Reincarnated With A System In A Cultivation World

"Yes, I am a new disciple." I nodded.

"Stop messing with the kid. You have to go straight and you will be able to see a huge gate. Dragons inscribed on them. That's the dragon gate." another senior brother swooped in and gave me a general direction.

"Thank you, senior brother." I bowed down slightly and went running in the direction that I was pointed.

Five minutes later, I could see a gate coming up in front of me. With it visible, I knew where I had to go. I quickened my pace, and saw that there were people in front of the dragon gate as well.

An old man was in front of many other disciples, and they seemed to be in a classroom of sorts.

"A class out in the open? A huge sect like this shouldn't be running out of money. I think that this elder who is teaching this class just likes the open." I thought to myself as I got to the gate.

I looked up at the top. It towered a whole twenty meters above me. It was the biggest structure that I had ever seen in this world.

"It looks like we have a guest here." An elderly voice interrupted my thoughts. I looked at the elder, who stopped talking and was looking at me.

"Forgive me, elder. I was not aware that there were classes till now, and had to look for the dragon gate." I cupped my hands together and bowed.

"You did not know that there were classes? Then how was it that you came here the last three days, and behaved like the most irresponsible brat that I have ever seen?" the elder raised his voice, with a hint of irritation.

"But, I-"

"Just go and sit down. Preaching about the heavenly daos is a taboo, and I am only doing this here, in the dragon gate, because the proud dragons are the rare ones to attract the ire of the heavens. The heavens will not deign to look at us." the elder waved his hands.

I looked around. I also spotted Cai Lien, but she was not looking at me. Her eyes were still locked at the elder.

I took a corner to sit at, and started listening to what the elder had to say. This was not the seventh elder, I knew that for sure. But what he said felt truly profound.

"The path of pursuing a Dao is different from path of cultivation. But many pursue both of them together. That is because they do not understand that after a point, they will have to make a choice. After a point, they will have to pursue the path of cultivation alone, and go against the heavens, or they will have to pursue the path of the dao, and stay servant to it.

One thing is for certain though. No matter which path is taken, there will still be tribulations to overcome. The ones on the path of the Daos will undergo tests of competence, while cultivators will undergo heavenly punishment."

I raised my hand at this point.

"A question, I hope?" the elder looked at me.

"Yes, elder. Regarding the path to be taken. If being on the path of the Daos is the one that the heavens wants us to follow, then why does the path of cultivation even exist? Why doesn't everyone follow the path of the dao?"

"You are truly an idiot." the elder shook his head. "Do you think that it is easy to follow the path of the dao? You must understand the true meaning of the path that you are taking. You must understand what it- Oh? It looks like you actually are not as big an idiot as I thought you were. To think that you would have touched a small aspect of the Dao of transformation?" the elder's eyebrows raised up.

"I was just lucky." I laughed sheepishly.

Around me, everyone turned around and had jealous looks in their faces. It was clear that having any comprehension of any dao was highly coveted.

"But do not let that get into your head. The Dao of transformation is very powerful. Every dao is powerful once you achieve the height of it, but it is a long journey to the end. " the elder sighed as he said.

I nodded and sat back down.

"Now, we shall take a look at the classifications once more. Among the 3000 great daos, there are three types. There are the daos of weapons, the daos of nature, and the daos of the elements. Now, many automatically touch the dao of weapons easily, and that is why they are the most common to see.

However, after a point, they are also the hardest to move forward in. That is why, I warn every single one of the disciples of the sect that you must choose what Dao you will walk upon very carefully." the elder said.

"All of this took a different turn from cultivation. I wonder though. If I am able to get to the Xiantian realm and have sufficient mastery of a dao, will I be able to go through the huge catastrophe that is clearly coming for me?" I wondered.

"The sword dao. Everyone calls it the king of the weapon daos. To all those that say that I say that is bullshit! All weapons have a counter. The sword is only good in close combat. Qi can only do so much. The spear can counter the sword with ease, And the spear is not invincible either. The mace can destroy a spear user. Every weapon has its counter, and calling one the king is stupidity!" the elder said with a passionate voice.

"Now, there are also the fools who learn every single weapon and think that they have no counter in this world. They are even bigger idiots. Do you think that you can master all the weapons? How much time do you think that you have in your hands? Masters spend their whole life focusing on one weapon and they still do not reach the pinnacle of the dao of that weapon." the elder spat out.

"What does that make me? The ethereal weapon arts teach every weapon. But I have the system, which shows me the easy way for everything." I thought, trying to comfort myself.
