Chapter 272: Immortal Law Reform Starting from Thunder Law

No matter how hard my younger sister Zheng Shan tried, the electric potential generated by friction was extremely small, and the electric sparks were completely invisible to ordinary people.

But those in this classroom are not ordinary people.

The perception ability of a monk far exceeds that of ordinary mortals.

What's more, there are many disciples who have practiced spiritual eye methods such as "Dongxu Spiritual Eye".

How could they not see that not only was Zheng Shan lacking in cultivation?

Zheng Fa, who was standing aside, did not use any magic either.

Therefore, that small spark was like a thunderclap, plunging the classroom full of thousands of people into dead silence.

Zheng Fa watched as his master stared at the silk in his younger sister's hand with a complicated expression - puzzled, shocked, and more importantly, thoughtful.

Zheng Shan was stared at by so many people, she shrank her neck, and seemed a little scared.

Zheng Fa touched her head and said with a smile: "Don't look at her, she doesn't understand anything."

My younger sister is just an actor - she is just following the script.

The head of the sect shook his head and said, "If it weren't for Junior Sister Huang saying that this little fellow didn't have a Taoist body..."

He paused, and was silent for a long while before he said, "So, what do you think Thunder Magic is?"

The other disciples also looked at Zheng Fa. The scene just now could be said to have overturned their cognition.

The leader’s doubts now are exactly what they most want to know.

Zheng Fa thought about it, drew his fingers in front of him twice, and a light screen appeared in front of him.

"Master, I thought that thunder magic is actually divided into two aspects, one is thunder, and the other is magic."

The words "thunder" and "law" appeared on the light curtain.

“Thunder is a phenomenon.”

As he spoke, ripples appeared on the word "thunder" in the light curtain, turning into flashes of lightning.

Zheng Fa continued: "Law is a tool."

After saying this, the two words "Thunder" and "Fa" on the light curtain turned into the two words "Phenomenon" and "Tool".

After these two sentences were said, Senior Sister Zhang's face changed slightly, as if she understood something.

But the rest of the people were confused and seemed unable to understand.

But they had a feeling that what Zheng Fa said seemed to be an unprecedented definition in the Xuanwei world.

Zheng Fa paused.

I saw a trace of anxiety on my master's face.

"Keep going!"

Uncle Pang and Uncle Huang glanced at him.

No, didn’t you think that your disciple was against Tiangang before?

Are you listening so enthusiastically now?

…

Seeing their confusion, Zheng Fa was not in a hurry to answer them, and asked again:

"Then who can tell me where the various thunder techniques today come from?"

Zhou Qianyuan answered again: "Inheritance from our ancestors!"

Zheng Fa nodded and said, "That's right. How did our ancestors create this thunder method?"

Everyone looked at each other, words on the tip of their tongue, but they didn't know how to say it.

It was the headmaster who spoke: "Observe the way of heaven and follow the way of heaven."

Zheng Fa clapped his hands and praised: "Isn't the way of heaven a phenomenon? Isn't the way of heaven a method?"

After hearing this, everyone felt that they understood a little, but they also felt that something was missing, and they all fell into deep thought.

Zheng Fa smiled and pointed at the light curtain.

Suddenly, a word appeared between the phenomenon and the tool - "knowledge".

Everyone was not stupid, they understood Zheng Fa's meaning immediately, and there was a look of enlightenment on their faces.

Then the words on the screen began to change again.

Finally, it condensed into three sentences:

“Observe phenomena and summarize knowledge.”

"Use knowledge to create methods."

“Knowledge is power.”

…

"Knowledge is power?" The head of the sect muttered to himself. He felt that this sentence was extremely simple, but it seemed to fully explain the essence of the magic.

But Uncle Pang frowned and said, "Nephew, you said that knowledge is power. Then this knowledge depends on each person's observation and comes from each person's own understanding. Doesn't that mean that this knowledge is different for everyone?"

When he said this, he couldn't help but look at Senior Sister Zhang.

It seemed that he remembered the previous conflict between the two sects.

Zheng Fa nodded and said, "This is the shortcoming of the immortal methods in the past - they lacked experiments."

"experiment?"

"Not every understanding can be called knowledge." Zheng Fa thought for a moment and continued, "A theory that has not been verified by experiments can only be a conjecture."

Senior Sister Zhang stared at Zheng Fa intently, as if she knew that he had now touched upon the essence of her theory.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"The simplest evidence is the process by which our ancestors created spells - they observed the runes in the air, used their spiritual power to simulate the trajectory of the runes, and then produced spell effects."

"This... is the most basic experimental proof."

After this was said, everyone understood a little.

"Then according to this statement, didn't our ancestors also prove it?"

Uncle Pang frowned.

"So, they created immortal methods, but past empirical evidence often stopped there... and were unable to summarize more essential knowledge."

After saying that, Zheng Fa sighed.

He travels back and forth between the modern world and the Xuanwei world, so naturally he can better understand the gap between the two worlds in this regard.

In his opinion, in terms of wisdom, ability, and insight, the cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm are all good...

Even the immortal magic makes these cultivators' destructive power and vitality far stronger than modern people.

But the cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm rarely ask the most fundamental questions:

What is Reiki? Why is the magic effective?

What is the essence of cultivation? Of course they have creativity, but this creation is probably the accumulation of coincidental discoveries from generation to generation. Simply put, there is no set of methodology for research.

In Zheng Fa's opinion, the biggest difference between the two worlds is:

Modern people are good at understanding the world, but it is extremely difficult to transform it. Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the issue of extending lifespan… Modern science has been around for hundreds of years, but humans have not been able to completely break through their own physiological lifespan.

But for the cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm, transforming the world is too easy.

They don't even need to ask those boring questions. They just need to enter the Tao and practice Taoism, follow the path of their predecessors, and they will naturally gain powerful strength and a long life.

This simplicity has greatly suppressed the spirit of exploration of many people.

In fact, if it weren’t for the decline of spiritual energy, most people probably wouldn’t expect any new methods.

Zheng Fa was lucky in that he received modern education and knew a little about how to understand the world.

On the one hand, there is an opportunity to practice immortal arts...

In today's class, what Zheng Fa wants to do is not just to talk about his own thunder method, but to talk about the methodology through the discussion of thunder method.

However, judging from the expressions of these disciples, they probably didn't quite understand.

He had expected this question, and Zheng Fa continued, "For example, just now, when I asked you what thunder magic was, your answer was actually the knowledge that seemed to be the truth in the Xuanwei Realm - thunder magic can only be controlled by cultivators, because only by using spiritual power can the power of heavenly thunder be generated."

"Then my younger sister's experiment just now...proved that this knowledge is wrong."

After hearing this, everyone immediately understood a little.

"So, thunder magic has nothing to do with spiritual power?"

The headmaster said slowly.

"Very good, Master, you have been able to summarize new knowledge through experiments!" Zheng Fa praised.

Zhang smiled when he heard this, but he immediately realized something was wrong...

He slowly stopped smiling and stared at Zheng Fa.

Traitor!
