I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 284 The Method to Complete the Spiritual Root (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Inside the library on the main peak of the Cangling Sect, Jiang Yi found a quiet corner, laid out a straw mat, and used a leaf to conceal himself, comfortably lying down to study methods for repairing the fire spirit root.

Hua Gu and Hong Li were cultivating in the Two Elements Fall, while Zhen Shan was still building a puppet workshop in Youxian Ferry. Only Duan Jin was released by Jiang Yi and was browsing books about puppetry on the front bookshelves.

Occasionally, Foundation Establishment disciples from other peaks would pass by and glance at Duan Jin in surprise for a moment. However, since this was the main peak, right under the sect leader's nose, those disciples would only look and then leave quietly.

The main peak library is the largest and has the richest collection of books in the entire sect. The Lingbo Mountain Library mainly contains beginner books suitable for Qi Refining cultivators. It has all kinds of books.

The amazing thing is that the manager of the main peak library is a big black dog, not the big yellow dog of the Lingbo Mountain library. It actually recognized her and took the initiative to say that it was not called Senior Dog or Senior Black, and asked Jiang Yi to call it Manager.

There are truly many miraculous things happening within the Cangling Sect.

Getting back to the main point, when Tianxin Ancestor was in the Nascent Soul stage, she researched three methods to complete a cultivator's spiritual roots. She studied these methods in order to complete her own five elements attributes, embark on the path of ancient Qi cultivators, and break through to the Divine Transformation stage.

In today's cultivation world, even if one's spiritual root is incomplete in all five elements, there are still ways to achieve the Divine Transformation stage. This is especially true for cultivators with a single spiritual root, who find it easier to achieve the Divine Transformation stage than those with multiple spiritual roots.

However, a few ancient books record that such a cultivator who has reached the Nascent Soul stage has a much lower chance of advancing further than a cultivator with all five elements, and their overall strength is also much weaker.

Tianxin Ancestor has always been an ambitious person, so what she wants is naturally to become the strongest god.

Each of these three methods has its advantages and disadvantages.

Firstly, the spirit root of the artifact.

Using the art of weapon crafting, one can forge a weapon spirit root by drawing upon other spiritual objects of different attributes. Furthermore, a portion of one's divine soul is then integrated into the weapon spirit root. Through a combination of blood sacrifice and soul sacrifice, the weapon spirit root is made to merge with oneself. This technique can only be used after reaching the Golden Core stage.

The advantage is that the spirit root can grow with itself, with great potential and strong combat power.

The drawback is that the spirit root of the artifact needs to be nourished with essence and blood throughout one's life. Once the spirit root is damaged, the cultivation level will immediately plummet, and the loss of the soul cannot be compensated.

“I’m afraid it would be difficult to find such spiritual treasures, let alone splitting one’s soul. This method is not suitable for me. I have my own fire spiritual root and do not need to forge a weapon spiritual root.”

Secondly, the Five Elements Reverse Generation Method.

Using a cultivator's existing spiritual root as a foundation, a secret method is used to reverse the principle of mutual generation of the five elements, and a 'pseudo-spiritual root' is generated in the dantian. This method requires the collection of five kinds of extreme spiritual objects to construct a five-element cycle and forcibly reverse the attributes of the spiritual root. It can only be performed by cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage.

The advantages are that the new spiritual root is pure and uncontaminated, the process will not breed inner demons, and the risk is low.

The downside is that the quality of one's original spiritual root is limited, and one can never surpass the original root value in one's lifetime. If the five elements in the body become unbalanced later, the spiritual root may dissipate.

"This is like using your strengths to make up for your weaknesses. In the end, you're neither strong nor weak. Whether it's worth it or not depends on your perspective."

Jiang Yi shook her head slightly and continued reading.

Third, stealing the spiritual foundation.

This is a heretical cultivation technique that forcibly seizes the spiritual roots of other cultivators, uses special methods to peel them off and transplant them into one's own dantian, and can be performed by a high-level cultivator for a low-level cultivator.

This method requires extracting the other party's spiritual root and soul together to ensure the activity of the spiritual root, and then forcibly fusing them with the 'Spirit Fusion Array' to make up for the missing spiritual root attributes.

"Wow, that's so cruel."

Jiang Yi frowned and grimaced when she saw the detailed description of the method for extracting soul essence.

This requires the victim to be fully conscious and alive. The soul-locking nail is driven into the skull, and the spirit-extracting blade is used to cut open the dantian, extracting the spiritual root along with part of the soul. The process is extremely painful. The victim will either become a cripple or, in severe cases, have their soul scattered.

"Fortunately, I don't need to extract other people's spiritual roots."

Jiang Yi can omit the preceding part, but the 'Spirit Fusion Array' at the end is very suitable for her current situation.

The stolen spiritual root was placed in the 'Spirit Fusion Array', and the user used their own essence and blood as a guide to gradually refine the repulsive force in the other party's spiritual root and erase its original divine soul imprint. The whole process lasted for forty-nine days.

"My spiritual root is not something I took from someone else, so there is no risk of divine retribution or spiritual root rejection. The only thing I need to be careful about is the pollution of my soul. I need to completely refine the consciousness of that demon in my fire spiritual root."

Jiang Yi nodded slightly, deciding to use this method.

The materials used to set up the Spirit Fusion Array are mostly unorthodox items, unavailable in sects but purchasable on the black market in Golden Chestnut City. The array requires a location where yin transforms into yang, a place where yin and yang can be reversed—that's very difficult to find…”

Jiang Yi continued reading and found that the Heavenly Heart Ancestor had made a note that if such a location for setting up an array could not be found, there were alternative methods, which would vary depending on the attributes of the spiritual roots being integrated.

