Chapter 646 (2/2)

Cultivators cultivating the Five Elements Spiritual Body could use it to mobilize the Spiritual Power of heaven and earth at will, using it for themselves, allowing them to exert strength several times beyond their own.

And cultivating this Five Elements Spiritual Body was not a simple task.

Five Elements Spiritual Power needed to gather together.

At this step, the advantage of having a Five Elements Spiritual Root became evident.

Those with a Five Elements Spiritual Root, harboring all five elements, found it extremely simple to condense the Five Elements Spiritual Power.

However, for those cultivators without a Five Elements Spiritual Root, it was exceedingly difficult.

They might have once been peerless geniuses with a single Spiritual Root, cultivating at a rapid pace.

Or perhaps they had dual Spiritual Roots, regarded as elites within a sect.

But at the stage of the Solidifying Body Realm…

They had to cultivate Spiritual Power of their own attributes, condense the True Spirit, and seek True Spirits of other attributes that were dispersed between heaven and earth to compensate for their missing Spiritual Roots.

Only when the True Spirits of all five attributes were gathered, could they merge together and advance to the Solidifying Body Realm.

Five Elements True Spirits are a type of Spiritual Body birthed when Spiritual Power reaches its pinnacle.

Unlike Yin Spirits or other Spiritual Bodies, they have no life, yet are immensely compatible with Spiritual Power.

Cultivators, besides relying on their cultivation, could also find some spawning in certain places in the Cultivation World.

However, the conditions for its birth are exceedingly harsh.

Only in those special places where the Spiritual Power is particularly rich is it possible for them to appear, and they are extremely rare.

Although Five Elements True Spirits possess no intelligence, capturing them is also incredibly difficult.

Therefore, for other cultivators wishing to advance to the Solidifying Body Realm, it was not easy.

Compared to those cultivators with other kinds of Spiritual Roots, Lin Jing, possessing a Five Elements Spiritual Root, only needed to continuously cultivate in order to form True Spirits of all five attributes and thus cultivate a Five Elements Spiritual Body, advancing to the Solidifying Body Realm.

Although at this step, Lin Jing’s process might be much simpler than theirs, it was not necessarily faster than their speed of advancement.

Because…

All those genius disciples who joined large sects had their sects start looking for Five Elements True Spirits for them right from the outset.

Even some top-notch sects, with their terrifying resources, found a few Five Elements True Spirits to be a mere trifle.

They did not need to worry at all.

After reaching the Solidifying Body Realm, there is still some difference between the Five Elements Spiritual Root and other Spiritual Roots.

That is, the True Spirits condensed from a Five Elements Spiritual Root are more compatible with oneself than those captured from between heaven and earth.

Naturally, there will also be some difference in their combat power.

Cultivators with a Five Elements Spiritual Root in the Solidifying Body Realm will be much stronger than those who use captured True Spirits.

However…

Because all those who possess a Five Elements are classified as mixed Spiritual Roots, their cultivation speed is exceedingly slow.

Struggling to even advance to the Golden Core, let alone the Solidifying Body Realm, becomes immensely challenging.

Millions of years ago, the entire Cultivation World no longer saw a cultivator with a Five Elements Spiritual Root reach this step.

Especially nowadays, having a Five Elements Spiritual Root almost directly signifies a bleak path of cultivation.

Even those top-notch sects that are not lacking in resources would not waste their effort to nurture such a wastrel.

Although Lin Jing also had a Five Elements Spiritual Root, he had the System Space, and it was with the aid of the System Space that he had reached this stage.

Moreover…

Lin Jing had also obtained Cleansing Spirit Liquid, refined the Cleansing Spirit Elixir, and enhanced his Spirit Root aptitude.

Although it was a Five Elements Spiritual Root, his cultivation speed had already reached the pace of triple or even dual Spiritual Roots.

…

The entire content of the Jade Slip covered these two aspects.

Whether it was due to the limitations of the previous cultivator’s cultivation, this Jade Slip did not include some subsequent information.

But even this was enough.

In the last part of the Jade Slip, the previous owner of the slip emphatically advised Lin Jing to make a journey to the Five Elements Ruins.

He said it would be immensely helpful to him.

Actually, without the reminder from this predecessor, Lin Jing would have still gone there.

After all…

Lin Jing’s current Immortal Dao Five Elements Technique only reached up to the Nascent Soul Peak, and he no longer had follow-up cultivation techniques beyond that.

The subsequent phases of the Immortal Dao Five Elements Technique were located within the Five Elements Ruins, so Lin Jing definitely needed to visit the Five Elements Ruins to seek further techniques.
