Writing a Treatise, One Oversight in a Hundred Calculations

The word "Law Power" caught Qiu Yan's attention, and he wanted to investigate it. However, before that, he needed to understand the content of the Fourth Realm of Life Cultivation.

The opportunity is now rare. The cultivation information fed back by the ripples of Human Path is not based on Qiu Yan's insights and experiences, but rather on the Nascent Soul fragment of that Heavenly Hound.

The Heavenly Hound was of extraordinary origin and possessed a high level of cultivation. However, due to severe injuries, its physical body was destroyed, leaving only its Nascent Soul. Furthermore, one of its Nascent Soul fragments was imprisoned by Qiu Yan. Nevertheless, its cultivation level remained high, and the fragments of its nascent soul could gather, analyze, and summarize insights and information from those of lower cultivation levels, feeding them back to Qiu Yan's mind.

Such an opportunity is rare and hard to come by. If the Heavenly Hound hadn't been severely injured and its original body incomplete, it wouldn't have been torn to pieces by the Dragon Qi. Instead, it would have been able to protect itself like the Imperial Preceptor and the Venerable One, or it would have been severely injured like the Palace Master, unable to release any information in time.

If Qiu Yan hadn't consulted the classic texts, which held significant importance for Human Path and attracted two streams of Dragon Qi, the current situation wouldn't have arisen, and the imprint of the Nascent Soul fragments wouldn't have been removed.

If the mark is not removed, the Heavenly Hound's aura will remain in the Nascent Soul fragment. If it is absorbed, it will cause endless trouble, not to mention triggering information feedback.

Similarly, even if all these things were accomplished, there wouldn't be many high-level cultivators trying to get close to the source of the Human Path Dao Ripples on a regular basis, thereby leaking information.

If the leaked information is insufficient and difficult to analyze and summarize, it will ultimately only be fragmentary and of little significance.

This situation arose because of Qiu Yan's location and the Military Canon he had written. The officials of the Rear Army Command Office had no choice but to come to his aid, and by a twist of fate, the current situation was created.

Moreover, it was only because he was writing down ancient texts that his many insights and changes in information could reveal their deeper mysteries; at other times, such a convenient opportunity would not have been possible.

Information changes are like receiving instruction from a renowned master, something that is very rare for Rogue Cultivator like Qiu Yan who has no sect to rely on.

With all these factors combined, Qiu Yan was naturally able to distinguish between what was important and what was urgent. No matter how much doubt or curiosity he had about "Law Power," he would not skip over it and instead interpret the content step by step.

Suppressing distracting thoughts, the various pieces of information regarding the Fourth Realm of Life Cultivation were reorganized and presented.

"The Fourth Realm of Life Cultivation, the Profound Origin Realm, also has three stages..."

"The first step, which can be called the nascent Nascent Soul Embryo, is to consolidate and stabilize the opened Purple Mansion, making one's own Fortune concrete and manifest, transforming into a misty purple qi. The outline of the Nascent Soul is constructed by this misty purple qi, and its combat power is comparable to Half-Step Third Grade."

"The second step: The nascent Formed Nascent Soul, Fortune and exhaling vital energy. The Nascent Soul gradually merges with the physical body, guided by acupoints. This allows the nascent Nascent Soul to also develop its own acupoints. If it unleashes an attack, it can shatter the spirit, and the Nascent Soul can also Spirit Projection. Its combat power is comparable to Third Grade deity."

"In this Third Step, the acupoints merge with the Nascent Soul, connecting the meridians. It fuses with flesh and bones, absorbing the essence of blood and flesh to create Golden Body Nascent Soul, powerful enough to distort space and reality, shatter realms and reality, its combat strength comparable to Second Grade god. It's worth mentioning that in this step, one can also master Law Power, and this 'Law Power' is not limited to cultivation of Nature Cultivation or Life Cultivation..."

Before the thought had even settled, Qiu Yan felt a jolt in his heart, and the book in his hand began to shake violently, the pages trembling as if it were about to collapse!

Then, the Dragon Qi protecting Qiu Yan also showed signs of waning, and the hurricane caused by the collision of the two Dragon Qi was also greatly reduced!

"Hmm?" The Imperial Preceptor, the Venerable One, and the Heavenly Hound, who were directly affected by the hurricane, undoubtedly noticed this immediately!

The Imperial Preceptor, being a man of great experience, scanned the area with his senses and guessed the general reason!

"So that's how it is. This scholar, unable to escape because of our arrival, gambled everything, combining his original preparations with his memories and insights, aiming to write a classic text. This book is indeed extraordinary, and it's clear he originally intended to do so. However, due to the suddenness of the event, his preparations and accumulation were incomplete and inadequate, and now he's running out of steam!"

Upon realizing this, the Imperial Preceptor's initial worry vanished instantly, replaced by an increasingly strong alternative thought!

"However, this scholar can activate Dragon Qi for protection, which shows he has some skill. If I capture him and imprison him, then his future achievements will be Rouluo to enjoy! Using the skills of the Central Plains people to conquer the Central Plains is the most ideal thing, and imprisoning a scholar who is almost Sage and spreading the word will also be an indelible achievement!"

