Li Chengfeng had no idea that his beloved Uncle Kun was currently suffering the cruelest torture in the world in a prison hidden deep beneath the mountain. But even if he knew, there was nothing he could do.
To Li Chengfeng, the most important thing right now was to become stronger, as fast as he could!
However, the path of cultivation was long and arduous. How could he make rapid progress in a short period of time?
Most importantly, ever since he came to the Spiritual Mountain Sect, Li Chengfeng did not even know how to cultivate, let alone how to use magical weapons or how to control the ever-changing arrays.
After bidding farewell to Su You and the rest, Li Chengfeng returned to his residence. After dinner, he started reading 'Notes for Cultivation' by the bonfire. To him, the most important thing was not the method of cultivation, because his body contained a unique set of cultivation techniques. Hence, 'Methods of Training Qi' and 'Foundation Building Insights' were not that important to him right now.
However, Li Chengfeng knew that although there were many differences in the world, the principles were mostly the same. 'Notes for Cultivation' did not seem to talk about how to train Qi or how to deal with inner demons during foundation building. It was all about the principles and basics of cultivation, and these were what Li Chengfeng lacked the most.
For example, from Li Chengfeng's point of view, how did magic appear?
How did it evolve? How was it used?
The book gave detailed explanations and principles that Li Chengfeng, an outsider, believed in.
'Notes for Cultivation' recorded the creation and evolution of magic: All magic in the world originates from five types of energy, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth of the five elements.
Usually, cultivators could only choose one direction to cultivate. For example, those who were born with the metal element would naturally be better at metal spells.
As for those who were born with the wood attribute, they were more adept at using wood magic.
These specialties were usually unique. Almost no one could have two specialties at the same time.
Hence, in the first era when magic first appeared, all cultivators in the world were only good at one type of magic. This resulted in severe restraints between cultivators.
A could beat B until he pissed his pants in terror, but B could beat C until he ran all over the world, and C could beat A until he knelt and begged for mercy.
This strange phenomenon soon made all the cultivators in the world feel dissatisfied. Not only did every cultivator desire to jump out of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, but they also desired to dominate the world!
At this time, some cultivators discovered that there were very few people in the world who had dual specialties in the five elements. Therefore, they began to desperately dig up these extremely rare dual specialties and study why they had dual specialties.
After a long period of research, they found out that this special ability came from the bloodline.
And this bloodline can be inherited and passed on through intermarriage.
Therefore, this kind of innate bloodline became something that everyone dreamed of. It was also slowly inherited and passed down as generations of cultivators intermarried.
Over the long years, cultivators gradually popularized the characteristics of dual attributes. They then discovered that there would never be two completely opposite attributes in a dual attribute specialty, just like a person would never have the two specialties of fire and water at the same time.
At this time, the cultivation of magic entered the long second era.
In the Second Epoch, a genius discovered that cultivators could actually use more than just two types of Dharma. If they followed the law of mutual promotion and restraint of the five elements, they could create more Dharma and power systems.
This was the greatest discovery in the world of magic. They discovered that there were two more important and powerful forces in the world: Yin and Yang!
When Li Chengfeng read this part, his eyes lit up. This was because even a transmigrator like him could understand the theory in an instant.
The explanation was simple: the five elements are born from each other. When they operate in a positive direction, it is Yang. When the five elements oppose each other and operate in a negative direction, it is Yin!
Li Chengfeng slapped the table and cheered at this sentence.
This was a true saying, 'Ten thousand false books pass on'!
If this book seriously explained to Li Chengfeng what Yin and Yang were, and where they came from, Li Chengfeng would probably be confused and would not know what they were talking about.
However, with this simple explanation, not only did Li Chengfeng see the light, he could also deduce many things from one example!
If the five elements are converted from positive to Yang and reversed to Yin, does that mean that when two of the five elements are separated and combined, they can also create other types of spells?
