The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 810: Chapter 760 The Gap Between Geniuses

Sometimes, Pei Xuanjing had to admit something, even though he had done everything possible to implement these systems, to lower the threshold for cultivation, to allow more people the chance to cultivate, the results of cultivation among cultivators with the same resources were completely different.

Some cultivators, despite not cultivating with their full attention and wasting much time being distracted by other things, still advanced steadily in their cultivation realm.

Yet, others, for the sake of cultivation, cultivated diligently, working assiduously day and night, but could only struggle to break through, watching the backs of others, or even standing still.

This is the difference between talent and comprehension, things that are innate. If there isn’t a great opportunity later on, they simply cannot be changed, even Pei Xuanjing, if not for the help of the Life Simulator, would not have all he has today and would have long since died and become a pile of bones.

Cultivation does not deceive people, if you can do it, you can, if you can’t, you can’t.

“Fairness, how difficult it is. Even after years of continuous effort, I’ve only been able to maintain relative fairness. But the gap in talent and comprehension cannot be bridged, at least not now by me,” thought Pei Xuanjing.

Talent perhaps can be changed since Between Heaven and Earth there are no shortage of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that can enhance talent, and as a cultivator’s power increases, the transformative process itself is an imperceptible improvement to one’s innate talent.

Just like Pei Xuanjing and Pang Hong, their original talents were very poor, not just mediocre, they could even be considered obtuse. However, as their power increased, with the help of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, their talents gradually improved. Although not top-notch, they were still excellent.

But comprehension, that mysterious thing, even Pei Xuanjing temporarily could not think of a solution.

Although Pei Xuanjing’s own talent was innately mediocre, perhaps because of his experiences and insights from two lifetimes, he displayed a comprehension, or ability, that was not weak.

If he lacked comprehension, even with the help of the Life Simulator, it would not have been so easy for Pei Xuanjing to achieve what he has today, or perhaps he would not have reached this point at his current age. He would likely have needed to spend more Taoyun points, simulating more lifetimes to accumulate experience.

The more than a thousand cultivators now able to come to the Longevity World all possess exceptional talent, having emerged from the intense selection of the Shenxiao Sect and the Taoist Academy to snatch their places; even considering the wider world, their talents are considered excellent.

However, even among these exceptional talents gathered together, it’s inevitable that they would be ranked into different levels based on the disparity of their talents, an unavoidable scenario.

These individuals had some understanding of this while competing for their places initially, and had anticipated it in their hearts. However, when they truly witnessed it, they could not help but feel moved.

Sometimes, the gap between geniuses can be even greater than the gap between ordinary people and geniuses.

Time flew by, and once these people had mastered the skills, Pei Xuanjing reappeared before them.

With a gentle wave of his sleeve, over a thousand Avatars appeared before them. These were Avatars condensed by Pei Xuanjing using divine power, allowing these people to house their Yin Spirits within, to then familiarize themselves with the operation and power of the Golden Core.

Of course, the things produced in bulk were inferior compared to the meticulously crafted Avatar he had made for Pang Hong, but even so, it was more than sufficient for these people, though it cost Pei Xuanjing no small expense.

And although the quality of the Avatars might be somewhat lower, the difference could be compensated for with time. Pang Hong’s time for comprehension was limited, but now Pei Xuanjing could afford these individuals much more time to become accustomed.

“You may each select an Avatar to enter, to familiarize and understand the process of Golden Core condensation and operational characteristics. When the time is right, I will come again to assist you in truly condensing the Golden Core,” said Pei Xuanjing to the crowd.

“Yes!”

The cultivators nodded in agreement.

Most immediately sent forth their Yin Spirits to enter the Avatars, beginning to perceive the condensation process and characteristics of the Golden Core within the Avatars, to become familiar with it and master it as soon as possible.

However, Pei Xuanjing noticed that there were still some cultivators who stood there frozen in place, looking embarrassed and unsure of what to do.

The reason was simple; these cultivators were too weak, having just broken through to the Spirit Realm, and had not yet been able to condense their Yin Spirits. Now, with the Avatars before them, they were unable to use them.

Seeing this, Pei Xuanjing frowned for a moment, then came up with a solution, “Well then, let me take action to enhance your power and help you condense your Yin Spirits. Although this might cause some hasty increases in power and shaky foundations, but since you will need to Disperse Cultivation and restart when you consolidate your Golden Cores, you need not worry too much.”

With that, he slapped his palm out, and Heaven and Earth Essence Qi surged, infusing into these cultivators’ bodies, as Pei Xuanjing’s words also sounded in their ears.

“Anchor your minds, do as I tell you, and don’t be distracted.”

“Yes!”

Following what Pei Xuanjing had said, they started to circulate the skill he taught, attempting to condense their Yin Spirits.

At a stage such as Pei Xuanjing’s, helping some cultivators enhance their powers was a simple and easy task, all the more so within the Longevity World where he possessed the power to alter the very fabric of reality, making the condensation of their Yin Spirits effortless.

In no time, these cultivators successfully condensed their Yin Spirits, which were still a bit weak, so Pei Xuanjing protected them with his own power and sent them into the well-prepared Avatars.

After completing these actions, Pei Xuanjing left an Avatar to guard the place, and then his main focus returned to continuing the Refining and stripping of the Taixu Venerable’s Origin.

Now that it had come to this point, he had already plundered much of the Taixu Venerable’s Origin, and the resistance was getting weaker. Pei Xuanjing planned to press on victoriously and quickly plunder the Origin completely.

He anticipated that if he fully integrated the Taixu Venerable’s Origin into the Longevity World, it would bring earth-shattering changes to it.

As time flowed, after several years had passed in the Longevity World, Pei Xuanjing appeared again, waiting for these cultivators’ Yin Spirits to return to their bodies.

With a wave of his sleeve, the thousands followed him to a place that had already been prepared for the condensation of the Golden Core.

It was the same place where Pang Hong had closed off for cultivation to condense his Golden Core, but the area had been expanded countless times over, now capable of accommodating the cultivation of hundreds at once.
