"So, I'm just saying that the difference between realizing it early and realizing it late is not really that big?"
Xiang Shang was a little confused. If that was the case, he thought what he was doing now was indeed a waste of time.
Because he can also understand it when he reaches a higher realm, so why should he waste his precious time at this time and slow down his breakthrough to the realm?
But in his heart, there was still an intuition, or expectation, that things would never be as simple as he imagined.
"The difference is huge."
Zi Ling responded quickly and said seriously: "There is only one great road. When a great road is fully understood, there will be a powerful repulsion.
By then, if you want to understand other great principles, it will be millions of times more difficult than it is now.
The only great way will seriously interfere with your cultivation."
"Exclusivity? Once one avenue is fully understood, will it interfere with the understanding of other avenues?"
Xiang Shang asked in surprise.
"Of course it is. The biggest difficulty in cultivating in the Hedao realm is exactly like this.
If you practice various avenues now, there will be no interference, so the speed is very fast. But once a avenue reaches the later stage, the interference will become intense.
When you are truly fully enlightened and everything is integrated and perfect, that kind of repulsive force will make people crazy.
It may take you one year to understand a principle, but it would take ten, a hundred, or even a thousand years.
You know, how fast is the power of thoughts of a strong person in the Hedao realm?
If you can really understand the Tao Principles smoothly, you can make progress in a short time, why is it so difficult?"
Zi Ling explained quickly.
"I see.
Therefore, I now understand more of various avenues and practice as many Tao principles as possible. This is actually to clear obstacles for future cultivation and save countless time in the future."
Xiang Shang suddenly understood Zi Ling's intention and said slightly excitedly.
"Exactly."
Zi Ling replied with satisfaction.
Xiang Shang nodded, finally understanding the other meaning of the path he was taking.
But soon, he frowned again and said hesitantly: "But, what about the realm.
As a result, the time for me to break through to the Yuanshen realm will be postponed indefinitely.
There are three thousand avenues and countless ways. Even if it takes hundreds of years, I can't possibly understand them all.
Do I have to choose a great path at a later stage and re-take this orthodox path of cultivation?"
Xiang Shang said bitterly.
"Who said that only by fully understanding a great path can one be promoted to the Yuanshen realm?
Although no one has actually done it, some powerful people have speculated that as long as a powerful enough Dao imprint is left on the Dao Purple Pill, it will be enough to push the warrior and automatically advance to the next level.
The imprint of a great avenue can push a warrior to the level of the soul.
The Tao imprint of multiple avenues can also do the same.
However, perhaps the number of Avenue Brands required will be more than the Avenue Brands for an entire avenue.
Of course, this is actually the guess of a strong person on my part, and it cannot be considered accurate.
Maybe it's feasible, maybe it's a dead end, no one knows.
The specific choice depends on you."
In the end, Zi Ling decided to give the choice to Xiang Shang.
"In that case, I'll give it a try.
As you said, cultivating in the Hedao realm is the most time-consuming.
If you can practice as many great principles as possible at the level of entering the Tao realm, you will save countless years.
There is no need to think about how to choose.
The worst thing is, just wait until a certain time and then go back."
Thoughts flashed in Xiang Shang's mind, and he finally made a decision.
The only great way is perhaps the orthodox way of cultivation.
But many avenues go hand in hand, but they are not necessarily wrong.
At least, this will save countless time for his future cultivation.
As for whether he can cultivate to the level of Hedao realm...he has never doubted this.
In this way, Xiang Shang calmed down all his thoughts and finally entered into cultivation thoroughly.
In the previous successive battles, he had accumulated countless inspirations, insights into the principles of many great avenues, and had countless ideas.
At this moment, he finally had time to sort out these ideas one by one, and quickly sort out and improve the various principles.
Xiang Shang is immersed in his mind, and various avenues emerge in his mind. A little inspiration often becomes a huge driving force to push him forward.
The principles of various avenues are also quickly understood as these inspirations are stimulated and touched deeply.
Before, during the war, Xiang Shang had fully understood the seven principles of the great road.
At this time, after consuming the previous accumulation and completely immersing himself in cultivation, Xiang Shang's understanding of Tao principles finally reached a peak.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
When five hours passed, Xiang Shang raised his brows and showed a hint of joy.
In just a short period of time, another principle was completely understood by him.
Then, one day, two days, three days...
The number of Tao principles that he fully understood also increased accordingly.
From the original eight, it quickly broke through to nine and ten.
Soon, a month passed quietly.
Xiang Shang slowly opened his eyes, showing a hint of emotion.
“This harvest is truly huge.
The number of Tao principles that have been fully understood has reached thirteen, which is twice as much as before.
Not to mention that there are many Tao principles that will be greatly improved accordingly.
Many Tao principles have been understood from the beginning and have reached a level of 70%, 80%, or even 90%.
Even those newly aligned Tao principles have improved a lot as a result, with many exceeding 30%.
There are great terrors in life and death, but there are also great opportunities, and that's true."
Xiang Shang sighed, indeed feeling a little satisfied.
This is especially true when you realize that what you gain now may save a lot of time in the future when you are in the Hedao realm.
“But what I have to note is that I finally realized the exclusivity of the avenue.
When I fully understood the four principles of one Tao, I finally had some barriers to the cultivation of other principles.
Although this gap is very weak and can even be ignored if you don't pay attention,
But he does exist."
Xiang Shang smiled bitterly and personally confirmed the correctness of what Zi Ling just said.
And this avenue, for which he had fully comprehended the four principles, was not the avenue of power that he had comprehended at the beginning, but rather the avenue of thunder attributes that he had only begun to practice at a later stage.
He was not too surprised by this.
His physique, as well as the skills he practiced, have long since determined that he is more friendly to the thunder-attribute avenue.