"Young Master, how did you think of this?"
Xiaobao was reading 'The Art of Cultivation of Qi' with great interest. However, the excited Li Chengfeng dragged him to discuss the insights he gained from reading 'Cultivation Notes'. Yuehan was reading 'Array Lecture'.
At this moment, Yuehan was reading the 'Array Lecture'. She looked very serious, but in reality, she was already familiar with all the arrays recorded in the book. When she heard Xiaobao and Li Chengfeng's conversation, her ears perked up. She was ready to say something random to 'guide' them.
Li Chengfeng pulled Xiaobao and said, "Think about it, there are the seven elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Yin and Yang. But how did wind come about?
How did someone know how to use wind magic come about? "
Xiaobao thought about it seriously, then shook his head. "I can't think of anything."
Li Chengfeng smiled. "Simply put, the difference in temperature between hot and cold air creates wind!
The warm air flows upwards, and the colder air flows downwards. This creates wind! "
Xiaobao was confused. "So?"
"So, as long as we know fire spells, we can use fire spells to heat up the air, then use water spells to cool it down. This creates a difference in temperature between hot and cold air, then we can create wind spells!"
Xiaobao was stunned. "Young Master, did you come up with this just now?" he asked after a moment of silence.
Li Chengfeng said proudly, "Doesn't it make sense?"
Xiaobao nodded. "You're so smart, Young Master. But there's something I don't understand."
"What is it?"
Xiaobao asked, "If that's the case, how did the Ice Magic come about?"
Li Chengfeng laughed heartily. "That's simple. Reverse the flow of fire spells and you can create ice spells!"
Xiaobao's eyes widened. "What kind of logic is that?"
Li Chengfeng glared at Xiaobao. "There's only one situation where your brain works better than mine!"
Xiaobao looked at Li Chengfeng cautiously, sensing that he was about to attack again. "When?"
As expected, Li Chengfeng said, "When it's used as an ingredient!
Because pig's brain tastes good! "
Yuehan, who was watching from the side, burst into laughter. Xiaobao was not convinced. "But I don't understand."
Li Chengfeng sighed. "You idiot. The essence of fire spells is to increase the heat in the air. When it reaches a certain level, flames will appear.
If you reverse the flow, the heat in the air will decrease and when it reaches a certain level, it will freeze!
Understand? "
Xiaobao was enlightened. "I see."
Li Chengfeng was stunned. He thought of Grand Senior Sister. She could use both fire and ice spells at the same time. This meant she could gather heat and extract it at the same time. This also meant she could control two opposing forces at the same time.
This meant she had broken a law of cultivation: no one can control two opposing forces at the same time!
But Grand Senior Sister did it. Just thinking about the difficulty of this made Li Chengfeng's hair stand on end!
As the saying went, the ignorant are fearless. If one did not understand the intricacies of Grand Senior Sister's spells, one would not know how powerful she was!
However, Yuehan looked at Li Chengfeng in shock. She thought he was the reincarnated traitorous immortal and had Immortal Qi in his body. Naturally, his cultivation would yield twice the results with half the effort. She did not expect Li Chengfeng to be so intelligent. Even if he did not have Immortal Qi in his body, this Great General of the Li family would still be an incredible cultivation genius!
There were three thousand spells and each had their own cultivation methods. However, there was only one Great Dao!
The greatest sound was silent, the Great Dao was formless. There were three thousand spells and the Great Dao was one. Everyone was diligently pursuing spells and techniques, ignoring the Dao beneath their feet!
The simplest thing in the world to understand was the Dao, but the hardest to understand was also the Dao!
Li Chengfeng, a newbie who had just begun to understand the Dao, had already understood a part of it!
Although this was a summary of Dao, Li Chengfeng was able to deduce many things from one example. In a very short period of time, he deduced the Dao that the ancients had spent thousands of years to deduce!
What kind of terrifying cultivation talent was this!
