Chapter 5356: A Little Knowledge
“Nonsense!”
Wei Feng’s face darkened and he immediately retorted, “The Divine Rune Resonance Technique recorded in my Divine Kingdom’s scriptures is the supreme method for harmonizing the soul and spiritual power. You haven’t even comprehended it, and you dare comment on it?”
Oh? Divine Rune Resonance Technique?”
David raised his eyebrows, as if intrigued, “Could it be that through the fluctuations in mental power when drawing the Divine Runes, spiritual power is directed to operate at a certain frequency? If so, then this method is too old-fashioned.”
He paused for a moment, and his voice carried clearly to all present: “The essence of the Divine Rune is the embodiment of the rules of heaven and earth. True resonance is not deliberate guidance, but rather allowing the soul to merge with the rules themselves.
Just as flowing water naturally diverts itself when it encounters a rock, there’s no need for forced manipulation. You’re obsessed with the fixed pattern of Divine Runes, but you’re actually limiting the nature of spiritual power. It’s like seeing the forest for the trees.”
These words sounded simple, but they immediately exposed the core weakness of the Divine Rune Technique. Even Zi Yuan couldn’t help but feel a tinge of shock flash across her eyes.
Wei Feng’s face turned red as he tried to defend himself: “Nonsense! How could a foreign cultivator like you slander the magic that has been passed down in my kingdom for thousands of years? You say our knowledge is useless, then what profound knowledge do you have?”
David smiled faintly and looked around: “Knowledge is not about quantity, but about quality. For example, I just saw a student practicing spatial magic, but he could only tear the void by force, but he didn’t know the trick of ‘folding space’.
Using the soul as a mirror to reflect the folds of space, only a little spiritual power is needed to tear open a distance of hundreds of miles, which is a hundred times easier than tearing with brute force.”
He took a dry twig and drew a simple folding symbol on the ground: “Understand this symbol, then use your soul to feel it, and you will know if you try.”
A student who had just mastered the power of space tried David’s method with skepticism, but after a while, he exclaimed: “Really! I feel like the space around me has softened, and it’s easy to mobilize!”
The entire audience was shocked. Even Wei Feng was stunned. He only had a cursory understanding of the method for developing spatial magical powers, yet David could actually explain it so clearly?
“Hmph, you only know a few techniques!” Wei Feng immediately took out an ancient book. “This is the ‘Theory of Heaven and Earth,’ written by my sacred ancestor. This book contains the highest understanding of the laws of the Great Dao. A mere cultivator from the lower world like you can’t comprehend it?”
David glanced at it and realized that he had seen this so-called Theory of Heaven and Earth in the library before. He smiled faintly and said, “For example, the book says, ‘Gods are judged by bloodline, and all non-gods are ants.’” However, everything in heaven and earth is spiritual, even ants can shake a tree, so what does bloodline mean?
Furthermore, this chapter on cultivation emphasizes the gradual absorption of the spiritual energy of the immortal veins, but does not explain how to break through the desperate situation. “If these disciples were to abandon the treasures of the divine kingdom’s immortal veins, how much power could they attain?”
He spoke at a steady pace, each word precisely pointing out the bias in the ancient book.
Wei Feng’s face turned red, and he pointed at David, speechless for a moment. “You… you’re making a twisted argument! How could you possibly interfere with the sacred scriptures of our divine race? If you can, explain it clearly. Otherwise, today I will make you pay for your blasphemy against our ancestors!”
Zi Yuan’s eyes flashed with surprise. He didn’t expect David to memorize the contents of the book he had just opened in the library, let alone offer insight into the sacred books of the divine race.
Zi Yuan then continued, “Since Young Master Wei is so interested, why not let Fellow Daoist Chen speak? It will also give us a chance to hear a different perspective.”
Wei Feng immediately perked up, ready to argue. “Okay! Then let me ask you, the Hongmeng Sutra states, ‘Divine patterns are signs from the beginning of heaven and earth, and can only be activated by the blood of the divine race.’ Do you dare to refute that?”
