"To command a thousand paths with a single one?"
The old man's eyes quickly flickered with vast amounts of data.
Clearly, he was computing the feasibility of such a method.
In fact, whether it's better to comprehend one rule or multiple rules,
there has been a near-standard answer for twenty thousand years.
It depends on oneself.
If you are naturally close to multiple rules, then it is naturally better to comprehend multiple rules.
If you have a higher affinity for a certain rule, then it is naturally better to focus on comprehending that rule first.
But now,
this latest response
gave the old man a different direction.
"No, that's not right."
"To command a thousand paths with a single one, first and foremost, this 'single path' must be overwhelmingly suppressive towards the 'thousand paths'."
"If it's just a 'path' on the same level, why would it command a thousand?"
The old man deduced for a long time and hit a dead end.
"But this method is indeed possible."
