Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 994: Chapter 543: Lecture on the Dao (Part 2)

As a Nascent Soul Early Stage Peak Cultivator, he needed to consider preparing the corresponding fourth-grade Spirit Pills for advancing to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and he would also need fourth-grade Spirit Pills for future advancement to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

Currently, the highest Alchemy ability in the sect belongs to Li Shiming.

However, Li Shiming is an Alchemy Master of the Phoenix lineage, and he belongs to the Dragon lineage. Although Master Ding has a way to convince Li Shiming to refine pills for him, he still needs to find another way, as forced coercion is not an option.

Li Shiming also recognized several Nascent Soul Cultivators here, all core cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beast Sect, indicating that the Great Cultivator’s lecture is indeed very attractive.

Female cultivators still have some conveniences. Shui Miao, leading Feng Lanxin and Li Shiming, arrived at a position closer to the front; this was the best spot to listen to the lecture.

Li Shiming also noticed that Shui Miao’s identity was not simple, even Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners would smile upon seeing her.

He sat cross-legged on a futon, while Feng Lanxin and Shui Miao beside him began exchanging messages through voice transmission.

Although there were dozens of Nascent Soul Cultivators in the hall, with more continuously arriving, the hall remained extremely quiet.

Even if cultivators wanted to communicate, they did so through voice transmission like Feng Lanxin and Shui Miao.

When nearly a hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators had gathered in the hall, a figure suddenly appeared at the front.

This figure arrived in a very mysterious manner. Even though there were many Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners in the hall, Li Shiming, despite being a Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner, had a formidable spirit allowing him to perceive far beyond his rank. Yet, even so, neither he nor the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Practitioners noticed how the figure appeared.

Shui Miao and other Taichu Sect cultivators stood up together, and other sect Nascent Soul Cultivators, realizing what was happening, stood up as well.

”Greetings to Qi the Great Cultivator!” all cultivators bowed and saluted.

Even though Qi the Great Cultivator was not their actual teacher, they considered Qi their teacher at this moment as he was preparing to lecture.

All cultivators treated Qi the Great Cultivator with the respect of a teacher, honoring him.

”Today, I will speak about the Dao of Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Five Elements!” Qi the Great Cultivator gestured for everyone to sit down again as he settled cross-legged on the futon on stage, speaking in a deep voice.

Li Shiming felt a surge of spirit energy fill the hall. He had never experienced such powerful spirit energy before.

If this spirit energy had any intent to harm him, he feared he would not even be able to muster the strength to resist.

However, this spirit energy was not aggressive; it was gentle like water, making him feel enveloped in a sea of spirit, softly enfolding him.

Qi the Great Cultivator began his lecture, each word he uttered entered Li Shiming’s body along with the spirit energy, bringing his insights with them.

Li Shiming immediately understood the benefits of this lecture; it was almost like hands-on teaching. As long as one wasn’t foolish, they could gain insights into the views of high-level cultivators through Qi the Great Cultivator’s lecture.

Of course, the insights into Yin Yang Five Elements by a cultivator of Qi’s level might not suit all cultivators.

Each cultivator is an individual, and the insight into Yin Yang Five Elements needs to be adapted to one’s situation; blindly copying Qi’s insights might cause one to lose their own understanding, preventing any future advancement.

Therefore, cultivators listening to the lecture need to have their own critical thinking skills to judge the lecture content.

In any case, attending such a lecture was a rare opportunity for all the cultivators present.

Such opportunities only occurred every hundred years, and the Taichu Sect opened this chance to all fellow Daoists participating in the exchange meeting.

Li Shiming stopped the cultivation of his four Nascent Souls, paused all other activities, and focused all 191 brains with his life-bound treasure IBMz15 to listen to the lecture.

Qi the Great Cultivator’s lecture progressed very rapidly, and missing even a little might result in failing to comprehend the content, leading to passive acceptance, which would yield minimal benefits.

His life-bound treasure IBMz15 recorded the entire lecture, including the manipulation of the spirit on site.

Only IBMz15 could achieve this; other cultivators, even with similar Secret Techniques, could not record the Great Cultivator’s lecture.

This involved the influence of Heaven and Earth Rules; the Great Cultivator’s content was closely related to these rules, making it impossible to record through normal means.

As time passed, all 191 of Li Shiming’s brains were fully immersed in the lecture.

His understanding of Yin Yang Five Elements was profound; his avatar, Li Yuanba, cultivates Yin Yang, with the Taiji Dao Body comprising two states of Yin and Yang.

Li Yuanba’s Yang was the human state, and Yin was the Body Refinement state, Yin and Yang complementing each other.

As for the Five Elements, ever since his cultivation started with the ’Five Elements Qi Absorption Array,’ he had been deeply entrenched in the Five Elements Dao.

He even cultivated five unprecedented Nascent Souls, making his Dao path unique.

When Qi the Great Cultivator lectured on the most profound aspects of the Five Elements, few cultivators in the hall could keep up, only those with extensive research in the Five Elements.

The reason why the Taichu Sect hosted such a gathering was not to do good deeds in cultivating talents for other sects.

It was due to the Taichu Sect’s unique Cultivation Techniques, needing lectures to enhance themselves.

But such lectures required not just random teachings; feedback played a crucial role, as only through interactive teaching and listening could the lecture enhance one’s understanding.

Only core cultivators from major sects, who have access to many sect classics and theories inaccessible to regular cultivators, could truly comprehend and keep up with the lectures.

Qi the Great Cultivator’s lectures rarely found suitable audiences; great cultivators wouldn’t attend his lectures.

Every great cultivator has their own Dao, listening to someone else’s might affect their own Dao, so it’s unlikely they’d listen to his lectures.

He interspersed his lectures with personal insights, which were not universal and were unique to his Dao.

Qi the Great Cultivator was very satisfied so far, as eight Nascent Soul Cultivators had kept up with his lecture, providing feedback.

During the lecture, upon receiving feedback from these eight Nascent Soul Cultivators, Qi’s thoughts flowed like a fountain, and he continued to utter deeper insights.

But as the lecture deepened, one by one, the Nascent Soul Cultivators could no longer keep pace, passively accepting, and the feedback disappeared.

Qi the Great Cultivator did not know how much longer he could continue. Once the last Nascent Soul Cultivator who could follow along could no longer provide feedback, the lecture would conclude.

He was not satisfied with such an outcome; he needed more time to lecture.

Soon, only one of the eight Nascent Soul Cultivators remained steadfast, and his gaze fell on that cultivator.

It was an unfamiliar Nascent Soul Cultivator, extremely young, a cultivator under a hundred years old, indicating that this Nascent Soul Early Stage Practitioner had terrifying talent.

The younger he was, the more difficult it was to have persisted until now.

The remaining cultivator was Li Shiming, with 191 brains continuously operating, and coupled with the tremendous computational power of his life-bound treasure IBMz15, he established a Five Elements model in his spirit.

This Five Elements model was being refined with Qi the Great Cultivator’s in-depth lecture, and his understanding of the Five Elements had significantly improved.

As for being influenced by Qi the Great Cultivator’s Dao, he did not worry at all. His life-bound treasure IBMz15 conducted a preliminary analysis and research on the lecture content without personal insight, objectively handling the knowledge first.

Qi the Great Cultivator’s smile grew broader, and his lecture continued to deepen; the understanding of the Five Elements was approaching the Late-stage Nascent Soul domain, yet Li Shiming still kept pace.
