Inside the special space of the Treasure Pavilion!
Among the books Ye Qingxuan had just read, besides knowledge related to the advancement of spiritual plants and Spiritual Veins, there were also some secrets about Blessed Cultivators!
It turned out that to contract a Spiritual Land and become a Blessed Cultivator, transforming an ordinary Spiritual Land into a Blessed Land, a Cultivator needed to separate a part of his own Origin of Essence, Qi, and Spirit and integrate it into the Spiritual Land before Foundation Establishment, when his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were not yet stable.
After a Cultivator's partial Origin of Essence, Qi, and Spirit integrated into the Spiritual Land's Origin, contracting and controlling the Spiritual Land.
From then on!
The Cultivator and the Spiritual Land would Cultivate together, their lives intertwined, remaining in one place, becoming a Blessed Cultivator!
The Spiritual Land, having fused with the Cultivator's Origin of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, underwent a transformation, gaining the opportunity to accelerate its advancement and turn into a Blessed Land.
And this was the Origin of Blessed Cultivators and Blessed Lands.
The reason Blessed Cultivators could increase their Spiritual Root with the help of a Blessed Land was because the Cultivator's partial Origin of Essence, Qi, and Spirit merged with the Blessed Land's Origin, and the Blessed Land was also a part of the Di Xuan World.
Therefore, the birth of Blessed Cultivators was beneficial to the development of the Di Xuan World. Under the feedback of the Di Xuan World's Origin, the Blessed Cultivator's Spiritual Root would naturally grow slowly.
The higher the Blessed Land's Rank, the greater the feedback from the Di Xuan World, and the faster the Blessed Cultivator's Spiritual Root would grow.
The reason Ye Qingxuan chose to become a Blessed Cultivator was precisely because he valued this point.
But he didn't expect that becoming a Blessed Cultivator would require the Fusion of his own Origin of Essence, Qi, and Spirit!
Originally, he had thought of using his Clone, Eternal Turtle, to bear the restrictions of a Blessed Cultivator on his behalf. Now, in this situation, he wasn't sure if the Origin separated from his Clone, Eternal Turtle, could replace his Origin of Essence, Qi, and Spirit?
Forget it, let nature take its course!
Even if his plan to have his Clone, Eternal Turtle, bear the Blessed Cultivator restrictions on his behalf failed, he wasn't without other hope.
With his own calculations in mind, Ye Qingxuan continued to read.
After becoming a Blessed Cultivator, Breakthrough in Cultivation did not require Undergoing Tribulation; it could happen naturally.
Because other Cultivators plunder Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to Breakthrough, the Di Xuan World would naturally send down an assessment to see if you had the qualifications to occupy a share of Heaven and Earth resources.
However, Blessed Cultivators, in the process of Cultivation, also indirectly contributed to the Di Xuan World, so the Di Xuan World would naturally not send down Lightning Tribulation to hinder a Blessed Cultivator's Breakthrough.
“I didn’t expect such a pleasant surprise!”
Before reading these books, Ye Qingxuan didn't know this.
This discovery made Ye Qingxuan very happy!
After all, Undergoing Tribulation caused a significant commotion. Undergoing Tribulation within the Xuantian Sect would undoubtedly expose him to everyone, which did not align with his planned development path.
Now that he knew Blessed Cultivators didn't need to Undergo Tribulation for Breakthrough, it was naturally for the best. The fewer people who paid attention to him, the better.
Although Ye Qingxuan now had a great impression of the Xuantian Sect and thought it was quite good, one must still be wary of others. It was better to keep his own life in his own hands as much as possible.
Reading further, Ye Qingxuan understood why the Cultivation Technique he cultivated, Earth Source Art, became the exclusive Cultivation Technique for Disciples of the Fu Xiu Institute.
Under normal circumstances, the success rate of a Cultivator separating his Origin of Essence, Qi, and Spirit and integrating it into a Spiritual Land was too low.
Through the continuous attempts of their predecessors, the Cultivation Technique that Ye Qingxuan cultivated, Earth Source Art, was born.
