The Origin of Spirit Root Martial Dao

Beyond arrays, An Jing also patched up the weaknesses in his "spells."

Yes, although An Jing possessed immense talent for spell-casting—even capable of achieving miraculous effects with just a single supernatural ability, or creating near-secret "temporary Martial Meridian Array Diagrams" on his own—he had never actually studied spells systematically.

To put it simply, An Jing could condense flames and metal energy at will, transforming them into a Taibai sword burning with bone-eroding Blood Flame, but that was entirely due to his innate talent. If he were asked to condense a "Qi Blade" using only the purest spiritual energy without involving Taibai Sha Qi or Yinghuo Blood Fiend, it might actually take him more effort.

As for simple yet highly practical and common spells—such as "Acceleration," "Godly Movement," "Remote Object Manipulation," "Cool Breeze," "Heart-Clearing," and "Body-Purifying"—An Jing was actually not very proficient. This made him look like a teenage soldier who only knew how to kill, rather than a powerful, gifted cultivator.

This was likely a shortcoming of the Seven Killings Tribulation—An Jing mastered destructive spells at a single glance, but these daily spells truly required diligent study to fully grasp.

Regarding this, An Jing held no vanity or arrogance about being a super genius. He openly asked Huo Qing and Nian Quan for guidance. Both of them were long accustomed to taking care of themselves; the former was a master of Fire Control Technique and Wind Control Technique, practiced for the sake of cooking and making soup, while the latter's Heart-Clearing Incantation and Body-Purifying Incantation had reached the point of being cast silently with a single thought.

This also aligned with their talents: the former was Fire, Earth, and Wood, while the latter was Heavenly Water.

For spells that neither of them knew, An Jing went to consult his teachers.
