Chapter 159 Playing tricks
The best good is like water, water benefits all things without any struggle.
Only the combination of the Heavenly Water Spiritual Root, the Water Spiritual Pearl, and a pure and kind heart can create such a Xu Weichen, and thus achieve the revival of spiritual energy.
If any link is missing, it will be impossible to achieve this.
How rare are natural spiritual roots in the Suzaku Continent?
So far, Liu Yishu has only seen two people with true natural spiritual roots, one is Xu Weichen and the other is Chaoyang. As for Ye Yunhan, his ice spiritual roots are the result of acquired mutation, not innate.
Xu Weichen and Chaoyang are not ordinary people, one is the incarnation of an ancient great demon, and the other is one of the Four Spirits of Heaven.
With the current spiritual energy of Suzaku Continent, it is difficult to give birth to a natural spiritual root, and double spiritual roots are already considered to be the best qualifications. Moreover, in order to achieve spiritual energy revival, you must have a natural water spiritual root or a natural wood spiritual root. Water spiritual energy nourishes all things, and wood spiritual energy itself represents vitality.
As for the Water Spirit Pearl, it is a treasure of the Five Elements that was born and nurtured by nature. The conditions and process for its creation are extremely complex and demanding. At least Liu Yishu has not sensed the existence of a second Five Elements Spirit Pearl on the Suzaku Continent.
Without the help of the Water Spirit Pearl, Xu Weichen would definitely not be able to use his spiritual energy to turn into rain over a large area. The spiritual energy he cultivated would definitely not be as pure as the spiritual energy purified by the Water Spirit Pearl. Only such pure spiritual energy could achieve the effect of nourishing all things.
Putting aside these two hard conditions, it is also particularly important to have a pure and kind heart.
Although Xu Weichen is a human now, his original form is still an ancient demon. The biggest difference between demons and humans is that demons will never destroy their own living environment or compress their own living space.
The demons will be more dependent on nature, so they will instinctively give back to nature.
Before he learned the trick of turning spiritual energy into rain, the flowers, plants and trees on Xiaoyue Peak were much more vibrant than those on other peaks of Taicang Mountain. It was because he was not stingy with his spiritual energy when practicing, and subconsciously used his spiritual energy to nourish the flowers, plants and trees on Xiaoyue Peak that Xiaoyue Peak became full of vitality and unique.
For ordinary cultivators, spiritual power is so precious that they are reluctant to waste even a bit of it. So how could they give their own spiritual energy to insignificant creatures such as flowers, plants and trees?
So even though Xu Weichen was able to revive the spiritual energy of a mountain range under his conscious guidance, Liu Yishu never thought of looking for someone to replicate Xu Weichen's actions.
Although he was rejected by this world, Liu Yishu's powerful soul still allowed him to clearly perceive the invisible changes between heaven and earth. He certainly knew that the spiritual energy of the Suzaku Continent was simply not enough to support Jianmu's growth, but he had never worried about this.
It is a fact that the Suzaku Continent lacks spiritual energy, and 'it' knows this better than anyone else. In this case, 'it' still lets Jianmu sprout here, so there must be ways to supplement nutrients.
Or perhaps, this is the real reason why 'it' made Jianmu sprout.
Using Jianmu as bait, he hunted ancient monsters as powerful as him, and used their power to delay the arrival of the Dharma Ending Age.
Seeing that Chaoyang's words were about to arouse Xu Weichen's worries again, Liu Yishu gave him a death stare from an angle that Xu Weichen couldn't see, and said nonchalantly: "What is there to worry about? Jianmu was born and raised by nature, so the heaven and earth will naturally worry about whether it has enough nutrients. Why should we worry about it here?"
Chaoyang exchanged glances with him for a moment, then turned with a curious look and asked, "Junior brother, don't you really need Jianmu? Are you really not in a hurry at all? Or do you know something?"
Chaoyang naturally knew that since 'it' had allowed Jianmu to sprout at this time, it must have a backup plan. However, his original power had not been completely absorbed and was partially squeezed out by 'it', resulting in a loss of inheritance. Even his brain was not working well, and he could not guess no matter how hard he racked his brains.
Liu Yishu clinked the cup with Xu Weichen's, raised the cup and took a sip of peach wine, then spoke in a vicissitudes of life: "When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way, and when you reach the bridge, you will naturally straighten it. When you live as long as I have, you should know that in this world, there is nothing more important than life and death."
Chaoyang couldn't help but glared at Liu Yishu in front of Xu Weichen.
The reason he came to the fenced courtyard was not only to see his master, but also to get some information from Liu Yishu. Unfortunately, apart from being fed a mouthful of dog food, he didn't get any useful information.
As expected, he should not have come tonight. Even in his complete state, he might not be able to play tricks with the Nine-Tailed Fox, not to mention that he is not that smart now.
But even though he can't win by playing tricks, he can still play straight.
"Some time ago, the leaders and patriarchs of other sects and families came to Taicang Mountain to pay homage to me and encouraged me to break the barrier that my master had set up on the outskirts of Tianzong Mountain Range, but I refused." Chaoyang suddenly changed the subject.
"Oh? What reason did you give to send them away?" Liu Yishu asked with interest, playing with the wine glass in his hand.
"I told them that Jianmu has sprouted." Chaoyang said calmly, staring at Liu Yishu's face, wanting to see his out-of-control expression.
Liu Yishu was indeed stunned for a moment, but after meeting Chaoyang's gaze, he returned to his nonchalant expression.
"You let the cat out of the bag," he said.
"I also told them that the secret cannot be revealed, but they probably didn't take it to heart." Chaoyang was a little disappointed with Liu Yishu's calmness, but he still continued with what he said.
"Then what?" Liu Yishu asked.
"The secret was revealed in the sect's main hall. As soon as those people walked out of the hall, one of them was struck to ashes. During this period, there were reports that several people were suddenly punished by heaven." Chaoyang said.
"You are creating karma." Liu Yishu looked at Chaoyang meaningfully and said.
Chaoyang smiled complacently, "It doesn't matter, my Nirvana Fire happens to be the nemesis of karma."
Anyway, after Nirvana and rebirth, he will be a clean and innocent Suzaku again.
Liu Yishu also smiled, "Perhaps this is exactly what 'it' wants to see? Once those cultivators die, nutrients will come, right? The cultivators' ashes are a great tonic, and 'it' doesn't have to bear the consequences."
Chaoyang's smug smile froze on his face. He wanted to refute Liu Yishu's words, but he knew he was right. For a moment, he wanted to shrink into a corner and draw circles to curse "it" and the Nine-Tailed Fox. The frustration and resentment in his body almost turned into reality.
Perhaps, his self-righteous stirring of the water was just one of its back-up plans.
"Don't be discouraged, fighting against the sky is endless fun!" Liu Yishu comforted insincerely.
"If I were to set fire to that broken seedling, would you and 'it' still be so calm and composed?" Chaoyang asked with gritted teeth.
Liu Yishu didn't even frown, he looked at Chaoyang with a half-smile, and said earnestly: "My son, don't narrow your path just because of a momentary anger."
