What an opportunity was to hear the introduction of the theory of practice by the No. 1 strong man in Jiuzhou.

All the new disciples, including Lu Yang and others, were all excited, fearing that they would miss a word.

Seeing that everyone was listening carefully, Ma Tianyi continued to introduce: "You should all know that the current Jiuzhou cultivation world is divided into two major schools: the world-entry school and the world-transcendence school. For all new cultivators, it is very important to choose which school of cultivation to choose. This should be the first lesson you learned when you entered the immortal sect.

"The struggle between the other six major sects in Jiuzhou and the two major cultivation routes has even reached the point of life and death. But this sect is different. There are both world-class cultivators like Elder Luo and Elder Li, as well as world-class cultivators like Elder Lin and Elder Pan. In my opinion, everyone's purpose is to realize the dream of ascension, and world-class sects and world-class sects are just different ways of achieving the same end.

"As the head of this sect, I will naturally not evaluate the advantages and disadvantages between the two sects here. The path must be determined by your original intention. Next, I will just introduce the respective theories of the two sects to you and let you judge which one is better and worse. I promise that no matter which sect you choose, this sect will provide you with the best practice platform."

For other new disciples, the great principles Ma Tianyi is currently talking about is far less attractive than teaching the spiritual skills and the mind method.

The most typical one is a poor student like Xiao Huang. When he heard that Ma Tianyi was going to teach everyone pure theory classes like the school teacher, he started to feel sleepy and was completely different from the previous enthusiastic look.

On the contrary, visitors from other worlds, Lu Yang are particularly interested in the "metaphysical" discussion of such a tycoon in the cultivation world.

Ma Tianyi ignored the reactions of the new disciples in the square and began his lecture on his own: "The biggest difference between the worldly sect and the worldly sect is nothing more than the view of merit. You should have heard that merit is the kindness given to the monks by the way of heaven. Under the same qualifications, anyone who has merits will practice much faster. If he can be like my master Bo Nanke, he can obtain the six-way merit gold wheel, and his practice speed can even reach about ten times that of those without merits, which is equivalent to improving the two spiritual root qualifications..."

Through Ma Tianyi's introduction, Lu Yang finally learned the most cutting-edge theory of the merit system in the current cultivation world.

In this world, there is a strange existence called Tiandao. Every daily behavior of an ordinary monk can obtain affirmation of Tiandao or negation of Tiandao.

If your behavior is affirmed by the way of heaven, you will gain merit; and if your behavior is negative by the way of heaven, you will also gain a kind of "negative merit", which the practitioners call it karma.

Merit is similar to the hidden attributes of a cultivator. Usually, cultivators cannot perceive the existence of merit, but once merit accumulates to a certain level, quantitative change will lead to qualitative change and obtain a golden wheel of merit.

The Merit Golden Wheel is a very powerful cultivation buff that can greatly increase the speed of cultivation. Every three Merit Golden Wheels is equivalent to improving the spiritual root qualification. In addition, many ancient secret realms also require monks to have enough merit to enter. Many monks missed many important opportunities that are within their reach due to lack of merit.

Because of this, almost all capable monks will accumulate merit as much as possible.

As the opposite of merit, karma does not have a manifestation like the merit gold wheel. It will only have a hint of black aura that appears when casting spells. However, the consequences of karma are extremely terrible.

Anyone who is plagued by karma will have a debuff speed. When this debuff accumulates to a certain level, the cultivator will even "go into a devil". In severe cases, the serious will eventually lose his mind and become a devil who cannot think and can only rely on instinctive action.

The various incredible social phenomena that Lu Yang encountered in the cultivation world before were the result of this merit system.

According to the strange way of heaven in this world, cleaning the city can obtain merits, creating a comfortable living environment for cultivators can also obtain merits; killing demons and eliminating demons, guarding the land can obtain merits, and maintaining financial stability in the cultivation world like Bo Nanke can also obtain merits; promoting the population growth of mortals can obtain merits, and discovering more seedlings of cultivation can also obtain merits; even regular auctions can obtain merits...

To put it bluntly, this is why many cultivators do not open good stores and insist on holding extremely inefficient auctions like crazy.

Corresponding to obtaining merit, behaviors that will cause karma to be entangled are also strange.

For example, killing mortals at will will lead to karma, and malicious attacks on younger generations with lower cultivation levels will also lead to karma; destroying social stability will lead to karma, and even "breaking slavery" things that seem fair to modern people will also lead to karma...

What’s even more funny is that if a cultivator wants to leave the sect and become a casual cultivator, it will lead to no longer being able to accumulate merit.

Therefore, there is no such existence as casual cultivator in this world.

The most fundamental contradiction between the worldly sect cultivation and the worldly sect cultivation is the understanding of the merit system.

The world-class cultivators believe that contemporary cultivators need to study the mechanism of the operation of the "Heavenly Way" in depth, and theorize it, systematically and scientifically through scientific double-blind experiments and empirical research, thereby studying a more efficient way to obtain merit.

For example, Tiandao believes that cleaning the city can bring merits, so cultivators from the world will study the following questions through experiments:

How can we clean the city more efficiently?

What posture is used to clean the most easily to make merit?

Which behavior is more efficient in obtaining merit by sweeping the streets or accessing toilets?

It sounds nonsensical, but for thousands of years, cultivators from the world have really developed a systematic "urban sanitation theory", which includes:

The efficiency of obtaining merits is the highest in cleaning urban garbage and public bathrooms, while the efficiency of obtaining merits is the lowest in cleaning private residences; the efficiency of obtaining merits is the highest in maintaining the dormitory of immortals, and the efficiency of merits in inns is the second-hand, and there is no merit in maintaining sanitation of ordinary people's residences.

The most exaggerated thing is that the "father of urban sanitation theory" that year, the first genius monk who invented the "Garbage Handling Art" who invented the wind-based public health magic, actually obtained three merit gold wheels on the spot while promoting the magic art, becoming a legend in the cultivation world.

These successful cases have made the worldly cultivators believe that they pay attention to everything and learn. Empty human feelings are articles. Even if they study ordinary things like sweeping the streets thoroughly, they can gain immeasurable merits.

While studying the merit system in depth, the world-class cultivators also studied some derivative theories. Although these derivative theories do not help to obtain more merit, they also reveal some laws of this world.

The most typical one is the three laws of cultivation proposed by the great monk Bo Nanke:

The first law of cultivation - the law of conservation of spiritual energy in heaven and earth: the total amount of spiritual energy produced between heaven and earth every year is generally fixed.

The second law of cultivation - the law of large numbers of spiritual roots: the probability of spiritual roots appearing among mortals is one in a thousand, with up and down fluctuations of 10%.

The third law of cultivation - the law of spiritual energy absorption efficiency: The lower the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, the slower the rate of spiritual energy absorption by cultivators.

Although these three laws are not helpful to the cultivation of the truth itself, they have profoundly influenced the worldview of the cultivators in the nine provinces for thousands of years.

As more and more evidence proves the correctness of these three laws, even the most stubborn cultivators of the transcendental school have to admit that Bo Nanke's theory does have some truth, and even incorporates these three laws into the theoretical system of the transcendental school's cultivation.
