Chapter 317 Martial Will, Absolute Rigidity

……

Wu Wen returned to the valley.

He then ordered that Hua Nu and Cai Tong be summoned to an audience.

"Young Master, you've emerged from seclusion!" the two women exclaimed in unison, their eyes filled with joy.

"Hmm!" Wu Wen nodded slightly, his expression solemn and serious. "During this seclusion, I have deeply improved and sublimated the 'Radiant Martial Arts' system."

Cai Tong, although your current training method is not problematic, it harbors a very critical hidden danger. If it is not resolved, it may affect your future path in martial arts.

Now, I will impart to you the perfected cultivation method.

After speaking, Wu Wen raised his hand, his fingertips glowing softly, and gently touched Cai Tong's brow.

He passed on to Cai Tong the secret method he had developed during his seclusion, which involved countless deductions and verifications, to solve the problem of "solidification"—the Secret Method of Martial Will.

After receiving the inheritance, Cai Tong looked completely bewildered.

Because the content of the inheritance was too complex, it was like a book written in heaven to her, and she could not understand it at all.

Wu Wen had anticipated this reaction from the colored contact lenses, so he offered a simple explanation:

"Absolute will is the will of martial arts!"

"Refining one's martial will is essentially injecting negative entropy into oneself, thereby breaking through conventional cultivation constraints!"

"First, you need to study open systems theory in depth and integrate its essence into your practice. Completing the energy gradient balance practice is a crucial step."

In this process, you must learn to precisely regulate the local energy flow, allowing the Qi to circulate orderly within the body along a specific trajectory.

"Next comes the ordering of conscious information."

"This step requires you to master the method of calculating information entropy."

"The higher the uncertainty of an event, the more unknown variables there are, the greater the amount of information required, and the greater the corresponding entropy value."

The method for calculating information entropy is key to quantifying this uncertainty in information.

At this point, Wu Wen paused, then explained the core formula for calculating information entropy in a simple yet rigorous manner:

"The calculation of information entropy follows a specific mathematical logic of martial arts."

Find the exact probability of each event from the first event to the nth event, and then choose the logarithmic base.

In martial arts numerology, the value is generally 2, because it aligns with the concepts of duality and yin-yang balance in martial arts.

Calculate the logarithm of this probability, and then sum the results for each event to obtain the information entropy.

This value allows you to clearly perceive the level of confusion in your own consciousness, enabling you to make targeted adjustments.

Finally, information is cleaned up through the erasure effect, thus reducing information entropy.

Specifically, it utilizes the principle of quantum erasure, which in martial arts training is equivalent to removing solidified information from the body like impurities.

At the same time, the cognitive framework is reconstructed, transforming disordered cognition into an ordered structure.

This is like forging a sharp sword of will, transforming chaotic thoughts into a sharp blade, thus solving the problem of 'rigidity'.
......"

After listening to Wu Wen's brief explanation, Cai Tong not only didn't understand, but her eyes became even more confused.

"never mind!"

Wu Wen shook his head slightly.

"Go and comprehend it in the virtual realm. I will grant you a hundredfold increase in computing power to aid you!"

"Thank you, young master!" Cai Tong said gratefully.

"Young Master, what about me?" Hua Nu asked Wu Wen with an expectant look on her face.

“You… should cultivate properly. Although you and Cai Tong cultivate in different ways, she is constantly breaking through, while you haven’t made any progress at all. It’s obvious that you’ve been slacking off in your cultivation,” Wu Wen criticized.

"Oh!" Hua Nu lowered her head slightly, her face showing shame.

after that.

Wu Wen arrived at the stone chamber and continued to immerse himself in contemplation.

They are exploring a crystallization cultivation method that involves consciousness collapse and entropy reduction compensation, forcibly reducing their own entropy value, so that their physical body can be transformed from a "loose organic state" into an "absolutely ordered crystalline state".

The results of this cultivation method are absolutely rigid.

Wu Wen had already discovered this when he used entropy reduction freezing to create a 'rail' capable of supersonic movement.

It is absolutely rigid, but it can be further developed.

The absolute rigidity brought about by 'entropy reduction freezing' is far more than just a simple increase in speed. From a logical analysis perspective, this definitely touches upon the most profound and mysterious realm of spacetime.

……

Just as Wu Wen was delving deeper into the mystery.

the other side.

In Chang'an, Li Shimin made another big move.

He actually wants to build a towering Dharma image, thirty-three zhang tall, in Chang'an City, corresponding to the thirty-three layers of the Heaven and Earth Golden Body Dharma Image!
According to Li Shimin, now that he is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, possessing a vast territory and receiving tribute from all nations, only by building a towering statue that reaches the heavens a hundred meters high can he awe all nations and gain the respect of all people.

