Seeing Liu Feng sitting obediently before her like a well-behaved child, Nuwa's expression softened somewhat.
Her tone was no longer as cold as before.
"Before I begin teaching, I have another question. You should also be a being born at the dawn of creation, so why did you take so long to take human form? Do you not have the Heavenly Dao Inheritance Memories? Or were you simply too lazy to cultivate properly? Or perhaps your aptitude is too poor, which is why you only underwent tribulation and took form so late?
Also, what is going on with all those heavenly treasures in your room? Even the Sixth-Grade White Lotus from my lotus pond appeared early and landed beside you? Are you hiding some secret?"
Liu Feng: ...
He had originally thought Nuwa would ask him about cultivation.
He had not expected her to ask so many questions at once, and to directly say his aptitude was poor. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're my master. And what heavenly treasures? Why hadn't I seen any?
Right, Master said they were in my room. Could it be that treasures had fallen beside me again while I was asleep? How was that possible? This was Master's Dao field. There should be barriers guarding...
Liu Feng suddenly fell silent. He suddenly remembered that even if this was his master's Dao field, so what? Could his master possibly know everything within such a vast Dao field?
There might be heavenly treasures that even his master had not noticed. Hadn't she said so herself? Even the Sixth-Grade White Lotus from her lotus pond had ended up beside him.
This was rather frustrating.
Yes, Liu Feng was very frustrated.
How was he supposed to answer?
He truly did not want to answer his master's questions.
But seeing his master staring intently at him, he knew he could not avoid answering.
Then, he suddenly thought of using the Mythic Method to fool her.
"Master, I do have the Heavenly Dao Inheritance Memories, but I do not know whether my aptitude is good or bad. The reason my cultivation has been so slow is that every time I cultivate according to the Heavenly Dao Inheritance Memories, problems arise.
All sorts of random thoughts constantly appear in my divine sense, preventing me from cultivating peacefully. That is why I only underwent tribulation and took form now."
Liu Feng directly made the Heaven-Defying Comprehension Buff take the blame, saying only that he could not settle down to cultivate because he was constantly disturbed by all kinds of random thoughts arising in his heart. Those sudden thoughts interfered with the Heavenly Dao Inheritance Memories and hindered his cultivation progress, which was why he had only undergone tribulation and taken form now.
Liu Feng had not expected that his current nonsense would make it much easier for him to explain the various cultivation methods he brought out in the future.
"What random thoughts? Could it be that you simply cannot calm your heart?"
Nuwa found that Liu Feng did not seem to be lying, but she remained skeptical. After all, the Heavenly Dao Inheritance Memories were currently the best cultivation method for beings of the Primordial World. How could random thoughts possibly appear out of nowhere?
It had to be an excuse.
An excuse for Liu Feng not cultivating properly.
"Master, I'm telling the truth," Liu Feng said seriously.
"Oh? Since you say it is true, then tell me about those thoughts from the Heavenly Dao Inheritance Memories that have been running wild in your mind. Let your master hear them." Nuwa asked with a half-smile.
"All right!
There is a passage in my inheritance memories: On Distant Peak of Gushe dwell spiritual beings. Their skin is like congealed cream, and they are graceful as immortal maidens;
They do not consume worldly food, drinking only the dew of dawn and savoring nature's essence;
They ride dragons upon the qi and roam beyond the clouds of the nine heavens;
Their divine charm is pure and ethereal, allowing all things in the world to bask in the spring breeze, bringing abundant harvests, peaceful seasons, freedom from illness, and well-being.
A new cultivation method suddenly appeared in my mind. This method is divided into four stages: Essence Refinement into Qi, Qi Refinement into Spirit, Spirit Refinement into Emptiness, and Emptiness Refinement into Dao. Originally, I intended to cultivate according to this method and enter the Essence Refinement into Qi stage, but something went wrong at the qi stage.
According to the method of cultivating the Essence Spirit, one purifies the body and mind, combines the Dao qi in a state of tranquil emptiness with the essence qi of the five viscera and six bowels, as well as the innate and acquired qi within the kidney essence, and condenses it into a golden core within the lower dantian. This process is called Essence Refinement into Qi.
But the qi I cultivated felt completely different, and I could not control it at all.
So I could only start cultivating again. In the end, after much exploration, I still could not find the threshold to Essence Refinement into Qi. That was also why my strength had progressed so greatly.
However, after cultivating for a while, different thoughts would emerge again. That was why my cultivation progress was so slow, and why it took me so long to undergo tribulation and take form."
After saying that, Liu Feng looked at his master, hoping she could clear up his confusion.
Of course, Liu Feng hoped even more that the Mythic Method would be useful to Nuwa. Then she could guide him, and he would not have to cultivate so painfully.
Most importantly, Liu Feng discovered that Heaven-Defying Comprehension Buff 1.0 seemed insufficient when it came to the Mythic Method! That was what truly gave him a headache.
Sure enough, Liu Feng discovered that his master had actually gone blank, her thoughts wandering as if she had not heard anything he said at all. Could it be that she had entered enlightenment because of what he said?
"Master? Master?"
Liu Feng called softly, hoping to wake her.
However, his master did not respond in the slightest.
Not only that, Liu Feng was shocked to discover that specks of light had begun to appear around Nuwa.
At first, there were only a few of these light specks, faint and intermittent, as though they might disappear at any moment.
However, in only a short while, the light specks rapidly increased in number, becoming brighter and more dazzling.
These brilliant specks of light were like a group of lively, dancing spirits, tightly circling around Nuwa and illuminating her entire body with radiant splendor.
Under the glow of this light, his master appeared even more sacred and majestic, beyond all offense.
The moment he saw this, Liu Feng realized that his master had truly entered a state of enlightenment!
This filled Liu Feng with delight, but also envy and jealousy.
He was delighted because witnessing his master enter a state of enlightenment was a rare opportunity. When some of the light specks approached him, he too sensed a mysterious aura of the Dao;
At the same time, he felt a powerful sense of unfairness and fell into deep self-doubt.
Could my aptitude really be this poor? I have the Heaven-Defying Comprehension Buff! Yet I still can't compare to Master.
Heavenly Dao: Do you think Primordial Gods are a joke?
Although Liu Feng had read countless cultivation novels in his previous life and was extremely familiar with cultivation realms such as "Essence Refinement into Qi" and "Qi Refinement into Spirit," things were different now. This was the Essence Refinement into Qi of the Mythic Method. The qi within it was probably not ordinary qi, but Primordial Qi! That made it incredibly difficult.
Perhaps that was why even Heaven-Defying Comprehension Buff 1.0 was not enough.
Moreover, Liu Feng understood that the novels he had read in his previous life were merely novels. When truly cultivating, it was impossible to cultivate simply based on a few words.
Liu Feng had personally verified that.
However, the Mythic Method was indeed difficult, yet now he had been thoroughly embarrassed. His master had entered a state of enlightenment after merely hearing him explain the Mythic Method once. What did that mean?
It meant his aptitude was still far too poor!
Looks like I need to keep drawing cards. I must upgrade the Heaven-Defying Comprehension Buff to the highest level. I also need to reach a realm where I can enter enlightenment in a single second.
He had not expected that even with the Heaven-Defying Comprehension Buff, he still could not compare to the aptitude of a Primordial God. Were they truly so favored by heaven? Were they really that terrifying?
Was he really that inferior?
But forget it. She was his master, after all.
The stronger she was, the safer he would be. That was enough.
Unable to understand it, Liu Feng simply adopted an Ah Q mindset. Sensing the aura of the Dao brought by the light specks, he too entered a state of cultivation.
