Chapter Four, Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Roots
It seems you know nothing about cultivation! The old man said: "Among mortals, there are a few who possess spiritual roots, allowing them to sense the primordial energy of heaven and earth, thus enabling them to breathe and cultivate, ultimately achieving immortality. This process is known as cultivation."
Even with a mental connection, the conversation between the two was like a donkey's lips not matching a horse's mouth, as neither understood what the other was saying
Of course not! Jiang Cen said without hesitation
Ah! Jiang Cen was taken aback: "What on earth is going on?"
Jiang Cen turned his eyes slightly upon hearing this, and saw the still body of the scholar.
Is he really dead? Jiang Cen asked in his heart
Do you know what is the most important thing in cultivating immortality
The progress of cultivation is largely related to the spiritual root. The purer the spiritual root, the better the aptitude.
"Isn't it such a joy to be immortal?" The voice of the old man echoed once more
Jiang Cen bit fiercely, the green light group continued to wail, and beams of fluorescence shattered and disappeared, causing the green light group to gradually shrink
Jiang Cen seemed to understand yet not fully comprehend; although she did not quite grasp it, this Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root appeared to be quite extraordinary
What is the Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root? Jiang Cen was puzzled, but the other party said he was a "once-in-a-millennium genius," which he found quite flattering
"How can you still have the right to sigh!" the old man suddenly said, "I just examined you carefully, and you are actually an extremely rare Five Elements Heavenly Spiritual Root, a prodigy not seen in the cultivation world for ten thousand years! If someone like you feels dejected, wouldn't all other cultivators want to jump into the river?"
What day could it be? Jiang Cen wondered. He hoped that in a few days, his parents would have redeemed the grand prize and would be discussing with him how to become a wealthy person
His voice echoed in the valley, and at that moment, two young men were flying on their swords, soaring through the air!
"I don't care!" Jiang Cen said, "I want to take a nap first"
In addition, there are also slightly inferior dual attribute spiritual roots, triple spiritual roots, quadruple spiritual roots, and those referred to as mixed spiritual roots, which are quintuple spiritual roots
It is said that immortals are capable of anything! Senior, do you know how to traverse dreams and return to reality? Jiang Cen seemed to have grasped a lifeline, as this might be his only hope
What are you daydreaming about! The old man became increasingly confused: You young fellow must be exhausted, so take a rest first
Your spiritual roots consist of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, embodying all five elements. On the surface, they appear to be the least favorable mixed spiritual roots, but upon closer examination, one will find that each type of spiritual root is exceptionally pure, akin to a single attribute heavenly spiritual root, thus they are referred to as the Five Element Heavenly Spiritual Roots
Upon waking from his slumber, he felt a pervasive soreness and numbness throughout his body. He stretched his limbs vigorously before finally opening his drowsy eyes
Alas! The old man sighed deeply and said: "It is better not to mention the things of the past"
Good! Jiang Cen readily agreed, channeling a fierce determination. As long as there was even a one in ten thousand chance to break the deadlock, he would give it his all
Suddenly, his eyes brightened, and he saw the surrounding scenery again, while he remained motionless in the valley
The pure and singular attribute spiritual root is referred to as the Heavenly Spiritual Root, signifying the pride of heaven
He is eager to prove his hypothesis, so he now wants to take a nap, and when he wakes up, it should no longer be November 7th
"What interface?" Jiang Cen was taken aback: "Is it this dream world? I am not sure either"
"It seems that you have encountered the peculiar phenomenon of dimensional travel!" the old man said. "Although such occurrences are rare, they do happen in the realm of cultivation. If you can cultivate to become a powerful immortal and master the laws of dimensional travel, you will be able to traverse freely between various dimensions. Returning to other dimensions will not be a difficult task!"
Is death the only way to achieve this
Where is my phone? Jiang Cen reached out to search, eager to know whether he had broken the fate of returning to the starting point
Jiang Cen was startled, and he suddenly became much more alert. He sat up and looked around, seeing a familiar valley.
