A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality

Chapter 127: The Story of Spiritual Roots

Just like that, the two of them were chatting while walking. In fact, it was chatting, but Han Li was asking questions and the young man was answering.

From the young man's mouth, Han Li let the other party get some information about the world of cultivating immortals without realizing it, and learned a lot of common sense things that cultivators should know.

For example: Immortal cultivators should be divided into three stages: lower realm, middle realm, and upper realm according to their realm.

The lower realm includes five levels of refining Qi, building foundation, forming alchemy, Yuanying, and transforming gods. After reaching this level, you can ascend to the fairy world and live the same life as the heaven and the earth.

But it's easy to say, but it's out of reach when it comes to real practice!

Not to mention the promotion of the three major realms, it is the initial lower realm, which has been cultivated to the top stage of becoming a god. According to the young man, there has never been a single person in the entire Yue Kingdom. Even those who lingered in the Nascent Soul stage were very few, only a few old monsters with deep blessings.

According to the young man, the lifespan of a cultivator is closely related to the realm of cultivation. The improvement of each level of realm means that your lifespan will increase exponentially.

For a secular mortal who can live to be more than a hundred years old, that is a rare longevity in the world.

It is normal for a cultivator who successfully established a foundation to live to be more than two hundred years old. If someone is lucky enough to form a golden elixir, there is great hope for them to live to be four or five hundred years old. If there is another miracle that makes you go against the sky and become a Nascent Soul, then congratulations, even if you want to celebrate a thousand-year-old birthday, it is not impossible!

When the boy in white said this, he couldn't help smacking his lips, envious of those old monsters who could live to be a thousand or eight hundred years old. This is ten times the lifespan of ordinary people!

Han Li was stunned as he listened. Although he vaguely guessed that the lifespan of a cultivator must be longer than that of ordinary people, he never expected such an outrageous thing to happen! To have a lifespan of thousands of years, wouldn't he really be a thousand-year-old bastard? Han Li couldn't help thinking maliciously.

However, if the Nascent Soul stage can live for so long, wouldn't people in the Transformation Stage and other middle realms, or even upper realms, live even more ridiculously long

Finally, Han Li couldn't hold back, and made a side note to this question.

"Who knows? Maybe he lived longer, maybe he didn't die at all?" the boy said carelessly.

"According to rumors, any immortal cultivator who has really reached the stage of transforming gods and reached the Great Consummation of this realm must leave our world and go to another higher-level dimension. What is the specific space and world? No one knows, and no one has come back.”

"No one has ever come back, so how are these realms above the stage of transformation into gods divided?" Han Li thought a little depressed. He didn't ask out.

In addition to the division of realms for immortal cultivators, Han Li also had a general understanding of the sects and families of immortal cultivators in the Yue Kingdom.

The young man didn't know anything about other places, but as far as the entire Yue Kingdom's sect of cultivating immortals was concerned, the young man spoke clearly and clearly.

From what he said, Han Li knew that in Yue Kingdom, there were seven sects of cultivating immortals, big and small. Zhongzhe Yuezong is the strongest, followed by Lingshoushan, and the other sects are all about the same in strength, and there is no huge gap.

If these sects of cultivating immortals are the towering trees that support the entire world of cultivating immortals in the Yue Kingdom, then there are more or less cultivating families, and the various branches and vines entwined around them need the help of these sects to survive in the world of cultivating immortals.

According to the mysterious young man, as long as the Xiuxian family is a little old, its ancestors are all disciples of these sects, and it is the blood of these disciples that continues.

The reason for this is the "spiritual root" that all cultivators have in common.

What a "spiritual root" is, most cultivators don't know. But they all know that if a person doesn't have "spiritual root", then don't even think about cultivating immortals, because you can't sense spiritual energy at all, let alone cultivate mana!

But people who are born with "spiritual roots" are really too few among ordinary people. It can even be said that they are one in ten thousand, one in tens of thousands. But even so, people with spiritual roots who can embark on the road of cultivating immortals still only account for a small part of them, and the vast majority of people still live a mediocre life. Because it is really difficult to select people with spiritual roots, they are too loosely distributed, which makes those sects of cultivating immortals who want to recruit more disciples a big headache.

And it's not that as long as you have "spiritual roots", you must meet the requirements of the sect of cultivating immortals. Because "spiritual root" and "spiritual root" are quite different, there are good and bad.

Generally speaking, "spiritual roots" are divided into the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Most people's spiritual roots are mixed with these five or four multiple attributes. Although these people can also sense the heaven and earth Reiki, but the effect of cultivation can be said to be appalling. Basically, you can only practice the five elements basic skills in the Qi refining stage to the third or fourth level, and then you will not make any progress. Generally, you have no hope of crossing the foundation building stage in your life.

Therefore, spiritual roots with five or even four attributes are also called "pseudo-spiritual roots" by the immortal world to distinguish them from "true spiritual roots" that have only two or three attributes and can be cultivated relatively quickly.

