"My beloved minister has rendered meritorious service in protecting the Emperor, how about I grant you the title of * * * *?"
The Lady Boss's face suddenly became extremely painful.
"... Since you still have the mood to talk nonsense, it seems like there's nothing else. Then I'll go back to sleep. You can slowly experience the thrill of the new realm."
With that, the Lady Boss yawned and then pushed the door open to leave.
As for Wang Lu, just like what the Lady Boss said, he was experiencing the thrill of this breakthrough.
The eighth layer of Non-Phase Sword Bone, since the birth of the Emperor Bone, was announced to have reached the Grand Accomplishment Stage. More than two hundred Sword Bones with powerful vitality, under the command of the Emperor Bone, released a terrifying energy several times more than before. Although he only broke through one level, the overall improvement of his strength was already difficult to measure.
Crack!
Wang Lu casually reached out and broke off the corner of the bedside cabinet. The hard wood was crushed into pieces by him...
Perhaps this was a matter of course for any cultivator who had reached the Grand Accomplishment Stage, but Wang Lu, who specialized in Non-Phase Sword Bone, had never experienced such a powerful increase in strength. Since the beginning of his cultivation, he seemed to have no affinity with the destructive power. This confirmed what his Master said: attack, speed, all were evil, only hardness was everything.
In fact, after reaching the Grand Accomplishment Stage of the eighth layer, the nature of the Non-Phase Sword Bone did not change. It was still extremely good at defense and ignored the destructive power. The current increase in strength was just the side effect of the upgrade of the Non-Phase Sword Bone, but the side effect was so significant … It was difficult for Wang Lu to estimate the toughness of his body. Perhaps compared to those cultivators with Foundation Building cultivation base, his body was not inferior to them. And this was only the Grand Accomplishment Stage of the Body Refining Stage, not even the Qi Cultivating Stage.
The Non-Phase Sword Bone was an extreme cultivation path. However, to this extent, no matter how picky Wang Lu was, he had to admit that he was convinced. His Master, that slut, was able to firmly occupy a seat in the Heavenly Sword Hall because of her uniqueness. According to Wang Lu's situation, even though that guy's cultivation level is a bit low, his defensive ability may not be inferior to those peak Nascent Soul stage elders?
Of course, this was just a guess. The difference between King Pill and Nascent Soul was far greater than the difference between lower realms. Not to mention that those elders were all at the peak of Nascent Soul. In theory, if they fought against someone at the peak of King Pill, they would at least be able to fight against ten people. Although his Master's Non-Phase Method was peerless, as a disciple of the Spirit Sword Sect, the several Elders' unique skill was not necessarily inferior...
With the pain in the ass spirit of a professional adventurer, Wang Lu secretly imagined the scene of his Master committing a crime, being caught by the second and third elders, and having to pay for her crime with her body. After that, he sighed with emotion that he had been deeply poisoned by the atmosphere of Non-Phase Peak for two years, which was already beyond redemption. Now was not the time to fantasize.
Mastering the eighth level of the Sword Bone was gratifying, but the next step was the most crucial one — guiding the Qi into his body. According to his Master, when he successfully mastered the eighth level of the Sword Bone, he would understand the secret of the Void Spirit Root and guide the Qi into his body. So, what was the difference between now and before...
Wang Lu closed his eyes again, put the residual pain in his body to the back of his mind, and once again entered the world of Internal Vision.
When he opened his eyes, Wang Lu suddenly felt enlightened. When he looked around, the sky was actually clear and boundless! Under the golden sunlight, what came into view was a stretch of green water, green mountains, gurgling streams, and fragrant flowers.
This...
Witnessing this scene, it took Wang Lu some time to sort out his thoughts. Just like what his Master said, once he successfully mastered the eighth level, everything was indeed different. Originally, in this space, although there were mountains and rivers, and there were also more than two hundred bright jade pillars that illuminated the four directions, but in the distance where the light could not reach, it was oppressively pure darkness. Using the Internal Vision to inspect was like walking in a bustling night scene.
However, now, it was as bright as day. Not only the space around him, but even the distance was illuminated by the intense blue light. The two hundred and six Sword Bones in his body were still emitting light, but they were all covered by an even more intense light source.
