Confucian and Taoist Cultivation Starting from the Equipment Slot

"A gold-quality item?"

Chen Zhuo's heart skipped a beat. He had never seen a gold-quality item before, and it looked like something used for remote communication.

But what exactly is this certification mentioned above?

He had a feeling that this thing was not simple.

Unknowable domain, unknowable domain.

Seeing Chen Zhuo nod, Shen Zhiya took out a piece of paper covered with writing from his pocket and handed it to the two of them.

"These are the initial instructions for entering the unknowable realm," he said, pointing to one of the lines.

"The flow of time inside the unknowable domain is different from that outside."

When you talk, walk, or fight inside, you only consume mental energy, not physical energy.

However, if one's mental energy is exhausted, they will be immediately ejected from the unknown domain and will be unable to re-enter for a period of time.

Then he pointed to another line, “Everything in the unknowable realm is a projection of ‘mind,’ including yourselves.”

Your image, abilities, and even the items you carry are direct reflections of what you believe you possess.

You are as strong as you think you are in the realm of the unknown.

But this also means that if you feel weak because of fear or wavering in the realm of the unknown, then your strength will truly weaken.

Shen Zhiya paused for a moment and then continued:

"Also, the Unknown Realm will conduct a trial for those who enter for the first time."

Shen Zhiya put away the paper, glanced at Chen Zhuo, and said, "The content of the trial varies from person to person, but only by passing the trial can one truly come into contact with this mysterious realm."

Finally, I wish you both the best of luck.

After Shen Zhiya finished speaking, he bowed slightly and left the place.

For a moment, only Chen Zhuo and Gu Qing'e remained on the field.

Gu Qing'e turned to Chen Zhuo, "Junior Brother, shall we set off?"

Chen Zhuo turned around and instructed his servants to inform his family that he would be away for a few days, then nodded.

"Let's go!"

As the sound faded, a feeling of mental detachment washed over me.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

The courtyard and stone platform have all disappeared.

When the scene before him reappeared, he found himself standing in a vast field.

The surrounding open landscape is fully visible.

Then Chen Zhuo noticed something puzzling.

"Where's my senior sister? Where's my senior sister who's so much older than me?"

"Could it be a single-player adventure instance?"

However, Chen Zhuo quickly rejected the idea. If it was a solo instance, then his junior sister wouldn't need to invite him.

With a spirit of exploration, Chen Zhuo began to explore this world.

The flowers were the same flowers I used to see often, and the grass was the same grass I used to see often.

Nothing strange was found.

If we had to name a single discovery worth mentioning,

That means there are no cattle or sheep in this place.

The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.

The fields, now only filled with flowers and grass, seemed strangely different.

Just as Chen Zhuo was thinking this, he suddenly noticed a herd of cattle and sheep appearing at the far end of his field of vision.

Herds of cattle and sheep strolled leisurely.

They look so relaxed and comfortable.

Upon seeing this, Chen Zhuo's pupils suddenly contracted sharply. He was certain that there had been nothing there before.

In an instant, a bold idea came to mind.

"Besides cattle and sheep, there should also be vultures and herders on the grasslands..."

As he continued to mutter to himself, the surrounding scenery gradually came into view.

At the same time, Chen Zhuo felt a sharp pain in his head.

This is a sign of rapidly depleting mental energy!

Upon realizing this, Chen Zhuo quickly cleared his mind, and the scenery in front of him gradually stopped appearing.

The excruciating pain in my mind also disappeared.

"It seems to be just as I thought! The source of the heart, the source of the heart, what you think is what you see."

"In that case, can we just imagine our junior sister?"

Having estimated his current mental capacity, he figured that calling upon someone should be more than enough.

"My junior sister should be by my side right now," Chen Zhuo thought to himself.

But nothing changed in the surroundings.

"Could it be that real things cannot be manifested?" he pondered silently.

They quickly put the idea aside for the time being.

Since we can't find our junior sister, let's explore this place first.

After determining the direction, Chen Zhuo walked towards the herdsmen that had just appeared.

Since the herders can be found through this method, there must be some basis for it.

Chen Zhuo wanted to try to communicate with him.

The herdsman was a hunched old man wearing a hat.

He was driving the cattle and sheep toward Chen Zhuo.

"Young man, you're blocking my way."

Before Chen Zhuo could speak, the old herdsman spoke first.

Chen Zhuo glanced around; it was all open grassland, so there was no way he could be blocking the way. But he still slightly stepped aside to make room.

People get smarter as they get older, and you can even communicate with him based on his appearance.

It's best to be careful in this strange place.

"Excuse me, sir, where is this place?"

"here?"

The hunchbacked old man picked up his whip and pointed around.

"This is the realm of the unknowable; the path is not yet finished, the task is not yet completed, and that is what makes it unknowable."

Chen Zhuo frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"I am dull-witted and do not understand."

He truly did not understand the old man's meaning.

Seeing his appearance, the old man shook his head, pointed in a direction, and continued on his way.

No matter how Chen Zhuo tried to talk to him, he didn't respond.

"Riddlers deserve to die!"

After muttering something under his breath, Chen Zhuo walked in the direction the old man pointed.

For now, doing as instructed is the best option.

Chen Zhuo walked in this direction for an unknown amount of time, but the scene before him remained unchanged.

This made him wonder if the old man was lying to him.

At the same time, he also pondered the words the old man had said.

"Does 'the road ahead is not yet finished' mean that the road here has no end?"

"But how can it be called a road if it has no end?"

"What are you doing here, doing things you haven't finished?"

"I remember now, I'm here to help my junior sister resolve her inner conflicts!"

The moment his thoughts settled, Chen Zhuo's vision changed, and a county town appeared before him.

Judging from its appearance, it's not much different from Qingshan County.

Subsequently, the surrounding environment continued to improve.

It's like an artist constantly painting.

The county town, the official road, pedestrians on the road, and the surrounding trees.

Chen Zhuo stood by the roadside and looked down at his clothes, which blended in perfectly with the people around him.

After tidying up his clothes, Chen Zhuo prepared to go into the city to find out what was going on.

He died halfway before even reaching the edge of the city.

"Halt! Where's your travel permit?"

"No permit? Go line up over there!"

Chen Zhuo looked in the direction the gatekeeper pointed and saw a large group of people dressed in shabby clothes lining up to be inspected.

Just as he was considering whether or not to join the queue, a commotion arose from the end of the road.
