"Heh..." Fu Young let out a cold laugh.
He didn’t think the Heavenly Dao was specifically targeting him. Ever since he began cultivating, he had been able to convert spiritual energy of any attribute into any other attribute. He had originally assumed this was due to his unusual spiritual roots. Only after absorbing the memories preserved in the fragments of the Divine Osmanthus Tree did he learn that this was one of the abilities of the main body of the Supreme Star Lord.
Any power extending into the ten thousand small and big world, regardless of its attribute.
All attributes of energy extending into the ten thousand small and big world could be absorbed and freely converted by the main body of the Supreme Star Lord. Therefore, his cultivation was completely unaffected. It made no difference what attribute the spiritual energy possessed, and even the energy found in the void was no exception.
His Master, however, was different. Xiao Shou’s spiritual roots originally limited him to absorbing only water, earth, and wood spiritual energy. Even the Illusory Spiritual Root he had created later had been derived from his water spiritual root. The new spiritual roots he had created recently also increased his need for water spiritual energy during cultivation.
Although their sect’s cultivation technique could convert spiritual energy within the body, it could only do so after the energy had been absorbed. Unfortunately, in this realm, spiritual energy of every attribute was mixed with fire energy, which was completely incompatible with his Master’s spiritual roots.
Since the spiritual energy was like this, the spirit jade veins in this realm were probably similar. If his Master tried to cultivate outside, absorbing not only water energy but even wood and earth energy would be difficult. Simply separating the fire energy would be a troublesome task in itself.
Thinking about it this way, it was difficult to deny that the Heavenly Dao was acting with malice toward his Master.
It really seemed as though the Heavenly Dao had deliberately sent them into a world that was extremely unfavorable to his Master’s cultivation. Considering this and everything that had happened before, Fu Young felt an overwhelming urge to eliminate the being that constantly coveted his Master. So what if he came from another world? Was there really any need to hold such a grudge and constantly try to kill his Master?
There was the reborn female protagonist, the transmigrated female supporting character, the transmigrated male supporting character, and the female protagonist who had possessed another body... And then there was Gou Guangming, whose nature was difficult to define. Why didn’t the Heavenly Dao obsess over them instead?
Fu Young conveniently ignored the fact that he had already eliminated the reborn female protagonist, Xiao Ran, the transmigrated female supporting character,Yu Lin, and the transmigrated male supporting character, Mao Yisheng.
His Master was the only one the Heavenly Dao had repeatedly targeted, yet it had never succeeded in killing him. Thinking about this, Fu Young decided that since the Heavenly Dao was always making trouble for his Master, he might as well find some time to eliminate its other Chosen One, that woman who had possessed another body and whose name was something like Shao Hua. Let the Heavenly Dao have something else to worry about for once, instead of constantly troubling his Master.
While Fu Young was making all sorts of plans in his mind, his expression remained as calm as ever.
"There’s no need to rush. If this realm really isn’t suitable for us, we’ll simply move to another Spirit Realm to cultivate. Our spirit jade reserves should be enough to sustain us for now."
"Mm! But by entering the Spirit Realm this way, we’ve missed an opportunity. I read in a book that cultivators who ascend from a lower realm according to the Heavenly Dao’s rules are sent directly into the Spirit Realm’s Dust Cleansing Pool. The longer they soak in it, the more impurities are expelled from their bodies, and the spiritual energy within them is cleansed of impurities, becoming purer and more concentrated." Xiao Shou spoke with some regret.
Hearing this, Fu Young smiled. "It’s only a matter of removing impurities from the body and condensing spiritual energy. Have you forgotten the effects of Spirit Spring Milk, demonic spirit cores, and our cultivation technique? Combined, their effects are no worse than those of the Dust Cleansing Pool. Besides, we’ve already reached the Spirit Realm, and we have plenty of time. If you want to soak in the Dust Cleansing Pool, we can simply find the one in this realm and try it ourselves."
"Let’s forget it. Considering the state of spiritual energy in this Spirit Realm, I’m genuinely worried that if I soak in the Dust Cleansing Pool, I’ll end up with my entire body filled with fire spiritual energy. That would be a real mess to deal with."
Thinking about the condition of the spiritual energy in the Mystic Jade Realm, Xiao Shou hurriedly shook his head and firmly rejected the idea.
His reaction made Fu Young burst into a bright, sunny smile.
"Hahaha... It probably won’t be that exaggerated. Otherwise, wouldn’t cultivators who ascended from lower realms to this Spirit Realm be miserable?"
"Uh! That’s true."
Hearing this, Xiao Shou realized that there was some sense to it and nodded. He was just about to share his thoughts when he suddenly noticed several streaks of light flying through the sky. He immediately stopped speaking and looked up. Seeing this, Fu Young also focused his attention on the newcomers.
Before long, the two of them saw numerous figures arriving one after another.
There were seven figures in total, five men and two women.
One was an elderly male Daoist cultivator with completely white hair and a white beard.
Another was a muscular young man with black hair and black eyes, carrying an enormous sword on his back.
There was also an old monk wearing a plain, worn out monk’s robe, his face filled with sorrow and a stunningly beautiful woman in her twenties wore an elaborate palace gown.
