Chapter 305: The Nature of the Spiritual Root, Heaven

Long ago, Zhang Taixuan had speculated on what a spiritual root truly was.

Why must one possess a spiritual root to cultivate the immortal path?

Martial practitioners can also absorb spiritual energy in their primordial state—why can't they enter the immortal path?

Can a spiritual root be artificially created?

After carefully observing Jin Guang and combining it with Han Paopao's subsequent story, artificial creation of a spiritual root is feasible.

At least by the time a cultivator reaches Gao Jie, they must complete their spiritual root.

This indicates the immortal world has methods to complete spiritual roots.

The reason it isn't used on ordinary people is simple—the cost.

The materials needed to complete a spiritual root are exorbitantly expensive even for Gao Jie cultivators—who would give such things to low-level cultivators?

Before immense profit, even ordinary master-disciple bonds are unreliable, let alone closer blood ties.

A throne alone can turn siblings into enemies and fathers against sons.

How much more so when faced with the chance at longevity?

How many Gao Jie cultivators would use such an opportunity on their descendants?

Wouldn't they rather use the resources to ascend themselves?
