Chapter 767: Chapter 546: Return
"Power cannot increase infinitely, and skill cannot become endlessly refined. The two of them chose to turn back and make up for their shortcomings in technique after establishing a certain foundation of power, and then move forward together once they are supplemented."
This was the answer Chen Zhixing came up with after communicating with Sos.
A cultivation method very much in the style of Sect tradition, ensuring that the foundation is solid during the early stages. Only when the foundation is sturdy will one not be stuck in place when encountering thresholds that require a solid base to surpass in the future.
Of course, it could also be said differently.
Yimiao and Li Er focused on technical training because the progress of their cultivation growth was too slow.
They couldn’t advance!
Yimiao’s talent limitation is the Seventh Order, while Li Er’s is slightly better at the Ninth Order.
This was the answer Chen Zhixing thought most fitting after his reflection.
Upon arriving at this answer, Chen Zhixing also found it somewhat unbelievable, as he considered both Yimiao and Li Er to be among the rare exceptional talents he met in the Celestial Profound Realm. Given their talents, their limits shouldn’t be this low.
Then he realized, the methods these two cultivated weren’t the Celestial Profound Realm Technique, but rather techniques applicable across the Ten Thousand Realms.
"They aren’t stuck; rather, after breaking through to their current level with the One Realm Technique, they started supplementing themselves with the Ten Thousand Realms Technique, and in the process, they also cultivated their skills. This process continues until they supplement the Ten Thousand Realms Technique completely, marking the moment they break through."
So, the question arises, why don’t the two wait until they’ve broken through their One Realm Technique to the pinnacle of the Twelfth Order before addressing the lacking Ten Thousand Realms Technique, instead of doing so now?
"If it were me, I’d definitely push the One Realm Technique to the Twelfth Order first, then look back to fill the gaps, because standing higher allows one to fill the gaps more quickly.... Unless the progress is halted, without supplementation, cultivation cannot break through."
With this thought, Chen Zhixing realized the issue returned to earlier reasoning.
The greatest possibility for them doing so is that without supplementation, cultivation cannot break through.
After eliminating the option of insufficient talent, only another possibility remains.
"Is it the world rules of the Celestial Profound Realm that only permit them to advance to the Seventh, Ninth Order?"
Chen Zhixing found it incredible because he knew, whether Yimiao’s Space Tao or Li.....
"Space Tao has a Taoist Lord, and the Chaos Tao, if nothing goes wrong, should now be occupied by the Divine Court Emperor Venerable, oh, so that’s how it is."
Chen Zhixing figured it out.
The obstacle for the two was not a lack of talent or world resources, but rather, the paths corresponding to the Celestial Profound Realm had been preoccupied by predecessors, blocking Yimiao and Li Er on their road, making advancement impossible!
It wasn’t that they didn’t want to continue cultivating beyond the Twelfth Order before shifting, but rather, due to predecessors occupying the positions, the world rules leaning towards them had already reached their limits at the Seventh and Ninth Order.
"If calculated this way, with a Taoist Lord on the same path, the Ninth Order is the limit. Li Er only progressed to the current base because that position was first occupied by the prior Emperor Venerable. Comparatively, Yimiao’s Space Tao has even longer-lasting heritage, with many predecessors. Therefore, Yimiao is stuck at the Seventh Order because the positions further up are already filled."
After making sense of these, Chen Zhixing suddenly felt grateful for his initial choice.
Grateful he didn’t choose the Chaos Tao but chose the advised Star Monarch Tao instead, and thereby became the Master of One Tao, even though the process from nothing to something on this path was somewhat difficult without predecessors’ experience to draw from. At least, no one was blocking his way in front.
In other words, his limit in the Celestial Profound Realm is above the Twelfth Order, much luckier than Yimiao and Li Er!
And the Twelfth Order is the standard for a Taoist Lord. Beyond that, one breaks through the limits of the Celestial Profound World, enhancing the world’s laws.
"So, the reason why the Heavenly Dao Consciousness of the Celestial Profound Realm chose me to restrain Li Er was not because my cultivation method restrains Li Er, but because my limit is higher than Li Er’s, and I can use realm suppression to defeat him in the future?"
Coming to this realization, Chen Zhixing found it a bit speechless.
He found that indeed, as foreseen by the Heavenly Dao, if Chen Zhixing were to confront Li Er at the same level, even with the full-bodied Dharma Body of Emperor Ziwei, he wouldn’t have much confidence.
In other words, at the same level, the power of the Chaos Tao is indeed much stronger than the Star Tao.
"This... is a bit of a pitfall."
...
Born with an Innate Chaos Body, Chen Zhixing ultimately chose to embark on the Starry Tao, intending to walk to its peak and then reverse to integrate a myriad of Taos, refining his own Chaos Body.
This was his plan when he confirmed his path to Longevity.
But now, looking back, the choice to walk this path indeed lacked some consideration.
Because he found that the amount of work required for this goal was indeed immense, even with his talent, it might not be accomplished in millions of years!
Because the Great Tao is not only the Great Tao of the Celestial Profound but also encompasses the Great Tao of All Heavens and Myriads of Realms that must be comprehended.
