The Time Blade is a technique of time manipulation, said to be able to control time.

However, Bai Cang almost never used it in battles, not because he was unwilling, but because he was unable to!

The time it takes to manipulate a blade of grass is completely different from the time it takes to manipulate a primordial spirit Dao Lord.

Even something as simple as freezing time is extremely costly and has very low cost-effectiveness.

However, within the "Pot Heaven World," altering the flow of time locally is not a difficult task for Bai Cang.

In particular, the people among them had their cultivation levels reduced and had returned to their mortal forms.

However, as time goes by, when they switch to the Xuanmen Qi Refining Path and make some progress, the difficulty and energy expenditure will also increase.

Therefore, Bai Cang did not intend to fix the flow of time.

Instead, as their cultivation level increases, the flow of time will gradually slow down, eventually reaching a consensus with the outside world.

He did this simply to speed up their initial progress.

Whether they would starve to death during the time acceleration was not within Bai Cang's consideration.

If they can't even reach the level of "living on air" before they starve to death.

Bai Cang could only say: "I've just acquired a consumable item. Remember to be careful next time."

Very soon, very soon.

In the blink of an eye, some people had already grasped the basic techniques and successfully entered the path of Qi cultivation.

Then came breakthrough after breakthrough, and in the blink of an eye, everyone had advanced to the rank of "Qi Refining Immortal Master".

Meanwhile, only a few breaths had passed in the outside world.

Even within the scope of time acceleration, it's only a few days.

With everyone being promoted, the passage of time seemed to slow down a bit.

Seeing this, Bai Cang nodded slightly, "As expected of the elites I carefully selected from Yangshen Heaven, they are all people with extraordinary talents."

Of these 700-plus people, the "Nine Heavens Sword Technique" was the most popular, with over 400 people choosing it, accounting for more than half of the total.

After all, the "Ascension Dao Lineage" of this world is essentially a half-sword cultivation school.

Everyone was also most familiar with the path of sword cultivation.

Of the remaining three hundred people, those who chose the "Heavenly Gang Five Thunder Technique" and the "Howling Wind and Thunder Book" were roughly evenly split, with more than one hundred people in each category.

However, what Bai Cang found quite interesting was that, despite practicing the same three techniques, everyone's understanding of them was different.

Even in the initial stage of cultivating Qi, a significant difference can be clearly seen.

It is foreseeable that as their cultivation level increases, and they eventually advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, they will inevitably undergo a complete transformation.

It might even evolve into hundreds of completely different cultivation methods.

This shows that the self-created technique that Bai Cang forcibly deduced from his own physical body does indeed have great flaws, or rather, its universality is not high.

A person with high emotional intelligence would say: "There's a lot of room for growth!"

"What you learn from books is never enough; you must put it into practice to truly understand!"

Thinking of this, Bai Cang couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that creating a new cultivation method to establish a sect is not as simple as I imagined."

Every authentic esoteric Buddhist text circulating in the world has been refined through countless trials and tribulations, and is the result of the personal cultivation, compilation, and revision of countless wise and insightful individuals.

Why is it that even though unorthodox sects have produced primordial spirits and possess numerous techniques leading to primordial spirits, they have never been able to overcome the barriers and join the ranks of the orthodox sects?

That's the reason!

Indeed, the unorthodox sects have produced more than one rogue immortal, and more than one primordial spirit cultivation technique has been passed down through generations.

However, almost every unorthodox cultivation method has "defects" or unreplicable factors when it comes to the step of attaining the primordial spirit.

Even unorthodox immortals who used it to attain enlightenment and cultivate their primordial spirit could not transform it into a universal cultivation method due to various opportunities and their own special circumstances, and could not erase the inherent nature of "oranges growing in the south".

Is it because they are not exceptionally talented?

No! It is precisely because they are so exceptionally talented that they cannot understand the mediocrity of "mediocre people".

Just like a top student looking at a question: Is this even a question? The answer is x.

The top student, on the other hand, would look at the question as: "Because, therefore," and the process was too simple to explain, so they omitted it.

But in the eyes of a mediocre student, or rather, an average genius, it becomes: What are you talking about? Why are you torturing me with this incomprehensible language?

For those extraordinary and talented individuals who are considered unorthodox and free-spirited, this is a different story.

Once you understand a formula, you can just manually craft a crane weapon. Isn't that something anyone with hands can do?

But to ordinary people in unorthodox fields: Do you want to see what you're saying?

And this is the biggest dilemma of unorthodox schools!

Unorthodox schools have never lacked exceptionally talented individuals.

Whether it's an unparalleled genius who has mastered the Path of the Primordial Spirit and attained the Dao Lord status, or a "crooked talent" who creates his own techniques and takes shortcuts, there is no shortage of them.

What unorthodox schools lack most are precisely mediocre "geniuses".

A large number, even a massive number, can go one after another, using their life's wisdom and the blood and tears of their journey to analyze the astonishing wisdom of unparalleled geniuses into ordinary geniuses that can be passed down to all people.

Take Bai Cang as an example: his foundation is so profound that it is unprecedented and unparalleled, making him an absolute prodigy.

His cultivation system encompasses Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the universe and time, all phenomena of heaven and earth, thunder magic and sword cultivation; it can be said to be all-encompassing and all-encompassing.

He created his own martial arts techniques based on his own physical abilities.

Even if we've tried our best to simplify things and make them as easy as possible.

But the final result is still all-encompassing and profound.

This led to a situation where hundreds of people practiced the same cultivation method he created, yet all exhibited drastically different, even contradictory, results, making it difficult to assess the situation.

You can't say that one person's understanding is correct, while another person's understanding, which conflicts with it, is wrong.

This is like the blind men and the elephant!

Everyone's understanding is "correct," but due to differences in perspective, innate talent, personal experience, and opportunities, the results presented are completely unrelated, or even contradictory and conflicting.

This is a trouble unique to unparalleled geniuses, and it is almost "unsolvable".

Only with a sufficiently large sample size can we fully "test and fail".

The final solution may not be the most perfect, but it is the version that can be accepted, understood and adapted by the most people.

So here's the question: what unorthodox schools lack most is this kind of "foundation".

Those "ordinary geniuses" who could barely understand Bai Cang's thinking, but were not good enough, and whose talent was insufficient to support them in forging their own path and establishing their own school of thought.

Between the orthodox and unorthodox schools of Taoism, which would they choose?

Who possesses sufficient resources and power to discover and select them to the greatest extent possible?

The answer is self-evident!

Bai Cang's biggest advantage over other unorthodox immortals is that he was not born a peerless genius.

He is a master of unconventional wisdom, the source of which does not come from his own innate talent, but from his extraordinary openness and creativity.

Therefore, he can understand the thought process of ordinary people and will not engage in "cross-server chat".

These elite cultivators he "recruited" from Yangshen Heaven could just fill the biggest gap in the side sects.

"If Heaven had not given birth to the great prodigy Bai, the unorthodox sects would have been plunged into eternal darkness!"
