Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 266: Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spirit Root

Chen Baidao witnessed the affairs concluding and hesitated several times. Eventually, he mustered the courage to approach Qinchuan and inquire, "Young Master, do you perhaps recognize..."

But at this point, he didn’t know how to continue. He had wanted to ask if Qinchuan recognized his benefactor, yet he knew neither the benefactor’s last nor given name. Asking such a question, he feared he would be taken for a fool by Qinchuan.

Qinchuan, however, knew what he was trying to ask. Of course, he wouldn’t say that the great benefactor who had saved him years ago was himself; his true identity was not yet to be revealed.

Qinchuan maintained a knowing look and said, "The Heavenly Cripple’s Leg was created by my ancestors."

This explanation by Qinchuan was logical and reasonable, serving to address questions about his background and the issue of the Heavenly Cripple’s Leg.

Upon hearing this, Chen Baidao and Li Zhi displayed expressions that seemed to say, ’So that’s how it is.

Qinchuan truly is a descendant of the Great Emperor!

...

At this moment, the Heavenly Metamorphosis Inkstone which had been guarding Gongshan Wu returned shakily to Qinchuan’s side.

Finally, it patted its own chest, "Ma-Master, Xiao Yan has completed the mission!"

Qinchuan cast his gaze towards Gongshan Wu and then, with a few leaps, returned to Gongshan Wu’s side. Chi Shan and the others followed in succession.

The Immovable Vajra Body truly was exceptional; at twelve years old, his meridians had been destroyed, and decades had passed since then, wrongfully missing the age for cultivation. But after the repair of his meridians this time, his Realm skipped the Tempering Body Realm, reaching the first layer of the Condensed Truth Realm directly.This achievement was undoubtedly due to the pills bestowed by Qinchuan, but it also reflected the strong regenerative and defensive capabilities of the Immovable Vajra Body.

"Not bad! I originally thought it would take several days for you to recover, but you’ve managed to restore your Dantian and meridians in just a short hour. You’ve indeed lived up to the reputation of the Immovable Vajra Body!"

"The Immovable Vajra Body!"

Chi Shan and the others had their eyes shining as they scrutinized carefully. Indeed, they discovered something extraordinary about the old beggar, within his body sat an Immovable Vajra, resplendent and radiant.

"However, it is a pity that, having grown old, missing the prime years of cultivation, it is feared that it will be difficult to achieve further breakthroughs," the onlookers thought to themselves.

At this time, Li Zhi spoke up, "This elder has missed the opportunity for cultivation, why not join our Imperial Family? The Zhi faction will send people to search for fine medicinal spirits and pills; night and day they can nourish you, and perhaps you can still climb a few more steps."

Qinchuan, who saw through Li Zhi’s intentions, was not bothered and said, "Although he has missed the prime time for cultivation, under my guidance, breaking through the Holy’s Realm within a hundred years is still no problem."

The crowd wore strange expressions; Qinchuan was truly someone who made astonishing statements.

"Break through the Holy’s Realm within a hundred years?"

Ye Xuanji took thirty thousand years to break through the Holy’s Realm and was still called a genius, yet he boldly declared that he would let this old man achieve it within a century!

After a pause, Qinchuan added, and glanced at Li Zhi, "However, his Realm is still meager; following me does not befit him. If you are willing to provide resources for his cultivation, perhaps he can be of some assistance to you in the future."

Li Zhi was overjoyed, not caring about whether Gongshan Wu could assist him in the future, but Qinchuan’s words clearly showed recognition of him!

Thinking of the resources that might be behind Qinchuan, Li Zhi couldn’t help feeling excited.

Gongshan Wu, feeling the flow of True Qi within his body, wept with gratitude. He overheard the conversation between Qinchuan and Li Zhi and others, and his excitement was indescribable.

Muttering to himself, "Who would have thought, my Chou Family... no... my Gongshan Family would one day be able to cultivate, and we would no longer have to suffer imprisonment!"

With trembling fists, he said, "Thank you, Young Master, for granting me this new life. From now on, my Gongshan Clan’s allegiance is only to the Young Master."

Qinchuan, composed and at ease, spoke, "This time, I’ve come here to take an item. I’m sure you’re already aware of it."

Upon hearing Qinchuan’s words, Gongshan Wu’s face immediately flushed with embarrassment, making frantic mental calculations. He tried to speak several times but instead held his tongue.