During the Cultivation process of Earth Source Art, a portion of the Earth Origin Qi would be continuously absorbed and integrated into the Cultivator's Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and Earth Origin Qi was one of the Origins of a Spiritual Land.
During the Cultivation of Earth Source Art, the Cultivator's Essence, Qi, and Spirit were also continuously fusing with the Earth Origin Qi.
By the time a Cultivator cultivating Earth Source Art reached Qi Refining Complete and was about to Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm, his Essence, Qi, and Spirit would have already fused enough Earth Origin Qi. At this point, contracting a Spiritual Land and integrating his Essence, Qi, and Spirit into the Spiritual Land's Origin would be much easier.
Through generations of observation, it was found that Cultivators with Earth Spiritual Roots could achieve twice the result with half the effort when cultivating Earth Source Art, and there was basically no risk of failure when contracting a Spiritual Land.
This was also the true reason why the Xuantian Sect needed to select Disciples with Earth Spiritual Roots to become Blessed Cultivators!
It wasn't that Cultivators with other Spiritual Roots couldn't become Blessed Cultivators, but only Earth Spiritual Root Cultivators, after cultivating Earth Source Art, could achieve a 100% success rate!
Moreover, after a Blessed Cultivator died, the Blessed Land could be re-inherited and contracted by other Cultivators.
This was also the only opportunity for a Blessed Cultivator to directly contract a Blessed Land of Rank Two or higher!
Other Blessed Cultivators could only contract a Rank One Spiritual Land at the beginning, transforming it into a Blessed Land and developing it slowly.
However, a Blessed Land could only be passed down three times. After three times, it would slowly transform back into an ordinary Spiritual Land and merge into the Xuantian Mountain Range. Many high-Rank Spiritual Lands in the Xuantian Mountain Range were born this way.
Therefore, these quotas for inheriting a predecessor's Blessed Land were extremely precious and could save Blessed Cultivators a lot of time. Currently, most high-Rank Blessed Cultivators within the Xuantian Sect had basically accumulated and inherited them through generations.
Ye Qingxuan knew his own limitations and had no covetous desires for such quotas, nor did he care about the restriction that a Blessed Land could only be passed down three times.
His Blessed Land, Ye Qingxuan's, would naturally exist eternally with him; outsiders should not dream of having the chance to inherit his Blessed Land.
Flipping pages continuously, Ye Qingxuan continued to read.
Suddenly, Ye Qingxuan paused. He finally discovered the true reason why Blessed Cultivators did not have Clones walking outside.
It turned out, what made them was also what broke them!
The Cultivator's partial Origin of Essence, Qi, and Spirit merged with the Blessed Land's Origin, and it was precisely because of this that the Blessed Land became an alternative Incarnation for the Cultivator.
This was the main reason why Blessed Cultivators within the Xuantian Sect did not Cultivate Clones to walk outside.
It wasn't just because the methods for cultivating Clones were extremely expensive, but also because of the restrictions of the Blessed Land, which rendered ordinary Clone and Puppet methods useless.
Ordinary Clones and Puppets simply could not leave the range of the Blessed Land.
Only an Incarnation condensed from one's own Origin of Essence, Qi, and Spirit could break free from this restriction.
However, cultivating an Incarnation had Realm requirements and quantity limitations. A Cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm could only condense one Incarnation, and a powerhouse in the Dongxu Realm could condense a second Incarnation!
When a Blessed Cultivator contracted a Blessed Land using a special method, he had already occupied the quota for the first Incarnation. Therefore, if a Blessed Cultivator wanted to condense another Incarnation, under normal circumstances, he would have to wait until the Dongxu Realm.
That was a powerhouse in the Dongxu Realm!
The snail-like Cultivation speed of Blessed Cultivators was enough to make them despair and directly give up the idea of condensing an Incarnation.
And the reason why a Blessed Cultivator's Cultivation speed would be hundreds of times slower was because after becoming a Blessed Cultivator, ninety-nine percent of the Spiritual Qi absorbed into the Blessed Cultivator's body would be absorbed by the Blessed Land's Origin, leaving only one percent for the Blessed Cultivator himself.
