Offering my divine power to break my karma

Chapter 13: Exploring the Secret of One's Own Spiritual Roots

As for what Zero is looking for?

Zero is exploring the secret of his spiritual roots.

Five years ago in Merlin, when he first learned to practice, Ling discovered that his spiritual roots were different from those of the original owner. He also witnessed with his own eyes that his eight spiritual roots, after absorbing spiritual energy at the same time, merged into one colorful spiritual root.

At that time, after only hesitating for half a second, Zero decisively decided to conceal the situation of his spiritual roots and chose to find the answer himself.

Unfortunately, Ling read all the books on the first and second floors of the library, but did not find any information about his spiritual roots.

Unable to find any information and not wanting to expose the condition of his spiritual roots, Ling finally decided to practice first, and when his cultivation level improved, he would go to a higher-level library to look for answers.

Now, Zero was looking for the answer on the third and fourth floors of the library. Unfortunately, there were no clues on the third floor.

More than half a month later, on the fourth floor of the library, Zero walked to the last row of bookshelves with floating footsteps and pale lips. He stretched out a trembling hand, took out the first book, and turned the first page calmly, but in fact he used his powerful mental power to engrave the contents of the entire book directly into his mind.

After a few minutes, after writing down everything, Zero put the book back and moved on to the next one.

When Zero's mental strength was almost at its limit, he finally found what he wanted in the last book on the last row of bookshelf.

Looking at the words "special spiritual roots" in the book, Ling closed the book speechlessly, and then looked carefully at the cover of the book in his hand.

Very good, there is nothing written on the cover.

Tsk, I don’t know what the senior who wrote this book was thinking. If you don’t open the book, you will never know what is written in it.

It's just... a bit sinister.

After admiring the excellent mental state of a certain senior, Ling curled his lips weakly but with satisfaction, retracted his almost overdrawn mental strength, found an empty corner, sat down directly on the spot, and began to flip through the book in his hand.

Half an hour later, Ling, who was about to finish reading the entire book, finally saw the information he wanted on a certain page.

(Chaos spiritual roots are also called all-attribute spiritual roots. For cultivators with chaos spiritual roots, no matter which attribute they cultivate, other attributes will increase accordingly, and the cultivation speed is far faster than that of heavenly spiritual roots.

Cultivators with chaotic spiritual roots can be said to be the darlings of heaven, and even the heavenly thunder will take special care of people with this spiritual root attribute.)

Ling's gaze fell on the four words "Chaos Spiritual Root" and he seemed to be thinking about something.

Chaos spiritual root? All-attribute spiritual root?

No matter which attribute you improve, the other attributes will increase accordingly?

Hmm, it seems to be somewhat similar to the attributes of my colorful spiritual root.

However, all attributes should also include light and dark spiritual roots, but mine does not have both light and dark spiritual roots.

This, it's right, but it also seems like it's not completely right, which is a bad feeling.

"Long Aotian, are you there?"

I closed my eyes and called out the name in my mind that I hadn’t thought of in five years.

The other foundation-building monks on the fourth floor who had witnessed with their own eyes that Ling had read all the books on the fourth floor, saw that Ling closed his eyes to rest, and they couldn't help but slow down their movements.

After a long while, there was silence in the sea of consciousness.

Just when Zero thought that the dormant system had not yet awakened from its hibernation, a familiar baby voice sounded in Zero's sea of consciousness.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm here, I'm here. Long time no see, ancestor."

"I haven't seen you for a few years. You are even more beautiful, gorgeous, dazzling, radiant, inexperienced, yet you are so good at explaining things in simple terms. You are superb, superb, resourceful, resourceful..."

zero:"……"

Where does the illiteracy system come from?

Not wanting to listen to his uneducated system's nonsense anymore, Ling asked:

"When did you come out of hibernation?"

Hearing Ling's question, Long Aotian immediately replied in a flattering manner:

"Ancestor, Aotian just woke up. He woke up when he heard your call. Ancestor, are we very in tune with each other?"

zero:"……"

Not wanting to have a tacit understanding with the illiterate system, Zero avoided such a boring topic and asked instead:

"Before you went into hibernation, you said that you wanted me to build my foundation before I turned 15. I'm already in the middle stage of building my foundation, and I've completed my mission. So, where's my reward?"

Hearing that Ling Yi only wanted a reward and had no intention of reminiscing about the past, Long Aotian couldn't help but said in a childish voice:

“Ancestors…”

"Don't call me ancestor."

Hearing the baby voice calling him ancestor, Ling couldn't help but interrupt.

"Just call me host."

"Okay, ancestor. No problem, ancestor."

zero:"……"

"Host, don't you miss me?"

"In no mood!"

"We haven't seen each other for five years..."

"Not familiar!"

Zero answered quickly and indifferently.

Long Aotian: “.”

"Host, how can you be so heartless, so heartless, and so unreasonable..."

"Shut up!"

"Yingga..."

Rubbing his brows, Ling was sure that his system was not only weak, but also stupid.

Not wanting to waste time, Zero asked again:

"Okay, let's talk about the reward."

Hearing the impatience in Ling's tone, Long Aotian didn't dare to play tricks anymore and obediently distributed the rewards:

"Congratulations to the host for completing the task of building a foundation before the age of fifteen. I am rewarded with five top-grade spirit stones. I hope the host will continue to work hard and strive to cultivate to become a god as soon as possible."

When he heard that the reward was five top-grade spirit stones, Ling raised his eyebrows and thought it was not bad.

Spirit stones are the universal currency in the world of immortal cultivation and are also essential for cultivation. They are divided into low-grade spirit stones, medium-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones and top-grade spirit stones.

1000 low-grade spirit stones are equal to one medium-grade spirit stone.

1000 medium-grade spirit stones are equal to one high-grade spirit stone.

A high-quality spirit stone is equal to a top-quality spirit stone.

Ling is in Qingyun Sect, and as Qingyu's direct disciple, Ling receives a monthly profit of twenty high-quality spirit stones.

An income of twenty high-quality spirit stones per month is already considered the best in the world of immortal cultivation, and is a treatment only enjoyed by the direct disciples of large sects.

In addition, Ling's cheap master has given her a lot of spirit stones in the past five years, so Ling can be considered a small wealthy woman.

But even as a direct disciple of the four major sects, with help from his master from time to time, Ling has not had a single top-grade spirit stone so far, which shows how precious top-grade spirit stones are.

"Aotian, where do you keep my prize? Can I keep it with you temporarily?"

Glancing at the situation around him, Zero frowned and asked.

"Of course you can. Host Aotian has two hours to store the prize. You only need to take it out within two hours."

"Ah."

Hearing the answer that satisfied him, Ling hummed lightly.

"Aotian, do you know the difference between me and the original owner Murong Ling?"

Long Aotian, who was still immersed in the joy of his host exceeding the task, was stunned when he heard Ling's sudden question.

Huh? Difference?

What's the difference?

What is the difference between his host and the original owner Murong Ling?

Aren’t they all the same person?

Oh, no, it should be same body, different soul.
