Xu Kai lamented that it was indeed too difficult to face the test of the Providence List.
If it weren't for my extraordinary courage and carefulness, seeing through the layers of the other party's lies, coupled with my own strong strength, I might not have been able to pass the test.
"It is said that there is a road to the mountain of books, and hard work is the path, and the sea of learning is boundless and the boat is hard work. If this is the case, how can the God's Will List open a direct channel for me to the destination?"
Tianyi Bang remained silent. Because he found that he could not refute Xu Kai.
This couplet was hung at the entrance of Wensheng Palace. Its original intention was to encourage students to study hard and practice hard, but it turned out to be a "clue" for Xu Kai to see through the "trap".
Do you want to dismantle that couplet in the future?
The top of the golden mountain peak also has a math problem.
This time the topic is a geometry question related to "Fangting". If Xu Kai hadn't entered the book pavilion, he really didn't know that "Fang Pavilion" was the four-sided platform, and he might have been in trouble here. But now that he knows it, this problem is simpler for Xu Kai than the "two rats running through the wall" problem.
Xu Kai even showed a problem-solving idea that had never been seen before on the Tianyi List: establishing a spatial rectangular coordinate system and solving the problem with a purely numerical solution. The Providence List was also an eye-opener.
"Obviously you are so talented, why do you feel like your brain is not working well?" Tianyi Bang became more and more puzzled.
Jinshan shines brightly and takes Xu Kai to the next area.
…
…
Xu Kai came to a cold world, covered with white snow, as far as the eye could see, and there were no sun, moon or stars in the sky to guide the direction. The heavy snow is still drifting, adding bricks to the snowfield.
This place is extremely cold, and I am afraid that no child can survive here for more than ten breaths, and even the scholar may not be able to survive for long, but to Xu Kai, it is like nothing, and he still moves forward without hesitation.
Although Tianyi Bang wanted to tell Xu Kai directly about the content of the test in view of the previous situation, he had to abide by the rules, so he remained silent and only hoped that Xu Kai would be normal.
But Xu Kai was still walking on the snowfield, never stopping.
Occasionally, some snow monsters attacked, but Xu Kai easily destroyed them.
Tianyi Bang couldn't help but sigh when he saw this. There has never been a scholar as powerful as Xu Kai in history. I am afraid that only Kong Sheng can compare with him. Even the Dali Saint was not as powerful as him during his period as a scholar of the Holy Path.
Xu Kai kept walking in a straight route, never distorting or deviating from the route.
"Wen Xin is extremely determined."
There is endless snow and a vast expanse of white. Without any reference, ordinary people can easily get lost. Although you can always reach the end point by walking straight on the snowfield as long as you find a direction at random, the biggest difficulty lies in "finding the direction". With no reference, and no guidance from the sun, moon, and stars, most people could only spin around in circles without realizing it, and eventually froze to death in the snowfield.
The focus of this test is Wen Xin. A firm mind can naturally guide the body to walk straight. If Wenxin is not firm enough, in the cold and unchanged snowfield, Wenxin will eventually collapse.
After Xu Kai walked for an unknown amount of time, a golden curtain finally appeared in front of Xu Kai.
The above is a math problem.
In less than ten minutes, Xu Kai untied it and moved forward again.
I have never seen anyone on the Tianyi List who answered questions so quickly.
Since the numerologist has a new half-sage, the numerologist can also choose to face the Providence List directly, but except for the first question, he has raised the difficulty of all questions to the highest level. This is the difference between numerology and other schools of thought. As long as you read through the holy scriptures, you can always answer one or two questions. However, even if you read all the arithmetic books on numeracy, you just can't answer it. Numerology doesn't pay attention to quoting scriptures at all. No matter how many allusions are cited, the answer will still not come out.
However, Xu Kai was always able to answer questions at an extremely fast speed that seemed very complicated and cumbersome before Zhang Cang became a saint.
"If mathematicians have a lot to learn, they should be prosperous." God's Will Bang praised.
…
…
Xu Kai came to an ocean, with a small boat at his feet.
Just like the previous three tests, the sea still has no end in sight. But what is different from before is that there are many islands in this sea area, and there are also sun, moon and stars in the sky to locate.
Xu Kaixin wondered what the test here was?
He injected literary energy into the boat, and the boat gradually moved forward.
As usual, there are still sea monsters harassing Xu Kai.
As usual, the sea monster was crushed by Xu Kai with one punch.
"Find the center of this ocean."
Xu Kai was stunned and cursed: "This ocean is boundless, how can we find its center?"
