Building a sect from scratch.

Chapter 84 Similar Universe

The essence of the moon, commonly known as the moon bead, gets its name from its natural egg-sized sphere shape.

Natural Yin essence can only condense in extremely Yin places that are illuminated by the moon. It is rare, but when it does come into being, there are hundreds or thousands of such things. Some wealthy sects even set up formations to artificially create so-called "extremely Yin places" to produce Yin essence. However, this method is not very efficient, and it takes five to ten years to produce a batch.

If Fang Xianyu wanted to "produce" the essence of Yin, he wouldn't need to go through such trouble.

After she attained enlightenment in the first playthrough, she could create as many as she wanted. Although she can't do that now, due to her hidden connection with Taiyin, she can still condense batches of them as long as she is bathed in moonlight at night. Although the efficiency is not as fast as she could casually create them in the first playthrough, it is still much faster than other sects that rely on formations to condense them.

Her ability to cultivate to the Golden Core stage in just a few months was due not only to the insights and cultivation techniques inherited from her previous life, but also to the cultivation she accumulated by consuming large amounts of Yin Essence. In fact, if it weren't for the considerable time required to digest each Yin Essence, she probably would have already reached the Nascent Soul stage!
For cultivators, the essence of Taiyin is a highly nourishing natural treasure, with one pill being equivalent to a year's worth of arduous cultivation. In addition, it has wonderful uses in alchemy, medicine making, weapon forging, and body tempering. On the market, each pill is worth at least several hundred spirit stones, and it is often in short supply.

As for demon cultivators like Jin Li and Zhu Xian, they are even more eager for them, since demon cultivators mostly worship the moon to cultivate.

but……

Jin Li pouted, correcting him for what seemed like the umpteenth time: "But you're a sugarcane spirit."

……

Meanwhile, offline, a stack of printed game screenshots was passed around among a group of people, and the meeting room was filled with arguments and small groups of people discussing the matter.

"Professor Li, your idea does have some merit, but it's a bit too idealistic. Although we haven't had a direct conflict with Alpha yet, given its displayed ambitions, we can't rule out the possibility of it attacking and plundering Earth..."

"But so far, all of α's actions have been within our expectations, which means that there is a 99% chance that its behavior logic is that of the Chinese people of Blue Star! We can't let this opportunity slip by. It's a completely new and unknown world, and the place names, gods, and other proper nouns in it are all corroborated by many ancient Chinese documents. This is 'since ancient times'! How can we not be optimistic?"

"Don't say that yet. The mythical figures like Sun Wukong, Erlang Shen, and the Seven Fairy Maidens don't even exist yet. The so-called proper nouns for gods and immortals, as well as place names, were translated for us by Alpha. So why can't Jiao Mu Xing Jun be a Virgo god? We'll have to wait for the language group to make a breakthrough before we can prove it."

"Hey, hey, hey, what you're saying is reactionary! Of course it's 'since ancient times.' Look, we have ancient records dating back to the pre-Qin period, and the place names even match up! This is our world, though not from the same father or mother! As for Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, those are characters from Ming and Qing novels. You can't use fictional characters to prove history, can you? This Little Japan doesn't have Ultraman Tiga!"

"Professor Wang, be serious! There's a recording device over there!"

"Ahem, well, what I mean is, these are all historical facts recorded in geographical records, including the Twenty-Eight Mansions, the sun, moon, and stars. Even the talisman patterns we copied down have many similarities to those in the records. Although they cannot be used on Earth, how can we not say that they are 'since ancient times'!"

"Indeed, it is difficult for us to explain why the landmasses of the two worlds are so different, but the celestial bodies are almost identical. This goes against objective logic. If the planet in the α world can encompass such a large landmass, its mass must be extremely large. Then other celestial bodies must be affected by gravity and change. This contradicts what we have observed and is really puzzling."

"You're all cultivating immortality and you still talk about science..."

"Ahem, Professor Wang, science is just a means of understanding and observing the world. Be serious, we're in a meeting!"

"No, what I mean is, is it possible that the planet where the Alpha world is located is a planet like Blue Star? You all think it has a large land area because it is compared to our China. But what if we compare it to the whole world? What if the ten continents and three islands mentioned by the Alpha world correspond to the land of the entire Blue Star, or even the land that has sunk due to tectonic shifts?"

Professor Wang's words immediately silenced the surroundings. Then, someone supported her idea: "Professor Wang makes sense. If the Alpha world only has civilizations and societies based on the Eastern fantasy worldview, and considering the so-called ten continents and three islands, its size seems to correspond to that of Earth?"

"Professor Liu! Quickly, get your math team to calculate this!"

Some people, eager for a good show, urged him on, even grabbing a few A4 sheets of paper printed with game screenshots and handing them over, saying with a touch of sarcasm, "I've even prepared toilet paper for you!"

"What's the rush! You're capable of calculating!"

"But how do you explain the Nine Netherworlds? And what about the various blessed lands and small worlds? Didn't that girl named Zhao Qing already go into the Crimson Plains Cave Small World? It seems to be a complete world with a sun, moon, and stars."

"There isn't enough data in this area to analyze it, but we can make a bold guess. Perhaps it's a special kind of spatial teleportation, similar to Doraemon's Anywhere Door, transporting you to another planet? Or perhaps it's a kind of spatial folding or expansion? After all, there are just too many unsolved mysteries we've marked in red! The number of projects we could study is countless!"

Many people deeply resonated with the last sentence: "It's so frustrating to have countless projects to write about but not be able to publish articles!"

"Boom boom boom!"

A series of urgent knocks sounded at the door. Aunt Wang, who was in charge of recording, glanced at the bustling conference room and casually opened the door.

The person outside the door, his face flushed red, shouted excitedly, "Students! A major breakthrough!"

Many people stopped their discussion and turned to look.

"The replicated Cavendish experiment and Michelson-Morley octagonal mirror experiment have both been successful! The gravitational constant and the speed of light have been calculated! These two values ​​in the alpha universe are basically consistent with those on Earth!"

The moment the man finished speaking, the conference room erupted in an uproar.

Although everyone had suspected it, the definitive experimental results still provide strong evidence for the mainstream hypothesis of the alpha world in the project team.

"Maybe it's really just a movie about Amelie next door coming to life, and parallel universes actually exist?"

"It's not necessarily a parallel universe. There's still too little data available for reference. Only when we can measure a series of parameters such as the Hubble constant, cosmological constant, Boltzmann constant, and Planck constant can we give a real estimate."

……

Don't ask me why I used the strange word "classmate," because the word I wanted to use might be locked...

I can't exactly use "rabbit" as a substitute, can I? QAQ
Also, just a heads-up: I'm a terrible art student who failed math, physics, and chemistry in high school, and this isn't a science fiction novel, so please, esteemed readers, don't use settings from famous science fiction novels to support your arguments. I'll choose to kill myself. Thank you, dear readers, for your leniency!
