"What about the Golden Cicada Unfettered Technique?" Elder Tang broke the silence.
Lu Ye quickly took out the Golden Cicada Unfettered Technique from his storage bag and handed it to Elder Tang.
Elder Tang took it, flipped through it, and nodded slightly. "A very common Yellow Grade Cultivation Method. Once cultivated to perfection, one can open 27 apertures."
Lu Ye could understand the 27 apertures mentioned by Elder Tang. When he studied the Golden Cicada Unfettered Technique, he discovered this point. If this Cultivation Method was cultivated to perfection, one could open a total of 27 apertures.
However, Lu Ye didn't understand the Yellow Grade Cultivation Method and immediately asked the question in his heart.
Elder Tang explained, "The human body has three hundred and sixty Spiritual Cavities, which correspond to the Great Heavenly Cycle. The cultivation world of the Nine Provinces has countless cultivation techniques, and different cultivation techniques can open different amounts of Spiritual Cavities. Depending on the amount of Spiritual Cavities that can be opened, the cultivation techniques are also divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Only Heaven Grade cultivation techniques can open three hundred and sixty Spiritual Cavities, while Earth Grade cultivation techniques can only open one hundred and eighty Spiritual Cavities. Below that, there are also Profound Grade cultivation techniques that can open eighty Spiritual Cavities …" He pointed at the Golden Cicada Carefree Technique in his hand, "The lowest grade is this Yellow Grade cultivation technique that can only open twenty-seven Spiritual Cavities.
Listening to Elder Tang's words, Lu Ye suddenly understood.
Originally, the Golden Cicada Unfettered Technique was the most trashy Cultivation Method in the Nine Regions. No wonder it was carried by Manager Yang.
Fortunately, he didn't treat this thing as a treasure, otherwise, he would have become a laughingstock.
"Different levels of cultivation methods not only determine the number of spiritual cavities a cultivator can open in the end, it also creates a huge gap in strength between cultivators of the same realm. At the same time, the future prospects of cultivators are also different."
"The higher the rank of the Cultivation Method, the stronger the cultivator, and the brighter their future prospects?" Lu Ye asked.
"This is the truth." Elder Tang nodded. "Do you know why?"
"Please enlighten me." Lu Ye humbly asked for guidance.
Elder Tang organized his thoughts a little, as if thinking about how to explain it more clearly to Lu Ye. He hadn't told anyone about these things for many years. After a while, he asked, "Do you know the division of cultivation realms?"
"Spirit Stream, Cloud River, True Lake, and Divine Sea, the four Great Realms." Lu Ye replied. This was what Yu Xiaodie told him.
"Then what is Ling Xi?"
Lu Ye recalled what Yu Xiaodie had said to her before and replied, "Open enough Spiritual Cavities so that your Spiritual Power can flow through these Spiritual Cavities and form a Heavenly Cycle, flowing like a stream. That is the Spirit Stream Realm."
"That's right!" Elder Tang stroked his beard. "Then how many spiritual cavities are considered enough?"
"This …" Lu Ye was at a loss for words.
Old Tang smiled faintly as he pointed at the Golden Cicada Free and Unfettered Secret Art in his hand. "If you cultivate this Secret Art, opening nine apertures will allow you to reach the First Order Spirit Stream Realm, opening eighteen apertures will allow you to reach the Second Order Spirit Stream Realm, and opening twenty-seven apertures will allow you to reach the Third Order Spirit Stream Realm."
Lu Ye immediately noticed something was wrong, "Isn't Ling Xi a Ninth-Order master?"
"A Yellow Grade Secret Art can only be cultivated up to the Third Order Spirit Stream Realm, so its grade is the lowest. If you cultivate a Profound Grade Secret Art, you can reach the Sixth Order Spirit Stream Realm. As for an Earth Grade Secret Art, you can reach the Ninth Order Spirit Stream Realm. If you cultivate a Heaven Grade Secret Art …"
"Twelfth Order?" Lu Ye looked surprised. He had never heard of a Twelfth Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator before.
Elder Tang smiled and shook his head. "It's still the ninth floor."
Lu Ye was puzzled. "Why is that?"
Elder Tang explained, "Because different Secret Arts cultivate different Secret Arts, the corresponding number of Spiritual Cavities is different for the same realm. The Golden Cicada Unfettered Secret Art only needs to open nine Spiritual Cavities to reach the First Order Spirit Stream Realm, but if you cultivate a Heaven Grade Secret Art, you need to open eighteen Spiritual Cavities to reach this realm. If you cultivate an Earth Grade Secret Art, you will reach the Ninth Order Spirit Stream Realm after opening 180 Spiritual Cavities, but if you cultivate a Heaven Grade Secret Art, you will only reach the Sixth Order Spirit Stream Realm after opening 180 Spiritual Cavities. "
Lu Ye faintly understood. "Elder Tang means that the higher the grade of the Secret Art one cultivates, the more Spiritual Cavities one needs to open in order to reach the same realm?"
