One sword cheat

Chapter 57 Cause and Effect Fall, Spiritual Root Plants in the Heart's Yang

Is this what spiritual roots are?

A surge of pure Yang fire energy continuously entered Chen Ren's body. As he cultivated the Great Cave True Scripture, he felt as if his internal organs were about to burst into flames.

His heart was like a sun, constantly radiating light and heat, providing power for his entire body.

This is a spiritual root of the upper-level (乙上) grade; even a little cultivation here would be far beyond what he could achieve before.

While absorbing Luo Yunxi's spiritual root, Chen Ren also inhaled and exhaled the overflowing pure fire energy, determined not to waste a single bit.

We should seize this great opportunity to directly advance to the first level of Qi Condensation.

In this way, he can cultivate both martial arts and immortality, and his strength will far surpass that of ordinary people in the same realm.

But it was during this process that Chen Ren discovered some problems.

The cooling energy continued to flow into his heart, improving the quality of the internal heat within him.

But Chen Ren was shocked to find that his vital energy was dissipating.

Didn't you say there would be no impact?

He didn't quite understand at first, but then he suddenly realized that Zhang Yunqing was unreliable!

Luo Yunxi once said that the total volume of a person's body is limited. If a cup is already full of water, and you want to add anything else into it, the water will definitely overflow.

She previously claimed that martial arts and immortality do not affect each other, probably because she has never stayed in this realm for long, so naturally she would say that.

Zhang Yunqing is so capable; she'll probably reach the Qi Refining stage in the blink of an eye, so she doesn't care about these issues.

But in reality, the impact is significant.

"Luckily, it was me."

Chen Ren decisively drew his sword and slashed, severing the negative influence within his body.

With the obstacle gone, the blood and energy within his body spontaneously condensed, resulting in even more peculiar changes.

A blood and qi totem shaped like an eye soared above the entire Sea of ​​Clear Fire, appearing almost real.

His pupils darted restlessly around his head, and the blood and qi within his body actually solidified and compressed under the gaze of the totem.

If a cup has a limited capacity, then improve the quality of what it contains.

Under Chen Ren's guidance, the sword made the right choice, and as the pure Yang energy of fire continued to flow into Chen Ren's body, his blood and qi indeed overflowed.

"You dare to squander the vital energy and blood that I've painstakingly cultivated?"

He snorted and focused on absorbing the nutrients.

Beyond consciousness, the environment of Sanfu Town is one of birdsong and fragrant flowers, a place of tranquility.

Zhang Yunqing had already sheathed her sword, with only four years left to live. Her gaze was fixed on the person sitting cross-legged, ready to strike again if anything unexpected happened.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Apart from a tiny amount of blood and qi leaking out at the beginning, there were no further problems.

Zhang Yunqing turned around, unaware that Luo Yunxi's obsession had dissipated at some point, and she hadn't even said a final word to him.

An obsession is just an obsession; it's not him.

She subconsciously wiped her eyes, took a deep breath, looked ahead, and sensed that the remnant soul belonging to Luo Yunxi within Chen Ren's body had also completely disappeared.

"He should have seen my junior brother by now."

The woman made no attempt to hide her disappointment as she personally saw Luo Yunxi off on his journey.

"If I could interfere with cause and effect, my junior brother would surely be able to reincarnate again..."

She instinctively gripped the spirit sword in her hand, but she was not strong enough to enter the underworld of this world.

"well……"

With a long sigh, she realized she still had to overcome her own inner turmoil.

"Why is Master sighing?"

Suddenly, a clear voice rang out. Zhang Yunqing looked up and saw that Chen Ren, who had been meditating cross-legged just moments before, had now stood up.

"Are you done?"

Zhang Yunqing grabbed Chen Ren's wrist to sense his aptitude for the day.

"Otoshi!"

She raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise on her face: "You didn't suffer any damage?"

"No, there might be some loss, but very little. Could it be that Junior Brother is already at the limit of his Grade B aptitude?"

Normally, she would think it was normal for Chen Ren to have a lower-level spiritual root, but this situation doesn't make sense.

