The Heavenly Emperor Body shook his head and explained, "The species is not the root; the root lies in which type of species can better deduce Daoist Skills."
Elder Yuan was stunned for a mont and murmured, "Deduce? This... Are you saying humans are rely used to deduce Daoist Skills?"
"From Nuwa’s intention, it seems that’s how I perceive it."
From Zheng Fa’s perspective, Nuwa does not know what humans are; naturally, she has no intrinsic affection for the Human Clan. She did not initially intend to create humans, and her creation of humans was not due to so divine mandate:
She created the Human Clan simply because the Heavenly Dao taught by Hong Jun Taoist needed a better conduit.
To make an inappropriate analogy, Nuwa creating humans is quite similar to humans creating computers.
The eting room fell into silence: "In this way, are we... just tools?"
Despite the desire to deny it, the Heavenly Emperor Body nodded lightly and said, "From Nuwa’s perspective, I’m afraid it’s indeed so."
Seeing the silent crowd in the eting room, Zheng Fa spoke again: "If Nuwa had any divine mandate, it would be to enhance Daoist Skills, and humans are her ans to fulfill this mandate."
From Tianhe Venerable, Zheng Fa knew that pursuing Dao itself is the universe’s self-propagation—and enhancing Daoist Skills is part of the propagation process.
"..."
After a long ti, a light chuckle erged from the dead silent eting room.
"Regardless of what Nuwa thinks," Xie Qingxue smiled and said, "regardless of the origin of the Human Clan, aren’t we standing at the pinnacle of all heavens now?"
Seeing Xie Qingxue’s bright smile, Master Pang also chuckled: "I didn’t think as clearly as Fairy Xie."
The Heavenly Emperor Body agreed, "This leads to Nuwa’s second question: Why the Human Clan, or why is the Human Clan the best conduit for Daoist Skills?"
"...That’s a big question," Zhang shook her head and said, "it’s even hard to answer."
"I have an idea," the Heavenly Emperor Body spoke, "or rather, I have an idea."
"What is it?"
"We abandon the answer of humans and deduce a new species."
The people in the eting room were confused, but Zhang responded: "Are you saying to deduce the best conduit for Daoist Skills from scratch and see if it is the Human Clan?"
"Indeed," the Heavenly Emperor Body nodded lightly and said, "Just as Master Sister said, answering this question is really too difficult and too broad."
"I wish to establish a new project titled ’Taoist Body Design.’
"Taoist Body?"
"This Taoist Body is not that Taoist Body," the Heavenly Emperor Body explained, "Here, Taoist Body refers to the aning of Daoist conduit, or let’s assu we are Nuwa."
Now everyone understood and nodded.
"Designing a Taoist Body should follow two important principles."
"What are the two important principles?"
"First, does the new Taoist Body facilitate the inheritance of the Great Dao?"
"Second, does this Taoist Body facilitate the developnt of the Dao?"
The Heavenly Emperor Body spoke about so of Zheng Fa’s thoughts on this and continued:
"To inherit, firstly, you need compatibility; secondly, learning ability; thirdly, stability."
"For developnt, one needs calculation, deduction, and iteration capabilities."
Seeing everyone in contemplation, the Heavenly Emperor Body explained, "This is just an initial thought from ; if anyone has different insights, feel free to speak."
After a mont of silence, Zhang nodded and said, "In that case, we have a bit of a clue."
"Compatibility..." Zheng Fa’s eldest disciple Gu Chang suddenly spoke, "Isn’t that Spirit Root?"
"Spirit Root?"
"Spirit Root is not sothing every species has; it can even be said to be a unique characteristic of humans."
Upon hearing this, Jiao Wuji couldn’t help but nod, "Most of the Demon Race relies on bloodlines; there is no ntion of Spirit Root."
"Spirit Root..."
"I have always wondered why only the Human Clan has Spirit Roots and why there are so many Spirit Roots. Why is it that human Spirit Roots encompass all Five Elents..." Gu Chang said excitedly, "When Master ntioned compatibility, I suddenly understood that Spirit Root is not to make humans cultivate faster, but to allow humans to cultivate most cultivation techniques."
