Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#556 - "Spiritual Energy"

Time flies, and another half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, although Liang Yue outwardly claimed to be in seclusion for cultivation, not to be disturbed, he wasn't actually in complete isolation.

Every so often, he would chat with Saeko-senpai, Aunt Yuriko, and others, taking the opportunity to inquire about the academy's development.

Occasionally, he would also take out the panoramic sandbox, sitting in this small thatched hut, personally investigating the specific situation inside and outside the mountain gate, and around the academy.

Therefore, during this time, he couldn't be described as being completely ignorant of worldly affairs.

Nevertheless, Liang Yue still gained a lot from this period of secluded meditation.

After a little sorting, the *Changchun Gong* was no longer the *Changchun Gong*…

To be precise, during this time, Liang Yue had thoroughly studied this basic cultivation method of the cultivation world and, in principle, understood the mysteries of the journey from the beginning of cultivation to before the Foundation Establishment realm.

In this case, Liang Yue simply replaced the principles of the Wood-attribute spiritual energy operation and generation, and replaced it with the energy extraction methods of other cultivation methods.

In this way, the *Changchun Gong*, which was originally specialized in the Wood attribute, became an attribute-less cultivation method~

It became a basic cultivation method that could be practiced even without the aid of spiritual roots.

In view of this characteristic, Liang Yue named this technique ~ *Lingyuan Gong*.

Of course, this attribute-less cultivation method was actually just an accidental product of his creation and review process.

It is an entry-level immortal cultivation method suitable for ordinary people to practice, but it is not his main purpose in this seclusion.

After organizing it into a book and running it a few times to make sure there were no errors or risks, Liang Yue stopped paying attention and continued to deduce higher-level cultivation methods.

The Wood-attribute spiritual energy conversion principle that he had extracted and summarized separately from within the *Changchun Gong* was his real research focus.

Looking down from a high-level realm at the path he had once taken, he could naturally easily find past flaws, omissions, and various merits.

Therefore, the creation of the *Lingyuan Gong* seemed very smooth, as if it was a natural result.

But if this situation were reversed, and a lower-level cognitive level were used to infer a higher-level realm of cultivation, it would inevitably be full of difficulties.

A slight carelessness could lead to mistakes and cause irreparable consequences.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Liang Yue naturally had to be as careful as possible, and as cautious as possible.

At the very least, he couldn't joke with his own life and wealth.

Fortunately, as a wild Green Lantern, holding a ring known as the strongest weapon in the DC universe, he also had other alternative solutions.

After a little thought, Liang Yue used himself as a blueprint, Earth's life force as a supply, and the Green Lantern ring as a medium to create an avatar that was exactly the same as his body.

This avatar was much weaker than himself in terms of spiritual energy, but the level was not bad at all.

Moreover, Liang Yue and this avatar were also connected in mind, two in one.

Simply put, they shared one soul in two bodies, the body strength was different, but the structure was not bad at all.

Liang Yue could immediately feel the feelings and sensations of the avatar, and even any subtle changes that occurred within it, as if they were happening to himself.

This was the experimental subject Liang Yue had prepared for his creation!

With this infinitely useful and fearless substitute, his research naturally began to move onto a smooth fast track.

Perhaps in this project, he would inevitably turn into a fork in the road because of his unfamiliarity with the road ahead, but this was not a problem.

Every mistake and twist was actually a very valuable experience and lesson for him.

After careful summary, it could provide him with various lessons for his future path of cultivation.

In this way, as time passed, Liang Yue also began to immerse himself more deeply in it, constantly experiencing and summarizing the mysteries of this creation process.

Soon, after more than half a year of experimentation and attempts, he felt that he should have accumulated enough knowledge.

He also had a considerable degree of planning and arrangement for the cultivation system of the Foundation Establishment realm.

Liang Yue felt that the time for his official creation was not far away, and the two were like a layer of window paper separating them.

Almost within reach, a poke and it would break!

Just as he was about to persevere and, with the good luck of this seclusion, prepare to create the cultivation method in one go, a sense of dullness and annoyance suddenly arose in his heart for no reason.

This situation was like, at the critical moment of teaming up to rush the tower, a sense of urgency suddenly came like a mudslide, interrupting his enthusiasm and thoughts.

Various pangs and tumbling sensations made him completely unable to concentrate his energy to focus on output.

