[cultivation is a journey of Discovery, but not just to those who practice Qi, but they who believe in the power of magic and manipulate Mana. Each new day is a lesson, you learn a dozen new things about yourself and about the world you suddenly find yourself in. It's secrets exposed to you in bits and pieces until the thirst for knowledge becomes so strong; you would strive to push past and break every obstacle in your way.
And this is because in any world, cultivation or normal, the pursuit of knowledge is always a prerequisite to obtaining power, and there's no better way to gain such power, than by finding out the secrets of this world we live in, and the universe that embraces it.]
