Chapter 342: Can sea beasts also be believers?
"Speaking of which, Lingyu, do you have a natural spiritual root of the water element? I remember Senior Tianyu said that you seem to have a natural spiritual root of the Yin-Yang and Five Elements attributes."

Fang Chen suddenly remembered that Chu Lingyu's spiritual roots were created by the Saint Clan. When he used the Heavenly Evolution Method to investigate, the information he obtained was also different from that of ordinary spiritual roots.

Normal spiritual roots will be directly called water spiritual roots, fire spiritual roots, etc., which not only show the attributes but also let people know that this is a natural spiritual root.

Chu Lingyu's spiritual roots are shown as natural spiritual roots (fake).

Because it was so special, Fang Chen was still able to recall all the information.

Name: Heavenly Spiritual Root (Fake)

Level: First-class

Features: Aura affinity (Yin)

Aura Affinity (Yin): Can slowly absorb the spiritual energy (Yin) of heaven and earth and store it in the body.

When Tianyu went to Taiji Fairy City, he also met Chu Lingyu, and claimed that her spiritual roots possessed the seven attributes of yin and yang and the five elements at the same time, but they were still natural spiritual roots, which amazed him.

It was precisely because of this special spiritual root that Tianyu noticed Chu Lingyu's situation and used a formation to seal the remaining memories of the saint's soul in her body, so that her growth would not be disturbed by these memories.

Why did Zhu Yueyao say that she had a natural spiritual root of water?
"A spiritual root with the attributes of Yin Yang and the Five Elements? That's quite appropriate, but he probably didn't explain the meaning of this sentence to you in detail, right?"

Before Chu Lingyu answered, Zhu Yueyao spoke first.

"It seems, there really isn't..."

Fang Chen recalled carefully that at that time Tianyu only explained to them the nature of spiritual roots, and did not further explain the so-called spiritual roots with the attributes of yin and yang and the five elements.

"A spiritual root can only have one attribute. This is not a natural law, but a man-made definition. Therefore, if one really possesses all seven attributes of yin and yang and the five elements at the same time, it cannot be called a spiritual root."

Zhu Yueyao then continued to speak, but did not explain in detail. Instead, she talked about the origin of the concept of heavenly spiritual roots.

"So Senior Tianyu was wrong?"

Fang Chen asked tentatively.

"Of course not. As you know, Ling Yu's spiritual roots are made by the Saints using innate energy, and the spiritual energy is innate energy that has been degraded many times. Therefore, innate energy can show affinity to spiritual energy of all attributes."

Zhu Yueyao shook her head and explained to Fang Chen why Tianyu said that.

"But if that's the case, shouldn't it be said that it is a spiritual root with all attributes? How did it later become a water spiritual root?"

However, Fang Chen couldn't accept this explanation, and he still didn't understand how Chu Lingyu could become a water-type spiritual root again.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, although the innate energy is compatible with any attribute, its affinity will also change with the technique I practice. When I met Senior Tianyu, I was practicing the Yin-Yang Five Elements Technique. This technique has all the Yin-Yang and Five Elements, so my spiritual roots are naturally compatible with the Yin-Yang and Five Elements. Later, I changed to practice a water technique, so I became a water-based spiritual root."

This time it was Chu Lingyu who spoke up to explain, even though she hadn't hung up the phone yet. She made things clear in just a few words.

"I see. But why did you change to practicing water-based skills? Don't you need to complete the five elements in the future?"

Chu Lingyu's explanation was simple and clear, and Fang Chen understood it immediately, but he was a little curious about why she wanted to change her practice method.

"Your Majesty, this is my personal choice. The Yin-Yang Five Elements Art is all-encompassing, but because it is a multi-attribute technique, it takes too long to practice. My sister has always said that the Immortal Dynasty lacks high-level cultivators, so I switched to this art."

Facing Fang Chen, Chu Lingyu did not hide anything and directly told him the reason.

"I see. Thank you for your hard work."

Fang Chen then noticed that Chu Lingyu's cultivation had now reached the early stage of Purple Mansion, and he could be considered the first Purple Mansion cultivator trained by the Immortal Dynasty.

Even if one abandons other attributes and fully exploits the advantages of one's spiritual roots, it is not easy to reach this level within ten years.

