Idealism emphasized that the mind controlled matter, and that all things revolved around the self. This was the observer in quantum mechanics. What was an observer?
What the universe was like depended on the first person to see and observe it. If you discovered a new universe that had yet to develop, the universe would be whatever you imagined it to be.
For example, Luo Kai's newly opened sea of consciousness was a new world. He could create any rules and exert any influence in it. Of course, the sea of consciousness was still very far away from materializing into a vast and limitless universe.
On the other hand, materialism believed that objective laws could not be changed by human will. What humans needed to do was to learn and explore the workings of all things in order to use them. They needed to respect nature and not control it.
If it was in the past, Luo Kai would naturally be a firm materialist. However, after stepping into the fourth dimension, he could already feel his own soul shaking the direction of matter. A complete four-dimensional creature would definitely be able to control the laws of the development of matter. They would be able to create the future and even the past.
However, he could also faintly feel the omnipresent will that existed in the universe. It could be called fate, heavenly law, rules, or anything else. Even if it could change the direction of things, the final outcome would not be changed.
There was only one truth. Materialism or idealism. He was also a little confused and hoped to find an answer here.
He calmed himself down and continued to flip through the Material Dharma Heart Language in his hands. The Material Dharma Heart Language was the general doctrine of the Nine Extremes Dojo. It emphasized the way of mathematics. What was mathematics?
"Number" was the mind, "reason" was the physical form. It could also be understood that "virtual number" was the soul, and "reason quality" was the physical form.
Therefore, the Nine Extremes Dojo had two major branches. They were the Sacred Hall of Numbers and the Sacred Hall of Reason. The two Sacred Halls were the highest academic research institutions in the dojo. The teachers in them were extremely powerful, and some could even shift the power of the stars for their own use. The Massive Heavenly Cycle Stellar Formation that enveloped the entire dojo was the masterpiece of the Sacred Hall of Reason.
At his current level, material desires were like dung to Luo Kai. Even ether particles were nothing to him. Knowledge was the only goal he pursued. He had to think of a way to head to these two sacred halls to take a look.
Early the next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone down, Luo Kai, who had been reading all night, first felt thirsty and tired. He twisted his body and left the house. Following the smell of the water flow, he walked towards the location of the brook in the valley.
This place was extremely developed. The service robot he met in the cafeteria yesterday was extremely intelligent. There were also flying ships using anti-gravity technology everywhere in the sky. However, it was extremely poor. Not only was there no bed in the room, but there was also no bathroom. There was no water or electricity, and there were no entertainment facilities. It was quite poor. The young man who shared the room with him did not come back all night. Obviously, he was not used to the living environment here.
The valley was surrounded by trees, revealing a shallow pond. The water was so clear that one could see the bottom. A beautiful lady was drawing water by the pond. Luo Kai's eyes lit up. He saw a faint red birthmark of a star on the side of the lady's face. This was the mark that Nanfeng had agreed to before coming in. He walked over and smiled at the lady. "Hello."
The lady turned to look at him. Blushing, she asked, "What's the matter?"
Nanfeng might have really lost his memory or could not recognize him. Luo Kai could only extend his hand and say, "Let's get to know each other. I'm Yaoyang."
The lady was quite shy. She did not reply. She nodded and left quickly.
In the square in the valley, most of the people were sleepy. It seemed that they did not sleep well last night.
Mu Xinghe was already sitting on a chair on the platform. When it was time, he immediately said, "If you want to learn the Primeval Essence of the Taixuan Dojo, you must first have a good body. I don't expect you to be very strong, but you must at least reach the Embryonic Breathing realm. Otherwise, you will not be able to adapt to the environment of the various Star Zones."
Then, he took out a scripture book from his chest and said, "Memorize this Nine Forge Scripture in one day. This is the introductory body refining technique of the Taixuan Dojo. Not only can it be practiced by humans, but it is also suitable for most intelligent creatures. Therefore, it is not allowed to be taught to outsiders, nor is it allowed to be spread on the galactic network." After he finished speaking, he pointed at a person and said, "You come out and recite it.
Everyone had been memorizing the Nine Forge Scripture for the whole day. There were not many words, only about 3,000 words. It was quite difficult to pronounce. It was written in a type of ancient Chinese. A word could have many meanings, and it was difficult to understand.
