Chapter 161

The Dao

Li Chengfeng had no idea that within a prison cell deep beneath Spiritual Mountain, his beloved Uncle Kun was enduring the worst torture known to

Right now, the er as soon as possible!

But the path of cultivation was long Was it really so he could achieve that quickly?

Most importantly, he had not even learned what cultivation was He did not kno to use ical items or wield powerful arrays

After bidding Su You and the rest farewell, he returned to his quarters, had his dinner, then focused on studying 'Notes for Cultivation' by the fire To him, the procedures were not as important because his body came with its own unique cultivation y of Foundation Solidification' and 'Cultivating Qi' were not books he needed to read urgently either

However, Chengfeng knew that while cultivation enerally the same While 'Notes for Cultivation' did not teach cultivationone's inner demons, it talked about the major philosophies of cultivation and thelacked

Chengfeng had questions like, what is e? How does one control it?

The book explained it in detail using concepts that were convincing enough to this stranger to cultivation

'Notes for Cultivation' depicted the history of y: the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire and earth Usually, a cultivator would choose to cultivate in down one path If a person naturally hadmetal element spells

A person ood attributes would find wood spells the easiest

Most people only had one attribute, it was very rare for anyone to have two A long tiical abilities surfaced, cultivators only specialised in one type of spell casting that caused severe imbalances of power chains A could defeat B easily, yet B could beat C to the ends of the world, and in turn C could beat A

This peculiar phenomenon left the world's cultivators dissatisfied They did not only yearn for transcension beyond the mortal reincarnation cycle, they yearn more the ability to conquer the world!

Sometimes, the cultivators realised, there were extremely rare cultivators who had double attributes They searched far and wide for these double attribute holders and studied how they got these abilities

After long research, they realised that it was naturally passed down bloodlines This ability could be inherited throughchildren

This bloodline was soe between cultivators, the ability was also passed down descendants

After a long ti double attributes became common Soon, everyone realised that one person could not have two elemental attributes that were detrimental to each other, for example fire and water

At this point, ical cultivation had entered its second millennium

During this second enius realised that cultivators were not restricted to the two attributes they had Using the concept of the five ele

This revelation was theworld With this, they discovered the two !

Chengfeng's eyes shone as he read this paragraph The explanations were so concise that even a time-traveller like him could understand it

The concept was simple: when the five-ele; when the five-element wheel rotated anti-clockwise, this was Yin!

[TL Note: clockwise means to nourish (wood nourishes fire, etc); source: wikipedia]

Li Chengfeng clapped at the ingenuity of it!

One line of wisdoe!

If this book tried to explain in detail what Yin and Yang was and their sources, Chengfeng would have been very bored

Yet just this sih to shake him to his core!

If clockas Yang and anti-clockas Yin, then when two random elements were combined, would they result in different reactions?

“Young Master, what do you think of this?” Zhao Xiaobao was engrossed in the book 'Cultivating Qi' but was pulled aside by Chengfeng to talk about their learnings from 'Notes for Cultivation'

Su Yuehan was currently reading 'Book of Arrays' While she looked like she was concentrating hard, she had actuallyin it While they chatted, she strained her ears to listen and prepared to find an opportunity to give them a few 'casual pointers'
