Learning #2

The three of them were both astonished and curious about the amazing sight in front of them.

"Urgh I guess you guys must not really understand what Wang Jun is explaining" Jin Fei chuckled embarrassedly as he spoke.

Wang Jun understood this, he also understood the backward people in front of him very well, people who had been living in the forest for a long time without any interaction with outside humans, maintaining their existence in isolation with very little development.

Because of his promise Wang Jun opened the explanation, "So basically there are some basic techniques in cultivation, but before that I will first explain what cultivation is in my opinion, someone who has become a Cultivator is a lucky person, many of my friends work hard everyday to support their families, but none of them have the opportunity to become a Cultivator, if you ask if I also work hard, the answer is yes but not as hard as them, therefore I can conclude that becoming a Cultivator is lucky, does anyone want to ask about this?"."

"Is this Cultivator related to the Uhh Dao what is it called..." Wu Liang tried to recall his grandfather's words, while Wang Jun just looked at Wu Liang curiously, "Such a small child has spoken dao? Is there an expert here? It can't be..." Wang Jun thought, as he knew, the topic of Dao was heavy and boring, but there were some people who were very fond and familiar with Dao discussion, most of them were experts, and most of them liked to hide, so Wang Jun became suspicious.

He turned to Jin Fei and frowned while raising his eyebrows, portraying a question mark to him.

But Jin Fei did not understand what he was saying.

"Do you mean the Great Dao of Human? Yes there is, the history of its beginning is long and I don't really remember much of it, the story of its journey is indeed told by the people in our city as a bedtime story, we should be able to remember it, but every storytelling is always connected from one chapter to another, there are dozens of chapters and one chapter can be subdivided into several parts, I'm not sure I can explain it in detail to you, do you want to hear just a few parts?" Wang Jun prepared to tell Wu Liang a story while swallowing his saliva.

Yes, Wu Liang nodded and gave a definite answer.

"So the Great Dao of Human was originally a human like us, his origin is unknown from what, where, or even who? But it can't be from 'who', because he is the first human on earth, the point of his journey is that he wants to reach the source of his life which is the Celestial Dao of Spirit, it is the source of all spirits in this world, Wu Liang of course you are not familiar with spirits right?... Good, so all the spirits in the world come from him, no exception tree spirits, earth spirits, nature spirits, or whatever it is, his journey of the Great Dao of Human is full of obstacles and heartbreaking, his big goal is to be like the source, at first he was very obsessed with becoming equal to the Celestial Dao of Spirit, but in every journey he always found new things and slowly his original goal disappeared, all the achievements he got from the journey changed himself for the better, whether it was thinking, All the achievements he got from his journey changed him for the better, whether it was thoughts, feelings and the like, it all changed the Great Dao of Human that was originally a creature full of obsession into a creature that learned from all the achievements he got, all of that really changed his identity, he learn and could be learned, the Great Dao of Human who had reached enlightenment from his life lessons is what we know today as, there is no human being more majestic and enlightened than him, his journey gave us a very valuable lesson, what it can explain..." Wang Jun was stunned to see Wu Liang staring at him blankly.

That blank stare was like a deep chasm ready to fill up all the information from Wang Jun.

Wang Jun is aware of this, he knows that Wu Liang is a young man who is ambitious about stories or maybe even literature, he thought, but he ignored Wu Liang's reaction and tried to explain next.

"So what does the Great Dao of Human have to do with Cultivators?" asked Ao Nan, it was his turn now to wonder what mystery lay behind everything.

Wang Jun tried to jog his memory, scavenging through the piles in his head, "During the Great Dao of Human's journey, he got children of his own like a tree that grows and then another tree appears from his own seed, but unfortunately his children did not inherit anything special from him, so the first Great Dao of Human's child died because he could not protect himself, finally the Great Dao of Human looked for a way that he could provide protection to his child, and the first cultivator was created from the second child of the Great Dao of Human, that's more or less it".

Wang Jun once again glanced at Wu Liang, and the result was still the same.

"This kid is so weird", he thought.

