Chapter 251: Consciousness Coupling
“Spirit Network.”
Within the Sacred Land of Yincang, Li Tianwei had already been conducting research on the Spirit Network inside his cave residence.
This book obtained from the Sacred Land of Yincang had, in fact, saved Li Tianwei several hours of research effort.
Whether it was the constraining nature of spiritual energy, or its capacity for materialization, all of it required a vast number of experiments and observations.
And those menial disciples of the Sacred Land of Yincang had already taken care of it, compiling everything neatly.
They had even gone so far as to excavate their own spiritual roots for research.
“Spiritual roots will no longer be the absolute determining factor of cultivation in the future.”
After finishing the entire book, Li Tianwei already had a rough idea of how the Spirit Network should be constructed and interconnected going forward.
There was no doubt that this was an enormous undertaking, one that would shatter the existing order of the cultivation world.
With the absence of spiritual roots as a determining factor, returning this kind of power into the hands of everyone—what would that represent?
Even Li Tianwei himself did not have a concrete answer, because it was still very vague.
If he were to give a similar analogy, it would be like in his previous world, during the era of feudalism and slavery, handing texts and ritual interpretations over to all the common folk.
The cumbersome rites and systems that had clung to emperors, nobles, and landlords were completely stripped away.
Everything would no longer have any secrets.
In the end, in that world, everyone was made to read books, recognize characters, awaken their intellects, and turn themselves into weapons capable of resolving all contradictions.
And the emergence of the Spirit Network was much the same—texts would no longer be sacred, and scholars and nobles would no longer be lofty.
The outer shell of cultivators would be completely torn away.
“In the end, it will be a Renaissance.”
Through a comparison between the two worlds, Li Tianwei could project the image of a fully enlightened era.
The dissemination of knowledge would thoroughly unleash human intellect.
“Cultivation is nothing more than another form of accumulating knowledge of power, just like those few who discovered the Spirit Network.”
“As long as more and more people cultivate, formations, talismans, artifacts, pills… once all kinds of knowledge are completely released, it will probably be a cultivation revolution.”
Li Tianwei already had a premonition of this.
“However, I still need to play the role of a villain, and I must also let the entire cultivation world be shrouded under my sole will.”
“Only then will they understand the root contradiction of all things.”
“Correction must overcorrect; without overcorrection, there can be no correction.”
Li Tianwei placed his hand on the book about the Spirit Network and spoke slowly.
As this thought emerged in Li Tianwei’s mind, at that very moment, many cultivators across the entire cultivation world felt a chill crawl up their spines.
“Come! Begin!”
Li Tianwei closed his eyes. At this moment, he had already chosen to abandon everything.
Spiritual energy existed, and spiritual roots were merely one of the pathways to communicate with it.
But what exactly was the essence of spiritual energy as a substance? Its constraining nature was one point, and its materialization was another.
Since it existed, then it must exist—there was no way it could be controlled solely through spiritual roots.
For example, humans possessed biological magnetic fields and intangible sixth senses, which were constantly influencing nature.
Since the network formed by spiritual energy existed, then it could be touched.
Understanding it and observing its patterns—at this moment, Li Tianwei no longer used anything of the physical body to draw upon it, nor did he even use his spiritual roots to make contact.
He closed his eyes, and there was only absolute darkness.
chapter_();
Clearly, spiritual energy existed, yet by bypassing the attraction and control of spiritual roots, it became a realm of utter darkness.
Li Tianwei opened his eyes once more, took a deep breath, and again used his spiritual roots to draw and control it.
The spiritual energy within his body continuously underwent fission-like transformations, and that vast, terrifying power fully erupted through this connection.
This proved that the existence of spiritual roots was indeed required to operate this immense power.
But in what form did spiritual roots exist? Where exactly did they attract spiritual energy from?
Thinking of this, Li Tianwei no longer hesitated. He slowly raised his head and gently pressed his hand against his forehead.
Before long, the five-colored, brilliantly radiant spiritual root was completely manifested under the traction of Li Tianwei’s consciousness.
Looking at the spiritual root before him, Li Tianwei reached out and slashed across it with his hand, and a crack immediately appeared on the multicolored spiritual root.
Very quickly, the spiritual root split into two halves, suspended before Li Tianwei’s eyes.
At this moment, everything about spiritual roots appeared before Li Tianwei’s vision.
Li Tianwei did not even care whether the spiritual root could still be used after being treated this way, and immediately began manipulating it.
Even in this bizarre state, Li Tianwei could still sense that his own power had not disappeared due to the damage to his spiritual root.
This proved that the role of a spiritual root was nothing more than a relay station between oneself and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
“Very good, further in-depth research is still needed.”
Li Tianwei continued to manipulate the five-colored spiritual root.
With absolute control of power, Li Tianwei had already differentiated the spiritual root down to atomic scale, even rearranging it anew.
Yet what was strange was that its essence did not change at all. It was like the most eye-catching star diamond in the heavens—even when constantly rearranged, it remained dazzling.
“As expected of the origin of the world, it’s this difficult to study.”
Looking at the spiritual root that he had peeled apart layer after layer, Li Tianwei could not help but sigh like this.
And within Li Tianwei’s consciousness, the System felt a chill deep in its core as it watched Li Tianwei manipulate and cut apart the spiritual root like this.
【Will I be treated like this by the host someday?】
The System could not help but have such a thought. If it had a physical body at this moment, it would probably be shrinking in a corner, gulping in fear.
【It’s fine. No matter how strong the host is, he can’t possibly surpass the main system. I need to have confidence.】
The System immediately began comforting itself, but by the time it got to the word “confidence,” it nearly choked.
After all, wasn’t the most confident being at present precisely its host?
And just as the System was trembling in fear, Li Tianwei’s research on the spiritual root also came to a temporary conclusion.
From dissection and continuous research, Li Tianwei had indeed found certain patterns and characteristics of spiritual roots.
“Consciousness coupling.”
Within Li Tianwei’s vast knowledge repository, he retrieved a term from memory that resembled something like a spiritual root.
Spiritual energy inherently existed between heaven and earth, and the world it constructed was the Spirit Network—existing while endlessly constricting and continuously radiating.
And the existence of spiritual roots was the interface that received this frequency, the source of information emission.
What exactly was this frequency? And how did one dock with it, how did one align with the existence known as the Spirit Network?
Li Tianwei’s mind spun rapidly, countless pieces of knowledge converging within it, countless possible lines of reasoning emerging.
Unfortunately, none of them produced the answer Li Tianwei wanted.
“My line of thinking is a bit too rigid. Why must I look for the answer in spiritual roots?”
“The root of the problem is actually spiritual energy.”
“Since it has already constructed its own network, as long as its output and construction frequency are altered, starting from spiritual energy to influence people—”
“Why should people be the ones influencing spiritual energy?”
