Wang Ru Yi

Wang Jie was taken aback from all the change happening before his eyes and once the light settled a small petite child appeared. She wore a simple dress while seeming glowing in a golden hue.

'Really…a Loli?'

He finds it rather cliche that his system suddenly turns into a child. Wang Jie hoped that it wouldn't end in a rather predictable end.

"Wang Ru Yi? Is that you?" He was baffled that his simply naming of the system would result in the sudden transformation. The petite child opened their eyes, taking their first breath and looked at Wang Jie.

[ "Yup! I am Wang Ru Yi, at your service!" ]

She had a cheerful tone reminding him of Liu Ying but matches her appearances unlike Liu Ying. Her voice was still a bit robotic but had certainly more life compared to earlier.

"What kind of service are we talking about?" Wang Jie hoped that Wang Ru Yi would act like powerful artificial intelligence.

[ "Besides what I've told you, I would do my best to assist you in any situation! You can count on me, Uhmm..can I call you Master?" ]

Wang Ru Yi shyly asked, acquiring a bit of emotion after being named and Wang Jie chuckled hearing this.

"If that makes you happy then go for it." The moment he did instantly brightened her mood.

[ "Hehehe~ Master. Right, do you want to check your rewards?" ]

Wang Ru Yi floated around him and Wang Jie nodded, curious what his reward would be. The [ Endless Stream Waterflow ] that he previously use was a profound cultivation method rooted in the principles of harmonizing with the natural flow of water, symbolizing flexibility, adaptability, and unyielding persistence.

Practitioners of this method harness the power of water to cultivate their inner strength, refine their body and spirit, and attain enlightenment.

It matches Wang Jie at that time and enjoyed using eater elements due to how flexible it can be. Water is abundant from the simplest moisture to the vast ocean. Even the endless cosmic sea of the universe can be considered water.

[ True Profound Wu-Xing Harmonization Cultivation Method ]

[ Rank: Unknown ]

[ Description: True Profound Wu-Xing Harmonization Cultivation is a profound and ancient cultivation method that harnesses the essence of the Five Elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit of cultivators. Rooted in the principles of balance and unity, this cultivation technique aims to unlock the true potential within practitioners and elevate them to unprecedented heights of power and enlightenment. ]

Wang Jie found that the cultivation method was compatible with his spiritual roots and would make it a lot easier to cultivate. He can't rely on dual cultivation since it would ruin his foundation and result in lack of proper control.

There are cultivators who rely heavily on shortcuts resulting in a rather quick yet lackluster cultivation base where their prowess is far from the power of what their cultivation should be.

If given an example is, cheap against expensive where one would mass produce whole the other takes time and care. Even with the highest quality of materials it would be a waste if they do a sloppy job.

'I wonder if my speed would slow down or become faster? But then again I'll prefer to be slow yet have better prowess.'

Wang Jie believed that slow and steady with an unshakable foundation was the way to go. His Will and Dao heart has already been refined to near perfection solely from his previous life experience. He had faced countless tribulations from his life that he always had ways to come out on time.

What is a Dao heart? It refers to the cultivator's mindset or mentality towards cultivation, enlightenment, and the pursuit of the Dao (the way or path).

It represents their determination, perseverance, understanding of the universe's principles, and their ability to stay true to their beliefs and goals despite facing various challenges, temptations, or adversities.

Having a strong Dao heart is crucial for cultivators to progress on their path towards immortality or enlightenment. With an unshakable Dao Heart even if a cultivator has poor talents it is still possible to reach the pinnacle someday.

On the contrary, countless geniuses with high talents but a weak Dao Heart would often fail when met with a setback and face what seem to be an impenetrable wall.

Back on earth, people often find themselves against someone superior in terms of skills and talent despite being the same age or even younger, resulting in their Dao Heart becoming broken and may end up swallowed by their inner demons.

However, Wang Jie's temperament prevents him from being swallowed by the inner demons.

Still it doesn't mean he is immune to it and simply able to overcome it a lot easier compared to other individuals.

[ Faceless Mask ]

[ Rank: Low Class Heaven Grade. ]

[ Description: This technique allows the individual to disguise themselves whoever they wish. They are able to fake their aura and cultivation base to be similar to these individuals to avoid being detected.

However, a higher realm cultivator that has superior sense would be able to discern the difference their prowess wouldn't change only their aura. ]

Wang Jie believed it would be useful in gathering information and moving incognito if he wanted to take action without being traced.

[ Soul Reading Technique ]

[ Rank: Low Class Heaven Grade ]

[ Description: Allows the individual to extract or read a person's memories. There is a high chance of causing damage towards individuals who experience the technique and low chance of destroying their soul in the process.

However, reading higher realm cultivators' minds even if they are beaten to death would be dangerous. ]

Wang Jie couldn't help but smile in excitement seeing how useful this reward would be in dealing with his enemy and causing chaos behind the scene. He doesn't need to fight in the front lines and would let his enemies fight against each other before reaping them in the process.

Is it cowardly? No, he is simply using his mind to find a better way in dealing with his enemy since it would be troublesome to fight them without end and endanger his woman in the process.

"Alright, I'll test it out when I get the chances. For now I should first test my strength and see how strong I am before cultivating."

He couldn't let his body fall behind his essence since they are exactly three path in cultivation. First is Body Cultivation that are painful and tedious where they had to endlessly pushed their body to it's limit to breakthrough.

Though, it beneficial against those who has the ability to seal Essence and can improved a person ability to use essence but only few with extreme willpower would be able to keep going.

Essence cultivator are a lot easier and abundant since it relies solely in absorbing Essence or Qi from the world.

They would simply sit in place where the essence they wish to absorbed is abundant but it does have some cons because it relies heavily in control and talent.

Therefore, only few had the ability to reach higher realm and vulnerable against Body Cultivator who are extremely tenacious.

As for the last, it would be Soul Cultivator. It is rare and difficult to find a method in studying on how a Soul works but anyone who gone this path are extremely valued for they able to fight Essence and body cultivator due to soul being a lot easier to damage. It is rumor only those with strong Dao Heart and Willpower able to survived.

Wang Jie took deep breath and flex his muscle churning the power throughout his body allowing him to utilized every ounce of his body.

He wasn't simply a successful person back in his past life but also someone who trained his body daily believe a healthy body is a healthy mind studying martial art philosophy and their principles that he applied in his current life allowing him to easily cultivate.

However simply knowing without completely understanding wouldn't get him this far and had to continuously study himself to further improve.

Wang Jie took deep breath before twisting his body channeling a perfect coordination of his body into his strike and the moment he halted resulted in thundering explosion of sound as he shattered the air itself.

The sonic boom shook the grass and Wang Jie hardly showed any reaction from his strike that was faster than sound itself and it defy Earth's law of physics. For something to breakthrough the sound barrier would slowly reach it and not instantously.

'It vastly different than before. It's more fluid and precise while league above in power where comparing myself back when I reach essence realm then I would die from my strike at how powerful it is. This should be comparable to Early Stage Earthly Essence Realm.'

Wang Jie had expression the level of power and he knew that his combat prowess can fight against Early Stage Earthly Essence Realm.

However, this isn't the main factor that determines a person victory and can tip the scale when techniques and preparation is involved unless the gap between them is obviously father apart like fighting someone at Middle Stage Earthly Essence Realm.
