Wan Shi Tong.

After finishing their dual cultivation, Tian Xing looked up at the darkening sky. Sighing, he suddenly missed his previous level as one of the variants named Yoriichi. Although it had only been two hours since they began tasting each other's flavors, they were already exhausted. There was nothing he could do, so Tian Xing focused on his internal energy system to help him last longer. However, his Spirit Awakening technique, which is primarily used to make his soul more sovereign and thereby advance his body and essence, was not working due to the different cosmic laws of this world.

It seems that Tian Xing must wait a little longer if he wants to experience the same prolonged dual cultivation as before. Turning to Ying Yue, who was in slightly better circumstances since she had studied three types of cultivation techniques simultaneously, he asked, "Yue, how is it? Can you cultivate Essence Gathering or Body Transformation energy? Master's Spirit Awakening is not working anymore in this world. More accurately, the cosmic principles are still eluding me, which is why master can't advance my cultivation."

Removing the banana still stuck to her cherry, which caused a stream of juice to drip down their legs, Ying Yue then took her clothes to clean both her master and herself. While cleaning, she listened to his question and pondered the three types of cultivation techniques she practiced. After recalling her subconscious behavior of drawing in energy and calculating the potential of these three techniques, she bent down to change her method of cleaning. Using her kiwi to thoroughly clean every part of her master's lower body and ensuring there were no stains left, whether white or red, she answered.

"Essence Gathering and Spirit Awakening are very restricted and elusive in this world, master. Only Body Transformation has some leeway. Even if we focus our efforts on lifting the restrictions and elusiveness of these Essence and Spirit techniques, there is always another veil above them, my honey master. This makes it very difficult to advance in and use these techniques, as the benefits do not equal the effort required. However, Yue knows that master will always focus on Spirit Enlightenment and study the cosmic laws of this world thoroughly. For that reason, let Yue handle master's cultivation stages. Master doesn't need to concern himself with other techniques like Body Transformation. Yue will take care of studying the easier aspects of these cosmic principles."

Seeing his sweetheart back to tasting his banana after speaking, Tian Xing nodded in agreement with her statement. She was right; he wanted to thoroughly study the Soul or Spirit Awakening techniques of this world. He aimed to do the same in every world he ascended to or descended from. Focusing on the aspects of cultivation that made his minds more agile and dexterous, while he would study other cultivation techniques on the side.

Because, from many experiences in his variant lives, he realized that understanding the Dao alone was not feasible. Even Richard's quantum mechanics, when considered in the broader context of billions of his variants, was at the very bottom compared to others with similar world circumstances. His variants named Richard's believed that the model of his Spirit Awakening was the greatest among them, which was clearly not the case when compared to others who were one level higher in terms of enlightenment.

Even Zymir variant, who focused his studies on archaeological science rather than quantum mechanics, was able to create a model that was a hundred times better under similar circumstances. Moreover, Zymir was not even at the top among the thousands of learned individuals but was only slightly higher than Richard, who focused on becoming that learned individual. This indicated to him that even those at the lower ranks could show such significant differences in ability, let alone those at the top.

Hence, Tian Xing realized that if there was such a disparity even among those who were not the best, understanding the Dao, which encompasses everything, was even more challenging. Therefore, it was better for him to focus on one particular type of inner self-cultivation. By mastering one thing, he could potentially achieve mastery in many areas, as one beget to two, then three, and eventually to ten thousand things. Turning toward Yue, who was still mashing her kiwi with his banana, he said, "Okay then. If that is what Yue wishes, master doesn't mind."

Pausing, he continued, "But there is something Yue must realize. Master doesn't want Ying Yue to neglect your Dao of Wan Shi Tong or Jack of All Trades just because I said so. It is better for you to comprehend many different things since that is what Yue is like and focused on. Wanting to know everything in itself is a certain focus on one aspect of the Dao that will help Wan Shi Tong practitioners understand what limitless truly is. So if Ying Yue loses motivation to advance our Body Transformation technique because it feels like a chore, it's okay to set it aside for a while and pick it up later when you feel motivated again. No, I should correct that: master insists that Yue advance the Dao of Wan Shi Tong when we don't need to advance our cultivation stages to survive the circumstances, so Yue doesn't get stuck in Body Transformation. Do you understand?"

With a mouthful of bananas, Ying Yue replied with muffled sounds, "Hmm… Ymm, undermmstand."

Sighing and shaking his head at her complete embodiment of her roles—since, as a member of the Wu Ming or Nameless race, they are able to adjust their minds based on the many different experiences of their variant lives—Tian Xing then lifted her head, producing a popping sound like after tasting a lollipop. After freeing his banana from her kiwi, he tapped her head and said, "That is enough. Now let's bathe and wash ourselves first before we continue searching for any civilization in this vast open world. And not only that, we also need to wash our clothes since we only brought one set from the universe of Undvik. Just look at it; it is stained with the red color of your juice."

"Ah…"

Stunned by the state of their clothes and finally realizing what she had done, she replied sheepishly, "Hihihihihi, Ying Yue forgot about that."
