He was actually pushed back three or four steps by Li Yao, and the gold transfer card was ruthlessly thrown at his face.
Li Yao's eyes were blood red. A strange force surged out from the depths of his bone marrow, giving him an uncontrollable impulse to punch his burning fist into Jiang Tao's mouth.
Jiang Tao was stunned. He didn't think that this country bumpkin would actually not give him any face and actually dare to push him.
And he himself … was actually pushed away by him!
The awakening of spiritual roots is the most mysterious phenomenon in the world of cultivation. Every cultivator's state of awakening their spiritual roots is different. But Jiang Tao is a pure creation-type cultivator. When his spiritual roots awaken, he simply doesn't have such a painful reaction.
Not even in his dreams would he have thought that Li Yao was on the verge of awakening.
Just a little bit of stimulation, just a little bit of stimulation, can —
Jiang Tao flew into a rage. He rushed in front of Li Yao in one step, grabbed his collar, and said while gnashing his teeth:
"I was kind enough to make friends with you, but you actually humiliated me like this. I gave you face, but you don't want it!"
"What, do you think those seven idiots are heroes and I'm a coward? So what? Right now I'm still alive and can enjoy a beautiful life, but those seven idiots are dead and not even a speck of dust is left! "
"Idiot?"
Ripples were popping up in Li Yao's eyes that were burning like a raging fire.
Jiang Tao laughed nastily:
"You're obviously a powerful cultivator, but you died for a group of insignificant ordinary people. If you're not an idiot, then what are you?"
"Let me tell you, silly boy. This is the Wasteland. There are many more cultivators here than inland. At that time, there were at least ten other cultivators in the car. They were like me, making the wisest choice. "
"Are we really cowards? Of course not! We're just preserving our strength. For a gentleman, revenge is a dish best served cold! "
"Only these seven idiots would stand up and fight head-on with the beast horde!"
"'The blood of the strong flows for the weak'? Hahahaha, what era is it now? How dare you say such nonsense? What a joke! "
"In short, you better listen to me well. I am a 3rd level Refinement Stage cultivator and a descendant of the Jiang family. My strength is something that you simply cannot imagine. As long as you dare to say half a word, I will crush you like an ant. You, country bumpkin, listen. Clear, Clear, Nothing. Do you have it? "
No.
Li Yao didn't hear anything.
In the depths of his brain, he could hear the sound of a tight zither string snapping, letting out an explosive sound that lingered in the air.
"Ding!"
It was also as if a shackle that imprisoned the soul had been torn to shreds, or a dam that blocked the flood had completely collapsed. A surging power violently gushed out from the deepest part of the brain and was amplified by the pineal gland. It was magnified dozens of times and blasted out of the space between his eyebrows.
A blood-red flame soared into the sky!
In an instant. In front of Li Yao's eyes was blood red. The entire world was dyed in red. Beside his ears, a roar like that of a tsunami could be heard. It was as if millions upon millions of crystal bombs had exploded at the same time, blasting him into an incomparably wonderful new world!
Li Yao had completely lost his ability to think. His iron-fisted fist, which was unable to endure the thirst, transformed into a roaring vicious beast. Before his brain could issue any commands, it madly rushed out.
"Pop!"
The sound of a watermelon bursting was followed by a mournful scream.
It was as if the bugle horn to attack had resounded through the clouds, causing the last drop of Li Yao's blood to boil.
His other fist had also transformed into a vicious beast. He couldn't help but clench it tightly, lift it up, retreat, and blast it out!
Following that … he didn't know anything.
… …
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yao suddenly opened his eyes. His mind was blank as he found himself in a small medical tent.
Half of his body was soaked in light green medical medicine. It was sticky and very comfortable.
However, his entire body was in incomparable pain. It was as if a crystal train had rolled over him back and forth a dozen times.
But what made him the most astonished was …
"Colors? Why are there so many colors? "
Li Yao blinked his eyes as he looked around in a somewhat perplexed manner.
He found that the entire world was completely different from before he fainted. The colors were incomparably gorgeous. There were hundreds of colors that he couldn't name.
Furthermore, there were many colorful specks of light floating in the air.
This kind of strange state was simply indescribable with words.
It was like a person who was born color-blind and could only see black and white. However, in the blink of an eye, he had gained the vision of a normal person. When red, orange, red, green, blue, blue, purple … countless kinds of gorgeous colors rushed into his retina, that kind of incomparable shock, magnified by a hundred times, was the brilliance that Li Yao felt at this moment!
Furthermore, Li Yao found that not only were all the objects around him radiating a hundred times more gorgeous than usual, even his own body was faintly emitting rainbow-like flames.
On his forehead, a little bit above his eyebrows, three thin and long "spirit threads" were born. They gently swayed along with his breathing.
When a few specks of light slowly floated over in the air, the "spirit threads" suddenly extended and fiercely sucked in one of the specks of light.
Like a long snake swallowing an egg, the specks of light followed the spirit threads and were absorbed into the brain. After being transformed by the pineal gland, they transformed into an extremely cool energy that was sent to his limbs and bones, causing his entire body to feel extremely comfortable.
"What is this?"
Li Yao extended his hand to grab it, but his palm directly passed through the spirit threads. He didn't touch anything at all.
He used his fingers to rub the space between his eyebrows, but he didn't feel anything strange.
