Chapter 436 Beyond Knowledge
Obstacles of knowledge and views.

Ji Jue was lost in thought for a moment, feeling confused and speechless.

“It seems to be a term from some religion before the Age of Chaos?”

Ji Jue’s history is not good: “According to your understanding, it should mean that the more you know, the more confused you will be, and it will be difficult to touch the essence of things?”

“Indeed, that is not wrong, but what I am referring to is something completely different.”

Ye Xian weighed the disc in his hand and threw it on the table casually. “Seventy years after the destruction of the Eternal Empire, in the early days of the establishment of the Federation and the Empire, when all parties were fighting each other to the death, under the coordination of the first generation of Heavenly Governor and Earth Guardian, they rarely joined forces to complete the revision covering the entire world.

Many heart hubs and etheric celestial beings participated in it, using many texts, stories, music, paintings and other works as carriers. After expending many blessings, they constructed a meme that circulated among all existing souls, adding a tiny corner to the complex subconscious.

It doesn’t matter whether you call it a virus or a vaccine, its name is called ‘the barrier of knowledge and perception’, which erects a barrier between what the human mind sees and what it knows.”

“this one?”

Ji Jue subconsciously looked down at the disc and was so shocked that he lost his voice.

He was not shocked by such a strange existence, but also horrified that his vision was so short-sighted – why did it look like a disc no matter how he looked at it, and he couldn’t see anything strange?
Ye Xian glanced at him as if he was a fool.

“It has been more than 400 years since the knowledge and perception barrier was completed. During these 400 years, its power has been passed down through countless writings, words, music, and even spiritual essence and genetic inheritance, and has long been omnipresent.

You know, the hints of the Heart Pivot can even be conveyed through the pauses in the tone of voice, and the revisions of the Ether can come out of nothing, so how could it be so insignificant?
This disc is just a catalyst used to temporarily enhance the effect.”

She paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, “I guess, as a chosen one who has ‘self-awakened’ among ordinary people, you have also experienced this before, right?”

Ji Jue understood: “You mean, the separation between the chosen ones and ordinary people?”

Before the call of the Chosen One, Ji Jue had never thought that he would become the Chosen One one day, and he had even rarely heard of any similar news.

But after pushing open that door, all the bizarre things in the world of the Chosen One quickly came upon us.

Even now, he has not adapted to this change.

But when looking back, it feels strange – the chosen ones and ordinary people clearly live in the same world, and are inextricably linked to each other, but at the same time, they are clearly separated.

This is the so-called intellectual disability.

It is invisible and intangible, just like a wall that divides the two worlds into two.

Even if this wall is not airtight, you can still make a hole in it by just kicking it hard a few times.

However, this kind of suggestion, which acts on the most basic level of ordinary people’s consciousness, will make people subconsciously avoid these things, or even become accustomed to them without realizing it.

Even if you know some of the details, you will subconsciously ignore them.

“Is this to prevent the Chosen One from disrupting the world?”

Ji Jue was puzzled: “But is it really necessary?”

The world within the city is stable with the Security Bureau in control, so there won’t be any problems.

But in the wild chaos outside the city, where is the order and rules? Moreover, these are thousands of independent islands in the endless sea within the Federation.

Not to mention the ongoing war in Middle-earth… the existence of the Chosen One is no secret at all.

Moreover, how can unilaterally restricting the cognition of ordinary people stop the Chosen One from acting recklessly?

“That’s because that’s not the point, of course.”

Ye Xian sighed mockingly, “The isolation and stability between the Chosen Ones and ordinary people is just one of its incidental functions. Its real focus is not to hide the existence of the Chosen Ones, but something more basic…”

At that moment, the falling of sand in the hourglass suddenly accelerated, and the ticking sound became more frequent and so harsh that it seemed to cover up her words.

In this “secret room” outside the perception barrier, Ye Xian said slowly:
“——Don’t let the greatest good and great evil be easily known to the world!”

Snapped!
At that moment, one third of the sand in the hourglass suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Ji Jue was stunned, but finally he understood.

This is the real obstacle to knowledge and understanding.

Hide the existence of supreme good and great evil, erect invisible high walls and barriers to cover the entire world, isolate the soul from the worldly connection, and thus maintain the stability of the present world to the greatest extent possible.

Even though there are still countless ways to bypass its existence, barriers and walls always exist, covering the sky and the abyss.

From then on, both the highest good and the greatest evil disappeared.

