Spirit-Gathering Vortex, Purification!
Elder He's words infuriated the surrounding bigwigs so much that they almost bit their gums until they bled!
However, they also knew that Elder He was absolutely right.
To artificially create another Spirit-Gathering Vortex? That's nothing short of a pipe dream.
This is something that can only be accomplished by truly harnessing the power of heaven and earth, and not just any ordinary power, but the power of the earth's veins across the entire Four Continents.
The right timing, the right location, and the right people are all essential; if any one of these is missing, there is absolutely no possibility of success.
So getting angry won't do any good...
"Old He... stop showing off here. Fine, name it if you want, but tell me, what's the point of this Spirit-Gathering Vortex? It's not just to add a color to the spirit stone, is it? If it's to strengthen the spirit stone, then it's pretty much the same as the Cui Clan's Heart of the Earth..."
Cheng Xiaotian then spoke up from the side.
Upon hearing Cheng Xiaotian's words, the other bigwigs around him nodded in agreement, indicating that City Lord Cheng said made perfect sense.
This thing looks almost identical to the Heart of the Earth right now.
The Cui Clan's Heart of the Earth can amplify spirit stones. If this Spirit-Gathering Vortex also amplifies spirit stones, wouldn't it be similar to the Heart of the Earth?
Good heavens, now that Cheng Xiaotian has spoken, the most nervous people are definitely the Cui Clan.
You should know that the Cui Clan has made a fortune thanks to the Heart of the Earth. The number of forces seeking to enhance their spirit stones from the Cui Clan is so high that they've been lining up for ages.
If this Spirit-Gathering Vortex is also an amplification mechanism, then wouldn't it conflict with the function of the Heart of the Earth?
Look at how enormous this Spirit-Gathering Vortex is! If it truly has the same effect as the Heart of the Earth, wouldn't the Cui Clan suffer a devastating blow?
Just as the Clan Head Cui was extremely worried, Elder He suddenly burst into laughter!
"Haha... Amplification? You really underestimate the effects of this Spirit-Gathering Vortex, which was born from the power of the earth's veins and named by He Yanming of my Vast Heaven Holy Land, don't you?"
The entire audience. "..."
Damn, right now a bunch of big shots are so angry they're practically pissing blood!
Old He, we know you named it, you don't need to keep saying it...
In response to the remarks of these esteemed figures, Elder He the hell are you talking about? When did I repeatedly emphasize that it was named by He Yanming of the Vast Heaven Holy Land?
I just casually mentioned that it was named by He Yanming of my Vast Heaven Holy Land. If you hadn't said it was named by He Yanming of my Vast Heaven Holy Land, I, He Yanming, would never have told you that this Spirit-Gathering Vortex was named by He Yanming of my Vast Heaven Holy Land.
After all, everyone knows that the Spirit-Gathering Vortex was named by He Yanming of the Vast Heaven Holy Land. Since everyone knows this, why should I say that it was named by He Yanming of the Vast Heaven Holy Land?
The entire audience. "..."
Elder He didn't say anything more, but emphasized the matter of He Yanming naming the Vast Heaven Holy Land eighty-nine times.
Elder He then explained the true effects of the Spirit-Gathering Vortex.
At this moment, Elder He crushed the Ten-Colored Spirit Stone in his hand. In an instant, the Ten-Colored Spirit Stone turned into countless rays of light. Then, without saying anything more, Elder He directly absorbed all the rays of light generated after the Ten-Colored Spirit Stone was broken into his palm.
The Spirit Power that entered Elder He's body vanished completely within moments.
Seeing this, many young people at the scene looked bewildered, but the many bigwigs present were all shocked.
To the young people, Elder He seemed to have simply absorbed a spirit stone...
But it's a completely different story in the eyes of all the big shots.
It should be known that there are countless kinds of spirit stones in the world, ranging from the lowest grade to the highest grade Nine-Colored Spirit Stones and even Crimson Crystals.
Regardless of their quality, spirit stones are all treasures born from the heavens and earth, condensing Spirit Power. However, during the formation of a spirit stone, it does not only absorb Spirit Power; various impurities from the world also enter the spirit stone during the condensation process.
This is why the quality of spirit stones varies.
The more impurities a spirit stone contains, the lower its quality will be; conversely, the more impurities it contains, the higher its quality will be.
Regardless of the level of the spirit stone, even Nine-Colored Spirit Stone or a Crimson Crystal, it will always contain some impurities, only in much smaller quantities than other spirit stones.
Don't underestimate these impurities.
Under normal circumstances, two disciples with completely identical talents might have vastly different cultivation methods: one uses Nine-Colored Spirit Stone for cultivation, while the other uses a low-grade spirit stone.
Even if you use low-grade spirit stones in large quantities to achieve the same level as Nine-Colored Spirit Stones, the disciple who uses Nine-Colored Spirit Stones will still achieve greater success in the end.
Because the impurities in spirit stones will silently enter the disciple's body during cultivation. Of course, each major power also has its own secret methods to expel a large portion of these impurities.
However, no matter how much you expel, some will always remain in your body. You may not see anything in the short term, but as the amount of impurities increases, it will still have some subtle effects.
