Cataclysm King

Chapter 280 Well, I am the Light Chaser

"Master Merlin, can your field of "super limit cognition" enlighten living beings? "

"Qizhi? Barely. But that's not the point I want to say."

"Oh?"

"After the Shenxu Treasure House came out this time, we old guys discussed it and basically determined what the 'Shenwei' is."

"what?"

When Ji Xun heard this, he immediately became very interested.

He had experienced Gong Wu's divine power before.

But even the old man himself couldn't tell what it was.

To be honest, it is an "indescribable" feeling.

Got it figured out now?

Merlin glanced at Ji Xun and continued: "Your physical foundation is very good, far better than any card master of the same level I have seen. It is precisely because of this that the bottleneck for advancement behind you will be unusually high. So. You have to prepare in advance.”

After a pause, he smiled again: "That old guy Gong Wu showed everyone a clear path to 'divine power'. And it just so happens that my ability can be regarded as a shortcut on this road."

Ji Xun knew that this legendary master wanted to give him some advice, so he sincerely asked for advice: "So, senior, what exactly is divine power?"

Merlin smiled mysteriously and said, "Before that, I want to ask you a question."

After a pause, he said: "What do you think 'meaning' is?"

"this."

Although Ji Xun has touched the threshold of meaning.

But it's a feeling, not an accurate description.

If you think about it carefully, the only thing that can be described is "crisis sensing" and "sixth sense".

Merlin didn't wait for his answer, and slowly narrated: "Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, among the five human senses, only 'vision' is the strongest. But currently, I estimate that the 'world' that can be seen by the naked eye is less than 5% of the real world; And mind is the sixth consciousness of human beings. It allows people to perceive the world that cannot be touched by the five senses. Just like the gods in legends, in the eyes of ordinary people, they cannot be seen directly, cannot be described, and cannot be named. Rigorously In other words, it actually means that your perception is limited. Your 'meaning' cannot express what you cannot understand, so you cannot 'see' or 'see'."

"."

Ji Xun fell into deep thought as he listened.

I've heard this before.

And the higher the level, the more profound the experience becomes.

Now that he has advanced to the fourth level, he will find that the laws of the universe in his eyes are more mysterious than what he could see before at the third level.

It’s true that the more you know, the more you will feel “ignorant”.

Master Merlin's words gave him a vague concept of "meaning".

Mind is like a pair of invisible eyes.

Ji Xun pondered for a moment, followed the guidance and guessed something, and suddenly said: "So, meaning is the introduction of divine power?"

"Correct!"

Merlin confirmed this statement with a firm tone for the first time, "Didn't I say it before? My research has confirmed that the human soul is not located in any part of the body. It is not in the heart or the brain. Guess where it is?"

This question whetted Ji Xun's appetite, and he was also very curious.

He expressed one of his conjectures: "Like 'qi', attached to the whole person?"

Merlin shook his head and denied, "No."

He pointed to the research table and did not answer directly. Instead, he asked again: "What shape do you think this lamp is?"

Ji Xun looked at the hexagonal alchemy lamp and said in an unconfident tone: "Hexagonal?"

He knew that what the master wanted to ask would not be so simple.

But I can't think of any other answer.

Merlin didn't say whether he was right or wrong. A hint of wisdom flashed across his eyes and he continued to ask: "What about the shape of this lamp on the piece of paper?"

shadow?

Ji Xun vaguely captured something and responded: "Like a twisted leaning tower."

"Correct."

Merlin nodded and asked: "If we are low-latitude creatures living on that piece of paper, are you sure that the tower you see is the true form of the lamp?"

After repeated questions, Ji Xun fell into deep thought.

The shadow is just a phase, not the light itself.

Merlin didn't hold back any more and directly answered: "'Intention' or 'consciousness' is the projection of the soul on the body."

"."

Ji Xun heard a flash of lightning in his mind, and his eyes froze.

I also understood why Master Merlin asked about the lamp.

The lamp they saw with the naked eye was hexagonal, but when projected on the paper, it looked like a strange shape.

The shape you see is directly related to the visual angle.

It follows from this that even what is seen with the naked eye may not be completely accurate.

It may be limited cognition, distorted.

Seeing this, Merlin continued: "The mind is the projection of the soul on the body. Recognizing its location is the stability of the personality. And when you understand the divine power, the personality is improved. At the soul level, it is actually the 'personality' 'The personal difference between 'demigod' and 'demigod'"

As soon as these words came out.

For the first time, Ji Xun felt so clearly what "meaning" was.

