Chapter 545 Cultivation is never easy
The complexity of Immortal Cultivation was so great, that there existed nurous thods just to achieve each level.
There are different ways to gather Qi for QI Condensation, and there are also nurous techniques that can be done to establish one’s Foundation for Foundation Establishnt. Obviously, there are also nurous thods to reach the Dao Core Stage, which Alex is aiming to achieve right now.
"Hm... according to this book, I must first learn how to break my Dao Foundation before trying to achieve the Dao Core Stage..." Alex mused as he closed the book that he held. "Tsk, the author of this cultivation thod must be really a sadist for making do this. Destroy my Dao Foundation like it’s just candy? Man, this cultivation thod could really kill for real in the future..."
He had been reading this book for a few minutes already, and he had just finished reading it by the 5-minute mark. Once he was done reading it, the first thing that Alex did was to complain, which was showcased by the words that he just uttered.
"Tsk, when I read the Volus 1 and 2 of the Yin-Yang Duality Percept thod, I was imdiately hooked by its contents. After all, who in their right minds would reject a cultivation thod that can let your reach the Ninth Stage? Certainly not ..." Alex suddenly sighed, as if he was lanting about his decision. "But now that I trained this cultivation thod? I’m not really sure that it will be easy..."
**************
After Alex obtained countless treasures from the Great TIMaster at the Immortal World, the first thing that he did was to look for an Immortal Cultivation thod that will suit his power. This was hard for him before, as there were just nurous manuals that promised him with smooth cultivation.
After a few hours of searching however, Alex stopped what he was doing after finding two books that imdiately piqued his interest.
These books were respectively the Volus 1 and 2 of the Yin-Yang Duality Percept thod, although at that ti, their titles were still blocked.
Even when Alex was suspicious about the weird nature of these two books before, once he read their contents, he quickly decided to use these books for his Immortal Cultivation.
After all, these books discussed a unique way of cultivation, one which relies on an individual’s comprehension on the concept of Duality.
Ice-Fire, Life-Death, Light-Darkness, Space-Ti, Inside-Outside, and many more ere examples of the Duality Concept existing here in reality. All of them were omnipresent in the Multiverse, and it will be hard to avoid even a single part of them.
Once a cultivator manages to attune himself with these concepts using the Yin-Yang Duality Percept thod, he can fuse these concepts with himself, which will lead to astonishing abilities that transcend convention!
With these kind of benefits brought by this thod, Alex did not hesitate to rebuild his Immortal Cultivation from scratch. He willingly broke his foundation, allowing him to restart Qi Condensation, this ti with the new cultivation thod as his guide.
But once he had started cultivating it, he imdiately realized sothing.
As it turns out, cultivating this new thod was actually extrely difficult...
************
"The Volu 1 is all about Qi Condensation. It talks about how I must properly attune myself with nature while drawing in Qi towards my body. It is only through this way that I can make my Qi as pure as possible." Alex thought as he let out a tired sigh. "Once I did that, my Qi will have to be separated into two halves."
"The first half of my Qi will be imbued with an essence of anything related to fire. As for the second half of my Qi, it will be imbued with an essence of anything related to ice. By doing that, I will have two types of Qi inside my body. Once is Fire Qi, while the other is Ice Qi. Doing this thod will lead to the formation of the first Duality Concept inside my body, which is the Ice-Fire Duality."
Alex let out more sigh at this ti, as his body seed to tremble from the words that he just said. It was as if he had so bad mories invoked at this point, sothing that made him feel extrely unpleasant.
"Sigh... the separation of my Qi and turning them into Fire-Type Qi and Ice-Type Qi are just easy. After all, there’s Essence Flas and Cosmic Ices that are present on my treasure stockpile. I just fused one Essence Fla and one Cosmic Ice on my Qi, and boom! I already had Fire QI and Ice Qi. However, that was when the difficult part started..."
"As it turns out, making my Fire QI and Ice Qi coexist inside my body is extrely difficult, to the point that my body was near the point of explosion. Tsk, I almost died 10 tis just from making my Fire QI and Ice Qi touch each other! 10 tis!" If Alex could look angry, then he could be doing that right now. "I only succeeded on making them coexist after I used my other Power Systems to force them to stay together. But even with that, I still had so internal injuries!"