This must be the result of sacrificing personal rest time and focusing wholeheartedly on spiritual practice.

"Your Majesty has given me a new life, and this is what I should do."

Chu Lingyu shook her head and spoke in an unusually firm tone.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Hurry up and digest the title of Sea God. Then let Old Xu add your statue to the Temple of the God Emperor for worship."

After understanding the matter of spiritual roots, Fang Chen got down to business.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Chu Lingyu took the order and was about to hang up the phone, but found that Fang Chen was about to speak again, so she stopped what she was doing.

"By the way, the Sea God's throne is now in your Dantian. After you arrive in the world of cultivation, there is an innate spirit blank there. You should refine it with your divine power and use it as your throne to prevent the incense from affecting your will."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Lingyu felt warm at heart when she heard Fang Chen's final instructions.

She is no longer a little girl who knows nothing. She is very clear about the value of the innate spiritual embryo.

Fang Chen asked her to refine such a precious item and use it as her own deity, which also showed how much he valued her.

"Huh huh huh~"

So after hanging up the phone, Chu Lingyu felt extremely happy and even couldn't help humming a ballad.

"Send a message to Uncle Xu first, and then report to my sister."

Fang Chen asked her to find Xu Qiyun, but the general manager of the Immortal Dynasty was very busy, and even Fang Chen had to send a message before contacting him to avoid disturbing him.

The same goes for Chu Lingyu.

After briefly explaining the situation, she stood up and left her residence, making some hand gestures and flying away on her sword.

Chu Lingyu was training immortal soldiers at this time.

In the past ten years, the number of immortal soldiers has long exceeded the original size of two hundred.

The helplessness on the battlefield at that time made Chu Lingyu, Shi Dingtian and all the immortal soldiers hold their breath and want to rely on their own strength to protect the Immortal Dynasty.

But improving one's cultivation is not such a simple matter, not to mention that immortal soldiers all have the five elements of spiritual roots and practice the five elements together, so it is difficult to improve the progress of cultivation.

In this case, we can only expand the scale of the immortal soldiers and rely on the power of the battle formation to compete with powerful enemies.

First, the two men divided the original two hundred immortal soldiers into small groups, promoted them to centurions, and each of them led a hundred new recruits for training.

The size of the immortal army was expanded to 20,000 people in one go.

After the 20,000 new recruits became familiar with the battle formation, the two men promoted them to squad leaders, with each of them teaching ten new recruits, and the original 200 people were upgraded to captains of a thousand men.

After two rounds, the number of immortal soldiers reached 220,000, and each of them mastered the battle formation.

Even when facing the Dragon Armor's full strength attack, he could fight against it for half an hour without being at a disadvantage, but he could not win in the end.

After all, Long Jia not only has the cultivation base of the peak of the Golden Core Realm, he was also a celestial immortal with rich combat experience. Even against ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, he could defeat them. The fact that immortal soldiers can fight against him is already a force that cannot be ignored.

What's more, most of the immortal soldiers are still in the early to middle stages of Qi training. If their cultivation continues to improve, they will definitely become the backbone of the Immortal Dynasty's external wars.

Therefore, those who can be personally trained by Chu Lingyu, the master of battle formations, are not ordinary immortal soldiers. They must be at least at the level of squad leaders, and they have to be rotated every once in a while.

Ordinary immortal soldiers only have one chance every year to receive personal instruction from Chu Lingyu.

Of course, no matter whether it is the captain of a squad, a centurion, a thousand men, or even the captain of ten thousand men appointed later to better command the immortal soldiers, these are not lifelong positions. Once someone surpasses them in understanding of the battle formation, they can be replaced.

Under this incentive system, every immortal soldier worked hard to study the art of battle, creating a good competitive atmosphere.

Even another immortal general, Shi Dingtian, gained a deeper understanding of the art of battle formations in this atmosphere. Although he was still not as talented as Chu Lingyu, who had extraordinary talents, he was stronger than all the immortal soldiers and was able to convince the crowd.

"You guys digest what I just said first, and then continue."

Of course Chu Lingyu noticed Chu Lingyu coming. It happened that she had reached a certain point in her talk, so she could stop and communicate with her temporarily.

"Don't look around, or we'll all have to practice harder later."

