Chapter 1054: Lesson

"What do you want me to do?" Zhang Liang looked at him, his face becoming serious as he asked.

"What to do?"

Su Fan shook his head and said: "I don't know. You are very good at preaching the Dao, aren't you? Just do it as you did before."

"And don't take it too seriously."

Spreading the Dao of Earth Deities, to tell the truth, Su Fan really didn't take it too seriously, although this is a technique created by Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi.

However, spreading the Dao of Earth Deities cannot be completed overnight.

Any Great Dao, spreading it is not so simple.

In the ancient era, when the Taiqing Saint preached the Golden Elixir Great Dao among the Human race, it was not completed overnight either.

That was a Saint preaching the Dao, and it was not easy.

Let alone them.

This Dao of Earth Deities is indeed very great, at least for bottom-level Dao practitioners, it is indeed very powerful.

Accepting new things is not so smooth.

Especially the Dao of Earth Deities, which cannot be seen immediately.

The Earthly Dao Technique and the mainstream Immortal Dao, not to say they are contrary, but there are quite a few differences.

Moreover, clearing earth veins is not something that can be done overnight. It requires extreme mental effort and time, and it is not necessarily possible to see much effect.

Su Fan tried it himself. Before, transforming a spirit land took him decades of time to transform a mountain forest into a spirit land.

Originally, that place had spirit veins, but the spirit veins were not very good. He used the spirit cave of that spirit vein as the foundation, set up an array, cleared the earth veins under the mountain forest, dredged the earth cave, and after decades of continuous transformation, finally succeeded.

This also cannot be separated from the Essence Refining Array, using the power of the stars to bless the earth veins.

Every one of these is not simple.

Whether it is clearing earth veins and earth caves, or setting up arrays, it takes a lot of energy to learn.

This is not something that can be learned in a short time.

Su Fan's array, placed in the Yuanyang Realm, has already exceeded the seventh grade.

Because of his powerful realm, setting up arrays was easy. He re-learned and set up the Star Essence Extraction Array improved by Zhenyuanzi, which was not very difficult.

But this does not mean that others can learn it quickly.

The array path, among the hundred arts of immortal cultivation in the main world, can be said to be the most difficult, just like in the later Earth, science, mathematics is probably the most difficult.

Without the blessing of arrays, although clearing earth veins can indeed optimize spirit lands, the effect I fear will also be greatly reduced, and the time I fear will also need to be longer to produce effects.

Of course, if some top-tier spirit lands are infected by fierce evil power, if one can clear the fierce evil power within, then restoring the spirit land will definitely be very fast.

However, wanting to clear such a place is even more difficult, especially clearing the fierce evil power within, which I fear is also the most difficult.

Because fierce evil power is also one of the most terrifying things for Dao practitioners. The spiritual qi required for Dao practitioners to cultivate is clear and spiritual qi.

And fierce evil power is not even earth turbid qi, but a kind of blood evil. This thing, unless it is the Demonic Dao specifically cultivated, other Dao practitioners who cultivate heterodox paths also dare not touch it.

The former can corrode magic power and even the primordial spirit. Once touched a little, the consequences are also unimaginable.

Therefore, clearing such spirit veins is naturally full of difficulties.

Even though the benefits of cultivating this Dao are many, it cannot be seen overnight.

Then, being able to accept it, I fear that for a while, it is not said that there will be a large batch.

Stubbornness, especially for Dao practitioners, they actually value more what they can see.

There are not a few people with foresight, but the vast majority of people, even if they are Dao practitioners who have cultivated for thousands of years, many of them still have many shortcomings.

It is not that many Dao practitioners have cultivated for thousands of years, and their wisdom is very powerful.

Wisdom is not born, but needs to be experienced, and grows after experiencing it again and again.

Truly born as if omniscient, it is also extremely rare.

Just like Zhang Liang, his wisdom in history is absolutely outstanding, and very few can compare with him. However, he was not able to reach the historical evaluation of the Three Heroes of the Early Han Dynasty from the beginning, but grew up after experiencing a lot, and became Liu Bang's strategist.

Those strategists in history are all like this. Even the thousand-year prime minister Zhuge Kongming, perhaps "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" depicts him as being at his peak from the moment he appeared.

However, in history, Zhuge Kongming's true display of strength was still in the later period.

Obviously, this is also growing up after experiencing

As for those who cultivate the Dao, the vast majority have practiced for thousands of years, yet in reality, they have very little actual insight.

Just like those sect disciples who practice for thousands of years and then leave the sect to gain experience, they are often finished off by some small-time thugs.

Most cultivators spend thousands of years without ever leaving their sect, practicing almost entirely within their own grotto-heavens; thus, what they increase is only their magic power, not their wisdom.

It is not the case that just because one has lived for thousands of years, one can become an old monster or an old schemer.

Su Fan himself has experienced many worlds and has seen too much—battlefields, officialdom, the pugilistic world, and so on.

Having experienced many lives, even if he is not naturally comparable to people like Zhang Liang, in terms of strategy and wisdom, he is absolutely no worse than those top figures in history.

Even when it comes to military strategy and tactics, if placed on a historical plane, Su Fan is confident that he can contend with those top-tier figures.

The improvement of one's realm can indeed improve one's wisdom, but without experience, one remains like an infant.

Take Zhao Kuo of the Zhao State, for example, who engaged in "armchair strategy"; of course, one cannot say that Zhao Kuo was completely incompetent.

It can only be said that having never experienced the battlefield and relying entirely on the military tactics from books to contend with a true master of military strategy, the final result was obvious.

If only he had experienced a few wars and been able to master the military tactics he had studied, he would not have suffered such heavy losses when facing Wu'an Jun Bai Qi.

After all, Zhao Kuo did have potential.

If he had truly been baptized by the battlefield, perhaps he might even have surpassed his father; he had that potential.

It is a pity that the Zhao State did not have that time to give him.

The cultivation world is the same; the sects in Nanzhan Buzhou clearly know this truth, which is why they often let their disciples go out to gain experience. They clearly do not wish for their sects to be filled with Zhao Kuos who only know how to talk on paper.

The slaughter in the cultivation world is even more terrifying; unless your cultivation level can exceed the enemy's by several realms, suppressing the enemy with absolute power.

Otherwise, those with rich experience will inevitably make you suffer.

This is a lesson learned from countless bloody experiences.

Only by experiencing more can one broaden their horizons.

But sometimes, those with more experience often become very rigid and stubborn, which is also very common in the cultivation world.
