370: Spiritual Root Target

[You were right.]

[From the moment you stepped into Tianshu City, the tianshu giant eye captured some fragmented and strange visions from you.]

[It has waited for far too long.]

[Countless people have come and gone in this Tianshu City.]

[You are the only glimmer of hope it has seen in its long years of imprisonment.]

[After a long time, that vast voice finally rang out again, carrying a hint of compromise: "Very well."]

["But you must swear by the Heavenly Dao."]

[Without hesitation, you immediately pointed your fingers toward the sky with a solemn expression. Your voice echoed clearly in the courtyard and reached deep into the mysterious rules of the universe:]

["Heavenly Dao above!"]

["I, Junior Qin Chen, swear here today: Within a hundred years, I will do my utmost to help Senior escape and take action to that end. If I violate this oath..."]

[You paused, saying each word with iron-clad determination: "I shall be abandoned by the Heavenly Dao, my body shall perish and my Dao shall vanish, my Divine Soul shall be extinguished, and I shall never be reincarnated!"]

[The moment the oath fell, you felt an invisible shackle gently descend from the void, creating a mysterious connection with your path of Dao.]

["Good." The voice of the tianshu giant eye seemed to soften slightly.]

[Immediately following that, you felt a coolness at your brow as a massive and obscure flow of information, like a bursting flood, crashed into your Sea of Consciousness!]

[The information swirled and finally condensed into ancient and profound characters that seemed to be outlined by the laws of nature themselves—]

[Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique · Volume Two]

[You reviewed the contents of the Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique in your mind, and your heart couldn't help but tremble.]

[This secret technique was indeed powerful, but the risks were also enormous.]

[You also discovered several key points:]

[1. The greater the difference in cultivation between the two parties, the higher the probability of failure.]

[2. The stronger the Spiritual Root, the higher the probability of failure.]

[3. The greater the gap in Spiritual Root quality, the higher the probability of failure.]

[After pondering repeatedly, you determined one thing—starting from changing to a Heavenly Spiritual Root, the probability of failure becomes extremely high.]

[For example, the Ranks of Spiritual Roots are roughly ordered like this:]

[Mortal Grade Waste Spiritual Root → Five Elements Spiritual Root → Pseudo Spiritual Root → Mixed Spiritual Root → True Spiritual Root → Heavenly Spiritual Root → Variant Spiritual Root → Immortal Spiritual Root → Chaos Spiritual Root.]

[To put it simply:]

[Waste Spiritual Roots contain at least six attributes, which are mottled and chaotic, restraining each other, making cultivation extremely slow.]

[Five Elements Spiritual Roots consist of the five attributes: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.]

[Pseudo Spiritual Roots are Spiritual Roots with four attributes.]

[Mixed Spiritual Roots are Spiritual Roots with three attributes.]

[True Spiritual Roots are Spiritual Roots with two attributes.]

[Heavenly Spiritual Roots are Spiritual Roots with a single Five Elements attribute, such as pure Fire or pure Gold.]

[Variant Spiritual Roots are Spiritual Roots with a single special attribute like Wind, Ice, Lightning, Dark, or Light.]

[Each type of Spiritual Root is further divided into four grades: Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, and Top Grade.]

[But even a Top Grade True Spiritual Root is not as effective as a Low Grade Heavenly Spiritual Root.]

[Furthermore, Heavenly Spiritual Roots are almost always of High Grade quality.]

[In addition, Spiritual Roots not only concern cultivation but also affect the power of one's Natal Divine Ability and Spells of the corresponding attribute, though it doesn't mean one cannot learn Spells of other attributes.]

[It's just that few people do so because the power would be greatly reduced and it's a waste of time.]

[Therefore, unless it is a particularly necessary method, very few people will Cultivate Spells that do not match their Spiritual Root attribute.]

[You are currently a Mortal Grade Waste Spiritual Root. If you only upgrade to a Five Elements Spiritual Root, you will basically succeed.]

[Upgrading to a Pseudo Spiritual Root or a Mixed Spiritual Root also has a high probability of success.]

