626: The Spirit Ruins Inheritance, Su Ling'er's Enlightenment

Inside the Spirit Root Hall, a lustrous white spiritual light spread out from the spirit root core, filling the entire hall like a tide. The translucent spirit root core was currently trembling slightly, its roots stretching and spreading as they burrowed into the terrestrial veins of the Lingxu Realm, continuously channeling rich Vegetation Origin Spiritual Qi to every corner of the Lingxu Realm. The spirit plants along the way revived one after another, and even the ancient trees of Qinglan Valley seemed to emit joyful tremors.

Su Linger stood by the Spirit Root Platform. The Spirit Root Fragments at her waist had already flown out on their own, hovering above her head and facing the spirit root core from a distance. The lustrous white spiritual light on the fragments intertwined with the core's Origin spiritual light like two merging streams, becoming indistinguishable from one another. From the moment the spirit root core was activated, Su Linger felt a pull originating from her Soul. It was the call of the purest Lingxu Realm spirit root inheritance, a resonance of the Green Sprout lineage spanning across eons.

"The Spirit Root Fragments return to the source; the inheritance begins!" Tree Spirit Elder's voice carried a hint of solemnity. He raised his hand and performed a hand seal to draw a wisp of Vegetation Origin Spiritual Qi, injecting it into the spiritual light bond between the fragments and the core.

In an instant, the spirit root core erupted with ten thousand feet of lustrous white light. A majestic and peerless Lingxu Origin Power surged frantically into Su Linger's body through the spiritual light bond. This power was gentle and mellow, carrying the Vitality and will of the Lingxu Realm's myriad spirit plants, washing over her Meridians, Golden Core, and even her Divine Soul. Su Linger felt the spiritual power within her surging like a tide. The originally stable Peak Golden Core barrier shattered with a bang, and the Golden Core in her Dantian began to rotate, condense, and transform. A completely emerald Nascent Soul, surrounded by Vegetation Spiritual Qi, slowly took shape—this was a spirit plant nascent soul unique to the Lingxu Realm, possessing the Vitality of ten thousand plants and capable of resonating with all spirit plants in the world.

Su Linger had actually broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage in one fell swoop during the baptism of the spirit root inheritance!

At the moment the Nascent Soul formed, countless spirit plant Profound Truths suddenly flooded into her Sea of Consciousness. These Profound Truths came from Green Sprout's lifelong insights and the eons-old inheritance of the spirit root core, ultimately condensing into a supreme Spirit Plant Technique—the "Spirit Plant Creation Art." Based on the spirit plant nascent soul, this technique could manifest high-grade spirit plants out of thin air, repair the world's Spiritual Veins with vegetation Vitality, and even bring withered spirit plants back to life. It was the ultimate technique of the Lingxu Realm's spirit plant inheritance.

Just as the "Spirit Plant Creation Art" was fully comprehended, a crisp clicking sound rang out. A lustrous white Jade Slip, carved with the runes of ten thousand plants, dropped from the top of the spirit root core and rolled to Su Linger's feet. On the Jade Slip, the words "Lingxu Inheritance Perfection Art" were clearly written. A sweep of her Divine Thought revealed that this technique could stabilize the Origin of the spirit root inheritance, allowing Su Linger to completely control the power of the spirit plant nascent soul and perfectly merge the Lingxu inheritance with her own cultivation without any remaining barriers.

"Congratulations, Miss Linger, on obtaining the complete spirit root inheritance and breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage!" Tree Spirit Elder was full of joy. Qing Lan and the Spirit Essences of the Spirit Plant Legion also bowed one after another, their eyes filled with awe. A complete spirit root inheritor, who only appeared once in a thousand years in the Lingxu Realm, had finally emerged today.

Su Linger slowly opened her eyes. The Vegetation Spiritual Qi around her body gradually withdrew into her. The spirit plant nascent soul floated quietly in her Dantian, still maintaining a faint resonance with the spirit root core. She reached out to pick up the "Lingxu Inheritance Perfection Art" and a slight smile appeared on her lips. Turning to look at Huang Xiaolong, her eyes were full of delight: "Senior Brother Huang, I've broken through! I've also comprehended the 'Spirit Plant Creation Art' and can now refine War Immortal Pills to aid your cultivation!"

