Ning Que, who was imprisoned in the cliff cave, had to get rid of the strong inhibition left by the Headmaster of the Academy if he wanted to break out. He did not expect to defeat the Headmaster of the Academy, nor was he willing to destroy the Great Spirit in his body. Therefore, he could only choose the second method — to transform the Great Spirit so that it could live in harmony with the Qi of Heaven and Earth in nature, or even become one and completely erase the difference between the two.
According to the book "The Origin of the Breath of Heaven and Earth", the natural Qi of Heaven and Earth was the same thing as the True Qi and Great Spirit in the body of the Devil's Doctrine cultivators. However, with the passage of time and the difference in substance, they gradually had completely different characteristics.
Ning Que thought that he could go back and use the Snow Mountain and Ocean of Qi, the passageway, and the whirlpool to directly decompose the Great Spirit in his body into the smallest particles and turn it into its original appearance. Then he could use other methods to smear the colors of nature to disguise it as the aura of Heaven and Earth.
However, when he really started to try, he found that he could not even take the first step of this method. After countless painful failures, he finally believed that no one could be the enemy of such a great existence as time.
After pondering for several nights, he suddenly realized that the two books given to him by the Headmaster of the Academy were not necessarily for two different methods, but should be related to each other.
Therefore, he tried to use the no-boundary spirit of the Academy to simulate the Great Spirit into the Qi of Heaven and Earth in nature. Just as Chen Pipi once said, the no-boundary spirit of the Academy was the fire, the stove was his body, and the Great Spirit was the food in the pot.
What he needed to do was to use the no-boundary spirit of the Academy to control the fire, and use his wisdom, experience, and knowledge as the seasoning to fry the Great Spirit in his body into a plate of fragrant Qi of Heaven and Earth.
After some calculation and deduction, Ning Que felt that this method should be feasible and immediately began to prepare. The target he chose to simulate was the water talisman that he was most familiar with and the first to understand.
He used the Fu paper to condense the purest water and carefully observed it for a long time. He carefully analyzed the characteristics of the aura and the smallest differences, and then wrote it down in his notes.
At the same time, he did not forget to cultivate the no-boundary spirit of the Academy.
When he was sure that he had completely mastered all the characteristics and taste of the Qi of Heaven and Earth condensed by the water talisman and had mastered the essence of the no-boundary spirit of the Academy, he officially began the transformation.
As dusk shrouded the mountain, he sat cross-legged on the praying mat and slowly closed his eyes.
When Chao Wu entered the cave, he slowly opened his eyes and stood up from the cattail hassock.
The Psyche Power entered his body and flowed slowly. Ning Que looked at the whirlpool in his abdomen and silently sensed the Great Spirit. When he finally confirmed that the Great Spirit in his body had turned into the Qi of Heaven and Earth with the characteristics of water talismans under the disguise of the no-boundary spirit, he could not help but reveal a look of surprise.
…
…
After a while.
Ning Que wiped the blood from the corner of his lips and silently looked at the flying dust particles at the entrance of the cliff cave. He recalled the situation when he tried to pass through the entrance but triggered the inhibition and fell into deep thought.
Under the disguise of the no-boundary spirit of the Academy, the Great Spirit in his body had changed its appearance and become one of the aura of heaven and earth. Why did it still trigger the inhibition of the cliff cave?
How did the simple aura left by the Headmaster discover that the Great Spirit flowing in his body was still the Great Spirit and not the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the cool breeze and flowing clouds?
The morning light shone through the blue sky on the other side of the precipice.
Ning Que squinted because of the piercing light.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
There was no completely colorless light in the world, not even a completely monochromatic light. At least it was like that in the world he was in now.
Even if it could not be seen with the naked eye, those invisible waves still had their own colors. Just like the seemingly holy Haotian Divine Light, it was actually composed of many colors of light.
Similarly, in nature, there was no completely monochromatic Qi of Heaven and Earth. The Qi of Heaven and Earth in the cool breeze and flowing clouds, green trees and white stones seemed to be different. In fact, since the creation of the world, the Qi of Heaven and Earth had gone through hundreds of millions of years of precipitation and integration. Although they still retained their respective characteristics, they had already taken on other auras.
Only the Qi of Heaven and Earth condensed and summoned by talisman paper or tactical arrays was absolutely pure.
Ning Que walked to the cliff cave and took out a piece of talisman paper after a moment of contemplation. He touched it with his Psyche Power and made it condense into a fireball, which floated out of the cave with the wind.
According to his previous thinking, the weak fireball contained the Qi of Heaven and Earth. Then it should not be discovered by the aura of the Headmaster and he could easily enter and exit the cave.
There was a light sizzling sound.
The weak fireball floated to the entrance of the cliff cave and suddenly died out.
The inhibition at the cliff cave suddenly appeared and then disappeared.
Ning Que looked at it silently and his face turned a little pale.