That was the sun above his head — the Emperor Bone that was struck down by the Lady Boss, which had become the key to change everything. The existence of the Emperor Bone not only meant that there was a dazzling light source in his body, but more importantly, it allowed Wang Lu to see the distant place, the "boundary" that was propped up by the two hundred and six Sword Bones.
According to what Wang Lu had learned in the sect, that boundary was the most important part of a cultivator's "Spirit Root", an existence similar to a filter. Outside the boundary was the omnipresent spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and inside the boundary was the cultivator's Jade Mansion — of course, for Wang Lu, who had just reached the Body Refining Stage, it was still not a Jade Mansion. It was just a foundation, also known as the Inner Mansion.
The process of a cultivator's cultivation, in the simplest terms, was to absorb the spiritual energy from the outside into the Jade Mansion, and then transform it into their own power. It could be immortal power, magical power, demon power … thousands upon thousands of them, and it varied from person to person. However, the vast majority of cultivators had to go through this process from the outside to the inside. Generally speaking, it was to draw spiritual energy into the body.
In this process, the most critical factor was a person's Spirit Root, which was the existence of that layer of filter. For the vast majority of mortals, the boundary that separated the inside from the outside was like a strict barrier. The spiritual energy was seriously blocked on the outside, and they simply could not absorb enough spiritual energy to transform it into magical power, thus, they were unable to cultivate.
Secondly, it was the so-called Five Elements Spirit Root, also known as Pseudo Spirit Root. This kind of person's filter was somewhat humane, and could accommodate an appropriate amount of spiritual energy into the body. However, during the absorption process, it was completely indiscriminate, resulting in the spiritual energy that entered the body not only being sparse, but also chaotic. Moreover, what was worse was that the composition of the spiritual energy that entered the body was highly random. Different cultivators used different meditation methods to draw spiritual energy into the body at different times and places, and the amount of spiritual energy they obtained would be very different. As a result, when the cultivator carried out the step of transforming spiritual energy into magical power, it would be very difficult to have any efficiency.
After that, it was the Four Elements and Three Elements Mixed Spirit Root. Actually, compared to the Five Elements Spirit Root, their nature was not much different, and it was still a mess. However, in the end, it helped the cultivator to get rid of the two wrong answers. After drawing spiritual energy into the body, the difficulty of filtering was much lower. In Wang Lu's words, being taken by three people was better than being taken by five people, right? Later on, it would be easier for a child to recognize his father.
However, when it came to the level of Dual Element Spirit Root, the situation was different.
When the cultivator's filter could only accommodate two kinds of spiritual energy, even if the composition ratio still had a lot of changes and uncertainty, there were a lot more ways to distinguish them. Moreover, many cultivation methods didn't even need to distinguish the attributes, and could naturally transform it into magical power. As a result, the path of cultivation was undoubtedly much smoother, and it was also from this level that the cultivator had the possibility of advancing to Enlightened King Pill. And only Enlightened King Pill had the qualifications to establish a foothold in the cultivation world. Therefore, Dual Element Spirit Roots and above were also known as True Spirit Roots.
However, Dual Element Spirit Roots could only be ranked fifth among the many grades. This was because the two kinds of spiritual energy could complement each other, and naturally, it was better than mutually restraining or having nothing to do with each other. The Five Elements Spirit Roots often had many wonderful uses when drawing spiritual energy into the body. Not only would the cultivator's cultivation progress be faster, but the power of the spells they cast would also be stronger.
Further up was the Compound Spirit Root. In fact, it was also a Dual Element Spirit Root, but the Compound Spirit Root's filtering of spiritual energy was more stable, and the two elements complemented each other. Generally, it would be a Third Grade Spirit Root.
