Chapter 1835: Spiritual Root Acquired
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Mengyao Xu and the others all hurried over and surrounded Qingfeng with worry on their faces.
Mengyao blinked with her delicate lashes, as she placed her hands on Qingfeng’s wrist, and transferred her vital essence over to him to help him recover.
With Mengyao’s help, Qingfeng shortly recovered his vital essence.
Qingfeng stood up and wiped the cold sweat off his head as he said, “That was terrifying, luckily the lightning of the Thunder Pearl scared away the headless demonic corpse, or else I wouldn’t know what to do.”
Everyone else around nodded with empathy. When the headless demonic corpse attacked, everyone thought they were doomed; even the Sky Wolf Emperor thought he would die.
Even with his ability, he was defenseless before the headless demonic corpse. The devilish energy filled the sky, as if it was the end of the world, and this imagery was still stuck with him.
They even had a feeling that this headless demonic corpse must have been one of the Sun Monarch’s major generals several thousand years ago. He had incredibly powers, so he had to have a great background.
However after over a few thousands of years have pa.s.sed, he lost his head and his sanity. He started to train in devilish techniques and sucked human self-cultivator blood to elongate his own life.
Qingfeng said, “Let’s leave now, or else the headless demonic corpse will attack again if he recovers his vital essence. By then, we won’t be able to beat him.”
Qingfeng led the way, as Mengyao, Ya Yun, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the Sky Wolf Emperor all followed behind.
Their powers and combat abilities weren’t as powerful as Qingfeng’s, so naturally Qingfeng led. Plus, they knew that they could only survive under Qingfeng’s protection.
Even the top dog in the realm, Black Puppy, started to admire Qingfeng, because Qingfeng held many rare treasures, and each was invincible.
After Qingfeng and the others walked a thousand meters or so, he said to Black Puppy, “Use your nose to smell out the spiritual root. We have to catch it.”
Black Puppy nodded, as it raised its nose to smell around.
Shortly after, joy filled its eyes, as Black Puppy pointed its right dog paws to the south and said, “There is a small river, and the spiritual root is hiding underneath it.”
Qingfeng’s eyes filled with joy, as he looked at Black Puppy with praise. He knew that he had made a good choice to bring Black Puppy along with him.
This dog nose was incredibly sensitive; as long as it smelled something once, it could find it anywhere within a ma.s.sive radius.
Qingfeng and others all ran like crazy a hundred miles south. Shortly after, they arrived at a small river.
This small river wasn’t very big, being roughly ten feet wide, but of incredible length, as it dropped down from a high peak and continued without an end.
Qingfeng looked over and saw no end. There were different kinds of rocks inside the river, as some even piled on the side of the river.
There were various kinds of different demonic beasts, and they were all water demonic beasts. After they saw Qingfeng, they released ferocious light, as they wanted to drag him into the river.
Qingfeng’s eyes filled with coldness as he took out his Sky Breaking Halberd, charged forward, and killed a demonic crocodile. All the demonic beasts ran away when they saw how brutal Qingfeng was.
Black Puppy raised its dog paws as it said to Qingfeng, “Right underneath that rock is where the spiritual root is hiding, don’t let it get away.”
As soon as Black Puppy spoke, the spiritual root jumped out from the rock underneath the river.
The spiritual root stared at Black Puppy fiercely, as it turned to run. It activated its intelligence, and spirituality, and heard Black Puppy.
It knew this was no normal dog, with no average background. The dog had some ancient super power, or else it wouldn’t have been able to find it.
The spiritual root was incredibly hidden, such that not even the three third level spirit monarch realm masters, Meng Li, the Sky Array Emperor, and the Spirit Talisman Emperor, could find it.
Qingfeng’s eyes filled with anger, as he said, “Do you think you could get away?”
[Gravity Realm, two thousand times gravity technique]
Qingfeng directly released his Gravity Realm, as everything within several thousand feet was forced down with two thousand times the strength of gravity. The spiritual root was pinned onto the rock and was kept from moving.
Fear and shock filled the spiritual root’s eyes, as it looked at Qingfeng with disbelieve. How could this human be so powerful? He even learned the powerful imperial grade Gravity Technique.
Qingfeng heavily stomped onto the ground and soared into the air. He immediately appeared before the spiritual root, and held the root in his right hand. Then he channeled his vital essence to trap the spiritual root and kept it from running.
The spiritual root said human words, “Don’t kill me, don’t absorb me. I don’t want to die.”
Qingfeng was shocked when he heard its voice; it sounded like a human, but it was only a spiritual root that was born from ten thousand imperial grade spiritual stones, as it gained intelligence.
Qingfeng shook his head and said, “Sorry, I must absorb you to increase my power.”
Just then, Dark Night Emperor’s voice rang inside Qingfeng’s mind, and said, “Little brat, you don’t have to absorb this spiritual root. It has already gained spirituality, so you only have to absorb parts of its, and leave the rest. It could regrow those parts again once it has absorbed enough energy from nature.”
Qingfeng’s eyes filled with joy when he heard the Dark Night Emperor. This meant that, the spiritual root before him was a priceless gem and could be harvested over and over.
He only needed to leave the spiritual root with a seed, so that it could absorb the spirit from the heaven and earth, and not long after, it would be able to grow new spiritual stones or roots.
That way, Qingfeng would have a continuous spiritual stones and roots source by his side, and his training would be able to increase and reach new level like crazy.
Qingfeng said to the Emperor, “Thank you, Senior, I’ll share a third of the spiritual root with you.”
Dark Night Emperor looked at Qingfeng with satisfaction, as he turned silent without another word.
