Chapter 52 Forty-Nine Spiritual Roots

Fortunately, Ye Chuxiao did not intend to cultivate deeply in this world.

After successfully 'lighting up' the copper tree spirit root in Dinghai City, Ye Chuxiao led a portion of his 'followers' on the road to another city to light up another spirit root.

Linyuan City, Beishan City, Muyun City, Guari City.

In city after city, on the spirit root plazas constructed, various spirit root sculptures were given their initial spirituality by Ye Chuxiao, becoming a medium for sorting out and gathering many cultivators to jointly deduce the imaginary spirit root.

As Ye Chuxiao lit up the spirit roots, the value of real estate in that city naturally rose accordingly.

The Wang family and their partners naturally made a fortune in this gluttonous feast.

Simply helping to create a personal imaginary spirit root would not have such high value.

The key is that once the shared spirit root in the spirit root plaza reaches a high grade, it can also feedback energy and abilities to the cultivators near the plaza.

This undoubtedly lit up 'gold mines' in city after city.

Perhaps Ye Chuxiao's act of disrupting the spirit root business ruined the cake for some cultivators, but now that he has created a larger and more delicious cake, the number of cultivators who hope he lives well, travels the world, and lights up every city is far greater than the former.

Now, every time he arrives at a place, Ye Chuxiao receives many 'followers'.

Among these followers, some are truly in awe, some have ulterior motives, and a large proportion are hired by vested interests to protect Ye Chuxiao, so that he will not lose his life due to various 'accidents' while traveling between cities.

At this time, Ye Chuxiao has gathered great momentum. Even though he is only a Bitter Realm cultivator, he is enough to make cultivators beyond the fourth or fifth realm in this world serve him, regarding themselves as 'disciples' and retainers. Those sixth and seventh realm powerhouses also provide covert care, blocking threats far out of his sight.

Before Ye Chuxiao finishes walking through all the cities and lighting up all the spirit roots, he will be extremely safe.

Threatening Ye Chuxiao is equivalent to being an enemy of the entire world.

When Ye Chuxiao walked through the fifteenth city, he had as many as a thousand followers, half of whom had entered the Energy Realm.

With such a large force traveling, everywhere they went, gods and ghosts would avoid them.

Even those cultivators with severe adolescent delusions were shocked and dared not rush forward to utter bold words and challenge Ye Chuxiao according to the original plan.

Such a vast and mighty team.

The sea-going rune trains or small rune airships could no longer carry so many people at the same time.

Only large cruise ships can be used as transportation to travel around the cities.

Of course, the Wang family had already made corresponding preparations.

A fleet of as many as ten abyss-class warships became Ye Chuxiao's exclusive fleet.

When the flag painted with golden spirit roots fluttered high above the fleet, Ye Chuxiao's personal reputation also crossed the transformation from online to reality, reaching its peak.

Accompanying this were various speculations and conspiracy theories about imaginary spirit roots, which became increasingly noisy and turbulent.

Ye Chuxiao, as always, turned a deaf ear and a blind eye to these criticisms.

He just wants to create a unique and unparalleled spirit root; if heaven doesn't create such a spirit root, he will create it himself.

Top-grade spirit roots are not Ye Chuxiao's ultimate pursuit.

He wants to know, where is the limit of the so-called spirit root?

If the spirit roots nurtured by heaven and earth have a limit, do artificially created and imagined spirit roots have a limit?

In more than a month, Ye Chuxiao traveled over the vast sea and walked through fifty cities.

And these fifty cities are only distributed in the 'East Sea' of this world. For the entire vast world, there are still more places he has not reached.

However, Ye Chuxiao chose to stay in the fiftieth city and no longer move forward.

Because when he 'lit up' the spirit root in the fiftieth city, he did not feel the existence of this lit spirit root.

For the public, the artificial spirit root sculptures in the spirit root plaza, which are artificially created to facilitate concentrated deduction and contemplation, are effective.

But for Ye Chuxiao, it is not under his control and is ineffective.

The mighty team temporarily stayed in this city called 'Tianhai City'.

The influx of a large population instantly filled this small city, whose daily population was only thirty to fifty thousand.

Moreover, cultivators from all over the world who came to 'pilgrimage' were still pouring in.

At this time, although some people were wondering why Ye Chuxiao did not continue to move forward, they did not care too much.

After all, after crossing fifty cities in more than a month, anyone would feel tired.

Although Ye Chuxiao is a cultivator, his cultivation is not high after all. It is normal to feel厌倦、疲惫 (yanjuan, pibei - weary and exhausted).

"The spirit root sculpture in Dinghai City has advanced to the middle-top grade, and the spirit root sculptures in other cities are mostly in the middle and lower grades."

"Even now, as long as all the information is collected, it is enough for me to create a top-grade imaginary spirit root for myself." Ye Chuxiao was not in a hurry to reap the rewards.

Top-grade spirit roots are certainly extremely rare and precious.

But it is still far from worthy of Ye Chuxiao's magnificent act, which can even be said to have changed the course of world history.

"Forty-nine, perhaps that is my limit number."

"Or perhaps, it is the common limit of all people who may reach this step."

"However, I cannot make this matter public."

"I seem to have great momentum now, but in reality, I have been coerced by the 'general trend'. Once I lose my usefulness, I am likely to be purged by the remnants of the old era. Even the cultivators who are protecting me now will fuel the flames behind my back because they are worried that I have a hidden agenda." Ye Chuxiao never underestimated the darkness of the human heart.

The cultivators in this world are certainly 'chuunibyou' (suffering from adolescent delusions), but chuunibyou does not conflict with conspiracy and cruelty.

Moreover, the existence of Dao runes and transmigrators will make some cultivators less 'ill'.

Just like in a cold and rigid world like Daheng, were there not also characters like Tang Sudong and Yan Po?

"The act of lighting up and consecrating must continue, but it is no longer to create spirit roots for myself, but to buy time so that the spirit roots lit up in the early stage can all be promoted to the top grade, or even the top-top grade."

"If there are forty-nine top-top grade spirit root information gathered here, I will definitely be able to cross the heavenly lock and formulate an unprecedentedly powerful imaginary spirit root for myself."

Thinking of this, Ye Chuxiao began to deduce the entire subsequent process plan.

Obviously, it is no longer feasible to travel almost one city a day.

He must slow down, so that more cultivators will gather in the cities where the spirit roots were lit up in the early stage, and the forty-nine key spirit roots will progress faster.
