【Ding! You are consuming the God-grade Spiritual Root Creation Fruit to forge a new attribute. The 'Diligence Compensates for Clumsiness' trait has been activated. The creation effect is being amplified by a hundredfold.】
Without a doubt, when the power of creation within those Creation Fruits took effect in Ye Lin's Spiritual Root, it triggered the 【Diligence Compensates for Clumsiness】 trait once again.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With the hundredfold amplification, the changes within the Chaos Spiritual Root grew even more violent. If it had been like collapsing mountains and rivers just a moment ago, it was now like the heavens falling and the earth rending.
Consequently, Ye Lin was directly knocked unconscious. Fortunately, before blacking out, he had managed to devour all 1,001 God-grade Creation Fruits.
The moment he fainted, his entire body was completely enveloped by a mass of pitch-black gas. From a distance, this mysterious black gas resembled a cocoon.
It placed Ye Lin into a state of a congenital fetus, using this to completely reconstruct his Spiritual Root attributes.
Time flowed like water inside the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda, and half a month quietly passed.
During this half-month, Ye Lin's body remained in a constant cycle of rebirth and decay, while his soul was locked in a deep slumber.
Had it not been for the powerful origin power of the Ancestral Phoenix Bloodline protecting his vital soul and life force, the violent God-grade power of creation under the hundredfold amplification would have likely blown his body to pieces.
Of course, it was impossible for his body to truly explode, unless the power acting upon him exceeded the limits of the quasi-Dao-grade Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda.
Otherwise, the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda's passive protection would act like a lifesaving blade, safeguarding his final breath and soul.
Another seven days passed on top of the half-month, and all the changes within Ye Lin's body finally ground to a complete halt.
The cocoon of black gas dissolved into streaks of dark light, sinking into his Spiritual Root.
At a certain moment, his brow furrowed slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Without much hesitation, he shook his head to clear his mind, then directly opened his game panel to check the new changes to his Spiritual Root.
【Talent: Chaos Spiritual Root (Damaged)】
【Grade: Immortal-grade】
【Description: Contains the Five Elements Spiritual Roots (Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth), Sword Spiritual Root, Thunder Spiritual Root, and Darkness Spiritual Root.
1. Increases base combat strength by 100 times, increases cultivation speed by 100 times, and increases comprehension by 100 times.
2. Birthed a damaged Chaos Physique. Currently equivalent to Immortal-grade. Can unleash the damaged vision 'Chaos Seeded with Blue Lotus' with zero side effects.
3. Devoured the Circulating Heaven Stellar Physique, inheriting its recovery, defense, flesh regeneration, and ability to channel the stars of heaven and earth, along with all its divine abilities. All of these abilities have been vastly upgraded.
The specific upgrades are as follows: Recovery speed, defense strength, and flesh regeneration speed are all increased to 100 times.
The authority to channel stellar power is enhanced by 10 times. The physical divine abilities 'Blood Curse Heavenly Pupil' and 'Overturning Rivers and Seas' are enhanced by 10 times.
4. Added a new God-grade divine ability, Darkness Control. You inherently possess a Darkness Domain. You can forcibly drag opponents into your domain. Within the domain, your attacks carry the attribute of decay, and all of the enemy's perception and reaction speeds are reduced by 100 times.】
“Awesome, simply awesome! As expected of the God-grade Creation Fruit. Not only did it allow my Spiritual Root to cross the almost impassable chasm between quasi-immortal-grade and Immortal-grade, but it also enhanced all my attributes and combat strength. Plus, the new God-grade divine ability directly makes up for the shortcoming of my 'Divine Eye Heaven-Seizing Hand' being unable to fully restrain Nascent Soul True Monarchs.”
“This wave of upgrades is truly massive.” After carefully reviewing all the changes on his game panel, Ye Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud.
First of all, after this upgrade, he was no longer a trash-talented waste. He could now be considered an Immortal-grade genius on the Heavenly Desolation Continent, a young sovereign.
With this talent, he could tank, deal damage, and cultivate rapidly.
Even if the geniuses of the world were as numerous as crucian carps crossing a river, he would definitely be among the absolute rarest of the rare on the Heavenly Desolation Continent.
Currently, his realm hadn't changed, but his physical strength had skyrocketed by several million jin. Even without any amplification, his base physical strength at the Foundation Establishment Stage had reached twenty million jin.
With this strength, if combined with other amplifications, casually slapping and blowing apart the physical body of a Nascent Soul True Monarch would be child's play.
Secondly, the upgrade of his Spiritual Root's quality was only one part of it. The biggest change in this upgrade was the addition of the darkness attribute to his Chaos Spiritual Root.
As of now, the boost from the darkness attribute only enhanced his cultivation foundation and granted him the God-grade divine ability 'Darkness Control'.
