Only after choosing the two major traits did Wang Quan begin building up his foundations.
He did not cultivate along the Divine Ability path he had planned, instead choosing numerous spells and Fundamental Methods.
Orthodox Cultivators in the Polar Lands could freely choose the methods of any Orthodox Mystic Sect or Heterodox Path.
