Chapter 753 - 475: Status Panel and Failed Cultivation (Part 2)
If he procures some related cultivation medicine, the stacking buffs would be astonishing.
Apart from the cultivation bonuses, he himself is quite suitable to cultivate the "All Space-Time Eternal Freedom Profound Chapter", for this legendary cultivation technique focuses on the laws of space-time, which he has ample conditions to access without needing to find another way.
The greatest aid among them is the legendary item he possesses: the Master of the Universe Badge.
This item has no effect within the dungeon, but in the Otherworld it can be frequently used, allowing for control over the laws of time and space, which is extremely suitable for him to comprehend the great path of space-time.
Then there are his Epic Layer weapons, the Blade of Time and the Belt of Blank Entwining, which respectively have skills related to time and space and provide considerable help.
Of course, his newly acquired legendary weapon, the Cyan Emperor Saber, is also related to the great path of space-time, but he is temporarily unable to fully wield the power of this spirit saber and plans to wait until he is more in harmony with it.
Thus, in the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion, Wang Zhifan began his attempts following the guidance of the cultivation technique.
He first entered a state of understanding using a specific Observation Skill, then repeatedly tried to rely on himself to make contact with the laws of space-time.
What is called contact, simply put, means being able to "touch" the laws themselves and exert some influence, without needing to reach a level of control, as long as it can elicit a slight reaction from the laws of space-time.
For example, if a cultivator can slightly twist the square inch of space within their palm, it counts as contacting the laws of space.
If one can momentarily speed up or slow down their personal time flow even a little, it meets the requirement of contacting the laws of time.
If both these requirements are met simultaneously, the All Space-Time Eternal Freedom Profound Chapter can be considered entry-level.
Following the content guide in the inheritance, Wang Zhifan practiced from morning to afternoon in the Profound Mysterious Secret Mansion.
At about six in the afternoon, feeling like he had been banging his head against an iron wall all day, he decisively chose to withdraw, as he judged that his method of cultivation was incorrect, tantamount to wasting time.
"From morning until nearly evening, I exhausted all the skills of the Blade of Time and the Belt of Blank Entwining, and I still haven’t gained any insight, let alone made any progress...
The entry requirements for contacting these laws are truly absurd, even a true peerless genius would find it hard, let alone someone with mediocre aptitude like me...
If you waste time stubbornly practicing this technique, it surely won’t yield good results.
The inheritance also said that entering this cultivation method tests more for opportunities and comprehension, only when the opportunity arises and inspiration comes, can one naturally progress and truly grasp it.
Blindly forcing oneself to practice could not only lead to failure to enter but might even cause oneself problems..."
At this moment, after the initial attempt, Wang Zhifan understood for the first time just how difficult this legendary cultivation method truly is.
It is so difficult that unless one is a peerless genius, it is not recommended to focus on cultivating it, but rather cultivators are advised to rely on luck, pursuing so-called opportunities and epiphanies, which seems utterly irrational.
But this seemingly absurd suggestion in the inheritance indeed makes sense.
For those who are not top-tier geniuses, there is truly no need to waste energy on grueling cultivation; such a path is unworkable and might easily cause side effects.
The probability of directly relying on luck for success would be higher and more relaxed.
"So after nearly a day of dedicated attempts, I can confirm I am not a peerless genius.
Even though I have many additional bonuses and advantages, there still isn’t hope of entering through sheer effort...
But so what? It’s just about relying on opportunities and luck, right? I have plenty of time! I never lack opportunities! One day, I will successfully enter!"
After almost a day wasted, Wang Zhifan did not feel even a bit of frustration, instead, he felt immensely passionate in the face of this unprecedented difficulty!
Because he is different from others, he does not lack time or bizarre experiences, as long as his heart remains sincere, the great path of space-time will one day open its doors to him!
"Next up, I will handle pending matters and then prepare for tomorrow’s instance."
Having understood everything, Wang Zhifan did not hesitate to set aside the notion of cultivating the legendary technique and began to focus on other matters.
