The illusion is not illusion, it contains illusion, but illusion is only a part of the illusion, it is the basis of the illusion, and the illusion is more about how to change the illusion into reality. In a sense, the Path of Illusion is the true way to cultivate the truth.

"If the illusion becomes the real, the illusory becomes the real. Understand, analyze, construct, derive, create...... I feel that this is very similar to the science of my previous life!" Li Jingxuan read through "Phantom Heaven Record" again, and suddenly had such a realization in his heart.

How did the scientific creation come about? Understanding the rules of how things work, designing them with new structures, building them with better materials, and finally moving them with some kind of energy to make them immortal and have the corresponding effect - this is very similar to the practice of the Illusion Path. The difference between the two is that scientific creation uses the means of absolute materialism, denying all unfathomable power elements, while the "illusion path" is a materialism based on vitality and talent.

At the very beginning of the practice, when you construct something that is not so subtle and delicate, you only need to construct an outline, a rough one, and you don't need to understand every appearance of the object in such detail as scientific means.

Well, let's take building a flower.

The scientific method is to analyze the cell structure of the flower, the code structure of the related genetic DNA, and then use various sophisticated instruments to copy it.

The "magic way" is different: it only tells it what you want the flower to look like, the petals to look like, the calyx to look like, the smell of the flower...... and so on, and you can do it all. As for what the cells of the flower are, what its genetic structure is, you don't need to know in general, you just need to provide enough vitality - in the earliest days, the practice of the Illusion Dao and the current Dao Sect exercises relied on the same support of the vitality, but now it is different.

In "Phantom Heaven Record", the cultivation of the Illusion Dao can not only use vitality, but also use talent, and even use the so-called holy energy.

What is the Holy Qi? The Holy Qi is the reward left by the ancient saints to their disciples through the rules of the Heavenly Dao after they have attained the Dao. It is somewhat similar to the so-called "divine power possession", but it has many fewer sequelae than the divine power "divine power possession". However, there are also limitations to the use of holy power.

First of all, the person who uses the holy power must be a disciple of the saint;

Secondly, the use of holy power cannot exceed twice the upper limit of one's own vitality;

Thirdly, the person who uses the holy power will have a certain causal relationship with the saint.

To put it simply, Shengli is equivalent to the bank giving you a credit card, you don't need to deposit money into it to use it, but you can't use it unlimitedly, because the credit card has an upper limit, and there is borrowing and repaying, in the process of borrowing and repaying, you will naturally have a certain stickiness to the bank that gave you this credit card, and the bank can also conduct various analyses on you through your various transaction behaviors, and then get a lot of data that is very useful to them, from getting updated rules, this is a win-win situation, and it is also the basis for the saint sect to be passed on。

Before the great changes in heaven and earth, the Saint Sect relied on this to dominate.

After the great changes in heaven and earth, the saints do not know what to do, some may have long since fallen, and some may still exist. After the saints were endless, those saint sects also collapsed. After a series of vendettas, fights, and fusions, the pure saint sect has disappeared, and what is displayed in front of the world is basically a mixture of you and me, and I and you.

Hybridity represents impurity, but also more newer ideas. And when these ideas are intertwined, they often burst into even more brilliant sparks.

Practice, practice, step by step.

Although he was eager to gain strength quickly, Li Jingxuan still didn't dare to advance by leaps and bounds. After all, he had heard the phrase "the most important thing is to lay a solid foundation when a tall building rises from the ground", and he really understood that "how much water a bucket can hold is not determined by the highest plank in the bucket, but by the lowest one." Since Li Jingxuan has the intention to practice Confucian exercises and practice the "Illusion Dao", then he plans to move forward step by step. Walk fast within the scope of your efforts, and lay a solid foundation while walking fast.

In order to cultivate, he spent all his time, in addition to eating, inspecting, and fulfilling his duties as an offering, he devoted himself to cultivation: practicing boxing when he was in Yin, convincing when he was convinced, dancing with a sword when he was in Chen, studying in the middle of the time, cultivating illusions in the future, visiting the teacher when he was in Shen, and raising his yuan when he was in Hai - Li Jingxuan's life can be described as very regular. It's just that his law is quite crazy in the eyes of outsiders.

