Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2114 - 2116: Bringing Shame Upon Oneself

The consciousness of the Qingping Domain has already split into several independent personalities, but its intelligence is really worrisome.

You can’t blame it for that; essentially, it evolved from the Heavenly Dao, akin to an artificial intelligence, managing incredibly complex contents.

As artificial intelligence, it can adapt to these tasks because it’s accustomed to all sorts of subconscious reactions.

But once it truly gave birth to its own consciousness, managing these things became difficult; it now has its own preferences.

In simple terms, mechanized responses worked before, but now, what’s needed goes beyond merely reflexive actions.

For example, a half-year-old child used to know only to instinctively nurse when hungry. Now, having consciousness, it wants to allocate family expenditures. Can he do that?

He can allocate, but not necessarily rationally, for he cannot even comprehend how complex the outside world is.

The consciousness of the Qingping Realm is similar. Instinctively, it thinks it should suppress Wu Nan because this person isn’t particularly friendly to it, but it also knows it cannot go too far with the suppression; otherwise, some repercussions could be too much for it to handle.

Indeed, it has weakened the Curse a bit; some things cannot be overdone. If the Great Sun Golden Crow were to be summoned, it would overwhelm not just it but also the Tianqin Plane. So when concessions must be made, it appropriately makes them.

Don’t be fooled by its awareness emerging from ignorance; it learns and grows gradually, not initially believing itself to be extraordinary—technically, it is just an accessory to a thought, and it cannot feel proud even if it wanted to.

Therefore, even though it is a Domain Consciousness, it is very practical; after making concessions, it slightly linked the Curse with the source: "I have backed down; if you can bring out an Emergence Stage to bear this causal connection, then this will conclude."

Anyway, it didn’t bother with the matter anymore—there are so many things to worry about, how could it focus on this?

Thus, when it suddenly discovered some source had diminished, it was really bewildered, "What happened?"

After sensing, it understood the reason but was even more surprised, "Huh... Jinwu Sect, can forcibly erase my Curse?"

Such a thing is really a slap in the face; Domain Consciousness has its pride—am I so easy to dismiss?

But the crux of the issue is that the Curse against Wu Nan was somewhat selfish, and he had previously visited, requesting the Curse be lifted, although it hadn’t fully agreed.

It has an attitude on this problem but isn’t deeply concerned; the source lost is less than a thousandth—it could not afford to spend too much energy on this Curse, as initially, only one ten-thousandth of source attention was linked.

Of course, to be fair, one ten-thousandth of source attention is also considerable, as it is focus from the Domain.

But Feng Jun was a bit ruthless, directly using Weimian’s Force to obliterate the source—he actually didn’t know the causal involvement was with this much source; he merely wanted to isolate the Curse.

So this time, the Qingping Domain’s loss was quite severe; it thought a ten-thousandth source would exhaust Wu Nan, but Wu Nan found someone ruthless, forcefully severing the causal link, catching the Qingping Domain off guard.

There’s a reason the Qingping Domain doesn’t concern itself with such matters—there’s much to handle every day, so it sets a baseline for this event and expects a reminder when approaching the limit.

Feng Jun didn’t remind it; he neither had the interest nor knew how to, and... Weimian’s decimation power was too overwhelming.

Weimian’s Force directly obliterated the Domain Curse, severing even causal linkages, yet Domain power is not easily contended with; feeling attacked, it instantly retaliated with a stronger counterattack,

Precisely because of this, with both sides in confusion, the originally planned one ten-thousandth source of the Qingping Domain was—overspent!

The Domain Consciousness no longer cared about this little affair, but the depletion of source was significant and directly related to it, causing it to sense a bit and pause, "I’ve already retracted much of the Domain Curse... does it still react this strongly?"

At this point, it’s not thinking about the causal connection with Wu Nan—truly trivial; though Wu Nan is a True Immortal of Jinwu Sect, to the Qingping Domain, this identity isn’t particularly formidable. It ponders who exactly blocked the Domain Curse.

From the Qingping Domain’s view, there are many methods to block Domain Curses—for Wu Nan, a True Immortal, it’s challenging, but it doesn’t see it as too difficult: If you can’t solve such a minor issue, you deserve to be bullied.

What concerns it is that there are many methods to handle a Domain Curse, but most are gradual removal, while this brute force method even took some source along... Who exactly did this?

Its first target is undoubtedly the Jinwu Sect, so its thought directly connects to the Higher Realm, intending to explore Jinwu thoroughly.

The Tianqin Plane responds in a very rigid way: you may use my passage, but only a thread of consciousness.

The Qingping Consciousness didn’t think much of it, these are basic operations. Normally, it wouldn’t do such things, as it’s rather intrusive, but if truly requested, others would understand.

Moreover, although it’s just a wisp of consciousness, if it involves one’s own cause and effect, it can react somewhat. If the Tianqin Plane is willing to make exceptions, it can do even more.

