I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life

As Li Jizhou fully absorbed his Innate Wisdom, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes amidst his various joys.

In his past life, numerous achievements, especially disguising himself to avoid disasters, fleeing, and even sensing infinite vitality and life span, were all thanks to the special effects of the complete Evergreen Skill.

Li Jizhou held deep gratitude for the Evergreen Skill, as its longevity characteristics perfectly aligned with his pursuit of the long road to immortality.

Therefore, in his previous life, he had already planned to make the Evergreen Skill the core cultivation technique for proving the Dao and achieving immortality.

However, now, seeing the rating of the Reincarnation Treasure Mirror for the Cyan Emperor Creation Skill, and recalling the reaction of the Taihao Sacred Land to his cultivation of the Evergreen Skill in his past life, he hesitated.

The two cultivation techniques he obtained back in the Moon Worship Dynasty’s ruins, the Cyan Emperor Creation Skill and the Guanghan Skill, were still imprinted in his sea of consciousness.

The Guanghan Skill was undoubtedly the technique practiced by the Moon Worship Immortal Monarch during ascension, a true immortal scripture that could lead to ascension.

And the Cyan Emperor Creation Skill was even higher-tier than that.

This was enough to indicate that this cultivation technique could also lead to ascension.

Thinking of this, Li Jizhou’s spiritual sense naturally delved in.

The Guanghan Skill completely blocked Li Jizhou’s spiritual sense.

It was likely because he no longer had An Liuli’s bloodline aura and was repelled.

He then delved into the Cyan Emperor Creation Skill.

When he first obtained this cultivation technique, with his middle-grade Wood Spirit Root talent and his late stage of Core Formation divine sense probing in, he was blocked, unable to grasp it.

But at this moment, Li Jizhou, with his Wood Spirit Body, successfully delved in.

A verdant brilliance slowly spread out,

the five large characters of Cyan Emperor Creation Skill appeared before his eyes.

A moment later,

“This is the supreme immortal scripture!” Li Jizhou withdrew his spiritual sense from the technique’s imprint, unable to conceal his excitement on his face.

The cultivation methods of the Cyan Emperor Creation Skill and the complete Evergreen Skill were almost opposed.

The Evergreen Skill emphasized calmness and patience, like a gentle stream flowing slowly. It relied on the cycles of time to temper and refine, ultimately cultivating Eternal Spring Magical Power that was long-lasting and endless, benefiting longevity, and it had almost no barriers to entry.

The Cyan Emperor Creation Skill, on the other hand, emphasized the excellence of thriving in the forest, fiercely competing for sunlight and rain, making rapid progress. However, compared to the Evergreen Skill, the Cyan Emperor Creation Skill required an extremely high threshold, being only cultivable by those with the Innate Wood Spirit Body.

Li Jizhou understood this very well; without exceptional talent, striving for the path ahead would result in swift demise even before any success, not to mention outrunning others.

Only those with extremely high talent were suitable to strive for the lead, making rapid progress at every step.

Conversely, possessing high talent without utilizing it and striving for the lead was tantamount to squandering the opportunity.

The Evergreen Skill could extend longevity, cultivating to its utmost to achieve timeless vitality.

The Cyan Emperor Creation Skill, however, led to robust immortality, culminating in the creation of the Cyan Emperor Longevity Body!

Timeless vitality merely meant a prolonged life span, while the Cyan Emperor Longevity Body embodied rebirth from a single drop of blood, undying and indestructible!

The strength between them was clear at a glance!

“Cyan Emperor Longevity Body!” Li Jizhou unconsciously clenched his fists, already having made his decision.

Competing for the path ahead did not contradict his past life’s cautious cultivation principles.

Without enough talent, circumstances beyond one’s control, being cautious and careful was considered stable.

But with exceptional talent and ample resources, being in one’s rightful place was deemed stable.

As the seventh son of the Jiuli Emperor, he was inherently talented and could shine above others to receive greater protection and resource investment, making any ill-intentioned individuals wary.

“Your Highness, Eunuch Yang has arrived.”

At this moment, a palace maid came to report from outside the hall.

