Chapter 801: Four-Vein Ancient Spiritual Roots
Hearing Tang Rao's words, everyone was a bit curious, wondering what was so special about the Fool and the Madman.
As far as they could see, the talents of the two couldn't be considered outstanding.
Especially the Madman, at twenty years old, being at the seventh stage of Earth Immortal, was seen as having poor aptitude by everyone.
"Someone's coming out," Fan Xiaohua suddenly shouted.
With Fan Xiaohua's shout, a door opened, and a figure stepped out, head lowered, seemingly in deep thought.
"Turns out he's my brother..." Suddenly, the person muttered and abruptly looked up, eyes like stars, brilliantly shining.
The Fool!
Everyone looked at the Fool, watching that brilliant gaze. Truthfully, if it weren't for the identical appearance, they would really doubt whether this person was the Fool they knew.
The Fool's eyes were supposed to be dull and muddled, but this person in front of them had eyes that were as sharp as prisms, intimidating.
"Tang Rao, where did you find this freak?" Xiao Yun looked at Tang Rao, unable to comprehend the present Fool, but there was no doubt, the Fool's realm was higher than hers, with an overwhelming aura.
Tang Rao shrugged and didn't answer.
The Fool had always been in the Kao Shan Sect, it could only be said that Tang Rao had an eye for talent.
"Three-stage Immortal Monarch, not bad at all." Tang Rao said with a smile. Yes, this was the Fool's current strength. From leaping from a seventh-stage Heavenly Immortal to a three-stage Immortal Monarch, this speed was simply beyond terrifying.
This means that currently, in the entire Kao Shan Sect, the Fool was the first in rank by realm.
A Three-stage Immortal Monarch, in those major factions, would be a notable character. Moreover, the Fool is just in his twenties, making it even more incredible.
"Sect Master." The Fool looked at Tang Rao, his gaze shifting, after a moment, he respectfully called out.
"I'll still call you the Fool then." Tang Rao said with a smile.
"Of course." The Fool nodded, after all, it was just a title, not that important.
The important one was Tang Rao, the current Kao Shan Sect.
Although he had regained his memory, the Fool hadn't forgotten what happened before.
He remembered everything that happened to him and remembered Tang Rao's kindness towards him.
"The Madman should be out soon." Tang Rao said.
"Mm." The Fool nodded, "He might not recover just yet, Sect Master, better not tell him at first."
"Naturally, your affairs I won't interfere with. As long as you are part of the Kao Shan Sect, I will do my utmost to help you. Even if it means poking a hole in the sky, I, Tang Rao, will stay with you to the end." Tang Rao said.
The Fool took a deep breath, this was a great kindness.
"Hahaha, who will face me in battle!" A few minutes later, a door was kicked open, the Madman rushed out, battle intent exploding.
Seeing the Madman, Fan Xiaohua was instantly delighted, haha, he's at Ro Immortal stage one, I am not at the bottom!
"Madman, don't put on airs, I'll fight!" Fan Xiaohua charged forward.
However, two seconds later, Fan Xiaohua was flying back, face darkened.
Damn, he's at second-stage Ro Immortal, and the Madman is at first-stage Ro Immortal, yet he couldn't withstand the Madman's second move.
Fan Xiaohua really wanted to say: Bro, this is heart-breaking!
"I can't beat the Madman either, so fierce..." Lu Jun muttered, although the Madman is at Ro Immortal stage one, his combat power is exceedingly fierce, probably able to fight a fourth-stage Ro Immortal head-on.
"Alright Madman, save the fight for later, let's wait a bit, there are still people who haven't come out." Tang Rao said.
The Madman squinted his eyes but didn't act anymore.
The Madman is just crazy, just filled with a desire for battles, only forgetting a lot of things. But he's still capable of basic cognition and communication.
...
"Why isn't he out yet?" Two hours later, Tang Rao muttered softly.
Geng Bucuo is a stubborn guy. Logically speaking, he should be very time-conscious. If he said he'd be out at this time, he shouldn't delay.
But the fact remains, Geng Bucuo's room was completely silent.
"Maybe the guy's too embarrassed to come out? Might be that his progress is too little, feeling too ashamed." Fan Xiaohua said.
Everyone rolled their eyes at Fan Xiaohua, this guy is currently the weakest, so he's constantly thinking there would be someone weaker than him. Such petty thoughts, it's quite unique.
"Tang Rao, do you know what Geng Bucuo's Spirit Root is?" Xiao Yun suddenly asked.
Tang Rao was taken aback, then shook his head, why was Xiao Yun suddenly asking this?
"Hm, maybe, it's that." The Fool suddenly looked at Xiao Yun and nodded.
"Then it's amazing." Xiao Yun muttered, once more looking at Tang Rao. Really not understanding how Tang Rao got so lucky, silently gathering so many prodigy-level individuals.
Xiao Yue, Cha Xiangzi, the Fool, the Madman, each one had dreadful talent.
And then there's this Geng Bucuo, if Geng Bucuo truly possesses that thing, then perhaps even all of them combined wouldn't match Geng Bucuo's value.
Tang Rao and others looked at the Fool and then at Xiao Yun, completely clueless about what they were discussing.
"I told you." Seeing everyone's eager eyes, Xiao Yun couldn't help but mutter, "Geng Bucuo might also have the Four Ancient Spiritual Roots, cultivating, that is, the Four Ancient Veins Path. As you know, those cultivating the Four Ancient Veins Path, once reaching the ninth-stage Immortal Monarch, can refine a Stone of Enlightenment, helping others to quickly break through."
"Are the Four Ancient Spiritual Roots named after Taotie, Qiongqi, Chaos, and Taowu?" Tang Rao asked.
"You know about this, Tang Rao, not many people know." Xiao Yun nodded, "The Ancient Four Veins Spirit Root involves these four veins, each immensely strong. Of course, among the strong, there's the strongest, generally speaking, from weak to strong: Taowu, Qiongqi, Chaos, and Taotie. The owners of your previous Stones of Enlightenment must have belonged to the Taowu vein in the Ancient Four Veins Spirit Root." Xiao Yun said.
Tang Rao nodded, he remembered Li Shengxuan saying that he, Tang Rao, also possessed the Four Ancient Spiritual Roots, just that Li Shengxuan couldn't confirm which one.
"Xiao Yun, am I part of the Four Ancient Spiritual Roots?" Tang Rao asked.
"No!" Xiao Yun and the Fool simultaneously shook their heads.
Tang Rao was stunned, not? How could that be, Shengxuan clearly said he was one of the Four Ancient Spiritual Roots.
"Why?" Tang Rao asked.
"The Four Ancient Spiritual Roots have one most direct feature." Xiao Yun said.
"What?"
"It's this."
At this moment, a deep beast roar echoed, and at the same time, above everyone, appeared a massive ancient giant beast's phantom, resembling a giant tiger, with straight, sharp fur. Wings on its back, vast and boundless; beneath the beast, it trampled on two dragon-shaped creatures, visually stunning.
"Qiongqi vein, impressive." Xiao Yun pouted, "When a cultivator of the Four Ancient Veins Spirit Root breaks through a Great Realm, it will trigger such an anomaly. You don't have that, right?"
Tang Rao gaped, during his realm breakthroughs, there were indeed no such phenomena.
Could it be, Li Shengxuan was wrong? Was he not of the Four Ancient Spiritual Roots himself?
