Chapter 157: The Three-Body Earth That Went Astray

"Holy crap!"

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he looked at the improved meridian diagrams.

He had practiced the Nine Yang Divine Art and had even brought it to the stage of Great Completion; he understood the Nine Yang Divine Art extremely well, and could understand the meridian diagrams for it at a single glance.

Now, looking at the brand-new Nine Yang Divine Art meridian diagrams provided by Luo Ji, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

That was no longer the Nine Yang Divine Art at all.

To be precise, the meridian diagrams listed by Luo Ji included not only the Nine Yang Divine Art, but also the Pure Yang Boundless Skill, Shaolin Nine Yang Skill, Wudang Nine Yang Skill, and Emei Nine Suns Art.

Each of the three different methods contained relevant annotations, and they had clearly undergone rigorous verification; they included not only notes from scientists, but also surveys of the cultivation experiences of many famous figures from Wudang, as well as those from Emei.

He had even written down the insights and experiences of figures from the Shaolin Temple regarding their practice of the Shaolin Nine Yang Skill.

Furthermore, he had attached the insights and experiences of various individuals above them, along with diagrams of the operation of meridians and acupoints, comparing the strengths and weaknesses of the three.

It could be said to be quite rigorous; the control over various variables was very well-handled. In terms of scientific research theory, the entire scientific process was rigorous and orderly, sufficient to write a very excellent thesis.

Not only that, but there were also subsequent insights and experiences from figures in other major sects regarding their practice of different methods.

The common methods in the martial arts world, along with the common meridian and acupoint operation paths, were all included above.

The cultivation methods had not only been verified in the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying World, but also in the Demi-God and Semi-Devil World where Qiao Feng resided, and rigorous, practical reports had been obtained.

"Currently, the measurement of the concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence is still being calculated, and the relevant instruments have not yet been manufactured, but judging from cultivation performance, the internal energy cultivation of characters originating from the Demi-God and Semi-Devil World is clearly faster than that of characters from the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying World."

"Here, a rigorous comparison has been conducted, comparing the speed of practicing the same method by characters in the same world under the same nutritional conditions, while also corresponding to characters with different martial arts cultivation levels; there is also a comparison of the progress of practicing the method, and characters with weak physiques practicing..."

"Thus, it can be temporarily summarized that the corresponding Essence in the Demi-God and Semi-Devil World is more concentrated than the Essence in the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying World."

"And through similar experiments, comparing the many personnel collected by the World Association, the Heaven and Earth Essence in the Wind and Cloud world where Xiong Ba resides is a notch higher than the Heaven and Earth Essence in the Demi-God and Semi-Devil World."

"If we simply set the concentration of Heaven and Earth Essence in the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Slaying World to one, then the Heaven and Earth Essence level in the Demi-God and Semi-Devil World is approximately five, while the Heaven and Earth Essence in the world where Wind and Cloud resides is between fifteen and twenty..."

Zhang Xuan glanced at the corresponding report; it was clearly a simple conclusion, something that was almost common knowledge to many cultivators.

A simple assessment could evaluate the approximate level, but the figures in the technological world had conducted very rigorous experiments and carried out multiple rounds of verification.

A simple sentence had been piled up with a massive amount of data.

Zhang Xuan felt as if he had returned to his student days, once again feeling the fear of being dominated by relevant theses.

However, looking at the relevant conclusions and verifications in this regard, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

"Luo Ji has truly pushed the advantages of the technological world to the extreme."

Originally, Zhang Xuan thought that because Earth in the Three-Body World had its frontier technology blocked by the Sophons of the Trisolarans, Luo Ji had no way to continue deep research into the basic laws of cosmic physics, and thus turned to other directions.

He wanted to study the basic laws of the Universe in other worlds; he hadn't expected that after a turn of events, Luo Ji would suddenly turn to this direction.

He began to study cultivation with a technological perspective, and it was clear that he had achieved no small results.

Just now, Luo Ji said that the Great Restoration Pill could already be mass-produced, over six hundred pills per day, and heaven knows how many of the relevant Small Restoration Pills could be produced daily.

Just thinking about it made one's scalp tingle.

And more importantly, among the stack of relevant theses, Zhang Xuan also saw an optimal cultivation route tentatively drafted by the scientific personnel.

Daily provision of appropriate amounts of Peiyuan Pill and Foundation Establishment Pill, combined with the simplest, most upright and peaceful Daoist techniques for beginners, while also being able to cooperate with the Demon Sect's methods of stimulating bloodlines, similar to methods of burning essence and blood to speed up progress...

