Spirit Root Fruit, Space Travel
He had never seen a thousand-year-old retracting turtle, no, wait, turtles at least can withstand things, Spirit Root Fruit is completely useless!
“I can regularly provide you with roots. You know how rare the roots of our Spirit Root Fruits are. They are best suited for refining high-grade Pills,” the Spirit Root Fruit said solemnly.
Hearing this, Ye Chen was speechless. To say it was completely useless wasn’t entirely true, but why did he feel like he had lost out?
Forget it, things have come to this point, the best course of action is to cut one’s losses.
Ye Chen calmed down for a while before his mood finally improved. He then remembered something and asked, “Why did you follow me to Central Continent? It’s far more dangerous here than the Cliffless Valley of the Sword Immortal Sect. If I ever find myself in a life-threatening situation, I’ll throw you out to be my shield.”
“No! Big Brother, I’m still very useful! Although I can’t fight, I can run away! And the Heavenly Dao Rules can’t bind me either. I still have a unique skill,” the Spirit Root Fruit quickly explained, its survival depending on whether it could persuade Ye Chen.
“Not bound by Heavenly Dao Rules?” This surprised Ye Chen. He hadn’t expected this millennia-old, idle Spirit Root Fruit to have such an incredible ability.
“That’s right! All things can Become Immortal, but as long as I don’t open my Sea of Qi and don’t cultivate to Become Immortal, the Heaven and Earth Rules can’t bind me.”
“This is equivalent to being outside the Three Realms and not among the Five Elements. Not everyone can do this.”
The Spirit Root Fruit mysteriously shook itself towards Ye Chen, as if showing off.
This is why the Spirit Root Fruit had been hiding in the Cliffless Valley for thousands of years without any explanation.
Otherwise, judging by the characteristics of ordinary Demon Beasts, the longer they live, the stronger their Cultivation becomes. The Spirit Root Fruit should have long since entered the Great Ascension Realm.
“That’s not right either. The Medicinal Power of that Seventh Grade Pill of mine was strong enough to push someone without any Cultivation into the Golden Core Stage. How come you weren’t affected at all?”
“Indeed, the quality of your Seventh Grade Pill was top-notch. If I hadn’t deliberately suppressed it, I would have already broken through.”
The Spirit Root Fruit swayed its branches, as if nodding. “But I also have my own way of digesting Spiritual Power, which I use to supplement and enhance my Talent.”
“Talent?” Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but feel curious.
Once Spirit Medicines like the Spirit Root Fruit develop Spiritual Intelligence, they are accompanied by a certain innate Talent. Otherwise, they would have been devoured by Demon Beasts long ago, and wouldn’t be able to live for hundreds of years.
“That’s right, Space Traversal.” The Spirit Root Fruit said, “And all the nutrients I’ve collected over the years have been used to nourish my Talent, especially your Pill, which gave me a lot of help.”
“Space Traversal?”
Hearing this, Ye Chen was taken aback. Since ancient times, any magical skill related to Space has never been simple.
“Simply put, I can use this skill to freely perform spatial jumps, opening a special Channel in Space. Even traveling thousands of miles a day is not difficult.” The Spirit Root Fruit explained.
“Isn’t that just running away?” Ye Chen suddenly realized. No wonder the Spirit Root Fruit had no Cultivation yet could still protect itself. It turned out it had such a Divine Skill as its Talent.
“Not at all. This is not just running away. Space Traversal can also be combined with other magical skills, often producing unexpected results.”
If used well, it could even kill people without a trace.
Especially as the Spirit Root Fruit said, being able to travel thousands of miles a day, even Flying Sword might not be able to catch up.
After listening to the Spirit Root Fruit’s explanation, Ye Chen nodded. This Space Traversal was indeed powerful, but unfortunately, this cowardly Spirit Root Fruit used it as an escape tool.