The eting room had a feeling of being persuaded; Master Pang repeatedly said, "This theory... makes sense. If I were to design a Taoist Body, the first consideration would indeed not be how fast one can cultivate, but how many cultivation techniques they can cultivate. The Human Clan’s cultivation techniques in the heavens among the Ten Thousand Races are the most in type and quantity."
Even the Heavenly Emperor Body had a sense of sudden enlightennt:
He had always thought there were too many types of Spirit Roots, with five kinds of Single Spirit Roots, Dual Spirit Roots, Three Spirit Roots... and even subdivided by percentages, these Spirit Roots were nearly endless.
He had always thought this was the origin of inequality among cultivators. The advantage of Single Spirit Root was too great, while cultivators with multiple Spirit Roots found cultivation extrely difficult. From Jiushan Sect to Xuanwei Realm, countless conflicts arose from this.
But now Gu Chang’s words made him see Spirit Roots from another perspective; perhaps this feature is not perfect, but it provides the Human Clan with the most possibilities.
Seeing others in deep thought, the Heavenly Emperor Body continued, "The research on Taoist Body Design concerns Hongng Purple Qi; on the other hand, it may allow us to glimpse the essence of a cultivator’s body, which is of great importance."
Zhang’s expression was also very solemn: "We will choose disciples quickly and form a project team."
The Heavenly Emperor Body nodded slightly.
Zheng Fa also did not place all hope in Jiushan Realm.
In the Modern World, he arranged a similar project.
In Zheng Fa’s view, compatibility corresponds to Spirit Root, while learning, calculation, and deduction abilities are related to human wisdom.
Research in this area is far more advanced in the Modern World than in Jiushan Realm.
In essence, Taoist Body Design researches the relationship between biological structures and Daoist Skills.
Jiushan Realm is rich in Daoist Skills, while the Modern World is rich in biological structure—which are almost complentary on this project.
...
Both Jiushan Realm and the Modern World beca busy due to the Taoist Body Design project, and in Nine Luminaries Heaven, everyone gained sothing.
In Five Viscera Temple, Creation Taoist and others surrounded White Lotus praising:
"Is this condensed from rit?"
At this mont, White Lotus no longer remained indifferent; his face bore a smile, with a brilliant golden wheel floating behind his head.
Zheng Fa couldn’t help but walk over.
"This is the cultivation thod taught by the two Ancestor Masters, nad the rit Golden Wheel," White Lotus explained to everyone, "Actually, there’s nothing special about it; it’s just that in this world, rit is very unique, inherently possessing various divine skills and powers."
Everyone listened with even greater curiosity, and the elder of the Lu Clan asked, "I’m curious about the specialness of this rit Golden Wheel?"
"This rit Golden Wheel is just an initiation, only having the functions of understanding the Dao and expelling evil," White Lotus explained, "If I accumulate even more rit, this golden wheel can materialize from void and even rival a Spiritual Treasure for self-defense during tribulations, making it extrely useful."
Hearing this, others beca even more envious.
Aside from the rit Golden Wheel, what truly made others envious was that White Lotus had indeed latched onto two major supports and received considerable benefits.
The elder of the Lu Clan seed to realize sothing and said, "So it seems, White Lotus Saint Monk has a chance to sit on that seventh cushion?"
Everyone was montarily stunned, then quickly understood.
White Lotus had gained considerable rit, not to ntion this rit Golden Wheel helps cultivators understand the Dao; moreover, he also possessed a Bodhi Seed.
Great rit, great enlightennt ability, it seems, he possesses both!
"Being guided by the two Ancestor Masters is already a heavenly blessing; I dare not have further ambitions," White Lotus humbly said, "but naturally, I dare not slacken, as both Ancestor Masters urged sincerely."
Upon hearing this, everyone sighed inwardly: Having a backing really allows one to do as they please.
Zheng Fa was also in awe, suddenly noticing the elder of the Lu Clan looking at him with a teasing gaze.
Seeing Zheng Fa looking toward him, the elder of the Lu Clan then turned his head and began to flatter White Lotus earnestly.
