A Lesson of Great Significance

"Oh my god, this High Priest's skin is so thick, and his ability to bend with the wind is so strong it makes my scalp tingle!"

"Nonsense. When the High Priests of the major tribes choose successors, the most important thing is that they have sharp minds."

"Otherwise, how could the High Priests of all those tribes use a god conjured out of thin air to fool their people into believing so firmly?"

"Some tribes even use children and women to sacrifice to the gods, yet nobody dares object."

"The High Priest may not necessarily be the smartest person in every tribe, but his mind and reactions are absolutely among the top three in any tribe."

"The smarter someone is, the more afraid they are of death. The moment this High Priest saw things going wrong, of course he shamelessly surrendered to save his own life. Besides, Yi Chen had also given him a way to preserve his power as High Priest."

The audience in the Live Stream Room clicked their tongues in amazement.

"The most badass one is still Yi Chen."

"That decisiveness, that ruthlessness, that dominance—he was truly born at the wrong time! A mere Exile Planet is completely burying his tyrant's aura."

"What I admire most is actually his courage and commanding presence."

"If it were us, we definitely wouldn't believe gods existed. But don't forget, Yi Chen was born in a tribe and raised in a tribe."

"In such uncivilized tribes, the people believe in the existence of gods without the slightest doubt. Very few ever question it."

"Yet Yi Chen not only questioned whether gods existed, he even wanted to replace them. He subtly reminded the High Priest that he could only deify him as a god!"

"It's a pity this is the Barbaric Era. Even if it were ancient times, Yi Chen might have been able to build an empire that united Divine Right and political power with his talent, intelligence, and personality."

Everyone felt regret for Yi Chen.

For someone who possessed every trait of a tyrant and such heaven-shaking talent to appear in the Barbaric Era was purely Yi Chen's tragedy.

Because even if Yi Chen lived to the limit of his lifespan, two hundred and forty years, at most he could only develop the Flame Mountain Tribe into a large tribe with tens of thousands of people.

Exile Planet.

He and the High Priest returned to the center of The Valley.

There were no more ripples.

As the High Priest announced that Yi Chen had revealed his divinity to him and that it had been confirmed Yi Chen was a god descended into the world,

all the cultivation methods had been gifts voluntarily bestowed upon the tribespeople by the gods.

The entire Flame Mountain Tribe erupted in cheers that shook The Valley.

Only a little over ten minutes later,

the High Priest began teaching on the spot, instructing the tribespeople to study and memorize the words on the wall.

These incantations contained Yi Chen's understanding and insights into the laws of nature, the characteristics of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, and its circulation.

Not to mention the Flame Mountain Tribe's people—even the High Priest only half understood them.

Yi Chen could only wait until the tribespeople had memorized the incantations and Meridian Cultivation Chart before explaining them all at once.

He did not waste time staying in the center of The Valley to watch the High Priest teach.

Nor did he return to the Wooden House to cultivate.

Instead, he left The Valley directly and entered the forest to the south.

With several leaps, he sprang onto a towering ancient tree that pierced the clouds.

Then he kept climbing upward.

Until he reached the crown of the tree, where he sat cross-legged on a branch as thick as a bucket, his back against the trunk.

Above him were blue skies and white clouds.

Looking out in every direction, the scenery was as beautiful as a painting, and the forest stretching for hundreds of kilometers lay entirely within view.

He gently closed his eyes and quietly felt the biting autumn wind, trying to comprehend its movement and nature.

After breaking through to the Spirit Release Realm First Level, his perception ability had clearly improved enormously.

His comprehension of the wind had also become clearer and deeper.

"What's going on? Why did he run into the forest to cultivate?"

"Yeah! Shouldn't cultivation require calming the mind and focusing the spirit? Sitting that high up, with the wind howling beside his ears and having to stay distracted to avoid falling, how could he cultivate in peace?"

Yi Chen's unusual actions left the audience in the Live Stream Room utterly baffled.

But soon, some sharp-eyed viewers discovered the reason.

"He isn't cultivating. The Scanner shows that the Spiritual Power in his Qi Sea isn't circulating through his meridians at all."

