So you mean to tell me that in TMW, people can examine the mental state of others, cause like i said he comprehended the sword/saber intent by himself, or the minute subtiles (whatever its name is), or during the body refinement process, can you tell me a part from the purple card helping him get filter the energy, did it help him understand each stage of the body refinement, or the sword intent, or the saber intent or the minute subtiles
Yeah he's just normal , and his perception are helped by purple card that what make him can catch up to other cultivator, but after having pure yang body , his talent will only get better
The problem is who want to spare their precious time to make the copies? And let's say they have so many copies for the students, that won't help Tai Ah Divine Kingdom in the Desolate Beasts Invasion because there won't be much time remaining to comprehend the technique. And with their present cultivation level, they will only be cannon fodder if they stand on the frontline.
make copy of high/mid tech scrolls? in my opinion and imagination, it is possible but you cannot compare it to the original scroll. like the sword/saber tomb where there is an intent thingy. it might be the same to high grades technique. While writing the scrolls, they might put intent or some insights in the letters that it is hard to copy. which is impossible to copy because each person has their own views about that technique. no proof about this, just an opinion.
Yeah run from arguments you cant win. They are looking for younger generations who can be a human sage. Did you actually read the hundred of chapters for trial,screening etc. They're not a military camp whos training children to become knights to defend a city wall.
This is my analysis of the case. I'll use an analogy to better explain it. Now just assume that there are country x and country y at war now and country z as a bystander. Country x army have 10k population and 1k of the population are in army while country y have 5k army and 3k of the population are in army. Country x is losing the war because country y have 3 times the army of country x. Now this is where it connect with your question, why doesn't country x arms its whole population with guns, cannon, rocket launcher, heck maybe even nuclear bomb? With the whole 10k population with arms surely they can fight back country y right? Maybe and maybe not. Think again 8k of the population are amataur with arms and the military rules and protocols. Even if they teach the amataur how to fight how good will it be? They will just cause chaos in battlefield and increasing the casualties. Not convinced? To join an army there usually will be tests given. You don't want people with questionable background or bad personality to make up the majority of the army and gain access to arms right? You won't know when they will backstab you and theaten your country. Still not convince? Let's assume against all odds that country x with its 1k army and 9k armed civilians won the war, what happen next? Can country x gain total control of its arms again? Will all the 9k armed civilians return the arms? Nope. Many of these armed civilians will become bandits or even terrorists. Or they might possibly defects to country y or z and sell country x's arms' secret to them and in the end country y and z might reproduce these arms and use them to fight against country x again. So there you have it. The same reason also applies to the control of distribution of magic elixirs and skills book in all xianxia novel.
for the sword and saber tomb remeber it was said that most people don't understand them and its rare as hell to gain any sort of insight into them it would waste time which they don't have
it's about fairness , everyone in Divine city can choose whatever job they want as long they have the ability and earn token, more token they can earn, more resource(pill, technique , training ground) they can enjoy. Work harder, and you can get better resource. Tai ah divine city cant afford to give everyone best treatment because they dont have it for everyone , for example that The Dragon Blood Lucidum elixir , you want everyone to have it ? or those original set of tai ah divine city can be read by all 12k cultivator ? so let them compete and the best can get all , pretty simple.
You are misunderstanding something. The crisis is obviously coming relatively soon, and it has a history of destroying kingdoms with multiple sages. Compared to a sage, purplebloods and yuans are completely useless. The chances that releasing their training resources would create a new sage is extremely small, so what's the point in doing so?
i dont remember the actual name but i think its Heavenly eyes?? you can use it to search or examine the body of the cultivator to uncover their secrets.. and dont underestimate the sword tombs and saber tombs.. even the number 1 genius(cant remember the name) cant master the sword tomb.. and he is born to hold a sword.. and he can only gain insights in it.. but is yi yun born to hold a sword and saber?? of course no!! but he mastered it!!! and do you think he can master the ten thousand beast totem to produce a three legged crow(primordial species) without the purple card?? you thnk he can do that huh??!
In the end, it all comes down to economics. You have scarce resources(techniques, pills, etc.) and limiting factors(time, population). You have to allocate these scarce resources in a way which you maximize your profit(war potential). So it's simply common sense that you would invest these resources on the most productive warriors with the most potential return on investment(i.e. increased war potential). People like Yao Dao, Yang Qian, Yi Yun and Luo Huo'er are your best and safest investments. They are genii who can add to your war potential and even if the war is lost, there is a good chance of reformation when there are strong, charismatic people like them still alive. Just disseminating techniques would not only lower their value, but also wastes the time of people who could potentially just practice solid basic techniques that can help keep them alive. It all comes down to whether you want numerous glass cannons, or just a few solid ones that can really contribute in a war. The author explains the difficulty of copying techniques in the latest chapter, but even if he didn't, keep in mind that Tai Ah Divine City is very capitalistic by nature. It encourages competition for resources and allows those who work hard and have good potential truly shine. These typically would be the people who will contribute to the country more than just anyone with a fancy background. So just making techniques and resources communal would result in a huge amount of waste and potentially hurt the cultivators who could make an actual difference in the everlasting search for "equality". This is also the reason why purely socialist countries are great in theory, but just don't work out in real life.
The person who started the thread obviously has gotten the point but is too much of a pussy cat to state that he was wrong hence him replying im not gonnna argue with anyone anymore.
If you guys read Martial world, both story has similar trait Both MC has Normal Talent Both MC Acquired heaven defying item Both are normal but given chance by the item to change their destiny, and both talent slowly getting better
Hmm i think you didnt get what i was trying to say, for the cultivation part, even the Tai Ah divine cultivation method, or the yang body he got, or the mastering the 10K beast totem, of course its on the the purple card, never did i say that it was on him. Im talking about his perception, he understood the sword/sabert intent, sure the purple card made him see the enery, but he understood himself, you have to feel then understand, the purple card helped him feel the energy, but he understood it himself. The biggest proof of his genius level in perception, is how he reached the large subtile movement when he is in purple blood stage.
Yi Yun did not get illusion powers from the ginseng. He improved his spiritual energy/soul which resulted in him opening the Heaven's Eye.
What Tai Ah Divine Kingdom need right now is an alliance. If they can control the alliance, they can get sages and veterans from other countries/clans to defend Tai Ah Divine Kingdom. Right now the the highest level cultivators from the geniuses batch at yuan realm at most, it isn't enough to even be a cannon fodder.
