By the time I accepted the Earth Immortal Heritage and achieved Returning to Emptiness, such things became irrelevant.
For those at the Returning to Emptiness level, all paths of Cultivation merge into one, and the constraints of one's Spiritual Root talent nearly vanish.
Furthermore, the Cultivation of an Earth Immortal is solely related to the Spirit Realm and has little to do with one's original Spiritual Root talent.
It could be said that after Returning to Emptiness, except for the few rumored Immortal Grade Spiritual Roots and Special Immortal Bodies, talent constraints for Cultivators almost completely disappear.
Of course, before Returning to Emptiness—especially during the Qi Refining to Nascent Soul stages—the talent of one's Spiritual Root remains an important criterion for selecting outstanding disciples.
Zhou Jun must have had an Earth Grade or Heaven Grade talent to become a Nascent Soul.
