Chapter 232: Chapter 41: Spirit Chicken Promotion! !
On the outskirts of Jiantao Station.
Within the territory.
In a wooden house.
Wang Ba was seated on a wooden bed, with the jade slip of “Chaotic Yuan Method” in his hand, he was hardly able to regain his senses.
He had lost hope in obtaining the Cultivation Method for the Second Dantian, and even thought such a method probably didn’t exist at all.
Otherwise, how could it be possible that not even a single person out of the hundreds or thousands of Foundation Establishment Competitors knew about it in the vast Ghost Market.
Yet, unexpectedly, just before leaving the Ghost Market, he obtained this previously hopeless Cultivation Method from Tang Ji.
Since it was the original jade slip, he didn’t spend too much time and effort before he successfully learned.
He also understood the speciality of this Cultivation Method.
Strictly speaking, this Cultivation Method is actually auxiliary in nature and is divided into three steps.
The first step is to open up an auxiliary Dantian in the human body or in an object.
And the attribute of the Spiritual Root in the Dantian is determined by the attribute of the container.
The second step is to find another Cultivation Method for this auxiliary Dantian.
Start from Qi Refining Stage I and go all the way to Perfect Foundation Establishment.
There is one point here, that a container can only hold the cultivation base of a lower-rank.
That is to say, if you want to carry a Perfect Foundation Establishment auxiliary Dantian, you need at least a Class III top-grade treasure.
The third step is to have the main Dantian swallow the auxiliary Dantian that has already reached peak realm, thereby growing the Cultivation Base to its limit in one go. This lays an unprecedented solid foundation, and during Core Formation in the future, all kinds of anomalies will occur.
For instance, even if it’s not Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, there would be a minuscule chance during Core Formation to attain a Talent Spell.
This spell is bestowed by heaven and earth, and as long as it’s in this world, it can be used at will with almost no consumption.
“So that’s why the advantage of Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment doesn’t come into play until the Golden Core Stage…”
Only now did Wang Ba realize.
No wonder he felt his powers after Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment were more stable and the Mana was purer, but did not notice anything special.
He thought that the so-called Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment was but a common misconception.
Now that he thinks about it, he really suffered from a lack of experience.
The jade slip did not only teach how to cultivate this method but also provided several different plans for the choice of the container for the auxiliary Dantian and the choice of Cultivation Method.
One of which is to make up for the deficiency of the Five Elements.
The reason why the Cultivators in this realm advocate having fewer Spiritual Roots, is due to the increasing scarcity of Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth, which has affected the Cultivators’ Lifespan, making it almost impossible to truly achieve the state described in theories.
For example, during Foundation Establishment, according to ancient records, Cultivators of Foundation Establishment often could achieve a Lifespan of three hundred years.
But today’s Cultivators of Foundation Establishment can only live for about two hundred years.
This gap of a hundred years has cut off the path to the Golden Core for countless four Spirit Roots and five elements Spiritual Root Cultivators.
Therefore, most Cultivators regard single Spiritual Root as superior and prioritize advancing in the realm.
Yet the Dao of Five Elements is the origin of mutual growth between heaven and earth.
Cultivators who only cultivate a single Dao, although they advance quickly in the early stage, still have to make up for their previous shortcomings after reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
And the original purpose of the establishment of the “Chaotic Yuan Method” is to make up for the shortfall of Five Elements Spiritual Root in later stage so as to achieve the ‘Five Virtues Body’.
Only then, one has the chance to step into a higher realm.
Of course, it’s not to say that having five Spiritual Roots is a good thing.
In the current overall environment, Five Elements Spiritual Root Cultivators are destined to have difficulty even reaching Foundation Establishment, let alone re-cultivating an auxiliary Dantian.
This involves a problem of weighing up.
“So, getting rid of the Fire Spiritual Root in the first place was not necessarily a bad thing.”
Of course, this also brought some trouble. It’s not easy to obtain a single Gold Spiritual Root container, and it’s even rarer to find a Gold, Fire Spiritual Root dual-attribute container.
Moreover, there are other directions for the choice of the container.
The second is to take the Alien Spiritual Root route.
The so-called Alien Spiritual Root refers to extremely rare Spiritual Root attributes such as Ice Spiritual Root, Wind Spiritual Root, and Thunder Spiritual Root.
These kinds of Spiritual Roots are not within the Five Elements, so there isn’t such a concept as a ‘Five Virtues Body’.
You can break all the way through and still have the chance to achieve a higher realm, qualifying as a true son of heaven.
However, because these types of Spiritual Roots are extremely extreme, their own path of Cultivation is also riddled with calamities and restrictions.
For example, Ice Spiritual Root; the higher the Cultivation Base, the more likely it is to affect the surroundings. It is said that there was a female Sect Master in Yan Dynasty who made thousands of miles of land freeze and snow wherever she went.
Even her own disciples dared not get too close, for fear of being frozen accidentally.
The same is true for other Alien Spiritual Roots.
With such behavior, it’s completely not Wang Ba’s style. And more importantly, if the auxiliary Dantian wants to cultivate Alien Spiritual Root, it will conflict with the original Five Elements type Spiritual Root. Even if he wants to cultivate, it won’t be easy.
The third is tailor-made for those with weak foundations.
Whatever attribute the Spiritual Root of the main Dantian is, the auxiliary Dantian is the same. This way, both the innate talents and the base of Mana will be greatly enhanced compared to before, hence there will be a greater hope of achieving the Golden Core.
This was also the line of thinking that Zhao Feng mentioned to him before.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Ba made a decision.
He chose the first option.
This actually didn’t require much thought. Most likely, he would not choose the Alien Spiritual Root as it didn’t match his personality. Moreover, he has achieved the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, and his foundation is so solid that few can match it. With the Lifespan Panel at hand, he doesn’t have to worry about the problem of achieving the Golden Core. All he needs to do is to cultivate step by step.
So, on one hand, it can make up for the lack in Spiritual Root, and on the other hand, it can ensure the steady improvement of the realm in the future. He didn’t need to make a choice at all..
