Gift from the Immortal Master (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2 Chapter 757: 318: Finished Spiritual Root!
Gift from the Immortal Master (Seeking Monthly Tickets)_2 The only possible reason for such actions could be that the Infernal Ghost Monarch is in an abnormal state, and besides ‘hunting’ in this manner, there are no other options.
If he is compelled to act this way, only through this method can redemption been obtained.
This explanation is plausible.
“So, the Demon Star’s final words were simply threats.”
If this damn Infernal Ghost Monarch could retaliate at any time, he wouldn’t need to set a bait here, it seems more like he is trapped here…”
Having clarified this, Chen Dengming felt more at ease.
Since it’s a move out of desperation, then clearly besides the force that just invaded his spirit, the Infernal Ghost Monarch has no other means.
...
He has run out of tricks, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been destroyed by Demon Star.
Now, by using his Martial Immortal Incarnation to further investigate the bodies littered on the ground, Chen Dengming made a basic judgment.
The deceased bodies seem to belong to different eras; their robes are not the same.
There are also three commonalities: First, there is no Spiritual Might on the bodies, proving that none were Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators in their lifetime.
Second, they seem to have suffered extreme pain before death, as signs of struggle are evident on the bodies.
Third, they all lack Storage Bags.
“Why are there no Storage Bags to be found?
Could this Infernal Ghost Monarch have taken the deceased’s Storage Bags to the Nether Spring?”
Chen Dengming wonders, “Furthermore, it seems the goal of the Infernal Ghost Monarch is not to snatch the bodies, but simply to murder them and perform Spirit Fusion Seizing Base Skill.”
If the aim is just to kill, judging by the power exhibited by the Infernal Ghost Monarch earlier, these Cultivators below the Nascent Soul Stage aren’t likely to have a chance to struggle in agony.
The only logical explanation is that their Spiritual Root was taken away.
But why would someone who at least reached Divine Transformation stage and was given serious consideration by Demon Star, set the bait and take the Spiritual Root of weaker people?
Reaching Divine Transformation stage proves that he is not a Cultivator of low Spiritual Root abilities.
He must at least have high-grade Spiritual Root capabilities.
At this level, all Spiritual Roots are more or less the same, their strength also does not make a significant difference.
Chen Dengming feels there are many questions left unanswered.
But it seems that the “Melting Spirit Base Stealing Skill” is indeed real.
The information recorded on the jade token revealed that this skill could extract the Spiritual Root of others and then combine them with their own Spiritual Root, causing changes in the quality and even the attributes of their Spiritual Root.
The two crystal spheres in the eye sockets of the corpses earlier were successfully refined Spiritual Roots using the “Melting Spirit Base Stealing Skill”.
This was the reason for his excitement and even temptation before.
The conflict of Twin Spiritual Roots has been a defect that has troubled him for many years.
If he could change the attributes of the Spiritual Root and solve the issue of the conflicting Twin Spiritual Roots, he would be a truly high-grade top-level Spiritual Root.
He wouldn’t need to use the Soul Snatching Array, his cultivation speed would increase by at least 50%.
…
Not long after.
The Heavenly Immortal Incarnation that he dispatched also arrived at the seabed.
After the Heavenly Immortal Incarnation deploys Heavenly Vision, he quickly observed that the dozen or so corpses lying on the ground belonged to Cultivators from different eras, as indicated by varying degrees of age marks on their bodies.
Also, upon examining their bone age, there were old and young.
The oldest should be over six hundred years old, the youngest around seventy years old.
“Cultivators from different eras were attracted into this ruin while exploring the deep sea, their Spiritual Root taken away, they died here…I almost became one of them.
Indeed, the snake catcher died at the snake’s mouth.
I was unable to resist the temptation of the Melting Spirit Base Stealing Skill due to my own Spiritual Root defect, and almost lost my Spiritual Root…”
Chen Dengming sighed in his heart, then commanded the two Incarnations to probe around the ruin for a long time.
Upon confirming that the power of the Infernal Ghost Monarch has thoroughly dissipated, he ordered the Martial Immortal Incarnation to take away the two artificial Spiritual Roots.
He also commanded the Heavenly Immortal Incarnation to note down the map patterns on the robes of the bodies.
He actually wanted to take these robes as well, they seemed extraordinary, possibly at least of the fourth or fifth grade.
However, these kinds of personal robes, might have been imbued with some Divine Consciousness Brand.
He dares not risk taking them.

If he did, the Infernal Ghost Monarch might indeed track him down.
He decided to record the patterns on the robes, and later inform his senior sister about it, letting her figure it out.
…
Half a day passes.
Chen Dengming first set up the Array of the Far-Reaching Spirit Eye at the depths of the sea to monitor and track the situation.
Then, controlling his Martial Immortal Incarnation, he hid one of the crystal balls in a secluded location several thousand miles away from the seabed.
He set up another formation to protect and conceal it, so as to prevent others from plucking the fruit.
With all this hustle, he only felt as if he had returned to the state of being a Loose Cultivator when he used to hide Spirit Crystals everywhere.
Only this time, what he hid were refined Spiritual Roots.
These could enhance the Spiritual Root abilities or change their attributes by merging them with his own Spiritual Roots; these were priceless treasures that even top-grade Spirit Crystals couldn’t compare to.
But this treasure might not be safe yet, he needed to observe further for some time.
If after ten years or so, the Infernal Ghost Monarch has not come looking for the two refined Spiritual Roots, then it would prove – with a high likelihood – that these two refined Spiritual Roots do not have any traps.
During this time, while cultivating, he would also use the other crystal ball to study the “Melting Spirit Base Stealing Skill” carefully.
As for the other crystal ball that emits white light and appears to be a golden attribute refined Spiritual Root, Chen Dengming’s plan was to take it to one of the incense believers.
He would select a believer with lower Spiritual Root abilities to try fusing the refined Spiritual Root into their Spiritual Root using the “Melting Spirit Base Stealing Skill”.
Then he would observe the changes secretly.
