Haha, it's pretty slow, perhaps too slow. Not much combat at all. - Pen
As for the exact logic behind this, Di Tou wasn't quite sure, but he made a mental note that using his Qi twice seemed to have a greater destructive effect than if it was consistently applied over time. While this hopefully wouldn't matter for any future endeavors with spiritual items, this could potentially be useful in combat or disposal in the future.

The cultivation 'world' also doesn't contain the entire universe/space around it! In this case, Di Tou wants to connect to Earth specifically, although connecting to the Universe would be perfectly fine too. - Pen
Regardless, based on what he knew and what he had seen, Di Tou didn't believe that Earth was a small world, and even if it was a small world, it wasn't so small a world that it would end up being trouble. Even if it turned out that it really restricted his movements in this world and restrained his strength, he could tolerate it. In any case, he wasn't in this world to become the strongest, nor did he have some grand ambition. He just wanted to go home, and this was the best route he had before him. His strength getting restricted was something he didn't want to see, but that was because he had seen how this world operated and understood that without strength, he would be limited in everything he did.

That's true. It is conflicting terminology, but I feel like it makes sense, and speaks a bit to the sadness of being outshone. In youth, many people are called geniuses, for they're ahead of their peers. Perhaps they're the smartest in their kindergarten, their middle school, or high school. But as they grow, they find that in this vast world, although they can rightfully be called geniuses, they're still only ordinary. Perhaps that's a bit melodramatic of me. - Pen
For such a young boy, even ignoring his cultivation talent, he was a pretty decent genius. Adding to his superb cultivation talent and his recent enlightenment, he could indeed be considered a leading figure in the younger generation. At this, Li Chang Hu couldn't help but heave a sigh of pity again that this genius had had its wings clipped, while his indignation and rage towards the assailants increased another notch.

I think it's introduced more in the next chapter or two, but basically for most cultivators (or beasts, or mountains, or anything that cultivates) the stronger you are the more 'detached' you are from the rest of the world. In a word, you become more 'godly.' But at the same time, Heaven doesn't favor people who have grown too strong. Like a king plotting against ministers who have gotten too much power, Heaven constantly embroils people with tests and tribulations, and those of higher cultivation naturally face tougher tribulations. But with lessened emotions and a clearer view, it's much easier for them to avoid tribulations as long as they're paying attention. This is where karma comes in. If a cultivator is like a computer, and a stronger cultivator has a stronger firewall, tribulations are like viruses. A weak cultivator might fall for one unknowingly, while a strong one will be clear on the details and might even be able to avoid and circumvent the majority of viruses ahead of time. Karma is like plugging in a USB, no matter how good your fire wall is, it's been ignored altogether, and the trouble will come. For normal cultivators, Heaven doesn't need to go this far and the ordinary viruses will do the job. The heightened emotions are a tricky virus. Either you fall for the emotions and suffer the subsequent attacks, or you ignore them, thus creating a mental block and preventing or slowing further cultivation. Either way, Heaven achieves its objectives. - Pen

Thank you very much for the kind words! It really is greatly appreciated. I'm happy to know that even an odd story like this one can be enjoyed by someone other than myself, haha! Also I appreciate the spotlights on the mistakes. It's hard to notice sometimes when you're the one writing as your brain tells you it's right, so another pair of eyes is always welcome! - Pen

Yes! That's a good point. In the universe, cultivation isn't distinct or limited to any given race. If a mountain can cultivate, why not a planet or a sun? The only difference is the bigger and more powerful the original body, the lesser the conscious. So mountain spirits might have simple minds, while suns and planets are pretty much only able to cultivate and nothing more! That's the "Heavenly Balance"! - Pen
In his mindscape, Di Tou examined the appearing and disappearing star and couldn't help but be awed by its majesty. The Elusive Ghost Star was actually a rather small star. It wasn't even half as big as the Great Yang or Great Yin Stars. But looking at it from afar, on the rare occasions it was visible, it seemed massive.

O-O A pot sword for cooking. Perhaps the friction from the sword moving could generate heat? How fascinating... - Pen
People would think he was brewing potions or something of the like, right? There was no way it could be good food.

Oop. - Pen
There was a sixty percent chance that he would fail to congeal his Qi, thus causing yet another wave of internal injuries that would place him in an even risker situation, while also setting him back to the Peak of the Foundation Stage. How long it would take to reach this state again was unknown.

Maybe not rabies exactly, but all sorts of diseases and madness inducing spells and plants surely exist. It's a good thing to think about though! - Pen

Hi! - Pen
Smiling, Di Tou accepted the vials while looking up and saying, "Say, Brother Xiao Yu, what should we do about the crystals on the roof and walls? Looking at the way the dissolving fluid works, I can't imagine it'll be easy to excavate them."

He has standards! Just... really low ones. - Pen
But in the end, after looking at Jiang Hu's wares up and down, there really wasn't anything that interesting. The majority of what he had were brightly colored weapons, and although there were a few more spears in the mix, their size and design didn't make them very suitable for fishing. As for the rest, they were just ordinary household goods. No matter what it was, the quality of the mark didn't match Di Tou's standards.

Of course, in actuality, the process ended up being faster, as with Elder Long's stern face around, all of the various disciples quickly scattered and made way, while the poor disciple who was manning the booth worked three times as fast. For h*cks sake, this wasn't even a case of the boss or the supervisor coming over to take a look… it was the boss's boss's boss's great grandfather, ah!

I believe most predators don't taste very good, the meat is too tough to eat, and the gamey smell is too strong. In this case... let's just say it tastes good! :) - Pen
Looking at the remaining flesh, Fu Hao Xin cut off a couple of chunks of flesh from the chest and threw it into the pot alongside a couple of bones.

No hatred! Admittedly not a great understanding either though. For the sake of not misrepresenting anything, I didn't directly put Buddhism into the story beyond Di Tou using terms like Buddha now and then when describing people, or using it as reference to understand the monks of this world. - Pen
