Ch.14 My Own Path

Using all his remaining strength, Yucheng took out a jade bottle from his space bag. Opening the lid, a small green pill fell into his hands.

A magical scene happened as his wounds started to heal at a very slow rate, taking another deep breath he put the pill in his mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth as a warm current passed through his body, and all of the damage to his body started to heal alarmingly.

Even though his damaged root was healed in an instant, Yucheng's pale face gained some blood in a minute he became healthier than ever.

If such an accident happened most people would be depressed but you can see a smile on Yucheng's face, the smile isn't because he is a masochist.

He is smiling because he found a path of his own, calming himself down he sat in a lotus position and took out another cultivation book.

"Haa, I have mastered the Flame scripture."

Yucheng muttered as he looked at the Water Scripture in his hand, now he needed to check if it was a one-time thing or not.

"Let's be prepared first."

Having said that he took out another green pill, it was a high-grade Mortal-rank healing pill. Something his master gave him to make sure he doesn't kill himself when practicing.

After all spiritual roots are they are quite fragile and there is a great chance of damaging them. If he had already awakened the spiritual roots these pills wouldn't have been able to heal them.

With everything prepared Yucheng opened up the Water scripture and started to read it, in a moment he got in a trance.

Spiritual energy started to flow toward his body as his understanding of the water scripture increased by a rapid amount.

Just like last time the spiritual energy started to penetrate his body, this time it was another spiritual root.

As spiritual energy was being guided Yucheng understood all of the water scripture and started to focus on the spiritual energy in his body.

He started to guide it to flow more gently, it worked for a while before the elements became chaotic again and exploded.

"haa, Aaa"

Grunting a little He gulped down another healing pill as his wounds started to heal.

"Again..."

Yucheng muttered as he took out another book and started to read it, the same situation happened but the spiritual energy was more stable than before.

Then he took out the fourth, the fifth, and the others. Finally, after twelve hours, he read all seven books and the spiritual energy stability lasted for the longest period.

His spiritual root was almost awakened but he stopped the process. He knew it would have exploded after the root was awakened.

If he hadn't stopped the process the damage would have been irreversible, even with the help of the healing pill he wouldn't have been able to heal it.

"haa, Haa, haa"

Yucheng took a deep breath as he was mentally exhausted, although his physical body was fine his mind wasn't.

Taking out a fasting pill from another pill bottle he gulped it down in a single motion. Feeling energy fill his body he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next day he woke up more active than ever, taking out a medium-grade spirit stone he putting it in his palm.

"Well,... Quite the painful journey it has been."

Yucheng muttered as he thought of the seven times he was in a near-death situation yesterday. Shaking his head he sat in a lotus position and started to think of the cultivation technique.

With what he had learned and from the novels he had read in his last time a basic foundation of a new technique was created.

Spiritual energy started to flow into his body but he stopped it from doing so. After sixteen hours or so he opened his eyes.

Taking another fasting pill he fell asleep again, another day the same process repeated.

Just like that, a month had passed, beard had started to grow in Yucheng's face as his hair became longer.

Inside the cave, you can see Yucheng sitting in a lotus position surrounded by tens of middle-grade spirit stones.

The spiritual energy continued to rush into his body as it formed a raging river in his spiritual roots. The elements started to riot again but Yucheng was prepared this time.

He covered flames with water, water with thunder, thunder with wind, wind with nature, and finally nature with fire.

The light and darkness started to balance one another again as the spiritual energy started to get stable.

Yucheng didn't break away due to such small success but gave even more focus, he started guiding the spiritual energy through the entire spiritual root.

Only when a cycle of spiritual energy is formed then he can be considered a Qi Period- Root Awakening stage cultivator.

But just as a cycle was about to be completed the spiritual energy started to riot again, light and darkness started to fight as they disturbed the balance of the other elements.

Yucheng quickly dispelled the spiritual energy so as not to damage his spiritual roots.

"Hoooo.."

He exhaled a deep breath as he opened his eyes, wiping away the sweat from his forehead he looked at the cave ceiling.

He has stayed in this cave for more than a month now creating this technique but there still isn't success in sight.

"What is the problem with Light and darkness."

Yucheng asked the question aloud as he thought of the reason for the current disability of the elements.

In a trance, he stood up and started to walk out of the dark cave. He looked at his surroundings as his mind thought of thousands of reasons for failure.

Each reason was valid but he couldn't think of a way to solve the problem.

Walking out of the small gap he reached the larger cave but to his surprise sunlight hit his figure. looking up he could see the blue sky.

It contrasted greatly with the darkness he had been living in for more than a month.

"Aaa, so.. this..."

As he was muttering something his body stopped, and his mind started to absorb the surroundings as he couldn't feel anything but himself.

The laws of heaven and earth near him started to cheer as he reached a state of enlightenment. Spiritual energy started to gush out madly.

In his spiritual root, a river started to form, a river with seven intense lights. Just as the lights were about to fight against one another Yucheng in the started of enlightenment started to move them.

The rivers of light and darkness were broken down into five small rivers for each, as the rivers of the two-elements collided with the other remaining five-element rivers.

The spiritual energy started to surge like crazy as if it was about to explode but the explosion didn't happen.

Each of the elements was divided into two halves Yin and Yang;. The elements of Yin and Yang were balanced against each other first.

Then the two different natures started to balance one another, and the different spiritual energies in his body started to combine.

A purer strand of spiritual energy was created, and as more and more strands were collected a mighty river formed that traveled through his entire spiritual root.

Finally, a cycle was completed as Yucheng finally stepped into the realm of the Qi Period- Root Awakening stage.
