Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

Chapter 959 Time Travel
Dao Yi shook his head knowingly, "I'm new to the cultivation world, and everything about the Xuan Tian Continent was told to me by you, my great-uncle."

Liang Yuan: "." This brat, he's got a big heart! He knows nothing, yet he dares to tell others his secrets.

Liang Yuan looked at her speechlessly, "The Xuan Tian Continent is different from the rest of the world. There are many cultivators here, and it's a place with abundant spiritual energy. Weak mortals are actually a minority. All cultivators on the Xuan Tian Continent have awakened their spiritual roots, and some of them have awakened special abilities."

Through Liang Yuan's introduction, Dao Yi learned about the complexity and diversity of cultivation on the Xuan Tian Continent.

From the moment a person is born, they must choose a mountain gate to test their spiritual roots.

If one has no spiritual root, one is considered a mortal and has no chance to pursue immortality. Although it seems like only a step away from the mountain gate, it is an insurmountable chasm. There are mortals who can rise up to become immortals, but they are extremely rare.

Even if someone is found to have spiritual roots, it doesn't mean they can immediately embark on the path of cultivation.

Everyone's spiritual roots are different, and spiritual roots are divided into levels. The aptitude for cultivating immortality varies greatly depending on one's spiritual roots.

In this regard, Liang Yuan suggested that one should not only focus on spiritual roots. While a person's spiritual roots are important, they do not account for everything. One should also consider their personal character and innate talents.

It's like having a photographic memory. Can you expect a born fool to become a literary genius by relying on his photographic memory?
A person's spiritual root can only determine their starting point, not their destination.

Dao Yi deeply agreed.

Liang Yuan then discussed with Dao Yi the specific classifications of spiritual roots.

Normal spiritual roots are metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, plus the mutated wind and thunder, for a total of seven spiritual roots.

Mutant spiritual roots are even rarer than single-element ones, and there are no cultivators to refer to, so they are ignored by the people of Xuan Tian Continent. However, if just one or two people are found, it will cause a stir.

The single-elemental spiritual root is recognized as the fastest cultivation method in the Xuan Tian Continent.

The dual-system is slightly inferior.

The third and fourth spiritual roots are even less desirable.

In the Xuan Tian Continent, the five elemental spiritual roots are almost universally recognized as useless.

Because the cultivation process is slow, people often die before they have fully matured.

Upon hearing this, Dao Yi remembered something.

The spiritual power she used could be described as encompassing all five elements.

Dao Yi asked, "Grand Uncle, is my spiritual root a five-elemental root?"

Liang Yuan: "."

After a moment of silence, Liang Yuan comforted her, "I just told you, don't just focus on spiritual roots. Cultivation also values ​​talent. Besides, there have been two people in the Xuan Tian Continent who achieved the Great Dao with five spiritual roots. Don't be discouraged."

Dao Yi's mindset is still very good.

She smiled and said, "Uncle is right. I don't feel anything wrong with my current cultivation level, so I think I have a chance to embark on this great path."

Liang Yuan: "."

He didn't know how to respond for a moment. Dao Yi's positive attitude was a bit too much, making him seem like someone who was worrying unnecessarily.

On second thought, this is also a good thing.

As long as we don't give up, perhaps one day we will truly reach the pinnacle of success.

However, Liang Yuan was still a little worried. "Xiao Yi, your uncle has to say this beforehand: you have all five elements of spiritual roots, so your cultivation will be several times slower than others. The path of cultivation is long and arduous. Don't give up on yourself first. Once a person loses their will to live, there will truly be no way forward."

Dao Yi said, "Uncle, please rest assured, I know what to do."

During her time around the world, Dao Yi encountered all sorts of people and gained a comprehensive understanding of human nature. She wasn't so easily defeated.

What's more, An Dao in the Qiankun bag is waiting for her to save his life.

If he himself was not strong, how could he protect him? And... Dao Yi glanced at Liang Yuan again, and added in his mind, "And his family."

Dao Yi felt a surge of heroic spirit.

After a moment of stunned silence, Liang Yuan said, "It's good that you have a plan in mind. On the path of cultivation, others can only offer some guidance; the most important thing is to rely on yourself."

Dao Yi smiled and nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Uncle."

Liang Yuan felt a little relieved and said, "I just said that spiritual roots determine one's aptitude for cultivation, but that's not entirely true. Aptitude is just a polite way of saying it. The main thing is the ability that comes with your spiritual root attributes."

Dao Yi understood: "Does Uncle mean that my ability to see through other people's past is an innate ability of my spiritual root?"

Liang Yuan replied, "Yes."

Dao Yi raised her right hand and gently stroked her eyelids. She never expected that the problem that had troubled her all over the world would be the answer she was looking for in the Xuan Tian Continent, simply because of the ability that spiritual roots come with them.

Unfortunately, that old man Ling Xuzi can't hear it.

Someone who can't hear: That's a real shame!
Liang Yuan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. "Remember, never show off your abilities in front of others in the future."

"Why?" It's just to look over there, isn't it?

Dao Yi wondered, even if she had this ability, it shouldn't be enough to make the people of Xuan Tian Continent afraid, right?
Didn't you see how she was chased around by Guo Lei, Qin Wang, and their gang a while ago?

Liang Yuan: "Have you forgotten the Bai people?"

The Bai people's tribe was coveted because of their ability to control all kinds of beasts, so much so that the entire Xuan Tian Continent was searching for them.

Different sects and factions may have different intentions, but their ultimate goals are all similar.

Each sect and faction wanted to use the Bai people for their own purposes.

Dao Yi understood. "What my great-uncle means is that my ability is rare, like a child carrying gold through the market."

Liang Yuan: "." That makes sense, but something just doesn't feel right to him.

A moment later, Liang Yuan realized the problem.

His nephew's wife understood the reasoning, but she didn't seem afraid at all.

Liang Yuan had to remind Yi again: "Xiao Yi, do you think your ability is just to watch people go by?"

Based on Dao Yi's previous words, Liang Yuan summarized the differences for her.

"When you were in the world before, you needed to come into contact with the obsessions of the dead—that is, after the soul leaves the body, there is a strong residual consciousness—before you could see through it. Now that you have come to the Xuan Tian Continent, you only need to hold a broken inner core to easily see through Cang Xing's entire life. Xiao Yi, haven't you noticed the problem here yet?"

Dao Yi was stunned. "Grand Uncle means that my abilities will not only improve with cultivation, but also change? But why didn't they change at all when I was in the world?"

Liang Yuan nodded: "It must be because the universe is limited. I only heard about this ability from an elder in my clan. When someone has this ability, they can not only see through the past, but also easily see through the future once they reach a certain level of cultivation. But that's not the most important thing."

Liang Yuan added several more layers of protective formations before continuing, "Upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one gains the ability to tear through space and see into the past and future. This is essentially another form of time travel, because your spiritual essence inherently possesses this ability. Therefore, upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, you can not only travel between several continents in the cultivation world, but may even traverse time and space."

Transcending time and space?

Dao Yi's eyes lit up. Did this mean that she would return to the world one day?
