2098 Collision of knowledge
Seeing Song Shuhang’s troubled expression, the owner of the crystal room thought for a while before trying to guess, “Did you fail to comprehend it?”
Song Shuhang did not respond, the expression on his face still odd.
The owner of the crystal room smiled lightly. He then stretched out his hand and patted Shuhang’s wooden shoulder. “Don’t be discouraged. It is normal to fail to comprehend it. You are still young, and you’ll have another chance in the future. When you become a Seventh Stage Venerable, you can participate in Garre Holy Mountain’s trial again. After going through the experience a second time, perhaps you can comprehend it.”
Song Shuhang nodded and said, “Thank you, Senior.”
“Additionally, there are many ways to comprehend the General Principles Inheritance Chapter of the ❮Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique❯. Some people would have a realization while following the steps of the creation process, and when their consciousness returned from the past, they would be able to immediately understand the General Principles Inheritance Chapter. Other people take longer; they would remember most of the details of the creation process, and only after leaving Garre Holy Mountain would they slowly piece them together. In the end, these people also managed to comprehend their own version of the General Principles Inheritance Chapter.” The owner of the crystal room asked again, “So, little fellow daoist, how much of the creation process do you remember?”
Generally speaking, the second method had a very low success rate. Due to the influence of the path of time and the influence that the universe had on the creation of such a technique, most cultivators could only remember bits and parts of the creation process.
With these incomplete memories, while it was possible to comprehend a unique version of the General Principles Inheritance Chapter, it would be far from being as good as directly comprehending it after peeking into the past.
Song Shuhang nodded and said, “If I try it, I think I can recall most of the process.”
His current state was very strange because he, himself, did not know whether he had comprehended it or not.
By witnessing the old man’s creation process, he seemed to have comprehended something very important.
However, he could not tell what was this thing that he had come to realize.
If I told you that I don’t understand what I’ve understood, would you believe me?
In fact, Song Shuhang didn’t really understand all the experiments the old man carried out.
During the creation process of the General Principles Inheritance Chapter of the ❮Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique❯, the old man used levels of knowledge ranging from shallow to deep, from the Seventh Stage to the Immortal level.
There were many key parts that involved the principles of the Great Way.
This was another reason why Song Shuhang’s heart felt stifled. His knowledge in this field was too limited.
While watching the old man, Song Shuhang felt like an elementary school student that had just learned multiplication and division, yet was forced to study formulas used in the manufacturing of a nuclear bomb. He was honestly bewildered by the entire process.
He felt a great sense of despair at this moment. After all, Song Shuhang was someone who worked hard.
Whenever he was free, he would take the initiative to supplement his lack of knowledge in cultivation… The problem was that he had very little free time.
The time he had spent cultivating was his greatest limitation.
About half of all the knowledge he had relating to cultivation came from the dreamlands he visited.
Another portion was obtained through some special encounters such as witnessing Cheng Lin’s lecture, directly staring at the principles of that galaxy, coming in contact with information related to eternity, getting possessed by the Indestructible Lord’s obsession or the Scholarly Sage’s obsession, and so on. After going through these experiences, Shuhang gained a sizable amount of information.
This incidental knowledge was of a very high level. Most of it was forcefully stuffed into Song Shuhang’s mind, and with his current level, he could not understand it.
It was precisely because his mind was filled with high-level knowledge that he kept on getting a familiar feeling while watching the old man create the General Principles Inheritance Chapter of the ❮Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique❯.
The high-level knowledge in his mind started resonating when he witnessed the creation process.
During this collision of knowledge, Song Shuhang learned a lot, but it was a pity that he couldn’t understand at all what he learned.
This was why Song Shuhang had such a troubled expression at the moment.
“You can remember most of it, huh?” The owner of the crystal room looked at Song Shuhang thoughtfully.
Right, this little friend seems to have rather frequently come in contact with the path of time, so his body should have adapted to its influence. For this reason, compared to other trial takers, he can remember more of the creation process.
The owner of the crystal room said, “Since this is the case, you should hurry up and reinforce the memory in your mind. It is best to remember every detail. After you go back, you can slowly ponder over it. Perhaps you can even comprehend a unique version of the General Principles Inheritance that belongs only to you.”
“Thank you for your comforting words, Senior,” Song Shuhang cupped his fists politely and replied.
The owner of the crystal room smiled slightly. “Then, let us say our goodbyes here. I hope that we can meet again in the future.”
It was really refreshing to smear your face. The next time we meet, I shall smear your face once more!
“I hope to have the chance to see you again in the future,” Song Shuhang nodded and said. However, he knew in his heart that he probably would not have another chance to come here. He was not a member of the Beast Realm, and Fairy Blue Phoenix had been the one to give him a quota for the trial this time.
“Now, relax. I shall send you off.” The owner of the crystal room stood up.
Song Shuhang nodded.
Before leaving, he suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, Senior, how about adding me as a friend?”
“What?” The owner of the crystal room asked doubtfully.
“Can you add me as a friend? That would make it more convenient for us to contact each other in the future. I feel that I have a rather good affinity with you, Senior,” Song Shuhang said with a serious face.
The owner of the crystal room seemed to be quite talkative and had a good personality.
Therefore, he decided to seize this opportunity to add him as a friend.
“How does it work?” the owner of the crystal room asked curiously.
Song Shuhang skillfully summoned his QR Code Golden Core Composition.
As soon as he summoned it out, the owner of the crystal room scanned it with his mental energy out of habit.
[Beep~]
The prompt sounded in the minds of Song Shuhang and the owner of the crystal room.
However, the owner of the crystal room seemed to have failed to join his friend list.
“There was a beep in my mind. Did it work?” the owner of the crystal room asked.
“It seems like it didn’t work.” Song Shuhang raised his head doubtfully, looking at the owner of the crystal room.
Even Fairy Cheng Lin, who was supposedly dead and could not die again, could add him as a friend.
Even rulers of the Netherworld such as Senior White Two and Little Stripey had no problem adding him as a friend.
Yet, the owner of the crystal room, despite being alive and kicking, was unable to add him.
“It seems that the problem is on my side.” The owner of the crystal room smiled slightly and said, “Forget it. If it is fated, we’ll meet again. If it’s not, then there is no need to force it.”
He then clapped his hands lightly.
Song Shuhang’s figure disappeared. He had left the crystal room.
