On the morning of the 41st day, when Xu Wuyi was picking up a tea cup on the tree stump, he sensed a new set of signals from the Root System node of the tree-shaped pattern on the surface of Crystal.
The shape of the signal is different from all previous pulses. It does not carry coordinate information, path map, or spatial structure data. Its waveform is more complex and the levels are richer. It is like a complete system framework has been compressed and emitted in a very short energy pulse, waiting to be decompressed, expanded, and read by the receiver.
He put the tea cup back on the tree stump, stood up and walked back to the Core Residence hall.
When he sat down in front of the console, the shadow of Zero One lit up on the side. "Lord, Crystal's Root System node inside Fruit has emitted a new signal layer in the past two hours. The signal waveform contains multiple frequency components that have never appeared before, and the information density far exceeds any previous signal transmission."
Xu Wuyi sat down in front of the console and sunk his consciousness inward.
Fruit continues to rotate in Mental Space, and the tree-shaped pattern on the surface of the warm golden Crystal in the center of the annular inner ring continues to emit high-frequency pulses. And The signal of the Root System node is no longer just a pulse structure, it is continuously releasing a complete system framework to the entire Fruit pattern. The content of the framework is a complete system that he has never seen before but intuitively fits his own cultivation path.
In his inner vision, he followed the unfolding of the set of signals.
The signal starts from the Root System node on the surface of Crystal, extends along the Fruit pattern in the direction of Tree Trunk, and reaches the root of Tree Trunk It was automatically decomposed, absorbed, and integrated. After integration, the brightness of the texture at the root of Tree Trunk showed a significant improvement, but this improvement was different from any previous one. The structure of the texture itself was changing, as if it was based on the original structure.
A new frame layer is superimposed on top.
He observed the shape of the frame layer inwardly.
It consists of multiple mutually nested structural levels, starting from the Root System network at the bottom, extending upwards from the Tree Trunk main body, and bifurcating into multiple branches at the upper middle of Tree Trunk. The ends of the branches are evenly distributed with fine bright spots. There is a bright light spot in the center of Tree Canopy, and an equally bright light spot at the bottom of Tree Trunk.
The shape of the entire tree is completely presented in the texture on the surface of Tree Trunk, but this time the presentation method is no longer just a visual outline, it carries complete structural information—the function of each node, the direction of each connecting line, the rules of each branch, and the operating logic of each layer of structure, all of which are completely conveyed in the form of structural mapping.
He continued to receive the set of signals in his inner vision, allowing it to slowly unfold in his consciousness. The unfolding process lasted for a long time, from early morning to afternoon. When the last segment of the set of signals was fully unfolded in his consciousness, he saw a complete system in his inner vision. A set of frameworks takes "World Tree" as the core, and "Root System-Tree Trunk-Tree Canopy" corresponding to the three-layered cultivation path of "body-spirit-rules".
He observes the working logic of that framework inwardly.
The lowest Root System network corresponds to the physical body. Each branch of Root System corresponds to a Meridians in the cultivator's body, and every Root System Each node corresponds to a key position for the operation of Blood and Qi. The deeper the Root System is embedded and the denser the network, the more solid the foundation of the physical body and the higher the operating efficiency of Blood and Qi.
The main body of Tree Trunk in the middle corresponds to the spirit. Every inch of texture of Tree Trunk corresponds to a level of spiritual power of the cultivator. The clearer the texture and the more regular the structure, the higher the degree of concentration of mental power and the wider the range of perception.
The Tree Canopy at the top corresponds to a rule. Each branch of Tree Canopy corresponds to a rule mastered by the cultivator, and each bright spot at the end of the branch corresponds to a specific application of the rule. The more lush and dense the Tree Canopy is, the more rules it has mastered and the more flexible its application.
The core of the entire tree, the light spot at the center of Tree Canopy and the light spot at the bottom of Tree Trunk, correspond to the cultivator's Origin. The passage between the two light spots corresponds to the flow path of Origin between the physical body and the rules.
He observed the movement of the frame in his inner vision for a while, then exited the inner vision and opened his eyes.
He sat in front of the console for a while, then stood up and walked to the shelf next to the workbench.
The continuously pulsating light body outside the seam of Metal Box has undergone new changes in the past few hours. The arrangement of dark spots on the surface of the light body is exactly the same as the tree-shaped pattern on the surface of Crystal, but at this moment the distribution of those dark spots is changing. They are no longer just spots in a fixed position, but have begun to move slowly according to some fixed rules, as if completing some unformed pattern.
He put his palm close to the position of the light body, and his perception penetrated the outer layer of the light body.