"In addition to cultivation, it is to eat...... You are so crazy about cultivation, won't you feel bored?" After getting along for half a month, Tang He, who was in the same cabin, was also surprised by Li Jingxuan's crazy cultivation, and he deliberately persuaded Li Jingxuan: "There are still a lot of interesting things in the world, but you don't have to fight so hard. You're not a weak crown yet, and you still have a long way to go?"

"It's long?" Li Jingxuan shook his head imperceptibly, and said secretly in his heart: "Time may be a lot for ordinary cultivators, but as far as I am concerned, it is too scarce. 10,000 years is too long, I have to seize the day. ”

At the moment, Li Jingxuan is still doing her own thing. Tang He was kind enough to persuade him, and he didn't defend himself, but just said lightly: "Actually, I think the cultivation is also very interesting." ”

"Interesting, what's interesting?" Tang He's eyes widened, puzzled.

"I feel that my strength is constantly growing, and I know that my knowledge is constantly enriched. Wouldn't it be interesting to be able to learn something you didn't know before every day?" Li Jingxuan replied with a smile: "I haven't exhausted the joy of cultivation yet, so don't persuade me to pursue more new things." ”

"Okay! Since you said so!" Tang He was not a man of many words, and after persuading Li Jingxuan several times to no avail, he also closed his mouth.

The days just passed day by day.

In the midst of the wandering voyage, the three sea ships heading to the Blue Underworld Continent have sailed into the legendary chaotic sea.

This is the territory of the Whale Gang. As one of the three major forces in the ocean, the Whale Gang has the worst relationship with the Terrans, and poses the greatest threat to the human fleet. For the fleets that travel between Qingming and Aurora, the chaotic seas are a dangerous place for bandits.

Someone once made a statistic: between the Blue Continent and the Aurora Continent, there are about 3,000 ships every year, and only about 1,500 of these ships can pass through the chaotic sea area smoothly. The pass rate is basically about 50 percent.

Fifty percent, the average pass rate, this is not very low, but it is not too high. Some people tried to summarize the pattern between the successful, but in the end it was a success. Being able to pass through the fleet, where there are any similarities, the only thing they can say is that they are all lucky, and there are one or two masters of the God Refining Realm on the ship—that's it, there is no pattern at all. Moreover, between the two, luck comes first, and as for the masters, it is just in case. All in all, this so-called chaotic sea area is as chaotic as humans have named it.

It was precisely because the Chaotic Sea was so dangerous that on the first day of entering the Chaotic Sea, Xia Di gathered the offerings on the three ships to discuss the matter.

"We're in the sea of chaos. The Chaotic Sea is the territory of the Giant Whale Gang, and the Giant Whale Gang is a force that is more disgusted with our Terrans, and they are all on the side of the demons and the enemy of our Terrans. Now we can say that we have entered the enemy's territory. The Chaos Sea is huge, and it will take us at least a month to get through it. For such a long time, no one knows when and where the enemies of the Whale Gang will attack us, and we must be more careful. Everyone gathered in the hall of the "Zhongyuan", and Xia Di pointed to the sea chart to describe the current situation of the fleet.

"Do we have to fight? We can't get through here any other way? I've heard that some merchants pass after giving somebody a certain amount of money to buy a road. I think we can do the same. After all, it's crazy to go against the whale gang at sea, who are all sea tribes. A literati-like worshipper offered his opinion.

Li Jingxuan tilted his head towards the man, only to see that he was dressed in a dark robe, with a handsome face and fluttering sleeves, but he was a graceful and confident person, and everyone was drunk and sober. Li Jingxuan recognized him and knew that he was Xia Di's nephew, called He Chaozhi, who was twenty-two years old, but he was already a sincere and high-level figure, and he could be regarded as a genius among Confucianism.

However, for this genius, Li Jingxuan somehow always looked down on him.