His soul could clearly feel that a brand new organ had been born in his brain. It was an organ that had evolved from the pineal gland. It was precisely this organ that was controlling the spirit threads.
Li Yao's mind stirred. The three spirit threads danced chaotically and quickly swallowed several dozen specks of light. All of them were absorbed into his brain to nourish his soul and body.
Upon seeing this, the specks of light all around dodged one after another. The speed at which they floated also became much faster, like startled plankton in the ocean.
"If only the spirit threads could be a little longer. Just a little more would be enough! "Li Yao thought in his heart.
Just as this thought floated in his mind, his brain hurt. The energy contained within his soul was continuously sent into the new organ formed by the pineal gland.
Not only did the three spirit threads become longer, but a slightly shorter fourth spirit thread also grew. Moreover, the speed at which the spirit threads danced also increased by a lot.
Not long after. He had captured over a hundred specks of light.
"So powerful? If over a hundred spirit threads were to grow at once, wouldn't I be able to sweep away all the specks of light? "
Li Yao was greatly excited.
However, this time, the new organ that had evolved from the pineal gland did not respond to his call. Instead, a faint warning came from the depths of his brain, causing him to instantly wake up.
This request was too excessive. It was far beyond the scope of his abilities. Unless he was willing to overdraft his life, he wouldn't be able to do it in a short time.
"It seems that the growth of spirit threads also has a limit. It must be done step by step and slowly grow. It can't be done overnight."
Li Yao sat up with difficulty in the medical pod. He curiously sized up the strange new world.
He discovered that when he closed his eyes, he could still perceive the incomparably gorgeous world. Moreover, it became even clearer and more distinct.
"Could it be that this new organ that evolved from the pineal gland can directly perceive the world?"
Li Yao simply used both of his hands to cover his eyes and focused his mind on his forehead. He scanned his surroundings.
"Huh?"
Li Yao quickly discovered that there was another medical pod in front of him. There was also a wounded person lying inside.
This person's body was emitting a "light flame". It was a hundred times more intense than his!
The light flame around Li Yao's body was still not fixed. It was like a candle in the wind, swaying with the wind. It was unstable and had a feeling that it could be extinguished at any time.
However, the light flame around this person's body was like a faintly flowing river. It formed a sparkling armor that firmly wrapped around his entire body.
Moreover —
Li Yao only had four spirit threads on his forehead. He relied on the dancing spirit threads to devour the floating specks of light.
Not only were the spirit threads on this person's forehead more numerous, they were also thicker. Moreover, they also interweaved into a huge vortex, producing a powerful suction force that sucked in all the floating specks of light.
It was effortless. The efficiency was a hundred times higher than Li Yao's.
"The structure of this vortex of spirit threads is so mysterious!"
Li Yao secretly praised. Just as he was about to carefully study it, a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot out from the wounded person's body, causing Li Yao's brain to feel a stabbing pain.
When he looked again, the wounded person's body was pitch black. He couldn't see any spirit light at all.
"Little brother, casually prying into other people's secret cultivation method is the most taboo in the world of cultivators. Since you just became a cultivator, I won't bicker with you. However, when you go outside, don't sneak around on other cultivators' bodies like this!"
A boorish voice laughed.
Li Yao stared blankly. He opened his eyes and looked over. In the medical cabin across from him, an ugly, tall, and muscular man sat up. His full beard was stiff as he stared at Li Yao in a daze. He was practically at daggers drawn.
Li Yao's face reddened. Just as he was about to apologize, the other person's three words caused him to stare blankly for a moment. Then, he went wild with joy and jumped up from the medical cabin.
"Cultivator? That's right, that's right. My pineal gland has evolved into a spirit root. My spirit root has awakened. I am a cultivator! "
Li Yao loudly roared. He fiercely waved his right fist. A series of ripples appeared in the air, spreading out like ripples and reverberating for a long time.
After wandering around the world for three months, he still couldn't find an opportunity to break through. He didn't expect that on the northbound train, he would see the scene of Ding Yin and the other seniors generously sacrificing themselves for justice and fighting to the end. Then, he would be enraged by Jiang Tao. His blood would boil, his spirit would explode, and his spirit would awaken!
From this moment on, he was no longer an ordinary person. He was no longer a weakling.
After encountering such a hair-raising scene like last night, he no longer needed the protection of others.
He could fight side by side with Ding Yin, Wei Qingqing, and the red-eyed officer. They would fight to the end!
The brawny man looked at Li Yao with a smile. After waiting for him to calm down a little, he slowly said, "My name is Guan Xiong. I am a Building Foundation Stage cultivator of the Mountain Sea Sect. In the Wasteland, everyone likes to call me 'Mountain Sea Pass Xiong'!"
"Mountain Sea Sect, Guan Xiong?"
Li Yao immediately recalled. After the seven cultivators had sacrificed themselves, there was a cultivator who had rushed over from thousands of miles away. With his own strength, he stood between the crystal train and the beast tide. He brandished his Blazing Battleship Slicing Blade and heroically charged towards the Demon Clan giant.
It was precisely the bearded brawny man in front of him, Mountain Sea Pass Xiong!
"Big Brother Xiong, you didn't die? That's great! "Li Yao was happy from the bottom of his heart. This was really unexpected good news. (A good activity where a pie falls from the sky.
