23. Sen Dao Power and Game System
In later generations, when Bai Ye watched those immortal heroes, he had thought more than once: what kind of feeling is it to cultivate the Tao?
No matter which one is written, during the cultivation, the whole body is floating, the mouth and tongue are producing saliva, the spirit and soul are comfortable, often making people indulge in it, and a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
This description is indeed enviable. But no matter how much he yearned for it, Bai Ye knew that he would never be able to experience this mystical feeling - in a technological society, who cultivates the Tao?
He has now crossed over to the Desolate Era, and should have had the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful place, but still has no chance - his current strength is all brought by the game system, he himself does not have any power at all! Without the game system, he is nothing! To be honest, he is actually the weakest of the human race.
So even if it's an ordinary person, they may also experience the subtlety of cultivation according to Fuxi's transmitted method, but Bai Ye still hasn't had any feeling at all!
But it's different now!
After Laozi made his move and guided the Golden Lotus into Baiye's body, Baiye sank into a strange state. His spirit drifted aimlessly, his true soul was hazy and confused, as if he had grasped the ultimate truth, yet seemed even more bewildered...
This wonderful feeling was something that White Night had never experienced before. He became completely absorbed in it, forgetting his own identity, forgetting his purpose, and even forgetting what he had been doing beforehand, only wanting to continue on in this comfortable state.
Unfortunately, this is impossible.
When Bai Ye woke up three days later, his first reaction was: What a pity!
"No wonder those immortals can survive in the dull stone caves, and cultivate for hundreds or thousands of years. This feeling is simply more enjoyable than taking drugs! Although I don't know what it's like to take drugs."
After teasing myself for a while, I calmed down and took a short rest, only then was I able to completely pull my mind back from that state of infatuation.
With a glance around, he found himself in an earthen house, lying on the bed, and White Night quickly understood his situation.
"It seems I fainted again during the ascension and was carried back!" White Night couldn't help but cry and laugh, not daring to imagine her current reputation among humans, and shifted her attention to the system message in front of her.
[System Message: You have received the complete "Tao Te Ching" from the Sage Laozi, and with his assistance, you successfully broke through your rank and were promoted to a True Immortal!]
System Message: Your level has been upgraded to 10.
Looking at the information panel's 【Level: 10——True Immortal】, Bai Ye couldn't help but laugh from the heart.
"The distinction between immortals and mortals is finally over."
Immortals and mortals are vastly different, a fact that was previously speculated but now seems especially true!
Her toes lightly touched, and her body suddenly rose into the air, floating in mid-air!
Excitedly flipping his body in mid-air, Bai Ye couldn't help but exclaim: "Flying through the air, indeed it's a divine being's technique!"
Before the 10th level, Bai Ye's overall physical strength growth was manifested in a physical way: increased power, increased speed, accelerated reaction... Although it is indeed getting stronger and stronger as a whole, there has been no fundamental change, and it is far from the true immortal's technique.
And successfully jumping into the 10th level, becoming a true immortal rank, is just the beginning of the Immortal Path!
After using several immortal techniques in succession, Bai Ye finally sat back on the earth bed, gathered his smile and calmed down.
The appearance of the true immortal's power only brought him a moment of joy. After careful consideration, he became even more confused.
What is his true strength after all? What is the relationship between the power of the vast wilderness and the game system?
The state of meditation that had captivated him earlier, as well as his current divine powers, were undoubtedly the orthodox cultivation powers of the Primordial Chaos! If Bai Ye had been alone in crossing over to the Primordial Chaos, relying on this orthodox power would have been no problem at all; he might even be celebrating a breakthrough by now.
It's not just Bai Ye! He also has a game system on him!
The benefits of the game system have been fully proven in the past decade! Similarly, the power brought by the game system is undoubtedly more suitable for Bai Ye's growth!
But the problem is that the power module of the game system is very vague!
Bai Ye had this doubt during his first hunt, the system's various modules and data were very realistic and perfectly combined with Hong Huang! Whether it was the task module divided into three types of tasks or the social module's specific relationships, they were all extremely realistic! But only the power module was very vague!
Every otaku knows that in a game system, the most important thing is combat data. To say nothing of attack power and defense power, aren't these extremely important data that even affect the entire character's ability?
But his system doesn't have these combat data!
"One is purely relying on strength, one is uniquely without strength…… Is it because the combat data of the Primordial Chaos cannot be calculated?" Bai Ye made a judgment that was as close to the truth as possible: "Because it's impossible to perfectly represent complex battles with data, so they simply don't care?"
To be honest, combat data is indeed the most complex part of a game, especially when it comes to simulating real-world combat. It's not something that can be planned or simulated with rigid data, especially in a vast and boundless world like Honghuang with extremely high levels of power!
Imagine that as the level of White Night increases, the system even needs to perform data calculations on Pangu's power to open up the sky and earth... This level of analysis has already exceeded White Night's imagination!
"But that's no excuse! I crossed over to the Desolate Era, and this system is probably also useless. From this perspective, the system's power can't be underestimated!" Bai Ye thought more and more anxiously: "Damn it! What's going on here?!"
If there were only one of the two powers, Bai Ye would be very happy. But now, there is not only the power of the Hong Huang Xian Dao, but also many auxiliary modules of the system... This situation has already exceeded the range that Bai Ye can handle at present!
Finally, he who was at his wit's end and didn't care to continue, directly cut through the mess: "Who cares what's going on, as long as it's useful! Isn't there a saying that no matter if it's a black cat or white cat, a good cat is one that can catch mice!"
"Frontline combat relies on Xian Dao power! While the game system is an auxiliary tool for the rapid growth of Xian Dao power, it's the greatest guarantee!"
"How many of those cultivators who turned to dust in the great calamities? They all fell before they could grow up, due to various reasons, either because of karma or cause and effect!"
"But I'm different!" Bai Ye laughed extremely confidently: "With the system's assistance, I will definitely be able to grow up without those powerful beings noticing! By the time they react, I will have thoroughly surpassed them!"
After making a decision, Bai Ye was finally able to put down his doubts and shift his attention back to the system messages with a clearer mind.
[System Message: You have received the complete "Tao Te Ching" from Lao Tzu. Your cultivation speed in Enlightenment Mode has been greatly increased, and your current speed is extremely rare!]
[System Message: You have obtained Lao Tzu's authentic scripture "Tao Te Ching" and gained insight into many Taoist magical arts and immortal spells!]
