The reason there was only one immortal seed was because a person had only one life origin.
Since he could not forge multiple immortal seeds, Jiang Ping An planned to create two immortal roots upon a single immortal seed.
It was not as though no one had thought of this idea before. Some had even tested it—and succeeded.
However, although they had forged two immortal roots, their grades were abysmal. The immortal roots they produced did not even reach one-star grade.
The reason was simple. When an immortal seed nurtured an immortal root, at that instant, it drew away all the energy and origin within the immortal seed, carrying the Heavenly Dao laws into birth.
If two immortal roots were nurtured at once, the laws of the Heavenly Dao would be divided into two portions, leaving both immortal roots innately deficient.
To give an inappropriate example, in the village where he had grown up, an ordinary family could usually support at most one child. If they had too many children, life would become difficult, the children would suffer from malnutrition, and it would be hard for them all to grow up, causing them to die young.
Some had wanted to use resources to make up for those innate deficiencies, but the moment the immortal roots condensed, everything had already been decided. The Heavenly Dao laws had already been divided and could not be made whole afterward.
As for why Jiang Ping An wanted to try, the reason was equally simple: he had thought of a cheating method to deceive the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
That method was "time."
At the instant the immortal roots condensed, he would use Time Power to rewind his body while preserving the growth of the immortal root. Then, he would use Time Power to
