Chapter 2243 The Limit! Black Innate Spiritual Root!
A humans desire was insatiable. This was a fact.
Just like a beggar, perhaps, his biggest wish was to just have a good meal and not to starve. However, when he was full and not starving, he would long for a better life...
Duan Ling Tian was the same. In the past, all he wanted was to improve his Innate Spiritual Root to a violet one with the help of the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic. However, after he had gained a violet Innate Spiritual Root, he began to long for a dark violet Innate Spiritual Root which was also supposedly the highest grade of Innate Spiritual Roots.
Initially, Duan Ling Tian thought this was the limit of the Innate Spiritual Roots, but when he found out that it was not through experimenting, and that it was likely there was a higher grade of Innate Spiritual Roots, he began to long for it as well.
After Duan Ling Tian possessed a dark violet Innate Spiritual Root, he discovered he could still improve it with the Elementary Devouring Tactic even though the progress was extremely slow.
I would like to see whats the next grade of Innate Spiritual Root that comes after a dark violet Innate Spiritual Root! Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, filled with curiosity, as he continued to bring the three girls with him as he swept through the Cloud Continent.
After some time, almost all the Devil Clans that had settled down on Cloud Continent had been slain by Duan Ling Tian. The only ones who survived were those who managed to hide from him.
Throughout the entire time, Duan Ling Tian continued to use the Divine Ability, the Elementary Devouring Tactic, to improve his Innate Spiritual Root. However, it seemed like there was an impossibly wide gap between the dark violet Innate Spiritual Root and the next grade of Innate Spiritual Root.
Even after Duan Ling Tian had devoured the Innate Spiritual Roots of almost all the powerhouses from the Devil Clans on Cloud Continent, it did not seem like he was any closer to improving his Innate Spiritual Root to the next grade.
In the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land, a Mortal Continent such as Cloud Continent is indeed too small... Not only that, but the Devils on Cloud Continent were mostly weaklings from the Land of Exile. Although there were a great number of them, their innate talent was quite poor. The quality of their Innate Spiritual Roots was low as well. Duan Ling Tian was deeply aware of the gap between his Innate Spiritual Root and the next grade of Innate Spiritual Root. The gap felt almost unbridgeable!
It seems like my parents, Little Feier, and the others are not in Cloud Continent... As he swept through Cloud Continent, he did not forget to search for his family and friends. However, his effort was futile. He had to accept the fact that his family and friends did not come to the Cloud Continent. His expression was taut and worries could be seen in his eyes.
If they did not return to Cloud Continent, where did they go? Moreover, why did they not return to Cloud Continent? Did something happen to them?
If I had known this would happen, I would have prepared Soul Pearls for my parents, Little Feier, and the others. At least, I would know if theyre safe. The moment Duan Ling Tian thought of this, a sense of remorse overcame him. He felt regretful he did not create Soul Pearls for his family and friends. Otherwise, he would not be in this position.
Brother Tian, dont worry so much Brother Tian. Keer consoled Duan Ling Tian in a timely manner when she saw through his worries. Since Uncle Feng and Aunt Rou managed to flee under the nose of the Human-Devil clan, it means theyre strong enough to protect themselves. Since theyre not on Cloud Continent, they must have found another place to hide in. There are another two Mortal Continents after all. Maybe they didnt return to Cloud Continent because they didnt want to implicate their old friends. Moreover, they managed to kill many vanguards from the Human-Devil clan as well. The Human-Devils must have hated them and might possibly track them to Cloud Continent. Its no secret that Cloud Continent is Uncle Fengs hometown.
Keer words were logical, and it managed to ease a little of Duan Ling Tians worries.
Thank you, Keer, Duan Ling Tian said softly as he looked at Keers gentle expression. At this moment, he felt like the happiest man in the world. What else could a husband wish for with a wife like this?
Brother Tian, is there a need for thank you between us? Keer looked at Duan Ling Tian with gentle eyes as though all she could see was Duan Ling Tian.
Gan Ru Yan who was standing at the side had a complicated expression on her face as she watched the scene unfolding before her.
