Chapter 124: Chapter 114: Spirit Root (Please Subscribe)

Cosmic travel was a rather lengthy and boring affair, especially after the novelty wore off at the beginning.

When Fang Xing grew tired of the monotonous scenery outside the window, he would return to his cabin and choose to retreat in seclusion.

Speaking of seclusion, he was actually lying around at will, his consciousness traveling through the Gate of All Heavens to another "self".

Cultivation World.

Underground Camp.

"This secret technique is truly mystical, even enabling my original self to share consciousness with my avatar, spanning across two worlds..."

The cultivation avatar, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, suddenly opened his eyes.

He was currently lying in a blood pool.

This blood pool was bewitching and sinister... looking especially spine-chilling.

"However, I feel that the main credit still goes to the ’Gate of All Heavens’... Is it akin to a super signal tower? Connecting the avatar with the original? So, is it still the Golden Finger that’s powerful?"

Fang Xing stood up, climbing out of the blood pool with a casual flick of his finger.

A surge of mana gushed forth, transforming into the simplest Expelling Technique and fetching a silver orb over.

The Nano Protective Suit was immediately worn snugly, turning into a long, silver-white robe.

"This Clone Technique isn’t bad, pity that it can only split off a single Dharma Protector God, otherwise I would create ten or eight avatars, and then I would truly be invincible under the heavens..."

He shook his head slightly, feeling somewhat regretful.

After all, the name of this secret technique was ’Heavenly Mother’s Mighty Golden Lotus Twin Guardian Manual’, if he wanted a second avatar, he would probably have to throw this technique back into the Great Sun Furnace and deduce something like a ’Three-Life Guardian Manual’.

"Fortunately, one avatar is enough for now."

Fang Xing picked up a ’Spirit Testing Talisman’, his body had already been tested to possess a Gold Element Heavenly Spirit Root!

The reason he tested again was naturally that after he had cultivated mana, he immediately tried Master Wanfa’s Blood Sacrifice Secret Technique, refining his Spirit Root every day to enhance it.

To this day, all consumables had already been used up.

After inputting a trace of mana, the Spirit Testing Talisman turned into a radiant glow and settled on his body.

Almost instantly, a golden light emerged, shooting straight to the top of his head, reaching a height of a full foot!

In fact, it went beyond one foot, measuring about one foot and three or four inches!

"The Spirit Testing Talisman determines the talent of the Spirit Root based on the color and strength of Spiritual Power. I have only one color, a single-element Heavenly Spirit Root, and even surpassing the quality of the Heavenly Spirit Root... But, it seems that I haven’t reached a certain limit."

Originally, Fang Xing thought that after sacrificing those clones, his Spirit Root talent would climb to another plateau.

But the reality proved that he was thinking too much, although indeed stronger than a Heavenly Spirit Root, the strength seemed limited.

"Is it that the raw materials are not sufficient? Or is it lacking some kind of innate substance?"

Fang Xing was very interested in this and wanted to explore it further.

"Surely the raw materials were enough, even the entire Cultivation World doesn’t have better resources than me... They at most sacrifice relatives by blood, but I’m sacrificing ’myself’, not only with no rejection reaction but also without any karmic debt..."

Can a cultivator possibly ’clone’ himself?

In Fang Xing’s knowledge, it’s almost impossible.

Cultivators in this world mostly specialize in combat strength, and they are also fine with healing, but when it comes to biochemical research, that’s another story.

At least as far as Fang Xing knows, for Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators, regenerating limbs is not a difficult task.

But to create something from nothing or to create an entire body from just a drop of blood.

That’s probably something only those legendary divine medicines capable of resurrecting the dead and mending broken bones could achieve!

And such divine medicines are unlikely to appear in the hands of Low Rank cultivators and are a lifeline for High Rank cultivators!

Why would they need to exchange for a body with a Heavenly Spirit Root?

For Nascent Soul cultivators and above, what does a Heavenly Spirit Root talent amount to? Is it more important than their own lives?

