Advantages and Limitations of Blessed Cultivators

Inside the Library Pavilion's special space!

Besides knowledge related to the rank advancement of those Spirit Plants and Spirit Veins, the books Ye Qingxuan had just read also recorded some secrets concerning Blessed Cultivators!

It turned out that to contract a Spirit Land, Become A Blessed Cultivator, and turn an ordinary Spirit Land into a Blessed Land, a cultivator had to separate a portion of his Essence Qi Spirit Origin and Integrate into Spirit Land Origin before Foundation Establishment, while his essence, qi, and spirit had yet to stabilize.

After a portion of a cultivator's Essence Qi Spirit Origin merged with the Spirit Land Origin, contracting and controlling the Spirit Land—

From then on!

The cultivator and the Spirit Land cultivated life together, remaining seated in one place, becoming a Blessed Cultivator!

The Spirit Land fused with the cultivator's Essence Qi Spirit Origin, underwent a transformation, gained the opportunity to accelerate its rank advancement, and became a Blessed Land.

And that was how Blessed Cultivators and Blessed Lands came to be.

The reason Blessed Cultivators could use Blessed Lands to achieve Spirit Root Growth—

Was because part of a cultivator's Essence Qi Spirit Origin merged with the Blessed Land Origin, while the Blessed Land itself was also part of the Dihuan Realm.

Therefore, the birth of Blessed Cultivators benefited the development of the Dihuan Realm. Under the Dihuan Realm's Origin Feedback, a Blessed Cultivator's Spirit Root would naturally grow slowly.

The higher the Blessed Land Level, the greater the Dihuan Realm's feedback, and the faster the Blessed Cultivator's Spirit Root grew.

This was precisely what Ye Qingxuan valued when he chose to Become A Blessed Cultivator.

But he had not expected that becoming a Blessed Cultivator actually required merging his own Essence Qi Spirit Origin!

He had originally planned to have the Eternal Turtle Clone bear the restrictions of being a Blessed Cultivator in his place. Under these circumstances, he did not know whether the origin separated by the Eternal Turtle Clone could replace his own Essence Qi Spirit Origin.

Forget it. Let nature take its course!

Even if his plan for the Eternal Turtle Clone to bear the restrictions of being a Blessed Cultivator failed, it was not as though he had no other hope.

With his own little calculations in mind, Ye Qingxuan continued reading.

After becoming a Blessed Cultivator, one did not need Tribulation Crossing to break through in cultivation; one could break through naturally.

Other cultivators plundered Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy to make breakthroughs, so the Dihuan Realm naturally sent down a test to see whether they were qualified to occupy a share of heaven and earth's resources.

During cultivation, Blessed Cultivators likewise contributed to the Dihuan Realm from another angle. Naturally, the Dihuan Realm would not send down Lightning Tribulation to obstruct their breakthroughs.

"I didn't expect such an unexpected surprise!"

Before reading these books, Ye Qingxuan had not known this.

This discovery delighted Ye Qingxuan greatly!

After all, Tribulation Crossing caused Not Small commotion. Crossing tribulation within the Xuantian Sect would undoubtedly expose him to everyone's eyes, which did not fit the development path he had planned.

Now that he knew Blessed Cultivators did not need Tribulation Crossing for breakthroughs, nothing could be better. The fewer people who paid attention to him, the better.

Although Ye Qingxuan now had a very favorable impression of the Xuantian Sect and felt that it was quite good, one must not harbor the intention to harm others, yet one must guard against others. It was better to keep his own life in his own hands as much as possible.

Reading further, Ye Qingxuan learned why the Earth Source Art he cultivated had become the exclusive Cultivation Method of Blessed Cultivator Academy disciples.

Under Normal Circumstances, the Success Rate of a cultivator separating his Essence Qi Spirit Origin and merging it into a Spirit Land was far too low.

Only after the Ancestors' repeated attempts did the Cultivation Method Ye Qingxuan cultivated, the Earth Source Art, come into being.

