193: More discussion on heaven, earth and martial arts
Alien Planet's aversion is similar to a Mother Planet's favor.
A Mother Planet's favor is consumed by gaining 'miraculous encounters' and 'Opportunities' that one shouldn't have through 'wishing'.
Alien Planet's aversion will also weaken as the Alien Planet retaliates.
Like now.
Yang Dian, who was cutting the giant python's meat with a knife, clearly sensed that the Alien Planet's will's aversion towards him had been cut by more than half.
Old Daoist Qingfeng, seeing Yang Dian casually cutting the giant python's meat, couldn't help but lean over and ask curiously:
"What are you thinking about?"
"The hallucination that appeared after the dream butterfly just now?"
Clearly.
The Old Daoist wasn't giving up, feeling that he shouldn't be the only one to make a fool of himself, and wanted to pry something more out of Yang Dian's mouth.
Yang Dian glanced at the Old Daoist and stated the question he had been pondering:
"The Alien Planet's will's aversion towards me has decreased."
"It feels like the Alien Planet's will is a bit too human-like."
"I killed living beings on the Alien Planet, so the Alien Planet developed an aversion to me."
"The giant python's attack was like the Alien Planet reaching its limit of tolerance and throwing a punch at me."
"After throwing a punch, its Qi dissipated a bit."
"Daoist, do you think the Alien Planet's will could be like the Heavenly Dao in mythological novels, possessing its own consciousness?"
The keyword 'Dao' was triggered, and the Old Daoist's expression also became more solemn:
"In my opinion, this is a kind of Heavenly Law."
"You committed evil on the Alien Planet, so you were 'averted' by the Alien Planet's Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao then sent down a calamity upon you."
"Chen Jie killing the giant python was blocking a calamity for you, taking the tribulation that originally belonged to you onto himself."
"Now he is also averted by the Alien Planet's will, and a calamity will befall him if it progresses further."
"But if no one blocks the calamity for you, would you have to kill the giant python yourself?"
"If you personally kill the giant python, would the Alien Planet's will develop an even greater aversion to you, and then send down more and greater calamities?"
At this point, the Old Daoist changed his tone again, saying:
"In my opinion, this world can also be seen as a 'person'."
"We, these people, are like viruses that have come from outside and invaded the 'body'."
"If we don't do anything, it's fine; the 'person' treats us as non-existent, and we can coexist relatively peacefully."
"Once we do something bad to it, the 'body's' immune mechanism will be triggered, trying every possible way to kill or expel us."
"As for whether the 'person' has consciousness?"
"Perhaps it does, or perhaps it doesn't."
The Old Daoist flicked his Daoist robe, clasped his hands behind his back, and looked up at the sky:
"But that's not important."
"What's important is that we must use the power of the endless world to Cultivate ourselves and make ourselves strong enough."
"Only then will we have the confidence and the strength to wield our weapons against Heaven."
"What if it has consciousness?"
"Just split it with a sword."
Yang Dian gave Old Daoist Qingfeng a thumbs-up:
"Daoist, you're awesome."
Old Daoist Qingfeng waved his hand with a smile:
"Oh, I'm just boasting, don't take it seriously."
"Wielding weapons against Heaven."
"How can tiny people like us compare to the entire world, the entire planet? The mass isn't even on the same level."
"Could it really be like in novels, where a single cell has the power of a star?"
Yang Dian touched the ring on his hand:
"It seems it's not impossible."
"Daoist, aren't there Awakened with spatial abilities?"
"Do you think we can control space through Martial Dao power, and then open up dimensional spaces within each cell?"
"At that time, one cell would be a piece of spatial power, and gathering the power of 60 trillion spaces, it seems it's not impossible to blow up a planet."
Old Daoist Qingfeng's eyes widened:
"You kid, you really dare to think big?"
Yang Dian roasted a slice of snake meat, threw it into his mouth, and chewed, making crunching sounds:
"Why not?"
"Bold assumptions, careful verification, continuous adjustment, rapid iteration."
"Why can Martial Dao only Cultivate Qi and blood, and not the power of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth?"
"How can the path of Martial Dao be such an inconvenient path?"
The Old Daoist picked up a skewer of meat slices and also placed it over the fire to start grilling:
"If one can master the power of Heaven and Earth through Martial Dao, then that's not practicing martial arts, it's Cultivating Immortals."
Yue Shan, who had been sitting silently listening to the two chat, leaned over:
"I actually think what little Yang said makes sense."
"If we were in ancient times, would we be any different from Immortals?"
"If we can thoroughly research the essence of elemental energy, perhaps we really can master the power of Heaven and Earth through Martial Dao."
"The seventh stage of Martial Dao doesn't necessarily have to be limb Rebirth or immortality."
"It could also be using the power of Heaven and Earth to unleash greater personal might."
Lei Ming, who was skewering snake meat and sprinkling cumin on it, shivered when he saw Yang Dian and the other two all look at him:
"Why are you looking at me?"
"What, do you want to dissect me?"
"I'm telling you, that's illegal!"
The three burst out laughing in unison, and Yue Shan spoke after laughing:
"But you have to eat one bite at a time, and walk one step at a time."
"It's hard to thoroughly research the abilities of Awakened all at once."
"After all, we researched for more than ten years before, and we didn't achieve any Major Achievements."
"So I think we shouldn't take too big a step; we should first research the talents of physically gifted Awakened."
"They are most like us."
Yang Dian nodded thoughtfully:
"Last time, when I was apprehending a foreign physical Awakened named Clayton, I accidentally beat him into a vegetative state."
"His talent was gigantism; after becoming a vegetative person, he remained in a giant state, over five meters tall."
"Perhaps we can study his energy circulation method to see if we can transform his talent into a Martial Dao Cultivation Technique."
"If his gigantism talent is evolved into a Cultivation Technique, and even goes a step further, wouldn't it become the 'Heavenly Law and Earthly Form' from mythology?"
Old Daoist Qingfeng smacked his lips:
"You young people really dare to think."
Yue Shan chewed on the snake meat and nodded:
"I think it has potential."
"Those who train muscles in gyms can enlarge their bodies when they flex their deltoids and latissimus dorsi."
"They can only simply control muscles to achieve that, but we have Qi and blood, so we can do much more than them..."
Time quickly passed as the few people sat around the bonfire, roasting snake meat and chatting.
Half an hour later, Chen Jie returned from his dream butterfly state and joined the conversation.
Thus, everyone's exploration of the seventh stage of Martial Dao also included concepts like belief, spiritual theory, and practicing Laws... In addition, Yang Dian also shared the mural he had seen in Professor Shen Fei's laboratory.
When he took down a piece of the stone wall and replicated the mural one-to-one with Qi and blood, the others who saw the mural also felt anger.
But everyone also discovered that as long as they could control their anger, that anger also slightly improved their strength.
Thus, on their journey to explore the seventh stage, everyone added the concept of emotion...
The concept of emotion was added to everyone's path of exploring the seventh stage...
