183: Chapter 183 The Emperor's New Clothes Played Out in the Sanctuary Group Chat

Li Qingyue was silent for two seconds.

"Very bold."

"Thank you, Master."

"I am not complimenting you."

"Then I take back the thank you."

Li Qingyue glared at him and continued reading downwards.

The Stand touches space.

The Stand interferes with causality.

The Stand's reverse shaping of the host's mentality.

The mutual influence between the Stand's abilities and the user's personality.

These contents gradually exceeded the traditional card-making framework she was familiar with.

In Su Bai's design, cards were not merely tools for carrying energy.

It would observe the user's soul, change according to the user's experiences and mental tendencies, and might even inversely promote the host's mental evolution during long-term use.

This was no longer making a piece of equipment.

It was more like manufacturing a special existence between life, laws, and concepts.

Li Qingyue's gaze fell on a line of words.

[Stand Growth Potential: Depends on the host's mental evolution speed.]

She looked at it for a long time.

"How is the speed of mental evolution measured?"

"There is no unified standard for now."

"Then how do you judge whether the Stand can grow?"

"Based on combat feedback and soul wavelength changes."

"How are the changes in soul wavelengths recorded?"

"Using the Mental Resonance Array."

"What about the error margin of the Mental Resonance Array?"

"Theoretically lower than one percent."

"Theoretically?"

"It hasn't been verified yet."

Li Qingyue raised her eyes.

Su Bai sat opposite her with a calm expression.

Completely unaware that what he had just said was enough for more than a dozen Tier 9 researchers to go into seclusion for several consecutive years.

Li Qingyue lowered her head and continued flipping through the pages.

[Stands of the same type can resonate with each other.]

[Resonance intensity is related to the similarity of mental wavelengths.]

[There is a possibility of mutual interference between Stand abilities.]

[Multiple Stand users can construct a temporary mental network.]

[The mental network can transmit partial visual, auditory, and spatial information.]

Li Qingyue's fingers gradually tightened.

Although she understood every word, she couldn't judge whether these structures could truly operate.

What was even more unsettling was that there seemed to be a completely self-consistent logic among these theories.

Each part seemed taken for granted.

But once one tried to trace the underlying principles, they would touch upon an incomprehensible blank space.

For the first time in front of Su Bai, Li Qingyue felt a sense of academic unfamiliarity.

That wasn't a field she was bad at.

Rather, it was a path she had never seen before in the past.

"Master?"

Su Bai noticed that she hadn't turned the page for a long time.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Li Qingyue turned the material to the last page.

"Overall passable."

Su Bai nodded.

"I think it's pretty good too."

"However, some details still have room for improvement."

"For example?"

Li Qingyue paused for a moment.

Of course, she couldn't say that she no longer understood it.

That would make the Master look very undignified.

"For example, this resonance network."

Li Qingyue pointed to one of the structures.

"You wrote it too conceptually, lacking specific boundary conditions."

"Which boundary conditions?"

"That is..."

Li Qingyue's brain raced at high speed.

"Under different Mental Power intensities, different law affinities, and different soul stabilities, there should be different resonance thresholds."

Su Bai began to think seriously.

After a moment, he nodded.

"Master is right."

"I will add it."

Li Qingyue let out a soft sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

She had at least pointed out a problem.

Yet she didn't notice that the content Su Bai added merely expanded her rather general suggestion into three pages of complete computational models.

Furthermore, she couldn't understand two of those pages at all.

"I will take this theory back to the Sanctuary first."

Li Qingyue stood up.

"I will have the core members verify it together."

"Sorry to trouble you, Master."

"What trouble is this."

Li Qingyue put away the materials, trying hard to maintain her composure.

After turning around, however, she immediately opened the spatial communication.

She didn't send out the complete materials.

She only intercepted the parts of the Stand theory related to mental manifestation, law touching, and growth potential, and dropped them into the highest-level core group chat of the Truth Sanctuary.

This group chat was different from ordinary Sanctuary groups.

The group members consisted only of Tier 9 Card Creators and a few Tier 9 researchers; there were no disciples, no low-tier members, and no external personnel were allowed to join.

