[Remaining Residency Time: Five Hundred Years]
...
The clouds and mist were ethereal.
Immortal Qi twined around.
A somewhat frail-looking youth lay on a recliner, with two maidservants gently massaging him by his side.
"I didn't expect this consciousness descent to be with such an identity..."
The frail youth, who was Lin Yuan, discreetly took in his surroundings.
The maidens who were massaging him appeared to be soft and weak, but Lin Yuan could vaguely feel a subtle spiritual pressure emanating from them.
"Golden Core Realm female cultivators..."
Lin Yuan closed his eyes and rubbed his brow.
Through the memories of the 'original body,' Lin Yuan understood that this time he had traveled to a world of Immortal Tao.
To say it was a world of Immortal Tao wasn't quite accurate; it was more like a large world dominated by the Immortal Path.
"My father, he is the disciple with the highest talent in this generation of the Daode Immortal Sect, having Mutated Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude and is being nurtured as the next Immortal Sect Leader...."
"My mother is the daughter of the Immortal Sect Leader of the Daode Immortal Sect, a beloved gem adored like the moon by all the stars."
"My maternal grandfather is the 30th-generation Sect Leader of the Daode Immortal Sect, an Ancient Saint of the Refinement Void who suppresses the entire Divine Continent, and whose strength ranks among the top three in the Immortal Sect's history."
"My elder brother also has Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude and is expected to reach the Divinity Transformation Stage in the future."
"My second sister has Mutated Earth Spiritual Root. With the support of the sect's resources, there is also a great possibility for her to enter the Divinity Transformation Stage."
"As for me... am I just a waste without any Spirit Root aptitude?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
In this world, Spirit Roots are crucial; they act as the 'bridge' that communicates between the heavens and the earth.
Spirit Roots are categorized as Heavenly Spiritual Root, Earth Spiritual Root, Dual Spiritual Roots, Triple Spiritual Roots, Quadruple Spiritual Roots, and Quintuple Spiritual Roots.
The Quintuple Spiritual Roots are also known as Waste Spiritual Roots.
With Lin Yuan's background, even if he had such a Waste Spiritual Root as the Quintuple Spiritual Roots....
He would still be able to become a Foundation Establishment practitioner, or even a Golden Core cultivator, with the support of bountiful resources.
But he had no Spirit Root aptitude at all.
Without a Spirit Root, one cannot absorb spiritual energy from nature.
Even if one forcibly entered the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages with the aid of resources,
They would rapidly lose their cultivation and eventually fall back to being a mortal.
It was like a bamboo basket, no matter how much water it held.
It was of no use; it would all leak out swiftly.
Efforts were in vain, like drawing water with a bamboo basket.
"Nature's spiritual energy?"
Lin Yuan carefully felt it for a moment.
He discovered that this world was filled with strands and wisps of clear and pure energy.
Although far from comparable to the 'Scarlet Spirit Liquid' of the Red Kun lineage in the Main World, it was abundant and ubiquitous.
"What a pity..."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
Without a Spirit Root, you can't even touch nature's spiritual energy.
Lin Yuan couldn't even feel it; the only reason he could sense the spiritual energy was due to his powerful perception brought about by the descent of his consciousness.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
As Lin Yuan pondered, the two maidservants by his side asked with concern.
"I'm fine."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
Although he was a talentless waste,
His status as the third-generation descendant of immortals was still there.
Even the maidservants who served him were in the Golden Core Stage.
One must know, in the outside world, Golden Core cultivators are considered significant figures and female Golden Core cultivators are highly sought after.
Yet at the moment, the high and mighty female Golden Core cultivators were merely maidservants for Lin Yuan.
If Lin Yuan wished, they were ready to warm his bed at any time.
"You may leave for now."
Lin Yuan waved his hand.
"Yes."
The two maidservants nodded and respectfully withdrew.
Lin Yuan watched the two women leave.
These two Golden Core Stage maidservants were arranged by Lin Yuan's mother, not only to serve Lin Yuan but also as a protective measure.
"This world..."
A look of contemplation crossed Lin Yuan's face.
This world, boundless and vast, with the Daode Immortal Sect occupying the resource-rich Central Divine Continent, boasted the strongest power, producing an Ancient Saint of Refinement Void generation after generation.
Beyond the Central Divine Continent, to the west were the lands inhabited by Barbaric Demon Beasts; these Transformative Great Demons coveted the Divine Continent and time after time were suppressed by the Daode Immortal Sect.
To the south of the Central Divine Continent was the territory of the Ghost Cultivators of the Netherworld; its eerie and ghostly mist made it unsuitable for regular cultivators to stay for extended periods.
To the north of the Central Divine Continent were the Devil Cultivators, the strongest among them known as the Blood Demon, who cultivated the Sea of Blood Demonic Scripture with a claim that until the sea of blood dries up, they cannot die.
"Daode Immortal Sect, Barbaric Demon Beasts, Ghost Cultivators of the Netherworld, Devil Cultivators to the north, these are the four main powers, and to the east are the overseas islands, where it is said that some followers of the Left Paths have taken root, but they haven't formed a significant presence..."
"Without a doubt, among the many powers, the Daode Immortal Sect is unquestionably the strongest, with the power of one sect, it monopolizes the most resource-rich Central Divine Continent, driving the other three major powers to the margins..."
Lin Yuan silently thought.
Through his memories, Lin Yuan knew that though the Daode Immortal Sect claimed 'morality,' their actions were exceedingly domineering.
The Central Divine Continent originally had other major Immortal Sects besides the Daode Immortal Sect, but in the end, all were eradicated by the Daode Immortal Sect.
Eventually, the entire Central Divine Continent was enjoyed solely by the Daode Immortal Sect.
"No matter what world it is, strength determines everything."
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
The Human Civilization Alliance in the Main World is constantly expanding, engaging in battles with different species, seizing many star systems; their actions were not unlike the Daode Immortal Sect's.
"With five hundred years of residency time, I can take it slow."
Lin Yuan glanced at the remaining residency time and breathed a sigh of relief.
"This place isn't the Daode Immortal Sect?"
Lin Yuan rose to his feet, where he was now was a paradise away from the mortal world, abundant in Spiritual Energy, but compared with the magnificent presence of the Daode Immortal Mountain from his memory, it naturally fell short.
