The original owner of this body had established his foundation rather hastily, and was not much different from an ordinary immortal cultivator. Moreover, because he had cultivated the rather unpopular wood-attributed Spirit Vein, his cultivation could only benefit from forests rich in wood energy.
Now that I was rebuilding my foundation and replacing that wood-attributed Spirit Vein with my own Heavenly Dao Spirit Vein as the primary one, the speed of my cultivation would reach the peak attainable within a given area. Of course, it was impossible to think that cultivating a Heavenly Dao technique would let me accomplish everything in a single bound. My absorption speed might be fast enough, but if the supply of Yin-Yang energy could not keep up, it would all be for nothing.
For one thing, my cultivation was still only at the Foundation Establishment Realm. Mobilizing the entire spirit-gathering formation required tremendous power. For example, the spiritual radiance from my current foundation rebuilding extended only three inches, whereas at the Spirit Manifestation Realm, it might reach dozens of meters. The area of absorption would then be several times larger. These were completely different concepts.
The area of absorption could naturally be changed as well, through medicines and crystals. Both could spread from a single point throughout my entire body. Thus, the value of these two things to immortal cultivators went without saying.
