C5 The ninth level of the spirit realm (1/2)
”Young Master, did small bamboo say something wrong?” Seeing Xiao Changsheng's sudden change in tone, the small bamboo felt a lingering fear in his heart as he quietly asked.
”No, you can leave first. I need some rest. I'll call you if anything happens.” Xiao Changsheng replied.
”Alright, small bamboo will be leaving then. She is just outside the door, if Young Master needs anything, you can call me.”
”Yes.”
Xiao Changsheng nodded. Seeing that, the small bamboo no longer hesitated, and closed the door after he left. He then squatted by the side of the door, thinking about something.
”Pfft!”
Seeing that small bamboo had left, Xiao Changsheng's face immediately changed, and he immediately spurted out a mouthful of fresh blood.
”As expected, my current cultivation level is still too low.” Xiao Changsheng frowned, he had forcefully received the second clan elder's palm. Although on the surface he only spat out a mouthful of blood, but in reality, the palm's inner force had already shattered his internal organs, and had endured all the way until now.
His current realm wasn't even at the ninth level of the Mortal Spirit Realm, let alone breaking through to the earth spirit realm level.
Swallowing the blood of four spirit realm practitioners was only enough to raise his level to the sixth level of the spirit realm. To reach earth spirit realm, he would need to at least devour the blood and Qi of several hundred experts of the Mortal Spirit Realm, or perhaps only a few earth spirit realm experts would be able to do so.
However, in front of so many people from the Xiao family, he had to display sufficient strength and talent to be able to intimidate those from the Xiao family. The minimum requirement was to reach earth spirit realm. Fortunately, he had succeeded, successfully surviving until he returned to his room.
If it were not for the fact that he was severely injured and had to rely on his true qi to persevere, he would have more than ten thousand reasons to kill the Second Elder just because of the fact that the Second Elder had attacked him.
Of course, letting the Second Elder go was only to let him live a few more days. How could a mere mortal provoke the dignity of a Martial Emperor?
”Possessing an exceptional divine body that is rarely seen, yet being born in such a low plane, no wonder you are called trash.” After recovering a bit of his Profound Spirit Qi, Xiao Changsheng muttered to himself, feeling some pity for the original Xiao Changsheng.
Unfortunately, the stronger the physique, the harder it was to awaken the spirit root. It was just like how the cup that could only hold one cup of water suddenly became a huge vat, filling the cup with water was easier, but then it became extremely difficult.
Ordinary people might only need to swallow a cup of water to awaken the spirit root, but the Spiritual Qi that the Chaos Immortal Body required to awaken were thousands to tens of thousands of times more than this, and this was only at the initial stage.
This was also why although Xiao Changsheng had worked hard to cultivate and swallow the Spiritual Qi all these years, he had not been able to activate the spirit root. Fortunately, in the past ten odd years, although Xiao Changsheng had always carried the notoriety of being a trash, he had never given up on cultivating.
That was why he had directly broken through to the sixth level of the Mortal Spirit Realm after devouring the blood of four Mortal Spirit Realm practitioners.
”So what if it is a Chaos Immortal Body, so what if it is a lower plane? In front of this young master, even dragons can't stand up to it. Chaos Immortal Body, break! ” Xiao Changsheng bellowed, he sat cross legged and both of his hands formed a spirit seal.
Rumble rumble rumble!
In that moment, thunderous roars sounded out from within his body. As the divine lightning struck down, a golden-colored spirit root slowly appeared within his body. Compared to ordinary spirit root, this spirit root seemed to be several times more crude and undisciplined.
Only after a cultivator awakened their spirit root, would they be able to transform the swallowed Spiritual Qi into spirit energy for cultivation. The number of spirit root, would it determine a person's cultivation speed and aptitude.
As an extremely rare Chaos Immortal Body, it was naturally impossible for there to only be one. What Xiao Changsheng needed to do now was to activate a few more spirit root, and as long as he could activate a few more, his injuries would naturally heal. Not only that, his strength would rise dramatically once again because of this.
The moment this golden spirit root appeared, a small pile of spirit stones suddenly appeared around Xiao Changsheng.
As the Young Patriarch of the Xiao Family, even though Xiao Changsheng was unable to cultivate back then, he did not lose a single bit of resources. In these sixteen years, he had slowly saved up over a thousand spirit stones.
Spirit stones were considered a currency in the Sky Profound Realm and even in the Heavenly God Realm. It was for no other reason but because the spirit stones contained a plentiful amount of Spiritual Qi that cultivators could absorb and cultivate.
