Chapter 3: The Heavenly Emperor's Scripture! Cultivation System!
Jiang Yu stood there for a while before slowly breaking free from that unreal, dazed feeling.
The warm touch of the jade slip in her hand, the heavy storage bag in her pocket, and the vast, star-like cultivation method in her mind, titled "The Heavenly Emperor Scripture," all reminded her that what had just happened was not a dream, not an illusion, and certainly not some carefully crafted script.
Her brother, Jiang Feng, has really come back.
In a way that was beyond her comprehension.
She walked to the phone stand and looked at the rapidly scrolling comments on the screen. The words "script," "actors," and "anti-counterfeiting" were particularly glaring.
But at this moment, she felt no anger at being misunderstood or any urgency to defend herself; instead, she felt a strange calm.
She knew they wouldn't believe it, just as if this had happened to someone else, she herself would be the one laughing the loudest in the comments.
The truth can sometimes be incredibly hard to accept, especially when it completely overturns all your common sense.
But... so what?
Jiang Yu took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
She didn't turn off the live stream or look at the comments anymore. Instead, she found a relatively clean cement countertop and sat down, leaning against the cold wall.
She now needs to sort things out and, more importantly, confirm what her brother's gift to her really means.
She closed her eyes and focused her attention deep within her mind.
The opening of the "Heavenly Emperor Scripture" appears as clearly as a brand.
There are no complicated introductions, no mysterious legends; it gets straight to the point.
"The Secret Realm of the Sea of Wheels, the beginning of the Dao Foundation. The Wheel of Life is hidden three inches below the navel, the origin of human life, and also the root of suffering in the sea of torment..."
Jiang Yu read on word by word, and her mood gradually changed from initial shock and confusion to focus, and even a kind of unbelievable excitement.
According to the scriptures, there is a point of origin for life below the navel, which is the source of vitality, but it is also like a sea of suffering shrouded in mist, where one is shackled by worldly ties.
The first step in spiritual practice is to sense this origin point, and then guide a wisp of energy using the special breathing and visualization methods recorded in the scriptures.
According to the annotations her brother left in her consciousness, the spiritual energy on Blue Star was so thin that it was almost non-existent. In the early stages, she needed to rely on the pure life essence contained in the source stones to impact and tear apart the chaos at the origin, forcibly creating a sea of suffering that belonged to her.
Once the sea of suffering is successfully opened, it means that one has officially stepped into the first threshold of the path of cultivation—the sea of suffering realm.
The most basic life force is born, thus breaking free from the shackles of a purely mortal body.
They are less susceptible to common diseases, and their physical strength, speed, reaction time, and endurance will far exceed the limits of ordinary humans.
Beside the scripture were more specific notes left by her brother, seemingly a reference standard specially prepared for her, a "beginner" and "human".
"The sea of suffering is opened based on the Heavenly Emperor Scripture, and its foundation far surpasses that of ordinary cultivation methods. When it is first completed, spiritual power nourishes the whole body, the physique is transformed, and the pure physical strength explodes... reaching about three thousand catties."
Three thousand catties?
Jiang Yu suddenly opened her eyes, her heart pounding wildly.
She subconsciously clenched her fist.
She was slender, not particularly delicate due to years of doing odd jobs, but by all accounts, she didn't look like someone who could unleash the power of three thousand pounds.
What does 3,000 jin mean? It's 1,500 kilograms!
A professional heavyweight boxing champion's full-force punch is only about 800 to 1000 jin (400-500 kg), which is already terrifying inhuman strength in the eyes of ordinary people.
Three thousand jin...that's almost three or four times the weight of a top boxing champion!
Equivalent to the force of a full-force pounce by a strong, adult tiger? No, it might be even stronger!
How is that possible?
Her rationality, and the skeptical instinct she had developed as a debunking anchor, almost made her want to jump out and loudly refute.
This contradicted all the common sense she knew about biology and physics.
The human body's muscles and bones simply cannot withstand or unleash this level of power, unless it's a superhero in a movie.
but……
The one who said this was the older brother who had just vanished into thin air.
It was the older brother who left behind the magical jade slip and storage bag.
It was that older brother whose eyes held the weight of a thousand years of vicissitudes.
Jiang Yu's "occupational hazard" only made her instinctively feel surprised and incredulous, but deep down, she did not doubt that her brother was lying to her.
Her brother had no reason to deceive her in this way, and even less reason to leave behind such a detailed, mysterious, yet self-consistent "technique" to weave a lie.
She just... needs a little time to process this shocking "standard".
She turned her gaze back to her phone screen.
In just a short while, the number of viewers in the live stream had exceeded one thousand, and it was still slowly increasing.
The comments section was scrolling even faster.
"What's the anchor spacing out for? Did the script get stuck?"
"Are you memorizing your lines for the next scene?"
"The Heavenly Emperor Scripture? That's a pretty imposing name. Could you elaborate on it?"
"Sister Yu, are we going to have to cultivate on the spot next? I'll send you a rocket (a virtual gift), can you reach Foundation Establishment right here?"
"A streamer who exposed fake news has switched to becoming a cultivation-themed streamer—that's a great career choice!"
"Seriously, how did they do that special effect when that person disappeared? The streamer's team is pretty good."
"Let's call it a day, it's obviously scripted, it's boring."
"Don't leave! I love watching! I just want to see what kind of tricks she can pull off."
"Hey streamer, where's the secret manual your brother left you? Take it out and let me see, it's not some kind of 'Buddha's Palm' technique, is it?"
"Hurry up and expose your brother's fraud! We're all waiting!"
Looking at the comments that were either teasing, mocking, or simply for fun, Jiang Yu suddenly smiled.
The initial shock and uncertainty I felt from the description of power were replaced by a peculiar driving force.
Yes, she's a debunking streamer.
She knew that no matter how she explained, the people in the live stream wouldn't believe such nonsense as time travel and cultivation.
So she decided to let these people see for themselves!
They can also take advantage of this trend to make some money.
After all, there's still a long way to go to cover Mom's surgery costs.
Today's unexpected event might be an opportunity.
"it is good."
Jiang Yu spoke to the camera, her voice calm and even carrying a hint of the composed tone she used when exposing scammers on her live streams, "Since everyone is so curious and doesn't believe it, let's test it out right here today."
The comments section immediately sprang to life:
"Here it comes! The classic segment – Witnessing a Miracle!"
"Experiment? How? Are you going to demonstrate your skills live for us, streamer? Like ascending to immortality while sitting down?"
"Hurry up, I can't wait!"
Jiang Yu ignored the teasing and continued, "According to what this says, the first step in cultivation is called opening the sea of suffering. After success, your physical attributes will undergo earth-shattering changes. Your strength, speed, and endurance will far surpass those of ordinary people. Especially your strength; when you first achieve it, you can probably unleash a punch with the force of three thousand jin."
"puff--"
"How much? Three thousand jin? Are you sure the unit is jin and not grams, host?"
"Kill a bull with one punch?"
"Haha, even scripts have to follow basic rules!"
"I'm starting to suspect that the streamer might have been completely fooled by that conman's accomplice..."
"Sister Yu, you're a debunking anchor! Three thousand pounds? Tyson's punch at his peak only weighed around 500 kilograms, so one thousand pounds! You've tripled that?"
"I bet five cents that the host will say 'I was just kidding' the next second."
The live chat exploded, almost entirely filled with disbelief and mockery.
The number three thousand jin is simply too exaggerated, completely exceeding the common people's understanding of the limits of the human body.
