Destiny is ashes

Chapter 480 Three Sacred Trees, Three Spiritual Roots (23)

——The true dragon is not a dragon, but the ancestor of all spirits!
——A true man is not a human being, but the leader of all spirits!
Before, An Jing had vaguely guessed that the Zulong was not the flesh-and-blood "dragon beast" that we see now, but a sacred being with a body like a dragon or snake. So it was very likely a tree...

And now, under the revelation of Huaixu Tiandao, he can be sure that the Ancestral Dragon is indeed an ancient sacred tree that once stood between heaven and earth and moved with the movement of the spiritual veins of heaven and earth!

Its branches reach into the sky, following the inspiration of the sky and the sea; its roots penetrate into the earth, regulating the turbidity and evil in the earth's veins. It is the spiritual root of heaven and earth, and the hub of the way of heaven!
Its fruit is the most ancient 'demon pill'. Once taken by ordinary beasts, they can instantly become demon spirits or even true spirits. This process was summarized and studied by the dragons of later generations and turned into the orthodox way of true spirits. The 'True Dragon Spine' is the way to simulate the Ancestral Dragon's ability to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
But the dragons are not real dragons. The current dragons are probably just the most powerful of the true spirits created by the Ancestral Dragon. They are the most loyal followers and followers of the Ancestral Dragon, but not the true bloodline descendants of the Ancestral Dragon. Therefore, their true dragon spines have been modified.

On the contrary, humans have similarities with Zulong in terms of spine!

Just as humans need to practice to open their spirits, monsters need to practice to condense monster pills. The spiritual roots of heaven and earth need to grow, and there must be an initial foundation and a source.

The source is the original chaos of heaven and earth in Huaixu Realm, the original nature that was bred naturally, the natural demon pill born from heaven and earth.

That is the seed of the Ancestral Dragon, the egg that gave birth to the Ancestral Dragon, and the original source of the Ancestral Dragon's spiritual root of heaven and earth!

For the primates of later generations, the method of 'Demon Pill True Spirit' is that seed! And if you don't practice the way of demon spirits, then the spiritual root can be used as a substitute for practice! This is the fundamental difference between the way of demon spirits and the way of immortals!

However, the ancestor dragon fell.

The [Spiritual Roots of Heaven and Earth] of Huaixu Tiandao was destroyed... The current Huaixu Tiandao, like the Huaixu warriors, could not use their spiritual roots to control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, to control the Zhoutian Lingsha, so there was the 'Fate Martial Arts'...

The Heavenly Dao and the sentient beings are actually two sides of the same coin! In other words, the shortcomings of the sentient beings are the shortcomings of the Heavenly Dao. If sentient beings can make up for this shortcoming, then the Heavenly Dao can also make up for it!
Demons, immortals, martial arts... all simulate heaven and earth, but they change because the environment of heaven is constantly changing.

“But people are different!”

An Jing understood in his heart: "Huai Xu Tiandi's spiritual roots are destroyed, but people's spiritual roots are not destroyed, they just can't be used!"

"If a person cultivates the small world within his body, strengthens the spiritual roots within his body, or in other words, strengthens his 'fate', and strengthens this 'root given by heaven', then when the warrior reaches the end of his cultivation and leaves heaven and earth, the spiritual roots and spiritual land they have nurtured will also return to heaven and become the accumulation of the 'spiritual roots' for the regeneration of heaven and earth!"

"Huai Xu Tian Dao is healing itself! When the second [Creation from Nothingness], the second true dragon, appears, Huai Xu Tian Dao will be completely restored!"

But that is too far away, at least not a recent thing. The seven evil calamities in the past dynasties caused great disasters, which may also be the "self-repair process" driven by the way of heaven.

Now, having comprehended the peace of [Root of Heaven and Earth], he no longer needs to think too much and only feels extremely relaxed throughout his body.

With the blessing of destiny, light flickered in his body, penetrating his spine, flesh, internal organs, and even his limbs - even the power of Taibai Haoling's divine prohibition was activated, resonating in turn, blessing An Jing's body, and vaguely outlining the three spiritual roots of 'gold, earth, and wood' in his body.

