Why don’t I just pass the position of Sect Leader of Taiyii Dao to you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi’s mouth twitched. He’s already the Emperor of Great Yu, what use would the position of Sect Leader of Taiyii Dao be to him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Celestial Master Zhao, you just need to tell me why I can’t seek immortality and the secret of this Spiritless Land, and you can exchange it for a Blood Moon Gu from me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The secret of the Spiritless Land?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xizheng said curiously, \"Doesn’t your Great Yu Imperial Family have records of it, passed down orally, have you forgotten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi’s heart moved, but soon he reacted, \"My father was already gravely ill and spoke unclearly before his death, and I didn’t catch what he said.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Learning from Elder Celestial Master now serves as a confirmation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see... no problem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xizheng chuckled, \"I’m getting quite the advantage here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Spiritless Land, huh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xizheng casually found a stone to sit on, and Zheng Yi, without any airs, sat on another stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhao Xizheng looked even more pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To talk about this, we have to start from over a thousand years ago... no, about three thousand eight hundred years ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to the records of Taiyii Dao’s scriptures, at that time, blood rains fell from the sky, meteorites crumbled, the earth vanished, and there were tides of spiritual qi...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xizheng narrated eloquently, and Zheng Yi listened intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the sun reached the very center of Jinghuang Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a round of explanation, Zheng Yi learned what the Spiritless Land was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Elder Celestial Master Zhao, over three thousand eight hundred years ago, this place was still a Cultivation Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t many cultivators but there weren’t few either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a celestial upheaval occurred, a meteor shower descended in all directions, blood rains fell, and then the spiritual qi dissipated, with no more spiritual qi thereafter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The once flourishing cultivation realm began to transform greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, it was not noticeable, but over time, cultivators could not progress in their cultivation, spirit grass consumed could not regrow, and spirit stone veins depleted one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few hundred years, the entire cultivation world collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless sects and cultivators began to fight and seize the remaining cultivation resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, even a piece of Yellow Essence just ten years old would be fought over by Nascent Soul cultivators!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During that time, the cultivation realm was extremely chaotic, countless major sects were besieged by independent cultivator alliances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Divine Land Continent, known as the Cultivation Holy Land, was shattered by the combined forces of countless high-tier cultivators, turning into several continents and tens of thousands of various-sized islands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Nascent Soul cultivators could be killed by Qi Cultivation cultivators through ambush during the successive battles as spiritual qi dissipated and magical power could not be replenished!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thousand years later, cultivators became extinct and no longer emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mortal nations were born, forming dynasty after dynasty, beginning to take over the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cultivators who once roamed the world vanished, not emerging for hundreds of years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Story after secret emerged from Zhao Xizheng’s mouth, making Zheng Yi’s heart surge with emotion, unable to control himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had crossed over to the prosperous cultivation era three thousand eight hundred years ago, what would he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But most likely, he would just become part of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xizheng took a sip of fine wine and continued, \"By the way, the territory your Great Yu Dynasty occupies now used to belong to a sect called the ’Mayfly Sect.’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The entire Great Yu Dynasty, even the southern Nanzhao Country, Mountain Country, and Yur Country, were once the influence range of the Mayfly Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember there’s an organization in the martial arts world called ’Mayfly Tower,’ that’s an assassin group formed by the surviving cultivators of Mayfly Sect, aiming to assassinate your emperors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehehe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xizheng laughed, \"Over a thousand years ago, more than a hundred independent cultivator alliances and cultivator families joined forces and took advantage of the Mayfly Tower high-tier cultivators and Mountain and Sea Sect cultivators being severely injured in battle to capture the Mayfly Sect’s mountain gate, annihilating Mayfly Sect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Afterwards, the former influence range of the entire Mayfly Sect was occupied by only a dozen or so remaining cultivator families, who took much of the Mayfly Sect’s heritage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, a few hundred years later, it just ended up benefiting your Zheng Family and a few other royal families.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi’s heart stirred, and he suddenly asked, \"Elder Celestial Master Zhao, have you heard of the ’Dongyun Clan’?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dongyun Clan? Yes, of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xizheng rolled his eyes at Zheng Yi, \"Isn’t that the family exterminated by your Zheng Family, when there were only three early-stage Qi Cultivation cultivators left in the Dongyun Clan, and your Zheng Family overwhelmed them with sheer numbers, thus founding the Great Yu Dynasty.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk tsk tsk, Great Yu was founded over three hundred years ago, I wonder what the world is like today?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi couldn’t be bothered to reply, still sorting through the information he obtained from Zhao Xizheng’s words today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few moments, he suddenly asked again, \"Just now Elder Celestial Master Zhao said I have no chance of seeking immortality, why is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s very simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xizheng took another sip of fine wine, \"As soon as we met, I checked you based on your standing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The ’Hundred Battle Blood Slaughter Saber’ you practiced is not bad, you actually stepped into the ranks of a First-grade Martial Artist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This martial dao talent of yours, except for your Great Yu’s founding emperor Zheng Mingsen, no one has a talent stronger than yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However... you don’t have a spirit root, so you can’t cultivate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spirit root?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yi frowned and said, \"What is a spirit root?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spirit root... you can think of it as a martial dao talent. Without a spirit root, you can’t sense and gather spiritual qi, so of course you can’t cultivate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Zhao Xizheng’s explanation, Zheng Yi quickly understood the special nature of spirit roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For mortals to embark on the path of cultivation, they must possess a spirit root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, the Five Elements spirit roots of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are the most common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind, thunder, ice, flame, light, dark, and blood are anomalous spirit roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, among mortals, those born with spirit roots are one in ten thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The quality of spirit roots is divided into lower, middle, top, and top-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with Five Elements spirits roots can only reach as high as late-stage Qi Cultivation and are also known as pseudo spirit roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with Four Elements spirit roots have a very small chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage and are considered lower-grade spirit roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those with Four Elements spirit roots form the largest group in the cultivation world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether in a sect, family, or other forces,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they are only worth cultivating if they have three spirit roots or above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three spirit roots are middle-grade spirit roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dual spirit roots are top-grade spirit roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for single attribute, they are called top-grade spirit roots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also known as celestial spirit roots!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celestial spirit root cultivators have an exceptional sensitivity to Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They can break through bottlenecks in extremely short periods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as there are no accidents on the path of cultivation, reaching the Nascent Soul Stage is only a matter of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s even a significant chance to achieve the Divinity Transformation Stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the number of celestial spirit root individuals is extremely scarce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if calculated among millions of cultivators in this world,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the number of celestial spirit root cultivators is no more than a handful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xizheng personally tested Zheng Yi just now, and he has no spirit root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has no fate with cultivation!\u003C\u002Fp>",1332,"2026-06-06T13:34:09.114Z",1,"novelbin.me","5643405cc5d9585c18247903a7af5788a1c7ff38a164ebb58c0d6ed2355ddc10","eternal-life-as-false-emperor-chapter-79","eternal-life-as-false-emperor-chapter-77",358,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-as-false-emperor-cover.jpg"]
