Chapter 173: I Wish The Both Of You Happiness!
Cultivation was not just to increase one’s strength but also their mental fortitude. Thus, the importance of cultivating one’s mental fortitude went without saying.
Be it Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, or Golden Core, they were all cultivation realms inclined to one’s strength. However, after the Nascent Soul stage, the cultivation of one’s mental fortitude became even more important—one had to experience the mortal world to train their mind.
If the cultivator firmly believed in their own Dao, they would naturally be able to advance by leaps and bounds in the road of cultivation, improving greatly in a short period. However, if one started to doubt the Dao they had chosen, then mental demons would be easily formed and result in serious injuries.
One’s Dao need not be of the Five Elements or Yin Yang. It could be something minor, such as the Dao of musical instruments, painting and calligraphy, or even the Dao of admiration toward powerful beings.
Rumors said that there had been a peerless emperor in the ancient period that had created the Heavenly Courts, unified the five regions, and had endless territory. That emperor had been invincible, and his believers had also advanced triumphantly in the road of cultivation.
In the end, there were even rumors that the emperor had brought all his followers to ascend to the Infinite Immortal Domain and begun a war.
Meanwhile, this legend, which was unknown whether it was true or fake, had also become a classic example of "When a man gets to the top, all his friends and relations get there with him."
Thus, many cultivators in the cultivation world knew their aptitude was limited, so they would not insist on taking the invincible Dao. Instead, they would follow those that were more powerful. As long as they were firm that their choice was correct, they could form their own Dao.
Of course, in theory, Saints and Saintesses would not choose this road as the sacred grounds had their pride.
The Saint/Saintess of any sacred ground was the most powerful genius in the 100 years of the sacred ground, representing its reputation.
They could choose any Dao to compete with other talents in the world, but only the Dao of being a follower was a taboo.
Naturally, since Big Dipper’s Saint, Chen Zhongtian, had chosen to follow the Purple Mansion’s Saint, the Big Dipper Sacred Ground had lost face. Even if the Purple Mansion’s Saint had the Thearch’s talents, the Big Dipper Sacred Ground was still unwilling.
As such, numerous people from the Big Dipper had been demanding to replace their current Saint. Nonetheless, Chen Zhongtian was powerful while the genius Qi Shaoxuan’s light was too blinding, suppressing the idle chatter.
Even so, Chen Zhongtian was still upset that people were gossiping and speaking behind his back. He had convinced himself repeatedly that Qi Shaoxuan was a rare genius that could only be found once in 10,000 years in the Eastern Wilderness!
Senior Brother Shaoxuan is unique! He will definitely become a Sage in the future!
My choice proves that I, Chen Zhongtian, truly have discerning eyes that can tell greatness from mediocrity!
Only then did he forcibly stabilize his Dao Heart.
...
By continuing to apotheosize the Purple Mansion’s Saint, Chen Zhongtian could continue to follow him without regrets. His belief was very firm, and the fact that Qi Shaoxuan was also generous, sharing lots of his fortuitous opportunities’ gains, strengthened it.
