With the plan to deal with the self proclaid talented swordsman on his mind, he returned to the Blessed Heaven World in anticipation of his eting with the rank 6 swordsman. The eting is going to be in two years and two months, which ans he has ti to prepare and increase his strength through other ans.
He entered the third dinsion and used it to travel quickly to the Blessed Heaven World. When he got there, the first thing he saw was the constellation of stars in the heavens of the third dinsion.
He had seen this constellation many tis and had already gotten used to the sight. However, when he looked at the divine constellation this ti around, he rembered sothing that he had intentionally ignored.
He rembered that the divine constellation is also a channel to acquire understanding and mastery of a pathway, not just a spying network for snooping on others.
After he rembered this other function of the divine constellation, he said to himself, ’I don’t need mastery of a pathway because of the Power Shifting Ability. But I have a lot of lifespan anyway. The lifespan isn’t doing anything, so let use a little bit of it to see what this understanding of a pathway is about.’
’Who knows, gaining an understanding of the pathway might contain the secret to advancing to rank 9. Though I doubt that will be the case since the sect won’t be generous enough to leave such valuable information out in the open for everyone to see.’
He had ignored gaining mastery of a pathway because he didn’t need it and because it was expensive to acquire. But since he had a lot of lifespan on hand to use, he decided to give it a try.
He didn’t have any great expectations for what he would learn, though. So his attitude was nonchalant as he connected his Insight Stat to the constellation of stars in the Money Pathway to gain an understanding of this pathway.
He connected to the constellation of the Money Pathway because it is the only pathway that he could access and gain an understanding, since this is the pathway where the Divine Position of Gold Body resided.
After connecting to the constellation, he directed his perception to the core of the constellation of stars. This core is the Supre tac, and it is the foundation of the pathway.
The fact that the Supre tac is the foundation of the pathway is why he needs to connect to it and perceive its mode of operation for him to gain a better understanding of the pathway. This is the first information that he acquired after he connected the Insight Stat to the Supre tac.
As this information flowed into his mind, he realized sothing which made his eyes light up and say, "The Supre tac isn’t just the strongest tac in the pathway. It is the source and foundation of the Pathway."
"Therefore, whoever controls the Supre tac will control the whole pathway. And whoever controls it will beco the Dao Lord of the pathway. How interesting."
Then his mind was flooded with more information. He saw that the Supre tac was made of Branch tacs, Core tacs, and Divine tacs. This made him realize that the more tacs are in a pathway, the stronger the Supre tac will be.
When he realized this, he found it sowhat unsatisfactory, so he shook his head and said, "Saying stronger might not be accurate. It is more like the more tacs a pathway has, the more robust and versatile the Supre tac becos."
He changed his understanding of how the quantity of tacs in a pathway affects the quality of the Supre tac because he had gained new information that made him change his worldview a few seconds after he made the first realization.
His perception of the Supre tac wasn’t by sight. He was not using his eyes because re eyes couldn’t fathom the intricacies of how a Supre tac operates.
His situation was like that of a blind man looking at an object. His eyes couldn’t see the object, so he had to rely on his hands to tell him what the object was. In his case, the Insight Stat is the hand that he is using to grope the object.
But just like a blind man will fail to get a complete image of the object at a glance, the Insight Stat can’t help him gain a complete understanding of the Supre tacs in an instant. He has to spend so ti groping and touching the Supre tac all over before he can get a complete picture of it.
Each mont he spends inspecting the Supre tac, he gains more information that updates the picture of the Supre tac that he has in his mind. But this update is not necessarily the correct one.
For sure, the Insight Stat will provide information. But what he understands from that information depends entirely on his comprehension ability.
It is like how a blind man can call an elephant a wall after touching its side or call the elephant a pillar after touching its foot, simply because the elephant is very big. What the blind man touched wasn’t wrong, but the image that the blind person used that information to form is wrong.
Of course, the more the blind man touches the elephant, the more information the blind man will acquire, which will help to make the ntal image of the elephant more accurate to the true image of the elephant.
In this way, as long as he is dedicated to his pursuit of understanding, no matter how poor his comprehension ability is, he will eventually gain sothing close to the truth. This dedication will only cost a lot of lifespan.
Loki gained an intimate understanding of this because his understanding of the Supre tac beca clearer and bigger the more lifespan he spent on perceiving the Supre tac. This made him sowhat uncertain.
