Chapter 13: Spiritual Roots and Magic Weapons
"The path of cultivating truth is not for everyone. First of all, it is necessary to see whether the person himself has a spiritual root, and only those who have a spiritual root can feel the spiritual energy that exists between heaven and earth. Secondly, it depends on the attributes of the spiritual root, which I will talk about later. Furthermore, it depends on whether the spiritual root is complete. Generally speaking, all three are indispensable.
But there are exceptions to everything, and being born with a spiritual root does not necessarily mean that you can't cultivate, and being born without a spiritual root doesn't mean that you can't cultivate. Because the spiritual root is divided into innate and acquired.
The innate spiritual root is born from the qi of heaven and earth, and is formed in the body during the fetal period. Those who possess innate spiritual roots can generally cultivate, but there are also some people whose spiritual roots are mutated or even deformed, resulting in the inability of spiritual energy to be stored or operated in their bodies.
This kind of birth defect is extremely difficult to repair, and it is rumored that only the power of the Immortal Tribulation after the Returning Realm or even after the Tribulation can be repaired, and the cost of this kind of anti-heaven behavior of completing the spiritual root is also very high. Moreover, even after completing it, it is difficult to achieve anything on the path of monasticism, so almost no one does so.
Therefore, those who possess spiritual roots may not be able to cultivate.
And people who are born without spiritual roots can also obtain spiritual roots through some extremely special means. Generally, it is achieved by some substitutes, and such substitute spiritual roots are collectively referred to as acquired spiritual roots.
Because of the existence of the acquired spiritual root, it is said that those who do not have the spiritual root may also cultivate.
For example, the beast spirit root invented by the people of the Demon Dao is to use the core of some powerful demon beasts or alien beasts to be implanted into the human body for the purpose of spiritual root, but those who implant such spiritual roots will be limited in their cultivation, and the upper limit will be proportional to the level of the kernel, which will be lower or closer to the cultivation of the original owner when the kernel was taken out.
There is also the Instrument Spirit Root, which is a magic weapon refined by a special method as a substitute for the Spirit Root, which is similar to the Beast Spirit Root, and the upper limit is subject to the level of the magic weapon, and it will not be very high.
In addition, there are some more bizarre alternative spirit roots.
Since these substitute roots are not innate, they are alienated from their physical bodies.
Moreover, due to the restriction of the upper limit of the substitute spiritual root itself, it is often difficult to cultivate to the advanced realm, and the Yuan Infant is basically at the end. If you reach the Divine Soul Realm, it can already be called against the sky, not to mention the subsequent realms of Earth and Heaven, and even rumors are rarely heard. ”
Tianyi Zhenren changed his words, but said:
"But things in the world have their own wonders. There is also a very special type of existence in the Substitute Spiritual Root, which is the best of them - Heaven and Earth Spiritual Root. The principle is the same as the above two categories, but it is to replace the spiritual root with the innate spiritual treasure into the body.
The Innate Spirit Treasure is also born from the qi of heaven and earth, and can absorb the essence of the sun, moon and stars and the aura of all things in heaven and earth and grow by itself.
Therefore, it is rumored that as early as the period of the gods of the flood wilderness, there was a great power of cultivation for the heavens and the amazing talent as inspiration, to create a way to replace the spiritual root, with the innate spiritual treasure for the body of the destroyed apprentice reshaped the body and spiritual root, after that, its apprentice compared to the remodeling of the previous cultivation for the great progress, in the flood wilderness to break into the prestige.
According to rumors, this powerful name is called Taiyi Zhenren, and the people of later generations were inspired by this to create acquired spiritual roots such as beast spirit roots and instrument spirit roots......"
When He Lingfeng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he showed a lot of interest in the era of the gods of the Flood Desolation, and he couldn't help but be curious, "Senior, can you tell us more about the story of the gods of the Flood Desolation?"
Tianyi Zhenren smiled kindly, gently touched He Lingfeng's head with one hand, and said with a pleasant face, "This is a rumor in the world, and there are no ancient records circulating, and no one knows whether it is true or not." However, there are some strange tales in the mortal world, strange novels and the like that are quite good, if you are really interested, you can collect such rumors yourself when you walk the world in the future. Okay, I'll move on to ......"
He Lingfeng had no choice but to suppress the curiosity in his heart, and continued to listen to Tianyi's real person.
“...... Because of the special feature that the innate spiritual treasure is conceived by heaven and earth, people who have implanted this kind of spiritual root of heaven and earth will have no obstacles and upper limits in their cultivation in the future, and they will enter the realm quickly. Theoretically, as long as you can keep up with the Great Dao Perception, you can cultivate all the way to the peak of the late stage of the Guiyi Realm. However, it is not known whether the Tribulation will need to be crossed, and how powerful the Tribulation will be.
