Chapter 366 Enlightenment
Chapter 366 Enlightenment
At this moment, the three stone tablets were already filled with players who were meditating.
The scriptures left behind by this immortal were truly extraordinary, and from time to time one could hear people shouting in surprise.
"I understand, I understand!"
Xiao Jie was inexplicably surprised. Hey, it seems that this comprehension is not difficult, as if everyone can figure out something.
However, you still need to prepare carefully before you start.
Xiao Jie took a Dihu Pill and raised his comprehension to over 30, with two levels of enlightenment. Then he clicked on the stone tablet with his mouse.
Immediately, lines of scriptures from the stone tablet appeared on the screen. The scriptures were glowing white, as if they were the effect of some ancient magic.
Xiao Jie took a quick glance and was immediately overwhelmed, as this scripture was written entirely in classical Chinese and contained many professional terms, such as 'Quchi by Sheng' and 'Wangshan Zhiqi', which made no sense to him.
Fortunately, he didn't need to really understand this thing. When the words reached the bottom, an option box popped up.
[System prompt: You stare at the words on the stone tablet, and feel the profound secrets of martial arts. At this moment, you seem to have received guidance from a martial arts predecessor from thousands of years ago. A flash of inspiration suddenly appears in your mind, as if you have been enlightened. You decide...
Option 1: Let nature take its course and absorb the ancient martial arts wisdom in the scriptures.
Option 2: Understand on your own and interpret the martial arts mysteries on the stone tablet word by word.
Option 3: What kind of scripture is this? I don’t even bother to learn it.
Uh... Xiao Jie hesitated for a moment, and decisively chose 1. He felt that if he was a real martial arts master, maybe choice 2 would be better. However, for a master like him who was indoctrinated by the system and had to search on Baidu before even knowing what the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were, it would be better not to take the risk, lest he end up making things worse.
If it is 1, the martial arts should be generated directly by the system, which would be much simpler.
This inscription clearly has the effect of magic, so why bother? Just let nature take its course and it will be done.
System prompt: You chose 'Let it be', and feeling the ancient martial arts wisdom in the scriptures, you immediately felt a huge shock. Your past experiences appeared in front of you one by one, and you were suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that many [events] you had experienced in the past contained the essence of martial arts, but you lacked guidance and could not distinguish them in the past. Now you have easily found the secret.
System prompt: You have gained 1 point of enlightenment. Since you have 30 points of enlightenment, you have gained an additional 3 points of enlightenment. You can use your enlightenment points to exchange for martial arts. Once your enlightenment points are exhausted, your enlightenment journey will end. Please carefully choose the martial arts you want to comprehend.
Current comprehension value is 4/4.
1. Start recalling.
2. I don’t want to learn anymore.
Xiao Jie clicks to start comprehending
Scenes of some past gaming experiences began to appear on the screen in front of me, with text descriptions next to them, a bit like a resume.
Phase 1: Beginners. You choose to be a woodcutter, chopping wood for a living, and you learned the combat skill "Cut in Two with One Knife". Now you look back and suddenly find that you can comprehend a set of knife skills from the experience of chopping wood. What is the difference between chopping people and chopping trees?
System prompt: Found the entry-level sword technique [Wood Splitting Sword Technique]. Do you want to comprehend it? Comprehending this martial art consumes 1 point of comprehension value.
1. Comprehend martial arts.
2. Continue to recall.
So that's how it is. After seeing this, Xiao Jie immediately understood the pattern of this inscription on the stele.
So my past experiences should be gathered into several different stages, and each stage has different martial arts that can be exchanged. The stronger the exchanged martial arts, the higher the enlightenment value required? And the generated martial arts are linked to my past game experiences?
Understood.
Xiao Jie decisively chose 2 and continued to recall what was so good about learning an entry-level knife technique.
Phase 2: Newbie. You start to adventure around the village and kill many zombies, bandits, vicious dogs, and even a wanted criminal. In the constant battles, you find the essence of fighting: you must run faster than others to survive.
Otherwise, even if you win, you won’t be able to keep the enemy.
System prompt: Found the entry-level light skill [Long Stride]. Do you want to comprehend it? Comprehending this martial art consumes 1 point of comprehension.
1. Comprehend martial arts.
2. Continue to recall.
Xiao Jie decisively chose 2. This kind of low-level lightness skill has no value at all.
Phase 3: Entering the martial arts world. You left the village and started to venture to the Luoyang Plains, fighting bandits, killing wolf monsters, slaughtering zombies, and defending the village. You even participated in the fight between the mermaid tribe and the martial arts people. This experience made your swordsmanship more sophisticated. You knew that only by risking your life could you survive in the bloody storm, and your understanding of swordsmanship became more profound.
System prompt: Found the intermediate sword technique [Blood Battle Sword Technique]. Comprehending this martial art consumes 2 points of comprehension. Do you want to comprehend it?
