Actually that's where it'll help them even more. We have to make arts that fit us better. Meizhen's got arts available to her that already fit her very well because of her status as part snake spirit (which comes with both natural arts and cultivation bonuses), and CRX had her basic build planned by a control freak White who probably made sure she would fit whatever arts Shenhua wanted her to have.
The thing is, it's easy to assume that Meizhen didn't train much spiritual/physical after getting to appraisal in the outer sect, as she was getting ready to fight Liling for the tournament (like we decided to focus on the tournament rather than base too).
I believe Bai has Archive of their own. All Meizhen need to do is request Arts that she think would suit her more. Bai has very long history, i believe they have Arts of all possible elements and keywords, if only so they would know how to counter them. Of course Bai expected to follow some theme (Dark, Water and Yin Wood Arts if i remember correctly) and their Archive would reflect it, but if some Bai wants to use something in addition to that - i believe that they wouldn't need to look anywhere else.
Music arts are a bit of an exceptions, as the Bais are notoriously tone death (that's Yrsillar's explicit reason about why they don't have those).
Ok, they aren't collecting music Arts. It doesn't mean that they didn't have many different Arts of different elements. Moreover Meizhen has her sister, who is known for her Metal Arts. I don't believe Metal is very 'Bai' element. In their history they had to have other cultivators with different elements and different themes to their Arts, and at least part of these Arts end up in Archive.
Yeah. Meizhen isn't gonna be the first Bai to run Earth.
CRX has always lagged behind. Well, 'always'. She spent a lot of time in bureaucracy stuff. For example, Meizhen was Green Week 19, Bronze week 21. CRX was Green Week 23? and Bronze week 29. Basically, cultivation-wise there was almost as much difference between Meizhen and CRX as between CRX and Ling Qi.
She had to. But even if Meizhen has some radical views for Bai, i think that Arts of Bai Way still suit her well, especially with that Fear theme to her Domain. I expect that later she will need to create her own Arts, but not in foreseeable future.
Its about modification of existing Arts, not of creating new ones.
It reminds me about Arts from Cai Archive and how long we waiting for them already.
Yes manipulation of Arts unlocked on Green 3, but it just allows us to change one of Keywords.
So for some reason it is not in the tutorial section. I went back into the first thread in order to find the full list. I am sure Yrs has mentioned it here but I can't find it in the threadmarks.
Yes manipulation of Arts unlocked on Green 3, but it just allows us to change one of Keywords.
No. Arts is so much more then manipulation of meridians, which you are talking about and which is 'unwise until Treshold Green'.
Anyway, don't you think it would be too easy if we could create our own Arts this early?
"However. It is unwise to attempt to reshape your meridians before the Threshold Stage of Green Soul. Until you reach this level, do not attempt direct manipulation of meridians. Until that time, satisfy yourself with simply making your arts more efficient."
Nowhere in this Meizhen said that we would be able to create Arts. I believe it's about us being able to change Meridian Keywords though. And that is very cool in its own right.
Ah, i remember him now. Thanks for correcting me.
A little vague. But if you are right it would be interesting.
