Everyone Knows the Images in a Recording Stone Cannot Be Tampered With

"That's right, it's definitely that figure. There's no mistake about either the flying boat or the voice!"

"The Source Water Spirit Crystal have actually appeared beneath that rift valley in the Eastern Region? And how many of them must there be to elicit such a strong reaction from the Holy Lord of the mighty Cloud Heaven Holy Land?"

"The Star Moon Holy Land's intelligence gathering capabilities are impressive; they've even managed to obtain such crucial information. It seems they really are from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land!"

The image is short, but it is presented very clearly.

If this person wasn't from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, how could they directly enter the core area?

If the Cloud Heaven Holy Land didn't know, how could the Holy Lord and many elders have waited in advance?

Furthermore, as soon as he disembarked from the flying boat, he gave the storage ring to Huang Yunya.

If this isn't just a task to complete, what is it?!

Hearing is unreliable, seeing is believing.

The scene captured in this photographic stone is now sufficient proof of everything.

Below, many disciples of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land wore complex expressions.

"What is the Holy Land doing? Why is it provoking so many powerful forces at once?"

"I never expected there would be a traitor among the sect's important elders. Even such an important matter has fallen into the hands of other forces. They really can't keep secrets."

"Source Water Spirit Crystal, I remember they were extremely valuable, and there are so many of them, these forces probably won't leave. Holy Lord, really, why would you even mention something like this?"

Compared to the uninformed public.

Those in the know, including Huang Yunya, felt an indescribable mix of emotions at this moment.

The scene is accurate, but it lacks so much.

Huang Yunya immediately spoke up:

"This image-recording stone has definitely been tampered with; your Star Moon Holy Land is deliberately slandering us!"

"Exactly," an elder echoed.

"This isn't a photo stone; it must be an illusion created intentionally."

"How can you, Star Moon Holy Land, act so despicably!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Kun snorted coldly:

"I am Saint, why would I need to make false accusations? I can tell whether it is a real photographic stone or not."

"Absolutely impossible!" Huang Yunya retorted sharply.

"Amitabha," Huairen said, looking towards Huang Yunya.

"The image captured by the photo stone is different from the illusion presented by the viewer."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

It is indeed not difficult to distinguish between the two.

What Zhou Kun held and displayed was indeed left by the photographic stone.

Huang Yunya stared intently at the recording stone and roared:

"The image in this photographic stone has been tampered with; much of it is missing!"

The images and scenes are real, but incomplete; they are intentionally misleading!

This remark immediately drew a burst of laughter.

"Listen to what you're saying! You're so desperate to deny it that you're resorting to any kind of nonsense."

"Exactly, exactly. As everyone knows, the reason why the recording stone is so reliable is because the scene it records cannot be altered by external forces."

"Yes, even if it's said that the beginning or the end is missing, it would be more convincing. But saying it's in the middle is just too much. A recording stone is used once to record a continuous period of time, so it's impossible to stop and continue halfway through."

"Is this Cloud Heaven Holy Land trying to fool us like we're three-year-olds? They have the guts to do it, but not the guts to admit it, and they still have the nerve to call themselves a holy land?"

This time, the public's reaction was far greater than before.

A photo recorder is for single use only and cannot be discontinued. Once recorded, it cannot be altered except by destruction. These are common sense facts.

Huang Yunya's words are tantamount to challenging well-known common sense.

In short, this is utterly absurd and utterly erroneous!

At this moment, Huairen looked towards the direction of the Extreme Arms Holy Land and spoke:

"May I ask, Saint King Jiang, is there any miraculous means in the world that can alter the image left by the Image Retention Stone?"

The moment the name "Saint King Jiang" was uttered, the noisy world fell silent instantly.

The elders of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land were twitching their faces incessantly.

The Northern Region's Number One Saber from the Extreme Arms Holy Land has stepped into the Saint King Realm?!

Whether it was shock or disbelief, not a single person uttered a sound.

The living Saint King, even just his name, possesses absolute power of awe.

Countless eyes turned towards the location of the Extreme Arms Holy Land, awaiting Jiang Yuanyin's answer.

"I have never heard of such a thing."

Jiang Yuanyin spoke slowly.

It is common sense, and something even Saint King had never heard of.

The photo stone cannot be tampered with; this is its absolute authority.

"Master Huang, do you still wish to continue your defense?"

Zhou Kun spoke up, adding fuel to the fire at the opportune moment.

Let alone the fact that this is impossible, even if it were possible, now that the Saint King has spoken, would anyone dare to stand up and refute it?

