One pound of meat equals one attribute point.

Chapter 441: Control the Path, Return and Awaken
Every innate spiritual root in Changshengtian possesses incredible power and has lived for a long time.

Moreover, according to what Ji Huaxi said before.

The Lingxu Daomu once appeared in the material world and was called the Jianmu spiritual root by the ancestors at that time.

Such an ancient tree has a considerable wisdom. If you simply treat it as a precious spiritual object that can be granted, you will only put yourself in danger. Su Heng did not intend to play any extreme tug-of-war with Lingxu Daomu. In his eyes, if he could refine Lingxu Daomu completely, that would naturally be the best.

Not only can you master a powerful and meaningful path, but you can also gain spiritual power continuously.

But even if I can't do that.

Just treat Lingxu Daomu as a disposable consumable.

It's not unacceptable to eat it all.

After all, as an innate spiritual root, Lingxu Daomu itself is equivalent to the top-level secret medicine for spiritual practice.

The essence contained in it is enough to elevate Su Heng's spiritual cultivation to a strong level.

Therefore, after a little thought, Su Heng acted decisively.

boom!
He raised his finger.

As dark red spots of light emerged, they gathered at the fingertips.

Another beam of blazing light pierced through the void, spanning tens of thousands of meters and landing next to Lingxu Daomu.

Although it was just a casual attack, its power should not be underestimated. As the orange-red flames expanded, a mushroom cloud about the same height as the Lingxu Dao Wood slowly rose. The earth trembled continuously, and many broken rocks were blown thousands of meters into the air, and then fell down with a crash.

Feel the scorching temperature and destructive power.

Lingxu Daomu immediately stood still, not daring to move.

At this time, Su Heng's voice was transmitted to Lingxu Daomu's consciousness very clearly from a long distance, "I know you can understand what I say. I don't want to waste time, so I won't say any unnecessary nonsense."

Su Heng's eyes flashed with a dark red light. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Listen carefully. I'll give you two choices."

"Either you submit obediently and be used by me as my servant, or I will tear you apart and eat you."

The wind blew across the ground, stirring up dust.

Under normal circumstances, there is no air in Changshengtian, only nothingness.

However, this broken world is an exception. Because of its own weight, it captures some of the empty gas around it through gravity.

Lingxu Daomu seemed unable to understand Su Heng's words, and seemed to have adopted another way of resistance.

At this time, just stand still and don't make any other reactions.

Su Heng grinned and said, "Three."

"two"

"One..." when the last number came out of his mouth.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound from Lingxu Daomu's body, and its originally huge body quickly shrank.

Enshrouded in a hazy white light, it turned into a nine-branched basswood tree, about ten meters high. After the light faded, it looked ordinary and would not attract anyone's attention if placed in a deep mountain.

Swish!
Su Heng took a step forward.

He immediately crossed a distance of tens of thousands of meters and came to the side of Lingxu Daomu.

As he stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the rough and black branches of the Lingxu Dao tree, the huge branches also trembled slightly, causing the leaves to rub against each other and making a rustling sound.

As if to show obedience.

Su Heng then injected his mental power into it.

As a sacred tree that controls the path of the soul, the spiritual power of Lingxu Daomu is also extremely strong.

However, with its active cooperation, the refining process was extremely smooth. As golden rays of light appeared on the body of the Lingxu Dao Wood, Su Heng felt that this ancient tree was like an extension of his will, and he could even observe the external environment through the Lingxu Dao Wood. Su Heng also had some vague understanding of the path controlled by the Lingxu Dao Wood.

of course……

Such refining is only preliminary.

If you want to fully tap the potential of your innate spiritual roots, you will need to spend time developing them.

Even so, at the moment of establishing connection with Lingxu Daomu.

Su Heng could already feel the endless flow of spiritual power into his body, just like a huge reservoir storing water through a river. A stream of coolness spread from Su Heng's brain, and he could clearly feel that his consciousness was becoming more acute and active.

First close your eyes and feel it carefully.

Then Su Heng reached out and took the Lingxu Dao Wood back into the flesh and blood furnace, intending to plant it again after returning to the blood world.

