Mythological origins

In fact, it is not surprising that Han Yu would have such an idea.

When the two met for the first time, they were just two young men who seemed to be equal. Han Yu believed that they could still treat each other as equals.

As a result, not long after, the other party had the power of the foundation-building level. Doctor Mo, who was on guard against him in every way, could not even get through a single move in his hands and was sent to the west.

This time, after not seeing each other for ten years, Bai Mo's strength was even more unfathomable.

Han Yu, who was at the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, asked himself that he had seen many foundation-building uncles in Huangfeng Valley. Even the predecessors in the Jindan stage had the honor of meeting them a few times, but they were far less terrifying than the momentum of Bai Mo in front of him.

He guessed that perhaps only the Yuanying ancestors in Huangfeng Valley, who were elusive, could compete with the one in front of him.

What's more, the other party had created such a heaven-defying method as the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sutra. Even if this sutra itself was very weak and the cultivation speed was slow, it did not reduce the magic in it at all.

"You can't cultivate immortality without spiritual roots. This has been the iron rule of the immortal world for thousands of years."

He still remembered what he said when he said goodbye to Mo Fengwu in his dream.

The two people in the dream were separated from immortals and mortals because of this reason.

...

"What are you thinking about... what am I?" Bai Mo cast his eyes on Han Yu.

For a moment, Han Yu felt as if he was being watched by thousands of eyes, and the stars in the sky were all watching him.

Even if each ray of gaze was as light as a feather, it was as numerous as the stars in the sky, and it almost made him unable to breathe.

"Junior dare not..." How could Han Yu dare to admit it? He had been in the world of cultivation for many years, and he had heard that some beasts had very strange tempers and would eat people if they disagreed.

Although he had a seemingly good relationship with the other party, he didn't have the courage to gamble how many lives this friendship was worth. After all, he only had one life.

"What do you think is the possibility for a pseudo-spiritual root cultivator to build a foundation?"

"Pseudo-spiritual root cultivators... have very little hope of building a foundation." Han Yu also told the truth.

He knew very well that unless this pseudo-spiritual root cultivator had great luck and had the help of a mysterious vial like himself.

Or he had a great background and had a relative who was at least in the Jindan stage and spent all his money to get a pile of spiritual pills, otherwise, let alone building a foundation, it would be difficult to cultivate to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining before dying of old age.

"Then guess why I still want to create such a technique?" Bai Mo asked with a smile.

"..."

"How do I know what you, a god, want to do..."

Han Yu was also crazy at this time.

"Senior, is it to fulfill Mr. Mo's last wish..." He asked tentatively, and he didn't even believe it himself.

Would a high-level cultivator really do this for the promise of a mere mortal?

But Han Yu was not a modern person after all, so he couldn't think of any slogans such as equality for all and immortal cultivation for everyone.

Bai Mo shook his head and said nothing more.

"Building a foundation..." The question of building a foundation for a pseudo-spiritual root cultivator made Han Yu's thoughts fly to a farther place.

He was thinking that although it was indeed difficult for pseudo-spiritual root cultivators to build a foundation, there were too many of them.

There might not be one child with spiritual roots among a thousand people, but anyone with a pseudo-spiritual root could get one by sacrificing their lifespan.

In time, the number of pseudo-spiritual root cultivators would be hundreds of times that of true spiritual roots.

Not all pseudo-spiritual root cultivators had no followers. For example, Han Yu's sister now found a small sect under the Yellow Wind Valley to take shelter. Han Yu would give her various cultivation resources every once in a while.

Relying on the accumulation of spirit stones, Han Yu's sister's cultivation speed was not slower than that of a true spiritual root cultivator.     As for the Mo sisters, he had also made up his mind to help them build their foundation as much as possible. That dream touched Han Yu deeply, and he must make up for the regrets in the dream.

Anyway, the mysterious vial is powerful enough.

...

Han Yu has seen even more outrageous things.

An old Jindan cultivator in Huangfeng Valley, who has never had a descendant with spiritual roots, was overjoyed after obtaining the Yin-Yang Five Elements Secret, and desperately used his wealth to help his youngest son, who had been released to the mortal world to be a king.

How rich is a veteran Jindan cultivator from a large sect.

He took out enough resources for ten true spiritual root cultivators to practice from the first level to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining. He took Huanglong Pills, Heqi Pills, and Poyuan Pills as if they were free, and made his youngest son go from a mortal to a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining in just five years.

Even some cultivators with two spiritual roots may not have this speed in normal practice.

"Senior, will the foundation-building cultivators... one day follow the footsteps of the Qi Refining cultivators?"

The number of pseudo-spiritual root cultivators is really too many. Under the huge base, although the proportion is extremely small, there will always be a lot of people who can build a foundation.

If the number of foundation-building cultivators in the world of cultivation increases tenfold or a hundredfold, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the existing foundation-building cultivators.

"Yes, you thought of this."

"But what about this?"

"Yes... but what about this?"

Han Yu was depressed for a while, and then smiled again.

The foundation-building immortality that he had been thinking about would become worthless in a short time.

But then he figured it out. As long as the mysterious vial was still in his hand, he would never stop at foundation-building.

"As long as I advance fast enough, this wave will never reach me!"

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!" With a confident smile, Han Yu said goodbye to Bai Mo, leaving only a white figure beside the lonely grave.

……

Three years later, a piece of news that shook the entire Nan Ya Province spread outward from the four super sects such as Yanghuo Palace.

The four major sects actually changed their usual practice and invited fellow Taoists from all over the world to go to Xuanwu Pass, which had always been guarded by several major sects, to jointly explore the endless resources of Wanchong Mountain behind Xuanwu Pass.

This world has always been in a state of confrontation between humans and monsters.

In the entire Nan Ya Province, nearly half of the land is actually not under the control of the human race.

In Nan Ya Province, the two sides roughly use Xuanwu Pass as the boundary, and the hundreds of thousands of miles of land around Xuanwu Pass are all areas where humans and monsters fight fiercely.

In the past, it has always been led by the four major sects, and a large number of cultivators have been drawn from top to bottom to guard Xuanwu Pass and the many fortresses around it to prevent the endless beast tides from Wanchong Mountain from time to time.

Although the task of defense is not easy, it can also obtain a large amount of resources from monsters. The total value of materials obtained from monsters alone every year is incalculable.

As for the price, it is just the lives of some unlucky people.

Therefore, unless there is a super beast tide that occurs once in a thousand or even ten thousand years, and the entire Nanyazhou needs to be mobilized for defense, the four major sects and their vassals will usually firmly occupy the interests of this area.
