Princess Yunyue had heavenly spiritual roots?
Wang Lu's words caused the dwarf and his ancestor to exclaim in unison.
The three words "heavenly spiritual roots" held great significance in the eyes of immortal cultivators. One had to know that those who possessed Spiritual Roots were one in ten thousand on the continent. Among all the Spiritual Roots, the Heavenly Spiritual Root was one in ten thousand. In many cases, the entire continent had not seen a true heavenly spiritual root for many years.
Although this cultivator who had conquered the Yun Nation was powerful, his aptitude could not have reached the level of heavenly spiritual roots. This was because if a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots encountered a lifelong cultivation bottleneck, they would often be close to the Soul Formation stage or even higher. Just the angry roar of a Soul Formation cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots was something that Wang Lu could not withstand. From the looks of it, this ancestor should be at the Nascent Soul stage. Although he could not defeat him, it was not to the point where he could turn someone into ashes with a single breath.
Simply put, heavenly spiritual roots were extremely valuable to this ancestor. The value of a descendant with heavenly spiritual roots was immeasurable.
While the Old Ancestor was silent, the dwarf shouted, "That's impossible! She is merely the daughter of a usurper, how could she have heavenly spiritual roots … "
Wang Lu laughed. "Why is it impossible? Could it be that you have grasped the pattern of the appearance of heavenly spiritual roots? If you say yes, then yes, and if you say no, then no? "
The dwarf said, "My servant saw her with his own eyes, but he did not see any of the phenomena that a heavenly spiritual root should have!"
Possessors of heavenly spiritual roots often had special abilities from birth. For example, they could clearly see the fluctuations of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Some people could even spontaneously trigger the changes of the five elements, as if they were born with special abilities. However, Princess Yunyue had never had these special abilities.
In reality, it was impossible for Princess Yunyue to have such abilities. Although she had aptitude for cultivation, it was not as strong as a heavenly spiritual root. Every word that Wang Lu had said was pure fiction.
He was carrying out a soul-stirring adventure, a huge gamble. Through the previous conversation, he knew that the dwarf had not seen Yunyue with his own eyes, and the ancestor also did not know the current situation of his descendants. Otherwise, he would not have said that the royal bloodline had already withered.
Since these two did not understand Yunyue's situation, he could act freely.
"Of course Princess Yunyue would not show any abnormalities. For a princess who had lived in seclusion since childhood, innate abilities would not bring her any benefits. Instead, it would arouse suspicion. The ignorance of the mortal world made her afraid of her own power, and she was warned at a young age not to show her difference. She had to close the door tightly and not let anyone see or know. She could not do as she pleased. And after a long period of isolation, she was indeed able to retract all of her anomalies and act like an ordinary person. "
Although the dwarf was full of disbelief when he said this, he did not have any clear and strong evidence to refute it at this moment. The previous action was basically done by his servant, and many things were only known to him. Now that he had been beaten into a pool of pus by Wang Lu, there were many things that could not be testified by the dead.
Wang Lu said, "For cultivators, whether the bloodline is orthodox or not is by no means determined by the rules of the mortal world. "Heavenly spiritual roots are more orthodox than earthly spiritual roots, and earthly spiritual roots are more orthodox than the five elements spiritual roots. This is the rule of cultivators. I believe that to Senior, a young and beautiful descendant with a Heavenly Spiritual Root is far more useful than a useless descendant who can never get rid of his disability, right? "
This was another gamble for Wang Lu. He gambled that the ancestor of Cloud Country was an out-and-out materialist. The so-called familial affection and bloodline were actually worthless to him. Otherwise, why would he, who had just been Resuscitated after sleeping for so many years, have a preference for a deformed dwarf? It was because the dwarf was a cultivator, and a cultivator with a high level of cultivation! But this dwarf's talent was limited. The peak of the King Pill was his limit, and he had no hope of breaking through.
But a cultivator with heavenly spiritual roots was completely different. With the right guidance, the peak of the King Pill was not the end … he could even reach a higher realm than he did in the beginning!
Hearing the words heavenly spiritual roots, the voice fell silent. This made the dwarf very nervous, afraid that he would be abandoned by the ancestor.
But the ancestor was not so easily fooled. "Even so, how can you prove that what you said is true? How can you prove that Yunyue really has heavenly spiritual roots? "
Wang Lu said, "If you don't believe me, you can go to Yunyang City and see for yourself. If I'm lying, just kill me."
After saying that, Wang Lu exhaled lightly and tried his best to calm the pressure in his heart.
This was the last gamble, and also the one with the highest risk. He gambled that this founding ancestor of the Yun Nation had not yet obtained complete freedom. Although he had great power in the royal mausoleum, he could not act as he wished, and it was even more impossible for him to run to Yunyang City to personally witness Yunyue's aptitude.