After finishing all this, Su Heng turned around and his gaze fell on Ji Huaxi again.

Ji Huaxi seemed a little nervous at this time.

After all, Lingxu Daomu is her "ransom fee". If Su Heng is not satisfied with the effect after refining it, or if the other party goes back on his word, then she will really be at a loss.

Before heading to Changshengtian, Ji Huaxi was still thinking of fighting to the death if all else failed. Now, feeling the lingering heat in the air, this thought also disappeared.

"What do you want to do?" Ji Huaxi stared, but his face was full of lack of confidence.

"The effect of Lingxu Daomu is better than I expected. Although there were some twists and turns in the process, I am very satisfied with the result." Su Heng said calmly, "Now our transaction is over. From now on, you are free."

"call!"

After hearing this news from Su Heng, Ji Huaxi felt relieved.

"I didn't expect you to be such a trustworthy person. I was right about you." Ji Huaxi stretched out his hand and patted Su Heng's arm in a familiar manner.

She first felt relieved, and then a little confused.

Ever since my father was injured.

She kept her spirits high.

On the one hand, he has to search for medicine in Changshengtian, and on the other hand, he has to guard against the collapse of the mythological battlefield.

At the same time, he also needs to deal with government affairs and face the endless temptations from aristocratic families and immortal sects.

Even though Ji Huaxi's realm is extremely high, his physique is not human.

If you keep doing this for too long, you'll start to feel a bit overwhelmed.

Before, Ji Huaxi was knocked down by Su Heng’s punch and was in a coma for more than ten days.

At that time, Su Heng was still curious. He had clearly held back during the fight, and Ji Huaxi's condition did not look particularly bad, so how come she hadn't woken up for such a long time?

Now that I think about it, it might have something to do with being too tired before.

But for Ji Huaxi.

During this time in the blood world, I didn't have to think about anything and could concentrate on my cultivation. Although my freedom was restricted, it was a rare enjoyment.

Thinking about the huge mess I would have to face when I returned to the empire.

Ji Huaxi suddenly felt a little lost.

Su Heng didn't expect that the eldest princess had so much inner drama.

Seeing Ji Huaxi looking worried in front of him, Su Heng just thought it was because of the Eight-Nine Profound Art.

Ji Huaxi could certainly copy the contents, but the eight stone tablets contained the true meaning of the martial arts left by Su Heng, which could not be imitated no matter what. So after leaving the blood realm, even with the original source of the mysterious skills and the artistic conception map, the effect of his practice was definitely not as good as before.

After all...

When the realm is elevated to a certain level.

The insights gained from his practice have surpassed the scope of what can be described by words and pictures.

Since the teachings were passed down till now, Ji Huaxi was the first one to learn the Eight-Nine Profound Art. In a sense, it was not an exaggeration for her to call Su Heng "Master".

In a world where individuals have great power, the grace of preaching is of great importance.

It’s just that Su Heng doesn’t like these mundane things, so he never cares about them.

"When you have free time in the future and want to come back to practice, the Blood Realm will still open its doors to you. After you return this time, I will give instructions to Li Hongxiu." Su Heng said casually.

Ji Huaxi was stunned at first, and then a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Thank you!"

She clasped her hands in front of her chest and bowed respectfully to Su Heng.

Su Heng nodded in agreement. He glanced around and said, "Since the matter here has been settled, it is not easy for us to stay for long. Let's leave first."

"it is good!"

……

……

……

The environment in Changshengtian is strange and uncertain.

Su Heng and Ji Huaxi's journey here was relatively smooth, but on the way back they encountered several chaotic turbulences and were even attacked by some strange energy bodies.

Fortunately, Su Heng was strong enough, and those huge whale-like energy bodies were defeated by him.

It's just a pity.

The energy body quickly dissolves after being defeated.

Merging with the chaotic turbulence in Changshengtian, Su Heng was unable to gain any attribute points from them.

Although I suffered some minor losses, I also gained a deeper understanding of Changshengtian.

During the Zhou Dynasty, demons were divided into four different categories: goblins, ghosts and monsters.

