Chapter 188: Innate Lightning Spiritual Root!
His figure dispersed, leaving behind a cold afterglow.
Ming Zhaoshuang raised her hand and finally saw what her other innate spirit root looked like.
Deep to dark ink purple, with dots of white light shimmering within.
It was an innate lightning spirit root.
Of course, it was an innate lightning spirit root that had been downgraded to a top-grade lightning spirit root.
It had not undergone cultivation, and the spiritual power it could release was extremely weak, like a wisp of purple flame in Ming Zhaoshuang’s palm that could be extinguished at any moment.
Ming Zhaoshuang’s golden core was even pure white all over, with no trace of this spirit root to be found.
Seeing this, the System exclaimed, “It’s actually an innate lightning spirit root! An innate ice spirit root is already extremely rare, but an innate lightning spirit root has not appeared since ancient times!”
This is truly unbelievable!
The System had originally thought that Ming Zhaoshuang’s other spirit root would be a common five-element spirit root. After all, having an extremely rare innate ice spirit root was already astonishing enough, but it never expected her to have an even rarer innate lightning spirit root.
No wonder the Heavenly Dao was so afraid.
Ming Zhaoshuang extinguished the spiritual flow in her palm and asked, “What’s so special about an innate lightning spirit root?”
“It’s extremely special!”
The System said enthusiastically, “You should know that lightning spirit roots are extremely rare, just like ice spirit roots and wind spirit roots. Since ancient times, innate spirit roots of the common five elements appear roughly once every ten thousand years, ice and wind spirit roots once every twenty to thirty thousand years, but for lightning spirit roots, not a single innate one has appeared!”
“I once thought that innate lightning spirit roots would never appear in this world! Because the main way the Heavenly Dao punishes people is through heavenly thunder, for a lightning spirit root, this is not tribulation crossing, but picking up opportunities!”
“For ordinary lightning spirit roots, the Nirvana Heavenly Thunder that the Heavenly Dao uses for ascension might still be useful, as the thunder’s attribute reaches its extreme, capable of suppressing ordinary lightning spirit roots. But for an innate lightning spirit root, even the Nirvana Heavenly Thunder would be useless, only becoming nourishment for your continuous progress!”
She knew why the Heavenly Dao had tampered with the lightning tribulations of Ming Zhaoxue and others, but not with Ming Zhaoshuang’s, allowing her to directly advance after enduring the heavenly thunder like an ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
It turned out that the Heavenly Dao dared not!
The more it wanted to tamper, the stronger Ming Zhaoshuang’s innate lightning spirit root would become!
Ming Zhaoshuang, as expected of someone who could slay the Heavenly Dao within the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Formation, was able to enjoy such excessive favoritism from heaven and earth.
Ming Zhaoshuang looked at her palm and asked, “You mean, from now on, I don’t have to be afraid of heavenly thunder anymore.”
I can even casually block heavenly thunder for others to enhance my own strength.
“More or less! Of course, it’s best not to have too much of a gap, otherwise your innate spirit root might not be able to withstand it.”
The System chattered on, “You might not know, but Feng He suffered greatly from this Nirvana Heavenly Thunder when she fought the Heavenly Dao. The Nirvana Heavenly Thunder heavily injured Feng He and also suppressed the recovery speed of Feng He’s innate wood spirit.”
“That’s why Feng He couldn’t defeat him. Otherwise, with the Heavenly Dao’s amateurish kung fu, how could they be a match for Feng He.”
Ming Zhaoshuang chuckled, finding this system surprisingly cute.
She agreed with the System, “You’re right, it’s indeed not a match for Feng He.”
She had also learned the latter half of Feng He’s Number One Sword Technique Under Heaven recently and increasingly felt that Feng He indeed had something in the Way of Swordsmanship, truly deserving of the title “Number One Under Heaven.”
However, the more she studied, the more she felt something was wrong.
It was that sense of difficulty that made her feel she wasn’t suited to learning this sword technique.
It seemed that, as the System had said, those who did not cultivate the Path of All Living Beings simply could not grasp the essence of this sword technique.
But what should her path be?
And could she, from this sword technique, comprehend her own sword technique?
Fei Changxiu and Ming Chenxing could both comprehend sword techniques, so why couldn’t she!
Ming Zhaoshuang thought, and her blood inexplicably began to boil. She also wanted to create her own sword technique!
The System, naturally unaware that Ming Zhaoshuang’s thoughts had drifted so far, continued to speak:
“I’m not entirely sure how much heavenly thunder you can withstand, but what’s certain is that the Heavenly Dao’s abilities are constrained by heaven and earth. Even if it wants to tamper with heavenly thunder, it won’t exceed a certain limit. Once it exceeds it, it will be weakened itself.”
It’s like the Divine Tool heavenly thunder of Ming Zhaoxue, did the Heavenly Dao not want to strike?
It dared not strike! It could not strike!
When Ming Zhaoxue ascended, the Heavenly Dao had already violated the rules of heaven and earth, unleashing over two hundred Nirvana Heavenly Thunders on him, greatly weakening itself.
How could it possibly violate the rules of heaven and earth again in a short period and use heavenly thunder to execute Ming Zhaoxue.
Ming Zhaoxue had calculated this point, which is why he rushed to finish the Mountain River Brush, to prevent the Heavenly Dao from recovering its strength and causing trouble again.
“And within these limits, it’s impossible for it to strike you to death. Therefore, you don’t need to worry at all, and can even welcome the Heavenly Dao’s strikes! The more severe, the better!”
It can be said that Ming Zhaoshuang is simply the perfect candidate to oppose the Heavenly Dao!
Upon hearing this, Ming Zhaoshuang couldn’t help but laugh, “That’s why I said, unsealing this seal is definitely more beneficial than harmful to me.”
“I’m young, I’m not afraid!”
It was possible that for the next year or two, her cultivation would be stuck at the early Nascent Soul stage due to cultivating this lightning spirit root, but she wasn’t afraid; rather, she felt content.
After all, having an extra attribute would always be better than a single-attribute spirit root in combat.
Cultivation cannot be rushed; as long as she walks steadily forward, she will have everything she desires.
The System also chuckled, “But you should also note that Feng He was able to cultivate both spirit roots well because the wind spirit root and wood spirit root are symbiotic. Especially since the wood spirit root is very gentle, rather than conflicting with the wind spirit root, it tends to embrace it, thus Feng He could easily solve this problem.”
“But the ice spirit root and lightning spirit root are different. Both spirit roots are of the offensive type, they don’t get along at all and have many conflicts. You must be very careful when cultivating.”
However, Ming Zhaoshuang said, “But I don’t think so. The ice spirit root is infinitely close to white, and the lightning spirit root is infinitely close to black. Black and white give birth to each other, and yin and yang complete each other. Who can say there isn’t a factor of transformation between them?”
In fact, the most suitable spirit root to coexist with an ice spirit root is water, but she believed that since heaven and earth had given birth to her, Ming Zhaoshuang, and given her this innate ice spirit root and innate lightning spirit root, it meant they were not in opposition.
It was even possible that they were coexisting to a greater extent.
