Chapter 317: Chapter 314 Void Projection Technique
The True Spirit Projection Technique was a soul magic used by the Heavenly Monarchs a thousand years ago for communication.
Using spiritual materials as a medium, one could project their True Spirit thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of miles away, thus achieving seamless communication while being in outer space.
It is said that during those days, whenever a creator held a grand assembly, tens of thousands of Heavenly Monarchs would arrive at the venue using the True Spirit Projection Technique, making the scene extremely crowded and lively. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Indeed, the existence of the True Spirit Projection Technique brought the Heavenly Monarchs closer together, shrinking the distance between them that was previously confined to one place, and facilitated barrier-free exchanges and inspiration collisions, leading to an unprecedented era of splendor, with the number of creators once exceeding thirty or forty.
Of course, this same interaction and the imbalance of having what others lacked led to a change in the mindset of the creators and eventually sparked a civil war, pushing the Heavenly Master Civilization towards destruction.
Alongside human civilization, the cultivator civilization, which was born almost simultaneously and influenced by harsh environments, rose again.
"The True Spirit Projection Technique made an immeasurable contribution to the development of the Heavenly Master Civilization, ushering it into the information age. Back then, creators even proposed the concept of a global village. If they had continued to develop positively, who knows what this world would have evolved into by now... Perhaps the entire Constant Star System would be filled with the presence of Heavenly Masters,"
Gu Jinlai sighed.
The more powerful the force, the more devastating its potential destruction.
Like at the birth of the Heavenly Master Civilization, Heavenly Masters and cultivators cooperated under the oppression of Demon Spirits, struggling to survive.
At that time, humanity was united like never before, without division.
Until three thousand years ago, when the first creator was born, humanity entered a counterattack phase, and the world gradually entered the era of Heavenly Masters, while the cultivator civilization began to decline, becoming a subsidiary.
Even a True Immortal, who achieved the Immortal Dao Fruit, had to bow their head in front of the taboo creature—the Ruins Beast.
A thousand years ago, the Heavenly Master civil war greatly weakened their Primordial Energy.
Cultivators, and even the Heavenly Masters themselves, feared this destructive force and restricted its development.
Just like the Blue Star people feared nuclear weapons.
Thus, the cultivator civilization began to shine anew, and, along with the severely weakened Heavenly Master Civilization, entered a relatively peaceful era.
"The significance of the True Spirit Projection Technique in the Heavenly Master Civilization is comparable to that of information network technology."
Gu Jinlai flipped through the two Projection Techniques, recording each.
Then...
He set a new direction.
Search!
Track!
Project!
Once the direction was established, a beam of Clear Light infused into his mind, and suddenly, the two Projection Techniques, along with some information and technological materials from Blue Star, emerged abundantly.
True Spirit Projection Technique.
Thousand-mile Light and Shadow Mirror.
Radiant Platform.
Mother-child Stone.
Telepathy.
Information communication.
"A thousand years ago, Projection Techniques relied on spiritual materials for localization, akin to a telephone or mobile phone. However, these spiritual materials all bear the True Spirit imprints left by different Heavenly Monarchs. These imprints, containing soul characteristics, are like possessing unique identification abilities of phone numbers on Blue Star..."
Gu Jinlai’s thoughts were flowing.
Various data flashed continuously in his mind.
Gradually, a brand-new direction for communication, more mysterious than any previous methods, unfolded before him.
"Contact!"
Gu Jinlai suddenly exclaimed.
Contact.
Just like the spiritual contact he had in the True Spirit Realm with that mysterious Heavenly Monarch—just through contact, they were able to communicate and connect, and the other party even passed on a Projection Technique to him.
This is the most complete form of communication technology, projection technology.
"All things have spirits, and humans are the leaders of all living spirits. Under this influence, contact between humans is actually an exchange of spirituality. In other words, any two people who have had any contact, direct or indirect, should leave traces. These traces can become the coordinates for projecting one’s own True Spirit through the True Spirit Projection Technique..."
At this moment, Gu Jinlai was enveloped in Clear Light, his thoughts racing as fast as flowing light, and his ideas leaping boundlessly unrestrained.
He mulled over not only technological aspects but also mystical aspects of True Spirits and the unknown of the mysterious side.
Gods must not be looked directly upon.
Why not look directly!?
In his supercharged brain state, he quickly provided an explanation.
A god is a powerful spiritual being, or rather, a hyper-energetic spiritual aggregate.
When mortal eyes gaze directly at divinities, they naturally bath in the divinity’s diffused spirituality, which is the luminance of the gods.
This sprituality, for the divinity, is just the tip of the iceberg, even comparable to the constant heat emanating from humans.
Yet, this kind of heat would be deadly for organisms; at best, it is akin to the existence of fungi or viruses. Billions of fungi and viruses are killed when the human body temperature rises by just one or two degrees.
The divine and humans are no different in this regard.
Gazing directly at a divinity is akin to contacting a divinity.
Even the most indirect contact, the spirituality diffused from the divinity exceeds the sum of all humanity, leaders of all things spiritual, thus changing the essence of human life on the level of the "True Spirit Realm," transforming it...
Into a being closer to that of a divinity.
"Innate Taoist Body!"