"...It was only after I made them coexist that I was able to finish the guide in Volu 1. But even with my success, I found no happiness at all. After all, the author of this cultivation thod said that Volu 1 will just be easy..." Alex then snorted, as if he just heard sothing irritating. "Easy? Easy my ass! I almost died from it! How could this s**t be easy? Maybe it’s easy for the author, since he has a body that can easily accommodate different types of Qi. But for ? I am just a normal Immortal Cultivator! Forcing different types of Qi inside my body will of course be difficult!!!!"
"If it weren’t for the fact that I gained useful abilities after reaching the Peak Qi Condensation, I could have stopped using this thod already. Lucky for you, author. The benefits of your cultivation thod far outweighs the risk. Now, even if I don’t like to risk my immortal cultivation, I have no choice but to use this cultivation thod since it is hella powerful..."
Upon reaching this line of thought, Alex shook his head as if he was trying to erase so bad mories inside his head. He then slumped his shoulders as he began inscribing a formation on the floor.
"If the Volu 1 of the Yin-Yang Duality Percept thod is for QI Condenstoian, the Volu 2 on the other hand talks about Foundation Establishnt. In this volu, it was discussed how I should build my Foundation and on how I should apply more Duality Concepts inside it-""
Alex’s body visibly shuddered, making him almost falter from writing on the floor. This shudder only lasted for a second however, which allowed him to resu writing.
"To reach the Foundaotin Establishnt Stage, I must first destroy all the Qi that I condensed in my dantian. Once I did that, I will then consu a Foundation Establishnt Pill that will catalyze a reaction with my Qi. That will lead to the creation of my Dao Foundation...."
"Once my Dao Foundation has been established, I will then have to lace it with the Daos that I have comprehended. The more Daos that I have comprehended, the better it will be. In my case, since I ponder on the concepts of Duality, I will have to lace my Dao Foundation with Daos related to Duality..."
"As I already had experience with the Ice-Fire concept, I was able to easily comprehend its Dao. This Dao, which I called as the Ice-Fire Dao, obviously was the first Dao that I laced in my Dao Foundation...."
"I did not stop after that. With all the free ti that I have before, I began to force myself to comprehend more Duality Concepts so that I can get more Daos. After all, Volu 2 states that the more Daos that I can lace with my Dao Foundation, the better it will be for on the future...."
"But how in the f**king hell can I just easily comprehend a lot of Daos in a short ti? The author of course had no problem with that, since his body allowed him to comprehend Duality Concepts easily. As for ? I have to rely on consuming treasures and my own ntal prowess just to emulate that...."
Alex’s finger hovered in the air as he finished the last portion of the formation that he was writing. Once this has happened, Alex retracted his hand. He then began pulling out nurous objects from his Storage, which all emanated a rich aura comparable to that of precious treasures
Seeing these objects made Alex’s body more tense, with the disk that he made earlier suddenly trembling in his hands.
"With all the free ti that I had before, I was able to comprehend 4 more Duality Concepts. One is the Space-Ti Dao, which I obtained after training with Alina. The second one is the Life-Death Dao, which I got from observing Queen Mother’s life force and Professor Frances’ research on death."
"The third one is the Real-Unreal Dao, which I comprehended from my experience in the Esper World. As for the fourth and final Dao, it is the Body-Soul Dao. How did I comprehend that again? Oh right, it’s from all the soul and body shenanigans that I faced before..."
"All in all, that gives 5 Daos of Duality laced in my Dao Foundation. Ice-Fire, Space-Ti, Life-Death, Real-Unreal, and Body-Soul.... According to Volu 2, this amount of Daos is just average."
Alex seed to be mildly irritated by this line of thought, as he began placing his items on the formation with a grumbling expression on his face.
"Hmph, so what if it is average? There’s still a chance for to comprehend more Duality Daos in the future, so having 5 right now is just fine. I still have a lot of ti left to live, so 5 is really just okay!"
"Hong~"
The formation on the floor suddenly lit up once Alex had completed placing all the items on its nodes. This change brought forth a transformation in the air, which made the disk on Alex’s hands to tremble more.
Alex ignored this change as he sat back on the floor, with his mind now preoccupied not by the past, but by his impending future.
"Now that I have reached the peak of Foundation Establishnt, it is ti for to break through the Dao Core Stage. It’s a good thing that I found and read the Volu 3 already. Now, all that I have to do is just break through, and hope that nothing bad will happen..."
