Chapter 497: Chapter 27 The Cause of Preaching, ‘Sudden Enlightenment’ _2
Many things were imperfect.
Martial Saint Zhu Xiao had already explained these things when he was transmitting his teachings.
But what did that matter?
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Clan Elder grew even more excited, “Originally, I thought the Spirit Path you created was based on the Qi Blood Martial Arts of the Human Race, creating a new realm like Tian Wu and Zhen Wu. I did not expect it to be a truly different path. Even if it is a bit immature, that’s okay—it suits us even better!”
Long Lie: “??”
He was devoted to cultivation, and his interest in other paths was limited to studying what was useful for him, but he did not quite understand the significance represented by these paths.
At this moment, the Tortoise Elder spoke, “Take Qi Blood Martial Arts, for example. Before the Great Grandmaster level, everyone followed the same path. But breaking through the Great Grandmaster level, it branched into different paths like Tian Wu, Zhen Wu, suitable for different people of varying talents. Although Body Cultivation is immature, it shows this trend too. When cultivated to a realm equivalent to the Great Grandmaster level, it also begins to differentiate.
If your Spirit Path is truly a new path, perhaps at a certain level, it will also see this kind of differentiation due to different understandings. However, this differentiation is not a bad thing; it actually allows different clan members to have different choices, meaning the Spirit Path could serve as a foundational path like the Qi Blood Martial Arts of the Human Race.”
Hearing this, Long Lie instantly understood the significance of the “Spirit Path” he had developed. He suddenly realized something, “No wonder I felt a need to transmit the teachings…”
Hearing Long Lie’s mutterings, an elder suddenly understood, “So that’s it; I see now why every individual who has reached above the Great Grandmaster level among the Human Race has transmitted their teachings—the more people cultivating, the greater the range of possibilities derived, the more perfect the path becomes, and the greater the chances of breaking through to higher levels. Truly, truly!”
This was a Roc who had been pondering why those strong individuals among the Human Race would actively spread their paths and create competition for themselves.
But now he understood!
Transmitting teachings was also a way to perfect the path.
The more companions on the path, the more perfected it becomes.
After being reminded, Long Lie had already understood quite a bit, and the other elders were all shaken.
“The true meaning of transmission lies herein… In that case, isn’t Long Lie much too far behind?”
“Not at all, Long Lie’s Spirit Path is suitable for the Spirit Clan and is not on the same path as the Human Race, so there’s no need to worry excessively.”
The Spirit Path is suitable for the Spirit Clan to cultivate; there is no need to worry about transmitting it.
Long Lie thought the same, but as someone stronger than the Spirit King, he understood even more.
“Elders, my Spirit Path indeed can be cultivated by everyone, but I believe that the exploration of other paths should not stop either, as I am not clear about the potential of the Spirit Path. If it only reaches up to the Spirit Emperor realm, and the Spirit Clan only cultivates the Spirit Path, that would truly be walking into a dead end!”
The Spirit Emperor was the realm Long Lie set above that of the Spirit King.
Long Lie was very confident in his own path and did not think the Spirit Path would stop at the Spirit Emperor level, but for the sake of his race, cultivating only the Spirit Path was unhealthy.
The elders apparently thought of this point as well.
But they considered more.
“Indeed, the Spirit Path should be passed on, explain the situation to those clan members who are keen, and they would also likely want to find their own paths. However, the Spirit Path must be cultivated by those with decent talent among the Spirit Clan to ensure combat power, which, of course, also means giving up on creating their own paths.”
Though this was a mere statement, it highlighted an issue.
Those among the Spirit Clan who could cultivate up to the Spirit King level under the suppression of the Destiny Dynasty, which of them weren’t talented and proud? Without being defeated, obviously, most Spirit Kings would choose to find a way to carve out their own path, which definitely would take a long time.
But the Spirit Clan couldn’t wait any longer…
After a moment of silence, all elders looked up simultaneously.
They instantly understood each other’s intentions and all smiled.
The Dragon Clan Elder stated, “In terms of talent, there aren’t many in the Spirit Clan who can compare with me.”
“Old Dragon, you’ve indeed become shameless with age. Purely in terms of talent, I’m definitely the highest,” said an elder with long rabbit ears, not of any noble lineage, just an extremely talented white rabbit.
“You folks…”
“Hehe, it seems the Spirit Clan still can’t do without us old timers!”
All the elders had figured it out.
Since it was hard to decide among themselves, they, the elders, would step up.
Those who could become elders in the bygone era were not lacking in talent.
Long Lie was about to speak, but he was stopped by the Dragon Clan Elder.
“This is the best choice!”
Having said that, the Dragon Clan Elder looked back at the other elders and spoke, “Now that things are settled, we proceed according to the plan. In addition, we should focus on talents. Since Long Lie has awakened, perhaps other members of the Spirit Clan are close too. For those with strong innate abilities, we can bring them in for concentrated cultivation.”
“Very good!”
The Spirit Clan continuously discussed and planned.
The external Human Race was not calm either.
A new path naturally drew attention, some individuals who lacked good talent in the existing paths hence wanted to see if the “Spirit Path” suited them.
But soon news spread that the “Spirit Path” was more suitable for the Spirit Clan.
This made people pay less attention to the Spirit Path, and several great grandmasters breathed a sigh of relief, grateful not to have a competitor.
As the head of the Royal Capital, Huangtian naturally knew about this first-hand.
However, he did not care too much.
“Let someone inform Long Lie, if he wants to establish a branch at Datong College, he can apply.”
