Zhao Changhe ignored the blind man's complaints.
Old Xia suggested not to rely too much on the Heavenly Book, and Zhao Changhe agreed with him.
Old Xia was able to reach his current level with just one page of the Heavenly Book. It is impossible that he relied entirely on this page of the Heavenly Book. He basically relied on himself. Zhao Changhe had already consciously controlled himself in the first two pages. He would be anxious if he didn't get the Heavenly Book. He wanted to get rid of the sense of dependence. Of course, it was not appropriate to say this to the blind man, making her feel that it was good for her to ignore the Heavenly Book because of a woman.
Just make sure it is Night Quicksand, this is an unexpected gain that is more worth noting.
Night Quicksand is the last missing item to forge the Night Emperor's Sword. It has long been the only thing missing to forge the sword.
Sanniang said that she didn't pay much attention to it, which was a bit unfair, because there was no clue at all. Who would be so stubborn to fiddle with such an illusory thing? It's not like she has nothing to do...
This doesn't mean that she really doesn't care. In fact, she cares a lot in her heart. Every time she goes to a place, she pays special attention to it. Sanniang has been searching for the Five Spirits Clan overseas for more than half a year, but has found nothing.
There was no information about the Night Quicksand anywhere, and I thought I had to go to some mysterious and unknown secret place to get it, but there was so much of it right under my nose, so much that it could be used to form the sky... It even looked like it might not have just been used up, and there was a high probability that there was some left under the platform...
I scratched my head and thought for a long time. It turned out that I had never asked Lao Xia about this before. At that time, I was very opposed to him and was stubborn in my defense. It was impossible for me to ask him anything.
Actually, Lao Xia should have a lot of good stuff. He traveled all over the world in the first half of his life, and he had gone through many more secret realms than Ying Wuzhi, some of which were extremely difficult. Moreover, Lao Xia had killed gods, for example, he had killed Buddha, and the introduction was that he had killed a Buddhist god, so Lao Xia might still have Buddhist spoils in his hands, and maybe others.
"Why didn't you tell me before that we've been here..."
"I've told you so many times that I'm not your guide, why should I teach you where to find treasures? Do you have some misunderstanding about our relationship?" The blind man sneered, "You still want to mess with me in your heart. You want me to teach you this and that for no reason. Why..."
"Hey, even though we are familiar with each other, I can still sue you for defamation if you say anything wrong. When did I ever want to mess with you?"
“…” The blind man was too lazy to pay attention to him.
You don't want to do it
Don’t I know that both you and your father-in-law hate me? As for how to do it, maybe your method is more vicious than your father-in-law’s.
Zhao Changhe pondered for a moment and went under the platform to look for the secret door. There must be collectibles here. It was confirmed to be Ye Liusha. The matter of Ye Di's sword forging could now be put on the agenda.
With the current level of ability to observe auras, secret doors are not difficult to find. One can tell at a glance where there is a distinctive aura. Zhao Changhe quickly found the secret door under the platform, and used his Crane Controlling Skill to open the door from the inside. The scene inside surprised Zhao Changhe.
I had thought that Old Xia would have collected a lot of top-level treasures, but it turns out that he doesn't. What's here are basically materials - the remaining materials for building this underground sky dome, and some of them may have been used for previous training. Judging from this situation, it is very likely that even the Dragon Bird was used for preliminary training.
It seems that in the second half of his cultivation, Xia Longyuan doesn't seem to be very interested in collecting treasures, otherwise he wouldn't have left the secret realms in various places unattended... He is quite different in all aspects.
There is fire in the center of the ground, a very special underground fire. There is a furnace above the underground fire, a forging furnace with a very special shape, and the faint light of the treasure looks like a fairy. Zhao Changhe looked at the air and could almost see that the underground fire here connected all directions, gathered the energy of the mountains and rivers, and attracted the Nanming Lihuo - this thing has another name, the Suzaku Fire.
That's right, it's that Suzaku... But this isn't the collection of Suzaku Fire, it's the fire that's being ignited by the earth veins, the real source of the fire isn't here, this is a special formation that allows all directions to be used.
This sky was made by refining tools, and it was closely integrated with the earth veins, so Xia Longyuan could point to the sky and reach any location...
If we were to say the most special treasure here, it might be this underground fire and furnace
Zhao Changhe finally looked into Xia Longyuan's page of heavenly book and his brows immediately wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
I thought it might be space. The things related to Lao Xia seemed to have the meaning of controlling the space of the universe, but this exploration revealed something even more outrageous.
This page is not about space, but about cause and effect... I don't know if the falling out with Buddhism was because of the fight over this page, probably.
Is cause and effect one of the martial arts? Of course it is, but its mystery has far surpassed the previous page of faith, luck and merit, and is much more ethereal...
Therefore, all of Lao Xia's actions can be attributed to "one cause leads to many results". He turned himself into the cause of all results and controlled everything. In his prime, he should have been able to do many outrageous operations, but he did not have a complete understanding, and the final failure can be completely attributed to the backlash of cause and effect.
