding on his face.
What, your secret book is called "The Fundamental Theory of Sword Intent"?
Then for my sword art, do I have to bow my head?
To be honest, even though he was born in the world-famous swordsmanship sect—Galaxy Sword Sect, he felt that if his name was blown out, he would easily become the target of public criticism and would he need to be beaten?
For another example, according to Mo Chengjun's previous naming habit, it can be named "Hypothesis on the Essence of Sword Intent" by analogy with "Hypothesis on the Essence of Breath-Eating Technique".
Talking about a 'hypothesis' can also be a little more modest.
However, what Mo Chengjun is actually most interested in is the "Three Laws of Sword Intent", which is analogous to the "Three Laws of Mechanics" of a certain scientific god.
Maybe it was a personal plot, but he always felt that leaving such a mark in this world would feel like, ahem, his dick would explode!
However, he felt that this was too high-profile, and it was not in line with his usual strategy of lying down.
So, with a stroke of his pen, he wrote the secret name on the page.
——"Mo's Three Laws of Sword Intent"
Ahem, since you are already so high-profile, let’s keep it high-profile to the end!
As for the face, I don’t want it!