Luo Kai had memorized it after listening to it twice. After thinking for a while, he had a general understanding. Body refining was different from mind refining. It required years of persistence and training. It could not be achieved through a sudden flash of inspiration. Therefore, he left the square early to borrow a sharp alloy axe from the canteen. He looked for a place to cut down trees and was prepared to make some furniture for himself.
He was not picky about anything. Even if he knew that this was just a dream of someone else, he would take things as they came. He began to make plans for a long-term residence.
In a small col in the valley, Luo Kai stopped and looked at the big tree in front of him. The tree was dozens of feet wide and tall. He did not know how many years it had lived to grow to such a height. It would be a pity to cut it down. He went to look for a shorter tree. Just as he raised his axe to chop it down, he suddenly heard an old voice. "Young man, spare its life.
Luo Kai was a little surprised. He looked around and was puzzled. The voice continued, "It is difficult for us Dongbai trees to grow. This little Dongbai tree looks young, but it has grown for thousands of years. It will give birth to a spirit in the next two years."
Luo Kai recognized the source of the voice. It was the giant tree in front of him. He said in surprise, "Are you the one talking?"
The bark of the big tree slowly split open and turned into the shape of a human's mouth. It said, "It is me."
Luo Kai sorted out the scattered information about this dream world in his mind. He asked hesitantly, "Are you a demon beast?"
The big tree said slowly, "That is what you humans call me. It seems that you have just arrived here. Cutting down trees is forbidden in the Taixuan Dojo."
Luo Kai hurriedly apologized, "I am really sorry. I did not know the rules here. I will leave now!"
As if satisfied with Luo Kai's sincere attitude, the big tree let out an old laugh. "It is fate that brought us together. I have some dead tree trunks with me. Take them and use them!" As it said that, its huge trunk shook and a branch fell down.
"Thank you, old … old mister, for the tree!" Luo Kai did not refuse. He dragged the big branch and walked towards the stone house.
When he returned to the stone house, he began to dissect the branch. He first peeled off the bark. The branch that had been dead for many years was extremely tough. When he chopped it with the sharp alloy axe, it only left a white mark.
Luo Kai took a deep breath and once again chopped down with his axe. This time, he had already used the Vast Wave Energy technique to cut a hole in the tree trunk.
All techniques originated from the same source. At his current level, no matter what he did, it was a piece of cake. Very quickly, he used the limited materials to make the furniture.
In the first few days, Mu Xinghe took out a scripture for everyone to recite. It was either the Body Refining Technique or some mathematical and physical knowledge. There was also the most mysterious materialistic mechanics, which was actually quantum mechanics. The Nine Extreme Dojo advocated a microscopic particle energy called Primordial Chaos. They believed that this energy was the foundation of all things, including human beings.
No matter what era of civilization, the highest level of knowledge was always limited to a small number of people. It was not because of anything else, but because of the conflict between civilizations. Just like nuclear weapons, a strong civilization did not allow other weak civilizations to touch it. In this era, besides themselves, there were also countless enemies with high intelligence. Wars that crossed galaxies would break out from time to time. It was easy for people to be plunged into misery and suffering and planets to be shattered.
In addition, there were also some knowledge that required a very high foundation to understand. Only with four-dimensional knowledge could one break away from the limitations of three-dimensional knowledge and recognize the essence of certain things.
On this day, everyone gathered in the square. This time, Mu Xinghe did not take out the scripture. Instead, he said, "If you want to learn the Primordial Chaos Energy of the Nine Extreme Dojo, you must first learn the Primordial Sensing Technique and feel the vital energy between heaven and earth. These few days, I asked you to recite the Material Technique Mantra to let you have some understanding of the vital energy. It comes from heaven and earth and is everywhere in the universe.
The Primordial Sensing Technique of the Taixuan Dojo was born from the ancient Daoist book, the Taiqing Sutra. It was left behind by the saints of the human race. Today, I will teach you the Primordial Sensing Technique. The Taiqing Primordial Sensing Technique is the foundation of the Taixuan Dojo. Without the dojo's permission, you cannot teach this technique to others. The other branches of the Nine Extreme Dojo are also not allowed.
