Wu Wei.
The concept had existed long before cultivators gave it a name, long before philosophers debated its meaning in quiet gardens and mountain temples.
It was woven into the very fabric of existence itself, a truth so fundamental that most entities never recognized it even as they lived within its embrace.
Effortless action.
Consider water.
It does not struggle against the rock in its path. It does not rage and scream and demand that the obstacle remove itself. It simply flows around, finding the path of least resistance while never abandoning its destination. Given enough time, that gentle pressure carves canyons. Given enough persistence, that soft yielding reshapes mountains.
