#428 - Enlightenment of the Divine Brain
Wang Jixuan stared at Shen Qionglin;
Shen Qionglin looked at Daoist Wang with a smile.
Soon, Wang Jixuan nodded.
Since Shen Qionglin spoke with such confidence, there was no harm in letting her try. If the Dark Sect and Tianluo Crowds kept coming, and the experts who came each time were stronger than the last, it was unknown whether he could protect this treasure.
"Here."
"Thank you, boss!"
Shen Qionglin took the Stone of the Past with both hands, her smile radiant.
She took a light breath, as if bearing a lot of pressure, staring at the constantly churning images on the Stone of the Past for a while, then raised her head and said:
"The third plan is actually the only effective method I can think of.
"Create two interconnected pseudo-stargates, establish a space teleportation channel, and then put it in the channel, destroying the channel to create a moment of distorted space-time.
"However, this method has some risks… This thing may be lost, and no one knows how much power that moment of distorted space-time actually carries.
"But from a certain perspective, if you want to open this kind of treasure that is clearly higher than our current world dimension, you may only be able to use this kind of power that is beyond our understanding."
Wang Jixuan frowned and said: "Isn't this still an experiment?"
"Not just an experiment," Shen Qionglin said, "there is also a… intuition."
Ling Tong suddenly asked from the side: "Isn't the technology source of the stargate the Ina civilization?"
"It is the Ina civilization, but the Ina civilization also obtained similar technologies from some more ancient civilizations, and carried out deduction and improvement."
Shen Qionglin said slowly:
"Technologies such as space jumps and the establishment of space-time channels actually exceed the level of the Ina civilization.
"They are only using this technology, they didn't invent it. It's like our current plane of existence has an obvious BUG. Using this BUG within a limited range will not affect the stability of space.
"Establishing point-to-point jump channels and space teleportation pipelines is the technology that utilizes this BUG."
Wang Jixuan said: "You've said so much, but you still haven't explained what the relationship between this technology and this stone is."
"It also comes from an advanced civilization, possibly from the dimension you want to go to."
Shen Qionglin encouraged:
"Anyway, let's try it.
"My intuition tells me that doing so is very likely to stimulate this stone.
"Moreover, my intuition is not based on sensibility, it is the answer directly given by my brain, and I cannot reproduce the calculation process."
Daoist Wang fell silent.
Shen Qionglin honestly returned the Stone of the Past to Daoist Wang, waiting for him to make the final decision.
Looking at Wang Jixuan's appearance, Ling Tong also knew that this honeycomb briquette-like stone was indeed very important to him.
He had never hesitated so long on one thing.
"Let's try it."
Wang Jixuan said:
"Then I will use the Alien Soul to take it into that channel later, so even if the experiment fails, I am confident that I can pull it out."
"Okay," Shen Qionglin said immediately, "I will let Peony send the equipment over, it will be assembled in this area, and it will take about three or four days."
Wang Jixuan said: "Tong, urge Lao Fu's side, I'm a little uneasy. See if he can bring the First Fleet over before the experiment… In case some demons and ghosts pop up, it's more reliable to have more combat power."
"Understood."
Ling Tong and Shen Qionglin turned around and sent messages.
Daoist Wang looked at the stone held in both hands, with a few more thoughts in his eyes.
Then, taking advantage of this gap, he would try to refine it again himself.
What if it works?
Wouldn't that save these risks?
…Tsk, there is no what-if.
Wang Jixuan had to admit that compared to the second life, the third life had not made much obvious progress.
Especially in terms of comprehension and talent.
The Stone of the Past was still in that warm and dull state. No matter what method Wang Jixuan used to spy on and seduce it, there was no response.
It does not exist spiritually;
It's just like a stubborn stone;
But it has several strange effects.
It has sheltered Wang Jixuan's remnant soul, contains the Great Dao of Time, and even has some powerful power to calm people's minds.
Outside the porthole, two huge 'sailing ships' floated quietly hundreds of kilometers apart.
Hundreds of kilometers in the empty space may only be considered a relatively small distance.
Each 'sailing ship' carries a simple pseudo-stargate.
Compared with the pseudo-stargate developed by the Blade Beast, this kind of short-distance two-way space teleportation device made by humans has a simpler style, consumes less spirit energy for each activation, and has very good stability.
These two gates are being debugged.
Wang Jixuan's Alien Soul will pass through these two gates later. In the extremely short time of traversing the space channel, the outside will destroy the channel established by the two gates through space oscillation technology.
