Luo Kai temporarily stayed in the manor and immersed himself in the analysis of this world.
This world was not much different from the outside world. There were sunrise and sunset, wind blowing and clouds gathering, and all the physical rules were present. It was hard to believe that this was just a virtual world like a computer game.
This was the direct nature of the microscopic world. In fact, it was very easy to understand. As the saying goes, a grain of sand is a world. When everything was digitized, it could naturally be stored in a small medium.
Of course, to some extent, the outside world was also a product of digitization. The way to measure the world was not by the size of people's conventional thinking, but by the amount of data.
Macroscopic, microscopic, mind, and universe. These four concepts were intertwined. People could not get the true nature of things from the outside world. No matter how they explored, they could only get impressions and names. It was like a person walking around a castle but could not find the entrance. He could only roughly describe the appearance of the castle.
If one could explore the nature of his mind, he might have the key to open the universe.
From the whole to the parts, and from the parts to the most subtle parts, Luo Kai's worldview was also changing.
A life with a four-dimensional worldview was like a small program in a computer that was not subject to the constraints of the system. For other inherent codes, this program was like a creator that could kill and plunder at will.
Of course, the premise was that this world was a computer with a not very advanced configuration and system.
…
The old woman, Liu Qian, and her granddaughter, Xiao Ling, had lived here for generations. Their ancestors could be traced back to the ancient times before the Great Calamity. Because they were not disturbed by the chaos of the outside world, they still preserved some ancient inheritances.
They were learning a higher-level cultivation method, Taoist magic arts!
Taoist magic arts were supplemented by traditional martial arts, guided by one's mind, and based on the energy that one cultivated, they could perform some powerful methods of controlling matter with human power.
Compared with the popular body arts, Taoist magic arts required higher aptitude. It was not described as one in ten thousand, but one in ten million. It was said that if one wanted to practice Taoist magic arts, one must have an innate quality and a strong soul!
The Small Huan World was connected to the outside world after the Catastrophe, but it was not easy to go out. At least one had to be able to practice Taoist magic, which was the level of a human body master.
After Xiao Ling became a Physique Master, she went out to train. Not only did she travel to many countries, but she also inherited the will of her ancestors and entered the Human Body Technique Headquarters' Judicial Division. She was also the successor of the most mysterious Celestial Master Path in the Judicial Division.
She was very curious about Luo Kai. Perhaps it was because she hadn't seen anyone of her kind for a long time, so she wanted to pester him to talk. However, Luo Kai either disappeared all day long or stood still in the courtyard like a log, showing no reaction to anything.
…
On this day, Luo Kai returned from his travels. Today, there were two more people in the courtyard. One was an old man with a full beard, and the other was a young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He carried a long sniper rifle on his back.
Surprisingly, there was also a huge tiger in the courtyard. Xiao Ling was playing with the tiger in the courtyard. The tiger was the first to notice his movements. It stopped and roared at the door.
Xiao Ling's expression lit up as she said, "Grandfather, the very powerful person I told you about is here."
She waved happily as she said, "Brother Luo, come in quickly."
When the old man saw Luo Kai, his expression changed slightly. The higher the level of life, the stronger the sense of oppression. The star-like soul state of the person in front of him was secondary. The key was the pair of eyes that could see through people's hearts.
The eyes were the door of wisdom and the window of the soul. The naked eye could only distinguish objects and increase knowledge. The higher the level of cultivation, the wider the scope of the eyes' use. In the end, not only could they see through phenomena, but they could also see the beginning and the end!
The old woman smiled as she introduced, "Xiao Luo, this is my old man. His surname is Zhang, and his name is Shun."
"Old man, let me introduce you. This is little brother Luo Kai. If it wasn't for him a few days ago, our peach garden would have been destroyed."
The old man stared at Luo Kai with a strange expression for a long time. Then, he frowned and said, "Although little brother has reached the out-of-body realm and is comparable to an Earth Immortal, your foundation is not stable. Moreover, your soul's evil spirit is so strong. In the future, you have to be careful not to be controlled by the evil spirit. Otherwise, you won't be an Immortal, but a Devil!"
