Chapter 130: Chapter 97: Are You Qualified to Cultivate Immortality? (Part 4)

Shen Xinyue glanced at Zhou Changwang upon hearing this, couldn’t help but whisper, and then said, "However, in the Cultivation Realm, although talent is important, it’s not the most important thing.

Even some Five Elements Spiritual Root Cultivators have succeeded in Foundation Establishment, extending their lifespan to two hundred and forty, becoming Foundation Establishment True Cultivators."

"I know.

It’s just that, comparing my cultivation speed, even with taking Spirit Pills daily for training, it’s extremely difficult to advance my cultivation to the Peak of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer before the age of sixty.

Since senior mentioned that some Five Elements Spiritual Root Cultivators succeeded in Foundation Establishment, how did they achieve it?"

Zhou Changwang couldn’t help but ask.

This was also his biggest uncertainty after advancing to Qi Refining Fourth Layer.

Even with his Perfection Level Five Elements Technique, the amount of Spiritual Power gained after daily cultivation is very little.

Now, nearly ten days have passed, and his cultivation level hasn’t increased by even a single point.

At this rate, when will he ever make another breakthrough?

"Do you know the difference between cultivation techniques?"

Shen Xinyue suddenly asked.

"Difference? What difference?"

Zhou Changwang shook his head.

Qian Xiaoyue, standing nearby, also showed a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"In fact, in the Cultivation Realm, there are two types of cultivation methods.

One is called Cultivation Method, and the other Combat Skill.

What is the Cultivation Method? It is a method that focuses solely on cultivation, only increasing one’s Qi Cultivation level.

The Spiritual Power cultivated using this method is often thicker, more balanced, and the cultivation speed is much faster.

The better the aptitude, the better the cultivation effects. Those legendary ’genius cultivators’ in the Cultivation Realm who reach the Ninth Layer within a few years or at most ten years mostly cultivate using this method.

However, this method has a flaw.

It has virtually no combat capability.

Even a Qi Cultivation First Layer Practitioner can pose a threat to them.

The Spiritual Power they cultivate is only useful for increasing their own cultivation level.

Generally, cultivators practicing the Cultivation Method do not deliberately spend time training in magic or refining Magical Artifacts.

They do not participate in any combat, focusing solely on increasing their cultivation as quickly as possible to reach the Peak of Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer and then successfully establish their Foundation.

It is the method chosen by the super geniuses of major sects and powers.

Hence, it is also often called ’Heaven’s Pride Method.’

Combat Skill, on the other hand, often possesses various attributes. The Spiritual Power is more destructive and requires a balance of practicing magic and refining Magical Artifacts to maintain one’s own safety.

It is also the method most cultivators choose to practice.

Of course, the corresponding cultivation speed is much slower."

"Cultivation Method? Combat Skill?

So, what we’re cultivating now is Combat Skill?"

Zhou Changwang found it easy to grasp the concept.

The so-called Cultivation Method is a technique that focuses solely on cultivation speed, a quick success method.

While Combat Skill requires a balance between cultivation and combat capability, naturally requiring more time and effort.

It’s difficult to quickly improve cultivation level in a short time.

"Sister, didn’t you just say that those practicing the Cultivation Method are super geniuses from major sects?

But if they cultivate the Cultivation Method and have no combat power, wouldn’t they easily perish?

If a genius dies, wouldn’t it be a pity?

Moreover, major sects have always valued strength. What use could those cultivators using the Cultivation Method have without combat power?"

Qian Xiaoyue also noticed the issue and hurriedly asked in confusion.

"Do you think those true geniuses care about the Qi Cultivation stage?

Qi Cultivation is merely a transitional phase.

In the Cultivation Realm, there has always been a saying that Foundation Establishment is the true beginning of cultivation.

Once they establish their Foundation, they will naturally switch to other techniques.

The secret techniques passed down in major sects can naturally boost their combat capability and strength rapidly."

Shen Xinyue smiled coldly as she spoke.