The spiritual root of the human body’s small world is also the spiritual root of heaven and earth!
[The Jianmu tree has green leaves and purple stems, black flowers and yellow fruits, is a hundred feet tall and has no branches, has nine rumples on the top and nine groves on the bottom, and is the ladder to heaven by which emperors go up and down.] Faintly, with the shining of the 'Golden Spirit Root', An Jing's spine seemed to turn into a giant golden tree.

Its spine is a ladder to heaven, and its ribs and intestines are nine trunks and nine ribs. Countless nerves and meridians extend out from it, a mixture of blue and purple, like branches and leaves, spreading into the flesh and blood, connecting with the fire in the pupils, condensing the spiritual evil around An Jing's body!

[Tanggu Fusang, located in the water, is where the ten suns bathe. Nine suns are below, and one is above.]

Then, the spiritual roots of the earth gathered into a big valley. This valley was flesh and blood, and the water flowing in the valley was blood. The blood ran through the limbs and body and converged at the head.

For a moment, dazzling halos condensed in the corresponding acupoints of An Jing's limbs and body. This was the accumulation of all the spiritual energy in An Jing's body.

The nine suns below represent the limbs and five organs; the one sun above hangs in the sky!

Heaven is the residence of the primordial spirit and the place where divine thoughts are located. It is also the leader of the six yang elements in human beings!

[The immortal sweet wood, if eaten, will give you longevity, and there is also a red spring, if you drink it, you will never get old]

Finally, the spiritual root of the wood penetrated the internal organs. Because An Jing practiced the Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibition, he naturally knew that the five internal organs are actually the lifespan of the human body. If one can cultivate the seven spirits into a human soul and stay away from filth, he can eat wind and drink dew, breathe spiritual evil, and live a long life like a god!

At this moment, there are three colored veins in An Jing's body. One turns into Jianmu, running through the spine and ribs, and many meridians and nerves; one turns into Fusang, concentrating his spirit into the sun, traveling around the "heaven and earth" to complete the circulation of the heavens; one turns into the immortal tree, nourishing the internal organs, and living by eating air!

Spine, limbs, body parts, and internal organs!

The magical power, Root of Heaven and Earth, is so comprehensive. Although its individual effects may be slightly inferior to other magical powers that are specifically for condensing the spine, its effects completely cover all the areas that An Jing needs!
The Jianmu tree turns into a ladder to heaven, winding like a dragon or snake; the Fusang tree condenses essence and energy, and its divine thoughts shine like a golden crow; the Ganmu tree bears fruits of longevity, nourishing the internal organs and refining yin and yang.

During the process of enlightenment, An Jing used the Xuanyuan Pure Light that had previously killed the Wumai Heavenly Demon, and completely cultivated the "Root of Heaven and Earth" in one breath.

——The tendons and bones are like trees supporting the Golden Crow, the skin and membranes are densely weaving a web of flames; the large tendons are entwined like dragons and snakes, the internal organs are baking in a furnace to refine yin and yang!

Even [Cheng Tiande] was cultivated for the most part in this process, and the branches, leaves and roots of the three sacred trees were all transformed by [Cheng Tiande].

Moreover, this [Root of Heaven and Earth] would connect all five supernatural powers of An Jing into one, among which the soul was the sky, the eyes were the sun and the moon, the heart was the center, the spiritual root was the pillar of heaven, and creation was the virtue of heaven!
"I am only one step away from being fully cultivated, but that is only the accumulation of spiritual energy... and my body has already entered the martial vein realm!"

At this point, An Jing's whole body condensed into one. He raised his hand, and the sun in his body shone, making his body seem to be immersed in light.

At this point, it’s not just his physical body that is comparable to his martial veins, An Jing’s physical body is at the martial vein level!
At this point, the burning of the great marshes cannot heat you, the freezing of the Milky Way cannot chill you, the violent thunder that breaks the mountains, the wind that shakes the sea cannot frighten you, your body and substance are solid, and the eight evil plagues cannot harm you. You can live forever in the world for three hundred and sixty years!