For Zhao Changhe's current level, the gap is too big, and it's too early to contact. But some of the concepts can still be applied... For example, to forge the Night Emperor's sword, not only is the material Night Flowing Sand missing, but you also need to have enough of the will of the stars in the sky to match the sword will of this sword blank and successfully forge it. If there is no fusion of sword will, it will only be a sword shape, a failed, soulless sword.
So the question is, in order to break through the limitations of his own cognition of the Four Symbols, the Night Emperor needed to forge this sword to understand and comprehend the stars outside the Four Symbols. When he realized it, the sword was also completed. So who is the cause and who is the result
Should you comprehend the stars before forging the sword, or comprehend the stars while forging the sword? Which is the goal and which is the result
The inside of this sword blank already contains the foundation of the stars, so why should it be cut apart and thrown away? If you must first comprehend the meaning of the stars before forging a sword, isn't that like looking for fish in a tree or shooting at a target in the air
Is the correct path to forge swords while having a certain basis of knowledge about the stars, combining it with the meaning in the sword, and finally integrating the destination of the path
In addition, why did he have to forge this sword? Was it because he fell into the karma of the Night Emperor
If you want to continue this cause and effect but don’t want to suffer backlash in the future, what do you need to do
You need to be different from the Night Emperor in your intentions. You can't be greedy and pretend to be the Night Emperor to deceive Zhuque into surrendering. You must tell you clearly that I have nothing to do with the Night Emperor, and you must recognize me. If you can do this, you can avoid the backlash of cause and effect to the greatest extent, so you must be careful.
When it comes to comprehending the stars, I have an advantage and a disadvantage, which is also the biggest difference between me and the people of this world.
The advantage is that one can surpass the cognition of people in this world and know what the real starry sky is. Naturally, one's cognition is more correct and extensive than the Four Symbols and Big Dipper in their minds.
This is also the disadvantage. The cognition of the universe is too preconceived. However, many martial arts in this world are realized through the resonance of the sky in this plane. This can be verified in many formations and the exercises of the Four Symbols Sect. They do exist and are effective. If you do not admit that it is real and insist on thinking that it is all about the stars in the universe millions of light years away, and that the people in this world are all idiots, then you are incompatible with the martial arts of this world and cannot use it.
This is also the reason why Zhao Changhe has always felt a little alienated from the matter of sword-making, and the reason why the formation has never been worthy of his "martial arts genius" and he has only learned it superficially.
However, Xia Longyuan is a little different from himself. Although he knows what the stars in the universe are, his understanding is relatively shallow and the imprint of his thoughts is not as deep as his own. Therefore, it is easier for him to combine the cognition of the two worlds and try to construct his own unique sky.
This is the most suitable reference for Zhao Changhe than anything else. It is priceless to be able to traverse the path that the predecessors have walked.
Zhao Changhe looked at the earth fire and the forge and hesitated for a moment, but finally left the dark room and chose to study the sky itself first.
Reaching out to touch the sky which was as soft as satin and flowing like sand, Zhao Changhe's eyes slowly filled with amazement.
In fact, the combination is very simple, it just needs a reminder - make this sky curtain into a sand table with high and low dimensions, some stars are farther away, some stars are closer, and like sand flowing, this can also construct the concept of the distance and movement of stars in the mind, not a flat curtain in the cognition of this world. And it is not as exaggerated and vast as the original cognition, and it becomes a usable category.
But it’s just a simple direction of thinking, that is, the genius’s ideas give people infinite inspiration.
If I use this kind of star power to construct my own Night Emperor Sword, is it possible
"Empress Dowager!" The guards' respectful salutes came from above. Zhao Changhe looked back from his thoughts and saw Huangfu Qing floating down.
"They said you went to my bedroom to look for me before?" Huangfu Qing climbed onto the platform, with a little resentment in his eyes: "I thought you were busy getting along with Tang Wanzhuang, and busy satisfying your pleasure of playing with the emperor, and you didn't have time to pay attention to me for two days..."
"That's not the case." Zhao Changhe said with a smile, "You don't have time to deal with me... We are all busy, and it's not the time to talk about love. There is a long way to go. Are you done with your work now?"
Huangfu Qing said: "The facts in all aspects are too complicated and I can't finish them for the time being."
"Then why do you have time to come here to see me?"
"Because... the treasures here include the ground platform and the sky dome. The Venerable didn't have time to take care of them before, so he just ordered people to watch over them. When he has time, he will see if he should move them back to the main altar. I heard that you were here, so I naturally came to take a look."
Zhao Changhe smiled slightly: "Your Excellency, what you mean is that this is the spoils of the Four Elephants Sect and I can't take it?"
Huangfu Qing hesitated and said, "Your Excellency shouldn't ask you not to take anything... But you can't move everything away either, right?"
Zhao Changhe gently held her waist and whispered in her ear: "Qing'er..."
Huangfu Qingren was stunned for a moment: "What are you doing..."
"If I want all the things, will you help me or the Venerable?"
