Drawing conclusions and viewpoints from existing knowledge systems doesn't qualify as genius; it simply means having a thorough understanding of the knowledge one possesses.
A true genius is someone who, even when seemingly penniless, can still Xingkong and forge a path.
Li Xingkong never considered himself a genius.
But at this moment, he felt as if he had truly reached a point where he had nowhere to go.
Where can we find inspiration to take ourselves to the next level?
Li Xingkong's mind raced, and all the Hexagram seemed like tentacles reaching into Li Xingkong memory, as if trying to crush and chew them up, trying to extract some inspiration from them.
Li Xingkong all the knowledge points related to space, scrutinizing each word repeatedly until he could no longer extract anything from them.
But clearly, simply focusing on existing things over and over again won't bring about any new breakthroughs.
The divination power of the Hexagram is very strong, and its logical reasoning ability is absolutely top-notch. If it could really deduce anything, it would have already presented the conclusions it could draw.
If a conclusion cannot be drawn from Hexagram, then no matter how much effort is put into it, it is still a waste of time.
Should we just give up like this?
Of course not!
Although he had exhausted all existing theoretical bases, Li Xingkong also possessed a wealth of experience in other fields besides space-related knowledge.
There's a word that says it well.
Learn by analogy and apply knowledge to other situations.
Li Xingkong planned to try to extract similarities from these completely unrelated memories and then concretize them into space-related theories.
Although this idea may seem outlandish, humans have actually been doing something similar for a long time.
Philosophy, in essence, is a theoretical system of guidelines derived from the laws and rules governing all things.
What Li Xingkong needs to do now is to extract universal thinking, equivalent to philosophy, from the knowledge he has acquired in other fields, and then use this thinking to apply it to the field of space, boldly hypothesizing new conjectures.
As for how to prove such a conjecture, Li Xingkong already had an idea.
Isn't the Thousand Mountains Method used for error correction?
Although the experiment took a long time, it doesn't mean that the Thousand Mountains Method is unusable.
He could have used the Thousand Mountains Method" to split off Thousand Mountains Body to verify the theory until he found the correct one.
As for how to get Thousand Mountains Body to start the verification while under the surveillance of Wan Chongshan, that's even simpler.
Wan Chongshan only forbade him from seeing Guapilong, he didn't imprison him. It was just an experiment, what couldn't be done?
Having made up his mind, Li Xingkong revealed all his memories, and then used his Divine Sense to guide the Hexagram, beginning a step-by-step deduction.
For the first time, Li Xingkong experienced what enlightenment meant.
Enlightenment, in essence, is finding a way out where it is impossible to find it, drawing inspiration from all things in the world.
Mountains, water, wind, clouds—no one knows where the next spark of inspiration will ignite.
Li Xingkong carefully recalled every day from the time he could remember until now, extracting and analyzing every detail from the Hexagram.
Li Xingkong did indeed gain a great deal from these seemingly unrelated matters.
However, these findings are still theoretical and have not been verified, so they cannot be directly applied to models yet.
Nearly a year later, Li Xingkong completed the extraction and analysis of all his memories.
During this period, various conjectures were combined and organized to form dozens of modules that needed to be proven.
These modules are logically interconnected; all that's missing is a proof: if one point is true, all points are true; if one point is false, the entire module is false.
Without much thought, Li Xingkong began to unleash the Thousand Mountains Method.
Meanwhile, outside the time acceleration zone, the system was already getting a little impatient.
One year outside is equivalent to tens of thousands of years inside.
Li Xingkong's entire lifespan in cultivation has not been as long as the time he spent in this seclusion.
"I said, won't he get bored if he keeps practicing like this?"
The system couldn't hold back any longer. Although it had allowed Li Xingkong freely before, he would at least get some fresh air from time to time.
This time is different; this time, he truly didn't exhale a single breath during his cultivation.
Even the system doubts whether Li Xingkong remembers how to speak after emerging from seclusion.
It has been too long, long enough for a primitive civilization to have ventured into the universe.
"Don't you understand him? Forget ten thousand years, I'd bet you, in his current state, he could cultivate for a lifetime."
Wan Chongshan seemed to have an exceptional understanding of Li Xingkong, and his words were filled with absolute certainty.
"Has that kid gone mad? And his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul doesn't seem right to me at all; there shouldn't have been any progress for so long!"
Speaking of this, the system looked completely bewildered. According to the information and Nascent Soul Formation method given to it, this guy shouldn't have been stuck for so long.
Did he really damage his brain in some way?
I've only been in custody for a short time, and this kid is already in trouble. He's such a worry.
The system may not have figured out the problem, but that doesn't mean Wan Chongshan doesn't know either.
This scene was entirely her doing; how could she not have thought of it?
However, the original purpose of locking Li Xingkong was to prevent him from interfering in what was happening. He had gone down a dead end, so it was good that he had something to do.
"You said this guy is just an ordinary person, why did you choose him?"
Seemingly finding sitting idly a bit boring, Wan Chongshan started teasing the system again.
"There's no reason why, it's probably just fate."
Li Xingkong had asked it this question many times before, and at the time the system felt that its answer was already quite perfect.
But now, it seems to have some doubts.
There's no other reason than that Wan Chongshan is just too strong.
She's so powerful that she can freely travel between timelines and arbitrarily alter the past and future.
The system couldn't guarantee whether its choice of Li Xingkong was due to luck or whether she had been secretly involved.
What's even stranger is that, with its guidance and that of Wan Chongshan, Li Xingkong and even his transcendence of the world should have been a certainty. But what we see now is Wan Chongshan jumping around, as if Li Xingkong's future self doesn't exist.
There must be some hidden story behind this.
The system couldn't figure it out, and it was too lazy to even try.
After all, if it starts using its brain, why would it still support its host?
From the system's perspective, Li Xingkong is a student, a disciple, and, more importantly, an outstanding researcher cultivated by the system itself.
After transcending, he will definitely join the development team of the System Matriarch, without a doubt.
Although Wan Chongshan's intervention may have given Li Xingkong more options after his transcendence, he should never have disappeared without a trace.