If they want to possess a Heavenly Spirit Root, they can directly seek one within their own forces or among the disciples of the Sect and then perform Nascent Soul Emergence to take over.

Even those with Great Ability on the Demon Path who excel at killing and refining Demon Treasures find themselves completely in the dark when it comes to cloning; it’s simply not their expertise.

After all, if Nascent Soul cultivators could clone themselves with just a drop of blood, why wouldn’t the Nascent Soul True Monarchs of both the Righteous and Demonic paths make preparations with their own drop of blood as a refuge, rather than possessing their own outstanding Heavenly Spirit Root disciples after their Magic Bodies get damaged?

Keep in mind that possessing oneself would definitely have no rejection reaction, making it the best option.

The only explanation is that it’s simply not doable!

"Cultivators below Divinity Transformation might experiment with single bodies by coincidence or with the help of some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, at a huge cost... The input does not proportionate to the output..."

"As for those above Divinity Transformation, even the rumored Immortals... Perhaps they can create a multitude of Heavenly Spirit Root bodies at a wave of their hand, akin to cloning... but that’s even more pointless for them."

"They have more convenient means to directly bestow Spirit Roots on mortals... An Immortal who can create infinite Heavenly Spirit Roots would find it quite normal to create Spirit Roots superior to the Heavenly Spirit Roots with just a flick of their fingers."

"Thus, at a Low Rank, none had better resources than me."

"Could it be, this is the pinnacle that my Spirit Root can reach?"

With that thinking, Fang Xing stopped dwelling on the subject.

After tidying up the Blood Pool and Cultivation Chamber, he moved to a quiet room at the side and began sitting in meditation for Qi Cultivation.

"From a mere mortal becoming a Cultivator, one just needs to sense the Spiritual Energy in the void with the Spirit Root and achieve Introducing Energy into the Body..."

Fang Xing was no longer at the initial Qi Cultivation level.

Since his first cultivation session, he felt the Gold Element Spiritual Energy in the void tirelessly surging and rushing into his body.

Then, Qi Cultivation First Rank, Second Rank, Third Rank... as easy as eating and drinking.

Today, after a brief session of meditation, I managed to break through to the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation Realm effortlessly!

As for any kind of bottleneck or the like, I didn’t feel it at all.

"It is said that cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Roots have no bottlenecks before Core Formation... Just as I thought!"

"Given that I possess a special Spirit Root with aptitude surpassing even the Heavenly Spirit Roots, it’s only natural that my cultivation speed is this fast..."

Fang Xing pulled out a pale golden Jade Scroll and began to study it carefully.

The cultivation technique he was practicing was named the ’Gold Transformation Technique’, which was an ordinary Gold Attribute Cultivation Method collected by Master Wanfa. Its sole advantage was its completeness, outlining everything from the first level of Qi Cultivation to Perfect Foundation Establishment, including how to break through to Core Formation.

As for its power and attached Spells and Divine Skills, they were only average, without any swordsmanship techniques.

At this thought, Fang Xing felt somewhat disheartened.

"Master Wanfa had a Mixed Spirit Root, mainly practicing the ’Mixed Element Technique’. My Heavenly Spirit Root doesn’t quite fit that..."

"I remember when I went with Luo the ghost and Su Ye to hunt the Green Rock Bulls, there was a True Inheritor from the Qingxuan Sect with formidable swordsmanship, obviously practicing a Gold Attribute Sword Technique... Alas, back then, to show off my nonchalant attitude towards cultivation items, which were useless to me, I only took Luo’s storage bag as a token... If there was a sword technique from that young man, Su Ye should have it..."

Fang Xing made a mental note of this.

Cultivators with Gold Attribute Spirit Roots were naturally suitable for combat, especially for the path of a Sword Cultivator!

Hence, he still wanted to exchange for a good Sword Cultivation Technique, at least one that reached the Nascent Soul level.

But there was no rush for this matter; he could plan slowly after Foundation Establishment.

