"Cultivation aptitude cannot determine everything... Some people lack cultivation aptitude but possess the aptitude for body cultivation! A naturally weak constitution for cultivation does not mean there is no way out!"
Some collateral disciples mused, there was more than one path.
Some always believed that lagging cultivation aptitude meant a lifetime without hope, but that was not the case.
Of the three thousand Great Daos, every path could lead to enlightenment. If the path of spiritual energy was blocked, one could cultivate the physical body!
"No, haven't you noticed? Young Master Lin Xuan possesses powerful profound techniques. He must have obtained some fortuitous encounter left behind by a powerful expert."
"Otherwise, why would he have been so often bullied before?"
"Logically speaking, if body cultivation is so powerful, there would be no need for him to feign weakness, right?"
"The changes in him must have occurred recently."
"Not too long ago."
"And after obtaining the fortuitous encounter left by that powerful expert, Young Master Lin Xuan's aptitude must have changed!"
"Now, Young Master Lin Xuan might not be a weak constitution anymore, but very likely possesses the cultivation aptitude of a spiritual body."
Some collateral disciples speculated.
This world of cultivation already had a strict system for detecting cultivation aptitude.
Furthermore, cultivation aptitude was divided into five types: weak constitution, common constitution, spiritual body, divine body, and immortal body, representing the level of cultivation aptitude.
Among these, the weak constitution could barely cultivate at all. Even if they cultivated until death, they would find it difficult to reach the second layer of Meridian Condensation. Generally, after cultivating for twenty to thirty years and finally reaching the first layer of Meridian Condensation, these individuals would be representative.
Before Fang Ming transmigrated, the original Lin Xuan was such a person. If Fang Ming had not arrived, Lin Xuan might have had to wait until his late twenties or thirties to reach the first layer of Meridian Condensation and become a true cultivator.
After that, throughout his life, even when he was eighty or ninety years old and nearing death, it would be difficult for him to cultivate to the second layer of Meridian Condensation.
The common constitution was the physique of most people. This type of physique had a normal cultivation speed. Without fortuitous encounters, they generally could not enter the Dao Foundation realm and had little future.
However, it was far better than being unable to cultivate with a weak constitution. How much Lin Xuan, who could not break through to the first layer of Meridian Condensation no matter what, wished he had the aptitude of a normal person.
Yet, different individuals, even within the scope of a common constitution, had varying aptitudes. Just like Lin Zhuyu, although she had a common constitution, she was at the bottom of the common constitution category, possessing only the cultivation of the first layer of Meridian Condensation.
As for ordinary collateral disciples and direct descendants, although they also had common constitutions, their aptitude was several levels higher than Lin Zhuyu's. At the same age, they had already cultivated to the third or fourth layer of Meridian Condensation.
Like Lin Yang, who had cultivated both spiritual and physical techniques to the fifth layer of Meridian Condensation, he still fell within the range of common constitution aptitude and was not considered a spiritual body.
A true spiritual body symbolized the hope of reaching the Dao Foundation realm. In a small family like the Lin family, a spiritual body could already be called a genius.
Such individuals were rare in the Lin family. For example, Lin Yao, the son of the Second Elder, who allowed servants to bully Lin Xuan, was a spiritual body with a cultivation of the seventh layer of Meridian Condensation through dual cultivation of spiritual and physical techniques.
He was someone who, without particularly diligent cultivation, had reached such a realm at a young age.
As for the higher levels of divine body and immortal body, how powerful they were and how rapid their cultivation speed would be, was not something a small family like the Lin family could know.
They only vaguely understood that the so-called immortal body aptitude represented the hope of becoming an immortal and ascending to the heavens.
Aptitude was determined by birth and could not be altered even by Nascent Soul realm great cultivators. Only extremely precious elixirs, combined with secret supreme techniques and true incantations, were rumored to be able to enhance aptitude.
Such elixirs were collected by great cultivators to further improve the aptitude of their geniuses.
The Lin family, being a small family, did not possess such elixirs.
However, since ancient times, the Great World of Jiuzhou had produced many exceptional individuals, and there were quite a few cultivators who had ascended. It was not a situation where not a single person ascended in millions of years.
Nascent Soul realm great cultivators might be somewhat rare in the current era, but in the history of this world spanning millions or tens of millions of years, they were not uncommon.
Among them, there were naturally great cultivators who left behind cave mansion inheritances.
Just like the stories of falling off cliffs and obtaining treasures, this world had never lacked those who obtained cave mansion inheritances from great cultivators since ancient times.
Fang Ming's current performance had already led some people to suspect that this was the case in their minds.
Hearing everyone respectfully address him as Young Master Lin Xuan, instead of the previous "waste," Fang Ming felt a pang in his heart, recalling the memories of the original Lin Xuan.
"This is the cultivation world. Once you become powerful, those who looked down on you before will respect and admire you."
"The law of the jungle, the strong are respected, this is the iron rule of the cultivation world!"
"My path is still very long, very far!"
Fang Ming's path was indeed very long.
What was the true nature of his world-traveling talent, Fang Ming had not yet understood.
Why did he suddenly transition from physical transmigration to soul transmigration? What was most frustrating was that even after soul transmigration and changing identities, his physical strength remained unchanged.
All these circumstances left Fang Ming very puzzled about the essence of this world-traveling talent.
He knew that on the path to investigating the essence of his world-traveling talent, he still had a long way to go.
Moreover... he had been transmigrated here before he could deliver the spiritual rice for his spiritual farmer identity in World One, and he could not return for the time being.
He had no idea what the situation was like over there now.
How would Steward Liu treat him after discovering he had been missing for one or two years?
He probably thought he was dead throughout the entire Baiyun Sect!
It was likely that even if he could return to this world, he wouldn't be able to, as he couldn't explain all that he had encountered.
Fang Ming did not want the elders or protectors of the Baiyun Sect to search his soul.
Therefore, even if he returned, he would have to escape the coverage of the Baiyun Sect's mountain-protecting formation and never return to the Baiyun Sect.
It was just a pity that after the "Yi Qi Gong," the "Yun Hai Gong" and "Tai Gu Yi Qi Gong" were no longer attainable.
For future cultivation, he would have to go to other sects in World One to see if he could obtain other cultivation techniques from World One, or else he would have to follow the path of Dao Foundation, Golden Core, and Nascent Soul in this World Five, and even ascend to the immortal realm in World Five.
As for World Two, the zombie world, Fang Ming always felt there was something hidden behind the outbreak and leakage of the virus.
He hadn't felt this way before, but after arriving in this World Five of cultivation, Fang Ming felt as if he had escaped something and could recall some details.
That zombie world was probably not that simple.
He wondered if that expanse of cosmic starry sky was real, or just a backdrop.