As she finished speaking, Su Linger raised her hand and performed a hand seal, activating the "Spirit Plant Creation Art." Spiritual light flickered at her fingertips, and countless high-grade spirit plants instantly grew on the open ground beside the Spirit Root Platform: Thousand-Year Spirit Orchids, Ten-Thousand-Year Vermilion Fruits, Nine-Revolution Immortal Grass... all were supreme treasures for refining Immortal Pills. She then took out the wood spirit pearl, squeezed out the Sixth-Rank Wood Spirit Origin Essence from within, and drew a wisp of vegetation Vitality from the spirit root core. She threw all these Materials into the already prepared Pill Furnace, using the Vegetation Spiritual Qi of her spirit plant nascent soul as fire to begin refining the War Immortal Pills.

Above the Pill Furnace, spiritual light swirled as the Vegetation Spiritual Qi and Spirit Essences merged, emitting a rich pill fragrance. In less than half an hour, the lid of the Pill Furnace automatically popped open. Three Medicinal Pills, a mix of gold and green and emitting a dual spiritual light of Battle Qi and Vitality, leaped out of the furnace. These were precisely the War Immortal Pills. Using high-grade spirit plants from Lingxu as Materials and merging wood spirit Origin with spirit root Vitality, these pills could augment the power of a war immortal nascent soul, adding vegetation Vitality to one's Battle Qi for both offense and defense.

Huang Xiaolong took the War Immortal Pills and swallowed one. The pill melted upon entering his throat, turning into a gold-and-green energy that surged into his Dantian, nourishing his war immortal nascent soul. The already solid war immortal nascent soul instantly erupted with even more majestic power, and a faint layer of Vegetation Spiritual Qi appeared within the Battle Qi surrounding the Nascent Soul, increasing his combat power by thirty percent! At the moment the War Immortal Pill's effects were fully refined, another crisp clicking sound rang out. A Jade Slip engraved with the "War Immortal Pill Refining Technique" dropped from the Pill Furnace into Su Linger's hand, detailing the refining ratios and heat control for the War Immortal Pill, which would allow her to refine even higher-level War Immortal Pills in the future.

"Linger's Alchemy skills have actually reached such a Realm." Huang Xiaolong's eyes were full of admiration. While his war immortal nascent soul's power was augmented, the dual realm imprint on his forehead also flickered with a more brilliant gold-and-red light due to the integration of vegetation Vitality. It echoed the emerald spiritual light of the spirit plant nascent soul, unexpectedly creating a mysterious sense of Fusion.

Tree Spirit Elder watched this scene with a gratified expression. He walked slowly to Su Linger and said in a deep voice, "Miss Linger, you are the complete spirit root inheritor of the Lingxu Realm. You hold the spirit ruins guardian seal and master the Spirit Plant Creation Art. From now on, the Spirit Plant Legion of the Lingxu Realm shall be led by you!"

With that, Tree Spirit Elder waved his hand, and a jade tablet engraved with the Spirit Plant Legion Seal flew toward Su Linger. This tablet could command all Spirit Essences and the Spirit Plant Legion of the Lingxu Realm, from sixth-rank Spirit Essences down to first-rank wood spirits. The Spirit Plant Legion was the strongest combat force in the Lingxu Realm; with this legion in hand, Su Linger's strength reached a new level.

Qing Lan also stepped forward, holding a crystal that was translucent and emitted rich Vegetation Spiritual Qi, and handed it to Huang Xiaolong: "Senior Brother Huang, this is a lingxu spirit crystal. It is formed from the vegetation Origin essence condensed by the spirit root core over ten thousand years. It can be merged into your war immortal nascent soul, allowing the Nascent Soul to possess the power of Vitality, so it can automatically repair itself using vegetation Vitality when damaged."

Huang Xiaolong took the lingxu spirit crystal and could clearly feel the majestic Vitality contained within. He activated the War Immortal Dao Unification Art, crushed the spirit crystal, and merged it into his Dantian. The vegetation Origin essence of the spirit crystal fused with the war immortal nascent soul. A faint layer of emerald spiritual light instantly grew on the surface of the Nascent Soul, and a hint of vegetation patterns appeared on the dual realm imprint on his forehead. From then on, his war immortal nascent soul not only possessed the dual power of Battle Qi and Immortal Qi but also carried the vegetation Vitality of the Lingxu Realm, greatly enhancing both combat power and endurance.