This was because until now, the ancestor had not personally appeared. He only communicated with Wang Lu and the dwarf through a voice that appeared out of thin air. Even his power was invisible. This was not the reaction of someone who had slept for thousands of years. When a normal person woke up, they should stretch. Could it be that this ancestor had the habit of lazing around in bed?
So Wang Lu gambled that no matter how extravagant his words were, this ancestor would not be able to see for himself whether it was true or false!
In the end, he gambled right again. After a long silence, the voice said, "I give you three days to bring Yunyue to me."
After saying that, a gray liquid flew out of the hole in the ground and pierced straight into Wang Lu's chest. Wang Lu did not block it and allowed the liquid to corrode his body.
"Don't worry, she will be here within three days."

After leaving the royal tomb, Wang Lu let out a long sigh of relief. Three days was the buffer time he had bought for himself with his amazing speaking skills.
The normal way to clear this hidden plot was certainly not like this. Unfortunately, in the first few rounds, he was indeed a bit too hasty. Some of the steps seemed to be slightly overdone, which led to things happening when he was caught off guard. And the sudden appearance of an unfathomable old demon that he simply could not fight against was a fatal mistake. Fortunately, there was still a chance to save it.
The gray liquid in his chest was not a problem. The ancestor might think that the carrion water was a terrifying poison, enough to make any cultivator below King Pill tremble in fear and helpless. However, Wang Lu was very clear that with his current physical ability, he could easily suppress this poisonous liquid, and it would only take him a few days to digest and absorb it. If he returned to Spirit Sword Mountain, he could find any Elder to help him resolve it in an instant.
The problem was that he did not come to this immortal dream land to seek survival. And as a professional, even if he accidentally triggered the hidden plot, which made the difficulty of this round suddenly increased, he still wanted to perfect the clear.
Three days was his buffer period. He believed that he would be able to find a way to clear the trial within these three days.
The founding old demon was definitely not invincible. He must have a fatal weakness. For example, who was the one who built the monolith that suppressed the fate of the country?
At present, the monolith could be said to be the only weakness exposed by the ancestor. Thus, if he wanted to clear the trial, he naturally had to start from there.

Late at night, in the forbidden area of the royal palace, in the thousand-year-old secret chamber of the royal palace, rows of neatly arranged stone and jade bookshelves reflected a faint light in the dim candlelight.
Wang Lu stood among the bookshelves, holding the oldest book and carefully reading it word by word.
"So that's how it is. The founding king of the Cloud Country was indeed extraordinary. His name was Yunkongjun. He was a great cultivator from a famous and upright sect. In his later years, he returned to his hometown and established the Cloud Country in the Savage Land... The record ends here. There is almost nothing about Yunkongjun. This book is really useless."
The book of the King, which was regarded as the most precious treasure by the royal family of the Cloud Country, was thrown aside by Wang Lu as if it was trash. Then Wang Lu picked up another book, read it as fast as he could, and then continued to shake his head.
"In the ancient book that recorded the work of the sacrificial ceremony, even the three words Yunkongjun did not appear... Well, let's start with the construction of the royal tomb."
After failing to find the correct answer in the two books, Wang Lu changed his train of thought and began to investigate the construction of the royal tomb. After all, according to legend, the oldest monolith appeared together with the construction of the royal tomb, so there might be some clues left behind.
However, after reading three or four more books, Wang Lu still did not find any clues. The oldest monolith was like a god descending from the sky. In the ancient book, it appeared without any warning. Later on, the ancient book recorded how magnificent it was and pointed out its role in suppressing the fate of the country, but how did it appear? Who built it? There was no written record left behind.
Reading until here, Wang Lu lost interest in this secret chamber of the royal palace. Obviously, someone deliberately deleted the record of the monolith. And since someone deleted it, Wang Lu believed that the books in this room would certainly not be missing anything.
However, this did not mean that the clues were completely cut off. Even if the book did not record the secret of the fate of the country, Wang Lu believed that the royal family of the Cloud Country would certainly not be ignorant.
Therefore, he directly went to find King Yunyang.
"National Monolith?" King Yunyang, who was lying on the bed, was not angry because of Wang Lu's intrusion late at night, nor did he ask why Wang Lu left without saying goodbye. Now, he completely pinned the hope of his daughter's rescue on Wang Lu, so he would not refuse any request of Wang Lu.
"Regarding the National Monolith, the royal family of the Cloud Country does indeed have a secret … Come with me."
King Yunyang did not hesitate to get up and change his clothes. He led Wang Lu into the study, picked up a seal, pressed the side of the seal, and a jade scroll rolled out.
"This is the biggest secret of the royal family."
Wang Lu smiled and said, "Is it in line with the rules to show me, an outsider?"
King Yunyang said in a deep voice, "Now that the entire Cloud Country is overturning, what rule can be bigger than this country?"
"Well said." Wang Lu said and opened the scroll. With just a glance, his complexion changed.
