Seven days later.
Ye Qingxuan, who was cultivating, suddenly felt a massive and gentle energy pour into his body out of nowhere, continuously merging and transforming with his spiritual power.
Ye Qingxuan was slightly startled. After reacting, he began to fully operate the Earth Source Art to cooperate with this energy and break through his own bottleneck.
Soon, after merely a moment had passed, the spiritual power in Ye Qingxuan's dantian began to condense into the first drop of liquid spiritual power.
Immediately after, once the first drop of liquid spiritual power was successfully condensed, it began to rain spiritual power within Ye Qingxuan's dantian. Drop after drop of liquefied spiritual power fell continuously, gathering into a small spiritual power pond in Ye Qingxuan's dantian.
At the same time, Ye Qingxuan's physical body began to frantically devour the spiritual power from the outside world and within his body.
The microparticles of the major elements within the spiritual power were continuously absorbed by Ye Qingxuan's physical body, brought into the mustard seed space deep within the flesh, and began to constantly perfect Ye Qingxuan's body.
Along with the continuous perfection of the human body microcosm, Ye Qingxuan's body also began to undergo a transformation. Physical strength, meridian toughness, bone strength, and even his whole body organs were elevated by a tier.
The Earth Source Art cultivated by Ye Qingxuan appeared to be an earth attribute cultivation method, but it was actually an attributeless cultivation method fused with a special earth attribute spell.
Most cultivation methods in the Dihuan Realm nowadays were attributeless, and only an extremely few cultivation methods were attribute cultivation methods.
Because spiritual energy inherently contained all elements in the world, cultivating attributeless cultivation methods was the most stable way to exert the maximum utility of spiritual energy.
Cultivating attributeless cultivation methods not only allowed cultivators to practice spells of all attributes, but during cultivation, spiritual energy would continuously merge into the human body, allowing the human body to constantly transform and evolve as realms improved.
On the other hand, cultivating attribute cultivation methods, although taking an unconventional path and able to erupt with astonishing might in the early stage, could only cultivate earth attribute spells corresponding to the attribute cultivation method.
Spiritual energy originally possessed all elemental particles in the world it belonged to, and attribute cultivation methods were the extreme act of assimilating all elemental particles in the spiritual energy into the exact same attribute.
Spiritual power with only a single attribute would not only fail to nourish the body, but would also continuously disrupt the body's balance, causing the cultivator's body to be extremely frail.
Therefore, when attribute cultivation methods were cultivated to the late stage, it would severely cause bodily imbalance, easily leading to going astray and becoming possessed and exploding and die.
By cultivating attributeless cultivation methods, cultivators could practice spells of any attribute, which was a tremendous advantage. It could also reduce the process of attribute cultivation methods assimilating spiritual energy elemental attributes and accelerate cultivation speed.
It was precisely these reasons that caused most attribute cultivation methods to have long since been eliminated by the major top powers of the Dihuan Realm amidst the long history of the Dihuan Realm's immortal path.
The reason why the Xuantian Sect required disciples with earth attribute spirit roots to cultivate the Earth Source Art was simply because having the corresponding spirit root and cultivating corresponding attribute spells could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Without the corresponding spirit root, one could still cultivate such attribute spells; it was just that the difficulty of cultivation would be somewhat greater.
The two main effects of a spirit root were increasing the traction and refinement speed of spiritual energy, and allowing one to achieve twice the result with half the effort when cultivating corresponding attribute spells.
Inside the Qingxuan Blessed Land.
With the passage of time, after Ye Qingxuan completely absorbed all the origin fed back when the blessed land took shape.
The aura around his body began to violently erupt and expand outward, and a pressure far surpassing Qi Refining Perfection permeated the air from within his body.
Ye Qingxuan slowly opened his eyes. After two dazzling rays of light flickered for a moment, they slowly vanished under Ye Qingxuan's control, revealing his bright eyes.
Feeling his own cultivation realm, Ye Qingxuan wore a joyful expression and chuckled softly:
"Foundation Establishment Middle Stage! The effect is not bad!"
That was right. Because the spirit land he contracted was a late first-order spirit land, it directly became a late first-order blessed land after taking shape, so the feedback origin was somewhat more abundant, allowing Ye Qingxuan to reach the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage in one fell swoop.
Because of the special connection with his natal clone the eternal turtle, he could enjoy all the benefits after contracting the blessed land, while allowing his natal clone the eternal turtle to bear all the constraints of the blessed land.
After the breakthrough, Ye Qingxuan was just about to get up to inspect his Qingxuan blessed land, but he did not expect that at this moment, the mysterious yellow bead in his mind, which had been motionless all along, began to vibrate violently.
The next moment, before giving Ye Qingxuan time to react, an immense information flood poured out from this mysterious bead and was instilled into his mind space.
Ye Qingxuan directly fell into an unconscious slumber, beginning to passively receive this massive piece of information.
Three days and nights later, Ye Qingxuan slowly regained consciousness.
Without paying attention to his aching mind, Ye Qingxuan's eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.
He knew that the mysterious bead that had traversed through space alongside him would never disappoint him.
Indeed, his guess was not wrong, and the surprise was even greater than he had imagined.
He understood from the information he received that this mysterious yellow bead was a world pearl, which contained the complete legacy of the entire Earth Immortal Path.
It included not only the earth immortal cultivation method, but also complete legacies in all aspects such as alchemy, artifact crafting, formations, talismans, spirit plants, beast taming, and so on.
Now, he had only received some special information as well as all legacies below the immortal realm. The remaining legacy had turned into a halo, condensing behind the solid soul origin body's brain within Ye Qingxuan's mind space.
The reason why the world pearl had an abnormal reaction when he first heard the two words 'blessed land' was because a blessed land was one of the keys to the cultivation of the Earth Immortal Path.
It could be said that the blessed cultivators researched by successive generations of the Dihuan Realm were actually practicing a fragmented earth immortal cultivation method.
The true earth immortal method not only had blessed lands, but also cave heavens!
The combination of cave heavens and blessed lands was the true Earth Immortal Path.
And the world pearl in his mind was the best exotic treasure for opening up cave heavens!
Only after opening up cave heavens could cave heavens and blessed lands complement each other, which would not only greatly increase the cultivation assistance effect for the cultivator, but also greatly reduce the flaws.
Just like how a blessed cultivator would have their energy absorbed by the blessed land, causing their cultivation speed to be hundreds of times slower, but if it were the earth immortal method, cave heavens and blessed lands would complement each other, with energies circulating and mutually reinforcing each other, this situation could be perfectly avoided.
Moreover, under the joint effect of cave heavens and blessed lands, the speed at which the cultivator grew spirit roots would also be greatly increased.
The benefits did not stop there. After a blessed land advanced, there would be origin feedback, and after a cave heaven advanced, there would likewise be origin feedback.
Cave heavens and blessed lands were classified from tier one to ten. If all cave heavens and blessed lands were opened up and nurtured to the tenth order, it would be enough to provide Ye Qingxuan with origin feedback twenty times to elevate his cultivation realm.
Furthermore, once the tenth-order cave heaven and blessed land were fused into one, they could even transform into a lesser world, making Ye Qingxuan a world master.
When that time came, it would be hard for him not to take off even if he wanted to.
Of course, wanting cave heavens and blessed lands to advance smoothly was not that easy.
The only drawback of the Earth Immortal Path was that as the realm improved and cave heavens and blessed lands continuously advanced, the entanglements between the cultivator and the cave heavens and blessed lands would become deeper and deeper.
In the end, one succeeded because of cave heavens and blessed lands, and failed because of cave heavens and blessed lands, making it difficult to achieve ultimate detachment.