The feeling that was so vague before has become something that can be described and even tried to be controlled.

It was like a light turned on in the dark night.

Thinking also has a clear direction.

For a moment, he fell into a very strange state of enlightenment.

Merlin had already guided him in the right direction and continued: "The world that humans see must be limited by their level of self-cognition. Therefore, 'meaning' is an extraordinary means of perception that is very important for understanding the universe. This kind of perception ability exceeds The stronger you are, the faster you will understand the laws."

Having said this, he paused and finally expressed: what exactly is divine power.

Merlin said: "The 'will' can be tempered and made stronger. It becomes tough and has its own form. Those so-called 'iron will', 'rock-like will' and 'flame-like will' are actually the tempering expressed in The process and result of forming. And when the final form is stable, the intention at that time can be called...divine power!"

Merlin actually couldn't express that vague feeling clearly before.

But now after a trip to the Shenxu Treasure House and the example of Gong Wu, everything is clear.

"You have just advanced, and your level is unstable. This is the time when you have the strongest plasticity. And you have just touched the threshold of 'intention'. You are not yet stable enough, which is also the time when it is best to guide. And my field is just right. Guide your will.”

As Ji Xun listened, his eyes gradually became distracted.

I just felt like someone was talking next to my ears.

But at this moment, he was already immersed in some mysterious state of enlightenment, wandering around the world.

It was as if my thoughts and the world were frozen.

Ji Xun didn't know that before his eyes, Master Mei Lin had quietly expanded his domain.

I don’t know how long it took.

Ji Xunhuan's dilated pupils gradually focused.

The soul seemed to have returned to the body, and the sound of saws cutting bones could be heard.

There was also the praise of Master Merlin: "Oh, that's good. I lasted for two hours and it was much better than I expected."

When Ji Xun heard this, he was a little surprised and asked instinctively: "Has it been two hours?"

In his perception, it was like he was distracted for a moment.

He also immediately guessed that it was affected by the domain.

Master Merlin's ability made some strange words pop up instinctively in Ji Xun's mind: time stops.AVI

Although time is not suspended, human perception is really unaware of the passage of time.

If he was really hostile, two hours would be enough to kill him ten thousand times.

"Yes."

Merlin explained: “I used ‘translimited cognition’ to help you improve your brain development, and also helped you guide your ‘intention’. This will greatly improve your subsequent perception and comprehension efficiency. But in the end, you still have to work hard on your own. "

It sounds like flash floods widened the river channel.

Ji Xun was not in a hurry to think about what happened and said respectfully: "Thank you, Master Merlin."

"You don't have to be so polite."

Merlin didn't mean to say anything and continued his research.

Whether it was Gong Wu's request or the young lady, he had ten thousand reasons to help Ji Xun.

Even if it takes a lot of energy.

This boot process is far from easy as it seems.

Just like a carefully crafted piece of art, if there is a slight mistake, it will be destroyed immediately.

Merlin did not elaborate on the process, but said calmly: "Okay, you have successfully advanced now, so don't stay here. My place is not necessarily safe now."

Hearing this, Ji Xun glanced at the person wrapped in a shroud in the glass jar and knew what he was referring to.

Eighty percent of this is a dangerous "pollution source" of scarlet pollution.

Master Merlin gave him a big gift. All words of thanks were too pale. Ji Xun didn't say much and turned to leave: "Master Merlin, I'll leave first."

Merlin didn't look back: "Yes. Remember to send some blood samples every once in a while."

Ji Xun: "Okay!"

I have just advanced to the fourth level, and my realm is not yet stable.

Ji Xun left the laboratory and randomly found an abandoned basement to continue his meditation and retreat, digesting and stabilizing his state.

In the dark room, he lit a lamp, meditated, and read the books.

The perception of "meaning" is now very clear.

He could clearly feel that the world in his eyes was obviously different.

Ji Xun can't yet accurately describe how much he has improved.

However, not long after he sat down, he was looking at the classics and immediately discovered the problem: "Why is the idea so clear?"

Only then did he realize what Master Merlin meant when he said it helped him increase his brain development.

Although I have a photographic memory, what I see with my eyes still requires the brain to digest and remember it.

And what he is holding now is the exclusive secret technique [Joker's Shadow Trick] that he obtained before.

I have seen this secret method before.

Even with the blessing of temporary understanding in the secret realm, it is still very obscure and difficult to understand.

The more difficult the content is, the slower the brain processes it.

However, now, when he looked at the characters and patterns that he had memorized before, he was deducing them into words that he could understand very smoothly in his mind.

