These formations provided various functions, such as concealing views, enhancing senses, gathering energy, and calming the mind.

Its effects were indeed superior to those of the lower Lingfeng Pavilion, and its materials were sturdier, preventing easy damage.

After closing the palace door, Meng Changqing sat cross-legged on the central cushion and opened his character panel.

【…】

【Unmerged Attribute: First-Grade Root Bone】

【Remaining Rewards: Earth-Grade Martial Arts Proficiency Cards *3, Attribute Selection Cards *3】

This was a considerable gain.

Honestly, Meng Changqing didn’t expect to obtain attributes from these top-tier geniuses so quickly.

Most of these elite geniuses were very proud, making it difficult to add them as friends.

However, to his surprise, Lan Chan, the prestigious senior brother of Spirit Peak, had proactively invited him.

Upon reflection, it made sense.

Meng Changqing wasn’t just any ordinary disciple. His name was already well-known on Spirit Peak. His displayed strength and potential surpassed most people.

Lan Chan’s actions were thus reasonable.

As for Mo Xiaoyu, she might be more challenging, but ultimately, she was still a child.

A few flattering words would likely win her over.

Refocusing his mind, Meng Changqing prepared to merge the attribute First-Grade Root Bone! This was a top-tier root bone, a much-desired attribute. Such quality was rare even among tens of thousands or millions.

Previously, he had seen many geniuses, but none had a First-Grade Root Bone. The highest he had encountered was Second-Grade, including Bai Suxi and his aunt.

Even among the many elites gathered on Spirit Peak today, only three possessed it: the Peak Master, Mo Xiaoyu, and Lan Chan.

This highlighted its rarity.

“Once I merge this root bone, my progress in the Dao Creation Realm won’t just maintain speed but might even accelerate,” Meng Changqing thought with a smile.

The Dao Creation Realm, like the Sea Cleaving Realm, involved comprehending true qi and true essence.

But while the Sea Cleaving Realm focused on increasing the quantity of true qi, the Dao Creation Realm enhanced the quality of true essence. Thus, the small realm differences in the Dao Creation Realm were significant, as the quality of true essence determined the power of martial techniques.

Meng Changqing planned to use the “Linglong Daluo Tian” to compensate and to comprehend true essence.

Consequently, his only obstacle in the Dao Creation Realm was resources. With enough resources, his cultivation in the Dao Creation Realm could progress rapidly.

“System, merge the First-Grade Root Bone!” Meng Changqing commanded.

【Ding! Merging begins!】

An icy sensation spread from his heart, flooding his body and penetrating his flesh, bones, and muscles.

This enhancement seemed particularly intense. M

eng Changqing could feel his entire body vibrating wildly, as if undergoing a transformation. He remained still, eyes closed, waiting.

An hour later, Meng Changqing opened his eyes, the merging process finally complete.

It had taken much longer than anticipated.

He immediately checked his internal state and was astonished. His bones, muscles, skin, blood vessels, and organs all emitted a mystical light, reminiscent of the legendary innate light, exuding a sacred aura.

“According to ancient texts, humans were once innate spirits. After a catastrophe, their innate names were erased, and their powers sealed. Hence, martial training was required to unlock these secrets and regain strength,” Meng Changqing recalled from miscellaneous readings. While the texts’ accuracy was uncertain, they served as a reference.

The First-Grade Root Bone was akin to an innate spirit in some respects.

“Let’s test the effect,” Meng Changqing thought, closing his eyes to begin cultivating.

The residual power of the Purple Spirit Essence Pill in his body could help him advance one or two small realms.

The sound of ocean waves seemed to echo in his ears as the medicinal power surged into his dantian, rapidly enhancing the quality of his true essence.

The speed was nearly ten times that of a Second-Grade Root Bone, making one day of cultivation equivalent to ten days for someone with a Second-Grade Root Bone.

“The difference is significant but reasonable,” Meng Changqing noted, satisfied with the results. With such rapid cultivation, he could easily break through another small realm before the Three Sect Martial Arts Tournament, even with minimal effort.

“With the root bone sorted, there should be no future issues. A First-Grade Root Bone is sufficient for any future cultivation needs,” Meng Changqing murmured.

While he wasn’t sure if anything surpassed a First-Grade Root Bone, his current understanding deemed it the best.

“What about comprehension?” he wondered.

He had seen many geniuses, from Bai Suxi to the Peak Master of Spirit Peak, but the highest comprehension he’d encountered was excellent.

In the cultivation world, comprehension wasn’t formally graded due to its abstract nature. The system’s ratings were merely an assessment.

“System, is there a grade higher than excellent for comprehension?” Meng Changqing asked.

【Yes】 the system responded.

“So, excellent isn’t the limit. There’s something better,” Meng Changqing mused.

“And root bones?” he asked.

【Root bone grades are: Sixth Grade, Fifth Grade, Fourth Grade, Third Grade, Second Grade, First Grade, and Perfect.】

“Perfect Root Bone?” Meng Changqing was stunned.

He hadn’t expected this. He thought First-Grade was the limit, as ancient texts suggested. He had never heard of a Perfect Root Bone. However, the system was reliable, and if it claimed such a thing existed, it likely did.

“A First-Grade Root Bone is already formidable. A Perfect Root Bone must be extraordinarily powerful, likely transcending the basic definition of root bones and possessing mysterious abilities,” Meng Changqing speculated.

He wondered what kind of person could possess such a root bone.

If a First-Grade Root Bone was one in a million, a Perfect Root Bone might be one in a hundred million.

“Perhaps I’ll encounter one beyond Tianling Prefecture,” Meng Changqing thought, gazing outside.

Tianling Prefecture was just one of the thirteen southern prefectures.

“I should continue cultivating. As my strength grows, I’ll naturally encounter such wonders,” Meng Changqing resolved, refocusing.

He deeply understood that to see beyond his current scope, he needed to expand his horizons.