As for a single spiritual root with only one attribute, it is called "Tiangen" by the world of cultivating immortals, which means the darling of heaven. Because people with this kind of spiritual root, no matter what their attributes, can cultivate two to three times faster than ordinary spiritual root people. Moreover, when one reaches the peak of the foundation-building period, one can easily start to form the alchemy without facing the bottleneck that one would face when entering the alchemy period.

If the astonishingly fast cultivation speed makes other immortal cultivators envious, then the "Tiangen" person's ability to form pills without bottlenecks will make other immortal cultivators feel so jealous that they are about to vomit blood.

You know, if only one of the ten immortal cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage can enter the Foundation Establishment Stage with the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill. Then one hundred people in the foundation building stage may not be able to successfully form alchemy and enter the alchemy stage.

With such a disparity in the proportion of alchemy, how can other immortal cultivators be jealous of the unique advantages of "Tiangen" people.

Therefore, whenever a Tiangen person appears, they are often scrambled for by various sects of cultivating immortals. After all, this is equivalent to pre-ordering a master of the alchemy period for the sect, which can greatly increase the strength of the sect.

However, the chances of the emergence of a heaven-defying spiritual root like the "Heavenly Root" are almost negligible, and basically only one can be discovered by the sect of cultivating immortals every few hundred years. On the other hand, although it is not a "heavenly root", it is not a "variant spiritual root" that does not belong to the five elements. It has a higher probability of appearing, and one can appear every twenty or thirty years.

The so-called "mutated spiritual root" refers to a spiritual root that has been mutated and sublimated by mixing two or three five-element attributes.

For example, the "Thunder Spirit Root" produced by the mutation of "Gold Spirit Root" and "Shui Spirit Root"; "Wind Spirit Root" and other mutant spiritual roots.

Although the immortal cultivator of the "Variation Spiritual Root" does not have the talent to exempt the bottleneck of alchemy, his cultivation speed is not inferior to that of the "Tiangen" people, and if he can find a skill that matches his attributes, these people Most of them will be great masters, usually able to beat three or four ordinary cultivators of the same strength.

Therefore, people with mutated spiritual roots are also extremely welcome by the major cultivating sects.

But in the past, not to mention geniuses such as "heavenly roots" and "variant spiritual roots", the sects of cultivators couldn't find them easily, and ordinary people with "true spiritual roots" were also very difficult to find in various sects.

Because people in Xiuxian sect can't pull out all the children from every household in the secular world to test it! You must know that only one person out of 10,000 people has a spiritual root, and among five or six people with a spiritual root, only one person can be found with a true spiritual root.

Therefore, under such harsh search conditions, there have even been anecdotes in the history of the world of cultivating immortals that there were only a few kittens and puppies left in some small sects, which almost broke the inheritance of the entire sect.

Faced with this embarrassing situation, some thoughtful people finally discovered after painstaking research that this "spiritual root" is very likely to appear in people who inherit the same blood.

For example, if one of a man and a woman has a spiritual root, then there is a 1/4 chance that their child will also have a spiritual root. Of course, if both parents are spiritual root owners, then the chances of their offspring appearing spiritual roots are even greater, and it is not uncommon for all the children born to be spiritual root owners.

The discovery of this matter has greatly excited those who are interested.

Under their urging, many young disciples of the sect at that time were sent out by the elders of their masters to start a family in the secular world. After they had children, they returned to the master's sect to continue their cultivation.

In this way, when these sects of cultivating immortals are short of disciples, they directly select children with spiritual roots from the families of their own disciples, and the ratio of their true spiritual roots has also greatly increased.

In this way, the big problem of the lack of disciples of Xiuxian Sect was finally alleviated.

Although the chances of ordinary people being born with spiritual roots are still so low, in general, more and more people have spiritual roots, and those who inherit the blood of spiritual roots have spiritual root disciples emerging in endlessly. After a long time, the branches and leaves slowly opened up, forming the current cultivating family.

These cultivation families may not have high-level skills, but there is no shortage of shallower cultivation methods, and they have gradually become the peripheral portals of various cultivation schools, and they also have a certain degree of independence.

Therefore, behind every cultivating family, there is usually a sect of cultivating immortals supporting them, which should not be underestimated.

This white-clothed boy hadn't spoken so happily in front of others for a long time.

The feeling of being listened attentively to what he had to say gave him the momentum to keep talking, and his affection for Han Li was greatly increased. Without thinking, he revealed all the things he knew about the world of cultivating immortals He looked like he was showing off in front of Han Li.

Naturally, Han Li was also very happy to listen to it, sometimes interjecting a few provocative words to make the boy speak more cheerfully. But it was a pity that the hillside that was shrouded in mist all day long was not too far from the small village. After walking for several hours, the two still came to the front of the slope.

Such a short distance made Han Li very upset. He hadn't heard enough about the world of cultivating immortals, and he wished he could turn around and start over again. However, of course he knew that this was impossible, so he had no choice but to look at the boy who kept his mouth shut, staring at the mist with shining eyes.