Ji Xun looked at the secret method that was gradually being understood, and took a deep breath in his heart, "Hey, is this the benefit of brain development?"

The processing efficiency of the brain is so high that it feels like a dream.

Thinking of trying again, he took out a few high-level card master's books that he had struggled to read before and opened them.

This time, the look on his face became more and more intense.

Ji Xun originally read books very efficiently.

However, the efficiency of reading books will vary depending on the depth of the content of the book.

However, at this moment, his eyes flashed frequently, and his eyes flashed ten lines at a time.

Contents that I thought were obscure before are now clearly written down and integrated into my mind.

"It's amazing."

Ji Xun's eyes couldn't hide the sparkle in his eyes. He felt like his brain was like an updated computer, processing information several times faster than before.

The improvement in wisdom brought about by brain development is not superposition, but geometric multiplication.

It feels very good!

Seeing this, Ji Xun had confirmed that the "wisdom improvement" he had received was real, and said to himself: "I really owe Master Merlin a big favor."

Thinking of this, he sighed again: "But having said that, the card masters of the [Wisdom] path have such strong learning abilities. No wonder those polymaths are called mobile libraries."

Ji Xun was thoughtful.

He has even thought about his future career advancement and can consider ways to improve his wisdom.

As soon as his thoughts changed, he was immersed in efficient meditation and study again.

A few days passed by.

After the battle of "Shenxu Treasure House" in Sinless City, the population was wiped out.

This originally scared countless speculators and hunters who wanted to make a fortune in the Old World.

For a time, the bustling Innocence City became deserted.

But as the news that the survivors had received high-level inheritance in the treasure house spread throughout the federation, a large number of legends of sudden wealth were printed in newspapers. In the blink of an eye, it attracted countless adventurers to come one after another.

Moreover, the "Seventh Level" has turned from a legend into a reality, and the strategic significance of the Old Continent is even more extraordinary.

The five major federal congressmen and those major forces knew that this opportunity was too late to miss, and each of them increased their investment.

Countless official legions, hunter groups, and mercenaries also came day and night.

In just a few days, Innocence City has returned to its former bustle.

Ji Xun originally planned to stay in the basement for a few more days.

Little did he know that the ruins where he was hiding would be spotted by a group of real estate developers, and the roar of steam machinery interrupted his hard work.

Fortunately, his realm was almost stable, and Ji Xun also felt that he should go out for a walk and get some fresh air.

Not long after, Ji Xun arrived at Downing Street.

This entertainment district is even busier than before.

The streets are crowded with people and cars.

But most of them are unfamiliar faces.

In the past, Downing Street was controlled by the Brotherhood gang and the old gangsters from Innocence City. Now there are basically no familiar faces.

But there are benefits.

The original pattern was completely broken, and a new order was established.

There are now many more uniformed peace officers on the streets.

The Innocence City has transformed from a chaotic and disorderly crime city into a prosperous city with stable security.

As I walked, I arrived at No. 1 Downing Street before I knew it.

Honglou is still bustling and lively.

Ji Xun looked at the familiar Hong Lou, his eyes gradually deepened.

He went inside.

There were still lively performances in the hall.

However, most of the actors on the stage are new faces.

It had only been a dozen days, but this feeling of things changing and people changing made Ji Xun feel like a long, long time had passed.

He didn't know where he was going either.

Aimlessly.

I walked backstage again.

It's still the familiar route, it's still the familiar chief dressing room.

Ji Xun saw a familiar fat man.

"Oh, Monica, you are so beautiful today. Sorry, I've been too busy recently. I don't know why my grandma left all the business of the family's Innocence City to me. I have to deal with the Chamber of Commerce every day. Too many things. And in a month, I have to go back to Black Gold City to attend the family council."

"I know you like dancing and performing. Although you agreed to my proposal, I will not interfere with any of your decisions and respect everything you do. I mean, we can go back together this time, and I believe we will Blessed by the elders of the clan."

"."

Ji Xun glanced at it.

Song Can, who is wearing a crisp suit and his oily hair looks particularly smart under the light.

Looking at this stable and mature attire, he guessed that the fat man had begun to take over the high-level management authority of the Song family.

Slowly he will take over the entire Song family.

And the fat man's relationship seems to be going well.

Miss Monica, whom I had met in the secret realm before, did not refuse.

The words between the two were full of affection.

Ji Xun glanced at it and smiled slightly.

Although there was doubt about Monica's identity, since Song Can knew about it, he didn't want to say anything.

Just wish me well.

Ji Xun walked through the dressing room and didn't know where he was going for a moment.

