Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing gazed at the raging Thunder Domain before him, feeling the Wood Spirit Root within him throb more intensely, and couldn't help but draw a deep breath: "The time has come."

Only by awakening the Thunder Spirit Root could he improve his chances of surviving the tribulation.

Otherwise, the dangers faced by one with five spirit roots would absolutely exceed imagination.

"Tai Bai, Zhu Rong, Nü Tu, Gonggong, you four guard the four directions!"

"Xu Zixiao, Xu Qiansui, you two stand guard here!"

"Yes, Main Body/Master!"

Everyone heard the words and quickly sprang into action.

Tai Bai mobilized his mana and laid down a golden light barrier.

Zhu Rong ignited roaring flames, forming four walls of fire.

Nü Tu pressed both hands to the earth, drawing out earth qi that flowed like clouds and mist.

Gonggong drew upon the lingering water qi, diverting the thunder power approaching nearby.

Four barriers interlocked, protecting Xu Zhangqing at the center.

Xu Zixiao stood on the left, while Xu Qiansui guarded the right.

Don't look at how strong those two Spirit Plant Puppets are—their strength rivals that of an Inferior Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator.

However, the greatest danger here was actually those thunder powers, not monsters.

Xu Zhangqing chose a spot where thunder power was relatively sparse yet where he could clearly sense the location of the Thunder Source, and sat down just like that.

Then he drew a deep breath, closing his eyes.

At first, he only drew faint threads of lightning close to his body surface; that numb sensation spread along his meridians, and the Wood Spirit Root instantly throbbed, gently wrapping and absorbing the lightning threads.

After fully adapting to this pressure, Xu Zhangqing gradually increased the drawing force, and more lightning threads gathered, coiling around his body like silver snakes.

Everyone saw clearly: bolts of lightning roamed his body surface, sometimes assimilated by the Wood Spirit Root's green radiance, sometimes bursting forth with dazzling purple light.

The two powers intertwined and coiled, yet never caused the slightest injury.

As time passed, every so often, after adapting to this pressure, Xu Zhangqing would continue deeper, gradually drawing closer to the core of the Thunder Domain.

And with every zhang advanced, the thunder power grew wilder by a point; at the same time, the ancient aura from the deepest part of the Thunder Domain became increasingly clear.

That aura held no hostility, but carried an overbearing pressure, as if it were the master of this Thunder Domain, inspiring awe.

Tai Bai asked in a deep voice: "Just what is that thing in the depths?"

Nü Tu shook her head: "I've asked many Array Masters, but no one knows."

Instantly, everyone fell silent, and no one spoke again.

Such a process lasted a full four days.

On the fourth day, a violent energy fluctuation surged through the Thunder Domain.

The Wood Spirit Root within Xu Zhangqing's body throbbed wildly, its green radiance nearly bursting from his body surface, and even the Essence and Glory Dao Rhyme began to operate, as if undergoing a life-and-death transformation.

Immediately after, a muffled thunderclap resounded—not from the outside world, but originating from the spirit root.

The vitality of the Wood Spirit Root merged with the fury of thunder; under the catalysis of the Essence and Glory Dao Rhyme, a bolt of pitch-black lightning tinged with dark red suddenly shot from between Xu Zhangqing's eyebrows, circled once in the air, then retreated back into his body.

At this moment, he felt an additional power within his body.

This power was exceptionally violent and tyrannical.

The Thunder Spirit Root was born!

……

……

And, Xu Zhangqing was surprised to discover that, compared to an ordinary Thunder Spirit Root, his Thunder Spirit Root—having fused with the Wood Spirit Root's Essence and Glory Dao Rhyme—could both unleash the destructive power of thunder and contain a terrifying Destruction Qi.

At the moment the Thunder Spirit Root was born, the entire Thunder Domain fell silent for an instant; the originally violent thunder seemed to have found its own kind, no longer suppressing Xu Zhangqing, but instead exuding a sense of closeness.

He opened his eyes, and black-red lightning flashed in his pupils.

