There are many types of unique spiritual roots, which will not be listed one by one. The more common and powerful unique spiritual roots are lightning and ice. Some unique spiritual roots have too strange attributes and their strength is not stable.
Spiritual roots are also divided into yin and yang. For example, yang fire spiritual roots are suitable for more ferocious techniques and fire-based spells with a large range, while yin fire spiritual roots are characterized by various strange attributes, such as attacks with a very small range but high destructive power.
Secondly, if one possesses a single spiritual root, and that root is suitable, there is another crucial step: whether one can become a cultivator of magic.
Spiritual root quality.
From highest to lowest, they are divided into Heavenly Grade, Earthly Grade, Mortal Grade, and Waste Spiritual Root.
The cultivation speed of the first three is 10:7:3, while those with useless spiritual roots have trouble even absorbing spiritual energy, so it's no exaggeration to say they can't cultivate at all.
For example, between a common-grade single spiritual root and a heavenly-grade triple spiritual root, sects generally give priority to the latter.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable that those with more than three spiritual roots cannot join even slightly larger sects.
Once you meet the above three conditions and successfully join a sect or take a highly skilled cultivator as your master, you can be considered to be walking normally on the path of Dharma cultivation.
Because the conditions for becoming a Dharma cultivator are too demanding, and the resources of the plane are insufficient to support the extremely costly cultivation of Dharma cultivators, some people have found alternative paths and created many methods that do not require high-quality spiritual roots for cultivation.
Among them, the most famous is the body cultivator.
The Dharma cultivator focuses on magical arts, while the Body cultivator, as the name suggests, focuses on the physical body.
As long as one's physical condition is acceptable, one can endure hardship, and with a bit of luck, one can obtain some medicinal herbs to nourish the body, becoming a body cultivator is not a bad path.
However, physical cultivation is slow to show results and the improvement speed is also slow, so unless it is a sect that specializes in cultivating physical cultivators, normal sects rarely cultivate a large number of physical cultivators.
However, the combat power of body cultivators is no less than that of magic cultivators. Many body cultivators who have reached the pinnacle of their cultivation can tread the void, pluck the sun, moon and stars from the sky, and destroy mountains and the earth with their physical bodies.
Several great beings achieved true invulnerability to all laws and led an era to glory.
Of course, physical cultivators don't live long, at most a thousand years before they die. Even if they have the strength of a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator, their lifespan is less than one-tenth of that of a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator.
In addition, it takes a long time to develop, so people who have the means to cultivate magic generally don't do body tempering. It's not only tiring, but it's also not cool enough.
Then there are the heretical cultivators, whom everyone should kill.
Unorthodox cultivators do not have fixed cultivation methods. Any cultivation method that violates the laws of nature and is based on the persecution of living people to enhance cultivation is called an evil art. Cultivators who practice evil arts are naturally called unorthodox cultivators.
Those practices that use human flesh, soul, essence, organs, tendons, bones, skin, and marrow to enhance cultivation are the mainstream of heretical cultivation methods.
There is also a special technique that has been hovering in the gray area between good and evil.
That is the method of dual cultivation.
As the name suggests, during sexual intercourse, one can replenish yin and yang, and both partners become stronger.
However, there are also many evil cultivators who specifically use women as vessels for dual cultivation, absorbing yin to replenish yang, but not absorbing yang to replenish yin. The only fate of these women is death.
Even on the Blazing Spirit Continent, there are many cultivators who make a living by selling furnaces and cauldrons, and some even have ancestors who started doing this and made a fortune.
The methods of evil cultivation are against the natural order and do not lead to long lifespans. It is rare for cultivators to reach the Tribulation Transcending stage. Even if they do, it is during the golden age when there are only a handful of cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage.
Moreover, the difficulty for evil cultivators to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation is directly doubled. Even if they survive the Heavenly Tribulation, they will be crippled if they do not die.
In the history of the Blazing Spirit Continent, several evil cultivators who reached the Tribulation Transcending stage were killed by other Tribulation Transcending stage cultivators after they underwent their Heavenly Tribulation, and their treasures were then stolen.
