I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life
Chapter 336 - 196: Beheading the Demon Chief
The limit of lifespan has four hundred and nine left. If fully added, it can reach the level of a Celestial Spirit Root.
This would be an extraordinary start for the next life since the spirit root added will be possessed from birth in the next life.
Looking throughout the world, even the most flourishing Dynasty of Central State would find a Celestial Spirit Root exceedingly exceptional.
For once you’ve reached the realm of Celestial Spirit Root, you are already favored by the heavens, a beloved child of the sky, with infinite possibilities on the path of cultivation.
No longer constrained by any Heaven and Earth Laws.
All that’s needed are resources, fortune, and the tempering of one’s temperament, and of course, the right timing.
However, there are too many examples in the world of favored children with Celestial Spirit Roots who die young, destroy their own path, or willingly fall into decay, ultimately blending into the mundane crowd.
Most often due to a lack in temperament.
Few due to unfortunate luck.
Li Jizhou was content with having a Celestial Spirit Root. With the temperament forged from two lifetimes and numerous skills in cultivating immortality, he felt capable of seeking the Dao.
However, at the moment, Li Jizhou wasn’t planning to use the remaining lifespan limit.
If it were all added now, his lifespan would instantly hit zero, resulting in immediate death.
Anyway, in the next life, he’d be born with a Celestial Spirit Root. Even if he must die now, upon reaching the age for cultivation in the next life, with full Qi Sensitivity, ready for Qi Cultivation, he’d awaken Innate Wisdom and add the four hundred and nine points then.
Moreover, it’s not a situation where death is certain at this moment, as he still holds his greatest card undisclosed, just preparing for unexpected events.
After allocating the points, he glanced again at the two lifetimes of images on the Reincarnation Treasure Mirror,
The first lifetime remained unchanged — an elder holding a Pill Furnace, appearing old and tired, showed no transformation.
The image of the second lifetime completely lit up and overlapped with his current self.
On this world’s mirror, his graceful and unrestrained figure stood still, left hand holding a Pill Furnace, right hand clutching a talisman pen,
Behind him, two small flags labeled "Medicine" and "Poison" fluttered, and a blacksmith’s hammer looked even more robust.
A circle of treasure talismans spun and appeared around his waist, emanating golden light.
The intricate array pattern beneath his feet grew clearer, emitting dazzling brilliance.
The puppet to his left was no longer constantly flipping and jumping but stood tall and dignified.
Besides, ten Shadow throwing knives flew freely within the treasure mirror, appearing and disappearing at will.
A Blood Mosquito suddenly flew out, then hid in the darkness.
"With these seven most mainstream techniques of cultivation inheritance, resources in the early stages will not be lacking, and they’re a life-saving trump card."
"It’s just..." Suddenly, Li Jizhou’s mind stirred slightly. Bai Yi and Gua Gua were his right-hand assistants in this life, and if he dies in this life and reincarnates elsewhere, he can’t help but feel some reluctance.
All of this happened in a flash, while Shangguan Liuyun’s rain of blossoms completely enveloped Li Jizhou and Jiang Li.
He didn’t have time to think more and instantly activated all the defense talismans from his storage bag.
In an instant, at least twenty Holy Lights burst open around Li Jizhou and Jiang Li.
"Tier Three Holy Light Talisman! Judging from the power, at least High-Level Upper Grade!"
"There are probably no less than twenty Tier Three Advanced Level Talismans here, right? These grade talismans aren’t cheap, just the materials alone would not cost less than two thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Let’s not forget, Master Li used to be the owner of the Taobao Pavilion, also a high-level Talisman Master and Pill Master, his wealth must be considerable."
"Looks like the Taobao Pavilion really made a fortune back then with Spirit Stones!"
...
As the onlookers below marveled, a loud bang resonated.
Beyond the Holy Light protecting Li Jizhou and Jiang Li, the rain of flowers blossomed instantly, eventually erupting with an astonishing might.
In an instant, the world shook violently. Some cultivators standing nearby couldn’t remain steady, toppling over onto the ground.
The protective Holy Light was also struck by the immense force, flickering between light and dark, almost instantly, continuous shattering sounds of the Holy Light arose.
In front of Shangguan Liuyun’s deadly strike, the Tier Three Advanced Level defense Holy Light Talisman seemed like tofu, breaking upon touch.
Fortunately, when Li Jizhou was preparing to leave the swamp and avoid the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Shangguan family thirty-three years ago, he prepared several defense talismans.
These turned out to be effective now.
A protective barrier formed by stacking up to twenty-five Holy Light Talismans finally stopped Shangguan Liuyun’s extremely formidable killing move at the last three layers of defense.
"They didn’t die from that!" The four people in the rear were slightly shocked.
Even Jiang Mingyue, who was just confidently watching, thought that those two were doomed after seeing Shangguan Liuyun launch the strongest killing move from the Dharma Aspect realm’s domination technique.
Yet Li Jizhou, in the last moments, gave everyone a massive shock.
By simultaneously activating more than twenty Tier Three Advanced Level Holy Light Talismans, Li Jizhou displayed his financial prowess.
He’s not at all inferior to the prodigies of these major powers in the Central Domain.
"What kind of fortune does this person have?" A cold light flashed in Shen Haoyu’s eyes from Taihao Sacred Land.
Of the crowd present, the one who found this result hardest to accept was naturally Shangguan Liuyun.
To forcibly activate the strongest killing move from the Dharma Aspect realm’s mastery field was already considered his greatest mercy towards Li Jizhou and Jiang Li.
Yet the outcome was like this.
"How is this possible?" He glared at Li Jizhou and Jiang Li, who were inside the remains of the three layers of Holy Light, with wide-open eyes.
Li Jizhou chuckled lightly, but also let out a long breath.
He had indeed felt that overwhelming sense of peril just now.
Jiang Li had even closed her eyes calmly.
At this moment, Jiang Li looked at Li Jizhou with a gaze as if looking at a deity.
She was too aware of the power that Shangguan Liuyun’s killing move had just unleashed.
Even ten of her could definitely not withstand that strike.
It must be said, Li Jizhou had given her too many surprises.
Since they first met in the Sea Domain, when he pointed out her Water Spirit Body and lent a hand.
The second time, he even reversed slay a Tier Three Late Stage Golden Corpse, saving countless sea folks in the Sea Domain.
This time, he had first allowed her to reach the Late Stage of Golden Core in half a day and then provided a lifeline when she was in despair.
