Chapter 256: What Is The Holy Spirit?
Although he was unclear about the core logic of the Holy Spirit Scroll Painting Concept.
But it can be affirmed that this set of core logic has not fundamentally transcended the “Soul” concept, and there is still some fundamental gap from the true meaning of the Sacred Spirit concept.
“Does Your Excellency Wu Xian know?” Xu Cunxin was both surprised and doubtful.
What was going on?
The Master hadn’t figured it out yet, but the Disciple had instead understood it?
Looking again at Xue Lingling’s slightly embarrassed little expression, as well as her recent understanding related to the Underworld Club, Xu Cunxin suddenly understood in a daze.
No wonder she called her own Teacher “Master Sister.” So this Master-Disciple pair was of this nature?
“This is a bit troublesome to explain,” Wu Xian pondered and said: “I call this peculiar Law Power【Transcendence】.”
“Transcendence?” Xu Cunxin was puzzled.
“It’s roughly a process of making Lost Souls and Spirit Bodies free themselves from obsessions and hardships, achieving self-liberation and returning to Heaven and Earth,” Wu Xian described as best he could: “It’s usually used to deal with Lost Souls with deep resentment, but for some reason, your Sacred Spirits can also be affected by this power.”
“Freeing from obsessions and hardships, self-liberation?” Xu Cunxin listened in a fog, “Does Your Excellency mean that the Sacred Spirits of our Shenglin Dojo are essentially still a kind of Lost Soul Spirit Body?”
“Although I don’t know how you conceived the【Sacred Spirit】 concept, from the current perspective, it seems that’s probably the case.” Wu Xian had a strange expression, “I wonder how Goddess Highness understands the Sacred Spirit concept?”
Xu Cunxin fell into deep thought, and after a long while, she voiced her own understanding: “Sacred Spirits are the spirits of Heaven and Earth, Spirit Bodies born from the condensation of various pure powers in the world, just like the elemental spirits condensed from pure elements in the Spirit World.”
“What causes them to condense?” Wu Xian’s Soul counter-questioned.
Xu Cunxin was stunned at that moment.
Wu Xian’s counter-question hit like thunder, leaving Xu Cunxin’s brain blank.
“Naturally, they are nurtured and born from Heaven and Earth.”
“Isn’t the essence of Heaven and Earth nurturing also the process of Heaven and Earth Laws operating and interacting?” Wu Xian continued to counter-question.
This time, Xu Cunxin completely fell into a bewildered state.
After a long silence, she asked in confusion: “I wonder how you view the Sacred Spirit concept?”
Wu Xian smiled slightly and pointed with his hand at Bi Yue Wu beside him, “To tell the truth, this Gold Scroll is my conception and interpretation of the Sacred Spirit concept.”
“What?” Xu Cunxin widened her eyes in disbelief.
Even Xue Lingling beside her was shocked, “What? This Star Constellation Series of yours is actually your conception of the Sacred Spirit concept?”
Wu Xian neither confirmed nor denied it.
“How is that possible…” Xu Cunxin carefully felt the power of Bi Yue Wu, growing more confused the more she looked, “Isn’t this Scroll Painting a physical person? How could it be a Sacred Spirit?”
“Who says a Sacred Spirit can’t be physical?” Wu Xian asked with a smile.
“But…” Xu Cunxin was speechless.
Wu Xian continued: “In my view, all things have spirits, all living beings are spirits of Heaven and Earth, including us humans, and Sacred Spirits should be the concentrated embodiment of the will and spirit of all spirits in Heaven and Earth, an existence transformed from abstract to concrete.”
Xu Cunxin was greatly shocked, but she didn’t know where this shock came from.
Intuition told her that the Shenglin Dojo seemed to have always walked into some kind of misunderstanding.
This misunderstanding had always existed in the thoughts of generations of Holy Spirit Scroll Painters, a defect in the underlying code.
“So, the drawing of Holy Spirit Scroll Paintings doesn’t have to be limited to Spirit Body type or Energy type materials? As long as it fits the conceptual thought process, any type of material can be used?” Xu Cunxin said, half understanding.
Hearing this, Wu Xian was stunned at that moment.
“So you’ve been using Spirit Body type and Energy type materials to make Holy Spirit Scroll Paintings all along?” Wu Xian said incomprehensibly: “Hasn’t anyone tried using other types of Materials?”