As he pondered, he could clearly feel the raging air currents around him becoming smoother, the power suppressing his Divine Ability abilities slowly dissipating, and the two Dragon Qi gradually blurring, as if they were about to leave.

"It'll be soon... it'll be soon... I just need to wait, I need to be patient, and seize that fleeting opportunity!"

Opportunity favors the prepared mind!

At the same time, a thought flashed through Qiu Yan's mind. Even the Rouluo State Preceptor saw the reason, so how could Qiu Yan, as the person involved, not notice it at all?

Moreover, with the help of the spread of the ripples of Human Path, Qiu Yan discovered many things that even the Imperial Preceptor and the Venerable One had not noticed.

"The expansion of the Human Path Ripple allows me to sense cultivators within a certain range and discern their general inclinations from the fragments of information they leak, thus clarifying friend from foe. Currently, many cultivators from the Central Plains are coming from the south, presumably to provide support, while the situation in the north is quite the opposite..."

Qiu Yan's insights and experiences continued to flow into the book, merging with the records of the Military Pavilion and the ink-like clouds, writing down each and every word.

However, compared to what began later, the insights and experiences gained at this time have changed from a mighty river to a mere stream.

Writing books is not actually a difficult thing. Many people in various schools and academies have tried it. Even ordinary scholars and candidates can write collections of poems and essays. However, such books are just simple records that showcase literary talent and have little impact on Human Path.

If one truly wants to influence Literary Dao, one must write books and establish doctrines, record a theory or idea on paper, and then spread it throughout the world so that people can follow it and live in harmony with Human Path. This will also benefit oneself, deepen one's understanding of Human Path, and receive feedback.

However, there are differences in how books are written. Most people can only organize, summarize, and integrate what their predecessors have written into a book. Such books may have an impact on Human Path and bring feedback to themselves, but they are ultimately just picking up scraps of others' ideas and are unlikely to have a significant impact.

Another approach is to combine one's own insights and experiences with the summaries of predecessors. This approach is not simply to organize the Literary Thoughts of predecessors, but to build upon their work and transform what predecessors had not noticed from abstract concepts, phenomena, and expressions into concrete words, thus pioneering a new path!

This kind of writing is the true meaning of establishing theories and doctrines. Those related to the country and people's livelihood will have a huge impact on the progress of Human Path, causing the embodiment of Human Path — the Dragon Qi —to react.

What Qiu Yan is doing now is the second type of writing, which is why he appeared with the yellow and Black Dragon energy. However, this kind of writing requires a high level of personal accumulation. Fortunately, Qiu Yan does not intend to complete it all at once, but only to record the first part, which is related to the military system, combined with his insights and experiences, and use this to open up an opportunity to escape the trap.

"But despite all the calculations, because I hadn't experienced it before, I still overlooked one thing. When the many cultivators within the range of the Human Path Dao Ripple move, the information gathers, which can deepen the understanding of the path of Nature Cultivation, but it also inadvertently increases the material, diluting what was originally a sufficient amount of accumulation."

Qiu Yan decided to write this book, but he didn't set his goals too high, to avoid being overly ambitious. However, regarding the memory of the military system, each part had to be combined with his own understanding, just like eating a bite of vegetables and a bite of rice.

Because of a lack of prior experience, the unexpected information about cultivation was mixed in, greatly increasing the amount of main dishes while the corresponding staple food remained unchanged, leading to the current situation.

"We've already come this far, and the last leg of a journey is the hardest. If we fail because of this slight deviation, all our previous efforts will not only be wasted, but this half-finished book will also become worthless. The real problem is that many abstract concepts have already been concretely described in words and written in the <Essentials of the Military Classics>. In the future, these contents will no longer be able to evoke Human Path."

What has already been described will become "past experience" in the future. Writing it again will no longer be effective, and it cannot be done in one go, as the words will be incomplete and easily lead to ambiguity, which is not conducive to Human Path development.

The wind around them was getting weaker and weaker. The Imperial Preceptor and the Venerable One had already settled down and released their senses to surround Qiu Yan, preparing to make their move as soon as the Dragon Qi dissipated.

Beside him, the Left Wise King also recovered from his panic and realized the change in the situation. He looked at Qiu Yan and revealed a cold smile.

"Let's see how you plan to escape!"

"Since that's the case!" Unexpectedly, Qiu Yan suddenly lowered his head and looked at the Left Wise King, startling the latter and giving him a sense of impending doom!

"You..." He opened his mouth abruptly, wanting to say something, but before he could finish speaking, half of his body was pulled away.

Qiu Yan's right hand reached forward and tore through flesh, penetrating the chest and squeezing the person's heart. His Qi and Blood surged and vibrated, synchronizing with the person's heartbeat, and ultimately triggered a spark of will.

Boom!

The Left Wise King was shaken to his core, and the Offensive Order that aligned with his thoughts was forcibly activated!

"What exactly do you want to do!" In his roar, a glint flashed in Qiu Yan's eyes, and a divine light appeared out of thin air, transforming into a lotus flower. After blooming, the stamen made a small slit, and from the depths of that slit, Zhou Rao's aura wafted out!

"This is..." The Left Wise King was startled. Before he could react, the violent aura surging from the crack blinded him! (To be continued...)
