Xu Qian gave an example: "Brother Xu knows the mass-energy formula and the basic principles of fission and fusion, but can you build a nuclear bomb immediately?"
"For another example, there is a secret book. If you read the words in the secret book and understand the meaning of the words, will you be able to practice it to the highest level immediately?"
Xu Qian and Li Miaozhen opened their eyes and understood what Xu Qian meant. Learning knowledge and mastering knowledge are not the same as applying knowledge!
Even if this person hands over what he has learned without reservation, how much can he learn? How much can he master and apply it?
It’s not like having a book, you can immediately learn the knowledge in the book and apply it. After learning the knowledge, you can put it into practical application. There is a process.
To put it simply, knowledge does not mean that you can use it immediately after you know it. This is where Xu Qian and Li Miaozhen misunderstood. They subconsciously thought that as long as they have knowledge, it is equivalent to being able to use it.
No wonder this person is not worried. Others want to learn his knowledge and reach his realm, but I don’t know how long it will take. As for surpassing this person, it will take even longer.
"What's more..." Xu Qian added: "While they are mastering and applying this knowledge, I am also making continuous progress. Do you think I am standing still?"
Yes, while others are learning and progressing, this one is not standing still, but is also constantly learning and becoming stronger. They also subconsciously ignore this. When asking this question, they take it for granted and unknowingly assume it in their minds.
One condition - this person will stay where he is.
"If you want to surpass me or reach my level, you must either develop faster than me, and you will eventually surpass me at a certain point in time, or knowledge will have an end and I can no longer move forward."
At this time, Xu Qian thought of a loophole and asked: "But if Brother Xu does this, if someone is stronger and more knowledgeable than you, and has obtained what you have learned all your life, wouldn't it be easy to find your loopholes, Brother Xu?"
?”
Xu Qian smiled and said: "There is indeed such a possibility. The truth is absolute, but the knowledge I have is relative. If people can easily find loopholes, it doesn't mean that there are loopholes in the knowledge I have and it has not yet reached the absolute truth.
level."
Xu Qian didn't expect that Xu Qian would answer like this. A bad thing turned out to be a good thing in this person's mouth.
"Real knowledge should not change with the world or with the passage of time. If the world changes and the time changes, some knowledge becomes useless, then there must be something wrong with the knowledge we have recognized."
This is Xu Qian’s current view of the heavens and worlds. He believes that the worlds in the heavens are different. Some are science fiction worlds, some are martial arts worlds, and some are fairy worlds. But there is one most fundamental essence. What he wants to do now is
It is to find this essence - the most fundamental principle of the existence of all heavens and worlds.
Just like water has three states, the conditions shown in the three states are different, but they are all composed of H20, two hydrogens and one oxygen. This is called the essence.
There may be many laws in the heavens and the world that are false, but among the many falsehoods there must be truth. What Xu Qian wants to do is to find the truth among the many falsehoods, and eventually the truth accumulated for all eternity will gather together to be able to defeat the heavens.
This is also the path he considers to be the most correct. He firmly believes that as long as he doesn't perish along the way, he will be able to reach the other shore. However, he doesn't know what kind of scenery he will see when he reaches the other shore.
Li Miaozhen asked curiously: "What is the path that your Excellency is taking?"
She heard Xu Qian say it and made some rough guesses about what she saw and heard after coming to the valley, but she was still curious about Xu Qian's path.
Xu Qian smiled and said: "Brother Xu should have told you to understand the world and then improve yourself through the knowledge gained from understanding the world."
"Whether it is the martial arts system, your Taoism, Confucianism, or witchcraft, they all actually understand the world, but the aspects of the world they understand are different."
"However, due to the existence of the way of heaven, it is relatively easy for you to acquire knowledge, which makes you lazy. Gradually, you give up on taking the initiative to understand the world and understand its secrets. Anyway, it is all in the way of heaven. What should you do if you put in the effort to think about it?
?”
"Over time, you will just practice whatever the predecessors passed down to you, and you will rarely investigate the principles behind it. This also makes you fall into a trap!"
"What trap?" Li Miaozhen blurted out.
Xu Qian said: "You gave up the trap caused by cognitive thinking! Because you are no longer willing to take the initiative to understand the world and explore its most fundamental mysteries, you are very dependent on the 'environment'. This 'environment' refers to you."
The practice environment that I have adapted to now.”
"Miss Li should know that one of the reasons why the ancient gods and demons perished was that the way of heaven changed and was no longer suitable for them to survive. So why did the ancient gods and demons feel that when the way of heaven changed, the ancient gods and demons felt that it was no longer suitable for them to survive?"
Li Miaozhen fell into thinking, and Xu Qian smiled and said: "You are no different from the ancient gods and demons. You have never seriously understood what you are practicing. What is the nature of your practice? If one day the current way of heaven changes, then you will also be the same.
Like ancient gods and demons, they entered the so-called 'Age of Ending Dharma' and were forced to perish."
Li Miaozhen asked: "Your path can avoid this?"
Xu Qian smiled and said: "It may not be possible to completely avoid it, but those who take my path do not rely on heaven's heart to exist, but only follow their own way. Even if the world changes, we must find out the reasons for the change and strive to survive in the next change.
, Heaven and earth change but I remain unchanged, heaven and earth perish but I will never perish!”
Li Miaozhen finally understood this person's path, which was indeed very different from theirs. No wonder this person was so strong, and all the other super-level ones were captured by him.
Thinking of other super products, Li Miaozhen asked curiously: "What do you think of those super products?"
Xu Qian said: "They all had good opportunities, but it was a pity that they were wasted. But this cannot be entirely blamed on them. It is more because they were born in this world and were naturally restrained. You are the same. If
No one will break your original living environment, and you will repeat the same past as your predecessors. You are not those people, but the things are still the same."
"Limited by your original cognition, it is difficult for you to jump out of your original thinking. Those who can break the original living environment are either people with great wisdom and perseverance, or people who break in from other environments.
Witch gods, Taoists, and Confucian sages all had opportunities, but unfortunately they were limited by their knowledge in the end."
Li Miaozhen asked again: "Then why are you not restricted?"
Xu Qian smiled and said: "Didn't I already give the answer in my words? 'Either a person with great wisdom and perseverance, or someone who broke in from another environment', I am the latter!"
Li Miaozhen was shocked. This person actually came to their world from another world?
Xu Qi'an sighed inwardly: 'Is this person really not afraid? He just casually revealed the identity of the time traveler?'
