“Earth Spiritual roots!” The phrase was enough to silence everyone present.
In the Qingzhou region, having earth spiritual roots was equivalent to being a peerless genius.
Any one of them would be qualified to become the holy son or daughter of a sect like Huayang Sect.
Even if it was just a five-element spiritual root, it would still be the case.
Moreover, considering the intense, fiery aura emanating from the Spirit Awakening Tower, it was clear that it was not just a five-element spiritual root.
This was even more terrifying.
If she really awakened to such spiritual roots, no matter which sect she went to, she would be treated as a peerless genius and cultivated accordingly.
At that time, Ning Yao and all her friends and family would rise to prominence alongside her.
“This girl, this girl is actually so terrifying?”
Everyone in the scene was stunned, and the first to react was Luo Yuebai.
Of course, Shuang Jiang, who was standing beside him, remained extremely calm from start to finish.
Except for a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth, she showed no signs of shock.
Luo Yuebai muttered to himself, gazing at the Spirit Awakening Tower, his eyes shining with an intense light.
He also had a strong sense of anxiety.
“I was hoping you wouldn’t appear so quickly.”
“But now, come quickly!”
“If we’re late, this little girl might be snatched away!”
After muttering to himself, Luo Yuebai directly pulled out a small insect from his storage bag, which he had received earlier.
After a strange wave of energy, the insects instantly vanished into thin air.
Ordinary cultivators had no way of detecting them.
He did all this in front of Shuangjiang.
Even though he knew Shuang Jiang was likely not an ordinary person, he couldn’t care less at this point.
The small flying insects had just flown out of his hand when, from the corners of the square, some mysterious figures dressed in black robes and wearing conical hats slowly began to approach the Spirit Awakening Tower.
They didn’t attract the attention of the surrounding cultivators.
After all, most people were still reeling from the shock of Ning Yao having earth spiritual roots.
Su Jingzhen’s expression was also extremely solemn at this time.
However, compared to others, he was relatively calm, and what excited and worried him was the yellow light emanating from the Spirit Awakening Tower, which was still extremely intense.
It seemed as though this was still not Ning Yao’s limit.
At the same time, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.
As a transmigrator, he had been a complete failure with a five-element spiritual root before awakening his Golden Finger.
And yet, his own disciple had turned out to be a peerless genius in the cultivation world.
It was truly amusing.
As the light on the Spirit Awakening Tower reached its strongest point, it was unclear whether a fourth color would appear.
Suddenly, a moist aura appeared in the void above the Spirit Awakening Tower.
The energy in the void suddenly condensed into a massive water droplet shape.
“It’s an attribute!”
“It’s actually condensed into a complete vision, and it’s a water attribute!”
“I don’t know if other attributes will appear. If it’s really a single attribute, it will be even more unbelievable!”
“A single attribute of earth spiritual roots is unimaginable, and it will cause a huge sensation!”
“……”
The people in the scene were once again shocked and muttering to themselves.
Each face was filled with extreme excitement.
They knew they were about to witness a miracle.
As the crowd discussed, the water droplet anomaly on the Spirit Awakening Tower remained, showing no signs of dispersing or condensing into a second attribute.
“Is this… is this really a single-attribute earth spiritual roots?”
“No, it’s even possible that it’s the legendary heavenly spiritual roots!”
“……”
The water droplet anomaly lingered, and the expressions of the surrounding people changed once again.
Those like Chen Chong and Yan Xia, who had a grudge against Su Jingzhen, turned pale, their hearts filled with fear and anxiety.
As for Chen Jinshi, who stood opposite Su Jingzhen, his body began to tremble, and his eyes took on a reddish hue.
There was a hint of madness in his eyes, but he was still struggling internally.
He knew that spiritual roots of this level would be extremely valued by Huayang Sect.
As soon as the sect master and others came down from Clear Wind Mountain, they would immediately take Ning Yao in and make her a direct disciple.
Even the sect master would take her as a personal disciple.
It was impossible to hide the jealousy.
The intention to destroy Ning Yao was getting stronger and stronger.
But Chen Jinshi was also afraid that if he did so, he would be punished by Huayang Sect.
He gazed fixedly at Ning Yao in the Spirit Awakening Tower, then looked at Su Jingzhen in front of him.
Su Jingzhen’s aura was still only at the second layer of Qi Refining!
Chen Jinshi was very clear that he couldn’t stop him.
“This girl is very close to Su Jingzhen, and I’m already destined to be on the opposite side of them.”
“If she gains power, I’ll be in trouble!”
“If she dies, with my talent, Huayang Sect might punish me, but it won’t be too severe!”
After taking a deep breath, Chen Jinshi made up his mind.
It was still the same phrase: a dead genius is worthless.
Even if Ning Yao awakened to heavenly spiritual roots, what would it matter?
As long as Ning Yao died, Huayang Sect wouldn’t give up on him, and they would still cultivate him as a genius.
Chen Jinshi’s position in Huayang Sect would still be secure.
Thinking this through, the aura of Qi Refining burst out of his body.
He knew that if he didn’t act quickly, he wouldn’t be able to move against Ning Yao later.
“Kill her!”
Once he made up his mind, Chen Jinshi wasn’t one to hesitate.
The aura of Qi Refining circulated to his feet.
He took a step forward, and his entire body was like a great bird swooping towards Su Jingzhen.
The three-meter distance between them was instantly bridged.
Before he could use any spells, the aura of Qi Refining gathered in his palm.
Then, he struck Su Jingzhen’s chest with a palm!
He was confident that with his realm, this palm would be impossible for Su Jingzhen to block.
As for Chen Jinshi’s sudden attack, Su Jingzhen was already prepared.
Seeing Chen Jinshi, a Qi Refiner, choose to attack at close range with a palm, Su Jingzhen’s heart was suddenly filled with joy.
“So arrogant?”
“Let me give you a surprise!”
Su Jingzhen had opened his two secret chambers, and his physical body now had two core areas.
It was like a Qi Refiner’s Dantian, and the blood energy was gathering in his right hand’s Labor Palace acupoint.
Facing Chen Jinshi’s palm, he didn’t dodge, and instead struck out with a palm of his own.
“Boom!”
The two palms clashed, and a massive energy explosion erupted.
Su Jingzhen’s body stumbled back, retreating over ten steps.
The opponent was a Qi Refining grandmaster, and even a casual palm strike had immense power.
Chen Jinshi’s body also stumbled back, retreating over ten steps, almost losing his balance.
His expression was filled with shock.
This palm was meant to kill Su Jingzhen.
However, not only did it not achieve the expected effect, but his right arm also felt a numbness, and his wrist was in severe pain.
It was as if he had suffered some bone fractures.
This clash had put him at a disadvantage, and he couldn’t believe it.
