After Zheng Ya casually killed Zheng Ba, a trusted bodyguard of Prince Rong, with a single punch, he immediately made a bet, shocking the eyes and ears of various factions.
Wu Wei, who was the first to learn the truth, stared intently at Zheng Ya on the remote control screen and muttered to herself, "This...this guy has gotten stronger again..."
"Ah, Princess, Zheng Ya's feint that shattered a Foundation Establishment cultivator is something even Golden Core cultivators can't match, right?" Liu Qingyun echoed in alarm, feeling extremely fortunate that she hadn't fought with Zheng Ya, otherwise she would have been killed by him long ago.
Wu Wei nodded slightly and said, "Master is right, his strength is unfathomable."
As far as I know, he possesses three spiritual roots: spirit, time, and space, the grades of which are unknown.
Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he couldn't possibly use spatial power to raise a fist and shatter the body of a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the same realm from a distance.
Besides, the punch he made was a display of physical strength, not magical energy.
This shows that his physical strength has reached a terrifying level.
This is the power of cultivators from the upper realms who cultivate together to build their foundation in essence, energy, and spirit.
Compared to this crippled cultivation world, where the focus is on refining the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to cultivate elements, with spiritual power as a secondary focus, and physical strength increasing in tandem with cultivation level, the cultivation world is many times stronger.
Based on my understanding, the power of his feinted punch is equivalent to a million jin of force, and it also contains spatial, temporal, and mental energy. Only then could it possess the power to shatter the body of a Foundation Establishment cultivator from a distance. Amazing, my brother…”
"Ah, so you mean, Princess, you were trying to get Liu Yuan and his grandson into Zheng Ya's sights and stir up a fight between Zheng Ya and Prince Rong to test Zheng Ya's strength?" Liu Qingyun asked, puzzled.
Wu shook his head slightly, then nodded and said, "No, Master, you are wrong."
The disciple was worried that Zheng Ya was deliberately causing a ruckus, accumulating his fortune to rise quickly, and then ascend to the upper realm to escape.
He had no intention of staying in this world for long.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to cause trouble so recklessly.
"This princess needs his support. Seeing that someone is secretly pushing things along and guiding Liu Yuan and his grandson into this scheme, how could this princess not go along with it and seize the opportunity to use them to keep Zheng Ya here!"
"What? Zheng Ya is going to run away? How is that possible?"
"His cultivation is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, how could he possibly ascend to the Upper Realm..." Liu Qingyun asked in shock, her whole body trembling with inexplicable excitement.
Ascending to the upper realm is the goal that countless cultivators dream of.
Three hundred years ago, during the Hongli Immortal Dynasty, there were not many people who ascended to immortality, but there were some.
However, with the outbreak of war, the Hongli Immortal Dynasty fell apart, and everything was destroyed in the war, leaving it in a state of partial ruin.
Whether it's the cultivation system being crippled, with the lineage for ascending to the upper realms severed, or the legal system and cultural heritage being completely destroyed.
Three hundred years of wars laid the foundation for a tripartite balance of power, but the constant warfare for resources and conflicts between the three powers has not ceased.
This has led to a partially crippled world order.
It seems as if a net is being secretly laid out.
Liu Qingyun was once a genius in cultivation, and she was well aware of its power, but she just didn't know how to use it.
Knowing that she longed to ascend to the upper realm, Wu Wei smiled and said, "Master, Zheng Ya and I will be able to ascend to the upper realm once we break through the Foundation Establishment realm."
This is the unique charm of the foundational cultivation method that integrates essence, energy, and spirit.
Of course, the difficulty in ascending due to a low cultivation level is a limiting factor for cultivators, which necessitates the protection of a companion spiritual treasure to ensure unimpeded ascension..."
"Princess, your companion spirit bead is so powerful!" Liu Qingyun was shocked and retreated repeatedly when she saw the intense heat emanating from the primordial bead.
Wu Wei put away the Origin Pearl and smiled, "Master also has the opportunity to obtain spiritual plants and spiritual treasures from this world."
