Chapter 68: The Story
The so-called talent cannot be narrowly understood as the endowment created in the mother's womb, and many times, the so-called talent that people show is actually the result of acquired influence.
For example, Wang Jiu's kendo talent is unprecedented, but this talent actually comes from his infancy, and Jian Chi refined him, not the pair of biological parents who are missing.
In fact, after Wang Jiu met the Nine Immortal Venerables, he was instigated to find his biological parents. With the resources that the Nine Immortals Zun had at that time, even with the size of Kyushu, no one could hide their traces, so the couple was soon found.
Their graves were found, to be precise.
It turned out that not long after the two abandoned Wang Jiu, they encountered an accident in a breakthrough in cultivation, and both died.
And what they tried to break through was just the Rain Covered Realm.
In the Kyushu era, the so-called Covered Rain Realm was almost the entry level for immortal cultivators, and if they couldn't cultivate the Covered Rain Realm, they were not even qualified to call themselves immortal cultivators. And the parents of the first sword god in Kyushu are just a pair of losers who fell in front of the threshold of immortal cultivators.
Such a couple gave birth to an unprecedented nameless sword god, of course, it can't be the credit of the two of them. Ninety percent of Wang Jiu's talents came from the Tianchi Sword Sect's Heaven and Earth Creation Sword Pool.
Only the great power of Kenchi could give him a kendo talent far beyond the times. The flesh and blood of human beings has too many limitations, and even with the highly developed human body modification technology of the Kyushu era, it is impossible to create peerless talents out of thin air. And the geniuses who are really at the pinnacle of Kyushu are all constantly receiving various training and transformation after birth.
The Nine Immortal Venerables almost without exception have had such an environment, and at most half of their immortal Dao talents come from the bloodline inheritance of their parents and families, and the remaining half is the influence of the acquired environment. For example, some people have found natural treasures when they have been training in the border wilderness, and some people have refined rare beasts.
However, in the Xiangzhou era, the talent of immortal cultivators came from the bloodline inheritance of their parents, on the one hand, the changes in the laws of heaven and earth, which made the influence of foreign objects on the human body tend to weaken, and on the other hand, the immortal civilization of Xiangzhou, compared with the bloodline power they inherited from the Kyushu era, is still too weak, and the power in the bloodline alone is enough to support them to practice for a lifetime.
So the question is, which immortal did Xiaobai's talent inherit from?
If she is from a family of three academies and seven families, then it is relatively easy to explain: perhaps it was which family and which sect found the secret method of the Kyushu era and cultivated such a kendo wizard who transcended the times by chance.
But since Xiaobai is not a child of the Seven Families of the Three Courtyards, but the child left by a couple who died on the Netherworld, her talent is very strange.
After listening to Wang Jiu's analysis, the Holy Sect Sect Master was silent for a moment, and then frowned.
Shen Qingming asked a little strangely: "Your suspicions are so unreasonable, can't they be innate?" There are so many people in the Xiangzhou Continent, and it is normal for one or two amazing geniuses to be born occasionally. ”
Wang Jiu said: "There is a limit to natural genius, just like a human being mates and gives birth 100 million or 1 billion times, it is absolutely impossible to give birth to pigs and dogs. And Xiaobai's talent has long been beyond the scope of human beings, and it can't be purely from his parents. ”
Xiaobai, who was compared to a pig and a dog by Wang Jiu, wrinkled his nose, and then smiled and said: "I'll just say, I'm so smart, how could it be that unlucky father and mother gave birth." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Xiao suddenly blew his beard and glared: "Can you have a door guard with this mouth!?" That's your real parents! ”
Xiaobai said: "I don't remember them! When I can remember, I have been hidden by the old man of the sect master, Jinwu......"
The sect master hurriedly explained: "You don't speak well, don't mess with words, what is Jinwu Zangjiao!?" I just found a room to settle you down temporarily, and even bathed and changed your clothes, I specially found a woman to serve you......"
Xiaobai was triumphant: "I was only five or six years old at the time, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, would you be so cautious about a little girl." ”
"You really want to add to the sin, why don't you excuse it......"
Shen Qingming was on the side, but keenly caught the anomaly in the conversation: "Wait, when the sect master rescued you from the Netherworld, you were five or six years old?" So you didn't start remembering until you were five or six years old? Is there something wrong with your intelligence!? ”
As soon as these words came out, the elders of the Wuxiang Sword Academy immediately couldn't help laughing.
Shen Qingming was complacent, even overjoyed, how many years, it was finally her turn to question the intelligence level of others, and it was effectively echoed! At this moment, a 15-year-old girl suddenly had the pleasure of becoming a daughter-in-law for many years!
However, the pleasure lasted for a split second and then came to an abrupt end.
