Chapter 221: Two Paths
The era of the hundred tribes is the most ancient era of written records in the cultivation world, when the hundred tribes were numerous, the lich and the demons competed, most of the other tribes were vassals of the two tribes, and the human race was an inconspicuous small tribe, attached to the big clan, living a precarious life, until a great sage was born, stealing the teacher of the hundred tribes, feeling the heaven and the earth, after hundreds of years, to create a cultivation method suitable for the human race, especially the discovery and use of aura, directly let the strength and status of the human race be greatly improved, and even participate in the post-demon era of the hundred tribes to compete for hegemony, and achieve the final victory, become the only protagonist of the worldγ
Most of you here are ancient traditions with a long history, and they naturally understand this history, even those casual cultivators have heard of it, and they know the effect of aura on the Terran monks. For thousands of years, the Terran monks have been based on the aura, and without the aura, they are nothing, but now Zhao Qian said that the human race has left the aura, but it may not have cut off the path of cultivation, they were particularly surprised, but they also gave rise to a trace of hope in this desperate road.
When the ancestor of the Shifu heard Zhao Qian's words that day, he couldn't help but change his face, poked his head over and asked, "Mr. Zhao, how do you say this?"
"In my opinion, even without the aura, there are still two ways for the monks to go. Zhao Qian smiled casually, "In ancient times, there were hundreds of ethnic groups, although there was abundant spiritual energy at that time, there were not many people who relied on spiritual energy to practice, they all absorbed various other energies, and the monks of various ethnic groups in the same realm had magical powers, especially better than the human race, since they could cultivate, why can't we do it now, so this first way is to absorb other energies, such as the Nine Shades of Evil Qi, the Nine Heavenly Gang Qi, the Sun Essence and the Moon Hua, etc., the Sun Sutra of the Pure Yang Dao Sect, isn't it to collect the essence of the sun to cultivate." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was suddenly dejected, if they weren't afraid of Zhao Qian's strength, I am afraid they would have the intention of pulling him out and beating him up.
Heavenly Master Ancestor shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Zhao doesn't know, our Terran sages created the exercises, and at the beginning, they relied on imitating the supernatural powers of the hundred races, but those supernatural powers are all based on bloodline, and people of other races can't learn it, just like you just said that the Sun Sutra of the Pure Yang Dao Sect was actually created with reference to the supernatural powers of the Fire Clan at that time, but except for the people of the Jiuyang bloodline, once others cultivate, they will be burned in flames." β
"I naturally know this," Zhao Qian shook his head calmly, "I'll talk about the second way first, the second way is to follow the path of the flesh body." β
"That's not as simple as bloodline enlightenment," Qingyangzi couldn't help it, and couldn't help but say, "All body refining exercises don't require a lot of resources, if it was in ancient times, it would be better, but since the Middle Ages, a large number of elixirs have been extinct, and naturally the path of physical body enlightenment has also been extinct. β
"If you look at it from the traditional concept, the two of you are right, these two are dead ends," Zhao Qian still had a calm face, "but what kind of world is out there now, do you know?"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what medicine was sold in Zhao Qian's gourd, Zhao Qian didn't wait for someone to answer, so he continued, "Now is the information society, the scientific society, so we have to open our minds and use scientific methods to think about problems." β
The people's faces were suddenly full of strangeness, of course they knew about science, wasn't it just a matter of studying things outside the body, although it was also a little wonderful, but in their opinion, it was just a path similar to the way of refining weapons, what does this have to do with cultivation? Can it still use people as tools to refine?
Zhao Qian looked at their faces and knew what they were thinking, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "You don't think of science as alchemy, do you? β
"This," Heavenly Master Ancestor coughed dryly, "We really don't understand much about this science, and please make it clear." β
"Actually, your ideas are not wrong," Zhao Qian nodded and said with a smile, "It's just not comprehensive enough, research and manufacturing tools are only the appearance of science, and the real meaning of science lies in exploring and studying the laws of change in the universe and seeking the essence of all unknown things." β
"But what does this have to do with us?" Bi Yunzi asked with a strange face, "Do you want to study why we can cultivate?"
"Why can't it?" Zhao Qian looked at him and said, "Since the aura is about to disperse and the path of cultivation is broken now, then we have to find another way." β
Zhao Qian stood up, looked at the people in the hall and said, " The key to this path lies in the bloodline, there is a genetics in modern science, and this discipline can help, as long as you can find the body tissue of the person with the corresponding bloodline, even if it is a hair or a nail, you can collect their genetic information, and there is hope to analyze why they can have innate supernatural powers, why they can absorb the energy that our human race can't absorb. β
Looking at the people who could listen attentively, Zhao Qian stretched out his right hand, pointed his index finger to the sky, and said proudly, "As long as we find the reason, we can produce the corresponding genetic medicine, even if we can't completely replicate their genes, we only need a little bit, we can absorb the corresponding energy, and then our cultivation path can continue." If the research results are perfect enough, you can even make the genes of those races into potions and have their supernatural powers, at that time, one person is a hundred races!"
