The Heavens: Falling Ink From Douluo

Chapter 1641 Tianmu Mountains
How big is the world in your eyes?

Lin Chaoci did not directly answer Feng Qing'er's question.

Instead, he asked a seemingly unrelated question.

This is a fairly common tactic.

Answer questions with questions.

Generally speaking, when this tactic is used, there are two subtexts.

The first possibility is that I don't want to continue talking to you.

The second method is to throw out a brick to attract jade.

Therefore, Feng Qing'er subconsciously glanced at Lin Chaoci.

After confirming that Lin Chaoci did not mean the first interpretation.

Think about it for a while.

He then stated frankly, "The world in my eyes is nothing more than the Dou Qi Continent beneath our feet, with at most the addition of the unknown world that the Dou Emperors of each generation went to when they left. But whether they actually reached that unknown world is still unknown, and there is no evidence to prove it. And I never believe things without evidence as if they were true. Therefore, the world in my eyes is only the Dou Qi Continent beneath our feet."

Feng Qing'er is right.

From both a logical and emotional standpoint, her answer was impeccable.

But being impeccable doesn't mean she's right.

At least that's how Lin Chaoci heard it.

This kind of understanding is still too narrow.

Therefore, Lin Chaoci first nodded, affirming what Feng Qing'er said, which could also be said to be the understanding of the vast majority of cultivators on the Dou Qi Continent. Then, he asked in a deep voice, "Have you ever thought about... why the continent we are standing on is called the Dou Qi Continent, and not some other continent?"

"Perhaps it's because we cultivate battle qi?"

Feng Qing'er offered a seemingly reasonable explanation.

This was also an explanation that surprised Lin Chaoci somewhat.

However, although Feng Qing'er did not play by the rules, it was unrealistic to expect her to disrupt Lin Chaoci's strategy of using a pretext to elicit further discussion.

Lin Chaoci quickly steered the conversation back on track.

Smiling, he continued in return, "Then why is battle qi called battle qi, and not spiritual power, elemental power, soul power, magic power, or something similar?"

This question was clearly beyond Feng Qing'er's knowledge.

That is why Feng Qing'er could not answer.

I can only shake my head.

At the same time, he urged Lin Chaoci with his eyes.

The meaning is clear: Hurry up and tell me, stop keeping me in suspense.

Lin Chaoci naturally understood Feng Qing'er's meaning, chuckled, and then said, "Because the extraordinary powers in each world are different, even if they are all variations on the same theme, there are still subtle differences. The reason why battle qi is called battle qi is that it is a popular science conclusion made by those strong people who cultivate other extraordinary powers, based on the differences between worlds. Just like your Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan, the reason why you are called Heavenly Demon Phoenix is ​​because your ancestors defined themselves as Heavenly Demon Phoenix. If they had not thought of the name Heavenly Demon Phoenix, but rather something like Earth Demon Phoenix, Human Demon Phoenix, Fire Demon Phoenix, Earth Demon Phoenix, Golden Demon Phoenix, etc., your Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan would have changed its name and been defined accordingly. Think about it carefully, isn't that right?"

Feng Qing'er was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to speak.

After all, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix is ​​the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

There aren't that many unpleasant names.

There aren't that many assumptions or possibilities.

But on second thought, Lin Chaoci wasn't wrong either.

Just like humans.

From a biological perspective, there is no difference between humans and wild animals. Just like tigers and eagles, they are nominally both wild animals. But conversely, humans are also a kind of wild animal. So what right do we have to discriminate against tigers and eagles, or even have the right to define them?

Humans named tigers, calling them tigers.

Therefore, tigers can naturally give human names.

They call humans a special group of apes.

In fact, in a tiger's mind, apes might not be called apes, but rather prey that can climb trees and walk upright.

Do foods need to have names?
Obviously not!
Just like when humans eat pork, they don't deliberately give every piece of pork, or even every pig, a decent name!
The differences between organisms are really small.

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, remains constant.

Therefore, the name "Heavenly Demon Phoenix" was indeed decided by the very first Heavenly Demon Phoenix. If it had not acknowledged itself as the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and instead called itself the Earthly Demon Phoenix, perhaps hundreds of thousands of years later, it would also be calling itself an Earthly Demon Phoenix.

Thinking hard.

However, after figuring this out, she roughly understood what Lin Chaoci wanted to express. She thoughtfully took over the topic and speculated, "So, you are a supreme dragon-phoenix from outside the Dou Qi Continent, who experienced many twists and turns I don't know about, used some methods I don't understand, reincarnated, and retained your bloodline and even your talents to be reborn as a human?"

Talking and talking.

This made Feng Qing'er laugh instead.