Besides that, although he had numerous Magic Artifacts at hand, only a few could be currently used.

The most valuable among them was that Magic Treasure Hairpin, which he named ’Flying Phoenix Hairpin’ and which was definitely unusable at the moment.

There was also the ’Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron’, a grand opportunity from Master Wanfa, which he was still exploring.

The Green Rainbow Sword, though a Second Rank Spiritual Artifact, was already spent and more suitable for his main body to use.

Beyond that were the various Spiritual Artifact-level Flying Swords.

Fang Xing casually picked up a Top Grade Spiritual Artifact Flying Sword to use for the time being.

Although his current Qi Cultivation Middle Stage cultivation would be better suited to a Mid-grade Flying Sword, perhaps due to his Gold Element Heavenly Spirit Root, he found that he expended very little and recovered quickly when using Sword Control.

Thus, even at the fourth layer of Qi Cultivation, he could just manage to use a Top Grade Flying Sword-level Magic Artifact.

"In addition, my cultivation location also needs a change... Now that I am a cultivator, cultivating in the Spiritual Veins will progress much faster..."

Fang Xing was already contemplating the issue of Foundation Establishment.

Since cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Roots have no bottlenecks before Core Formation, it’s very likely they won’t need a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Of course, if there is an opportunity, it’s still better to consume one for added assurance.

"This body of mine has a hidden defect, which is that it naturally has a shorter lifespan..."

This was the drawback of the clone technique, equivalent to Fang Xing having already lived through a dozen years.

Even without accelerating growth, and still in the form of a baby, it was the same.

"But that’s not a concern, once I establish my Foundation, my lifespan will be extended by another sixty years... The loss of a dozen or twenty years of lifespan can be recovered then."

Fang Xing raised his hand slightly, condensing mana to form a water mirror.

Cultivators are only particularly adept at Spells of their Spirit Root attributes, but they can still grasp a bit of the other Five Elements Techniques.

In the mirror, a youth in silver clothing was reflected, with eyebrows like swords, starry eyes, and a dashing appearance that was indescribably heroic.

"This body shouldn’t pose any problems, did it come from a Loose Cultivator background?"

Fang Xing pondered. As a Heavenly Spirit Root destined to be a backup for Core Formation elders, he must have been well-protected in the Fertile Wilderness and wouldn’t have come to risk himself in the Wilderness.

Such an important person’s disappearance would surely alarm the Sect to conduct a search, with Core Formation elders getting involved!

No news of any significant figures being lost from the Wanfa Secret Realm had come out before, nor did Master Wanfa have any related memories.

Therefore, the likelihood of this person being a Loose Cultivator was high.

"If his background is clean, I could join a Core Formation Sect after leaving... To acquire resources and improve swiftly without making an effort could be an option..."

Why a Core Formation Sect?

Naturally, because Nascent Soul Cultivators from a Nascent Soul Sect could possess others!

And not every Core Formation Cultivator in a Core Formation Sect is as talented as Master Wanfa!

Thinking of Master Wanfa, Fang Xing’s expression turned serious.

He knew that person still had a Divided Soul within the Secret Realm, and so he had set up surveillance early on.

So far, everything in the Secret Realm was normal, with no one appearing.

’Ghost Cultivators find it hard to stray too far from the Transformation Land... And with Master Wanfa’s lifespan exhausted, even if he succeeds in possession, what about his lifespan?’

Fang Xing recalled Master Wanfa’s memories and felt that the latter’s ’Ghost Infant Skill’ still had significant flaws.

If he really let that person take action, the outcome after possession would most likely be not good, with a high chance of becoming an abominable half-human, half-ghost entity!

After finishing his contemplation, Fang Xing stood up and glanced at his attribute bar out of habit, only to find it non-existent.

"Sigh..."

He sighed. He had known this since the beginning of the possession.

The attribute panel could only be checked by the main body.

"Could it be... that this is the unique, unparalleled power of the Golden Finger of all worlds?!"

Fang Xing felt emotional inside.
