Chapter 39: Awakening the Spirit (Part 2)

  That fiery spiritual energy instantly filled Yifeng's meridians and dantian, causing him to feel a wave of suffocation, his head growing increasingly dizzy.

  At this moment, Zhan Tian timely reminded Yi Feng: "Kid, don't lose your mind, this old man is not kind. I can only help you shake your soul to prevent you from falling into a coma, as for the physical pain, you have to bear it yourself."

  Yi Feng hastily concentrated his mind, tightly clenched his teeth, and stopped paying attention to the strange sensations in his body. Meanwhile, Zhan Tian was constantly roaring deep within Yi Feng's soul, keeping him awake.

  "Will this old man kill me?" Yi Feng endured the intense pain while communicating with Zhan Tian.

  "Don't worry, this old man won't do anything to you as long as he doesn't realize you're a cultivator of the Divine Path. After all, you are an invaluable junior disciple to him; how could he possibly cut off his own wings?" Zhan Tian said with certainty.

  Ying Chengzi's spiritual energy transmission accelerated, and Yi Feng's tendons began to swell and tear, the pain becoming even more intense.

  "This kid's willpower is indeed astonishing, if it were an ordinary disciple in the fusion period, they would probably have fainted already. Let me try a bit harder, if it still doesn't work, I'll directly invade his soul with my spiritual consciousness." Ying Chengzi was also calculating in his heart. Originally, he thought that Yi Feng would definitely faint from the intense pain, and then when his consciousness was murky, he could easily confuse his soul, but reality wasn't like that.

  The process of awakening is actually very simple, it just needs the caster to use their own profound spiritual power to stimulate the spiritual root of the recipient. If the caster's skills are excellent and their technique is proficient, they can complete it in just a few breaths.

  However, Ying Chengzi had another plan in mind and did not touch Yi Feng's spiritual root for a long time. There was also the reason why Yi Feng's spiritual root was different from others, but Ying Chengzi's calculation was the most important.

  Generally, the spiritual root of a cultivator exists only within their body. However, Yi Feng's spiritual root attribute was severed and discarded from his entire body at the beginning of his foundation-building stage in order to better cultivate the Nine Spirits Mysterious Heaven God Chapter. At this time, Xing Chengzi was also puzzled - he couldn't find any spiritual root in his strange and eccentric disciple's body, but instead discovered that Yi Feng's dantian had a thousand-year-old Geng Jin bamboo sprout exerting the function of a spiritual root.

  This discovery also made Ying Chengzi puzzled in his heart, and he secretly remembered it. Then, he began to attack Yi Feng's soul with his spiritual consciousness. However, Ying Chengzi did not dare to use his full strength. If he used his full strength, Yi Feng would probably die directly with his soul flying away.

  Ying Chengzi only used a very small amount of soul power to shock Yi Feng's sea of consciousness, and the speed was very fast and very stealthy. If Yi Feng didn't guard against it, he would definitely be directly stunned; even if Yi Feng defended himself, he still couldn't escape unscathed.

  However, Xing Chengzi did not know that there was a special existence like Zhan Tian. His first attack, although it made Yi Feng spit out a mouthful of blood, did not make Yi Feng faint.

  Ying Chengzi was shocked in his heart, and he never thought that the soul of his disciple's grandson would be so stable. After a slight hesitation, he increased his soul power again, shaking Yi Feng's sea of consciousness once more.

  Yi Feng silently cursed Ying Chengzi for being unscrupulous, but he could only grit his teeth and persevere. The blood that Yi Feng had spat out earlier was actually a result of him intentionally doing so under the guidance of Zhan Tian, as he couldn't appear too abnormal. Under Ying Chengzi's spiritual attack, not losing consciousness could be explained by his soul being stable, but if he didn't suffer any harm at all, it would be difficult to understand.

  The second spiritual attack ended just as quickly, and Yi Feng spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood while pretending to be on the verge of collapse. Meanwhile, Ying Chengzi's two spiritual attacks were actually both quietly resolved by Zhan Tian.
