Cultivation: But Not a Game

"Notification: The Innate Saint Sect Master Tongtian is imparting to you the Huang Ting Jing (Great Dao)."

A most profound and mysterious sound of the Dao rose directly from Su Yu’s heart, ascending to his Purple Palace Sea of Consciousness, transforming into countless fine purple light runes, which gathered into a purple cloud above the Chaos Pearl.

The voice of Sect Master Tongtian echoed beside Su Yu’s ear:

"This is passed down from your ancestral master, the Profound Sect’s direct transmission Huang Ting Jing, the scripture of the Great Dao. You must often recite it silently as cultivation. Through countless kalpas of accumulation, you can prove the Great Dao with your strength."

Huang Ting Jing (Great Dao): The Profound Sect’s direct transmission Daoist scripture, reciting silently every day can enhance cultivation.

Su Yu’s heart stirred, he silently recited the Huang Ting, and soon finished one recitation, only to see....

"Notification: You recited the Huang Ting Jing once, Qi and Blood limit +100, Mana limit +50, Physique limit +10, Strength limit +20."

"Hiss!"

"This is too exaggerated!"

Su Yu drew in a breath of cold air, both surprised and delighted.

Just by reciting the Huang Ting Jing once, one could enhance the limits of Qi and Blood, Mana, and attributes, something unheard and unseen, truly outrageous.

Even more outrageous is that this enhancement has no limit and can increase infinitely. If done every day for 10,000 years, amounting to 3.65 million days, it would increase the Qi and Blood limit by 365 million, Mana limit by 182.5 million, Physique limit by 36.5 million, and Strength limit by 73 million.

Transform that into a million years and just add two zeros to the end of these figures.

That would be a Qi and Blood limit of 36.5 billion, Mana limit of 18.2 billion, Physique limit of 3.6 billion, and Strength limit of 7.3 billion.

What if it were 100 million years?

That would be a Qi and Blood limit of 3.65 trillion, Mana limit of 1.82 trillion, Physique limit of 360 billion, and Strength limit of 730 billion, roughly equivalent to the increase of a Golden Immortal level demon beast.

And one Primordial Assembly equals over 180 billion years.

A cosmic cycle is 60 trillion years, which is one countless kalpas, allowing an increase of 2.19 quintillion Qi and Blood, or 1.095 quintillion Mana, and 2.19 trillion Physique and 4.38 trillion Strength.

"Hiss!"

After doing the calculations, Su Yu understood what Sect Master Tongtian meant.

If one can diligently practice and recite the Huang Ting every day, after one countless kalpas, Mana can accumulate to such a level, indeed allowing one to prove the Dao with strength.

Truly, this is the only Great Dao-level Daoist method Su Yu has ever seen, genuinely pointing directly to the path of the Great Dao.

Therefore, the Profound Sect’s direct transmission all has methods to prove the Dao; theoretically, all can verify the Great Dao, it’s just that the time span is unbelievably long.

"Not bad, not bad, it’s still a method to prove the Dao at least, considered a backup path for the future."

He closed the panel, opened his eyes, and first bowed in a certain direction:

"Disciple Su Yu, thanks the ancestral master for the impartation of the method!"

"Thank you master for the impartation of the method."

Sect Master Tongtian smiled and nodded, continuing:

"You have already been accepted into my sect, as my Profound Sect’s third-generation disciple. Your ancestral master has already bestowed a Dao name upon you, ’Ding Zhen’."

Su Yu bowed again:

"Disciple Ding Zhen, thanks the ancestral master!"

"Very good!"

Sect Master Tongtian waved his sleeves, the space shifted, and instantly returned from the starry skies to the grand hall, still seated on the cloud bed.

"Dong!"

A crisp jade chime sounded, innate clear energy surged within the hall, the stars on the dome slowly rotated, strands of substantial starlight fell, and Sect Master Tongtian’s true words of the Dao reached Su Yu’s ears.

The innate clear energy in the hall continuously transformed with the Saint’s true words, condensing into golden lotuses that floated above the jade stone floor.

The stars falling from the sky combined with the Daoist charm, transforming into starlight, forming blossoms of heavenly flowers floating in the air.

The so-called Earth spewing golden lotuses, Heaven descending scattered flowers, just so.

A golden lotus touched Su Yu and quickly disappeared. In the next instant, a lotus flower seemed to appear out of nowhere in his Sea of Consciousness, decomposing back into the truth of the Dao, merging into his Purple Palace, strengthening his Primordial Spirit, with some portion seeping into his body, strengthening his physique.

"Buzz!"

A Five-Color Divine Light emerged from behind his head, wandering into the mist of the river of time, slowly revolving around himself.

A faint gravitational force emerged, the heavenly flowers floating in the air gathered towards him, merging into the Five-Color Divine Light.

Su Yu listened with total absorption, not knowing the passage of time.

If he opened the panel now, he would find that merging each golden lotus could increase the Qi and Blood limit by over 10 million, Mana limit by 1 million, Physique by 100,000, and Strength by 200,000, while the strength of the Primordial Spirit would also gradually increase.

Each merged heavenly flower would lead to a different degree of comprehension of the Dao Laws he mastered, gradually enhancing them.

Listening to the Dao, oblivious to the passage of time, and after some time, the golden lotuses stopped emerging, and the heavenly flowers no longer fell. Su Yu returned to his senses to discover Sect Master Tongtian had disappeared, but his master’s words lingered in his ears:

"Continue tomorrow!"

"Oh!"

Su Yu rubbed his chin, opened the panel to check the notification, and smiled at the long list of enhancements.

After one lecture on the Dao, his cultivation did not progress, still at Profound Immortal zero grade, but Qi and Blood increased by 10 billion, Mana increased by 1 billion, Physique by 100 million, and Strength by 200 million.

Besides that, Primordial Spirit strength increased by 20%, the Law of Time rose from 82 to 84, the Five Elements Law from 91 to 92, the Life Law from 70 to 75, and the Devouring Law from 70 to 75, even the Supreme Transcendent Dragon benefitted equally.

The Qi and Blood limit increased by 10 billion, Mana limit by 1 billion, Physique limit by 100 million, and Strength limit by 200 million.

The Primordial Spirit of the Ancient Dragon increased by 20%, the Ancient Dragon’s Fire Element Law rose from 70 to 75, the Life Law from 70 to 75, and the Devouring Law also from 70 to 75.

"So this is a Saint’s lecture on the Dao!"

Such a large increase in one session – if one listens to a few more sessions, wouldn’t they be invincible?

Well, he also knows that’s impossible. Surely only the first few times would have such potent effects, and thereafter, the effects would gradually diminish.

But even if reduced, they wouldn’t be much less; even if it’s only a tenth of the first time, it’s still quite outrageous.
