A Baffled Liu Yi and the Innate Spirit Root
Liu Yi and the ferocious beast king locked eyes, and the surrounding air suddenly froze.
Neither the man nor the beast made a move; they simply stood in silent confrontation.
Liu Yi was in a state of utter confusion, caught between a rock and a hard place.
Attacking the Beast King, even setting aside the question of whether victory is possible, even if one could kill it...
The battle will undoubtedly be extremely loud, attracting the attention of powerful Immortal King, at which point he will be unable to cultivate in peace.
He quickly forced a gentle smile and tentatively asked, "I just happened to be passing by, do you believe me?"
The Beast King's originally cold and ferocious gaze softened slowly. Although it still held a wary look, the initial killing intent was gone, and its voice was extremely firm:
I believe you!
"Well?"
Liu Yi was stunned on the spot, his face full of disbelief.
How could this ferocious beast king believe such a far-fetched excuse?
Could this ferocious beast king be an idiot?
That doesn't make sense. He had heard that ferocious beasts that reach the king level are definitely no less intelligent than ordinary people.
But the other party neither launched an attack on the spot nor displayed the majesty of a ferocious beast king...
Could it be that I've unintentionally awakened a special skill that allows me to make up believable stories on the spot?
Just as Liu Yi was completely taken aback, the Beast King spoke again, "I'm tired of staying here too, and I was thinking of changing places. You can have this place."
Having said that, it turned around and returned to the lake without waiting for Liu Yi's response, splashing water everywhere, before drifting away along the river away from the Heavenly Pillar Peak ruins.
The waves surged and roared as the ferocious beast king gradually disappeared into the distance.
Liu Yi stared blankly at the scene before him, still looking completely bewildered.
How could this ferocious beast king suddenly become so understanding?
The two sides had neither fought nor been coerced by him. Moreover, he was only at the Peak True Martial Realm, so the other party had no reason to be afraid of him.
Why did the previously ferocious beast king so readily abandon its lair?
He had expected a fierce battle to be inevitable, and had even planned to exchange a few blows before withdrawing before alerting the Immortal King.
Unexpectedly, both the beginning and the end were beyond his expectations.
A world-shaking battle at the level of Immortal King vanished with the departure of the Ferocious Beast King.
As Liu Yi watched the ferocious beast king's figure recede into the distance, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This shouldn't be... How could this happen? This script is completely off..."
At this moment, the ferocious beast king ran faster and faster, wishing it could get away from Liu Yi in an instant, and a trace of lingering fear was hidden deep in its eyes.
"Oh my god, at least we're finally away from that scoundrel!"
Luckily I didn't act impulsively, otherwise I would definitely be dead.
I am, after all, a ferocious beast king with a long lifespan, and I don't want to die such a miserable death.
That guy appears to be at the Peak of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, but in reality, he's at least a ruthless Immortal King!
Fortunately, I have the talent to avoid danger and seek good fortune; otherwise, I might have died at his hands if I had acted impulsively just now.
Luckily, I was quick-witted. Following his lead, I decisively abandoned my hideout and made a run for it.
I even abandoned the Innate Purple Heart Lotus that I had guarded for many years and my treasured possessions. Surely they won't come after me to kill me now!
No, I need to be faster, as far away as possible!
The ferocious beast king immediately soared into the sky, leaving the river, and fled madly toward the distant horizon, as if a peerless monster was chasing after it.
"Strange, really Primordial."
This ferocious beast king is strange, extremely strange...
He seemed particularly afraid of me; had he seen through my true strength?
That shouldn't be the case.
What I'm showing now is only the Peak True Martial Realm, which, according to common sense, should be absolutely impossible to intimidate a ferocious beast king.
This guy is too strange, could he also be a reincarnated person?
Knowing my true nature, and even having perished at my hands in a past life, is that why they flee in panic upon seeing me?
Or perhaps he possesses some kind of extraordinary treasure or technique that allows him to discern my true strength...
