Scholar

As a part of Abstruse Cultivation, a Scholars goal is utlimately the creation of Dao. Seeking understanding on the world, finding its flaws and attempting its remedy. A Scholar's path is that of rejecting the current world and forging their own.

Some of the most ancient of beings leading the world, countries and clans. Despite the mystical powers of Cultivators, the sheer brute force of Martial Artists and constant threat of Ghosts and Demons, they hold high esteam, as the origin of all Cultivators and still important leaders of nations and teachers of people.

### Learning

The first step has and will always be to take up the pen and learn. Through trial and error, repetiton, sermons and observation. Learn to live, to eat, drink, talk, dance, write, understand. All those who learn, are learning.

### Comprehending

Going beyond merely absorbing knowledge, means comprehending what isn't said, read between the lines, reach ones own conclusions and comprehend the essence. Dao can't be taught, only witnessed. Wisdom can't be taught only attained.

### Understanding

To comprehend is but the first step. Jumbled words, thoughts and phrases. No coherence, clear idea or ideal. To go beyond comprehension and seek order. Fromulate your thoughts, to yourself, to others, form understanding. Form connections, as nothing stands alone. See intend, in what you have been taught. See the world the other envisioned.

To understand thus is to understand Dao. One Abstruse, founded upon nothing and foreign to this world. Based upon nought but idea and dream.

But natural. A dream to capture the natural world, impose awe onto the very Heavens and bend the world to its dreams, for that it may give a Hand.

Now the understanding of Dao has reached far enough, for one to reach a new understanding on the world itself. Interwoven rules and laws, complements and truths everywhere. And all connected by Qi. Now the Scholar is able to make use of Qi and transform it for their own use. Like Foundation-Establishment they go beyond mere mundanity, mortality.

### Creating

But is remains foreign. Understanding, perhaps on par with its creater, but still distant and far. It flows not like water, feels not natural, like a falsehood mixed within truth.

It's not mine. Understanding Dao, the world, but yet to understand oneself. A Dao, not the. Abstruse is the creation of the new. Thus one must create their own Dao, not as they understand, but as they envision it. As they, like, want, demand, force the word to be. A dream, always held, turned reality.

Ones own Dao is special. Truly ones own, truly alike, truly right. A puzzlepiece to complete the whole and go beyond mere learning.

At his stage a Scholar mixes their own Dao with that they have comprehended, transforming their Dao-Qi to aid them in their edavear of creation.

### Teaching

Learning, an eternal constant. Its beginning lies in ones birth, its end in ones death. A life filled with learning, with teachers. After creation comes dispersal. How the world should be, how it is envisioned. The truth trapped in its prison of flesh, of decaying finiteness. But Dao ought to be eternal. Thus teach Dao, for ones own sake, for the worlds sake, for the Dao's sake.

The last transformation of ones Qi into ones true Dao-Qi symbolises this step. This Dao-Qi is fully void of the influence of any other Dao, true Dao-Qi.

So called Pseudo Scholarly Sages have thus attained the pinical of the Mortal Plane, often imparting their Dao in hopes of raising the next generation of Scholars. In the future they may follow the path of Omniscience or Devil. They have also attained Immortality, though few remain for longer but a few centuries, before further persuing the path.
