Infinite Gate: I Became a Martial Saint from Another World

"And these five grades of spiritual roots, from low to high, are: weak grade, low grade, medium grade, high grade, and top grade!"

"Weak-grade spiritual roots are the weakest of the bunch. Their owners can only barely make it to the early stages of the Qi Attraction Realm throughout their lives. If there is no chance to change their aptitude, they won't be able to advance even a little bit!"

"So, cultivators with this kind of spiritual roots will usually withdraw from the world of immortal cultivation and go to the mortal world to bully others. The offspring they have with mortals may have spiritual roots that are even inferior to weak spiritual roots!"

"That simply cannot be considered a spiritual root, so it is not counted in the spiritual root level. We usually call it an incomplete spiritual root."

"Incomplete spiritual roots?"

Hearing this, Zhou Hong became a little curious. How could a spiritual root be incomplete?

"Yes, incomplete spiritual roots. I heard that mortals with this kind of spiritual roots can barely sense spiritual energy, and thus have some kind of prophetic ability, such as having precognitive dreams."

Mo Neng nodded and said.

"Precognitive dream..."

Mo Neng's words made Zhou Hong's heart move. He recalled the incomprehensible words said by the village chief Lei Kong when he saw the purple demon corpse-faced tiger a long time ago when Qingwan Village was destroyed!

Now it seems that the village chief Lei Kong is probably the owner of this so-called incomplete spiritual root.

"And the lower-grade spiritual roots that are even further advanced are the spiritual roots that most people in our world of immortal cultivation possess. The owners of this kind of spiritual roots can normally cultivate to the peak of the Qi Attraction Realm!"

"I am also the owner of this kind of spiritual root."

Mo Neng's words sounded somewhat dejected. Perhaps he was dissatisfied with his own spiritual roots.

"The next level is the middle-grade spiritual root, which can be cultivated normally to the early stage of the Dao Foundation Realm!"

"These people are basically the top pillars of medium-sized forces in the world of immortal cultivation."

"And at the next level, with superior spiritual roots, one can normally cultivate to the late stage of the Dao Foundation Realm. If there is a great opportunity, there is also hope to break through to the Heavenly Tribulation Realm!"

"As for the last level of top-grade spiritual roots, even normal cultivation can reach the level of the third heavenly tribulation realm. It's very scary!"

Seeing Mo Neng's sighing expression, Zhou Hong noticed something special.

"Strange, is this so-called Dao Foundation Realm so difficult to break through? Even with a top-grade spiritual root, normal cultivation can only reach the late stage!"

Zhou Hong analyzed carefully and it seemed that this so-called Dao Foundation Realm should be an important watershed for cultivators.

So is it the same with martial arts?

"Now you should know how important the top-grade spiritual roots that your disciple Gao Ye possesses are."

"You know, a strong person at the Heavenly Tribulation Realm is definitely at the top of the entire Xuanyuan Realm, and is very scary!"

Mo Neng said with a smile.

However, Zhou Hong frowned and said, "The top spiritual roots can only reach the Heavenly Tribulation Realm? The Heavenly Tribulation Realm is probably not the final realm!"

"Of course. Actually, for a truly high-level realm, the quality of spiritual roots is only one of the conditions for breakthrough. What is truly important is the ability of the practitioner himself!"

“And what I’m going to talk about next is the realm of immortals that involves this realm!”

Seeing Mo Neng's serious expression, Zhou Hong's face also became solemn. He knew that the real big guy was coming!

"The first stage of immortal cultivation is the Qi Attraction Stage. Immortal cultivators sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth through their spiritual roots, then draw it into their spiritual roots, and refine it through the practice of exercises, purifying it into spiritual power that we cultivators can use. Then the spiritual power flows to all parts of the body, cleansing and purifying it, transforming it into an extraordinary body, and stepping into the extraordinary realm!"

"Lifespan: 400 years!"
