Chapter 10 - Spiritual Continent (1)

[Inside the Ethereal Small World]

Xiao Yun led Huang Ying Yue to a bamboo house with two floors.

The inside of the bamboo house was warm. There was a table, four chairs, a vase of rose flowers on the table, and a crystal lamp floating on the table.

There are many shelves of books. From the first floor to the second floor.

"There are the basic knowledge books, alchemy books, beast tamer books, refining tool books, array formation books, and rune books. 4/5 of these books, Yunyun found in the past." Xiao Yun flapped his four wings and looked around.

"1/5 of these books are about this era; the master doesn't have to worry about learning about this continent." Xiao Yun watched the girl walk forward and pick up a book on the first floor.

Huang Ying Yue's eyes were shining. She loves reading. Here was like a paradise to her, but for now, she could only read some important books first and practice, by the way. She urgently needs to upgrade her strength.

Before she could start to practice, she first had to learn about the system of this world. She wasn't sure if this world was just a world inside the book she read or if this world was another special space.

Just then, her eye noticed another big bookshelf in the corner of the room.

"Yunyun, what are those books?" She asked because she stood far away, so she couldn't see clearly. She walked forward until she reached one of the bookshelves.

"Oh, these are the manga books, novel books, comic books, anime books, and history books that Yunyun collected from the Earth planet."

"How did you get these books?" She was speechless. According to the number of books here, if she were in modern times, she could open up a book store.

"These books are the old ones that people threw away. Yunyun just picked them up for play. As for why these books are new and look like the new-made books because Yunyun used the magic spell to turn the books into their original looks." Xiao Yun's paw patted Huang Ying Yue's hair gently, as if he were amazed by her thoughts.

"I see!" Huang Ying Yue nodded and twitched her lips. She was just puzzled.

Xiao Yun wandered around the earth for a period of time; plus, he was an ancient spirit. It's normal that he was bored and had nothing to do, so he played around the world and collected whatever was strange to him.

"Master, if you want to read the books, you just have to think about what kind of book you want. Then the book will appear. Because this small world was connected to the master's soul, the master can control everything here." Xiao Yun reminded her as he floated around her.

Huang Ying Yue thought for a moment, then a pile of books appeared on the table.

She sat on the chair and immersed herself in reading. Xiao Yun sat on the table while nibbling the green spiritual fruit shaped like a grape.

(A week later, inside the Ethereal World)

This continent is called the Spiritual Continent. One of the lowest-ranking continents among the other continents in this universe. The Spiritual Continent divided into four domains.

The superior domain, the inner domain, the outer domain, and the inferior domain.

The Superior Domain is a place occupied by the five hermit clans and three main powerful sects. The hermit clan people never interact with or interfere with the world's affairs.

The Inner Domain is occupied by the top sects, the branch sects of the powerful sects, and five powerful families.

The four families occupy the outer domain.

The Inferior Domain is a place where there were mortals and slaves.

Each of the domains has countless big and small cities, mountains, and forests, as well as dangerous and secret places. But the higher the domain, the stronger and more powerful monsters and beasts existed there.

That's why people in the Outer Domain never dare to set foot in the superior and inner domains without any permission or enough strength.

As for the resources, the Superior and Inner domains have abundant resources, richer than the other domains. The spiritual power in the Superior Domain is three times stronger and purer than in the other domains.

People here absorb the spiritual elements from heaven and earth to practice immortality.

The elements here are: earth, water, wind, fire, thunder, ice, flowers, light, dark, and space.

To be able to practice, people must have a spiritual root. Spiritual root is divided into: supreme spiritual root, heavenly spiritual root, mutant spiritual root, true spiritual root, and pseudo spiritual root.

The Psuado Spiritual Root is the spiritual root that has more than four nature elements. The speed of practice is extremely slow.

The true spiritual root is the spiritual root that has two to three nature elements.

The Heavenly Spiritual Root is the spiritual root that has only one natural element. The cultivation speed is 3 to 4 times faster than the true spiritual root.

The Mutant spiritual roots are thunder, ice, light, and darkness.

The cultivation speed is roughly equal to that of those with heavenly spiritual roots. Furthermore, if those with mutated spiritual roots can find a cultivation skill that matches their attribute, they'll be capable of fighting against three to four cultivators at the same cultivation level.

Nature's evolved elements are its supreme spiritual roots. For example, the normal red-orange fire evolved into the purple fire.

If the normal fire's temperature is 1100 °C to 1200 °C, then the purple fire's temperature is a hundred times hotter.

Purple thunder evolved into scarlet thunder.

Blue water evolved into cyan water.

That's why those who were born with the Supreme spiritual root are called Supreme beings among other beings and get the most privilege treatment, no matter which continent they are on.

The speed and power to absorb the spiritual power are faster compared to those with heavenly and mutant spiritual roots.

Only people with pure and clear minds and a strong and kind soul can be born with this spiritual root.

People who started to cultivate have to absorb the spiritual power from the air to quench their body's muscles until they break through the body-refining period.

After breakthrough to the Qi Condensation period, they can learn to absorb and store the spiritual power of elements in their Dantain based on their spiritual root.

'Huang Ying Yue' is the single fire spiritual root, so she has to absorb the fire element from heaven and earth.