“Let him… I will personally welcome him!” Li Jizhou instinctively spoke with a cold and proud voice but then softened his tone, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

In this life, Li Jizhou was born with the Innate Wood Spirit Body, deeply cherished by the Jiuli Emperor, and his mother, Consort Zhen, was further promoted to Noble Consort due to his status, her dignity rising with her son’s.

From a young age, he enjoyed much respect and held himself with pride, looking down on everything due to the Jiuli Emperor’s indulgence,

Yet five years later, the Jiuli Emperor had a ninth son, born with an Anomalous Spirit Root and possessing the Myriad Law Thunder Spirit Body, who quickly gained prominence due to the Jiuli Dynasty’s association with the number nine, standing out tremendously for a time.

Additionally, three years ago, the legitimate eldest son, now the Crown Prince of the Jiuli Dynasty, condensed an Immortal Golden Core using a Fire Element Celestial Spirit Root, achieving the seventeenth-ranked Golden Core domain in the world—Golden Crow Illuminates Nine Heavens!

This revelation caused a sensation across the Central State and all its nine dynasties, with Sacred Lands from various regions coming to celebrate!

Li Jizhou’s favor diminished by sixty percent, leading to his increasingly cold and somewhat ruthless nature.

However, that was all in the past.

Now that Li Jizhou had awakened his Innate Wisdom, naturally steady and balanced, he would no longer act as he did before.

“Greetings, Seventh Prince!”

“Eunuch Yang, rise, please!”

Yang Yuanfu, the newly appointed eunuch serving in front of the Jiuli Emperor, noticed the welcoming demeanor of Li Jizhou and slightly changed his expression.

Seeing the genuine hospitality, Yang paused for a moment.

Rumors within the palace described the Seventh Prince as cold and arrogant, difficult to serve, requiring careful politeness.

“Your Highness is too kind to this servant, I was just sent to inform Your Highness that the enthronement ceremony has been postponed from midday to the afternoon.” Eunuch Yang hurriedly kneeled, not daring to lift his head.

“Oh?” Li Jizhou raised his eyebrow slightly, maintaining a composed expression, followed by a gentle nod: “I understand, thank you, Eunuch Yang.”

“No need, thank you… Your Highness, I would now return to report?” Yang Yuanfu was again taken aback.

This scene was entirely different from what he had anticipated.

Postponing the enthronement ceremony was an unprecedented routine.

For a prince, the enthronement ceremony was the most grandiose event post-Qi Sensing’s completion.

Not only would he be granted a title with fiefdom, but it also served as a coming-of-age ceremony.

Three years after enfeoffment, unless deliberately decreed otherwise by the Saint Emperor, the prince would proceed to the fiefdom and could not return to the Imperial City without imperial summons.

This marked a complete withdrawal from the hope of competing for the Crown Prince position.

If the prince was cared for by the Saint Emperor, the enthronement ceremony would never be ignored under normal circumstances.

Postponement today left outsiders perceiving the Seventh Prince as having clearly lost favor.

For someone as coldly proud as the Seventh Prince, this should have been a severe blow, tempting him to fly into a raging fit.

Yang Yuanfu had prepared to bear any unforeseen calamity when he accepted this task.

Yet his response was excessively calm.

Retreating slowly, Yang Yuanfu quickly pondered.

As he was about to turn away, he suddenly stopped, providing further explanation: “Your Highness, the reason for today’s delay is due to an envoy arriving from the Cangming Dynasty, with the Dragon Aspect advocating a negotiation with His Majesty on the matter of peace between the two nations, which is of significant importance, thus…”

Li Jizhou was slightly surprised and nodded towards Yang Yuanfu: “Someone, generously reward him!”

Soon, a maid appeared carrying a tray adorned with ten middle-grade Spirit Stones, their lustrous radiance overflowed.

“Thank you, Your Highness, thank you!” Yang Yuanfu expressed his joy ecstatically.

Watching Yang Yuanfu depart, Li Jizhou stood quietly before the garden, contemplating his current situation.

The Dynasty possessed ample resources, but they were firmly controlled by the Saint Emperor. As a prince, one could only have what the Saint Emperor allowed, and if the Saint Emperor denied it, one could not possess it!