The appearance of this situation was obviously very abnormal.

After hesitating a few times, Liang Yue finally had no choice but to reluctantly interrupt his plan to continue his seclusion and create a cultivation method.

"… First of all, this is definitely not a sign of going crazy, because I am not cultivating at all now, and my thoughts are clear, my breath is steady, and my state is excellent."

"It seems that there is nothing wrong with Nana and the others, everything is normal in the academy and the mountain gate."

"Since the problem is not internal, then it can only be an external factor?"

"What could it be?"

In this way, Liang Yue frowned slightly at this time, while thinking wildly, while subconsciously tidying up his personal appearance and attire.

The next moment, the whole person disappeared into this small thatched hut.

…

“Roar~~!!!”

“Chirp~ Chirp Chirp!”

“Croak~ Croak~ Croak~”

“Ah~~~”

“Screech~!!!”

“Meow~~”

“Wow~ Ooh! Wow~~~! Roar!”

“Hmph~ Hmph hmph!”

“Ooh~ Ah! Ooh~ Ah! Ooh~ Ah! Ooh Ah~ Ooh Ah Ooh Ah Ooh Ah Wow Wow Wow…”

…

In the auditorium of the Mountain Academy, accompanied by a series of strange, diverse roars and cries, on the huge projection screen opposite, one by one, a group of thousands of different postures, large and small beasts, birds vividly hunting and daily life pictures, also emerged.

The plump brown bear, the running tiger, the soaring kingfisher, the hunting hawk, the red-crowned crane standing on one leg on the shoal, the roaring leopard cat, the elusive bat, the mountain pheasant fanning its wings, the wild boar kicking its hooves, the mother monkey holding a small baby sitting in the tree, the herds of migrating antelope, bison, elephants…

Various colorful, or majestic, or clever and cute animals and birds, are now appearing on the screen opposite.

The fullness to almost completely simulated color saturation, high-quality sound broadcasting equipment, real-world panoramic picture resolution, makes everyone in the auditorium as if they were in the scene, stunned sitting in their seats.

Whether it is a young boy of only four or five years old, eight or nine years old, or a teaching Mr. who is in the prime of life, or a group of old people who are already over half a hundred years old.

At this moment, everyone in this auditorium, without exception, almost all widened their eyes, subconsciously opened their mouths, or leaned forward, clenched their fists, or huddled together with several people next to them, biting their fingers, staring intently at the picture, unable to recover for a long time~

Even breathing is unusually careful, for fear that a slight carelessness will miss even a frame of the picture.

At this time, what is being carried out in this auditorium is the extracurricular interest course that Liang Yue and the women discussed to carry out for the students in the academy.

Now that more than half a year has passed, this course has just progressed to the field of identifying, recognizing and classifying various animals and plants in nature.

However, the purpose of opening this course is actually to relax the students in the academy, and by the way, to increase their knowledge.

Basically, it will only be broadcast all day in this auditorium during the two days of weekend holidays.

Who knows, in the current era, such a color picture documentary is still a rather rare resource for this group of teachers and students.

Once launched, it immediately won wide acclaim from teachers and students throughout the school.

During the course broadcast, some parents who occasionally came to visit their children during the weekend holidays were also fortunate enough to witness the content of this course.

There is no wall that does not leak, so it spread from one to ten, and from ten to hundreds.

The fact that Liang Yue's Mountain Academy has such color projection equipment and teaching courses has gradually spread outside.

It is said that it has now caused a lot of impact in the outside world, so that many people want to enter the academy to see it for themselves.

Unfortunately, the academy under the command of the alien, how can they enter if they want to?

Even if the parents of those disciples want to come to visit their children, they must follow the regulations.

In addition, the existence of Yuan Datou, the director of education, has really helped the academy block a lot of such and such troubles.

Over time, it is finally stabilizing the situation.

However, there are always some people who will use some non-existent names, such as government special allocations, private education donations, school teaching exchanges and cooperation, visits from superiors to send warmth, etc., to openly do some things that combine public and private interests.

For these people, Aunt Yuriko, Nari Xiang, Yang Buhui and others did not deliberately stop them.

After all, this is an open interest course held in the academy, they never thought about keeping it secret from the beginning.

Not allowing too many outsiders to enter the academy is only out of a desire to reduce unnecessary trouble.
