Chapter 29

Inside the special space of the Library Pavilion!

Among the books Ye Qingxuan had just read, besides knowledge related to the advancement of spiritual plants and spiritual veins, there were also records of some secrets regarding Dongxuan Fudi cultivators!

It turns out that to contract a spiritual land, become a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator, and transform an ordinary spiritual land into a Dongxuan Fudi, a cultivator must, before Foundation Establishment and while their essence, energy, and spirit are not yet stable, separate a portion of their own essence, energy, and spirit origin to integrate into the spiritual land.

After a portion of the cultivator's essence, energy, and spirit origin integrates into the spiritual land's origin, contracting and controlling the spiritual land.

From then on!

The cultivator and the spiritual land are bound in life, sitting alone in one place, becoming a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator!

The spiritual land fuses with the cultivator's essence, energy, and spirit origin, undergoes a transformation, gains the opportunity to accelerate its advancement, and becomes a Dongxuan Fudi.

And this is the origin of Dongxuan Fudi cultivators and Blessed Lands.

And the reason why Dongxuan Fudi cultivators can use the Dongxuan Fudi to increase their spiritual roots.

Is because a portion of the cultivator's essence, energy, and spirit origin is fused with the Dongxuan Fudi's origin, and the Dongxuan Fudi is also a part of the Di Xuan Realm.

Therefore, the birth of a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator is beneficial to the development of the Di Xuan Realm, and under the feedback of the Di Xuan Realm's origin, the Dongxuan Fudi cultivator's spiritual roots will naturally grow slowly.

The higher the level of the Dongxuan Fudi, the greater the feedback from the Di Xuan Realm, and the faster the growth rate of the Dongxuan Fudi cultivator's spiritual roots.

The reason Ye Qingxuan chose to become a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator is precisely because of this point.

But he did not expect that becoming a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator would actually require fusing his own essence, energy, and spirit origin!

Originally, he had thought about using his clone, the Eternal Turtle, to replace himself in bearing the restrictions of a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator; now, in this situation, he does not know if the origin separated by the Eternal Turtle clone can replace his own essence, energy, and spirit origin?

Forget it, let nature take its course!

Even if the plan for the Eternal Turtle clone to bear the Dongxuan Fudi cultivator restrictions in his stead fails, he is not without other hopes...

With his own little calculations in mind, Ye Qingxuan continued to read on.

After becoming a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator, one does not need to undergo Tribulation Crossing to break through their cultivation base; one can break through naturally.

Because other cultivators break through by plundering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the Di Xuan Realm will naturally send down assessments to see if you have the qualifications to occupy a share of heaven and earth resources.

But in the process of cultivation, a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator also contributes to the Di Xuan Realm from the side, so the Di Xuan Realm naturally will not send down Lei Jie to hinder a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator's breakthrough.

"I didn't expect there to be this unexpected surprise!"

Before reading these books, Ye Qingxuan did not know this point.

This discovery made Ye Qingxuan very happy!

After all, the commotion of Tribulation Crossing is not small; undergoing Tribulation Crossing within the Profound Yi Tianzong would undoubtedly expose him to everyone's eyes, which does not fit the development path he has planned.

Now that he knows Dongxuan Fudi cultivators do not need to undergo Tribulation Crossing to break through, that is naturally for the best; the fewer people who pay attention to him, the better.

Although Ye Qingxuan currently has a very good impression of the Profound Yi Tianzong and feels that the Profound Yi Tianzong is not bad, one must have defenses against others; it is better to keep one's life in one's own hands as much as possible.

Reading further, Ye Qingxuan learned why the cultivation technique he practices, the Earth Source Art, has become the exclusive technique for disciples of the Dongxuan Fudi Institute.

Under normal circumstances, the success rate of a cultivator separating their essence, energy, and spirit origin to integrate into a spiritual land is too low.

After continuous attempts by predecessors, the technique Ye Qingxuan practices, the Earth Source Art, was born.

During the cultivation process of the Earth Source Art, one will continuously ingest a portion of Earth Source Qi to integrate into the cultivator's essence, energy, and spirit, and Earth Source Qi is one of the origins of a spiritual land.