"Unexpected, there's actually an unexpected joy!"

"This Destruction Thunder Spirit Root not only lets me easily control thunder power, but also increases my resistance to thunder by a full seventy percent!"

"Ordinary thunder can no longer harm me, unless I encounter a tribulation lightning with targeted intent!"

Gonggong and the others stepped forward one after another: "Congratulations, Main Body!"

Now, Xu Zhangqing not only had perfected Five Elements, but had also given birth to a sixth spirit root.

He moved his mind, separating the newly born Thunder Spirit Root from within his body.

With a flash of black-red lightning, a youthful figure appeared before him.

About fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a short robe of black and red.

His features slightly resembled Xu Zhangqing's, his hair like ink, every strand standing on end.

Faint lightning flickered in his eyes, and Destruction Qi swirled around his entire body.

Xu Zhangqing's mouth corner twitched upward: "From now on, you are called Fenglong."

The youth bowed slightly: "Yes, Main Body!"

Xu Zhangqing said seriously: "In the future, I will send you to the Longhu Immortal Sect to study thunder techniques."

A Thunder Spirit Root, and moreover a mutated Destruction Thunder Spirit Root.

Having it by my side is somewhat of a waste.

Therefore, the best method is to send him to the Longhu Immortal Sect to learn true Thunder Techniques.

Zhu Rong frowned slightly: "We are merely Spirit Root Incarnations, and do not count as people."

Xu Zhangqing nodded lightly: "I have considered all problems clearly.

First use the Mirage Dragon Transformation from the Youlong Nine Transformations to change his aura, then use the Skinning Technique to reshape his flesh texture, and finally assist with Hidden Spirit Runes — this way he can disguise himself as a Human Cultivator."

In fact, he does not extravagantly hope for Fenglong to stay at the Longhu Immortal Sect forever.

As long as he learns the Inheritance there, even if he dies it will have been worth it.

After all, a Spirit Root Incarnation is inherently connected in mind and spirit to the main body; even if destroyed, it can rely on the Spirit Root origin to regrow within half a year.

Now that everyone is here, Xu Zhangqing acts decisively.

The Youlong Nine Transformations, Skinning Technique, and Spirit Rune Technique — all at Full Level — took only half an hour to completely finish the disguise.

The current Fenglong, looking at him he is no different from a normal youth, yet there are also differences.

His Spiritual Root is not an ordinary Thunder Spirit Root, but the rarer, seldom-seen Destruction Thunder Spirit Root.

As for how to send him to the Longhu Immortal Sect side, that is actually also very simple.

Find Dao Ge, Zhao Chengdao.

Although these years, the two sides have not met again.

But the relationship is still pretty good; occasionally they also send gifts.

Xu Zhangqing said with a smile: "As a Thunder Spirit Root, you are most affinity with Thunder Power; just right to go explore the depths of the Thunder Domain, and see what that thing actually is."

Fenglong responded with a sound: "Understood."

To prevent Surprise, Xu Zhangqing did not hand over anything to him.

Therefore, Fenglong is like a blank sheet of paper; he can only walk step by step inside.

Fortunately, the Thunder Spirit Root is innately compatible with the surrounding Thunder Power; the deeper he walks, the more his surrounding aura assimilates — the originally violent thunder not only does not attack him, but actively clears a path.

Xu Zhangqing and the others stood in place without moving, just patiently watching like this.

After all, through the sensing with Fenglong, they can grasp the situation ahead in real time.

With continuous deep entry, Fenglong's aura gradually merges into the Thunder Domain, even beginning to draw the surrounding Thunder Vortexes — those interwoven silver, purple, gold, and black four-colored thunderbolts, a portion of them actually transform into his protective power.

Gonggong exclaimed in admiration: "What strong compatibility — he has almost become a part of this Thunder Domain!"

After advancing another several li or so, Fenglong's figure finally stops, and not far ahead, that massive black shadow wrapped in countless thunderbolts finally reveals the tip of the iceberg!
