Chapter 41: Celestial Spirit Root, Breakthrough to the Spiritual Transformation Realm
Under the night sky, Gu An traveled quickly through the forest. He was heading in the opposite direction from where he had killed Lin Futian. This time, he was going to break through a hundred miles away.
In the past month, he had observed that there were no Law Enforcement Hall disciples patrolling late at night.
Along the way, lines of notifications suddenly appeared before Gu An's eyes.
[You have successfully obtained a Bitterroot Grass (Rank 3) with 6 years of lifespan.]
[You have successfully obtained 7 years of lifespan from the Bitter Root Grass (Rank 3)]
[Your lifespan has exceeded 100,000 years for the first time. The lifespan deduction function has been activated.]
[Lifespan Deduction: Consumes lifespan to deduce the karma and fate of the Great Dao. The lifespan consumed is determined according to the karma deduced.]
Lifespan deduction?
Gu An could not help but frown. He immediately smelled the scent of a conspiracy.
He was trying to cheat him of his lifespan!
Would his lifespan be squeezed dry in an instant?
Gu An decided to give it a try first. When the new function appeared, he would understand and know how to use it.
The so-called deduction was actually using lifespan to ask questions.
Gu An silently asked in his heart, "Using the lifespan deduction, does Jiang Qiong want to kill me now?"
About two breaths of time passed.
[300 years of lifespan required. Deduct?]
No!
It was too expensive!
Gu An directly refused, but after such a test, he felt much more at ease.
At the very least, the lifespan deduction would tell him in advance how much lifespan he would need to consume. This way, he would be able to prevent his lifespan from being sucked dry.
Gu An stopped probing and focused on his journey.
He tried not to use this function as much as possible. For the time being, he felt that it was not worth consuming his lifespan to explore the unknown.
Along the way, Gu An was extremely cautious and spread out his spirit consciousness to avoid bumping into any more Nascent Soul cultivators.
The night was silent.
Although they didn't see any demonic beasts along the way, they could see traces of wild beasts. Most of them were herbivores, with wild rabbits and rats in the majority.
When he was about 50 miles away from the Profound Valley, Gu An suddenly saw the white spirit mouse.
In the forest, this fellow was pestering a rabbit. It followed behind the rabbit's butt and jumped with it. From time to time, it would sniff forward.
It was like a big dog chasing after a rabbit.
So petty …
Gu An pretended not to see it and left quietly without alerting the white spirit mouse.
"No wonder this fellow always runs outside and moves like a rabbit …"
Gu An recalled the scene he had just witnessed and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The White Spirit Mouse had been raised wrongly. Fortunately, he still had Hao Long.
Thinking of Haolong's handsome figure, Gu An's mood improved.
After half an incense stick's worth of time, Gu An arrived at a dense forest. The leaves were so dense that even if someone were to fly above him, they would not be able to see him.
Gu An sat cross-legged under a big tree. He took a deep breath and called out his attribute panel.
He looked at his 10,003 years of lifespan with a look of anticipation.
With a lifespan of 100,000 years, he could definitely be considered rich. This time, he could properly raise his various attributes.
He decided to upgrade his Spirit Root first. He could invest more. After all, it was the hardest thing to upgrade.
How many years should he invest?
Gu An hesitated for a moment and decided to be more generous. Ten thousand years!
[You have invested 10,000 years of your life into your spiritual root for evolutionary cultivation.]
[You have been comprehending nature for 100 years. The perception of your Five Elements Spiritual Root has improved.]
[You have been comprehending nature for 200 years. The perception of your Five Elements Spiritual Root has improved.]…
[You've been comprehending the nature of Heaven and Earth for 2,000 years, and you've finally captured a trace of the true meaning of Heaven and Earth. Your Spirit Root has been baptized by Heaven and Earth, and your Five-Element Spirit Root aptitude has begun to transform. All of your Five-Element Spirit Root aptitudes have transformed into first-class mortal aptitudes. Among them, your Wood and Earth Spirit Roots are more outstanding.]
…
[You have been comprehending nature for 4,000 years. The perception of your Five Elements Spiritual Root has improved.]