In the process of practicing the Earth Source Art, the cultivator's essence, energy, and spirit are also constantly fusing with Earth Source Qi.

By the time a cultivator practicing the Earth Source Art breaks through to Qi Refining Perfection and is about to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, their essence, energy, and spirit have already fused with enough Earth Source Qi; at this time, contracting a spiritual land and integrating their own essence, energy, and spirit into the spiritual land's origin becomes much easier.

Through generations of observation, it was discovered that cultivators with Earth spiritual roots can achieve twice the result with half the effort when practicing the Earth Source Art, and there is basically no risk of failure when contracting a spiritual land.

This is the real reason why the Profound Yi Tianzong needs to screen disciples with Earth spiritual roots to become Dongxuan Fudi cultivators!

It is not that cultivators with other spiritual roots cannot become Dongxuan Fudi cultivators, but only Earth spiritual root cultivators can achieve a 100% success rate after practicing the Earth Source Art!

Moreover, after a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator falls, the Dongxuan Fudi can be inherited and contracted by other cultivators again.

This is also the only opportunity for a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator to directly contract a Dongxuan Fudi of the Second Order or higher!

Other Dongxuan Fudi cultivators can only start by contracting a First Order spiritual land, transforming the spiritual land into a Dongxuan Fudi, and developing it slowly.

But a Dongxuan Fudi can only be inherited three times; after three times, it will slowly turn into an ordinary spiritual land and merge into the Profound Heaven Mountain Range; many high-order spiritual lands in the Profound Heaven Mountain Range were born this way.

Therefore, this quota for inheriting a predecessor's Dongxuan Fudi is very precious and can save a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator a lot of time; currently, the high-order Dongxuan Fudi cultivators within the Profound Yi Tianzong have basically all been inherited through this accumulation over generations.

Ye Qingxuan has self-awareness; he does not covet such quotas and does not care about the restriction that a Dongxuan Fudi can only be inherited three times.

His, Ye Qingxuan's, Dongxuan Fudi will naturally exist eternally in the world with him; outsiders will never have the chance to inherit his Dongxuan Fudi.

With pages turning continuously in his hand, Ye Qingxuan continued to read on.

Suddenly, Ye Qingxuan paused; he finally discovered the real reason why Dongxuan Fudi cultivators do not have clones walking outside.

It turns out that success comes from the Dongxuan Fudi, and failure also comes from the Dongxuan Fudi!

A portion of the cultivator's essence, energy, and spirit origin is fused with the Dongxuan Fudi's origin, and it is precisely because of this point that the Dongxuan Fudi has become an alternative external avatar for the cultivator.

This is the main reason why Dongxuan Fudi cultivators within the Profound Yi Tianzong do not practice clones to walk outside.

It is not only because the method of practicing clones is very expensive, but also because of the restrictions of the Dongxuan Fudi, which makes ordinary clone and puppet methods useless.

Ordinary clones and puppets simply cannot walk out of the range of the Dongxuan Fudi.

Only an external avatar condensed from one's own essence, energy, and spirit origin can break free from this restriction.

But wanting to practice an external avatar has realm requirements and quantity limits; only Nascent Soul Realm cultivators can condense one external avatar, and Void Penetration Realm mighty figures can condense a second external avatar!

When a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator uses special methods to contract a Dongxuan Fudi, they have already occupied the quota for the first external avatar, so if a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator wants to condense an external avatar again, under normal circumstances, they have to wait until the Void Penetration Realm.

That is a Void Penetration Realm big shot!

With the turtle-speed cultivation rate of a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator, it is enough to make Dongxuan Fudi cultivators despair and directly give up the idea of condensing an external avatar.

And the reason why a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator's cultivation speed is a hundred times slower is because after becoming a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator, 99% of the spiritual energy ingested into the Dongxuan Fudi cultivator's body is absorbed by the Dongxuan Fudi's origin, and the Dongxuan Fudi cultivator can only keep 1%.

However, it is not that there is no solution to a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator's cultivation speed!

