Above Destiny

Chapter 399 Name

Ji Jue was stunned.

"Just wait?"

"You can try to be prepared."

Tong Ting’s expression became serious: “But remember, in addition to this, the more you do, the more mistakes you make, especially don’t try to resist.

You know about self-fulfilling prophecies? Many people try to avoid or change prophecies, but end up actively contributing to their fulfillment.

Besides, predictive dreams are not accurate nine times out of ten. The more you delve into it, the more likely you are to get stuck in a rut.

Even an etheric being like the old man would not take the initiative to spy on the future. Whether he sees it clearly or incorrectly, he will only cause trouble to himself in the end and it will be difficult to get rid of it. "

Therefore, let's wait and see.

Of course, the most important thing is...

"…There's no point in being anxious, is there?"

Tong Ting shrugged: "I see that you are doing well in Taiyi Ring, and it doesn't seem like you can change your allegiance and come to our Ether side.

Besides..."

He paused and looked at the young man in front of him with sympathy: "How do you know that this is not another test and tempering brought down by the embers?"

The embers are raging and have no mercy for the mediocre.

The reason why the trinity of blessings - blood of the furnace, unquenchable firewood and divine spirit - is so precious and rare is that it is almost a sacrifice of the craftsman himself, using himself as material and begging the ashes to bring down the work of destiny.

Hence, suffering continues.

Therefore, the grinding is endless...

The road of craftsmanship itself is full of thorns and bumps. Seeking such a blessing is more like actively increasing the difficulty and showing off the operation, which is asking for trouble.

In this process, mediocre people who overestimate their own abilities will naturally be wiped out, but even the rarest of good materials and beautiful jades will suffer torture.

Hearing this, Ji Jue fell silent.

A sigh.

But that expression didn't look like tiredness or helplessness, but more like... a kind of calmness and indifference that he had long been accustomed to. He even seemed to be vaguely relieved after Tong Ting's reminder.

So reassuring.

Oh, it’s embers. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I thought it was rot trying to steal my eggs!

In the brief silence, Tong Ting sighed silently.

Is it the chosen one?

"Besides that, there is one more thing I want to ask you today."

Ji Jue bowed his head and pleaded, "Please help me."

Tong Ting was stunned for a moment. He had not expected such a gesture. He subconsciously stood up and waited solemnly: "It's okay to talk. There is still some savings at home. There is no need to be so polite."

"what?"

Ji Jue was surprised to find that he seemed to have misunderstood: "No, I just want to ask for some tips and questions about the Way of Ether."

"..."

Tong Ting's expression couldn't help but twitch.

I can't stand it any longer.

You were so serious, you came to my house specially, and even brought two chickens with you, and you bowed your head and begged so humbly... I thought you wanted to kill Xu Chaoxian!

Is this the reason you called everyone out?

"What's wrong?" Ji Jue was puzzled.

"No, nothing, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

Tong Ting sighed in his heart.

For this kind of thing...wouldn't it be better if you just ask Hua Hua? Although her foundation is a little weak, it's no problem for her to help you get started. Besides, she knows a little bit about the Tong family's things.

Oh, it was that Hanhan who asked you to come. That’s okay.

When Tong Ting thought of this, his fists hardened. He finally understood his second brother Shengnian's feelings: I gave you the chance but you were useless!!!

You still have to let your uncle take you to fight...

After thinking about it, he suddenly became full of fighting spirit and rolled up his sleeves.

It's just answering questions and solving problems.

If you want to talk about the essence of the embers, I may not know it, but you can understand the way of ether. As a true disciple of ether, can't I guide you?
Ten minutes later, Tong Ting was silent.

Grass.

Maybe I really can’t bring it with me.
.
The key issue lies in Chunjun.

Ji Jue didn't know much about the Way of Ether, and among the Twelve Supreme Virtues, he was considered a drag...mainly because the compatibility of Ether was indeed not that good.

And Ether didn't kill enough people, so that the Heart Hub and Mirror were higher than Ether!
There is no other way. I can’t just run to the Tong family’s door and say, “Can I borrow your head?”

In comparison, his comprehension and understanding of the essence of ascension is among the best among the best. It can be said that except for the embers of his job, it is second only to the big group... There is no way, the big group has killed too many.

Chunjun, as the nine types that have been passed down by the Ye family for thousands of years and supplemented and improved by successive generations, can be said to be profound and extensive, spanning the two systems of ascension and ether, blending the essence and combining the strengths of both.

Even if all the designs, methods, essences and natures were laid out in front of Ji Jue, it would still be a headache to learn them.

So much so that after trying more than 200 times, not even one was verified.

It’s not like he hasn’t asked the teacher.

Ye Xian said nothing about this, but just held the teacup calmly and glanced at his crying face - where are we now? I have already given you the Han Xiang Jian, and I will not discount the Han Xiang Pian and Shuo Jian at all. I am just following the map.

You understand the reason, you understand the principle...

If you can't figure it out, then try it yourself. Would you stop being a craftsman without a teacher?

torment?

