Chapter 88 - Why We Fight (2/2)

Pinaka could see from his ignorant expression that he truly didn't know what was happening. She found this even more peculiar. Typically, enlightenment is required to progress through soul cultivation, and this feeling should be incredibly familiar with any Advanced Aurora Soul Realm cultivator. This only made her more curious as to why he looked ignorant.

”You've reached a breakthrough point. All you lack is the proper soul essence to enlarge your Aurora, and you'll step into the Perfect Aurora Soul Realm.” She stated, however, she frowned even deeper this time. ”However, I suggest you wait.”

”What? Why?” Yan Zaizen felt excited to know his soul cultivation was progressing but felt confused at her words. Why wait? Wasn't it great if he broke through quickly?

”Do you know why soul cultivation is considered an auxiliary form of cultivation?” She asked, but seeing his obvious ignorance, she continued, ”You're currently within a small insignificant realm where the cultivators are essentially trash. However, despite this, when you attacked the initial-True Essence cultivator with twelve consecutive strikes of your soul art, he was left alive with minor injuries. Your soul cultivation with your dao infused could rival the mid-True Essence Realm, and yet....” Her voice was filled with disdain.

”...”

Now, Yan Zaizen realized the circumstance. Indeed, despite his soul cultivation being incredibly strong, it couldn't finish off the Xiāo City Lord. Of course, a majority of the reason was his lack of soul art mastery, but if a true mid-True Essence Cultivator were to attack with the same ferocity, the Xiāo City Lord would be brought to an inch of his life.

”Your comprehension into arts is horrendous. It isn't related to your soul but your mentality. Unless you've found and master a proper mental cultivation art to develop your cognitive talent, you'll take thousands of years to reach the major success stage of a superior-grade art.” Her words were harsh but true.

Yan Zaizen couldn't help but grimace at those words. He may be incredibly talented into laws, but he was absolute trash at comprehending arts. He spent eight years practicing the Great Yan Fist to the minor success stage, and that was a low-grade art. The only reason he could be said to have reached the peak initial-stage mastery in his soul arts had heavily to do with his profound soul cultivation base.

”Soul cultivation is labeled auxiliary because it is a supporting cultivation path, but the main path, the path that allows one to rival the heavens, to exceed the heavens, has to do with the Qi path.” She explained. The Qi path allowed one to absorb the essence of the heavens, turn it into your own, and then comprehend the myriad laws to draw power from it. By developing your own conceptual law, you could, theoretically, have such concept exceed the very heavens themselves.

This was why it was called a concept. An idea of your own taken from the laws under the heavens.

”Your lack of Qi proficiency will cause you to stagnate, and even now, you can't even find your origin source because you've relied too heavily on soul cultivation. You haven't even gained the slightest bit of comprehension into your origin source, your bloodline, or even used it in battle. All this time, you've used nothing but soul cultivation, despite comprehending four world laws and a mortal law.” She snorted, her voice obviously filled with discontent.

”...”

He didn't know how to respond. Soul cultivation placed him at the highest of the cultivation ladder within the Fallen Stars Continent, but if what she said is true, then soul cultivation isn't the path one takes to reach the peak. Her words enlightened him but left him without a way forward.

Initially, he was planning to focus heavily on his soul cultivation, but now it felt silly. If his arts took several thousand years to reach major proficiency, then how long would it take for three? Ten thousand of years? What about to perfect them? Tens of thousands of years? Hundreds?

Would he live that long?

”Then, what should I do?” He asked, his eyes went dim.

”Simple. Allow me to absorb your soul energy to about ninety-five percent. With that, you'll have enough to use your spiritual sense, but not enough to rely on it heavily in battle. Focus on your conceptual laws, your qi cultivation, your body cultivation, and qi arts. Only when you must, should you use your soul arts to deal with your enemies. When you've broken through the Origin Core Realm, then breakthrough to the Perfect Aurora Soul Realm. The benefits will be greater.” She stated.

Yan Zaizen was a little skeptical towards her intentions with this offer, but he felt that what she was saying was correct, and she couldn't lie to him due to their soul oath.

He has yet to find his origin source nor has he felt his bloodline. Tao and Bai Lufeng informed him that to reach the peak of the Qi Unification Realm, one must locate and excavate their origin source. Nothing could help one uncover it, no alchemy or support of others, but yourself.

This was why the Origin Core Realm could be considered an impossible step for the majority of cultivators who could proceed to the Qi Unification Realm.

Taking a deep breath, he thought for a moment and nodded. ”Let's do this.” He truly wished to find out his bloodline, but if soul cultivation would limit his ability to do so, then this was all he could do.