As for the Single Element Spirit Root, generally speaking, the worst one would be an Earth Spirit Root. Not only was the filtered spiritual energy relatively pure, but the permeability of the filter was also very strong. Although it was only one of the five elements, the efficiency of drawing spiritual energy was several times better than that of a Low Grade Spirit Root. As for the Heavenly Spirit Root, it was theoretically a flawless Spirit Root. It could naturally extract extremely pure spiritual energy of a single attribute. As long as it was matched with the appropriate mental cultivation method, the speed of cultivation was simply unimaginable. Of course, mental cultivation methods that could be matched with the Heavenly Spirit Root were also rare. Moreover, after the End of Days, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth changed, and the Heavenly Spirit Root might not be as popular as it was during the Glorious Era.
Apart from this, there were also mutated Spirit Roots. In fact, this was a very general classification. All Spirit Roots that couldn't be categorized as Five Elements Spirit Roots, as well as Spirit Roots that were mixed with a special ratio of spiritual energy, resulting in abnormal effects, were all classified as mutated Spirit Roots. The effects of these Spirit Roots were varied and difficult to describe in a few words. To a certain extent, Wang Lu's Void Spirit Root was also a mutated Spirit Root. However, because its grade was too high, it was called the Heavenly Spirit Root.
But what was the Void Spirit Root? Since there were only two cultivators with the Void Spirit Root in history, and their identities were so special, there weren't many records left. Especially the information about the first Emperor, which was mostly myths and legends, with very few credible parts. Today, what people knew was only a little bit of information deduced from the historical materials of Great Ancestor De Sheng. For example, the spiritual energy adaptability was too high, so although it was easy to draw spiritual energy, it couldn't be retained. Thus, Great Ancestor De Sheng spent ten years in the Kunlun Immortal World without any success...
And now, Wang Lu was fortunate enough to witness the most special Spirit Root in the Nine Regions for tens of thousands of years, the true appearance of the Void Spirit Root.
At the end of the two hundred and six Sword Bones, a transparent membrane quietly propped up the entire structure of the Inner Mansion. This was the outer wall of the Void Spirit Root, which was as clear and transparent as glass. The so-called Void Spirit Root probably got its name from this. Generally, Spirit Roots would have very obvious characteristics. For example, the outer wall of the Fire Element Heavenly Spirit Root was a group of fire clouds that enveloped the entire sky. In addition to the spiritual energy of the fire element, the rest of the spiritual energy would be isolated from the outside.
It was also because of this that when the Sect Leader of Spirit Sword Sect roughly observed Wang Lu and Wang Zhong, he actually missed the qualification of Wang Lu.
However, it was impossible to make an accurate judgment based on the appearance alone. Therefore, Wang Lu slightly Resuscitation from the Internal Vision state and put part of his attention on the outside.
Multitasking was the most basic requirement for drawing spiritual energy into the body. Part of the cultivator's energy must be sensitive to the outside world's spiritual energy to absorb and capture it. The other part must stay in the Inner Mansion to timely preserve the spiritual energy that entered the body. Generally speaking, the cultivator would drive the spiritual energy to circulate in the meridians of the body, so that the spiritual energy would not be lost. After that, the spiritual energy would be compressed to form a spin. Once the spin was formed, the surrounding spiritual energy would continue to seep into the body under the suction force of the whirlpool. Eventually, like a rolling snowball, the cultivator could use this abundant spiritual energy to build his Jade Mansion. Once the Jade Mansion was built, the cultivator would have officially entered the Foundation Establishment Stage.
For Wang Lu, what he needed to do now was to draw the surrounding spiritual energy into his body, and then, through the observation process, he would understand the uniqueness of the Void Spirit Root. Although he was not in the Spirit Sword Mountain, the spiritual energy in the Spirit Creek Town was still very rich. Wang Lu, who had the Heavenly Spirit Root ability since he was a child, could clearly see this.
Then there was the absorption. His Master didn't write how to do this step, but presumably, it was not because of carelessness, but because she didn't think it was necessary to specifically write it. And Wang Lu naturally understood the method to absorb the spiritual energy with his body.
It was very simple, it was to breathe. However, it was different from ordinary breathing. Instead, he had to use the Non-Phase Sword Emperor Bone as the core to mobilize his whole body's qi and blood, trembling and relaxing to form a suction force on the surrounding spiritual energy.
