Eternal Life as False Emperor-Chapter 166 - 134: Spirit Root Testing

The transparent rune drifted slowly and eventually turned into a green wind shape in the upper half.

While the lower half turned into a light blue water shape again.

Dual Spirit Roots!

Wind and Water Dual Spirit Roots!

Once again, an Anomalous Spirit Root!

The two of them, Dongyun Jie and Dongyun Yu, not only possess Spirit Roots, but they are exactly the same, Wind and Water Dual Spirit Roots!

This is extremely important both for them and for Zheng Yi.

With Spirit Roots, one can cultivate.

Correspondingly, their lifespan will greatly increase.

The time they can accompany each other will also grow longer and longer.

And Zheng Yi was extremely excited.

A Wind Attribute Anomalous Spirit Root?

Doesn't that mean... he also has the chance to obtain a Wind Attribute Anomalous Spirit Root!

Besides the Five Elements Attribute, as long as he finds enough girls with Anomalous Spirit Roots, he can correspondingly obtain an Anomalous Spirit Root!

This is extremely important to him.

"Hahaha, Yu'er, you did well too, just like your sister!"

Zheng Yi patted Yu'er's shoulder with great joy.

Although Yu'er did not know why Zheng Yi was so happy, seeing Your Majesty happy, she was happy too, she said, "Your Majesty, am I and sister this?"

"You both have Spirit Roots, which means you can cultivate Immortal!"

"Cultivate Immortal?"

"Really?"

The two girls certainly knew what cultivating immortal means, and they immediately became even happier, holding hands and jumping up.

The five little princesses tilted their heads, puzzled at what the two older sisters were doing.

What are they doing?

Why are they so happy?

Why is Father so happy?

"Alright."

Zheng Yi comforted the two girls, "Don't be too happy just yet, although you have Anomalous Spirit Roots, I don't have the corresponding cultivation techniques."

"The Vitality Purple Mist Technique of Taiyii Dao is not suitable for you... and it also needs Zhao Xizheng's approval."

"So, you should first cultivate the Eternal Spring Skill with Consort Yu, it is a health cultivation technique of Taiyii Dao, laying a good foundation for future cultivation, understood?"

"Understood!"

"We listen to Your Majesty."

"Good."

Zheng Yi laughed as well, "Alright Yuheng, next test the princesses."

"I am really hoping they also possess Spirit Roots."

Zhuang Yuheng said, "Your Majesty, the fact that the Dongyun sisters both have Spirit Roots is already a blessing."

"However, the princesses are your flesh and blood, dragon child and dragon grandchildren, favored by heaven, surely they will also have Spirit Roots... right."

Zhuang Yuheng felt a bit embarrassed; their Taiyii Daoist disciples numbered in the tens of thousands.

But among those with Spirit Roots, besides Zhao Xizheng, there was only she and another senior brother.

That senior brother was taken as a disciple by the master twenty years ago, a direct disciple.

And she, also due to Zheng Yi's involvement, was fortuitously taken as an apprentice, but as a registered kind.

She could only explore cultivation based on the Vitality Purple Mist Technique and some notes given by Zhao Xizheng.

To detect two Spirit Root holders in one go today, and even Wind Attribute Anomalous Spirit Roots, was unbelievably lucky.

If Zhao Xizheng were to find out, he might well break through and rush over to take disciples.

Under Zheng Yi's command, Zheng Yuyao stood in front of Zhuang Yuheng.

She made a hand sign again, pointing at the spirit testing talisman in front of her.

Inadvertently, the spirit testing talisman floated freely, becoming a wave of heat that enveloped Zheng Yuyao.

Under the gaze of expectant eyes, a transparent rune slowly appeared.

"Hahaha, there is a Spirit Root!"

"Yao'er has a Spirit Root!"

Zheng Yi was overjoyed, even Zhuang Yuheng's expression was a bit odd, "Another Spirited Root? How is this possible!"

"Could it be that this spirit testing talisman is broken?"

While they hesitated, the transparent rune slowly transformed.

The upper half turned earthy yellow and turned into small gray earth, drifting away with the wind.

While the lower half turned grayish-green, like a budding sprout.

"Earth and Wood Dual Spirit Roots!"

Zhuang Yuheng hesitated, "Dual-attribute Top-grade Spirit Root, Your Majesty, Princess Yaoshi's roots are also top-grade…"

"Yao'er did well, Father is very happy!"