This method of substitution, to put it bluntly, involves using the former to cultivate the latter's flowers in the soil, and losses are inevitable.

But to her surprise, the flower absorbed the soil perfectly.

"It seems you and he are very compatible; perhaps you're just lucky."

That was the only explanation she could give; in layman's terms, Chen Ren won the lottery.

"I owe all of this to my master's guidance!"

Chen Ren was very grateful, but he still drew his sword.

As he discovered that more and more of his spiritual roots were dissipating, he realized that he could not fully inherit Luo Yunxi's spiritual roots, so he decisively drew his sword.

One sword severs the spiritual root, another strikes the fruit, thus creating the cause.

However, this cause and effect did not go back to the time of his birth, but rather landed on that very moment.

The change in cause and effect was so great that it overturned everything that followed. Fortunately, he had rehearsed it beforehand with 100 sword-drawing points.

Chen Ren's eyes showed lingering fear as he recalled what had just happened.

[Ding: You have obtained Luo Yunxi's Yi Shang Qing Huo spiritual root. You are born, and have immediately attracted attention from all sides.]

The Wang, Li, and Wan families, among others, came seeking your expertise, offering to provide all the resources needed for your cultivation. As a result, your parents were treated as honored guests by these powerful families, enjoying a life of comfort and abundance, and even had five more younger siblings with them.

Unfortunately, their aptitude is mediocre, making them a burden on your future cultivation. You'll need to earn 200,000 coins daily just to cover their martial arts training, leaving you with a large debt of gratitude.

[Cause and effect have changed. Your parents unilaterally signed a contract with the Wang family, resulting in you not joining the Shangqing Palace. Sanfu Town will no longer provide you with Causal Sword Points.]

Eighteen years later, in the royal city dominated by the ancient Wang family, you successfully condensed to the ninth level of Qi. As you entered the year-end cleanup, you were ambushed by a Foundation Establishment ancestor from a rival faction within the Wang family. Unable to turn the tide, you perished...

Chen Ren never expected that after the cause and effect changed, the subsequent changes would be so significant.

He not only gained parents, but also joined the Wang family, and was even assassinated by the Foundation Establishment Ancestor, who was an enemy of the Wang family.

I didn't notice any of that. Was it because I wasn't protected by the Supreme Clarity Immortal Light, or because I had too many resources, causing me to overlook the tribulation energy in my cultivation?

He lowered his head in thought. In any case, cause and effect cannot be changed at will. No wonder they had to rehearse first.

I must be careful from now on, and rehearse everything beforehand.

He then made another prediction, this time choosing the present moment to deliver the result, making the previous changes minimal.

"Now that you've obtained the spiritual root, I must return to the mountain ahead of schedule."

Zhang Yunqing glanced at Sanfu Town, pondered for a moment, and then said:

"Find someone to buy the mineral bones of these ancient beasts. You can sell them for a high price. While you're at it, help distribute the money to Luo Yunxi's clansmen and settle them in new residences near Qingcheng Mountain Academy."

These were all agreed upon beforehand. Her time is really tight; she only has four years left to live, making it extremely difficult to break through.

After reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, each leap in a minor realm is like a transformation of the world, a process of creating something from nothing.

Most people can only stay at a certain level in their entire lives and can no longer make any progress.

Not to mention that she would have to force a breakthrough within four years, which would be extremely difficult even with the remains of an ancient god.

"Thank you, Master! Don't worry, I will definitely settle things in Sanfu Town. I promised my junior uncle that I would do this small thing."

He wasn't lying. Sanfu Town is really important. There are 301 people bound by cause and effect. Can they be lost?

Losing even one person is like tearing flesh from his body.

Chen Ren bowed sincerely. Although he obtained his spiritual root with the Calamity Sword, in reality, if Zhang Yunqing hadn't broken up Luo Yunxi's body and merged with him, he wouldn't have been qualified to draw the sword.

Luo Yunxi is at the Foundation Establishment stage, so Chen Ren should only be able to draw his sword after breaking through the limit twice.

He simply couldn't accumulate that many sword-drawing points, but after scattering them and merging them with him, it was as if he was cutting off something from his own body.

Spiritual root—obtained!
