I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

"besides……"

"My spiritual roots have also been upgraded to the highest grade spiritual roots by the golden purple destiny, reaching the pinnacle of spiritual roots."

Wei Tu immersed his mind in the sea of ​​consciousness. He glanced at the transparent, crystal-clear, and impurity-free dual spiritual roots of "earth and wood" that appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness, and pondered secretly.

In fact, after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, the effect of a cultivator’s spiritual roots on his cultivation is no longer that significant.

More importantly, look at high-level resources.

However, good spiritual roots can allow cultivators to make great use of cultivation resources and reduce the difficulty of breaking through the realm to a certain extent.

Therefore, the improvement of his spiritual root qualifications at this moment was an unexpected surprise for Wei Tu.

Up to now, in terms of qualifications, he is already ranked at the top among all Nascent Souls, second only to the Spiritual Nascent Soul.

"Now that my spiritual root aptitude has reached its limit, what should I do to improve my aptitude in the future?"

Wei Tu suddenly thought of something and pondered in his heart.

The best spiritual roots are the ultimate of spiritual roots.

In other words, even if he used the golden and purple destiny to improve his spiritual root qualifications, it would be of no use because the upper limit had been locked.

Above the spiritual root qualification is the spiritual body qualification.

However, spirits are often born naturally...

Even if he wanted to practice it later, he had no "foundation".

——It is impossible for a person with the fate of "late bloomer" to improve the non-existent things in his body.

Regardless of his previous [spiritual root qualifications], or [acquired true qi], [innate true qi], [talismans], [alchemy], [supernatural powers], etc., these are all things that exist and possess in his body.

Of course, Wei Tu also considered another way to improve his qualifications, which is [True Spirit Bloodline].

"Exchange blood" with the Sky-Splitting Eagle, and then use the "purple-blue tree branches" or "late bloomer" fate to increase the strength of the bloodline and reach the level of a pure-blooded descendant.

However, the upper limit of this qualification improvement is not very attractive to him.

For example, the Nine Phoenix Divine Bloodline of the "Luqiu Clan", according to his estimation, the upper limit is only the Void Refinement Realm.

And for him, if he follows the steps, it won't be difficult to break through the Spirit Transformation Realm, so there is no need to go to such trouble for it.

"Don't think about it too much for now. After you break through the Spiritual Transformation Realm, you can see if there is a suitable route to improve your aptitude."

Wei Tu shook his head and suppressed his thoughts.

At least now, his top-grade spiritual roots are enough to support him and help him break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm without being held back.

……

Two months later.

Wei Tu stabilized his state of mind and broke through the barrier.

"Now, we can go to the Royal Palace."

He stood up and looked through the numerous barriers towards the outer sea area of ​​the Chiming Sea.

That was where Sun Chixin "picked up" the Red Dragon Ancestor that year. There was also a secret entrance leading to the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace.

It is not easy to enter the secret realm of the Royal Palace.

First, you must know the existence of this secret place.

Second, you need to know the entrance to the secret realm.

Without an entrance, even if you know that there is a high-level secret realm called "Zunwang Palace" in the world of immortal cultivation, it is useless.

The "knowledge blockade" imposed on him by Shengya Mountain is the former.

However, the "knowledge blockade" is only the first line of defense of Shengya Mountain to prevent him from going to the secret realm of Zunwang Palace.

The second line of insurance... Although Huyan Tu didn't say it, Wei Tu could guess that it was most likely that the several Yuanying sects that controlled the entrance to the secret realm would prohibit him from entering with them.

In this regard, it's a choke point.

Completely locking him below the "middle Nascent Soul" stage.

But fortunately, he inherited the legacy of the Red Dragon Ancestor and obtained the "private entrance" of this demon giant to enter the secret realm of the Royal Palace.

This made the blockade of him by Shengya Mountain a joke.

Next, Wei Tu did not waste too much time. He acted decisively and called back the Sky-Splitting Eagle that was enjoying the "blessing of all the eagles". He put it into the spirit beast bag, and told Wei Yan and her brother some things to pay attention to after he left. Then he turned into a rainbow light and disappeared in the Ying Ding tribe.

……

One month later.

In the offshore area outside the Red Spirit Sea, two dusty figures suddenly appeared on the blue water.

These two figures, one male and one female, the male is wearing a green shirt and has an ordinary face, while the female is wearing a white dress and has a charming face and a slim figure, just like a fairy concubine.

"Brother Wei Dao, is this the entrance to the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace that Sun Chixin discovered earlier?"

The female cultivator in white skirt looked around at the empty sea in front of her, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

This woman was no one else but Cao Mi, the Palace Master of Ningyue Palace, who had requested Wei Tu to take her to the secret realm of Zunwang Palace in Wulao Mountain.