Zheng Yi hugged Zheng Yuyao, fondly tapping her nose.

"Father is happy, Yao'er is happy too."

Though Zheng Yuyao didn't understand why her father was happy, she was very happy.

After playing for a while, Zheng Yi said, "Continue, Xia'er, now it's your turn."

"Okay, Father."

Zheng Yuxia stepped forward, nervously looking at Zhuang Yuheng.

She somewhat understood, it seemed like Lady Zhuang was testing them for something.

If successful, they would win their father's reward.

This was fantastic!

Zhuang Yuheng took a deep breath, made another hand sign, and activated the spirit testing talisman again.

The spirit testing talisman naturally floated, descending upon Zheng Yuxia.

Under Zheng Yi's expectant gaze, Zheng Yuxia had no reaction at all.

Even after over ten breaths, there was still no reaction.

Did she... fail?

Or does the Second Princess lack Spirit Roots?

Zheng Yi shook his head secretly but still picked up Zheng Yuxia.

"Xia'er is very well-behaved, will you stay obediently in the palace from now on?"

Although Zheng Yuxia did not understand, she saw that Zheng Yi was unhappy, but still, she held his head and said, "Don't worry, Father, Xia'er will be good~"

Zhuang Yuheng let out a breath of relief.

The fact that Dongyun Jie and Dongyun Yu have Spirit Roots was within her expectations.

Princess Zheng Yuyao having Spirit Roots was unexpected.

But if Second Princess Zheng Yuxia also had Spirit Roots, either the spirit testing talisman had an issue or it was she who had the problem.

Zheng Yi continued, "Continue, Huan'er, now it's your turn."

"Watch me, Father, I am definitely the best!"

Zheng Yuhuan laughed, raising her chin and stood before Zhuang Yuheng.

"Come on, Lady Zhuang, Huan'er is ready."

"The Third Princess is so well-behaved~"

Zhuang Yuheng patted Zheng Yuhuan's head with a smile, then cast the spell again.

Soon, the spirit testing talisman turned into a flame, descending upon Zheng Yuhuan's head.

Zheng Yuhuan touched her head, finding nothing, then looked at her body, muttering, "What, where did that flame go?"

"Ah! Little Sister Huan, look! It's right in front of you!"

Zheng Yuyao suddenly exclaimed, and the others quickly looked over.

In front of Zheng Yuhuan, a seemingly transparent talisman was floating.

Spirit Root!

Zheng Yuhuan also has a Spirit Root.

"Hiss..."

Zhuang Yuheng finally took a deep breath.

Another Spirit Root!

Not counting the Dongyun Jie and Dongyun Yu sisters.

Of the five princesses under Your Majesty, three have been tested, and two have Spirit Roots!

The transparent talisman moved again, with the topmost layer turning into a flame and dissipating.

The middle layer turned golden yellow, like metal.

The bottom layer turned to gray soil, scattering with the wind.

"Fire, Gold, and Earth Three Attributes, Mid-grade Spirit Root!"

Zhuang Yuheng blurted out, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, Third Princess also has a Spirit Root!"

"Not bad, not bad, Huan'er is also quite good!"

Zheng Yi laughed heartily and patted Zheng Yuhuan's little head.

Zheng Yuhuan was very proud indeed.

Sister Jie and Sister Yu, as well as Sister Yuyao, only had two colors, while she had three, which was one more than them.

Doesn't that mean she's better than them?

Thinking of this, she became even more pleased.

She would go back and tell her mother, who would surely reward her, haha...

"Xuan'er, it's your turn."

Zheng Yi said in a deep voice.

To be honest, out of his ten daughters, the one he valued the most was Zheng Yuxuan.

The reason was simple.

Yuxuan was his daughter with Xu Qingluan, and the biological granddaughter of Grand General Xu Mujun.

Especially when she was born, there were strange celestial phenomena!

The Big Dipper shone brightly across the night sky, which even obscured the moonlight behind the clouds, lighting up the sky.

In the room, azure clouds roiled, resembling a phoenix, with a hidden phoenix cry.

These celestial signs were not rumors but things Zheng Yi saw with his own eyes!

Born under heavenly signs, how could she be an ordinary mortal?

"Yes, Father."

Zheng Yuxuan stepped forward respectfully, "May I trouble Lady Zhuang."

