Chapter 7: You’ve Overdrawn Everything

“The Doom of Heaven.”

“Spiritual roots.”

“Aura.”

“So that’s how it is ……”

A Cultivation Market within the sphere of influence of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Xu System flipped through the ancient book in his hands, reading the contents of the above word by word, his eyes slightly closed, and a hint of bitterness appeared on his face after a long time.

He had never thought that his act of bringing the young girl to the Heavenly Sword Sect would jeopardize her life.

Although, according to ancient texts, aura is everywhere, even in places with the lowest concentration of aura, Heaven’s Doom would not allow to live past 40 years old.

Despite the fact that from the very beginning, System Xu had no knowledge of the Heaven’s Doom, and it was with the idea of protecting the young girl that he brought along into the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Though with Mo Li’s character, he definitely wouldn’t blame System Xu, his older brother.

But.

“Wrong is wrong.”

Xu System sighed in his heart, and that face, which appeared unusually haggard due to years of running around and being busy, became even more disoriented at the moment.

Uneasy ……

Guilt ……

Regret ……

If, after doing something wrong, one only knows how to shift all the blame, then who can the Koh Department shift the blame to?

It was the sister who had always trusted him since childhood.

It is still the aura of heaven and earth that has no self-awareness and has been functioning in this way.

It’s ridiculous, isn’t it?

“I really am not a competent elder brother ……,” Xu System’s mood was a little bad, and the imperial sword flew into the sky, aiming directly at the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The mistake has been made, and the doom of heaven has come for my sister.

It’s a good thing there’s a salvation in the ancient texts.

The so-called Heaven’s Error was essentially someone who was born with a natural affinity for aura, only to have no spiritual roots in their body, which caused this gift to turn into a nightmare.

And so the solution was simple.

It is sufficient to let those who encountered the Heavenly Error have spiritual roots and begin cultivation.

“Allowing mortals to possess spiritual roots, I’ve never heard of such a thing, I hope that there’s a way on Master’s side”, as the imperial sword sped through the air and the wind and clouds swirled, Xu System stood on the flying sword and frowned.

Although there was the method of seizing a body within the Immortal Cultivation World, in essence, it was just changing a body that also possessed spiritual roots.

If it is possible to create something out of nothing.

To cause a mortal to give birth to a spiritual root or transplant a spiritual root.

The number of Immortal Cultivators wouldn’t be so scarce.

……

[You, who learned of the cause of your sister’s illness, rushed back to Mori Sword Peak as fast as you could, but instead of returning to your cave, you flew directly into the Mori Sword Hall at the top of the peak]

“This is the retreat of your master, Li Wan-shou.

[At the same time, this is the second time you’ve visited Mori Sword Hall on personal business.]

[Last time, you were asking Master Li Wanshou about the cause of your sister’s illness, and this time, you want to ask about how to mold your spiritual roots to help your sister truly regain her health]

[You entered the Hall of Mori Swords, met Li Wanshou, and directly stated the purpose of your trip and sought the method of shaping the spiritual root]

[Your master regards you as the successor of the mantle and responds to all your requests, but this time, even he, who is a great cultivator of the YuanYing stage, is not able to give you the answer you want]

“I have lived for more than a thousand years, and I have never heard of the method of molding the spiritual root after birth; the spiritual root is formed in heaven, and it is difficult for human beings to change it.”

“Perhaps only that legendary Immortal can do such a thing.”

Mori Sword Peak.

In the temple at the top of the hill.

The immortal airy old man sighed as he stroked his beard, “Apprentice, it’s not that the master refuses to help you, even if a Spirit Transformation Cultivator were to step in, there is likewise no solution to this matter.”

The Xu system didn’t say anything, just continued to salute.

The old man added: “Your nature …… Alas, I heard that in the ancient times, there was the method of external spiritual roots.”

“To use the treasures of the essence of heaven and earth, instead of the spiritual roots of birth, to assist the human body in cultivation, but such a practice is almost impossible to do.”

