"Now that you have learned the outline of the origin light stage, it’s best for you to meditate and find your own path.
But besides these, we still have to strengthen ourselves in various ways, and these ways can even aid your next stages.
Although you shouldn’t put your focus entirely on the next stages, if these things can help you now, then it’s like hitting two birds with one stone, which is acceptable.
This method is to learn more spiritual inspirations. The deeper reasons and ways don’t need to be explained, simply gaining a strong one is worthwhile.
Usually, every origin light cultivator gains one or two more inspirations before they stop and put their effort into enhancing them.
In the main courtyard of every neighbourhood, there is a special hall called "Spiritual Inspiration Hall". It gathers the tertiary dao aura of all cultivators in the neighbourhood. They fuse and form in the hall, representing various possible inspirations.
There is one neighbourhood gathering every year, during which you may enter the hall for an hour of time. As welcome gift, every newcomer gains an additional hour.
What the cultivators get from the hall varies a lot, but generally, it can be split into five ranks: the more hours you need, the better the spiritual inspiration you learn is.
This doesn’t mean it’s best to wait five years (or four with the additional hour at the first gathering). Cultivating a spiritual inspiration for four years will be equally rewarding. While other inspirations might start lower, they have deep foundation and can be naturally evolved without deep comprehension.
Alright, enough talking, I’ve explained so much that you might be bored!
Come, let me take you to the hall!"
As he said so, Yelong, who had been meticulous in his explanation, finally stood up and walked down the path.
Prior they had been in the reception room. Now, walking down the main path, they soon arrived in front of a small inconspicuous hall.
Even though its aura was little, it gave off the atmosphere of a house of seclusion, of a merit standing and meditating in the mountains for centuries.
Fu Xian was grateful for this opportunity and only bowed to Yelong slightly before entering.
No word of thanks could express his appreciation.
He had read about the other neighbourhoods and knew that many had various rules restricting newcomers. Such as only entering after contributing dao aura for ten years, or simply not even getting the chance to enter, simply taking the aura and graciously allowing the people to live in their neighbourhood.
Walking into the sought-after hall, he looked around at first.
At a single glance, he saw that the interior was larger than outside, but only a few dozen times larger, not worthy of mention.
Inside, there were many tables with small tools laying on the tables or flying around, seemingly free spirited and unwilling to be looked at, hiding from the observer.
Fu Xian looked around and knew these were the manifested form of spiritual inspirations!
’No wonder others hide this or simple kill everyone who seeks a share... this place is so magical, actually having the power to manifest the inspirations fully!’
He didn’t hesitate any further and started going around the hall, looking for a suitable treasure.
Although these were merely manifestations, their form revealed the general direction of the inspiration.
There were swords and bows, books and animal statues, all around, a small treasure house.
He knew he didn’t have much time so he decisively rejected everything that didn’t match his aura, and everything that couldn’t be used at his current stage.
Swords and bows, two representative of the weapon path, were supremely strong but unfortunately useless to him. He didn’t fight nor wished to do so, so it was useless.
Maybe he could use it to form a sword or archer immortal, but then he thought it was useless.
A single inspiration would cost him more. It was fine to contribute other things, but using origin to pass on an inspiration was really useless.
With this thought, he selected two treasures: an eye and a book!
The eye was deep purple with white edges and white eyelashes, its aura extremely pure and deep, ass if piercing the nine heavens and seeing the real face.
On the other hand was a book. It was made of jade and looked extremely solid.
When he saw this, he understood why no one had attempted to learn this spiritual inspiration.
This thing was actually a book of teaching!
Simply said, it contained the dao aura to bear and spread all dao arts, like a supreme treasure for old ancestors, wishing for their children to succeed.
This book was very unspecific and its general use was to improve the comprehension of others when they listen to you. Once one achieves the dao, there are plenty ways to pay back, so Fu Xian didn’t want to give up this chance just to not incur any karmic debt!
He looked at these and contemplated for a long time.
Finally, he deduced and guessed a bit, gaining some understanding of them.
"It seems that this eye is of lower quality. Although being so, it has formidable foundation and future talent!"
The reason it’s here even though it clearly has high talent lies in the fact that ordinary people don’t have the resources required to support such an unrelated path.
As for the book, he was also very fortunate, but also unfortunate.
It was also usable right away, but the resulting spiritual inspiration is very low and further advancement would be a difficult path.
"Now that I think about it, after hundreds of years, this spiritual inspiration hall has likely gathered dozens or even hundreds of spiritual inspirations.
It’s just that over time, those with a higher vision took the highest casket and headed back, not wanting to waste their time on another spiritual inspiration. As for the lower beings... there were many lower spiritual inspirations, roughly thousands. Skimming through them, they would eventually find the one fitting for them, ignoring the rest and paying no heed."