At the moment the spirit crystal merged, a crisp clicking sound rang out, and a Jade Slip engraved with the "Spirit Crystal Fusion Art" appeared out of thin air and fell into Huang Xiaolong's hand. This technique could perfectly merge the Origin Power of various spirit crystals with a Nascent Soul without wasting a single bit of energy, which was exactly the technique Huang Xiaolong needed most right now.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of their gains, the lustrous white spiritual light of the spirit root core suddenly distorted slightly, and a faint light screen emerged within the light. On the light screen was a crisscrossing energy network connecting several worlds, such as the Lingxu Realm, the Xuanhuang Great World, and Earth. It was precisely the seven realms spirit web. However, there were several subtle cracks on that spirit web, and a faint energy was constantly leaking from the cracks. The Vitality of the spirit root core was being continuously swallowed by these cracks.

"Is this... an Energy Leak in the seven realms spirit web?" Tree Spirit Elder's expression suddenly darkened. He raised his hand to gently stroke the spirit root core, his eyes full of solemnity. "The spirit root core is connected to the seven realms spirit web. When I activated the core just now, I sensed several leaks on the spirit web. Those leaks are constantly swallowing the Origin energy of the myriad worlds. If they aren't repaired in time, it won't be long before the seven realms spirit web completely shattered. The passages between the myriad worlds will also close, and it might even trigger chaos in the world's Spiritual Veins!"

seven realms spirit web! Energy Leaks!

Huang Xiaolong and Su Linger looked at each other, a hint of solemnity flashing in their eyes. They had thought that after purging the evil from the Lingxu Realm, they could take a short break, but they didn't expect a new crisis to appear. The seven realms spirit web was the key to connecting the myriad worlds. If the spirit web shattered, all worlds would fall into crisis.

"Tree Spirit Elder, what level of strength is required to repair the seven realms spirit web?" Huang Xiaolong asked in a deep voice.

"At least the power of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator is required, and one must travel to the Origin lands of each world to repair the leaks with Origin Power," Tree Spirit Elder said slowly. "The core leak of the seven realms spirit web is near the Dao Platform in the Hongmeng Ultimate Realm. That is the hub of the spirit web and also the most difficult place to repair."

Hongmeng Ultimate Realm! Dao Platform!

The dual realm imprint on Huang Xiaolong's forehead grew slightly hot. His war immortal nascent soul and the spirit plant nascent soul trembled simultaneously, as if sensing the call of the Hongmeng Ultimate Realm. He clenched his fists and turned to look at Su Linger: "Linger, since the seven realms spirit web is in trouble, let's begin our journey of repair. Starting from the Origin lands of each world, we will repair the leaks step by step and guard the peace of the myriad worlds!"

Su Linger nodded heavily. The spirit plant nascent soul rotated gently in her Dantian, and the spirit ruins guardian seal hovered in her palm, its emerald spiritual light flickering. "Senior Brother Huang, I will go with you! The Spirit Plant Creation Art can repair Spiritual Veins; it will surely help you repair the spirit web's leaks!"

Tree Spirit Elder looked at the determined expressions of the two, his eyes full of praise: "Miss Linger, young friend Huang, the Lingxu Realm will always be your backup! The Spirit Plant Legion is on standby at any time, willing to go with you to the Seven Realms to repair the spirit web!"

Qing Lan also stepped forward, holding a Spirit Plant Longsword with a determined expression: "Senior Sister Su, Senior Brother Huang, I am willing to lead the Spirit Essences of Qinglan Valley to embark on this journey of repair with you!"

Inside the Spirit Root Hall, the lustrous white spiritual light of the spirit root core continued to spread. The light screen of the seven realms spirit web hovered quietly in mid-air. Those subtle cracks were like alarm bells, constantly reminding everyone that the crisis had not yet been resolved.

The Lingxu inheritance had been obtained, both had broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage, their combat power had greatly increased, and the Spirit Plant Legion had been won over. A journey to repair the spirit web across the Seven Realms was about to begin. And the Dao Platform in the Hongmeng Ultimate Realm was becoming the ultimate goal of their trip. Not only was the core leak of the seven realms spirit web there, but unknown opportunities and crises were also hidden within.
