The little girl bowed her head and thought for a moment, "Which one do you want to learn?"
Chen Yan looked at the little girl, "Can’t I learn both?"
The little girl laughed and looked at Chen Yan with a hint of mockery in her eyes, "You have quite an ambition."
"It’s not about ambition, just curiosity. Can’t I learn both?"
"The possibility is almost nonexistent," the little girl shook her head, "In all of cultivation, once you enter the Entry stage, you must choose your direction.
If you go for Body Refining, you’ll be practicing Combat Techniques! It focuses on killing and attack methods—if you take this path, then you don’t need to delve too deeply into spells and techniques. Cultivating Primordial Spirit isn’t necessary either, because those who follow the path of combat nourish their spirit through combat."
The other path is to be a cultivator, manipulating Primordial Qi, nourishing the spirit, and cultivating spells—I think this is the path you are currently on."
As for wanting to practice both, it’s impossible, because human power is limited!
Moreover, if you follow the Body Refining path and practice Combat Techniques, using killing and fighting to temper the Primordial Spirit, it’s inevitable that you’ll generate Evil Qi.
On the other hand, the method of tempering the Primordial Spirit for cultivators focuses on internal Essence, Qi, and Spirit when reaching the Ascension Realm with an emphasis on refining and condensing. It involves gathering Primordial Qi, refining the Heart Tribulation, and eliminating Evil Qi.
This path conflicts in many ways with the path of killing, so it’s fundamentally impossible to practice both."
So, you either become a warrior or a mage?
The path of Demon and Martial Dual Cultivation can’t be taken.
"So, I can only choose to cultivate the Primordial Spirit?" Chen Yan looked at the little girl.
"The Cultivation Technique I plan to teach you, to put it in words you can understand, is Demon and Martial Dual Cultivation!"
Gu Qingyi sat under a tree in the forest, quietly watching Lu Sisi, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground in front of her.
Lu Sisi was wearing a milky yellow tracksuit and white running shoes, with a neat ponytail, looking up at Gu Qingyi with a face full of wonder, "Demon and Martial Dual Cultivation?"
Gu Qingyi said slowly, "Originally, from the fundamental perspective, Demon and Martial Dual Cultivation is impossible."
If you follow the path of Combat Techniques like I do, you have to nourish the spirit with killing, and what you actually nourish is Evil Qi!
And if you follow the path of a cultivator, you need to refine the mind, and temper the Primordial Spirit, which requires eliminating Evil Qi, making the Primordial Spirit pure and clear."
So in this world, all cultivators can only choose one of the two paths. Even the Venerables in the clouds can’t practice both."
Lu Sisi was a bit puzzled, "Since it’s impossible... how can you teach me Demon and Martial Dual Cultivation?"
Because the Cultivation Technique I plan to teach you is incomplete," Gu Qingyi shook her head and then said seriously, "This was created many years ago by a genius and Great Power of the past. That Great Power was a peerless genius, full of remarkable ideas, unwilling to follow the rules, always hoping to break free from the constraints of the Heavenly Dao, looking for a way to cultivate both Combat Techniques and become a cultivator.
His idea was one that many cultivators had dreamed of: an indestructible body, unmatched combat skills, and at the same time, the ability to practice spells, with a powerful Primordial Spirit and vast Divine Techniques!
So that Great Power spent half his life researching the dual cultivation path, and finally created this Cultivation Technique."
Lu Sisi asked curiously, "So... was the problem solved?"
"No!" Gu Qingyi replied solemnly, "The dual technique cannot be cultivated together, that’s the cultivation framework set by the Heavenly Dao, how could it be so easily broken?
Although that Great Power was of extraordinary talent, the Cultivation Technique he created after spending half his life is just an incomplete piece, because this cultivation technique can only be practiced up to the Ascension Realm, which means it stops at the Mortal Cultivation Tier! Beyond that... there’s nothing."
As she spoke, Gu Qingyi’s expression grew a bit strange, and she said in a low voice, "It is said that after writing up to the Ascension Realm stage, that Great Power coughed up a liter of blood, and the brush and ink shattered.
Later, he told his family next to him, that the reason he couldn’t continue writing was because...}
There was no path ahead."
When she said the final sentence, Gu Qingyi’s voice lowered, and her expression was filled with wistfulness, as she sighed faintly.
