Improving Spiritual Root Aptitude

The page of the Daoist Tome slowly revealed many characters, each emitting a faint golden light.

Cultivation Method Name: Tai Ling Jue!

A martial artist's martial dao aptitude.

It is divided into gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, dark, and light, nine attribute aptitudes.

Attribute aptitudes are further divided into nine grades!

Grade one is the lowest, and grade nine is the highest.

For example, a grade one fire spiritual root martial dao aptitude has the lowest affinity for the fire attribute and is usually called poor aptitude.

However, a grade nine fire spiritual root aptitude indicates that this person has a very high affinity for the fire attribute. When cultivating fire-attribute cultivation methods and fire-attribute combat skills, their progress can be described as a thousand miles in a day compared to others.

Martial dao aptitude is innate. Those with great fortune may be born with extremely high martial dao aptitude.

There is also the possibility of inheriting the aptitude of an ancestor, though this possibility is not high.

"This cultivation method can modify aptitude, doesn't that mean I can arbitrarily modify anyone's aptitude? As long as they cultivate Tai Ling Jue!"

"This kind of cultivation method probably exceeds the Heavenly grade category; it's not a cultivation method that can be created by human power."

Just then, the Daoist Tome turned a page, and golden characters continued to emerge slowly.

[To cultivate Tai Ling Jue and improve spiritual root aptitude, the Daoist Tome must be used in conjunction!]

Then, a few more words slowly emerged: Tai Ling Jue can only be cultivated by him. After he learns it, he can modify others' aptitudes in conjunction with the Daoist Tome.

Buzz!

The Daoist Tome suddenly shone with golden light, and a beam of golden light entered Ye Hao's mind.

Ye Hao felt a severe headache as a large amount of memories was forcibly injected into his mind.

It turned out that there were nine Heavenly Books in this world. The Daoist Tome was just one of them, along with the Body Tome, Time Tome, and others. According to the information provided by the Daoist Tome, if one could gather all nine Heavenly Books, they would be invincible under heaven and earth, eternal, and immortal!

Ye Hao took a deep breath and immediately merged the Daoist Tome into his divine soul.

He then fell into thought.

Currently, the only person he could fully trust was his father, Ye Wuchen. He could improve his father's aptitude first.

Ye Hao immediately went to the courtyard where Ye Wuchen lived. Ye Wuchen had just finished his cultivation.

Seeing Ye Hao, a faint joy flashed in Ye Wuchen's eyes. "Not bad, you've already broken through to the Qi Realm Second Layer."

"You can see through my realm at a glance. It seems Father has recovered to the Fifth Great Realm," Ye Hao said calmly. Only after reaching the Fifth Great Realm could one see through others' cultivation, as spiritual sense is born in the Fifth Great Realm.

Ye Wuchen chuckled and nodded. "But that's still not enough. I need to continue recovering. By the way, what did you want to see me about, kid?"

Ye Hao said, "I have a way to improve spiritual root aptitude."

Ye Wuchen's heart trembled slightly, and he looked at Ye Hao in surprise. A way to improve spiritual root aptitude?

Could spiritual root aptitude be improved?

He had, after all, come into contact with one of the strongest forces on this continent, yet he had never heard of any method to improve spiritual root aptitude.

"You want to help me improve my spiritual roots?" Ye Wuchen asked.

Ye Hao nodded lightly.

Ye Wuchen fell silent. After a moment, he sat down and said calmly, "When I left the Eastern Region back then, I met an extraordinary person. This person's martial dao aptitude was very ordinary, merely a grade one gold spiritual root. His affinity for the gold element was very low, but he shattered my view of the martial dao at the time. With a grade one gold spiritual root aptitude, he cultivated to the Sixth Great Realm and showed signs of breaking through to the Seventh Great Realm."

Ye Hao also sat down. His expression was calm. "Martial dao aptitude is innate. Everyone thinks that low martial dao aptitude means one cannot go far. In reality, cultivation pays more attention to comprehension. Comprehension can be achieved through extensive research and practice, or a flash of inspiration one day can lead to enlightenment. Are you trying to say that cultivation pays more attention to comprehension and one should try not to rely too much on aptitude?"

Ye Wuchen chuckled, realizing he could no longer treat his son as just a child.

"I'll improve your spiritual root aptitude. It's better than nothing," Ye Hao said at this moment.

"Good," Ye Wuchen nodded lightly.

Then the two entered the house, and Ye Hao began to modify Ye Wuchen's aptitude.

Ye Wuchen's original martial dao aptitude was not very good, but his comprehension was high, and his cultivation speed was much faster than most people's.

After Ye Hao's modifications, Ye Wuchen's martial dao aptitude became a grade nine gold spiritual root!

As for other spiritual roots, Ye Hao did not improve them. Improving too much would be too monstrous, and if it were known, it would cause a lot of trouble.

The father and son chatted for a long time.

They started by discussing martial dao cultivation, then moved on to the current crisis, and finally chatted casually about family matters.

Ye Hao stayed for two hours and then left.

Night fell.

Lin Shige and her sister were both sleepy and had already fallen asleep. Ye Hao secretly improved their spiritual root aptitudes.

Both had their water spiritual roots improved to grade six.

Afterward, Ye Hao also went to sleep.

The next day, after breakfast, the sisters began to cultivate. They discovered that their cultivation speed seemed to have increased significantly. Things they hadn't understood about their cultivation methods before suddenly became clear.

The two didn't think too much about it, instead calming their minds and cultivating diligently.

Not long after, a knock sounded at the courtyard gate, followed by Ye Paopao's anxious voice, "Brother Ye Hao, Brothers Ye Chen and Ye Feng were beaten by Xia Zhangjian! Xia Zhangjian's maid threatened us, saying that if you don't accept his challenge for a day, he will humiliate Brothers Ye Chen and Ye Feng every time!"

Ye Paopao said anxiously and angrily, "Xia Zhangjian is too despicable! To force Brother Ye Hao to accept the challenge, he resorted to such lowly tactics. Brother Ye Hao, can you go over and beat Xia Zhangjian soundly?"

The courtyard gate was pushed open.

"Let's go!"

A surge of anger churned within Ye Hao. He was a person who preferred peace and quiet, yet someone kept forcing him to act!

On the East Moon Academy's Martial Arts Stage, Xia Zhangjian, clad in white, sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed, resting.

Below the Martial Arts Stage, Ye Chen and Ye Feng were bruised and swollen, with multiple cracks in their bones and their clothes stained with blood.

A group of young men and women from the Ye Family supported Ye Chen and Ye Feng, their faces filled with rage.

One young Ye Family girl clenched her fists tightly, her eyes brimming with intense grievance and anger, tears streaming down her face.

She desperately wanted to go onto the stage and beat Xia Zhangjian soundly!

But she was only thirteen years old, having only begun cultivating at the academy for a year, and was no match for Xia Zhangjian.

"Xia Zhangjian, you are truly despicable!"

The Ye Family girl's voice was still a bit tender, her face still bearing traces of childishness. Her voice echoed for a hundred meters around.

Hundreds of academy students who witnessed this scene shook their heads inwardly.

Xia Zhangjian's objective was clear: injuring Ye Chen and Ye Feng was solely to force Ye Hao to appear.

"Be sensible and have Ye Hao come out to fight immediately, otherwise, your Ye Family members will not have an easy time!"

The speaker was Xia Zhangjian's maid. Her expression was arrogant, her voice icy. Her young master beating Ye Chen and Ye Feng had avenged her somewhat. Thinking back to yesterday when she was humiliated by Ye Hao and Ye Paopao, she was filled with rage and frustration!
