The rune "Wind" does not mean that it can directly create air; rather, it signifies that through it, the elemental energy of heaven and earth can influence the air to generate wind.
Specifically, it controls the elemental energy of heaven and earth to operate along the trajectory of "wind," producing a special force that creates wind.
For example, Li Hao's explosive air technique is an application of the Wind rune, compressing air and then causing it to explode.
The invention of this "Wind" rune holds great significance in the history of rune cultivation, as it marks the official emergence of rune cultivation and brings genuine hope to those deemed useless.
In fact, the "Wind" itself does not possess much power; at most, it can stir up a strong breeze with minimal lethality. However, its emergence instilled great confidence in those deemed useless, prompting them to follow the "rune" and collaborate on its development.
They established a Sect called Fuzong, with the "rune" as their leader, referring to themselves as rune cultivators. The symbol of the Sect is "Wind," represented by a design resembling the character for wind.
As the saying goes, many things are hardest at the beginning. Once a breakthrough direction is found, subsequent developments follow naturally. With collective effort, a series of runes closely related to the nature of "Wind" were quickly developed.
Moreover, they achieved other significant milestones, such as developing runes for "Water," "Fire," "Thunder," and "Light."
Once these runes were developed, the rune cultivators were extremely excited. As their research deepened, they discovered that the world of runes was vast beyond imagination.
Each series of runes is not independent; under certain circumstances, they can transform into one another. Some runes can even be applied across any series.
For instance, "Condense" can condense water, wind, or fire. Similarly, runes like "Transform" and "Shock" can also influence these elements. Li Hao's explosive air technique is essentially an application of "Condense."
However, now that the runes have been developed, how should they be utilized? If they cannot be used, then they hold little significance.
There are indeed ways to utilize them; the answer lies in using meridians.
When the elemental energy of heaven and earth operates along various rune trajectories, it produces all sorts of miraculous powers. So where is the best place to control this elemental energy? Naturally, it is through meridians.
The cultivation method of rune cultivators is essentially a process of continuously using meridians as runes to control the elemental energy of heaven and earth and circulate it within their bodies in various rune forms.
As they cultivated and became more proficient, they ultimately formed an instinct that allowed them to manipulate Vital Energy with just a thought, summoning winds and thunder with a wave of their hand—how impressive it was!
This may sound a bit abstract; to put it simply, the talisman cultivators treated their bodies as energy converters—like light bulbs, fans, or induction cookers—while Heaven and Earth Vital Energy served as the electricity. Once the electricity flowed through, phenomena like wind, fire, and light would occur.
The abilities of these talisman cultivators initially shocked the entire world, especially their various miraculous displays, which left people in awe and reverence.
Eventually, many who were originally Martial Cultivators turned to talisman cultivation, making Fuzong the center of attention for a time.
Even the talisman cultivators themselves began to feel superior, as the power to summon wind and rain was akin to legendary divine power.
This led to a sense of arrogance among the talisman cultivators, causing them to stir up trouble everywhere and gain quite a notorious reputation.
However, many shortcomings of talisman cultivators soon became apparent.
Firstly, the Martial Cultivators who switched to Fuzong found that although they could also cultivate talismans, their effectiveness was significantly diminished. For instance, controlling the wind would only produce a breeze at best.
This was not surprising; talisman cultivation had two major requirements: a very fast Vital Energy circulation speed and a large amount of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy. In essence, only those with inferior physiques could truly harness the power of talismans; for others, trying to control fire would be better achieved with a torch.
Secondly, people discovered that talisman cultivators were not as powerful as they seemed. Their attacks appeared magical but were not insurmountable once one got used to them.
One reason for this was that the bodies of talisman cultivators were inherently weak, which directly resulted in their combat awareness and reaction speed being quite lacking.
Once this was understood, it became much easier for a Martial Cultivator to deal with a talisman cultivator. As long as they avoided the talisman cultivator's initial attacks and closed the distance, the talisman cultivator would be easily overwhelmed.
Lastly, there were significant hidden dangers in the cultivation practices of talisman cultivators themselves.
At that time, talisman cultivators attempted to practice almost every type of rune. The meridian pathways within them were a chaotic mix. This was a serious issue because some runes were not suitable for simultaneous cultivation due to mutual conflicts or excessively violent powers.
For example, runes associated with "fire" and "lightning" both represented rather violent forces. While there might not be any immediate issues when cultivating them together initially, problems would arise during combat—potentially leading to explosive consequences.
In fact, there were instances where some talisman cultivators perished in battle due to rune conflicts that obliterated them completely.
As the shortcomings of talisman cultivation gradually became apparent, the once dazzling Fuzong quickly fell into decline. The mountain gate became desolate, and even the abandoned bodies dared not approach, as talisman cultivation was far too dangerous; no one wanted to risk being completely obliterated during their practice.
At this time, "Fu" had long since passed away, and most of the pioneers were gone as well.
This esteemed pioneer had already turned gray when he discovered the concept of "wind." Before Fuzong reached its peak, he left this world with a smile, having ultimately realized his dream and pointed a path for the abandoned bodies.
Fortunately, he did not have to witness the arrogance that Fuzong later displayed; it would have surely angered him to death. These unworthy disciples completely betrayed his spirit.
The most important principle of talisman cultivation should be to explore the endless world of runes with a sincere heart. Yet, what had this group done? The achievements of the pioneers were tarnished in such a way that it was simply absurd.
After Fuzong's decline, it languished for a long time. Even most of the original talisman cultivators left Fuzong, and eventually, the mountain gate fell into disrepair. The world nearly forgot its existence.
However, unbeknownst to anyone, a young man named "Hui" resolutely took on the position of sect leader of Fuzong. He revived the spirit of research from Fuzong's earlier days and led the few remaining talisman cultivators who still held their ground into the world of runes.
Moreover, learning from past lessons, Fuzong established sect rules. From then on, Fuzong would no longer flaunt itself before the world; it completely withdrew from public view and ceased to accept disciples who came seeking guidance.
In the future, every disciple passed down by Fuzong would be secretly recruited by designated members of the sect. Only those with excellent character and temperament would be invited to join.
Thus, Fuzong completely vanished from public sight and even moved its mountain gate deep into the mountains. The most important task within the sect became the study of runes.
Later on, this astonishing young man proposed two concepts addressing the shortcomings of talisman cultivation: the concept of "formation" and the establishment of three realms within talisman cultivation.