“There naturally have been, but they’re not very easy to use,” Xu Cunxin said: “Especially the【Soul Substance】 produced by the Undead Dojo, whether as the base material for Sacred Spirit pigments or for comprehending the laws of the Sacred Spirit Divine Diagram, is clearly superior to other Materials.”
“Undead Dojo? Soul Substance?” Wu Xian looked at Xue Lingling in doubt, “What is that?”
Xue Lingling had a strange expression, “It’s a Divine Power Factor refined by the Zhao Family using Yin Soul Abyssal Monsters and their own Domain Scroll Painting output.”
“How is the Zhao Family involved too?” Wu Xian had a strange expression.
“We also suspected it was related to【Soul Substance】 before, after all, Soul Substance fits the core thought process of Holy Spirit Scroll Paintings perfectly in every way,” Xu Cunxin sighed lightly: “Now we understand that it was actually a problem with the core thought process of our Holy Spirit Scroll Paintings.”
But Wu Xian didn’t think so.
In his view, it was impossible for such a coincidental thing to happen in the world.
The situation of the Shenglin Dojo could be understood as a habitual preference for material selection naturally produced by the core thought process going astray.
After all, Spirit Body and Energy type materials were indeed more suitable for the core thought process of Holy Spirit Scroll Paintings.
And the Zhao Family happened to be able to produce a perfectly compatible material, which was rather intriguing.
The Shenglin Dojo’s previous suspicion that【Soul Substance】 had a problem clearly also found this matter very suspicious.
Xu Cunxin clearly had no time to think about such minor matters now; her mind was full of rethinking the “Sacred Spirit” concept.
Her gaze fell on Bi Yue Star Lord, lost in thought.
The Shenglin Dojo’s conception of “Sacred Spirit” had undergone nearly a thousand years of historical trials, and only now was a flaw exposed.
But Wu Xian’s conception of the “Sacred Spirit” concept had only just started.
“Your Excellency’s interpretation and cognition of Sacred Spirit have benefited Cunxin greatly,” Xu Cunxin said politely: “But is this cognition and interpretation of yours the correct path?”
“Who knows?” Wu Xian joked: “At least it doesn’t have that defect of yours.”
“…” Xu Cunxin was speechless.
After all, it had been inherited for a millennium; suddenly admitting they were wrong was somewhat hard to accept.
Wu Xian could understand this.
If it were a normal person, encountering this situation would probably cause a mindset collapse and Faith Collapse on the spot.
For Xu Cunxin to still maintain her composure was already quite “resilient.”
“By the way,” Xu Cunxin’s eyes flashed slightly, suddenly thinking of something, “Perhaps we can ask the Sacred Spirit Descendants.”
Wu Xian and Xue Lingling were baffled.
“To tell the truth, in my late Master’s conception of this【Holy Spirit Island】, the Sacred Spirit Descendants are a group of cultivators who diligently practice, seek, and communicate with Sacred Spirit power; they might be able to make the most primitive and fundamental judgment on this Sacred Spirit of yours.”
With that, she eagerly pulled the two to the Sacred Spirit Descendant Tribe guarded by the King Kong Tiger King.
“Come~ Please Your Excellency release that novel Sacred Spirit Scroll Painting of yours, and see what reaction the Sacred Spirit Descendants will have?” Xu Cunxin’s eyes showed expectation.
But she saw that Wu Xian and the other had strange expressions.
“Goddess Highness,” Xue Lingling said cautiously: “Are you sure you want to do this?”
“Is there a problem?” Xu Cunxin was puzzled, “Or does Your Excellency Wu Xian only talk on paper and actually lack confidence in this Sacred Spirit Scroll Painting of yours?”
Wu Xian shook his head with a smile.
It wasn’t that he lacked confidence; he was just afraid Goddess Highness couldn’t withstand the blow!
But with things said to this point, Wu Xian no longer held back, “I hope Goddess Highness is prepared, so you won’t be too devastated.”
With that, he summoned【Bi Yue Star Lord】 again.
Casting【Bi Yue Shines】, a bright moon phenomenon emerged in the sky, Bi Yue Star Lord transformed into the True God Bi Yue Wu in the moonlight, and displayed might toward the King Kong White Tiger Tribe below.
