At noon the next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Wang Lu had reappeared at the edge of the royal tomb.
And this time, he was no longer alone. Behind him was the most powerful person in the Cloud Country, King Yunyang. And behind King Yunyang was a luxurious and spacious carriage. The carriage was pulled by an invisible force, moving steadily. Inside the huge carriage, there was a soft bed. The extremely weak Princess Yunyue was lying on the soft bed with her eyes closed, seemingly asleep but not asleep.
The group of three stopped at the edge of the royal tomb. Wang Lu walked in the front. His Non-Phase Sword Defense had already spread out several miles away from the royal tomb, sheltering the father and daughter behind him. However, until they actually set foot on the royal tomb, they did not encounter the expected obstruction.
Wang Lu thought for a moment. He didn't think that in just two days, Yunkongjun had become so weak that he could not be seen. Perhaps it was the opposite. In these two days, he had gained the time to breathe, completely came out from the weak period of a thousand years of sleep, and became more powerful than before, so powerful that he could not perceive it.
Just now when he Resuscitated Yunkongjun, although his power was already very terrifying, he had not really reached the peak Yuanying Stage. Although he had already made Wang Lu completely unable to contend against him, if Wang Lu used all of his power and caught him off guard, he could at least break free for a short time, go to a place where Yunkongjun's power could not reach, and thus save his life.
For a peak Xudan Stage cultivator to be able to do this in front of a peak Yuanying Stage cultivator was already very commendable. However, the binding force of the monolith on Yunkongjun was getting weaker and weaker. If Wang Lu approached this place again, he would be risking his life. Although he still had a life-saving card, the risk had undoubtedly increased a lot.
Wang Lu did not like gambling so much, because for cultivators, in the long process of cultivation, if every victory was pinned on gambling, it was undoubtedly a road to death. However, if one was not willing to take even a little risk, then one should not talk about immortal cultivation. Immortal cultivation was originally a heaven-defying act, there was absolutely no absolutely safe way to ascend.
But now, Wang Lu weighed the pros and cons again and again. Compared to his possible gains, the risk he had to bear was completely within a reasonable range. So, he was resolute.
Not long after entering the royal tomb, although Wang Lu did not sense any threat, he had already focused all of his attention. Whether or not he could resist Yunkongjun was one thing, and whether or not he had the will to resist was another. After taking a few steps, Yunkongjun's voice rang in Wang Lu's ears.
"You really did as you said, but what are these two ants that you brought? A king who has lost his virtue, and a mortal who is about to die. Where is your so-called princess with heavenly spiritual roots? "
Yunkongjun's voice contained a hint of ridicule. Clearly, he had already recognized that Princess Yunyue was the Heavenly Spiritual Root princess that Wang Lu had mentioned. But at the same time, Princess Yunyue's true aptitude could not be hidden from him.
If Yunkongjun was not interested in Wang Lu, a mere peak Xudan Stage cultivator who was able to fight against a peak King Pill corpse controller, he would have made Wang Lu pay the price for his nonsense the moment he discovered Princess Yunyue. But now, he needed a reasonable explanation.
"The king who has lost his virtue is just a prop today. As for the princess with heavenly spiritual roots, she is in the carriage, my respected senior." Wang Lu indifferently smiled.
"What a joke, do you think we are all blind!?"
At this time, the gnome with a hoarse voice jumped out and fiercely glared at Wang Lu, then at King Yunyang and the carriage behind him, and then at the three people with incomparable hatred.
"That woman only has the aptitude of earthly spiritual roots at most, and it is even lacking. At this time, she is poisoned and on the verge of death. Do you intend to use her to fool us!?"
Wang Lu faintly smiled. "Us? Do you think you are worthy of being mentioned together with senior? When I am talking to senior, you should withdraw. "
Wang Lu showed a moderate amount of respect to Yunkongjun, but he was unscrupulous towards the gnome. Although Yunkongjun had a certain preference for the gnome, he obviously did not care about his face. Listening to Wang Lu, instead of getting angry, he became even more curious. And in his eyes, the gnome was somewhat of an eyesore.
"Yunchang, you withdraw."
"Ancestor, but …" The dwarf named Yun Chang tried to distinguish between them, but an invisible force came crashing down on him, causing all the bones in his body to shake. He no longer dared to say another word and just awkwardly escaped from Wang Lu's line of sight.
At this time, Wang Lu said, "As you can see, the aptitude of the current Princess Yunyue is at most a defective product among the earthly spiritual roots. But this is not surprising, because right now, she is only a semi-finished product. There is still one more step to complete. You cannot use the standard of a finished product to demand a semi-finished product."
These words made Yunkongjun want to laugh. "Semi-finished product? Can a heavenly spiritual root be a semi-finished product? "
Wang Lu nodded. "Of course there is. As you know, many cultivators' spiritual roots are acquired through awakening. Before awakening, they are no different from mortals. And there are also some people who seem to have awakened their spiritual roots, but in fact, they are not completely awakened. If they can be guided correctly, you can see their true brilliance. "
Yunkongjun sneered. "Ridiculous!"