Suffering is normal. This is the pain and training that a craftsman should endure. Not just at this moment, from now on, this kind of pain will accompany you for the rest of your life...

This is just the first time. If you really want to find the answer, that's fine. When you are in despair and want to give up the path of being a craftsman, come and find me.

Apart from this, you have to figure out everything about Chunjun on your own.

Just like that, after giving the increasingly inflated Ji Jue a little difficulty, he crashed into himself and was completely disfigured.

After more than two hundred attempts, Ji Jue was certain that there was absolutely no problem with his technique, timing, and operation.

Then, the problem can only be in thinking and understanding.

"When I was refining it, oh, you don't have to worry about these terms... In the end, I came to the conclusion that the endless purification of the spiritual essence of the Ascension Series and the transformation of the etheric phenomena were out of sync, causing contradictions and conflicts between them, and the purification was insufficient."

Ji Jue asked: "My ability is really limited. After repeated attempts, all efforts have been in vain. So I want to ask, how can I obtain the purest and most blank record of events to carry the sublimation of spiritual essence?"

"..."

Tong Ting was stunned for a long time, "Ah?"

"I mean..." Ji Jue repeated it again.

Tong Ting remained silent, and his expression gradually became serious. On the one hand, he did not understand most of Yu Jin's terms, but on the other hand, he finally understood Ji Jue's needs for ether.

He needed an absolutely pure recording medium to support the sublimation and qualitative change of his spiritual essence.

"impossible."

In response to this, Tong Ting shook his head decisively, "From a realistic perspective, a completely blank record does not exist for you and me."

"what."

Ji Jue was stunned.

You know, recording is something that can be done with ether like paper, with ease and freedom of creation. How is it possible that there is no blank paper?

"You may not understand the situation of the ether, but you are a craftsman, so let me ask you -" Tong Ting asked: "Does the Philosopher's Stone you are pursuing exist?"

"of course……"

Ji Jue fell silent before he could finish his words.

The Philosopher's Stone is the absolutely pure spiritual essence, the ultimate state of purification, and the theoretical foundation of absolutely flawless spiritual essence.

When has it ever existed?
People can only approach purity without limit, just like the chosen ones can get infinitely close to the highest good, but they can never reach the level of "absolute".

"Right? You can get as close to that level as you want, but you can never say it's absolutely pure. The word absolute sometimes means nothingness.

The same is true for the Way of Ether. "

Tong Ting said slowly: "The Way of Ether does cover a wide range of areas and has many applications, but in essence it is all about the observation, invocation, interpretation, and even tampering of history or records.

Simply put - what has happened will happen again, what has been done will be done again.

There is nothing new under the sun.”

"Do you know what is the most important thing for the Ether Chosen One?"

As he spoke, he grabbed a mangosteen from the fruit bowl on the table, lifted it up, and slowly placed it in front of Ji Jue's eyes, "What are you doing at this moment?"

"Observe?" Ji Jue asked.

Tong Ting nodded, "And then?"

"……understand?"

“But what about after observation and before understanding?”

Tong Ting laughed, "You need to understand what you saw first... Tell me, what did you see, Ji Jue?"

Such a solemn and mysterious look made Ji Jue lose confidence.

“Mangosteen?”

"Very good." Tong Ting nodded decisively and told him: "At this moment, you have entered the way of ether."

"..."

Lao Deng, are you kidding me?

Ji Jue stared at him blankly, confused, frowning and thinking carefully. Tong Ting let him think slowly and peeled the mangosteen and started eating it.

It was not until a long time later that Ji Jue's expression changed slightly and he finally understood what he was referring to.

"You mean—'naming'?"

I hold——

Tong Ting paused.

When he looked up, his expression changed, and he felt a kind of regret and sadness, even sorrow, as if he was a poor guy who missed out on a lottery ticket worth five million.

It is a good material after all.

Just one click...

Damn it, why was it picked up by Yu Jin?
No, Ether, please give me some strength! What on earth are you thinking about?
If you had shown your head at the beginning, I would have bitten the bullet and got him back even if it meant offending Taiyi Ring, Huangji and the Security Bureau!
"Yes."

Tong Ting sighed in self-mockery and nodded in agreement.

True transmission is a single sentence, false transmission is ten thousand books. Perhaps ten thousand books come from this, but the crucial core is often the real essence.

【name】.

This is the key point of the Way of Ether, and it is the key point among the keys. Even in comparison, [observation] and [understanding] have to take a back seat.

The etheric eye sees an infinite variety of things, but being able to accurately summarize and grasp a thread among the myriad threads, and being able to keenly perceive a single difference in the endless sea of ​​sand, is the most important thing.

Find the key points and key points at a glance, summarize them in the most accurate way, even name them, and finally lock them down.

This is the basis of all interference.

Everyone has eyes, and anyone can practice, just like [observation]; the entanglement of thousands of threads can be [untied] in nine lifetimes, but if there is no [name], there will be no foundation for all operations of the Way of Ether.

If it were named, one would be able to easily and accurately find the direction and events one needs among the infinitely similar creations in the world.

If you were nameless, who would be able to tell the difference between you, Ji Jue, and a dog?
