"What is this place? Why is it so dark, so cold? Why am I falling apart, so tired, so painful?"

Trying to reach out and touch his forehead, the pain in his arm made Yan Batian involuntarily take a breath of cool air, and he had to choose to give up unwillingly.

A feeling of pain all over his body filled him. It felt as if he was covered with a heavy quilt. He wanted to turn over, but his body only moved slightly, and then stopped, and he found it difficult to even turn over.

"It's winter, it's winter, it's so cold, how do I feel so weak?"

habitually sank his divine consciousness into his body to visit, and as soon as the result came out, Yan Batian's heart suddenly cooled by half.

"How could my muscles and veins become so small, and my mana was only at the third level of the Qi cultivation period, how could even my spiritual root attribute become so bad?

Cold sweat broke out involuntarily, and this feeling was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which calmed him down at once.

As Yan Batian, who was at the level of an ancestor of a cultivator in the Transformation Period, he would never have thought that one day his cultivation would regress to the Qi cultivation period. Even the Spiritual Root attributes have undergone significant changes.

Originally, Yan Batian was a fire-attributed Heavenly Spirit Root, and the Spirit Root Index was as high as ninety-three, but now the Spirit Root attribute had turned into an ordinary Spirit Root with three attributes: Fire, Earth, and Wood, which made his heart sink to the bottom all of a sudden.

The spiritual root is the most critical foundation of the monk, and it is impossible to cultivate immortals without the spiritual root. Because without a spiritual root, you can't feel the aura in heaven and earth at all, and it is impossible to cultivate mana, and the hope of cultivating immortals is cut off.

Generally speaking, the spiritual root is divided into five attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and most people with spiritual roots are mixed with the five attributes, the more they are mixed, the less they can feel the concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the slower the cultivation speed, the fundamental reason is that the more they are mixed, the less the spiritual root index will be distributed to each attribute.

The recognized spiritual root index in the immortal cultivation world is that the whole hundred is full, and the lowest is one, that is to say, all the spiritual root indices of a person add up to a whole hundred, if the spiritual root index of an immortal cultivator is a whole hundred, then it is called a full spiritual root. The higher the spiritual root index, the higher the concentration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the faster the cultivation speed will be, and vice versa, the slower it will be.

If the spirit root is a mixture of four or five attributes, it is called a miscellaneous spirit root. If a monk is a miscellaneous spiritual root or the total number of spiritual root indices is less than fifty, a monk with this kind of spiritual root can basically only hover around the third or fourth level of qi cultivation, and there is very little chance of being able to advance to the late stage of qi cultivation, let alone succeed in building a foundation. The vast majority of cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Realm are waste spirit roots.

If it is a monk who only has three attributes mixed with the spiritual root, it is called an ordinary spiritual root, as long as the spiritual root index is above fifty, the cultivation speed can be much faster, as long as the immortal cultivator is diligent enough, has perseverance, and adds some ethereal luck, then it is possible to build a successful foundation. About twenty percent of the monks possess ordinary spiritual roots.

Yan Batian, who has awakened now, is the owner of an ordinary spiritual root.

If there is only a spiritual root with a mixture of two attributes, it is called a good spiritual root. Monks with excellent spiritual roots have a unique advantage in cultivating immortals themselves, and most of the monks who can cultivate to the middle realm are excellent spiritual roots.

As for only one kind of spiritual root attribute, it is called the Heavenly Spiritual Root by the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and the Heavenly Spiritual Root as the name suggests means that it is given by God, as long as it is a monk who has the Heavenly Spiritual Root, no matter what the spiritual root index is, it will be pulled into the sect by many immortal cultivation sects.

Because the immortal cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Root, there is no bottleneck when building the foundation and condensing the golden pill, as long as there are enough resources, the monk is not too lazy, and he does not fall halfway, then the condensation of the golden pill is a sure thing.