It turned out that the inhibition left by the Headmaster not only did not allow the Great Spirit to pass through, but also any unnatural aura of Heaven and Earth. In other words, as long as it was a cultivator, even if the Psyche Power in his sense of perception could only cause a very small fluctuation of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, it would not be able to pass through the cliff cave.
Ning Que thought of the situation of his Senior Brothers and Sisters who came to visit him a few days ago. He noticed that none of them entered the cliff cave or even stretched out their hands towards the line. Only then did he realize that his Senior Brothers and Sisters had probably already known about the incredible nature of the inhibition.
He suddenly thought of something and called Sangsang into the cave.
He stared at the little handmaiden who could enter and leave freely and felt that his thoughts were even more confused.
If the Headmaster's inhibition was targeted at the unnatural Psyche Power, talisman power, and the Devil's Doctrine cultivators' genuine Qi, then Sangsang should have left some Taoist aura in her body when she cultivated with the Divine Priest of Light. Why did the inhibition have no effect on her?
Ning Que stopped thinking about it and continued to study how to break through the restriction.
After confirming the true meaning of the inhibition in the cliff cave, he realized that if he wanted to simulate the Great Spirit in his body into the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the natural world, then he could not simulate just one of them. He needed to simulate countless kinds of Qi of Heaven and Earth, regardless of the quantity, but all of them must be present.
The problem was that there were countless kinds of Qi of Heaven and Earth in the natural world. Even if he had the no-boundary spirit of the Academy and could observe the characteristics of various kinds of Qi with talismans, how could he simulate all of them with the Great Spirit?
The Great Spirit in his body was like a basket of vegetables. No matter how many seasonings were put in, no matter how precise the fire was, could he stir-fry this basket of vegetables into more than 300 dishes?
And there was a more critical problem.
"If I give you a handful of vegetables, can you cook a bowl of roasted pork?"
Ning Que looked at Sangsang and asked.
Sangsang thought for a while and said, "Of course not. But yesterday Mr. First brought a few pounds of fresh pork. If you want to eat roasted pork, I can cook it for you later."
…
…
Ning Que did not have too much time to be depressed. He immediately threw himself into studying and solving the problem.
The problem left by the Headmaster of the Academy was too difficult. It seemed that there were only three correct answers, but no matter which one it was, it required a lot of courage. Some of the answers could be seen clearly, but found that there was an extremely complicated code attached to the answer.
With his current state and ability, it was impossible for him to solve the code, because the code vaguely pointed to the origin of the world and the composition of nature.
It was also at this time that he thought of the old woman in the blue robe in the front yard of the Academy.
In the mathematics question of the Academy's entrance exam, Xie Chengyun first used the method of exhaustion and got an almost infinite number. However, Ning Que directly got the result at one glance, so he got the only A +.
Ning Que was very good at studying, or rather, he was good at taking exams. Exams like mathematics were often a showcase of one's talent. Therefore, he had always looked down on his peers who did not know how to use formulas and answer questions. They only knew how to do calculations.
But now he did not have a ready-made formula, nor could he find any skills, so he could only pick up the stupid method that he used to look down on and try to solve it by force.
Solving by force was exhaustion.
The so-called exhaustion was complete induction, trying the answers one by one. As long as he had enough time and patience, he would eventually find the only correct code.
Ning Que tried to solve the inhibition of the cliff cave by force, but there was a small difference from solving the code. This was because he needed to find the characteristics of countless kinds of Qi of Heaven and Earth, and to model the Great Spirit in his body into them. This was equivalent to finding countless passwords and then combining them together.
Only in this way could he see the final answer.
This method was very violent and beautiful, but in fact it was very clumsy and helpless.
The word "exhaustion" in exhaustion was a characteristic of this method. However, from another perspective, it could also be understood as the solver had exhausted all of his wisdom and could not find any other way to solve the problem. That was why he used this method in an extremely sad and sorrowful manner.
In the following days, Ning Que began to use the exhaustion method to analyze and simulate the Qi of Heaven and Earth. He did not know how many kinds of Qi there were, but he did not rush to touch the inhibition.
Because he was very clear that this must be an extremely complicated and even magnificent project. Not to mention three months, even three hundred years would not be enough to see the result.
But he still kept trying.
Because he had only given himself three months.
If he did not put in his best efforts in these three months, he would have a lot of regrets when he remembered that he had destroyed the Great Spirit in the past.
…
…
Ning Que became more and more silent in the cliff cave. He did not have time to comb his hair, which scattered behind him, making him look a little depressed. His face became more and more haggard, but the luster in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Chen Pipi often came to visit him. Looking at him now, he could not bear to let him torture himself like this, nor could he bear to let him give up halfway. So he just stayed silent like him.
Other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters also came to visit and gave all the herbs and food they collected to Sangsang, so that she could cook them at any time to keep up the spirit of Youngest Brother.
Tang Xiaotang cultivated with Yu Lian, but she was still miserable. She held Sangsang's hand and complained when she could occasionally play on the cliff. But when she looked at Ning Que in the cave, she felt a little ashamed.
Just like that, the days passed day by day, and spring gradually deepened.
