From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Cheng Xiao and Wang Xia exchanged a glance, both able to see the horror in each other's eyes, but then they remembered the God's "disclaimer" and felt a little strange.

The matter of rescuing Hong Fugui...

For someone like Jiang Liu, who has attained both Taiyi and Daluo levels, this should be a piece of cake, right?

Why bother with a disguise?

Could it be that there is some incredibly powerful "expert" in Japan in this timeline?

Zheng Zha, however, directly voiced his doubts.

Jiang Liu's reply was: "I could easily rescue Hong Fugui, and even sink that tiny place, but then what?"

Faced with this question, Zheng Zha opened his mouth, unsure how to answer.

Jiang Liu, however, gave an answer: "Then, I became the ruler of this world. No one dared to resist, and no one could resist. After all, I could annihilate the planet beneath my feet with a single punch, leaving not even ashes..."

At this point, apart from Chu Xuan and Zhao Yingkong, the rest of the Zhongzhou team were either shocked or pondering, but most of them were terrified by Jiang Liu's strength.

"Isn't this better?"

A handsome young man from the Central Continent team spoke up, "Wealth, status, and honor can all be enjoyed, and the world is at peace."

"Do you know how an ancient farmer cultivating the land in the mountains imagined the life of an emperor?" Jiang Liu didn't answer, but only asked the man.

The latter raised an eyebrow and immediately replied, "I've heard that story before. The farmer thought the emperor's hoe for tilling the fields was made of gold..."

At this point, the young man paused for a moment, then his face darkened, but he remained nonchalant: "Alright, I'm just an ordinary person, I don't have such a high level of understanding and cultivation."

Chu Xuan, Zheng Zha, and the others seemed to be deep in thought, but they didn't believe that Jiang Liu was mocking the boy in their group—he was humorous and witty and would tease others, but as long as you weren't his enemy, you wouldn't deliberately mock him.

"Wrong."

Jiang Liu shook his head at the boy's answer. "While this story does convey the idea that people differ due to different living environments and perspectives, don't you think the story itself is a form of manipulation by the powerful and wealthy towards the so-called ordinary people?"

"Uh······"

For a moment, everyone in the private room, including Lu Jin, Miss Liu, Miss Hong, and Bai Yuekui, was stunned.

Jiang Liu continued, "Farmers in the countryside may not have as broad a perspective as city dwellers, but anyone with a sound mind would know that the emperor used a golden hoe to farm."

A farmer who has spent most of his life working in the fields has indeed never seen an emperor, and he may not even have seen an official in the county town.

But China has never lacked local gentry and bullies since ancient times. They've never seen officials or emperors, so how could they not know what kind of people the "local tyrants" in their own villages and towns were like?

The boy opened his mouth, suspecting that Jiang Liu was sophistry, but upon closer inspection, he realized that Jiang Liu's logic was sound.

It's true that the mountain farmers are ignorant.

But not stupid—

It's true!

"so?"

The boy was puzzled by Jiang Liu's thoughts.

"so."

Jiang Liu replied, “I want to make the fable of ‘the emperor cultivating the land with a golden hoe’ a reality.”

Instantly.

The entire Central Continent team was stunned.

Not surprised.

It was horror!

What the hell kind of bizarre dream is this?

However, Hong Guniang, Bai Yuekui, and Lu Jin understood Jiang Liu's thoughts, and Colonel Chu Xuan, as well as soldiers Cheng Xiao and Wang Xia, also roughly understood the meaning behind Jiang Liu's words.

What did the emperor represent?

Status? Honor? Enjoyment? Privilege? Unity? Responsibility?

All of them.

But throughout history, including those so-called great emperors, none of them have truly shouldered the responsibility.

In other words, no emperor was truly capable of shouldering the responsibility for the entire land.

Because all they asked for was just three words:

The world is ruled by the family.

Apart from family members and relatives connected by blood, everyone else was either a retainer or a servant. If a retainer made a mistake, he could be demoted to a servant, and if a servant made a mistake, he could be dealt with at will.

That's it.

The idea of ​​turning the fable of "the emperor cultivating the land with a golden hoe" into reality signifies that the "emperor" must truly shoulder the responsibility of governing the world and put knowledge into practice.

If it were merely about enjoying the company of concubines in the harem, or simply listening to officials present their reports in the imperial court...

Essentially, it was a serious dereliction of duty by an emperor.

"Of course, I am not a saint. I have a little selfishness. One person's wisdom is ultimately limited. Only by pooling our wisdom can we make further progress in the path of cultivation."

Jiang Liu added, "But those who gather ideas from all sides also need to have accumulated knowledge, rather than simply passing on their own cultivation techniques."

after all--

Without encountering a wise man to impart the secrets, empty words will only leave one weary and tongue parched.

