A poison cultivator studying the Heretic Dao could not simply learn how to create stronger toxins.
They would also need to learn how to create stronger antidotes in order to resonate with their version of the Dao. Only then could they make progress in their Heretic Poison Dao.
A fire cultivator would need to study both destruction and warmth. A water cultivator would need to study both nourishment and drowning.
A life cultivator would need to study death. A death cultivator would need to study life.
The requirements were absurd.
No wonder so few people followed the Heretic path. And of those who did, few managed to keep their sanity. The amount of work involved was terrifying.
Aksai laughed softly.
"So I basically have to study twice as much and consider two contradictory statements to be true at the same time. It's like studying wave-particle duality or Schrodinger's Cat from my previous world all over again."
