Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 60 Natal Spirit Plants

The three leaves in front of me are each the size of an adult man's palm, with thick and powerful veins, exuding vitality, and golden lightning arcs are wrapped within them, constantly climbing and swirling.

They were like tiny golden snakes, leaping, dancing wildly, wriggling, flicking their tongues.

This further proves Xu Changjun's previous guess: when he brought the leaves of the Thunder God Vine Ancestor to the real world, there was actually a huge loss in the process, and the original power was severely reduced. As his cultivation level improved, this reduction also decreased accordingly.

It seems that a portion of the consumption was offset by its own body.

Ignoring the three vine leaves floating in mid-air, Xu Changyun turned his head with burning eyes to look at the aerial roots of the Nine Heavens Thunder Vine, which were suspended in the very center and twisted constantly like a golden snake about half a meter long.

This is a root from the ancestor of the Nine Heavens Thunder God Vine. It was actually brought here. Its original essence was reduced by more than 99%, but it is still a root of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth!

Xu Changjun felt a surge of excitement; he already knew the greatest use this thing could have for him.

It is of paramount importance and may even determine one's future path of cultivation.

Thinking of this, he took out a jade slip from his storage bag.

With a flick of his finger, the jade tablet trembled slightly, and countless characters appeared on it, displaying a magnificent cultivation chapter as if projected before him.

The secret manual was obtained from Zhou Jinyu, the deputy sect leader of Fenghuang Sect.

The Classic of Longevity of the Spiritual Root of Destiny.

This contains a secret technique from the Fenghuang Sect. The essence contained within may be like chicken ribs to others, at most a minor addition, but for Xu Changjun, it may be the most suitable unparalleled cultivation method for him.

The "Life-Generating Scripture of the Primordial Spiritual Root" was originally a secret technique of the Fenghuang Sect. Although it was said to be kept secret, it was mostly kept on the shelf and gathering dust in the scripture library, so it was not highly valued.

The reason for this is that although this technique seems magical, it actually has many limitations and its real effects are limited and not entirely satisfactory. In addition, this secret technique is a major consumer of resources, so there are usually very few practitioners.

First of all, the very first step in learning this technique excludes 99% of people: those who want to cultivate this scripture must either have a natural wood spiritual root or a constitution that is compatible with spiritual plants.

After all, this technique involves cultivators and spiritual plants working together to realize the Great Dao, integrating the spiritual plants into the cultivation system using their own cultivation methods. It is equivalent to the process of refining a natal artifact, so this technique is also known as the Natal Spiritual Root Technique.

By utilizing this innate spiritual root, cultivators can enhance their physical constitution and their ability to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

Therefore, although this technique is a method of Taoist cultivation, it can also be considered a kind of unorthodox or heretical practice.

There is no essential difference between cultivating together with a spirit beast from the Beast Taming Sect and enhancing one's combat power by using one's natal magic weapon in the Weapon Refining Sect.

They all use all things as a means to cultivate themselves.

This is a common practice in the cultivation world, but each has its own system and has developed into different branches.

However, there is also a common drawback: relying on external aids for cultivation has its limits, and it also requires a lot of resources to improve oneself.

More importantly, this technique has a side effect: the natal spirit object and one's own magical power system will eventually have a repulsive reaction and cannot be perfectly compatible, which greatly reduces the effect. No matter how good everything is, it is not one's own body. The same applies to the self-perfecting system of a cultivator.

However, the situation was quite different for Xu Changjun. He had already tried it before, and the leaves that fell from the Nine Heavens Thunder Vine Ancestor in Thundercloud Valley could be perfectly integrated with himself.

Because in a sense, the Nine Heavens Thunder Ancestor had already been possessed by him, becoming his clone, or rather, one of his two main bodies. Due to certain special reasons, his two bodies were able to merge perfectly without any rejection.

In Xu Changjun's view, if the vine leaves are like this, then the roots should be almost the same.

If his guess is correct, then this cultivation technique will be of great use to him.

Because a single root dropped by the ancestor of the Nine Heavens Thunder Vine will become Xu Changjun's greatest gain from this trip to the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

It must be said that the causes and conditions in the world, and the various wonderful combinations, are hard to fathom.

Zhou Jinyu, the deputy sect leader of Fenghuang Sect, secretly plotted against Xu Changjun because of his Xu family bloodline, but he never expected that he would unintentionally help Xu Changjun reach the Foundation Establishment stage, and now he would personally deliver the most needed cultivation technique to him.

Hiss!

At this moment, the snake demon thunder vine, curled up together, emitted a fearful sound similar to a snake's hiss, especially when Xu Changjun held the wriggling, half-meter-long golden root in his hand.

With a flash of golden electricity, the snake demon thunder vine, which had been curled up, shrank even further.

It was as if the terrifying plant monster, the Serpent Demon Thunder Vine, was also trying its best to hide itself due to the suppression of its bloodline, not wanting to be noticed.

"This aerial root was just a small piece that had fallen from the main root of the vine, but it was incredibly lucky that we were able to pull it out; we almost failed!"

Xu Changjun looked at the roots in his hand, which resembled small golden snakes, and said in a low voice.

Simply holding it in your hand is like holding a cold, golden python. Although it has no head or tail, it still has a strong vitality, constantly wriggling. Its roots are about the thickness of a baby's arm, and golden arcs are flowing on its surface.

The seemingly dry part actually resembled a golden thread constantly swaying, and Xu Changjun could clearly sense that it contained an extremely terrifying power, especially inside.

However, Xu Changjun was even more certain of one thing: when he brought this thing into the real world, its original essence was consumed in countless ways, leaving only a trace of pure essence.

Otherwise, Xu Changjun's true form had deliberately sensed the true form of the Nine Heavens Thunder Vine in the primordial world. At that time, its roots were thousands or even tens of thousands of times stronger than they are now.

Now this thing is in his hands, staying there obediently, simply because the two are of the same origin. This root is equivalent to a hair that fell off the Nine Heavens Thunder Vine, and has no effect on him.

Otherwise, if outsiders were to take control, once its internal energy were unleashed, it would bring unimaginable and terrible consequences in an instant.

"Only by trying it can we know how effective the 'Scripture of Longevity of the Natal Spiritual Root' will be for this golden beard!"

Xu Changjun, having made thorough preparations, activated the secret technique of his natal spiritual root, the Longevity Scripture, following the process he had previously comprehended and studied. Immediately, it produced an immediate effect.
