Chapter 557: Harmonizing the Seven Spirit Roots


"I practiced a Yang attribute cultivation technique? How come I don't know about that?" Yuan Ming said, greatly surprised.

"You really are ignorant. Aren't all body cultivation techniques Yang attribute techniques?" Xi Ying said with a smile.

"Is that so?" Yuan Ming was startled.

"You heard right, body cultivation fundamentally pursues the path of utmost Yang and rigidity, and naturally belongs to the Yang attribute," Xi Ying explained.

Yuan Ming fell silent, carefully recalling the cultivation process and external manifestations of the Demon Image Prison Suppression Skill, which indeed followed a path of Yang and rigidity.

"The Great Thousand World possesses the origin powers of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, Yin, and Yang. Magic practitioners mainly cultivate the Five Elements Spiritual Power of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, while body and soul cultivators correspond to the Yin and Yang powers. Yin power primarily stems from the moon, while Yang power comes from the sun. Your body cultivation realm is not yet profound enough. Only by reaching the Tongqiao Body can you truly understand the essence of body cultivation, channel the Power of the Sun into your body, and experience a qualitative leap in your physical body," Xi Ying explained earnestly.

"So that's how it is," Yuan Ming suddenly understood.

Originally, when he was hiding in Xiansha City for cultivation, Vajra didn't want to stay underground but instead went to train hardship in the Black Wind Desert. That was the reason.

And the body of the Shura Master emitted a blood light that was exceedingly scorching, almost like a blood-red sun.

"Soul cultivation is the same. Only when you cultivate to the Sleep Witch Realm will you be able to comprehend the true intent of the Moonlight Technique," Xi Ying added.

Yuan Ming slowly nodded. Xi Ying's explanation deepened his understanding of body and soul cultivation by a layer.

"Since you cultivate both soul and body, and in addition to the Taiyin Refining Spleen Technique, along with the Innate Four Spirit Roots, though there's an element of ingenuity, you've also assembled the Seven Spirit Roots, perfectly matching with the Undying Tree," Xi Ying said.

"If that's what you say, then I will give it a try," Yuan Ming said, quite excited.

"This matter, though a calamity for you, is also a great opportunity. The mystery of the Undying Tree even surpasses that of the Five Elements Creation Tree. If you can refine it into your lifebound spirit plant, it will not only solve the problem of inferior spirit roots but also bring immeasurable benefits to your future growth," Xi Ying stated gravely.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Ming was very moved. He left the White Jade Lotus Platform, closed his eyes briefly for breathing control, then started to operate the Ju Mang Spirit Technique.

He had previously been very keen on the effects of the Ju Mang Spirit Technique, had studied it secretly for a long time, and had already become proficient enough to cultivate at any time.

Yuan Ming's mana and soul power operated in an unusual manner, eventually permeating into the black seed.

The Ju Mang Spirit Technique and the Beast Taming Technique were quite similar, both involving the appropriation of external objects for one's own use, but whereas the Beast Taming Technique forcefully subdues demon beasts for use, the Ju Mang Spirit Technique does so in a much gentler manner, taming spirit plants.

The black seed was from the Undying Tree, bearing a ferocious and tenacious will. Despite the gentler approach of the Ju Mang Spirit Technique, it still faced significant resistance from the black seed.

Yuan Ming grappled with the black seed for a long time, well aware of its tenacious will, and was not surprised, continuously operating the Ju Mang Spirit Technique.

The Soul Extinguishing Sword, Crow Attack, Sandman Poison did not stop either.

The essence of the Ju Mang Spirit Technique lies in taming, but the spirit of the black seed was stubbornly recalcitrant and a mere soft approach might not be very effective, a bit of force was also necessary.

Time passed slowly, and three days went by in the blink of an eye.

The will of the black seed weakened somewhat, but its resistive attitude did not diminish at all.

"Very well! You really think I have no way to deal with you!" Yuan Ming roared in anger, once again sitting cross-legged on the White Jade Lotus Platform.

His soul power surged once again, and the powers of the Soul Extinguishing Sword, Crow's Call Wave, and even the Ju Mang Spirit Technique, all significantly increased, relentlessly bombarding the will of the black seed.

This time, Yuan Ming was determined. He summoned the All Living Beings Dream Rune, as well as ghost slaves like the Heavenly Ghost Wanderer who had the ability to attack the divine soul.

The illusion power of the All Living Beings Dream Rune, as well as the attacks from the ghost slaves like the Heavenly Ghost Wanderer, also infiltrated the black seed.

Moreover, Yuan Ming also channeled the gathered Desire Power, not using the Heart Cleansing Technique to refine it, but directly transmitted countless chaotic thoughts into the black seed.

However, the will within the black seed was terrifyingly tenacious. Facing such an onslaught, it still managed to hold off the attacks.

Yuan Ming was secretly shocked. If it were him, he wouldn't have been able to withstand so many attacks either; the Undying Tree truly was an extraordinary object.

Nevertheless, he did not back down and continued to maintain various attacks.

Time passed bit by bit, and a month flew by in a flash.

Yuan Ming sat cross-legged on the White Jade Lotus Platform, deploying various divine skills and launching attacks at the black seed.

