Infinite Professions

"Law Founder?"

"Borrowing Illusion for Cultivation?"

Shen Hex raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

This time, it was once again a Unique Advancement, with no other choices, directly advancing to become this Law Founder.

In Zhuang Zhou’s Dream of the Butterfly, he had cultivated over several lifetimes, embarking on three career paths: Martial Dao, Spirit Control, and Cultivation. However, instances of Unique Advancement were rare. The most memorable was in the Spirit Control Realm, where he uniquely advanced from [Spirit Control Martial Monarch] to [Celestial Destiny Saint Master].

Although Unique Advancement offers no choice, its purity makes it powerful, and the resulting professional quality often surpasses that of multiple advancements, thus it is a major pursuit for professionals.

Now...

Shen Hex looked at the professional panel.

"Law Founder: Advancing along the path of ancestors is certainly easy and convenient, but what you see is ultimately someone else’s scenery. In the moment of enlightenment, you deeply understand that only by pioneering your own path can you witness your own landscape.

You can gain an immense amount of experience through "creating laws," significantly enhancing the effectiveness of cultivating various techniques, and greatly enhancing the effect of cultivating self-created techniques. You can consume professional experience to integrate various techniques, discard the dross and select the essence, infer other things from one fact, and create new techniques."

"Professional Talent: Borrowing Illusion for Cultivation (When false becomes true, true becomes false, heaven and earth bear witness, and false can become real. The greater the impact of the Dharma Gate you create, and the more recognized it is, the stronger the effect of creating and subsequently refining techniques, even allowing you to directly turn illusion into reality, no matter how unrealistic it may seem.)"

"..."

Looking at the profession description of Law Founder, and the effect of Borrowing Illusion for Cultivation, Shen Hex fell into contemplation.

Creating laws!

Cultivation!

To be honest, the act of creating one’s own techniques is a thankless task for most people.

Not only does it require consuming a vast amount of time, energy, and resources, the final result may not be satisfactory.

Not to mention, for Shen Hex himself, the combination of the Karma Fire Three Calamities Blade and the Sacrificial Demon Slaying Sword, two Immortal Demon techniques, can his enlightenment of the "Demon Saber Dao Sword Darklight Technique" surpass them?

No!

The Darklight Saber Technique and Darklight Sword Technique are actually not stronger than the Karma Fire Three Calamities Blade and the Sacrificial Demon Slaying Sword. They, in fact, have many deficiencies that need to be completed.

The reason it appeared so powerful before was entirely due to the foundation of the Daoist Nascent Soul, as well as the effects of various professions and the exclusive characteristics of the Demon Saber Dao Sword.

Disregarding these factors, solely in terms of the power of the technique, the "Demon Saber Dao Sword Darklight Technique" created by Shen Hex is not stronger than the three major demonic skills of the Celestial Slaughter Demon Monarch: Myriad Dao, Devour Heaven, and Black Heaven.

This is to be expected!

Whether it’s the Karma Fire Three Calamities Blade, the Sacrificial Demon Slaying Sword, or other Immortal Magic Skills, these are the results of ancient immortals and demons working tirelessly, refining over millennia.

Even though Shen Hex has a professional cheat, endowed with various characteristic bonuses and the effect of "Krypton Life Enlightenment," he created his own Dharma Gate. Yet compared to the Dao Fruits of these immortals and demons, it still seems immature, with too many flaws and deficiencies needing improvement.

So, the Demon Saber Dao Sword Darklight Technique is actually not strong.

Not only his Demon Saber Dao Sword Technique, all self-created techniques are not considered strong in their initial creation stage, and can even be said to be a complete mess, requiring continual refinement and constant improvement to gradually become powerful and tend towards perfection.

Only some ignorant and fearless novices believe that creating one’s own techniques is something very noble.

In fact, it is neither high, nor monumental, nor powerful, and might not even suit oneself. Creating techniques blindly, finally leading to deviation and self-destructing, is not uncommon.

These are all drawbacks of creating one’s own techniques; in other words, they are riddled with disadvantages!

Does it have any advantages?

Yes!

The greatest advantage of creating one’s own techniques is its potential in the later stages.

Creating one’s own technique is treading one’s own path.

This path, though treacherous, with one misstep potentially leading to utter obliteration, still has countless cultivators forging ahead, risking their lives to carve out their own paths.

Why is this?

Because its future is vast—it’s the only way to achieve "becoming one with the Dao."

Based on Shen Hex’s observations in the real world, as well as some insights in the Taiyuan Heaven and Earth, if a cultivator only practices the techniques of predecessors, only walks the path of predecessors, reaching the Twelfth Rank True Immortal Realm is the limit, with no hope of the realm above True Immortal.

This is also why there are so many ancient legacies and Immortal Demon Skills in the Taiyuan Realm.

Those ancient Immortals and Demons are all crafting their own paths, attempting to progress further.

But those are the ancient Immortals and Demons!

The Venerable Immortal Demon, immortal and deathless, also commands the heavens and earth.

Therefore, they have ample time, energy, resources, and the means to test their paths, creating their own methods and pioneering their way.

For the average cultivator, not reaching this realm yet attempting to create their own Daoist technique is no different than an ant trying to move a tree. It leads to nothing but wasted life, squandered time, and ends in futility.

But Shen Hex is not an average person.

With his Professional Power, he can first create laws.

This offers an advantage over accomplishing Immortal Demon status, then crafting techniques.

Because if you practice the techniques of predecessors, entering the Immortal Demon Realm thereby, then the imprint and trajectory of the predecessors’ Dharma Gates are deeply engraved in you, even becoming your cognition and instinct. It is difficult to negate them, overturn them, then create your own laws.

Consider a simple example: mathematics!

Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division—these are the methods of predecessors, and the basic methods.