Thereby using the twisted force of time and space to try to stimulate the Stone of the Past.
This thing…
It doesn't sound very reliable, but Shen Qionglin is very insistent.
Wang Jixuan also discussed a question with Shen Qionglin yesterday.
[If one day the Blade Beasts are all killed and there is no crystal core supply, can humans still use the stargate?]
Shen Qionglin's answer was somewhat unexpected to Wang Jixuan.
"Absolutely, you don't have to worry about this issue."
Shen Qionglin said quickly:
"Actually, according to normal circumstances, there is no option of spiritual energy in the energy system of this star field.
"The sign of a first-level civilization is to control nuclear fusion energy, to be able to get rid of the planet's gravity on the civilization, and to efficiently develop and utilize the energy on other celestial bodies within the same solar system.
"The sign of a second-level civilization is to be able to control the energy within the solar system, such as building a Dyson sphere to allow the sun to continuously provide energy.
"This energy comes from the collision and transformation of various particles.
"The space teleportation technology that the Ina civilization obtained from more ancient civilizations uses stellar energy. Space teleportation gates are set up near each star.
"Later, it was your arrival that changed everything in a very short time.
"Spiritual energy.
"As you once told me, it is actually spiritual Qi.
"Spiritual Qi is attached to the planet and is closely related to the souls of intelligent life. The increase to the individual life is much greater than other energy systems. It can greatly extend human life. The individuals of the Ina civilization are based on their original mastery of cell technology, using spiritual energy to give spiritual practitioners tens of thousands of years of life.
"The Ina civilization organically combined the two.
"You can actually gain a lot of benefits from this… For example, use the innovative technology of the Ina civilization to go to the pure spiritual Qi world and do whatever you want.
"Peony and the mechanical transformation she leads, the mechanical legions that combine formations with the latest technological crystallization, will also form a staggered blow to your original world."
Wang Jixuan: …
"Okay," the Daoist smiled shyly, "Maybe I was too arrogant before and didn't consider this."
"This is the complementarity of civilizations," Shen Qionglin smiled, "It's not too late to pay attention now. Peony herself stores massive amounts of data, and she herself can create a complete mechanical civilization."
Her words seemed to imply something.
At this moment, Wang Jixuan suddenly felt that the woman standing in front of him was emitting a faint golden light.
She seems like a wise man.
The kind that can guide you through the maze.
Therefore, these two or three days, except for occasionally eating and sleeping with Ling Tong, the Daoist would actively communicate with Shen Qionglin.
Shen Qionglin had undergone obvious changes compared to eighty years ago.
Her knowledge has become richer, and her intuition is more敏锐. Wang Jixuan even consulted her on several cultivation issues, and she gave some unique insights into Dao, Dharma, and Truth.
Wang Jixuan still remembers several points of the communication these days very deeply.
For example:
"Then Professor Shen, what do you think, are immortals and civilizations that collectively ascend to the upper realm in the same high-level plane?"
"There should be a difference."
Shen Qionglin said:
"Based on my limited analysis of cultivation, ascending to the upper realm is not an end point, but only a stage achievement.
"Above immortals, there should still be a lot of room for improvement. Their cultivation path is to comprehend the rules of the universe's operation.
"The upper limit of this path is individual becoming God, a true God, omniscient, omnipotent, indestructible, coexisting with the universe, and then pursuing transcendence from the prison of the universe itself."
Or:
"Little Shen, what do you think of the Immortal Forbidden Land? How big is its range?"
"I analyzed the information Peony passed to me… According to my understanding, this Immortal Forbidden Land should not refer to our current star field, but the entire macroscopic material universe."
"Material universe?"
"Yes," Shen Qionglin's eyes were very bright at the time, "To be precise, it includes our observable universe, this universe that was produced from the initial singularity Big Bang, containing 500 trillion galactic universe islands."
Wang Jixuan: …
"I don't quite understand," the Daoist humbly asked for advice, "Why is there this conclusion?"
"One aspect is my intuition, and the other aspect is my guess."
Shen Qionglin simply said:
"According to the structure of the observable universe, there is actually nothing special about our star field.
"This star field is located on a spiral arm of the Milky Way, only a local area of the Milky Way, and in the entire universe, there are many, many galaxies and huge structural celestial bodies like the Milky Way.
“There's nothing special about this starfield.”
“According to our latest calculations, and the exchange of scientific knowledge with different civilizations in this starfield, we can draw a conclusion.”