As for Duan Si Ling, she had, at some point, fallen soundly asleep in Duan Ling Tians arms.
Let us go to the other two Mortal Continents to have a look. After saying this to Keer and Gan Ru Yan, Duan Ling Tian hugged his daughter and led them away from the Cloud Continent at an extremely swift speed.
There were three Mortal Continents in the Lower Province of the Dao Martial Saint Land. Cloud Continent was one of them.
It did not take long for Duan Ling Tian to arrive at one of the Mortal Continents. Similarly, he began to slay and devour the Innate Spiritual Roots of all the Devils that he encountered while he searched for his friends and family.
During this time, his Innate Spiritual Root continued to improve.
A span of two months passed by in a blink of an eye.
Currently, the Devil Clans in this Mortal Continent had also been slain by him.
I-its just like a bottomless pit! At this time, Duan Ling Tian discovered that his Innate Spiritual Root was still dark violet. Although the color was getting even darker than before, it seemed as though it was nowhere close to improving to the next grade.
If I didnt devour the group of Devils Innate Spiritual Roots on this Mortal Continent and use them to improve Si Ling and Gan Ru Yans Innate Spiritual Roots, their Innate Spiritual Roots might have already turned dark violet! Duan Ling Tian thought to himself.
When we go to the final Mortal Continent, Ill help them improve their Innate Spiritual Roots. When Duan Ling Tian realized it was almost impossible for him to improve his Innate Spiritual Root by devouring the Devils Innate Spiritual Roots, he decided to improve the Innate Spiritual Roots of his daughter, Duan Si Ling, and Keers twin sister, Gan Ru Yan.
Its unfortunate that father, mother, Little Feier and the others are not here. Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, disappointed that he could not find his family and friends here. However, since he had been prepared for this, he did not feel too upset.
Whoosh!
Duan Ling Tian brought the three girls with him and swiftly made his way to the final Mortal Continent. When they arrived at the final Mortal Continent, he continued slaying the Devil Clans while he searched for his family and friends.
This... When Duan Ling Tian was about to help his daughter to improve her Innate Spiritual Root, he was shocked to discover her Innate Spiritual Root was not in the rainbow spectrum. She possessed a black Innate Spiritual Root!
I cant believe it! Theres no progress at all... Moreover, when Duan Ling Tian tried to fuse the Innate Spiritual Roots he had devoured from the Devils with his daughters Innate Spiritual Root, he discovered there was no progress at all. This was like dropping a drop of water in the ocean, unable to set off waves at all.
In Duan Ling Tians case, after he absorbed the Devils Innate Spiritual Roots, he could still feel a very slight improvement in his dark violet Innate Spiritual Root. It was unlike his daughters Innate Spiritual Root that had no reaction at all.
Is it possible that the black Innate Spiritual Root is the highest grade of Innate Spiritual Roots? A thought suddenly appeared in his mind. As soon as he thought about it, he felt even more certain about it. At this time, an abrupt thought appeared in Duan Ling Tians mind.
As it turned out, the highest grade of Innate Spiritual Roots was black Innate Spiritual Roots!
If black is really the highest grade then everything makes sense. As long as I keep improving my dark violet Innate Spiritual Root, in the end, it would gradually darken until it turns black. Duan Si Lings black Innate Spiritual Root had given her father, Duan Ling Tian, a revelation.
Keer... Duan Ling Tian said through Voice Transmission. Is Si Lings cultivation speed very fast? Is it to the point where its ridiculous and mind-blowing?
Yes.Although Keer did not toow why Duan Ung Tian would ask this question, she nodded. She replied through Voice Transmission, Since shes young, Si Ling has always shown a remarkable innate talent... However, I stopped her from cultivating because I dont want her to lead such a life. I didnt even tell my sister about Si Lings remarkable talent. Im afraid she would think its a waste of Si Lings talent and insist on letting her cultivate.
Keers thoughts were very simple. She just wanted her daughter to live happily and have a beautiful childhood memory. For things like her daughters remarkably high innate talent and her Innate Spiritual Root, she was not bothered at all and had no wish to find out more about it.