Gu Jinlai’s mind surged with this term, belonging only to a High-level Immortal World.
In the High-level Immortal World, the Heavenly Dao favors humans, granting them the Innate Taoist Body.
Therefore, plants, animals, mountains, spirits, and monsters all try their best to transform into human form, to use the innate body to perceive the Dao, cultivate, and achieve immortality.
Those who look directly at the gods, like glimpsing the true Dao.
Bathed in the Great Dao, their essence of life changes from the level of the "True Spirit Realm"...
"Hm!?"
Just then, Gu Jinlai suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.
Immediately after, he seemed to sense something and wiped his nose.
There was blood.
"This is...."
Gu Jinlai’s pupils constricted.
Shortly after, he realized something else.
Ten seconds of continuous Qingguang had already passed.
After pondering for a moment, he once again immersed himself in a beam of Qingguang, and suddenly, the dizziness quickly subsided.
In the Super Boost State nourished by Qingguang, he quickly understood what had just happened.
This was the discomfort brought about by thinking too deeply.
If mortals labor their minds, they might harm themselves.
How much more so when he was deep in thought under the Qingguang state?
This was almost tantamount to a super boost within a super boost, bringing physical discomfort was completely within reason.
"This idea is too deep for me... or rather, I have not yet reached the point of engaging with these issues... like the Eternal Furnace, although I filled it using Qingguang, without the Cheng Ying Mecha, the Eternal Furnace at the Perfect Realm would even be harmful to me. Every move, every word I utter, I have to be extremely cautious, fearing I might not control my own power and harm others, and myself..."
Clear thinking allowed Gu Jinlai to detach from this idea with absolute rationality and shift his focus back to the new Projection Technique.
Deities!
Great Dao!
Ineffable, unsearchable, invisible!
Such mysterious powers were premature for him, but using "contact" as a medium to execute the projection could be worth attempting.
"All things have spirits."
Gu Jinlai muttered to himself.
As long as the "Spirit" exists, when two life forms "contact" each other, traces naturally remain.
What he needed to do was search, analyze, and identify these traces, then use these traces as coordinates to find similar traces, thus achieving descent.
This method was much more ingenious than what the mysterious old man mentioned about collecting diffused spirituality.
"Traces."
Gu Jinlai, maintaining his Qingguang state, stared directly at his True Spirit.
As his "gaze" focused, the True Spirit seemed to continuously refine and decompose, from a massive spiritual conglomerate into countless Spiritual Senses, and from countless Spiritual Senses into countless spirits, with spirits containing innumerable thoughts and ideas.
These thoughts and ideas further diversified continuously...
His vision re-entered the True Spirit Realm.
"So-called thoughts, ideas, are merely special reactions between the Spirit through the True Spirit Realm and the physical world... Being able to perceive these reactions would allow one to understand the origin of thoughts, ideas, comprehending their mode of existence..."
But this was clearly impossible.
How many different spiritual reactions are contained in a single thought or idea?
Not several hundred million, but several trillion, several hundred trillion.
And human thoughts are changing all the time, meaning, they are almost equivalent to an instant, generating a result equivalent to several hundred trillion multiplied by several hundred trillion variables...
The faster the change in thought in an instant, the more times it multiplies, and the larger the final data output becomes.
"Understanding these reactions is unrealistic, at least with my current capabilities, so I can only specifically design a receiving device... Any creature that has had ’contact’ with me is registered in this device, leaving something akin to ’coordinates,’ and when needed, it can be directly called up, searched through the ’True Spirit Realm’, adjusted, and descended upon completion."
Under the state of Qingguang, Gu Jinlai’s thoughts were clear, seemingly always able to capture a solution from countless chaotic ideas.
As the idea of this "receiving device" materialized, a new Projection Technique gradually emerged.
When the light of the sixth Qingguang dimmed, Gu Jinlai opened his eyes.
"A new Projection Technique...completely transcending the constraints and barriers of space, just requiring ’contact’ to descend, it shall be called the Void Projection Technique."
Gu Jinlai pondered.
In an instant, a golden orb emerged next to the tiny person of consciousness.
Void Projection Technique: Entry-level.
"A golden skill?"
Gu Jinlai was somewhat surprised.
A Projection Technique, and it’s golden!?
The same gold as the Eternal Furnace?
Knowing that the Cultivation Technique he managed to cultivate into a creator, based on the Sky Purple Qi Decision, only has a hint of gold, it doesn’t count as a true golden skill.
The current technique, strictly speaking, is already akin to a simplified version of the Void Projection Technique that has discarded the concepts of deities and Great Dao...
"Golden skills, they all consume a lot of energy."
Gu Jinlai nervously looked at the remaining thirteen beams of Qingguang, then injected ten of them into it.
Instantly, everything regarding the changes and usage of the Void Projection Technique became crystal clear.
But the cultivation progress...
Was still entry-level.
"As expected."
Gu Jinlai felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
Despite simplifying concepts such as deities and the Great Dao, he had employed this idea—a strong Spiritual Life altering a weak Spiritual Life.
Because of this concept, the energy consumption of this skill...
Was higher than that of the Eternal Furnace.
"I just wanted a cost-effective Projection Technique; casually presenting a golden skill is a bit too cheap."