[But if you want to jump directly from a Waste Spiritual Root to a Heavenly Spiritual Root, it is almost a certain death sentence.]

[Because the gap is too large, it is extremely difficult to achieve Fusion, and it is easy to "burst" your Foundation.]

[At that point, at best your cultivation will be completely ruined, and at worst your body will perish and your Dao will vanish.]

[Although you do not yet know the specific conditions for breaking through to the Void Refining Realm, there is an iron law in the cultivation world—]

[Spiritual Roots determine the upper limit of one's Realm.]

[In other words, you must solve the problem of your Spiritual Root now.]

[Otherwise, even if you have a lifespan of two thousand years, you might not be able to step into the Void Refining Realm.]

[After thoroughly understanding the Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique, you immediately decided to lower your target first—to upgrade to a True Spiritual Root.]

[There are many people who possess a True Spiritual Root.]

[For example, the people you know like Immortal Master Yulong, Fairy Zhiyun, Vast Emptiness Master, and so on, all have them.]

[Looking at it this way, it becomes much easier.]

[You smiled faintly, having already formed the next step of your plan.]

[The twenty-first year,]

[You have been following the Zhiyun Pavilion for almost a year.]

[The reason you chose to focus on the Zhiyun Pavilion is that the target you've selected is Fairy Zhiyun—she possesses a Fire and Wood dual-attribute True Spiritual Root.]

[At the same time, you are secretly gathering the Heaven And Earth Treasures required for the Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique.]

[As of now, you are still missing three items: creation divine nectar, five elements vital essence, and world origin.]

[You didn't expect that this secret technique would actually require a wisp of world origin.]

[What makes you even more helpless is that this thing simply cannot be bought.]

[It's not that it doesn't exist, but that no one dares to put it up for sale.]

[Not only that, but packaging world origin is also extremely difficult—it must be sealed in a special jade box using methods that obscure heavenly secrets.]

[Otherwise, once detected by the Heavenly Dao, it will incur immense Karma and punishment.]

[As for the other two items, although they are also precious, there are ways to get them.]

[For instance, the five elements vital essence—if your target is Fairy Zhiyun, you only need to use the secret method from the Heaven-Seizing Creation Technique to refine it out of her body.]

[Then there's the creation divine nectar; it's hard for ordinary people to obtain, but not for you.]

[You plan to have Liu Ruyan bring it to you the next time you meet—because the Liu Clan Immortal Family has it, and it's easy for her to get.]

[In fact, the so-called creation divine nectar is simply the breast milk of a Soul Transformation Stage female cultivator.]

[Because the breast milk of a Soul Transformation Cultivator contains a wisp of Life Origin, which helps in the Fusion of Spiritual Roots.]

[People just gave it a fancy name.]

[This day,]

[A female cultivator with an exquisite figure and affectionate eyes walked lightly into the Zhiyun Pavilion.]

[The one who came was Zhong Linger.]

[Behind Zhong Linger, she only brought one guard. You recognized this person; it was Yang Yan.]

[After she entered the Zhiyun Pavilion, she gave a brief instruction to Yang Yan: "Wait here!"]

[Yang Yan nodded with a face full of joy: "Understood!"]

[Before his voice even faded, Zhong Linger walked straight upstairs.]

[Her goal was clear: she was going to the ninth floor to find Fairy Zhiyun.]

[Fairy Zhiyun happened to be in the pavilion today.]

[In her spare time, she usually spent most of her time in the Alchemy room on the ninth floor, tinkering with the furnace fire.]

[However, she wasn't performing Alchemy today. She was just sitting idly on the outdoor terrace, resting her chin on her hand, gazing blankly at the street scene in the city from a distance.]

[Zhong Linger reached the ninth floor and, upon seeing her, gave a proper salute: "Linger greets the Fairy."]

[Fairy Zhiyun withdrew her gaze and smiled, raising her hand to gesture for her to rise: "Linger, you've come. Sit."]

[Zhong Linger sat down gracefully and, without much small talk, directly took out a qiankun ring and handed it over: "Fairy, this is this year's allocation. Please check it."]
