There is terror in the south, and strange beasts in the center.

It's truly a case of being caught between a rock and a hard place.

My relaxed mood has been completely overwhelmed again!

The problem is still not enough trading points. If I had trillions of them, I could upgrade my divine body first, then my formation... I wouldn't need to worry about so much.

Trading point... Trading point...

Ye Feng's silence worried Zhou Yongcheng greatly, who feared he had been attacked by terrorism.

"Ye Feng! Seventh Junior Brother!"

Zhou Yongcheng's shouts made Ye Feng's ears ring.

"Senior Brother, I'm fine, don't call me!"

"You just now...."

"That was something else!"

Their eyes met, and they understood each other without saying a word.

Unable to think, unable to ponder, unable to speak...

Although he wasn't "seen" by that thing just now, Ye Feng was absolutely certain that being "seen" was definitely not a good thing!

Is there really a way to deal with such a powerful monster in the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm?

A beast at the ninth level of tribulation, covered up without warning... even blocking the passage to the immortal realm.

Things that are beyond Ye Feng's control should be set aside for the time being; this has been Ye Feng's long-standing habit.

"Senior Brother, actually I've only been back for two days this time..."

Ye Feng recounted the entire story of capturing the strange beast, and also explained his purpose of increasing his strength.

Zhou Yongcheng remained dumbfounded throughout.

Originally, Ling Fenghan said it was just a joke with Ye Feng... Who would have thought that Ye Feng would actually sit in the position of the Ninth Venerable?

Now Ye Feng is telling him that the process of capturing the alien beast is still entirely under his control?

"Only two days?"

"Yes! The beast location simulation will restart in two days, so I have to get back before then!"

Zhou Yongcheng was also in a dilemma; two days...

The Five Elements Sect has many secret cultivation sites.

This allows cultivators at the Void Returning stage to more easily access the Void Wind Cave, a passageway that allows them to enter the void.

The Golden Sand Cliff, where cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage refine their physical bodies.

The Star River of Laws that helps Mahayana cultivators comprehend the laws of nature...

But where can you find a place where you can quickly improve your strength in just two days?

Seeing Zhou Yongcheng deep in thought, Ye Feng asked directly,

"Senior Brother, this spiritual root burning technique...can I learn it?"

"The method of combustion..."

Zhou Yongcheng's expression was complicated, but he finally nodded and said,

"Come with me!"

The two left the secret chamber and flew high into the sky above the main hall.

"These Five Elements Spiritual Mountains were formed by the great magical power of many predecessors. Each peak represents a different element of spiritual energy, and each peak has a secret place where one can comprehend the secret techniques related to that element..."

Ye Feng looked around.

The surrounding five mountains stand majestically, their imposing presence amplified by the gathering spiritual energy and auspicious clouds that envelop their peaks.

Above those cloud-covered peaks, spiritual energy of a single attribute formed various strange phenomena.

If one has sufficient comprehension, one could probably comprehend powerful spells simply by studying these strange phenomena.

If we could move the entire Penglai Sect here, everyone's cultivation speed would probably improve by leaps and bounds at any moment!

At the very center of the five sacred mountains, in the middle of this valley,

This canyon contains all five types of spiritual energy, making it suitable for all disciples of the Five Elements Sect.

Behind the canyon buildings, there was also an array of formations...

"That's where the Five Spirit Pool is located!"

Seeing Ye Feng looking towards the back mountain, Zhou Yongcheng said something and then flew over with Ye Feng.

Upon reaching the area concealed by the array, Zhou Yongcheng took out the token.

"All official disciple tokens are valid for entry!"

During the recent initiation ceremony, Ye Feng also received a token.

For core disciples, it's a magical artifact of the level.

It contained a combined-level attack, but it was practically useless against Ye Feng.

Upon detecting the token's aura, the array in front immediately dispersed its mist, clearing a path.

A paradise suddenly appeared before Ye Feng's eyes.

The spiritual energy flowing in from five directions converges here, colliding at the center to form mist. Drops of spiritual water, containing the five types of spiritual energy, fall from the sky, forming a pool hundreds of feet in diameter below.

Beside the pool grew more than ten unidentified fruit trees, each three to five meters tall, laden with hundreds of spiritual fruits...

"The Five Spirit Pool!"

Even without Zhou Yongcheng's introduction, Ye Feng could tell at a glance that this was the legendary Five Spirit Pool, the great opportunity he had missed!

"That's right, this is the Five Spirit Pool! Just soaking in it once a year can maintain the balance of your spiritual roots for a whole year. And the method of burning spiritual roots requires balancing the spiritual roots and awakening supernatural powers... to be able to perform it!"

"Once the spiritual root is burned, it can be restored by returning here and consuming the Five Elemental Fruits! This cycle can be repeated three times!"

Zhou Yongcheng looked at the spirit pool in front of him with regret.

Ye Feng's cultivation talent is so high, his spiritual root points must also be extremely high.

If only I could cultivate this spiritual root burning technique... sigh!

Ye Feng looked at the spirit pool in front of him, but showed no reaction.

The Five Spirit Pool... while capable of elevating one's spiritual root to a pseudo-balanced spiritual root, has no effect on him.

Five Spirit Fruit restores spiritual root points.

It still didn't have much effect on him.

However, now that the spiritual root has become a sacred body, the exact number of points is unknown. It will require some experimentation to obtain accurate data.

"Senior Brother, if one's spiritual root is balanced, can the points burned be restored with Five Spirit Fruits?"

"It's inherently a balanced spiritual root?"

Zhou Yongcheng shook his head and chuckled.

"I'm not sure about that... However, if one's spiritual roots are completely balanced, one cannot sense spiritual energy at all, and cannot even reach the Foundation Establishment stage, so how can one awaken supernatural abilities and use the Burning Technique?"

"What if there is?"

"if...."

Listening to Ye Feng's tone and thinking about his incredible cultivation speed, Zhou Yongcheng...

Her eyes widened, staring at him in disbelief.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible... All the ancestors throughout history have tried it; even with forced infusion of spiritual energy, those who cannot cultivate on their own cannot pass the Foundation Establishment stage... You..."

Ye Feng smiled and nodded affirmatively.

"This...how is this possible? How is this possible?"

Although Zhou Yongcheng continued to say it was impossible, the muscles on his face began to tremble uncontrollably.

Ye Feng probably wouldn't lie to him.

However, reason kept telling him that this was impossible.

What exactly does a cultivator with balanced spiritual roots represent...?

It represents countless spiritual roots with balanced Five Elements!

The hardest step is going from zero to one.

Once there's one, there's two, then three... and then countless more!

"Come with me!"

After Zhou Yongcheng finished speaking, he pulled Ye Feng and quickly flew towards the pavilion on one side of the spirit pool.

On the first floor of the attic are the sensing stones for testing spiritual roots.

There are five of these sensing stones in total. Each stone is three meters high and one meter wide.

Complete and consistent, perfectly formed

Ye Feng had never seen such a large sensing stone in Tiannan.

Furthermore, three zeros floated on the sensor stone.

It seems that it can actually measure the points!

"Put your hand up there, let me see!"

Zhou Yongcheng's eyes were red-rimmed, like a gambler who had lost everything.

Ye Feng also wanted to see what the value of the Holy Body, worth 100 million, was, using a spirit-testing stone!

"Buzz!"

The moment Ye Feng placed his hand on it, the sensing stone emitted a bright light.

"888"

Just as Zhou Yongcheng was about to write down the numbers, he pulled Ye Feng to the next sensing stone to test.

But they were completely stunned by these three numbers.

"You...you, the Holy Body?"
