Chapter 446: Blockade (1/2)

Lin Mu knew that a tribulation platform was out of the question for him since he didn't even have a Qi cultivation technique. Senior Xukong had explained to him back in the Sleepscape that he was following what was called the path of the primordials.

The primordials were none other than the very first Qi cultivators that were born in the cosmos. They were the ones who established the way of qi cultivation and from where Qi cultivation started.

At that time they did not have any Qi cultivation techniques, and they followed the body cultivation path. But that was not possible for everyone to practice and thus when the hostilities and conflicts with the other races were reduced, mankind thought of finding a way to cultivate Qi normally.

It took them many years before they figured out a method to absorb spirit Qi from the environment. They gained the knowledge of meridians and the Dantian becoming more erudite.

Back then cultivation was simply absorbing the spirit Qi into one's body passively and there was no specific method as everyone figured it out on their own. Those that had good observation and perception were able to do it better than others and succeeded.

Then as time passed, the cultivators started to figure out methods to better absorb and assimilate the spirit Qi. These methods were recorded and refined, before they became the first cultivation techniques.

But it wasn't as if the cultivation techniques from back then were necessarily good than the ones that were practiced currently. In fact, even Lin Mu would have been extremely slow in cultivating had it not been for the support of the ring.

But now that he had the bloodline of the Great Slumber Bear assimilated in his body, he had overcome one of the flaws of the primordial path.

Xukong had told him that the primordial path would help him in the future, but he hadn't told him exactly how because of the restriction of the world. The simplest way he could do was to give a comparison.

He said that the primordial path was like a key that was compatible with nearly any lock, while cultivation techniques could restrict them to a lesser number of the locks.

~whoosh~

While pondering on his thoughts, Lin Mu suddenly felt a strong gust of wind passing by. The wind shook the trees and made some leaves fall from them. He looked around and spotted a group of cultivators passing by in the sky. But they were not flying on separate spirit tools, but rather on a boat of some kind. It was ten meters long and two meters wide from what Lin Mu could estimate.

It flew through the air and did not have a sail. But its speed was quite fast and whipped up winds as it passed by.

”Is that a spirit boat?” Lin Mu asked.

”Yes, that is indeed a spirit boat. A low quality one though.” Xukong confirmed.

Lin Mu gazed at the people that were sitting in the boat and saw they were wearing the same type of outfits which made him think that they belonged to a cultivation sect. By the time he saw them though, they had gotten far and thus he couldn't tell which sect they belonged to from their outfit.
