Divine Calculation
Just when everyone was worried, a figure suddenly appeared in the middle of the training ground. It was Zhong Ling. She was dressed in casual clothes, with a faint smile in her eyes.
"Comrade Zhong Ling!" Qiao Jianmin was the first to react. He was startled and hurried forward.
Ji Anbang and the five others also stopped all their actions and looked over in unison.
Seeing that it was Zhong Ling, the six of them stood up straight and gave a standard military salute in unison, shouting loudly, "Hello, senior!"
Zhong Ling waved her hand, signaling them to be more casual.
"How does it feel?" she asked.
Ji Anbang's old face flushed crimson, and he coughed a little embarrassedly: "Report to the senior, I feel... full of power, but the spiritual power is disobedient, like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, and it won't listen to my command."
"It's not that it's disobedient." Zhong Ling walked up to him, stretched out her finger, and lightly touched the deformed enamel pot. The concave fingerprint slowly recovered and returned to its original smooth surface.
Everyone present was shocked. This was much more difficult than flattening it. It required a strong control over spiritual power!
"You have learned to release, but you don't know how to take it in. Entering the spiritual energy into the body is only the first step."
"Your power comes from spiritual energy, but it is your spiritual consciousness that drives the spiritual energy."
As Zhong Ling spoke, she casually picked a leaf from the tree next to her.
"Do you think that spiritual consciousness is an illusory thought?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the green leaf in Zhong Ling's hand suddenly took on a faint metallic luster, and the edge became sharp.
She waved her hand casually, and with a sound of breaking through the air, the leaf directly sank into the wooden stake not far away, with only a little bit of the head exposed outside.
Everyone gasped when they saw this.
But this was not the end. Zhong Ling moved her five fingers slightly, and the blade flew out and flew towards another wooden stake, but it did not cut into the stake. Instead, it made a dull sound, just like a steel plate hitting a wooden stake.
An ordinary leaf becomes soft or tough in her hands, and how it changes depends entirely on her thoughts.
Zhong Ling spread out her hands, and the leaf returned to her palm, returning to its original shape.
"Spiritual energy is water, and spiritual consciousness is the boat. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Your spiritual consciousness is like a stick; it can only stir a pool of water, but it cannot control every drop of it."
Ji Anbang and the other six were fascinated by what they heard. "Then... Senior, how should we cultivate our spiritual consciousness?" Ji Anbang couldn't help but ask.
Zhong Ling smiled slightly. She didn't answer, but just clapped her hands lightly.
"Buzz—"
After a soft sound, countless tiny light particles appeared above the training ground. These light particles were suspended in the air, motionless, like a galaxy.
"This is a glimmering array. Every particle of light in the array is imbued with a trace of my spiritual energy. Your task is to use your spiritual sense to lock onto it, capture it, and then move it."
She stretched out a finger and gently pointed it forward. Then, a particle of light in the galaxy began to move. It bypassed the other particles of light and landed precisely on Zhong Ling's fingertip.
"Without touching any other light particle, let it travel from the starting point to the end point. When you have done this, you will be considered to have truly entered the door of cultivation."
Looking at the vast sea of stars in front of them, the six people were dumbfounded.
Use spiritual sense to lock onto one of so many light particles and control its movement?
How is this possible!
But after a brief shock, the unyielding spirit in the soldiers' bones was aroused.
Especially the five young men, their eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Yes! We guarantee to complete the mission!" The six people promised in unison with the determination to burn their boats.
They sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and began to try to probe their spiritual consciousness into the glimmer array as Zhong Ling said.
A few seconds later, a man covered his head and screamed in pain. A small piece of light in front of him suddenly exploded and then quickly returned to its original shape. It was obvious that he had used too much force and his spiritual consciousness was backfired.
Ji Anbang was the calmest. He spent half a day before he could barely condense his spiritual consciousness into a beam, but it felt like trying to thread an embroidery needle with a thick rope, which was very clumsy.
Qiao Jianmin was very excited watching from the side. This was the best. It is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. This is the only way to help them grow better.
Zhong Ling completed the task and turned to Qiao Jianmin and said, "The road has been paved. How far they can go depends on themselves."
After saying that, Zhong Ling disappeared from the spot.
…
Another half month passed since Zhong Ling went to Kunlun Taoist Temple.
During this period, a fortune-telling blogger named "Tianji Shensuan" emerged on the Daxia Internet and became popular all over the Internet.
She never shows her face and uses a screen to cover it during live broadcasts.
Different from Zhong Ling who directly fulfills wishes, "Tianji Shensuan" follows the path of traditional metaphysics, interpreting horoscopes, reading palms, determining good and bad luck, and explaining feng shui, all of which are accurate.
A business tycoon didn't believe it and connected with her on the live broadcast to embarrass her in public. However, she pointed out the company's internal financial loopholes and hidden physical illnesses in a few words. The tycoon was so scared that he hung up the live broadcast on the spot and stopped a problematic project the next day.
The popularity of the live broadcast room of "Tianji Shensuan" has soared due to its accurate predictions time and time again, and it is even showing signs of competing with the "Delicious Vegetable Store".
There is also heated discussion about the two on the Internet.
"Damn, this divine fortune teller is too amazing, could he be a disciple of the Zhong God?"
"The styles are completely different, okay?! Zhong Shen is at the level of a creator god, he can just pinch a leg for you, while Tianji Shen is a prophet, he can tell you where to find the leg."
"The truth is revealed above! One changes reality, the other predicts reality. Which one is more powerful?"
"Nonsense, it must be the God Zhong! What's the point of predicting the end of the world? The God Zhong can just poke it back with one finger!"
"That's not the case. Tianji Shensuan is also very powerful. At least it lets us know that there are more extraordinary beings in this world than just Zhong Shen. It's a good thing that a hundred flowers can bloom!"
Naturally, the national level has long noticed the divine predictions.
There were several reports on "divine calculations" piled up on Zhou Zhenguo's desk.
"Is the identity background check clear?" Zhou Zhenguo asked, rubbing his eyebrows.
"We've found out. This person's name is Zhao Xuan, 24 years old, an orphan. Three months ago, he suffered a severe brain injury in a car accident. After being in a coma for a week, he woke up with a completely changed personality. Then he started livestreaming.
All of her actions were within the legal framework, and no signs of harm to society were found," Qiao Jianmin reported.
Zhou Zhenguo pondered for a moment and said, "Continue to monitor her and don't disturb her. As long as she abides by the laws of Daxia, we don't need to interfere too much. In this era, any kind of person can appear."
Zhou Zhenguo looked out the window, wondering what Comrade Zhong Ling thought about this matter.
