Hungover, I crossed over to the psychic realm

 After successfully breaking through to a new realm, Lin Yu didn't slacken in his cultivation. Instead, he became even more diligent and assiduous. Every day, he was immersed in cultivating spiritual power, constantly exploring his own potential. The old man, meanwhile, was there to provide meticulous guidance, witnessing his growth.

 One day, the old man summoned Lin Yu to his side and said in a solemn tone, "My child, now that you've gained a certain command of spiritual power, it's time to discover the spiritual roots within you. Spiritual roots are the very essence of a cultivator's talent, determining the direction of your future development and the extent of your potential on the path of cultivation." Upon hearing this, Lin Yu felt a mix of nervousness and anticipation. He was well - aware that this would be a significant turning point in his cultivation journey.

 The old man led Lin Yu to a secluded cave behind the Taoist temple. The entrance of the cave was enveloped in a thick aura of spiritual energy, exuding a faint, mysterious atmosphere. "This cave is called the Spiritual Awareness Cave. It contains a special spiritual - power fluctuation that can assist you in sensing your spiritual roots. Once you enter, calm your mind and focus on feeling the resonance between the spiritual power in your body and that in the cave," the old man instructed with a concerned look.

 Lin Yu took a deep breath and walked steadily into the cave. Inside, the light was dim, and dots of faint light flickered on the walls, as if stars were embedded there. Following the old man's advice, he sat cross - legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and concentrated his mind. He slowly activated the spiritual power in his body, making it flow and circulate through his meridians while carefully sensing the changes in the surrounding spiritual power.

 At first, the cave was quiet, and Lin Yu didn't detect anything out of the ordinary. However, he didn't get impatient. Instead, he persevered patiently. Gradually, he felt that the surrounding spiritual power seemed to come alive. Strands of subtle spiritual energy began to converge towards him, gently caressing his body as if communicating with him.

 As time went by, this feeling grew stronger. Suddenly, a powerful force surged within Lin Yu's body, causing his body to tremble

 slightly involuntarily. To his surprise, strange scenes emerged in his mind. In some scenes, flames blazed, as if intent on reducing everything to ashes. In others, water rushed ceaselessly, brimming with boundless vitality and agility. There were also scenes of thick earth, lush forests, and flickering lightning.

 Lin Yu's heart skipped a beat. He realized that these scenes might be related to his spiritual roots. He focused his mind, attempting to capture the information behind these scenes more clearly. After some effort, he finally confirmed that he had multiple spiritual roots within him: the Fire Spiritual Root, the Water Spiritual Root, the Earth Spiritual Root, the Wood Spiritual Root, and the Thunder Spiritual Root.

 This was an extremely rare occurrence. Lin Yu was both shocked and overjoyed. He knew that having multiple spiritual roots meant he would have broader options and greater potential on the path of cultivation. But he also understood that this would bring more challenges, as balancing and coordinating multiple spiritual roots was no easy feat.

 Lin Yu slowly got up and walked out of the cave. The old man had been waiting outside. Judging from the expression on Lin Yu's face, he guessed the outcome. "My child, do you have multiple spiritual roots in your body?" the old man asked with a smile.

 Lin Yu nodded and detailed his experiences inside the cave to the old man. After listening, the old man slightly furrowed his brows. After a moment of thought, he said, "While having multiple spiritual roots is a great advantage, it requires careful handling. If not properly coordinated, they may conflict with each other and impede your cultivation progress. However, you don't need to worry too much. As long as you find the right cultivation method and fully utilize the advantages of each spiritual root, your future achievements will be limitless."

 From then on, the old man formulated a unique cultivation plan for Lin Yu based on his spiritual - root situation. Lin Yu then embarked on an even more arduous cultivation process. He not only had to cultivate the spiritual power of each spiritual root separately but also had to try to integrate them to unleash more powerful forces.

 During the cultivation process, Lin Yu encountered numerousdifficulties. Sometimes, the volatility of the Fire Spiritual Root would cause disruptions in his spiritual power. At other times, the softness of the Water Spiritual Root would make his attacks less powerful. But he never gave up. With unwavering belief and indomitable perseverance, he overcame these difficulties time and time again, gradually mastering the techniques of using his spiritual roots, and his strength steadily increased.
