Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 629: The Heavenly Heart Manual, a book specifically for reading.

[Ding! Martial art "Heavenly Heart Technique" discovered. Learning it requires 1 skill point. Do you want to learn it?]

Yes!

……

Various pieces of knowledge kept surfacing in my mind, then were summarized and reorganized, and finally condensed into a highly philosophical article.

Yaro attempted to interpret it.

……Alas?

"How strange!"

Not sure, take another look.

hiss!

"It still feels so strange!"

Well... this is indeed a fine article. Reading it leaves a lingering aftertaste, much like savoring a rare delicacy.

Similar to "The Secret of Mending the Heavens".

The Heavenly Heart Manual is not only a martial arts manual, but also a philosophical book with fundamental reflections on the world, life, and values.

This martial arts manual could actually have a more fitting name.

For example—the Daoist Canon.

Of course, given the precedent of the "Heaven-Mending Technique," this situation is not surprising.

What is truly strange is the "master" mentality, or rather, "human-centered mentality" that permeates the entire text of "The Heavenly Heart Manual".

For example, a passage from the book:

The interaction of the two energies gives birth to all things, and all things are born and change endlessly. Humans, however, possess the finest qualities and are the most intelligent. Once form is born, spirit develops knowledge, the five natures are moved, and good and evil are distinguished, giving rise to all things. The sage establishes order through moderation, righteousness, benevolence, and justice…

Yaro wasn't sure if the system had extracted this content from his own thoughts, but even if it had, it wouldn't matter. After all, "the classics interpret me, and I interpret the classics," so the key was to look at the meaning of the whole text.

The most crucial sentence in this article is: "Humans are the most intelligent of all beings."

Humans are the most intelligent and the most precious of all creatures.

This statement seems normal at first glance, but a comparison with the "Heaven-Mending Technique" reveals the problem.

The Secret of Mending the Heavens states: Heaven has no heart; let the human heart replace the heart of Heaven, and reward good and punish evil.

Rewarding good and punishing evil are aimed at 'good' and 'evil'. To be more specific, it is actually about focusing attention on the 'individual' and then rewarding the 'good' and punishing the 'evil'.

The subsequent concepts of "harmony between man and nature" and "replacing the will of heaven with the will of man" are also theoretical limits of the "Mending Heaven Technique." They start with the spleen, gradually working their way up from small to large, conquering each organ one by one.

The Heavenly Heart Manual is different.

Whether it was influenced by the Confucian knowledge in Ya Luo's memory or because it incorporated the theory of "Yi Jian Shu", the "Tian Xin Jue" immediately aimed to "politically manipulate"!

Heaven and earth have no heart, but man has a heart.

Heaven and earth have no spirit, but humans do.

Therefore—the spirit of heaven and earth is humankind!

Heaven and earth are fools, but fortunately there are humans. Humans are the masters of all things, the leaders of heaven and earth, so all things must change according to human wisdom.

Is this reasonable?

If the philosophy contained in "The Secret of Mending the Heavens" can be described as "chivalry".

The "Heavenly Heart Manual" is for 'Confucian scholars', 'officials', and 'emperors'!

The specific manifestation of internal energy cultivation lies in viewing the entire body as a 'land' and one's own consciousness as the 'emperor'.

The first step is to use guiding methods and internal force to influence nutrient mobilization, guiding the pericardium to thicken purposefully within a controllable range.

Like the growth of roots and stems, a "central cabinet" with the "emperor" (self-consciousness) as the main body 'grows' directly on the thin pericardium.

That is, a combination logic internal force system that can be directly controlled by consciousness and driven by internal force.

The whole process was like a gentle spring breeze and nourishing rain, subtly and silently nurturing everything.

...If the "Heaven-Mending Technique" is about those who obey me prosper and those who defy me perish, then it is a domineering approach.

Therefore, the "Heavenly Heart Technique" follows the path of the king.

These were not the things that Yaro cared about most.

What he cares about most is the issue of knowledge.

Yaro's needs were a 'visual reading program' and an 'information storage program'.

The 'information storage program' is quite good; from logic gates to combinational logic and then to..., the content at each level is very complete.

All of this is gathered in the "Heavenly Heart Manual," within the new core internal energy logic organ that needs to be developed.

But something's not right with the remaining 'visual reading program'.

The 'visual reading process' is actually divided into three steps: sampling, quantization, and encoding!

In other words, it involves image acquisition, image partitioning and quantization, then decomposing the image into numbers using encoding, and finally storing it in an 'information storage program'.

Moreover, apart from the final storage, all the steps above only provide the solution, but do not provide the method to build this structure!

Simply put, the entire internal skill can only store digital information. After that, whether it is storing or retrieving information, Ya Luo needs to use his brain to calculate it!

For example, consider an image divided into a simple nine-square grid. The first square is predominantly white (recorded as 1), the second square is...

Finally, a string of numbers was obtained (123456789).

Can you picture the specific pattern from this string of numbers?

This is just a nine-grid image; in reality, an image requires millions of pixels.

For example, a resolution of 1366×768 has a million digits.

If it's ten, a hundred, a thousand, or even like recording a video, dozens of images per second.

Even a single second is beyond the control of the human brain!

Yaro was starting to question the meaning of life.

In other words, despite having the same camera design concept, the system only provides one information storage structure.

Or rather—a human-shaped USB flash drive?

Is the "Heavenly Heart Formula" the same as the USB flash drive method?

However, if viewed from another perspective, the current "Heavenly Heart Technique" perfectly aligns with the original intention given by Ya Luo.

—The Heavenly Heart Manual is the fastest way to cultivate internal energy while reading, that is, while in a learning state!

The current version of "Tianxin Jue" allows one to use internal energy to convert the content of reading into digital information and store it while reading, and this process is also a way to cultivate internal strength.

The Heavenly Heart Manual is extremely cumbersome when used to store images, but it is very convenient when used to store text content.

Just like Morse code, a few digits can represent a single word. With practice, you can read Morse code just as quickly as you read normal text.

A single image contains over a million digits; with the same amount of data, it could roughly store the contents of a thick book.

"The current 'Heavenly Heart Technique' cannot make people geniuses with photographic memory, but it can make people geniuses who learn and work hard... which is indeed in line with its purpose."

The more you learn, the more knowledge you accumulate.

The more you learn, the stronger your inner strength becomes.

Tianxin, the heart of heaven and earth, possessing both information and power.

"I'm too greedy."

Yarrow accepted the result.

There's another reason why he accepted it so quickly.

That is, although the system's method is foolish, it has already given a complete theoretical structure for the 'visual reading program'.

Provided the conditions are right (and there are enough skill points), Yaro can re-establish a dedicated visual reading structure at any time.

Or perhaps they could use alchemy to create an external camera.