Song Yu is gone, Qin Rushi must have gone to the Old Continent, and Nan Jing doesn't know where she went after meeting her mother.

Only then did Ji Xun realize that he didn't seem to have any friends left in Hong Lou.

He originally wanted to leave, but as if guided by some mysterious force, he walked to the back of the stage.

There are several small rooms in remote corners, with almost no one coming or going.

Ji Xun didn't know why he came here while walking.

He wanted to turn around and leave, but he didn't expect that he suddenly stopped just after passing one of the warehouses filled with stage props.

There's a sign on the door: Writer's Office.

The door was ajar, Ji Xun glanced at it and stood blankly on the spot.

He looked at the room. Under the orange light, a guy in plain clothes was immersed in writing and drawing on the script.

The man also sensed something. He looked up and smiled as if he saw an acquaintance.

Ji Xun's pupils shrank suddenly: "Jia Yu?"

He never expected that he would meet an acquaintance here.

No.

To be precise, it was not the Jia Yu he knew in front of him.

Ji Xun walked in and looked at the skinny mushroom head in front of him with a very complicated expression.

It seemed like he was someone he knew.

But it also feels like a stranger.

It's like a familiar soul trapped in a familiar body.

Both of them are familiar, but when used together, they are a bit strange.

Moreover, he had obviously watched "Mushroom Head" die in the secret realm with his own eyes before.

Jia Yu was very indifferent: "Please sit down. The conditions here are a bit bad. Would you like some tea?"

He poured a cup of hot tea, "I only have tea here. Black Gold City's 'Red Plum Tea' tastes very good. My teacher used to like it very much."

Ji Xun took the teacup: "Thank you."

After the mushroom head had tea, he picked up the pen and started to work quickly, "Wait a moment. This is the script that the group will use tomorrow. I have to change it. Oh, the new supervisor really doesn't understand art at all. , and changed my script into a mess."

"Well. You go about your business first."

Ji Xun didn't say anything as he listened.

Just watching silently, the mushroom head in front of him was like an ordinary screenwriter, with a grimace on the script that had been painted with ink smeared everywhere, modifying some character dialogues.

Although Ji Xun guessed that the mushroom head's occupation sequence was [Bard].

But I really didn't expect that his real career is really an ordinary screenwriter.

It's not just him.

No one would have thought that the famous leader of the Thirteen Kamen Riders, "Light Chaser," would be an inconspicuous scriptwriter for the Federation Royal Song and Dance Ensemble.

A few minutes later, Jia Yu finished writing and closed the pen happily: "Done!"

Turning around, he looked at Ji Xun: "You have advanced. Congratulations."

"Thanks."

Ji Xun hesitated slightly and asked, "What should I call you?"

Jia Yu didn't care: "Just keep it as usual."

Ji Xun still felt a little strange and confirmed: "Are you a light chaser?"

Jia Yu said casually: "Yeah."

This time he didn't say any awkward words like "I am a light chaser, but the light chaser is not me".

But he admitted it directly.

Ji Xun narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened.

But at the same time, he frowned as he looked at the pale and weak face in front of him.

Although he didn't know what happened to the mushroom head.

But this guy's energy is very weak at the moment.

It was like a flickering candle that could die suddenly at any time.

It is absolutely impossible for a strong person like Light Chaser to be unable to control his own energy.

The only explanation is that he was seriously injured.

It's so serious that it can't be solved at all.

The white hair on the temples also reminded Ji Xun of his own previous situation when his life span was approaching.

For a moment, Ji Xun's thoughts were racing and he thought of too many things.

He asked in a deep voice: "Why did you give up the [Sismark Holy Grail] to me before?"

It's over now.

Everything is laid out clearly.

If he guessed correctly, Jia Yu didn't just want to help when he went to find the Holy Grail.

It was very possible that he had guessed that the cost of this plan would be very high.

Even only the Holy Grail could save his own life.

But even though he predicted today's outcome, he didn't mention it at all that time.

Instead, he asked Ji Xun to drink the holy water.

It takes at least several decades to accumulate a cup of the Holy Grail water.

In other words, he gave what might be his only chance of survival to Ji Xun.

When Jia Yu heard him ask this question, he didn't deny it. He said very calmly: "That's not important."

Isn't this important?

Ji Xun's expression became more complicated as he listened.

Seeing his expression, Jia Yu smiled and without further explanation, he made an irrelevant proposal: "Want to play poker? Two people can play Rhodes."

Ji Xun glanced at the poker he had taken out and hesitated for a moment: "Okay!"
