I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world

Centuries later, the Great Dao Library.

Jemin sat cross-legged in the void of his sea of ​​consciousness, with a jade slip floating in front of him.

He had been here for a long time, with a large number of books he had read piled up beside him, and at this moment he was following the famous sword cultivation lineage in the cultivation system.

The reason why Jemin studied these things was not because he suddenly became interested in swordsmanship, but because he gradually became curious about a certain issue while studying sexual cultivation.

What kind of cultivator would value sexual cultivation more than physical cultivation?

According to the information he had previously collected, most cultivators emphasized the importance of cultivating both body and mind.

Of course, due to misunderstandings, most cultivators actually focus on cultivating their life force.

There aren't many schools of thought that truly prioritize cultivating one's character, and even to some extent downplay the importance of cultivating one's destiny.

After some searching, Jieming discovered that the most famous among "sexual cultivators" was actually sword cultivators.

Thinking about it carefully, this doesn't seem surprising.

Sword cultivators have always emphasized mindset and willpower. Many traditions even believe that the key to sword cultivation lies not in how strong the swordsman's physical body is, nor in how much spiritual power he has accumulated, but in whether he can cultivate his own sword intent.

Powerful sword cultivators are often able to defeat enemies of higher levels. For them, while the difference in cultivation level is important, it may not necessarily determine the final outcome.

Sometimes, a swordsman with a lower cultivation level can unleash a strike beyond their own limits if they truly comprehend the sword intent in a certain moment. This phenomenon is clearly related to the concept of sexual cultivation that Jieming previously understood.

Since sexual cultivation can enhance a cultivator's control over their own power, then sword cultivation, a school that particularly emphasizes temperament and willpower, might be able to help him understand the essence of sexual cultivation.

With this in mind, Jieming specially collected a large number of sword cultivation classics, preparing to find the answer in them.

Then he realized that he seemed to have made a wrong decision.

"What does it mean to follow your heart's desires, your body's path, and ultimately, your destination?" Jieming looked at the words in the jade slip, his brows gradually furrowing.

"What does it mean to be driven by worldly desires, and to change the world in a single thought?"

He then turned to the next book.

"Once the sword intent is formed, everything can become a sword; wherever the mind leads, heaven and earth will respond accordingly... Is this right?!"

After a moment of silence, Jemin finally couldn't help but complain, "Seriously, guys, are you guys really that superstitious?"

He held the jade slip up to his eyes, as if trying to confirm whether he had missed any crucial annotations.

Unfortunately, the entire text repeatedly emphasizes mind, will, sword heart, and sword intent, but rarely explains how these things actually influence the external world. Occasionally, specific training methods are mentioned, but they mostly focus on the practitioner constantly tempering their character and strengthening their beliefs until one day they have a sudden enlightenment and comprehend the true meaning of the sword. As for why, after enlightenment, one can unleash a sword strike far exceeding their own power… to a sword cultivator, this is entirely natural. Enlightenment is enlightenment; if I want to, I can do it!

Jemin slowly put down the jade slip: "Tsk! I hate these idealistic guys the most; they don't reason at all!"

Unwilling to give up, he looked through several different versions of the tradition.

The result wasn't much better.

Some sword cultivation manuals emphasize cutting off distracting thoughts, believing that as long as the mind is pure, the sword intent can be made sharper.

Some believe that sword cultivators must firmly believe that their sword can cut through anything, and must never have the slightest doubt, even when facing enemies far stronger than themselves. The more Jemin looked, the stranger his expression became.

He admitted that these theories might indeed be effective.

After all, the ability of sword cultivators to kill enemies of higher levels wasn't just a legend fabricated by some ancient texts to attract disciples; it was supported by numerous examples. That's precisely why he found it even more difficult to understand.

If a sword cultivator's power can indeed be enhanced through temperament and willpower, then there must be some kind of mechanism at play.

What exactly did their sword intent change?

Is it its own runic structure, the manipulation of external laws, or some kind of power that ordinary cultivators have not yet understood?

Surely you can't just believe that you can cleave the heavens and earth with a single sword strike and expect the heavens and earth to obediently step aside? If that were the case, wouldn't all the problems he encountered during his more than a thousand years of research into the power of ascension have been solved by sheer faith? Jemin shook his head and put away the remaining books.

He decided to temporarily abandon the search for answers on sexual cultivation directly from traditional sword cultivation theories.

These sword cultivators are far too idealistic.

It's not that idealism itself has any problems, but rather that their theories often jump directly from result to conclusion, lacking the explanatory process that Jemin valued most.