At the moment of contact, a rapid fluctuation of brightness occurred on the surface of Fruit, and a more lasting resonance was formed between the surface texture of Fruit and the groove structure inside Metal Box. That resonance lasted It took him a few breaths to calm down, but he sensed that the groove structure inside Metal Box was establishing a clear correspondence with the tree pattern on the surface of Crystal. That correspondence was no longer a static mapping, but a dynamic synchronization.
He stood in front of the workbench for a while, then turned around and walked back to the console and sat down.
Li Yuan walked over from the side of the workbench and stood in front of the console. "In the light body outside the joint of Metal Box, dark spots have been moving continuously in the past few hours. There is a clear correspondence between the moving trajectory and the signal propagation path of the Root System node in the tree pattern on the surface of Crystal."
Xu Wuyi leaned on the back of the chair and unfolded a complete structural diagram of Li Yuan's description in his consciousness. The tree-shaped pattern on the surface of Crystal is interacting with the groove structure inside Metal Box, T-09 Star Realm Tree-Shaped Silhouette in Ji Tang's perception and Root System node in the territory network form a fourfold correspondence. And now the fourfold correspondence is evolving from static mapping to dynamic synchronization, as if in four different spaces, the same structure is being constructed, operated and evolved at the same time.
He sat in front of the console for a while, then stood up and walked towards the transmission channel leading to Zero Seven No. 3 Residence.
When he sat down on the tree stump, Zero Seven brought a cup of tea and placed it on the cross section of the tree stump.
He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, sensing the Crystal inside Fruit that was continuously sending signals, and the complete system framework transmitted from the Root System node in the complete tree pattern on its surface. He sat on the tree stump for a while, drank the tea, put it back on the stump section, then stood up and walked back to Cultivation Room.
He sat cross-legged on the mat and looked inwards.
The warm golden Crystal was steadily lighting up in the center of the inner ring of Fruit, and the tree-shaped pattern on the surface maintained a stable shape in the high-frequency pulse. And the complete system framework he had just received was on Fruit The interior unfolds slowly and steadily, layer by layer. Each layer of the frame is docking with the existing texture structure of Fruit. The docking process has no conflicts, no rejections, and no errors that need to be adjusted. It is like two completely compatible systems are completing the final merger.
He observed the merging process in the inner vision for a while, then exited the inner vision and settled in the darkness of Cultivation Room
Sit quietly for a while.
That evening, the number of people gathered on Eastern Meadow was much larger than usual. When dusk spread over the skyline, the grass was already filled with nearly 2,500 people. Later participants lined up in longer queues along the dirt road and under the shade of the trees at the edge of the grass. A warm golden halo covered a wider area than usual in the twilight, and the edge of the halo had extended to the east side of Main Street, forming a continuous glowing background with the warm golden street lights of Forging District.
Zhou Mingyuan stood at the door of the Assembly Hall and looked at the halo from a distance, sensing the Mental Byproduct released by those cores during the synchronous beating process. The total amount of those by-products reached a new peak, and the texture was uniform and pure. He stood at the door of the Assembly Hall for a while, then turned and walked back into the hall.
He opened a new record document on Data Pad on the side of the podium and wrote on it, "The number of people gathering at Eastern Meadow continues to grow, and the total by-product output increases simultaneously. This phenomenon shows that the core of the participants has formed a self-reinforcing feedback mechanism in long-term synchronous resonance."
After he finished writing that record, he turned off Data Pad and sat quietly next to the podium for a while. The halo in the direction of Eastern Meadow outside the window was slowly deepening in the dusk, and those warm golden light spots connected to form a continuous glowing background.
On the night of the T-09 Star Realm, Ji Tang sat alone on the rock. The night wind blew from the east ridge, making it cooler than the previous few days. But the layer on the surface of his core continued to be slightly warm and maintained a stable temperature in the night wind.
He closed his eyes and adjusted his core to the resonant frequency, feeling the sensation extending outward in a familiar direction. The warm feeling poured into his core the moment it touched the bright spot, and the flow was larger than the previous nights, and lasted longer.
The tree-like outline was completely present in his perception. The density of the horizontal connecting lines in the middle section of Tree Trunk has covered most of the surface of Tree Trunk, and the extent of its expansion to the upper and lower sections is more obvious than in the past few days. The mass in the middle section of Tree Trunk
The continuously bright light cluster is no longer an isolated bright spot in this perception. There are multiple smaller light spots around it. Those small light spots are centered on the main light cluster and form a dense cluster of light spots in the dense area of lateral connecting lines around it. The entire cluster of light spots presents a clear geometric shape on the surface of the middle section of Tree Trunk, as if some kind of structure is emerging from the inside of Tree Trunk.