During the cultivation of the Earth Source Art, one continuously absorbed a portion of Earth Source Qi into one's essence, qi, and spirit. Earth Source Qi was one of the origins of Spirit Lands.

As one cultivated the Earth Source Art, one's essence, qi, and spirit continuously fused with Earth Source Qi.

When a cultivator of the Earth Source Art reached Qi Refining Perfection and was about to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, his essence, qi, and spirit would already have fused with sufficient Earth Source Qi. At that point, contracting a Spirit Land and merging his essence, qi, and spirit into the Spirit Land Origin became much easier.

Through the observations of successive generations, they discovered that cultivators with Earth Spirit Roots could cultivate the Earth Source Art with twice the result for half the effort, and basically faced no risk of failure when contracting a Spirit Land.

This was the true reason why the Xuantian Sect needed to select disciples with Earth Spirit Roots to become Blessed Cultivators!

It was not that cultivators with other Spirit Roots could not become Blessed Cultivators. Rather, only cultivators with Earth Spirit Roots could achieve a 100 Percent Success Rate after cultivating the Earth Source Art!

Moreover, after a Blessed Cultivator fell, his Blessed Land could be inherited and contracted anew by another cultivator.

This was also the only opportunity for Blessed Cultivators to directly contract Second-rank and above Blessed Land!

Other Blessed Cultivators could only begin by contracting First-rank Spirit Land, Transform Into it into a Blessed Land, and develop it slowly.

But a Blessed Land could only be passed down Three Times. After Three Times, it would slowly turn into an ordinary Spirit Land and merge into the Xuantian Mountain Range. Many High-grade Spirit Lands in the Xuantian Mountain Range had been born this way.

Therefore, quotas to inherit an Ancestor's Blessed Land were extremely precious. They could save Blessed Cultivators a great deal of time. At present, the High-grade Blessed Cultivators within the Xuantian Sect had basically all accumulated their inheritances this way through successive generations.

Ye Qingxuan knew his own limits and had no covetous thoughts toward such quotas. Nor did he care about the restriction that Blessed Lands could only be passed down Three Times.

His, Ye Qingxuan's, Blessed Land would naturally exist eternally alongside him. Outsiders could forget about ever having the chance to inherit his Blessed Land.

His hand continuously turning pages, Ye Qingxuan kept reading.

Suddenly, Ye Qingxuan paused. He had finally discovered the true reason Blessed Cultivators had no clones walking outside.

A Blessed Land could make one, and a Blessed Land could break one!

A portion of a cultivator's Essence Qi Spirit Origin merged with the Blessed Land Origin. It was precisely because of this that the Blessed Land became a cultivator's alternative External Incarnation.

This was the main reason Blessed Cultivators in the Xuantian Sect did not cultivate clones to travel outside.

Not only was cultivating a Clone Technique exceedingly expensive, but the restrictions of the Blessed Land also rendered ordinary clone and Puppet techniques useless.

Ordinary clones and Puppets simply could not leave the range of a Blessed Land.

Only an External Incarnation condensed from one's own Essence Qi Spirit Origin could escape this restriction.

But cultivating an External Incarnation had realm requirements and quantity limits. Only a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator could condense one External Incarnation, while a Void Glimpse Realm Great Power could condense a second External Incarnation!

When Blessed Cultivators contracted Blessed Lands through special methods, they had already occupied the quota for their first External Incarnation. Therefore, if Blessed Cultivators wished to condense another External Incarnation, under Normal Circumstances they had to wait until the Void Glimpse Realm.

That was a Void Glimpse Realm Great Power!

With the cultivation speed of Blessed Cultivators being hundreds of times slower, it was enough to make them despair and directly abandon any thought of condensing an External Incarnation.

The reason a Blessed Cultivator's Cultivation Speed was hundreds of times slower was that after becoming a Blessed Cultivator, 99 Percent of the spiritual energy he absorbed into his body would be absorbed by the Blessed Land Origin, leaving him only One Percent.

