Chapter 795: The Supreme Wisdom of the Immortal Dao
Su Yun finally let out a breath of relief and asked Qiu Shuijing for guidance. "Grand Tutor Shang Jinge's abilities let magic fail to touch him and force fail to reach his body. I admire him immensely. Mister Shuijing, could you clear up our doubts?"
Qiu Shuijing revealed an admiring expression. "Your Majesty, Elder Shang's Daoist magic surpasses mine. He cultivates the Art of Multiple Hearts and Refining the False into the True. So-called multiple hearts means one person dividing his attention among many places at once, using mirror images as clones, with every Mirror Clone possessing independent thought."
Suddenly, one Shang Jinge interrupted him and corrected him, "The thinking ability retained by each mirror image is merely rational thought. Other abilities, such as all manner of greed and desire, are unnecessary. If you cultivate multiple hearts until even your clones possess multiple hearts, then you have cultivated it wrong."
Qiu Shuijing nodded, the admiration on his face growing stronger. He took out a scroll and gently unfurled it. "Thank you for the correction. Elder Shang's Daoist magic is simple enough to explain. At its essence, Spiritual Nature is condensed from spirit. He turns his own rationality into spirit and nurtures it within an Immortal Diagram, making it into a Spiritual Nature clone of himself. He refines the false into the true, forging it into his clone."
The scroll he held, once unfurled, was also an Immortal Diagram.
This Immortal Diagram was the one Su Yun had given him, the same one Su Yun had encountered in the world beyond the Heaven Gate all those years ago!
Qiu Shuijing said, "Spiritual Nature possesses part of the original body's capacity for thought. The Spiritual Natures in these paintings are each rational brain.