As Liu Yi watched the ferocious beast king disappear into the horizon, his mind was filled with doubts, and he even had the thought of immediately chasing after it and questioning it about why it had run away.
But reason ultimately prevailed over impulse.
Since the Beast King was so sensible, he naturally had no need to invite trouble. Fighting would be of no benefit to him.
He turned to look at the lake, where a lotus flower radiating purple divine light was slowly blooming in the center of the lake, with thirty-six immature lotus seeds adorning its seedpod.
Upon seeing the purple lotus, Liu Yi's eyes widened in shock, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"Holy crap, this is Innate Spirit Root!"
A legendary, supreme treasure!
How could that ferocious beast king be so generous as to discard even Innate Spirit Root?
This is too strange, could it be a trap?
He carefully surveyed his surroundings but found no hidden enemies or ambushes, which only deepened his suspicions.
It's truly baffling what went wrong with that ferocious beast king, that it would even be willing to give up its Innate Spirit Root.
Could there be something wrong with this Innate Spirit Root? Is the other party trying to use the purple lotus to plot against me?
Thinking of this, he became even more cautious, spreading his Divine Sense and probing repeatedly.
There were indeed no enemies or traps around, and the purple lotus was not a highly poisonous Spirit Root, but a genuine low-grade Innate Spirit Root — the Innate Purple Heart Lotus.
It can help cultivators improve their State of Mind and nourish their soul.
Upon learning the result, he did not immediately rush forward with joy; instead, his doubts deepened.
After a moment's hesitation, Liu Yi raised his hand and made a grasping motion. Immediately, thirty-two Immortal Artifact and thirty-five storage Law Treasure flew out of the lake and landed in front of him.
He probed with his Divine Sense to examine the item carefully, but found nothing unusual; there were no traps within the storage Law Treasure.
Instead, it contained many treasures and Cultivation Method Secret Manual, one of which was particularly peculiar.
However, he did not check them immediately, but instead put all the Law Treasure into his Storage Space.
Then he looked again at the Innate Purple Heart Lotus in the center of the lake, which was shrouded in purple divine light and Innate energy.
This low-grade innate Innate Spirit Root must contain hidden dangers unknown to him; otherwise, the ferocious beast king would never have abandoned such a supreme treasure.
But it never imagined that it had so many worlds.
As long as the Innate Purple Heart Lotus is brought into the Xuanyi World, he can discover any hidden secrets it may contain.
Trying to frame him?
That's utterly wishful thinking.
Liu Yi immediately raised his hand, and his vast Law Power condensed into a giant hand that reached straight for the Innate Purple Heart Lotus, lifting up the soil beneath it as well.
He then sent the entire Innate Spirit Root into the Xuanyi World and placed it in a spiritual lake.
Immediately afterwards, he merged his mind with the Dao of Heavenly Dao, repeatedly scanning and probing the Innate Purple Heart Lotus, but he still could not find the slightest hidden danger.
This result completely stunned him.
He had inexplicably obtained a low-grade Innate Spirit Root, along with a whole bunch of Immortal Artifact and treasures.
That ferocious beast king wasn't trying to ambush him at all; it was clearly a benevolent beast that had come specifically to bring him treasure.
Wrong!
Ferocious beasts are inherently cruel and violent; how could there be any benevolent beasts?
The aura of that ferocious beast king just now was extremely malevolent; it didn't look like a benevolent beast at all.
There must be a reason behind this that he was unaware of.
He shook his head, no longer dwelling on the strange and ferocious beast king.
Since the benefits are already in hand, we can ask about them again if we encounter them in the future.
This trip has been very fruitful.
Not only did they obtain a large number of Law Treasure and secret manuals, but they also acquired a low-grade Innate Spirit Root.
He had just used the Heavenly Dao scan to discern the fundamental structure of the Innate Spirit Root.
The Xuanyi World also includes Spirit Root templates, allowing users to cultivate Innate Spirit Root and make the world more perfect.
He looked around carefully again, and finding nothing else, he immediately prepared to return to the Heavenly Pillar Peak ruins to begin updating the Fairness System 12.0.
