Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity
Dong Zhongshu did not teach Zhang Xuezhou the art of learning.
However, when Dong Zhongshu presented the "Treatise on the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity," he had Zhang Xuezhou assist him, which allowed Zhang Xuezhou to glimpse the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity.
This was indeed Dong Zhongshu's skill in making a living.
As long as he was in a state of Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity, Dong Zhongshu had the ability to fill the gaps in Confucian School, thereby enabling him to exert the normal abilities of other schools of thought, and even to reach a higher level in certain skills.
This can also be applied to sportsmanship.
Normal cultivation techniques could not possibly grant one the ability to rival an emperor, but Dong Zhongshu's Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity could potentially bridge that gap.
This also made Zhang Xuezhou understand why Dong Zhongshu sought out the King of Jiangdu to promote the magic technique.
Without needing to directly enter the imperial court, Dong Zhongshu could achieve advancement in his fortune-telling through the influence of the King of Jiangdu, and even achieve better results through the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity, which was no less effective than seeking to promote fortune-telling through the emperor in the imperial court.
Dong Zhongshu did not expect to reach any extreme in his cultivation techniques. He only wanted to use them to provide a sufficient boost before stopping, and he was already trying his best to reduce the harm that his cultivation techniques would cause to the new emperor.
It must be said that this aligns well with Zhang Xuezhou's impression of Dong Zhongshu's character and also clarifies why Dong Zhongshu did not teach him about his martial arts.
If Zhang Xuezhou's guess is correct, once Dong Zhongshu breaks through the threshold, the other party will most likely lend a helping hand to Zhang Xuezhou, thus helping Zhang Xuezhou to move forward, and Zhang Xuezhou will not need to rely on luck to seek fortuitous opportunity.
This was Dong Zhongshu's plan, but not Zhang Xuezhou's.
His eyes gleamed slightly as he stared intently at the words written by Dong Zhongshu.
If asked what constitutes the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity, Zhang Xuezhou believes that the "Treatise on Righteousness and Righteousness" he previously studied with Dong Zhongshu is a type of Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity. When reciting it, one senses various free-floating energies in the sky, thereby achieving a rapid recovery of one's internal Law Power.
The "Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity) expands this concept to almost every aspect, including Technique Method, martial arts, and even movement techniques. Effectively promoting these techniques can lead to greater abilities.
Simply put, this is a comprehensive enhancement factor that can make a person stronger.
Its power is so great that even the "Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity) has unbearable flaws.
The first point is how to seek out the connection.
Zhang Xuezhou reciting "The Righteous Spirit" is an example; ultimately, only a minority of people can gain the ability to restore their Law Power through recitation.
The second factor is something that most people will find difficult to accept, namely, the need for adjustment in the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity.
When Dong Zhongshu himself used this method, he needed to adjust his state of mind, which could take a long or short time, and he might even have difficulty entering a state of Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity.
If it's difficult to enter a state of heightened awareness, trying this on the battlefield would have resulted in being killed ten or eight times over.
However, if one can quickly enter a state of heightened awareness, it becomes possible to turn the tables on a powerful enemy.
This was Dong Zhongshu's trump card, but it wasn't something anyone could learn. Even Gongsun Hong, who was watching from the side, frowned repeatedly.
What Zhang Xuezhou could think of, Gongsun Hong could also think of.
Mastering this skill is not easy, and applying it well is even more difficult.
However, Gongsun Hong must admit that Dong Zhongshu's research effectively filled the gap in Confucian School's ability to encompass a wide range of ideas compared to other schools of thought.
"Zhongshu, can your 'Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity' from the 'Luxuriant Dew of the Spring and Autumn Annals' be used to leverage power for breakthroughs in cultivation?" Gongsun Hong asked.
"It's feasible," Dong Zhongshu nodded, "But it can only be used as a supplementary method. It can add a helping hand, but you can't rely entirely on the connection between Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity to break through your cultivation level!"
"You've made a huge contribution to breaking through to a higher realm!" Gongsun Hong exclaimed. "If one achieves harmony Unity of Celestial Person and Heaven when breaking through to a higher realm, wouldn't that increase the probability of breaking through!"