This was not giving up; rather, he truly understood the essence of the All Space-Time Eternal Freedom Profound Chapter’s inheritance.
Constantly worrying about cultivating this technique is useless; only by being carefree, transcending beyond, finding the intentional in the unintentional, and encountering mysteries in freedom, is there hope to truly succeed in cultivation.
Soon, Wang Zhifan found his phone, checked the records on it, confirmed that no one sought him today, and then took the Cyan Emperor Saber, grabbed the Guest Minister Token, and headed to the Wuji Sect World.
He directly appeared in Tiger Head Town of this world and found that it was already nighttime.
The townspeople began their nightlife under the glow of lantern light, and every so often, personnel from the Wind Snow Tower could be seen patrolling the streets to maintain order, everything appeared as stable as the last time he came.
"I feel like I have gained a few more true followers in this world, over a thousand shallow followers, probably due to the influence of organizing the Holy Tower’s arrival last time...
But it doesn’t hold much significance, the number is still far from enough... however, it seems I don’t need to force it."
Originally, Wang Zhifan’s plan in this Otherworld resembling ancient Xia Country was to promote faith and try out the path of faith.
But as his personal experience grew, he felt somewhat dismissive of this path.
Because he is more inclined towards a free and unrestrained strength, rather than being bound by so-called power of faith.
The primary reason for this change was witnessing his Guardian Spirit, the Vermilion Bird, seeing this true deity.
A mere small projection of the Vermilion Bird was enough to make him feel great and utterly awed.
Moreover, the Vermilion Bird is an innate deity, not requiring any so-called faith.
This made him realize the power of faith is not high-end and not necessarily worth pursuing.
Then, the legendary cultivation technique he acquired, with its vision of eternal freedom of space-time, extremely attracted him.
Yet if he took the path of faith, it would conflict with it and prevent him from truly achieving eternal freedom, causing him some resistance to the path of faith.
"So unless in a forced situation, I don’t need to genuinely embark on the path of faith; playing around with it casually is fine, there are some benefits to experiencing different power systems."
Having established this broad principle, Wang Zhifan immediately felt much more relieved.
Previously, he often felt at a loss when planning the path of faith, but by changing his mindset, merely trying it for fun, all the pressure vanished, even transforming into motivation, a motivation named seeking fun.
With steps moving forward, Wang Zhifan transformed his outermost Invisible Deceitful Clothing into the appearance of the Sect Leader’s blue gown, then with the Cyan Emperor Saber in hand, using Lightweight Skill, he arrived at the Wind Snow Tower on the low mountain on the eastern side of Tiger Head Town.
At this time, usually, there wouldn’t be many people in the Wind Snow Tower except for the night watch disciples.
But this time coming over, he found that several of his key subordinates were there: chief steward Mr. He, Guardian Wu Xun, and Guardian Yang Qingqing, gathered in the second-floor living room of the Wind Snow Tower for a discussion.
"Mr. He, the Sect Leader mentioned that, currently, everything in town should prioritize stability! Arbitrary conflict is not permissible!"
"But Mr. Wu, the followers of that so-called Heavenly Venerable are increasing day by day, if we let them continue to develop, will this Tiger Head Town still be the territory of our Wind Snow Tower?! Furthermore, I suspect this group is connected to the Demon Sect! We must take preemptive action!"
"Mr. He, Senior Brother Wu, please stop arguing! In my view, it’s best to put this matter on hold and wait for the Sect Leader to return for a final decision! Oh... the Sect Leader has returned!"
When Wang Zhifan’s figure appeared at the doorway on the second floor of the Wind Snow Tower, the three arguing Wind Snow Tower leaders all turned their attention towards him.
From their earlier discussion, it was apparent that Mr. He and his side wished to take action against the Heaven Venerable’s followers in Tiger Head Town, fearing these people might grow powerful and affect the Wind Snow Tower’s authority.
On the other side, Wu Xun seemed inclined towards leniency. The newly-arrived Wang Zhifan knew the reason best: Wu Xun and his junior sister Yang Qingqing had already become shallow followers of the Heaven Venerable.
