Night Lone Ranger seemed to have seen through Xi's mind and said calmly, "Maybe you think that as long as you don't have a child, you can love Ding Ning forever and your love will not deteriorate. But you can try. When everyone has his child, I can guarantee that you will be eager to give him a child."
"Why?"
Xi raised her head and asked in confusion. She had never thought about giving birth to a child and always felt that it was a very troublesome thing.
"Because reproduction is the instinct of human beings. You have never been a mother, so you don't understand how the blood is thicker than water kinship. Ding Ning has lacked maternal love since he was a child, so what he yearns for most is a simple family life. Now he is in the stage of youth and he doesn't even know what he is pursuing. But I can guarantee that when he sees his own children being born, the indescribable sense of achievement and responsibility will make him mature quickly. He will no longer blindly chase after those illusory love, but more yearn for the happiness of family reunion. Love will also quickly transform into kinship. So it is not realistic for you to maintain this feeling of love without a child. This is the nature of human beings."
Night Lone Ranger said calmly and indifferently, but it made Xi feel deep respect. She did not expect that Night Lone Ranger, who had always been low-key, had such a deep understanding of human nature. She was so wise that she appeared to be stupid.
She lost all her cultivation and built her foundation again because she wanted to transform divinity into human nature. But she was born as a deity, so how could she understand the complicated human nature?
Therefore, she usually read books written by human beings when she was free. She wanted to understand what human nature was and strive to become a deity with human nature. Night Lone Ranger's analysis of human nature was like a good rain after a long drought. She regarded Night Lone Ranger as her life mentor and asked her tirelessly and shamelessly.
As a result, a strange scene appeared on Paradise Island. Night Lone Ranger had always respected her master Ye Linglong, but Ye Linglong regarded Xi as her master and respected her very much. However, Xi eagerly wanted to understand human nature from Night Lone Ranger and regarded her as his life mentor.
The relationship between the three of them became tangled and complicated, turning into a dead knot that could not be untied. However, it inadvertently formed a circle that coincided with the cycle of the Heavenly Dao. It actually allowed the three of them to improve their understanding of the Dao by leaps and bounds. The cultivation of their minds actually far surpassed their cultivation realm and strength, and their temperament also changed greatly. They were like immortals who had descended to the mortal world.
Xi himself was a god who had descended to the world, so the change in his temperament was not too obvious. But Night Lone Ranger and Night Lone Ranger were different. The great change in temperament made the master and disciple become ethereal, with a kind of special charm that made them stand aloof from the world.
After Xi's cultivation formed this strange circle, her understanding of human nature began to improve greatly. In just half a month, she had recovered to the God Martial Arts Realm and mastered the God Realm.
It was only at this moment that Xi suddenly understood how she should go about her Tao. Although she was very strong in the past, her human nature was destroyed and she became a slave to divinity. That was why she was stuck at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm and could not break through.
Only when her human nature was not destroyed could she have the ability to fight against divinity and finally control divinity for her own use. Only then could she have the hope to break through to the Immortal Realm and not be controlled by divinity like before and become a cold and emotionless deity.
Of course, this was a story for the future, so let's not talk about it for now.
The scene changed back to Langya Mystery Land. Ding Ning had been sitting cross-legged in the stone stele forest for more than two hours, but there was still no movement.
Pikachu asked in a low voice with a worried expression, "Will he be okay?"
"No, he should be comprehending the formation in the stone stele forest."
The Mountain River Tortoise yawned again and again, its eyelids fighting to stay open as it spoke absent-mindedly.
Pikachu felt that it was being too perfunctory. She pouted and said unhappily, "How do you know he's comprehending the formation?"
However, the Mountain River Tortoise did not reply even after a long while. She turned her head in confusion, only to discover that this fellow had already fallen asleep. If not for the fact that she was wary of this old tortoise's unfathomable strength, she would have sent it flying with a kick.
Just as she was thinking about how to make fun of this old tortoise, a violent spirit energy fluctuation suddenly came from the stone stele forest, causing her to turn her head in a hurry.
Ding Ning's eyes were closed tightly as he floated in the air. His body was emitting a powerful spirit energy fluctuation.
The stone steles in the forest of stone steles seemed to have sensed this spiritual power. Complicated and mysterious runes lit up on the steles one after another. They emitted beams of energy visible to the naked eye and gathered into a huge rune mark in midair like a spider web. It pressed down on Ding Ning's head from head to toe.
"Be careful!"
Pikachu could feel the terrifying power contained in the imprint and couldn't help but cry out in shock.
Ding Ning's eyes suddenly opened, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Lines that were very similar to the talisman on the stone tablet suddenly appeared around him. The mark that was coming at him seemed to have lost its target and disappeared in the air blankly.
"Brother Ding Ning, are you okay?"
Pikachu looked at Ding Ning who walked out of the stone stele forest with a smile and jumped into his arms like a pigeon returning to its nest. She asked worriedly.
"What could possibly happen? Although I can't decipher the marks on the stone tablets in a short period of time, I can already simulate their patterns and mislead them into thinking that I'm one of them. Therefore, these marks are no longer a threat to me."
Ding Ning said casually on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly shocked.
