That sounds familiar... I remember now, it’s little Ba. It’s been so long, why have you grown so thin?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, you still remember me. I have already grown old, yet you remain as graceful as ever!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ba Lie laughed loudly and began to chat about daily life, occasionally offering a few compliments, which put the Book Mountain Tai Sui in a great mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve brought a newcomer again, let me see... Tsk, remarkable, an A-plus evaluation. It seems the last one who came with an A-plus became a remarkable figure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Book Mountain Tai Sui looked at Jiang Yan and the credentials beside him, a flash of surprise in its single eye, its gaze nostalgic, before it said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the headquarters has already agreed, there is no need to waste time on the first and second levels. Go directly to the third level; that is where all the top-tier foundational cultivation methods are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, its belly opened, and a large number of books transformed into birds, constructing a staircase that led directly to its heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many thanks, Tai Sui!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ba Lie expressed his thanks and took Jiang Yan inside, speaking as they walked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Book Mountain Tai Sui is a special Disease Domain discovered by the Jiangnan Province headquarters within a Disease Domain. It merged with the spirit of a Tai Sui and accidentally gained sentience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It has a gentle personality and is naturally fond of books and all kinds of knowledge, using them as food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, after the headquarters discovered it, they reached a contract with it, hiring it as a guest advisor to help store the originals of various extraordinary books, while it is free to read them. It is a very good elder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan’s gaze was surprised; he had not expected a Disease Domain to also be able to become a sentient being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world is vast, and truly, there is nothing that does not exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the interior of the Book Mountain Tai Sui, what met his eyes were countless books, arranged in a spiral, with no end in sight at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A true... mountain of books and sea of knowledge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Ba Lie, this place collected the spell techniques and cultivation methods obtained by generations of history walkers in Jiangnan Province from Disease Domains, including accumulations from previous dynasties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the benefit of joining the official organization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If left outside, how would you ever get the chance to choose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ba Lie handed over a white tablet; it felt a bit like Tai Sui flesh to the touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jiang Yan’s surprised gaze, Ba Lie explained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although the Book Mountain Tai Sui has always been on the edge of the Old Days, it also keeps pace with the times. Technology is also a form of knowledge, so it has categorized all the books, recorded them inside, and written summaries for them. Just search according to your needs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Ba Lie leaned in and whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A newcomer has a total of three chances to choose. Even if the cultivation method you choose the first time is successful, I suggest you choose two more. Not only can they serve as references, but it also prevents others from knowing what you are cultivating. Don't even tell me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan actually already had the answer in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the Heart Ape bloodline he had just obtained mentioned that it could prey on life forms of the [Subhuti] path to increase its own cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King of Deceit Beasts wanted to swallow the Heart Ape, but was raised like a pig by the Heart Ape, and in the end, he accidentally intercepted the prize.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So... do other paths exist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, diseased creatures in Disease Domains can precipitate historical relics and abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, will history walkers who have plundered their abilities also precipitate extraordinary traits?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ba Lie explained earnestly: \"Originally, I should have waited until you reached the Dao Foundation to talk about this, but with your talent, it is a certainty, so telling you in advance does no harm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After opening the spirit and advancing to the Dao Foundation, one condenses their own Dao Foundation based on their own cultivation method, foundation, and attributes, divided by the Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and Ten Heavenly Stems.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Metal is Geng and Xin, Wood is divided into Jia and Yi, Water is divided into Ren and Gui, Fire is divided into Bing and Ding, and Earth is divided into Wu and Ji, corresponding to the two sides of Yin and Yang of all things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For example, Jia Wood can cultivate the [Tree Sea Kui Ox Dao Foundation], follow the [Wood Kui Ox] path, plant a Thunder Method seed, and possess unparalleled killing power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Wood has the [Heavenly Wind Soaring Dao Foundation], follows the [Red Dust Wind] path, plants a Soaring Heavenly Wind method seed, transforms the body into a breeze, and soars straight up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides these, there is the Wu Earth [Nine Nether Aurora Dao Foundation], the Geng Metal [Tai Bai Killing Dao Foundation], and so on. These are all representatives of top-tier cultivation methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, there are Dao Foundations born from the fusion of different Five Elements; the cultivation difficulty is high, but the rewards are also high.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Jiang Yan’s expression became increasingly solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ba Lie sighed: \"Each attribute is equivalent to a road that runs from the past to the present. History walkers need to walk against the current to the end, which is inevitably accompanied by layers of resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, human power is limited, so some people think of ways to eat the passersby coming from behind to increase their strength, thereby walking further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after devouring a Dao Foundation, the method seeds nurtured within can be seized, saving a lot of hard work. This is not without side effects; it will pollute oneself and increase the difficulty of breaking through realms, but some guys are already old... and can't wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To translate that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geniuses don't look down on it, but one must guard against some old, undying things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan raised a question: \"Then, will the one who has walked the furthest on this path also...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ba Lie shook his head: \"Not necessarily, because the greater the difference in strength, the weaker the effect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A weak effect is not the same as no effect...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan suddenly thought of the [Lamp-Lighting Fire Prison Chapter] on his body; it seems other parts are scattered elsewhere, which is very likely to become a hidden danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Associating this with the strange reaction of the King of Deceit Beasts when it saw the Ash Lamp, he couldn't help but suspect...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lamp-Lighting Buddha,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he really spread his own path out of kindness?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the Monkey King Temple instance, Jiang Yan’s state of mind transformed, and his emotions became increasingly indifferent, as if he had reached the Buddhist state of Chan meditation and the clarity of mind that comes from letting go of attachments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But is this really letting go?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or is it... being taken down?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All living things can be turned into candles, so what are practitioners?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lamp holders?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of various possibilities, Jiang Yan’s state of mind fluctuated, and he broke out in a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world is indeed full of traps everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the voice of the Book Mountain Tai Sui came:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Ba, don't always scare the children. Dao Foundations need to be distinguished; some look like they are controlling a gale, but are actually Ding Fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if cultivating the same method, it is not a matter of eating whenever one wants; one must be sufficiently matched to complement oneself, otherwise, it will only invite backlash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone like Jiang Yan, on the contrary, does not need to worry about being targeted. He is choosing a top-tier cultivation method; either it is an out-of-print remnant, requiring one to go to the River of History to open the corresponding mission to find the sequel, or the difficulty is too high, and it can accommodate at most a few people to cultivate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the number reaches the limit, it will be locked by karma, and the relevant inheritance will be invalid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if a big shot really succeeds in practicing it, they are far beyond the Old Record level. By the time they die, they might not even see a Method Seed realm practitioner. Eating a Dao Foundation to increase spiritual energy is not as much as they gain from a single breath.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan asked curiously: \"Then what happens if there is no sequel after practicing the remnant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you have practiced it, it is no longer you chasing it, but it coming to find you. Extraordinary things of the same origin will attract each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Book Mountain Tai Sui’s voice was gentle:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The River of History will anchor similar history for you. Unless you are truly unlucky, you will not stop moving forward. If it really doesn't work... you can still switch to cultivating a similar path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ba Lie interjected: \"Actually, compared to plundering Dao Foundations, what is more suitable for history walkers are the [Great Achievements] nurtured after the disease transformation of historical celebrities.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ve strayed too far; those are things that only Method Seed and Old Record levels need to consider. Jiang Yan, go and pick the cultivation method you like.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan nodded and opened the tablet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swiping casually, many profound classics appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Five Mountains True Form Qi-Absorbing Chapter (Top-tier):\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pros: Mountain and River Department path.
