Chapter 43 (Guidance)
Chapter 43 (Instructions)
The entire silver light ball was slightly cooler. At this time, Mu Hao was holding the silver light ball, but he could no longer feel the connection between himself and the Soul-Devouring Skeleton bones. He couldn't help but admire Taoist Cang Feng's wonderful method.
Although I didn't understand why Cang Feng did this, Mu Hao didn't ask much and directly placed the silver light ball in the small bag around his waist.
"Mu Hao, are you curious why I sealed this soul-devouring skeleton bone?" Taoist Cang Feng said with a smile.
Seeing Mu Hao nodding, Cang Feng explained: "The soul-devouring skeleton bone in your hand is definitely a first-class spiritual treasure. Although the spiritual treasures of most practitioners can improve their grades through their own long-term fortune, there is still a very obvious difference from the soul-devouring skeleton bone you get from Morok. In the system of cultivators in the Opres Continent, the grades of the spiritual treasures are very obvious. They are also divided into magical instruments and spiritual instruments. Your soul-devouring skeleton bone has reached the category of spiritual instruments."
"Elder Cangfeng, what is a magic weapon and a spiritual weapon? Is there any difference between the two?" Mu Hao finally asked at this time. Cangfeng's previous explanation attracted Mu Hao's great curiosity.
Cang Feng smiled slightly: "The cultivation system on the mainland is quite complicated now, so the definition of spiritual treasures is not very obvious. Generally, cultivators who cultivate original energy will transport a spiritual treasure of their own. However, there are still great differences between spiritual treasures and spiritual treasures based on the different materials and refining. Generally, our cultivator system calls spiritual treasures that do not have much room for self-renewal promotion as magic weapons, while spiritual treasures like the Soul-Devouring Skeleton Bone that can have the potential for independent promotion are called spiritual weapons. The difference between the two is that the promotion level of spiritual weapons will not be limited by the cultivator's own strength."
"Advanced to grade? Can the grade of Lingbao be promoted?" Mu Hao asked in confusion.
"Haha~~~ Of course, good spiritual treasures will continue to transform like cultivators with potential. It is rumored that in ancient times, countless spiritual treasures with great power appeared on our Opres continent, and some of them are still circulated among the sects on the continent. The powerful ones can even move mountains and shake the seas."
Seeing Mu Hao's longing look on his face, Cang Feng said lightly: "Okay, these things are too far away from you. Let's talk about your soul-devouring skeleton bone first."
When Mu Hao heard Cang Feng mention the Soul-Devouring Skeleton Bone, he immediately focused his attention. Although Mu Hao had no expression on the surface, Mu Hao still attaches great importance to this Soul-Devouring Skeleton Bone. From Morok's magic note, Mu Hao learned that if this Soul-Devouring Skeleton Bone completely reaches the purple grade, it will produce a huge power.
"Mu Hao, the reason why I seal your soul-devouring skeleton bone is that you do not have the energy to transport it to you. This soul-devouring skeleton bone has great power, but it is not something you can control now. If you don't do it well, it will cause serious backlash to the holder. So before you can fully achieve your ability to control it, don't open the seal of the soul-devouring skeleton bone. It is important to have a powerful spiritual treasure, but you cannot rely too much on it. Remember, water can carry a boat and can overturn it. The most important thing for cultivators is to develop their own potential." Cang Feng said earnestly.
Mu Hao nodded seriously: "I understand, but Taoist Cang Feng, what should I do next?"
Seeing a slight hint of anxiousness flashing in Mu Hao's eyes, Cang Feng smiled and asked, "Mu Hao, are you confused?"
Mu Hao hesitated for a moment, and still spoke to Cang Feng: "Master Taoist, I am a little confused about the direction of my cultivation now. Please give me some advice."
"Haha~~~Mu Hao, I think what you want to ask me now is, your future direction of cultivation, right?" Cang Feng said gently at Mu Hao.
"Yes, Taoist Master Cang Feng, I don't have a trace of energy to use in my body now. I don't know what I should do next!" Mu Hao said with a little discouraged look.
"Haha~~~Mu Hao, if you can't cultivate the inner energy of your body now, it does not mean that you will never cultivate it in the future. In the Oprez continent, there are many and complex systems of cultivation. Even if a cultivator uses his lifelong mental power, he will not be able to master all the skills. Therefore, the most important thing for a cultivator is to find a system that suits his own cultivation. Even if a simple exercise can reach a high level, he can still have unimaginable power."
