Swordsman of the Sword God
Ch. 188 - New Things
this question shocked all of them, especially Wang Ying, Ling Yan and Xin Tian. Ling Xi was not surprised because Fei Hung had previously told her that it would give her a lot of strength. As long as it was Fei Hung, Ling Xi would not refuse anything she would do and felt the slightest worry.
Not long after, they all nodded with a strong determination on their faces.
They knew this was the price to pay to be able to become strong like Fei Hung, but they would happily do so! Because nothing will come easily and for free!
"Good." Fei Hung nodded with a faint smile.
"First of all, I need to tell you that you cannot tell anyone what I will do, give and train to you, not a single word!" Fei Hung looked at them with a serious expression.
They all nodded quickly as they sweated nervously, knowing that Fei Hung's secret or whatever Fei Hung was about to tell them soon, they would know.
Fei Hung looked at the expressions of the three and agreed.
"I'm a cultivator !"
A few seconds later, Fei Hung began to speak slowly.
It didn't take long for all of them to get their answers.
"A cultivator is someone who has embarked on a long, very difficult journey, while continuing to cultivate to become stronger over time. It's a bit like you martial artists, but cultivators chase the peak of Martial Dao or Martial Dao, build up strength and overcome life's tribulations."
Fei Hung went on to explain to them the basics of cultivation as well as Qi energy and things related to cultivation, causing them all to be shocked the longer they listened to Fei Hung.
"We pursue Eternity and even Deity ..." Fei Hung spoke solemnly, frowning at the last sentence as he was unsure if there was indeed another higher world outside of the God World.
Although Fei Hung was already one of the most powerful Gods in the God World, no one knew if there was indeed another world outside of the higher realms, or even if there were some realms that were stronger than the legendary Great Realm of the God World.
The four of them were dumbfounded to hear all this from Fei Hung.
According to them, these are like legal stories!
"You martial arts experts gather the energy within your body to increase your strength, while we, cultivators, gather the world's Qi energy, become stronger than you at the same level. Also our powers are classified as your martial arts rank, but in a different way. ."
Fei Hung observed that distrust remained on the faces of the four of them, so he decided not to overwhelm them with so much information.
"Once you reach a certain limit, your strength will increase over time, as it continues to cultivate more. You can do even more incredible things that no one else in your world can do." Fei Hung slowly explained.
“Brother, to reach your level, how long will it take us to reach it?” Xin Tian asked curiously while pondering what Fei Hung said.
If his cultivation was almost similar to the inner energy they gathered, it wouldn't take them several years to return to their present rank, or even longer.
How long will they reach the same level as Fei Hung?
But if Fei Hung was the same age as them, then how did he become stronger than them?
Fei Hung thought for a few seconds while counting the time, and then replied, "If you cultivate hard from now on, you will need at least 30 years at least to reach my level."
Fei Hung knew that in this small world, as much as they could achieve, it would reach the realm of Qi Formation, and that was with hard work. The Qi from the surface of this small world was very, very rare.
"It was a very long time!"
"Remember that 30 years for cultivators passed in the blink of an eye. Even 100 years as if only a few years had passed by itself."
This was all new to them, no wonder they thought it was such a long time, because they would live an average of 200 years if practicing martial arts, he said, so Fei Hung told them about the views and so on.
"But there are people who can reach that level even in half the time." Fei Hung turned around to look at Ling Xi.
Ling Yan and the other two also turned their heads to look at Ling Xi.
"There are some people who have a special Spirit Root, successfully advancing faster than the average normal cultivator, shortening cultivation time to increase their strength."
Ling Xi did not understand what Fei Hung meant by spirit roots. He looked at Fei Hung in confusion.
As Fei Hung examined Ling Xi's pulse as they flew through the air after he saved her when everyone was fighting outside Tianyun City, he found a complete spirit root in Ling Xi's body.
The night before, Fei Hung also went back to check on her when Ling Xi slept together and checked her pulse.
Spirit Roots gave great advantages to cultivators. The first and most recognized was their prominent cultivation speed. If it took an average ordinary cultivator over 30 years to reach the level of the Qi Refinement realm, then a cultivator with an average spirit root would need only 15 years or less.
Spirit roots, they are still one level below the special body roots.
If comparing Lin Meng and Huan Yin's special Ice body with Ling Xi, Lin Meng and Huan Yin would reach the Qi Formation realm in less than 10 years in this small world, he said, while Ling Xi would reach the same level in a minimum average of 15 years. Whereas those without spirit root would take more than 30 years.
And all of this without the help of external factors, such as God Crystals, Spirit Crystals, Spiritual Pills and any Inheritance that contained Spiritual Energy, was cultivating only with the surrounding natural energy.
It can be said that the special body itself is the final evolution or development of the spirit root.
The second advantage of having spirit roots, is the closeness to the elements that exist in nature.
At the time of battle, cultivators could even increase their strength potential by combining their attacking techniques with the relation of the natural elements in their bodies to the world realm and environment, respectively, and even extracting power from nature itself to increase their power, as well as harnessing it. From the element of nature in themselves or in their surroundings to do various things.
The 5 Spirit Roots that exist throughout Nature are Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal. These five spirit roots are called earth spirit roots.
There are 3 Special Spirit Roots, which is when spirit roots mutate or evolve, greatly increasing the benefits of cultivation and most importantly, transforming the body into a special physique i.e., Ice, Wind and Lightning.
In this case, Lin Meng had the Ice attribute as it was naturally related to the Water element spirit root, while Huan Yin interacted with the Wind Attribute once he reached the high realm.
And now, Fei Hung knew what spirit root Ling Xi had. Earth Spirit Root and related to the land attribute.
"Spirit's Rise?" Wang Ying asked puzzledly when no one understood what Fei Hung was saying. Everything Fei Hung said was new to them.
Fei Hung turned to look at Wang Ying while frowning.
After thinking about it for a while, Fei Hung reached out his hand and said to Wang Ying, "Grow your hand."