Shi Dingtian, who was listening to the class at the side, also stood up at this time to prevent the immortal soldiers from not studying well.

"Sister, why are you here?"

After setting up a soundproof formation, Chu Lingyu began to ask.

Chu Lingyu has always been well-behaved and sensible. She came over when she was training, which obviously meant something very important.

"Is such that……"

Fang Chen had already ordered to erect a statue of the Sea God in the Immortal Dynasty, which meant that he had no intention of keeping it secret, so Chu Lingyu explained everything that had just happened in detail.

"Your Majesty asked you to become the God of the Sea? This is a trust that he has in you. You must not let him down."

Hearing that it was Fang Chen's order, Chu Lingyu did not stop him, but just gave a solemn instruction.

"Don't worry, sister. I will never let your majesty down."

When saying this, Chu Lingyu clenched his fists and his eyes were firm.

Seeing her sister's appearance, Chu Lingyu smiled and her tone became gentle, saying: "After returning to the cultivation world, you must also take good care of yourself."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand to straighten the hairpin in Chu Lingyu's hair, "Look at you, you came here in such a hurry that even your hairpin is crooked."

"Ah."

Chu Lingyu nodded gently, her hair rubbing against Chu Lingyu's hand, and her expression relaxed. After a moment, she said again: "Sister, I will leave first. Although His Majesty did not say when to go to the cultivation world, I don't want to delay time."

"Then go ahead and be safe."

Chu Lingyu did not stop her sister. She just gave her a gentle reminder, then removed the soundproof formation and went back to continue teaching the immortal soldiers.

Chu Lingyu also immediately took out the spiritual mirror and contacted Fang Chen.

"Lingyu, is there anything else?"

Fang Chen, who answered the call, was a little surprised, thinking that something had happened again.

"Your Majesty, I am ready. Please send me to the world of cultivation."

Chu Lingyu took a deep breath and expressed her thoughts to Fang Chen.

"Oh? Your statue hasn't been erected yet. If you go to the cultivation world now, you won't be able to resist the erosion of the power of chaos."

Although Fang Chen admired Chu Lingyu's courage, divine power was a hard requirement for taking action in the current world of cultivation.

Without divine power to block it, the erosion of the power of chaos is no joke.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have a way to resist the power of chaos."

Unexpectedly, Chu Lingyu was unmoved and looked like she didn't care about the power of chaos at all.

"Oh? What can I do?"

Fang Chen suspected at first that he had heard it wrong, but he quickly reacted and asked curiously.

The memories of a saint are sealed in Chu Lingyu's sea of ​​consciousness. As her cultivation level increases, Tianyu's seal will loosen a little, allowing her to explore the past of this saint.

The Holy Clan has nine immortal saints in charge, so it is normal that they have ways to resist the power of chaos.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember the seal that Senior Tianyu set for me? After I opened up my Purple Mansion, I was able to slowly digest the memories of that Saint. The method of resisting the power of chaos also came from him."

Chu Lingyu's answer confirmed Fang Chen's guess. Without waiting for him to ask, she continued, "I have compiled all the valuable information I have obtained from the Saint's memory into a book and uploaded it to the Spiritual Mirror. If Your Majesty is interested, you can go and check it out."

"very good."

Fang Chen nodded in satisfaction at Chu Lingyu's words.

It's not because of anything else, but because she is willing to share what she has gained, which is obviously the result of the education in the Xian Dynasty.

In the past, in the world of cultivation and even in the fairy world, most people would choose to keep this information to themselves just for their own benefit.

Over time, many powerful skills, spells, elixir recipes, formations, etc. began to be lost, so that the overall level of the cultivation world also declined.

The decline in the concentration of spiritual energy in the world of cultivation is mutually reinforcing, resulting in a part of what was once a vast world of immortals, now being difficult to find even a single psychic cultivator.

The fact that Chu Lingyu chose to share also indirectly shows that the development of the Xian Dynasty in the past ten years has not deviated from his original intention.

There are some things that cannot be understood just from the text of Xu Qiyun's report.

"In that case, I will send you to the world of cultivation."

Since Chu Lingyu has a way to resist the power of chaos, Fang Chen does not waste time and directly teleports her to the world channel of Taiyin Star.

"Is this, His Majesty's power?"

