The grand lecture announced for the Xiling, if merely an illusion, would greatly underestimate the effort Tang Luo put into training disciples.
It should be known that in martial arts, there are three realms: the first is to understand one's mind and nature; the second is to broaden one's horizon and capacity.
Though a higher realm does not affect combat much, it greatly benefits cultivation and one's life.
Thus, the disciples of common sects take careful steps in their journey to see the world.
The first step is called the Classics and History; the second step is called Travel.
The Classics and History imply first reading classics, then history, thus speaking without error according to the wisdom of the sages.
After learning the history, reread the classics, thus holding substance in the heart, unbound by mere texts.
These three steps give rise to a vast capacity.
Traveling next means walking the world to broaden one's horizon and verify the truths within the heart.