He did not return to the real world smoothly as expected, breaking the original point and moving towards a new life, but instead remains trapped in the "dream world"
"I am quite fortunate to have encountered a talent like you!" The old man said with great joy, "As long as you follow my guidance in your cultivation, you will have a great opportunity to become an immortal in the future! At that time, I will also be able to rely on your good fortune to return to the immortal realm and reshape my immortal body!"
The old man said: "I am but a wisp of golden remnant soul, and I now exist within your body, living and dying together with you! As long as you think of me in your heart, there is no need to speak, and you can communicate with me through your mind."
I did not expect you to be so decisive! The old man said: "To kill a Golden Core cultivator, without any hesitation!"
"It is! I will definitely seek to survive, not to die!" Jiang Cen said loudly. This was exactly in line with his thoughts
This time he did not die, according to his speculation, as long as he does not die in the dream, upon waking up, it is possible to break the deadlock and no longer return to the starting point
This time, Jiang Cen finally understood. He asked in surprise, "Return to the Immortal Realm? Senior, were you originally an immortal?"
"What kind of chicken is this? Not a single mountain chicken in sight." Suddenly, a familiar voice of an old man echoed in his mind
Sigh! Jiang Cen was filled with doubts and somewhat dejected
Senior, please teach me how to cultivate immortality
He immediately recounted his experiences to the old man, who listened with a mixture of belief and skepticism
But if one dies, they will return to the starting point! If one does not die, they cannot go back! Is this an eternal deadlock that can never be resolved?
This form of mental communication is remarkable and highly efficient; as soon as he has a thought, the other party responds.
"The soul has fled, and one cannot die any more than this!" the old man said with a smile
Jiang Cen was taken aback. How could the other party hear his laughter when he had not spoken?
Haha, I am not dead, I am not dead! Jiang Cen was overjoyed, but unfortunately, he could not speak and could only laugh heartily in his heart
"Why am I still here?" Jiang Cen exclaimed in astonishment
Wrong! It is about survival! At any time, survival is paramount, not death! Other desires for fame, wealth, dignity, and morality can all be cast aside! Cultivating immortality is about achieving eternal life! Your fear of death is a good thing in terms of cultivation! Promise me, no matter how perilous the path of cultivation may be, no matter how many temptations arise, always remember to seek survival, not death! Even if, like me, you are left with only a wisp of residual soul, you must strive to survive!
How can I go back
Isn't it a matter of spiritual root aptitude
You have been sealed in your meridians by that scholar, but there is no need to panic. Within two hours, the seal will automatically解除, and at that time, you will be able to move freely
"Because I am in your heart!" the old man said
Finally, the green light group transformed into small green beans, and in the end, the small green beans were also torn apart and shredded by Jiang Cen, disappearing completely!
Haha! The scene is too beautiful, and Jiang Cen cannot help but secretly smile in his heart
"What is a Golden Elixir cultivator?" Jiang Cen did not understand; he was extremely tired and just wanted to have a good sleep
This scholar has killed him more than one hundred times, and now he has only killed the scholar once, yet he still feels unsatisfied. How could he possibly spare him
Who is shouting loudly! Falling into the hands of my two senior brothers, let him be unable to live or die!
Then I will sleep! Jiang Cen closed his eyes
These hundreds of crossings have allowed Jiang Cen to develop a unique ability; he can stay awake for several days and nights without sleep, and he can also fall asleep at any time and in any place
He quickly fell asleep. In a daze, it seemed that he even had a beautiful dream, perhaps about becoming a wealthy second-generation, marrying a beautiful and rich woman, and reaching the pinnacle of life, among other clichéd scenarios
"What kind of dream world is this?" The old man exclaimed in anger, "Do you think I am speaking nonsense!"
It will take two hours to break the seal! Jiang Cen thought to himself: Two hours, that is four hours, isn't it? That is not a short amount of time
"What four hours?" the old man said. "Just use this time to tell me the general situation of this interface."
