Chapter 184 A new path to science and a new beginning to the path to immortality
The joy of the newlyweds has not yet completely dissipated, but a faint undercurrent is surging in the world of immortals and heroes.
The "Encyclopedia of Immortal Heroes" compiled by Bi Yao with great effort encountered unprecedented resistance in the process of spreading it to ordinary cultivators.
Those conservative cultivators are like stubborn reefs, blocking the tide of new knowledge.
They gathered together, their voices filled with disdain and resistance to modern knowledge, as if what Bi Yao was spreading was not wisdom but a scourge.
"Those weird things, chemistry, physics, what use are they to us in cultivating immortality? They are simply evil and heretical!" An old man with a white beard, holding a whisk, was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. His turbid
"That's right! We cultivators should concentrate on practicing and comprehending the Way of Heaven. Those fancy things will only disturb our state of mind!" Another middle-aged cultivator tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, as if he wanted to use the sword to cut off all "heresies".
These sounds were like fine needles, piercing Bi Yao's heart.
She looked at those eyes full of resistance to modern knowledge and sighed helplessly.
She thought that with the practicality of modern knowledge, she would be able to gain quick recognition, but she didn't expect that these conservative ideas were so deeply rooted.
Li Yuan saw Bi Yao's furrowed brow and held her hand with heartache.
"Yao'er, don't worry, I'm here." His voice was as passionate and firm as ever, as if it could dispel all the haze.
Thus, a debate that was destined to be fierce began in the school square.
The conservative cultivators all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they confidently listed the "crimes" of modern knowledge.
"Look, those 'steam engines' are making such deafening noise that they're totally disrupting our practice!"
"And those 'electricity' are so overbearing that they can hurt you if you're not careful. What are we cultivators doing here?"
Their words are full of stereotypes and fear of the unknown, as if modern knowledge is a monster that will devour their world.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan argued with reason. She gave examples of how modern knowledge could be integrated into the practice of cultivating immortals: "You see, using modern alchemy methods can greatly increase the success rate of pills and reduce the waste of medicinal materials; using modern formation theory, we can build a more solid defense system to resist foreign invasion!" Li Yuan also cooperated, using vivid examples and humorous language to refute the fallacies of the conservatives.
The two sides exchanged verbal attacks and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
The square was filled with cultivators who came to watch the debate. They watched both sides of the debate nervously, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan stood side by side, with an unyielding light shining in their eyes, like two indestructible fortresses, fighting against the erosion of conservative forces.
However, just as the debate entered a heated stage, a young cultivator slowly stood up.
This young cultivator is named Lin Feng. He has a thin figure but his eyes are exceptionally bright.
He took a deep breath and said in a clear voice: "Dear seniors, fellow Taoists, I used to be like you, sneering at these so-called 'modern knowledge'. I believe that we cultivators only need to focus on cultivation, and everything else is unorthodox." His voice echoed in the square, attracting everyone's attention.
"But," Lin Feng paused, "this is the 'Samadhi True Fire' that I improved based on the 'chemistry' principles recorded in the 'Xianxia Encyclopedia'! Its power is three times greater than that of the traditional 'Samadhi True Fire'!"
Lin Feng's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the crowd.
Those immortal cultivators who originally disdained modern knowledge all widened their eyes and looked at the flame in Lin Feng's hand in disbelief.
They could clearly feel the powerful energy fluctuations and were filled with shock.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Feng demonstrated several spells that were improved based on modern knowledge. Each one was incredibly powerful and breathtaking.
His personal experience was worth a thousand words, and it made those stubborn conservative cultivators begin to waver.
"It turns out that this modern knowledge is really useful..." an old man murmured to himself, and his hand, which had been tightly holding the whisk, loosened unconsciously.
"Yes, we have always been too stubborn..." Another middle-aged cultivator whispered, and the long sword in his hand also dropped.
More and more cultivators have begun to reflect and re-examine the value of modern knowledge.
The situation began to tilt towards Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
Bi Yao looked at Lin Feng gratefully, her eyes slightly moist.
Li Yuan held Bi Yao's hand tightly, feeling the warmth of her palm, his heart filled with joy and pride.
Their eyes met, and without words, they could feel the deep love and trust between them.
When the immortal cultivators around saw this scene, they all smiled knowingly.
A warm atmosphere spread among the crowd, like the warm spring sun, melting the ice and dispelling the haze.
Suddenly, an old voice broke the silence...
As more and more immortal cultivators came out to support the spread of the encyclopedia, the conservative immortal cultivators finally compromised.
Bi Yao's encyclopedia began to spread widely in the world of immortals, and the immortal practitioners were full of expectations for the new knowledge.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan looked at this scene, their hearts filled with a sense of accomplishment, and the entire fairy world was filled with a positive atmosphere.
However, just when everything seemed to be going well, a mysterious force suddenly appeared and tried to destroy the dissemination of the encyclopedia.
This force created some false information to mislead the cultivators.
In the square of the academy, the immortal cultivators who were originally studying the "Encyclopedia of Immortal Heroes" seriously began to question each other, and an uneasy atmosphere filled the air.
"Bi Yao's Encyclopedia of Immortal Heroes says that chemical principles can be used to refine stronger elixirs, but my elixirs have failed countless times!" A young cultivator waved the scroll in his hand angrily, his tone full of confusion and disappointment.
"And those theories about formations. I set them up according to the methods in the book for several months, but the formations simply don't work!" Another cultivator echoed, with a hint of despair in his voice.
These discordant sounds were like a cold wind, quickly sweeping across the entire square.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan looked at each other. They knew that the false information must be caused by that mysterious force.
"Yao'er, we must find this power, otherwise the dissemination of the encyclopedia will be seriously affected." Li Yuan's voice was firm and powerful, as if it could dispel all shadows.
"I know." Bi Yao nodded, her eyes becoming incomparably determined. "We can't let those with evil intentions succeed."
So, Bi Yao and Li Yuan led some cultivators who supported them and began to investigate.
They tracked the source of the false information all the way to an ancient ruin.
This relic is hidden in the mountains, and is surrounded by a rich spiritual and mysterious atmosphere.
When they approached the ruins, they felt a powerful restraining force, like an invisible barrier that kept them out.
"This restriction is very powerful, we must be careful." Li Yuan's voice was low and solemn, and his eyes flashed with determination.
Bi Yao smiled slightly and held Li Yuan's hand tightly. "Just as she finished speaking, suddenly, a dazzling light shot out from the depths of the ruins, as if issuing some kind of warning to them.