To him, Wu Liang's reaction was strange, stranger than when he was teaching in his hometown, normally people would just be silent or furthermore they would be dumbfounded, but Wu Liang? He was silent like a statue, and the gleam in his eyes was dark and deep, like a boundless abyss ready to fill whatever entered it.

Wang Jun tried to ignore him, "so I'll just explain the basics on Cultivators, Cultivators actually have 3 aperture, namely the soul, mind, and physique, the first is the soul, this soul may sound very cool and dominate but no, for lower stages like me and Jin Fei, our soul aperture are weak and useless, like water in a glass, our soul aperture is weak and useless, like water in a glass, it only fills but does not help at all, the soul aperture will be useful when you have entered the fifth stage or the new second soul is born, the second soul is our soul that can do our will, I don't know the details but as I remember our first soul which is the current one is just a half-finished or imperfect soul and if the soul is not matured for a long time, The second is the mind aperture, this is the aperture that will be fully open when it reaches the same stage as me, it is called fully open but it does not mean that it can be fully controlled, the current me is also still learning and understanding the whole way it works, then the physical aperture, this is the aperture that can make you enhance your physique and put a stamp of ownership on an artifact, for example this sword of mine" Wang Jun instantly performed the 'Hand seal monkey' technique again, a symmetrical long sword projection covered in thin light came out from the distance between his hands and then became solid like his appearance after the technique was completed.

"This is what I mean, you can see my ownership mark here, it has to use blood in order to release its true potential, actually we can use more blood, but there will be side effects and it really interferes with the process when fighting" while showing his ownership mark that uses blood at the tip of the sword's base, "I call my sword 'red mist' because every time it slashes the enemy, the blood of the enemy will evaporate and become a red mist as the name implies, even Jin Fei himself saw firsthand how fierce my sword is, oh yeah, we Cultivators in this era prefer to refer to our stage as rank, it depends on where you are but still all Cultivators in this era mostly use the term rank, for example Jin Fei who is still in the 'fortification body' stage he is referred to as rank 1, but with the addition that he is a 'Fortification Body' stage Cultivator who is forging his bones then he is called mid rank 1, and I myself am still low rank 3, the difference in combat power from rank 1 to rank 2 is not much, but the higher you are the more the difference, any questions?"

Wu Liang was still silent and made Wang Jun a little offended but he tried to ignore it, while Ao Nan was confused about what to ask, this time it was uncle Ao Qi's turn to ask, Jin Fei who was tired of standing finally sat down, because Jin Fei sat down then Wang Jun also sat down.

"You said it was the current era, so from your sentence, uncle started to think whether there is actually more than one city? "Hearing this Jin Fei wanted to pat his forehead but he held back because he knew that this family was a rural person and did not know anything about the outside world.

Wang Jun sighed, "Yes, our world has actually gone through many eras of time and there are also many types of ethnic groups and so on, the world is so vast, in my lifetime I am sure that I have only met a few of them," Wang Jun replied.

"Ethnicity? What is ethnicity?" asked Uncle Ao Qi in confusion, once again Jin Fei and Wang Jun resigned themselves to this, Wang Jun somewhat regretting his acceptance.

"How to explain it... I'm also a bit confused, but simply put in the world out there there are a lot of ethnicities and tribes, just imagine there are a lot of Wu tribes out there with different contents, let's say all the ethnicities live on your mountain then your mountain will not be able to accommodate them all because there are many types, "said Wang Jun, "and for the era, we there widely recognize that now is the era referred to as the era after the 5th world war or the 6th world era, maybe because the world war has occurred many times that's why the era is called following the number of major wars".

"War? What is war?"

"It's a fight on a very large scale, try to imagine that ethnicity on a mountain that can't even accommodate all ethnicities, then imagine that there is a mountain with many other ethnicities there, and the two of them are fighting fiercely, and yes... That's how world wars look like, from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th world wars, all of them were devastating and almost destroyed the foundation of humanity that the Great Dao of Human had worked so hard to build, but that's the norm for humans, no one can defend or refute it, everything happens for its own sake."
