I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 284
Chapter 284: Chapter 250 The First Lesson of the Sword
Control Department 1
Since successfully establishing his Foundation in Longevity, Chen Mobai has devoted part of his energy to the Pure Yang Scroll.
After all, the cultivation techniques in the Tianhe realm, aren’t as detailed in the Foundation Building Realm as they are in the immortal sects.
If he wanted to advance from the early foundation stage to the mid-foundation stage, it would usually take about twenty years according to the experiences in the Tianhe realm.
Given that the breakthrough in the Longevity would take some time, and he still had pill toxicity in his system from the Foundation Building Pill he took during his foundation establishment, Chen Mobai spent most of his time after his foundation establishment on improving his understanding of the Pure Yang Scroll.
Under the vast knowledge of the Foundation Building Realm, he easily and thoroughly mastered the Qi Cultivation part of the Pure Yang Scroll.
However, his three yang bodies had not been fully established, so even though he reached the ninth-level of Qi Cultivation, he never tried to take the step into the foundation establishment stage.
Now, after returning from Red Sandstone City, Chen Mobai felt that both his cultivation level and spiritual power have reached perfection and he was ready to take that step.
So after he returned to the Dance Tool Dao Academy, he had Che Yucheng sign a request to exchange books for the Pure Yang Foundation Building Scroll in the library.
However, although Che Yucheng signed the request, he proposed an intriguing suggestion.
“You’re at the Foundation stage already, so you won’t be called up for war unless it’s a major conflict. You have enough time to cultivate. Why not try to establish your Foundation through enlightenment?”
Establishing one’s foundation through enlightenment!
This was the original method of foundation establishment. In the absence of foundation building pills and other auxiliary items, ancient cultivators listen to the rhythm of nature, resonate with the elemental energy of heavens and earth, and connect their divine sense to the pulsation of the Dao, creating a perfect foundation.
It’s said that this method of building a foundation has unexpected benefits.
As for what these benefits are, they aren’t recorded in the Tianhe realm.
But there is plenty of information about it in the Immortal sects.
Some managed to elevate a common technique to almost a Rank-3 level during the process of foundation establishment.
Others received a kind of permission bestowed by Heaven and Earth, capable of entering any place with water — the unparalleled Water Escape.
Even more extraordinary cases managed to awaken the powerful bloodline of their ancestors, gaining invulnerability to fire and ice and indestructibility like a diamond. After advancing to the Gold Core stage, they even became capable of growing extra limbs, with a broad range of divine skills.
In summary, establishing the foundation through enlightenment definitely has its benefits.
However, the size of these benefits depends on the individual cultivator’s luck. Yet even the common ones offer a powerful method capable of being used until the Gold Dan Level for foundation establishment cultivators.
For other Qi Practitioners, unless they carry a heavenly spiritual root, they generally don’t push to establish their foundation through enlightenment, as it’s often unattainable.
But Chen Mobai is different; he has the conditions for it.
Since he was determined to use Bilateral Cultivation to increase the probability of reaching the Gold Dan stage, he was sure to cultivate the Longevity to perfection for his foundation establishment. Now that his pill toxicity had been cleansed by Kong Feichen’s medicine, he could continue advancement.
He planned to focus mainly on improving his level in the Longevity while also cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll, hoping to seize an opportunity one day to establish his foundation through enlightenment.
This was Che Yucheng’s suggestion. After listening, Chen Mobai found it very reasonable.
Whether the Pure Yang Scroll reaches foundation establishment or not wouldn’t affect his position in the Divine Wood Sect.
After all, he is portrayed as a sword cultivation prodigy.
However, Chen Mobai still spent two days reading through the Foundation Building part of the Pure Yang Scroll to get a clear understanding.
When the term started.
Forty-seven students from the Sword Control Department were led to the training field by their instructor.
Among the forty-seven, nineteen were freshmen and the rest were upperclassmen who signed up for the course to earn credits. Since they hadn’t taken the sword Control course before, they were all assigned to freshman classes to conserve educational resources.
“Good day to all the new students of the Sword Control Department, I am Zuo Gong.”
A square-faced man of average height stood at the front of the field. Standing beside him were three other individuals. This man was the head of the Sword Control Department, a Gold Core sword cultivator, the real Zuo Gong.
He greeted the twenty-seven new students with a gentle tone.
“As I am quite busy, courses for the first and second year students will be taught by your senior students.”
“The Assistant Professor of the Daoist Academy, Wu Shizheng, will be hosting the classes for third to sixth graders.”
“If there are any doubts that they can’t answer, you can come directly to the office and askme.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai was slightly surprised. He didn’t expect the Sword Control Department’s courses to be conducted in such a manner.
In the Puppet Lines Department, Che Yucheng personally took care of the classes for all ten grades.
But the total number of people in all ten grades of the Puppet Lines Department was probably just over a hundred, and after the seventh grade, it mainly revolved around self-study.
Hence, Che Yucheng could easily manage it all by himself.
The Sword Control Department was different. It’s one of the top three domains in the Dance Tool Dao Academy. With the influence of popular dramas, where the protagonists were often depicted as soaring swordsmen and incredibly cool.
Everyone wanted to be stylish, so even if they didn’t sign up for the Sword Control Department at first, many would choose to study here to acquire extra credits, when they’ve finished simple elective courses.
If they truly had a talent for sword training, they would continue their studies or even skip grades.
Because of these factors, Zuo Gong could not do as Che Yucheng did and take care of everything from start to finish by himself; hence, he had to come up with this method.
The senior students had the opportunity to review what they had learned by teaching, allowing them to truly understand the knowledge they had learned and make it their own.
