After thinking of the situation, Yu Lingshe understood the cause of this.
'My responsibility should have something to do with qualifications… my own root is already great, all jade single roots are of the same quality since they are born pure, with the first awakening, the polishing will form the jade to be the most fitting for the cultivator…
This talent should be used on others… but I can never reveal this talent in the world of cultivation! Even in the immortal world, this talent that can change qualifications in exchange for a bit spiritual power is too strong! Wait… is this w-'
She couldn't even think of the thought too deeply before a seemingly random thunder sound was heard. This time, it wasn't as obvious as the one prior, with a clear and strong thunder sound trying to warn her. Rather, it was soft and quiet, as if agreeing with her thought.
Yu Lingshe looked at the sky deeply. Myriad thoughts flashed through her mind, but she stopped herself from doing anything rash, calming herself down.
No matter what her responsibility is, the qualifications of cultivation she had might be superior too, but this nourishment was a different level. It wouldn't only make cultivation faster, it would go beyond that – maybe one day, she would look at heaven and talk with it like it was friend – this is how frightening her talent is!
It took some time but when she fully calmed down, she acted as if nothing happened and checked out the cultivation arts.
She checked out the three categories one by one and ignored the many names, focusing on the three introduction books. These would describe the requirements for the different paths.
The physical path is extremely strong but requires a strong human soul and body, one can't be easily influenced by outer matters and has to have a strong spirit and will.
For the spiritual path, one only needs to have a spiritual root. Regardless of what they would do alter on, it is the norm path because it cultivates the spiritual power. They will experience inner demons since they don't cultivate the spirit like the body cultivators, but each time they succeed, they will be rewarded.
This path is in the middle and can reach to the other two – it's easy to learn body refining techniques and cultivate a strong soul, as their focus lies in the earthly soul.
Lastly, there is the soul cultivation. These cultivators are the fewest because of their high requirements. They have to have a strong heavenly soul at the beginning, because their focus lies in the laws of the world.
They cultivate spells and have a large expertise of the creation arts, but this restricts their strength. Their cultivation makes them all-rounders with many abilities everywhere, but only a few soul paths have aggressive abilities.
Soul attacks are stronger early on, but with each cultivation stage, other cultivators gain abilities to circumvent them. Only a rare few soul cultivators with special souls are always many steps ahead of other cultivators and overpower them with their soul.
'The human soul grows fully with the cultivation stage, the earthly soul is absorbed into the spiritual core at the peak of the spiritual core stage and becomes the nascent soul, becoming one with the body and giving the human soul a way to escape death even after the body fails.
Every cultivator has these two aspects, while the heavenly soul has a certain size at birth and can't be changed until much later. At that point, everyone would have already chosen their cultivation art and wouldn't change…
Only a rare few people born with a strong heavenly soul can become soul cultivators… becoming weaker gradually comes from the fact that they can't cultivate their heavenly soul. As for the fact that they are all-rounders, since they cultivate the soul, they have a natural high comprehension and can do many things at once.
The best about soul cultivators should be that they can cultivate the law through the spells they practice. With this base, their peak should be in the immortal realm. No wonder soul cultivators are scarce – few are born with a strong heavenly soul, and fewer can ascend to heaven when their midpoint is weak.'
When she thought of this, she smiled. This was simply the perfect path for her!
A weak heavenly soul later on? No way, it grows strong with her, why would it become weaker! A weak body becoming the largest reason of death? They should ask her jade ancestor who created the jade heart method whether they are weak! You gain a second life so early on!
The brain is actually secondary for soul cultivators since they put their focus on their soul, physical cultivators pay a lot of attention to their brain since it's the core of their soul, while spiritual cultivators are weak in body and soul, so any damage can be fatal, for soul cultivators, as long as their heart remains, the body is still alive!
All-rounder is exactly what she wants to be. Haven't you heard about her great responsibility? If she isn't an all-rounder with abilities everywhere, they she probably couldn't take upon the task. She had guesses but didn't dare to speak them out, so now she could only rely on her scattered thoughts to plan for the future.
Finally, she stopped looking and physical and spiritual cultivation and focused on soul cultivation. There were techniques to strengthen the body and built a large dantian, she didn't necessarily have to join other paths to become take their advantage.
All paths can do this, the separation of paths is actually the first step into becoming unique in the world of cultivation. If all people are the same, then they can't become immortals – through cultivation, everyone becomes more and more unique in their own way, until they are the only people in the chaos that are the way they are!
Lingshe checked out the soul cultivation tab and found less books than the other two. She could guess it easily 'Alas, isn't it because jade is inherently good in the spiritual path? It's also strong so the physical path can be used… but, even though wisdom is an aspect of jade, the jade isn't inherently focused on the soul.'
This didn't make her change her mind. Just the fact that there was a little relation was better than 99% of other roots, who would have nothing to do with the soul.
All five origin elements favour the spiritual and physical, while among the myriad roots, only the yin and soul root actually focus on the soul. The yin root is a step higher than the five elements, it's extremely rare, even rarer than having a strong soul, while the soul root is something that basically only appears in the netherworld, if there weren't cases of it appearing in the spiritual world, it would be classified as an other-worldly root like the ghost and nether roots.
As Lingshe looked through the soul cultivation arts, she saw that many of them were similar to the jade enlightenment mantra… they focused on the wisdom aspect of the soul. She shook her head and didn't consider them.
'No matter how great they are, since I have this advantage, I have to take a strong and domineering art… since I'm going to be an all-rounder anyways, I might as well take a soul art that's a bit stronger, so I can be a master of all, instead of a fool who has only tried everything out.'
