Chapter 115: Spiritual Root (Subscription Request)
Space travel is quite long and boring, especially after the initial novelty wears off.
After Fang Xing grew tired of the monotonous scenery outside his window, he returned to his cabin and chose to close himself off for cultivation.
Saying he was in seclusion, he actually just lay around casually, his consciousness passing through the Gate of All Heavens, seeing another ‘self’.
The cultivation world.
An underground camp.
“This secret technique is truly miraculous, allowing my main body and clone to have conscious communication, even across two worlds…”
The cultivator clone, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, suddenly opened his eyes.
He was currently lying in a pool of blood.
The blood pool was alluring and eerie…looking extremely frightening.
“However, I feel it’s mainly the Gate of All Heavens’ contribution…it’s like a super signal tower? Connecting the clone and the main body? So it’s still my cheat code that’s powerful?”
Fang Xing got up, climbed out of the blood pool, and pointed casually.
A surge of spiritual power flowed out, transforming into the simplest spell of object manipulation, picking up a silver orb.
A nanotech protective suit instantly adhered to his body, transforming into a silver-white long robe.
“This clone technique is not bad, but it can only create one guardian deity, otherwise, I would make ten or eight clones, and then I would truly be invincible…”
He shook his head, slightly regretful.
After all, the name of this secret technique was ‘Heavenly Mother’s Virtuous Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Origin’. If he wanted to obtain a second clone, he would probably have to put this secret technique back into the Great Sun Furnace and deduce a ‘Three Life Guardian Origin’ or similar secret technique.
“Fortunately, one is enough for now.”
Fang Xing picked up a Spirit Testing Symbol. His body had already been tested; it possessed a Gold-attribute Celestial Spiritual Root!
The reason for another test was that after cultivating spiritual power, he immediately started using the blood sacrifice secret technique of the Wanfa Sage, daily refining and improving his spiritual root.
By today, all the materials had been completely used up.
After slightly inputting spiritual power, the Spirit Testing Symbol transformed into a beam of light, falling upon him.
Almost instantly, a golden light appeared, shooting straight towards his head, reaching a foot high!
Even more, it directly exceeded a foot, about a foot and three or four inches!
“The Spirit Testing Symbol classifies spiritual root talent based on the color and intensity of spiritual power. I only have one color, a single-attribute Celestial Spiritual Root, and the aptitude even surpasses a Celestial Spiritual Root…but it doesn’t seem to have reached a certain limit.”
Originally, Fang Xing thought that after sacrificing those clones, his spiritual root aptitude would reach a higher level.
But the facts proved he thought too much. Although it was indeed slightly stronger than a Celestial Spiritual Root, it seemed to be only marginally stronger.
“Is it insufficient raw materials? Or is it lacking some innate treasure?”
Fang Xing was very interested in this and wanted to explore it.
“Raw materials are definitely enough, even in the entire cultivation world, there are no better resources than mine…at most, they sacrifice blood relatives, but I sacrifice ‘myself’, not only without any rejection reaction, but also without any karmic debt…”
As for whether cultivators can achieve ‘cloning’?
In Fang Xing’s knowledge, it’s almost impossible.
Cultivators in this world are mostly specialized in combat strength, and their healing abilities are also decent, but their biochemical research capabilities are questionable.
At least, as far as Fang Xing knows, for Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators, limb regeneration is not a difficult task.
But to create something from nothing, or to create a body from just a drop of blood.
That probably only the legendary divine medicines that can revive the dead and regenerate flesh and bones can achieve!
And such divine medicines are unlikely to appear in the hands of low-level cultivators, they are the lifeblood of high-level cultivators!
Why would they be used to exchange for a Celestial Spiritual Root body?
For cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above, what does the aptitude of a Celestial Spiritual Root even matter? Is it more important than their own life?
If they want to possess a Celestial Spiritual Root, they can directly find one among their subordinate forces or sect disciples, and then the Nascent Soul can leave the body and perform the possession.
Even those powerful figures in the demonic path, who are very skilled in killing people and refining magic treasures, would be completely lost if asked to learn cloning, as their profession is completely unrelated.
After all, if Nascent Soul cultivators could use a drop of blood and flesh to clone, why wouldn’t the Nascent Soul True Lords of both the righteous and demonic paths prepare a drop of their blood and flesh in advance as a substitute body, instead of having to possess the bodies of their own excellent Celestial Spiritual Root disciples after their physical bodies are destroyed?
Possessing their own clone would certainly have no rejection reaction, making it the optimal choice.
The only explanation is that it simply cannot be done!
“Cultivators below the Transformation God stage, either by chance or by using some heavenly treasure, can conduct individual experiments at a huge cost…the input and output are not proportional…”
“As for those above the Transformation God stage, or even the legendary immortals…perhaps they can manipulate creation with a wave of their hand, creating a large number of Celestial Spiritual Root bodies, like cloning…but for them, it would be even more useless.”
“They have more convenient methods to allow mortals to directly obtain spiritual roots…an immortal who can create countless Celestial Spiritual Roots can easily create spiritual roots that are even superior to Celestial Spiritual Roots, isn’t that quite normal?”
“Therefore, at the low-level stage, there are no better resources than mine.”
“Could this be the peak of my spiritual root?”
Since that’s the case, Fang Xing stopped thinking about it.
After cleaning up the blood pool and cultivation chamber, he went to a quiet room and began to meditate and cultivate.
“To become a cultivator from a mortal, one only needs to use the spiritual root to sense the spiritual energy in the void and draw it into the body…”
Fang Xing was no longer a Qi Refinement First Layer cultivator.
From the first time he cultivated, he had felt the endless stream of Gold-attribute spiritual energy in the void, vying to enter his body.