Not only in daily cultivation, but also when cultivators are stuck at a bottleneck in their cultivation level, why do they insist on using high-grade spirit stones?
Because high-grade spirit stones contain stronger Spirit Power and fewer impurities, the chances of breaking through are naturally higher.
After all, cultivators must be fully focused when breaking through barriers. If the spirit stone contains too many impurities, you will have to be distracted by dealing with these impurities, making it impossible to concentrate fully.
Therefore, at the crucial moment of breaking through the shackles, the higher the grade of the spirit stone, the greater the chance of breakthrough.
Even the Nine-Colored Spirit Stone will inevitably contain impurities.
Elder He just crushed the Ten-Colored Spirit Stones, and all the Spirit Power entered Elder He body. This was nothing unusual, but under normal circumstances, Elder He should have been absorbing the Spirit Power while also expelling the impurities contained in the spirit stones from his body.
After all, with Elder He's level of cultivation, it would be virtually impossible for any impurities to remain in Elder He body.
But all the big shots saw it clearly just now: Elder He did not make any move to expel impurities!
What does this tell us?
This proves that there are absolutely no impurities in the Ten-Colored Spirit Stones!
This means that the Ten-Colored Spirit Stones are absolutely pure spirit stones! They are spirit stones that do not require the removal of impurities!
What does such a spirit stone mean?
No matter what level of cultivator you are, when you break through to a higher realm and use spirit stones, you don't need to worry at all about impurities affecting the breakthrough effect...
Some people have calculated that, for example, if someone breaks through from Fifth Rank to Sixth Rank using low-grade spirit stones, the success rate is about 40%...
However, if they use high-grade spirit stones, the success rate might be 50% or even 60%. If they could use spirit stones with a divine light, the success rate could reach 70%...
If you use the Seven-Colored Spirit Stone, you might have an 80% or higher success rate.
If it's Crimson Crystal or Nine-Colored Spirit Stone... then your success rate might be close to 90% or even higher!
But even the Nine-Colored Spirit Stones contain impurities!
Therefore, these impurities will subtly reduce your chances of success in making a breakthrough.
However, there is no way around it; all known spirit stones throughout history must contain impurities.
But today... Elder He's use of the Nine-Colored Spirit Stone made all the big shots realize what had happened!
"Spirit-Gathering Vortex... purification?"
At this moment, all the bigwigs probably understood.
The effect of this Spirit-Gathering Vortex is not for amplification... If it were for amplification, then even if the Spirit-Gathering Vortex were stronger, it would at most be an enlarged version of the Heart of the Earth.
But this purification is completely different!
Of all the cultivators Four Continents, who doesn't need to break through to a higher level?
Who wouldn't want to increase their chances of breaking through?
The Nine-Colored Spirit Stone I mentioned earlier can increase a cultivator's chance of breaking through to over 90%, which refers to breaking through from the Fifth Rank to the Sixth Rank.
As we all know, the path of cultivation is like sailing against the current; the higher one's cultivation level, the more difficult it is to break through.
If this is the case for Fifth Rank to Sixth Rank, then if it is raised to Seventh Rank, Eighth Rank, or even Ninth Rank or above, the success rate of using Nine-Colored Spirit Stones will definitely be greatly reduced. Let alone ninety percent, even forty or fifty percent would be considered extremely high.
In the Four Continents, it's not like you can just reach a critical point in your cultivation and immediately find a place to break through... Do you think everyone is a peerless genius? That breaking through is as easy as drinking water?
Aside from those with exceptional talent, most cultivators need to make various preparations before breaking through...
Formations, spirit stones, spirit herbs... it's normal for some cultivators to prepare for a year or two before breaking through. To increase the success rate of a breakthrough by even 10%, it's common for them to travel all over the Four Continents to collect materials.
But now, the appearance of these Ten-Colored Spirit Stones has absolutely shattered everyone's understanding.
These Ten-Colored Spirit Stones are completely pure and free of any impurities. This means that you don't need to worry about impurities or be distracted during your breakthrough process.
Elder He estimated that if these Ten-Colored Spirit Stones were used during a breakthrough, the success rate could be increased by at least 10% or even 20%!
When Elder He said these words, everyone in the room gasped. At that moment, everyone looked at the Spirit-Gathering Vortex with bloodshot eyes!
What does a success rate of 10% to 20% mean?
Many powerful individuals would risk everything to increase their chances of success by even a fraction of a percent during a breakthrough...
Now someone is telling you that you don't need to take any risks; by simply using the Ten-Colored Spirit Stones, your original 30% success rate could potentially be increased to 50%...
A success rate of 20% is a terrifying number...
So at this moment, all the big shots across the Four Continents were practically drooling with envy as they stared at the Spirit-Gathering Vortex!
It's no exaggeration to say that at this moment, only the Spirit-Gathering Vortex belonged to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, which is why no one dared to move it recklessly. If the Spirit-Gathering Vortex didn't belong to the Vast Heaven Holy Land, then Down-and-Out Mountain would probably be a river of blood right now...
Because everyone understands that, let alone ten spirit mines... even a hundred or a thousand spirit mines cannot compare to the value of this Spirit-Gathering Vortex!
The Ten-Colored Spirit Stone is a divine object that can drive cultivators across the entire Four Continents mad!