Just like studying rockets.

How can we make rockets go faster?

A person with shallow knowledge, a dislike for learning, and limited experience can only imagine adding a few more rocket boosters.

However, those who are eager to learn and have a long-term vision will think about improving the strength of alloy materials and improving the operating system of flame propulsion, and through continuous experimentation, make it more efficient.

no doubt.

The latter is more tedious, slower to take effect, and less understood by the world.

But if everyone is thinking about 'adding more rocket boosters,' then all of human civilization is doomed.

Chu Xuan agreed wholeheartedly and said to the young man, "Haotian, if you're willing, I can add a few more 'rocket boosters' for you when we get back."

"Humph!"

The boy named Haotian was somewhat indignant at Chu Xuan's mockery.

"Haotian? That name—"

Lu Jin was taken aback and gave a thumbs up. "I know that people in the future aren't as particular about names as they are now, but Haotian's is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it?"

Chapter 1342 A Tacit Understanding

"Like me, he is a genetically modified human in our world, a second generation, whose intelligence and telekinesis have been enhanced at the genetic level, codenamed the Immortal Emperor."

Chu Xuan briefly introduced Haotian's background, and without waiting for Lu Jin to ask further questions, he looked directly at Jiang Liu and asked, "So what is the third purpose?"

“Because of your ‘superior,’ the information about the entire Northeast region is becoming increasingly abstract. This matter will remain confidential for now and cannot be discussed,” Jiang Liu said succinctly.

"???"

Zheng Zha looked completely bewildered. "What abstract information?"

"Let me show you."

The moment he finished speaking, Jiang Liu's eyes blossomed like silver lotuses, reflecting the stars and becoming all-seeing eyes. This made the members of the Central Continent Team feel that everything about them, including their thoughts and ideas, was seen through.

In that instant, they felt as if everything about them was an illusion, utterly meaningless.

Afterwards, two golden rays burst forth from Jiang Liu's eyes, and the silver lotus was tinged with a golden brilliance. This caused Zheng Zha, Chu Xuan, Zhao Yingkong and other fourth-order gene lock experts to tremble, as if even the atomic structure of their bodies and the information of their souls were completely presented to them.

In that instant, they felt as if they were real beings, not some dream or illusion.

"What kind of tactic is this?"

Zheng Zha was terrified. Although there was no harm done, they felt as if all their secrets had been exposed.

"Inner contemplation and outer observation of the world's sounds are the eyes of wisdom, which can see all the information in the universe. Going further, one can cultivate a bit of Dharma nature, not be silent in the realm of 'emptiness,' return to reality, and unify the principle of emptiness and form, thus cultivating the Dharma eye."

After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he withdrew his supernatural powers and added, "But please rest assured, if I were to truly observe the secrets of your past lives, you would not feel any palpitations at all."

"In fact, this kind of ability to observe abstract information in the world requires more than just the cultivation of wisdom and insight."

Red Girl added, "You must be familiar with the methods of sorcerers in our world, right?"

They each have their own methods of observation, enabling them to capture abstract information that cannot be seen with the naked eye. In summary, this can be called opening the third eye.

Some people are born with the ability to see ghosts and spirits, or possess certain special powers—they have a third eye.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Central Continent Team couldn't help but look at Xiao Honglu, a young man who possessed eyes that could see "death energy".

of course.

From a scientific perspective, Xiao Honglu's brain nerve center and cerebral cortex folds are abnormally developed, or even mutated.

"You didn't seem to mention these things during 'Legend of the Gods and Demons'... Was it because you didn't trust me back then?" Xiao Honglu asked thoughtfully.

"No, because I hadn't reached my current level of cultivation back then," Jiang Liu shrugged, telling the truth.

Xiao Honglu: "······"

"How many levels are there in the practice of 'eyes'?"

Zhan Lan thought it was worthwhile to learn about it, as it might help Xiao Honglu develop his so-called "Insightful Eye" in the future. With the added enhancement of her mental scanning ability, his intelligence gathering skills would undoubtedly be greatly improved.

"It is said to be the cultivation of the eyes, but in reality it is the cultivation of the primordial spirit and brain. Your mental energy scanning has helped me a lot in this regard."

Jiang Liu pointed to his own brain, but he didn't hold back, "But if we really want to divide it into realms, it can correspond to the Buddhist Five Eyes theory."

The naked eye, the divine eye, the wisdom eye, the Dharma eye, and the Buddha eye.

Tibetan Buddhism also has a similar classification, but I think the Five Eyes theory of Han Buddhism is more appropriate.

Moreover, one must cultivate wisdom to understand the essence of how the world works, including natural laws and human society, and also participate personally to gain one's own insights.

pity--

Those who are chosen by the God of God are basically people who are disappointed with reality.