“Being able to grasp the essence of Chunjun means that you have a profound understanding of the Way of Ether. You should understand the importance of ‘knowing’, ‘seeing’ and ‘naming’.”

Ye Xian said slowly: “If you can see it, you can know it. If you can know it, you can feel it. In any moment when the intellect and the soul perceive it, all that remains is the distance.”

Ascension and transformation are the nature of all spiritual intelligence, so how can it be stopped?
Sometimes, ignorance is a good thing.

Instead, it acts like an antibody, creating a barrier between ordinary people and great evil.

You know, both the greatest good and the greatest evil have power…

But if ordinary people knew, what would they choose?
Even in the absence of great goodness or great evil, there are so many people who become rich overnight, and people in high positions are not uncommon. But why are villains who indulge in wine and women and do whatever they want so often, while there are so few good people who build bridges and roads and benefit the world?
Not to mention the chosen ones, are all the celestial beings also the embodiment of virtue?

After all, heroes like Mr. Tao who are willing to sacrifice their lives are still a minority.

It is not difficult to imagine that once everyone can feel the existence of the greatest good and the greatest evil… at that time, which side will have more people on, the side of those who turn to the greatest good and those who embrace the greatest evil?
If you want to achieve something, you cannot lack any of the following: time, opportunity, resources, investment, and even determination. However, it is too easy to destroy something.

Behind the transformation is the abyss, and falling is much easier than rising.

There are too many people who are desperate, resentful, and frustrated.

If you don’t have any gaming experience…

Then, no one else should have it either!
It can be predicted that if the existence of the great evil is known to everyone, then in a few years, it is likely that the evil cult will be the ones sitting in the middle of the city to hold meetings.

At that time, which one is right?
What is evil?
Ji Jue thought silently for a long time, and finally couldn’t help asking: “It’s ok to cut off the great evil, why do you have to block the great good as well?”

Could it be that it is really the same as what that old bastard Tianlu hinted to me?
The Greatest Good and the Greatest Evil…

“…”

Ye Xian was silent for a moment and looked at him, as if she vaguely understood his unspoken guess, but she did not confirm or deny it.

But, with a mocking smile: “Aren’t there more disasters caused by the best in the world today?”

Ji Jue was speechless, yet hesitant to speak.

“I understand.”

Ye Xian sighed softly, as if she had suddenly found Ji Jue’s blind spot and saw the problem: “You are still too young.”

“What does this have to do with youth?” Ji Jue was puzzled.

“It has nothing to do with youth but age. Because you are too young, you will habitually take everything you are familiar with for granted. Just like you don’t feel that there is anything wrong with the sound effects and songs in the supermarket welcome on this disc, because you are used to it.”

Ye Xian suddenly asked: “What does sea water taste like?” “Uh…”

Ji Jue was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he answered: “Salty?”

“But I want to tell you that the sea water is originally fresh?”

Ye Xian sighed softly, “At the end of the Chaos Age, in the early days of the Eternal Empire, someone killed a giant snake in the sea. The snake was still alive, and repeatedly caused tidal waves until the snake’s corpse was cursed and turned into salt. From then on, all the seas were salty.”

In the silence, Ji Jue was hesitant to speak, unable to believe it.

Teacher, are you really kidding me?
But before he could reply, Ye Xian asked again: “What color is fire?”

“Well… generally speaking, it should be red, right? Yellow and blue are also available?”

Ji Jue had no problem answering this kind of physics question. He could even discuss the temperature changes and color of flames in detail.

“What if I were to tell you that fire was originally pure white?”

“Ah?” Ji Jue was stunned again.

“In the early days of the Chaos Age, the ‘Fire Thief’ among the kings wanted to monopolize the remaining embers, so he searched the world for fire, and the world fell into a long night for 51 years.

The end result is that the fire thief plays with fire and gets burned.

From that time on, the fire was red because it contained blood.”

“One hundred and ten years after the Fire Thief was burned in the fire, the Web Weaver among the Kings intended to bring the entire world under his own script and control, thus transcending destiny.

In the end, he could not bear the weight of the fate of the world and ended up trapped in his own trap…”

“This is the origin of the phrases “playing with fire and getting burned” and “playing with fire and getting caught in a trap”. They all come from the deaths of the two Chaos Kings. Haha.

At that time, the great evil had not yet been committed. Wasn’t it the supreme good that led to all this?
On the first day of your initiation, I remember Ah Chun told you that the highest good is never shaken by people’s likes and dislikes, right?”

