Chapter 441: Manifestation of the Spiritual Root

After finishing reading the introduction to the 'Hand of Creation' in her mind, Hua Changxi felt both shocked and excited.

Before this, treating ailments of the spiritual roots, dantian, and sea of consciousness basically required corresponding pills to solve the problem; even acupuncture could only treat injuries on the spiritual roots and could never reach the deeper issues within the dantian and sea of consciousness.

Now that she had mastered this divine ability called the 'Hand of Creation,' it was equivalent to being able to perform 'surgery' directly within the spiritual roots, dantian, and sea of consciousness.

This new medical technique triggered Hua Changxi's instinctive, intense curiosity and desire to explore unknown skills, driving her to attempt casting the first layer of the divine ability: Manifestation.

As the divine ability began to activate, Hua Changxi's sensory tendrils immediately extended into an entirely new dimension.

It was a boundless realm transcending mortal understanding, existing between the real and the illusory, containing the initial possibilities of all things... the Domain of Origin?

Immediately afterward, her hands began to undergo a marvelous transformation.

Her original hands visibly dissolved before everyone's eyes.

They did not disappear but became 'transparent,' and when their transparency reached its peak, a pure spiritual light quietly emerged.

The light rapidly expanded and interwove, slowly manifesting a pair of crystal-clear, illusory hands.

They hovered where Hua Changxi's original hands had been, yet seemed to exist in another dimension, maintaining a subtle connection with her physical body.

Looking at her 'hands,' Hua Changxi's heart pounded wildly—this was the Hand of Creation, existing between matter and illusion, capable of touching 'other spaces'!

The others present, witnessing Hua Changxi manifest the 'Hand of Creation,' were completely stunned.

Even Ye Lingxuan and Jiang Henian, inheritors of the Pill Saint Hall with astonishing knowledge of medicine and pill dao, had never heard of such a miraculous medical technique.

However, before they could express their shock and admiration, an even more astonishing scene unfolded.

Hua Changxi used her pair of illusory, crystal-clear hands to lightly touch Chang Wei's body.

Whenever Hua Changxi's hand landed, fine spiritual power particles, resembling glittering stardust, broke free from the constraints of the flesh and floated lightly above the body.

Under the horrified gaze of everyone, gradually, a clear, three-dimensional, brilliant, and transparent Spiritual Pivot Rainbow Bridge condensed and took shape in midair, every detail visible!

At the end of the rainbow bridge facing the head, rootlets as fine as hair were ingeniously woven into the form of a lotus bud waiting to bloom; at the other end, the rootlets resembled the vast and lush root system of an ancient tree.

"That is..."

Ye Lingxuan's pupils trembled; she had seen descriptions of spiritual roots in ancient texts.

The spiritual root resembles a Spiritual Pivot Rainbow Bridge erected between the sea of consciousness and the dantian, seamlessly connecting the source of spiritual power (the dantian) and the core of the soul (the sea of consciousness), with one end being the 'Root of Power' and the other the 'Flower of Thought.'

The Peak Master has manifested Chang Wei's spiritual root!!!

At this moment, the spiritual root was no longer a mysterious, ethereal nothingness within the body but had become a concrete object that could be touched, observed, and even treated or repaired.

Ye Lingxuan was shaken, and Hua Changxi likewise could not hide her excitement.

At this moment, she gained a direct and concrete perception of 'Manifestation'—projecting objects existing in other spaces into reality for observation and manipulation!

Although she could clearly see Chang Wei's spiritual root through the 'Eye of Truth,' the feeling of manifesting the spiritual root was vastly different.

Just as now, she could not only clearly see every crack on the spiritual root but also feel its faint, almost imperceptible pulse of life.

Furthermore, because the spiritual root was tangible, her sense of control was enhanced.

"This... this..."

Jiang Henian and the others nearby were already dumbfounded, inhaling sharply in unison.

"What... what kind of technique is this?!"

Jiang Henian's face was filled with disbelief; even as an inheritor of the Pill Saint Hall and a leader in medicine and pill dao, he had never seen such a miraculous, unimaginable technique!

"That is Chang Wei's spiritual root!"

"The Peak Master has manifested Chang Wei's spiritual root!"

Ye Lingxuan whispered in response, her gaze never leaving Chang Wei's spiritual root.

At this moment, they seemed to be endowed with a pair of 'Dharma Eyes' capable of piercing through falsehood, allowing them to directly peer into the most secret and core cultivation root within a cultivator's body.

"Oh my heavens! The Peak Master can actually manifest the spiritual root...?"

The disciples of Danyuan Peak outside the formation heard Ye Lingxuan's words and could not help but cry out in shock.

"It's too incredible! So this is what a spiritual root looks like!"

At this moment, everyone's gaze upon Hua Changxi was filled with awe and fervor.

"Look! Those black cracks!"

"Are those the injuries to the spiritual root? How can they be so severe!"

Snapping back from their shock, some disciples pointed at the spiderweb-like cracks on Chang Wei's spiritual root and began discussing excitedly.

Pang Shaoyu was also surprised beyond measure; he had always known Hua Changxi's medical skills were excellent, but he never expected them to be such supernatural craftsmanship.

His uncle had bet correctly; there was truly hope for him to tread the path of cultivation again!

Amidst this atmosphere of wonder and shock, a dazzling white light suddenly flared up on the Qihuang Token without any warning.

Unfortunately, everyone's attention was focused on Chang Wei's spiritual root, and no one noticed.

Those inside the treatment room did not notice, but outside Qihuang Hall No. 10, the various factions closely monitoring the situation inside immediately detected a sharp sword pattern quietly appearing on the stone pillar before the hall.

Recalling that stone pillars outside Qihuang Halls No. 1 through No. 9 all bore sword patterns, the various factions could basically confirm that Hua Changxi had unlocked the teaching content of Qihuang Hall No. 10.

Inside the treatment room, just as everyone's minds were surging with excitement, a sudden change occurred!

"Hum—"

A dull humming sound emanated from within Chang Wei's body, and immediately after, his body, which had long been in a deep coma, suddenly trembled violently!

At first, Hua Changxi was somewhat confused, until she saw a spot of scarlet appear on the inner side of Chang Wei's forearm; the scarlet quickly spread and diffused, turning into grotesque and terrifying blood trails.

Those blood trails seemed to possess life, growing and spreading crazily along the pathways of the meridians!

Hua Changxi's expression changed drastically; she instantly understood that Chang Wei's body, which was not particularly strong, could not withstand the impact of the Manifestation divine ability, causing signs of rupture in his physical form!

"Not good!"

"Quick, help stabilize Chang Wei's physical body."

Hearing Hua Changxi's order, Ye Lingxuan and Jiang Henian did not hesitate for a moment; they immediately catalyzed the Wood Spiritual Qi within their bodies, formed seals with their hands, and sprinkled green, glowing vitality like life-giving rain upon Chang Wei's tottering body, attempting to stabilize his collapsing physical form.

Jia Lu also immediately picked up the prepared vitality medicinal powder and evenly scattered it over Chang Wei's body.

The hearts of the onlookers outside the formation had risen to their throats; only when they saw that, thanks to the efforts of Ye Lingxuan and the other two, Chang Wei's body had ceased crumbling and his blood wounds were rapidly healing did they all breathe a sigh of relief in unison.

Hua Changxi, knowing Chang Wei's body could not withstand the manifestation of the spiritual root, withdrew her 'Creation Hand' divine ability at the fastest possible speed.

At the same time, a new line of text quietly appeared in her vision: [Creation Hand (Manifestation): 1/1]
