Chapter 588 - 539 Surprise Three_2
The Snow Lotus Flower Language doubled his comprehension, allowing him to gain faint insights unconsciously as he read the brief annotations alone, deepening his understanding of the two paths, the Thousand Face Sword Canon and the Yin Canon.
’The Thousand Face Sword Canon prioritizes the cultivation of the spirit, everything is for strengthening one’s own spirit to serve, with the ultimate goal of collecting external consciousness and will, and transforming it into one’s own power. This is the Slaughter Technique.’
’The Yin Canon, on the other hand, is the method for longevity. In the True Fire Realm, it focuses on turning oneself into a furnace, a path that involves burning others to enlighten oneself and all beings. The self as a furnace is also a flexible and reinforcing structure, undoubtedly more adaptable to varying circumstances than the previous Thousand Face Sword Canon. Depending on what situation arises, burn whatever can resolve the problem at hand, and then produce different types of True Fire to overcome the difficulties. Compared to the Faceless Sword Sect, it is clearly more extensive and on a higher level.’
This was the difference between responding to change with immutability and adapting to change with change.
’Nothing in the world is unchanging, all beings are like this, and so am I.’ A patriarch from Tian Ju Pavilion, Daoist Huo Qing, wrote this in the Yin Canon.
’Makes sense... However, despite its higher conception, the techniques from Tian Ju Pavilion do consume a lot more external resources and can easily provoke widespread anger. If you burn others, naturally they will be infuriated and resist... In comparison, the Thousand Face Sword Canon is much more resource-efficient and covert. All it takes is to observe the will of others, and then the Primordial Spirit Sword can change... Elevate the realm, and condense the Primordial Spirit Seal.’
Li Chengyi weighed his options internally.
The Thousand Face Sword Canon wasn’t picky about external resources, but the Yin Canon from Tian Ju Pavilion was resource-intensive and could easily backfire.
He had made up his mind.
After a few minutes of contemplation, he decided to cultivate both!
After all, the two methods were not in conflict, as long as there were enough Origin Seals to condense, they could be practiced together.
