Viewing the Cultivation System from Dao Scripts

If you look at each Daoist inscription individually, their function is extremely simple and unadorned.

Length, size, weight, orientation, color, position, time, lifespan.

Yang Ning could imagine that almost all the terms used to measure things that had appeared in the billions of the Spirit Realm seemed to have appeared here.

These terms aren't just for show; all the relevant parameters can be set using this Daoist scripture.

Yang Ning felt as if...

Taiheng is an open-world game, and what Yang Ning is holding are its backend operation codes!

Although altering these codes requires Law Power, with Yang Ning's current Law Power, and the scope of his interference, while he might not be able to change the data of a single galaxy, he could certainly change the data of an entire galaxy!

One can imagine that if Yang Ning truly possessed unlimited Law Power one day, he could change all the metrics and parameters in the entire cultivation world!

"Is this a grand gesture from the Heavenly Dao?" Yang Ning felt it didn't quite seem like it. After thinking it over, he could only conclude that the ability was very strong, but in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, it was just so-so.

Many people may have mastered this ability, so much so that Heavenly Dao showed no mercy and directly bestowed it upon Yang Ning.

"Once a cultivator at the Spiritual Law Realm comprehends the inner realm, wouldn't they be able to freely interfere with the universe, change parameters, and create their own world?" Yang Ning pondered for a moment, confirming that the Heavenly Dao did favor him, but it was merely giving him the rewards that were due later in advance.

It's not really that perverted, though.

Moreover, the Heavenly Dao's reward isn't that great. It probably means, "I'm giving you these three thousand Dao Scripts. You can research and create whatever Divine Ability you want."

But it never imagined that Yang Ning possessed Spirit Realm, capable of dismantling the Dao script, stripping away the underlying code, and thoroughly researching the entire Dao script system!

No other cultivator could have done that.

Therefore, the same reward, which would be considered ordinary for others, became a creation gift package for Yang Ning!

"I wonder if Heavenly Dao will regret this?" A thought popped into Yang Ning's mind, but he quickly shook it off and returned to his study of the Dao inscriptions.

Although the Daoist texts contain many nouns, they only amount to about three thousand, while the Chinese language has a million nouns!

Of course, the terms in these three thousand texts are not the kind of trivial terms.

For example, men, women, children, old people, adults, young people, little fairies, 59 changes, etc., many nouns will be summarized as one character in Dao Wen.

Even so, there are still areas not covered by the three thousand Daoist texts.

For example, some physics terms.

Speed of sound, speed of light, Planck Constant, Planck's scale.

There are also some mathematical terms.

For example, the natural constant, π, and Graham's number.

Of course, there are corresponding numbers, but they are categorized under the broader category of "numbers" in the Daoist texts.

In the concept of "numbers", 3.1415926 is just an ordinary string of numbers.

Only in a geometric sense is this number π!

Therefore, although this number does exist in the three thousand Dao texts, the mathematical concept of π does not actually exist.

So here's the question: if the Heavenly Dao scriptures don't mention π, how did the sphere in nature form? Did the circle not exist before π?

Of course, circles exist, and so does π. In fact, before Yang Ning arrived, local physicists in Taiheng had already measured π to more than ten decimal places.

I believe that other planets where science has progressed further should have even more digits.

However, this concept is indeed not found in the Three Thousand Daoist Texts.

What does this tell us?

This means that while Daoist script does represent the Principle Heavenly Dao, it was not created or summarized by Heavenly Dao itself, but rather by humans or cultivators.

If the creator is the Heavenly Dao, then it is impossible for it to have missed anything, and Yang Ning could not have created any Divine Ability, because the Heavenly Dao should know and understand everything. What it gave Yang Ning should be an "Omniscient and Omnipotent Book".

What it gave Yang Ning now was a less complete version of the "Heavenly Dao True Words," which meant that the creator of the Dao script was not the Heavenly Dao, but the cultivator.

The Heavenly Dao provides whatever the cultivators create, and it will not provide what the cultivators do not create.

Yang Ning seemed to understand the operating principle of the Heavenly Dao in this world.

What is the Heavenly Dao?

The Heavenly Dao is a platform, a platform for reviewing and publishing papers. It does not produce knowledge itself; it relies entirely on submissions from cultivators.

What is a cultivator who establishes a path?

He is a scientist.

The cultivator who created the Human-grade Divine Ability was a Distinguished Young Scholar; the one who created the Earth-grade Divine Ability was a Yangtze River Scholar; and the one who created the Heaven-grade Divine Ability was an Academician.

Who created Peerless Divine Abilities?

Those are the immortals whose names are etched in textbooks for all students throughout history to admire; they are the treasures of the human world.

What created the Daoist script?

He is a deity, a deity above all deities, a powerful figure who has carved out his own path, and the patriarch of any academic discipline.

What were those scientists who discovered pi, and even universal gravitation and the law of electromagnetic induction, yet were not recorded by the Heavenly Dao?

These are scientists who have not entered the scientific research system.

In this world, cultivators are scientists within the Heavenly Dao system. If you are outside the system, no matter what you invent or discover, it's all in vain if you can't submit it to the Heavenly Dao.

You claim you invented pi and solved Goldbach's Conjecture?

Which school did you graduate from? Who was your advisor? What is your academic qualification? Where did you publish your thesis?

In this environment, even if you invent an incredibly powerful Dao, such as the Great Destiny Technique, you are still just a mortal. Your Dao will not be noticed by the Heavenly Dao and may be plagiarized by others.

Based on this assumption, Yang Ning can further deduce:

Since I wasn't the first to discover pi, I was still the first to submit my findings to the Heavenly Dao.

Even if I discover a new method for constructing Daoist texts, I may not necessarily gain the greatest benefit.

After all, in this Heavenly Dao, whoever submits their work first benefits.

I can create a new Dao script, and other cultivators can obtain that Dao script.

I'm only at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, and I've only learned seven or eight hundred Peerless Divine Abilities above me. Could there be powerful figures in the Immortal Realm who have learned seven or eight thousand peerless Peerless Divine Abilities?

They can instantly study most of the new Daoist scripture they get their hands on, and then preemptively register all the Peerless Divine Abilities within the entire system.

The result is that you plant the tree, and others enjoy the shade.

Is this possible?

That's amazing!

"So, being too talented isn't necessarily a good thing?" Yang Ning stroked his chin, looking at the sea of Nightmare Script in front of him. He already had an idea for creating Dao Script, but he was hesitant about whether to do it.

"Speaking of which, there must be some benefits to creating Daoist script!"

After all, among the countless worlds and billions of stars, any cultivator within this system could potentially use your Dao scripture. How much fortune could it generate?

However, his cultivation level is too low, making it easy for him to create his own path only to be ousted from the board of directors.

However, if you don't create your own ideas, you might end up having the same ideas as someone else, and that person might publish your work first.

Yang Ning hesitated for a long time before finally shaking his head.

The Tao can be created, but not in reality.

Prioritize stability in all things; staying alive is more important than anything else.

As for the usage, I won't use Dao script, I'll use Nightmare Script instead.

It's a bit cumbersome, but the confidentiality is excellent!

It can be used by everyone in the Spirit Realm, and its effects are actually no different from those of Daoist scriptures.

Moreover, don't be fooled by the current complexity of the Nightmare Script, which often amount to billions; that's because his cultivation level is low.

As long as his cultivation level increases and the quality of his Nightmare Immortal Method improves, the number of Nightmare Script will naturally decrease.

Perhaps one day, one of his Nightmare Script will be able to replace one Dao Rune; who knows?

Um?
