Chapter 7: and

Not only did he use the jade pendant to swindle the trust of her relatives, but in order to obtain ascension resources, he even colluded with her "simp" to slaughter her entire family to the last man.

And she hadn't even gotten to see their faces one last time.

For the time being, however, Si Nansheng couldn't afford to dwell on all that. She had to seize the time to heal her body; once her body recovered, she would raise her cultivation, and then go see them.

When that time came, she would impartially send flying everyone who had ever hurt her.

Under the support of Li Tianhen's various pills, her body recovered very quickly.

Although the severed meridians throughout her body could not be restored for the moment, her external injuries had healed significantly; moving about outside was completely fine.

Li Tianhen brought Si Nansheng to a mountain cave. Ye Yanqing was already waiting at the entrance.

"Master, do you need to use this place to test Little Junior Sister's spiritual roots?" Ye Yanqing was genuinely puzzled.

Master had clearly said before that Little Junior Sister's spiritual roots were destroyed, so why test them again?

"This Master has his own intentions. Lead the way." Li Tianhen spoke indifferently.

"Yes, Master." Ye Yanqing took out a glowing crystal and walked ahead to guide them.

Si Nansheng followed carefully behind him. The cave was very long; they walked for a long time before the view suddenly opened up.

Si Nansheng poked her head out from behind Ye Yanqing, looking at the scene inside the cave.

However, aside from a giant, translucent white crystal stone about the height of two people, there seemed to be nothing else in the cave.

"Nansheng, place your hand on the crystal stone and sense your spiritual roots."

Li Tianhen looked down at Si Nansheng. Si Nansheng obediently stepped forward.

She placed her small hand on the crystal stone, slowly closed her eyes, and attempted to sense her spiritual roots.

As her perception entered, Si Nansheng felt as if she had fallen into a chaos, unable to find an entrance or exit.

Not only could she not find her spiritual roots, she couldn't even sense spiritual energy; her surroundings were like a void.

Li Tianhen and Ye Yanqing stood quietly guard to the side. However, after a long while, the crystal stone still showed no reaction. Ye Yanqing couldn't help but start to worry.

"Master, Little Junior Sister she..." Ye Yanqing looked anxiously at Li Tianhen.

"Silence." Li Tianhen frowned, watching Si Nansheng.

Suddenly, Si Nansheng saw several clusters of colorful lights in the void. She reached out to touch them.

A blinding light suddenly burst forth from the crystal stone. Ye Yanqing narrowed his eyes to look.

"Holy crap!" Ye Yanqing stared at the five-colored light within the crystal stone, his eyes widening.

"Is this... mixed spiritual roots?"

"Omni-spiritual roots. It's actually omni-spiritual roots. I see." Li Tianhen watched the purple, cyan, and white lights flashing intermittently within the crystal stone, muttering with a complex expression.

"Omni-spiritual roots? I thought it was just the useless five-element mixed roots."

Ye Yanqing looked at his Little Junior Sister with pity.

How did it turn out to be omni-spiritual roots?

Little Junior Sister will definitely be very disappointed when she finds out, right?

What to do?

Wait, weren't Little Junior Sister's spiritual roots destroyed?

How did they test as omni-spiritual roots now?

This situation has never been discovered before, has it?

Is this haunted?

"Master." Si Nansheng withdrew her hand, slowly opened her eyes, froze for a moment, then turned to look at Li Tianhen.

"Now that we know your spiritual root attribute, let's go back and talk." After speaking, Li Tianhen turned and left.

Si Nansheng glanced at Ye Yanqing; his face held an indescribable expression.

Si Nansheng naturally knew why—it was because of her spiritual roots.

To everyone, the full-attribute spiritual root was just a mixed root, a trash root.

Ye Yanqing bent down, picked up Si Nansheng, and caught up to Li Tianhen.

"Nansheng, do you know your spiritual root attribute?" After returning to their residence, Li Tianhen sat down and looked at Si Nansheng.

"Nansheng does not know. However, during the test, I saw five-colored lights."

