Chapter 1 Spiritual Root(1/2)
Dingzhou.
Xiantian Yiqi Sect Mountain Gate.
As a golden light fell, Zhang Ke's figure appeared.
"Hey! I'm finally home!"
Zhang Ke murmured to himself, feeling a little excited.
In the past few years, due to his sudden enlightenment, he transformed into a flying feather, swaying in the wind.
He unknowingly left the camp and was awakened only when the two worlds merged. Later he was busy fulfilling his promise to 'Fulong Temple'.
After being delayed for a long time, other sect members who were performing tasks had already returned to the sect.
When Zhang Ke fell, the disciples on duty at the mountain gate quickly stepped forward.
"Disciple pays homage to the true king!"
Zhang Ke waved his hand with a smile and asked: "Have the Patriarch and the others come back?"
A disciple replied respectfully:
"The Patriarch Lieyan came back with all the brothers two days ago."
Then, he reached out and took out the Flying Flower Arrow from his waist, and threw it into the air with his backhand.
"call out--!"
A stream of light rose up rapidly and suddenly exploded dozens of feet high.
"boom--!"
Colorful flashes of light bloomed in the air.
The disciple smiled and said:
"Headmaster has an order. When the True Lord comes back, he will notify you with a cannon immediately."
Zhang Ke laughed and said:
"Looks like I have to wait here for a while."
Not long after, the headmaster of the Xiantian Yiqi Sect, Mingxiao Zhenjun, led all the mountain masters in the sect and thousands of disciples to swarm over.
Drums, zithers, and chimes!
Flags are displayed, flowers are scattered, and they are covered with gold!
Give him the crown, roll his name and leave a monument, which will be passed down to future generations forever!
On this day, Zhang Ke was welcomed with the highest etiquette in the sect.
The nine great true kings, the ninety-nine golden elixirs, and the nine hundred and ninety-nine innate gods all came together to welcome Zhang Ke back to the mountain.
Also receiving the same treatment as him are the nine hundred disciples who are undertaking the promotion mission this time.
But only Zhang Ke received the highest courtesy. The headmaster Ming Xiao personally presented him with a purple lotus crown, a Bagua purple ribbon Taoist robe, and the Three Jewels and Jade Ruyi.
In fact, this outfit can only be received by the head of the sect, and it symbolizes the highest power of the Xiantian Yiqi Sect.
At the grand ceremony for the sect to invite its ancestor, Headmaster Mingxiao invited the sect's promotion to the sixth level of the talisman into the ancestral hall.
To everyone's expectation, during this process, Master Mingxiao pulled Zhang Ke to worship at the same time.
As early as decades ago, there were rumors within the sect that Zhang Ke was going to go overseas to establish a branch of the sect.
At this time, I saw that Master Mingxiao was looking after Zhang Ke everywhere and delegated all his authority to him.
Countless speculations were immediately born in the minds of many disciples.
The sect's promotion celebration lasted for seven consecutive days.
During this period, all the sects and sects in Dingzhou sent people to congratulate him, and Mingxiao took charge of the church and led Zhang Ke and all the guests to salute and respond.
Seeing this scene, everyone started talking and finally came to a conclusion.
The next leader of Xiantian Yiqi Sect will probably be Ruyi Zhenjun Zhang Ke.
After the celebration was over, each sect passed the news back to their own sect one after another.
As a result, various deeds about Zhang Ke were dug up bit by bit by various sects.
After fully understanding Zhang Ke, almost all the middle and lower-level sects in Dingzhou took a deep breath.
From Zhang Ke's birth to his practice till now, basically everything he has done is listed.
This is a person who even the disciples of his own sect are afraid of.
Most of his behavior outside the sect has also been discovered.
He broke into Tuo City to kill two thieves, tracked and captured Jin Changxi for thousands of miles, wiped out the beast-shaped man in the Great Rift Valley, killed the red scarf thief, and killed the incarnation of the True Lord of Mountains and Rivers twice.
With Qingmei, he killed Deng Fengshan, crossed the Central Region to destroy the Red Robe Society, captured the "Nine Nether Sky Ghost" Tu Shan alive, and defeated the ghost bandits in the South China Sea.
Each one of these, one after another, is accompanied by a bloody storm, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
And these are only those that have been detected, and there is no telling how many there are that have not been detected.
He kills people like crazy, has great supernatural powers, is brave and tough, and hates evil like a hatred. A series of labels have been affixed to him.
In addition, information such as the Baojia system, the clock, the Ruyi gauntlet, the patent law, the Shouhu method, etc. were also found.
Especially after learning about his horrific act of slapping True Lord Yunshan in the face at Mianzhu Mountain, everyone couldn't help but feel numb.
This is a strong, tough, courageous and resourceful person.
Once such a person takes power, he will definitely cause a storm.
All the small and medium-sized sects in Dingzhou became vigilant.
One hair move affects the whole body.
The various sects in Dingzhou began to gradually adjust some of their own layouts, and some areas adjacent to the Xiantian Yiqi Sect all strengthened their strength.
Viewed from above, the power of the surrounding cultivation circles of Xiantian Yiqi Sect is constantly strengthening, faintly surrounding this place.
Naturally, it is impossible for the Xiantian Yiqi Sect to be unaware of such a large-scale mobilization.
I was very nervous for a long time at first, and countless spies were sent to investigate.
Until the cause of the matter was clarified, Headmaster Mingxiao could not help but be speechless.
How famous is Zhang Ke now?
Just some speculations aroused the fear of various sects in Dingzhou.
After the turmoil caused by this incident, the senior officials of Xiantian Yiqi Sect came to their senses.
Zhang Ke really can't stay in the sect any longer. If this continues, the sect may be isolated by other sects.
His existence can have such a big impact on the outside world.
Now that Dingzhou has finally managed to merge with the secret realm, it has expanded a large area. If it is targeted by various sects, it will definitely affect the sect's rapid development in the future.
It seems that the matter of establishing a branch is urgent and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.
…
Due to the integration of the two worlds, Zhang Ke received a large amount of feedback on humane merits, which not only condensed the "Golden Wheel of Merit".
I also received an unexpected reward.
Therefore, after the celebration, Zhang Ke went into seclusion, isolating himself from the inside and outside, and fully comprehended the reward.
Completely unaware of everything happening outside.
At this moment, Zhang Ke was sitting in a quiet room with his five hearts facing the sky and sitting cross-legged.
Use inner vision to carefully observe the wonderful changes in the body.
In the lower dantian, there is a trace of light whose color is difficult to distinguish.
It is shaped like a slender willow leaf, tangible and intangible, translucent and semi-blooming, giving off a faint halo, firmly rooted in the lower Dantian.
‘spiritual root’
All things have animism and originate from roots!
This is the spiritual root condensed by practitioners in the secret realm after practicing the "Five Elements Breathing and Returning Method".
This method is completely different from the 'vital energy method' practiced by Zhang Ke, so Zhang Ke cannot practice it.
It also made it impossible to condense [Xuan Guang], which he had already given up on.
Unexpectedly, when the secret realm merged with the azure world, the immeasurable human merits would spontaneously condense a spiritual root in his body.
This couldn't help but surprise him.
He had discussed it in detail with Lan Shaocheng and others, and understood that this was how the spiritual root was originally born from the lower dantian.
But other than myself, this thing can't be seen or touched by anyone else. Even the [Spirit Probe] can't detect it at all.
The 'spiritual root' in Zhang Ke's body is different from others in that it has no specific attributes, so it cannot provide an increase in the five elements' spells.