He naturally knew that his Gongshan Clan had been guarding a treasure for generations, but during the countless years of confinement, his clan had fled Tianqing City, changed their surname to Chou to conceal their identity, and the treasure of the Gongshan clan had long been lost.

Even in his generation, he no longer knew what it was that he was supposed to be guarding.

Seeing Gongshan Wu’s expression, Qinchuan more or less guessed the truth, which was within his expectations.

He walked behind Gongshan Wu, patted his shoulder, and signaled him to sit down.

After Gongshan Wu sat down cross-legged, Qinchuan placed his hands on his shoulders, and his Innate True Qi began to circulate.

A moment later, Qinchuan withdrew his palms, his expression particularly strange, and asked, "Does your Gongshan clan have any other living clan members?"

...

The Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spiritual Root is no ordinary treasure, it is formed from the Essence Qi of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth in the world. When the Qi of a particular element becomes concentrated enough, it forms a Spirit Root.

Hence, although a single-element Spirit Root can be considered a treasure and can be tracked, like Earth Spirit Roots often found in vast deserts and Fire Spiritual Roots in blazing lands, Water Spirit Roots in Extremely Cold Territories, finding them is still possible.

But the conditions for the formation of the Five Elements Spirit Root are extremely harsh. The Essence Qi of the Five Elements, generating and restraining one another, are rarely found coexisting. The Spirit Root formed only by the Essence Qi of the Five Elements can only be considered a Five Elements Spirit Root, but a Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spiritual Root must also receive nourishment from the Heavenly Dao at the time of its formation.

This item is particularly elusive, and even in his seventh life, Qinchuan had only found it by a fluke.

For this reason, the Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spiritual Root easily dissipates and returns to the world and cannot be stored in an ordinary Storage Space.

In those days, Qinchuan embedded the Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spiritual Root into Gongshan Busu’s body, using the Great Emperor’s Body to contain the Spiritual Root, and this was why Gongshan Busu never went to the Divine Realm until he died.

Before Gongshan Busu passed away, he should have passed the Heaven-Piercing Five Element Spiritual Root to a descendant, and it should have been handed down from generation to generation.

But just now, Qinchuan did not detect any trace of the Spiritual Root in Gongshan Wu’s body.

That was why he asked.

Gongshan Wu stood up, puzzled by the question, and said, "In my Gongshan family there is an ancestral instruction that only one son may be born in each generation. Despite being suppressed by the Sun Family for hundreds of thousands of years, this ancestral instruction has been deeply engraved in our hearts. But as of now, I’m the only one left, without any offspring."

Qinchuan frowned slightly.

"Could it be that after hundreds of thousands of years of inheritance, this Spirit Root has also dissipated into the heavens and the earth?"

If there are still other members of the Gongshan family alive, then the Spirit Root might still be found within another member of the clan.

But Gongshan Busu must have foreseen that if his descendants branched out over countless generations, the whereabouts of the Spirit Root would have been lost long ago, which is why he established the ancestral rule of having only a single heir in each generation.

"What a pity, the Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spiritual Root has ultimately dissipated into the world. Who knows when it will be encountered again?"

The Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spiritual Root is an important Spiritual Treasure for awakening the marrow of the Innate, and although it can be replaced with a Five Elements Spirit Root or a single Spirit Root, the difference in effectiveness is as vast as heaven and earth, and Qinchuan was really unwilling to settle for less.

"Could it be... I have to start searching for the Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Root again?"

As Qinchuan was contemplating his next steps, Gongshan Wu spoke again, saying, "However, during our ancestor Gongshan Yu’s flight from Tianqing City to Northern Desolate City, the Sun Family’s pursuit was so relentless that he was forced to split from his wife and children along the way. Our lineage is that of the ancestor who continued his line after settling in Northern Desolate City."

Qinchuan was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Such a remark explained why there was no Spirit Root in Gongshan Wu’s body—the Spirit Root must have been inherited by the firstborn at the time.

Gongshan Yu only knew about the ancestral rule to have a single successor in each generation, unaware of the reasons for it. After many years of being unable to locate his firstborn, he reluctantly continued with a second wife, carrying on another lineage, but what he did not know was that the Spirit Root had already been passed on to his firstborn, rendering the ancestral rule useless.

However, after hundreds of thousands of years, where should one go to search for the Gongshan Yu’s firstborn lineage?