Part of this suction force came from the boundless vitality contained in the Non-Phase Sword Emperor Bone, and the other part came from the natural characteristic of the Void Spirit Root. When Wang Lu issued the command to the Non-Phase Sword Emperor Bone, the light in his Inner Mansion suddenly became more intense. The more than two hundred Non-Phase Sword Bones began to flicker with the same rhythm, and that layer of transparent membrane also suddenly lit up, following the entire Jade Mansion. He took a deep breath.
In an instant, the freely dissipating spiritual energy around Wang Lu stagnated, and then, with Wang Lu as the center, it crazily surged in.
So fast!
Even though Wang Lu was already prepared, he didn't expect that this one breath would actually attract such a surge of spiritual energy! All the surrounding spiritual energy within a radius of one hundred meters seemed to converge in this one breath, forming a stormy sea!
Such a situation was extremely dangerous for any cultivator who had just embarked on the road of Immortal Cultivation. Whether it was the outer wall of the Spirit Root or the meridians within the body, they had not yet been baptized by the surrounding spiritual energy. If they were suddenly rushed in like this, it was very likely that they would go berserk and explode.
The next moment, the huge wave of spiritual energy hit the outer wall. That layer of transparent, clear, and seemingly vulnerable membrane flickered with a platinum brilliance. Under the impact of the spiritual energy, it was as stable as Mount Tai.
At the same time, a platinum rain fell in the Inner Mansion. Wang Lu was stunned for a moment. He realized that this was the highly purified spiritual energy of the Void Spirit Root … It didn't seem to belong to any of the five elements, but it looked very powerful.
However, without waiting for Wang Lu to look at it, the platinum raindrops evaporated in mid-air, turned into a thick cloud, and then completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
The entire process only took three to five breaths of time. When Wang Lu reacted, the platinum cloud had already completely dissipated. The outer wall of the Spirit Root also no longer flickered with brilliance, and the surrounding spiritual energy … was no different from before. It was as if that deep breath in the Inner Mansion had never happened.
Completely withdrawing his thoughts back to the Inner Mansion, Wang Lu pondered for a moment, and finally understood the reason.
So it was like this … this was the key reason why the Void Spirit Root could not cultivate.
The so-called spiritual energy adaptability was actually a misunderstanding. The truth was that after the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had been purified by the outer wall of the Void Spirit Root, it had condensed into an unidentifiable power. This unknown power could not be restrained by any existing means. The moment it entered the body, it would dissipate. If it wasn't the owner of the Void Spirit Root himself, he would only see a huge amount of spiritual energy gushing out, just like walking through a city gate …
To use a more realistic and common analogy, it was like a poor boy meeting his mother-in-law, who had no choice but to helplessly buy a house.
Thinking of this, Wang Lu couldn't help but feel happy. This Void Spirit Root was simply the mother-in-law's spiritual root! Only the second generation like Immortal Qin and Great Ancestor Desheng, who hugged the thighs of the Immortal World, could subdue it. Losers like me really couldn't hope for it.
However, according to his Master, this Non-Phase Sword Bone had the possibility to go against the heaven and change one's fate … but how could it be changed?
His Master's note stopped here. Obviously, she didn't expect that Wang Lu's cultivation speed would be so fast. In a little more than a month, he had already completed the eighth layer of Non-Phase Sword Bone and reached the doorstep of the Qi Cultivating Stage.
What should he do now? One way was to wait for his Master to come back, and the other way …
Wang Lu couldn't help but feel happy. Even that idiot slut could create such a divine skill like Non-Phase Sword Bone, how could he, the dignified bookworm, not follow the existing train of thought? In any case, the objective conditions were clear, so he just needed to analyze it.
The current situation was that, after the spiritual energy of the Void Spirit Root had been purified by the mother-in-law's spiritual root, it had already transformed into a Ms Perfect. And if a loser like him wanted to hold hands with her, there was only one way, right?
Wang Lu returned to his Inner Mansion and focused his attention on the two hundred and six indomitable Sword Bones that pierced the outer wall of the Void Spirit Root.
His Master designed the Non-Phase Sword Bone to look like this, her intention was actually clear: If he wanted to hold hands with a Ms Perfect, then …
Force himself on her!
