Chapter 891: Schools
Even on the Inner World, Sages time was limited. Especially considering his personal lack of talent. As hed discovered many years ago, the Spiritual Root was the source of talent and it was essentially the level of perception related to Qi and somehow related to the connection between the body and soul. In a way, Sages lack of talent was like trying to perform precision tasks with bad vision. With enough practice he could assemble a watch full of tiny interconnecting gears and parts, but it would be many times easier for someone with very sharp vision and a magnifying glass.
Sages lack of talent meant he took hundreds of times longer than geniuses to learn and master different techniques. The Inner World giving him hundreds of times longer to practice only served to level the playing field with those greatest of talents. There was no way he would dare to try and learn every possible technique he had access to. There were many legends of Cultivators using only a single simple technique and constantly training and improving it until it took them to the highest levels of power. It was only after his Thermal Law exceeded his Corruption Law that he dared to diversify from the path of the Jade Mantle that hed been focusing on.
In fact, Sage wished he could focus more of his efforts upon mastering the Heavenly Materials that he had acquired. There were many Cultivators that focused all their efforts upon one and had greatly exceeded all their peers because of their unique abilities. The problem was that they acted differently on the Inner World in comparison to the outside world which meant he couldnt take advantage of the faster time frame to practice with them. It was somewhat disappointing, but he was stuck between using a stronger weapon versus one he had deep experience and practice with. Thinking this far, Sage realized that as he deepened his familiarity with fire and water controlling techniques it also benefited his control of the fire and water Heavenly Materials.
Seems this change was for the better after all.
While training hard on the Inner World, Sage started to travel again on the outside world. He stopped in Black Cloud again to do some business, selling off a large quantity of materials. The multi-year gap was an excuse for him to build up a large store again so the shops wouldnt be suspicious. He had already made great gains from the thermal vent and it would likely take decades more to make marginal improvements. Instead he continued on his trip, traveling from one Depths city to the next to build up his supply of Spirit Pearls and Stones. He stopped worrying about catching fish or exploration and purely traveled from one city to the next at his top speed. There were a few close calls with high tier Demonic Beasts, but he was able to shoot away from them all and continue onwards.
Haha, to think that fighting giant monsters deep under the sea for a decade would become a vacation for me. Ive come so far from those days of being trapped in a mine and coming out to find my clan completely destroyed.
Others might think hed come quite far in a few centuries, but he knew the real turning point was the many millenia hed spent on the Inner World. Changing the Twin Soul into a Soul Clone and permanently stationing it on the Inner World was the real turning point for him to become a real powerhouse. Not only did it empower him, but all that time also served to change his mindset. Hed spent so long on the run and in fear that finally getting hundreds of years in complete safety to raise a family had finally soothed all those mental wounds. He was finally secure enough to pursue his real dreams. He let his descendants take over for the heavy obligation the ancient ancestors had put on his shoulders and went off to explore the world.
This first venture out into the world without having to worry about rebuilding the Lang Clan and constantly in fear of being hunted down was very liberating. The enemies he made were because of his own choices and the risks he took were because he chose to take them, not thrust upon him by old enemies of his family or those who targeted him for his abilities. The Depths was filled with so many foreign cultivators and controlled by a greater power. The neutrality and diversity there was very refreshing. He was targeted for his wealth, not for his name or what powers he had.
Unfortunately, it was time to return to the real world.
Sage stepped into that secluded chamber in the Merciful Mollusk and held up the token hed paid a large sum for. An unusual form of energy spilled out of the token and wrapped around his body, shielding him as the Transportation Formation sprung to life and shot him through space.
