Chapter 27: Spiritual Roots – Burial of the Sky White Paper Offering
Though excited, Mu Lin didn’t rush to cultivate, aiming for better advancement.
Using hibernation, he slept for an hour to restore himself to peak condition before the final push.
“Inhale…”
As Mu Lin focused, frost-white moonlight energy poured into his body.
His strong soul power allowed wide energy absorption, quickly filling every part of him with yin-aligned moonlight.
Meanwhile, the moonlight began circulating through an elaborate network of pathways inside him.
These twisting pathways eventually connected to outline a complete humanoid shape.
“Hum!”
When the moonlight completed one cycle through this humanoid meridian map, the Vitality of the Living within Mu Lin grew slightly, increasing the Great Yin Living Scripture’s progress by +1.
Without stopping, he immediately began the second assessment.
After this cycle, his cultivation method’s proficiency reached 360/360.
Though still feeling physically drained, his mind now buzzed with perfect completion.
The Great Yin Living Scripture had reached Level 1 perfection.
With full experience points, Mu Lin instinctively activated the method again.
“Rumble!”
This time, pure Vitality of the Living energy flowed through his meridians instead of moonlight power.
The energy moved slowly but steadily as Mu Lin deliberately thinned its concentration.
His goal wasn’t dilution, but creating an unbroken humanoid energy flow through every meridian.
Limited cultivation time left his energy reserves sparse, forcing him to spread it paper-thin.
Most practitioners would fail this delicate task.
But Mu Lin’s powerful soul enabled precise control, barely maintaining the fragile energy web.
Guided by his will, the Vitality of the Living gradually coated every meridian without gaps.
As the energy coalesced into a faint humanoid outline, unusual changes occurred within him.
The ‘humanoid energy pattern’ began resonating with his body and soul.
“CRACK!”
Violent resonance fused his energy, soul, and physical vitality together.
The combined forces surged toward a single point inside his body.
“Whirr…”
This vortex devoured his energy, vitality, and soul power like a black hole.
The brutal drain left Mu Lin with a Pale Complexion and slightly withered frame.
——With a balanced Spiritual Roots Talent and aid from the proficiency panel, Mu Lin faced a persistent issue: his cultivation methods advanced too rapidly while his magical power accumulation lagged behind.
This meant Mu Lin currently lacked the qualifications for awakening.
Yet his powerful soul enabled precise manipulations to complete the awakening’s initial phase.
This risky approach inevitably brought backlash.
Fortunately, days of hibernation and daily consumption of ten to twenty bowls of Spirit Rice had transformed Mu Lin’s once-frail body into one brimming with strength and vitality.
Though the ‘black hole’ demanded immense consumption during awakening, Mu Lin’s fortified physique endured.
"Hiss…"
Through clenched perseverance, the black hole finally gathered sufficient energy. With an explosive "boom" resembling an internal detonation, the energy-devouring vortex ruptured.
The blast caused minimal physical damage, but left behind a nebulous void within Mu Lin – a spatial rift between flesh and spirit. This became his dantian.
In this world, humans possessed meridians but naturally lacked dantians. Cultivators had to forge these magical power reservoirs themselves.
Creating a personalized dantian marked both the start of true cultivation and awakening’s first step.
As the dantian stabilized, Mu Lin’s residual magical energy flowed into it like homing birds.
But awakening remained incomplete. The dantian’s creation merely began the process – next came condensing his Spiritual Roots.
The quality of these Spiritual Roots depended on cultivation methods, bloodline, and personal enlightenment.
…
No active effort was needed. When the cosmic explosion-like dantian formed, Mu Lin’s Spiritual Roots materialized simultaneously like primordial spirit treasures.
Simply focusing his consciousness revealed the dantian’s structure – including the massive altar occupying half its space.
"Buzz…"
Without hesitation, Mu Lin closed his eyes and projected his awareness inward.
"Boom!"
His spiritual vision revealed a three-tiered altar dominating the dantian. Snake patterns covered its surface, while a White Paper-like humanoid meditated atop it.
【Burial of the Sky White Paper Offering】
This constituted Mu Lin’s Spiritual Roots.
The primary altar manifested Mind Image · City of Heaven’s Funeral. Its serpentine designs connected to refined Black Water Mystic Serpent vital blood. The summit’s humanoid symbolized Great Yin Living Scripture.
Forged from essence, energy, and spirit convergence, these Spiritual Roots held tripartite significance beyond mere appearance.
Though intricate snake patterns adorned the altar, insufficient black mist magical power left the serpent’s essence unrealized.
Both Mind Image · City of Heaven’s Funeral and Great Yin Living Scripture displayed remarkable properties. As the Spiritual Roots’ foundation, the altar boasted three abilities:
1. Foundation – Spells engraved here became innate talents, instantly castable.
2. Amplification – Altar-inscribed spells gained power with reduced cost.
3. Storage – The structure could accumulate and refine energies.
"Innate spells will become my trump cards!"
