Spirit Roots: Types, Number, and Rarity
Types of Spirit Roots: Each spirit root aligns with a cosmic or elemental force, granting unique abilities alongside standard cultivation benefits. The five types are:
Heavenly Spirit Root (✨ Divine Order, Celestial Connection):
Affinity: Links to the heavens, fate, and universal laws.
Chaos Spirit Root (🔥 Entropy, Wild Power, Unpredictability):
Affinity: Harnesses unstable, primal energies.
Yin Spirit Root (🌙 Darkness, Stillness, Death, Ice):
Affinity: Tied to shadows, cold, and the underworld.
Yang Spirit Root (☀️ Light, Vitality, Fire, Motion):
Affinity: Embodies light, heat, and martial energy.
Life Spirit Root (🌿 Creation, Healing, Growth):
Affinity: Connected to nature, vitality, and creation.
Number of Spirit Roots: A cultivator can have 1 to 5 spirit roots, with 5 being the world's absolute limit.
Single root: Common among cultivators, though awakening any root is rare (1/10 humans for a low-grade root).
Spirit Root Grades: Quality and Rarity
Grades: Spirit roots are graded by quality, affecting their potency:
Low Grade: Baseline, common (1/10 humans awaken).
High Grade: Rare, a sign of talent.
Superior Grade: Exceptionally rare, a sect's treasure.
Perfect Grade: Mythical, a once-in-a-millennium gift.
Higher grades are exponentially rarer, with perfect-grade roots being nearly unattainable.
