Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 256 What is the Holy Spirit?

Although he was unclear about the core logic behind the Holy Spirit Scroll's conception.

However, it is certain that this core logic has not fundamentally transcended the concept of "soul," and there are still some fundamental differences from the true concept of the Holy Spirit.

"Does Lord Wu Xian know?" Xu Cunxin asked, both surprised and suspicious.

what's the situation?
The master hasn't figured it out yet, but the disciple has?

Looking at Xue Lingling's slightly embarrassed expression and her recent understanding of the Underworld Club, Xu Cunxin suddenly realized what was going on.

No wonder she calls her own teacher "Master Sister"; so this is how the master and disciple are.
“This is rather complicated to explain,” Wu Xian pondered. “I call this peculiar power of law ‘Transcendence’.”

"Save the dead?" Xu Cunxin asked, puzzled.

"It's roughly a process of freeing the souls and spirits from their obsessions and suffering, allowing them to liberate themselves and return to the world," Wu Xian described as best he could. "It's usually used to deal with some souls with deep resentment, but I don't know why, you holy spirits can also be affected by this power."

"Get rid of obsessions and suffering, and liberate yourself?" Xu Cunxin was completely confused. "Does Your Excellency mean that the Holy Spirits of our Holy Spirit Dojo are essentially a kind of spirit of the dead?"

"Although I don't know how you conceived the concept of the 'Holy Spirit,' it seems that's indeed the case," Wu Xian said with a strange expression. "I wonder how Your Highness understands the concept of the Holy Spirit?"

Xu Cunxin fell into deep thought, and after a long while, she expressed her understanding: "The Holy Spirit is the spirit of heaven and earth, a spiritual body born from the condensation of various pure forces in the world, just like the elemental spirits in the spirit world that are condensed from pure elements."

"Why do we condense?" Wu Xian's soul asked rhetorically.

Xu Cunxin was stunned.

Wu Xian's rhetorical question struck Xu Cunxin like a thunderclap, leaving her mind blank.

"Nature is born from the nurturing of heaven and earth."

"Isn't the creation of heaven and earth essentially a process of the interaction and operation of the laws of heaven and earth?" Wu Xian continued to ask rhetorically.

Now, Xu Cunxin was completely bewildered.

After a long silence, he asked in bewilderment, "How do you view the concept of the Holy Spirit?"

Wu Xian smiled slightly and pointed to Bi Yuewu beside him, "To be honest, this golden scroll is my conception and interpretation of the Holy Spirit."

"What?" Xu Cunxin's eyes widened in disbelief.

Even Xue Lingling, who was standing to the side, was shocked. "What? This constellation series of yours is actually your conception of the Holy Spirit?"

Wu Xian remained noncommittal.

"How is this possible..." Xu Cunxin carefully sensed Bi Yuewu's power, becoming more and more confused. "Isn't this scroll a real person? How could it be a Holy Spirit?"

"Who says the Holy Spirit can't be a physical entity?" Wu Xian asked with a smile.

“But…” Xu Cunxin was speechless.

Wu Xian continued, "In my view, all things have spirits, and all living things are the spirits of heaven and earth, including us humans. The Holy Spirit should be the concentrated embodiment of the will and spirit of all spirits in heaven and earth, a kind of existence that transforms from abstract to concrete."

Xu Cunxin was deeply shocked, but she didn't know where this shock came from.

Her intuition told her that the Holy Spirit Dojo seemed to have been going astray all along.

This misconception has always existed in the minds of Holy Spirit Scroll Painters throughout history; it is a flaw existing in the underlying code.

"So, the creation of the Holy Spirit Scroll doesn't necessarily have to be limited to materials of spirits or energy? As long as it fits the concept, any type of material can be used?" Xu Cunxin asked, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Upon hearing this, Wu Xian was stunned.

"So you've been using spirit-like and energy-based materials to create the Holy Spirit Scroll?" Wu Xian asked, bewildered. "Has no one tried using other types of materials?"

