The sound clock was stunned.
"Mr. Jiang, Jiang Li... how did you do this?" Ming Zhong asked nervously, genuinely startled. At first, when he saw Tian Yin and Jiang Li suddenly appear in their world, he thought they were extraterrestrials with advanced space technology.
Who could have imagined that they would directly break free from the gravitational constraints that had plagued them for thousands of years, solely by relying on their physical bodies!
At least, he couldn't see any signs of them using technology.
"What's the big deal? I can do it too." Seeing Jiang Li being admired, feeling a little displeased, Tian Yin also wanted to demonstrate that he could break free from gravity as well.
Then it found out that it had no legs, it could only fly, not leap.
"Drink more hot water, and you can become as strong as me," Jiang Li said with a smile.
"Really?" Ming Zhong didn't realize Jiang Li was joking and was thinking of going back to issue an order for everyone to drink hot water.
"False," Jiang Li saw that the other person took his words seriously, and felt embarrassed to joke further, "This is the result of cultivation."
"Cultivation?" In Ming Zhong's impression, cultivation was a very ancient term, referring to a group of people standing under a waterfall or putting their hands in hot sand.
These people looked strong, but could be easily brought down by a single shot.
In a situation where even mecha cannons struggled against ferocious beasts, these people had already been consigned to the dust of history. Only visible in the light brain library.
Jiang Li spread his hands, gathering the spiritual energy around him into a blue light ball, and to make it clearer for Ming Zhong, he even deliberately absorbed spiritual energy from his seven orifices.
"Absorb spiritual energy and use it for oneself, this is cultivation," Jiang Li explained briefly, omitting the comprehension of the heavenly path and the completion of the mental state that Ming Zhong might not understand.
"Ferocious beast energy!" Ming Zhong exclaimed, "So, people can really absorb ferocious beast energy!"
"This is called spiritual energy," Yin Yang Tian Yin corrected.
So unpleasant.
Ming Zhong knew that ferocious beasts became stronger through some unknown energy, and scientists referred to this power as ferocious beast energy.
Scientists believed that this energy could strengthen ferocious beasts and should also be able to enhance human beings themselves, yet after numerous experiments, they still could not find a way to absorb it. However, they discovered that it could be a high-quality energy source for mechas.
"Spirit roots? Did you not find any spirit roots?" After hearing Ming Zhong's story, Yin Yang Tian Yin couldn't help but ask. Even though it was a magical tool, it knew that demonic beasts cultivated through bloodlines, and humans cultivated through spirit roots.
"What exactly are spirit roots?"
"Spirit roots cannot be found through experiments," Jiang Li shook his head lightly, took a step forward, and placed his hand on Ming Zhong's head to guide him in finding his spirit root, explaining, "To comprehend the mysteries of the heavens and the earth as an ordinary person, to introspect and perceive the spiritual light within oneself, and the external world, is to find the key to cultivation - the spirit root."
What Jiang Li was saying was the original method of finding spirit roots in the Nine Provinces. Now, of course, it was not necessary to go through the trouble. With just a piece of spirit root jade, the quality of a twelve-year-old child's spirit root could be tested.
"Is this the spirit root?" Ming Zhong's eyes widened, feeling an unprecedented change within his body. He felt a force reaching every part of his body, as if every cell had been eagerly awaiting for a long time to frantically absorb this force.
"Dual spirit roots? Quite talented," Jiang Li commented casually.
Ming Zhong's body felt light as he entered the first level of Qi cultivation, officially becoming a cultivator. He felt that he was at least twice as strong as before.
This was simply too terrifying; just by absorbing some spiritual energy, such earthshaking changes had occurred within himself. However, Ming Zhong still could not imagine that someone could break free from gravitational constraints just by absorbing spiritual energy.
The ferocious beasts also evolved through spiritual energy, but he had never seen any that could fly off the continent.
This Mr. Jiang Li was definitely stronger than all the ferocious beasts!
"Mr. Jiang Li, how many people in your place can break free from gravity?" Ming Zhong asked.
Jiang Li thought for a moment. He counted himself, Chang Cun Xian Weng, and Hong Chen Xian Zi as three, while cultivators in the Tribulation Period did not necessarily need to rely on their physical bodies; they could break free from gravity using other means.
"Seven or eight," he replied.
Ming Zhong was shocked; he had thought there was only Jiang Li.
Jiang Li briefly recounted the world of the Nine Provinces to Ming Zhong, leaving Ming Zhong speechless and unable to process such vast information for a while.
His lips quivered, "So, you are not from another star, but from another world... the Nine Provinces... the Immortal Realm... cultivators... magical tools..."
Through understanding the cultivation system, he genuinely felt Jiang Li's strength and the chasm that existed between their world and the Nine Provinces.
Forcing humans to give up emotions, aiming to solely develop technology, was beyond the ferocious beasts in the Nine Provinces. Any one of the six major sects of the Nine Empires could easily handle them.
The gap was too significant.
"On behalf of all humanity, I ask Mr. Jiang Li and Mr. Tian Yin to help us deal with the ferocious beasts!" Ming Zhong bowed to Jiang Li and Yin Yang Tian Yin respectively.
"Let him help, leave it to me!" Yin Yang Tian Yin, full of confidence, felt sympathetic towards the human race of this world.
If it came down to choosing between the human race and the ferocious beasts, it would undoubtedly choose to be closer to the human race.
"From both a rational and emotional standpoint, we must go to the ferocious beasts' side and have a look," Jiang Li said. After Ming Zhong's explanation of this world, Jiang Li realized that there were unlikely to be any threats here from the human realm, and it was highly likely that the Dao Ancestor was trapped on the side of the ferocious beasts.
"Then should I take two of them over?" Ming Zhong was overjoyed, knowing that the person before him was the pinnacle of the Nine Provinces, a Dao Ancestor. With his help, the ferocious beasts were nothing but chickens and dogs; no threat.
Ming Zhong pointed to the floating car parked at the side of the road.
"Too slow."
In the eyes of Jiang Li and Yin Yang Tian Yin, the transportation in this world was too slow, so they enveloped Ming Zhong in spiritual energy and rushed towards the ferocious beasts.