If you have a fire elemental root, find an extremely yin fire or an extremely yang fire, and create an environment where yin gives rise to yang and yang gives rise to yin.

Jiang Yi pondered for a moment, “Xuan Hui’s Golden Crow True Fire is a kind of extremely yang fire, which can achieve the balance of yin and yang. However, it also needs an extremely yin place to maintain the balance. Otherwise, not to mention whether my small body can withstand its fire, the damage to the surrounding environment would be enormous.”

Another secret realm managed by the Cangling Sect, the Tengshe Forest, is filled with heavy yin energy, making it a good location. "You think you can hide here and I won't find you?!"

Xuan Hui's voice suddenly came, and Jiang Yi opened her eyes to see Xuan Hui, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, standing with his hands on his hips next to the bookshelf.

His white robes fluttered without wind, and the clouds surrounding him were more solid than before, faintly glowing with a pale golden light.

Flames seemed to dance within his golden pupils, and his Nascent Soul stage aura was contained yet subtly oppressive, making the surrounding air thicken.

He saw through Jiang Yi's deception at a glance; Jiang Yi had nowhere to hide in his eyes.

Jiang Yi put aside her misunderstanding, stood up slowly and respectfully greeted him.

"Congratulations on your promotion to Demon Lord, Master Demon! I wonder when you returned? I have been studying here and have not been able to greet you in person. Please forgive me."

"Bullshit!" Xuan Hui roared. "Don't think I didn't see you turn and run away from the foot of Liuyue Peak. Tell me, did you dig up the spiritual herbs on Liuyue Peak? You even dug up the ones that weren't fully grown. Are you desperate for money?"

If it weren't for the difference between men and women, Xuan Hui would have grabbed Jiang Yi by the neck and shaken her violently right now; heaven knows how wronged he felt.

In order to gain the Venerable One's favor, he suppressed his fear and bravely resisted the Heavenly Tribulation to form his Nascent Soul, hoping that the Venerable One, who was protecting him outside, would see his efforts.

When he came out after the birth of his child, he found only a bald-headed Huiyuan fishing at sea!
The Venerable One, who promised to stay by his side at all times to protect him, actually ran away on the very first day he entered the formation.

Liars! They are all liars!
Then he rushed back, only to find that not only did he not see the Venerable One, but he also discovered that all the spiritual herbs he had painstakingly planted had been uprooted, leaving not a single blade of grass behind!

That brat turned and ran as soon as she entered the protective array. Who stole his spiritual medicine? Heh, it's hard to guess.

Zhao Cangyun also said that there were no medicinal herbs on the mountain, and he had never seen any.

What a bunch of bastards!
"My Lord Demon Lord, I was wrong. I will accept whatever punishment you deem appropriate."

Jiang Yi lowered her head and bowed deeply, refusing to rise. Duan Jin received Jiang Yi's telepathic message and only watched from a distance, without approaching.

Jiang Yi's respectful admission of her mistake left Xuan Hui speechless. He had already decided that if this brat dared to argue again and try to fool him with fallacies and heresies, he would not fall for it and would definitely have a debate with her. He had even rehearsed the debate in his mind several times on the way here.

After achieving Nascent Soul, he was no longer the dull-witted man he once was!

At this moment, Xuan Hui's ears twitched, and he turned his head to find several disciples from other peaks secretly watching from a distance, their eyes filled with...

This is clearly saying that Xuan Hui bullied Danxi Zhenjun's disciple as soon as he formed his Nascent Soul, proving that the rumors about him being jealous were true.

In fact, the other party did not say anything, but Xuanhui imagined a whole bunch of things.

Xuan Hui's brow furrowed, and he was caught in a dilemma when Chi Songzi, with white hair and a youthful face, carrying a whisk, suddenly walked over from a distance.

"I saw the Demon Lord enter the library from afar, and I didn't expect you to actually be here. This junior congratulates the Demon Lord on your successful Nascent Soul formation."

Chisongzi and Xuanhui had always had a very good relationship, like friends despite their age difference, so he naturally wanted to meet them when he saw them.

Xuan Hui nodded casually, and Chi Songzi, seeing Jiang Yi behind Xuan Hui, couldn't help but sigh.

"Back then, I thought you looked a lot like that Senior Fengying. I really didn't expect that you really were her. My apologies."

Chisongzi cupped his hands in greeting, and Jiang Yi quickly returned the greeting with a smile, "Senior brother, you're too kind. I'm just glad you don't blame me for intentionally concealing it."

"It's nothing to worry about."

Jiang Yi and Chi Songzi's conversation left Xuan Hui completely bewildered. He stared wide-eyed and stammered, "You...you said she is...who is she?"

Chisongzi stroked his beard and laughed, "Your Majesty the Demon Lord probably doesn't know yet, but she is actually Jiang Fengying. True Lord Danxi and the leader of the Immortal Alliance have already issued a statement explaining this matter."

a bolt from the blue!

Xuan Hui suddenly turned his head and stared at Jiang Yi, who grinned.

All those memories flashed through Xuan Hui's mind...

Do not--

Your Majesty, how could you lie to me with her?
Xuan Hui used to feel sorry for Jiang Yi, but it turns out that the one who is truly pitiful is him, and it has always been him!

It was him who let the wolf into the house!
Xuan Hui's world has collapsed!
