Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Bathing Water
The medicinal strength of the Nine Profound Mother Root Liquid was completely different from the Spiritual Liquid previously formed by the Spirit Stone.
This was a higher quality energy that had an astonishing nourishing effect on Shi Hao’s body; if one had to make a comparison, it was somewhat similar to the effects of Blood Ginseng, but it far surpassed it.
After all, this was the accumulation of who knows how many years.
The history of White Cloud Sect alone spans three to four hundred years, so it’s highly likely that this place has been undisturbed for three to four hundred years. Even if the Nine Profound Mother Root Tree grew slowly, it must have accumulated much, much Spiritual Liquid.
Three to four hundred years of essence now belonged to Shi Hao, and although certainly some had evaporated, the amount remaining was still terrifying.
The next morning, Shi Hao began practicing the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture.
As his Soul Tentacle opened, Shi Hao “saw” an astonishing amount of energy that, unlike the free-floating energy in the world, was incredibly dense in the pool, much stronger than the Spirit Stone Pool in the Royal Family of the Hua Yuan Nation.
Buzz, a massive amount of energy was absorbed by him, and his strength surged instantly.
One revolution, two revolutions, three revolutions… After nine revolutions, Shi Hao stopped. This time, his strength had increased by a hundred thousand catties, but that was only one aspect. He discovered that his soul had also become much stronger.
This was what mattered most.
Soul Nurturing was all about nurturing the soul. Now that he had not yet stepped into the Soul Nurturing Realm, his soul had already been nourished several times. How strong would he be when he did step into the Soul Nurturing Realm?
Shi Hao laughed heartily, feeling utterly delighted.
Then, he grew somewhat startled.
The Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture could actually strengthen the soul too!
This Cultivation Technique, which plundered the very essence of heaven and earth to nourish oneself, could enhance both the physical body and the soul, was simply monstrous.
No wonder Yuan Chengmie, with all his abilities, had accidentally triggered the restrictions, leading to his complete destruction.
He was increasingly realizing the preciousness of the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture.
He continued practicing the Tyrant Body Technique, and his physical toughness increased further, making him wonder if, in another fight with Tang Yu, he might just stand still and let the other attack without getting hurt at all.
Two days, three days, four days… Time continued to pass, and the Mother Liquid Pool rapidly thinned out.
By only the fifth day, Shi Hao had completely absorbed the pool, and although there was still a pool of clear water left, it no longer contained a trace of Spiritual Liquid.
The Peak of Nine Extremes, Perfection Breaking the Extreme!
Shi Hao smiled. He had cultivated to the extreme end of Breaking the Extreme. On the last day, the benefits of the Spiritual Liquid had actually all been absorbed by his physique and soul. His strength then plateaued at two million catties.
Two million catties!
One must know that a normal person at the Breaking Nine Extremes could only cultivate up to about two hundred and something thousand catties of force, and only a few geniuses could reach three hundred thousand catties, but Shi Hao had pushed this limit to two million catties.
No one would believe it if he told them.
But Shi Hao had no intention of spreading this news.
He happily left the way he came.
As he exited the entrance and proceeded, disappearing around the corner, a figure emerged from another corner.
When Shi Hao turned, he caught a glimpse with the corner of his eye—it was Liu Shixuan.
Huh, Liu Shixuan hasn’t left yet?
The Illusion Array wasn’t difficult to navigate, even on one’s first entry; exploring for three to five days would definitely enable one to find a way out, let alone for Liu Shixuan who had been here before.
Could it be… that he was also after the Nine Profound Mother Root Liquid?
Yes, that must be it.
Hehe, but when that fellow finds the place and sees only his ‘bathing water’ left in the pool, I wonder what his expression will be?
Uh, never mind, he’s not a rogue with voyeuristic desires.
Shi Hao strode away.
Speaking of Liu Shixuan, he naturally also caught a glimpse of Shi Hao’s figure, but he did not pursue.
Now was not the time to trouble this youngster.
Besides, he disdained to do so.
“This should be the place,” Liu Shixuan murmured. He had entered this place three times already; the first two times, he had just passed through quickly, but two years ago, he began to ponder.
If this was also a test, why was there no reward?
Although defeating the stone figure had taken too long and he actually hadn’t received a reward, at least it was visible; he could only say that his own strength was insufficient, which is why he hadn’t obtained it.
But in this challenge, he hadn’t even seen a shadow of a reward.
The more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. After much deliberation, he was sure that there must be a secret place within this illusion array.
So, although he could have left early, he was still searching here.
Finally, he was certain he was about to find the place.
But just as he saw Shi Hao, he was momentarily stunned.
Could it be that the other party had also discovered something?
Impossible.
He immediately reaffirmed, considering he himself had come in twice before he noticed something was amiss; he was such a genius, and it was like this for him, let alone Shi Hao who was here for the first time?
Speaking of intelligence, couldn’t he, Liu Shixuan, completely crush Shi Hao?
So, this must be a coincidence.
Liu Shixuan groped around until he also reached the row of small woods. As he felt each tree, suddenly, his face lit up with joy.
Because his right hand had completely disappeared into the trunk of a tree, as if his arm had suddenly lost a section.
Found it!
He leaned into it, and when he saw a small path appear in front of him, his scalp tingled with excitement.
Found it!
He must be the first person ever to discover this place.
How great could the benefits be?
Perhaps he could leap up to the Nine Steps Soul Nurturing, and then, if he went into seclusion for a while and made a breakthrough to the Other Shore, the White Cloud Sect would not only gain the youngest elder in history, but his succession as the Sect Master would also be set in stone.
After that, he would sweep through the three Great Sects, making the White Cloud Sect the sole ruler of this continent.
Following that, he would explore the secrets of the decline in martial arts on this continent because, a long time ago, the most powerful individuals on this continent were far beyond the Other Shore Realm.
What caused the decline of martial arts?
Why are there so few people with Spirit Roots nowadays?
It is known that a long time ago, it wasn’t just widespread Soul Nurturing everywhere, but at least it was a hundred times more than now!
He was a very ambitious young man, determined to leave behind an eternal legacy.
Soon, he saw the small pool ahead, the Nine Profound Mother Root Tree still there.
“This, this is the Nine Profound Mother Root Tree!” Liu Shixuan recognized it and immediately showed extreme delight; the liquid from this Mother Root Tree had effects on nourishing the soul, exactly what he needed the most.
His scalp tingled with excitement as he bent down, scooped up a handful of the pool water, and drank it down with a face full of reverence.
Hmm?
After waiting for a while, he did not notice any benefits from the liquid.
Uh, there was a little, but it was almost negligible.
What’s going on?
This pool should have been so concentrated with Spiritual Liquid from not being entered for three or four hundred years.
He suddenly shivered, recalling a figure he had spotted earlier.
Could it be?
The other’s clothes seemed a bit wet… Remembering this, he quickly seized upon the detail.
“Wow!” He immediately started vomiting violently, damn it, he had consumed Shi Hao’s bathing water.
What do you think?