While the feeling of warmth continued, he focused his perception on the surface of the cluster of light spots and tried to extend it into its interior. This time, he encountered almost no resistance when penetrating the outer layer, and his perception directly came into contact with the inner core. The temperature of the core was higher than that of the outer layer, and the texture was tighter. At the moment of contact, a set of clearer and more complete pulse sequences were transmitted to his perception than the previous ones.
This time the pulse sequence is no longer a simple coordinate pointing or path outline, it contains a new kind of information. It is like a complete set of spatial structure maps that are compressed and emitted in extremely short energy pulses. The content of the map is the complete growth process of a tree from seed to seedling, and the complete evolutionary path of the tree from seedling to towering.
He tracked the unfolding process of the set of spatial structure maps in his perception, and found that it was outlining a complete tree-shaped structure on the surface of Tree Trunk at an extremely fast speed. Starting from Root System, along Tree Trunk Extending upward, the upper part of Tree Trunk bifurcates into multiple branches. The ends of the branches are evenly distributed with fine bright spots. There is a bright light spot in the center of Tree Canopy, and an equally bright light spot at the bottom of Tree Trunk.
The shape of the entire tree lit up for a moment in the texture of Tree Trunk's surface, and then slowly dimmed as the warmth subsided. He sat on the rock for a while, and replayed the complete shape of the spatial structure diagram several times in his consciousness. Then he opened his eyes and stood up, and the night wind blew the edge of his clothes.
He walked down the viewing ramp, and when he met Zhang Boyuan at the turning point, he described the complete tree structure he had perceived tonight.
"This time the pulse sequence contains a complete tree growth map, as well as the tree's complete evolutionary path from seedling to towering." Ji Tang said, "From Root System to Tree Trunk to branches to Tree Canopy, all structural nodes are clearly presented. And it is not just a static map, it contains the direction of evolution—how each structural node will grow, expand, and change in the future is reflected in the map."
Zhang Boyuan stood at the turn of the slope and listened to his description, and was quiet for a moment in the night. "Can you draw the complete structure diagram and evolutionary path of this tree?"
"Yes." Ji Tang said, "This time the map is very clear. I can reproduce it completely on paper, including the annotation of the evolutionary path."
Zhang Boyuan nodded. "Draw now. After you finish the drawing, bring it to my room."
Ji Tang continued walking down the slope, walking much faster than usual. Zhang Boyuan stayed at the turning point of the slope and stood in the night wind for a while, then turned around and walked a few steps in the direction of Highlands. He squatted down next to the rock and put his palms on the rock surface. The temperature of the rock was a little higher than the previous nights, like After dozens of days of continuous contact, the rock had been heated to a higher baseline level by Ji Tang's core residual temperature. He squatted next to the rock for a while, feeling that the remaining temperature of the layer was moving outward at a slow rate Diffusion Rule, then stood up and walked back to Residence along the ramp.
Ji Tang spent nearly an hour in his room to draw the complete structure diagram and evolutionary path of the tree. He used a fine-tipped pen to outline the trunk outline of the tree on the paper, starting from Root System at the bottom and moving along Tree Trunk extends upward. The upper part of Tree Trunk bifurcates into multiple branches, and the ends of the branches are evenly distributed with fine bright spots. There is a bright light spot in the center of Tree Canopy, and an equally bright light spot at the bottom of Tree Trunk.
He made clear annotations next to each structural node and wrote the corresponding sensory details on the edge of the paper. He also used pens of different colors to mark the evolutionary path on the structural diagram - which nodes will expand in the near future and which nodes will continue to expand in the near future.
All information about mid-term growth and which nodes will be formed in the long term are fully presented on the graph.
After finishing the drawing, he picked up the paper and read it over, confirming that the complete structure of the tree was consistent with the shape he remembered in his perception. Then he stood up, opened the door, walked quickly through the gravel path of Residence, stopped in front of Zhang Boyuan's door and knocked twice.
Zhang Boyuan was still holding a teacup in his hand when he opened the door. When he saw the paper in Ji Tang's hand, he put the teacup back on the table behind him, turned sideways and let Ji Tang enter the room. Ji Tang unfolded the paper on the table, laid it flat under the light, then stepped back two steps, and let Zhang Boyuan stand alone in front of the structural diagram.
Zhang Boyuan looked down for a long time. His gaze started from Root System, moved upward along Tree Trunk, passed the bifurcation point, reached the end of the branch, and finally returned to the center of Tree Canopy and the bottom of Tree Trunk Two bright light spots. Then he marked the evolution paths of different colors and read them from beginning to end. He didn't say anything while watching, until after carefully going through every detail of the entire structure diagram, he raised his head, moved his eyes away from the paper, and landed on Ji Tang's face.
