Chapter 532: Immortal Path Also Has a Future
"Julu, I'm sorry for not telling you. When we think about the long and boring journey home, we never want to look back."
"Actually, we wanted to go back several times, but each time we decided to wait ten years before we talk..."
Decade after decade, the Wandering Immortals looked at the giant deer apologetically. They had indeed abandoned the giant deer on their home planet.
Julu smiled bitterly and said: "What will you do with your supplies? If you don't return to your home planet, how can there be such rich spiritual energy to replenish you?"
It's okay to say that Taisu Qi is found in every celestial body. The initial exploration of space was to go to other planets to extract Taisu Qi. It's just difficult to extract it.
But ordinary spiritual energy is closely related to the ecology of the planet. Except for the home planet, other planets have thin or even no spiritual energy.
However, Li Shitian smiled and said: "On the fourth planet, we stayed for a long time and pioneered a method of refining mana from sunlight."
"What!" Julu was shocked. This was an incredible feat.
"Great! The power of the sun is endless and will never be exhausted. With this method, wouldn't it mean that wherever you can feel the sunshine, you won't be afraid of the spiritual energy drying up?"
After hearing this, Li Shitian shook his head and said, "No, you may not understand what this means."
"All methods are unified, and different paths are connected. The essence of all energy is the same, but the lines are different. If you pay attention to the lines, absorb and refine them with corresponding techniques, any energy can eventually be digested into mana."
"Although this transformation process itself consumes a huge amount of mana, as long as the light source or energy source is strong enough, we can earn back hundreds or thousands of times."
Julu looked at Li Shitian with resentment. He didn't come back to tell him about such a major breakthrough in the immortal way. How could he not be resentful?
At the beginning, Julu had wondered if there was a way for the Heaven-Breaking Man to become an immortal without having to use Tai Su Qi.
It is precisely because what cultivators need is specific energy.
Now, Li Shitian and others seem to have learned to utilize the nature of energy during their long exploration, and can then achieve mutual conversion between different energies.
In fact, this idea existed thousands of years ago. Any energy is derived from one, and everything should be returned to one.
But it has never been realized, and it has always been at the level of conjecture. I don't know how to turn the most ordinary light and heat into mana.
But now that it has been realized, it is like breaking the shackles. The entire universe, in the eyes of the immortals, is wealth.
They no longer have to go home for supplies. There are supplies everywhere in the universe. This on-the-go journey seems to be endless.
Mo Qiong listened on the side and couldn't help but sigh, this was equivalent to breaking the old 'classic immortal way'.
Think about it, science can also convert energy into each other, why can't immortality do it?
Science relies on boiling water, and immortals only need magic power. The key is to find the right method.
Obviously, Li Shitian and other immortals embarked on the path of immortality in the new era once they shattered their inner model of the universe that "everything can be deduced from the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams".
This is the same as smashing classical physics, denying the wrong idea that Newtonian mechanics can explain everything to the end, and then making a technological leap.
"I see, it seems that Euler's help is not needed..." Only then did Mo Qiong know why the dignified immortal was so lost in the universe.
It's not the limitations of the mysterious side itself, but the immaturity of their immortal ways.
Superstitious, they believe in the Tao of the old times, and after entering space, they have only begun to innovate now.
The power of the mysterious side should not need the help of the technological side. It should be possible to achieve accurate navigation simply by using the mysterious side algorithm.
Perhaps there is a mysterious metaphysical algorithm that can tell what kind of planet is going to pass through at which location with just a few clicks.
It's just that they haven't found that algorithm yet...
Their navigation is so poor, not because the mysterious side navigation is destined to be poor, but because they use methods used thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago to apply space navigation.
This is equivalent to people on earth using Euclid as a space navigator. It would be strange if this is not a scam.
On the technology side, everything must be prepared before it can go to heaven.
The mysterious side is different. You may go to heaven without anything, and then you will think about what new methods and techniques are needed to navigate the universe. That's why this weird situation occurs.
This is caused by the different development contexts of the two.
All methods must be progressed, improved, overthrown, and innovated. The theory from thousands of years ago cannot be applied to everything, and the same is true for immortality.
Li Shitian and others have broken the old thinking and have a strong sense of exploration. This spirit will guide them to progress, and Mo Qiong does not need to worry about it.
They will still be lost now, but in a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand years, they will one day be able to travel around the universe.
After thinking about this, Mo Qiong immediately stopped thinking about introducing technological power.
That's just unnecessary!
It’s not that people can’t do it, they just haven’t done it yet. If they really learned the scientific side of mathematics, I'm afraid they would never be able to build a universe model unique to immortal cultivators.
On the contrary, it has killed the future of this immortal civilization.
…
After an in-depth exchange, Li Shitian and others didn't care about Mo Qiong's actions of causing trouble on their home planet.
They all gave up their homes and turned to the embrace of the endless starry sky. They all accepted the order of the Blue and White Society.
However, Mo Qiong told them that once they learned the navigation technology, they would probably not be able to develop a truly immortal navigation method in the future.
So the immortals decided to change their request.
"It's very simple. Just satisfy our curiosity. How do you cross such a long distance in an instant? It doesn't matter if you don't teach it to us. Tell us the principle and we can understand it ourselves." Li Shitian said.
This was their only request. Once this request was met, from then on, they, along with the entire world of cultivators, joined the council.
Even when their power is needed in the future, they will provide military support similar to that of other countries on the earth.
"This..." Mo Qiong thought.
The immortals said: "You have to tell us why you established such a strange order, right? You use the so-called council to include us, but what about you? What do you belong to? Are you independent of nature?"