"Can this also work?" Qingyangzi shook his hand and tore off a beard, but he didn't notice it at all, and asked with excitement on his face.
"Of course you can, it's just that it will take a long time, but as long as we start, we have hope of success," Zhao Qian looked at him and nodded with a serious face, " In the same way, the second way, the road of refining the body, isn't it a resource, there is no elixir, there is no natural treasure, it doesn't matter, we need energy, we can make energy elixirs, the quality is not enough to make up the quantity, there is no exercise, we can study the human genes, through scientific research, open the genetic shackles of the human body, and create a scientific exercise method to achieve the purpose of evolution, of course, if there can be a body refining method as a reference, this progress will be greatly accelerated, or it can achieve a higher height. β
"Science is so powerful?" Bi Yunzi was still a little skeptical.
"What Mr. Zhao said, theoretically it can indeed be done," Kong Mingfang of the Jixia Academy stood up, nodded with a wry smile on his face and said, "It's just that these are scenes in science fiction, through the research of life sciences, human beings can also live forever, pick stars and take the moon, but these are too far away from us after all." β
Confucianism pays attention to accession to the WTO, and Kong Mingfang is also a person with status in the world, so he is most accepting of what Zhao Qian said, but he also understands the gap between reality and ideals.
When the others heard this, the little hope that had just risen was poured down by a basin of cold water, and their hearts became more and more bitter.
Looking at everyone's disappointed faces, Zhao Qian smiled and shook his head, "The Confucius Academy Master is right, judging from the current scientific level in society, it is indeed too far away from us, but it does not mean that the real scientific level is like this." β
"What do you say?" Qingyangzi hurriedly asked.
"The Master of the Confucius Institute must have heard of the Rose Research Institute," Zhao Qian did not answer Qingyangzi's words, but looked at Kong Mingfang and said.
Kong Mingfang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded, "Of course I have heard, the Rose Research Institute belongs to the Rose Business Alliance, and has extremely high research results in physics and chemistry, and the Rose Flying Car is the most typical representative, and I also know that Mr. Zhao is the behind-the-scenes boss of the Rose Business Alliance." β
"That's right," Zhao Qian nodded, "But in addition to some of the research results that have been announced, there are still a lot of research results that have not been published by the Rose Research Institute, and the results of the Life Research Institute are the most important of them." β
"You mean?" Kong Mingfang's face was suddenly full of excitement, "The Rose Research Institute has already studied to this point?"
"In terms of genetic research on ordinary people, all the interpretations have been completed," Zhao Qian nodded and confirmed, "and some genetic drugs have been developed in a targeted manner, and when all the current research topics are completed, it can basically be announced that mankind has completely eliminated all diseases, including those terminal diseases." β
"This move is very good!" Kong Mingfang sighed, "If this can really be the case, Mr. Zhao is really immeasurably meritorious." β
The others also understood what Zhao Qian said, and immediately stood up one by one and bowed, respecting him even more, and the most important thing is that if what Zhao Qian said is true, then the two roads he just said have hope of being realized.
"I don't know how long it will take to complete those topics?" Qingyangzi asked with an expectant face, he didn't really care about the research results, but hoped to start the cultivation research that Zhao Qian said as soon as possible, even if he couldn't use it himself, but the disciples and grandchildren in the sect could use it.
"It should be in the past year or two," Zhao Qian turned around and said, "But genetic research on cultivation is a higher-level subject compared to genetic research for ordinary people, and if we rely on ourselves, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make key progress, but if you join us, the hope will be much greater." β
Pulling these people into his chariot was an idea that Zhao Qian had just now, he thought about it several times, this is all a good thing and no harm, not to mention anything else, just the gene collection of people with special bloodlines, these long-standing sects can be of great help, and when studying the physique of the cultivators, they are the best samples, so if they are cooperative, it is equivalent to selling them, and they are still helping themselves count the money, such a good thing is not easy to find.
As soon as Zhao Qian's words came out, everyone present looked at each other, nodded one after another, patted their chests and promised to cooperate, these old foxes are very clear, if the two roads that Zhao Qian said are clear, and they don't take this train today, I'm afraid that this inheritance that has lasted for thousands of years will have to be lost in their own hands, this kind of stupid thing is absolutely impossible to do, besides, even if it doesn't succeed in the end, there is no loss.
The intention of cooperation was reached, and everyone felt a little comforted in their hearts, and finally had a direction to work towards in this era of the end of the law, although the hope was also very slim, but it was a hundred times stronger than the struggle in the darkness for a hundred years.
After talking about the right thing, everyone began to chat, not really chatting, they got together, there is always a difference between relatives and alienation, although they just agreed to cooperate with Zhao Qian, but how to implement it, who pays more, gets more, or fight, in this process, it is naturally indispensable to cooperate vertically and horizontally, etc., it is inconvenient to talk in detail at this time, but it is still possible to contact and contact feelings.
