Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

"What? Five spiritual roots? Could this person be a scion of a top-tier aristocratic family?"

Only these top families and the ten major sects have the ability to cultivate talents with five spiritual roots.

Even if ordinary small sects exert all their efforts, they may not be able to help someone establish a foundation of five spiritual roots.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Jiang Shi's breakthrough was very simple, involving only five spiritual techniques and some pills.

That's because he has a destiny that says, "Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable."

His breakthroughs have no bottlenecks.

For other cultivators with the five elemental roots, breaking through to the mid-stage of Qi Refining would likely be a major hurdle.

Some powerful cultivators who were close to Jiang Shi and ready to ambush him at any moment began to quietly retreat.

Before confirming Jiang Shi's identity, these people dared not make any further moves.

If you offend a scion of a major sect or a top-tier family, it could be a catastrophe.

While everyone was speculating about Jiang Shi's identity.

The five Foundation Establishment stage cultivators began to use their respective methods to deal with Jiang Shi's barrage of sand and stones.

These stones and gravel are of average power and pose no threat to a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Even with Jiang Shi's profound magical power and the added blessing of the Five Elements, it still wouldn't work.

He lacked advanced earth-based magic and his technique for using the Qingyue Spear was very rudimentary.

Of course, Jiang Shi wouldn't rely solely on this one high-grade magic weapon.

He had his own methods for dealing with powerful water-based cultivators.

"Yi Mu Xuan Qing Finger"

This technique is related to the wood element, and the five elements generate each other [water generates wood].

This place is above a pool of water, and the opponent is a great cultivator of the water element. He uses wood element magic, so he naturally has the upper hand.

"This person has many tricks up his sleeve, we must be on guard! Second brother, third brother, quickly break through this sandstorm!" the leader said.

"Yes, brother."

"Yes, brother."

The two senior monks responded.

One of the great cultivators stretched out his hand, and a small emerald-green sword floated out.

Another high-ranking cultivator now wielded a dark blue broadsword.

The two men, one wielding a sword and the other a knife, attacked simultaneously, stirring up the pool below and sending waves surging upwards.

It collided with sand and gravel.

With their combined strength, they swept the sand and gravel into the waves.

For the time being, these sand and gravel could not be washed away.

However, Jiang Shi had already arrived, and these sand and gravel attacks were merely a feint.

Countless vines spread toward them.

And secretly, the winding thread has already been activated.

This place is situated above a pool of water, where the water's spiritual energy is extremely abundant. He is well-versed in the true meaning of the Five Elements' mutual generation [Water generates Wood].

This makes using the wood-raising technique even more effective.

The Wood Qi within the liver easily draws upon a large amount of Water Qi, transforming it into Wood-type spiritual power and enhancing its strength.

Among the five, one of the great cultivators was caught off guard and his body was entangled in green silk threads.

"What is this?!" he exclaimed in surprise.

"Fifth Brother!"

The others quickly looked over and discovered that their fifth brother's body was bound by green silk threads.

The powerful cultivator's magical power was being broken down and devoured by the binding threads, leaving him completely unable to move.

"Big brother, second brother! Help me!" he cried out for help.

Upon seeing this, the second-ranked cultivator quickly reacted, raising his small emerald sword and unleashing a water-elemental sword aura that shot towards them.

These sword energies were incredibly sharp, and under his control, they severed all the binding threads.

However, the powerful cultivator who was trapped by the silk threads was also cut by the sword energy, and his body was covered in blood.

Just then, Jiang Shi arrived silently. He rushed straight at a powerful cultivator and launched an attack with strands of silk threads.

"Watch out!" The leader was the first to react. With a flick of his hand, the superior-grade magic artifact, the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, emitted a dazzling light and hurtled towards Jiang Shi.

"Bang!" Jiang Shi roared angrily!

A beam of golden light shot out from its mouth and collided with the water-stabilizing pearl.

It made a huge noise!

The water-stabilizing pearl was sent flying by this attack.

This golden light came from the Geng metal true qi in Jiang Shi's lungs.

Jiang Shi called it "Gengjin Divine Light".

However, the "Gold-Chewing Technique" is not yet fully developed, and this technique is not yet perfected.

Even so, its power is still extraordinary.

As he struck the Water-Stabilizing Pearl back, a cold glint flashed in Jiang Shi's eyes. He raised his hand and pointed a finger at the great cultivator he had immobilized with the Entangling Silk Thread.

A beam of azure light shot out; this azure light was none other than the Divine Light of Wood!

"Help me!!!" The great cultivator sensed a life-or-death crisis and desperately circulated his magical power, trying to cast a spell.

But the more he channeled his magic, the more threads of silk appeared, binding him tighter.

"Fourth brother!"

"Fourth brother!"

The second and third brothers cried out in alarm and immediately attacked Jiang Shi.

The emerald green flying sword and the dark blue broadsword crashed down on Jiang Shi, creating a surge of energy.

Jiang Shi was thrown backward by the enormous impact and was smashed into the pool of water.

However, their fourth brother was already dead after being struck by the divine light of the Yi Wood.

Five Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were eliminated in just three rounds, with one dying and another seriously injured.

All the great cultivators present who witnessed this scene were dumbfounded.

"Damn it! Press the attack! Avenge our fourth brother!" The leading cultivator roared, summoning back the Water-Stabilizing Pearl. He shone it on the pool, and a beam of light shot out, causing the water to come alive and begin to boil.

"He's been hit twice and must be seriously injured. We mustn't give him any medicine to help him recover!"

The attack from a sword and a dagger, two high-grade magic weapons, would indeed severely injure or even kill an ordinary person who had not mastered the Earth-grade body-refining technique.

This is common knowledge in the world of cultivation.

But no one expected that Jiang Shi was completely unharmed.

He had already summoned three demonic wolves to lurk beneath the pool.

The attack he just made was transferred to the demonic puppet using the secret technique "Puppet Kill".

Jiang Shi was thrown into the pool, and casually took out the top-grade magic artifact, the jade gourd Ruoshui.

At this moment, the pool, controlled by the water-fixing pearl, began to boil.

The superior-grade magic weapon in Jiang Shi's hand was just an ordinary magic weapon, and it could not be compared with this superior-grade spiritual weapon.

We cannot compete with them.

His body was enveloped by the water flow controlled by these fixed water droplets, and he moved upwards.

If Jiang Shi were to activate his magic power at this moment, the strength of his magic power would be enough to break through the water that was trapping him.

However, Jiang Shi did not do that; he went with the flow and pretended to be trapped.

Jiang Shi was brought to the surface, where two Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were already waiting.

One person held a knife, and the other held a sword.

He stared intently at Jiang Shi, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Upon seeing Jiang Shi appear, the two immediately attacked.

The blade's energy surged like waves, the sword's energy roared like a torrent.

The confluence of waves creates extraordinary power!

"Good timing!" Jiang Shi stepped onto the water, and the lotus flower lifted him up as he moved away.

Facing the surging waves of swords and blades, Jiang Shi went against the current, holding the top-grade magic weapon Jade Gourd Ruoshui in his left hand and the top-grade magic weapon Qingyue Spear in his right.

"He's not injured at all!" Everyone present was shocked!
