Chapter 424: 424 - new spirit roots.
Qingyi woke up early in the morning, his eyes opening slightly. The familiar weight of Isabel’s breasts against his chest immediately overwhelmed him.
As a true immortal, he could go decades, perhaps centuries without sleeping or eating. But in the end, what life would be worth living without these small pleasures?
Not his.
With a skillful move, Qingyi escaped Isabel’s embrace and got dressed, leaving his room and heading to one of the most isolated regions of the palace.
Right now, the servants were dismantling the wedding decorations, and the mortal nobles were dealing with their hangovers while the powerful were more concerned with flattering the king than anything else.
Qingyi passed by almost unnoticed, immediately locking himself in one of the many meditation rooms.
Not having any kind of array to improve mana density was certainly frustrating, especially because of how strong Qingyi’s spiritual roots were. But he didn’t think too much about it.
Good mana density wasn’t exactly necessary for what he was about to do.
For a long time, he had kept only fire, sword, lightning, and ice as his main spiritual roots. But now, he had decided that it was time to expand a little more.
Especially for what he planned to do soon.
After all, he couldn’t just show up in front of the church of Auranys without any care, announcing himself as a hero to a goddess who probably hated him to the bone, right?
That wouldn’t be enough.
Opening the system store, Qingyi began to search, his eyes first falling on time spirit roots.
It was tempting, but in the end, it was far more expensive than Qingyi could even come close to paying. Zeros and more zeros piled up into that exorbitant price.
Besides, time was dangerous to mess with, and the heavens certainly did not take lightly those who tried to control them.
The stories he heard from Ruxue about it were certainly not pretty. He himself did not know if he would be able to withstand such a powerful heavenly tribulation of extermination.
With a sigh, he continued searching, finally stopping at three very specific spirit roots.
Space, shadow, and light.
The first was certainly the most expensive, costing just over a hundred billion lust points. The others barely reached a few million, elements that Qingyi could buy even when he was in the mortal sky.
In the end, shadow and light, although rare, were on a completely different level from being able to manipulate space and open rifts in the fabric of the universe itself to instantly cover long distances.
Sighing heavily, Qingyi calculated for a brief moment before simply clicking to purchase the three spirit roots at the same time.
This time, Qingyi needed only a single moment to realize that things were very, very different from before.
There had always been resistance to taking on new spirit roots. Even with the primordial seed of creation spirit roots, Qingyi expected there to be some resistance, even if minimal.
But there was no resistance at all.
His body was filled with intense light, immediately leaving the ground as his Qi engulfed the entire room.
The blazing Qi of fire, the silvery Qi of the sword, the bluish-purple Qi of lightning, and the sky-blue Qi of ice.
All of them leaked out of his body at the same time, the temperature around him ranging from thousands of degrees to tens of degrees below zero.
The very stone that surrounded him seemed about to melt, the lightning tearing everything apart while the sword Qi cut deep, sharp gashes.
If there was anything alive there, it would be immediately cut into thousands of pieces.
If the walls of that meditation room weren’t several meters thick and covered by powerful mana arrays, they would have probably collapsed already.
Qingyi just held on tightly, feeling the three new elements reach his body, flowing through his meridians.
This part, as always, was painful.
His meridians had to be torn apart and his dantian had to be expanded by brute force, prepared to withstand the new power of his spirit roots.
Qingyi just gritted his teeth, barely a grunt escaping his lips as a wave of knowledge flooded his mind, all seven elements merging perfectly into his spirit root.
An intense golden light engulfed Qingyi’s body, soon replaced by a darkness so deep that it completely erased Qingyi’s aura, as if he ceased to exist.
After those two, there was nothing.
Qingyi’s spatial element did not respond, a powerful shockwave leaving his body as he fell to the ground, a little confused.
[Your spiritual roots have changed! Primordial Creation Seed spirit root (Lightning, sword, fire, ice) -> Primordial Creation Seed spirit root (Lightning, sword, fire, ice, space, light, shadow)]
Qingyi stared at that notification for a moment, scratching his chin. Then, raising his right hand, he first called upon his light Qi.
His entire body was surrounded by a calm energy, a blinding light leaving his hands.
Auranys was, after all, a goddess of light. Although it was of little use to Qingyi at the moment, he didn’t worry too much about it.
The important thing was that he was seen as an unshakable hero of light.
Soon after that, he called upon the shadows, hiding his body in the darkness before finally calling upon his spatial Qi.
This time, things changed and the space around him became unstable for a brief moment before finally collapsing in on itself.
A painful grunt escaped Qingyi’s lips, accompanied by a burst of blood.
His hand disappeared from his wrist before reappearing a few meters ahead, hitting the wall with a thud, his arm gushing blood nonstop.
"Shit..." Qingyi gritted his teeth, the Qi of the seed of life immediately beginning to act, healing his hand instantly.
Obviously, controlling space would not be that simple.
After all, even Margareth had devoted much of her life to studying spatial magic, and yet she could barely use a basic spell capable of transporting an apple.
With a defeated sigh, Qingyi simply opened the system store, searching for pills capable of improving his affinity with space, light, and shadow.
