" The two glared at each other, eyes wide. Shen Mu said, "Brother Xu, I will write you another copy in a moment. There is no need to quarrel so fiercely over such a small matter. I have another course of study here that needs the Tiansheng Academy to research—namely, the yuan-magnetic divine ability. I would like to ask Granny to lead some scholars accomplished in this field and make this the main direction of attack.
" Old Mother Zhu said in surprise, "The yuan-magnetic divine ability? You mean the earth's magnetic yuan-force—Shen'er wishes to develop this kind of divine ability?
" "Not only the earth's magnetic yuan-force.
" Shen Mu explained, "If it were only the earth's magnetic yuan-force, it would be too simple. There is also yuan-magnetism among the stars and constellations in the heavens. For example, when we ascended to the alien star of the remnant Crimson Brightness clan, we found ourselves drawn by yuan-magnetic force, and had to resist the alien star's yuan-magnetic force in order to fly. This shows that the yuan-magnetism between the stars is also extremely powerful. If it could be developed, it might become an exceedingly formidable system of divine abilities. " Old Mother Zhu's eyes lit up.
"My Daluo Heaven Star-Force Field is somewhat similar to the yuan-magnetic divine ability you speak of. The most convenient place to study the yuan-magnetic divine ability is where the Taihuang Heaven, Luofu Heaven, and the Waste Ruins converge. The yuan-magnetism there is complex—most suitable for research! " Shen Mu inwardly praised her cleverness and continued, "You have cultivated the yuan-magnetic divine ability in the Great Nurturing Dark Demon Scripture, so you are precisely suited to research in this area.
Researching the yuan-magnetic divine ability also requires no small accomplishment in the arts of calculation. Granny, how has your accomplishment in the arts of calculation improved these days? On the road I carefully worked through the yuan-magnetic force field and wrote down several equations. Take a look first and see if you can understand them. " Xu Shenghua's curiosity was stirred again, and he leaned in, saying, "Brother Shen, might you let me have a look?
" Shen Mu took out several sheets of paper.
Old Mother Zhu looked for a long while, worked out the meaning of the runes in the equations, and said with a smile, "I can just barely understand them, but I will still need the help of some experts in the arts of calculation. " Xu Shenghua understood them as well, and praised them: "Ingeniously conceived. Using these equations of yours, one can deduce the rudimentary forms of a dozen or so basic yuan-magnetic runes.
Crude as they are, once there is a direction, the yuan-magnetic divine ability can continue to be carried forward and expanded. Why do you not research it yourself, Brother Shen? If you continued your research, perhaps you could add an entire great system of divine abilities to heaven and earth, and the Great Dao of heaven and earth itself would change because of it! " Shen Mu sighed and said, "Where would I find so much time? You all create it, and I will simply learn it. " Everyone's eyes went wide.
This fellow had clearly found one research direction after another, had even created research methods, and could clearly have achieved great things—could even have attained the accomplishment of a Sage King. Yet he was precisely unwilling to continue his research, and instead tossed these trivial matters to them for them to complete.
"Brother Xu, does your Shangcang Academy intend to research the Taiwei Calculation Classic, or the yuan-magnetic divine ability?
" Dao Master Lin Xuan chuckled. "You cannot occupy both directions, surely? You must choose one path. " Xu Shenghua was caught in a dilemma.
