Chapter 203: Lightning Spiritual Root And Ice Spirit Root, Resonance Achieved
Ming Zhaoshuang sat down cross-legged, digesting the thunder power that remained in her body.
She felt this power darting around inside her, as if eager for her to subdue it, just like countless flames galloped towards Xie Yanning; these thunders also rushed towards her.
This might be a brand new opportunity for her.
After the thunder, the rain and wind intensified.
Drizzle patted Ming Zhaoshuang’s clothes, washing over this fertile land, and the verdant bamboo leaves unfurled, becoming even more lush and renewed.
The rain was gentle, nurturing all things.
Xie Yanning was regulating her breathing, and Ming Zhaoshuang was cultivating. Due to Zhen Hanliu’s Breath Concealing Talisman, the former’s spiritual power was converted into demonic power, so there was no apparent difference between them.
As for Ming Zhaoshuang, although she wore Qingyin, it could only conceal her own aura; her spiritual flow, however, could not be concealed.
The two were slightly surprised.
They had guessed earlier that Ming Zhaoshuang was a Human Race cultivator, and now it seemed to be true.
Yan Ao was about to ask when Wen Ye tugged at his sleeve and said, “Let’s rest first. It wasn’t easy for them to save us.”
After all, their cultivation was lower than theirs, and it was not easy to attract the Huan Bird’s attention, cover their escape, and then escape from the Huan Bird’s attack.
It was already shameless of them to ask these two for the Huan Bird’s Monster Core; how could they question them just because they were Human Cultivators?
Moreover, if they truly hated the Human Race so much, Yan Ao’s goddess would not be a Human Race cultivator.
Therefore, Yan Ao didn’t ask further after hearing him say this.
Instead, he looked towards Jingyan Ridge from the rain curtain, puzzled, and said, “It’s raining here, why hasn’t it rained at Jingyan Ridge?”
Another reason he couldn’t defeat the Huan Bird was that Jingyan Ridge was covered in blazing fire, which was an advantageous condition for the Huan Bird.
He had originally hoped for rain to extinguish this mountain peak, but unexpectedly, the rainwater only drenched the bamboo leaves at the foot of the mountain, while the area above Jingyan Ridge remained clear and without rain.
This made him very frustrated.
Wen Ye said, “The temperature above Jingyan Ridge is high, and there is insufficient water vapor. Although there is thunder, it all moves to the foothills, so it is normal not to have rain.”
Otherwise, if rain could easily destroy the blazing fires of Jingyan Ridge, where would the Huan Bird go?
Having said that, Wen Ye waved his hand and set up a protective shield for Xie Yanning and Ming Zhaoshuang each, so that they wouldn’t catch a cold from the rain.
At this moment, he looked at Qin Feilong unceremoniously, “What are you looking at? Don’t you have any demonic power yourself? Don’t you know how to use it?”
Qin Feilong: “……”
I feel like the whole world is against me.
He sighed and finally set up a protective shield for himself to avoid the rain.
Yan Ao was surprised, “You brat are also Human Race.”
At this moment, Yan Ao became hypocritical again; for a dignified Human Race cultivator to hide behind a woman, it was truly lacking any gentlemanly demeanor.
Although Qin Feilong’s cultivation had only reached the Nascent Soul Stage, he was a grown man.
Qin Feilong glanced at Xie Yanning and Ming Zhaoshuang. He saw that Xie Yanning was surrounded by demonic energy and guessed that she might be a demon, so he snorted, “Junior Sister Zhaoshuang and I are both Human Race. As for that woman, who knows what race she is.”
Xie Yanning was busy regulating her breathing and couldn’t be bothered to pay him any mind.
He could think whatever he wanted; anyway, she wouldn’t voluntarily admit she was Human Race before Zhen Hanliu’s Breath Concealing Talisman wore off.
Thunder roared all night.
Rain pattered all night.
Ming Zhaoshuang felt the thunder power within her body converging towards her Lightning Spiritual Root, constantly refining it, eventually becoming a point for its growth, flowing down like rainwater.