But these were only the most direct, immediate benefits. Another advantage was that on his future path of the Great Dao, he would have one more Great Dao of Darkness than others.
Finally, the combination of the birth of the damaged Chaos Physique and the Chaos Seeded with Blue Lotus vision was also incredibly powerful.
Let's talk about the physical vision 'Chaos Seeded with Blue Lotus' first. It was a combination of the Chaos Physique and all of Ye Lin's own understanding of the Dao. It was a rule that could not be stripped away.
Its greatest role in combat was to merge all the cultivated Daos together, launching attacks in the form of a vision, as well as intimidating and weakening the power of the enemy's divine abilities.
In terms of auxiliary cultivation, it converted ordinary spiritual Qi into Chaos Qi (Ye Lin's cultivation method was Taboo-grade and surpassed chaos, so there was no need to convert it), enhancing his foundation, accelerating his comprehension of the Dao, preventing curses, and so on.
Furthermore, although Ye Lin had obtained the physical vision 'Chaos Seeded with Blue Lotus' before, he had to rely on his 'Chaos Spiritual Root' to barely execute it. Each execution required time to convert spiritual power, and he needed to recover after using it.
It could be said to deal extremely high damage but require an exceptionally long charge time.
But with the Chaos Physique, he could instantly cast the physical vision, and it wouldn't even matter if he used it as a basic attack. After all, his spiritual power was abundant, his divine soul was powerful, and his physical body was extremely strong.
In addition to all of the above, there was the God-grade divine ability 【Darkness Control】 born from the Chaos Spiritual Root. It came with its own Darkness Domain and could forcibly pull enemies inside, reducing their perception and reaction speeds by a hundredfold.
From now on, even if he faced a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he wouldn't have to rely solely on the first and second forms of the 《Heaven-Cleaving Sword Intent》 to lock onto them.
If he directly dragged a powerful enemy in, and their reaction and perception were both reduced by a hundredfold, he refused to believe he couldn't hit them. And as long as he could land a hit, he could kill them.
These were all benefits, so what was the price of this upgrade?
Actually, the price wasn't very high. It was nothing more than an enhanced foundation, meaning Ye Lin had to go back and use resources to fill the newly created vacancies in his Body Tempering Realm, Qi Condensation Stage, and Foundation Establishment Stage.
And the cultivation resources required to break through realms in the future would simply become even more massive.
If this problem were shifted to other cultivators, they would probably have a massive headache.
After all, on the path of cultivation—wealth, companions, methods, and lands—wealth was the most important. In the cultivation world, aside from spiritual herb resources, other resources like spirit stone and magic crystal veins would only deplete as they were used.
Thus, cultivation resources had always been a matter of extremely fierce competition.
However, for Ye Lin, if it was just to supply his own cultivation, he felt no pressure at all.
After all, he had the 【Diligence Compensates for Clumsiness】 trait, where using one spirit stone was equivalent to the effect of others using a hundred, coupled with the thousandfold replication of resources from the 【Random Replication】 trait.
Additionally, with the vast amount of resources provided by the Tianyu Chamber of Commerce for every realm, even though he now possessed the Chaos Spiritual Root and a terrifyingly strong foundation, it was still more than enough for him to cultivate.
But if he wanted to use the Cauldron of Creation to continue upgrading his talents, spells, divine abilities, weapons, and so on, these resources would be far from enough.
Furthermore, if his Reincarnation Legion fell, they would also require spiritual power to be resurrected.
“It seems I still have to follow my original cultivation plan—purchasing spiritual materials to refine pills to earn the price difference, and then replicating them.”
“Only in this way can I obtain a truly sufficient amount of spirit stones.”
Slowly rising from the ground, with a thought, Ye Lin exited the Desolate Ancient Dao Pagoda.
However, before purchasing spiritual materials, he still had to kill someone: the Outer Academy Deacon, Nangong Yin.
After Xiao Chen was resurrected, he had already told Ye Lin about how Nangong Yin and Noble Consort Ji Yu wanted to harm him.
As for Noble Consort Ji Yu, he might not be able to destroy the imperial family just yet, so he would leave her alone for now. As for this Nangong Yin, he only needed to release two Golden Core Stage evil Venerables to turn the man into ashes.
Of course, if he disregarded everything and wanted to annihilate the imperial family, it would also be very simple. One had to remember that he possessed a feather from a mighty figure of the Phoenix Clan, which could unleash three world-destroying attacks.
Furthermore, if he erupted with all his strength to drive the Immortal-grade flame, the Great Dark Heaven Flame, he could likewise burn down the entire Tianqi City.
But doing so would undoubtedly wipe out everyone in Tianqi City in one go, saddling him with karma, which would not be good for his future.
Of course, this was under the premise that he had choices, so he would remain calm and act according to plan. If he was completely enraged or pushed to the point of having no choice, he would directly drag the heavens and earth down with him, not caring about any of that.
