Chapter 1908: Chapter 1908: Methods to Enhance Innate Spirit Roots
"There’s more than one way to improve? How can we improve?!"
Wyatt Barnes was immediately excited upon hearing Elder Fire’s words.
After learning that his Talent Root was indeed just a ’yellow root,’ he appeared unaffected on the surface, but deep inside, he cared a lot and felt very disappointed.
Talent Roots are divided into seven levels:
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple.
Yellow roots aren’t even considered intermediate; they’re just mid-to-low level roots.
Among the hundreds of people left around him, over ninety percent have the same Talent Root as him, the ’yellow root.’
Yellow roots are considered acceptable in the Martial Dao Sacred Land.
But in the Fire Worship Sect, they are utterly insignificant!
In fact, any ordinary disciple from the Fire Worship Sect is likely more than eighty percent likely to possess yellow roots.
Now, learning from Elder Fire that Talent Roots could be improved...
How could he not be thrilled?
"I was wondering, you’ve opened ninety-nine Saint Veins and have extraordinary Talent, yet your cultivation speed is barely faster than ordinary people... Now it seems this secular plane’s ’rules’ have restricted the Talent inherent in your ninety-nine Saint Veins!"
Elder Fire did not answer Wyatt but instead mumbled to himself.
"This secular plane’s ’rules’?"
Hearing Elder Fire’s words, Wyatt couldn’t help but pause.
Plane rules were not something he heard for the first time.
According to Elder Fire, when he first crossed souls into this world, the Martial Emperor’s soul wanted to crush his soul but ended up causing the Martial Emperor’s own demise due to the rules of the plane.
Later, Black Nether’s primary soul in the Demon Sealing Monument also met the same fate due to plane rules.
His soul did not belong to this secular plane, being affected by the rules of another secular plane.
Souls born in this secular plane trying to directly assault his soul would naturally be counter-killed by the rules of another secular plane.
Conversely, if he had faced the Martial Emperor or Black Nether’s soul head-on, he would certainly be the one to die.
Plane rules are mysterious and profound in the vast world, even the strongest Heavenly Emperors in all planes are restrained by them.
"Indeed." Elder Fire responded, "As it stands, the rules of this secular plane limit cultivation speed... aside from the cultivation environment and resources, it’s also about the ’Talent Roots!’"
"Talent Roots directly determine one’s talent! The talent bestowed by Saint Veins is restricted by this secular plane’s rules and cannot be fully displayed."
"Otherwise, with your ninety-nine Saint Veins, you’d be a top-notch genius even in the planes of heavens!"
Elder Fire concluded in one breath.
"So... Talent Roots are unique to this secular plane?"
Wyatt, not being foolish, quickly guessed some things from Elder Fire’s words.
"Correct!" Elder Fire responded once more and continued, "Whether it was on the secular plane where I originally came from, ’Yan Huang Star,’ or the plane I went to later, ’Jade Emperor Heaven,’ talents are judged by the number of Saint Veins within the body!"
"Of course, in the secular plane where Yan Huang Star was located, they were not called Saint Veins, but ’Earth Veins.’ In Jade Emperor Heaven, they’re referred to as ’Heavenly Veins!’"
At this point, Elder Fire paused and then continued, "But in this secular plane, there are different rules... Here, cultivators, whether human or beast, judge talent by ’Talent Roots!’"
"With the Divine Sense I’ve regained, I’ve observed your soul’s deepest ’Talent Root’... Your Talent Root is only yellow, generally average in this secular plane; no wonder your cultivation speed remains slow despite the support of the Jewel Tower!"
Towards the end, Elder Fire’s tone held an air of mockery.
"This yellow root was likely transformed after I consumed ’Stone Bell Milk from the Mortal Cloud Skies Continent’... My original Talent Root probably was just orange or even red!" Wyatt said with a wry smile.
"Aged Stone Bell Milk is indeed a rare spiritual thing... But even at its best, it can only enhance a Talent Root to the ’yellow’ level!" Elder Fire explained.
"Elder Fire, I remember when I first encountered you and the Jewel Tower... The Jewel Tower used up its remaining power to help me undergo a transformation; didn’t that upgrade my Talent Root?"
At the beginning, the Jewel Tower utilized its leftover power to assist him in a transformation.
And even back in the Mortal Cloud Skies Continent, the Aged Stone Bell Milk helped him transform and raised his Talent to its peak for martial artists on the continent!
"The Jewel Tower aided your transformation, but only enhanced your physical body, not related to the Talent Root." Elder Fire clarified.
Wyatt suddenly realized, resolving one doubt after another.
He finally understood why, after establishing ninety-nine Saint Veins, his Talent was still disappointing!
