My whole family are full of geniuses, I really don't want to be a succubus!

Ever since learning that she would be participating in the inner sect assessment the day after tomorrow, Su Yi has been feeling like the sky has fallen and hasn't had a good expression.

With a livid face, Su Yi took the notebook and manuscript handed to her by Gu Wanquan. She read it by lamplight for ten minutes before falling asleep.

When Su Yi woke up again, she felt more energetic than ever before.

The feeling of fulfillment from this knowledge passing through the brain without leaving a trace made Su Yi both satisfied and anxious.

I learned it, but I didn't really learn it!

At this moment, the geniuses in the courtyard realized that Su Yi, who seemed almost omnipotent in their eyes, also had flaws!

Although Su Yi's performance in cultivation was impeccable and she was exceptionally talented.

When faced with theoretical learning, such as the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, and the practice of observing qi and reciting scriptures, Su Yi behaved almost like an idiot.

They can't even distinguish between yin and yang lines in the most basic six-line divination!

Even Gu Wanquan hadn't expected that Su Yi's foundation would be so poor.

In this world of cultivation, the foundation for a child's enlightenment is not the Three Character Classic or the Hundred Family Surnames, but rather various Taoist scriptures and classics.

The thought that Su Yi was an orphan caused Gu Wanquan's eyes to darken.

"It was Wan Quan's oversight, please forgive me, Senior Brother!" Gu Wan Quan said apologetically, cupping his hands towards Su Yi.

This kind of person is the most cunning. They don't notify you beforehand, but apologize generously afterward, acting like they did it all for your own good.

  

If she weren't truly outmatched, Su Yi would have lost her temper looking at Gu Wanquan, dressed in white, with his sincere attitude of admitting his mistake!

What's the point of an apology now that the deed is done?

Su Yi handed the stack of manuscripts, thicker than a Xinhua Dictionary, back to Gu Wanquan and gave up completely.

Su Yi's mindset also changed. It's just a monthly exam, not counting the eight-year exam. When have I, Su Yi, ever passed an exam since I was a child?

Even before she transmigrated, Su Yi hadn't passed her driving test.

If Heaven had not granted me, Su Yi, the examinations would have remained an eternal, dark night!

My will is as firm as steel; I'm determined to be the king of failing exams!

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as Su Yi is willing to give up and stop struggling, she will feel relaxed!

I grabbed my fishing rod and got ready to go fishing again!

Xiao Tian's eyes lit up when he heard that Su Yi was about to go out!

Since Brother Su entered the inner sect, Xiao Tian had been unable to seize any opportunities. Now that he could once again latch onto Brother Su's coattails, Xiao Tian naturally wouldn't miss the chance.

This is a physical training method for military generals, why bother learning it!

Within the inner sect, physical cultivators do not need to take written exams; they are like students with special talents, only needing to reach a certain level.

Xiao Tian pestered Su Yi relentlessly, insisting on going out with her.

Unable to resist his persistent pestering, Su Yi had no choice but to take Xiao Tian to her usual fishing spot.

Once they arrived at the location and set up their fishing rods, Xiao Tian, ​​who was eager to seize the opportunity, couldn't sit still, as if his buttocks were nailed to the ground.

"Senior Brother Su, is this really considered cultivation?" Xiao Tian, ​​holding a fishing rod, asked Su Yi, who had a sour face.

Standing over two meters tall, the handle looked like a toothpick in his hand.

Su Yi said sternly, "I already said it was for fishing, why did you insist on coming along?"

Xiao Tian scratched his head and chuckled憨厚ly, saying, "Hehehe, even if Brother Su is fishing, I don't think it's simple. Brother Su, are you cultivating?"

Su Yi was startled. Had this foolish Heavenly Emperor really figured out what she was doing?

Su Yi spoke calmly, "What did you figure out, kid?"

Xiao Tian pointed to the float floating in the lake and said matter-of-factly, "Brother Su, I'm a body cultivator with heightened senses. You threw a straight hook into the river without bait. It should be difficult to catch fish like that, right? But you seem to have fish with every meal you cook. That doesn't make sense!"

