However, the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind. Immortal Venerable Bai Yu threatened Yun Xi with his beloved, forcing Yun Xi to cultivate demonic arts, slaughter mortals, and betray his sect, ultimately enraging all the immortals, who rallied countless comrades to vanquish the demon. To exchange for a sliver of hope for his beloved's life, Yun Xi willingly threw himself into the Mortal Pool, defying the Heavenly Rules, and was condemned to a life of descent into the mortal world, all to find 'her' from his memories in the vast mortal realm. ... Thus, Yunxi became what the world called a banished immortal. He vaguely remembered that the Heavenly Gate, leading to the celestial realm, opened every sixty years. So he simply secluded himself in the Ten Thousand Green Mountains, living a carefree and leisurely life, adopting the name Jiufan, awaiting the day the Heavenly Gate would open, hoping to return to the celestial realm and retrieve his forgotten memories. However, fate was unkind. On that autumn equinox evening, Jiufan was moved by compassion and developed human emotions. He adopted a lonely infant and raised it as his own.

    The theory of spiritual roots arose as spiritual energy gradually weakened over time. If we consider an ancient era, or even the beginning of time, a time when gods and demons coexisted and cultivated together—a time when humans, gods, demons, monsters, ghosts, spirits, and other creatures—then naturally everyone, and even all things in the world, could cultivate (specifically referring to immortality cultivation). Immortal cultivation inherently involves seizing the power of heaven and earth. One person can drink from a bucket of water for a long time, but if ten thousand people drink from it, each person might only get a drop. Thus, immortality cultivation developed to the point of conflict with humans, and at this time, the spiritual root school naturally emerged. Person A, with exceptional talent, cultivates for one year, equivalent to one hundred years for others—or, to exaggerate, ten thousand years. Person A naturally controls the allocation of resources, distributing them based entirely on their whims! Then, persons B, C, and D unite to establish sects, families, etc., Gathering ten thousand cultivators to threaten Person A into taking half the resources. With both sides evenly matched, they reconcile and divide the resources equally. Person A, feeling powerless alone, then establishes a sect, taking in disciples, and persons B, C, and D follow suit. So those who cultivate slowly try every means to join a sect, hoping their descendants can succeed if they can't. Now, let's ask: A is a PhD from Peking University, B is from an unknown university, C dropped out of a terrible school, and D's whole family are national-level officials. Who has a greater chance of successfully joining a sect? Even if they all join at the same time, who will stand out? Will the protagonist, a protagonist with an overpowered personality, stand out? That's because the author gave them a cheat code. Of course, anyone can cultivate the spiritual root system; spiritual roots are just a specific manifestation of aptitude. If everyone learns for a day and reaches the same cultivation level, then congratulations, this is generally called a level NPC of the same kind. Oh, you say everyone is a protagonist? Well, I'll open my eyes wide and say, "What are you looking at? I'm introducing my novel!"
