My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 257 A Wild Imagination to Change the Underlying Logic of Cultivation

The more Li Wei read this paper, "On the Possibility of Integrating the Educational Theocracy with Cultivation Advancement," the more astonished he became.

Judging from the paper, in order to verify the feasibility of this path to godhood, a large number of top cultivators conducted long-term research on the existing laws of the education system and the cultivation advancement system.

It's unknown how much time and resources were spent during this period, but in the end, all that was done was to demonstrate the possibility of this divine position existing.

Constrained by the key aspects of the Heavenly Way at that time, they were unable to experiment with the specific process of establishing divine positions, and only put forward a series of ideas that existed only in theory.

Among them, an idea was proposed to steal the Thunder's authority through educational principles and maximize the power of education.

The Way of Thunder governs life and death.

The Law of Thunder has the authority to destroy everything and strike down heresy, as well as the function of giving birth to all things and educating all living beings.

If a cultivator possesses the Thunderous Vitality Teaching Law, and combines it with this right to advance in education, the underlying logic of a cultivator's practice can be completely changed.

However, because this idea was so crazy, the research institution immediately sealed all the research data after discovering this possibility, and dared not release it for fear that Lei Bu would see it.

joke,

You actually want to take away one of the most important powers of the Thunder Department and use it for education?

If the Thunder God were to lose even the smallest part of his life-giving power, it would affect at least dozens of Thunder Gods.

If too much power is taken away, it may even directly split the entire Thunder Department, shaking the foundation of the Heavenly Court's rule.

The gods in Heaven probably wouldn't want to see something like this... right?

For some reason, the image of Emperor Shanghao appeared in Li Wei's mind.

Perhaps it wasn't that the Thunder Department wanted to split up for no reason. After all, as the oldest and most powerful force in the Heavenly Court, the Thunder Department had always been in the hands of those ancient beings, and was the biggest stumbling block on the Heavenly Emperor's path to control the Heavenly Court.

Tell a joke,

During the Heavenly Dao 1.0-3.0 era, the supreme Dao soldiers of the Thunder Department were kept in the Heavenly Emperor's study. Later, they returned to the Thunder Department, and subsequent Heavenly Emperors never touched them.

If Shang Hao really goes crazy, he might actually be able to reform the Thunder Department!

Li Wei shook his head, dismissing the thoughts in his mind, and began to use the knowledge Xiao Zi had learned at the Zhongzhou Lei Academy Library to carefully observe the unique education system of Iron Rust City.

With Zheng Youlan's student ID, all kindergartens, primary schools, junior high schools, and high schools in Rust City are open to Li Wei free of charge.

These schools form a network, connecting with the entire city, and in an unbelievable way, they created a unique [Imperial Examination System] for Rust City.

Like the [Awakening of Insects] system that Li Wei encountered after merging with the Thunder Department's laws, this system has been integrated into the world of Rust City, becoming the cornerstone of society and the operation of the world, creating a world unique to Rust City.

To truly experience the power of this system, Li Wei even borrowed the privileges of a primary school principal and tried to enter the [Imperial Examination System].

in an instant,
A flood of information came rushing in, with information on all the students in Rust City appearing before my eyes.

“In Rust City, there are 200,000 kindergarten students, of whom only one-tenth are able to graduate, that is, 20,000 go to primary school, then of those 20,000 only 2,000 go to junior high school, 200 go to senior high school, and finally only 20 go to university.”

"It seems that this process has gathered the fortune and resources of all cultivators, and finally used brutal competition to give birth to higher-level cultivators layer by layer. It's almost like raising a venomous insect."

To serve the one with all people!

The exams transform the weak into a high platform, paving the way for the strong.

This is the cultivation method that Iron Rust City came up with in its desperate situation.

"It's fair, but also cruel."

"This method gives everyone the opportunity to advance, but there is only one chance. If you fail to emerge victorious from any competition, you may never have another chance to defy fate in your lifetime."

Li Wei immediately realized that this Imperial Instruction System was fundamentally different from the "Advanced Permit".

"Outside the world, even if you haven't obtained the permission to advance, you can still directly undergo the Heavenly Tribulation. As long as you survive, you can still step into a new realm!"

There are variables in the world.

Therefore, even if a cultivator falls behind or is eliminated for a time, he still has the opportunity to make a comeback, catch up, and unleash his full potential!

If all else fails, you can cultivate the Mutant Stream. As long as you don't die, you'll be the next prodigy!
Therefore, while academic qualifications are important at this stage, they are not that important; they will not limit your potential.