The truth is, Huang Yunya didn't dare.

How to defend myself?

Is it fair to question a Saint King's limited knowledge?

He's not stupid; he knows that doing something so reckless could have far more terrible consequences than the original plan itself.

Beside Huang Yunya, the other elders also wore bitter expressions.

What else can be said at this moment?

What good is experiencing the truth firsthand?

It only adds to the frustration.

"Whom has my Cloud Heaven Holy Land offended to be targeted like this?"

Feeling frustrated, one of the elders couldn't help but sigh.

Which particular instance of mishandling a task resulted in this trouble?

After much deliberation, no conclusion was reached.

One day later.

On Hidden Origin Peak, Lu Changzhi looked at the latest news about the Cloud Heaven Holy Land with a surprised expression.

"With such a strong reaction, can't the contents of the recording stone really be changed?"

As he spoke, Lu Changzhi looked at Cang Wenyu.

Cang Wenyu was taken aback, glanced at Lu Changzhi with a puzzled look, then seemed to realize something and said:

"As the world knows, it is indeed impossible to do. However, judging from your reaction, the ancestors must know the truth."

In fact, even he thought it was unlikely.

But if it was made by our ancestor, then perhaps it's possible.

"It seems this secret is of a high level."

Lu Changzhi's expression shifted, and he set off to find Gu Qingyang to inquire about the matter.

Otherwise, he would have thought that what the recording stone recorded was like the video recordings from his previous life, something that could be manipulated at will.

"Originally, it was indeed impossible to change it, until later a highly capable patriarch emerged in the sect and found a way to modify it."

"However, it's quite difficult and has very strict requirements, so it's generally only used in crucial moments."

Gu Qingyang answered with a smile, and then added:

"You should already know the details of this matter. The other elders also wanted to use this incident to demonstrate to you a concept proposed by one of their ancestors."

After a pause, Gu Qingyang looked at Lu Changzhi and slowly said:

Your understanding of the world can be shaped.

Lu Changzhi's gaze faltered, recalling the matter of the Mystic One Sect, and he seemed to be deep in thought.

After a moment of silence, Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment and said:

"Is the Old Ancestor Gu saying that the content in the memory stone is unchangeable and was intentionally created?"

Gu Qingyang nodded:

"Initially, the idea that something is unchangeable was the true understanding, but once the ancestor discovered the method of change, the idea that something is unchangeable became a false understanding."

"By intentionally maintaining and reinforcing this false understanding, it will become the reality for the world. When this understanding is accepted by the world as common sense that doesn't require questioning its truth or falsehood, then the creation has been successful."

"A mindset that shapes success can be used to one's own advantage."

Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and tentatively said:

"So it's about using methods to make people accept a certain understanding as common sense, without questioning its truth or falsehood."

"Like this incident, they don't doubt whether the recording stone is truly unalterable. They simply follow the common sense that a tampered recording stone is immutable, taking the altered stone as irrefutable evidence, and conversely finding Huang Yunya's speculation laughable."

As he spoke, Lu Changzhi's gaze sharpened:

"Following this line of thinking, if something has extremely high value, as long as one has enough power to make the world generally believe that this thing is worthless, or even harmful, then when this thing appears, not only will there be no need to worry about competition, but one can even profit from it under the guise of eliminating harm."

By the end, Gu Qingyang had gasped in shock, staring at Lu Changzhi as if he'd seen a ghost:

"You understood it in such a short time, and you can even apply it to other situations. Just what kind of monster are you, Changzhi?!"

Lu Changzhi shook his head.

He simply drew his own experience into understanding this principle.

Previously, the Blood Devil's lair was located there. He himself said that the items in the Devil Sect's storage ring would corrupt anyone who came into contact with Devil Qi.

Afterwards, the powerful figures from Cloud Heaven Holy Land and Mystic One Sect not only promptly handed over their storage rings to him, but also thanked him for the reminder.

Of course, if only one person is being shaped into a perception, it can be called deception.

As long as you convince the other party that you are truly lame, you can sell them a crutch.

"Our ancestor was truly remarkable," Lu Changzhi exclaimed.

"To be able to put forward such a reasoning."

Understanding principles by observing events is easy, but deriving principles from events is by no means easy.

"Yes."

Speaking of this, Gu Qingyang also sighed and looked up outside:

"The patriarch of our sect is truly like a star in the sky."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi's lips twitched:

"Old Ancestor Gu, you're not talking about quantity, are you...?"
