My Informative Cultivation Life

"Three Thousand Grand Daos, each one difficult to grasp. Hearing of the Dao is easy, but proving it is hard. To reach the end of just one path is already no small feat, not to mention the mysterious and unpredictable paths of life and death—it's difficulty compounded."

"How many people undergo reincarnation and rebuild themselves? Simply because the path of the Dao is obscure and advancement is hard to come by. This is why they sever the Dao Fruits of their past life, and choose a new path to start over."

"Sometimes, it's not because their ambitions are grandiose, but because the path they walk is so arduous that they have no choice but to change direction."

The Immortal Elder said with a sigh.

"Indeed, the Great Dao is profound. Many swiftly comprehend it at first only to find progress immeasurably difficult in the later stages."

"Why are Dao children held in such esteem? It's because those who slay the Dao Tribulation and obtain the origin of the Great Dao, naturally merge with the Dao, making understanding it much easier. Their path ahead then becomes boundless, and unless they meet an early demise, with time—whether more or less—they are generally able to reach the Quasi-Imperial Monarch level."

"However, to become an Immortal King, that depends on one's fortune! It's a hurdle, like a chasm in the sky, an insurmountable obstacle where countless geniuses have found their limit, too many to count."

"Take Qingyang Immortal King, for example, who specialized in the Dao of wood. He may seem ordinary, but it must be acknowledged that his fortune was profound, allowing him to ascend to the position of an Immortal King."

"Many Supreme Geniuses, dazzling and unique, stop at the Quasi-Imperial Monarch level, yet many less gifted talents manage to become Immortal Kings. The destiny and transformations involved in this are indeed enigmatic."

"Some geniuses are too stunning and aim for ultimate perfection, pondering over many Great Daos in the early stages, which leads to a jumble of Dao Principles and an inability to comprehend the ultimate mysteries of the Dao. Thus, they find it difficult to attain the Immortal King Fruit Position!"

"Whereas those who focus solely on one, refining their knowledge of a single Dao. In the beginning, their progress might not seem dazzling, but with pure and aligned thoughts, their path is clear. They merge with the Dao and may progress faster than the Supreme Geniuses, and are able to prove the Great Dao."

"Though these individuals may lack the combat prowess of those who have mastered multiple Great Daos and become Immortal Kings, they attain at least the status of Longevity and immortality."

"After securing that position of immortal life, they can proceed more calmly, not worrying about depleting their lifespan, and concentrate fully on their Dao, even with the potential to become Supreme Immortal Kings!"

The Rotting Wooden Box spoke.

"Worrying about depleting lifespans? Isn't it that after becoming a Daluo Golden Immortal, you enjoy eternal life?" Yang Ji asked with a hint of skepticism.

"Daluo Golden Immortals enjoy eternal life? They aren't that fortunate!" The Rotting Wooden Box sneered, "My master, Ancestral Fiend, once said that those who do not become Immortal Kings, even if they seem to live forever, are subject to calamities decreed by fate. Even Quasi-Imperial Monarchs cannot escape it!"

"The Heavenly Dao does not permit anyone below the Immortal King to live forever. Daluo Golden Immortals may seem to have eternal life, but the Heavenly Dao has its tribulations set for them, whether late or soon, they will come."

"If I am not mistaken, this Quasi-Imperial Monarch who pondered the paths of life and death has encountered his own tribulation. It is just a pity that he did not survive it and has perished!"

"A dead person, no matter how endless their lifespan, is still dead. Do you understand, young Yang?" The Rotting Wooden Box said.

"..." Yang Ji couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

"Tsk! Never mind Daluo Golden Immortals and Quasi-Imperial Monarchs, even Immortal Kings face their own tribulations. For instance, I have experienced this sealing tribulation. It may not kill me, but it's hardly a good life!"

The Rotting Wooden Box shook its head, then suddenly smiled, "At this moment, I have come to admire Qingyang Immortal King. He has understood life clearly, lived throughly, untouched by worldly karma, and deeply comprehends the way of survival. Opting to be a carefree and reclusive Immortal Elder isn't a bad choice."

"Although his strength may be lesser, at least he lives long and looks on at his leisure, perceiving the world with ease, watching the clouds billow and the dragons and tigers fight—truly, he is the transcendent hermit standing apart from this world."

The Rotting Wooden Box said pensively.

"..." A curious expression appeared on Yang Ji's face. Could it be that being sealed for so long had worn down the box's spirit?

Had it ultimately submitted to life?

"Young Yang, I can tell you're an ambitious person, and you're about to achieve Void Refining. Let me give you a piece of advice: if you wish to become the Invincible One, then the more Dao Tribulations you slay, the better."

"You are a genius, one that even I can't fully see through."

