Chapter 790 Spirit Roo

As Davis read on, he stumbled upon the real and authentic way to measure one's talent.

Apparently, there is a particular root existing within the Dantian.

That root was known as the Spirit Root. The manifestation of a person's talent from birth.

At this point, Davis became astonished before he surveyed his own Dantian. He used his essence energy to probe around but couldn't find anything that fits the description. He even used his soul sense to stay every inch, every corner, but he was unable to sense that so-called Spirit Root!

The only powers within his dantian were the stable yet deep black Revolving Core, and the manifestation of the torrential rain of black lightning in its dormancy, ready to erupt when used in battle.

'Even with my Supreme Soul Stage Soul Sense, I am unable to find it?' Davis doubted the existence of the Spirit Root, but noticing that the tome said that only Immortals were able to find it, he became somewhat understanding even though he was still a little skeptical.

He then continued to read.

[

This Spirit Root, according to the Immortals, is impossible to discover by the mortals. Hence, after their forced ascension, it became impossible for people to measure talents accurately.

However, some Immortals have left certain formations that are in the form of an artifact, helping people measure talent with the cost of nothing!

That's right! These formations are Emperor Grade Artifacts that are able to find the Spirit Root with the help of a strange power embedded in the artifact. This strange energy is rumored to be the immortal energy!

]

Davis could tell why the Immortal Inheritances in the Grand Sea Continent did not possess such talent measuring formations. It is because those Immortals were Magical Beasts and not Humans.

Besides, Spirit Root could not predict one's future as the geniuses were more or less bound to die before they grow up, instead, what the Earth Dragon Immortal and the Ice and Fire Phoenix Immortals required was the character, will and other indomitable concepts.

Or they had those talent measuring artifacts but didn't deign to use it since the people from the Grand Sea Continent possessed trash genes. Maybe they had already run out of that so-called immortal energy within those artifacts.

In any case, Davis threw his musings to one side and continued to read.

[

At the end of the thousand years of servitude, with the help of that person from a peak power, I learned that Spirit Root is graded into five types, corresponding to Mortal Grade, Earth Grade, Sky Grade, King Grade, and Emperor Grade.

Each grade is then further divided into four levels, equaling to counterparts of cultivation levels; Low-Level, Mid-Level, High-Level, and Peak-Level.

Seem familiar? Let me explain!

It is said that people who have an Emperor Grade Spirit Root have the chance to easily enter the Eighth Stage within two hundred years just by cultivating in a normal environment without using many resources. It is said that they could even enter the Ninth Stage if they possessed High-Level Emperor Grade Spirit Root!

Although this information is shocking, I instantly concluded that this is why Emperor Grade constitutes both the Eighth Stage and the Ninth Stage when King Grade only comprises of the Seventh Stage!

I always had this doubt why the Eighth Stage and the Ninth Stage are forced into a single grade, and it turns out this is the reason. I even thought the people of ancient times were stupid, but it is I who was ignorant.

The grade of the Spirit Root is directly proportional to the stages a person could reach by cultivating normally! This, in turn, constructs the grades of the stages.

Heh, this fact is in veiled sight, and I failed to see, so I can't be blamed.

Nevertheless, the Spirit Root only describes the talent of one's Essence Gathering Cultivation. The easiest cultivation system out of the three cultivation systems.

And even in that, I possessed a High-Level Mortal Grade Spirit Root, which only allowed me to have a smooth sailing experience until the Second Stage, and further cultivation became difficult without resources.

My Spirit Root was utter trash!

No wonder I got stuck in the Law Manifestation Stage even with all those resources provided to nurture me. I certainly am trash, but I'm not a trashy person.

I will leave this information for the Empire, which had groomed me into a Sixth Stage Expert. I hope this would become of help so that talents can be appropriately nurtured!

Now, I will further explain the known characteristics and classification of Spirit Roots in a detailed manner.

]

Davis continued to read before he completed the tome and nodded in appreciation. This information was certainly helpful to him.

Talent filled the gap for the lack of resources, but since he always seems to obtain resources, talent became secondary to him. Although talent wasn't everything, he was curious all the same.

A person can not care about a matter, but that person should not remain ignorant.

He refused to remain ignorant. If he could learn something, then he should take the chance.

Davis turned to look at the Librarian beside him, giving her a jump scare.

The Librarian promptly bowed her head, "Yes, esteemed alchemist?"

"I heard that the Imperial Ethren Family collects poison attributed cultivation manuals, is that true?"

The Librarian looked taken aback before she became hesitant. Then remembering the Emperor's words, she nodded her head, "Those poison attributed cultivation manuals are all in the Treasury, but the records and experiences of countless poison experts are all in the second level of the Imperial Library."

"So, this is the first level..." Davis nodded his head and looked in the direction of another entrance at the far end of this wide and long hall.

However, since he confirmed that there were useful records for Evelynn, he wanted to continue to browse and increase his knowledge, but looking at the number of books, he grinned and felt that he should store this information in his head before reading and understanding them.

He promptly returned to the Imperial Library entrance before starting to completely submerge his soul sense into the books, absorbing their information into his head.

He took a few slow steps as he studiously walked past the bookshelves!

The Librarian looked at Alchemist Davis and knew that he was compiling information in his mind. This was a Soul Forging Cultivator's advantage. They can instantly recall the compiled information to the front of their mind and read, or copy it to another book by engraving a new book with ink or energy, preferably soul force.

She had also done it a lot of times, so she wasn't surprised, but her jaw dropped as she looked at him walk.

His slow pace was utterly fast in her diary!

'H-How can it be!?'

Davis's speed in compiling that information was just too incomprehensible to her. She didn't know if he was actually compiling the information or just taking a casual walk!

She couldn't feel his soul sense, so she felt that this esteemed alchemist was just browsing normally, but looking at him walk straight with his back taut while walking in a steady manner as if concentrating, she knew that this esteemed alchemist was recording information in his mind at an inconceivable speed!
