Chapter 70 Han Li's Time Loop Logic! [New book, please read!]

"For you and me, having multiple spiritual root attributes is not necessarily a bad thing."

Under the old pine tree, Meng De approached and saw Han Li teasing him, so he explained softly.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Han Li couldn't help but become interested. In his eyes, the black-robed youth in front of him was the extraordinary 'Reincarnator', so the other party's words were meaningful to Han Li.

"In the end, the path of cultivation always involves correcting one's own deficiencies. The more spiritual roots one possesses, the fewer deficiencies need to be corrected later, making cultivation easier. However, ordinary cultivators with multiple spiritual roots find it difficult to reach that profound realm." Meng De recalled briefly before continuing to Han Li:

"Therefore, the most stable path to immortality is for those with two or three spiritual roots. Those with a single spiritual root or a different spiritual root have to pay a very high price to complete their spiritual roots and achieve the unity of the five elements."

To paraphrase a saying that Mengde heard in his previous life: Running fast doesn't guarantee victory; avoiding stumbles is true success.

Single-spiritual-root and heterogeneous-spiritual-root cultivators are like runners who are incredibly fast, but when breaking through from the Nascent Soul stage to the Void Refinement stage, they are prone to crashing and suffering heavy losses. However, considering the environment of the human realm, the Nascent Soul stage is the pinnacle, so this stumble... human cultivators can't really fall even if they want to...

If we compare the cultivation of immortality in the human realm to a high-speed race, there is a speed limit between Qi Refining and Void Refinement. The faster a single-spiritual-root supercar runs, the more it has to stop under the speed limit to avoid speeding, thus giving other spiritual-root cars a chance to catch up.

However... in the human realm and the cultivation world, the speed limit for the section is after the destination gate, so most people exit the highway before even reaching the end of the section. Naturally, under these circumstances, a single-spiritual-root supercar wouldn't feel any speed limit whatsoever...

"...But I haven't heard of this before..." Han Li pondered for a moment, and finally realized that he didn't seem to have heard anything similar in Huangfeng Valley.

Meng De looked at Han Li with a strange expression, hesitated slightly, and shook his head, saying, "Because of the special environment of the human realm, we are stuck there. To go further, we need the unity of the five elements, but the quality of spiritual energy in the human realm does not support cultivators to reach that stage."

"Uh..." Han Li was stunned when he heard this. He was originally feeling a little lucky about his 'pseudo-spiritual root', but you suddenly tell me that the pseudo-spiritual root is a lottery ticket that can only be redeemed outside the human realm?

"Alright..." Han Li sighed. Although Meng De's words did not make him proud of his pseudo-spiritual root, they at least prevented him from feeling ashamed of it.

"Why did you invite me here?" Han Li, wearing a bamboo hat, looked down at Meng Village and asked directly.

"You already have the answer in your heart, don't you?" Meng De leaned against the old pine tree, looking up at the branches etched with the marks of time, a trace of reminiscence flashing in the depths of his eyes. He remembered that when he was a child, he quite liked to climb this old pine tree to raid bird nests.

"Otherwise, given your personality, you most likely wouldn't come to the appointment."

Han Li's eyes flickered slightly. He turned his head to look at Meng De, who was gazing up at the sky, and calmly asked, "Why would you say we're the same kind of people?"

"Because anyone who can see this talisman on my arm is not so simple," Meng De said.

"So you've so hastily assumed I'm the kind of person you think I am?"

"It's not a hasty decision." Meng De shook his head slightly: "There are thirteen major realms on the path of cultivation, corresponding to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining. The fact that you can see it means that you have at least cultivated to your current level before." Meng De noticed that Han Li's current cultivation aura seemed to be more profound than when he met him in the Blood Forbidden Land three months ago, so he speculated that the other party might have accidentally broken through to the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

"Of course, this 'you' doesn't refer to the 'you' you are now," Meng De added, noticing Han Li's unusual expression.

"...What do you mean?" Han Li's expression was complicated. If Meng De's words were true, then...what does it mean to have cultivated to the corresponding twelfth level of Qi Refining? He was almost at the peak! How come I didn't know I was so awesome?

"Well, to put it simply, you can understand it like this." Meng De thought for a moment and then gave Han Li an analogy: "If a long, long time ago, there was a Han Zhi, and that Han Zhi cultivated all the way to that point where he was in a dilemma, then at that moment, Han Zhi's projection, which is you, Han Li, was born."

"Why are you Han Li, and not Han Zhi?"

"Because Han Zhi is a mortal cultivating immortality, while Han Li is a mortal cultivating immortality with cheat codes. And this so-called cheat code is the great opportunity that you and I have."

"..." Han Li's expression was solemn. He didn't even know what his expression should have been before. His mind was now completely confused by Han Zhi and Han Li.

"Why is there such a projection? And why are you and me given such a great opportunity?" Meng De saw Han Li's solemn expression and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He was probably the only one who could give Han Li spoilers.

As for whether spoilers will cause changes to the plot... well... is the plot that important? If the old plot is disrupted, a new plot will naturally emerge. From the moment Mengde appeared in this world, he understood that the so-called original plot can reveal the general trend, but it does not need to be regarded as the ultimate rule.

Matter is in motion, the world is in motion, and the plot is naturally in motion and changing.

"Because Han Zhi was caught in a dilemma, he needed someone like Han Li to break the deadlock. Therefore, you, with your great opportunity, were born." Meng De looked at the solemn-looking Han Li and suddenly realized something: he seemed to remember that Han Li's little green bottle was given to him by Han Tianzun himself...

Logically, it seems paradoxical, but now that I think about it, when Han Tianzun replaced 'Han Zhi' and kicked the little green bottle to himself, it actually meant that Han Tianzun swallowed 'Han Zhi's' timeline and existence logic, thus completing the time loop and making it impossible for anyone to interfere with the causal line of Han Tianzun becoming the Time Dao Ancestor.

This is... the closed loop of "one certificate for life".

"Of course, in this situation, there's no need to worry about who is the projection and who is the original." Seeing that Han Li's expression was off, Meng De reassured Han Li: "If you, who have such a great opportunity, can finally break through this predicament, then the strong one is the original, and the weak one is the projection. Even if that person is upstream in the river of time, they are still your projection."

"Time...?" Upon hearing the words "River of Time," Han Li was taken aback. Could his little green bottle, which could rapidly cultivate spiritual herbs, be a kind of power of time?

"What? Do you have any doubts?" Meng De looked at Han Li and asked with interest.

"No... I think you should introduce yourself first." Even though Meng De's words had shattered Han Li's worldview, Han Li still regained a sliver of rationality and would not easily reveal the existence of the little green bottle.