Keep going……
Stage 4: Fighting in the martial arts world. You begin to participate in the fights between the martial arts world, fighting desperately with others, and even provoking powerful enemies. You are chased and flee to the mountains. In order to gain power, you do not hesitate to break into the Wangliu River to look for the opportunity to become an immortal.
In the bustling city of Howling Wind City, you killed a powerful enemy within ten steps with one sword. Therefore, your understanding of swordsmanship has become extremely profound.
All kinds of bizarre encounters make you realize something unusual.
System prompt: Discovered high-level combat skill [One Kill per Ten Steps]. Comprehending this martial art consumes 3 points of comprehension. Do you want to comprehend it?
Xiao Jie was suddenly excited. The high-level combat skills should be similar to the Wolf King's Double Blade Kill. Such combat skills are still very powerful.
However - considering his own gaming experience afterwards, Xiao Jie decisively chose to continue recalling.
Stage 5: Slay demons and eliminate evil. You joined the Dragon Flying Knights and razed the Tomb of the Corpse King. You came to Canglin Province and killed several demon kings, and witnessed the amazing scene of five masters joining forces to slaughter the demon army.
You saw amazing fighting skills in this battle and were deeply influenced by them. Many of the martial arts secrets in it opened your eyes.
System prompt: Discovered peerless swordsmanship [Moon Shadow Blade Dance]. Comprehending this martial art consumes 5 points of comprehension. Do you want to comprehend it?
Oh my god, there is actually a peerless sword technique... What a pity, I only have 4 points of comprehension value, so I can’t understand it... With 5 points of comprehension value, doesn’t it mean that I need a comprehension of 40+ to be able to comprehend it?
Xiao Jie sighed and could only bear the pain and choose to continue reminiscing.
Stage 6: Ghost Fog Murder. You came to Ghost Fog Ridge, participated in the battle with the army of the dead, and broke into the ghost market, where you rescued an old friend.
You then headed to the Dharma King Temple and witnessed hundreds of thousands of years of ancient secrets.
Constantly walking on the boundary between life and death allows you to understand the true meaning of death.
System prompt: Discovered advanced swordsmanship [Soul-severing Swordsmanship]. It will cost 3 points of comprehension to comprehend this martial art. Do you want to comprehend it?
This... Xiao Jie was a little hesitant this time.
You have to know that my gaming experience will only last for the past few days.
If there is no suitable one next time, this comprehension will probably fail.
But this last stage was also the most exciting one in his gaming experience. After thinking about it, Xiao Jie gritted his teeth and continued to recall.
Stage 7: Dragon Slayer. You join a dragon-slaying team and personally kill a white dragon in the battle. When the white dragon dies, its wailing resonates with the dragon spirit in your body.
You were deeply shocked and gained great insights into martial arts from it.
System prompt: Discovered rare martial arts [Dragon Roaring Skill]. Comprehending this martial arts consumes 4 points of comprehension. Do you want to comprehend it? Dragon Roaring Skill? This is good. Thank God! I really made the right choice.
Xiao Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Not bad, not bad. Although not as good as the peerless swordsmanship, what he lacked most now was actually internal strength. Having a good set of internal skills was not bad, and 4 points of comprehension value just made perfect use of his comprehension value.
This should be the final stage.
Without thinking too much, Xiao Jie decisively chose to start comprehending.
The scenes of the white dragon's death appeared before my eyes frame by frame, and the dragon's roar resounded through the sky, lasting and endless as if it shook the soul.
The dragon spirit on Xiao Jie's body also lit up, and he saw his character suddenly make a movement to exercise his power. A phantom of a dragon emerged and gradually changed into the appearance of a white dragon, appearing and disappearing.
Immediately afterwards, the dragon roar sounded all around.
System prompt: Comprehension is successful. You have successfully comprehended the inner strength method [Dragon Roar Kung (a rare and extraordinary skill)] from the Ultimate Martial Arts Sutra. Your comprehension value is exhausted. You have been freed from the state of meditation. The words on the stele seem to have become meaningless.
Xiao Jie clicked on the stone tablet again, and there was no response. The words on the stone tablet no longer glowed, as if it was just a background in the game.
Xiao Jie had no regrets. He directly clicked on the skill list to check what he had gained this time.
【Dragon Roar Skill (Rare and Wonderful Skill)
Basic effect: Each level of skill increases your internal force limit by 120 points.
Physical Effect: Every time you consume 300 points of Internal Force, the [Dragon Roar] effect will be triggered once. A dragon-shaped shadow will appear around you, providing you with a 100-point temporary shield and making your attacks add 10 points of Qi damage, which lasts for 5 minutes. This effect can be stacked up to ten times.
When your Dragon Roar reaches ten layers, you gain the [Dragon Soar] state, your actions will have a domineering effect, and all attack skills that consume internal energy will have splash damage.
