Chapter 500 Discussion
Wearing a gray undershirt, armor on the upper body, holding a spear in the hand, and a steel knife on the waist, they stood there blankly. These were the soldiers that Han Xin had summoned by using the strategy of scattering beans to create an army.

"It's about the same physical quality as an average person. No, it should be similar to an average person who is not lacking in nutrition." Wang Yansheng's consciousness enveloped the bean soldier, "It just doesn't look very smart."

Han Xin nodded and issued a few instructions, which the bean soldiers followed one by one. "They are almost like dead objects. They can only follow orders and have no autonomy. However, we can enforce discipline and we don't need to worry about morale issues."

He frowned, "But the actions of these bean soldiers all depend on my own ability. I am the biggest constraint in terms of both number and combat power. If I want to recruit a large army, I am afraid that my faith will be drained."

Wang Yansheng thought for a while and handed over a book: "General Han, this is the practice method of this world, see if you can learn it."

Han Xin gladly took it, flipped through a few pages, and frowned: "I can understand some of the contents here, but other records are difficult to comprehend. I think this kind of secret book should have some allusions and metaphors. If I don't understand them clearly, I'm afraid that if I force myself to practice it, I will explode and die on the spot."

'His thinking logic is complete, his common sense cognition and independent thinking are far superior to ordinary people. It seems that this person is indeed not an ordinary person.'

Wang Yansheng thought secretly in his heart, he roughly knew where the system came from, but he still needed to have a detailed understanding of the recruits. Only by understanding the operating mechanism of the system and the underlying logic of the recruited talents could he feel at ease. He did not want the recruits to fail at the critical moment and turn the savior into a hidden bomb that would blow up everyone.

"Next, we need to see whether Han Xin has the ability to grow independently and whether the overall planning points can help him grow."

After thinking, he nodded to Han Xin and said, "General Han has just arrived in this world. Although he has the ability to command thousands of troops, there are many cultivators in this world. The general has no way to protect himself, so he will inevitably be killed and his flag seized. Yansheng has also achieved success in cultivation, so why not let me explain it to the general."

While Wang Yansheng and Han Xin were exchanging information, Gu Qingyuan also casually placed a piece: "Five pieces in a row, Gu wins."

The Jade Emperor picked up his white piece and fixed his eyes on one spot: "Daoyou is very fair and impartial, and even refined a system for it."

"It's just that I occasionally gained something from discussing Taoism with fellow Taoists, and I couldn't help it," Gu Qingyuan smiled, "After all, Yansheng Wuji is my student, so I can't take sides."

He discussed Taoism with the Jade Emperor for quite a long time. They did not talk about supernatural powers or wonderful methods, but only about the fundamental Tao of the two of them. The Tao is the origin and source, the root and the trunk, and the various wonderful methods and supernatural powers are nothing more than branches and leaves that grow out of a strong trunk with a solid foundation. Only when the trunk is solid can the branches and leaves be lush.

Once the fundamental truth is realized, supernatural powers will follow. One can do whatever one wants with just a thought. The Jade Emperor is also an ancient cultivator with many years of experience, practicing secret medicines. There are countless strange stories and happenings, which he can talk about casually, and they are the great secrets of the ancient times.

Gu Qingyuan is a person from outside the world. Although he did not experience it personally, he also carries some memories, which are no different from personal experience. It’s just that he does not want to pursue the old path, so his practice is a bit tortuous. However, some principles are clear to him at a glance, and with mutual verification, his cultivation progress is also rapid.

Now that he had met the Jade Emperor and respected him as a fellow Taoist, he naturally had to show off what he had learned. The Jade Emperor explained the law of cause and effect, and Gu Qingyuan talked about the law of emotions. The Jade Emperor pointed out the way to see through time, and Gu Qingyuan talked about the way to achieve immortality in dreams. In addition, all kinds of things, such as scientific avenues, mechanical ascension, and secrets of the outer world, were turned into topics of conversation by Gu Qingyuan.

The two of them discussed the rise of the Tao and jointly created a world, which was filled with projections of characters they had captured from the long river of time in the universe. They enlightened on the various great ways and used them as chess pieces to manipulate all living beings.

That projected world only existed for a few hours with the combined efforts of the two, but for the creatures inside, it was a cycle of creation and destruction of the world, with countless sparks of wisdom colliding and giving rise to endless vitality.

Both of them transformed the fundamental avenue into the rhythm of the Tao, achieved the position of the creator, and worked together to open up the sky. After a century had passed, the world returned to nothingness, and the heaven and earth returned to ruins. Only then did they stop, and they all gained something.

After that, he discussed the Great Dao again, showing his cultivation level. He deduced various secret techniques, and his breath turned into clouds and his voice was like thunder. He explained the fundamental Dharma, causing countless strange phenomena in heaven and earth. It was common for things like flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses emerging from the ground.

The two of them spoke and expounded the Dharma, every word was like a pearl, and the power of stars hung down from the sky. The Milky Way hung upside down, and endless sacred mountains were brewing and turned into white mist, which then accumulated into clouds and a heavy sacred rain fell.

The spiritual rain washed away all living beings within the surrounding miles. For these living beings, it was no less than a huge fortune and a great opportunity. Grass and trees grew, dead trees came back to life in spring, birds and beasts gained wisdom, and river fish shed their scales. The life and death calamities of refining the transverse bone and shedding the animal fetus were all extremely simple and accomplished in an instant.

Even the evil spirit contained in the veins beneath the feet of the two men, the cold poison in the water, and even the fire poison in the magma deep underground had all been mostly eliminated. Within a thousand miles, fairy mountains and spiritual springs had formed, and within tens of thousands of miles, there were only blessed places and caves.

"I originally took refining equipment as my fundamental path. I gained some insights from talking with fellow Taoists, so I took advantage of the situation to refine a system. The recruitment function is actually a large signal receiver. As long as it is searched, it can attract the projection of the heroic spirit. This can be regarded as my advice to Yansheng Xiaoxiao, so that Wuji will not have to play house with a group of immortals when he has already lit up the technology tree of the neural insect race."

Although the Jade Emperor is an immortal in this world, he has many equivalents, some of whom live in modern times or in other worlds. He understands what Gu Qingyuan said and nodded, "The avenue of science and technology is indeed of great benefit to people's livelihood and can support all people. It's a pity that it doesn't conform to the tradition of this world. There are immortals who suppress it. It has been the same for thousands of years, and it is conservative, but there is no soil for technological advancement."

Gu Qingyuan smiled and said, "The road of science and technology is difficult to implement. It requires the right time, right place, and right people. Without a wise person, it is difficult to succeed with materials science as the foundation and various technologies as prerequisites. Once one of the prerequisites is missing, it will take hundreds of years."

"But technology is advancing very fast. It is normal to see no progress for a thousand years. After two industrial revolutions in a hundred years, it is also normal for technology to explode. It all depends on whether there is an opportunity."

He watched for a while and said, "This world is controlled by immortals. It is difficult for mortals to turn things around and survive. There is no time for leisure. If it were not for my deus ex machina, the opportunity for science to flourish would have to wait until the world declines and the end of the law era comes."

"But now we need those immortals to see the great power that mortals can create!"