It was sprouting, growing, and slowly extending its branches within the melting ice and snow of spring water.
Daylight broke, and the dawn touched the frost.
The rain suddenly stopped.
Ming Zhaoshuang suddenly raised her eyes and joyfully unleashed a bolt of thunder power towards the bamboo forest beside her!
That bolt of thunder was a faint purple, but the moment it touched the bamboo forest, it turned the entire thing scorched black, severing its branches and leaves, causing fallen leaves to scatter.
Although that thunder brought her pain, after refining it, it greatly nourished her Lightning Spiritual Root.
In other words, she only needed to absorb more thunder and refine more thunder to get rid of the problem of cultivation conflict caused by her Ice Spirit Root constantly suppressing her Lightning Spiritual Root!
Ming Zhaoshuang looked at the spiritual flow in her palm and started laughing.
Qin Feilong, on the other hand, was dumbfounded, “Junior Sister Zhaoshuang, when did you get a Lightning Spiritual Root?”
Having an Ice Spirit Root was already outrageous; now adding a Lightning Spiritual Root made it even more so, didn’t it? Two of the rarest and most powerful spirit roots were in this person, how could one not find it strange?
Moreover, judging by the quality of Ming Zhaoshuang’s spirit roots, it was definitely no less than top-grade!
Ming Zhaoshuang ignored him and instead focused her gaze on the inch-long bamboo leaf that her thunder had previously scraped.
The bamboo leaves fluttered, swaying to the ground with the gentle breeze.
The ground was slightly raised, and it was covered with withered yellow bamboo leaves, still glistening with dewdrops, appearing no different from the rest.
Ming Zhaoshuang’s gaze, however, froze.
After an unknown amount of time, and after thinking about something unknown, she suddenly saw herself quickly walk to the raised mound of earth and extend her jade hand, uncovering the layers of dead leaves on top.
Sharp pain came.
The joy in Ming Zhaoshuang’s eyes was almost irrepressible. She ignored the dirt staining her hands and vigorously dug at the soil, until she completely unearthed the object from the mud.
It was a bamboo shoot.
It was an ordinary-looking bamboo shoot.
But it was precisely this bamboo shoot that made Ming Zhaoshuang’s eyes light up with excitement.
When the harsh winter passed, and the snow melted.
When the spring thunder surged through all things, and the spring rain moistened the earth.
When this bamboo shoot, clad in a light brown coat, glistening with dewdrops, and breaking through the soil like a mountain, appeared before her eyes.
She suddenly knew that all things in heaven and earth nurtured life within this cold ice and snow.
She suddenly knew that all things in heaven and earth moved towards prosperity amidst this cruel thunder.
She suddenly knew the balance and connection hidden between the Ice Spirit Root and the Lightning Spiritual Root.
The ice and snow covered all things, yet left fertile soil for them.
The thunder destroyed life, yet brought down a blessed rain of new life.
The Ice Spirit Root and the Lightning Spiritual Root were both unique favors bestowed by heaven and earth, both the right to destruction and rebirth granted by heaven and earth.
She looked at the new bamboo shoot, her dirty hands caressing its fuzz, feeling its moisture and softness.
She closed her eyes, feeling the breath of life.
Enlightenment, in just a moment.
Everyone could feel that Ming Zhaoshuang’s aura seemed to have changed drastically because of this bamboo shoot.
Her spiritual flow surged, as if she were about to break through the mid-stage of Nascent Soul.
But it slowly calmed down, and she finally stopped at the early Nascent Soul stage.
The crowd might not understand, but the System understood that Ming Zhaoshuang had completely grasped how to convert the relationship between the two spirit roots and found their symbiotic point, which was why this happened.
Her spiritual flow had surged to fill her newly born Lightning Spiritual Root.
Her struggling Lightning Spiritual Root grew wildly in this enlightenment, covering her body like bamboo shoots after rain, transforming her soul.
The Lightning Spiritual Root and the Ice Spirit Root, at this point, achieved resonance.
They no longer conflicted.
It can be said that although she did not break through to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, the development of her Lightning Spiritual Root would definitely not be less than if she had broken through.