Introduction to Internal Skills: The martial arts master Yin Yue Sui Feng learned the profound internal skills during the battle with the white dragon. He imitated the sound of dragon roars to regulate his internal breath, and used his powerful internal force to transform into dragon-shaped Qi. This is a profound internal skill that can be used for both offense and defense.
Not bad, not bad! Xiao Jie was very satisfied with the effect of the Dragon Roar Technique.
It increases both shield and attack. When ten layers are stacked, you will become a dominant player. However, it takes 300 points of internal force to stack one layer, which means that 3000 points of internal force are needed to trigger [Dragon Soar]. It is quite difficult. It seems that this is a skill for a protracted war.
Having achieved a rare and extraordinary feat, Xiao Jie came to the stone tablet with the carvings of miscellaneous immortals with great interest.
Familiar with the process, Xiao Jie began to comprehend once again.
However, the results of this comprehension were a bit disappointing.
Although Xiao Jie learned a lot of life skills, the only ones he had mastered were chopping wood and cooking.
There is no need to talk about chopping wood. It is one of the most basic life skills and there is nothing to learn. It just means chopping faster and harder, but in essence it is still chopping wood.
The only thing I can do is cooking.
This time Xiao Jie had some experience. He went through the previous steps decisively and focused on the plot related to immortals and white dragons. In the end, he successfully comprehended a recipe - [Dragon and Tiger Feast].
【Dragon Tiger Feast (Recipe/Legend)
Required for use: Fish monster meat/dragon meat/dragon meat × 1 (core material), tiger monster meat × 1, Ganoderma lucidum × 1, Immortal Drunk × 1, Nine Yang Furnace Fire.
Food Effect: Satiety +300, and permanently increase your strength and agility by 1-3 points. The specific value depends on the core material you use.
Note: This effect can only take effect once per player. 】
What a good thing! Xiao Jie's eyes lit up. Although it can only increase 1-3 points, this is a permanent attribute improvement.
But not everyone can rely on eating monster inner elixirs like him to stack attributes. This thing is still of great value to ordinary players.
Although the cost is a bit high, you can definitely make a lot of money by making this thing.
It just so happens that we got a lot of dragon meat from slaying the dragon this time. We can go back and negotiate with Long Xing Tian Xia to help the guild process the dragon meat and get some benefits for our teammates at the same time.
Finally, Xiao Jie came to the stone tablet that contained the solution to all problems.
Different from the casual attitude of miscellaneous immortal stone carvings, this time, it is of utmost importance.
No matter how good the martial arts are, in Xiao Jie's current opinion, they will gradually fade away and magic is the future.
I still lack some magic now, especially powerful magic, but I don’t know what kind of magic I can comprehend from my past experiences?
Sitting in front of the stone tablet, Xiao Jie pointed at it.
As usual, the scriptures on the stone tablet appeared in front of his eyes. This explanation of all laws was much easier to understand than the "Ultimate Martial Arts Sutra". It was written in vernacular Chinese, and the analysis of various spells also benefited Xiao Jie a lot.
According to the analysis on the stone tablet, the essence of spells is the same, which is the control of power.
It's just that the power of control is different. There are visible force and invisible force in this world. Visible force is physical force and human brute force.
A more advanced level is just internal strength, which can be felt intuitively.
But the invisible force is different, whether it is aura, faith, the power of ghost curses from the underworld, or the power of the five elements, all the differences come from the world's self-analysis.
To put it bluntly, these forces are the forces that build the entire world.
The deeper the power, the stronger it is and the more difficult it is to master. The biggest representative of these is magic.
The simpler and more intuitive the power is, the easier it is to master. For example, the five elements magic, gold, wood, water, fire and earth can all be observed indirectly in reality.
Witchcraft and immortal arts are two sides of the same coin. Immortal arts are the perfect use of natural forces, while witchcraft is the instinctive use of natural forces.
Immortals control nature, while monsters are controlled by nature.
Therefore, if the magic is practiced to the extreme, it can also become immortal magic. There are even many magics that have immortal/Taoist versions, and immortal magics that also have magic versions.
Xiao Jie looked thoughtful. It seemed that the sorcery was still inferior to the magic of immortals.
If witchcraft is an iron rod picked up accidentally from an iron mine.
Then the magic technique is to melt the iron ore and cast it into a steel rod.
Soon the passage came to its end.
The option box appeared again.
[System prompt: You stared at the words on the stone tablet, and deeply understood the working principle of spells and the classification of different spell categories...
Option 1: Let nature take its course, feel the analysis and interpretation of magic in the scriptures, and recall the powerful magic you have witnessed in the past.
Option 2: Understand the magic principles on the stone tablet word by word and try to create a powerful spell on your own.
Option 3: What kind of scripture is this? I don’t even bother to learn it.
