When Chu Ge devoted himself to cultivation, he actually had an easier time than other people.
He might have seemed to be studying all sorts of things: the Golden Bell Shield, the Plum-Folding Hand, keeping up his running workouts and footwork practice on the stakes, and practicing the Heaven-Changing Earth-Shifting Great Method and the Spatial Art. It was quite a jumble.
But those were all merely applications or supplementary practices. Practicing a little more or less made no great difference; it was simply a matter of familiarity.

His fundamental path lay in writing.
Circulating his cultivation technique while writing at the same time no longer seemed like dividing his attention between two tasks to the present Chu Ge.
When Heaven-Changing Earth-Shaking and the Spatial Dao were incorporated into it together, it was like turning the scenes he used to imagine while writing into a film viewed from above, then recounting it frame by frame in words.