[You have been comprehending nature for 5,000 years. You have sensed the profound meaning of the Five Elements. Heaven and Earth have resonated. Your Spirit Root has undergone a qualitative change. Your Five Elements Spiritual Root has transformed into a Five Elements Celestial Spirit Root.]…
[You have been comprehending nature for 8,000 years. You have finally grasped a trace of the Wood Spirit Law of Heaven and Earth. Your Wood Element Spiritual Root has undergone a transformation. It has transformed into a supreme-grade Wood Element Celestial Spirit Root.]
[You have been comprehending nature for 10,000 years. Your Five Elements Spiritual Root has improved.]
Rows of notifications popped up crazily. There were dozens of notifications. Gu An did not dare to blink.
When the last notification popped up, he immediately activated the Lifespan Barrier.
In an instant, the grass under his feet glowed eerily. Even the trees behind him emitted bits of green light. The area within the barrier was instantly illuminated.
Five Elements Celestial Spirit Root!
Gu An was instantly excited.
The Celestial Spirit Root was the strongest Spirit Root that he had heard of. Even Ji Xiaoyu from the Ji family could not compare.
The Celestial Spirit Root was usually a single element. However, the cultivation speed of this single element was incomparable to that of a double Spirit Root. It could even be said that the difference was like heaven and earth.
According to Li Ya, the Celestial Spirit Root was the darling of Heaven and Earth. It could only be born with great luck. Otherwise, it could only be born after generations of hard work by a family with thousands of years of history.
Currently, there was only one Celestial Spirit Root cultivator in the Tai Cang Dynasty. He was in the Supreme Mystery Sect. Li Ya did not say who it was.
Gu An suspected that Li Xuandao also had a Celestial Spirit Root, but he hid it very well.
Just as Gu An was thinking, the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth began to flow into his body. It made him feel itchy all over. At the same time, there was an indescribable sense of comfort.
Let's spend another 10,000 years!
With so much life left, Gu An suddenly felt that 10,000 years was nothing.
Thus, he invested another 10,000 years of life into his Spirit Root. Rows of notifications appeared before his eyes.
Spirit Root Perception has improved!
Spirit Root Perception has improved!
Gu An looked at the exact same notifications and his Dao heart began to tremble.
Something was wrong!
Oh no!
Oh no!
Until 5,000 years later, his Earth Spirit Root transformed into a supreme-grade Celestial Spirit Root.
For the next 5,000 years, it was all about the improvement of the Spirit Root's perception. It was like a bottomless pit, continuing until the end.
Gu An's heart was bleeding.
He cultivated the Divine Wood Pure Yang Technique, and it was enough to rely on his Wood Spirit Root. In other words, the 10,000 years of investment would not increase his cultivation speed again.
Spirit Roots were destined at birth. In reality, there was no cultivation method to improve one's Spirit Root. It was already incredible that he could go from a normal Penta Spirit Root to a Five Elements Celestial Spirit Root.
No!
One more time!
He could not let these 10,000 years of life go to waste!
Gu An gritted his teeth and invested another 10,000 years of life.
Another notification quickly popped up. Gu An's face had already darkened.
After 10,000 years, his Fire Spirit Root transformed into a supreme-grade Celestial Spirit Root.
It couldn't be that only one Spirit Root could be upgraded every 10,000 years, right?
Gu An invested another 10,000 years of life into his Spirit Root. The Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth that flowed into his body increased. Now, there were more gray and red light spots around him.
After dozens of notifications, Gu An's Water Spirit Root transformed into a supreme-grade Celestial Spirit Root.
Would there be a qualitative change after gathering the Five Elements?
Gu An invested another 10,000 years of life.
Finally, his Metal Spirit Root also transformed into a supreme-grade Celestial Spirit Root. In his attribute panel, the Spirit Roots column changed to supreme-grade Five Elements Celestial Spirit Root.
Gu An looked at his own lifespan, and his eyes became dull.
50,000 years of lifespan was gone just like that …After reaching the top, Gu An felt an unprecedented emptiness in his heart.
The Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth crazily flowed into his body. His body entered a strange state. It was both itchy and warm, but he did not feel any discomfort.
