Chapter 698: Chapter 294: Fire Spirit Root Awakening

This was the first time Chu Lingguang had killed disciples of another sect with his Telekinesis outside the Profound Celestial Sect.

Surrounded by Cyan Cloud Sect disciples, he felt no fear. Instead, a wave of excitement spread through him, stimulating the power of his Mental Realm.

Of the seven hundred and sixty-three responding powers, he had already successfully awakened seventy-three. These seventy-three awakened powers allowed his Spiritual Root to resonate with his Gold Spiritual Power, letting him easily conjure waves of Wind Blades.

As the Cyan Cloud Sect disciples drew near, Chu Lingguang once again stirred his Gold Spiritual Power. A sky full of Wind Blades, like guided torrents of light, swept toward them.

At the same time, the force of the wind propelled him forward, allowing him to accelerate his Sword Flight and speed into the distance.

The remaining six hundred and ninety responses began to stir restlessly, stimulated by Chu Lingguang’s excitement and battle frenzy. ’Who would have thought,’ he mused, ’that slaughter and danger could actually trigger the awakening of my powers?’

Enveloped by his powerful Telekinesis, Chu Lingguang saw one hundred and eight of the responses begin to vibrate at a common frequency. If he could just grasp this frequency, he could awaken their power.

’Perhaps then my Spiritual Root will be able to resonate with powers other than my Gold Spiritual Power, allowing my Spirit Root Attribute to be upgraded again.’

’I could have a Dual Spiritual Root, just like others, giving me a huge advantage in my cultivation.’

And so, Chu Lingguang focused on that shared frequency, attempting to awaken those one hundred and eight responses while simultaneously fleeing into the distance at top speed.

He could sense the Cyan Cloud Sect disciples flying in from all directions.

The encirclement was about to close.

He unleashed a pulse of his Telekinesis, forcing his way through a gap in the closing encirclement and flying toward a large mountain in the distance.

"Why haven’t I seen any other Profound Celestial Sect disciples?"

Chu Lingguang wondered.

"After him!"

"His Telekinesis is incredible! If he’s allowed to develop, he’ll become a disaster for us."

"We have to kill him!"

"A Telekinesis Master is bound to have a lot of treasures."

The Cyan Cloud Sect disciples clamored, watching as Chu Lingguang flew toward the distant mountain forest. They gave chase, refusing to let him go.

Some even burned Talismans, streaking through the air toward Chu Lingguang at an astonishing speed as if riding a line of fire.

’What kind of Magic Technique is that?’

’This is no good. At this rate, they’ll catch me sooner or later.’

Chu Lingguang felt powerful auras closing in from behind.

He glanced back and saw two seventh-layer Qi Refining disciples from the Cyan Cloud Sect riding on trails of fire, followed by a dozen more cultivators at the fifth and sixth layers.

’If I were facing just those two seventh-layer Qi Refining cultivators,’ Chu Lingguang thought, ’I’d dare to fight them head-on. Even if my Magic Techniques are lacking, I could make up for it with my Telekinesis.’

But with so many Cyan Cloud Sect disciples behind them, and their numbers seemingly growing, Chu Lingguang didn’t dare to stop.

A moment later, he spotted a cave in the side of the distant mountain and immediately flew toward it.

’When I get back to the Profound Celestial Sect, I have to find Steward Zhou or Elder Yang and ask for some Magical Techniques and Divine Abilities. Elder Yang has always wanted to be my master, right? Gifting me a few Cultivation Techniques shouldn’t be a problem!’

Chu Lingguang lamented his lack of Magical Techniques and Divine Abilities. Otherwise, as a proper Eighth-Layer Qi Refining cultivator with the boost from his fifth-order Telekinesis, how could he be getting chased down by a group of Cyan Cloud Sect disciples who were all weaker than him?

WHOOSH!

He spread his Spiritual Sense into the cave.

His Telekinesis cleared the path ahead.

He shot into the cave.

"Hm?"

’Someone’s here!’

’Someone from the Profound Celestial Sect!’

As he entered the cave, Chu Lingguang detected the aura of a Practitioner inside.

As his Telekinesis spread inside, he got a clear look at the person’s figure.

It was a Female Cultivator dressed in the robes of the Profound Celestial Sect.

"Senior Sister! People from the Cyan Cloud Sect are trying to kill me,"

Chu Lingguang said urgently.

He could sense that this Female Cultivator’s cultivation level was quite high. If they joined forces, the group of Cyan Cloud Sect disciples chasing him would be no threat at all.

"Huh? This..."

But when he got further inside,

Chu Lingguang was dumbfounded.

He had been fleeing so quickly that his Spiritual Sense hadn’t managed to get a full scan of her. Now that he was standing right in front of her, he could see a Flying Sword impaled in her abdomen.

She was leaning against the wall, her face pale and her aura faint. In her current state, the power she could muster was far less than his own.

"I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to drag you into this,"

Chu Lingguang said apologetically.

"I’ll lead them away."

He turned to leave.

"It’s too late,"

the woman said weakly.

"Quick, throw this Talisman at the entrance."

The woman handed Chu Lingguang a golden Talisman.

"Oh, okay."

Chu Lingguang took the Talisman, moved to the center of the cave, activated it with his Spiritual Power, and threw it toward the entrance.

VMMMM!

A golden Talismanic Barrier materialized at the mouth of the cave.

BANG! BANG!

The two Cyan Cloud Sect disciples riding the power of their fiery Talismans crashed right into the curtain of light and were thrown back.

"It blocked them!"

Overjoyed, Chu Lingguang ran back to the woman and exclaimed.

"There are too many of them. The Talisman will only last for half a day,"

the woman said weakly.

"Then what do we do? What about your injury?"

Chu Lingguang began to panic. He had experience treating wounded soldiers at Wolf Valley Pass, but the woman’s injury was caused by a Flying Sword. It had pierced her abdomen and couldn’t be healed by mortal means.

"Stand guard for me. Don’t let anyone disturb me,"

the woman struggled to say.

"Okay."

Chu Lingguang nodded.

"What’s your name? Why haven’t I seen you in the sect before?"

the woman asked, still wary.