"It has some effect!"
Dong Zhongshu nodded.
This was the result of his practical experience. Dong Zhongshu was not modest; if it was there, it was there; if it wasn't, it wasn't.
The Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity Treatise only addresses one aspect of breaking through cultivation realms, but this ability offers a new path for those stuck at their current cultivation level.
Although even if one succeeds in cultivating, it doesn't guarantee a breakthrough in cultivation level, it is at least a glimmer of hope.
Some people might just be missing that one spark, or perhaps it could increase their chances of breaking through to a higher realm from 50% to 60%, making the breakthrough even more probable.
However, while the success rate may increase, whether one can enter the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity during a cultivation breakthrough, and whether one can actually cultivate this ability, is another matter entirely.
"So, if one breaks through to a higher realm on a whim but lacks the time to enter the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity,' even if one learns ' Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity,' it can't be used for calculation. Zhongshu, your method..."
When one's cultivation level is low, one's realm is still under control, and one roughly knows when one can break through. However, when one's cultivation level is high, breaking through is a matter of fate, and the best tool to rely on is still elixirs.
In the short processing time, only pills could be put into the mouth to increase the probability of a breakthrough.
Dong Zhongshu's "Treatise on the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity" is excellent, but it is difficult for people to truly and effectively apply it.
"Only by cultivating to the point where a single thought can Jieyin one to heaven can one achieve anything one desires," Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity Zhang Xuezhou concluded.
"That makes sense," Dong Zhongshu nodded. "I'm also learning as I go in this field. The current draft is in its early stages, and it's difficult to achieve the level of 'a thought arises in an instant,' as you described. It will take a long time to perfect it!"
"I see!
Zhang Xuezhou nodded, understanding Dong Zhongshu's intentions regarding tactics.
The methods of cultivation were already in Dong Zhongshu's mind. This involved the vast knowledge of Confucian School, as well as the cultivation techniques of Yin and Yang realms and the Yang Soul Transformation Technique taught by Zhang Xuezhou. How to integrate them into a unified whole and propel them upward would require a spark.
If one were to promote the practice of exercise and put oneself in optimal condition, Dong Zhongshu might be able to unify his body with his physical form.
Only when his luck was exceptionally good could Dong Zhongshu be certain that he might enter the realm of Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity during a breakthrough, thus completing all of this and even propelling himself into the True Self Realm.
"For ordinary people, cultivating the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity is extremely difficult, but Your Majesty is the ruler of a nation. He is a person who has accumulated great fortune, so the difficulty of cultivating it will be lower than for us. Perhaps one day you will be able to use the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity," Dong Zhongshu said. "As the culmination of my life's work, and since it all has some use, Your Majesty should still have some interest in learning it."
"Zhongshu is absolutely right!"
Gongsun Hong nodded.
If anyone could achieve the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity with a single thought, aside from the originator Dong Zhongshu, those who gather great fortune might have an even higher chance.
Gongsun Hong admired Dong Zhongshu for being able to create such a doctrine, but he also had to admit that even if he studied it seriously, he would hardly be able to use it in his lifetime; he could only learn it and try his luck.
Of course, if it's not used alone to insert Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity at the moment of a breakthrough in realm, Gongsun Hong felt that it would be more effective for some Technique Method with a longer duration.
Examples include flying, walking on water, and Incantation Technique.
If the spell takes a long time to cast, the caster can calmly seek Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity before casting the spell, thus achieving better results.
In this situation, even if the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity fails, it will not bring any backlash.
After Gongsun Hong's reminder, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the ability of the "Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity) was perfect for him.
As a cultivator, Zhang Xuezhou was never a master of direct combat.
He can fly, charge, and fight, but Zhang Xuezhou is more accustomed to defeating his opponents by escaping, ambushing, plotting, and Curse from behind.
Some of his opponents died without ever knowing the true cause of their deaths.
With the "Treatise on the Resonance Between Heaven and Humanity" in hand, Zhang Xuezhou's many abilities could undoubtedly be further enhanced.