"If he isn't cultivating, then he must be comprehending something?"

"He's probably planning to create some New Cultivation Method."

"I'm really looking forward to it. What new cultivation method does he want to create this time?"

"Maybe he got some inspiration!"

"Speaking of which, the Billion Medicines Cultivation Method Research Institute announced that its preparations were complete and that it had begun creating and researching cultivation methods several hours ago. Why hasn't it released any New Cultivation Method yet?"

"I was wondering the same thing! I've been checking the Billion Medicines Group's official website every five minutes."

"Maybe they've already researched and created a cultivation method, but still need time to test it."

"You have to understand, Billion Medicines Group is a pharmaceutical corporation. Pharmaceutical corporations place the greatest importance on rigor."

"Any new medicine takes years, even decades, from research and development to clinical trials and formal release."

"Although a New Cultivation Method will not take nearly that long, after creating one, they will definitely need to find a group of people to test it on. Only after gathering detailed data will they release it."

"So we still have to wait quite a while?"

"A few hours if they're fast, perhaps a day or two if they're slow. After all, there are countless Cultivation Method Research Institutes. The Billion Medicines Cultivation Method Research Institute was the first to announce its establishment and the first to announce that preparations were complete."

"They definitely want to become the first Research Institute to release a New Cultivation Method too, so they certainly won't spend too much time on test data."

"That's good, then!"

Having guessed that Yi Chen might be researching some New Cultivation Method, the audience in the Live Stream Room idly chatted about all sorts of things.

Time flew by.

Several hours later, Yi Chen finished comprehending the wind.

He began observing the birds and beasts in the forest.

He watched them fly and watched them run.

He even used Thorn Fruit to stimulate them into flying and fleeing.

After night fell and his vision became unclear, he switched back to comprehending the wind's characteristics.

The cycle repeated over and over.

On the afternoon of the second day, Yi Chen paused his comprehension and first returned to the Flame Mountain Tribe.

The progress was not bad.

Over the course of a day and a half, more than half the tribespeople had forcibly memorized the cultivation incantations and circulation route of the Chaos Art through sheer rote memorization.

Only some elderly people and children had memorized a small portion.

Yi Chen did not wait any longer.

He gathered all the tribespeople who had memorized the Chaos Art and began explaining the insights behind its incantations, its precautions, how to cultivate it, and what problems might arise during cultivation.

It concerned his most important interests.

This time, Yi Chen poured enormous effort and patience into it, explaining every detail without omission and answering every question.

He taught from afternoon until deep into the night.

Only after some of the more perceptive people had thoroughly grasped and understood the Chaos Art, allowing them to switch roles and teach those tribespeople who still did not understand,

did Yi Chen return to the forest and continue comprehending the wind's characteristics.

"This lesson was truly of great significance!"

"That's right. Yi Chen's teaching this time was equivalent to opening the path of cultivation for the Human Race on Exile Planet. Even if Yi Chen never teaches any other cultivation methods, the Chaos Art will probably be passed down. In a thousand years, it may even spread across the entire Exile Planet."

"It's made me a little jealous of the Flame Mountain Tribe's people. Come to think of it, although we began cultivating the Chaos Art two months ago, and even the latecomers began after learning that our lifespans could double,"

"in the true sense, we all stole the craft by peeking at the master. Only the Flame Mountain Tribe's people possess the orthodox inheritance."

"Who cares whether it's orthodox or stolen? As long as we can learn it, that's enough. What's giving me the biggest headache is that it's already been more than a day. Why haven't the Billion Medicines Cultivation Method Research Institute and the other newly established Cultivation Method Research Institutes released a single New Cultivation Method?"

"Yeah! It's been over a day already. Who knows how far their progress has gotten!"

Although the audience in the Live Stream Room had also listened to Yi Chen's lesson as if intoxicated and benefited greatly from it,

they were nowhere near as excited as the Flame Mountain Tribe's people.

Because the New Cultivation Methods they had been eagerly awaiting, whose effects far surpassed the Chaos Art, had still not been released by a single Research Institute.