"That's right."
"In that case, the difference in cultivation level between cultivators can't be used as a basis to judge their strength?"
If a Ninth Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator who cultivated an Earth Grade Secret Art only opened 180 Spiritual Cavities, if he met a Seventh Order Spirit Stream Realm cultivator who cultivated a Heaven Grade Secret Art, he would definitely not be his opponent, because the other party had opened more than 180 Spiritual Cavities.
Lu Ye instantly understood the meaning of Elder Tang's words. If it was like this, then if the grade of the Secret Art was different, there would often be a huge difference in strength between cultivators of the same realm, and even their future prospects would be affected.
"Headmaster, since Heaven Grade Secret Art is so good, then why doesn't everyone cultivate Heaven Grade Secret Art? What's the point of the existence of Earth, Mystic, and Yellow Grade Secret Arts? Could it be that Heaven Grade Secret Arts are very difficult to obtain? "
Elder Tang said with a smile, "Although Heaven Grade Secret Arts are not easy to obtain, as long as one has enough perseverance, even loose cultivators have the chance to obtain them. The reason why there hasn't been a situation where everyone cultivates Heaven Grade Secret Arts is because every cultivator has their own limit, the limit of opening Spiritual Cavities! "
"The limit of opening Spiritual Cavities?"
"At the beginning of cultivation, opening Spiritual Cavities is difficult, but as the number of Spiritual Cavities in one's body increases, and one's cultivation increases, opening Spiritual Cavities will become relatively easier, and finally reach a limit. Once this limit is reached, it will be very, very difficult for a cultivator to open more Spiritual Cavities. Even if there is a better Secret Art in front of one's eyes, so what? For a cultivator whose limit is 180 Spiritual Cavities, cultivating Heaven Grade Secret Arts is meaningless, so when it comes to cultivation, one should act according to one's ability. "
"So that's how it is." Lu Ye understood.
"Moreover, at the beginning of cultivation, it is actually better to cultivate Yellow Grade Secret Arts."
"Because it's easier?"
"That's right. Yellow Grade Secret Arts require opening nine Spiritual Cavities to reach the first layer of the Spiritual Stream Realm, but if one wants to cultivate Heaven Grade Secret Arts, then one needs to open eighteen Spiritual Cavities. The earlier one can let spiritual power flow through the Spiritual Cavities and reach the Spiritual Stream Realm, the earlier one can increase the efficiency of cultivation. Therefore, in the cultivation world, regardless of whether it is loose cultivators with no backing or disciples from famous sects, when they first start cultivating, they usually start with Yellow Grade Secret Arts. Once they reach the peak of Yellow Grade Secret Arts, they can change to other Secret Arts. "
Actually, Elder Tang didn't explain everything about changing one's Secret Arts.
Only those rogue cultivators who didn't have a strong foundation or the disciples of small clans who didn't make the cut would use Yellow Rank cultivation methods to start their cultivation.
Although changing one's Secret Arts didn't have too many hidden dangers, it was still somewhat troublesome. Those with a bit of background would choose Profound Grade or Earth Grade Secret Arts, because regardless of whether it was Yellow Grade, Profound Grade, or Earth Grade, the first layer of the Spiritual Stream Realm required opening nine Spiritual Cavities. There was no difference.
Only when a cultivator had opened their Spiritual Cavities to the extreme would they change to Heaven Grade Secret Arts. If they didn't have that ability, then they could only try to break through.
However, Elder Tang considered that Lu Ye only had the talent of a One Leaf cultivator and probably wouldn't be able to open many Spiritual Cavities in his lifetime. A Yellow Grade Secret Art was enough for him.
Of course, Elder Tang didn't say this out loud, nor did he look down on Lu Ye. As a Sect Leader, he taught Lu Ye with great care and patience.
"As for what you said before about this Secret Art being an Evil Art …" Elder Tang raised his eyelids and looked at Lu Ye solemnly. "Remember, there is no good or evil in Secret Arts. People are divided into good and evil. No matter what Secret Art it is, it is only used for cultivation. What truly determines good and evil is a person's nature. There is no lack of people with evil natures in Grand Heaven Alliance, but there are also many people with noble morals in Myriad Devil Ridge. "
"This disciple will remember," Lu Ye said respectfully.