However, there was not no solution to a Blessed Cultivator's slow Cultivation Speed!

A Blessed Land absorbed the spiritual energy within a Blessed Cultivator only because it lacked the energy to evolve, instinctively absorbing the spiritual energy in his body as reserves for rank advancement.

So long as one provided the Blessed Land with immense energy, it naturally would no longer absorb that pitifully small amount of energy from the Blessed Cultivator!

Furthermore, after a Blessed Land advanced in rank, it would feed back to its Blessed Cultivator, ignoring the restrictions of Spirit Roots and directly increasing his cultivation. This was also one of the main methods by which Blessed Cultivators improved cultivation.

Not only that, under Normal Circumstances, cultivators accumulated Pill Toxin and developed resistance when taking Medicinal Pills.

After a period of time, cultivators needed to expend effort cultivating special Cultivation Methods, or consume special pure Medicinal Pills to purify the Pill Toxin in their bodies, before they could continue using Medicinal Pills for cultivation!

As an Alchemist, Ye Qingxuan naturally understood this very well.

The reason he had Not Yet developed resistance to the Spirit Augmentation Pill was merely because the Spirit Augmentation Pill was a Special Pill whose effect acted directly upon the Spirit Root rather than directly increasing his cultivation, so its Side Effect was much smaller.

But a much smaller Side Effect did not mean there was no Side Effect at all. Given enough time, Ye Qingxuan's body would sooner or later develop resistance to the Spirit Augmentation Pill!

Yet a Blessed Land could help Blessed Cultivators purify their bodies and resolve the issue of resistance to Medicinal Pills, allowing them to cultivate frequently with the aid of Medicinal Pills and make up for some of the shortcomings of their slow cultivation!

But all of this—all methods of resolving the slow cultivation of Blessed Cultivators—required the expenditure of vast amounts of resources.

To put it bluntly, those disciples who voluntarily became Blessed Cultivators, as well as those passively thrown into the Xuantian Sect by the Xuantian Sect's various Affiliated Forces and made into Blessed Cultivators—

In the eyes of the Xuantian Sect's various Affiliated Forces, they were essentially abandoned pawns responsible for producing resources. How could those forces possibly spend vast resources to nurture such discarded Blessed Cultivators?

After all, the final ownership of the Blessed Land did not belong to them.

Compared with these people, although the Ye Family Ye Qingxuan belonged to was not some Great Force, its support for Ye Qingxuan was already Not Small!

The Xuantian Sect nurtured Blessed Cultivators for resources. Spending A Little resources in the early stage to nurture Blessed Cultivator Reserve Disciples was already the utmost of benevolence and righteousness. How could it possibly spend immense resources to improve the cultivation of Blessed Cultivators?

After all, the Xuantian Sect was not a nanny for its Sect Disciples. It could not possibly consider everything for these disciples.

The Xuantian Sect was not the only one. Most other Hegemon-level Forces were the same.

This was also the main reason the various Hegemon-level Forces were willing to nurture Blessed Cultivator Reserve Disciples in the early stage, yet unwilling to spend resources cultivating Low-grade Blessed Cultivators.

There was no other reason. Blessed Cultivators were simply a giant pit; the resources required to cultivate Blessed Cultivators into High-level Cultivators were truly too great.

Some Low-Tier Resources were manageable, but as for High-tier Resources, even Hegemon-level Forces like the Xuantian Sect had extremely tight reserves.

If they could not cultivate Blessed Cultivators into High-grade Blessed Cultivators, then investing in the low ranks to produce one or two second- or third-rank Blessed Cultivators held absolutely no meaning for Hegemon-level Forces like the Xuantian Sect.

In any case, through the accumulation of time, after a Blessed Land had been inherited Three Times, High-grade Blessed Cultivators would naturally slowly emerge.

After all, the Assistance Effect of High-grade Blessed Lands on Low-grade Blessed Cultivators was far greater.
