"Cultivation?"
Hu Ma didn't expect Calculation to come up with this answer.
The concept of cultivation was tied to one's skills.
The human limit was **Three Column Tao**, but through certain methods, one could attain **four columns**, or even more.
Moreover, while cultivation was indeed significant, in crucial moments, having more cultivation meant better stamina. However, in cases where **dharma methods** were similar and skills indistinguishable, even highly advanced **dharma methods** and exquisite techniques could render cultivation somewhat redundant.
Take me, for instance. Whether as a **walking ghost** or during **Shousui**, my methods were the finest. When dueling, the outcome was usually decided swiftly, without reaching the point of pitting cultivations against each other.