Although Mu Hao understood what Cang Feng meant, he still couldn't make a judgment on the lack of basic knowledge in cultivation.
"Master Cang Feng, please make it clear." Mu Hao said respectfully to Cang Feng.
"Mu Hao, I see that the power of your body is already very strong now, and it seems that you have not reached the limit yet. I think you should work harder on this. Since ancient times, although the system of cultivation has been mixed, it is still unchanged. If divided in general, the practitioners can be roughly divided into four major categories: soul cultivation, self-cultivation, energy cultivation, and external power borrowing."
Mu Hao had a little understanding of the three major cultivation categories mentioned by Cang Feng, but Mu Hao did not understand the use of external forces. After a short period of contact with Cang Feng, Mu Hao found that Cang Feng was not too difficult to get along with, so he gradually let go and asked Cang Feng, "Elder Cang Feng, what do you mean by borrowing external forces?"
Seeing Mu Hao’s puzzled look, Cang Feng thought for a moment and said, “The wisdom of humans and major races is endless. Since ancient times, many predecessors with great wisdom have created countless cultivation systems and techniques. However, in my opinion, they still cannot escape the four categories I mentioned just now, soul cultivation, self-cultivation, and ability cultivation are all methods for cultivators to develop their own potential and get rid of the shackles of heaven and earth. Although each cultivator can evolve some cultivation branches from these systems due to their own actual situation, in general, they still focus on cultivating themselves, just like us cultivators, mainly cultivating spiritual power, which is the so-called cultivation energy. Like other refining weapons, formations, and spiritual treasures, they are all branches evolved under the premise of cultivating energy as the main premise."
Seeing Mu Hao looking interested, Cang Feng continued to explain: "We also have cultivators who use external forces, including Ramon and Dina. Their combat methods are mainly based on summoning monsters and refining magic machinery, and using the power of cultivators' own abilities to use them. They are also very popular in the cultivation system."
"Elder Cangfeng, then which of the four categories you mentioned just now is more powerful?" Mu Hao asked curiously.
After hearing Mu Hao's words, Cang Feng smiled heartily: "Haha~~~ I can't answer this question. Every cultivation system has its own advantages. At least I don't know what the ultimate of these cultivation systems is! According to legend, even cultivators who use external forces can understand the laws of heaven and earth and have the power of turning hands into clouds and turning hands into rain."
"Elder Cang Feng, cultivators like me should be considered a cultivation system for self-cultivation, right?"
Cang Feng's face showed a hint of expectation: "Mu Hao, I know what you think. In fact, your current cultivation foundation is already very solid. Even if you cultivate yourself, you may not be able to take into account the other things. The body of a cultivator is the foundation for everything. Once you have achieved some results in your self-cultivation, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing your body. Since ancient times, there have been many cultivators who have cultivated their bodies to the extreme. The more powerful people who have cultivated their bodies can produce the world.
The reason is that practicing the body is more difficult and harder than other cultivation systems. Moreover, the breakthroughs brought by the body to the cultivator are far less direct than that of cultivation. When the energy and life span are limited, most cultivators will naturally make other choices! But you have the foundation of self-cultivation. At your current age, the strength of the body can be comparable to that of professional cultivators. If you combine effective exercises to assist in the cultivation, the combat power you have will definitely exceed the level of low-level professional cultivators."
At this time, Mu Hao had already put down all the distracting thoughts in his heart and begged respectfully to Cang Feng: "Please also give me guidance."
"Haha~~~ Mu Hao, it's not enough to guide you, but I will try my best to assist you. Well, this is my elder token. Don't participate in the sect competition tomorrow. Go directly to the library to choose a body refining technique. How to go in the future depends on your opportunity. The history of our Ziyun Sect has not been short since its establishment. There are countless techniques in the library, and many of them have great power. Everything depends on your chance and fortune." Cang Feng handed Mu Hao a palm-sized amethyst token with a hearty smile on his face.
Mu Hao, who had originally planned to give up the sect competition, had already lost the idea of entering the library to refer to the martial arts. However, he did not expect that things would turn around and everything seemed to be done without any effort. After listening to Cang Feng's words, Mu Hao could no longer hide his joy and was able to enter the library to choose martial arts. This was undoubtedly great news for Mu Hao now.
