Chapter 589 - 190: Water and Fire Spirit Roots

Chapter 589: Chapter 190: Water and Fire Spirit Roots

An Jing’s True Spirit Blood, though successfully conceived with the aid of a Demon Core under the guidance of a Heavenly Revelation, is not wholly complete.

After all, An Jing’s Spirit Root encompasses only ’Metal, Wood, Earth’ elements, missing the Water and Fire elements. While the Fire aspect can be slightly supplemented by the Blood Fiend of Mars, the Water Spirit Root is truly absent, preventing the convergence of the five elements required for the Ancestral Dragon Seed within him to germinate.

In theory, An Jing could first advance his Martial Meridian, then through the interplay of the Heaven and Earth Root and the True Spirit Blood within him, upgrade himself to reach Perfection.

But making up for it later is still slower than having complete True Spirit Blood from the start.

Although An Jing has not thought so much about it, he still hopes to achieve full advancement as much as possible.

However, he has no good solutions, and can only take things one step at a time.

Perhaps returning to Embracing the Void and slaying the Heavenly Demons, the Primordial Qi acquired could hasten his progression.

But unexpectedly, the Heavenly Dao of Tianyuan Realm took such an interest in him that upon arrival, could he directly achieve Unity of Heaven and Man?

"I am at a critical juncture in my cultivation, Huo Qing, protect me!"

With no time for deeper thought, An Jing sat cross-legged on the spot, operating the Son of Heaven Method for Inner Observation, while Huo Qing, after initially being startled, quickly reacted. A gleam flickered in his eyes, and with a command from his chip, he activated all the arrays in the entire warehouse at the highest speed to block internal and external perceptions. The Spirit Gathering Array also operated at an increased pace, quickly infusing the nature’s spiritual energy around An Jing.

An Jing observed his own body. At this moment, his True Spirit Blood’s Ancestral Dragon Seed was located in the Jiang Palace of his middle Dantian, slowly sprouting.

The Spirit Roots within his body were also operating at high speed, frantically absorbing the energy of Metal, Wood, Earth elements while gradually forming a basic Five Elements Rotation Formation: Metal generates Water, Water generates Wood, Wood generates Fire. Merely through these three rotations, some Water and Earth Spiritual Fiends were also drawn into An Jing’s body from the surroundings and slowly absorbed by the Ancestral Dragon Seed.

Having absorbed the complete Five Elements Spiritual Energy, the Ancestral Dragon Seed grew more rapidly. The Seed, pure white and nearly translucent, vibrated slightly as rings of rainbow-colored patterns emerged and formed concentric rings, sweeping through An Jing’s limbs and organs, verifying its growth state, then retracting back to the Jiang Palace to form a dazzling sphere of light, madly absorbing the nature’s spiritual energy from all directions.

If it were anywhere else in Tianyuan Realm, there likely wouldn’t be so much safe and pure spiritual energy for An Jing to absorb, but under the support of Tianyuan Realm’s Heavenly Dao, along with the Spirit Gathering Array activated by Huo Qing, there was an abundance of spiritual energy!

Within the shining glow of spiritual energy, it began to grow rapidly — in just the blink of an eye, one black and one red sprout shot forth.

"Spirit Roots!"

Using the Son of Heaven Method to fine-tune the operation of Spiritual Power within his body, trying to achieve a balanced Primordial state of the Five Elements, An Jing concentrated all his mental energy, noticing the changes in the Ancestral Dragon Seed in his Jiang Palace at the first instance.

He exclaimed joyfully: "Water and Fire Spirit Roots!"

"But they are growing from the Jiang Palace? It seems they’ll spread all the way to the Purple Mansion."

"Indeed."

Subdue Evil also concentrated intently on the scene, His main form was mostly Immortal Sword, not understanding much about people, let alone Heavenly Mandate.

However, He still discerned some clues: "The essence of this Ancestral Dragon Seed is essentially transmutation from your Jiang Palace, serving as the foundation of your physical body. Once these two Spirit Roots join in your Purple Mansion, uniting with your heart and spirit, then you truly become a Dao body of the Five Elements Perfection, which are nearly or actually Heavenly Spirit Roots!"