God's Will List doesn't care about this.
In fact, this test is aimed at critical thinking ability. If you are debating scriptures with others in the future and you are obviously more well-read than the other person, but you are unable to say what you want to say, it will be difficult for you to do anything in the future debates between literature and Taoism, the contention of a hundred schools of thought, etc.
For example, a famous disciple once said: My feet are the center of this sea.
He asked, how can you prove that the center of the sea is under your feet?
The famous disciple asked, how do you know that my feet are not the center of the sea?
So pass.
Tianyi Bang felt that Xu's mind was so active when he passed the second level, it should be quite easy to pass this level.
But he saw Xu Kai frowning and thinking, motionless, and then drove the boat forward.
"By the way, he is a numerologist. He should think that I really want him to measure the center of the sea." Tianyi Bang thought of something in his mind.
But this is also his test. It would be better to say that if he really detects it, even the last problem can be saved.
But Xu Kai suddenly asked: "Is this sea area on a planet like Tianyan Continent?"
Tianyi Bang was stunned and said: "Yes. It would be better to say that this is a projection of a sea area of Tianyan Continent."
"Then this sea has no center."
"Why."
"Because it is a simply connected, compact, and unbounded two-dimensional manifold. Since it is compact and unbounded, it naturally has no center."
Xu Kai explained in detail the meaning of the concepts of simply connected, compact, unbounded, and two-dimensional manifolds to the Spirit of Heaven's Will List. Even the calculation ability of the God's Will List is not inferior to that of the saint, but he was defeated and fled under this too weird definition, and he was dizzy after hearing it.
Xu Kai actually doesn't know much about topology. He was actually making up nonsense about an unbounded two-dimensional manifold without a center.
Although he had attended one or two classes out of interest before, he soon discovered that he was really not the material. In topology, the human body is indistinguishable from a donut. Although this statement is not rigorous, and can even be said to be full of errors, it can also be roughly seen how far the thinking of people who study topology differs from the thinking of ordinary people.
Not to mention the God's Will List, which I have never even touched advanced mathematics.
Then the golden light shines, and Xu passes the test.
——Commonly known as, cheating.
…
…
When the golden light led Xu Kai into the next area, he felt a little dizzy for the first time, causing him to close his eyes involuntarily.
"This is the final test. After passing here, you can see the true face of the God's Will List."
Xu Kai opened his eyes and found that he was in a starry sky.
Endless stars shine in the distance, and the most conspicuous one is a blue planet.
The planet has some similarities with the Earth, but Xu Kai estimates that it should be much larger than the Earth. The planet's land and ocean each account for roughly 50%, and there is only one continent.
"The planet you see is Tianyan Continent." A golden figure stepped out and came to Xu Kai. There are some similarities between the appearance of this figure and Ming Chen, both of them have no facial features; but the golden figure is wearing clothes and has hair, while Ming Chen does not have these things.
"Although I have seen relevant records in the book pavilion, seeing it with my own eyes is still quite shocking." Xu Kai sighed.
This is a fact.
It is said that when many astronauts see the earth from space for the first time, the first emotion that comes to their minds is fear. Because the earth is so big. Because the transportation on the earth is very convenient and it takes less than a day to travel around the earth, people often ignore the size of the earth. But the fact is that the earth has a volume of 1082513039000 cubic kilometers. In the face of this size, all living things will involuntarily feel humble.
Not to mention the Tianyan Continent, which is larger than the earth.
"In fact, in the early days, people began to suspect that Tianyan Continent was spherical. It was not until the birth of the first half-saint of our human race that this conjecture was confirmed. So do you know what phenomena have caused people to speculate about the shape of Tianyan Continent? "
Xu Kai didn't know why he asked these questions, but he still answered: "When a ship comes back from a long voyage, people always see the sail first."
The figure shook his head: "Not enough."
"Stand high and see far."
The figure nodded: "Okay. Is there more?"
"So what exactly are you here for?"
The figure stood up and looked towards the stars.
Xu Kai followed his gaze.
"After the scholar, there is the promotion of people. And this state is called the fixed star state in the method of introducing Qi into the body. Do you know why?"
"Advancing to the Dingxing Realm, you can travel around the starry sky with a little spiritual consciousness, use your spiritual consciousness to determine your natal star, and be illuminated by the starlight. Your strength will reach a watershed breakthrough, so it is called the Dingxing Realm. People in the community call them 'stars in the sky.'" There are also reasons for this."
