Chapter 993 - 86: Blacksmith: The Devs Are Geniuses, Their Imagination Is Incredible!
"I have an idea."
A famous writer suddenly spoke up:
"Using the Golden Core as a medium is very good. You said each Golden Core records a cultivator’s previous life; this is very interesting."
"It will greatly enhance the immersion, which is very helpful for my replication of Tao Rhyme."
"Can your Golden Cores be used as a paper media platform for me to serialize my personal Tao Rhyme books?"
The speaker was a Celestial Immortal.
He excelled at replicating a certain Fire Attribute Tao Rhyme, having profound insight into it, and had even developed a method for replicating Tao Rhyme.
To exchange for cultivation resources, he wrote illusion realm stories illuminated by his insights into the Fire Attribute Laws, to guide cultivators into Enlightenment.
What era is this?
Does anyone still care if the story is about a real life or a fake life in fiction?
If it allows cultivators to experience another "real" life story and achieve Enlightenment...
It is a good life!
Much better than personally descending to train, how troublesome is that?
As long as it’s done convincingly, even you shout: I can’t tell, I really can’t tell!
Who can say it’s fake then?
And this Celestial Immortal writer thought the Golden Core was indeed a good carrier.
As a new type of book platform, providing these writers and painters a serializing outlet, it is very promising.
The various arts of immortal cultivation include writers and painters, whose profits are actually far richer than outsiders imagine.
The people present couldn’t help but discuss:
"I think so too; can we serialize on Golden Cores?"
"Yes, stories can help you build, but we also want to build our stories."
"Of course." Painter Jiucai Rong said:
"But you all know, this isn’t a regular book medium; any topic can go wild... We’re Golden Cores, per the setting, the stories within the Golden Core are all set in a Daoist world background."
"The stories you construct, with a Daoist backdrop, won’t feel out of place."
"Naturally, even the background stories of Daoists across everyone can interact to create a Daoist universal worldview."
Something similar to the Marvel Universe is very promising!
Another writer below laughed, agreeing: "Then I can try changing the background of the story I’m writing in my hand now into a Daoist one."
"Alright, folks, let’s end here; let’s first discuss our debut story."
Jiucai Rong pointed to the PPT images behind, "This is the background we provide, the palace background of that tomb."
"And below are several painted wall images after the Jiao was beheaded."
They secretly displayed the materials they collected and filmed from the tomb.
Providing background and Tao Rhyme facilities for those big shots to reference and construct real Tao Rhyme illusion realms.
For this, the blacksmiths purchased dedicated Tao Rhyme information collection magical artifacts.
They conducted holographic collection of various aspects of the ancient tomb, preserving various information to the utmost extent.
"These images?"
The various images left some people present momentarily speechless, a bit shocked.
Especially the mural image showing a snake with sharp, deadly wings, whose Tao Rhyme was very astonishing.
The room suddenly became lively, showing immense enthusiasm for creation:
"Interesting, could this be real??"
"In reality, there is indeed such a painting, and just the engraved aura delivers a sense of ancient murder; even I, a Celestial Immortal, feel instinctual fear."
"Having such a real background makes one sense real murder, fear... This Jiao and the Scholar doubles the effect with half the effort."
"Replicating Tao Rhyme within is simpler; adding some of our own Law insights to some scenes... perfect."
They eagerly discussed.
To conquer them, it’s best to present good enough scenes and plots...
Now, apparently, they were greatly impressed by the immortal venerate’s ancient tomb mural style; after all, aren’t they all artists?
You can never imagine how excited, crazy, and full of thirst for knowledge these artists become when they see ancient artistic relics!
Many even had a thought arise in their hearts:
Could the story of Jiao and the Scholar truly have occurred?
Even if it is fictional, these patterns must be real-life scenes, already carrying much Tao Rhyme, and are certainly related to some ancient historical relics.
Xi Rong must possess some historical materials!
Someone asked, "And next? You said the whole Daoist world background, at the end of the story, the Jiao plotted against the Scholar, resurrected, and flew away... How did it leave the deadly snake-shaped mural?"
Jiucai Rong smiled gently, "That’s the plot of our next story; we have temporarily decided that the Jiao goes to the outside world but arrives inside another ruin within this tomb, encountering another group of Daoist civilization..."
"This then introduces the next story’s protagonist, Xu Huan, another story full of twists and turns."
"As for how the Jiao leaves that mural tunnel, we won’t spoil it; you all can guess."
Everyone was speechless.
These storytellers and cultivators constructing illusion realms often like to leave the story hanging, halfway through, leaving suspense.
And now, this suspense left over their heads, leaving them speechless.
By professional instinct, they began discussing and speculating the following second story plot.
"Illusion realms are all about logic, making one think the story truly happened, so this mural’s interpretation should also fit the actual situation."
"Does anyone recognize the origin of this mural?"
At this point, the Saint Child said, "That’s space divine techniques."
Everyone was shocked: "That mural, doesn’t it involve prehistoric?"
"Exactly."
This Saint Child Wanluan Vase exclaimed, "They are carefully constructing the story; this story background occurs in the tomb, and this tomb is quite real."
"In ancient times, people cultivated primary divine techniques like space, life, and time... that was the ancient technique, and with the changes in Heaven and Earth, the Law perfected, and the Heavenly Dao improved, primary divine techniques could no longer be practiced, now only secondary divine techniques like the Five Elements and Yin and Yang..."
"But it’s not that today’s era is weaker; with Heaven and Earth supplemented, a deeper world Law, destiny, is also manifesting."
Everyone nodded; many knew such ancient histories in the Immortal Realm.
"I heard from a True Immortal elder about his tomb raiding experiences, and to break this type of space assassination mural, one can only employ ingenuity. In future story plots, we can describe this, using this method to break it; we need to set up an array, and select..."
Everyone felt their knowledge was expanded with this insight.
They could use this knowledge when writing books in the future.
Those who build illusion realms require high personal knowledge accumulation; if the knowledge is insufficient, how can they construct realistic illusion realms and make books more immersive?
And from the observer perspective, the blacksmiths were inwardly delighted:
[Sure enough, it worked!]
[I freaking knew, those Immortal Realm tomb raiders are the professionals; without their tomb raiding knowledge, we’d still need their help to raid tombs.]
[Hahahaha, we’re a bunch of clever little devils.]
[Brothers, prepare to set up an array, and pass the levels.]
[This game is too fun; yesterday someone complained that the painted wall difficulty was too high, saying this dungeon’s mural is garbage?]
[Exactly, you guys just don’t know how to play!]
[It’s so satisfying, step by step filming and collecting materials, letting these big shots help us raid tombs scene by scene through this movie-like setup.]
[Once we break the mural, and the Jiao emerges from the painting, we’ll immediately have new shooting materials.]
[Hahaha, we’re like Emperor Qin Shi Huang touching an electric wire, winning big time!]
[The planners are so excellent to have designed this innovative version of tomb raiding puzzle solving!]
...
Ning Zheng: "..."
He, as the planner, found himself rather stunned.
—Did you really have such a method?
Ning Zheng’s Dharma Aspect Clone combat power is comparable to an ordinary Celestial Immortal!
He tried several times, being defeated each time, and they just conquered it like that?
Using such a method to obtain relevant tomb-raiding data and successfully break the tomb, is truly a group of geniuses.