Shake his head.

He muttered to himself, "But how could this be? I'm so confused..."

"In fact, you're right about half of it."

"As for the impossible..."

That's too absolute a statement.

Nothing is impossible in this world.

"If you were to tell a fighter from a small place: 'After becoming a Dou Huang, even if your body is destroyed, you have a chance to survive because your soul can break free from the limitations of your body. After becoming a Dou Zong, your soul can even possess a certain level of strength. After becoming a Dou Zun, you can even seize another person's body and live another life. As for Dou Sheng, the power is even greater.'"

"Believe me."

"He will definitely think of you as a liar."

"Or should we treat him as a madman?"

"In short, it is impossible for someone with limited knowledge to accept such common sense if suddenly given a large amount of knowledge."

"The same applies to you and me."

Lin Chaoci casually gave a very real example.

This left Feng Qing'er speechless.

Common sense told her that this was a fallacy.

But reason told her that the logic was correct.

Therefore, Feng Qing'er subconsciously raised her hand, signaling Lin Chaoci, who had already fallen silent, to stop talking. Then, she began to process this fact: "Wait a minute, let me sort this out, something feels off..."

Lin Chaoci nodded.

He understood and gestured for them to proceed.

Then, while drinking tea.

Looking out at the scenery.

It is worth mentioning that this tea is not ordinary tea, but rather a very precious tea for enlightenment.

The raw materials are very simple.

A tea leaf.

Plain water.

Then it was gone.

Of course, if there is high-quality water available.

You can also replace it with boiled water.

The core element is still that tea leaf. It provides numerous bonuses, such as harmony with nature.

In fact, it's not impossible to eat it raw. You can simply take a tea leaf, put it in your mouth, and hold it like a mint.

But generally speaking, it's more practical to brew it as tea.

Eating it directly would be a complete waste.

The fact that this way of eating exists indicates that someone has tried it.

In fact, Wudao tea is extremely precious.

Even the eight ancient clans did not have much in storage.

A single, high-quality, ordinary Enlightenment Tea leaf is enough to exchange for a Grade 7 pill in the outside world. The group with the greatest demand for this product is cultivators at the Dou Zong, Dou Zun, Ban Sheng, and Dou Sheng levels. This is because after reaching the Dou Zong level, the difference in cultivation level becomes secondary; the understanding of spatial power becomes the most important. Enlightenment Tea leaves are like skill points, directly enhancing a cultivator's understanding of space. Although reality is certainly not like a game where you can tap your finger and your understanding skyrockets, in fact, you still need to comprehend it slowly. However, with the help of Enlightenment Tea leaves, the speed will be increased by more than a hundred times. It's like borrowing a more advanced brain from outside and installing it on you. The analytical speed, like a system refresh, is enough to make anyone who has experienced it unwilling to leave.

As for cultivators below the Dou Zong level.

It's not that it can't be used.

However, the effect of using this on them is obviously not as direct as that on cultivators at the Dou Zong level or above.

After all, the Douhuang has not yet reached the realm of space.

They were given the tea leaves from the Enlightenment Tea.

After they took it.

At most, it can help you quickly learn a low-level combat skill.

Or it could mean cultivating to the point of minor success, major success, or perfection.

Specifically, it depends on the user's basic understanding and the quality of the tea.

A hundred-year-old Enlightenment Tea leaf is obviously different from a thousand-year-old Enlightenment Tea leaf. The latter provides more than just ten times the blessing. The latter's effects become stronger with each stage it reaches.

Moreover, a single Enlightenment Tea leaf is comparable to a Grade 7 pill. Any Dou Huang with a sound mind wouldn't waste such skill points at the current stage, or hoard it as a treasure to quickly level up after reaching Dou Zong, or sell it through a channel to exchange for a Grade 6 Breakthrough Pill or other resources, prioritizing reaching Dou Zong cultivation first.

But who is Feng Qing'er?

He is now the young patriarch of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan!
Others may not be able to obtain this resource, but Feng Qing'er will definitely be able to.

Even though Feng Qing'er is not yet a Dou Zong.

He wasn't even a Dou Huang.

It's a bit too early to drink this kind of tea.

But as long as it's not ruined, no one will say anything.

Furthermore, if Feng Qing'er were to frankly admit that although she had used the Enlightenment Tea to entertain guests without consuming it all herself, the person she invited was the Supreme Dragon-Phoenix who appeared more than two years ago, thus strengthening their friendship, the higher-ups of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan might even praise Feng Qing'er. Just as no one would complain about having too much food, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan wouldn't complain about having too many geniuses. Having Feng Qing'er, the Supreme Dragon-Phoenix, is certainly good, but if that mysterious and unpredictable Supreme Dragon-Phoenix also joined the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, it would be like icing on the cake, further enhancing the clan's cohesion.

