Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 646 - 598: Mountain of Crap Code
According to Teacher Gong Qin's instructions, Wu Hen immediately made some adjustments to the mental image stage within himself.
This was no different from adding a string of AND or NOR codes, and for someone like Wu Hen with such comprehension, it wasn't difficult.
Closing his eyes again, Wu Hen began adjusting his Heaven and Earth Sword Control Technique.
When he opened his eyes, the sky full of people swords finally calmed down, and they returned to the solid ground. These Human Clan members, not knowing what just happened, were all in a state of shock.
They were quite puzzled, as just moments before, they were jumping up and down on the green belt, and now it was like they themselves were jumping up and down.
Suddenly, the bricks underfoot, the tiles on the rooftop, and the clothes on their bodies were once again pulled by some powerful force, flying into the sky again.
The people, just recovering from their shock, were frightened out of their wits. The stark naked crowd who originally wanted to hide inside the houses suddenly found that even the houses had flown into the sky!
"Did you... did you forget again that you need to visualize the sword shadow in your heart?" Teacher Gong Qin saw the city full of naked people, and beads of fragrant sweat formed on her forehead as she urgently spoke to Wu Hen. freёnovelkiss.com
"I did the living being filtering already... Wow, the cultural blend of the Human Clan is so stimulating. Which sect is holding an unrestricted conference here?" Wu Hen opened his eyes and saw an extremely beautiful scenery.
"Now you are controlling objects, everything except living beings," Fairy Gong Qin said.
"It's too complicated. I clearly followed your instructions... okay, okay, I think I understand. Do I need to distinguish between organic and inorganic materials? I'll add a program to only control inorganic substances." Wu Hen was about to make changes, but upon careful thought, he realized that simply using organic and inorganic to distinguish what he needed to control was too hasty.
This Heaven and Earth Object Sword Technique couldn't achieve precise filtering. Every time it was cast, it had to go through many procedures, which slowed down the casting speed. No wonder Sword Immortals' power explosions were always so flashy.
"Let's first set precise conditions," Wu Hen said.
"It's my fault, I was a bit too eager. Most of our Sword Immortals start from the objects that are easiest to resonate with, like those utensils we have refined and often inject with our spiritual intent. These utensils can quickly connect with us and obey our commands... After such cultivation, we Sword Immortals then attempt to control objects — hard rocks, sharp ancient woods, rushing rivers, metals underground... We go step by step, so there's no such error in filtering. In fact, controlling living beings is the hardest in object control, but you seem to have mastered other resonance laws, to the extent that living people can also become your resonance targets," Fairy Gong Qin said.
Fairy Gong Qin hadn't encountered this situation; even now she found controlling living people difficult. Therefore, when these Sword Immortals control objects as swords, they didn't have so many screening procedures. It was surely best to resonate with the most powerful materials to forge sharp swords.
Exactly when Wu Hen cast the spell, the most powerful materials were the highly evolved living people in this Infinite City. When he initiated Heaven and Earth Resonance, these people automatically entered the range of control, forming a spectacular human sword sea.
Fairy Gong Qin felt there was a problem with her teaching; she hadn't tailored her teaching to the student.
Fortunately, Wu Hen was now in learning god mode; he would self-correct.
"Fairy, give me a specific material to control, otherwise I can't define this controllable range," Wu Hen said.
"Then... the hardest one: water. Use water as your sword," Fairy Gong Qin said.
"No way, about seventy percent of the human body is water. If I use water as a sword, all the water in their bodies will be taken by me, and they'll die. We programmers must be rigorous!" Wu Hen immediately thought of this.
Fairy Gong Qin was speechless. No serious Sword Immortal controlling water would siphon water from people's bodies!
"Then the river water; control the river water now," Fairy Gong Qin immediately made a clearer definition.
"River water in our language is a very clear noun, but in your Sword Immortal techniques it's quite vague. It needs some language coding, because your techniques are top-down filtering systems, which is a problem with the underlying code. I need to perform multiple OR and NOR operations... Let me translate for you. Roughly, of all things between heaven and earth that resemble swords, don't use living beings, especially humans; no stones or trees; no processed buildings, sculptures, statues, bricks from stones or trees; nothing from the sky, to avoid water vapor; nothing from underground, to avoid underground river eruptions; nothing from organic bodies..."
Wu Hen rambled about a bunch of conditions he thought were very reasonable.
"Please let the rest transform into the sword of my heart!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rivers within Infinite City finally began to change. The vast river, winding streams, mountain torrents, city canals... all transformed into a series of exquisitely beautiful water sword dragons, curling beneath the clouds, forming an awe-inspiring Immortal Sword power!
Done!
Wu Hen successfully transformed the river water from the earth into his Immortal Sound Sword. If there were an enemy, they would instantly obliterate the wicked and depraved.
On the side, Fairy Gong Qin had been silent for a long time.
At this moment, if a modern person were to step forward and utter the words "shit mountain code," Fairy Gong Qin would frantically nod, indicating that modern people were indeed wise and had accurately expressed what she wanted to say.
What was going on??
A perfectly good Heaven and Earth Sword Control Technique, how did Wu Hen turn it into this??
The problem was, Wu Hen's critique of the Heaven and Earth Sword Control Technique's underlying logic was indeed justified.
The Heaven and Earth Sword Control Technique was indeed top-down because, in the initial cultivation stages, most Immortals were already remarkable if they could control even a strand of hair. Naturally, when the sword technique was created, it was about controlling whatever was controllable, and to complete the technique faster, it was necessary to select the strongest, sharpest objects to transform into swords at the first opportunity, otherwise, upon reaching the True Immortal Realm, when the Heaven and Earth Sword Control Technique was cast, it would turn into manipulating strands of straw rather than rocks or ancient pines!
In short, the Sword Immortal Technique was designed for the majority of Sword Immortal cultivators, not for outliers like Wu Hen!
"No matter what, I still learned it, right?" Wu Hen looked at his masterpiece, feeling very satisfied.
"Well, yes, quite good." Fairy Gong Qin had nothing more to say; in future transmissions of Sword Immortal Techniques, she indeed should be more cautious with the foundational logic.
