High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily Chapter 302 - 172: Heaven’s Mark (Double-Length) (Part 2)

Like a big bully enforcing his tyranny.

Xi ngquan: "..."

He took a deep breath and said, "So, next, to the Daqi Imperial Palace?"

Chen Kuang looked at his aggrieved expression, laughed, and said lightly, "No, that place is useless except for honing one’s spirit."

Xi ngquan was startled, "Then where to?"

Chen Kuang glanced at him, "Go back to your ho."

In his mory, Xi ngquan once told him before sending him into the Liang Country Imperial Palace that he also had the chance to enter the palace and beco a Court Musician... but he didn’t make it.

The Imperial Palace is definitely out of the question; even if Xi ngquan has extraordinary talent, without backing, it would only be more difficult to advance there.

The sect path is also not feasible.

Since there are still three hundred years, then... he might as well teach himself.

In the anti, directly learn from Xi ngquan’s "Five Notes" thod.

With Xi ngquan’s talent, in less than fifty years, he could make those sects take notice of him; it wouldn’t be too late by then.

anwhile, Chen Kuang himself plans to attempt direct enlightennt of the "Ti-space" Dao.

When swinging that final sword, Chen Kuang had already simultaneously understood the Dao Rhy of "ti-space," aning he already had the capital for proving Dao.

Normally, only the Moon Embrace Realm can sense the "rhy" between heaven and earth using the spirit’s thought.

However, according to Chen Kuang’s own spirit strength, he is now equivalent to reaching the threshold of the Moon Embrace Realm.

Starting from the Middle Three Grades, the focus is no longer on hard training but on one’s natural aptitude and understanding.

If the understanding is insufficient, even if one trains day and night, it will be just futile work.

That is to say, as long as Chen Kuang can expand this Dao Rhy into his own "Dao," he could even interrogate the heavens now, directly surpassing the Moon Embrace Realm and entering the Grandmaster Realm!

However, establishing the "Dao" is too crucial, and Chen Kuang dares not act rashly.

Most importantly, Chen Kuang vaguely feels that there’s a big problem with the "Dao" of this world.

Because proving Dao to the heavens looks at actions, not heart traces, resulting in these Dao seekers seeming more trapped within their own Dao paths, only able to act according to the answers they’ve given.

A slight deviation could lead to the collapse of the "Dao."

Once, Chen Kuang thought this material Celestial Dao was interesting.

But now he doesn’t think so.

If he’s now required to set a clear standard for his actions, and he can only act according to this standard in the future, Chen Kuang would undoubtedly feel highly uncomfortable.

"Fortunately, I have three hundred years to think about it..."

Chen Kuang brought Xi ngquan back to his straw hut, murmuring inwardly, unconsciously sighed, and looked at the static status bar in the corner of his view.

He looked at Xi ngquan and said, "From today, I’ll teach you to play the zither."

...

At night, Chen Kuang sat alone in the courtyard, looking up at the stars in the sky.

The ti had passed midnight, but this ti...

The status bar didn’t refresh.

In fact, this situation has already happened seven tis.

On the first day waiting for Xi ngquan to enlighten the Dao, Chen Kuang found that his status bar didn’t refresh.

Over the next seven days, his status bar didn’t refresh at all, as if suddenly disconnected from the network.

Now, Chen Kuang could confirm that the status bar really isn’t refreshing anymore.

As for the reason...he guesses it’s most likely related to the "ti" Dao.

When he plunged into that Blood River, he felt an illusion of being surrounded and imrsed, and this illusion even persists till now.

Therefore, Chen Kuang believes that perhaps he hasn’t truly traversed again, but is still within the recorded history, only akin to Zhuangzi’s dream of a butterfly.

Now he sees the change of ti, but perhaps his physical body remains in that Blood River, trying to touch that sword sheath.

Everything before him is rely an alteration of cognition.

After all, the existence of the Pinggu Battlefield itself rely records the battlefields that once were in history.

Since it isn’t a real space, then naturally the calculation of ti wouldn’t follow normal algorithms.

Or there’s another possibility.

Chen Kuang had seen a theory in his previous life, stating that when soone travels to the past, they haven’t really traveled to the past of their residing ti-space.

Things that have happened can’t be changed.

Therefore, when the event of traveling to the past occurs, the ti-space you’re in has already beco a brand new parallel world.

The ti calculated by the status bar might be originally of the Vast Origin World.

In this newly generated parallel world, it’s no longer applicable.

Previously being able to refresh passive abilities in the Void Illusion Realm was likely due to its own particularity, coupled with the fact it was still spawned based on Cangyuan.

According to the later performance of "No Interval," if this Void Illusion Realm were developed to the extre, it might truly replace reality.

But now, within this "ti" Dao, such particularity doesn’t exist.

So it seems, "No Interval," in turn, is more mysterious.

Of course, these are just Chen Kuang’s own speculations.

A complete Dao, that’s sothing even saints can’t see...

Chen Kuang wants to understand this, sohow he must seek enlightennt.

Alas, finally having a chance to survive stealthily, yet the Golden Finger is unresponsive.

What a tragic story.

Still, fortunately, the passives he possesses now should be enough for him to live well.