This time, when Wei Tu went to the secret realm of Zunwang Palace, he would not forget to bring his helper Cao Mi with him.

"It should... not be wrong."

Wei Tu shook his head and replied.

Although Sun Chixin had passed away many years ago due to old age, he had the Red Dragon Ancestor leading the way, so it was impossible for him to get lost in this matter.

"Zhu Lao Mo, what's going on?"

"Why is it different from what you told me before?"

After replying to Cao Mi, Wei Tu's mind moved and he began to communicate with the Red Dragon Ancestor in his sleeve.

"Logically speaking, the deserted island with the entrance to the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace is right here. It is impossible for it to be missing."

"It's just... now more than two hundred years have passed, and it's possible that something unexpected has happened."

The Red Dragon Patriarch spoke hesitantly.

Obviously, he didn't know why the entrance to the secret realm suddenly disappeared.

"However, I am certain that the entrance to this secret realm has not disappeared. Such restrictions cannot be destroyed by ordinary cultivators."

"Besides, even if a cultivator finds it, they will most likely take it for themselves and will not deliberately destroy it."

Having said this, the Red Dragon Patriarch's tone suddenly became much more confident.

The entrance to the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace is a rare treasure for each Yuanying sect.

"Not a monk, then..."

Hearing this, Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly and began to use the spiritual pupil technique to carefully search the nearby sea area.

Half a day later, hundreds of meters below the sea, he finally found a clue.

“Break!” Wei Tu raised his eyebrows, clasped his hands together, and cast more than a dozen spells towards a certain void.

The next moment, the void in front of him seemed to lift a veil, revealing the scenery inside.

Inside was the deserted island that the Red Dragon Ancestor had mentioned, and it looked exactly the same as it had before.

"Is it an illusion?"

"Someone has gotten there before us?" Upon seeing this scene, Cao Mi, who was standing nearby, immediately reacted with a look of vigilance on his face.

She knew very well that Wei Tu, who possessed the dual pupil techniques of "Sun-gazing Golden Pupils" and "Ghost-eyed Demonic Spider", was at the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul level in terms of the secret technique of spiritual pupils.

Just now, Wei Tu spent half a day before he could barely figure out this illusion.

Doesn't that mean that the cultivator who set up the illusion is definitely at the middle Nascent Soul stage or above?
“Don’t worry! There is no spiritual breath in the deserted island anymore.” Wei Tu shook his head, confirming Cao Mi’s guess while describing the specific situation on the island.

However, at this moment, he, like Cao Mi, also felt a little more worried.

According to the rules of the secret realm: after he enters from this entrance, when he leaves the Royal Palace later, he will also leave from this secret realm entrance.

In other words, he and the monk who set up this illusion to cover the "entrance to the secret realm" will meet each other sooner or later, and even have a battle.

After all, the entrance to the secret realm represents such great value that most Nascent Soul cultivators would hardly be willing to share it equally or give it up.

"Clee!" At this moment, the Sky-Splitting Eagle in Wei Tu's spirit beast bag suddenly cried out a few times.

"What? Are you saying that... the cultivator who entered the entrance to the secret realm was not from the human race, but from the demon race?"

Wei Tu was stunned and surprised when he heard this.

He never expected that the cultivator who was competing with him for the "entrance to the secret realm" was actually a rare "demon" in the Da Cang immortal world.

"Could it be a sea beast nearby?"

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows and thought to himself.

Although the Chi Ming Sea is not as spiritually prosperous as the Guixu Sea, its vast sea area has also given birth to some powerful sea beasts.

If it were a land monster, it would be difficult for it to cross the numerous seas and reach this distant sea to find the entrance to this secret realm. But if it were... a sea monster, then finding the entrance to this secret realm is not unimaginable.

After all, in order to seize the body of another person, the Red Dragon Patriarch had deliberately opened up the formation of this island so that passing cultivators could discover it...

"Sea beasts? Who would have thought that even they knew about the existence of the secret realm of the Royal Palace?"

The Red Dragon Ancestor could also understand the words of the Sky-Splitting Eagle. Like Wei Tu, he guessed the origin of the demon clan that "occupied" the entrance to this secret realm after a little thought.

"Friend Wei, please be careful of these sea beasts. These fourth-level sea beasts are not good creatures."

The Red Dragon Ancestor paused and reminded.

Hearing this, Wei Tu nodded slightly and signaled the Red Dragon Ancestor to explain in detail.

"It is more difficult for sea beasts to achieve enlightenment than for land beasts. However, once they cultivate their spirituality, their strength is comparable to that of the royal family among the monsters..."