Chu Lingyu, who was teaching the battle formation on the side, felt something and looked towards the place where Chu Lingyu disappeared. He couldn't help but admire Fang Chen's methods even more.

The aura of the origin of the Heavenly Dao lingering at the scene gave her an idea and allowed her to gain a better understanding of space.

However, Fang Chen's attention was all on Chu Lingyu and he didn't notice this.

"Through this world passage, you can return to Ghost Domain Island. One of my clones is in the sea near the island. You have the Sea God's throne, so you should be able to sense his location. The innate spirit blank I mentioned is also there."

In front of the transmission channel leading to the world of cultivation, Fang Chen gave another instruction.

"I understand, Your Majesty."

Chu Lingyu hung up the phone, looked at the deep world passage in front of him, summoned his flying sword, turned into a stream of light, and flew in on the sword.

With the flying speed of a Purple Mansion cultivator, she quickly arrived at the world of cultivation.

"Well!"

Looking at the very familiar scene in front of him, Chu Lingyu groaned in pain before he had time to miss it.

The omnipresent power of chaos immediately began to erode her.

"Yes."

Chu Lingyu made a hand gesture with his right hand and shouted softly, as if he was using some magic.

The chaotic forces around her instantly showed behaviors similar to fear and avoided her.

Her complexion improved visibly.

After resolving the erosion of the chaotic force, Chu Lingyu closed his eyes and began to sense the nearby sea.

She had originally been practicing water-based skills, and now with the blessing of the position of Sea God, she quickly sensed the clone that Fang Chen had created using the Origin of Heaven.

Without any hesitation, he flew to the sea surface with his sword and flew directly into the sea without using any water-avoiding techniques.

She now has a natural spiritual root of water attribute and also practices water-based skills. She is as light and agile as a swimming fish and soon meets up with Fang Chen's clone.

"Hiss-"

"His Majesty."

Chu Lingyu simply ignored Sisi, who was treating him as if he were facing a formidable enemy, and saluted Fang Chen directly.

"No need to be so polite. I didn't expect you to come so soon."

Fang Chen carefully observed Chu Lingyu and indeed did not see any signs of being corroded by the power of chaos. He was completely relieved and pointed to the innate spirit blank in the cave and said, "This is the innate spirit blank. You can refine it first and use it as a god seat."

"it is good."

Chu Lingyu nodded and was about to reach out to take the innate spiritual blank.

"Hiss-"

This action seemed to touch Sisi's reverse scale, and she stood in front of her and made aggressive movements.

"Sisi, this is one of ours."

Fang Chen quickly explained.

"Hiss-"

Unexpectedly, Sisi didn't listen at all, and even planned to attack Fang Chen's Heavenly Dao clone first.

"How dare you be so disrespectful to His Majesty, you evil beast!"

Chu Lingyu didn't care about anything else. As soon as she saw Sisi showing hostility towards Fang Chen, she instantly exerted all her strength, even forcibly using her true essence to activate the power of the Sea God's throne, releasing pressure on Sisi.

"Hiss, hiss..."

After being hit like this, Sisi immediately became obedient, but Chu Lingyu had no intention of letting it go.

Fang Chen's position in her heart is unparalleled, and Sisi's actions definitely touched her sore spot.

"and many more!"

Just when she was about to kill him, Fang Chen stopped her.

"Listen to me, Sisi previously served my divine clone, but after I ascended to the throne of God Emperor, the divine clone I created with the God of Land naturally dissipated. This innate spirit blank was given to the divine clone. Your and my actions made it think that we were stealing its master's belongings, so it behaved like this."

Fang Chen was startled by Sisi's abnormal behavior just now, but he quickly analyzed the reason.

Sisi had no ill intentions, but the disappearance of his divine clone left it helpless.

"Since your majesty has said so, I will spare your life."

Only then did Chu Lingyu withdraw her pressure.

"His-"

Sisi turned around and suddenly bowed to her.

Under the gaze of the two, a trace of golden energy surged out from its body and then merged into Chu Lingyu's dantian.

"This is, the power of faith? Sea beasts can also provide the power of faith?"

Fang Chen on the side was very familiar with this energy, it was the power of faith.

However, this power of faith comes from a sea monster.

Can sea beasts be believers?
It was really beyond Fang Chen's understanding.
