Chapter 46: Earth Immortal Inheritance
Seven days later!
Ye Qingxuan, who was cultivating, suddenly felt a massive yet gentle energy pour into his body out of nowhere, constantly merging and transforming with his spiritual power.
Slightly startled, Ye Qingxuan reacted and began to fully activate the Earth Source Art to cooperate with this energy, breaking through his own bottleneck.
Very quickly, after only a brief moment, the spiritual power in Ye Qingxuan's dantian began to condense into the first drop of liquid spiritual power.
Immediately after the first drop of liquid spiritual power successfully coalesced, a spiritual rain began to fall within Ye Qingxuan's dantian. Drop by drop, the liquefied spiritual power fell continuously, gathering into a small pool of spiritual power within his dantian.
At the same time, Ye Qingxuan's physical body began to voraciously devour spiritual power from both the outside world and within himself.
Micro-particles of various elements within the spiritual power were continuously absorbed by Ye Qingxuan's physical body, carried into the mustard-seed space deep within his flesh, and began to constantly perfect his physique.
As the human micro-universe continued to perfect itself, Ye Qingxuan's body also began to undergo a transformation. The strength of his flesh, the resilience of his meridians, the hardness of his bones, and even all his organs, improved by a tier.
The Earth Source Art that Ye Qingxuan cultivates appears to be an Earth-attribute technique, but it is actually a non-attribute technique that incorporates a special Earth-attribute spell.
Currently, most techniques in the Earth-Xuan Realm are non-attribute techniques; only a very small minority are attribute techniques.
Since spiritual energy inherently contains all the elements of the world, cultivating non-attribute techniques is the most stable method and allows for the maximum utilization of spiritual energy.
Cultivating non-attribute techniques not only allows cultivators to cast spells of all attributes, but during cultivation, the spiritual energy continuously integrates into the human body, causing the body to constantly transform and evolve as the realm advances.
In contrast, while cultivating attribute techniques is a radical approach that can unleash shocking power in the early stages, it restricts the cultivator to casting only spells corresponding to that specific attribute.
Spiritual energy already contains elemental particles of all kinds from its world; attribute techniques simply force all these elemental particles within the spiritual energy to assimilate into a single attribute.
Having spiritual power of only one attribute not only fails to nourish the body but continuously disrupts the body's balance, causing the cultivator's physique to become extremely weak.
Therefore, when attribute techniques are cultivated to the later stages, severe cases can cause bodily imbalance, leading to qi deviation or even the body exploding and death.
By cultivating non-attribute techniques, a cultivator can cast spells of any attribute, which is a huge advantage. It also reduces the process of attribute techniques assimilating elemental attributes from the spiritual energy, accelerating the speed of cultivation!
Precisely for these reasons, most attribute techniques were long ago eliminated by the various top powers of the Earth-Xuan Realm throughout its long history of the Immortal Dao.
The reason the Xuan Tian Sect requires disciples with Earth-attribute spiritual roots to cultivate the Earth Source Art is simply that possessing the corresponding spiritual root allows one to cast the corresponding attribute spells with twice the result for half the effort.
Without the corresponding spiritual root, one can still cultivate such attribute spells, but the difficulty of cultivation will be greater.
The two main effects of spiritual roots are to increase the attraction and refinement speed of spiritual energy, and to allow one to cast corresponding attribute spells with twice the result for half the effort.
Inside the Qingxuan Blessed Land! As time flowed, after Ye Qingxuan completely absorbed all the primordial essence feedback generated when the Blessed Land formed,
the aura surrounding him suddenly erupted and expanded outward. A pressure far exceeding the peak of Qi Refining spread from his body into the air.
Ye Qingxuan slowly opened his eyes. Two beams of dazzling light flickered for a moment before slowly vanishing under his control, revealing his bright eyes.
Sensing his cultivation base, Ye Qingxuan smiled with joy and said lightly, "Mid-stage Foundation Establishment! The effect is quite good!"
That's right. Since he had contracted a Late-stage First-Rank Spiritual Land, the Blessed Land became a Late-stage First-Rank Blessed Land upon formation. Consequently, the feedback of primordial essence was greater, allowing Ye Qingxuan to reach Mid-stage Foundation Establishment in one fell swoop.
Due to the special connection with his life-bound clone, the Eternal Turtle, he could enjoy all the benefits of the contracted Blessed Land while letting the Eternal Turtle bear all the constraints of the Blessed Land.
After breaking through, Ye Qingxuan was about to rise and inspect his Qingxuan Blessed Land, but unexpectedly, the dark-yellow bead that had remained silent in his mind began to trem violently. In the next moment, before Ye Qingxuan could react, a massive torrent of information poured out from this mysterious bead and flooded his mind space.
Ye Qingxuan immediately fell into an unconscious slumber, passively receiving this massive influx of information.
Three days and three nights later, Ye Qingxuan slowly regained consciousness.
Ignoring the throbbing pain in his mind, Ye Qingxuan's eyes were filled with excitement.
He knew it; the mysterious bead that had traveled with him from another world would never disappoint him.
Indeed, his guess was not wrong. The surprise was even greater than he had imagined.
From the information he received, he learned that this dark-yellow bead was the World Bead, containing all the inheritances of the Earth Immortal Dao.
It included not only the cultivation methods of Earth Immortals but also complete inheritances covering alchemy, artifact forging, array formations, talismans, spiritual plants, beast taming, and every other aspect.
Currently, he had only received some special information and all inheritances below the Immortal Realm. The remaining inheritances had transformed into a halo, condensing behind the solidified soul essence body in Ye Qingxuan's mind space.
The reason the World Bead reacted the first time he heard the word 'Blessed Land' was because the Blessed Land is one of the keys to cultivating the Earth Immortal Dao.
It can be said that the Blessed Cultivation methods developed by generations in the Earth-Xuan Realm are actually incomplete versions of the Earth Immortal cultivation method.
The true Earth Immortal cultivation method involves not only the Blessed Land but also the Grotto-Heaven!
Only when the Grotto-Heaven and the Blessed Land are combined is it the true Earth Immortal Dao.
And the World Bead in his mind is the supreme treasure best suited for opening a Grotto-Heaven!
Only after opening a Grotto-Heaven can the Grotto-Heaven and the Blessed Land complement each other. This would not only greatly enhance the auxiliary cultivation effect for the cultivator but also significantly reduce defects.
Just as Blessed Cultivation suffers from the Blessed Land absorbing energy, causing the cultivation speed to be a hundred times slower, the Earth Immortal method allows the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land to complement each other. With energy flowing and supplementing each other, this situation can be perfectly avoided.
Moreover, under the combined effect of the Grotto-Heaven and the Blessed Land, the speed at which a cultivator's spiritual roots grow will also increase significantly.
The benefits do not end there. When the Blessed Land advances, it provides primordial essence feedback; similarly, when the Grotto-Heaven advances, it also provides primordial essence feedback.
The Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land are divided into ten ranks. If both are fully opened and cultivated to the tenth rank, they will provide enough primordial essence feedback to elevate Ye Qingxuan's cultivation base twenty times.
Furthermore, when the tenth-rank Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land merge into one, they can transform into a small minor world, making Ye Qingxuan the lord of that world.
By then, it would be difficult for him not to soar to new heights.
Of course, it is not so easy for the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land to advance smoothly.
The only drawback of the Earth Immortal Dao is that as the realm advances and the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land continuously upgrade, the bond between the cultivator and the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land becomes deeper and deeper.
In the end, success depends on the Grotto-Heaven and Blessed Land, and failure also depends on them, making ultimate transcendence difficult.