Not only is he so, but even Xia Di is a little dissatisfied with it. It's just that dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, He Chaozhi is still a character in Xia Di's pocket after all, and the two are in the same camp.

"Well...... this" At this time, hearing He Chaozhi say this, Xia Di frowned slightly, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by another loud voice.

"You're not right. Tang He, who was sitting next to Li Jingxuan, stood up first and retorted to him: "Those merchants can buy the road to pass through because they are merchants, and they just need to take care of themselves." And we are different. We are official, and the Giant Whale Gang is familiar with the Ancestral Spirit Palace, so they are afraid that they have already known the news of our line. When we go to them, we will not only lose our prestige, but we may also lose both our people and money. You know, there has always been a saying about the Troubled Seas: 'There are no righteous people in the Land of Chaos.'" 'How can you guarantee that after receiving our money, the other party will let us go according to the agreement, instead of breaking the contract?"

"This ......" He Chaozhi pondered for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly: "I didn't think about it, but I can't guarantee this." ”

"Alas...... In that case, let's continue to think about it. The ship is no better than the land, and if you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed. Xia Di is cautious about this. He could not be unscrupulous, for he had more than 2,000 lives in charge of the fleet, and these lives included his own lives.

"Well, it's ...... to say that" Xia Di's cautious consideration was agreed by most people.

"Then let's all think about how we should deal with it, and what is likely to happen to us next. Here, I think it's important for us to prepare for the worst. Xia Di reminded everyone.

"Understood!" everyone nodded.

There was a sudden silence in the huge cabin. Everyone began to think about the possible troubles that the fleet might encounter.

However, the silence of thought did not last long, and was broken by the eager sound that sounded from the doorway.

"Lord Xia, I think we may be in trouble!" the first mate of the Zhongyuan hurriedly pushed open the door of the cabin and said anxiously.

"What's going on, what trouble are we in?" Xia Di was puzzled.

"My lord, there are large dark clouds in the eastern sky. It is quite possible that there will be a massive storm ahead of us. Dramatically hurriedly reported.

"Storm?, at this time?" Xia Di was a little surprised by this: "There is no sign at all." He seemed to think of something all of a sudden, and his brows tightened: "It seems that this storm is not as simple as we imagined. ”

"What do you mean?" everyone was puzzled.

"Enemy! Whale Gang...... There is a good chance that they caused the storm. Xia Di said his guess. This is likely to be the worst-case scenario.

"What?"

"How could it be ......"

Xia Di's words were like drops of water poured into the oil pot, causing the entire oil pot to boil at once. There was a lot of talk about it.

"Can we get around it?" Xia Di didn't care about everyone's discussion, what he wanted to ask was actually another question.

"This ...... We're too close to it, I'm afraid not. Even if we turn around now, we will meet them in two hours. The first mate shook his head and reported honestly.

"It's terrible. The storm is terrible enough, and the enemies that may be encountered in the storm are really ......" Xia Di had a headache at this, and he rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, trying to alleviate the headache caused by thinking about solving the current situation as much as possible.

"Uncle Shi, I wonder if we have managed to connect the three big ships in a goose formation. This will increase the fleet's resistance to wind and waves, and it will also allow us to concentrate the defenses of our fleet. If anything, it becomes easier to make trade-offs. He Chaozhi suggested to Xia Di.

"Lian Lian, aren't you afraid that the other party will attack with fire?" Li Jingxuan raised his eyebrows in some surprise.

"Fire attack? We only have three ships, and as long as Uncle Shi is here, they can't attack with fire. He Chaozhi is very confident in this.

"Hmm, is that so?" Li Jingxuan looked at Xia Di curiously: "If you have a teacher, you are not afraid of fire attacks?Where did He Chaozhi get such great confidence? Could it be ......?"

Li Jingxuan was still pondering this suspiciously, and Xia Di over there had already quickly issued an order: "Then follow the court, do what you say." Everyone is in place, hurry up and move the whole fleet together. ”

"No!" the boss gave an order, and everyone did their best, but they acted quickly.
