Chapter 1829: The Fight for Spiritual Root
Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
Qingfeng killed the three-eyed poisonous spider with one pinch, as all the other self-cultivators looked on in shock and stepped back.
They all felt that Qingfeng was very powerful and that they weren’t worthy opponents for him, so it would be best not to bother Qingfeng.
Qingfeng didn’t look at the other self-cultivators’ expressions, but instead, he continued to say, “Come, let’s move forward. Be careful everyone.”
Qingfeng and others didn’t move very fast, which was their plan, because Qingfeng knew that there were three middle-tier dynasty forces that entered the tunnel. Aside from Meng Lin, there were the Emperor of Sky Array Dynasty, and Emperor of Spirit Talisman Dynasty. They all had incredible power, and no less weak than Qingfeng, as they were all at third level spirit monarch realm.
If Qingfeng fought them alone, then there might be a chance of winning, but if it was one against three, then he had no chance to win.
So, Qingfeng wanted them to walk in the very front, so that once they found the spiritual stone, they would fight amongst themselves while Qingfeng watched. It was his plan all along.
The mine tunnel was very big and grew deeper as one walked more inside. Rushes of cold wind came from the underground, as people shook in response.
Qingfeng activated his internal fire vital essence to fight off the cold energy. At the same time, a few poisonous demonic beasts, which included poisonous snakes, centipedes and other bugs crawled from the depth of the underground.
However, without any exception, Qingfeng killed them all, and now that he has reached first level spirit monarch realm and acquired the Emperor’s Law, his Golden Flame could reach nine thousand degrees, and was invincible.
Mengyao Xu, Yun Ya and others followed behind Qingfeng, as it was incredibly safe. They followed behind Qingfeng so that he would protect them from danger.
Shortly after, Qingfeng led the group towards a massive empty hall.
Qingfeng’s face changed, because the hall seemed to have been built for humans, which shocked him, because the spiritual veins were underground, and there shouldn’t have been men who passed by.
This hall was ten thousand square meters big, as a massive spiritual vein stood in the middle. The spiritual vein crossed through the middle of the hall into the depth of the underground. There were at least ten thousand spiritual stones on the spiritual vein above the surface and they were all monarch grade spiritual stones.
Now, all around these spiritual stones, Meng Lin, Sky Array Emperor, and Spirit Talisman Emperor all stood with their own forces in three different directions and looked at each other with caution.
They all wanted to take the stones but were afraid of others’ attacks, because the spiritual stones were too alluring.
The Sky Array Emperor had lived for several hundred years and has extensive experience, so he thought of a good idea.
The Sky Array Emperor laughed as he said loudly, “Meng Lin, and Spirit Talisman Emperor, all three of us are third level spirit monarch realm powers. If we fight each other, then we would all be wounded. There are at least ten thousand monarch grade spiritual stones, why don’t we share it equally amongst ourselves?”
After Meng and Spirit Talisman Emperor heard the Sky Array Emperor, their eyes glistened, “Right, why should we fight amongst ourselves? Others might take advantage of our fighting, even if we share it equally amongst ourselves, it would be more than enough.”
Qingfeng’s face grew grim; who knew the Sky Array Emperor would think of such an idea? How could Meng and Spirit Talisman Emperor also agree with his idea?
Qingfeng had to get the three to fight amongst themselves, which was his only hope.
Mengyao came to Qingfeng’s side, and asked, “Brother Li, what should we do now? Should we go and steal those spiritual stones?”
Qingfeng waved his hands and said, “Let’s wait first and see if anything happens. I don’t think stealing these spiritual stones would be that easy. Once the spiritual stones reached monarch grade, they gain their own spirituality, and must have their own intelligence, so that average self-cultivators couldn’t get to it.”
Without a doubt, everything was what Qingfeng expected. In the next moment, the ten thousand spiritual stones all went deep into the underground, into the depth of the tunnel.
From the other direction, Meng, Sky Array Emperor, and Spirit Talisman Emperor all froze. They initially failed to realize that the spiritual stones were escaping, and now that the stones all escaped, they felt depressed.
Suddenly, Meng Lin remembered something as he shouted loudly, “I know, these spiritual stones must have given birth to spiritual roots. Spiritual roots are only born at least four level monarch grades, so as long as we find the spiritual roots in these spiritual stones, we could reach fourth level spirit monarch realm, or even higher. Everyone, go and chase after it!”
All the self-cultivators’ faces filled with excitement. They have heard of spiritual roots, as it formed when all spiritual stones’ spirituality gathered together. It was the essence of spiritual stones, heavenly divinity, and earthy soils, as it was the purest of all.
Meng, Sky Array Emperor, and Spirit Talisman Emperor looked at each other, as they hurried towards the depth of the tunnel. They wanted to acquire the spiritual root, as it was far more crucial to them than those spiritual stones.
Qingfeng has heard of spiritual roots before, so his eyes also filled with excitement, as he waved his hands and said, “Let’s hurry forward as well.”
Qingfeng has given his all, even if he had to fight Meng, Sky Array Emperor and Spirit Talisman Emperor all together, then he still wouldn’t back down. Unlike the spiritual stones, there was only one spiritual root, and he had to get it.
The depth of the tunnel was pitch black, but the self-cultivators all had incredible power, and incredibly powerful Penetration Vision. As long as they could release their spirit energy was released, they could clearly see the danger in the air, rocks, and ground.
Hints of hissing sound came from the depth of the tunnel, which was made by the underground poisonous demonic beasts. They launched attacks to protect the spiritual root.
However, for super powers like Meng, Sky Array Emperor, Spirit Talisman Emperor, and Qingfeng, they weren’t afraid of these poisonous demonic beasts at all. With a one of their punches, they could easily kill these demonic beasts.
Finally, Meng Lin, Sky Array Emperor, Spirit Talisman Emperor, and Qingfeng, along with many self-cultivators behind them all drove the spiritual root towards the end of the tunnel. There was a firm rock in front of them that blocked their way, with no escape.
This spiritual root has just sucked in all the ten thousand spiritual stones inside its body, as it turned into a ginseng-like form of one meter tall. However, unlike ginseng, it was like a round pillar, which glowed with white glisten and Emperor seal scripts that gleamed. It looked like a human face, as it could turn into human form, like a ginseng.
Meng, Sky Array Emperor, and Spirit Talisman Emperor all rushed forward with their hands towards the spiritual root.
The spiritual root was like a sad baby that stood there, as if it was about to cry, and looked at the three people sadly.