Hey, I didn't expect this silly kid to be so quick-witted!

Su Yi smiled nonchalantly. Originally, she just wanted to work hard secretly and then amaze everyone.

I never expected that a silly kid would see right through me!

Su Yi stood up and stretched his limbs. Since he had been discovered, he could only show off in front of the Heavenly Emperor!

"Kid, do you know what cultivation is?" Su Yi asked, looking at the rushing river in front of him.

Xiao Tian thought for a moment and then replied, "Cultivation? To comprehend the universe, to revere nature, to cultivate virtue, to understand one's true nature, to achieve the supreme immortal body, thereby transcending the cycle of the five elements, roaming freely through heaven and earth, and attaining great freedom!"

"Let's not talk about such empty rhetoric. Following the natural order leads to becoming a human, going against it leads to becoming an immortal. Cultivation is inherently going against the current. Take the journey from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core, for example—it's about seizing the rules of heaven and earth to achieve one's own supernatural powers!"

"And how can you determine which rules you can intercept, and which rules are suitable for you?"

Looking at the dumbfounded Xiao Tian, ​​Su Yi said bluntly, "If we compare the world to a general store, we are the thieves. We pick out our favorite items from this store, then steal them. Once we've stolen them, they're ours!"

Su Yi's words struck Xiao Tian's pure heart like a hammer blow.

Although I know that Su Ge didn't go to school like me when he was a child, isn't this a bit too barbaric?

Cultivation is like stealing, stealing the rules of heaven and earth?

Does stealing something make it yours?

That's not how my mother taught me!

Shouldn't we revere heaven and earth, cultivate ourselves to understand the Dao, and follow the way of heaven in order to attain the Great Dao?

Seeing Xiao Tian's dumbfounded expression, Su Yi felt a sense of comfort from head to toe.

What could be more satisfying than showing off in front of the future Heavenly Emperor?

That's probably how he'll use what he says in the future to show off!

These words were spoken by Xiao Tian after he became the Heavenly Emperor, when he wanted to establish the Heavenly Court and break the old order.

This was a perfect opportunity for Su Yi to use it to show off to Xiao Tian.

Feeling inwardly pleased but maintaining a calm expression, Su Yi looked at Xiao Tian and said, "Are you trying to say that the principles I've been taught since childhood aren't presented this way?"

Xiao Tian nodded blankly, but Su Yi said bluntly, "Establishing a path and having people understand and follow it is what people should do! If you think like that, then you can't escape the realm of ordinary people!"

Upon hearing Su Yi's explanation, Xiao Tian's eyes lit up. He could sense that Su Yi's next words were of great importance to him!

"Please teach me, senior brother!" Xiao Tian said excitedly, bowing respectfully as a disciple.

Su Yi patted Xiao Tian on the shoulder: "The principles that people understand and follow are established by the sages of the past. The sages were human beings, not heaven and earth. What the sages could do, you can certainly do too!"

Su Yi's words exuded unparalleled domineering power, and Xiao Tian was so excited that he trembled upon hearing them.

Seeking the Dao and becoming an immortal!

Seek the truth, seek the truth!

Why don't I become the Way?

Or perhaps one should become the one who establishes the Way, so that the Way comes to me?

Only immortals sitting high in the heavens can achieve such a feat!

Before that, what I need to do is to continuously steal the rules of heaven and earth to achieve my own success!

The frantic brainstorming left Xiao Tian's head somewhat overloaded, as if he had grasped something, yet also felt like he hadn't grasped anything at all.

Xiao Tian was so anxious that he paced around in circles, like a monkey who had lost its peach.

Xiao Tian grabbed Su Yi's sleeve and pleaded, "Senior brother, senior brother, teach me!"

Su Yi shook his head mysteriously and said with a smile, "I'm just telling you my understanding of cultivation. Everyone still has to strive for their own path."

Seeing the disappointment in Xiao Tian's eyes, Su Yi pointed to the river in front of her and said:

"My path to spiritual cultivation lies within it!"