"The structure of this tree is completely consistent with Order Tree of Territory Core at the topological level. The light spot in the center of Tree Canopy, the light spot at the bottom of Tree Trunk, and the bright spot at the end of the branch Distribution, the density of transverse connection lines in the middle section of Tree Trunk, and all structural nodes have clear correspondences in topological coordinates. This tree is the extended mapping of Order Tree in the direction of the T-09 Star Realm."
He paused and focused his attention on the labels of the evolutionary paths again. "And these evolutionary paths are related to the Root System nodes in the Crystal surface tree pattern on the Lord side. The new system framework is completely consistent in the direction of structural evolution. Both sides receive different parts of the same system framework - you receive the structural map and evolution path, and Lord receives the function definition and operation logic."
Ji Tang stood at the table and went through the passage in his mind. "If both sides receive different parts of the same system framework, what is the complete form of this framework?"
Zhang Boyuan was quiet for a moment under the light. "It is a complete set of Cultivation System. A set that does not rely on the Star Alliance orthodox martial arts path, with World Tree as the core, from the foundation to Tree Canopy The fully integrated Cultivation System. Lord is receiving the operating logic of this system, and what you are receiving is the structural diagram of this system. When the information from both sides is connected, the complete framework of this system will be fully displayed in the territory's network."
He gently folded the paper in half and handed it back to Ji Tang: "Keep the original. If there are any changes in the perceived structure or evolutionary path, come back to me."
Ji Tang took the paper, nodded, turned and walked out of the room. His footsteps gradually faded away on the gravel path, becoming lighter and lighter in the night, until they were completely covered by the distant night wind.
In the early morning of the 43rd day of Territory Core, when Xu Wuyi walked out of Cultivation Room, he sensed the new changes taking place in the Crystal inside Fruit.
In the past few hours, its surface texture no longer just continued to emit high-frequency pulses, but began to actively send out a brand-new signal. The waveform of that signal was more complex than ever before, and the information density reached a new level. When he sat down on the tree stump, Zero Seven brought a cup of tea and placed it on the cross section of the tree stump.
He picked up the teacup and took a sip, sensing the Crystal inside Fruit that was continuously sending signals, and the complete system framework transmitted from the Root System node in the complete tree pattern on its surface. He sat on the tree stump for a while, drank the tea, put it back on the stump section, then stood up and walked back to the Core Residence hall.
When he sat down in front of the console, the ghost of Zero One lit up on the side. "The signal emission of Crystal inside Lord and Fruit has appeared new frequency components in the past two hours. The signal waveform contains complete system framework information, and the information density has reached several times the previous peak."
Xu Wuyi sat in front of the console for a while, going through the data in his mind. The complete system framework information - this means that Crystal is continuously transmitting the complete framework of Ancient God Method outwards, no longer just to Xu Wuyi himself, but to the entire territory network, in the direction of the T-09 Star Realm, and to all nodes connected to the network.
He sat in front of the console for a while, then stood up and walked to the shelf next to the workbench. The continuously pulsating light body outside the joint of Metal Box has undergone new changes in the past few hours. The arrangement of dark spots on the surface of the light body is no longer just moving slowly, they are continuing to run in a clear trajectory, and the running trajectory is exactly the same as the signal propagation path of the Root System node in the tree pattern on the surface of Crystal.
He put his palm close to the position of the light body, and his perception penetrated the outer layer of the light body. At the moment of contact, a rapid brightness fluctuation occurred on the surface of Fruit, forming a more lasting resonance with the groove structure inside Metal Box than ever before. Ming. The resonance lasted for several breaths before it subsided on its own, but he felt that the groove structure inside Metal Box was establishing a dynamic synchronization relationship with the tree pattern on the surface of Crystal. That synchronization relationship was no longer just a correspondence at the structural level, but a connection at the functional level.
He stood in front of the workbench for a while, then turned around and walked back to the console and sat down.
Li Yuan walked over from the side of the workbench and stood in front of the console. "Metal Box In the light body outside the joint, the dark spots have completed the complete synchronization with the tree pattern on the surface of Crystal in the past few hours.. The arrangement of dark spots on the surface of the light body is exactly the same as the tree pattern on the surface of Crystal, and the running trajectory is also completely consistent. The bridge is completely transforming from a passive channel to an active structure, and it is becoming part of the Ancient God Method system."
Xu Wuyi leaned back in his chair and unfolded a complete structural diagram of the description of Li Yuan in his mind. The Order Tree of Territory Core is one point, and the Believer Node of the T-09 Star Realm is another point. The bridge that has completed the docking is continuing to expand its width and capacity between the two points. And now the bridge is no longer just passively transmitting signals, it is actively transmitting
It emits pulses with the same frequency as both ends, as if the bridge itself is becoming an independent signal source.
