Cha Lang gave a mysterious smile. "It might not be as flashy as all those superpowers, but it goes straight to the core of life and can take you all the way to the spirit limit. Of course, even among our Sages, very few have reached that limit. There have only been a handful throughout history."
Zhang Ming's heart gave a heavy thump.
The spirit limit-another important key term!
Breaking through the "human limit" did not mean he was set for life. Beyond it lay an even greater bottleneck: the spirit limit!
The "human limit" was the limit of the physical body.
The spirit limit, as its name suggested, was the limit of the soul.
Even a Heaven Tier fate core could only reach a final strength of around 10,000-12,000. Anything higher would exceed the soul's limits.
Lightning control, for instance, had an upper limit of 12,300, putting it right on the threshold.
Among the various intelligent species, that upper limit might vary slightly from individual to individual, but regardless, the spirit limit definitely existed.
Zhang Ming calmed his pounding heart and began to feel a little anticipation for "diamond," an important legacy of the Blue Crystal People.
Of course, it had its advantages and disadvantages.
Breaking through the bottleneck with the Breathing Technique required merging three innate talents, and the final upper limit depended on those three talents. Yellow Tier talents only yielded an upper limit of a little over two thousand points. Only Heaven Tier talents could reach the spirit limit.
Breaking through with "diamond" set the upper limit directly at 12,000, but the three innate skills would be gone.
Attribute points or skills-it was a difficult choice.
That was why the Blue Crystal People also learned powerful acquired abilities to compensate for certain shortcomings in their superpowers.