As if feeling that this description was not quite accurate, the Red Dragon Patriarch used a figurative character for comparison.

"Each fourth-level sea beast is probably equivalent to Luqiu Jinyuan's level."

"Moreover, unlike when you faced Luqiu Jinyuan, you have no tricks against these thick-skinned sea beasts. Their bodies... are not weaker than those of fourth-level body refiners. They just don't have your 'spiritual bodies'."

The Red Dragon Ancestor said slowly.

"Not weaker than Luqiu Jinyuan?"

Wei Tu's face showed a gloomy expression. Just now, when the Sky-Splitting Eagle was on this deserted island, it had already sensed the auras of at least two sea beasts.

In other words, when he leaves the secret realm of Zunwang Palace, he will have to face at least two powerful enemies like Luqiu Jinyuan?

This pressure... is really a bit too much.

Of course, in Wei Tu's opinion, it would not be difficult for him to survive this disaster. After all, he was quite tough, and even if he couldn't beat these sea beasts, it would not be difficult for him to escape.

"It's just Junior Sister Cao..."

Wei Tu looked at Cao Mi and told him his findings and concerns one by one.

"I missed the secret realm of the Royal Palace. I don't know when I can take the next step and avenge my uncle..."

"If I retreat because of such a small matter, I will not be able to face my uncle in the underworld."

Cao Mi shook her head slightly, a look of determination on her face.

"In this case……"

Seeing this, Wei Tu thought about it and soon came up with a plan.

He thought of the "Cicada God Flower" that Huyan Tu had asked him to obtain in the Divine Master's Mansion a few years ago.

The efficacy of this spiritual medicine, coupled with the help of some spiritual crystals, is enough to help Cao Mi, a cultivator at the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage, to go one step further and break through to the middle Nascent Soul stage.

In this way, Cao Mi's strength will increase greatly. Not only can he provide him with more help within the secret realm of Zunwang Palace, but he will also have enough strength to protect himself when leaving the secret realm.

However, doing so would make Wei appear too despicable and seem like he was "stealing medicine".

“Submit authority when urgent matters arise.”

"Junior Sister Cao has obtained the help of the Cicada God Flower and has broken through the realm. From now on, she will settle this cause and effect with Hu Yantu."

Wei Tu groaned and said.

He did not ask Cao Mi to repay Hu Yantu with an equivalent amount of elixirs, because that was not realistic.

After all, Huyan Tu only provided information about the "Cicada God Flower", not the magical medicine itself.

Entering the secret realm of the Zunwang Palace is an extremely dangerous thing, otherwise Huyan Tu would not have asked him to enter the secret realm to pick this elixir.

However, the specific repayment method will depend on the discussion between Cao Mi and Huyan Tu afterwards.

If Cao Mi is kind and generous, he might repay Hu Yantu with spiritual objects of equal value in the future.

"I know this, little sister."

"I will never make things difficult for Brother Wei Dao."

Hearing this, Cao Mi was delighted, and his eyes towards Wei Tu were filled with gratitude and respect.

She knew that if it weren't for her safety, given Wei Tu's temperament, he would never touch Hu Yantu's "family heirloom" magical medicine.

"That's good."

Wei Tu nodded slightly and said no more.

Then, the two of them no longer hesitated, and turned into a beam of light, came to the center of the island, and began to perform secret techniques to teleport into the secret realm of the Royal Palace.

……

Not long after.

Under the sweep of red light, Wei Tu and Cao Mi walked into an ancient corridor that seemed to be a space passage.

The two looked up to the end of the corridor and saw a majestic palace with a plaque with the words "Zunwang Palace" hanging on it, floating above the sky.

This palace is about a hundred feet high and is made of beautiful jade and exquisite mahogany carvings and structures. It exudes a faint vermilion and purple luster, like the residence of immortals.

“Every corridor is an entrance.”

Wei Tu's eyes flashed with golden light. Through the shielding formation of the corridor, he saw more than 20 corridors similar to this corridor outside this corridor.

At this moment, there were also monks like him walking on these corridors.

However, just as Wei Tu was mobilizing his magic power to take a closer look, he saw a gray light shield near the corridor, blocking his sight.

"Is this royal palace spiritual? Or is the formation created automatically?" Seeing this, Wei Tu couldn't help but be surprised.

But now was not the time for him to think about this. He shook his head and walked to the end of the corridor.

After a while, Wei Tu and Cao Mi reached the end of the corridor. They walked through the corridor and appeared in a hall as a white light flashed.

The whole hall was made of white jade and was several thousand feet in radius. When Wei Tu and Cao Mi arrived, there were already more than a dozen people sitting cross-legged in meditation.