"This is an opportunity for those who come here." The golden figure turned around, "Come to the starry sky in advance and feel which star is most suitable for you, so as to save a lot of energy when lifting people. You must know Due to their limited spiritual consciousness, Shaoju people do not have enough time to travel in the starry sky and cannot find the most suitable natal star for them, so their future will be affected. Now that you can travel in the starry sky with your spiritual consciousness in advance, when you become a Juren, you will have a lot of energy left. Find the natal star that suits you best.”
"Is this the real starry sky?" Xu Kai was very surprised.
"This place was founded by Confucius, and then continuously improved by saints of all generations. It can project the real starry sky, and everything will be the same as the starry sky."
The golden figure left.
"Including the original throbbing caused by the natal star that is most suitable for you."
After saying this, the golden figure completely disappeared.
Xu Kai looked at the endless stars.
Compared with the "endless" long roads, "vast" mountains, "endless" snowfields, and "endless" seas tested previously, the starry sky is truly infinite. Those majestic wonders and those magnificent and dazzling mountains and rivers all seem too insignificant once you look at the stars.
That's why in the past, some scholars who were weak in their literary aspirations felt that they were insignificant when they were traveling in the stars. Not only did they not set their natal stars, but they ended up with a broken literary mind.
Xu Kai knows the vastness of the starry sky better than anyone else. Thanks to Perelman, he even knew to some extent the shape of the universe. So he calmed down faster than anyone in Tianyan Continent.
He began to travel among the stars.
This feeling is very amazing. Without the constraints of gravity, everything seems to follow your will. But now he only has a little spiritual consciousness and does not need to breathe. As if the shackles of life were broken, Xu Kai felt very comfortable.
Pieces of star fields flashed under Xu Kai, like a dream.
Unbeknownst to Xu Kai, a golden figure was watching his every move.
This starry sky is both an opportunity and a test.
Don’t forget that this exam is just a government exam after all. For a child who is trying to become a scholar, the original throbbing of the natal star is a poison that is more powerful and attractive than drugs. If Wenxin is not firm enough to control himself and receive the star power in advance, then he will will usher in the most tragic end.
When the body dies, the Tao disappears.
Although this is just a projected starry sky, since it is projected, it also brings a hint of star power. Just this little star power is not something any child can bear.
Even if Xu Kai is extremely powerful, don't forget that facing the Heavenly Will List means that the Heavenly Will List will only target Xu Kai. In order to target Xu Kai, the star power of the starry sky was also particularly strong this time. Without completing the literary Qi Ruzhu, the body is not like a demon in the Fixed Star Realm that can release Qi and blood, and the Secret Technique of Amplification cannot support his body to receive the star power at all.
It has nothing to do with being strong or not. Even if the vast majority of Juren and Dingxing realm monsters are no match for Xu Kai, as long as he fails to meet the conditions, he is destined to be unable to receive star power.
Not long after, Xu Kai stopped traveling in the starry sky, frowned, and said, "I'm done traveling. Please send me to the next place."
The golden figure nodded in admiration. For Xu Kai, his strength became a stumbling block in this test. Because he is already more powerful than many Juren, he will be even more hungry for starlight. Under normal circumstances, the temptation of starlight to him would be even greater than the attraction of starlight to Tong Sheng. And that he can ignore the temptation of starlight shows that he has an extremely strong and determined Wenxin.
A golden curtain appeared in front of Xu Kai. Another math question.
Tianyi Bang already feels that this is almost just a formality.
Sure enough, Xu Kai still solved it at an extremely fast speed.
The golden light opened Xu's package and brought him to a magnificent palace.
The hall is extremely vast, hundreds of meters tall. It does not look like a place where humans live. Even some monsters that are famous for their huge size do not have such huge lives.
Giant golden pillars stood in the sky, and in the center of the huge pillars, there was a golden figure sitting cross-legged on the ground. Seeing Xu Kai arriving, he stretched out his hand and motioned for the other party to sit down like him.
Xu Kai came to the other party unceremoniously and sat down like the other party.
This golden figure is the one in the starry sky before. But the difference is that his facial features have become much clearer, and he no longer has no facial features like before.
Xu Kai inexplicably felt that the other party's appearance looked familiar.
"You are the spirit of the Heavenly Will List?"
"Exactly."
"I wonder where the body of the Heavenly Will List is? As a scholar, I have always wanted to take a look at this supreme treasure of the human race."
"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain."
"What's the meaning?"
The golden figure smiled and pointed to the ceiling: "This palace is the list of God's will."