Why not?

Just because it’s too hard!

How rare the heavenly materials and treasures were in the world, the Great Avatars didn’t have enough just for themselves, so how could they have any extra and take it to mortals to mold their spiritual roots.

Even the Heavenly Sword Sect of the Yuan Ying Sect didn’t have that kind of treasure.

The Department understands the difficulty of this.

It’s hard, but it’s a way out in the end.

“Many thanks, teacher,” Xu System sincerely thanked him and left, leaving the old man alone to look at his back and let out a long sigh, as if he was regretting something, and as if he was reminiscing about something.

……

[You were very excited to learn of the existence of the Law of External Spiritual Roots.]

[After returning to the cave, you set up a spirit-locking formation for your sister, which largely alleviated her pain and prolonged her life]

[She still looks at you with warm and trusting eyes, believing in you and relying on you]

[You start looking for heavenly treasures]

[You’re looking for something incredibly hard]

[Lower grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures can’t play the role of external spiritual roots, and higher grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures are simply not something you, a quasi-Jindan cultivator, can get your hands on]

[You began to pursue self-help, continuous research and exploration, wanting to find other possibilities of external spiritual roots, such as using formations and artifacts as substitutes]

[You’ve overdrawn your energy, triggered a heartbeat, and you’ve refined your four arts of cultivation]

[You’ve overdrawn your vital energy, triggering a whim, and you’ve refined your four arts of immortal cultivation]

[You’ve overdrawn your soul, triggering a whim, and you’ve refined your four arts of Immortal Cultivation]

[You’re overdrawn ……]

[Overdraft ……]

Failure over and over and over again.

Numerous times the hardships and obstacles have made Xu Department thought of giving up, but every time he remembers the trusting eyes, he will get the motivation to continue to move forward again.

It’s just that reality is too harsh.

The Law of the External Spiritual Root is like driftwood for a drowning person.

Just giving a glimmer of hope of survival, the next instant it raises a monstrous wave that sinks one mercilessly to the bottom of the sea.

With Xu System’s current quasi-Jindan cultivation, he simply didn’t have the strength to touch to possess this level of heavenly material, let alone mold it into an external spiritual root.

If I must say.

If there are any heavenly treasures around the Xu system.

That would be himself.

Wood belongs to the Heavenly Spiritual Root, contrary to the Doom of Heaven, the Heavenly Spiritual Root is simply the favor of the Heavenly Dao, even if the cultivation has been neglected over the years, Xu System is about to step into the Jindan Stage without the slightest stagnation.

As for the cultivation of the four arts …… Xu Department clearly overestimated the upper limit of the blue words, even if he continuously triggered the heart’s blood, it is impossible for his level to arrive at the level of creating an external spiritual root.

“Perhaps I should change my mindset and improve my own strength first.”

After many failures.

Such thoughts bubbled up in Xu System’s mind.

He was no longer obsessed with creating an external spiritual root, but first focused on his own cultivation, wholeheartedly closed-door cultivation, wildly knocking pills, obviously just broke through the late stage of Foundation Establishment in less than two years, then directly broke through the Jindan Stage again.

At the age of less than thirty, he had achieved the youngest Jindan Realist since the founding of the clan.

And awakening of the native aptitude.

[Wood rehabilitation]

This was a divine ability with an extremely strong life preservation ability, which could consume Jindan mana and release an incomparably exuberant vitality, restoring the limbs and broken arms without any problems.

When the vitality is dense to a certain extent, it will even be more divine, and it has a nourishing effect on Jindan cultivators and YuanYing cultivators, healing the soul and healing dark wounds.

Frankly.

This was a divine ability that could travel across the cultivation world.

Paired with the cultivation speed of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, whoever it was would surely become a top great cultivator in the Immortal Cultivation World in the future.

But the Xu system saw something more in it, something that could save Xu Moli’s possibilities.