He didn't know what kind of terrifying existence Lang Ya was. Lang Ya's attainments in Talisman Taoism were far beyond his reach. After spending more than two hours, he could only roughly imitate the basic trajectory of the rune imprint. He couldn't completely decipher it.
This made him realize how ridiculous and shallow he was before. He had always thought that there was no rune in this world that he couldn't decipher after obtaining the inheritance of Talisman Taoism.
Until now, when he was slapped in the face by the stone stele forest, he suddenly realized that he had never truly studied Talisman Taoism thoroughly. He just took it for granted that he had already obtained the highest inheritance of Talisman Taoism by imitating the order of the runes.
In fact, the combination and arrangement of the basic runes could give rise to endless changes. It was not something that the inheritance of the Runic Tower could completely cover.
To put it bluntly, the Runic Tower was only the inheritance of the basic principles of runes. The high-level runes on the top of the Runic Tower were actually similar to examples. It did not mean that other high-level runes could not be combined other than these high-level runes.
On the contrary, these high-level rune combinations were just a drop in the ocean among billions of combinations. It was ridiculous that he thought that this was all there was to the inheritance of Talisman Taoism. He had always been proud of himself for being able to inscribe the highest level runes.
It was only after witnessing Lang Ya's Talisman Taoism technique that he finally understood. The Dao of Talisman Taoism was ever-changing. Every small change in the order of the basic runes could possibly lead to a new 'chemical reaction', which could then give rise to a new type of talisman with unknown characteristics.
Of course, just like how the five elements reinforce and restrain each other, while the basic runes could possibly have new characteristics due to the change in order, there was also a high possibility that the inscribing would fail due to the conflicting characteristics of the basic runes. There was even a possibility of a violent explosion, which would cause the inscriber to suffer a heavy injury.
In fact, the Dao of Talisman Taoism and alchemy had the same logic.
The first step in alchemy was to identify the herbs and know which herbs would not conflict or restrain each other. Only then would there be a foundation for alchemy. The basic runes were equivalent to the herbs with different medicinal properties.
Secondly, the quantity and combination of the herbs would be determined according to the required medicinal properties. Then, the herbs would be put into the furnace according to the order. If the order was wrong, the herbs would not be able to get the desired medicinal properties and might even explode. This step was equivalent to the arrangement of the various basic runes when inscribing the runes.
Then, it was time to control the fire. This was the most difficult step in alchemy. If one wanted to control the fire of the furnace perfectly, one must have an extremely deep understanding of the medicinal properties and melting points of the various herbs. Otherwise, if the temperature was too high, the herbs would be directly burnt, causing the alchemy to fail. If the temperature was too low, the medicinal properties of the herbs would not be able to be fully utilized, and it would become an inferior alchemy pill.
This step was equivalent to the inscribing of the runes. However, alchemy had a strict requirement on the ability to control the fire. Inscribing the runes required the control of the power to reach an abnormal level. The inscribing of the runes must be done in one breath without any interruption. If one used too much force, the inscribing of the runes would be declared a failure. If one used too little force, the inscribing of the runes would not be able to exert the power it should have.
The last step was the condensing of the pill. This was also the most important step in the alchemy process. It was to perfectly combine the medicinal properties of the various herbs and condense them into a pill. This required the coordination of the alchemy technique and technique to guide the world's energy into the unformed pill, causing it to finally condense into a pill. If this step was missing, then it would not be an alchemy pill, but a pill. Alchemy pill and pill, although there was only a difference of one word, their effects were completely different.
This step was equivalent to the finishing touch when inscribing the talisman. It was undoubtedly the most important step. The finishing touch must be clean and nimble, and must not be sloppy. Otherwise, the finishing touch must be premature. If it was a thousandth of a second too early or a thousandth of a second too late, it would lead to the failure of the entire talisman inscription. Many talismans failed at the last moment. This had an extremely high requirement for the stability of one's mind.
To put it bluntly, both alchemy and inscribing were meticulous work. Not only did it require a strong theoretical foundation (a deep understanding of the medicinal properties or the basic rune principles), but it also required a calm mind, steady hands, superb means of controlling the fire, the ability to guide the world's energy, and the strength to have a strong understanding of the sequencing and combination.
In short, whether it was inscribing talismans or alchemy pills, they were not things that ordinary people could do. One must be a warrior who could sense the energy of heaven and earth.
This was probably the main reason why the ancient alchemy and talisman taoism gradually disappeared in the long river of history. After all, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the human world was getting thinner and thinner. The ancient warriors hid in their own paradises and lived their own lives. The warriors' perception of the energy of heaven and earth was extremely poor. Not to mention that they did not have the complete inheritance of alchemy, even if they had the complete inheritance, they could not refine the elixir or talisman at all.
Mao Mountain and Dragon Tiger Mountain, which were famous sects in history, had long since declined. They had been reduced to helping people catch ghosts, doing rituals, and even selling talisman paper to make a living.
Ding Ning's eyes flashed with understanding. There was no problem with the inheritance of the Rune Tower. Even the runes on Lang Ya's stele did not deviate from the basic category of the Rune Tower. It was just that the sequencing and combination was more complicated and cumbersome, and a new element, the Sealing Technique, was added.
The combination of talisman taoism and the Sealing Technique completely broke the conventional rune combination and subverted Ding Ning's understanding of talisman taoism. He felt that a new door was slowly opening in front of him.
