Primordial Era: My comprehension is heaven-defying, I create the ability to transform into anything!

Chapter 94 Profound and mysterious, the gateway to all wonders!

"This feels like soil, right? But why is soil in the sky?"

"This is hard, it must be stone, right? But why is stone floating and moving?"

Inside the Mysterious Immortal Island, Jiang Sheng was like a blind man touching an elephant, wandering around, feeling everything, and trying to guess what these things were.

But the more he touched it, the more powerless he felt.

Is a "stone" floating on the water?

"Soil" falling from the sky?

The texture is so abstract, it's like an old woman's foot binding cloth, it's bizarre and gives you the creeps.

He simply couldn't understand what this was.

It's too abstract; my sanity is plummeting.

Not only were their senses of touch and vision distorted, but even their divine sense could not comprehend what they "saw".

He's really gone blind.

In this state, he had no way of looking for anything.

"If only there were a Heavenly Dao! If we didn't know it, we could just calculate it!" Jiang Sheng sighed.

This kind of distorted and mysterious state of mind is truly frustrating.

"We need to think of a way!" Jiang Sheng sat down cross-legged and began to think about how to solve this problem.

Purification by the Twelve-Petaled Pure White Lotus?

Yeah, purification didn't help either.

This profound path is not some kind of evil spirit, but rather a matter of understanding and cognition.

The most effective and lasting solution is naturally to understand the profound mysteries. At that time, everything will be as clear as the clouds parting to reveal the sun, and a new world will be seen.

But then again, if something is mysterious and can be understood, is it still mysterious and mysterious?

The very path to understanding the mysterious is a paradox.

Understanding is cognition.

Without sufficient knowledge, one cannot comprehend the profound mysteries.

This mystery is the profound Dao, and no matter how advanced your understanding is, you cannot comprehend or see through it!

"Since the profound cannot be understood, is it possible to distort one's own perception and thus see all of this clearly?" Jiang Sheng pondered, one thought after another flashing through his mind.

If the profound cannot be understood, then distort your own perception?

I don't understand you; I understand you as something else or something similar.

As it is said: There is something undifferentiated and complete, which existed before heaven and earth. Silent and vast, it stands alone and unchanging, moving in cycles without ceasing. It can be regarded as the mother of heaven and earth. I do not know its name, so I call it the Tao!

I truly don't know what mystery is, and I truly cannot comprehend mystery, but that doesn't stop me from thinking of you as something else. I will force myself to think of you as something else!

For example, Jiang Sheng could think that this mystery is actually an object, or he could think that the mystery is actually a tree.

Whether it's right or wrong doesn't matter.

The important thing is that he needs to have this awareness.

So what if my perception is distorted? So what if my perception is biased?

I don't know what you were originally, but that doesn't stop me from giving you something.

Everything only gains meaning when others assign it to it.

Just like the Tao Te Ching mentions, there is something that existed before heaven and earth, but I don't know what it is, so I call it "Tao"!

This is essentially about turning what you don't know into what you know, then understanding it, recognizing it, and finally knowing what it truly is!

"Distorting cognition! Observing it from the side, understanding it... this could be called... a cognitive filter?" Jiang Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

At the same time, a notification sound rang in his mind...

[You have gained profound insight into cognition and understanding, realizing the essence of cognition and comprehension; you have overcome the obstacle of being "blinded by a leaf"!]

[A leaf before the eyes: distorted perception, clouded vision, all that is seen and felt is illusion! All that is thought and contemplated is delusion!]

A leaf can block the view!

It's a very simple, low-level spell.

This is actually similar to an illusion, and even some minor immortals and celestial beings can perform this kind of minor illusion.

This is hardly a remarkable technique.

But at this moment, Jiang Sheng smiled.

That's exactly what he wanted—a minor technique that could obscure true vision and cloud perception.

"Blinded by a leaf..."

He murmured to himself, and the next second, he cast a spell on himself.

In an instant, Jiang Sheng felt that everything had changed.

As far as the eye can see, those indescribable things are gradually fading away.

Everything around him gradually became something he could understand.

The wind that blows naturally between heaven and earth, the river that flows beside us.

