People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 956: Chapter 117 Peering into the Truth_4

This reminded him of something he had once heard from a scientist who studied the brain.

“Humans cannot imagine anything beyond their perception…”

“All works of art exist somewhere in the universe as prototypes…”

“What is called creation, be it novels or movies, is merely a search through the reflections scattered throughout the universe using the sea of consciousness, and then recording them…”

“Similar stories are just processed and formed from the same source of reflection…”

At the time, Zhao Yu thought the scientist was a bit crazy, but now he felt there was a hint of truth in it.

Returning to his memories, Zhao Yu felt somewhat bewildered.

The original owner’s world was very small, having rarely left this city, let alone this large courtyard.

“A servant of a wealthy family?”

Zhao Yu shook his head and then started to call out to the system to perform a vision scan.

A moment later, Zhao Yu’s face showed a look of surprise and uncertainty.

The familiar system had become very strange, with most of its functions unusable.

[Collect emotional point energy, can be used to improve level progress.]

What puzzled Zhao Yu was that Technology Points had turned into emotional points, and the system’s functions had become very singular.

As for emotional points, according to the system’s explanation, any emotions others felt towards him could yield emotional points.

The amount of emotional points obtained depended on the Soul Power of the subject.

“This is quite similar to the Spirit World…”

“In the Spirit World, killing a spirit ghost could provide energy to improve level progress, yet spirit ghosts were born from human emotions…”

“According to what was said at that time, emotions, thoughts, and ideas are all fragments of a human’s soul, shedding from the body continuously like cell regeneration…”

After taking stock, Zhao Yu found that the system seemed to be of no use to him at the moment.

This meant that he could only rely on himself now.

“Shushan…”

“I need to find a way to go to Shushan and obtain a cultivation technique…”

Zhao Yu understood that to unravel the truth, he must climb up step by step, become an Immortal of this world, and then figure out the truth.

Why a world at the galactic center seemed to have no trace of technology, and so many other things he needed to decrypt.

Glancing at the sky, Zhao Yu lay back down on the bed and covered himself with the blanket to sleep.

…

“You fool, get to work!”

In his sleep, Zhao Yu felt someone pushing him. When he opened his eyes, a youth of a similar age was inches from his face.

The name of the person before him flashed in Zhao Yu’s mind.

“Bamboo Stick, what are you doing?”

This was also a servant of the Zhao Mansion, named Bamboo Stick because he was thin and tall as a child.

Bamboo Stick revealed an honest smile, “Fool, it’s time to work…”

Zhao Yu suddenly remembered that he was a servant of the Zhao family, needing to work every day for his livelihood.

He hurriedly got up and started the day’s chores with Bamboo Stick.

While working, Zhao Yu also pondered his future path.

To be accepted into Shushan, there were only two ways, one was to go to Shushan on his own, where he might encounter demons and ghosts, one careless moment and he could be devoured.

The second was to accompany a merchant convoy organized by the wealthy families in the city to Shushan.

In a place like Suyuan City, where the wealthy families often had ancestors or current members who were cultivators.

Generally every few months, they would take their family’s young members to Shushan to seek masters. Those who succeeded stayed in Shushan, while the rest sold goods there and returned to Suyuan City with the next convoy.

What frustrated Zhao Yu was that he had already missed the chance to go to Shushan with the family’s young members.

According to the original owner’s memories, these orphans would start literacy enlightenment at the age of six, undergo selection at twelve, and those who passed the test of willpower would then start practicing Body Refining Techniques.

Before the age of eighteen, those who had reached above the seventh level of Body Refinement could go to Shushan.

The reason the original owner was called a fool was that he was too naive as early as six years old, losing the eligibility for the willpower test early on.

In this world, cultivation did not require strict talent, but it did have some implicit conditions.

According to the memories, an educator once said at the age of six that a person has three souls and seven spirits, and normally healthy individuals could pass the literacy enlightenment stage.

The likes of the fool, however, were considered to have an incomplete soul, thus failing to pass.

To cultivate, only two things were examined: a complete soul and adequate willpower.

The literacy enlightenment at six judged the completeness of the soul, and anyone with a complete soul could pass the test at twelve.

Then came the willpower test, and those who passed could participate in subsequent physical training.

Although the fool was deemed ineligible by others at the age of six, he officially became a servant and worked on chores at the Zhao Mansion only after failing the exam at the age of twelve.

Similarly, Bamboo Stick became a menial worker at the same age, but he had passed the soul completeness test; it was just that he failed at the willpower test.

“Going to Shushan on my own?!”

Zhao Yu shook his head; traveling alone to Shushan would be extremely difficult. For Immortals, flying with a sword to and from Shushan and Suyuan City was not hard.

But for ordinary people like them, this journey would take months, with a high chance of encountering king beasts.

For him, a young man without the strength to truss a chicken, thinking about going to Shushan alone was pure folly.

“Then I can only follow a wealthy family’s merchant convoy to Shushan…”
