Chapter 614: Chapter 31 Earth_2
And Hu Zaixi didn’t play coy, he calmly stated the reason:
“It’s simply due to the change of tis and the adaptation to the circumstances.”
“The cultivation thods passed down in the Jade Slip are without a doubt, the grand expressway to the ultimate principle of heaven and earth. However, the path of the ancients may not necessarily be retraced by the present generation. If we were to strictly follow the cultivation thods in the Jade Slip, we would end up like one carving a boat to seek a sword, or climbing a tree to catch a fish in vain.”
“Therefore, the cultivation thods must be adapted according to individuals and circumstances.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba was struck with sudden realization.
This would be like soone telling you that to reach Foundation Establishnt, all you need to do is cultivate.
...
Yet totally ignoring the fact that so people have Spiritual Roots and so do not, as well as the difference in quality between Spiritual Roots.
The True Yang Wutu Sutra is just like that. Although it was a suitable cultivation thod for the ancients and its principles are flawless, it may not be suitable for the current tis.
Only by adjusting the cultivation thod according to one’s own circumstances can the objective of successful cultivation be achieved.
However, adjusting a cultivation thod is extrely difficult for cultivators. Without sufficient understanding of the cultivation thod, how could one easily make adjustnts?
Wang Ba couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
If it is this troubleso, and everyone needs to make adjustnts, then how could Thick Earth Peak handle so many people?
Wouldn’t the high-class cultivators of the Thick Earth Peak be exhausted?
He hesitated for a while, but did not ask this question.
However, Hu Zaixi took the initiative to say:
“Of course, to perform such complex work for every cultivator is not only unrealistic but also unrealistic. Therefore, this cultivation thod within the peak is only bestowed on those with exceptional talent and extraordinary temperant. For the ordinary disciples, they learn a simplified version and only if they show prospects of further progress in the later stage, is it revised. But you don’t have to worry, I will definitely help you find the most suitable way to cultivate.”
Wang Ba hurriedly thanked him again.
Hu Zaixi waved his hand: “So, now you have two choices in front of you.”
“The first, is to remove the branches and concentrate on the main trunk.”
“The second, is to not be picky and bring together everything.”
Wang Ba was once again taken aback and asked hesitantly: “May I ask Uncle Master, what’s the difference?”
“There is a difference, of course. The forr is simple, focusing only on the fundantal aspects of Earth sutra. It’s focused and comprehensive, relying more on personal talents. The latter, by comparison, is much more complex. It requires mastery of many instructions included in the True Yang Wutu Sutra, to fully integrate them smoothly so that they are beneficial in all circumstances. This is hard work, but also the quickest.”
“After all, there are no shortcuts in cultivation.”
Hu Zaixi explained.
Wang Ba instantly understood.
The first choice is shorthand, choosing only the most important parts to learn.
But the second one doesn’t differ much from what the disciples of Thick Earth Peak do, appears to be more elaborate, but it’s also more powerful.
Of course, if one’s talent is exceptional, then the first option is in no way inferior to the second.
Thinking, he raised his hand and asked: “May I ask Uncle Master, which one did my Master Yao Wudi choose in the past?”
“Him?”
Hu Zaixi hesitated for a while before saying: “I’m not sure…I heard my master say that your master adjusted the cultivation thod himself and never asked for our help…”
Wang Ba: “Uh…”
That really sounded like his master’s style.
Always full of surprises.
But he still found it hard to believe: “Adjusting the cultivation thod is of such high difficulty. At the ti when master Yao Wudi was cultivating the True Yang Wutu Sutra, his realm probably wasn’t high, right?”
“It wasn’t high. I heard it was around the sa as you, starting to learn during the Foundation Establishnt… but the difference between people can be much greater than one might think. I won’t comnt on other things about your master Yao Wudi, but his innate talent was truly rare. In fact, if one has a profound understanding of or is extrely sensitive to the Dao of Five Elents, it is not impossible.”
Hu Zaixi genuinely praised.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba felt a sense of pride.
However, after so careful consideration, he decided to humbly inquire further from Hu Zaixi:
“Uncle Master, which one would you recomnd more?”
“?”
Upon hearing this, Hu Zaixi didn’t refuse. After pondering, he gave his answer:
“As the Dharma Lineage requires simultaneous cultivation of various paths, the faster you cultivate, the better. So from this perspective, the first choice is naturally better.”
“However, if you choose the first path, in order to make the True Yang Wutu Sutra respond as easily as moving arm, it is indispensable to compare notes with those who cultivate the sa way, learn from others’ strength, and thereby reach the peak.”
“Your Master Yao Wudi used to often duel in the Sect and might have taken the first path.”
“The second path is not as troubleso, although it requires more energy and ti. But once mastered, a little practice will help you to stand firm.”
“So how you choose depends on your own consideration.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldn’t help but frown.
He was initially inclined to choose the shortcut.
However, after hearing that after taking the shortcut, frequent fighting is required to verify one’s skills in order to perfect their cultivation, he imdiately hesitated.
This combative approach was indeed completely contrary to his character.
With years of cultivation, he had gradually understood his own nature.
Plain and unambitious, a man who liked to cultivate quietly and live in peace.
If he were pushed into a corner, he would not evade a fight. But in normal circumstances, he wasn’t really interested in battles.
So after a brief consideration, he made up his mind:
“Uncle Master, I would like to choose the second option.”
“The second?”
Upon hearing Wang Ba’s decision, while Hu Zaixi was a bit surprised, he didn’t say anything else, he just nodded:
