Chapter 927: The Light of Ants!

Imagination, becomes reality?

Xu Xiaoshou was confused and felt that this concept sounded really crazy, and also vaguely familiar.

From the words of the dean alone, he felt that Elder Qiao's path was a bit like his own "mastery of painting".

But there is a fundamental difference between the two.

Mastery of painting is essentially to give one's "fantasy" a substantial presentation, and then add a little spirituality to it, so that it has more "autonomous consciousness".

But these "autonomous consciousnesses" are still the consciousness of the original body.

Just like the portrait clones of the Eight Zun An, if Xu Xiaoshou does not control them remotely, it is just a lifelike painting that transcends the confinement of paper, and it is still a dead object.

And Elder Qiao's path mentioned by the dean is more inclined to the spiritual array, or the art of heavenly secrets!

In any case, 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 bed, and was still struggling with those obscure physics and philosophy knowledge.

In his heart, the inherent impression of Elder Qiao as a carefree person was instantly refreshed.

At this time, Ye Xiaotian did not stop describing.

He looked at Xu Xiaoshou's sheep-like thoughtful but slightly confused eyes, as if he saw himself when he first heard these concepts,   so he smiled and continued:

"According to your Elder Qiao, the 'picture' of all things can be specifically manifested as a network of heavenly rules that can be traced,   even the holy way.

"The 'pattern' is for each of the rules, such as the fire system.

"In addition, the annual rings of plant leaves and the tendons and veins of the human body are all 'pictures' and 'patterns'. Changing these can change the essence.

After a pause, his voice became somewhat deafening:

"The essence of refining spirits is to evolve their own 'patterns' and 'pictures'.

"The essence of the growth of all things is also to evolve higher-level 'patterns' and 'pictures'.

"Once you master the ability to change these 'patterns' and 'pictures', mortals can also become saints overnight! "

As soon as these words fell, Xu Xiaoshou's eyes suddenly shrank.

He suddenly realized why he felt strangely familiar when he heard those abstract concepts just now.

It's not "mastery of painting"!

What the dean said is actually the core of "mastery of textiles"!

Xu Xiaoshou then remembered the illusion he had experienced when he first got "mastery of textiles".

There, everything has a hidden "line", and the rules of heaven and earth are embodied in a "net" of rules covering the scope of the continent. Fate is more like an invisible big hand that transcends this.

When the big hand moves, the lines move, the net moves, and everything starts to move, like a puppet. The puppeteer is manipulating the puppet.

If one has the ability to change the "thread" and "net" after mastering these concepts and knowledge, then this person can become the one who manipulates the big hand of fate.

In Elder Qiao's concept, "pattern" is equivalent to the "thread" in "weaving proficiency", and the "picture" outlined by the "pattern" is the "net" woven by the "thread" in "weaving proficiency".

"Net" can be small or large, small ones are human tendons and veins, grass and tree leaf pattern annual rings, and large ones are the net of rules and the net of the holy way.

"So, when Elder Qiao was young, he had already realized the core of "weaving proficiency" and resolutely plunged into this path? "Xu Xiaoshou was shocked.

He felt that this was outrageous!

Are all the people in the Holy Palace really of this level?

At that time, was the concept of Tianjishu formed? Elder Qiao dared to go this way. Did he have someone leading the way?

Are geniuses and madmen really just a thought away?

Ye Xiaotian seemed very satisfied with Xu Xiaoshou's reaction, because when he got these specific explanations from Qiao Qianzhi, his performance was even worse than Xu Xiaoshou's.

He smiled and added the heavy information, saying:

"At that time, the Taoist master was not famous yet, and your elder Qiao was almost expelled from the Holy Palace because he studied these alone, which slowed down his progress in cultivation.

"But he did not give up and was still studying. At this time, he didn't even know that his concept had transcended the scope of 'spiritual formation'.

"Many years later, among the ten thrones, the Taoist master became famous for 'Tianjishu'.

"At this time, your elder Qiao knew that the things he was carrying on alone were the work of geniuses from the whole world gathered in the Holy Spirit Temple, who were studying them all night long.

"That is the 'Tao Department'. The concept proposed by your elder Qiao is roughly equivalent to the prototype of the 'Heavenly Secret Art'!"

It's so far away... At this moment, Xu Xiaoshou was just crazy.

Elder Qiao alone is equal to the entire Tao Department?

Is this a genius at the level of the Holy Palace?

"What about his research results?" Xu Xiaoshou asked. He was thinking that since the Taoist master became famous for the Heavenly Secret Art, Elder Qiao would not have been stuck at the level of the Throne Spiritual Array Master for so many years, right?

"He failed."

Ye Xiaotian said sadly, and then changed the subject:

"But this is our conclusion. Your elder Qiao is stubborn and has always believed that what he studied is higher than the 'Heavenly Secret Art' in terms of the conceptual level, so it is difficult to make a breakthrough. This is not called 'failure'.

“He also believes that the Taoist master is indeed a genius. The ‘Heavenly Secret Puppet’ he developed is a product on the same conceptual level as him…similar to an artificial human.

"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 just exchanging 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 just 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 with 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 some world secret again, 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 knew the will of the Holy Emperor, but he also knew that he couldn't even mention it.

He quickly skipped over it and returned to the main topic.

"Xu Xiaoshou, I told you so much not to show off my past achievements, but just to reassure you.

"Just like how I trust your Elder Qiao, your master trusts me, and you trust your master.

"Now that your Elder Qiao's research has reached a critical moment, he asked me for the 'Holy Source Crystal'. He only lacks Ah Jie, you know... Oh, maybe you don't know, but I must say that he will never do anything without some certainty.

"Are you willing to choose to believe him? "

Sure enough, it's here... Xu Xiaoshou thought that he couldn't skip this step. The Dean's trick of persuading others was to get the ring back.

Even the Holy Source Crystal was given to Elder Qiao...

The Dean really got the Holy Source Crystal. Hmm, how did he get it?

Huang Quan should have set his sights on the Holy Source Crystal, or on the Dean as a whole, just like he set his sights on me at that time. After all, the Dean is very outstanding...

Ah Ring, should I give it to him or not?

Xu Xiaoshou was quite upset and his thoughts were in disarray.

It must be said that Ye Xiaotian's words really moved him a little.

If Elder Qiao was just an ordinary spirit formation master in Tiansang Ling Palace, Xu Xiaoshou would never give the ring back.

But after learning about Elder Qiao's true origins, and even that his talent was higher than that of the Dean and Elder Sang, and that it was possible that he could match the height of the Taoist Palace Master by changing his path, Xu Xiaoshou really hesitated.

Perhaps in this world, Elder Qiao is the only one who can cure Ah Jie.

But when I think of the risks...

No matter how high Elder Qiao's theoretical realm is, his current practical experience is only that of a throne-level spiritual master.

As for the practice of his highest theoretical ideas, he has not succeeded once in decades.

How can I, how dare I hand you over to him... Xu Xiaoshou held Ah Jie, hesitant.

Ye Xiaotian took in the whole scene, without judging, he put his hands behind his back and slowly floated to the edge of the cliff.

Facing the whistling wind and the sea of ​​clouds, looking at the vast sky and fog, Ye Xiaotian was silent for a long time, and said meaningfully in a calm tone:

"Everyone who has not yet blossomed is either still dreaming in the daytime, or has walked at night with a candle, and has reached the deepest night of the oil-burning lamp... At this time, what can crush them is only the extremely desperate darkness, and what can save them is often the first ray of light in the morning."
