The cultivation of the human race primarily relies on spiritual roots, with a distinction between ordinary five-element spiritual roots and mutated spiritual roots.
Mutated spiritual roots are generally single, such as thunder spiritual roots, ice spiritual roots, and wind spiritual roots.
On the other hand, ordinary five-element spiritual roots are much more complex, with distinctions between mixed spiritual roots, true spiritual roots, and heavenly spiritual roots.
Mixed spiritual roots refer to the condition of having four or five branches of spiritual roots. These roots are diverse and delicate, sometimes underdeveloped. While others can absorb double the spiritual energy in the same time, those with mixed spiritual roots may struggle to absorb even the same amount.
Therefore, practitioners with mixed spiritual roots progress far slower than others. The quality of absorbed spiritual energy is also more complex, making cultivation extremely challenging. Many people cannot even establish a foundation, and reaching the golden core stage is considered exceptionally lucky.
True spiritual roots are much better than mixed spiritual roots, either as dual spiritual roots or triple spiritual roots, resulting in a significantly faster cultivation speed.
As for heavenly spiritual roots, they are single spiritual roots, belonging to the rare geniuses among practitioners.
Vususu has always absorbed pure wood spiritual energy, and his cultivation speed is comparable to that of a heavenly spiritual root practitioner. Thus, he always thought he had a single spiritual root. However, the all-element spirit claims otherwise.
Vususu was puzzled, "Not a single spiritual root? Could it be dual spiritual roots?"
In theory, this should not be the case. Besides the wood spiritual energy, no other spiritual energy is close to him.
"It's not dual spiritual roots either."
"Triple spiritual roots? That's impossible. Are you messing with me?"
"I'm not. Your spiritual root situation is somewhat complicated. I consulted all relevant data in the database before confirming."
"Then tell me, what kind of spiritual root do I have? I refuse to believe it's a mixed spiritual root."
If someone with mixed spiritual roots could cultivate at his speed, then all cultivators in the cultivation world could ascend to immortality.
"It's not a mixed spiritual root but a more complex and super rare type — the Full Elemental Root."
Full Elemental Root?
Vususu was stunned. It's not that he was unaware of Full Elemental Roots, but the situation was too special, rarer than mutated spiritual roots, so he never thought about it.
The so-called Full Elemental Root means that each branch of the spiritual root is as thick as a single spiritual root and well-developed. Even if one simultaneously absorbs all five elements' spiritual energy, the cultivation speed is as fast as that of a single spiritual root practitioner.
However, there is a fatal flaw — the Dantian is not enough.
A person's Dantian has limited storage capacity. A single spiritual root cultivator has a full reserve of single-attribute spiritual power.
On the other hand, a Full Elemental Root cultivator divides the Dantian into five parts, with each spiritual power occupying only one-fifth of the space. They also spend more time cultivating five attributes' techniques.
The situation of being extensive but not refined means that attention is divided, and, in the end, Full Elemental Root cultivators are at a disadvantage.
Therefore, many Full Elemental Root cultivators choose to eliminate the other four spiritual roots and specialize in one. Or they choose to neglect the other four spiritual roots, specializing in the heart method and techniques of one attribute, resulting in the Dantian being only one-fifth utilized, leading to worse endurance during fights compared to single spiritual root practitioners.
"Master..."
Vususu remained silent for a long time, and the all-element spirit couldn't help but call him.
Vususu was considering and asked, "If I remove the other four spiritual roots, what materials do I need to gather?"
"In fact, if the problem of the Dantian can be solved, you would be equivalent to one person having the strength of five single spiritual root cultivators."
"How to solve it? The Full Elemental Root cultivators I know either eliminate the other four spiritual roots or specialize in one."
"That's because the Full Elemental Root cultivators you know didn't have that condition."
The all-element spirit provided Vususu with some data for him to read.
The data presented a completely different result, stating that Full Elemental Root cultivators belonged to a unique group called Celestial Patrons. Although they had a flaw, they could use five special elemental treasures to enhance the Dantian, perfectly solving the problem.
After carefully reading the listed five elemental treasures, Vususu quickly understood why the all-element spirit said that the conditions of previous cultivators were lacking.
These five elemental treasures had become extinct in the later stages of the primitive era.
But now, they still existed.
He did have an excellent opportunity.
Vususu stood up suddenly, his eyes shining brightly.
To wash away the other four spiritual roots would indeed be a waste of such a good opportunity. In the current era, where the five elemental treasures could still be found, even finding one among them would be considered good. Therefore, he needed to choose suitable external martial arts and basic internal cultivation techniques to enhance his strength.
Vususu and the all-element spirit were busy selecting for an entire night. They tentatively chose a low-grade palm technique as an external martial art, and for the internal cultivation technique, they temporarily chose the wood attribute's "Revitalization Heart Method."
As for the basic wood attribute spells, Vususu selected a few that were relatively practical for the current situation.
"Cough..."
Suddenly, the lying down Simplicity coughed. Vususu quickly ended the conversation with the all-element spirit.
Simplicity had awakened
