Chapter 77 - spirit roots

Guardian Snow didn't spoke with Mu Wu Shang any further and kept his eyes closed trying to suppress the Ghost Emperor, after a few minutes he opened his eyes " kid don't you worry nothing happened to me and it's not your fault. Now bring that drop of blood close to me " spoke Guardian Snow.

Mu WuShang brought Crimson Red Blood with golden runes on it, closer towards the big head of Guardian Snow while he examined it. " I didn't do anything intentionally it broke up when I dropped my blood on it, so it's not my fault and now I'll take leave " spoke Mu WuShang hurriedly and tried to escape from the cave. He doesn't know how important that Red Jade was to Guardian Snow and he broke it and he has no way to fix it so the only thing he could do is escape from there.

Seeing Mu WuShang trying to slip away from the cave, Guardian Snow made a hand gesture and a suction force emerged from his hands and dragged Mu WuShang back " kid don't worry about the broken jade it's not your fault and it is good that finally someone passed the test in thousand years, Now all you have to do is to inherit my Master's legacy " spoke Guardian Snow.

" hehehe so I passed the test huh, why didn't you just tell me that sooner. I worried for nothing " spoke Mu WuShang with perplexity behavior.

" hmm stop those silly actions and concentrate on this matter " saying Guardian Snow swiftly turned into a old aged man with long white beard.

Now let's continue the process and bite this leather skin it'll help you to endure your pain saying that he handed Mu WuShang a piece of leather skin and after that he brought his long snowy white finger with long nails near the chest of Mu WuShang and asked " You know spirit roots origin from "

" What are spirit roots actually " replied Mu WuShang, all these years he knows that it is a world of cultivators, magical beasts and demon beasts but he knew nothing about cultivation.

"you are at pinnacle of Qi Acc.u.mulation Stage and still don't know about basic knowledge " asked Guardian Snow with bewildered expression.

"yes, I don't know a thing, when my mother helped me awaken my dantian I reached pinnacle of Qi Acc.u.mulation stage and my father sealed my dantian to purify my Qi which is acc.u.mulated in dantian " answered Mu WuShang innocently.

" Mu Chen you lazy bum, I shouldn't have kicked you out of island soon. You didn't taught him the basic knowledge of this world how did you expect your son to survive in this dangerous world " cursed Guardian Snow in his mind by slapping his own forehead shaking his head.

" Kid listen to me very carefully and remember it. This world we are leaving in it has been ruled by supreme cultivators and to set foot on the path of cultivation human beings have two paths one is to open their spirit roots and second one is to awaken Martial Soul. " spoke Guardian Snow and tried to continue but stopped by Mu WuShang's question

" What if a person has both of them ? " asked Mu WuShang.

To that Guardian Snow smacked WuShang's head and said " don't interrupt while I was talking and ask questions only after explaining "

" hmm where I was, ah right To open one's spirit root it has to be below the age of fifteen and it is divided into Elementary , Intermediate , King , Emperor , Saint, Heaven and lastly Divine spirit roots so these spirit roots are either influenced by your cultivation method and your bloodline. The most powerful bloodline will grant your more quality spirit roots and the best cultivation methods will enhance the development of your spirit roots."

" In this world many miracles could happen as for your question if you have both spirit roots and martial soul then let me ask you a question ,think of a empty well which is being filled with only one source of supply and a well which is being filled with two source of supply, which one do you think will fill faster " asked Guardian Snow.

"obviously one with two sources will fill the well faster " replied Mu WuShang.

" Same thing happens with people who has both spirit roots and martial souls and as for martial souls they can be awakened only at the age of fifteen whether you have spirit roots or not at the martial pavilion " said Guardian Snow.

"What is a Martial pavilion? " asked Mu WuShang.

"you'll know when you leave this island and venture into outside world" replied Guardian Snow.

" Now bite the leather skin don't scream it'll be over before you know it " spoke Guardian Snow like a doctor who is giving an injection to a child.

Guardian Snow made a deep cut with his finger on Mu WuShang's chest right next to heart , Mu WuShang Shang wanted to yell but Guardian Snow's left hand is placed on WuShang's shoulder which is suppressing all his actions he couldn't even move an inch.

Guardian Snow carefully guided the Crimson Red Blood with golden runes into the deep cut.

As soon as the blood drop entered Mu WuShang's body his body seemed to be on fire and started to hold his chest and rolling to and from on the ground, the leather skin has dropped from his mouth and he let out an miserable scream.....

ARRRRRGHHHHHH

" Ahhhhh....Ahhhh.. kill me kill me now I can't bear this pain it's slashing my skin ripping my innards please I beg you Guardian Snow Kill me " Mu WuShang started to let out pitiful screams but GuardianSnow ignored all of them and uttered only single sentence " Only through pain and suffering you'll achieve glory be a man stop making such sounds endure them remember only these sufferings can make you stronger"

listening to those words Mu WuShang calmed himself and started to recite Blood Origin Sutra and slowly the energy in that Crimson Red Blood with golden runes started to resolve and like a seed something is started to form within Mu WuShang's body they are wriggling like worms and snakes in his body reaching every corner of his body, this process continued whole night and still didn't stop.
