Book 2: Chapter 7.2: Mother Earth Is Just Your Weapon

Bai Qiuran looked for a clean stone on the top of the mountain and sat down. He poured his Qi into the ground while saying to Tang Ruowei:

“Ruowei, how much do you understand about cultivation stages and spiritual roots?”

“I just heard the name of some stage, the martial arts master is equivalent to the monk in the Qi Refining stage, and then the next will be Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, etc…”

Tang Ruowei replied honestly, looking particularly well-behaved.

“As for spiritual roots, I only know the five elements.”

“Heaven and earth naturally come down from the chaos, and living beings also evolve from it. In all the living beings, there are small heaven and earth composed of blood, bones, muscles, internal organs, and meridians. They correspond to the world. The nature of cultivation is to absorb the vitality from the outer world to evolve the inner world and make living beings break through the limit of life and death, live as we like and even break the restraints from this world. ”

Bai Qiuran said while changing the terrain:

“And spiritual root represents the degree of conformity of a person to the rules of the world.”

“That is to say, a person’s spiritual root does not determine everything.”

Tang Ruowei was also a very clever girl and immediately understood Bai Qiuran’s intention of saying so.

“People who don’t have a spiritual root just have a low degree of conformity, but it doesn’t mean they don’t have access to the rules of the world.”

“Yes, so I warned you and the other child who has Heavenly-level Spiritual Root: don’t be proud of the spirit root attribute. Jue Yunzi, when he started his cultivation, was an ordinary disciple with no qualified spiritual root. What’s more, there is something called Heaven-Mending Pill in this world that can improve a person’s conformity with certain attributes. ”

Bai Qiuran replied:

“Furthermore, there are countless rules in the world. Even for so many years, people in the cultivation world have searched, but they haven’t figured out all the rules. The five elements are only because the first people could only measure the limited rules between heaven and earth categorized into five types. In fact, recently, the cultivation world has already discovered many spiritual roots of other attributes, such as thunder, poison, wind, etc. Although I rely on Heaven-Mending Pill to complete all the spiritual root attributes that I know today, there must be rules and truths in this world that I don’t know, and I have been trying to find out. ”

Tang Ruowei could only hear.

“It’s a long way to go. In short, the reason for saying these things is that you don’t take pride in your talents. It is the principle of the righteous cultivator to abstain from arrogance and impatientness.”

Bai Qiuran continued:

“The second thing is … I want you to see the truth through phenomena. The division of the stage of cultivation is mostly based on the degree to which a person perceives and understands the internal and external world. For example, the Nascent Soul stage means you from another self in your body. The soul and the physical body interact with each other. As for the attributes of the spiritual root, take your Earth spiritual root as an example. What are the magical powers that you can achieve after the cultivation? ”

“This one…”

Tang Ruowei thought of the scene when Bai Qiuran was carrying a mountain back that night:

“Moving mountains and filling up the sea? Manipulating earth and rock?”

“That’s just the phenomena.”

Bai Qiuran raised a hand.

“The rule that the Earth element really represent is the gravitational force. Pay attention.”

He released his Qi and made some hand seals. Tang Ruowei suddenly felt the mountain swaying. The vast earth beneath the mountain turned like an ocean wave, and the endless earth and rock swelled again, as if there were countless dragons within the earth were converging towards the mountain where they stood.

“Whether it is earth, rocks, mountains, or vessels hidden in the earth, these are divided into the nature of the earth by the ancestors, and as long as the gravity that affects all things is manipulated, you can freely manipulate everything. Why can’t people fly freely into the sky and why objects fall without external forces? These are the fundamental forces of this Earth element.”

After shaking the mountain for several seconds, Bai Qiuran lowered his palm. At this time, Tang Ruowei noticed that the energy of the mountain peak seemed to be more gentle and close to her.

“This exercise I readily write… no, I specially design for you is characterized by focusing on controlling this force.”

Bai Qiuran looked directly at Tang Ruowei and said:

“Through training to a high level, you can freely manipulate gravity. At that time, Mother Earth is just a weapon in your palm …”

“Oh.”

Tang Ruowei showed her fascination and asked curiously:

“So Master, what is the rule represented by the other four elements?”

“The other elements?”

After thinking about it, Bai Qiuran answered:

“Metal is the way of change, the force of change and progress; Fire is the release of energy, which represents the process of exotherm; Water is the change of temperature, the change of material state; Wood which that I first studied represents the evolution and extension of life. If you are interested, in the future, I can also teach you other elements, but you have to go step by step, you still have to practice what I gave you first. ”

Bai Qiuran handed Tang Ruowei a scroll thicker than the body-forging technique.

“This exercise is summed up by using the Earth exercises and techniques I have learned in the past three thousand years. The only shortcoming of it is the weakness in the early stage because your cultivation is limited, so the gravity that can be manipulated is insufficient. It is difficult to have any impact on other things, and the combat ability is limited, but this situation will improve after you reach the Foundation Establishment stage and have a flying s… ”

Having said that, he hesitated.

“But the only question is, Ruowei, can you really reach the Foundation Establishment stage when you practice my exercises now?”
