Chaos Heaven rubbed his chin. "Why would it damage your foundation down the road? Wouldn't a cultivation method like that be killing the hen to get its eggs? I wouldn't lead my students astray."
"The main purpose of cultivation is to strengthen the entire body and soul. If you compare your cultivation to a cup of water, then cultivating means continually reinforcing that cup until it becomes a bucket, and eventually a river."
"Your progress slows mostly because your talent is weak. The higher your cultivation, the more things you need to stabilize, so naturally your cultivation slows down."

"Then you would effectively be starting at the finish line."
"Of course, doing this also has a major drawback for you. The more people practice this cultivation method, the more you benefit. But if too many people die one day, your cultivation will also shrink rapidly."
