Chapter 1182: The True Function of the Realm King Fruit
The four people each verified, and Lin Shen began to follow the actions of the little figures to practice.
The order wasn't a concern for Lin Shen; anyhow, no matter which cultivation technique he practiced, he never achieved success by following the correct methods.
Whether it's right or not doesn't matter, if he can follow along, he just mimics a few moves; if not, he skips it, simulating as many postures as he can.
But soon Lin Shen realized there might still be a problem with his practice. These mountain-full little figure drawings, who knows how many there are; if he follows every action, even if he skips those that don't connect, it might take several months to finish practicing them all.
No cultivation technique takes that long; several months just to practice once. Could he eat a meal or visit the restroom and continue practicing in between?
Practicing requires coherence; there shouldn't be any cultivation technique that can be practiced sporadically and succeed, right?
Moreover, mimicking the actions takes too much time, and they don't have that much time.
Just as he was about to discuss this issue with Wei and the others, he suddenly noticed that the three of them seemed a bit different from usual.
Wei Wufu was sitting to the side, facing Wall Mountain, his gaze taking in all the various pictures on the mountain.
As he observed the frescoes, a strange aura emerged from him, making it seem as if immortal qi was emanating from his body, almost like an immortal uninvolved with the Five Elements or the Three Realms.
Ouyang Yudu practiced from back to front, his gaze sweeping over the frescoes, his body accelerating as if tenfold over, producing afterimages.
From a distance, it appeared as if countless shadows of Ouyang Yudu were performing various moves all over Wall Mountain, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded.
On the other side, Di Esi somehow managed to find a table and chairs, sat in front of the mountain, holding a pen, with an open notebook on the table. He rested his cheek on his hand, seemingly pondering something as he looked at the mountain wall.
Occasionally, the pen in his hand moved a few times, writing something down on paper, yet he never lowered his head to see what was written in the notebook.
Upon seeing this, Lin Shen swallowed back the words on his lips and quietly went to the mountain wall to follow the actions to practice.
Unfortunately, his brain wasn't as powerful as Ouyang's or Di Esi's; he couldn't remember so many things in an instant or accelerate his practice, so he had to mimic each move one by one.
Lin Shen believed it would be better if Ouyang and the others managed to succeed, because if they couldn't, he probably had no hope either.
However, the test required breaking Wall Mountain; even if he didn't succeed in practicing the Untitled Divine Skill, he could still try using the Super-Base Divine Shot to break Wall Mountain. Whether this would count as passing the test remained unknown.
If Ouyang and the three others failed, he would have no choice but to try.
"Sis, I think Dad's not doing so well; do you know how to practice this Untitled Divine Skill? If you do, quickly give Dad some hints to prevent him from losing," Xiaona said, concerned about Lin Shen's slow progress.
Xiaoye frowned and said, "It's unclear what went wrong during father's reincarnation; in this life, he is so foolishly clumsy, unable to even have a photographic memory. I suspect something went wrong during reincarnation, damaging his brain and causing these issues, or else, given father's talent, he wouldn't struggle like this."
"What should we do then?" Xiaona asked anxiously.
"You don't need to worry too much. Even though his memory is poor, he has managed to learn those three Divine Skills, proving his past life's talent and abilities still linger. It's just the damage that makes him appear foolishly clumsy, but he's not truly foolish," Xiaoye pivoted, looking at Wei and the three others, and continued, "However, those three are incredibly talented, not inferior to you and me; even father, back in the day, might not have surpassed them substantially. If father were as he used to be, defeating them wouldn't be easy, but possible. Now with his brain damaged, it's doubtful he can decipher the cultivation technique faster than them."
"Now you've said everything; what should we do?" Xiaona asked urgently.
Xiaoye turned her gaze to Lin Shen, observing the inferior mask-like fruit pulp solid on his face, and said, "You have seen that his damage is not physical, even the Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill cannot resolve his issue. However, all hope isn't lost; the Realm King fruit pulp on his face might resolve this trouble."
"What do you mean? Isn't the Realm King fruit pulp already solidified? Can it still be consumed?" Xiaona wondered.
"Who told you the Realm King fruit pulp is for eating?" Xiaoye replied coolly.
"What do you mean? Didn't you say you didn't know how the Realm King fruit was supposed to be eaten?" Xiaona stared blankly at Xiaoye.
Xiaoye smirked slightly and transmitted, "Despite their close relations with him, revealing the true wonders of the Realm King fruit might lead to a struggle for it, so I naturally can't speak recklessly."
"What's the true nature of the Realm King fruit then?" Xiaona immediately asked.
"Surely, you don't actually believe consuming the Realm King fruit will directly turn one into the Great Emperor, do you? If you do, that's far too naive."
"Isn't it like that? Didn't father say he didn't have enough time, unable to wait for the Realm King fruit to ripen, otherwise, eating it would achieve him the Great Emperor status directly?"
"Of course, it's not that simple. The Realm King fruit indeed matures slowly, requiring substantial time to absorb sufficient world essence; however, becoming the Great Emperor can't solely depend on the energy amassed over time."
Xiaoye looked at Lin Shen's fruit pulp mask and remarked, "The true function of the Realm King fruit isn't to evolve the physical body but to enhance brain capability."
"Brain capability?" Xiaona was somewhat baffled.
"What do you think is the fundamental difference between the Great Emperor and ordinary people?" Xiaoye asked in examination style.
"It's control over power," Xiaona pondered briefly before answering.
"Correct, yet if you delve deeper, you'd see it's that the Great Emperor realm itself is akin to a Super Intelligent Brain. A Great Emperor's brain nearly can compute the trajectory of any event in the cosmos, able to deduce all subsequent changes and developments during battles. Hence the Great Emperor's decisions are always optimal, devoid of any flaw, and humans, despite their utmost wit, cannot achieve flawlessness, but a Great Emperor can remain invariably flawless. So even with equivalent power, humanity cannot defeat a Great Emperor."
"Human brain capacity barely compares with a cosmic-level Super Intelligent Brain. Even the best Divine Being cannot store all information in their mind and retrieve it instantly when needed, but the brain of a Great Emperor can."
"So the hardest leap in reaching the Great Emperor level has never been the physical evolution but rather the evolution of the brain, the breakthrough in cognitive ability," Xiaoye squinted her eyes and mentioned, "Realm King fruit pulp can facilitate his brain evolution, urging his cognitive ability to surpass prior limits, reaching a level comparable to the cosmic-level Super Intelligent Brain. This is a critical step in truly becoming a Great Emperor, though it entails a process; otherwise, excessive intensity in this process may lead the human brain to unbearable stress, risking explosion or collapse, resulting in madness or stupidity."
"Meaning he's there using his brain to think, which may better absorb the Realm King fruit pulp, fostering brain evolution, possibly being a boon," Xiaona finally grasped Xiaoye's point.