The parts and principles of burning essence and blood had been thoroughly researched; as long as one supplemented with some Great Restoration Pills and Peiyuan Pills after burning essence and blood, one could use the corresponding methods completely without worry, and it could also help the meridians and acupoints stabilize better afterward, allowing for continuous breakthroughs in a short period of time...

"This... the path of the Earthlings in the Three-Body World seems to have been led astray by me without me knowing it; this is about to go crooked to the heavens."

Zhang Xuan couldn't help but scratch his head, feeling that the development of things seemed to be out of his control.

Zhang Xuan felt that this set of operations was simply imaginative, while the others in the Chat Group were quite normal.

Qiao Feng: 【The power of technology is truly miraculous, it makes one exclaim in admiration. I have looked at the meridian teaching diagrams; I feel that the part about the Ren and Du Meridians can be further modified. You only have theory without corresponding practice; the route modified is theoretically the most reasonable, but the direction of the Ren and Du Meridians cannot be practiced directly. If one wants to clear the Ren and Du Meridians, it is much more difficult than usual...】

Xiong Ba: 【I agree with what Chief Qiao said. The clearing of the Ren and Du Meridians must indeed be handled with caution. Also, some of the basic valves in the Nine Yang Divine Art meridian teaching diagrams can be modified further. I see that in the practice of the Extraordinary Meridians, you should have borrowed from my Heavenly Frost Fist, but you have never practiced it, so you don't quite understand the key points within it...】

Zhang Sanfeng: 【The basic parts of the Shaolin Nine Yang Skill, Emei Nine Suns Art, and Wudang Nine Yang Skill are already very different from the original Nine Yang Divine Art. It is indeed a very good idea that you could think of combining these three methods together, re-absorbing the advantages of the three valves, and then combining them with the Nine Yang Divine Art.

However, there are a few methods among them that need to be strengthened in places where the Heaven and Earth Essence is concentrated; such practice is faster, but the world you are in is between one and two in your assessment of Heaven and Earth Essence, so the cultivation experience originating from Chief Qiao and Chief Xiong's worlds cannot be directly applied; it still needs to be changed a little...】

Zhang Xuan was still scratching his head here, while those few figures in the Chat Group were already chatting away, and they were talking with great logic.

Clearly, Zhang Xuan was a modern person, and even he felt a headache looking at such a thesis, but Xiong Ba, Qiao Feng, and Zhang Sanfeng were talking about it endlessly, one set after another, with no intention of stopping at all.

Judging from the proficiency of their conversation, it was clear that they had the habit of reading such theses daily, and they could see the key points at a glance.

Zhang Xuan was shocked; he hadn't expected that things would have such a bizarre development.

But thinking about it carefully, he felt that such a development was relatively reasonable.

"Why should only my strength and realm advance by leaps and bounds? The other members of the Chat Group are not dead; they all have sufficient wisdom, so of course they will develop different scenery."

"I can use the advantages of different worlds in the Chat Group to achieve my goals, and others can do the same, just like Luo Ji using the advantage that other worlds have not blocked his own, to actively develop technology."

"And Xiong Ba, Qiao Feng, and others use the technology of Luo Ji's world for large-scale development. In mutual utilization, not only is there no damage between each other, but they can all gain great benefits."

"I wonder if it is possible for me to use the technology of the world where Luo Ji is located for analysis, and then further improve my strength and realm."

Zhang Xuan watched them practicing like this, and also improving their realms; he was a bit shocked.

The subsequently improved Nine Yang Divine Art was already quite different from the original version of the Nine Yang Divine Art, and several versions had even been modified; there were versions suitable for the general public to practice, and professional versions suitable for a minority of people, customized versions.

There were also specially customized versions, specifically used for quickly digesting various kinds of pills...

The directions of development were categorized, but they were also set up very well.

It gave Zhang Xuan the urge to have his own methods join in and be improved.

But after observing carefully for a while, Zhang Xuan gave up this idea. Whether it was the Eight-Nine Profound Art or the Indestructible Heavenly Palace that he was currently practicing, the cultivation content was too high for Earth in the Three-Body World.

It was difficult for Earth's existing technology to parse them out. The fact that Earth in the Three-Body World could have such rapid development now was also due to some new data from the Eternal Star System.

If it relied on Earth's own technological strength, it would be quite difficult to quickly manufacture various pills, while simultaneously quickly analyzing the many methods in the Martial Arts world, finding their strengths and weaknesses, and integrating them.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan was only slightly envious, and then he didn't look further.

