Chapter 781: 327: Spiritual Root Changed!
Trapped Dragon Ascends to Heaven, Golden Scales Turn into Dragon_3 Chapter 781: 327: Spiritual Root Changed!
Trapped Dragon Ascends to Heaven, Golden Scales Turn into Dragon_3 Chen Dengming opened his eyes, feeling as though the world before him had somehow changed.
He wasn’t sure if it was just psychological.
All he knew was that his surroundings seemed to have gotten clearer all of a sudden.
He could sense the misty Water Spirit Qi rising from the distant sea, the changes in the Water Spirit Qi stirred by the sea breeze.
None of these escaped his now amplified Spiritual Root, everything was kept within his grasp, and none was overlooked.
...
Off to his side, a surge of potent Water Spirit Qi attracted his attention.
He turned to look.
At the same time, the Incarnation of Incense also cast its gaze.
Chen Dengming had a thought and checked his panel status.
“Late-stage Golden Core cultivator [Chen Dengming]
Longevity: 123/658/1985
Spiritual Root: Water, Wood (Superior 71/100)…”
“It was indeed successful…
But it seems the finished Water Spirit Root either didn’t have the top-grade affinity, or there were some unknown negative effects during the fusion process, causing a decrease in the affinity for the Spiritual Root.”
While Chen Dengming was pondering this, he wasn’t disturbed.
The decreased affinity was easy to deal with.
He merely had to expend some lifespan cultivating the “Life-Shortening Cultivation Enhancement Skill”, and that would be a solution.
The key was whether, after changing his Spiritual Root, there were any specific changes, and if these changes were harmonious.
!
Chen Dengming started to cast his spell.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh–
Waves on the opposite coast roared and rushed forward.
Acting like tens of thousands of horses standing on their feet with white manes, emanating a strong aura of Water Spirit Qi.
All of a sudden, upon his palm’s command, a large stretch of waves suddenly rose into the air.
Layer upon layer of white waves resembling rows of flying egrets surrounded Chen Dengming.
They created an overflowing aura of spiritual light, with water vapour spreading across, which felt exceptionally refreshing.
This was scenario that simply couldn’t have occurred in the past.
Because Chen Dengming didn’t have Water Spirit Root at all.
His control of Water Spirit Qi was so poor that it was ridiculous to even think of controlling the flow of water purely through controlling the Spirit Qi.
“Condense!”
Chen Dengming cast the spell and instantly executed a high-level “Water Chain Skill”.
In an instant, the surrounding seawater began to flash with spiritual light, making a ‘splash’ sound as it formed numerous water chains.
The water within the chains was flowing at a high speed, and the swaying silver chains made a loud ‘clang’ sound before abruptly whipping out.
“Shh, shh, shh, shh–”
In an instance, trenches were cut open on the beach’s surface, as if a sharp knife had slashed through it.
The extremely sturdy reef in front suddenly shocked.
The lime, accompanying the water flow, scattered in every direction, and the chain of water that was flowing at high speed instantly cut the reef into two halves, leaving a smooth cleave.
Chen Dengming then quickly adjusted his spell and his eyes flickered with golden light, applying the Gold Touch Skill.
However, the golden Spiritual Energy that normally would rapidly gather from the surrounding air now felt relatively apathetic.
It was slowly and leisurely called forth by Chen Dengming’s will.
Only after half a breath did two golden rays shoot out of his eyes, landing on the beach and transforming some of the particles into metal.
“As the saying goes, local officials have more authority than a higher-level ones huh, in the Cultivation World even the Spirit Qi is so down-to-earth, taking a breath of Spirit Qi without having a Spiritual Root is a sin…
Now, I’m effectively stepping down from the post of being the leader of these Gold Spirit Qi minions.
I’m no longer their boss, which makes it quite difficult to mobilise them.”
Chen Dengming chuckled while reflecting on this.
The Gold Touch Skill he was able to cast with just his gaze in the past can no longer be cast instantaneously.
Besides, it seemed that its power was also weakened by at least forty percent.
This was to be expected, after all, he had now lost his Gold Spirit Root, and this was a superior Gold Spirit Root at that.
Even though he was still able to learn and implement the gold element skills, both the speed of learning and the power of using such skills will be greatly weakened.

However, on the flip side, the speed of learning water element skills and the power of their implementation will be greatly enhanced.
“Whoosh–”
Just then, a flutter of fragrant wind approached, Su Yanyan’s graceful figure dancing with spiritual light as she quickly descended from above.
After landing, she cast her beautiful eyes onto Chen Dengming, showing a trace of inquiry.
“Were you successful?”
“Mm.
I suppose I was successful.
Thank you, Martial Uncle, for protecting me.”
Chen Dengming nodded, smiling at the prepared items spread around him.
None of these things had been used at all.
Including expensive items like the “Soul Extraction Skill” talisman which he could sell later on to make back some money.
“Let me try again to see how efficient is the absorption of Spirit Qi now that I have reconfigured my Spiritual Root…”
Chen Dengming said, withdrawing his mind to start practising the “Longevity Skill”.
As he started to practice, the Water Spirit Qi and Wood Spirit Qi in the surrounding air quickly swarmed in.
The deserted island had no Spirit Vein, so the Spirit Qi in the air wasn’t abundant.
However, since the boundless ocean surrounded it, the Water Spirit Qi was quite rich, almost comparable to half of the effect of a first-class Spirit Vein.
At this moment, a large amount of Water Spirit Qi quickly poured in and encircled above Chen Dengming’s head, flickering with blue light.
A small amount of Wood Spirit Qi was enveloped by the Water Spirit Qi, and started to create more Wood Spirit Qi as the Water Spirit Qi nourished it.
At the same time, the Wood Spirit Qi nourished the Water Spirit Qi in return, causing the Water Spirit Qi to shift from blue to black, making the practice twice as effective and the Spirit Qi even more abundant.
Water nourishes Wood!
The theory of mutual generation in the Five Elements was thoroughly demonstrated, far better than the gruesome spectacle in the past where the Gold Spirit Qi would attack the Wood Spirit Qi on sight.
This Wood Spirit Root, up until this point, is like an old tree in spring, blossoming again.
Chen Dengming executed a complete cycle and then opened his eyes.
A flash of brilliance swept through his eyes, and as he felt the abundant Spirit Qi within him, a smile surfaced on his face.
Refreshing, it feels so refreshing!
The Water-Wood mutual generating Spirit Root not only greatly increased the efficiency of absorbing Spirit Qi during practice, but also when these two types of Spirit Qi circulated inside his body, the complementation was exquisite.
This increased the speed of his Spirit Qi recovery substantially.
“Good!”
Chen Dengming roared in laughter.
Thinking about the Spirit Root conflict that troubled him for years now finally resolved — even turned into mutual generation Spirit Root, he couldn’t help letting out a hearty roar.
His boom reverberated like a restrained dragon hum, causing the coconut trees around to shake, gravel to tremble, and the bag of sea water to make great noise, even drowning out the sound of waves.
Su Yanyan silently gave him a white eye, but her heart was also quite joyful.
However, she didn’t show it on her face, attempting to maintain the dignity and poise that comes with being a Martial Uncle.
From Chen Dengming’s roar, she too felt the joy of her Martial Nephew.
Unlike other cultivators who were born into families or Immortal Sects, he started from being a Loose Cultivator, and his journey has been full of hardships, something outsiders wouldn’t comprehend.
This roar was like a trapped dragon ascending to heaven, golden scales transforming into a dragon, radiating a rainbow-like spirit and the certification of the Nascent Soul is just around the corner…
