Zhou Wen and company arrived in front of the Wordless Monument and prepared to look at it.
"Students, can you wait a while and look at the Wordless Monument later?" the middle-aged man walked over and said.
"Why?" Li Xuan asked.
"This is our East District's Daoist expert, Elder Jun Tingyu. He's here to study the Wordless Monument. If you look at it now, you will be affected by the Wordless Monument's power. It will inevitably disrupt Elder Jun's research," the middle-aged man said.
"It's fine. Let them take a look first," Jun Tingyu said.
Since Jun Tingyu had spoken, the middle-aged man didn't say anything else and returned to them.
Zhou Wen and company took out the things they had prepared before preparing to look at the Wordless Monument.
This was because if one looked at the Wordless Monument for a long time, they would be affected by it. They would be like a person who was full of energy and couldn't stay idle. They would do things that required physical strength. Therefore, they had prepared some tools so that they could do what they wanted to do.
For example, Tian Xiangdong had prepared two dumbbells. He wanted to lift the dumbbells later to expend his stamina. Tian Zhenzhen had prepared a yoga mat and planned on doing yoga.
Apart from Gu Dian, everyone had prepared their own tools.
When Jun Tingyu saw the things they had prepared, he seemed rather interested as he sized them up with a smile.
"Elder Jun, I heard that the power of the Wordless Monument can make people in a state of excitement. Then, can we use this excited state to study to improve our results?" the middle-aged man, Li Mingcan, asked.
Jun Tingyu smiled and said, "That's a good idea, but it's very difficult to carry it out. Legend has it that Mount Laojun is the place where the ancestor of Daoism lived in seclusion. And his thoughts are mainly focused on the word 'Dao'. The Dao follows nature, seeks the origins of all things, and obtains the Great Dao of Heaven and Man. I don't fully understand the meaning and power of this Wordless Monument, but according to Mount Laojun's thoughts, it must be a power that pursues nature and returns to oneself. "
"Elder Jun, can you say it in layman's terms? We still can't understand such profound meanings," Li Mingcan said. .
"If I'm not wrong, the Wordless Monument should be able to trigger one's innate potential. Therefore, when it comes into play, humans will follow their hearts and do what they want to do in the depths of their hearts, casting aside the restrictions of the world. The things prepared in advance are only what people feel they should do, but what they really want to do in the depths of their hearts will not be affected by external factors. Therefore, what they do after viewing the wordless monument is often different from what they want to do now. "
"Just like a student, he thinks that he should study hard, but that's only because he's in society. He thinks that he should do so because of external factors, but what he really wants to do isn't necessarily to study. Or rather, more than 95% of people don't want to study deep down, so even if he brings a book, he won't read it when the time comes."
"Is there no way to resolve this problem and use the power of the Wordless Monument on what you want to do?" Li Mingcan asked again.
"In the beginning, when the influence is relatively low, you can still control it a little. However, after looking at it for a long time, the instinctive potential in your heart will be completely stimulated. It'll be very difficult to control it. Unless you're a Saint or Buddha, no one will be able to control their instincts," Jun Tingyu said.
As they spoke, Zhou Wen and company were already sitting in front of the Wordless Monument, staring at it.
The longer one looked at the Wordless Monument, the greater the influence one would receive. However, it also depended on one's willpower.
If one's willpower was stronger, then even if one looked at it for a long time, they would be less affected than the average person.
However, this determination might not be a good thing. Instead, it might be an obstacle.
Due to the influence of external factors, humans would do many things that went against their hearts. For example, many people felt that work was a burden and wished to go out without worries.
However, due to various external factors, they had no choice but to restrain their impulses and do work that they didn't want to do. Furthermore, they had to think of ways to make themselves devote to work.
If one's willpower was too strong, it was very likely that they would forget their instinctive pursuits and find it difficult to stimulate their innate potential.
"In that case, doesn't that mean that the things they prepared are completely useless?" Li Mingcan said as he looked at the tools Li Xuan and company had prepared.
"Unless his heart is the same as his current thoughts, it's indeed useless." Jun Tingyu spoke very conservatively. In fact, he believed that those things were basically useless.
"I originally wanted to bring books over so that I could learn more. Thankfully, I didn't," Li Mingcan said with a smile.
Jun Tingyu said, "Actually, it's not that you can't read, but you have to like it. From some of the actions after looking at the Wordless Monument, you can tell a person's future potential. For example, a person who subconsciously practices his fist after looking at the Wordless Monument will definitely have outstanding cultivation in his fist techniques in the future. If a person subconsciously practices his sword after looking at the Wordless Monument, then his sword techniques will definitely be excellent in the future. "
They had been chatting the entire time and didn't deliberately look at the Wordless Monument, so they were less affected.
However, Zhou Wen and company had been looking at the Wordless Monument from a close distance. Tian Xiangdong, who had the weakest willpower, was quickly affected. After looking at it for a while, he couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and ran in circles nearby.
"Elder Jun is right. He didn't use the things he brought. However, what kind of potential does his running in circles represent? Does it mean that he will be very proficient in alacrity techniques in the future? "Li Mingcan asked.
"This isn't easy to interpret. You can interpret it this way. It's also a possibility." Jun Tingyu actually had another explanation, but he didn't say it out loud.
Running could also be a form of psychological evasion.
Zhou Wen looked at the Wordless Monument for a while. He originally hoped to see something. Perhaps it could improve his Dao Body and condense a Life Soul.
However, to his surprise, even if he circulated the Essence Energy Art he obtained from the Wordless Monument, there was no reaction from the Wordless Monument.
After looking at it for a while, he felt a little bored. He took out his phone and sat there to grind.
Zhou Wen's actions immediately attracted the attention of Li Mingcan and company. Li Mingcan asked curiously, "Elder Jun, that student actually started gaming after looking at the Wordless Monument. What does this mean?"
Jun Tingyu shook his head and said, "Although people naturally like to have fun, most people still have some pursuits in their subconscious. If he's completely addicted to games like this, his future achievements probably won't be too high. Or rather, his achievements will be in the gaming field."
Jun Tingyu's words were already very tactful. In such an era, a student who was addicted to gaming clearly wouldn't have any achievements.
