The Rune Dao: Taking Heaven and Earth and All Things as One's Teacher
As Lu Qing continued his studies, a wealth of information and insights surged into his mind once again.
And this time, the insights and feelings I gained were unprecedentedly overwhelming.
This caught Lu Qing off guard, and he quickly calmed himself down and focused on receiving the information.
[To enter the Talisman Gate, one must take Heaven and Earth as one's teacher, observe the patterns of all things in the world, outline Spirit Talisman, and communicate with all things...]
Unlike any other time.
This time, the training in Supernatural Ability began with a grand voice resounding in Lu Qing's mind, making him feel as if he were listening to the voice of the Dao, and he couldn't help but be captivated by it.
Xiao Li, who was standing to the side, saw Lu Qing standing there with his eyes closed again, glanced at him for a moment, and then ignored him.
Two-legged creatures often do this; they're used to it.
Xiao Li continued to drool over the stone platform.
It could sense that the object on the stone platform was of great benefit to it.
Unfortunately, the two-legged creatures don't allow it to move yet, so it can only watch and drool.
Lu Qing spent a very long time receiving the insights this time.
So long that Xiao Li looked up several times to see if he had fallen asleep.
Finally, Lu Qing opened his eyes, his face filled with disbelief.
"Taking Heaven and Earth and All Things as teachers, this Rune Dao is actually a cultivation method that is different from martial arts cultivation and forms its own system?"
Lu Qing was deeply shocked.
The heritage contained within these mysterious patterns is far more wondrous than he had imagined.
It was a completely different and unique cultivation system from martial arts cultivation.
Martial arts cultivation begins with tempering one's qi and blood, muscles and bones, and internal organs, pursuing the ultimate strength of the physical body. Ultimately, it tempers the Divine Soul Power, breaks through the barriers, unifies the internal and external, and brings the energy into the body, thus achieving innate Innate Realm.
However, in the beginning, the pursuit of physical strength was not strong in the Rune Dao.
It emphasizes comprehending the Heaven and Earth and All Things and all things, and from these things, understanding the principles of runes. Once the principles are understood, one naturally gains control of the power, and everything falls into place without needing to deliberately pursue it.
Therefore, the Rune Dao demands an extremely high level of comprehension.
If you lack comprehension, even if you spend your whole life trying to understand something, you might not even be able to get started, let alone Entry Level anything.
"I thought that in martial arts cultivation, it would be difficult for even one out of ten martial artists to comprehend the secret of the Qi-Blood Link and step into the Qi Blood Realm. Such a probability was already low enough."
"I never imagined that the Rune Dao would be more than a thousand times more difficult than the path of martial arts. There are only one in ten thousand people with the aptitude for cultivation. It is truly extremely difficult."
Lu Qing was amazed.
The difficulty of Entry Level the Rune Dao is incredibly high; in comparison, martial arts cultivation seems quite simple.
At the very least, even if a martial artist cannot reach the Qi Blood Realm, they can still possess good physical qualities and skilled martial arts, making them much stronger than ordinary people.
Rune Dao, if Entry Level cannot even begin to understand the principles of runes, then one is truly no different from an ordinary person.
Lu Qing even suspected that the lineage of Runic Path had now disappeared without a trace, and even a powerful expert like Li Weitian, who had reached the Innate Realm Completion, had never heard of it, leaving only this Jade Cave Chamber, perhaps because its Entry Level difficulty was too high.
Unfortunately, this point was not mentioned in the inheritance he received.
All that is known is that this inheritance was left behind by a mysterious sect called the Talisman Gate, but no further information has been left.
The Talisman Gate Sect's motto is to learn from heaven and earth, to comprehend unique runes from all things in the world, and to emphasize a natural and unrestrained approach, with the sect acting very casually.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have disappeared, leaving behind the Jade Cave Chamber as a unique opportunity for those destined to find it.
"However, in that case, we'll have to use the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid sparingly."
Among the legacies left by the Talisman Gate, there is a secret technique that allows disciples to cultivate Divine Soul Power without needing to achieve physical Acquired Realm after comprehending the principles of runes.