“With Space Traversal, why are you still following me? According to you, even a Great Ascension Realm cultivator shouldn’t be able to catch you, right?” Ye Chen curiously asked.
“Hehe, others may not be able to see it, but do you think Young Master me can’t? The Heavenly Dao Great Experts sealed within you, which one isn’t a Creation of Heaven and Earth? Following you, even if it’s just as a subordinate, I’ll be able to rise to prominence in the future!”
“This is what you humans call, ‘when one person achieves Dao, even the dogs and chickens ascend.'”
Hearing this, Ye Chen didn’t know how to refute it. It seemed to make sense.
As for how the Spirit Root Fruit knew, it was because it had followed Ye Chen into his Sea of Consciousness Space.
After transforming into a Spirit Body, Ye Chen, along with the Spirit Ring in his hand, would enter his consciousness together.
Other Storage Bags wouldn’t do this. Perhaps this is the magical aspect of the Spirit Ring.
I should have put the Spirit Root Fruit in another Storage Bag earlier, so it wouldn’t know so many secrets.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll refine you and kill you to eliminate any witnesses?” Ye Chen feigned profundity, his tone carrying a hint of threat.
This scared the Spirit Root Fruit. It quickly begged for mercy, “Boss! I promise my mouth will be tighter than a rock! I can even swear by the Heavenly Dao Oath. If I leak a single word, I’ll be Struck by Lightning, die, and my Dao will Dissipate!”
“Didn’t you just say you’re outside the Three Realms and not among the Five Elements? Is your Heavenly Dao Oath even useful?” Ye Chen looked at it with a smile, his eyes filled with malicious intent.
Hearing this, the Spirit Root Fruit clearly froze. It hadn’t expected Ye Chen to remember so clearly. It could only sway its branches, pleading bitterly, “Boss, please accept me as your subordinate. I’ve made such a serious oath. Give me a chance, please believe me!”
“If nothing else, I can find a way to compensate you?”
Even the most grandiose words were powerless, so the Spirit Root Fruit could only offer benefits.
“Oh? Let’s hear it then?” Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, arms crossed, looking down at the anxiously jumping around Spirit Root Fruit.
“This way, do you want to learn Space Traversal? I’ll give you my Talent, everything.” The Spirit Root Fruit racked its brains and finally came up with a solution.
This magical skill is indeed useful to Ye Chen. Aside from other things, just for escaping, Space Traversal is a Divine Skill. Even when facing numerous pursuers, Ye Chen can escape unscathed.
“It’s a deal. For the sake of Space Traversal, I’ll give you a chance.” After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen reluctantly agreed.
Hearing this, the Spirit Root Fruit immediately beamed with joy, happily swaying its branches.
Without delay, it immediately extended a root and gently tapped Ye Chen’s fingertip.
Instantly, everything about Space Traversal was imprinted and transmitted into Ye Chen’s Sea of Consciousness.
The threshold for cultivating this skill is not low. At least one must be in the Nascent Soul Realm.
Space Traversal is somewhat similar to Soul Departure, except that when jumping through space, one must take their Flesh along. Otherwise, what’s the use of only the Soul going? Are you going to change bodies every time you use it?
And this skill consumes both Spiritual Power and Spiritual Power. The skill cleverly combines the two, allowing cultivators, even those only at the Nascent Soul Realm, to forcibly split open a Space Channel.
Of course, this consumes a lot of energy. Basically, one or two uses will exhaust one’s energy.
But this is not a problem for Ye Chen. Having cultivated the Three-Pill Body Transformation, his Spiritual Power is countless times stronger than ordinary cultivators. Added to the assistance of the Heavenly Eye, his Spiritual Power is even more worry-free.
It can be said that this skill is tailor-made for Ye Chen!
After digesting the Imprints, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction. He glanced at the Spirit Root Fruit beside him, his eyes carrying a warning.
“Next time you dare to steal my things, watch out, I’ll whittle you into a stick!”
