In the initial stages, perseverance is required to enhance cultivation, but once one reaches the middle stages, abundant resources and inheritance are needed for breakthroughs in realm; in the final stages when bottlenecks are encountered, what matters most is the accumulation of daily experiences and talent.
Therefore, attempting to break through bottlenecks through crooked and evil paths is absolutely hopeless in Grandpa Ju's view.
A prime example is Tian Anyu, the Sect Hierarch of the Devouring Spirit Sect, who in this era still wishes to pursue the Heartless Path. Even Chen Hua, who is so powerful, sticks to the Sword Dao - you, a mere loser, still wish to overtake on a bend?
Grandpa here lays down the words; if that person advances to the Tenth Realm, I will livestream myself eating crap!
"So, emotional completeness is also extremely important for a cultivator?"
Everyone looked pensive; no one present was a weakling or a fool, they all understood the importance of emotional completeness from just a few words of Grandpa Ju.
The Human Race is born with the capacity for complex emotions, so the issue of emotional completeness is never considered.
But since the Heavenly Dao is inherently heartless and emotionless, many cultivators blindly believe that the Heartless Path of complete detachment will aid them in reaching that realm, and bizarrely derive various other paths as well.
The paths of heartlessness, detachment, or slaughter all originated in this manner.
But, the Heavenly Dao was merely born without emotions; even if the Heavenly Dao wants to break through in the Tenth Realm today, it must compensate for its deficiencies by nature.
Thus, a complete great world was born!
Using a great world to foster all life, while allowing itself to become stronger, the Heavenly Dao also observes the myriad states of the world, especially the emotions and experiences of the Human Race, hoping to someday compensate for its own deficiencies in nature.
"Being heartless does not lead to the ultimate path, do you think it's important?"
Grandpa Ju rolled his eyes.
"So, the Human Race truly is a uniquely blessed race, unlike other races which all have to go through spirit opening or transformation stages to develop emotions; the Human Race does not need to."
Grandpa Ju spread his hands, his face full of envy.
The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, the White Tiger, and Yue Bai remained silent, being pure members of the Demon Clan, Innate Divine Beasts, or hybrids of humans and demons, but all undoubtedly possessed complete emotions.
Among the Demon Clan, there are countless types of demons, animals, plants, ores, spiritual objects, which must undergo spirit opening or transformation to become demons.
The Grand Saint of Nine Spirits wasn't sure when this custom started, but subconsciously believed it was a habit developed after the Human Race dominated the continent.
Apart from the innate nature of the Demon Clan to worship the strong, he also thought it was a better way to communicate with the Human Race, never realizing it implied this principle.
The Mystical Mechanism Divine Stone, inherently an Innate Divine Artifact, is at the pinnacle of the Ninth Realm from the moment of its birth. But even such a Divine Artifact has been trapped in the Tenth Realm for many epochs, precisely due to the unfulfilled deficiency in the innate nature of emotions.
Yet the weak Human Race, fragile to the extreme upon birth, possesses limitless potential for growth.
"This really is an unexpected joy..."
Interest gleamed in Chen Hua's eyes; this point may still be too early for the younger generation, but for cultivators like him who aspire to break through to the Tenth Realm, this is of great value.
"But how come you mentioned the Abyss has already developed a spirit? Is it also from observing humans over an extended time?"
Liang Yi was a bit perplexed. In terms of peeping duration, shouldn't the Heavenly Dao have been observing longer than the Abyss Will? Why then did the Abyss Will develop a spirit first?
This question of Liang Yi resonated with everyone, as they also found it puzzling.
Grandpa Ju's face darkened slightly because he had never attempted that method before.
But considering previous events, it seemed that the only method that could make the Abyss Will develop a spirit so quickly appeared to be that method.
"I think the way the Abyss Will developed a spirit might not have been conventional..."
Grandpa Ju exhaled and slowly addressed the crowd.
