Chapter 198: Talent
Oh. I forgot how backwards the level of learning in your world was. Those damn fools have even lost such basic knowledge. Those devices that measure talent have made people forget what it really is. Cretins.
Tao Ba had to stop and turn his head to the side, spitting on the ground to show his distaste for those people. Sage was surprised, it seems that this little fellow truly values knowledge.
Ill ask you then. What do you think is the most important thing for a cultivator to advance?
Sage thought about this for a while. Hed tried to gather information on the many people who were said to have extremely high levels of talent. Those qualities he had listed before were simply things that different geniuses were said to have. From what he gathered, there wasnt some unifying trait that every one of them possessed. Instead they were all said to be possess great talent.
I have no idea. Is this going to be a trick question about perseverance, discipline, careful planning, or survival instincts?Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
Tao Ba laughed and shook his head, Hah! Okay, Ill stop torturing you. No, its not a trick question. Those things are certainly necessary to make a powerful cultivator, but we are talking merely about success at cultivating itself and not life philosophies. Think of it this way, to cultivate you must perceive and control the Qi of the heavens and earth. You draw it in, manipulate it through your body and accumulate it. Once you have enough, it transforms the body and takes you into a higher level of existence.
Ill just have to add it to the list of things to research in the future.
Distracted by the concept of talent, Sage remembered that he was in the middle of trying to rebuild his cultivation. He once again slipped into a state of meditation and send his senses inward. He had already drawn in enough energy earlier to saturate his body, which meant hed just barely reached the qualifications of a cultivator. With a bit of a closer look he realized it wasnt just that breathing exercise. As a beast, hed been consuming many other creatures and the Qi naturally built up inside his body. It was the method that Demonic Beasts used to cultivate. The most powerful of them would have their own Qi Cultivation Methods in their ancestral memories, but the vast majority of them merely accumulated their energy by consuming others. It seems he was already close to ranking up by mere accumulation.
The last step to becoming a true rank one cultivator was to circulate his energy with a Qi Cultivation Technique. Very quickly he started to guide the energy through his meridians in the manner that hed learned from the Seed of Life. He named it the Life Nebula technique, merely because of what it seemed to do to the energy within his dantian. Slowly at first, but then with rapidly increasing speed, the energy of the heavens and earth was drawn into his body. It was so very thin, a light vapor or mist seeping through his body. All he could do was fan it along, creating a gentle breeze at different spots in his body to alter the flow and force it to follow the route he wished.
After following the route for Life Nebula a few dozen times it suddenly got faster all on its own. The energy began to move on its own, collecting within his dantian and starting to build up. Very rapidly, Sage felt his body being cleansed by the flowing Qi. Sage didnt move from that spot, maintaining the Life Nebula technique. He quickly lost track of time and very soon found that the vaporous Qi had condensed into a liquid. Within his dantian the swirling cloud had transformed into a puddle of liquid. Or at least it seemed like a puddle of liquid. Looking closer, Sage could see each individual droplet was shimmering like a mote of starlight.
At this moment he felt something happening outside and it drew his attention. While he was still circulating the Life Nebula technique he opened his eyes and saw the five Heavenly Treasures flying towards him. If he were to suddenly stop his cultivation it was quite likely he would suffer from a qigong deviation. That is to say, a problem in his psychological or mental state from the intense disruption. It was already bad enough to open his eyes at this point. Worrying certainly wouldnt help him right now, so he chose to close his eyes and focus on circulating the Life Nebula technique.
A terrible force smashed against his body, crushing him from all sides. He imagined this might be what it felt like to be thrown into a trash compactor. The force suddenly subsided to be replaced by a massive pain from his abdomen. Within his dantian he watched as that mystical realm was torn asunder. In the past the dantian and meridians were like an invisible and mystical extra layer inside his body. At this point, he got to see in gruesome detail as those five heavenly treasures ripped through his body and tore their way into his dantian. In the past theyd smoothly entered into that other layer of being on their own, but this time they shoved their way in by force.
The pain was overwhelming and Sage almost immediately lost consciousness, though he could swear he heard a deep laughter as his thoughts faded away.
