Destiny is ashes

Chapter 519 Scales, Blood, Seed (33)

There is no construction without destruction. This time, An Jing used the root of heaven and earth to absorb spiritual energy containing a large amount of demonic energy, which did damage his own spiritual roots.

Although it was purified using the Tianxuan Zhenfu, this adventure would indeed reduce An Jing's efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy in the recent period.

But who knew that the Tushita Immortal Fire refined the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and condensed the innate Qi, which could not only be used for healing, but also nourish one's own spiritual roots!

“No, to be precise, what is nourishing is my divine power, which is the external manifestation of my spiritual roots. But in essence, it is also gradually transforming the Yin-Yang and Five Elements structure in my body, subtly optimizing my spiritual roots… The results are the same, but the specific details are more complicated!”

At this moment, An Jing also understood a little.

He was now in the process of refining the highest-level Hunyuan Demon Pill in his body, which meant that he had to adjust the five elements in his body to a perfect level.

So, what is the essence of spiritual roots?
Isn’t it the manifestation of the physical body that is most suitable for absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth?

Therefore, as long as An Jing can condense a high-level demon pill, his spiritual roots will also be adjusted to a higher level. In the future, it will be comparable to heavenly spiritual roots, and it is not impossible for them to surpass heavenly spiritual roots.

In this way, we can understand why, when the ancient Qi-refining immortal way was popular, those little demons improved themselves step by step after condensing demon pills, and even their own qualifications were completely changed - because their spiritual roots also advanced with the advancement of the demon pills, and the speed of cultivation was actually getting faster and faster.

The way of demon spirits is the most authentic way of accumulating strength and then developing into a great demon spirit. Initially it may take hundreds or even thousands of years to cultivate from a small demon to the level of a great demon spirit (building the martial vein foundation) and lay a solid foundation, but after that, the practice will be no different from that of a talented human being.

And An Jing went a step further: he had the magical power of enlightenment of the Root of Heaven and Earth. The improvement of his spiritual roots could also improve his all-round control accuracy of spiritual energy and the amount of spiritual energy released in an instant.

The Tushita Immortal Fire released a huge spiritual evil, shining like the sun. The incomparably abundant innate Qi spread towards An Jing's limbs and body with the heart as the center. An Jing calmed his mind and no longer thought about anything else. He concentrated on constructing the demon pill, attracting the Qi of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, watering the demon pill and making it grow gradually.

The roots of An Jing's three spiritual roots were entangled around the demon pill and intertwined with it - and the demon pill also gave rise to many roots. An Jing could tell that the properties of these roots were exactly the 'water' and 'fire' that An Jing still lacked.

And at the core of the demon pill, as the innate qi is continuously infused, the yin and yang energies are also constantly nurtured and woven.

With the blessing of the Tushita Immortal Fire, the growth rate of the demon pill was ten or a hundred times faster than An Jing's own slow practice of refining it. However, because the energy pouring in in a short period of time was too huge, An Jing felt that his meridians began to swell and ache. Moreover, the refining of the immortal fire did not care whether An Jing could absorb and endure it. It radiated like the sun, making the speed of influx faster and faster, and more and more fierce.

It was only because An Jing practiced the Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibition and he had a martial body. Otherwise, let alone practicing, he would have burst in a few breaths.

At this moment, An Jing was sitting cross-legged under the Immaculate Wood tree, with flames dropping from the Tushita Fire above his head. On his body, countless light patterns and veins that looked like tree roots and blood vessels lit up, spreading throughout his body with the spine as the center, wriggling under his skin and flesh, looking quite terrifying.

But in fact, An Jing's injuries were improving at a speed visible to the naked eye - the broken flesh and blood were being filled by the roots and veins derived from the Root of Heaven and Earth, the broken bones began to glue together, and the internal organs were being repaired by the rich life aura that was converted, and even became stronger.

And in this process, An Jing, who was completely calm, vaguely saw a purple-blue light.

His spiritual consciousness was clear, and although it descended from the Purple Mansion and sank into the demon pill, it felt as if it was rising up along the sky and reaching the mysterious gate of heaven and earth.

Because the innate Qi that is gradually taking shape in the demon pill is actually a simulation of the original scenery of the outside world, and the peaceful flesh shell is just the outer shell that nurtures a small world.

His mind was settled. At this moment, his soul was both above and below, both inside and outside.

Inside and outside blended, nature and man became one. An Jing entered a state of unity between nature and man.

"This is……"

At the moment when his mind was completely settled in the demon pill, An Jing's destiny shook, and large waves of heat surged out. Under the flushing of this torrent of feedback from destiny, his spiritual thoughts seemed to be separated from his body, constantly merging with the small world within his body.

This should have been a perception that only martial artists, or even the real person Shenzang, could attempt, but not only did he do it, he did it far better than them... because in addition to the small world within his body, An Jing also had the support provided by destiny.

Following the insights given by destiny, An Jing sensed the situation in the Huaixu Realm [at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth].

That is... a scale.

No. It's a drop of blood.

It is also a seed.

A seed that looked like a scale and also like blood flew from the other side of the boundless Taixu Ocean and finally stayed in the virtual sea.

It is filled with the breath of chaos and destruction, but it is still immortal and still exists. Wisps of breath spread and flow, even the void is stirred, twisted, and collapsed. There is also infinite vitality that evolves into many small worlds in it, which are born and destroyed as they flow.

After an unknown amount of time, the seed finally overcame the pain of destruction. It began to take root, sprout, and then gradually... took root in the sea of ​​​​Void, sprouted branches and leaves, and became a...

tree.

This is a small tree with branches and leaves like flames, illuminating the void. There are endless and complex Taoist patterns on its leaves, and wild grooves and textures like dragon scales on the trunk. The buds and flowers are like dazzling suns. Even the nothingness and chaos are illuminated and burned by the light of the sun, and then transformed into a world that can be recognized and understood.

Stretching its branches, as the purple-blue tree gradually grew, a huge universe took shape in the vast ocean.

Then the heaven and earth opened up.

"Is the fire on this tree... the Tushita Fire? No, it's higher than that. The Tushita Fire is just an imitation of it!"

An Jing opened his eyes wide, he felt that the spiritual energy in his body was being consumed crazily and would be completely used up in an instant - but at this moment, the Tushita Immortal Fire was refining endless spiritual energy for him, which was enough to burst his spiritual energy, but it was all consumed by this scene of [the creation of heaven and earth] manifested by destiny!
"An Jing? What happened?!"

At this moment, Fu Xie also realized that something was wrong. According to his speculation, even with An Jing's extremely strong foundation, he could only last for a day or two at most. He could repair all his injuries and greatly advance the progress of his true spirit blood. That was the limit. The Tushita Immortal Fire was said not to hurt people, but even if it was used to feed people, it could kill them.

But now, the Tushita Immortal Fire was no longer able to kill people. Its energy was being continuously drained away. The flame that had finally recovered a little began to shrink and sway, as if it had become weak and feeble.

What happened! ?

Fu Xie could not see everything that An Jing saw, but An Jing understood that this scene was destiny, and it was what the heaven wanted him to see. It should not be given to him now, but because of the existence of Tushita Immortal Fire and Fu Xie, he got this opportunity, so he can see and understand it now.