There are very few Heavenly Spirit Root cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, not to mention the Heavenly Spiritual Root Immortal Cultivators with a super high Spiritual Root Index, and the Heavenly Spiritual Root Immortal Cultivators with a Spiritual Root Index of more than eighty cannot be found in the Immortal Cultivation World for thousands of years, if one is found, it is the Yuan Infant and the old monster of the Transformation Period who will also rush to accept him as a disciple.

Yan Batian was a Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivator before.

Compared with the Heavenly Spirit Root, the probability of the appearance of the Heavenly Spirit Root is too small, there is another kind of Spirit Root that has a relatively greater chance of appearing, that is, the mutated Spirit Root produced by the mutation of two or more attribute Spirit Roots.

The most common mutated spirit roots are, thunder spirit root produced by mutation of wood spirit root and fire spirit root, ice spirit root produced by mutation of gold spirit root and water spirit root, wind spirit root produced by mutation of wood spirit root and fire spirit root, ice spirit root produced by water spirit root and earth spirit root, etc.

Although these mutated spirit roots do not have the talent of the Heavenly Spirit Root to directly advance to the Golden Pill without impacting the bottleneck, the probability of forming the Pill is still far greater than that of ordinary Spirit Root monks.

This kind of mutated spiritual root monk also has a great advantage, that is, as long as you practice the immortal cultivation technique that matches its spiritual root, then its power will be greatly increased, generally speaking, a mutated spiritual root monk can be able to defeat three or four monks of the same level without falling behind, and some can even cross the level of challenge and win.

Therefore, as long as the mutated spirit root monks appeared, there were still many high-level monks who were willing to accept them as disciples.

Monks are divided into three levels: the lower realm, the middle realm, and the upper realm.

The lower realm includes the two realms of qi training and foundation building, the middle realm includes the three realms of Jindan, Yuanying and Huashen, and the upper realm has only one level, which is the realm of the tribulation.

(At the level of each realm, there will be a bottleneck to curb the advancement of monks, for example, if a monk in the Qi cultivation period wants to advance to the foundation building stage, he must use mana to forcibly break this bottleneck, otherwise he will not be able to advance.) ）

As long as a monk advances to the upper realm, that is, cultivates to the tribulation period, he can theoretically live with heaven and earth, but he has to go through that terrifying heavenly tribulation every 10,000 years.

The heavenly calamity is a calamity, when a person does something contrary to the principles of heaven and against the sky, God will punish him. The monk went against the sky, trying in vain to cultivate the true immortal with the body of a mortal, and was ranked in the immortal class. Heaven naturally won't let him get his wish.

When the monk cultivates to the tribulation period, his lifespan is long, his strength is too terrifying, and he collides with the rules of heaven and earth, and the vast world of cultivating immortals seems to be unable to accommodate him, so the heavens will punish him, and send down the heavenly tribulation to take the lives of those who act against the sky.

The Heavenly Tribulation is divided into two types: the Ordinary Heavenly Tribulation and the Ascension Heavenly Tribulation.

The Ordinary Heavenly Tribulation Heavenly Tribulation will rain down three heavenly thunderbolts and attack him. The power of each Heavenly Thunder will be doubled, that is, the power of the third Heavenly Thunder will be four times that of the first. If the Tribulation Monk succeeds in resisting, then he still has 10,000 years to prepare for the next Tribulation.

But the power of the next Heavenly Tribulation Heavenly Thunder will also be doubled, and the first path will be twice as powerful as the first Heavenly Thunder of the previous Heavenly Tribulation, and so on. So the more you go, the more powerful the thunder will be.

A monk who has survived one ordinary tribulation is called a pre-immortal of the first tribulation, and a monk who has survived two ordinary heavenly tribulations is called a pre-immortal of the second tribulation...... Pre-immortal means to prepare immortals.

Ascension Heavenly Tribulation, as the name suggests, is a monk who has survived this Heavenly Tribulation, and he broke through the barrier of human immortals in one fell swoop, and his feather ascension officially ranked in the immortal class and became a true immortal.