"You comprehend Immortal Techniques so quickly, and your perception is so strong. Among the many geniuses in the Immortal Realm, you are indeed among the very best."

"It's just a pity that you were born in the Lower Realm, lacking a solid foundation. Compared to the geniuses nurtured by the Immortal Realm's Immortal Kings, you have enough insight but your foundation falls far short. I estimate you can slay three or four Dao Calamities at most, which will limit the ceiling of your future achievements. It's somewhat regrettable."

Rail Wooden Box said with regret.

"Oh? Then how many Dao Calamities can the geniuses cultivated by the big shots of the Immortal Realm usually slay?" Yang Ji asked curiously.

"At least five or more, and they all involve formidable Great Daos. There are even more astonishing individuals capable of slaying more than ten." Rail Wooden Box replied. Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire

"Why do you say that slaying three Dao Calamities will limit my achievement's upper limit?" Yang Ji questioned.

"Having cultivated for so long, you should understand that a powerful individual can't lack anything in attack, speed, or mysterious methods. If the three you slay are all attack-oriented Daos like 'Great Destruction', 'Slaughter', and 'Destruction,' then your speed and defense will certainly be inadequate. This creates a weak point—do you understand what I mean?"

"That's the first point!"

"The second point is, the more Daos you comprehend, the more wondrous the fusion of the Great Daos will be. If you can forge your own path with their aid, that would be extraordinary—in a league of the invincible at the same step."

"Of course, slaying more Dao Calamities is good, but when you comprehend them is also a matter of art and science," Rail Wooden Box continued, "Generally speaking, many geniuses slay numerous Dao Calamities, but they start by only comprehending two or three Daos. Only after reaching the Immortal King Realm do they comprehend the other Daos, which is the most prudent approach."

"Of course, this varies from person to person. If we divide Dao children into six grades—"

"Then the first-grade Dao children can generally slay more than thirty types of Great Dao and comprehend them simultaneously without any obstruction, advancing directly into the Immortal King Realm."

"This level of Dao children are the most awe-inspiring geniuses between heaven and earth. They emerge from the Origin, born as the Dao, enlighten all beings, and create myriad races—they are the Ancestor of Origin for various races, the oldest antiques between heaven and earth. Such existences, even my master, Ancestral Fiend, has never seen, only heard of in legends."

"Second-grade Dao children are supreme Dominators who have lived through countless eras. Such individuals typically slay between twenty and thirty Great Daos and can comprehend them simultaneously without obstruction, advancing directly into the Immortal King Realm."

"Third-grade Dao children can usually slay between ten and twenty Great Daos. These supreme geniuses, with unparalleled insight and intelligence beyond ordinary beings, can comprehend half of the Daos they slay simultaneously and without obstruction, advancing directly into the Immortal King Realm. They can merge various Daos and walk their own path to achieve the rank of Supreme Immortal King."

"Fourth-grade Dao children can generally slay between five and ten Great Daos. These supreme geniuses, with unparalleled insight and intelligence beyond ordinary beings, find it difficult to comprehend multiple Great Daos simultaneously after slaying Dao Calamities. However, by slowly comprehending one Dao at a time, they may reach the ultimate, becoming a multi-Dao Immortal King."

"These geniuses are what I refer to as the supreme geniuses cultivated by the big shots of the Immortal Realm."

"Fifth-grade Dao children can generally slay between three and five Great Daos, limited by resources and foundation, which is the peak for geniuses of the Lower Realm."

"Sixth-grade Dao children can generally slay from one to three Great Daos, and the vast majority of Dao children belong to this category."

"Some Lower Realm geniuses have enough insight but are limited by resources and foundation. If they can slay five Dao Calamities, they also have the capacity to comprehend them simultaneously."

"But some Dao children lack insight and are too greedy, pursuing multiple Great Daos without the capability to comprehend them. Upon reaching the end, such Dao children typically fall into the fourth or fifth grades."

"Sometimes, sixth-grade Dao children, who focus on cultivating a single Dao, may have a deeper fortune and find it easier to achieve the Immortal King rank compared to the fourth and fifth-grade Dao children."

"Slaying many Dao Calamities is impressive and might be easy in the early stages, but it becomes harder later on."

"When you comprehend many Great Daos deeply, more thoughts emerge, creating clutter that can bind your own steps."

"It's not about having many Daos—comprehending one or two Great Daos first is best. Going beyond that multiplies the mental effort required, and you likely won't break through when your time limit arrives."

"If possible, first slay the Dao Calamities and comprehend one to achieve the Immortal King status, then expend mental effort to comprehend the other Great Daos—that would be best."

"After all, you're not a Supreme Genius comparable to the Ancestor of Origin or a Dominator who can comprehend multiple Great Daos simultaneously," Rail Wooden Box concluded.
