Seeing Wang Qi improve the Flame Cloud Diagram, Zhen Chanzi was greatly invigorated.
In his view, Wang Qi had finally produced some results he could understand. If ancient cultivators from tens of thousands of years ago could draw such diagrams, then he could certainly understand them too! Did Modern Dharma Cultivators not say that the immortal Dao was constantly advancing?
Yet when Zhen Chanzi asked Wang Qi to explain the principles behind it, Wang Qi merely rolled his eyes.

Zhen Chanzi flew into a rage from embarrassment. "Just calculate it yourself. This old man will watch."
The academic ace scratched his head and asked, "Old man, do you know Euclid, a great cultivator from the same era as the Geometric Devil, now called the Geometric God?"
"Of course I know him. The Five Heavenly Styles and Five Heavenly Questions were also immensely famous divine arts in ancient times."
Wang Qi asked again, "Then do you know the mathematical principles behind the Geometric God's Five Heavenly Styles?"
"Uh..."
"Then there's nothing to discuss." Wang Qi spread his hands. "The Five Heavenly Principles, Five Heavenly Correctness, and Twenty-Three Meanings are the foundations of foundations. If you cannot even understand Euclidean Space, don't dream of setting foot in this field."
The Five Heavenly Principles and Five Heavenly Questions were what Earth called Euclid's five axioms and five postulates. Surface geometry, Hilbert's high-dimensional phase space, fractals, and fractal dimensions were all founded upon Euclidean geometry.
A fractal dimension was, as the name implied, a fractional dimension. All fractals
