Or rather, that his talent was so low?
Thinking of Mr. Zhuang’s previous talk of the “Heavenly Dao” and “Divine Sense,” Mo Hua said,
“Then should I focus on cultivating my Divine Sense?”
Mr. Zhuang nodded and said, “Correct, since you can’t compete with others in terms of the physical body and spiritual root, then simply give up on competing in those areas and just focus on your Divine Sense instead.”
“Your physical body and spiritual root are weaker than you think, but your Divine Sense is actually stronger than you think.”
Mr. Zhuang looked at Mo Hua and thought to himself, “It might even be much stronger than I imagine…”
Mo Hua, unaware of Mr. Zhuang’s thoughts and still somewhat fixated on the natural talents of his physical body and spiritual root, asked,
“Then can my physical and spiritual root issues be improved?”
Mr. Zhuang shook his head slightly and said,
“Physical weakness is an innate issue, it can be improved, but no matter how much it’s improved, it won’t change the fundamental nature. At most, after improvement, the body wouldn’t be so weak, but it also won’t become much stronger. It cannot compare with cultivators born with innate body refinement capabilities.”
“As for the spiritual root, it’s predetermined at birth. Whatever spiritual root you’re born with, you’ll have for life. It can’t be changed, and if it’s inferior to others’, then it’s inferior, and there’s no other remedy.”
“So, I should focus on what I’m strong at and avoid my weaknesses, is that it?” Mo Hua said.
Mr. Zhuang nodded, “Divine Sense, spiritual power, and physical body are the foundations of a cultivator’s cultivation. These three are indispensable, but the path of the Heavenly Dao is harsh, and a person’s innate abilities are limited. Ultimately, it’s impossible to excel in everything. In Tao cultivation, you don’t need to be stronger than others in every aspect, just being profound in one aspect is good.”
Mo Hua nodded, feeling like his mind had suddenly cleared, and then curiously said,
“Then, are there people who excel in all aspects?”
Mr. Zhuang fell silent for a moment, then slowly said, “There are, but such individuals with heaven-defying talents are as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Even when looking across the entire Tao Cultivation World, they are peerless geniuses that come once in a thousand years!”
Mo Hua felt a bit envious, but then thought better of it.
Without even thinking about it, he knew that cultivating Divine Sense, spiritual power, and physical body all at once would require a profound Tao cultivation legacy, vast resources of spirit stones, and extremely precious Heaven and Earth spiritual items for sustenance.
Even if he possessed such peerless genius, without the legacy and resources, he would be a pearl covered in dust, wasting his talents.
One shouldn’t be too greedy; cultivating his Divine Sense was good enough for him.
But if he were to focus on cultivating Divine Sense, could he really aspire to the Great Dao? Moreover, he seemed not to have heard any cultivators focusing solely on Divine Sense.
After thinking for a while, Mo Hua asked, “Gentleman, are there other cultivators who focus on Divine Sense?”
“Very few.”
“How few?”
Mr. Zhuang said, “Normal cultivators wouldn’t cultivate Divine Sense.”
Mo Hua was stunned, feeling conflicted. Did that mean he was an “abnormal” cultivator…
Mr. Zhuang smiled a bit, “The strength of the physical body and spiritual power are obvious, while the strength of Divine Sense is subtle and, being abstract, hard to grasp. Besides some Formation Masters who, due to the needs of Formation techniques, must possess a strong Divine Sense and thereby have no choice but to focus on it, other cultivators seldom choose this path.”
“I see…” Mo Hua sighed softly.
Mr. Zhuang’s gaze became intense, “But you are different. With an inherently weak body and ordinary spiritual root, Divine Sense is almost your sole advantage, and it’s far too strong…”
“If that is the case, then cultivate your Divine Sense to the extreme, to a level so profound that other cultivators can only look on from a distance and even behold it with awe…”
Gazing at the small figure of Mo Hua, Mr. Zhuang said with a far-reaching look,
“As long as you cultivate your Divine Sense strong enough, one day, you will be able to prove the Dao with Divine Sense, and with Supreme Divine Sense, you will glimpse The True Meaning of the Dao!”