Therefore, although Wudao tea is very precious.

But with the backing of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, Feng Qing'er could still afford to drink it.

But, having said that.

Feng Qing'er didn't have many Enlightenment Tea leaves in her hand.

There were four small packets in total, scattered and miscellaneous.

It weighs about two jin (approximately 1 kg).

In terms of value, it is still far from being a grade nine elixir.

Including the tea and snacks on the table.

They are all quite valuable.

It can only be said that most geniuses and strong individuals are created by throwing resources at them.

Don't underestimate this small, hastily arranged tea party.

If I had to put it in perspective, it was equivalent to consuming nearly a thousand years of Yunlan Sect's savings.

Don't think this statement is an exaggeration.

Just look at Yunshan and you'll know.

Yunshan couldn't even afford to hire a sixth-grade alchemist to refine the Breakthrough Pill. It's important to understand that while Yunyun is the sect leader of the Yunlan Sect, Yunshan is her master. Given that Yunshan's conditions are reasonable, Yunyun wouldn't refuse to pay. Furthermore, if Yunshan breaks through, it would be a good thing for the entire Yunlan Sect, meaning the sect would truly be above the Jia Ma Empire. Even if a young sect leader like Nalan Yanran publicly slapped Yao Ye, the royal princess in charge of 50,000 troops, the Jia Ma royal family would still shamelessly praise her. Because if the Jia Ma royal family dared to show disrespect, Yunshan would dare to wipe them out, or at worst, support another family to rise to power. In this world, there are always people who want to climb the social ladder; both morally and logically, Yunshan's breakthrough is a legitimate need.

But why has Yunshan been unable to obtain the Breakthrough Pill for so long?
Because he has no money!
Please ask a sixth-grade alchemist to make medicine for him!

The Breakthrough Pill is a sixth-grade pill.

One tea leaf of enlightenment can be exchanged for more than one.

Right now, there's a leaf steeping in Lin Chaoci's teacup.

There was also a piece of tea soaking in Feng Qing'er's teacup.

In addition, the tea that the two people drank was also quite extraordinary. Lin Chaoci didn't know what the water was called, but judging from the vitality it contained, it undoubtedly had the effect of nourishing the body and repairing hidden injuries. In other words, even without the Enlightenment Tea leaves, just drinking this water would be no less effective than taking a fourth or fifth-grade healing pill. In particular, the ability to repair hidden injuries was quite rare even among healing pills.

It's easy to imagine just how terrifying Feng Qing'er's personal strength would become after she grew up, enjoying such a privileged position.

However, this is different from Feng Qing'er in the original novel.

The Feng Qing'er in the original novel didn't eat this well.

Given that context, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan poured most of the resources allocated to the younger generation into the young clan leader, Jiu Feng. Only the remaining resources were distributed to the next generation, and then to the marginalized figure, Feng Qing'er.

Because Feng Qing'er in the original novel is not the Supreme Dragon Phoenix.

It wasn't even an ancient celestial phoenix.

Their own abilities are relatively average.

The bloodline is indeed pure.

However, it is only relatively pure compared to others; it has not reached the point of reversion to ancestral traits.

In addition, there are the inherent disadvantages of female cultivators.

It's normal to not be valued.

Feng Qing'er is currently the Supreme Dragon Phoenix. While she may not have the same level of comfort and resources as Huang Tian, ​​the clan leader, she is at least on par with him.

It's not hard to predict that the future Feng Qing'er will be different from the Feng Qing'er in the original work, and she should be able to suppress Xiao Yan in the short term.

However, if we look at the later stages of the game...

Xiao Yan is still stronger.

In the original novel, Xiao Yan advanced to the Sovereign Realm at the end.

Don't even mention that the Supreme Dragon Phoenix couldn't figure out how to win.

Even if the Demon Emperor were to be resurrected, he could only manage a bitter smile and sigh, "The Yangtze River's waves push the front waves forward." Although there is no Yangtze River in this world, it is undeniable that each generation is stronger than the last.

Lin Chaoci leisurely ate and drank.

Feng Qing'er sipped her tea while pondering.

Before they knew it, they had arrived at a distance from the Tianmu Mountains. Although they could not see the Tianshan Blood Pool yet, they could see the rolling mountains and the surrounding fleets through the clouds.

"It seems that quite a few forces are interested."

"I just don't know if they're here just for fun or if they have ulterior motives."

Feng Qing'er snapped out of her thoughts.

Looking at those spaceships flying different flags.

He seemed to be deep in thought.