"I was shipwrecked in the Nethersea Sea as a child, and my whole family was unfortunately killed, and I was the only one who escaped death, and I was so stimulated by such a major stimulus, so what's so strange about losing some of my memories, as for making a fuss about you? Do I have to remember the deaths of my biological parents clearly in order to call my intelligence okay? ”
When these words came out, everyone present was discouraged, and Shen Qingming was even more self-defeating, bowing his head and having nothing to say.
Only Wang Jiu was noncommittal about this, but just lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "Do you remember the specific location of the shipwreck?" ”
"Of course I do." The Sect Master said, "Do you think there is a problem with the shipwreck? ”
Wang Jiu said: "I can't be sure, but at present, only the shipwreck is the most suspicious. Xiaobai's talent cannot be innate, it must be influenced by nurture, and this acquired influence is most likely to be the shipwreck. ”
The suzerain then fell into deep thought.
Wang Jiu is right, the biggest suspicion is the shipwreck.
Because if Xiaobai already had such a talent before the shipwreck, it would be impossible to be unknown. She was not a newborn baby, but a little girl of five or six years old, and her awe-inspiring talent for kendo was like substance, and no monk with an eye would ever look away.
In fact, it was precisely because of that remarkable and dazzling genius that the Sect Master would find the dying Xiaobai at a glance on the long coastline of the Netherworld.
So thinking about it this way, that Hainan is indeed suspicious.
Prior to this, the sect master had never considered the acquired influence of talent, although Xiaobai's talent was amazing, but the immortal cultivation world was already full of geniuses, and a hundred flowers competed for beauty. The Holy Sect and the Third Academy, as the leaders of the Xiangzhou Immortal Dao, often see the so-called genius among geniuses, and they have long been immune to the word genius. And although Xiaobai's talent is indeed the highest level that the sect master has ever seen, but the world is so big, it is not surprising that there are one or two exceptional talents. What's more, Xiaobai's talent is only a theoretical talent, and due to personality problems, her actual achievements have always been up to or below, which has also greatly affected other people's judgment of her talent, and even the sect master himself feels that she is a little inflated.
But now after Wang Jiu said this, the sect master immediately realized that if Xiaobai's talent came from the influence of external forces, then ......
"Can you reproduce it?"
Wang Jiu said: "Generally speaking, this kind of opportunity that can strengthen the cultivation qualifications cannot be replicated. But even if it can't be copied, as long as the principle is carefully analyzed, it will also have great value for enriching the theory of immortal dao. ”
This sentence made the sect master even more excited.
For a person at his height, one or two amazingly talented monks are not really worthy of special attention. Because the power of an individual is limited, what if a person advances to the Earth Crack Realm and the Sky Collapse Realm by leaps and bounds? Unless he can completely break the realm of immortals with his own strength like the Heavenly Divine Sword, if he can't benefit all sentient beings, then no matter how high his personal achievements are, it will be meaningless, and after a hundred years, it will be nothing more than a handful of dry bones.
And how easy is it to benefit all living beings? Xiangzhou civilization has been cultivated for thousands of years, and there are actually geniuses in every era who have personally cultivated to be far ahead, but there are really only a handful of them who can push the entire civilization forward by themselves.
And what Wang Jiu is talking about now is undoubtedly a major event that is enough to benefit all sentient beings. If you can really find the source of Xiaobai's unique kendo talent from the shipwreck in the Netherworld Sea, even if it can't be copied, as long as it is imitated a little, it can make the kendo monks all over the world benefit inexhaustibly.
"I'm going to send someone to the Netherworld to investigate and collect evidence, but it's been decades since the incident, and I'm afraid it's hard to investigate what happened at that time."
Xiaobai pursed his lips: "Thank you for reminding me of my age, but I suggest that you don't waste your efforts, how many times have I been to that place in the Netherworld...... Nothing to be found. ”
Wang Jiu said: "This is also very normal, generally speaking, the kind of opportunity that can make people wash the marrow of the I Ching is fleeting, it is impossible to exist stably, and it is likely to disappear without a trace in a few seconds, as if nothing had happened." Not to mention that in the past few decades, the Netherworld has been unpredictable, and it is reasonable that no trace can be left. Therefore, I suggest that we prepare for both, although we can't copy Xiaobai's talent environment, we can copy Xiaobai. ”
When Xiaobai heard this, he was terrified: "Do you want to mention that pig breeding plan again!?" It's not easy for me to be old, so you can just spare me! ”
The sect master was curious: "What pig breeding plan?" ”
So Wang Jiu briefly stated his thoughts, and the sect master immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "It seems to make sense." ”
Xiaobai was furious: "You old virgin knows what the truth of reproduction and reproduction!" ”
