Three years later, Fang Chen had broken through 130 layers of the Sun Barrier. During that time, he had absorbed Solar Power like a madman and continually worked out his Cultivation Technique. But as he did, he discovered that the Floating Immortal Art was still too powerful for an ordinary body to withstand.
In the end, Fang Chen divided the Floating Immortal Art into nine parts. In its complete form, it could absorb energy of any attribute and easily refine even Demonic Qi and Demonic Poison.
But the complete Floating Immortal Art was too powerful. Unless someone had a treasure like the Floating Immortal Sword to help them, their body simply could not withstand its domineering force.
So Fang Chen divided the Floating Immortal Art according to the Nine Major Attributes.
Most cultivators practiced a Cultivation Technique of only one attribute, then continued down that path. Quasi-Emperor Huo Li, for example, practiced a Fire Attribute Cultivation Method.
There were also people with dual-attribute or multi-attribute constitutions. The Ice Crystal Horned Tiger, for instance, was a mutant with an Ice and Lightning Dual Attribute constitution and could practice two attributes of the Floating Immortal Art at once.
Then there were people with multi-attribute Spiritual Roots. Since their Spiritual Roots possessed several attributes, they could theoretically practice several attributes of the Floating Immortal Art at the same time.
But although people with multi-attribute Spiritual Roots had many attributes, the rate at which they absorbed energy from the outside world was limited. If they tried to cultivate on several fronts at once, they might practice for a hundred years without ever reaching Foundation Establishment.
In theory, if these cultivators had long enough lifespans to accumulate power day after day, their multi-attribute Spiritual Roots would give them an overwhelming advantage once their Cultivation caught
