Chapter 360.1: Awakening, A Terrifying Identity (8000 words)
They soon returned to his own courtyard.
He originally intended to check Yan Xia here directly.
However, after some thought, his gaze fell on Feng Qingya beside him.
“Miss Feng, please take Miss Yan Xia for a ride. We’re going to Clear Wind Mountain.”
Although his own courtyard was already quite safe, with virtually no one coming in.
But there are no impenetrable walls in this world after all.
News from the Spiritual Medicine Sect could reach Zou Zeyu from so far away, who knows what kind of means those powerful cultivators have.
If Yan Xia’s true physique is revealed later.If any unusual phenomena occur, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble.
Feng Qingya nodded without hesitation, summoning her purple silk ribbon spirit artifact.
With Yan Xia aboard, the three of them headed towards Clear Wind Mountain.
Su Jingzhen led the way on his sword, and after a short while, when a familiar patch of dense forest came into view, he steered his sword downwards. This was the lair of The Pink Poisonous Woman from before.
This forest was quite secluded and was considered a deep part of Clear Wind Mountain.
Su Jingzhen directly brought the two women to the cave entrance where The Pink Poisonous Woman had once lived.
Feng Qingya’s eyes flickered with a hint of confusion.
Then, a smile curved her lips.
“Could this be the place where Master Su was injured last time?
I suppose the Pink Poisonous Woman who bit Master Su has already been eliminated by you.”
Su Jingzhen shook his head: “I originally wanted to avenge the bite.
But when I arrived, It was gone. I don’t know if it has moved to a new dwelling or was taken by someone else.
It’s a bit of a pity.”
He didn’t say much more.
He directly took out the Awakening Array Disk and the spirit stones.
“Yan Xia, are you ready?”
Holding the Awakening Array Disk, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but look at Yan Xia again.
The latter was still too excited to speak.
She clenched her fists and nodded at Su Jingzhen.
Seeing this, Su Jingzhen turned his gaze to Feng Qingya: “Miss Feng, please watch me closely. If there’s anything wrong with the operation, please point it out in time.”
Immediately, Su Jingzhen circulated his blood energy and directly activated the Awakening Array Disk in his hand.
In the next instant, the transparent crystal-like disk slowly rotated and rose into the air.
In the darkness of the dense forest, it condensed into a transparent beam of light that emanated a faint glow.
As soon as the beam of light appeared, the spirit stones in Su Jingzhen’s hand were instantly activated and thrown directly into the center of the Awakening Array Disk.
In the next instant, there was a mysterious energy fluctuation within the beam of light.
This kind of beam of light was exactly the same as the aura emanating from the Huayang Sect Spirit Awakening Tower before.
“Yan Xia!”
Su Jingzhen shouted.
Yan Xia, who was already prepared, didn’t hesitate and stepped directly into the beam of light.
At the same time, Yan Xia silently recited a mysterious incantation.
An unusual aura also emanated from her body.
Seeing this scene, Su Jingzhen was slightly surprised.
He felt that Yan Xia must have come prepared this time.
His anticipation grew even stronger.
Yan Xia had sworn an oath to Heaven in front of him.
No matter whether she could awaken her spiritual roots or awaken the so-called special physique, she would only be loyal to Su Jingzhen for the rest of her life.
Feng Qingya beside her also became expectant.
If Yan Xia’s special physique truly awakened today, she would be witnessing a legendary existence.
And her previous oath to Heaven only said that she wouldn’t reveal this matter.
Of course, even without swearing an oath to Heaven, she wouldn’t have spread it around.
After all, Su Jingzhen was a good friend of hers.
Speaking of which, her oath to Heaven didn’t say that she, Feng Qingya, wouldn’t try to get a share.
With the strength of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, or rather, with the strength of the Feng family, there should be a considerable temptation for Yan Xia.
However, Feng Qingya didn’t know at this time that Yan Xia had already sworn an oath to Heaven in front of Su Jingzhen.
As the mysterious aura emanated from Yan Xia’s body, the glow on the Awakening Array Disk became even more intense.
But the light of the disk didn’t reveal anything.
The most important thing was still the spirit stone on top of the disk. If the spirit stone emitted any light, it would prove that Yan Xia had awakened her spiritual roots.
Su Jingzhen and Feng Qingya’s eyes were fixed on the spirit stone on the disk.
It remained as bright as ever.
Yan Xia stood in the beam of light for a full dozen breaths.
But the spirit stone didn’t show even a hint of light.
Seeing this scene, Su Jingzhen and Feng Qingya both frowned.
According to their common sense, whether one’s spiritual roots can be awakened is basically determined ten seconds before being detected by the power of the Spirit Awakening Stone.
If one truly had spiritual roots, the spirit stone’s energy would easily activate them.
At this time, Yan Xia seemed to be able to sense her situation.
A look of pain crossed her face.
“I can’t fail, I must succeed, this is my only chance!”
She silently muttered to herself.
Then, her eyes regained their calm in an instant.
With the same stubbornness as before, she recited the incantation again.
At the same time, the internal energy she had cultivated from her mundane martial arts over the years began to circulate throughout her meridians, flowing through her limbs and bones.