Even Researcher Yun Zhi was not among them.

This place gathered the top card-making scholars of the Dragon Country.

They had once jointly discussed the manufacturing method of Tier 9 Rainbow Cards and had argued for months over a single Spatial Circuit.

Everyone possessed academic achievements sufficient to influence an era.

Li Qingyue originally just wanted to ask them to help verify the Stand theory.

The message was sent.

The group chat instantly went quiet.

One minute.

Three minutes.

Five minutes.

Ten minutes passed.

No one replied.

Li Qingyue sat on the sofa in the villa's living room, the expression on her face gradually turning subtle.

Su Bai sat opposite her drinking tea, completely unaware of how huge a mental shock this material had caused in the Tier 9 Card Creator group.

Inside the core group chat of the Truth Sanctuary:

More than a dozen Tier 9 masters stared at the materials simultaneously.

A Tier 9 Saint Master researching spatial structures had enlarged the projection to its limit.

Yet the more it was enlarged, the more the circuit resembled a deep nebula.

He could see every node within it, but couldn't understand why the nodes were connected this way.

A master researching soul materials was reconstructing the mental manifestation part using three different simulation methods.

The first time, the simulated Stand had no head.

The second time, the Stand had a head but no body.

The third time, the Stand appeared completely, but sucked the host's soul into the card the moment it established a connection with the host.

The master silently closed the simulator.

Not daring to try a fourth time.

On the other side, the Saint Master responsible for researching law interference stared fixedly at that section: [Mental direct contact with the Law of Time].

He wrote down twenty-seven possible operating methods on his scratch paper.

Each one could explain part of the effect.

Each one would contradict itself in the next step.

He deleted it.

Rewrote it.

Deleted it again.

In the end, only a big question mark was left on the paper.

No one was still speaking in the group chat.

It wasn't that they had no thoughts.

It was that no one was sure whether their own thoughts were correct.

Everyone knew that Li Qingyue sending out this material must have the meaning of a test.

Perhaps it was testing the feasibility of some new theory.

Perhaps it was testing whether they could see the high-dimensional structures hidden within.

More likely, Li Qingyue had already completely understood it and simply deliberately sent the materials to them, letting them find the answers themselves.

If someone jumped out at this time and said they didn't understand, wouldn't that be equivalent to actively admitting they were inferior to Li Qingyue?

Therefore, everyone chose silence.

Until ten minutes later, a Tier 9 blacksmith finally sent a message.

[Saint Master Jin Yan: The convergence method of the seventh-layer circuit is very interesting.]

Everyone in the group chat raised their heads simultaneously.

Someone let out a sigh of relief.

Someone showed a look of shock and suspicion.

Another person immediately reopened the seventh-layer circuit.

Saint Master Jin Yan sent another message.

[Saint Master Jin Yan: It looks complex, but it actually returns to simplicity.]

[Saint Master Jin Yan: Stripping Mental Power away from traditional multi-node driving and inversely constructing a single-point reality anchor—this line of thought has the aesthetic of soul materials science.]

After a brief pause, the group chat began to liven up.

[Saint Master Xinghui: Indeed. The seventh layer seems to be weakening the circuit, but in reality, it provides an absolutely pure mental channel for subsequent law contact.]

[Saint Master Hanyuan: The ninth group of formulas is equally commendable. Instead of pursuing energy scale, it discards all redundant structures, clearly having touched upon the divine realm.]

[Saint Master Tianheng: I am more concerned about the Stand's growth potential. Being able to let cards evolve according to the host's mentality, this design has broken through the traditional concept of equipment.]

[Saint Master Gumu: The resonance structure of Stands of the same type is very elegant. Unfortunately, I still need to read it a few more times to understand how it specifically operates.]

Li Qingyue watched the group chat rapidly scroll, and her expression gradually grew odd.

She really wanted to know how much these people actually understood.

[Supreme of Time and Space · Li Qingyue: Since you all understand, why don't you specifically explain the practical role of the seventh-layer circuit?]

The group chat paused instantly.