At this point, his body was covered in red sores, exactly the result of consuming the Red Spirit Peach that produced fire poison.

The tenacity of the will within the black seed far exceeded his expectations, remaining unyielded even after a whole month had passed.

During this month, Yuan Ming's soul power was in peak condition thanks to the supplement of Desire Power, but his mana was not sustained.

He had used up all the recovery lotus seeds on his body, unable to continuously support his mana, so he resorted to consuming the Red Spirit Peach to persist, accumulating a large amount of fire poison in his body, resulting in a body full of poison sores.

Yuan Ming was not worried, knowing that with the Cold Moon Ring, Hua Zhi, Xi Ying, and others around, the poison sores definitely had a solution.

His efforts over the past month had not been in vain, facing the relentless bombardment of attacks, the will of the Black Seed was already on the verge of collapse.

Moreover, the continuous casting for over a month, although arduous, had brought unexpected gains.

The All Living Beings' Dream Rune was now floating above Yuan Ming's head, radiating brilliant light, as a shower of dream-like white light fell from it, sinking into the Black Seed.

The All Living Beings' Dream Rune would cast illusions indiscriminately against friend and foe alike. Previously, Yuan Ming could only control this rune while simultaneously preventing its influence on himself, unable to unleash the full power of the All Living Beings' Dream Rune.

Over the past month, he had been relentlessly invoking the All Living Beings' Dream Rune day and night, wavering between being subjected to illusions and regaining clarity. Unbeknownst to him, his skill in illusions had greatly improved, and the Dream Butterfly Illusion Technique had reached the Illusion Dream Realm, allowing him to control the All Living Beings' Dream Rune relatively smoothly.

The white light of the All Living Beings' Dream Rune, mixed with other attacks, blanketed the Black Seed completely for another two days.

The Black Seed finally could not withstand it anymore, conveying a willingness to be recycled.

Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief, operated the Ju Mang Spirit Technique, and his mana and soul power permeated into the Black Seed.

While the Black Seed was somewhat reluctant, it still released a peculiar spiritual power that contained seven different types of spiritual powers.

"The Black Seed does indeed contain the Seven Spirit Roots." Yuan Ming thought to himself as he cycled the mana in his body, the Earth Attribute mana of the Taiyin Refining Spleen Technique, soul power, and Qi-Blood power intertwined with the seven types of spiritual power from the Black Seed, attempting to connect them together.

This step was crucial as the spirit roots of both parties needed to fully integrate before proceeding to the next step of cultivation.

Yuan Ming had gathered the Seven Spirit Roots, just like the Black Seed, and did not take much effort for the two to completely merge together.

"Indeed, it is possible, the Ju Mang Spirit Technique is successful indeed!" He felt a great joy in his heart and continued to operate the Ju Mang Spirit Technique.

The Black Seed was already tamed by him, and the matching of spirit root attributes was also smoothly completed. The subsequent cultivation went very smoothly, as his mana, soul power, and Qi-Blood slowly merged with the Black Seed.

Yuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily stopped operating the Ju Mang Spirit Technique, and prepared to deal with the fire sores on his body.

But at that moment, the Black Seed grew more roots that pierced into the fire sores on Yuan's body.

The numerous fire sores quickly shrunk and soon disappeared completely.

Yuan Ming wore a look of joy, as the Black Seed could actually help him resolve the fire poison.

Not only the fire poison, but the sandman poison in his spleen also weakened a lot.

With no more worries, Yuan Ming continued to operate the Ju Mang Spirit Technique, his brows quickly raising.

Compared to mana and soul power, the Black Seed seemed to favor the Qi-Blood power more. The black roots embedded themselves throughout his body, and had he not tamed it already, the black roots would have almost drained all his Qi-Blood.

"What a sinister demon tree." Yuan Ming murmured to himself, drawing some Qi-Blood power from the Shura Blood Devouring Map to feed the Black Seed.

The vitality of the Black Seed suddenly became very active, and its surface cracked with a "crack", sprouting a black bud.

Yuan Ming viewed this with surprise, as the Black Seed had just absorbed a bit of Qi-Blood power and had already started to sprout?

After a brief moment of thought, he continued to draw Qi-Blood power from the Shura Blood Devouring Map to supply the Black Seed.

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

Yuan Ming sat cross-legged on the altar, his skin showing bark-like patterns, his hair long and wild like countless roots, and even his fingers had grown black leaves; he looked much like the Tree Man he had seen before.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, spread his fingers, and his arm skin completely turned dark, transforming into a tree branch that grew several meters in length upon meeting the wind, piercing into a lying Green Wolf demon beast beneath the altar.

The corpse of the Green Wolf demon beast quickly withered, all its essence blood drained and flowing into Yuan Ming's Dantian through the black branches.

The Black Seed in his Dantian had undergone a complete transformation, turning into a small black tree.

The small black tree absorbed the blood of the Green Wolf demon beast, its branches waving as if quite pleased.

"This Undying Tree is growing really fast; in just a year, it has reached such a stage, the Ju Mang Spirit Technique probably counts as reaching the First Level now," Yuan Ming muttered to himself.

The Ju Mang Spirit Technique, according to the growth st