Then, Qi Refinement First Layer, Second Layer, Third Layer…it was as easy as eating and drinking water.
Today, after a short meditation, he directly broke through to the Qi Refinement Fourth Layer realm!
As for bottlenecks, he didn’t feel any at all.
“Legend has it that Celestial Spiritual Root cultivators have no bottlenecks before forming their Golden Core…it’s true!”
“As someone with a special spiritual root whose aptitude is even better than that of a Celestial Spiritual Root, my cultivation speed is so fast, it’s quite normal…”
Fang Xing took out a light gold jade slip and began to carefully study it.
The cultivation technique he was currently practicing was called the ‘Golden Transformation Art’, a very ordinary Gold-attribute cultivation technique that was once collected by the Wanfa Sage. Its only advantage was that it was complete, explaining everything from the Qi Refinement First Layer to the Foundation Establishment Perfection, and even how to break through to the Golden Core.
As for the power and accompanying magical powers, they were only average, and there were no sword cultivation techniques.
At this thought, Fang Xing felt a little frustrated.
“Wanfa Sage had a mixed spiritual root, and his main cultivation technique was the ‘Primordial Art’. My Celestial Spiritual Root is actually not suitable…”
“I remember when I went to kill the Green Rock Ox with Old Rong and Su Ye, there was also a Qingxuan Sect true disciple, whose swordsmanship was extremely sharp. It was obviously a Gold-attribute sword cultivation technique…Unfortunately, to show off, and also because the cultivation items were useless to me, I only took Old Rong’s storage bag as a token of appreciation…that young man’s sword cultivation technique, if it exists, should be in Su Ye’s hands…”
Fang Xing secretly noted this.
Cultivators with Gold-attribute spiritual roots are naturally suited for magical battles, especially those who practice sword cultivation!
Therefore, he still wanted to find a good sword cultivation technique, at least to the Nascent Soul level.
But this was not urgent, he could plan it slowly after establishing his foundation.
Besides, although he had many magical artifacts, currently, only a few could be used.
The most precious one was a treasure hairpin, which he named ‘Flying Phoenix Hairpin’, but it could definitely not be used for now.
There was also a ‘Wan Hua Cauldron’, a great opportunity for Wanfa Sage, which was still being explored.
Although the Green Rainbow Sword was a second-order spiritual artifact, it was already ruined and more suitable for his main body.
Besides this, there were various flying swords of the magic artifact level.
Fang Xing just casually picked a top-grade magic artifact flying sword to use.
Although with his current mid-Qi Refinement cultivation, a mid-grade flying sword would be better, perhaps due to the Gold-attribute Celestial Spiritual Root, he found that his consumption was very low when using the flying sword, and his recovery was very fast.
Therefore, even though he was only at the Qi Refinement Fourth Layer, he could barely use the top-grade flying sword-level magic artifact.
“Besides, the cultivation place should also be changed…I am now a cultivator, if I cultivate in a spirit vein, the progress will be faster…”
Fang Xing was already thinking about the Foundation Establishment stage.
Celestial Spiritual Root cultivators have no bottlenecks before forming their Golden Core, so Foundation Establishment most likely does not require Foundation Establishment Pills.
Of course, if there is an opportunity, he would still take one to be safer.
“This body has a hidden flaw, that is, its lifespan is inherently shorter…”
This is a defect of cloning technology, as if Fang Xing has already lived for over ten years.
Even without accelerating his growth, he is still a baby.
“But this is nothing, once I reach the Foundation Establishment stage, I can extend my lifespan by two hundred years…the loss of ten or twenty years of lifespan will be made up for then.”
Fang Xing gently raised his hand, allowing his spiritual power to solidify the water vapor, forming a water mirror.
Cultivators are only particularly proficient in spells of their own spiritual root attribute, while other five-element spells can still be understood to some extent.
In the mirror, there was a silver-robed young man, with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, red lips and white teeth, looking extremely heroic.
“This body, there shouldn’t be any trouble, is he from a loose cultivator background?”
Fang Xing thought, a Celestial Spiritual Root cultivator, as a reserve Golden Core ancestor, would certainly be well protected in the Savage Land, and would not venture into the Savage Land.
Once such an important person is lost, it will certainly alarm the sect and trigger a search, even Golden Core ancestors would take action!
Previously, there was no news of any important figures being lost in the Wanfa Secret Realm, nor did Wanfa Sage have any relevant memories.
Therefore, there’s a high probability this person is a loose cultivator.
“If his background is clean, I can join a Golden Core sect after going out…obtaining resources, without having to do it myself, I can quickly improve…”
Why a Golden Core sect?
Naturally, because the Nascent Soul True Lords of Nascent Soul sects can possess bodies!
And Golden Core sects only have Golden Core cultivators, and not every Golden Core cultivator is a genius like Wanfa Sage!
Thinking of Wanfa Sage, Fang Xing’s expression turned serious.
He knew that this person still had a remnant soul in the secret realm, so he had already set up surveillance.
So far, everything in the secret realm was normal, and no one had appeared.
‘Ghost cultivators find it difficult to stray too far from their transformation place…and Wanfa Sage’s lifespan is exhausted, even if he succeeds in possessing a body, what about his lifespan?’
Fang Xing recalled Wanfa Sage’s memories and felt that his final ‘Ghost Infant Technique’ still had major flaws.
If he really allowed this person to take action, the result after possessing a body would likely not be good, most likely becoming a half-human, half-ghost evil being!
After pondering, Fang Xing stood up, subconsciously glancing at the attribute panel, only to find that it was not there.
“Sigh…”
He let out a long sigh. He had known about this since the beginning of the possession.
Only his main body could see the attribute panel.
“Could this…be the power of my cheat code, the only one in all worlds?!”
Fang Xing felt emotional in his heart.