For him, what the other few figures were doing was very special, but it was of no great help to Zhang Xuan for the time being.

However, Zhang Xuan did not leave immediately, but helped the many figures in the Chat Group analyze the perfected version of the Nine Yang Divine Art together.

Zhang Xuan once had the experience of practicing it; he had once practiced the Nine Yang Divine Art to Great Completion, and he also had a good understanding of this method.

At the same time, Zhang Xuan's later cultivation realm advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had traveled a great distance in both the Eight-Nine Profound Art and the Indestructible Heavenly Art.

Looking back from his current realm at the current improved version of the Nine Yang Divine Art, he could also offer quite a few suggestions; moreover, in the process of this discussion, Zhang Xuan felt he had gained new understandings of the various meridians and acupoints of the human body, which was also quite beneficial to him.

After all, this was the most fundamental foundation for constructing cultivation; in the Martial Arts world, any figure capable of reaching this stage was a Grandmaster-level figure.

And even if many Grandmasters could not possibly have such a large volume of cultivation manuals to study, nor could they have research methods like modern science, to record the pros and cons of different figures practicing different techniques on a large scale and in large quantities, and to establish a corresponding database.

This was the unique advantage of a technological society after technology had developed to the point of industrialization.

Within a single sect, perhaps a figure with extremely high talent and aptitude, similar to Zhang Sanfeng, could appear and create multiple techniques, capable of heading in different directions, allowing a sect to take off all at once.

And in the technological world, perhaps it was impossible for very powerful methods and techniques to appear all at once, but it could allow many ordinary people to climb upward bit by bit based on massive amounts of data, avoiding most mistakes.

It could be said that it was entirely using large quantities of medicinal pills and cultivation data to push cultivation to develop forward bit by bit; it was entirely a case of brute force overcoming all obstacles.

Zhang Xuan participated in the discussion and felt he gained quite a lot; subsequently, even Fengyun Wuji joined in, and both felt they had gained a great deal.

When the discussion concluded, Zhang Xuan sat cross-legged in the palace of Shencheng, with countless starlight falling from the firmament; he silently contemplated for a while, and the Eight-Nine Profound Art actually advanced another step.

"However, there is still some distance to the Outer Scene Sixth Heaven; it won't be that fast. I didn't expect to have this kind of unexpected joy."

Zhang Xuan sighed slightly in wonder, feeling a bit of joy.

At the same time, he could not help but silently mourn for the Trisolarans of the Three-Body World.

"On Earth, there are four Wallfacers; the other three are easily understood by the Trisolarans through the observation of Sophons, and it is very easy for Wallbreakers to emerge.

"But facing Luo Ji, I estimate they will all go crazy. No one can figure out what Luo Ji is thinking. They cannot climb in terms of technology, and as a result, he actually started excavating Earth's ancient cultivation civilization. In the eyes of others, this is probably madness."

Zhang Xuan sighed, then shook his head.

The current development trend could be considered good overall.

And outside Shencheng, there was still an endless pouring of stars, and the Essence between the rivers of stars in the Universe was pouring down crazily, flowing into that area.

The pressure between the entire heaven and earth was becoming greater and greater, and also more and more terrifying.

Groups upon groups of powerful figures were walking toward that area; ever since a Saint Master-level figure, harboring the intention of certain death, carried an Extreme Dao Imperial Weapon toward that area, the reputation of that figure had already been revealed.

Gai Jiuyou lived out a second life after living for nine thousand years, and now he was once again walking toward the peak, wanting to defy the heavens and become a God in such an era.

Recently, Shencheng had been incomparably lively, with field teleportation arrays being constantly activated, and batch after batch of great figures arriving from the Southern Ridge, the Central Plains, and the Western Desert.

They all came to pay respects to that powerful figure.

In such an environment, Zhang Xuan did not feel pressure; instead, he felt relaxed, an unprecedented sense of relaxation.

"Hmm, having a powerful backer, the whole person just feels comfortable."

Zhang Xuan exhaled lightly; the time was still early, and Gai Jiuyou had not yet reached his true peak, so many operations would not be done immediately, and therefore Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry.

In terms of cultivation, lacking the remains of the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, daily cultivation was inevitably too slow compared to before.

Zhang Xuan practiced with patience for a day, and then felt that such days were too difficult; he thought about it and prepared to operate, following his previous plans.

"Other worlds can quickly ripen spiritual herbs and the Nine-Orifice Stone Man; now is a good time to give it a try."