Wang Lu seriously replied, "On the issue of spiritual roots, please believe in my professionalism. My sect is second to none in the entire Immortal Cultivation World in dealing with the issue of high level spiritual roots. For example, me … "
While speaking, Wang Lu suddenly took a deep breath. Inside his Jade Mansion, a Void Core that was about to turn from virtual to real began to crazily shrink, causing the surrounding spiritual energy within a radius of hundreds of miles to rush toward one place like a stormy sea.
And Wang Lu's simple breathing caused a terrifying spiritual energy tide, which greatly surprised Yunkongjun. "What is your qualification?"
Originally, in Yunkongjun's eyes, Wang Lu should be an earthly spiritual root — his Non-Phase Method had a certain concealment effect on the attribute of his spiritual root. However, this spiritual energy tide was something that even a common heavenly spiritual root could not compare to. Yunkongjun had never heard of this before and was almost dumbfounded!
Yunkongjun's innate talent was not excellent, but it was similar to Princess Yunyue's. It was just that his acquired painstaking cultivation and fortuitous encounter allowed him to reach a realm that the vast majority of cultivators could never reach. Therefore, he did not particularly care about common earthly spiritual roots. However, the qualification shown by Wang Lu was far beyond his imagination.
"This is the Void Spiritual Root." Wang Lu faintly smiled. "Before it was truly stimulated, I was just a cultivator with earthly spiritual root. But now, you can see it."
Wang Lu's words really made Yunkongjun sink into contemplation.
Wang Lu struck while the iron was hot and said, "I promised to bring you the princess with heavenly spiritual root, so of course, I have to bring you the freshest one. Then, I will personally perform in front of you how to let the princess be reborn and awaken her true heavenly spiritual root. "
Although Yunkongjun had some doubts in his heart, after weighing the pros and cons, he gradually agreed. It was just that, as a peak Yuanying Stage cultivator who had established his own country in the mortal world, his thinking was very fast.
"Next, are you going to tell me that you need my help with this method of rebirth?"
Wang Lu said with a smile, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from senior. There are indeed some things that I need your help with. Regarding the method to perfectly stimulate the recessive spiritual root, although I understand the principle, my cultivation base is not high enough, so I can't skillfully use it. At least in this case, I don't have full confidence that I can perfectly stimulate the latent talent of a poisoned princess. "
Yunkongjun was silent for a moment, and then said, "You want me to help her detoxify the poison? Just for this? "
"The key is that I have to use magical power to directly extract the poison from her body. I can't use the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood to fight poison with poison — that will likely have an unpredictable impact on my next work. "
"So that's how it is. A mortal poisoned by the carrion grass can't be detoxified with the Ten Thousand Spirit Blood. Wanting to use magical power to save her life is indeed not an easy task … But, is this really a necessary step to awaken the heavenly spiritual root?" Yunkongjun asked with some interest.
Wang Lu said, "Regardless of whether it is or not, how much of a loss would it be for senior to detoxify her?"
"Fine, I will help you this once."
Just as Yunkongjun's voice fell, the sound of Princess Yunyue's painful coughs resounded in the carriage. At the same time, a faint black fog also rose from the carriage, as if it was pulled out by an invisible force.
Seeing this, Wang Lu's eyes narrowed. This Yunkongjun's recovery speed was even faster than what he expected. He was able to casually catch the fatal poison of the rotten corpse grass. This method was indeed brilliant, exceptionally brilliant!
"Now, the poison in her body has been removed. Do whatever you want to do."
Wang Lu nodded, turned around, and waved his hand. The spacious carriage immediately opened up, revealing a large soft bed inside. Princess Yunyue, dressed in splendid attire, was sitting timidly on the soft bed. Her face was pale and looked very weak, but her expression showed a firmness that did not match her age.
Then, Wang Lu did not go straight to the soft bed, but came to the side of King Yunyang and stared at him. At this time, under the gaze of Wang Lu, King Yunyang seemed to be in a trance.
Wang Lu snapped, "Even now, do you still want to hesitate and act like a little girl?"
Being roared by Wang Lu, King Yunyang's whole body shook, and the confusion in his eyes was gradually replaced by clarity. This king, who had been in power for decades, finally found his decisiveness. He handed a delicate sachet to Wang Lu.
Wang Lu took the sachet, turned around, and came to the bedside.
"Princess Yunyue, do you know what you will face next?"
Princess Yunyue had just recovered from a serious illness and was still very weak. She could only reluctantly nod, unable to open her mouth.
"Very good."
With a solemn look, Wang Lu handed the sachet to Yunyue.
However, at the same time, Yunkongjun suddenly shouted, "What is in that sachet!?"
A surge of invisible force came at him, but Wang Lu just happened to take a step to the side. Seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, he managed to cut off that force. Although he was shaken to the point of bleeding from his seven orifices, the sachet finally fell into Yunyue's hand!
The next moment, Yunkongjun's roar shocked hundreds of miles away. "Kid, you dare!"
In the face of the wrath of an ancestor who was close to Deity Stage, Wang Lu was calm and composed. His Non-Phase Sword Defense set up an impregnable defense, firmly protecting King Yunyang and his daughter. Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at the distant stone tablet that should have been broken. Like a ripple of water, it slowly repaired the broken place. The characters on its surface also gradually lit up, releasing an unparalleled power.
At this point, Wang Lu finally laughed out loud.
"Of course I dare. To deal with a prisoner, why wouldn't I dare?"
