Extra's Strategy: Cultivate Protagonists, Become Invincible

"The most important part of Mystic Art cultivation is enhancing your foundation tower. Think of cultivation as a building under construction.

"First and foremost, the base, or in other words, the foundation, must be built properly, while keeping in mind that the rest of the building’s stability would depend on it.

"If you build a narrow, shallow foundation on a tiny land, maybe you can build one or two small rooms on it, which will be cramped and uncomfortable to use, shabby to look at, and dangerous to occupy. Not to mention, a shallow foundation will never allow you to build higher floors.

"If you forcibly do so, one tiny earthquake, one half-decent flood, or even mere passage of time can make it crumble! Similarly, for your foundation tower, such disasters can come in the form of spiritual attacks, qi deviations, and mental demons!"

"BOOM, the power you have cultivated throughout your life will be gone just like that. So if you are intelligent enough to understand this, you’ll definitely build a better foundation for your Mystic Arts.

"Now imagine a foundation covering more than a hundred square meters of land, delving more than a dozen meters underground to lay a firm footing for the building in the future.

"Even if you build a skyscraper with dozens of floors, your foundation can support the building. You’ll have many large rooms on each floor that are comfortable to live in. You can imagine these rooms as the potential of your cultivation techniques.

"Vertically, each block will represent the growth of your Mystic Art at each layer. The horizontal growth represents the multiplicity of your practice, equivalent to the number of Mystic Arts you cultivate and how distinct their domains are.

"Naturally, you must make sure to build sturdy, reliable rooms on the lower floors, which represent the beginning layers of your Mystic Arts. Otherwise, you risk losing a room on the ground floor, which would simply waste the entire foundation for that technique, thus destroying much of your potential.