The Dongxuan Fudi absorbs the spiritual energy in the Dongxuan Fudi cultivator's body only because the Dongxuan Fudi lacks energy for evolution, so it instinctively absorbs the spiritual energy in the Dongxuan Fudi cultivator's body as accumulation for advancement.

Therefore, as long as a massive amount of energy is provided to the Dongxuan Fudi, the Dongxuan Fudi will naturally no longer absorb the pitifully small amount of energy from the Dongxuan Fudi cultivator!

Moreover, after the Dongxuan Fudi advances, it will provide feedback to the Dongxuan Fudi cultivator, ignoring the restrictions of spiritual roots and directly increasing the Dongxuan Fudi cultivator's cultivation base; this is also one of the main means for a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator to improve their cultivation base.

Not only that, under normal circumstances, when a cultivator takes elixirs, they will accumulate elixir toxins and develop resistance.

Every once in a while, it requires the cultivator to expend energy to practice special techniques or take special purifying elixirs to purify the elixir toxins in their body before they can continue to take elixirs for cultivation!

Regarding this point, as an alchemist, Ye Qingxuan is naturally very clear.

And the reason why he has not yet developed resistance to the Spirit-Increasing Pill is just because the Spirit-Increasing Pill belongs to a special type of elixir, and its effect acts directly on the spiritual roots, not directly helping him increase his cultivation base, so the side effects are much smaller.

However, smaller side effects do not mean there are no side effects at all; as time goes by, Ye Qingxuan's body will sooner or later develop resistance to the Spirit-Increasing Pill!

But the Dongxuan Fudi can help the Dongxuan Fudi cultivator purify their body, help the Dongxuan Fudi cultivator solve the problem of elixir resistance, and allow the Dongxuan Fudi cultivator to use elixirs for cultivation at a high frequency, making up for some of the defects of the Dongxuan Fudi cultivator's slow cultivation!

But all of this, all the methods to solve the slow cultivation of Dongxuan Fudi cultivators, require consuming massive amounts of resources.

To put it bluntly, those disciples who voluntarily become Dongxuan Fudi cultivators and those who are thrown into the Profound Yi Tianzong by the various affiliated forces of the Profound Yi Tianzong to passively become Dongxuan Fudi cultivators.

In the eyes of the various affiliated forces of the Profound Yi Tianzong, they are basically abandoned pawns responsible for producing resources; how could they spend a large amount of resources to cultivate these Dongxuan Fudi cultivator abandoned pawns?

After all, the final ownership of the Dongxuan Fudi does not belong to them.

Compared to these people, the Ye family where Ye Qingxuan is located, although not a major force, has already provided no small amount of support to Ye Qingxuan!

And the Profound Yi Tianzong, cultivating Dongxuan Fudi cultivators is for resources; spending a small amount of resources in the early stage to cultivate Dongxuan Fudi cultivator reserve disciples is already doing their utmost; how could they spend massive resources to improve the cultivation base of Dongxuan Fudi cultivators?

After all, the Profound Yi Tianzong is not a nanny for its disciples, and it is impossible to consider everything for these disciples.

Not only is the Profound Yi Tianzong like this, but other hegemon-level forces are also mostly like this.

This is also the main reason why major hegemon-level forces are willing to cultivate Dongxuan Fudi cultivator reserve disciples in the early stage but are unwilling to spend resources to cultivate low-order Dongxuan Fudi cultivators.

Nothing else, simply because a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator is a huge pit; the resources spent to cultivate a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator into a high-order cultivator are simply too many.

Some low-order resources are fine, but for high-order resources, even for hegemon-level forces like the Profound Yi Tianzong, the inventory is very tight.

If a Dongxuan Fudi cultivator cannot be cultivated into a high-order Dongxuan Fudi cultivator, then the investment in the low-order stage to cultivate one or two Second or Third Order Dongxuan Fudi cultivators is completely meaningless to hegemon-level forces like the Profound Yi Tianzong.

Anyway, relying on the accumulation of time, after the Dongxuan Fudi is inherited three times, high-order Dongxuan Fudi cultivators will naturally be born slowly.

After all, a high-order Dongxuan Fudi has a much greater auxiliary effect on low-order Dongxuan Fudi cultivators.
