“The road of cultivation becomes harder the further you walk. Others will have a difficulty increase of 10 times, but for you, you will have an increase in difficulty of a 100 times!” Chi Qiu Bai said, “And that’s precisely because your Dao and heart are not united! When you are going to condense your True Deity Heart, I will have nothing I can guide you on. According to legends… if a Deity did not have his Dao and heart in line, he would even see his Deity heart shatter into pieces, and he would eventually run amok before dying in the end.”
Situ Hong turned pale as he heard that.
He could discern clearly that Chi Qiu Bai was not lying to him.
“Dao united with the heart represents the condensation of the True Deity Heart.” Faction Head Si Kong Yang shook his head, “You shouldn’t feel so despondent. Right now, you are only trying to comprehend your True Meaning. Right now, you are already on the third level in Realms of Myriad Existences and are missing just a single step.”
“Right, I’m missing a single step.” Situ Hong shook his head continuously, “I will definitely succeed.”
“Hmph, how long did you spend to reach the third level from the second level of Myriad Existences?” Chi Qiu Bai snorted, “I dare say, you will spend ten times the time before being able to grasp hold of your True Meaning.”
Situ Hong was stunned.
At least ten times?
He spent too long at the second level of Myriad Existences – more than 200 years! One must know that a Saint Transcendent only had 1500 years of lifespan, thus ensuring that he would not have enough time to grasp hold of his True Meaning.
“That time when you became a Transcendent, you depended on the Profound Mystery of Space.” Si Kong Yang frowned, “And you’ve already cultivated for 300 over years. How can you not like the Profound Mystery related to Space even now?
Demigods setting down a direction…
Was not something done randomly. Instead, it was dependent on what the Transcendent was good at.
For instance, Xue Ying was good at the Profound Mystery of Water and Fire, thus allowing the Demigod to set down this direction and not any other random direction. If he really walked down this path of the True Meaning of Water and Fire, at the most, he would be immersed in it in about 100 to 200 years down the road. This could also be said to be a type of self-hypnosis. Even if it was not something one initially loved from the bottom of his heart, if he spent enough time on it, he would start liking it.
“I, I…” Situ Hong shook his head, “I’ve only felt that the True Meaning related to Space is very overbearing, and that I have a chance to improve it to the True Meaning of Great Destruction with just a single step. That’s why I decided to continue and comprehend it.”
“You think that it’s formidable, thus you decided to comprehend it?” Chi Qiu Bai did not know whether to cry or laugh.
“Then what should I do?” Situ Hong was anxious, “What should I do now?”
Chi Qiu Bai, Gong Yu, Si Kong Yang and the Infernal Palace Palace Head looked at each other.
This sort of situation was rare.
It did not happened with Yu Feng, Zhang Peng and Pu Yang Bo. Very few Transcendents would see this situation happening.
And people like Xue Ying was even rarer – he only wanted to chase after his fanatical love of spear techniques. Even if other people reprimanded him to and tried to force him to change, it would be useless. His heart was firm.
“There are two methods,” Chi Qiu Bai said.
Situ Hong brightened.
“First, restart all over again,” Chi Qiu Bai said. “Switch to another cultivation direction that you love and something that you would do for long periods of time.”
“No no, I’ve cultivated for over 300 years. How can I restart all over again?” Situ Hong shook his head, “As for the other?”
“The other is to ground your inner heart,” Chi Qiu Bai said. “For instance, become an ascetic cultivator. Go to all the different places and refine your inner heart and broaden it. Once your character changes, your efficiency in comprehending the Profound Mystery related to Space will greatly increase.”
“An ascetic cultivator?” Situ Hong was unwilling.
He looked down upon those people.
Transcendents should be a proud existence, someone looking down on the countless mortals like ants. So why must he cultivate in hardship amongst the many mortals and act like a beggar?
“Alright, the time for me to give pointers will stop here temporarily,” Chi Qiu Bai said. “What I’ve said are just suggestions. What you should do should still be based on your own decisions.”
“Senior Eternal Wind, we’ve not been given any pointers,” Wen Yong An could not help but blurt out.