“Of course there are, but they’re not very useful,” Xu Cunxin said. “Especially the Soul Essence produced by the Necromancer’s Guild. Whether as a base for Holy Spirit Pigment or for comprehending the laws of the Holy Spirit Divine Diagram, it is significantly superior to other materials.”

"The Necromancer's Gym? Soul matter?" Wu Xian looked at Xue Lingling in confusion. "What's that?"

Xue Lingling's expression was strange. "The Zhao family uses ghosts and monsters and their own domain scrolls to produce and refine a kind of divine power factor." "How come the Zhao family is involved?" Wu Xian's expression was strange.

“We had suspected it was related to the [Soul Essence] before, since the Soul Essence fits perfectly with the core ideas of the Holy Spirit Scroll in every aspect,” Xu Cunxin sighed. “Now we realize that the problem lies with the core ideas of our Holy Spirit Scroll.”

Wu Xian, however, did not think so.

In his view, such a coincidence could not possibly happen in the world.

The situation at the Holy Spirit Dojo can be understood as a result of a misguided core approach, leading to a natural development of material selection habits and tendencies.

After all, materials related to spirits and energy are indeed more suitable for the core concept of the Holy Spirit Scroll.

The fact that the Zhao family happens to be able to produce a perfectly compatible material is quite intriguing.

Previously, the Holy Spirit Dojo suspected there was a problem with the [Soul Essence], and they clearly also found this matter very strange.

Xu Cunxin clearly had no time to think about such trivial matters; at this moment, her mind was filled with a rethinking of the concept of the "Holy Spirit."

His gaze fell on Bi Yuexingjun, as if deep in thought.

The Holy Spirit Dojo's concept of the "Holy Spirit" has withstood the test of nearly a thousand years of history, but only now has a flaw been exposed.

However, Wu Xian's concept of "Holy Spirit" was only just beginning.

“Your interpretation and understanding of the Holy Spirit has greatly benefited me,” Xu Cunxin said politely. “But is your understanding and interpretation the correct path?”

"Who knows?" Wu Xian joked, "At least it doesn't have the same flaws as yours."

"..." Xu Cunxin was speechless.

After all, it has been passed down for thousands of years. It is somewhat difficult to accept that they suddenly admit that they are wrong.

Wu Xian could understand this.

If it were a normal person, they would probably have their mentality and faith collapse on the spot in this situation.

Xu Cunxin is already very "strong" to be able to maintain her mindset.

“Oh, right,” Xu Cunxin’s eyes flickered, as if she suddenly thought of something, “Perhaps we can ask the descendants of the Holy Spirit.”

Wu Xian and Xue Lingling were completely confused.

"To be honest, in my late master's vision of 'Holy Spirit Island,' the descendants of the Holy Spirit are a group of practitioners who have undergone arduous training, seeking and communicating with the power of the Holy Spirit. They may be able to make the most original and fundamental judgment about you, the Holy Spirit."

As he spoke, he eagerly pulled the two of them to the tribe of the Holy Spirit descendants protected by the Vajra Tiger King.

"Come~ please release your novel Holy Spirit Scroll and see how the descendants of the Holy Spirit will react?" Xu Cunxin's eyes were filled with anticipation.

But Wu Xian and the other man had strange expressions on their faces.

"Your Highness," Xue Lingling asked cautiously, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Is there a problem?" Xu Cunxin asked, puzzled. "Or is it that Lord Wu Xian was just talking on paper and doesn't actually have confidence in his Holy Spirit Scroll?"

Wu Xian shook his head and smiled.

It's not that I lack confidence, it's just that I'm afraid Her Highness the Goddess won't be able to withstand the blow!

But now that things had come to this point, Wu Xian no longer held back, "I hope Your Highness is prepared and won't be discouraged."

As he spoke, he summoned [Bi Yue Xing Jun] once again.

With the execution of the move "Radiant Moon", a bright moon appeared in the sky. Bi Yue Xingjun transformed into Bi Yue Wu Zhenshen in the moonlight and displayed his power to the Vajra White Tiger tribe below.
