No matter how much one desires to seek and explore the mysterious shortcut to soaring into the clouds, for Chu Weiyang, this path, which has long been recorded in texts as classics, is inevitably a road that requires endless time of grinding and verification.
Just as Xiao Yuluo said,
One must use Heaven’s will to prove one’s own talent.
Therefore, for a long stretch of time afterward, most of Chu Weiyang’s days were completely immersed in the talismanic script drawn on spiritual talisman paper.
From those talisman patterns, he sought to comprehend the true pearl-like essence contained within the words.
Naturally, even just by observing the quantity of talismanic script, one could clearly discern that Chu Weiyang’s mastery was most profound over the true form diagrams; the “Heaven and Man’s Five Decline” technique came next; the last he slowly understood was the “Taiyin Shape Refining” method.
He gathered all he had practiced throughout his life with the hope of forming these into classic writings.
This was Chu Weiyang’s way of exploring the path ahead, while also turning back to reflect.
Every little step forward was also a way to patch up for the careless omissions and deficiencies of the past.
