Is it that the rules of chemistry and physics are different...? Chen Yan pondered in his heart...
It seems like it’s also some sort of balance.
The Heavenly Dao rules of the real world suppress cultivation, making it difficult, primordial qi is scarce, cultivation resources are also rare, and abilities above the Celestial Human Realm cannot be used here!
Meanwhile, the Heavenly Dao of the Domain Realm suppresses technology. The rules may be completely different from our world, with various differences in gunpowder, chemical reactions, physical laws, and fission, making thermal weapons unable to unleash their power in the Domain Realm?
Have they mutually banned each other’s most powerful means of force?
Gu Qingyi continued: "The martial techniques from your world cannot be used in ours, so when people from our side come over, they can only occasionally get some of the novel gadgets from your world to bring back. Your world is quite abundant in resources for enjoyment."
Chen Yan frowned: "But since I met you, I still feel you are unfamiliar with many things in our world—you don’t even know how to use ordinary household appliances."
"I just don’t know how to use your newest household appliances. The existence of the world wall makes traveling through arrays difficult. It’s not always possible to come over. For example, my third uncle, the last time he came to your world was two to three decades ago.
Family members say that every time he returned, he would bring some of the novel gadgets from your world back. Although not too many, it at least gives us some familiarity with your world."
Gu Qingyi spoke, then laughed: "For instance, the Six Meridian Divine Sword you mentioned—I have read Jin Yong’s novels."
She actually read Jin Yong’s novels?
Chen Yan was somewhat surprised—but then he thought, her third uncle came to this world two to three decades ago. At that time, Jin Yong’s works were quite popular.
But now... she certainly hasn’t read those domineering CEOs and thirty years east, thirty years west novels, nor would she know about trends like "walking backward in the restroom."
"I’ve read all the novels Laughing Scholars and Lovers Lean on Green, Flying Snow Shoots White Deer Continuous," Gu Qingyi snorted: "Don’t think I’m a bumpkin!"
"Hmm, hmm, you are not." Chen Yan sighed.
"Besides these, I also know about Imperial Jade Liquid Wine, it’s 181 per cup!" Gu Qingyi’s face looked a bit proud: "My third uncle even brought back TVs and those machines that can play discs."
"Wow? You know about Imperial Jade Liquid Wine? What about ’Tango Together Moves,’ do you know that?"
"Of course I know!" Gu Qingyi showed a smile, but quickly the smile faded, she shook her head and sighed, a bit regretfully: "I only found out this time that the elderly lady who made Imperial Jade Liquid Wine has passed away. My third uncle initially said to see if there was any new work to bring back for everyone to see."
Gu Qingyi seemed to accidentally reveal some information about the Domain Realm.
Chen Yan surmised that the Domain Realm doesn’t seem to be the ancient cultivation world he imagined.
That world occasionally interacts with his own. Although the extent of such interaction is limited, it’s enough for the people of the Domain Realm to maintain a certain understanding of the technological and cultural achievements of his world.
They even took thermal weapons back for research, so some technological accomplishments are probably also studied—as Gu Qingyi mentioned, her third uncle even took back a television.
However, due to the existence of the world wall, traversing between the two worlds has many restrictions, including potential time limits.
Previously, Gu Qingyi said that array travel through the world wall could only be done intermittently.
If the last time was two to three decades ago... then the Domain Realm’s understanding of the real world might still be stuck in the 1990s?
No wonder this girl knows about Imperial Jade Liquid Wine but doesn’t know about smoking, drinking, and perming hair.
Gu Qingyi’s mouth was always tight-lipped, unwilling to disclose much about the Domain Realm.
Especially... what are the people of the Domain Realm fighting against? She has never revealed a word about that.
Chen Yan spent three days to roughly grasp the primordial qi version of the Six Meridian Divine Sword. Gu Qingyi provided great help—the Finger Sword attack skill was taught to Chen Yan by her, and she was naturally more familiar than Chen Yan with the operational mode of primordial qi.
Primordial qi operation routes went from the shoulder to the arm and then to the fingertip, changing from the index finger to other fingers wasn’t as easy as it seemed.
If Chen Yan were to fumble with the operation of primordial qi on his own, he would have wasted countless time in a blind fumbling process. With Gu Qingyi, an insider, helping him, it was much more efficient.
In three days, the primordial qi version of the Six Meridian Divine Sword began to take shape. Five fingers could release Finger Sword, but except for the original version using the index finger, the Finger Sword released from the other four fingers had somewhat disappointing effects.
The thumb’s power was quite strong, reaching more than double the original index finger’s power!
But the speed of primordial qi’s operation was slow—Chen Yan roughly estimated that if the thumb were used to release Finger Sword during combat, from primordial qi activation to operation into the thumb and finally to shooting out...
The process would take a full five seconds.
The skill’s activation pre-animation was too long!
Unless the opponent stands stupidly as a target during combat, the thumb Finger Sword, despite its strength, has little practical combat significance.
