My mind shifted to cultivation, the thoughts colliding, merging, being destroyed, and reducing in number at terrifying speed. I had to be fast with this process.
The Joyous Wind Inheritance was a mortal inheritance, but its philosophy aligned perfectly with my goals. And it's so complete it feels like an immortal inheritance with only immortal Gu taken out of the inheritance. And powerful and useful meanwhile.
There were a lot of Gu worms of different effects and levels, their recipes, and the information on the philosophy of the path—as if not enough, it contains killer moves so useful I think if I could be fair it was the best path in the world for my lustful fantasies fulfilled.I absolutely am going to grow this path and keep it as a great secret for myself.
Just the information on the Gu worms and the effects of them, the ease of their feeding as perfected by an immortal, the ease of refining most of the Gu inside.
It was so perfect that I finally understood Ju Yang's greatest inheritance before becoming a Gu Immortal never was the Imperial Court Blessed Land but this inheritance. That's why he hid his intention behind lust-filled actions, or maybe he too was interested as the opening condition was strange in itself.
Wisdom Path : It is one of the oldest paths, appearing alongside Qi Path. It specializes in deduction, calculation, scheming, and managing thoughts, wills, and emotions
Wisdom Path cultivation is divided into three major aspects:
Thought : Thoughts are like "weeds" or "water droplets." They are the most easily created and destroyed. They serve as the basic fuel for thinking and deduction.There are countless types of thoughts like star thoughts , malicious thoughts, ..., and the Joyful thoughts of the Joyous wind inheritance
They are Used and collide in the mind to produce answers, deduce Gu recipes, or modify killer moves and the like
Will : Wills are formed by gathering many thoughts. They are like "ice cubes." They are more durable than thoughts and can exist independently of the main body
The same as thoughts they too have diffrent types like special will gu , deliberate will gu , battle will gu and playful will gu which Fang yuan said was the most capable of creating emotions but as it seems it's not even comparable to a fraction of what Joyful Will gu is capable of.
Wills can be left behind to execute commands (e.g., controlling a Gu House) or used to probe dangerous places.they also help in inheritance like Joyous Wind's familiar will.
And Emotion : Formed by intertwining wills. Emotions from what fang yuan said
are like water, a small stream when thin, but cannot be cut easily or steered by reason. When deep, they will be like the sea, having great control and power over oneself.
Later in the future the Emotion Path and the Enchantment Path are derived from this aspect of Wisdom Path
Attacks using emotions are often the hardest to defend against.
But most importantly Wisdom Path is known for its versatility and strategic value.
It's useful in :
Deduction & Calculation:as Wisdom Path Gu Immortals can deduce the location of enemies, the secrets of inheritances, and the method to unravel killer moves.
Also Wisdom path methods are essential for Refinement Path, helping to deduce incomplete Gu recipes and modify them.
Defense:They can set up defenses to prevent others from deducing information about them. Without Wisdom Path methods, a Gu Immortal is easily located and killed.
Offense:While generally considered a support path, it has offensive methods. For example, Dong Fang Chang Fan created the killer move Myriad Star Fireflies, turning deduction thoughts into offensive starlight specks.
Thats what wisdom path is overall in summary, but Emotion Path is a sub-branch derived from Wisdom Path. Wisdom Path cultivation focuses on three major elements: Thoughts, Wills, and Emotions,
Emotion Path attacks can bypass physical defenses to strike the mind or heart directly
joyous Wind was a Space Path Gu Immortal who wanted to transition into the Wisdom path of his desires(which had pioneered Emotion path unknowingly) ,this inheritance fuses some of the concepts of Space as he had great attainments in it it seems(Distance, Void, Locations) with Emotion part of wisdom path (Joy, Pleasure, Connection). It borderline steps out of just being wisdom path.
It's core philosophy being : Standard Wisdom Path cultivators seek tranquility to calculate. This inheritance argues the opposite: the brain works fastest when the body is in a state of high stimulation (Ecstasy). And we can use this in diffrent ways.