That refreshing spring, that fragrant grass and trees!

Everything became familiar to him, became what he knew!

It wasn't that he understood the profound mystery, but rather that he distorted his perception, turning the profound mystery into what he knew.

"So this is what the Mysterious Immortal Island is like!" Jiang Sheng looked around at everything and was filled with emotion.

Green hills and cypress trees, lush and verdant.

The world was filled with an endless, rich innate spiritual energy...

The river flows with a clear, spiritual spring...

"Hmm...it feels so familiar..." Jiang Sheng muttered to himself, then suddenly realized and chuckled.

Are you not familiar with it?

Aren't these all things he's seen before?

He was blinded by a leaf, and everything around him became what he perceived it to be.

It would be strange if I wasn't familiar with it.

This is like a dream!

No matter how bizarre your dreams are, they are at least things you have experienced or seen, which is why they appear in your dreams.

Because everything in your dream is everything you know.

It's beyond your comprehension; you wouldn't even have that concept.

Jiang Sheng is dreaming right now.

He slowly squatted down and gently touched the soil on the ground.

However, the texture was very soft, unlike soil; it had a cotton-like feel to it.

A leaf can blind him; it obscures his vision.

His sense of touch is still connected to the real outside world...

"Tsk, this is outrageous. Is this what soil feels like? Then what about those floating stones I saw earlier...?"

As he spoke, Jiang Sheng turned his head again and looked at the place where he had picked up the "stone" earlier.

Yes, that's a stream.

Fallen leaves drift down the stream from time to time.

The "stone" he touched earlier was actually a fallen leaf!

Jiang Sheng gently picked up a leaf, playing with the hard, stone-like leaf in his hand, feeling somewhat sentimental.

"What will happen if I go out?" Jiang Shengxin wondered, and with a flicker of his body, he left the Mysterious Immortal Island. He then removed the leaf that had been obscured from his vision and looked at the leaf in his hand again…

"The leaf is still a leaf, which means the problem isn't here, but rather due to the mysterious shroud?" Jiang Sheng looked at the leaf in his hand, which was still a leaf. In fact, this time, even the feel of it had changed; it truly felt like a leaf.

"I see……"

Jiang Sheng nodded, re-enhanced his vision with the One Leaf Blinding Technique, and took a step forward, once again entering the Mysterious Immortal Island!

He explored and searched all the way.

Following the drifting spiritual energy, he finally stood in the very center of the Mysterious Immortal Island, atop its highest peak.

Here, he finally discovered the anomaly.

Because, on this hilltop, he saw a very familiar door!

Most importantly, this door is a security door!

It's still the kind of titanium alloy security door with an electronic combination lock!

Jiang Sheng's lips twitched.

The appearance of this thing in the primordial world is absolutely outrageous!

However, Jiang Sheng knew that this was actually due to being blinded by a single leaf.

The thing in front of him was something Jiang Sheng had never seen in the prehistoric world. So, blinded by his limited perspective, he passively turned it into something familiar to him, namely his home's security door!

With a thought, the electronic combination lock security door transformed into an ancient stone archway!

Whether a door has a door panel or not is not important; a door frame is all that matters.

Does that mean a round-arched gate isn't a gate? Or a memorial archway gate isn't a gate?

The stone archway actually fits the prehistoric setting.

"It's a door!" Jiang Sheng exclaimed in surprise.

Although he modified the archway himself, it was supposed to look like a gate, which is why it manifested the shape of a gate!

Without even thinking, he knew that this door must be the source of the profound Dao of this Mysterious Immortal Island.

This door is the most precious treasure of the Mysterious Immortal Island.

Just like the twelve-petaled white lotuses that purify the world on the purification island.

There is a door on the Mysterious Immortal Island!

Mysterious, mysterious, mysterious beyond mystery, wonderful beyond wonder!

As the saying goes, "The mystery is the gateway to all wonders!"

Is this thing the gateway to all wonders?

Jiang Sheng was taken aback, then suddenly looked up at the plaque on the stone archway!

Clearly visible, the four characters "Gate of All Wonders" appeared as if carved by divine patterns, gradually revealing themselves.
