Chapter 514: Predestined (1/2)
[Why do cultivation paths exist? So that there would be a guideline for their lives of course and to lessen the risk of walking the wrong path and dying due to a wrong meridian path being used in the earlier stages.
[The cultivation stages were built upon by the millions of bodies needed to perfect the path. In the span of Wang Ling's lifetimes, he was presented with two different predetermined cultivation paths with their own stages.
[The first was the Celestial cultivation and which extended to Godhood. That path was created naturally over time. The weak watched the strong, mimicked the Beasts, copied the Primordial Races, and eventually learned the flow of life.
[Slowly, throughout eons the Primordial Races or mainly, the Origin Races watched as the beings created by the All-Father and the Mother of Beast flourish.
[They did not kill them out of jealousy, simply, they watched them, and even guided them in time of need. Of course, this would become a forgotten Era, where the Primordials walk among cultivators.
[Eventually, this time would be forgotten, but, that is not what is important. The importance of this is that it grows yet still changed when the appearance of the Emperor of Death threatened to use their people against each other.
[The cultivation path of the strong in this Era was created so that cultivators' souls have the choice to be completely destroyed upon death. They would vanish from the annals of existence themselves, where death would truly be the end.
[For the thousands of years, only a few had been to the Wheel of Reincarnation and all of this was caused by the war that birthed the current cultivation path. The nine cultivation realms that abandon conventions in favor of quick improvement and burst of strength. The ceiling would be lower, but in turn, have a much lesser variability.
[Only a few have domains, Ancestor-Class cultivators are so few in numbers that they do not even reach fifty. But, what does this entail about me… what does it matter how cultivation has a change in the face of my own Essence of Origin where the start of power began… why is it important to me?]
Wang Ling could no longer see even with his eyes. The only thing he could do was feel, and allow his mind to wander searching for the answer he so seeks. He knows not about the sphere he was in, but he was aware of the vessel needed to be created for his sake.
He gathered information from what the Primordials told him of the past. Gathering the most valuable of information was the insight from the past that evolves the present and the coming future. Wang Ling gathered everything he could, scraping at the walls if he had to just to understand what he could not grasp.
For Wang Ling, currently, time was irrelevant. He knows it flows but in the state of him infused in the Essence of Origin's power, all of it was unnecessary and paltry variables in the face of true power.
In a trance, Wang Ling's thoughts had never been focused. He was in a fight with his inner self, forming the necessary body that could hold the power that he seeks.
The path he was searching for was nowhere to be found in all the cultivation paths, thus he is seeking out why they exist. He needed to understand their necessity so he could understand what he needs most.
Cultivation is many things, not just power. Many consider it discipline, while others simply a way to pass the time.