So that from then on, anyone who came to Chang'an would see his great and lofty figure at first glance, inspiring awe and reverence in their hearts, making him the true emperor in everyone's eyes.

However, his bizarre idea was met with opposition from everyone in the court as soon as it was put forward.

The atmosphere at the court assembly was so heavy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

Wei Zheng took the lead, stepping out of the ranks first. After bowing respectfully to Li Shimin, he straightened his back, his gaze piercing as he stared directly at Li Shimin. His words were earnest and intense, his posture displaying a tragic grandeur, as if he were willing to die for his cause.

"Your Majesty, such a move to establish a supreme Dharma is truly a waste of resources and manpower!"

Although the Tang Dynasty is now growing stronger, there are still undercurrents of war on the borders and many hidden dangers. The people's livelihood at home also needs strong support.

Constructing such a massive project would require enormous human, material, and financial resources, potentially increasing the burden on the people and shaking the foundations of the nation!
If this continues, the people will be filled with resentment, and how can the foundation of our Tang Dynasty's golden age remain secure?

Li Shimin frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, but he did not get angry. He simply took a deep breath and patiently explained:
"I am aware of what the Duke of Zheng said."

But my purpose in doing this is to demonstrate the majesty of my Great Tang Dynasty, so that when all nations come to pay tribute, they can feel the strength and inviolability of my Great Tang Dynasty.

Although the Tang Dynasty now enjoys a certain prestige, it still needs a more impactful symbol to truly win the submission of all nations.

This is a long-term strategy, and it will play an immeasurable role in consolidating the position of our Great Tang Dynasty.

However, Wei Zheng did not back down an inch. His expression was resolute as he continued to argue his case logically:

"Your Majesty, majesty is not something that can be demonstrated by tall buildings."

True majesty lies in Your Majesty's benevolent rule, in the prosperity of our Great Tang Dynasty, and in the peace and happiness of our people.

If the construction of this heavenly image causes hardship for the people, even if it is completed, it will be nothing more than an empty shell and will not win the genuine respect of the people!
If the people do not feel reverence and love for this divine image, then it is nothing more than a cold stone.

In the imperial court, the ministers echoed Wei Zheng's words, and for a time, voices of opposition rose and fell, echoing in the court like a surging tide.

Seeing the opposition from the entire court, Li Shimin felt a surge of displeasure rising within him, and immediately rebuked them sternly:
"This matter is a matter for me to decide unilaterally, and there is no room for further discussion! Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"

The voice boomed like a great bell in the imperial court.

Wei Zheng, however, was not afraid at all. He knelt on the ground, his posture upright as a pine tree, and argued forcefully and logically:

"Your Majesty, even if you kill me, I will risk my life to remonstrate with you."

This matter concerns the safety of the Tang Dynasty and the survival of its people; I cannot stand idly by!

"Then go to die!"

Li Shimin glared angrily and roared.

"Golden Palace Guards!"

At Li Shimin's command, the guards who were standing outside the hall holding golden hammers immediately entered the hall with cold expressions. The golden hammers gleamed coldly in the sunlight, as if they were about to fall at any moment.

"His Majesty!"

At this moment, Cheng Yaojin, who was always somewhat tactful and at odds with Wei Zheng, immediately rushed out and blocked Wei Zheng's way like an iron tower.

"Although Duke Zheng's words were somewhat offensive, he was speaking out for Your Majesty's sake and for the sake of the Tang Dynasty. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness."

After hearing Cheng Yaojin's words, Li Shimin calmed down a bit. He hadn't really intended to kill Wei Zheng. He took a deep breath, then waved to the guards who had come in, signaling them to leave.

Then, Li Shimin swept his gaze across the assembled officials with an air of authority and indifference. His eyes were like sharp swords, sending a chill down everyone's spine.

Then, he turned and left, leaving behind only a resolute silhouette.

Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to Wei Zheng with a smile, and said:

"Duke of Zheng, you should thank me for saving your life this time. If it weren't for me, you would be in danger today."

"Hmph!" Wei Zheng snorted coldly, his expression resolute, and said, "Even if I fail this time, I will continue to offer my advice. Even if His Majesty really wants to kill me, I am not afraid. For the sake of the Tang Dynasty and the people, I will die without regret."

"Speak," Wei Zheng said, rising and striding away from the court.

Cheng Yaojin also fell into deep thought. He scratched his head and muttered to himself:
"I also sense that His Majesty is somewhat different today. Normally, His Majesty would never do something so wasteful and burdensome to the people. What's wrong with His Majesty now? Is there some hidden reason behind this?"