He was a staunch materialist.

Even though he had come into contact with extraordinary beings such as wizards, cultivators, and even level nine beings, he still believed that these things were just realities that he had not yet fully understood.

Power can defy common sense, laws can differ from the physical laws he previously understood, and life can even influence the world through thought. But as long as these phenomena truly exist, there must be underlying mechanisms worth studying.

For Jemin, superhuman strength does not mean giving up on understanding.

On the contrary, the more unusual a phenomenon is, the more worthy of study it is.

Sword cultivators clearly don't think that way.

They didn't seem to care whether they could explain the whole process clearly. As long as they believed in their swordsmanship and could improve their sword intent, the theoretical contradictions could be temporarily set aside.

This difference prevented Jemin from truly mastering the basics. However, as he closed the last book, something suddenly occurred to him.

"etc……"

Jemin sat up straight again, his gaze falling on the sword cultivation manuals he had previously set aside.

If the essence of sword cultivation is indeed biased towards idealism, then is the reason why sexual cultivation can enhance power also related to idealism? This thought made him serious again.

He had previously learned from the books in the Great Dao Library that cultivating one's nature was not simply about enhancing one's spiritual power, but about enabling practitioners to gain a deeper level of control over their own mind, will, and power.

The question is, is simply improving control efficiency enough to explain the ability of sword cultivators to kill enemies of higher levels?

Jemin does not deny that mental stability can bring benefits.

However, simply making oneself calmer and more focused can at most reduce mistakes and improve the efficiency of energy utilization.

It seems that a crucial element is missing in order to make a sword cultivator with a relatively low cultivation level suddenly unleash power far exceeding their own realm.

Unless... what sexual cultivation enhances is not just the ability to control existing power, but something more special.

Jemin's thoughts raced as he recalled the Level 9 creature he had encountered in the Central World.

Thanks to the fact that his True Delusion-Piercing Eyes had inexplicably reached the highest level, he could now see the principle of "wish fulfillment" more clearly. It was a power that could directly alter the runic structure representing the essence of the world according to one's own will, thereby influencing reality. His thoughts were no longer just mental activities, but could directly participate in the operation of the world's underlying rules.

That is precisely why it can transform wish fulfillment into true power.

Level 9 beings do not simply believe that something will happen, but rather they are able to use their special abilities to make the world change according to their will.

So, does sexual cultivation also have a similar principle?

In this way, some of the special behaviors of sword cultivators seem to be given a new explanation.

The reason they emphasize mind, sword intent, and absolute belief may not be because these things can create power out of thin air, but because a special cultivation process allows their will and power structure to form a closer connection.

To put it more simply, the reason why sword cultivators... or even cultivators who cultivate both body and soul can achieve additional improvements is because they have obtained higher-level power to a certain extent.

"In this respect, the monk and wizard systems are quite similar." Jemin's eyes gradually brightened.

When Jemin was promoted to a sixth-level wizard, he had already confirmed that the reason why high-level wizards could fight beyond their level and had such exaggerated combat power was largely because high-level wizards had obtained some of the characteristics of ninth-level life forms in advance through the solidification of the law domain.

With this understanding, his research direction became much clearer.

After years of research, he became even more convinced that he could not possibly embark on the path of sword cultivation, because his way of thinking was fundamentally different from theirs.

However, this doesn't mean that Jemin can't use the power of idealism. Firmly believing in materialism is itself a way of understanding the world.

Conventional spiritual cultivation often emphasizes sudden enlightenment, breakthroughs in belief and state of mind.

Some cultivators experience a sudden enlightenment in a moment, and their power surges accordingly. However, many more people spend their entire lives unable to overcome a certain mental barrier. The limits on this path may be extremely high, but it is inevitably affected by individual comprehension and mental state.

Jemin's approach, however, is to search for mechanisms that can explain the phenomena as much as possible, and then master them step by step through learning, analysis, and practice.

This method might not allow him to suddenly unleash power far exceeding his usual level like some sword cultivators, but it has one clear advantage. As long as the direction is correct, he can improve himself through continuous learning.

There's no need to wait for some unpredictable epiphany, nor to remain stuck in the same place because of an unfathomable state of mind.

What he needs to do is not deny these phenomena, but find an explanation that suits him.

"Since a level nine being can manipulate the power of the world's underworld at will, I can continue my research in this direction as well." Jemin stroked his chin.

"All I need to do is figure out how their beliefs influenced the power."

Jemin closed the book in front of him, his consciousness withdrawing from the Great Dao Library.

(Damn! My tooth suddenly hurts, it hurts so much.)