Si Nansheng answered half-truthfully, blinking her lively large eyes at Li Tianhen.

"This Master also didn't expect you to be an omni-spiritual root. Do you still want to continue cultivating?" Li Tianhen looked at Si Nansheng seriously. Si Nansheng lowered her head to look at her lower abdomen.

"Master, can omni-spiritual roots really not cultivate?" Ye Yanqing thought Si Nansheng was discouraged and immediately grew anxious.

"It's not that they can't. It's just that cultivation for omni-spiritual roots is many times more difficult than for single spiritual roots.

Let me explain it this way: if a single spiritual root cultivator absorbs spiritual energy that only needs to sustain one person, an omni-spiritual root absorbing the same amount of spiritual energy has to sustain eight people.

In this way, the advancement speed of omni-spiritual root cultivators will be much, much slower than ordinary people.

Especially since, Nansheng, your meridians are currently completely severed. Even if you want to cultivate, you must repair your meridians first."

Li Tianhen spoke lightly to his two disciples.

An omni-attribute spiritual root wanting to cultivate would likely face far greater difficulties than others.

But if successful, it would shock the entire world.

"Uh, Junior Sister, don't be discouraged either. It's fine if you can't cultivate.

I think eating and waiting to die is pretty good too. Our Four Gods Sect has few people but isn't poor; supporting you is more than enough."

Ye Yanqing didn't know how to comfort Si Nansheng; his words were a bit thoughtless.

Si Nansheng looked woodenly at Ye Yanqing.

Eat and wait to die?

Senior Brother, you really have a way with words.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. I'm not discouraged, and I won't just eat and wait to die. Although cultivation speed is slow, it's not impossible to cultivate. I won't give up.

I cultivate to defy the heavens. With this mortal body, I shall step onto the mountain peak, look down on all beings, look down on heaven and earth, and witness all the vicissitudes of the mortal world!

There are thousands of Daos; I walk only my own path, to control my own destiny!"

Si Nansheng smiled at Ye Yanqing. Ye Yanqing was slightly stunned upon hearing this, his mind clearing for a moment.

"Master..." Ye Yanqing abruptly looked at Li Tianhen.

"I will stand guard for you." Li Tianhen spoke. Ye Yanqing immediately sat cross-legged and closed his eyes.

What's going on?

"Master, Senior Brother... what happened to him?"

Si Nansheng stared at Ye Yanqing for a moment, then turned to look at her Master.

"He is having an epiphany." Li Tianhen's words made the corner of Si Nansheng's mouth twitch.

What the heck?

He just had an epiphany like that?

How did he just have an epiphany?

"Your Senior Brother has good aptitude, but he has stayed at the third level of the Golden Core stage for too long.

He has been seeking his own Dao, but never had a result.

Unexpectedly, a few words from you triggered his epiphany.

Hopefully, this epiphany will allow him to break through to the fourth level of the Golden Core stage."

Li Tianhen looked at Si Nansheng with relief. Si Nansheng blinked.

Senior Brother is truly a genius; at such a young age, he's already at the third level of Golden Core.

And he's been stuck at Golden Core for so many years.

But in the original novel, Senior Brother was only at the fifth level of Golden Core when he died.

He broke through to the fourth level several years later.

Could it be that her arrival advanced the plot?

Regardless, Si Nansheng sincerely hoped Senior Brother would succeed in breaking through this time.

"Once your Senior Brother successfully breaks through, in the future, even if this Master leaves, there will be someone to protect you."

Li Tianhen turned to look at Si Nansheng. Si Nansheng froze.

"Master, where are you going?"

"You will know in the future." After speaking, Li Tianhen continued watching Ye Yanqing.

Si Nansheng didn't press the question further.

"If you truly wish to cultivate, this Master will have your Senior Brother search for Spirit-Tempering Grass to wash your spiritual roots into a single attribute."

Seeing Si Nansheng spacing out while watching Ye Yanqing, Li Tianhen spoke gently.