"But the Imperial Instruction System is different! Kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, and high school—every stage is tied to cultivation level. You have to step on others to climb up and reach a high position!"

Your classmates will become the foundation of your character!
If you don't climb up by stepping on your classmates, you'll be trampled underfoot by those who climbed up for the rest of your life, with no chance of ever turning things around.

Therefore, the cultivation system built by the Imperial Cultivation System and the existing cultivation system are two completely different cultivation philosophies!

Thinking of this, Li Wei's gaze towards this rusty city changed again: "Everything has a price. While the cultivators here gain a fair examination environment and stable jobs, they also form an 'academic qualification,' or rather, a solidification of class!"

Moreover, this class stratification will be even more severe than that of the Heavenly Court outside!
"If the Imperial Law System is rolled out in the future, and the cultivation method for cultivators is completely transformed into an exam-based advancement system, wouldn't that completely destroy the survival space for newcomers?"

If you don't get into primary school and graduate, you'll never be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in your lifetime; if you don't get into junior high school, you'll never be able to reach the Golden Core stage.

Even undergoing the tribulation of lightning was useless.
Because the foundation of spiritual practice has changed.

Just as a mortal cannot stand in the air out of thin air, you cannot build up your cultivation out of thin air without a foundation. Li Wei's previous practice of using cultivation transfer payments to buy cultivation to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and the Divine Transformation stage will never happen again.

“Each step of academic education is a foundation for cultivation. Cultivators can only advance and cannot retreat, nor can they even stop.”

"Everyone has to compete from birth, and they have to get the best results as quickly as possible. They need to max out their exam attributes first, otherwise, if they fail this exam, they will never have the chance to take the next one!"

"This is suppressing variables with absolute certainty!"

"Compared to this, although the competition in the human realm is greater, it is still not as rigid as this Imperial Cultivation Advancement System. At least some cultivators can still cultivate through other means even if they can't get into university!"

For example, the Immortal Lord Zhaoli Internet who ascended to the Ministry of Finance and started the 7.19 version of the Heavenly Dao was said to be a powerful rogue cultivator who neither joined any super power nor had a divine bloodline family background, and did not even go to university. He gained the favor of the Heavenly Emperor entirely through his own efforts.

But if he were in this Imperial Teaching System, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to ascend!

"This is the power of linking education and spiritual advancement together."

Li Wei felt a chill run down his spine as he watched—if this thing really created a divine position, wouldn't the human world be wiped out?

At the same time, more doubts arose in Li Wei's mind.

"Could such a complex system really have been built by one person, or by a single vulnerability?"

Relying on loopholes in the Heavenly Way?
But what kind of loophole in the Heavenly Dao could extend the laws of the Education System, while also invading the Heavenly Court's system of setting up barriers to cultivation realms, and integrating the laws of the Education System into the cultivation realm barrier system, and even into the Heavenly Tribulation System, to reshape the Great Dao?
Li Wei became increasingly uneasy, both from the thought and the observation. "And just one city needs to build thirty schools—how much resource would that require?"

Although Nascent Soul cultivators can manipulate the laws, their cultivation and energy are limited. They can use the laws to fight normally, but if they want the laws to have a long-term effect on reality and continuously change the world, they must establish base stations.

The so-called base station is the real master of the law system.

For example, the reason why the Heavenly Court's Thunder Department system is so powerful is mainly because the Heavenly Court has established countless cities in the Three Realms and Five Continents, and each city has a Thunder Department branch. It is because of the existence of these branches that the Heavenly Court's Thunder Department system is able to cover the entire Three Realms and affect countless beings.

In addition, there are hospitals, logistics companies, celestial abodes, and various temples. These are all base stations built by the various laws of the Heavenly Dao in the human world!

Of course,
In addition to physical hospitals and schools.

Gods themselves can also act as law base stations, radiating the power of the laws they control.

But everyone becomes a deity to enjoy offerings and obtain better resources for spiritual practice and life. Who would want to become a "tool" for no reason?

In conclusion, a law-based system needs base stations to operate stably over a long period of time, but building base stations requires a lot of resources and specialized system hardware.

Taking the Thunder Department as an example, in order to operate the Thunder Department system, in addition to the physical IP address given by the Heavenly Dao for outputting the laws, it is also necessary to develop various devices to receive and transmit the power of the laws.

This requires advanced immortal techniques and a large amount of immortal materials!

Especially materials for immortal cultivation!
Li Wei counted that he had seen more than 16 kindergartens, 8 primary schools, 4 junior high schools, 2 high schools, and 1 university along the way. In this small rusty city, there were actually 30 law system base stations.