Ye Xian blew a sip of the steam rising from the cup, unable to hide his mockery: “Not to mention the last emperor of the Eternal Empire, who used all the national strength to want to use Tianyuan to control Shangshan and control everything…

But what was the earlier world like?

Have you ever seen it?

Haizhou is just a corner of the Federation. When you go out, does it mean you have seen the entire Federation? Not to mention the countless islands in the endless sea outside the Federation, the 19 underground and sky cities of the Empire, and even Middle-earth…

That’s why I’m asking you to go out.

Sitting in a workshop, even if you are lucky enough to become a master, you are just a frog in a well.

If you ask me, your current idea of ​​taking everything for granted is the greatest arrogance!

Even looking at the entire history, everything you are accustomed to is nothing but a mirage, a dream, a bubble, a blip in the rare four hundred years of peace.

Who can guarantee that one day, after the earth breaks apart, this common sense will continue to exist?”

“You have only taken a few steps on the road of being a craftsman, but it is too early for you to want to peek into the scenery at the top.

It is also too ambitious. “

Ye Xian shook her head and finally sighed: “Just move forward, Ji Jue, there are still long ups and downs and beautiful scenery waiting for you behind.”

In the silence, Ji Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lowered his head.

I felt the long-lost frustration and regret.

For some reason, I felt a little more relaxed, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off my shoulders – or perhaps it was because of the teacher’s wake-up call that I realized how insignificant I was and let go of the arrogance and complacency that had once existed in my heart.

It’s just a long road. Now that we have reached the starting point, we can naturally look forward to the future.

However, recalling the hints and words from Tianlu Laodeng before, and now seeing the ‘obstacle of knowledge and perception’ appearing in front of him in the form of a small disc, his thoughts could not help but surge.

Is this the lock?

No, it’s more than that, right? But it should be considered part of the lock…

Lock.

“But what is a lock?”

Amidst his scattered thoughts, Ji Jue talked to himself and whispered softly.

The moment he heard the doubtful whisper, Ye Xian’s face changed slightly and he stood up subconsciously.

Then, Ji Jue felt it – within the field of the hourglass at this moment, the moment his words came out of his mouth, it seemed that the meaning of the nothingness seemed to change slightly, and along with his consciousness, it faintly pointed to a certain huge monster.

It’s like having some insight.

And that magnificent, vast and surging majestic rhythm appeared in the consciousness in an instant, and violent shocks rose from the void and rolled over!

boom!
Even Ji Jue didn’t have time to react. His thoughts were suddenly cut off. His vision went dark and he could only hear a series of hissing sounds like chemicals reacting.

In the hourglass, the light was boiling, rolling and shaking violently.

Cracks quickly appeared on the container and body of the hourglass, as if it would explode completely in the next moment.

Fortunately, Ye Xian reacted promptly, took over, and then suppressed it forcefully. Only a crackling sound was heard in the study, and the ancient scrolls shattered and turned into dust.

Most of the sand in the hourglass evaporated instantly, leaving only a little. But even the remaining sand was rapidly dissipating…

From beginning to end, Ji Jue was not able to feel the full grandeur of the thing, nor did he notice this tiny spy, and he didn’t even react at all.

What nearly swallowed him up was nothing more than the natural aftermath of the movement!
However, what made Ji Jue even more horrified was… Ye Xian’s expression.

Angry and annoyed.

Looking down at the few remaining Silent Crystals in the hourglass, how could he not understand what had just happened?
If I were not cautious enough and habitually took out the loophole of silence when talking about secrets, the shielding and hiding of the lock in the obstacle of knowledge and views would almost be disturbed!
At this moment, she raised her head expressionlessly and looked towards Ji Jue.

Ji Jue, feeling as if he had caused some trouble, immediately shrank his head subconsciously, smiled ingratiatingly, and remained silent.

But that gaze was not directed at Ji Jue, but at a certain bastard who secretly dug a trap for his good student who had helped him escape from the sect, and then walked away with a smile…

Well, I’m really looking forward to it. What will her expression be when she receives this gift?

It must be fun, right?

“I should have followed Jian Yuan and stabbed him twice…”

After a long while, Ye Xian finally managed to squeeze out a voice from between his teeth: “Why hasn’t that old bastard died yet?”

After all, it’s still Jianyuan who is not good enough!

But it doesn’t matter, my sword is not at a disadvantage!