Although she was young, under her mother's guidance, she was more mature than her other sisters.

Moreover, her spirit was resilient, and she began practicing martial arts with Xu Qingluan from a young age, achieving minor mastery of the Hundred Battle Blood Slaughter Saber.

"Princess Tianxuan is indeed obedient."

Zhuang Yuheng smiled and then pinched her fingers together, causing a Spirit Testing Talisman to float onto Zheng Yuxuan.

The flames scattered, and the heat wave gradually dissipated.

After a few moments, there was no reaction in front of Zheng Yuxuan.

"No reaction? How could that be!"

Zheng Yi was also a bit surprised. There were celestial phenomena at Xuan'er's birth, so how could she not have a Spirit Root?

Zheng Yuxuan, not knowing what a Spirit Root was, comforted, "Father, Xuan'er is fine, don't be upset."

Zhuang Yuheng also said, "Your Majesty, to have a Spirit Root is less than one in ten thousand. For Princess Yaoshi and Princess Langhuan to have Spirit Roots is already a great blessing."

Zheng Yi took a deep breath and said, "It seems I was overthinking it."

"Yang'er, it's your turn."

"Yes, Father."

Zheng Yuyang, the youngest among the five, was a bit timid and walked hesitantly to Zhuang Yuheng.

The Spirit Testing Talisman burned and fell on Zheng Yuyang, quickly dissipating.

After a few moments, there was no light appearing in front of her either.

No.

Zheng Yuyang also did not have a Spirit Root!

Zheng Yi let out a long breath, feeling fortunate that out of five, two had Spirit Roots.

It seemed that not every child born with Innate Spiritual Qi was destined to have a Spirit Root.

This was destiny.

From now on, the status of Princess Yaoshi and Princess Langhuan would undoubtedly be above the other princesses.

But Zheng Yi still felt uneasy, as he treated all his princesses with equal care and love.

Whether they had Spirit Roots to pursue cultivation or were mere mortals.

He wanted all ten daughters to live happily and safely.

"Oh, Your Majesty."

Zhuang Yuheng suddenly said, "There is also something called 'Hidden Spirit Root,' often requiring special experiences or methods to activate. Ordinary Spirit Testing Talismans cannot detect it."

"Perhaps the other princesses have Hidden Spirit Roots as well."

"Hidden Spirit Root?"

Zheng Yi shook his head, recognizing Yuheng Zhenren's words as consolation, and said, "Thank you, my beloved consort, for today. Let's have lunch here."

"Certainly!"

Yuheng Zhenren replied respectfully and quickly sent someone to notify the Imperial Kitchen to prepare food.

As for Zheng Yi, he played with the five little princesses.

It had been a long time since he played with his daughters, and amidst their joyful laughter, Zheng Yi felt much younger.

With the participation of Jie'er, Yu'er, and Yuheng Zhenren, Zheng Yi was quite blessed.

If it weren't for Jie'er and Yu'er's young age and lack of cultivation, Zheng Yi might have taken them in then and there.

After lunch, he instructed the palace maids to escort their young charges back to the palace, as Zheng Yi prepared to leave.

At that moment, Liu Cheng'en walked in quickly, looking a bit anxious.

"What's the matter?"

Zheng Yi frowned, aware that most of the Great Yu Thirteen States had rebelled in recent days.

Both the border Vassal Kings and Noble Clans, as well as the Daoist Sects occupying vast lands, were incited into rebellion.

No matter who rebelled today, he wasn't too surprised.

Liu Cheng'en came swiftly, respectfully saying, "Your Majesty, Grand General Xu Mujun requests an audience, and he is currently outside Yuheng Palace!"

"Hmm?"

Zheng Yi frowned and asked, "Why has Grand General Xu come to the Harem?"

"I-I don't know, Grand General Xu said he has important military information to report, and the guards didn't dare to stop him."

Liu Cheng'en continued, "However, after Grand General Xu arrived outside Yuheng Palace, he has been waiting without forcing his way in."

"Let's go out and see."

"Certainly!"

Upon leaving Yuheng Palace, they found Grand General Xu Mujun walking back and forth outside. As soon as he saw Zheng Yi, he quickly approached.

"Your Majesty! Please forgive my rudeness, but I have important military information to report."

"No problem, Xu Qing. What happened that made even you so anxious?"

"The new emperor of Wu Country, it's decided!"