However, to transform the spiritual plant and spiritual treasure into one's own innate treasure, one would need the spiritual root repair fluid in Zheng Ya's possession to assist in refining the spiritual plant and spiritual treasure, integrating essence, energy, and spirit to establish a foundation, making ascension to the upper realm a breeze?
"Ah, that's great! We should keep Zheng Ya here and not let him escape!" Liu Qingyun said seriously, staring at Zheng Ya on the remote control screen, her expression revealing a ruthless intent.
Wu smiled and said, "Yes, that's precisely why I, the princess, will go along with it and help those who are secretly plotting to push Liu Yuan and his grandson to Zheng Ya's side. Now, there'll be a good show to watch, hehe."
"Hey, Princess, why are the people on the screen getting blurry?" Liu Qingyun noticed that Zheng Ya's smiling face was becoming increasingly indistinct and asked in surprise.
Wu Wei stood up in shock and said, "Oh no, Zheng Ya was right! The spiritual energy has corroded the drone, damn it..."
On Guiyuan Street, Zheng Ya amusedly provoked him: "Prince Rong, you won't turn into a cowardly prince, will you?"
"You scoundrel! You've provoked me into gambling. Let's draw a line, and I'll gamble with you!" Prince Rong glanced at the crowd gathering around the perimeter again and reluctantly accepted the challenge.
Zheng Liu and the others stared in worry, but Zheng Ya ignored their angry glares and laughed, "Prince Rong, you saw it just now too. I gave Liu Yan'er a bottle of high-grade spiritual root repair liquid."
Shall we bet on the efficacy of the advanced spiritual root repair fluid?
"Hmph, this little girl has a fire and wood spiritual root, a mid-grade yellow level, and her cultivation is at the second level of Qi Refining. If she takes the high-grade spiritual root repair liquid, at most her spiritual root will be raised to the upper-grade yellow level, increasing her cultivation by one level." Prince Rong exaggeratedly guessed.
Basic spiritual root repair solution can only help repair minor damage to one's spiritual root. Intermediate spiritual root repair solution has ten times the efficacy and can repair moderate damage to the spiritual root. Advanced spiritual root repair solution can only help repair damaged spiritual root.
The idea that a spiritual root repair solution could help people improve their cultivation and enhance the quality of their spiritual roots was, in Prince Rong's view, absolutely impossible.
Zheng Ya said with a smile, "Prince Rong, are you sure?"
"You only get one chance. If you lose, you'll have to pay out 10,000 high-grade spirit stones. Have you thought it through?"
"Hmph, my words are law, it's confirmed."
"I really don't believe it. Can a bottle of spiritual root repair liquid really help someone defy fate?" Prince Rong said with unwavering conviction.
Zheng Ya shook his head and said, "Prince Rong, you should hurry up and arrange for someone to retrieve ten thousand high-grade crystals."
"Hmph, I'll be watching. If you want to win my ten thousand high-grade crystals, then let me witness a miracle. Stop trying to swindle me here," Prince Rong retorted indignantly.
Zheng Ya raised his right index finger: "First, Liu Yan'er's cultivation level will increase by three levels."
Second, the Yellow-grade mid-level spiritual root evolved into the Profound-grade mid-level.
Third, physical enhancement, innate superhuman strength, and enhanced senses…
"Hmph, you're just daydreaming. Even if you're dreaming, you'll have to wait until it gets dark and you fall asleep to dream before you can put your wild talk into practice in your dreams, right?"
"Viscount Fu, you are insulting the intelligence of the world, swindling and deceiving, bewitching the people, and harboring evil intentions. You will be punished!" Prince Rong said with a wicked smile, as if he could already see Zheng Ya being despised by the world. His smile was ambiguous.
Zheng Ya laughed as well: "Prince Rong, how about we raise the stakes a bit more..."
With a series of "whoosh" sounds, thirteen figures flashed into the arena. Among them, the voice of the person from Tianyuan Shangren arrived before he did: "This old Taoist is betting ten thousand high-grade crystals on the loss of the Viscount..."
"And I'll bet ten thousand mid-grade crystals, betting on Viscount Fu to lose..." One person accepted the bet, and nine others followed suit, betting on Zheng Ya to lose...
