"Um, Master, after opening your dantians, did you gain any insights?"
Even though he had accepted that his master could open three dantians at once, he still felt somewhat dejected.
This was the gap! The gap between people was greater than the gap between people and pigs!
"Of course I did. I shall explain it to you now. You must work hard from now on, understand? If I see you being this lazy again, you'll be in for it. Hmph!"
"Yes, yes, this disciple will definitely work hard!"
Nuwa then explained once more what she had previously discussed with her elder brother, Fuxi.
Liu Feng listened very seriously. But serious as he was, he still did not understand. Or rather, it was still difficult for him to grasp the mysteries within, even with the Heaven-Defying Comprehension Buff activated.
This was the limitation of the Heaven-Defying Comprehension Buff 1.0!
Back when he had first obtained this buff, he had thought he was going to become invincible. Now, reality had given him a harsh slap in the face!
"These are all of my insights. Is there anything you still don't understand?" Nuwa glanced at Liu Feng and asked calmly.
Hearing that, Liu Feng scratched his head awkwardly. "Master, although I remembered everything, there are still some parts I don't understand.
How exactly should the Middle Dantian and Upper Dantian be opened? How should they be used, and how can their effects be maximized? I still don't understand any of that. My mind is a complete mess.
Not only that, even the Lower Dantian I opened can currently only store that little point of light from before. It can't even store Mana, which seems different from yours! Master, do you know why?
And, and, Master, could you explain it in more detail? For example, the specific methods for opening the Middle Dantian and Upper Dantian, what it feels like before opening them, and also... and also..."
Liu Feng seemed to have opened the floodgates, firing off a whole string of questions at once.
But he did not notice Nuwa's expression growing uglier and darker by the moment. Her jade-like hand slowly clenched into a fist. At the next moment, she looked ready to hit someone.
Here it came!
Why did it come so early?
Nuwa was inwardly collapsing, screaming wildly. She had only just told her brother that teaching Liu Feng from now on would probably be extremely difficult.
Yet she had not expected it to come so quickly!
He had started asking questions this soon, and every single one was absurd while also striking straight at the heart of the matter.
In Nuwa's eyes, all these questions were very simple—things she had not even paid attention to before.
After all, as an Innate Lifeform, her talent and aptitude went without saying. Many times, comprehension and breakthroughs took only a single sentence. This was what people called a flash of inspiration.
After that, cultivation and breakthroughs naturally followed as smoothly as water flowing into a channel.
Thus, she had never paid much attention to many parts of the cultivation process. As long as she achieved her goal, that was enough.
But all of Liu Feng's current questions concerned steps she had previously overlooked, or simply skipped altogether. How was she supposed to answer them?
What kind of questions were these?
Even ordinary living beings would never ask such idiotic questions!
For a moment, Nuwa truly had no idea how to respond.
Originally, she had thought that once she explained her cultivation insights, Liu Feng would understand and enter a state of enlightenment.
But now, it seemed she had been too naive!
"Enough. Think over these questions yourself. I have already told you my insights. From now on, cultivate properly and strive to become immortal as soon as possible, successfully opening your Middle Dantian and Upper Dantian."
Liu Feng: ???
That was it? All those questions were for nothing? And besides, these doubts came from stacking buffs! If I don't ask you, who am I supposed to ask? You're my master!
Do you have to be this lazy? A master leads you to the door; cultivation is up to the individual!
You're like someone explaining a problem but only giving me the answer, with none of the process whatsoever.
You want me to figure out the process on my own!
But if I knew how, why would I be asking?
Liu Feng was genuinely impressed by how irresponsible his master was.
If Nuwa had been in his previous life, she would probably have been kicked out of school long ago. And she dared call herself a teacher? Wasn't she leading her students astray?
Liu Feng had misunderstood her on this point. For living beings of the Primordial World, many times they only lacked the final result.
Once they knew the result, they had a goal. As for the process, they would gradually figure it out through their own cultivation.
Otherwise, when Liu Feng had merely mentioned the Mythic Method, demonstrated a Dantian strike, and offered a slight hint, Nuwa would not have entered enlightenment twice.
That was opportunity.
Even when the future Dao Ancestor Hong Jun preached the Dao, it was the same. He was responsible for stating the results; as for comprehending the process, that depended on the individual.
It could be said that this was an era that depended on talent.
Sometimes, even if you knew the result, you might still spend your entire life unable to achieve it.
Take Becoming a Saint, for example.
Although the positions of the Sages had already been decided, Hong Jun had also said that the Heavenly Dao had forty-nine evolutions, with one escaping. Aside from the six confirmed Sages, he still left the beings of the Primordial World a sliver of hope: the strand of Hongmeng Purple Qi given to that unlucky fellow, Hongyun.
You could call it bait, or you could call it a sliver of hope.
Unfortunately, the beings of the Primordial World exhausted their entire lives pursuing that illusory sliver of hope, yet still found it difficult to attain.
They even paid for it with their lives.
It truly was tragic beyond words.
Leaving everything else aside, Liu Feng was utterly bewildered right now.
These were all problems with his cultivation!
Yet his master would not answer them and wanted him to figure them out himself.
If he could figure them out, he would not have waited until now to undergo tribulation and achieve Transformation.
What kind of master was this?
Free-range teaching?
Could a master like this really help his cultivation?
At this moment, Liu Feng sank into deep doubt.
It was like giving an elementary school graduate a university-level advanced mathematics textbook and telling him to study it. If I could understand it, would I still need to start learning from elementary school?
Yes, you started from a high point. You're amazing. But can't you consider the feelings of us ordinary people?
Liu Feng truly had no strength left to complain.
"What? Why are you looking at your master like that?"
Nuwa noticed Liu Feng's strange gaze, and it made her feel quite uncomfortable. She asked in feigned irritation.
"Nothing. I just think Master is very cu... very imposing. Yes, very imposing."
Liu Feng, who had originally wanted to say cute, hurriedly changed his words.
"Good that you know. All right, cultivate according to your master's insights. Strive to become immortal as soon as possible. You're already this lazy before even becoming immortal—what will you do in the future?"
"Isn't that why I have you, Master? I trust that Master will protect her disciple, right?"
"Hmph. If you remain this lazy, I cannot guarantee whether I will protect you or not. So cultivate diligently, and do not disappoint your master," Nuwa said threateningly.
"I understand."
Although he did not know whether Nuwa was telling the truth, Liu Feng did not dare take that gamble now. If his master really expelled him from the sect, would that not be a huge loss?
Hehe!
Seeing the exaggerated expressions on Liu Feng's face, Nuwa gave a light laugh. Little brat, as if I couldn't handle you.