"That's true. Some of the things we master are not spells or techniques, but something similar to the Great Dao, which cannot be taught." Mo Qiong said vaguely.
The immortals didn't believe it, so Mo Qiong immediately took off his earrings and said: "There are always some incredible and unexplainable things in this world. Even the universe and the way of heaven must succumb to it."
With that said, he split into two parts, separated from Che Yun, and told about the existence of the containment object.
The immortals were astonished, not understanding the principle of this fusion at all.
"Can you give us a try?" Li Shitian asked.
Mo Qiong shook his head and said: "Unless the compatibility is perfect, generally if two people merge, their consciousness will be permanently confused."
"Well, if you accept it, you can try to listen to a song."
He described the characteristics of the Song of Reversal. The confidentiality level of this thing was very low. It was given to him before he became a regular person. It was suitable for popularizing science about contained objects.
Soon, they created a small atmosphere and moved safely in the singing.
"It's strange, I didn't realize how it changed at all..." Li Shitian said softly.
Although this change is very miraculous, this is an extraordinary world. Li Shitian said: "There are many ways to become a woman, and this is still the category of magic."
Mo Qiong shook his head and didn't wait to say more.
Unexpectedly, Li Shitian said again: "In this case, didn't you say that if you don't deafen yourself first, you will be permanently and absolutely deafened by it?"
"I want to try it!"
"..." Mo Qian was speechless.
Che Yun said from the side: "What do you think? It has been said that it will cause permanent and absolute deafness. No matter what happens in the future, you will never hear sounds again!"
"Yes! That's the point! Such a description is too strange. What does it mean that no matter what happens in the future, you will never hear sounds again? What distinguishes this is whether I am deaf? What is the truth? I am deaf , I can be cured again if I listen to it, I am not deaf, will I be deaf forever after listening to it?" Li Shitian said with a strange expression.
Indeed, many of the characteristics of the contained objects feel extremely inconsistent and unnatural just from the description.
Mo Qiong said: "This is the truth... This was confirmed by the sacrifice of countless people... and even the hearing of gods."
"I want to try..." Li Shitian didn't notice that Mo Qiong also mentioned God, but he still said stubbornly.
Mo Qiong said: "The spirit is commendable. You have such a firm desire to explore. You will definitely be able to truly swim in the stars in the future. But I still want to say that there is no regret medicine. If you try it once, you will never hear the sound!"
"It doesn't matter. You can't hear sounds in space anyway. I communicate with my mind." Li Shitian persisted.
All the immortals have the same idea. They must try it once. Otherwise, how can they believe that the Blue and White Society is really mastering something independent of nature? In this case, if you want them to be convinced, then do it once.
"Are you really lying?" Li Shitian said.
Mo Qiong rolled his eyes and said, "Can't I still prove my ability to move?"
"No... what I want to verify is the phenomenon that is described as strange and irrational. It is not the transfer, but the ability to magnify it countless times." Li Shitian said.
Mo Qiong was speechless, this person was too stubborn, so he secretly asked Sister You and others.
"Let him listen. If he doesn't believe it, let him do it. If he doesn't believe there is any way," Gou Ye said.
Sister You also said: "Since they asked so and volunteered to be a guinea pig, then we can just verify the difference between immortals and gods."
After one hour……
It turns out there is no difference.
Li Shitian couldn't hear the sound at all. He tried countless methods but couldn't change this fact.
Including telepathy, no sound can be sensed.
Sound seemed to have disappeared from his world.
You must know that the mind can simulate the real environment and then perform it in the mind in the form of an almost 3D animation. This includes simulating sounds, so that the sound of the distant target can be heard with the mind before it can be transmitted.
However, this time, the mind could not imitate the sound.
Li Shitian's communication with his companions could only be through mind-to-mind communication, directly printing the meaning to him.
"How could this happen?" Li Shitian changed his mind in many ways, and after exhausting all means, he finally admitted this phenomenon.
"Where are you injured?" Julu asked mentally.
Li Shitian shook his head and said: "I haven't been injured anywhere. My hearing is not damaged at all, Daoguo is not damaged, and my brain is not damaged... but I just can't hear the sound..."
"I told you...it has nothing to do with treatment methods, physiological structure, or even life forms. It seems...things like your hearing have been deleted in various ways." Mo Qiong said.
"I don't believe it...it can definitely be cured!" Li Shitian said frantically.
He would rather admit that this is a direct cause and effect. That is, there is no process and discontinuity between cause and effect.
If you get hit, you get hit. If you don't get hit, you don't get hit. There is no room for resistance.
This point is perfectly explained by the containment. But the containment is not only this, it also has an absoluteness.
Li Shitian was not injured, so there is naturally no treatment. And why he can't hear, this may never be verified in his lifetime.
Anyway, once it is an absolute effect, then any known methods, including some law-like abilities of gods, cannot change it. Only other absolutes that are also containments are contradictory to it.
"Do you understand? I can't teach this ability anyway... You study it slowly... You will always be a deaf immortal."
"By the way, I'll leave you a photo."
Mo Qiong said, taking out a photo, which is exactly the medium needed for grave communication.
"It's easy for me to find you, and if you want to find us, you can burn paper for this photo, and we can all see the content."
The immortals took the photo sluggishly, well, this is another more incomprehensible thing.
Burning paper... Is there really a courier from the underworld delivering letters?
...
P.S.: Howling Sorrymon has evolved into Super Howling Sorrymon. It is in really bad condition. Next I will write a serious containment, and there will be three updates tomorrow.
