"Fellow Daoist Zhang... your skill is truly divine. This old man... admits he is far inferior."
Only after a long while did Renxiao come back to his senses. He let out a heartfelt sigh, his tone filled with incredulous shock and deep admiration.
He had cultivated bitterly for countless years and considered himself widely knowledgeable, yet the miracle Zhang Shuai had displayed lay completely beyond his understanding.
Zhang Shuai toyed with the lotus petal in his hand and smiled faintly. "Fellow Daoist Renxiao, you flatter me. I merely grasped a small trick and took a shortcut."
He was telling the truth.
With his current strength, he was still far from being able to truly analyze and control the entire Primal Chaos Azure Lotus, this "ultimate mainframe program."
However, relying on the three thousand six hundred foundational runes of his Divine-Text Programming Dao, he had successfully "decoded" part of the "interface protocol" and "verification logic" connecting the lotus petal to the main body of the azure lotus.
Simply put, he was temporarily incapable of breaking through the mainframe's "firewall" and "core database," but he had found "logical loopholes" in certain external plugins attached to the mainframe.
He did not need to dismantle it by force. He only needed to use his own Dao aura to simulate a specific Divine-Text sequence and send the correct "uninstall command" to bypass the mainframe's normal defenses and make the lotus petal detach "of its own accord."
It truly was taking a shortcut, but he was the only one in the world capable of doing it.
The corner of Renxiao's mouth twitched twice.
Taking a shortcut?
You could take shortcuts with something like this? Without sufficient strength, how could one possibly take a shortcut?
Yet what happened next nearly made Renxiao's eyes pop out.
