A Detailed Explanation of Human Cultivation Realms contained thorough explanations of Sambodhas.
According to the book, Sambodha was divided into multiple ranks.
The Detailed Explanations on Human Cultivation Realms contained thorough explanations on Sambodhas.
For example, Suppression, Abundant, and Boundless were categorized under Earth Sambodha. Drizzle, Rainstorm, Optimal Water, Frost, and Mist were derivatives of Water Sambodha. As for Wood Fire, Sun Flames, Earth Fire, and Desire Fire, they were categorized under Fire Sambodha.
Abundant was considered low-rank among the Earth Sambodhas; Earth Fire was considered low-rank among Fire Sambodhas.
Sambodhas were divided into rudimentary, intermediate, advanced, and ultimate ranks.
The Five Elements were the most fundamental powers of order that formed the world. The Sambodhas they formed were considered rudimentary. Most cultivators formed their Dao Seeds with rudimentary Sambodhas.
Needless to say, not all rudimentary Sambodhas were equal. For instance, Frost Sambodha and Drizzle Sambodha were both derivatives of Water Sambodha but Frost Sambodha was more powerful than Drizzle Sambodha.
As for intermediate Sambodhas, the most common ones were the Five Elements themselves.
Many advanced Sambodhas were fusions of the Five Elements. For example, Wood and Fire would produce Wind; Water and Fire would produce Thunder or Yin and Yang; Water, Fire, Wood, and Earth would produce Vitality; Water, Fire, Metal, and Earth would produce Death. They were not limited to these fusions; there were various types of fusions.
Light evolved from Fire while Water, Earth, and Metal would form Darkness.
When the Five Elements flowed in harmony, they would form the world; when they flowed in reverse, they would bring about destruction.
The derivatives of the Five Elements were considered rudimentary while the fusions were considered advanced.
There were also powerful Sambodhas apart from the Five Elements such as Destruction, Reincarnation, Karma, Time, Space, and others.
There were only two ultimate Sambodhas: Space and Time and Chaos.
Apart from that, there were other special Sambodhas as well such as Sword Sambodha, Saber Sambodha, Fist Sambodha, and many others. These could only be classified as rudimentary Sambodhas. However, they could be easily manipulated to fuse with other Sambodhas. Examples of the fusions were Drizzling Sword Sambody, Death Sword Sambodha, and Destructive Sword Sambodha.
“Technically, they’re categorized under the Five Elements and non-Five Elements.”
Thoughts continued to race in Jiang Ming’s mind.
In fact, Destruction, Reincarnation, and Karma were part of the Five Elements. The flow of the Five Elements gave rise to the powers of Destruction, Reincarnation, and Karma.
When Jiang Ming flipped to the next page, his eyes instantly lit up. His attention was caught by a few specific sentences: ‘At its roots, there’s only one ultimate Sambodha, which is the legendary Chaos. However, since the dawn of time, no one has ever mastered it in the human world. This Sambodha only exists in theory. Even the Space and Time Sambodha isn’t included in the records. Chaos formed the words, giving rise to time, space, Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements. When the Five Elements flowed, all creations were formed’.
Jiang Ming felt something in him stir. Was the book delving into the nature of the world? He shook his head as he thought to himself, ‘This can’t be. After all, it’s called A Detailed Explanation of Human Cultivation Realms.’
As expected, he saw a footnote at the end of the page: ‘This conclusion is made after poring over millions of cultivation tomes in the human world. I’m not responsible for any inaccuracies or mistakes. *cough* I’ve gained insight into the Wind and Thunder Sambodhas, and in the end, I selected the Thunder Sambodha to form my Nascent Soul’.
‘The f*ck?!’ Jiang Ming exclaimed. Then, he hurriedly flipped to the end of the book. As expected, he saw a description: ‘This book was written by Master Dao Yan before he attained immortality. You should trust this writing, but not completely. You’ll have to depend on your ingenuity to discern the truth. Good luck on finding your Grand Path!’
“I thought this book contains the knowledge from the system so I read every page seriously, sorting out the information and mulling over it. In the end, it’s written by some person who merely gained insight into the Wind Sambodha and the Thunder Sambodha! Moreover, he even gave up on one of them!” Jiang Ming was overwhelmed with the urge to lose his temple.
