Chapter 58 Old Divine Power, New Interpretations (1/2)

”Because she doesn't have a real self,” Zhang Quan stroked his chin, ”A traditional god must have mortal elites to write about him, or have followers to donate to him, or have someone built his statues for him. In short, people will worship a figure that they all recognize. Even if the Avalokiteshvara, someone say that he's ----”, Here, Zhang Quan coughed, “Someone say that he’s switching between male and female. But at least there are classics and historical records to check with. For example, there is a book recording that Avalokiteshvara is a worrier. While what about her? She was born because people put their energies on the Internet. Then let me ask you, you do Internet products every day, do you know what the Internet looks like? ”

”Err …” Zhang Quan's question stumped me. That was right. If I had to draw a picture for the internet, I really wouldn't be able to do it.

”So,” Yan saw that I was stuck, so he continued to speak. ”She seems to have a lot followers, but she doesn't know her own appearance. Since she has no appearance of herself, how can she become a god?”

Zhang Quan nodded, ”It's such a pity. She has the condition of becoming a god, but not the foundation of becoming a god. In other words, she might have accumulated countless Formless Donations, but because she lacks the opportunity to gather them all, it will be difficult for her to become a god. ”

”But doesn't it say that being formless is more powerful than a form?” I didn't think about it before blurting out. I always read people’s articles about “formless” online, thus I felt that it was formidable.

”Haha, that's for someone who has already reached a very high level!” Yan laughed, ”You always claim that you like reading Jin Yong's novels, don’t you? Do you remember that in the Semi-Gods and Semi-Devils, how to defeat Jiu Mo Zhi’s Formless Tribulation Finger?”

I was wondering how come Yan did not focus on his job properly as a ghost servant but read mortal books and tested me from time to time. I curled my lip and replied, “To defeat formless with a form.”

“That’s it,” Yan said as he clapped his hands, “Being formless is significant because there is a form. But this Quasi-God has no form, so how could she be formless?”

With a flash of thought, the fire of hope in my heart extinguished and I couldn't help but lower my head.

”Talking about formless and form, you seem to have something that you didn't have before today, right?” Zhang Quan asked. I raised my head, and saw that he was looking at me, so it seemed that he was saying those words to me.

“Well?” I am a little confused. “What do you mean I have something that I didn't have before?” As I spoke, I looked at Liu Shuai, who was also at a loss.

”Yan, can't you see that?” Zhang Quan looked in the mirror and saw Yan shaking his head. He thought for a moment, then nodded, “Fine, it’s no wonder that you can't tell. You are blocked by the mirror, so you can't sense his changes.”

After saying that, Zhang Quan placed his hand on my forehead with a face full of surprise, and grabbed onto my forearm as if he was an old Chinese doctor checking me pulse. Then he looked at me and said straightforwardly, “It’s weird. Have you encountered or done anything strange recently?”

I thought about it, then suddenly remembered the 'ghost girl' I saw that night, and hurriedly said, ”There really is a strange thing. That night, I saw Ye's soul without borrowing mana. Even Liu Shuai could not see it.”

”Who's Ye?” Zhang Quan frowned. Yan was also surprised. I couldn't help but go crazy. Just now I didn’t have time to tell Yan about those weird things. It seemed that Zhang Quan wasn't clear either, and even after Long Fei gave him the Immortal Tying Rope, he wouldn't explain the situation in detail. Or rather, even if Long Fei wanted to explain everything, with his blabbering style, Zhang Quan probably wouldn't bother listening.

Thus, I narrated the entire process from that night when I saw the ghost girl to me “competing” with A Zhe, as well as the story that Liu Shuai used Formless Donations to refine Lan Ruo in the Dragon King's Temple. When I got to the point where Liu Shuai had displayed his great abilities, Zhang Quan smiled and nodded towards him.

After listening to my description, Zhang Quan walked back and forth in the room. Not long later, he stopped and looked at Yan, “Fellow Taoist Yan, no one can cultivate the Imbedding Body right?

Yan seemed to be thinking too, but upon hearing Zhang Quan's question, he hurriedly replied, ”Of course, there are two sets of genes in the body that are unable to form Dantian, while expansion of Dantian is the starting point of everything.”
