I'm Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 421: Mountain Is Not A Mountain; Water Is Not Water

"Water's made of hydrogen and oxygen elements?"

Dragin grabbed the water in front of her. No matter how she looked at it, water was still water. Nothing came out of it.

"There's no point separating it this way. Hydrogen and oxygen are formless, there's no way to see it." Li Nianfan ruffled Dragin's head. He shook his head with a smile.

Dragin lifted her hand and said, "Brother, then...if my dragon family's made of the water element, does that mean we're made of hydrogen and oxygen elements?"

Huh?

Li Nianfan looked at Dragin, rather amused. She seemed to have understood it and she even used an example!

"Hmm...you could say that." Li Nianfan thought for a while. He continued, "However, this is just a theory, it's just my speculation."

The crowd nodded in unison. They all looked at Li Nianfan without blinking. They were serious.

'Call it speculation or whatever! We'll believe whatever you say!'

Li Nianfan continued, "I've thought about the cultivation. There are two important elements in the cultivation to immortality—one is Spiritual Root and the other is Spiritual Qi. The so-called Spiritual Root is made of the body's structure. Dragin, your dragon family's made of mostly water elements, while an ordinary man's made of mostly carbon elements. Of course, the more powerful cultivators probably have an element in them that makes them different from an ordinary man. This could be the so-called Spiritual Root that's required to cultivate."

"Human bodies are made of carbon elements?"

Xiao Chengfeng could not help looking at his own body. After looking closely, he seemed very perplexed.

'What's a carbon element? I'm made of this thing? I'm not made of flesh and blood?'

Li Nianfan smiled, "This is easy to verify. Do you know why wood will turn black when burnt? Similarly, if the human body's being burnt, only some black ashes will be left behind. This is the carbon element."

"If so, the carbon element is the basic component, while earth, water, wind, and fire elements are those that determine one's cultivation!" Lan seemed to have vaguely understood it.

"However...the earth, fire, water, and wind elements are indeed the signs of all powers in the world." Lan realized. "No wonder so many people left their flesh bodies behind to use the elements in the world to restore it. They're actually changing the elements of their bodies? It's beneficial for cultivation?"

"You can see it this way. I was just making an example." Li Nianfan smiled. "Actually... Nevermind. This problem's too complicated. It's hard to explain to you all at once. It's not ideal for us to stay outside the Southern Sky Gate for so long. You all must be busy. Once you all have the time, do stop by the Deluxe Merit Palace. I'll explain further."

To be honest, he had thought this through. He had some realizations but they were just some theories for now. He had no way of verifying them.

To him, the people in this realm were like a gun or a cannon, while the Spiritual Qi and Immortal Qi were like bullets or elixirs. The Spiritual Roots had an immense power that could trigger even more power.

Nuclear aggregation was such a cool thing, it formed a sun. If they had a nuclear aggregation inside one's body, how powerful would that be? Would that not make a sun in human form?

Of course, this would not have happened in his previous realm. However, this cultivation realm seemed to be too unrealistic. The so-called 'cultivation' was probably the process of regenerating different energies of each element.
