Chapter 649 Four Spiritual Roots Discovered
"I just went out to pick up my child from school. Where is he now? Has the Xiaoyao Sect found any clues? Or has the Divine Sect or the Blood Alliance gotten hold of him?"
In the audience, a burly man walked to his seat and sat down. He wiped his sweat and asked the cultivator next to him with concern.
"No, no, no, this is nothing. Clues aren't that easy to get."
One of the monks answered, but before he could finish, another voice interrupted:
"You must have misread it. A cultivator has already obtained a clue, but it's not from the Free and Unfettered Sect, the Divine Sect, or the Blood Alliance. It's a cultivator from the Weapon Sect named Jin Dazhu."
The big man looked confused as he heard their conversation.
I've never heard of this cultivator named Jin Dazhu before.
"Redwood, since the Weapon Sect has already obtained them, Redwood, being so clever, should have obtained them as well."
The man and woman who were explaining things to the burly man exchanged a glance.
One look in his eyes confirmed it; this person was undoubtedly a die-hard fan of Redwood.
"I'm almost reluctant to tell you, why don't you see for yourself? Redwood just fell from mid-air into a horde of monsters, and it was an S-rank monster at that. There's a high chance it'll die in the monster horde..."
"died?"
The big man was somewhat incredulous; how could he have died so suddenly?
"In short, it's a long story, she was just too unlucky."
"Indeed, given the density of monsters in this area, it would be difficult to escape. I just don't know why she tore up the special teleportation talisman at the end to leave the secret realm. That way, even if she was eliminated, she would still have a chance to survive."
Amidst the cacophony of voices around him, the burly man felt a growing sense of disbelief.
He didn't know what his emotions were, he just felt something was wrong, that his death was a bit too hasty.
"Anyway, that's how it is. Don't be sad. Maybe we just misread it." The male cultivator said, his eyes fixed on the screen.
I don't know if it's because he's been using his eyes too much, but he always feels dizzy looking at the screen, and he's even having hallucinations.
"How come there's another person underground? This cultivator looks like Hongmu."
"It's not just a resemblance, it is her!" the burly man exclaimed.
Everyone around turned to look at the screen. Their gazes shifted, and the cultivator they had initially thought was doomed had miraculously reappeared within the secret realm.
"Holy crap, Redwood isn't dead."
"How did she manage to escape so perfectly from so many monsters?"
"Is it like a cicada shedding its shell?"
"It's unlikely that we can escape directly, and the other monsters haven't continued to chase us."
"It looks like it drilled down from the ground. Was it dug using an ice cone or a teleportation talisman? In theory, teleportation arrays can only teleport to areas that can accommodate a carrier. Unless Hongmu can find the underground cavity in advance and mark the point, it can only teleport randomly. It doesn't seem like it would appear underground like this."
"That's right, I need to study the live stream replay carefully."
"It's no use studying it; I played it at eight times speed in slow motion, and I still couldn't tell the difference."
Underground, Jiang He's external wounds reopened.
A smile finally appeared on her face.
It's a battle between life and death.
Thankfully, she won.
The threat to her is too great, whether on land, in the air, or at sea.
After careful consideration, Jiang He finally decided to go underground.
There are monsters underground, but obviously not that many. Unless a monster possesses earth elemental power or the ability to move through the soil, it is difficult for it to enter the soil and move below.
Jiang He connected to the oxygen mask, and with each step she took, the earth elemental energy in her hands cleared a path for her.
As Jiang He walked, the soil in front of her crumbled, forming a hollow, and she didn't forget to cover the one behind her.
The monsters in the soil were mostly large, tender worms. Jiang He carefully avoided one of them, then turned around and began to speed up her advance.
Those cultivators who witnessed Jiang He walking underground finally understood why she could safely reach the underground despite falling into the demonic realm.
[Okay, the mystery is solved again. It turns out it's so simple. So, wouldn't it have been better if the rumor that Redwood had dual spiritual roots had spread even wider? Now it's clear that Redwood doesn't have dual or triple spiritual roots, but quadruple spiritual roots.]
In the short time it takes to pick up a child, the redwood spiritual root has changed.
It's not that it's changed, it's that it has an additional spiritual root. Cultivators with earth spiritual roots can dig tunnels. Many of my senior brothers and sisters went to work for the railway bureau after graduation.
Isn't this harmful to employment? With such a high population density on the ground, where are the railways anymore? Air travel is all the rage now.
Earth spirit roots can also dig tunnels? This is the first time I've heard of that.
Solid professional knowledge is all that matters. Hongmu must be a top student. I just didn't expect her to have an earth elemental root. Following her method, the underground threats are indeed minimal.
A cultivator with four spiritual roots is practically indistinguishable from someone with useless spiritual roots. I'm starting to doubt what other spiritual roots Hongmu might have. Surely he can't just keep popping up like that. The cultivation world is very different from those fictional stories about useless spiritual roots. Fictional stories are full of protagonists with useless spiritual roots who ascend through fortuitous encounters, but these days, it's incredibly rare to see someone with useless spiritual roots reach the Nascent Soul stage. If you met one in real life, they'd be called a piece of trash.
How did you know that our senior, Jiang He, is an eight-eight-eight-root genius?
I forgot about that. Jiang He's been quite popular lately. After Long Aotian became the spokesperson for Hengxing Technology, a lot of people started digging into his associates. I see some fanfiction about Long Aotian and Jiang He still circulating on some forums.
Is Jiang He very popular?
She's quite popular. Her experiences are even more exciting than those of a female protagonist in a historical novel. If she were still alive, I feel she would definitely have a place in this year's sect competition's breakout performance.
Let's go back and talk about Hongmu. How did she come up with the idea of bringing oxygen masks to the sect competition?
The oxygen mask isn't surprising, but I've noticed this woman's control over earth element is almost perfect. She buries herself with every step she takes, and after watching for so long, the other cultivators have all reached the stone gate, and the redwood is still here.
Don't worry, the redwood has moved again.
Huh? Ten consecutive teleports? Did she set up the target points beforehand?
Jiang He caught her breath under the soil, and then she needed to find the exit.
The land is connected to the land, whether it is the soil under the beach or the vast soil under the sea.
Jiang He carefully felt the breath of the earth.
The breathing in one particular spot was especially peculiar, sounding like the noises produced by human activity.
There were three such disturbances. Jiang He quickly identified the location with the most frequent disturbances as the destination and then began using teleportation talismans to determine the teleportation location.
The teleportation was divided into ten segments. Jiang He didn't dare to waste half a second when she teleported to each location. She quickly tore up the talisman and continued to teleport to the next location.
And so, after being teleported ten times, Jiang He successfully arrived outside the stone gate.
"Inner Demon Test"
Jiang He looked at the stone gate, knowing that she had to pass a test to enter. She cautiously placed her hand on the gate and quickly entered the test.