However, there was a solution for the slow Cultivation speed of Blessed Cultivators!
The Blessed Land absorbed the Spiritual Qi within the Blessed Cultivator's body simply because the Blessed Land lacked energy for evolution, instinctively absorbing the Spiritual Qi within the Blessed Cultivator's body as accumulation for advancement.
Therefore, as long as a massive amount of energy was provided to the Blessed Land, the Blessed Land would naturally no longer absorb the Blessed Cultivator's meager energy!
Moreover, after the Blessed Land advanced, it would provide feedback to the Blessed Cultivator, disregarding Spiritual Root restrictions, directly increasing the Blessed Cultivator's Cultivation. This was also one of the main methods for Blessed Cultivators to improve their Cultivation.
Not only that, under normal circumstances, Cultivators who consumed Medicinal Pills would accumulate Pill Toxins and develop resistance.
After a period of time, Cultivators would need to expend effort to Cultivate special Cultivation Techniques or consume special purified Medicinal Pills to cleanse the Pill Toxins in their bodies before they could continue to consume Medicinal Pills for Cultivation!
As an Alchemist, Ye Qingxuan was naturally very clear about this point.
The reason he hadn't developed resistance to Spirit Enhancement Pills yet was simply because Spirit Enhancement Pills belonged to special Medicinal Pills, and their effects directly acted on the Spiritual Root, not directly helping him increase his Cultivation, so the side effects were much smaller.
However, much smaller side effects did not mean no side effects at all. Over time, Ye Qingxuan's body would sooner or later develop resistance to Spirit Enhancement Pills!
But a Blessed Land could help a Blessed Cultivator purify his body and solve the problem of Medicinal Pill resistance, allowing the Blessed Cultivator to frequently use Medicinal Pills for Cultivation, compensating for some of the deficiencies of the Blessed Cultivator's slow Cultivation!
But all of this, all the solutions for the slow Cultivation of Blessed Cultivators, required massive amounts of resources.
To put it bluntly, those Disciples who voluntarily became Blessed Cultivators, and those who were passively thrown into the Xuantian Sect by the Xuantian Sect's various affiliated forces to become Blessed Cultivators.
In the eyes of the Xuantian Sect's various affiliated forces, they were basically already abandoned pieces responsible for producing resources. How could they spend a large amount of resources to Cultivate these abandoned Blessed Cultivators?
After all, the ultimate ownership of the Blessed Land did not belong to them.
Compared to these people, the Ye family, where Ye Qingxuan belonged, although not a major force, their support for Ye Qingxuan was already considerable!
As for the Xuantian Sect, cultivating Blessed Cultivators was for resources. Spending a small amount of resources in the early stage to Cultivate Blessed Cultivator reserve Disciples was already benevolent. How could they spend vast resources to improve the Cultivation of Blessed Cultivators?
After all, the Xuantian Sect was not a nanny for its Disciples; it couldn't consider everything for these Disciples.
Not only the Xuantian Sect, but most other hegemonic forces were also like this.
This was also the main reason why various hegemonic forces were willing to Cultivate Blessed Cultivator reserve Disciples in the early stage but were unwilling to spend resources to Cultivate low-Rank Blessed Cultivators.
Nothing else, simply because Blessed Cultivators were a huge money pit, and the resources required to Cultivate Blessed Cultivators into high-Rank Cultivators were simply too much.
Some low-Rank resources were fine, but high-Rank resources, even for hegemonic forces like the Xuantian Sect, their inventory was very tight.
If Blessed Cultivators could not be cultivated into high-Rank Blessed Cultivators, then the investment in the low-Rank, cultivating one or two Rank Two or Rank Three Blessed Cultivators, had absolutely no meaning for hegemonic forces like the Xuantian Sect.
Anyway, with the accumulation of time, after three inheritances of a Blessed Land, high-Rank Blessed Cultivators would naturally slowly emerge.
After all, high-Rank Blessed Lands had a much greater auxiliary effect on low-Rank Blessed Cultivators.
