Eight hundred and ninetieth chapters practice direction
He never imagined that his path of cultivation would be a fork in the road.
He has always felt very satisfied and proud that he was able to practice so many principles and practice them to a very profound level.
As a result, Zi Ling commented that this was a waste of time and energy...
Naturally, he was a little unconvinced.
"Of course it's a fork in the road, a fork in the road.
Human energy is always limited. Even a real person who has entered the Taoist realm only has a lifespan of one thousand years.
It is extremely difficult to completely open a great avenue and practice it to perfection within this thousand years, let alone waste time cultivating other attributes of the Tao.
In fact, truly brilliant practitioners only practice one avenue when they enter the Tao realm.
For example, if you practice the fire-attribute avenue and become a real person who has entered the Dao realm, you will usually continue to study this avenue until you have fully comprehended all the nine fire-attribute avenues, and you can naturally enter the Yuanshen realm.
And like you, you have practiced one or two principles of this avenue, practiced a few of that avenue, and now you have practiced ten kinds of avenues scatteredly. Although it does not affect your martial arts promotion in the Dao realm, it will invisibly improve your martial arts.
A lot of time was wasted.
In fact, with your qualifications, it is generally impossible to encounter bottlenecks from the initial stage of the Dao Realm to the intermediate stage of the Dao Dao Realm. It is precisely because of scattered cultivation that you are stuck at the initial stage of the Dao Dao Realm.
Can break through.”
Zi Ling said angrily.
"There are nine fire-attributed avenues in total? If the nine heavenly paths are perfected, can one naturally break through to the realm of the soul?
Are the other attributes and principles also the nine principles?"
Xiang Shang was surprised and asked quickly.
As for the general Taoist warriors who mainly practice one Taoist principle, he is also clear about it.
For example, Zhuge Zhenren majored in the Taoist discipline of metal.
There are also other real people who have entered the Dao realm that Xiang Shang has come into contact with, and many of them are like this.
But there are also people who, in addition to majoring in one avenue, also assist in cultivating other avenues.
For example, Jianwu Zhenyao majors in the Dao of Swords.
However, he is also quite accomplished in the fire-attribute avenue, and the flame cage he created brought some trouble to Xiang Shang in the early days.
There is also Chen Beixuan, who is extremely profound in the Way of Sword, but he also masters the principles of the Way of Speed, the Way of Power, etc.
Sometimes understanding the Tao is really beyond your control. When the opportunity comes, you will understand it.
Just like when Xiang Shang used the hundred-year-old ice soul before, he suddenly gained access to a great path of time.
Can he say that he should give up and continue to understand?
Therefore, although he felt that what Zi Ling said was very reasonable, in the end he could not help but lead to the path he is now on.
In the end, he could only conclude that Jian Wu, Chen Beixuan, and himself were not ordinary Daoist real people.
"Generally speaking, the basic attributes of the avenue are nine principles, such as the Five Elements Avenue.
The Avenue of Thunder, the Avenue of Speed, and the Avenue of Power are also one of the basic avenues, so they can be roughly divided into nine principles.
However, some special avenues are more powerful and weird, so the number of them is actually more.
For example, the Dao of Light and Darkness, the Dao of Yin and Yang, the Dao of Swords, the Dao of Reincarnation... they are all above the nine principles, ten, eleven, or twelve are all possible."
While Zi Ling was explaining, Xiang Shang quickly interrupted and asked: "What about the Avenue of Time and the Avenue of Space?"
"These two great avenues, because of their special nature, have thirteen principles. The two supreme avenues are not only powerful in themselves, but also more difficult to practice. The number of combined principles is also greater than other principles.
Avenue.
These two avenues are also the only two that have thirteen principles found in the world of cultivation.
In fact, no one has yet successfully cultivated one of the two supreme avenues.
The one with the highest achievement seems to be the Lord of the Devouring Nothing in Hell, who has fully understood the nine principles of space, and has also taken a solid step in the tenth principle of space.
Now that thousands of years have passed, no one knows whether he has understood the tenth principle of space."
Zi Ling's tone was unusually serious and gritted.
This person is definitely one of the greatest enemies of the entire cultivation world in the star realm.
When Daojun Xingchen fell, it was also due to his handiwork.
"By the way, since you know the reason why I'm stuck in a bottleneck, why don't you remind me?"
Xiang Shang heard that Zi Ling's tone was unusually serious and low, so he quickly changed the topic.
"It's just that I haven't broken through in five or six years. In my opinion, it's not a bottleneck at all.
And if you don’t tell me, I don’t know how far you have progressed in Taoist cultivation.
It wasn’t until you gained enlightenment and had the opportunity to cross this bottleneck that I realized what was going on.
Besides, your cultivation speed in the early stage is too fast. Staying at the initial stage of Taoism for a while is not necessarily a bad thing.
Only through accumulation can you make progress. Without those five years of accumulation, you would not have been able to perfect all the five principles of Taoism so quickly and break through to the high level of Taoism in one fell swoop."
Zi Ling said dumbfounded.
"That's true."
Xiang Shang smiled, his cultivation speed was indeed too fast.
It is normal for ordinary cultivators, even geniuses, to stay at the initial stage of Taoism for three to five years.
This is still the stage of recovery in the star realm, and there are countless opportunities.
If it were any other time period, even if we stayed for ten, twenty, thirty or fifty years, no one would make a fuss.
"But you haven't answered my question yet."
Suddenly, Xiang Shang came back to his senses and said with a wry smile.
"Do you want to integrate the power of Taoism from other avenues to bring out your full strength?
To achieve this, it is actually very simple to say, just integrate the Tao principles.
Countless avenues combine to form the entire star realm.
Therefore, even avenues with different attributes can be integrated.
Therefore, fusion can fully unleash the power of your imagination.
But how to do it... let’s wait until you reach the Yuanshen realm, or even the Hedao realm.”
Zi Ling smiled lightly and said.
"Is there no other way?"
Xiang Shang asked unwillingly.
"Of course, this method is the only way you can do it."
"What method?"
"Create your own great supernatural power.
Only great supernatural powers can fuse the power of these many principles into one and bring them into play.
However, I don’t recommend you do this, at least not when you enter the Taoist realm.
When you enter Taoism, you should actually focus on cultivating Taoism. Don’t think so much about other things.
Thousands of years are actually very short. When you reach the Yuanshen realm and your lifespan can reach three thousand, it won't be too late to consider it."
