Wang Qi felt no regret about this. His initial cultivation of the Heavenly Calculation Atlas aimed to harmonize his cultivation techniques, and his study of the Human Dao not only was to control the Life Flame but also to realize his own idea of "establishing a purpose for the common people" and reforming the Human Dao.
Besides, his interest in the Life Path remained merely a "hobby." After gaining control over the Life Flame and pursuing his own ideals, it didn't matter if he didn't practice the Empirical aspect of the Life Path.
He had indeed established a purpose for the common people and paved the way for eternal peace. As a "mortal," he had done all that he should.
——Moreover, he had used this as a pretext to play the sympathy card with Ai Qinglan and had walked away with the research notes and cultivation insights of this core disciple of Jiyin Valley. It seemed like a win-win situation.