Where did they find so many materials?

Doesn't this contradict Zheng Youlan's statement that the forbidden area of ​​bewitching souls has scarce resources?

"Heh, even if someone is a genius capable of carving out a godhood on their own, they can't just conjure up the immortal materials needed for a base station out of thin air, can they? Or is there something else about this Bewitching Forbidden Land that I don't know about?"

With this in mind, Li Wei decided to visit other cities.

As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is not yourself, but your enemy!

Water Rust City, Mist City, and Iron Rust City have been competing with each other for so many years, and they have been able to maintain a three-way balance of power, so they must know everything about Iron Rust City.

Approaching things from these two angles might bring unexpected surprises.

Li Wei turned to the peddler who had been following him and said, "We've seen enough. Go find someone by the roadside to return the student ID to Zheng Youlan, and then we'll leave the city and go to Misty Capital first."

"it is good!"

Ten minutes later, Li Wei's mirror image and the peddler walked out of the gates of Rust City. As expected, no one stopped them. Li Wei's real body also left the city and followed the two into the mist.

As they walked, the surrounding fog suddenly became incredibly thick, and the compass the peddler used to locate the foggy city suddenly became chaotic and could no longer indicate the direction.

"How is this going?"

"I do not know!"

The peddler was in a panic. After all, he had lived in the Bewitching Forbidden Land for over a hundred years, and he had never even heard of such a situation before, let alone seen it.

"The Mist Compass is the only item that points to the Mist City, and it has never malfunctioned in all these years. Could it be that someone is secretly preventing us from going to the Mist City?"

Li Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately changed the subject, saying, "Let's go! We'll go to Water Rust City."

Upon hearing this, the peddler quickly took out a glass tube containing half a tube of green potion: "This is refined green water. It will only ever fall in one direction, so we just need to follow the direction it falls to reach Water Rust City."

Saying,

The peddler tilted the glass tube at a 70-degree angle to the left, but the water inside didn't move at all. When he turned to the right, the water poured out normally.

"Go this way!"

This time, the two did not encounter any fog blocking their way.
But as we walked along...

The peddler suddenly stopped, staring in disbelief at the trembling ground beneath his feet: "An earthquake?"

The ground beneath their feet was trembling slightly.
Unconvinced, Li Wei manipulated the mirror image to take a step forward. The ground, which had only trembled slightly, suddenly shook violently. He pulled back, and the earthquake subsided considerably.

"They're coming for me, aren't they?"

Li Wei then separated from his mirror image and ran in different directions. As a result, the whole world seemed to shake, and cracks appeared under the feet of both the mirror image and his original body, causing them to stop instantly.

Gum!

The peddler, witnessing this scene, swallowed hard and said in disbelief, "This doesn't seem to be man-made."

Just kidding, who has the ability to shake up the forbidden area of ​​illusion?
Chu Zeng, the Lord of Rusty City?
But if he wanted to stop Li Wei from going to other cities, wouldn't it have been easier to just take action directly? Gathering mist and shaking the earth was just too much of a waste of energy.

The more the peddler thought about it, the more panicked he became, and he couldn't help but ask nervously, "Inspector Li, have we encountered a ghost?"

The laws within the Forbidden Land of Bewitching Souls are extremely unique. There is no environment in which ghosts can be born, so ghosts are shrouded in mystery and terror for the cultivators of this place, and are the thing that every person in the Forbidden Land fears most from childhood to adulthood.

Li Wei glanced at the sky, and said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid it's not a ghost."

It is God!!

One thing doesn't want Livy to go to Misty City, while another thing doesn't want him to go to Rusty City.

He's caught in the middle now!
However, what Li Wei hates most is having his fate decided by others, so the more these two guys don't want Li Wei to do something, the more he wants to do it!
Give me the compass to the Misty City and the green waters of the Rusty City.

The peddler took out two guiding items. Li Wei and his mirror image each put one on, and then they transformed into Kunpeng at the same time, and began to sprint while surrounded by chaotic energy.

"You want to play, huh? Well, I'll have some fun with you guys today!!"

Whoosh!
Two streaks of roc-like shadows streaked across the space, accelerating wildly at a speed of hundreds of miles per second.

next moment,
The whole world seemed to have been divided in two.

On one side, countless mists converged, forming a vast net that seemed poised to engulf the entire sky.

The entire earth was shaking, and countless pieces of soil, rocks, and metal shattered, turning into a reverse rain that flowed from the ground to the sky, covering the entire world.

The peddler watched this scene from afar.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on his lips.