The old man in front of him had a deep breath, and his words were direct. Although his life form was not that of a Saint, he seemed to be stronger than a Saint in some aspects. He was a little similar to an Elementalist. Perhaps it was a cultivation system that did not pay much attention to the body.
Luo Kai was clear about his own problems. Currently, there were three types of energy that were the most profound in his Dao of the Small Universe. They had already deeply affected his soul. The first was the water energy, then the earth energy, and the last was the evil spirit, which belonged to the chaotic energy.
Everything about him was deeply affected by these three types of energy. The evil spirit came from his own body and represented a kind of destruction, which was death.
The water energy came from the philosophy of Taoism. The best was like water, which was life.
Between life and death, he could glimpse the Great Way, which made his life level leap extremely fast. However, the hidden dangers were also great. Whether it was the outer universe or his own small universe, they were all pursuing balance. If these two types of energy cultivated too fast, the other types of energy would not be able to keep up, which would inevitably cause an imbalance.
Now, the Dao of the Small Universe seemed to be about to take shape, but in fact, there was still a long way to go. Luo Kai sighed secretly and cupped his hands. "Thank you for the reminder."
Zhang Shun waved his hand and said, "I should be thanking you. You saved my wife and granddaughter. If I had met a young man like you a few years ago, I would have passed on all my skills to you. Unfortunately, I can only pass on my skills to one person …"
The handsome young man in the courtyard immediately looked a little embarrassed. He stared at Luo Kai for a while and suddenly asked, "You are Luo Kai."
Luo Kai turned to him, and the starlight in his eyes lit up slightly. He said, "Yes."
"This is Grandpa's disciple, Yan Kai." Xiao Ling introduced from the side.
The young man lowered his head and muttered, "Luo Kai … why is this name so familiar? I think I've heard it somewhere before."
The old woman was puzzled. "Little Kai, you know Luo Kai?"
Yan Kai scratched his head. "It's a little familiar, but I can't remember it at the moment."
Zhang Shun invited Luo Kai, "Come and have a drink with this old man. I have a kind of Yin Spirit Wine here, brewed with the souls of a hundred evil spirits. Even souls can drink it."
Luo Kai smiled and nodded. During this period of time, he had been traveling around this world. According to his knowledge of the outside world, this world was not very big. There were only a few mountains and a few cities.
However, this world could not be understood in terms of size, but in terms of size. The outside world was infinitely big, and this world was infinitely small.
There was an infinitely small space hidden in the mountain stream beside this manor. The data and codes inside were endless, representing that the world was also endless.
Other aspects were similar to the outside world. The difference between humans and ghosts was the difference in life forms. Fear came from the unknown. The humans in the outside world were afraid of evil spirits because they did not understand them. However, the people here were obviously used to seeing ghosts, and even ate them.
To the humans here, ghosts were like jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards. They were in a relationship of hunting and killing each other.
Soul Wine was somewhat similar to the soul tea Luo Kai had made before, but it was more intense. It was a kind of concentrated dark energy, which was very good.
This kind of wine was obviously not something ordinary humans could enjoy. Only Luo Kai and Zhang Shun drank one cup after another.
After three rounds of wine, Luo Kai pointed at his feet and said, "Old mister, where does the mountain stream below lead to?"
Zhang Shun muttered to himself and said, "Little brother, you can see that this mountain stream is connected to the Yin vein underground. It is linked to the heart of the earth, which is also the Star Gate. The Yin energy of the dark world is constantly seeping into the yang world. The Yin energy inside is extremely heavy. This old man can only stay there for about two hours before he can't resist the invasion of the Yin energy.
Moreover, countless ghosts have gathered below this year. Under the support of the Yin energy, they have become even more terrifying. If it was not for the suppression of the mountain peak formed by the ten thousand year old peach tree, I'm afraid that the evil spirits inside would have already taken control of the small world. "
Luo Kai was greatly surprised, "Old mister is saying that this mountain peak is a tree?"
Zhang Shun nodded and said, "Yes, when things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction. The dark energy of the small world is too vigorous. As a result, it produced the creation of the yang energy. This mountain peak is formed from the remains of a ten thousand year old peach tree. The peach tree is of the yang attribute, which is why it can suppress the Yin vein underground."
