Chapter 425: Energy Foundation.
The special abilities that natural and artificial wonders grant their users are something the organ-type foundation lacks. So not only are artificial wonders as good as natural wonders, but they can also be created artificially, which ensures supply.
These two reasons are why ever since the artificial natural wonder foundation was discovered, there hasn’t been a need to discover a new type of foundation. But that did stop people from discovering one.
Besides, there was a want for a foundation that didn’t try to kill the cultivators that used them. This want led to the discovery of the energy-type foundation.
The energy-type foundation is established by creating more and more life seeds in the body by breaking through to the second mortal coil over and over again using the blood essence of powerful creatures. It is a process of establishing a foundation by shoring up life seeds one at a time.
So in a way, the energy-type foundation is similar to the organ-type foundation except that the source of the organ that is transplanted is from oneself, so there is no organ rejection and it is easy to assimilate.
The energy-type foundation rarely led to death during the process of assimilation. Establishing this foundation is also cheap and easy, unlike artificial foundations.
But that’s where the advantages of energy-type foundations end. The main disadvantage of the energy-type foundation is that the potential they grant is lacking.
After all, the main reason artificial foundations and other types of foundations are risky to assimilate is because they are too different from the normal human body and grant too much potential. These differences cause a lot of changes in the body, which can be fatal if not handled right.
On the other hand, the energy-type foundation is easy to assimilate and doesn’t cause much stress on the body. It doesn’t create many changes either, so it doesn’t grant much potential.
The other main disadvantages are that using the energy-type foundation takes a lot of time, rarely grants special abilities, and makes it impossible to reach the fourth mortal coil.
