Let us discuss the Five Spiritual Roots and the Heavenly Spiritual Root. Which one was stronger?
Many readers who had read “A Record of a Mortal’s Journey to Immortality” said that the Five Spiritual Roots was the strongest. They said that at the moment of Void Refinement, the Five Spiritual Roots would be needed.
I looked at them speechlessly.
Let us do a comparison. One cultivator had the Heavenly Spiritual Root. When he cultivated to the peak of the Soul Formation stage, he then repaired his Spiritual Root, turning into the Five Spiritual Roots.
Meanwhile, another cultivator relied on the Five Spiritual Roots to cultivate the Void Refinement stage. Which of the two would be easier?
Naturally, it was the former.
In the mortal realm, Heavenly Spiritual Roots were the strongest.
In the spirit realm, Heavenly Spiritual Roots were still the strongest.
In the mortal realm, Han Paopao cultivated with a Golden Core female cultivator, and then consumed eight Foundation Establishment Pills in order to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Does it not sound like a luxurious Foundation Establishment journey?
The Heaven-holding Bottle also had a hidden function, which was to increase one’s aptitude. It was because Han Li carried the Heaven-holding Bottle with him, his aptitude had become extremely high. He was able to break through to the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Dao Fusing, Mahayana, and so on. He was able to succeed with one try in almost all cases, and he only failed once during the Void Refinement stage.
Needless to say, this sort of aptitude that ignored typical bottlenecks was extremely powerful.
Many late-stage cultivators would either fail several times before succeeding, or they would be stuck at a bottleneck and would not be able to advance.
Han Li’s ability to ignore bottlenecks was downright terrifying.
If Han Li did not have the Small Green Bottle, he would have ended his cultivation journey at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Mortal cultivators were essentially cultivators who paid through the nose.
If you truly thought that Han Li was just a mortal, then you would be wrong.
…
Now, let’s talk about the settings in this book.
The Heavenly Spiritual Root was the strongest, and the Five Spiritual Roots were the weakest.
The cultivation speed of the Heavenly Spiritual Root was 10 times or even 20 times faster than that of the Five Spiritual Roots. The Heavenly Spiritual Root did not have a bottleneck before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, and the resources required to be spent were also less.
However, the cultivation speed of the Five Spiritual Roots was particularly slow. Without taking medicinal pills, one could only reach the fifth level of the Qi Refinement stage at most. One needed to continuously take medicinal pills to reach the peak of the Qi Refinement stage, and this was a huge amount of resources.
An ordinary cultivator could reach the Foundation Establishment stage by taking one Foundation Establishment Pill, but a Five Spiritual Roots required ten.
It would be the same for the Zifu stage. An ordinary cultivator would need one or two Purple Yang Jades and other spiritual medicines to enter the Zifu stage. However, a Five Spiritual Roots cultivator would require ten Purple Yang Jades.
For the Golden Core stage, it was the same. An ordinary cultivator would only need one or two Golden Core Formation Pills, but a Five Spiritual Root cultivator required more than ten.
If the same resources were given to other cultivators, five or six Golden Core stage cultivators would have been born.
Could a cultivator with Five Spiritual Roots fight 5 Golden Core stage cultivators by himself?
Impossible.
If one had to say that the Heavenly Spiritual Root had a weakness, it was that the Heavenly Spiritual Root could only use one attribute.
Fire-type Heavenly Spiritual Root could only cultivate fire-type spells. As for other earth-type spells, wood-type spells, and so on, they could not be cultivated. Meanwhile, Five Spiritual Roots cultivators could cultivate five attributes.
However, in a battle, it was never about who cultivated the most spells. It was about who cultivated the most divine ability and who was stronger.
A thousand moves were not as good as one mastered move.
There was also a saying that Five Spiritual Roots could cultivate five-element cultivation techniques. With the five elements growing together, the cultivation speed would be faster.
The idea was good, but it was not realistic.
More likely, the five elements of True Qi would clash with each other and drag each other down, affecting the cultivation speed and even risk exploding the body.
Due to the clash of True Qi, and the risk of cultivators’ bodies exploding, many were unable to overcome this issue.
Only the top-tier talent with the comprehension ability could do it.
As for the five elements growing together, a cultivator could convert the elements of True Qi into each other, namely wood, fire, earth, gold, and water. With this process, all the elements could advance at the same time.
It was reasonable in theory, but to achieve this, one needed a strong mental strength and a terrifying comprehension ability.

Most cultivators with Five Spiritual Roots could not achieve this.
Spiritual Roots were very important, and only after reaching the Nascent Soul stage did their effects start to decrease.
A Nascent Soul with Five Spiritual Roots controlled five types of spells, walked the path of all spells, which was the Path of Bo. A single Spiritual Root Nascent Soul cultivator walked the path of one technique suppressing all spells, which was the Path of Spirit.
As for who was stronger between the two, it would be decided after a fight.
Who was stronger would still depend on the cultivator himself, not the Spiritual Root. When that was the case, the Spiritual Root was not important..
