■ Wisdom Path
Wisdom path emphasized on control, it researched upon certainty.
Wisdom path had three main elements: thoughts, wills, and emotions. Thoughts were ever-changing, wills were intense, while emotions interrupted, wisdom path cultivation meant having control over these three aspects.
On this basis, wisdom path Gu cultivators could handle information by storing them or understanding certain things, this allowed them to control the present.
Going a step further, the wisdom path Gu cultivator would use all sorts of clues and information to deduce certain possibilities according to the rules of heaven and earth or the behavior of people, this gave them control over the future.
This was the essence of wisdom path!
Thus, wisdom path cultivators were often calm and composed, they knew how to handle their own state of mind.
Users that cultivate wisdom path are scarce and mostly reclusive, instead of openly fighting they mostly rely on creating schemes for their enemies to fall in. The scarcity of cultivators of this path is mostly due to the lack of complete inheritances as well as strict control and reluctance to trade inheritances away. Others are wary of cultivators of this path and tend to try and befriend them as to use their service to deduce important subjects for them, for example, their enemies whereabouts.
Three basics:
1- Thoughts
This path greatly relies upon one's mind to generate thoughts and make deductions. Wisdom path Gu Masters specialize in different kinds of deductions which means, for example, one can be better at deducing Gu recipes then deducing an enemy's whereabouts.
2-Wills
There are countless types of wills that each have a specific application or a field they excel in, some are useful to subtly manipulate their enemies into making mistakes or guiding them into a trap, while others can be used to actively communicate and convey the intention, of the one who created the will, to others. Wills are also able to store memories and can, therefore, be infused into a variety of 'containers' which are too dangerous to be directly explored with one's mind.
3-Emotions
Emotions are closely interlinked with thoughts and wills and can, therefore, also be manipulated. If used correctly enemies can be sent into frenzied self-destruction on one extreme or on the other, be made to feel pity or friendliness towards the manipulator.

■ Refinement path.
Cultivators of this path, have an easier time refining or reverse-refining Gu. It is a highly regarded path but due to it being costly to refine Gu it's one of the paths that's harder to cultivate and increase attainment in.
It may not be apparent but even this path has offensive capabilities albeit not on par with other paths, those are, for example, refining the Gu of their enemies (forcing their will inside the Gu of their enemy) and taking control of them.

■ Heaven Path
It is an all-inclusive path, capable of becoming a bridge to different paths, and allows one to influence the mechanism of heaven such as Heaven's Will and calamities and tribulations.
■ Human Path
human path deals with managing other humans to work for the user, though unlike enslavement path, they still retain their will.
Human path also specializes in healing and revival, being the most versatile path for this purpose as its dao marks don't conflict with others, thus it could be used even on immortals cultivating other paths. Due to this nature, it could also be used to support and raise the battle strength of others no matter the dao mark type or quantity of the subjects.
Human path, like Heaven Path, has higher effectiveness in countering the chaos from the outside world.
■ Formation Path
This path can be said to encompass all other paths and is therefore considered as the most complicated path. Formations are at their core killer moves but with slight differences, it's specialty is mostly to create persistent formations that exhibit a specific effect when used, for example, a battle formation to suppress foes or a teleportation formation to travel far distances. And unlike normal killer moves it's need for a Gu Master's constant supply of mental energy to control the Gu decreases or even becomes unnecessary after the formation is set up and activated. The essence of formation path can be said to create an environment (suitable to one's needs).
Formation path grandmasters can deduce and create formations that rely upon the dao marks found in the immortal materials common formations that only rely upon Gu. (The immortal materials are destroyed after a certain amount of time has passed.)
Formation path great grandmasters can go even further by implementing the natural dao marks in the world (in a place where they are abundant enough) as the foundation in a formation, this can go as far as just using mortal Gu and natural dao marks to create an immortal formation.
Due to the need of having to have a high enough attainment in other paths to use this path effectively, the entry barrier is high, therefore not many cultivate this path and even fewer experts of this path exist, their number is only second to wisdom path cultivators in rarity.
