Chapter 163: Method to Elevate Spiritual Roots
Yun Ye fully remembered the complete composition of Eternal Silence; he just needed the hardware conditions to be met to activate it.
This was his greatest gain this time. Although he could not demonstrate it yet, it gave Yun Ye a strong ‘feel,’ allowing him to skillfully use Spiritual Laws below its level.
This was an excellent boost.
The enhancement from Spiritual Laws to a cultivator’s strength is enormous. Yun Ye fought beyond his level, mainly relying on the qualitative changes brought by Spiritual Laws.
The more proficient he became with the Spiritual Laws, the higher his combat power ceiling would be.
Once he attained the perfect realm in Walking Law, taking down the law realm in Baishi Town would feel like killing a dog.
He eagerly anticipated that day.
But for now, he needed to accumulate strength, elevate his stage in spirituality, energy realm, and even his life force in Spirit Law.
Yun Ye closed his eyes once more to cultivate, but this time he focused on Spirit Law.
The total amount of spirit energy in the entire Secret Realm space was limited. If he absorbed it all, the Spiritual Herbs would be gone.
From what he felt over the past month, directly consuming Spiritual Herbs was still more efficient.
Spiritual Herbs are aggregates of spirit energy and high-concentration energy that can be directly transformed into energy meridians, with little scattering.
However, when he consolidates it himself, he needs to constantly refine and build, and during the construction of each energy meridian, it is in a state of constant disintegration. This causes significant loss, which is why it takes decades to build.
Spiritual Herbs do not have that scattering process, and their efficiency far surpasses his own cultivation, which is the reason he ultimately chose to wait for the herbs.
"Next comes the methods for the Elevation of Spiritual Roots and the burning of Spiritual Roots… The gains this time are truly remarkable."
Yun Ye murmured to himself.
The method to elevate Spiritual Roots is undoubtedly one of the most important and secretive techniques among the great families.
The reason is simple: this technique can be utilized by any cultivator to exponentially enhance their combat power. It can be described as an evolved version of Spiritual Roots revival.
The principle of Spiritual Roots revival is to manifest one’s Spiritual Roots, allowing them to extend to the surface of the body, directly manipulating the spirit energy of heaven and earth, and instilling this spirit energy throughout the body, boosting the overall effects on spirit, body, and total spirit energy by more than ten times.
However, this increase has its limits, according to the claims of the great families.
If a mortal can indeed achieve a tenfold increase, then a cultivator in the spiritual realm might only reach a fourfold increase, suffering a drop of more than half.
By the time they reach the law realm, the drop becomes even more pronounced, with an increase that may only be one times, or even less.
The reason behind this is that each realm has a different utilization rate for spirit energy, causing the effect of Spiritual Roots revival to diminish accordingly.
To counter this diminishment, someone innovated a new application method…
This is the Elevation of Spiritual Roots!
The Spiritual Roots exist as a real organ within the human body. Spiritual Roots revival is merely a revival, and it does not fully unlock the potential of the Spiritual Roots.
Elevation of Spiritual Roots allows the roots to take root and sprout, growing throughout the entire body. Externally, this manifests as the Spiritual Roots Patterns starting from the forehead, extending to the face, neck, and eventually the whole body.
In the state of Elevation of Spiritual Roots, the amount of spirit energy manipulation increases dramatically, with a range of enhancement from two to ten times based on the Spiritual Roots revival.
Additionally, even the ability to manipulate spirit energy is greatly enhanced, allowing the use of more complex spirit patterns, making major Spiritual Laws easily accessible… Of course, the cost is a more intense drain on vitality.
Theoretically, this belongs to the techniques of the spiritual realm; only those in that realm can barely use it.
According to the principle, it is not impossible for someone in the Mortal Realm to use the Elevation of Spiritual Roots, but if done so, their life force would evaporate at over a hundred times the speed compared to Spiritual Roots revival, purely exchanging lifespan for combat power.
The Elevation of Spiritual Roots is also a technique that requires long-term practice. One must gradually learn to control their Spiritual Roots and actively let them “grow,” spreading throughout their body.
When it initially spreads to the face, it signifies the entry-level stage, providing an enhancement of about two times.
When it spreads to the neck, it indicates a proficient stage, with an increase of roughly four times.
When it reaches the collarbone and chest, it marks the Minor Achievement realm, with an enhancement of about six times.
Covering the upper body and arms signifies the Major Achievement realm, yielding an increase of around eight times.
When it envelops the entire body, it reaches perfection, granting a tenfold enhancement!
The perfected Elevation of Spiritual Roots is akin to a second Spiritual Roots revival, providing a hundredfold increase across all attributes on top of the normal state, which serves as the core of any boosts!
Even at the spiritual realm, despite the reduced enhancement, it still represents a terrifying leap in combat power.
The difference between having the Elevation of Spiritual Roots and not having it is like night and day!
After the battle with Eternal Silence, Yun Ye directly achieved the Major Achievement realm in Elevation of Spiritual Roots; this is astonishing!
Although the move from Eternal Silence cost Yun Ye a full twenty years of longevity, it was completely worth it!
With the method to elevate Spiritual Roots, the spiritual realm has become trivial; as long as Yun Ye is willing to spend his life force, he can defeat anyone in an instant. As for the law realms… at least against this kind of law realm, Yun Ye has a way to escape.
He has already restored most of his strength from his second life, though this strength requires consuming vitality.
That is enough; having the power to resist is fortunate enough. Moreover, he has four marks from the divine moments of reversal, and he remembers them clearly!
A full four marks!
Even against a law realm, he has the chance to bring them down with him!
He does not believe that all the law realms in Baishi Town would be willing to take the risk of dying in battle.
Of course, perhaps he wouldn’t pose a threat to those bound by Taoist tools, but at least he could intimidate the Ji family, right?
Since he can command other law realms, he does not need to take risks personally; isn’t this a way to divide power?
Having many law realms act at once is entirely different from just one or two, especially since the Ji family’s law realms are the strongest in Baishi Town. Being able to temporarily divide their forces is already a great outcome!
Furthermore, without sufficient Elevation of Spiritual Roots, he can also turn to burning Spiritual Roots…
Yun Ye had used the Secret techniques for burning Spiritual Roots in his second life, but that was merely a vastly inferior burning technique compared to the one Chao Zizhong mastered at the spiritual realm.
For instance, the burning of Spiritual Roots in his second life was just a simple “burning” of reserved Spiritual Roots and could fully avoid burning his own roots.
On the surface, this seemed preferable, as one could choose, right?
But this was a poor application.
Simply “burning” failed to unleash the power of the Spiritual Roots; it wasted about eight or nine parts of ten!
True burning of Spiritual Roots involves breaking them down and evaporating them into the air, forming a primordial spiritual field…
This is where the terrifying aspect of burning Spiritual Roots lies, providing an unimaginable enhancement in spirit energy manipulation.
Chao Zizhong, a mere spiritual realm cultivator, could escape under the strike of a Treasure precisely due to this Secret technique of burning Spiritual Roots!
This technique should more accurately be called boiling Spiritual Roots, allowing them to dissolve into something akin to airflow, enveloping the space and forming the primordial spiritual field. Although it lasts only a moment, the explosive power is extraordinary!
This corresponds with the techniques of the law realm; if used by someone in the spiritual realm, not only would their roots be permanently diminished, but the evaporation of life force would also become even more terrifying.
Yun Ye, however, did not dare to use this move, for in that instant he would die, perhaps without even the time to wield that power.
