The Pattern of Spirit Roots

Spirit Root!

This is the problem that has troubled Yi Xuan for the longest time in the world.

It can also be said to be the driving force behind his scientific research.

If it weren't for his Rootless Person constitution, Yi Xuan might have continued on the path of cultivation indefinitely.

As for Book of Technology, they will surely gather dust in his Sea of Consciousness.

We do not rule out the possibility that Yi Xuan launch the Book of Technology if they encounter even greater challenges in the future.

But if that had happened, things wouldn't have turned out the way they are today.

Therefore, while the identity of Rootless Person cut off Yi Xuan's possibility of cultivating immortality, it also opened a door to a new world for him invisibly.

Sometimes, when he asks himself honestly, Yi Xuan can be quite certain of one thing.

That is, if he had been able to cultivate immortality back then, he would have been just as helpless as other cultivators when faced with the Heavenly Dog crisis.

After all, the pinnacle of cultivation is only Nine-Tribulation Loose Immortal!

Even if Yi Xuan was exceptionally talented, so what?

Faced with the threat of the Heavenly Dog, even Nine-Tribulation Loose Immortal is nothing more than an insect.

Of course, nothing can be assumed.

Perhaps one day, Yi Xuan's technology will even be able to break through time, allowing him to roam freely in the river of destiny.

Go and try living a different kind of life.

But that's just a possibility, after all.

Whether he felt fortunate or resentful, Yi Xuan's life had already reached this point.

He could only use the technology at his disposal to try his best to resolve the Heavenly Dog crisis hanging over his head.

However, Yi Xuan's obsession with Spirit Root never ceased.

Despite the fact that Yi Xuan completely transformed the Cultivation Realm over the past two hundred years, he still managed to do so.

However, his own cultivation never stopped.

How should I put it?

Yi Xuan can no longer remember what level of the Qi Refining Realm he is at.

It's definitely over ten thousand floors!

Because he clearly remembered breaking through to the ten thousandth level of the Qi Refining Realm a hundred years ago.

However, nothing happened after breaking through the ten thousandth floor.

Yi Xuan simply stopped caring.

Cultivation is still cultivation, but it has become like exercising.

I do it twice a day.

Whether it works or not, I don't know; it's just for peace of mind.

After Hai Qingshi led the Sea Clan to wipe out the secret realm he was in charge of, he also learned from Yi Xuan about his Rootless Person situation.

He finally understood why he had been able to escape from Yi Xuan's clutches.

Elder Hai's secret technique is indeed of paramount importance.

But didn't Yi Xuan also turn a blind eye?

It should be noted that Yi Xuan was extremely envious of Hai Qingshi's Spirit Root Transfer Secret Technique.

To avoid ending up with nothing, Yi Xuan didn't want to pressure Hai Qingshi too much.

That's why the Hai Qingshi could leave so easily.

Otherwise, given the capabilities of the Aerospace Mothership at the time, it could have definitely killed Hai Qingshi the moment before he escaped.

Therefore, in order to support Yi Xuan, Hai Qingshi later took the initiative to pass on that secret technique to Yi Xuan.

No one can imagine how excited Yi Xuan was when he obtained the secret technique.

It seemed that the problem that had plagued him for nearly a century was about to be solved.

Surprisingly, Yi Xuan didn't even bother with the tests; he immediately activated his secret technique, eagerly awaiting the arrival of his Spirit Root.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

Having witnessed Hai Qingshi's success firsthand, Yi Xuan's Spirit Root remained unactivated even after he performed the secret technique.

The Spirit Root used for grafting did indeed enter Yi Xuan's body.

But then there was no further response.

Hai Qingshi, standing to the side, looked on with a puzzled expression.

You should know that this secret technique was obtained from Elder Hai.

Who is Elder Hai? He was once the Sea God of the sea.

He was the one who created the Sea Clan's Grand Star Formation.

Such an unparalleled expert was someone even Venerable Yuan had to treat with deference when he was alive.

Even after the Grand Star Formation failed, he did not admit defeat.

Instead, it chose to create the Eternal Sea we know today, even at the cost of its life.

What the Sea God didn't expect was that, by a stroke fortuitous opportunity luck, he had retained a trace of his true spirit after sacrificing his entire life.

This true spirit wandered in the Cultivation Realm for an unknown period of time, and when it regained consciousness, it appeared in Hai Qingshi's Sea of Consciousness.

This led to a series of events that subsequently occurred involving Hai Qingshi.

It's hard to imagine that such a powerful secret technique was completely useless against Yi Xuan.

Unwilling to give up, Yi Xuan made many more attempts.

But the result remained the same, regardless of whether the grafted Spirit Root was strong or weak.

They would all disappear after entering Yi Xuan's body.

Left with no other option, Yi Xuan had to try having others perform this secret technique.

Just like with the previous case involving Hai Qingshi, the secret technique succeeded on someone else.

And the success rate is terrifyingly high!

This applies even to ordinary people.

From that moment on, Yi Xuan's obsession with cultivating immortality finally vanished completely.

Aside from issuing an order to No. 01 to continue researching Spirit Root, Yi Xuan had not devoted even the slightest bit of energy to it.

Until one day not long ago.

No. 01 took the initiative to bring up the matter of Spirit Root with Yi Xuan.

After reviewing No. 01's research on Spirit Root over the years, Yi Xuan finally came to a conclusion.

Yi Xuan speculated that the reason he was Rootless Person and that even that secret technique was ineffective was probably due to technological limitations.

Through nearly two centuries of data collection and comparison, No. 01 made an astonishing discovery.

Data suggests that people who are more talented in technology tend to have weaker Spirit Root.

Just like Liang Shi, who clearly has an incredibly high talent for bioengineering, but Spirit Root is only at a barely passing level.

And it wasn't just Liang Shi.

It was discovered by No. 01 that in the past two hundred years, those who have achieved something in science and technology have generally not had very good Spirit Root.

Almost no one can surpass the Fifth-Grade Spirit Root.

Moreover, the higher a person's technological achievements, the less optimistic their Spirit Root condition is.

Just like Yi Xuan Niu Keli, Yixuan's top energy expert!

This guy's Spirit Root is among the worst even in the first rank.

It could be said that if he had taken another step back, he would have become Rootless Person, just like Yi Xuan.

As for the other research experts under Yi Xuan, they were all extremely rare, with only a handful capable of cultivation.

Of course, this discovery is only a matter of probability, not absolute.

Just like Zhuo Ning, he can neither cultivate immortality nor is he tech-savvy.

Such people do exist, but they are extremely rare.

Aside from speculating about Spirit Root through big data, No. 01 really didn't have any other means to conduct research.

After all, Spirit Root are mysterious and elusive, and from a technological perspective, they are impossible to grasp.

Therefore, there was ultimately no definitive conclusion.

Fortunately Yi Xuan has let go of the past. Perhaps it's just like the saying goes: when God closes a door, he opens a window.

Compared to others, Yi Xuan, who possesses the Book of Technology, probably has an exceptionally tight window to his door!

It was so tight that even the Sea God's secret techniques were useless against it!