Just because the innate spirit treasure is extremely rare, it is even more rare to use it as a spiritual root.
Since 70,000 years ago, since the compilation of the authoritative historical record of the Xiuzhen Realm, "Tianhua Zhengshi", there are only two people with the exact record of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, the first one has already ascended to the immortal realm, and the other has been coveted by the innate spirit treasure in his body and designed to kill, and has fallen for a long time.
Xu is worried about his guilt, Xu is innate spiritual treasure is difficult to find, and since then, there has been no record of heaven and earth spiritual roots. Today, I have never heard of anyone who holds the spiritual root of heaven and earth. ”
When Tianyi Zhenren talked about this, he felt that He Ling was still young and too young, and it was difficult to remember if he taught too much knowledge at one time, so he originally planned to let him rest first and talk about it on the second day. Who knew that He Lingfeng was actually more and more interested, pestering him to continue to tell.
Tianyi Zhenren couldn't, so he wanted to test He Lingfeng first to see if he remembered and understood what he had said before making a decision, but he didn't expect the latter to answer like a fluent.
"Old man, I really didn't look away, I am such a child with extraordinary intelligence, and with a fairy spirit jade body, I will definitely be able to become a figure in the cultivation realm in the future. Seeing this, Tianyi Zhenren couldn't help but praise.
However, He Lingfeng was very modest, smiled shyly, and said a little embarrassedly, "The seniors have praised it falsely, and Ling Feng has not even started to cultivate." ”
Tianyi Zhenren felt even more relieved in his heart, smiled aloud, and then continued to speak.
"Since we have talked about innate spirit treasures, we have to talk about the classification of magic weapons. The magic weapon is divided according to the quality of the material and the strength of the function, from high to low, and there are four orders of heaven and earth. Each level is divided into nine grades, with nine grades being the lowest and one being the highest. The magic weapon is divided according to the way it is generated, and like the spiritual root, there are also innate and acquired differences.
The innate magic weapon is conceived by heaven and earth, born naturally, absorbing the aura of all things in the sun, the moon, and the moon, and after a long time, it is only after a long time. The innate magic weapon has a soul but no soul, so it cannot be cultivated and transformed like a grass and tree spirit, and its function is generally special and fixed.
The innate spirit treasure is the top-level existence in the innate magic weapon, but all the innate magic weapons within the five grades of the heavenly rank can be called the innate spirit treasure.
The innate spirit treasure is long because it is the qi of heaven and earth, and it appears when it inherits the opportunity of heaven and earth, and it is replaced by the way of heaven and earth, so it is restricted by the avenue of heaven and earth, and there is a specific number within a realm, and only one party is born when it is destroyed, which is called 'replacement'. Within our realm, there are ninety-nine numbers, and most of them have already gone to the heavenly realm with the ascended people, and those who are still stranded in our realm are afraid that there is not one in ten, so they are rarely heard of.
The acquired magic weapon is artificially refined, and there are many types, such as attack magic weapons, defense magic weapons, flying magic weapons and other common magic weapons. In addition, there are auxiliary magic weapons, such as complete sets of magic weapons such as array flags and array disks used in arranging formations, and runic treasures made of engraved spells. The formation and the magic weapon of the rune will be explained in detail when I teach you the formation rune in the future.
Let's talk about the space magic weapon, this is a special type of magic weapon. This kind of magic weapon is mainly divided into three categories, namely the storage magic weapon, the space magic weapon, and the cave heaven treasure.
The white jade ring worn by your master Wang Fugui is a storage magic weapon, you must have seen it. There are many forms of storage weapons, but the most common ones are jewelry and storage bags that can be carried around. The storage magic weapon is generally not large, and it cannot store aura, so it can only hold dead objects.
The space magic weapon contains several times or even a hundred times more space than the storage magic weapon, and the aura can be infused and stored for a short time, so the living thing can be stored in it for a certain time.
The treasure of the cave sky, which has its own world, is extremely magical. It is taken from the original meaning of 'there is no cave in the sky', which can store a heaven and earth, and there is spiritual energy circulating in it, so it can be used for long-term residence and cultivation.
Of course, in addition to these magic weapons, there are some alternative magic weapons, most of which are rare. If there is fate, you will meet it, so I won't talk about it. ”
After Tianyi Zhenren finished talking about the magic weapon, he paused and said to He Lingfeng, "Okay, let's stop here today." Tomorrow, I will talk a little bit about the spiritual root attributes, and I can help you open your spiritual cultivation. ”
He Lingfeng was still unsatisfied, and said to Tianyi Zhenren, "Senior, why do you know so much?"
Tianyi Zhenren smiled mysteriously, and then said: "This is the old man's secret, what I said today, especially about the innate spirit treasure, you don't have to talk to people casually." ”
"Yes!"
Although He Lingfeng was curious, he replied simply.