Most likely, Tianqin will not make those exceptions, but it’s already sufficient.

Qingping Domain sensed around the Jinwu Sect but didn’t detect Wu Nan True Immortal’s aura. Following the trace of cause and effect, it discovered he entered another lower realm, so it asked Tianqin: Which lower realm did he enter?

Regarding this question, Tianqin absolutely wouldn’t make an exception. Qingping is a lower realm, Kunhao is also a lower realm. As its holder, it certainly can’t be biased, thus stated: Finding it is your skill, not finding it then return.

The Qingping consciousness was unwilling to return just like that, so it went to the Jinwu Sect to investigate again.

This time, it probed a bit more forcefully, especially the Heaven Shielding Array, which it hadn’t encountered before. Upon discovering obstructions to its perception, it would probe to see if it could decipher them.

Tianqin consciousness watched coldly: If you must probe, I have no reason to stop you, anyway should problems arise, you can’t blame me.

Actually, it’s quite dissatisfied with the Heaven Shielding Array, there’s a place within the plane it can’t perceive? In the past, it tried to change it but was taught a lesson by the opposition. This time if Qingping Consciousness can gain something, it would be quite enlightening.

But just as it speculated, Qingping Consciousness barely began probing and disturbing the Heaven Shielding Array when a deep yet fierce aura transmitted over, "Is it time for another lesson... Huh, not Tianqin Consciousness?"

This person calculated slightly, already identifying the roots, then snorted coldly, "Such boldness, a mere lower realm consciousness, cursing my sect’s disciple is one thing, but daring to come to my Jinwu Mountain Sect to misbehave... stay!"

He wanted to intercept this wisp of consciousness, but Tianqin Plane wouldn’t consent, so outside the Heaven Shielding Array it slightly trembled, disguising and shielding this lower realm sibling’s consciousness.

"Huh, bold indeed," this person spoke coldly, "Give me a reason, or the consequences... you understand!"

Tianqin Plane had no valid reason to present, could only express, this newcomer is an ignorant junior from the countryside, hoping the distinguished would be lenient and not take offense.

The person who appeared was Jinwu’s Supreme Elder You Xuan, a power of the Emergence Stage. His dissatisfaction with Tianqin Plane’s explanation was deep, "Can ignorance be forgiven? Since you didn’t stop it and failed to manage your junior well, don’t blame others for taking management."

In the Qingping Domain, consciousness is terribly formidable. But upon arriving in Tianqin, it essentially lost its home-field advantage, moreover, it’s just a mere wisp, Jinwu Sect’s Emergence Stage formidable indeed didn’t take it seriously.

Nonetheless, Tianqin consciousness resolved to protect it, emitting an obscure fluctuation, meaning, your Heaven Shielding Array itself doesn’t comply with the rules. My tolerating your establishment is already significant goodwill, don’t be unaware of your limits.

You Xuan Supreme Elder dismissively replied, "These rules are jointly established by our seven sects with four paths. Don’t discuss compliance with me; the true matter is this lower realm consciousness daring to cause disturbances at my Jinwu, if I don’t severely punish... where is Jinwu’s dignity?"

Regardless, Tianqin consciousness absolutely refused to detain Qingping consciousness, although it’s just such a minute wisp. If Jinwu Sect truly holds it captive or even obliterates it, the Qingping realm’s loss would be substantial, consciousness thinking ability would regress by ten thousand years.

Alternatively, Qingping realm spending its source to replenish consciousness, but that’s not just a thousandth of an issue, at least two or three percent would be consumed, perhaps reaching five percent.

The Domain’s Source losing five percent is truly alarming, if reduced so drastically, Qingping realm essentially becomes equivalent to Kunhao.

After much argument, under Tianqin Plane’s protection, Qingping consciousness finally departed, but You Xuan Supreme Elder resented its excessive behavior, still delivering an attack, regarded as a "slight punishment."

Tianqin consciousness worked hard too, protecting Qingping consciousness at Jinwu Sect, then warned Qingping consciousness, saying never to target Jinwu Sect again. You Xuan’s strike not only aimed to teach it a lesson but was mixed with the cause and effect between Jinwu and you.

If you again target Jinwu disciples, people might follow the cause and effect thread to punish you!

Upon hearing this advice, Qingping consciousness couldn’t help but feel a bit depressed: it turns out the Tianqin Plane’s consciousness also doesn’t have free reign.

It could only express depressingly: I merely wanted to know, who broke my Curse, and why their means were so fierce.

It doesn’t think the person who broke its Curse purposely made it difficult, Domain consciousness inherently lacks much emotion, regarding cause and effect quite justly, it can cast the Curse, others could break it, it merely wished to clarify the reason.

Tianqin Plane dismissively stated: anyway you’ve witnessed the Emergence Stage this time, just treat it as his doing, if you continue to entangle, significant problems will arise.
