grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of rebellious cultivators also crossed Celestial City, directly advancing on the core area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhengfeng gathered his kin, stood within the array, and asked the leading general of the Five Elders Association in a sad yet angry tone why they did this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The leader asked in return, why they invaded the sea domain three years ago, set up a killing array, and harmed countless islanders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, why did they unreasonably and violently attack just yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides knew these were mere excuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the battle commenced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jizhou just shared Guagua’s vision from afar, waiting calmly for the battle to end, to send Guagua to the Liu family’s secret chamber to search for array legacies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Liu family being overwhelmed, their final great array shattered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>just as Li Jizhou was about to order Guagua,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An anomaly suddenly occurred,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the mountains shook and the ground trembled, even the barren mountain under Li Jizhou inexplicably quivered, feeling as if all the spiritual qi the surrounding was suddenly drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Li Jizhou sensed an immense spiritual pressure surging from the Liu family’s lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The power of heaven and earth!\" Li Jizhou’s heart skipped a beat, without any hesitation, he fled hurriedly north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, he ordered Guagua to retreat immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What on earth was that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does the Liu family still have such a trump card?\" It wasn’t until he almost entered the spirit-barren land that Li Jizhou stopped in the hidden shrubbery, waiting for Guagua while recalling yesterday’s terrifying scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of power, I’m afraid it rivals the Middle Stage of Core Formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calming his mind, Li Jizhou felt a bit relieved,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that strike had landed on him, it would have been a near-death experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what puzzled him a bit was that through his divine soul connection with Guagua, it seemed that the power from yesterday didn’t last long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final result was also unknown to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the original plan in his mind was already abandoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After waiting a while longer, Guagua finally returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jizhou let it quickly regain its state, and after reaching peak condition, he planned to cross the spirit-barren land again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, both man and frog were in peak condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were just about to traverse the spirit-barren land, return to Qi Kingdom, and then pass through the Purple Vine Mountain Range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, several auras rushed toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were less than a hundred people, three large flying ships, the highest among them were only three Fake Pills, a dozen at Foundation Establishment, and the rest were all in Qi Cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, their states felt very poor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jizhou raised an eyebrow slightly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some of the auras felt familiar, just like the ones who had ambushed him twenty-one years ago in the spirit-barren land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was another familiar aura, it was the person who controlled the array hub on the main island of the Five Elders Association three years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did the Liu family escape?\" Li Jizhou could only sigh at the unpredictability of the world, putting Guagua away and merging his magical power with an old tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the three flying ships of the Liu family also landed at the edge of the spirit-barren land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ancestor, Uncle Eight, they died so tragically!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ancestor, you must avenge my parents!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon landing, cries resounded everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Silence!\" Liu Zhengfeng sternly reprimanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quickly recover and enter the spirit-barren land as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Liu family dared not speak further and acted according to orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhengfeng looked back fiercely in the direction of the Celestial Spirit Sect, but finally turned his head resolutely, without looking again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then walked to a woman in a black cloak, unconscious, and carefully examined her injuries, his frown deepening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother, how is Hong Ling?\" Liu Yuxiu asked while clutching his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She forcibly connected across stages to the heavens and earth, suffered severe backlash, and fears she won’t make it,\" Liu Zhengfeng sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The despicable Five Elders Association, my Liu family shall not live under the same sky with you!\" Liu Yuxiu cursed angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhengfeng glared at him and said solemnly, \"Is this still not enough? I was wrong this time, I shouldn’t have coveted the Celestial Spirit Sect’s spirit vein, I overestimated our Liu family’s strength, we should have returned to the clan lands in Qi Kingdom sooner!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother, then this grudge?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha~ where is there so much grudge? It’s merely the victor and the vanquished, losing is losing, you have to accept it!\" Liu Zhengfeng shook his head with a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry and reco... Watch out!\" Liu Zhengfeng was about to urge Liu Yuxiu to quickly recover, when his expression suddenly changed, and a surge of magical power erupted from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the next moment, his whole body froze, staring straight at the elder floating in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure emanating from him was indeed a True Core Master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, everyone in the Liu family looked up to the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Yuxiu’s expression changed drastically, quickly transmitting sound to Liu Zhengfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Han!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhengfeng saw that the other party did not act directly and felt a little relieved upon hearing Liu Yuxiu’s transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu family from Qi Kingdom, Liu Zhengfeng, greets the senior. May I ask what brings you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Han Guangsheng, the Island Lord of the main island of the Five Elders Association, here to make a trade with you,\" Li Jizhou replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have long heard of the senior’s great name, happy to meet you. May I ask what trade the senior wants to make?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want your Liu family’s array legacy; in return, I will spare the lives of your ninety-three clansmen here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhengfeng’s face twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really didn’t expect the other party to be so straightforward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, at this point, what could he do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention his poor condition, even in peak form, facing a well-known Early Stage of Core Formation, he would have no chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jizhou nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he chose this method was because he had just figured out Liu Zhengfeng’s nature and weak spot from their conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparing the poison and saving Guagua’s effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhengfeng understood the situation, made no additional conditions or delays, he took out three jade slips from his storage bag, holding them above his head with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jizhou wrapped them with magical power, took them near, and scanned with his divine sense, finding no anomalies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only Tier Three?\" He then narrowed his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhengfeng respectfully bowed, \"I dare not deceive the senior, it is indeed just Tier Three.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jizhou pondered briefly, then stored the jade slips and retreated far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must learn to be content, Tier Three was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After flying a certain distance to the west, Li Jizhou turned north, directly plunging into the vast spirit-barren land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speeding all the way, after seven months, he finally crossed the spirit-barren land, two months faster than twenty-one years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, he had just reached the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, and now, he surmounted to a stable Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After twenty-one years, he was returning to his homeland again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The exit of the spirit-barren land was right in the center of Qi Kingdom, now still replicating Master Han’s Early Stage of True Core magical power, only altering his appearance to an authoritative middle-aged man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this magical power, he was almost unopposed within the borders of Qi Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While passing by his place of birth,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain of Inverted Mountain was gone, and the lake had disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Li Jizhou had speculated, the once flourishing Tier Four spirit vein land now had such thin spiritual qi, it paled even compared to the Yang family’s Qingshui River.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spirit vein’s corpse nourishment indeed destroyed the foundational spirit vein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within Inverted Mountain, however, there were still many loose cultivators seeking treasures everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not lingering, Li Jizhou turned and went east.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to see whether the herbs he personally planted on the Xiaogang Peak back then were still there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing by Qingshui River’s Yang family on the way, discovering the Yang family still existed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Yuyan’s Foundation Establishment aura was also stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed she successfully endured the Blood Fiend Stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, with a brief sensing, he found that Qingshui River’s spirit vein had also declined, prolonged, it might struggle to sustain Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>",1430,"2026-05-30T10:26:27.090Z","2026-06-01T04:31:00.419Z",1,"novelbin.me","704d4a6f70292954166f87a5646a5dc25ac73f1719fa4531da5b846c3859d300","i-accumulate-spirit-roots-for-my-next-life-chapter-176","i-accumulate-spirit-roots-for-my-next-life-chapter-174",391,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-accumulate-spirit-roots-for-my-next-life-cover.jpg"]
