Chapter 2

“This isn’t a mixed five-element spiritual root, but a perfectly balanced five-element formation, creating a Dao Lotus! This is a Five-Element Chaos Lotus, the best of the best, even rarer than the Nine Yang Fire Spiritual Root, and can be called a divine-level spiritual root!”

“The reason the previous body cultivated so slowly was because divine-level spiritual roots require specialized techniques to truly unleash their power.”

“And I… just so happen to have mastered a Five-Element Heavenly Extreme Technique that matches the Five-Element Chaos Lotus!”

“One hundred years! No, I only need fifty years to reach the Heaven-Human Realm again!”

Even with Henry Langley’s cultivation at the Heaven-Human Realm in his previous life, he couldn’t help but show joy. Spiritual roots are determined at birth and cannot be changed later. In his past life, in order to break through to godhood, he had visited countless ancient sites and obtained a vast number of secret techniques. The Five-Element Heavenly Extreme Technique was one of them.

In his previous life, he stood at the pinnacle of martial arts. In this life, he would create glory again and forge an immortal legend.

“How did the previous body die?”

Henry Langley sifted through his memories, and soon his face turned angry.

The previous body was the only son of The Langley Family’s head, Douglas Langley. His mother and grandparents had passed away early. The Langley Family was a martial arts family; every clan member practiced martial arts and revered strength. Why could Douglas Langley become the family head? Because he was the strongest—he fought his way to the top.

But because of his spiritual root problem, Henry Langley had been regarded as useless since childhood and suffered countless cold stares.

To win a bright future for his son, Douglas Langley reached an agreement with Tiger Sun Academy—Tiger Sun Academy would accept Henry Langley as a disciple and fully nurture him. In exchange, Douglas Langley would enter the Purple Light Valley to search for something lost long ago for Tiger Sun Academy.

Tiger Sun Academy was established by the Rain Country imperial court and had countless resources. With their full support, even the most useless person could reach the Gathering Origin Realm.

But the people at Tiger Sun Academy weren’t fools. If that item was easy to obtain, would they offer such generous terms?

Purple Light Valley was fraught with danger; a single misstep could mean death. Yet for his son, Douglas Langley set out without hesitation seven days ago.

Yesterday, people from Tiger Sun Academy arrived and informed The Langley Family that they would come today to pick up the person as agreed. But at this moment, The Langley Family’s chief steward, Clark Langley, came to negotiate with the previous body, asking him to give up this precious spot to his grandson, Martin Langley.

The reason was that Martin Langley was a genius with limitless potential, and such an opportunity shouldn’t be wasted on a useless person.

Naturally, the previous body refused—this was a chance his father had risked his life to obtain! But Clark Langley said it was a negotiation, when in fact he was just informing him, never caring about his opinion.

Unable to bear it any longer, the previous body fought back, but Clark Langley was a Gathering Origin Realm expert—he could suppress him with a single finger. How could he be a match?

With just one punch, the previous body was seriously injured and then locked in his own room, clearly to prevent him from causing trouble in front of Tiger Sun Academy’s people. By the time Douglas Langley returned, it would be too late.

And so, the gravely injured previous body was literally angered to death.

Henry Langley snorted coldly. This was simply intolerable—his father had risked his life for this spot, only for it to be snatched away by Clark Langley and his grandson?

These shameless dogs!

Unforgivable!

He climbed out of bed, immediately feeling sore all over—he had come back to life, but his injuries hadn’t miraculously healed.

“Hm? Even my spiritual root is injured!” Henry Langley frowned. Clark Langley’s blow had damaged his spiritual root, and such an injury was extremely troublesome—ordinary healing stones were useless.

“As far as I know, there are seven types of pills that can repair spiritual roots, but four require materials so expensive that even selling the entire The Langley Family wouldn’t be enough—and besides, my spiritual root is only lightly injured, so I don’t need such high-grade pills.”

“Of the remaining three, two need to be refined into pills, but with my current second-layer body refinement cultivation, that’s too difficult. That leaves only one option—Origin Heart Spirit Restoration Powder. I just need to mix the herbs in the right proportions and boil them into a medicinal decoction.”

“First, I’ll heal my injuries, then go stop Clark Langley and his grandson. I may not care about this spot, but I absolutely cannot let the opportunity my father risked his life for fall into the hands of those shameless two!”

He sat cross-legged and began to circulate the “Immortal Heaven Sutra.”

This was his first time using what might be a divine-level technique, but after pondering it for ten thousand years, he now wielded it with ease. Humming sounds arose as powerful vitality surged within him. Yuan energy was rapidly consumed, but his injuries healed quickly.

In just a few minutes, his wounds were completely gone.

“As expected of the Immortal Heaven Sutra. I’ve only just started cultivating it, yet the effects are already so miraculous. But this is completely different from other techniques—normal techniques use the spiritual root to convert heaven and earth spiritual energy into yuan energy, but the Immortal Heaven Sutra does the opposite: it tempers the body with yuan energy and can heal injuries.”

“At the highest level, immortality is not impossible.”

“That’s why it’s called a Heaven Sutra!”

“Unfortunately, my current level isn’t high enough, or I could use the Immortal Heaven Sutra to repair my spiritual root as well.”

Henry Langley opened his eyes, glanced at the sky growing light outside the window, and muttered, “Now, it’s time to pay a visit to that shameless old Clark Langley and give him a surprise.”
