Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root vs. Heavenly Spirit Root
As soon as Qin Zimo said this, everyone immediately realized how inappropriate Cui Yuan's words had been.
The scene suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
Cui Yuan himself belatedly realized that his words had offended almost 99% of the cultivation Immortal Realm.
It should be noted that there are very few Heavenly Spirit Root. Many cultivators are accumulating Energy Points in preparation to buy Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root to change their cultivation aptitude.
He was about to speak in his defense when an angry shout rang out beside him.
The speaker was his staunch confidant, Qi Yuan, the sixth elder of the Cloud Soaring Pavilion.
"Qin Zimo, how dare you! You actually misinterpret the meaning of the sect leader's words."
The sect leader was merely offering a well-intentioned reminder that Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root might pose hidden dangers; he had no intention of belittling anyone.
Upon hearing this, Qin Zimo merely pursed his lips. "Whether that's what you mean or not, everyone here understands it clearly."
Could it be that Elder Qi has a hearing problem and didn't hear clearly?
"How dare you!"
Qi Yuan's face turned ashen with rage. "You have repeatedly offended the sect leader, committing insubordination. Do you know your crime?"
And you dare say I have hearing problems? Since you think Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root are useful...
"How about we have a match and see just how strong you really are after you've had Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root implanted?"
Qin Zimo spoke calmly and deliberately:
"Elder Qi, you flatter me. I would never dare to offend the sect leader. I was only speaking up for the sake of the sect."
As for our competition
Although I have just broken through to the Late Stage of the Void Return Realm, what do we cultivators have to fear in a battle?
Knowing that Qin Zimo was a formidable fighter and that Qi Yuan might not be able to win, Cui Yuan immediately frowned and spoke up to stop him:
"Enough! You are all elders of your sects, arguing and even wanting to compete in public, what kind of behavior is this?"
He paused, then changed the subject, his tone softening slightly, but still leaving no room for argument:
"What I just said could indeed be misunderstood, but as Elder Qi said, my intention was simply to remind everyone that there might be hidden dangers in Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root, and I had no other intention."
This matter ends here and should not be discussed further in the future!
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly released the powerful aura of the Dao Integration Realm, and the pressure swept across the entire area like a tidal wave.
Everyone present felt an overwhelming pressure, their breath caught in their throats, and their faces showed expressions of horror.
Qin Zimo withstood the pressure, and seeing that Cui Yuan was somewhat embarrassed and angry, he decided to back down while he was ahead.
After all, the other party's cultivation level far surpasses his own, and truly angering him would be a bad thing.
However, after this incident, Cui Yuan's biased and unfair handling of matters, as well as his open discrimination against cultivators with non- Heavenly Spirit Root, has greatly diminished the sect leader's prestige.
This outcome can be seen as a way of venting my frustrations from the past.
Cui Yuan glanced at the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, a satisfied smile flashing across his lips.
He then unleashed a beam of spiritual light that enveloped Xiao Ran, and the two of them vanished in a flash.
Qi Yuan glared fiercely at Qin Zimo, snorted coldly, and then transformed into a streak of light, following closely behind Cui Yuan.
Qin Zimo gazed in the direction the two had left, his eyes narrowing slightly as he thought to himself:
By publicly challenging Cui Yuan today, one will surely be targeted by him in the future.
His own cultivation level was far inferior to Cui Yuan's, and the others had just received Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root, so their cultivation levels were still low.
It's clear that there's still a long way to go before they can seize control of the sect.
However, the advantage ultimately lies with us. Given time, as more people use Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root to change their aptitude and improve their cultivation, we will surely be able to reverse the current situation.
With this thought in mind, he turned around, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, pausing briefly on Zhao Xin, before he said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, I hope you will cultivate diligently, strive to earn Energy Points, and purchase Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root as soon as possible to change your cultivation aptitude."
Only by improving one's cultivation level can one avoid being looked down upon and live with dignity.
As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped looking at the crowd's reactions, moved, and transformed into a streak of light, instantly disappearing from the spot.
After Qin Zimo left, the people present looked at each other in bewilderment, then began to whisper among themselves:
"Elder Qin is right! The cultivation Immortal Realm is all about strength. Only when our cultivation level increases can we truly hold our heads high."
It shouldn't be like today, where we're clearly in the right, yet lack the confidence to even refute it.
"Hmph! My aptitude held me back before, which is why my cultivation progressed so slowly."
Now that we have Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root, and with our superior numbers, we will sooner or later surpass those who Innate Heavenly Spirit Root.
"That's right! One day, we will trample those arrogant people with Heavenly Spirit Root under our feet and never have to suffer this kind of humiliation again!"
At this moment, the barrage of comments in the live stream was like a tidal wave, almost drowning out the screen.
"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I never imagined I'd witness infighting within a cultivation sect in my lifetime. I wouldn't have dared to even dream of this before. I have to give them a reward!"
"So cultivators also have emotions and desires, and they protect their own people. They're not so different from us."
"The head of the Cloud Soaring Pavilion, Cui Yuan, clearly discriminates against those who have been implanted with Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root, yet he stubbornly refuses to admit it and insists on making excuses. In the end, he even tried to intimidate people with his cultivation level. His skin is too thick."
"Cloud Soaring Pavilion is about to put on a good show!"
Those who have been implanted with Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root Innate Heavenly Spirit Root have already formed an adversarial relationship; who knows when they will completely clash.
"Zhao Xin is so pitiful! He defeated the Holy Son Xiao Ran twice, but not only did he not receive the reward, he was also scolded. Cui Yuan's actions are simply outrageous!"
"If he does this, who will dare to join Cloud Soaring Pavilion in the future?"
"I was originally planning to join Cloud Soaring Pavilion, but after watching this live stream, I realized that it's more comfortable to cultivate on my own."
After all, even if you get into the Cloud Soaring Pavilion, there's no hope of advancement. In the end, you'll still be at the bottom and face even more discrimination.
"It's better to cultivate alone. Anyway, as long as you have Energy Points, you can get Cultivation Method and resources. Why bother putting up with that kind of trouble?"
"Agreed! I cultivate alone now, free and unrestrained by any sect."
"Cui Yuan's words offended almost everyone in the cultivation Immortal Realm."
I'm really curious, what are those cultivators who have had Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root implanted feeling right now?
"Ha! Right now I just want to find a cultivator with Heavenly Spirit Root from the Cloud Soaring Pavilion and beat him up, pin him to the ground and grind him to dust, so he'll know who's the boss."
"I'm so angry! From now on, whenever I see a cultivator with Heavenly Spirit Root from the Cloud Soaring Pavilion, I'll beat them up every time!"
Cui Yuan actually dared to call us heretics and evildoers! This is utterly outrageous!
"Those with Heavenly Spirit Root still act superior; they're truly clueless."
"Heavenly Spirit Root are no longer rare; some people even Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root. Cultivation aptitude is no longer the key factor."
After watching the live stream, Liu Yi couldn't help but smile.
It seems that within the cultivation sects, cultivators with implanted Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root and those with Innate Heavenly Spirit Root have already formed a antagonistic relationship. It remains to be seen how this situation will develop.
But no matter how things ultimately turn out, for him, the best outcome would be to divide the cultivation sects and prevent them from becoming a monolithic entity.
In this way, they will be unable to unite against a common enemy, prolonging the time before the conflict between the Immortal Cultivation System and the Dao Seed Martial Dao System erupts, or even preventing the conflict from happening at all.
As long as there are conflicts within cultivation sects, they will inevitably rely more on Fairness System to improve their strength in order to avoid falling behind others.
This is exactly what he wanted to see.
