Wang Meng listened to "Shan Lin's" lecture, and much of it made a lot of sense. It was completely different from what he had been taught at the Holy Hall. One could say the creators of the Cultivation Academy were operating from a very high perspective. Judging by the hidden meanings in the lecture, it seemed they clearly understood what ascension was all about.
This was different from his Godhood. The level of the Godhood was too high—so high that while Wang Meng could sense certain things, he found them very difficult to understand. Still, it had broadened his horizons, and the way Shan Lin's lecture confirmed his own insights thrilled Wang Meng to no end.
What was the point of cultivation?
Whether one followed the Celestial Dao or defied it, it was all just about becoming stronger.
Therefore, the Cultivation Academy treated Elemental Power as a type of power to be wielded, discarding all the pompous, grandiose claims used to fool mortals.