Her father, Yan Chixiong, had told her that if she couldn’t naturally awaken her spiritual roots, the mundane martial arts she practiced would be the key to awakening them.
Although she didn’t know why her Qi-refining Stage parents would know this.
But she believed it wholeheartedly.
Because this was her only chance to change her fate, and she could only believe it.
As her internal energy flowed throughout her body, Su Jingzhen and Feng Qingya’s expressions suddenly became excited.
Because at this moment, above the Awakening Array Disk, the transparent crystal-like spirit stone actually emitted a very faint light.
The light was ice blue.
Water vapor permeated it.
This represented that Yan Xia had truly awakened her spiritual roots, and they were water spiritual roots.
At this moment, Yan Xia herself also sensed a slight change within her body.
In this instant, she seemed to be able to sense all the water-attribute elements in the dense forest.
Yan Xia’s heart was filled with excitement. For so many years, her parents had never given up on her, and she had participated in so many awakening ceremonies, but none of them had been successful.
Finally, today, she had cultivated her mundane martial arts to a great extent, and her spiritual roots had finally awakened!
She still didn’t know why her situation was so strange, but she knew that at the moment her water-attribute spiritual roots had awakened.
Her fate had already changed.
At this moment, the internal energy in Yan Xia’s body, which was cultivated through ordinary martial arts, surged more and more joyfully.
Immediately, the spirit stone on the disk lit up again.
This simple awakening array didn’t differentiate spiritual root qualities like the proper Spirit Awakening Tower, which uses colors to distinguish them.
One light from the spirit stone meant ordinary spiritual roots.
Two lights meant that Yan Xia possessed mysterious-quality water spiritual roots!
After the two lights lit up, no matter how much Yan Xia urged her internal energy, the disk only maintained this level, and the spirit stone showed no further changes.
It remained just a thin layer of water vapor!
A minute passed, and it was still the same.
Then, the light on the spirit stone gradually dissipated.
This proved that Yan Xia had no other spiritual roots.
At this time, Su Jingzhen put away the Awakening Array Disk and the spirit stone.
He and Feng Qingya exchanged glances, both with a hint of shock.
Single attribute, mysterious water spiritual roots!
Setting aside whether she was a special physique or not, this type of spiritual root could be considered a genius throughout the entire Qingzhou region.
But for the past few years, every time she awakened, she had only awakened a pseudo-spiritual root.
This phenomenon was truly bizarre.
Su Jingzhen and Feng Qingya both knew that the results of this awakening disk detecting spiritual roots might not be as accurate as the proper Spirit Awakening Tower.
But the error wouldn’t be too outrageous.
After pondering for a few seconds, Feng Qingya’s gaze towards Yan Xia was filled with heat.
In Feng Qingya’s opinion, Yan Xia’s current situation might be truly caused by the so-called special physique she mentioned.
Because she was a special physique, her spiritual roots should have been suppressed by her physique.
Therefore, the single mysterious water attribute spiritual root detected at this time should, in Feng Qingya’s view, most likely not be Yan Xia’s limit.
This was a person with limitless potential.
Feng Qingya’s first thought was to take her into Treasure Gathering Pavilion or, more accurately, into the Feng family.
However, she didn’t speak immediately.
At this moment, Yan Xia’s body was trembling uncontrollably.
The awakening of spiritual roots had an unparalleled impact on her.
Something seemed to be understood in this instant.
A certain power within Yan Xia seemed to be releasing itself from every cell.
Su Jingzhe and Feng Qingya clearly felt at this moment that the water elements in the surrounding void were constantly gathering towards Yan Xia.
The Pink Poisonous Woman’s cave, originally dry, was now extremely damp. Every leaf in the dense forest dripped with dew.
The moisture carried a bone-chilling coldness.
Even Flesh Body Golden Embroy fifth-layer cultivator Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but shiver.
Feng Qingya beside him even involuntarily took a few steps back.
Her body seemed to be shaking from the cold.
On the other hand, Yan Xia, whose spiritual roots had just awakened, was no longer trembling and had a calm expression.
A sacred aura emanated from her.
At this moment, the excitement on Su Jingzhen and Feng Qingya’s faces had become incredibly solemn.
They knew that Yan Xia must have a special physique. The moment her spiritual roots awakened, her physique had also awakened.
Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but take a few steps back into the forest.
Standing beside Feng Qingya, his gaze curiously fixed on her.
With Su Jingzhen’s knowledge, he naturally couldn’t tell what kind of physique Yan Xia possessed.
Feng Qingya’s body was still trembling slightly.
But she said in awe, “This kind of moisture, this kind of icy aura, this kind of power, it must be the legendary Water Spirit Saint Body!
But…how could this be possible for a child born by Yan Chixiong and his wife, who are only at the Qi Refining stage!
Shouldn’t this kind of Saint body be passed down?”
As she spoke, Feng Qingya’s voice was heavy with concern.
She felt that when Yan Xia’s Water Spirit Saint Body fully awakened, she, Feng Qingya, might not even be worthy of taking her into the Feng family.
Even now, she felt that their unintentional actions would cause a huge change in Qingzhou and the surrounding areas.
A sense of fear arose in Feng Qingya’s heart.