"This is probably what you inferred as the so-called Seventh Divine Power [Dao Becoming Flesh]! It’s not a Divine Skill that needs to be cultivated, but a result that arises after reaching a certain realm!"

"In this process, it will continue to rotate its power throughout your body with the beating of your heart and the circulation of blood, and after reaching maturity, it will completely transform you into a new type of True Spirit, that is the essence of the Ancestral Dragon."

"At that time, you were both human and the nascent Ancestral Dragon!"

"Truly incredible..."

An Jing also felt it at that moment, his physique was being transformed.

Blood circulates, a large amount of special, extremely high-quality and pure vitality contained within the Ancestral Dragon seed was continuously catalyzing, transforming An Jing’s flesh and blood.

And he also sensed a familiar feeling.

The principle of the Ancestral Dragon seed and the ’Taibai Forbidden Seed’ of the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban are similar. After An Jing converted the Demon Core into the Ancestral Dragon seed, it became a primitive toolbox; as long as he infused Spirit Qi, it would continuously produce roots similar to those in prohibitions, and factors of the Martial Meridian, fundamentally changing An Jing’s physique.

Is it the Ancestral Dragon learning from the White Emperor, or the other way around? Or is it the convergence of different paths of the seventh-tier cultivation technique?

An Jing wasn’t sure, he only knew that his Ancestral Dragon seed was thoroughly initiated. Now, if An Jing went outside and proclaimed himself as a True Spirit Demon, absolutely no demon would dare to refute.

Moreover, the transformation brought by the Ancestral Dragon seed was quite compatible with the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban.

The Prohibitive Law of the Taibai Luminous Godly Ban could indeed provide An Jing with all-around enhancement, achieving nearly a hundred percent reduction in damage, but it slightly lacked in cultivating vitality.

Simply put, it was tough enough, but the regeneration ability was only average; An Jing could pick up a severed hand and reattach it, but couldn’t quickly grow a completely new hand.

However, the vitality brought by the Ancestral Dragon seed was different... An Jing could feel that if he could achieve great success, it would certainly bring his regeneration abilities to a terrifying level.

Even if the regenerated hand lacked the Divine Prohibition, it was still better than having no hand at all.

An Jing’s cultivation was progressing well; the most dangerous moment was actually the initial moment of adjusting the Five Element Spiritual Qi. If not achieved perfectly, the energy overflowing from the Ancestral Dragon seed would backlash within An Jing’s body, leading to significant loss of Qi and blood, just as a common person failing a Martial Meridian breakthrough would suffer from depleted Essence Qi and reduced lifespan.

But An Jing had the Grasping Heavenly Moment, such precision-required challenges were as if nonexistent for him—what operations could be considered ’difficult’ under five times slowed time?

Present World.

Around An Jing, Spirit Qi had thickened into a blue cloud, and this cloud of Spirit Qi undulated with his breathing like water ripples; even just the residual waves made it difficult for Huo Qing to approach, and the vaguely transmitted pressure was even more awe-inspiring.

But at this moment, Huo Qing wasn’t paying attention to these potential dangers; he was just staring wide-eyed at the mysterious and profound formation patterns forming around An Jing, half-visible.

"This... this is..."

He muttered to himself: "Is this a Natural Formation? A naturally formed Primitive Spirit Gathering Array?"

The primitive formations, indeed learned from the natural patterning of the cosmos, although they may have many issues and aren’t as efficient as professional arrays in handling specific situations, they would never contradict or err, and they are the initial basis, from which countless new formations can be derived. They represent the three aspects of the Great Dao that nurtures myriad things and can serve as the cornerstone of a system.

All original Formation Maps are closely guarded secrets of major conglomerates, but now... a brand new, highly versatile Primitive Spirit Gathering Formation Map appeared beside An Jing, containing Five Elements Ying and Yang, being the highest-level Primordial Formation Base.

"A breakthrough in new cultivation would trigger such a powerful Natural Spirit Gathering Formation? How can this be, is he a beloved of the cosmos?"

Huo Qing incredulously lifted his head, looking toward the youth amidst the misty cloud of Spirit Qi: "An Jing..."

"What exactly is your origin?"
