Chapter 17 Spiritual Root Testing
Although there are immortal cultivators among humans in this world, according to the level of civilization in the universe, the human civilization on the earth at this time is not even a first-level civilization... In the original world, both human civilization and elf civilization have already touched the level.
A civilization that has reached the third level threshold is still almost wiped out by abyssal creatures.
(The classification of civilization levels in this article is based on the 'Kardashev Criteria'. A first-level civilization refers to one that can use all the energy of the planet where it is located; a second-level civilization that can use all the energy of the star; and a third-level civilization that can control the energy of the entire galaxy.
.The earth in the real world is probably between level 0.7-0.8.)
According to the information Lin Yi found on the Internet, immortal cultivators must at least reach the "Dongxu Stage" before they can physically break through the atmosphere. Among the existing immortal cultivators, the ones with the highest level of cultivation are the heads of the eight sects and a very small number of "Tai Shang Elders".
"... The strongest among these hundreds of years old is only in the "late stage of divine transformation", and there is still a big gap between the Dongxu stage.
Even with magical spells such as "shrinking the earth into an inch", facing the vast universe where light-years are often used as distance measurement units, this group of immortal cultivators say that they are frogs in a well.
The existence of the Immortal Cultivation System has indeed enabled the human civilization in this world to have a technological level that far exceeds that of the same period in history, but it still has not broken through the shackles of the first-level civilization... With this strength alone, once the interdimensional passage begins to expand, a large number of abyssal creatures will emerge.
Entering this world, the entire earth will be slaughtered in a very short period of time.
Yes, in this way, Lin Yi's mission is indeed completed... But, what's next?
The desire for expansion and reproduction of abyssal creatures is endless. Unlike human civilization, they still have the possibility of negotiation and change... They are not afraid of pain and death, and there is no morale or internal fighting.
There will never be a retreat or surrender... This is not something that any civilized army can compare to, and the word war machine seems a bit pale when used on them.
They are disasters themselves, synonymous with aggression and destruction.
If the creatures of the abyss are allowed to destroy mankind, the same fate will befall the elves in the near future.
Lin Yi frowned in thought, and in the eyes of those young monks, he thought that the conversation just now triggered the painful memories of his "family being destroyed". The steady monk pondered for a moment, but chose to change the topic: "By the way, you
Since you want to test your spiritual roots, you don’t need to go anywhere else, you can do it here.”
Another monk immediately took out a stone that was completely green and the size of an oval. The stone looked like an original jadeite embryo, but if you look closely, you can find that there is a cloud of turbid light gray gas inside the stone.
Flowing freely.
"This is Tongbi stone. The core components of the equipment used to detect spiritual roots are made of it. But for us, we don't need those additional auxiliary devices. We only need to observe the changes in the spiritual energy in Tongbi stone.
You can determine the quality and attributes of the spiritual root." The steady monk explained to Lin Yi, "Now, put your palm on the stone."
"Left hand or right hand?" Lin Yi asked.
"Anything is fine."
Lin Yi thought for a while, and there seemed to be no difference between his left and right hands. However, considering that his right hand was his dominant hand, he still placed his right hand on top of the turquoise stone.
The surface of turquoise stone is not as smooth and moist as it looks, but has a frosted texture... The moment Lin Yi's palm came into contact with it, the originally cold stone suddenly became warm, and the stone suddenly became warm.
Continuously releasing heat outwards.
But this state didn't last long, only three or four seconds before Tongbishi returned to its coldness... As for the lead-gray "spiritual energy" inside, it had not changed at all.
The expressions on the faces of the several young monks who were staring at the Tongbi Stone varied. Some were embarrassed, some were regretful, and some had a look of taking it for granted... Lin Yi, who was proficient in observing words and expressions, quickly realized what this meant.
What? He looked at the steady monk sitting opposite the coffee table, and changed his right hand on the turquoise stone to his left hand.
The aura within the stone still has no response.
"Uh... It's a pity that you don't have spiritual roots in your body... you can't practice."
This result was within Lin Yi's expectation. After all, there were no immortal cultivators in his original world, and this body was created by Professor Kaya using humans from that world as samples. It was normal to have no spiritual roots.
...But Lin Yi still didn't give up: "The test of Tongbishi will not go wrong, right? Is it possible that it is a sensitivity problem...Should I try to put two drops of blood on it to see?"
"The sensitivity is definitely enough. Even the inferior spiritual roots that are not suitable for cultivation can be sensed by Tongbi Stone... But since there is no change in Tongbi Stone, it means that inside your body..." At this point,
The other party paused for a moment, "This is normal. Not one person in a thousand people may have spiritual roots, and even if spiritual roots can be detected, not everyone can embark on the path of cultivating immortality... Besides, it is impossible to cultivate immortality.
It's not necessarily a bad thing. Only the cultivators themselves can experience the dangers on the path of cultivation."
"At least..." the steady monk said, turning his head to look at Song Lan who was still lying on the stretcher, and sighed, "At least ordinary people don't have to face these things."
"Senior Brother Liao, I don't think what you are saying is right... Although we immortal cultivators are responsible for everything that happens, the people who suffer in the beginning are ordinary people. If you are capable, at least you have some means of self-defense when facing those things.
Right... Besides, only people from our eight sects have this kind of obligation. Those cultivators from the third-rate sects escaped faster than anyone else this time. They knew how to protect themselves and watched the old people in Ningdong Province helplessly.
——Ah!"
Before he could finish his words, he let out another scream and fell backwards.
Senior Brother Liao ignored the junior brother who triggered the restriction again, sighed, and said to Lin Yi: "There is no way around this... I know that if you want to become an immortal, you most likely want to avenge your relatives or friends...
But for things like revenge, you don’t necessarily have to go to the front line to fight those things. With your abilities, you can definitely play a greater role in other fields..."
Before the monk named Liao could finish speaking, Lin Yi interrupted him: "What about the artificial spiritual roots?"
Artificial spiritual roots are an elusive treasure for most ordinary people, but not for immortal cultivators, especially this group of "proud sons of heaven" who are from the Xiaoyao Sect... Just this "
The treasures in the ring given to Lin Yi by "Senior Brother Liao" are worth more than a few million in total. With Lin Yi's current financial resources, he can still afford an artificial spiritual root.