“This starfield is just a part of the entire Milky Way galaxy.”
“The only condition limiting our outward development from this starfield is the limitation of our interstellar gate technology. This should be the threshold set for us by those civilizations that have completed collective ascension.”
“Want to have more resources and occupy more planets, kid? Go and truly master directional warp technology and start your own sea of stars.”
“Something like that.”
“From this perspective, the Immortal Forbidden Land mentioned by those two groups of foreign cultivators most likely refers to this universe, and they possess the ability to cross from this plane to another, just like you came here from the cultivation world.”
In short, Wang Jixuan himself has gained a lot.
This also made him pay more attention to 'Earth technology'.
Daoist Wang moved his gaze from the porthole to the Stone of the Past in his hand, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Time is a bit tight.
Six tenths of the three-month deadline has already passed.
He didn't know if the Dark Sect and Tianluo would send out Mahayana stage experts;
Even, could there be existences above Immortals?
Wang Jixuan has recently been making the worst plans.
It's not that he hasn't thought about escaping.
These two organizations have one thing in common—they must reduce interference with the current world. They shouldn't kill ordinary people on a large scale like the Obsidian forces, and the two can also check each other.
But can he escape for a while, can he escape for a lifetime?
Wang Jixuan's current request is not just to survive the Heavenly Tribulation. With the perfect Dao Foundation and the experience and memories of the second life, he is somewhat prepared to survive the Heavenly Tribulation and resist Heavenly Retribution.
What he is currently thinking about is how to withstand and escape that Immortal's finger.
Whether that finger is aimed at him or at the so-called Immortal Forbidden Land will lead to two results…
Ding Ding.
The communicator in front of Wang Jixuan automatically popped up a projection screen.
[Shen Qionglin (Envoy of the God Domain): The first experiment can be carried out in two hours.]
Wang Jixuan replied with an okay.
Before he could close the screen, a slightly flickering halo appeared in the center of the screen, and a familiar avatar jumped out of the halo.
Fu Jian sent a video call.
Wang Jixuan clicked agree, and Fu Jian's virtual image—a burly, bald strong man wearing a white military uniform—appeared in the center of the projection screen.
Why use a virtual image?
His separately surviving brain couldn't possibly speak.
“Long time no see,” Fu Jian sighed softly, showing Wang Jixuan a slight smile, his eyes very complicated, “You're still the same.”
“Did you bring the fleet over?”
“A small number of ships, the other ships are still behind, the interstellar gate needs to be charged.”
Fu Jian explained simply, and without much small talk, he cut to the topic:
“The two groups of people who came to you for trouble, are they all cultivators?”
“Yes.”
“Are they from the same source as you?”
“Not sure, but the nature of the mana is similar.”
Wang Jixuan crossed his arms and explained quickly:
“The reason I asked you to bring the fleet over is also for peace of mind. If the enemy is too strong later, I will choose to defect to one side. You don't need to fight them.”
Fu Jian smiled and said, "Your peace of mind has cost us a lot of manpower and material resources."
“Hmm, can't I?”
“Of course you can,” Fu Jian sighed with a smile, “I never thought that humanity could have the situation it has today. I can now fully understand why the Yina civilization respectfully calls you the Great Pioneer.”
Wang Jixuan shrugged and didn't respond.
He placed the Stone of the Past in front of Fu Jian's projection screen, with a bit more determination in his eyes.
“I'm going to start the experiment here later to see if I can activate this thing. Move your fleet near the moon as well, and don't let anyone interfere with this experiment.”
“What is this again?”
“Treasure,” Wang Jixuan asked in confusion, “Didn't Mudan report these messages to you?”
“I'm retired, now it's equivalent to being rehired after retirement,” Fu Jian said with a smile, “Okay, I'll bring the ships over now, it will probably take four hours.”
“Then I'll do the experiment first, talk later, I'll try again.”
Wang Jixuan hung up the communication.
He looked at the pseudo-interstellar gate that had already begun to be activated, still feeling a little unsure in his heart.
This stone…
Wang Jixuan became ruthless, forced a drop of blood from his fingertip, dripped it into the honeycomb holes of the stone, and then waited quietly.
Then, two hours passed.
Wang Jixuan's other soul dejectedly hugged the Stone of the Past, stood in front of a pseudo-interstellar gate, and listened to Shen Qionglin introducing the precautions.
Alas, clumsy methods are useless.
Still too trusting of science.