Countless light spots floated around him. Fire was red, wood was green, water was blue, gold was yellow, and earth was gray. It was like a galaxy, dazzling and eye-catching.
Gu An was in a daze, and his thoughts were in a mess.
Time passed quickly.
Two hours later, Gu An completed the transformation of his Spirit Root. He felt that the whole world had become brand-new. This sudden perception impact made him feel refreshed.
This feeling was too wonderful!
He suddenly felt that the 50,000 years of life invested was not a loss.
A supreme-grade Five Elements Celestial Spirit Root was enough to dominate the Tai Cang Empire. As for the whole human world, it was hard to say. After all, he still did not know how big this world was.
Gu An took a deep breath and looked at the cultivation technique in his attribute panel.
Should he spend money on cultivation techniques?
He was afraid that after the cultivation technique was upgraded to a certain stage, the investment would be higher than expected. Moreover, he already had a supreme-grade Five Elements Celestial Spirit Root, and his Divine Wood Pure Yang Art was not bad. If he kept building the foundation, how long would it take?
Tomorrow, a Spiritual Transformation Realm fiendish cultivator might jump out to ambush him!
Directly start on cultivation!
A brand-new Spirit Root, don't let me down!
Let's start with 10,000 years. Cultivation is the most important thing, and it is worth a large investment!
Start investing!
[You have invested 10,000 years of lifespan in cultivation.]
[You have absorbed Qi and cultivated for 10 years. You have used your Divine Wood Pure Yang Art to forcefully break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm. You have not survived the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, so you have failed.]
You have absorbed Qi and cultivated for 100 years. You have used your Divine Wood Pure Yang Art to forcefully break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm. You have not survived the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, so you have failed.]...
Looking at the continuous notifications of failing the tribulation, Gu An's expression was calm.
He could accept the tribulation once every 100 years.
He did not believe that he could fail 100 times!
Fortunately, the situation was not as bad as he thought.
[You have absorbed Qi and cultivated for 2,700 years. You have used your Divine Wood Pure Yang Art to forcefully break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm. You survived the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation, so you have successfully broken through to the first level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.]
[You have absorbed Qi and cultivated for 3,000 years. Your cultivation has broken through to the second level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.]
[You have absorbed Qi and cultivated for 3,200 years. Your cultivation has broken through to the third level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.]
[You have absorbed Qi and cultivated for 3,400 years. Your cultivation has broken through to the fourth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.]
[You have absorbed Qi and cultivated for 3,700 years. Your cultivation has broken through to the fifth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.]...
[You have absorbed Qi and cultivated for 5,000 years. Your cultivation has broken through to the ninth level of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.]
[You have absorbed Qi and cultivated for 5,200 years. You have used your Divine Wood Pure Yang Art to forcefully break through to the Void Realm. You have not survived the Heavenly Tribulation, so you have failed.]
[You have absorbed Qi and cultivated for 6,400 years. You have used your Divine Wood Pure Yang Art to forcefully break through to the Void Realm. You have not survived the Heavenly Tribulation, so you have failed.]...
Alright, I have failed again!
Gu An could accept the fact that he had to undergo a tribulation every 200 years.
At the same time, he was thinking about a problem. It seemed that one's Spirit Root aptitude could not determine the success rate of the tribulation.
Could it be that one's own strength was the key to the tribulation?
Dharma spells, magical powers, formations, secret techniques, Dharma artifacts, and so on...
[You have absorbed Qi and cultivated for 9,600 years. You have used your Divine Wood Pure Yang Art to forcefully break through to the Void Realm. You have not survived the Heavenly Tribulation, so you have failed.]
[You have absorbed Qi and cultivated for 9,800 years. You have used your Divine Wood Pure Yang Art to forcefully break through to the Void Realm. You survived the Heavenly Tribulation, so you succeeded. Your cultivation has broken through to the first level of the Void Realm.]
[You have absorbed Qi and cultivated for 10,000 years. Your cultivation has increased.]
Gu An brought up his attribute panel. He had nearly 40,000 years of lifespan left. This made him smile involuntarily.