However, such experience obviously cannot be applied to Changshengtian. The environment here is more complicated, and some of the lives here were even created by some ancient races.

Because of the delay of this matter.

Su Heng spent a few more days on the return journey.

But in the end, they still returned to the Zhou Dynasty smoothly.

Su Heng will return to the Blood Realm next to further refine the Lingxu Dao Wood and enhance his mental strength.

After his mental strength is tempered to perfection, Su Heng will be able to try to open up his own path. If he succeeds, his strength will surely rise to another level.

Although Su Heng is very powerful now, he can truly be said to be invincible.

But not necessarily.

Just like the toad demon he encountered in Changshengtian, it was already qualified to pose some threat to him.

Even in the Zhou Dynasty, there were always some existences that made Su Heng feel extremely mysterious.

Ji Huaxi also has a lot to do.

What she was most worried about was the mythical battlefield, the Wanyuan Plain.

Although Emperor Wu risked his life to resolve the crisis, many passes on the Wanyuan Plain were also destroyed in that battle.

If there is another powerful person with the power of destruction who wants to start an uprising.

Then the road from Changshengtian to Zhongzhou would be smooth, but the current Zhou Dynasty can no longer afford such turmoil.

She is also always worried about her brother, the third prince Ji Xuance.

"Then, let's say goodbye." Ji Huaxi bowed to Su Heng, then turned around and turned into a stream of red light, quickly disappearing among the rolling mountains in the distance.

After saying goodbye to Ji Huaxi.

Su Heng did not stop and returned to the blood world.

As soon as he stepped into the land of the Blood Realm, he was surprised to find that the environment here had changed a lot.

When Su Heng left the blood world, the city under Mount Tibor was still in its infancy, but now it has been basically completed. There are neat gray-white houses lined up one after another, clean and bright streets, as well as a landmark martial arts field and huge sculptures. Outside is a large field with dark red wheat growing in clusters.

"Have I been away for a long time?" Su Heng was suddenly surprised and reached out to touch his chin.

As the will of the blood realm, Li Hongxiu felt something the moment Su Heng returned, and at this time she appeared behind Su Heng silently like a ghost.

"About three months, sir." Li Hongxiu replied calmly.

"Really?" Su Heng frowned.

All in all, it did take some time on the way back.

But the round trip would definitely not take more than a month, and I didn't expect there would be such a big difference.

Thinking about it this way, it should be the reason for the chaos turbulence that caused the disorder in time. He remembered the story of "Lan Ke Ren", which was just an allusion passed down by word of mouth in the original world. But in Changshengtian, it is a very likely situation. Thinking of this, Su Heng even felt a little creepy in his heart.

Fortunately, he is strong enough, and Ji Huaxi is experienced.

After realizing something was wrong, he quickly broke away from the turbulence.

Otherwise, if you are dragged into the depths of Changshengtian, even if you can come back in the end, you don’t know how many hundreds or even thousands of years it will be.

By then, in this vast world, I’m afraid I won’t be able to find even one acquaintance.

"Um……"

With this thought, Su Heng immediately made up his mind, "It's better to go to Changshengtian less often unless it's necessary in the future."

Three months is neither short nor long.

Su Heng asked, "Has anything happened during this period of time?"

"Yes, two things happened." As a qualified lackey, Li Hongxiu was obviously well prepared. She spoke without hesitation, "The first thing happened in Zhongzhou. One month after Emperor Wu died, the third prince Ji Xuance ascended the throne and was named Emperor Yuan of Zhou."

Su Heng nodded, "Then what about the second thing?"

Li Hongxiu continued with a gloomy look, "As for the second thing, boom——"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a sudden loud noise. Su Heng looked in the direction of the sound and saw a corner of the block explode with a bang, white air waves splashed everywhere, and several fully armed dragon guards also flew into the air and fell heavily to the ground.

Amid the cheers, a scarlet figure leaped out like lightning with a piercing scream.

"This is the second thing that happened." In front of Su Heng, Li Hongxiu shrugged her shoulders with a helpless expression on her face.
