I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Jizhou’s face turned grim.

Especially those high and mighty elders made him feel a sense of powerlessness.

“Hmph, little thief, this young master says he will behead you, and behead you he will – no matter where you escape to!” Shangguan Liuyun sneered at Li Jizhou.

Li Jizhou had finally come to some realization, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

He had cultivated for nearly two hundred years, living alone, being cautious, avoiding danger, believing he could maintain his integrity, step outside of fate. Yet, a small, unexpected matter had drawn him into inescapable trouble, unable to escape the grasp of powerful figures, being at their mercy.

Facing these truly powerful figures, he had not a shred of power to resist.

“Alas!”

Recalling the despair when the Heaven and Earth Cage severed his path, his heart felt some sadness.

“This world, after all, is not as I thought it would be!”

In his previous life, his talent was insufficient, but his ambition was high with a life as fragile as paper, ultimately constrained by resources and met with a bleak end.

In this life his talent was not high, yet he realized mediocrity, acted cautiously, made steady progress, and seeing a promising future, ultimately he was constrained by the Celestial Dao, with no fate to become a Nascent Soul, at this moment falling into dire straits.

“Inquiring about the path to immortality… how difficult it is?”

Fortunately, Li Jizhou had the Reincarnation Treasure Mirror, and in his next life he had already destined an Innate Wood Element Spirit Body, surpassing the Celestial Spirit Root.

In a brief moment of distraction, Ye Jingyu had concisely explained the matter.

Li Jizhou understood the cause and effect, with a hint of smile appearing on his face.

He glanced up at the high seated five ancestors, laughing freely at the end.

“No more repeats… three cups of penalty wine! Hahaha.”

Thus, what need was there for any words?

Weak are prey and strength is corrupted! What is right and wrong?

“All of you, come at me!” Shangguan Liuyun wasted no more time, contemptuously looking at the nine in front, just like three months ago.

The difference was, at this moment the nine had no previous trump cards.

“Kill!” Ye Jingyu was the first to charge forward.

A sword beam filled with killing intent slashed down.

Shangguan Liuyun’s lips curled in disdain, merely waving his hand as his Golden Core Peak magical power condensed a golden light, disdainful even to use a weapon.

“Boom!” Instantly, a loud sound rang out.

Ye Jingyu’s Sword Qi was instantly dispersed by the golden light.

Yet Shangguan Liuyun’s golden light also dispersed without a trace.

The strength was clear to see.

After all, Shangguan Liuyun was at the Golden Core Peak, his magical power’s might and refinement were many times superior to Ye Jingyu’s Late Stage of True Core.

And the Spirit Treasure Sword Ye Jingyu obtained from the Fire Domain was somewhat damaged, and years ago it was further crippled by Shangguan Liuyun, by now its spiritual treasure might had already fallen.

“Together!” Yu Ziyu and others spoke simultaneously, all brandishing their weapons.

This moment was vastly different from that moment.

Three months ago, they were hinted by the powerful figures and granted trump cards to deal with Shangguan Liuyun.

But at this moment, the situation was crystal clear, Shangguan Liuyun wanted their heads to eradicate his Heart Demon.

Furthermore, with Shangguan Qingming high above, they were destined with no entrance to heaven, no path to earth.

They were very aware, even if they could kill Shangguan Liuyun, Shangguan Qingming would also act,

So Shangguan Liuyun couldn’t die, they surely would.

The only thing they could do was to leave an indelible Heart Demon on Shangguan Liuyun before death.

This was their greatest act.

“Boom boom boom~” Everyone understood this, and at the moment they stood out, they already had determination.

So, at this moment none held any fears, fearless of life and death!

Li Jizhou was the same, having been cautious for a lifetime, at this moment he had no reservation.

In the Late Stage of Golden Core, his magical power surged forth,

The power refined over years did not hold back,

And he brought out all of the top-grade spiritual artifacts from his storage bag.

Shangguan Liuyun originally with bare hands, now had to bring out a third-grade spiritual treasure to counter.

With the third-grade spiritual treasure in hand, along with his Golden Core Peak magical power, and specifically with the Immortal Scripture inherited from the Shangguan Immortal Race, he barely coped with the nine-person siege.

The battle was intense below, and above, the faces of the five powerful figures did not remain calm.

“Not just Golden Core… clearly it’s already touching the immortal!”

After Li Jizhou’s aura fully erupted, the five ancestors did not need to examine closely, instantly sensing something unusual.

“How is this possible?” The heavenly talents behind the five ancestors simultaneously changed color.

They are the heavenly talents of the five top forces in the Central Domain, their talents and heritage inheritance should be incomparable, their cultivation resources from a young age, nurturing treasures, and all cultivation techniques were beyond comparison.

The investigation on Li Jizhou’s files had long come to results, he was indeed just a loose cultivator.

That he could achieve Golden Core was already far exceeded expectations.

After all, records from the Golden Sun Sect were conclusive, his talent was lower grade, the highest spirit root response was in the Fire Element.

Yet now, cultivating Wood Element techniques, forming Golden Core, his current situation undoubtedly confirmed by the five ancestors touched immortal!

If it weren’t for the five ancestors affirming it, it was practically absurd!

“What opportunity does this child have?” Shen Haoyu’s eyes were even more fervent.

Simultaneously, several people began sending messages to their family’s ancestors about Li Jizhou’s information.

Instantly, the five ancestors simultaneously changed color.

Lower-grade Spirit Root, condensing Immortal Golden Core?

Completely exceeding the limitations of this world.

Now, Li Jizhou drew all the attention of the five ancestors.

“Could Wood Elemental technique have such refined magical power? Not inferior to Liuyun’s power at all.”

“No, Brother Zou, how is this child’s cultivation technique compared to your ’Hundred Rounds Immortal Skill’?” Shangguan Qingming asked, sensing a moment, turned his head to the ancestor of Taihao Sacred Land.

With his vision, looking over the entire Celestial Profound Continent, for Wood Element cultivation techniques to be practiced to such refined strength, only a rare few were this sharp and formidable.

Across the Eastern Desolation, only one.

That was the supreme secret technique of Taihao Sacred Land, only each generation’s direct heir, the Saint Heir, qualified to practice, and not all were successful.

Shen Haoyu as the current Saint Heir did not succeed.

However, what he didn’t notice was that at this moment, the ancestor of Taihao Sacred Land was already overjoyed.

His breath grew rapid, his heart greatly pleased: “Heavens aid me, truly no road is blocked!”

Nonetheless, on the surface, he merely let out a cold snort: “Hmph! This little thief actually stole my Sacred Land’s sacred technique, Brother Shangguan, spare this child’s life, I want to take him back to the Sacred Land to investigate the source of the leak of sacred technique, to demonstrate justice!”

Shangguan Qingming was surprised by this, glancing at him: “Is this truly your Sacred Land’s technique? Don’t tell me there’s a relation?”

“No, the old me has no relation with him, suspecting a connection with our Sacred Land’s traitor Evergreen from years past.” Taihao Ancestor shook his head.

“Evergreen? The Saint Heir who defected from the Sacred Land over a thousand years ago? Founder of Wuxiang Sect?” The other ancestors couldn’t help but ask in surprise.

Regarding past matters, Taihao Sacred Land had always been tight-lipped, even strictly prohibiting discussion.

Unexpectedly, today it was brought up voluntarily.
