Therefore, even after reaching the Foundation Establishment, daily learning and knowledge accumulation are still essential.
For example, if two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators clash and start fighting, and one cultivator specializes in spatial attacks while the other is completely unaware of them, then even if the other cultivator fully opens their Divine Sense, they will not be able to understand the other's attack methods or even detect them. In this situation, let alone fight back, they will not even be able to defend themselves.
If he has relevant knowledge and understands the relative theory of spatial attacks, then his Divine Sense will notice the anomaly in this area during the scan, thus enabling him to effectively respond to such attacks.
Therefore, some people jokingly say that the battle between Foundation Establishment cultivators is a contest of knowledge. As long as you discover the weaknesses in your opponent's knowledge in advance, you will basically have victory in your grasp.
However, Li Xingkong has not encountered any other Foundation Establishment cultivators at the moment. He has also learned about the attack methods on Earth Star. Moreover, the current weapon attack methods on Earth Star are very simple. They either rely on kinetic energy to smash, or on explosions, or on various poisonous gases, sonic attacks, vibration resonance, etc. Although Li Xingkong has not seen many of these methods, he still has a basic understanding of their principles.
With a certain level of understanding, one's Divine Sense can capture the form of this attack and thus reveal it to Li Xingkong's perception.
Expanding one's knowledge base is a long-term goal on the entire path of cultivation, and it cannot be achieved in a short time. As civilization develops and cultivation progresses, the knowledge he can access will only increase and increase, without end.
This is something you'll do for a lifetime; there's no such thing as a perfect ending.
Trying to use synesthesia, Li Xingkong scanned his simple cave dwelling from top to bottom. As his eyes swept across it, the structure of the cave dwelling naturally appeared in his mind. Originally, he would have had to put some effort into modeling it in his mind, but now what he saw was immediately converted into what he got.
Even details he wouldn't normally notice are now appearing in the model forming in his mind.
This Divine Sense Seed is truly useful; it's like giving your brain an enhanced version of an assistive device.
It used to feel like my brain was running naked, but now it's like I'm wearing Iron Man's armor. This kind of revolutionary upgrade makes it feel even more amazing when I use it.
Moreover, Li Xingkong's current Divine Sense Seed is only at the initial stage, and his Divine Sense cannot leave his body yet. His perception of the outside world still relies on the senses after synesthesia. Li Xingkong doesn't even dare to imagine what the world will look like in his eyes after his Divine Sense grows stronger.
After trying it a few more times, Li Xingkong did not break through the barrier directly, since his goal this time was to enter the Foundation Establishment.
The cultivation of this Divine Sense Seed can only be considered as half of the entry into the Foundation Establishment Method. To truly enter the Foundation Establishment stage, he still needs to cultivate the part of the Foundation Establishment Method related to computational power.
In the " Heavenly Evolution Foundation Establishment Method," the improvement of computing power is presented through a language system and structure called "Yi."
The theory in the Book of Changes (易经) is very similar to that of Taiji (太极), which generates Yin and Yang (两仪), Yin and Yang generate the Four Symbols (四象), and the Four Symbols generate the Eight Trigrams (八卦). This language system called Yi can be seen as a programming language formed on the basis of the Eight Trigrams.
The programming languages used in our society today are diverse, but their underlying logic is all binary. The reason it is binary is because electrical signals only have two states: energized and de-energized.
To convert language into signals for communication, we rely on controlling the interruption of signals to form different combinations, and through these different combinations, we can express different meanings.
Within this Yi system, the particles that constitute the microscopic world are divided into eight types. To some extent, these eight particles can be said to be indivisible and are the cornerstone of this stable world.
What Li Xingkong needed to do was to use this system and structure to construct his first Hexagram around his own Divine Sense Seed.
The Hexagram here can be simply understood as a supercomputer, except that it is a very microscopic structure, small enough to be built into a single cell.
The world's fastest supercomputer today can perform calculations at a speed of 1 exaflop, or 10 to the power of 18 floating-point operations per second.
This speed is so high that it requires a specialized unit of large numbers, far exceeding the various units of numbers we commonly use. The unit of one hundred million is not even worth mentioning in this case.
Modern supercomputers are still developing, and each breakthrough brings speed increases of tens of thousands or even millions of times. This magnitude of improvement is something even novelists wouldn't dare to imagine.
The results that took the previous generation of supercomputers 200 years to produce may be completed in 2 minutes by the next generation of supercomputers. This is not a fantasy; it is something that is actually happening in the real world.
The Hexagram that Li Xingkong wants to construct is a structure similar to a supercomputer. It will be used to assist the Divine Sense Seed, analyze knowledge, enhance perception, strengthen Divine Sense, and provide great help in many ways.
Without forming Hexagram, one can only be considered halfway through the Foundation Establishment. Only when the first Hexagram is formed can one be considered to have truly entered the gate of Foundation Establishment.
Constructing Hexagram is not difficult in itself, as the Foundation Establishment Method already provides ready-made methods and structures. However, it is not simple either, as its complex structure and intricate design make it a micro-project even from the perspective of Spiritual Qi.
Compared to the Divine Sense Seed, the construction of this Hexagram is obviously much more difficult.
It's no wonder that one must first cultivate Divine Sense before considering constructing Hexagram. Even with his level of control over himself at the Qi Refining stage, it would be difficult for him to construct a complete Hexagram without any errors.
Only after cultivating this Divine Sense Seed was he able to barely grasp the basic conditions for constructing Hexagram.
The construction of Hexagram is not something that can be completed in just a few days. Before construction, he needs to prepare the components that make up the two parts of the Hexagram.
One part involves the hexagrams, which are the core structures of Hexagram calculations. These are the basic units that make up the Hexagram, and can also be seen as the modules used by the Hexagram for calculations.
The other part is the hexagram, which serves as a connector, much like the wires connecting different circuits.
The importance of these two is self-evident; they are like bricks and cement in construction, or pots and rice in a cook's hands. Neither can be dispensed with.
To construct a complete Hexagram, the most basic two elements—the hexagram lines and their corresponding trigrams—must be built. This is the first and most important step.
