Chapter 67: Distinguishing Cultivators

Hearing the black stone’s words, Li Ming felt rather helpless
The Imperial Finger required something that the current Li Ming simply did not have.
At the very least, in Li Ming’s heart, he did not want to look down on the world. What he wanted wished for was but stable cultivation.
He did not feel it necessary to compete with others.
It seemed that, for the moment, he could only choose to cultivate this Great Sun Heaven-Overturning Seal.
“This Great Sun Heaven-Overturning Seal is perfect for your dual cultivation of both body and qi. It is one of the most suitable magical arts for you to practice at the moment.”
“You can check it yourself.”
After the black stone said that, it stopped talking.
Li Ming was sizing up the Great Sun Heaven-Overturning Seal.
It was a palm technique for body cultivators and also a magical art for qi cultivators. It was indeed very compatible with his dual cultivation of body and qi.
Moreover, the power of a mystic-tier magical art was naturally not something that could be ignored.
After familiarizing himself with it, Li Ming began practicing it.
With the many entries he had for both body and qi cultivation, learning this technique turned out to actually be quite easy for Li Ming. Due to his entries, he did not have much trouble learning techniques for either body or qi cultivation.
From the perspective of body cultivation, this technique was used to temper one’s palm until it could wield a might that could overturn the heavens! This was a direct interpretation of a heaven-overturning seal.
It was like a martial skill.
On the other hand, from the perspective of qi cultivation, this technique would have the user condense explosive spiritual qi at their palm, which would then turn into a long-range attack.
In reality, the only difference between the body cultivation and qi cultivation aspects of the technique was that one was for close-range while the other was for long-range.
The Great Sun Heaven-Overturning Seal combined the two forms together.
After circulating the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art for one cycle, all the muscles and bones in Li Ming’s body became active. He could now begin practicing the Great Sun Heaven-Overturning Seal!
He raised his arms, and then waved his arms and palms according to the magical art.
Each of his movements seemed slow, but in reality, he was constantly accumulating strength!
Li Ming got a distinct feeling when he was trying out the technique.
With the support of his various entries, Li Ming’s learning speed was fast, and he could comprehend new techniques very quickly.
Despite it having only been his first attempt, Li Ming had already gotten an understanding of how the Great Sun Heaven-Overturning Seal was condensed.
The purpose of the slow movements at the start of the technique was to guide a huge amount of power from throughout his body into his palm bit by bit!
It was like a network of rivers flowing into the sea!
However, the sea was limited and not infinitely wide.
Regardless, an astonishing power gathered at his palm!
The power gathered was extracted from every inch of Li Ming’s body and even from his foundation establishment stone platform. It could be said that every inch of Li Ming’s power was gathered in one area!
Golden crow true fire erupted from his palm!
Then, an extremely powerful force emerged!
Li Ming aimed at the mountain in front of him and extended his hand toward
A palm print condensed from golden flames instantly shot out!
Boom!
With a loud bang, the palm print instantly penetrated the mountain. Everything that was in the palm print’s way was destroyed, leaving only charred marks!
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the palm print was formed by numerous small seals!
Although he had succeeded in using the technique on his first try, it was obvious that he would not have all that time to channel the technique in battle.
As such, he knew that what he needed to do next was to repeatedly hone and practice the technique.
It was only by repeatedly practicing it that he could truly master it.
Eventually, he should be able to easily use it and control it.
No matter how talented a person was, repetitive practice was the best and most direct way to master any technique.
This was the most basic rule that Li Ming had adhered to ever since he started cultivating his body.
Body cultivation required a cultivator to go through thousands of tempering to achieve perfection.
As the saying went, ten years of work offstage all for one minute on stage.
If one wanted to win in battle and protect their own life, they needed to work hard every day!
Li Ming obviously did not lack these things.
After a few rounds of practice and repeated tempering, Li Ming had completely mastered the Great Sun Heaven-Overturning Seal with the help of his entries!
With the help of the entries, Li Ming’s talent had undergone a huge change. At the same time, his cultivation had become extremely smooth.
With the help of the entries, Li Ming went from a good-for-nothing to a genius!
After learning the Great Sun Heaven-Overturning Seal, Li Ming immediately set his eyes on refining his natal magical treasure.
From when he began cultivating to now, Li Ming had actually grinded a
considerable number of entries.
Furthermore, he had all kinds of weapon-related entries, so Li Ming clearly had many choices when it came to choosing what kind of magical treasure to refine.
However, what kind of magical treasure would be able to make best use of his dual cultivating property?
For body cultivation, he could choose from all kinds of melee weapons.
As for defense, it was something that Li Ming was actually not considering too much at the moment.
Although he was only at the third level of the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art, that had already improved the quality of his body significantly.
Furthermore, there had never been any body cultivation foundation establishment cultivators.
When compared with qi cultivation foundation establishment cultivators, Li Ming’s physical body completely crushed them!
These were the benefits provided by the body cultivation foundation establishment realm.
From the point of view of qi cultivators, magical treasures should naturally focus on functionality, and defense would obviously be their first choice.
“Brat, are you in the middle of choosing what your natal magical treasure should be?”
“Well, your situation is indeed a bit special. You cultivate both your body and qi, making your situation very different from qi cultivators.”
“However, looking at you, you seem to have no idea how the world of cultivation is divided, right?”
The black stone’s voice rang out loud once again. Hearing this, Li Ming became curious.
He had heard about some of this stuff before, but not much.
There was no clear distinction between cultivators in the qi cultivation foundation establishment realm.
“In the cultivation world, in the entire continent, including some places that you have been to, there are different types of cultivators.”
“They are mainly divided into two categories, sword cultivators and spirit cultivators.”
“Among them, those who cultivate the body can be sword cultivators or spirit cultivators. In both cases, they cultivate qi, they only choose one category over the other depending on their proficiency or affinity with them.”
Hearing the black stone’s explanation, Li Ming began wondering.
Only after reaching the core formation realm and entering the golden core realm would there truly be a clear division.
“However, this is for others. For you, there is no such fine distinction.”
“But among the two, the sword cultivation direction is clearly the most suitable for you.”
The black stone’s suggestion gave Li Ming some ideas.
Although he was a body cultivator, this did not mean that he needed to fight barehanded.
After all, the further he advanced in cultivation, the more trouble he would have in getting close to his opponent.
The limitations of the physical body on its own were extremely huge.
Currently, he only had thirteen levels for the Golden Crow Body Tempering Art.
Once he completed it, if he did not find the complete Golden Crow Body Tempering Art, Li Ming’s future path in body cultivation would become uncertain.
Therefore, he was not sure if he could continue to break through the limitations of his physical body.
It seemed that sword cultivation was indeed the most suitable and convenient for him.
A sword could be used for close combat, as well as long-ranged combat.
The so-called division was just to make it easier to distinguish the outstanding points of certain cultivators..
