Lou Xiaoyi began to cultivate in silence. The old man's words were right, but in the world of cultivation, right and wrong always coexisted!
He knew the disadvantages of advancing rashly, so he wouldn't force himself to use extra methods to increase his cultivation!
But he also knew the meaning of staking everything on one throw! When he built his foundation, he used an abandoned Foot Soaking Pill to build his foundation, and the symbolic meaning was far greater than the actual meaning! When he was in Jin Dan, he gambled on the reverse space window, almost forcing himself into a desperate situation!
Then, what method would he use in front of the Yuanying? Until now, he still didn't have a clue! However, he subconsciously knew that this was definitely not normal because the path he had taken to get here was not normal at all!
This was not seclusion, but also seclusion. It was just that the location of his seclusion was not the cave, but the entire Yaoying Land!
He was still discussing the mysteries of swordsmanship with the Swordsman, but as time passed, the number of discussions became less and less, but the depth of the discussion became deeper and deeper. Flying swords, after all, were used to practice, and not by talking about it.
He could see the progress of each of his friends in swordsmanship, and similarly, he could also achieve his own progress through the progress of others! This was a very strange way of cultivating swordsmanship. It was a special environment and special coincidences that formed the special environment of cultivating swordsmanship in the Yaoying Land!
He still chose to cultivate both his swordsmanship and his cultivation at the same time. He didn't focus on cultivation just because his cultivation was lagging behind, because he knew that this was his own rhythm.
Because of the sword, he could achieve a balance in his state of mind during the boring process of increasing his cultivation, and not fall into a strange cycle of stagnation in his cultivation. This was efficiency.
Lou Xiaoyi was very clear that what Taoist Mao was worried about was a state of overflowing cultivation. This state was a special state of cultivation that belonged to Jin Dan cultivators. It meant that even though one's cultivation had not reached the late stage of Jin Dan, there would be an increase and decrease in cultivation. It was like a reservoir that was full of water and couldn't be increased anymore. But in reality, this state of full water was an illusion!
Because a cultivator would advance by leaps and bounds over a long period of time and use external forces to increase their strength, they would be anxious and rush to improve. This would create a false state of full Dantian, which would have a great impact on a cultivator. It would even affect a cultivator's self-evaluation of their Dantian after reaching the peak.
That was why Taoist Master Mao reminded him to be natural.
Because he had a lot of time, he didn't need to run around for trouble anymore. He finally had time to start his second and third cultivation methods.
The second cultivation method, the Five Elements Shift, had always been in the process of cultivation. It was just that he hadn't practiced it systematically. The third cultivation method, the Heavenly Heart Strategy, was an extreme expansion of the spiritual realm. It was the basic method of Xuanyuan's Internal Sword Sect's Killing Sect. It included many things that he had never touched before, such as the Three Lives.
Why do I have to cultivate all these? This was because before a cultivator became a Yuanying, they had to find a suitable direction for themselves. It was a navigation mark so that the cultivator would not be lost in the sea of cultivation!
Many people believed that the Dao Realm was something that one would only come into contact with after forming their Nascent Soul. This wasn't a big mistake. However, the real sects would tell you that the Dao Realm had to be done early.
It didn't mean that one had to go deep into a certain Dao Realm during the Jin Dan Realm. It was impossible to go deep into a certain Dao Realm, because one's vision of the realm was right there. Even someone as strong as Lou Xiaoyi, who had repeatedly made progress in the Five Elements, was only at the entry level in the eyes of a real cultivator.
The key was to determine the direction. Only when the direction was determined would the chances of forming their Nascent Soul greatly increase. Only then would they be able to solidify this direction in their Nascent Soul body and become their natal Dao Realm. Only then would they be able to make rapid progress in their cultivation after forming their Yuanying.
Was it possible to form their Nascent Soul without a direction in the Dao Realm? Of course, it was also possible. However, the process was much more difficult. It would affect the quality of the Nascent Soul and affect their cultivation after forming their Nascent Soul.
As for the choice of Dao Realm, it was not limited to the 36 Innate Great Daos. It was not limited to the 3000 Unorthodox Great Daos. In fact, even the disciples of famous sects rarely used the 36 Innate Great Daos as their Dao Realm choice when forming their Nascent Soul. It wasn't that it was bad, but it was too good. It was very difficult for good cultivators to reach it!
Using the Dao Realm to quench one's thirst for plum blossoms to stimulate oneself was very foolish!
Therefore, when it came to the choice of Dao Realm, many cultivators would choose the one that was most suitable for themselves and the one that was most in line with their hundreds of years of cultivation. The 3000 Great Daos were not a joke. There were only more, not less. Furthermore, the mid-level concepts that could be comprehended during the Jin Dan Realm were the most complicated.
Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, ice, clouds, and mist, as well as the Yellow Springs, Nether Floating, Growth, Blood River, Nether Ghost, Tide Sea, Green Mountain, Long River, Bright Moon, Setting Sun, and so on. There were even grand cultivators who joked that everything in the universe could enter the Dao Realm. As long as one was immersed in it, every blade of grass, tree, insect, and cicada would be able to comprehend the Dao.
It was all up to the cultivator to comprehend it. No one else could help, even if they were master and disciple.
Some orthodoxies had a very simple choice at this juncture. For example, the Blood River Orthodoxy. They didn't need to spend so much effort to find what they truly needed. They only had one direction – the Blood River!
Success and failure were all because of the Blood River! This was the reason why the Blood River Grand Dao could never become a Innate Great Dao! It was too exclusive and couldn't tolerate the existence of other Dao Realms!
For those legacy sects, such as the Five Rings Xuanyuan, Three Pure Ones, Supreme, Sangha, and the Nine Upper Sects of Zhou Xian, they all had one thing in common. They never restricted the direction of their disciples' Dao Realm choice. They even encouraged their disciples to follow their hearts and seek for new things and changes. This was the style of a true Upper Sect.
Lou Xiaoyi's problem was the choice of Dao Realm when breaking through to the Yuanying Realm!
Was it the Five Elements? Or was it something else?
Although he was most familiar with the Five Elements, it didn't mean that the Five Elements were the direction of his Yuanying Realm!
The reason why he was familiar with the Five Elements was because of many coincidences. It started when Sage Rui pulled him to build the Five Elements Sword Pagoda!
Then, what was the most suitable direction for his Dao Realm hidden in the depths of his soul? There was still a choice to be made!
Or was it the stars? Or was it the slaughter of the sword? Or was it fate?
In order to clarify this point, he had to come into contact with more techniques. For example, using the Five Elements Shift to determine whether he was most compatible with it? For example, using the Heavenly Heart Strategy to feel his true heart? Find a path for the future in the future of cultivation!
There were still three hundred years left. There wasn't much time!
There were troubles when he was running around. There were troubles when he was concentrating on cultivation. In short, there were endless troubles.
After Yao Ying and Little Lu joined the ranks of more than a hundred individual Swordsman, the restlessness in the cultivation world finally calmed down. Some small powers that wanted to take advantage of the situation had no choice but to lay low and continue to struggle at death's door. This was because this new batch of Swordsman, Jin Dan, was even more ferocious and fearless than the previous batch!
At least for a short period of time, Yao Ying temporarily regained its calm!
