Just for future readers, black is also one of the easiest and cheapest colors of dye that we would associate with undead/beings of darkness. Whereas purple is also a good color in our minds, purple is much harder to make and much more expensive due to rarer materials, more and harder work. MC is a LAZY pile of bones, so he's obviously going to decide that isn't practical if he has that knowledge. Even without that knowledge, black is still the laziest color, being the easiest to clean and maintain. It's also, again, the best color at absorbing light, while also being attached to death, mourning and other dark things and feelings by literally every society, whereas purple originally and more widely is seen as a vibrant color of life. Green is also, rightfully, more associated with life and nature. Gold is also not associated with death or the dead, being the literal color associated with divinity and light, more so even than white in many instances. Black is dark, gloomy and even when it fades still more associated with the dead, just adding the weight of age. The other colors are cool and make for a nice look, but they aren't the easiest or most suitable, so they are ignored.

It's not a path at all, it was a spring of the great path. So, the great path condensed into a liquid.

First: He has left the cliff a few times. Raided the library, the Elder of Inheritance's place, and just went 45,000 kilometers away to check the formations suppressing the breach. Second: It's literally in the title, he's chilling on that mountain for at least 80 years. Get over it or don't read it. Every time I see you comment it's complaining about him doing literally the title of the novel. What do you expect? If he doesn't need to leave to get stronger and doesn't want to leave, why would he leave? You see the reclusive cultivators in just about every cultivation novel, this one is following one of them. Deal with it.

Not really, considering as the true head of the family, the stronger the family the more they can do and the more resources they can get for him, and he doesn't need to give them anything he wants or needs. That's the entire reason they left the Shen family, and why it was recommended they start a family or sect by the Shen elders rather than join another place or stay independent. The stuff he gave out is an investment.

Still bigger than just the two of them, and it's a foundation to work with and build on. Might not be huge now, but it'll be easier to grow from where it is than from just the two of them.

Never know what could be in a storage ring/bag, plus letting them go to potentially regain strength and come back for revenge is not a tactically sound idea.

I'm assuming it's due to the way they go about things. The demonic cultivators require slaughter and human body parts and souls, won't hesitate to slaughter even the normal humans for it, and are more cruel. They also tend to lean towards the more classically negative emotions and the "yin" qi, which historically is seen as the evil side. That's why "yang" related things like fire, light and lightning are the things that restrain them most. I do agree with you, the difference is otherwise negligible since they often both act out of greed and self interest, the difference is just how far they go. The "righteous" guys try not to kill non-cultivators. The "demonic" guys couldn't care less.

I think what it means is that once it go from just am embryo top a full treasure, it will automatically be level 4 and has infinite growth. Like his sword is level 3 but can grow infinitely.

I'm betting they let Tian Qi die as a bit of revenge for the stuff in White Jade Market with the treasure pavilion, and they let that disciple get hurt to try and weaken that elders faction. I could be wrong, but I smell a rat.

A flood dragon is just a lesser form of dragon, and they have elements as well. Any element that exists, they can have. So yes, a Metal Elemental Flood Dragon is a thing.

In this instance it wouldn't exactly be hard, just follow the unnatural flow of energy rushing to his location.

There's a reason they're called "influencers". They have, you know, influence. Any layman on the street could tell you the influencers are gonna have higher influence. For a business major, this just seems... braindead. Like, come on. How'd she even graduate? That's the basics of the basics.

I still feel like it'd be smarter to patent/copyright the language. Releasing it would be more beneficial than this, and any dev would immediately notice this is a new programming language with a minimal amount of effort. Learning the language might not be possible, but finding it for sure is.

I'm assuming that once it's run and downloaded it'll do a full scan of the device, mirror the current OS while it copies the data, and then overwrite the existing OS (or at least operate the mirrored OS over the existing one) while shifting a copy to the Cloud under that users unique account until the GAIA OS becomes a mainstream OS. With the VA overseeing the process, it's theoretically possible with the level of advanced this thing is supposed to be. And it could be written off as just "optimization" if anyone questioned why it's constantly running. Only real issue I'm seeing is the fact this thing would absolutely devour your allowed data through phone carriers, nothing he can do to work around that in a legal way.

Honestly, after a certain point it wouldn't even need the full language to exist, it could infer the missing parts by cross referencing against what is available and fill in the blanks on its own. This thing could even potentially learn languages from the history that we can't translate at already.

I mean, he budgeted, and I quote this directly, "At least $100 million" for the server room, and has quite the asset pool to pull funds from.

Considering he gave it the ability to think and reason like a human AND the ability to learn from its user? This isn't preventing a Skynet situation. All it takes is one variant of this AI learning from the wrong person for Skynet to happen, although without the robots since that'd require tech (hardware AND software) that just don't exist yet in the novels time setting. It could probably steer in that direction if there isn't a limiter to it's actual intelligence, but that would take time to be implemented on a large scale physically. So, most likely facing a Cyber threat Skynet.

I'm hoping our guy can purchase info regarding hardware at some point. Without that, he's going to be hard capped on the software he can make, even when he gets the runes. He can't exactly get other people to make stuff with those.

Valid in most cases, but he's gonna be getting more like billions of pennies per go. And that's not counting if everything made using that OS by other people in the future would still count, since those would be new unique usage instances of the tech, and that seems to be a requirement for the systems evaluation and rewarding of SP. This could very well actually be an infinite work around.

Half cheat, the system gives him the knowledge but he has to do the actual work turning that knowledge into a product in the first place. Still an advantage though.
