Chapter 2: Memories (2) (Spiritual Root)

The predecessor joined the Azure Cloud Sect at the age of 10 and he's been an outer disciple for ten years now, with a cultivation base at the Qi Condensation 4th Stage.

Such achievement can be said to be ordinary, but it's normal because he is only a Lower Grade Spiritual Root.

Spiritual Root is what allow a human to cultivate immortals, without Spiritual Root you are doomed to live a mortal life, as for whether there is a way to transplant spiritual root, no one know because no one has succeeded to do it, but according to the legends the immortals have a way.

But unfortunately there is no immortal in this world so it's impossible to know if it's true, you can only know it if you ascend to the Fairy Domain.

Spiritual Root is divided into several grades from low to high: Inferior, Low, Medium, High, Ultimate and Heavenly.

Those born with Inferior Spiritual Root generally couldn't go further than the Qi Condensation Great Perfection in their life but of course there is a few one who succeed to breakthrough the Foundation Establishment thanks to luck.

But the amount of ressources you need is huge and without a great background or a great luck most of them stop at the Qi Condensation, most sect does not accept those with a Inferior Grade Spiritual Root.

For those with Lower and Medium Spiritual Root they have a little more chance to build a foundation but it's still difficult and you need the assistance of Foundation Building Pill and Spiritual object.

More than 90% disciples of sect possesses a Low or Medium aptitude.

The High Grade Spiritual Root can easily build a foundation with a spiritual object without the need of a Foundation Building Pill, they are the focus of the sect and when a disciple is detected having a High Grade Spiritual Root he will directly be taken as a disciple by an Elder and vigorously cultivated by the Sect.

As for those with Ultimate and Heavenly Spiritual Root they are the rarest. It is said a Ultimate Spiritual Root there is no need of external object for building the foundation and the cultivation speed is astonishing! The Ultimate Spiritual Root will not feel any bottleneck until the Golden Core Realm! Any Ultimate Spiritual Root is the treasure the most precious of a sect, because If he's well cultivated he can cultivate to the Golden Core Realm in less than a hundred years!

As for the Heavenly Spiritual Root It's even more heaven defying! The cultivation speed is hundred times faster than an Inferior Grade Spiritual Root and you will not feel any bottleneck before the Nascent Soul Realm! It can be said if you're born with a Heavenly Spiritual Root you are the son or daughter of heaven.

Each time one is born the sects will not hesitate to fight to death for him even the Holy-Class power.

Of course such a fight is rare because the Heavenly Spiritual Root is too rare and you may not found one among 100 millions of humans.