He finally understood why when the Jewel Tower helped him transform, his Talent Root was unchanged!
"Elder Fire, how do I enhance my ’innate spirit root’ now?"
Recalling that Elder Fire mentioned there were more than one way to enhance the innate spirit root, Wyatt Barnes took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and asked.
"Earlier, my Divine Sense observed your innate spirit root... there are two ways to enhance it. One of which, you already know."
Elder Fire said.
"I already know?"
Wyatt was taken aback, completely at a loss.
What was that about?
What does he know?
If he knew, would he still be asking?
"Your innate spirit root had been enhanced through that particular method."
Elder Fire reminded.
At this moment, Wyatt suddenly realized and then smiled bitterly, "So, Elder Fire, you were talking about the ’magical substance Giovanni Stone’... but, didn’t you just say that it was already the limit for the Giovanni Stone to enhance the innate spirit root to a ’yellow spirit root’!"
"I did say that... However, that is just the limit of the Giovanni Stone. In the world, there are numerous spiritual objects similar to the Giovanni Stone, yet even more miraculous. If the Giovanni Stone can enhance the innate spirit root to a yellow spirit root, couldn’t they further enhance the innate spirit root?"
Elder Fire retorted.
Upon hearing this, Wyatt’s eyes lit up.
Indeed.
Giovanni Stone is now ineffective for his innate spirit root, but there are spiritual objects even more miraculous than the Giovanni Stone; if he could find those spiritual objects, wouldn’t he fear his innate spirit root couldn’t be further enhanced?
"Elder Fire, you must know what spiritual objects can enhance my innate spirit root... hurry and tell me!"
Wyatt eagerly asked Elder Fire.
"I know of many spiritual objects that can enhance your innate spirit root, but if I were to list them out, you might not remember them all... how about this, I’ll organize the appearance and characteristics of those spiritual objects into information and transfer it into your mind. This way, you can remember them directly."
With Elder Fire’s words, Wyatt noticed a vast stream of information pouring into his mind.
Along with the information came a terrifying aura that made his soul tremble... Wyatt knew it was the powerful Divine Sense of Elder Fire containing the vast information!
Usually, Elder Fire’s weak Divine Sense would merge into his mind, and he would not feel anything.
But now, transmitting a large amount of information, Elder Fire used quite a bit of Divine Sense, giving Wyatt a soul-trembling feeling because Elder Fire’s Divine Sense was truly too powerful!
"Elder Fire’s current Divine Sense... is even stronger than that of Maximus Lee! It seems that Elder Fire’s strength has recovered quite well over this recent period."
As his soul trembled due to Elder Fire’s Divine Sense, Wyatt also realized that Elder Fire’s strength had recovered a lot.
At least stronger than Maximus Lee!
"It’s a pity that the restrictions of the Jewel Tower on Elder Fire are so severe, allowing only non-aggressive Divine Sense to emerge... otherwise, I wouldn’t have to hide like I do now!"
Thinking of this, Wyatt couldn’t help but sigh.
Having a ’super bodyguard’ beside him but being unable to use it was frustrating.
This feeling, only Wyatt could understand.
As Elder Fire’s Divine Sense retreated, Wyatt also discovered that there was now a lot of information in his mind... all related to spiritual objects that could enhance his innate spirit root.
"So many?"
Wyatt was surprised.
However, after briefly reviewing the information, Wyatt found that although there were many spiritual objects recorded, he had never seen or heard of any of them.
"It seems that finding spiritual objects to enhance my ’innate spirit root’ will not be easy."
At this moment, Wyatt also realized this point.
"Elder Fire, you just said there is more than one way to enhance my innate spirit root... aside from finding these spiritual objects, what other methods are there?"
Wyatt asked.
"Compared to finding those spiritual objects, the method I’m about to tell you is much simpler... but unlike the previous method, which is 100% feasible, this method may not work! I can tell you, but you need to be prepared mentally."
Elder Fire said.
"Not necessarily feasible?"
Wyatt was somewhat disappointed but still urged, "Elder Fire, tell me."
The path of searching for ’spiritual objects’ was too difficult.
If there is a shortcut, he would still like to try, even if he eventually finds the shortcut dead-ended.
"This method relates to the Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’ you have mastered."
Elder Fire continued, "I don’t know much about the Minor Devouring Technique. But the ’Major Swallowing Technique’ of a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse in the heavens is quite renowned to me... The Major Swallowing Technique is said to be able to devour all things in the world, to devour all kinds of power!"
"The Minor Devouring Technique, as a Divine Ability derived from the Major Swallowing Technique and as the foundation of the Major Swallowing Technique, might be tried to devour others’ ’innate spirit roots’ to strengthen your own ’innate spirit root’!"