However, this secret technique requires the assistance of the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid to be performed.
From the Inheritance Jade Slip left by Li Weitian, Lu Qing understood the importance of the Divine Soul Power.
The Divine Soul Power can be considered the key and bridge to breaking through the Innate Realm Postnatal Realm. Without comprehending the Divine Soul Power, no matter how good your aptitude, how strong your Combat Method, or how deep your accumulation, you will not succeed.
They couldn't open that door, nor could they cross the insurmountable chasm between the Postnatal Realm and the Innate Realm.
Now that he has learned that the legacy left by the Talisman Gate contains a secret method that allows one to comprehend the Divine Soul Power ahead of time, how could Lu Qing not take it seriously?
He immediately walked to the stone platform and began to examine the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid in the depression.
"Fortunately, there are at least thirty or forty drops of Earth Vein Spirit Liquid here. According to the records of the inheritance, using the secret method, at most ten drops are enough to temper the Divine Soul Power. If ten drops are used up and it is still not successful, then taking more will be useless. This is more than enough."
Seeing the amount of Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, a thought struck me.
The Earth Vein Spirit Liquid on the stone platform was once emptied by Li Weitian. It takes twenty years for one drop of this Spiritual Fluid to condense. Doesn't that mean that Li Weitian was at least a person from seven or eight hundred years ago?
Seven or eight hundred years...
Once a hundred years have passed, the affairs of this world can be described as having undergone tremendous changes and vicissitudes.
Li Weitian is such a distant figure that it's questionable whether anyone in this world still remembers him.
Xiao Li became excited when she saw Lu Qing staring at the thing on the stone platform.
It jumped onto the stone platform and tugged at Lu Qing's clothes.
Lu Qing looked at the Black Little Beast and saw it pointing to the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid in the stone platform with a longing look on its face.
"You want to eat this?" Lu Qing asked.
Seeing Xiao Li nod, Lu Qing pondered for a moment.
Xiao Li deserves great credit for finding this treasure trove.
Without its guidance, he would never have discovered that such a magical cave existed behind the waterfall.
Since it wants the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, it should definitely be given to it.
The information detected by the Supernatural Ability also indicates that both humans and animals can obtain great benefits from consuming this Spiritual Fluid.
Lu Qing was generous to Xiao Li.
He nodded. "Okay, but try taking a few drops first. If it's not enough, then take more."
Although the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid is miraculous, it's not a case of the more you consume, the better.
According to the records passed down in the Talisman Gate, the efficacy of the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid in improving aptitude has its limits.
It is most effective on beings below the Innate Realm, but its effect is much weaker on beings above the Innate Realm.
For ordinary beings born Postnatal Realm, a single drop can improve their inherent qualities to the limit.
Even special creatures can only take a maximum of five drops; any more than that will be ineffective.
Xiao Li is Spirit Beast, a special kind of creature, and Lu Qing plans to give it five drops directly.
Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, Xiao Li's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded repeatedly.
"Wait here for a moment."
The Earth Vein Spirit Liquid must be contained in jade containers to avoid contaminating its spirituality.
Fortunately, there was a jade bottle in the Alchemy Room of the Stone Chamber behind the Hidden Door Lu Qing went in, took one, cleaned it, and put all the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid into it.
Then he said, "Open your mouth."
Xiao Li was looking at Lu Qing with eager eyes. Upon hearing this, she was overjoyed, obediently tilted her head back, and opened her mouth.
Lu Qing poured five drops of Earth Vein Spirit Liquid from the jade bottle into Xiao Li's mouth.
The Black Little Beast smacked its lips, seemingly finding the taste pleasant, and immediately squinted its eyes happily, rolling around on the stone platform.
However, before it could be happy for long, it began to feel its eyelids getting heavy and soon fell asleep on the stone platform.
Lu Qing was not surprised. The Talisman Gate's inheritance records that Spirit Beast beasts would generally fall into a deep sleep after consuming the Earth Vein Spirit Liquid, gradually improving their aptitude and purifying their bloodline.
He picked up Xiao Li and placed her on the small nest made of folded outer clothes, then sat cross-legged beside her, quietly waiting for her to wake up.