He stood up and paced around his room as he muttered under his breath, “I viewed you as the truth, and now, I find out it’s just someone’s personal views! I have to depend on my ingenuity? Good luck?! If you’re standing in front of me, I’d tear you into pieces.”
After a moment, Jiang Ming took a deep breath to calm down before he stopped pacing. He sat down again and continued reading. This time, he took everything he read with a pinch of salt.
…
The days went by.
Jiang Ming’s life was as peaceful as ever.
After completing his chores, he spent time gaining insights into various Sambodhas.
In the afternoon, he took a short break from cultivating. He drank a cup of tea before he routinely opened the Human Path Records to check on Yue Cheng. He would check on Yue Cheng’s information once a day.
Name: Yue Cheng
Gender: Male
Cultivation base: Dao Seed Realm.
Background: First Seat of Zhiyang Peak (Note: He’s an Elder of Yinmo Sect)
Innate Talent: Eight stars
Relationship: -48
Status: Secretly investigated Zuo Han’s death, but yielded no results. After analyzing the experts of the sect, he concluded that the culprit is an outsider. He was delighted when Zi Linglong cleared the Tower of Trials and is determined to recruit her so she could be the Holy Daughter of Yinmo Sect. He plans to wait for three months for things to settle down before making a move. Once everyone lets their guards down, he plans to send Zhou Yizhao, an Elder of Zhiyang Peak, to Chuyang Peak to set up a Formation. When Zi Linlong returns to Chuyang Peak, the Formation will be activated, isolating Chuyang Peak from the world. At that time, he plans to abduct Zi Linglong and bring her away from the sect to nurture her.
‘This old geezer really didn’t learn from his lesson. I must look for a chance to deal with him,’ Jiang Ming thought to himself indignantly.
It seemed like his days on the mountain were too carefree, and it was time for him to shake up the balance slightly.
Following that, Jiang Ming flipped to a blank page and mentally wrote down Zou Yizhao’s name.
Name: Zou Yizhao
Gender: Male
Cultivation base: Purple Mansion Realm.
Background: Elder of Jiuyang Sect’s Zhiyang Peak (Note: He’s actually an Elder of Yinmo Sect)
Innate Talent: Six stars.
Relationship: -12
Status: He’s been ordered by the First Seat of Zhiyang Peak to head to Chuyang Peak tonight to set up a Formation.
A relationship value of -12 meant that the other person disliked him.
‘As a Yinmo Sect elder, your fate is sealed,’ Jiang Ming thought to himself with a hint of contempt, ‘Yue Cheng, you’re taking me too lightly by sending a lone Purple Mansion cultivator here…’
Following that, Jiang Ming looked at his Junior Sister’s information and discovered she was already at the 3rd Extreme of the Golden Core Realm.
“Amazing!” Jiang Ming exclaimed in shock.
After Jiang Ming was done looking through the Human Path Records, he leaped in the air and looked at the back of the mountain.
The lands had been plowed. When he had run out of soil previously, he had brought some back from the foot of the mountain. After obtaining Gu Hai’s permission, he had also demolished the buildings on the other side before plowing the land and planting some seeds and herbs. Most of them were ordinary herbs.
“When it’s time for the harvest…” Jiang Ming’s expression was one of anticipation and delight as he thought about the harvest.
…
As night began its descent, Jiang Ming waited with an anticipatory expression on his face.
“He’s here!”
When the stars and moon finally made their appearance, he sensed a concealed aura approaching from a distance. If he did not cultivate his special cultivation method, he would not have been able to sense the person.
The person he sensed was none other than Zou Yizhao. He could tell Zou Yizhao was not traveling through air. Instead, Zou Yizhao was currently making his way through the woods.
…
At the same time.
Zou Yizhao finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. He surveyed his surroundings and was surprised to discover the inactive protective Formation. This caused a smile to bloom on his face.
“That old fart Gu Hai isn’t around. Apart from that useless Jiang Ming, there’s no one on the mountain. Heh, this is too easy!” Zou Yizhao muttered to himself, “I should set up the Formation near their residence to ensure success…”
Zou Yizhao was about to climb up the mountain when he discovered the ripples in his surroundings. A Grand Formation suddenly shrouded in just a blink of an eye.
“No!” Zou Yizhao exclaimed in shock as he hastily brought out a top-grade item to defend himself.
In the next moment, he saw a figure appear in front of him before reaching for his head..
