Chapter Seventeen Where to Go and Where to Follow

  Three people returned to Ning Yan's home, Tang Huan curiously played with his long hair and said casually: "You didn't say you could become a man, how did you change?"

  Ning Yan said seriously: "Tang Hao, to be honest with you, I said that I could turn into a man just to deceive you when you swallowed the female body. In fact, from now on, you can only live as a woman."

  Tang Hao panicked, if he became a woman for the rest of his life, then Yun Xi's beautiful girlfriend would be in vain. Tang Hao hurriedly tried to expel Xue Hui Liangzi from his body, but there was no effect at all.

  Tang Hao pulled Yun Xi's hand with a bitter face and said: "No! I don't want to be a woman forever, I still want to practice dual cultivation with you!"

  Ning Yan couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Gotcha! I was just seeing how excited you'd get acting like a woman, just kidding around with you."

  Tang Hao said weakly, "I'm not excited or anything, I just thought that since I can become a man anyway, I might as well satisfy my curiosity. Last time when I turned into Yun Xi, I didn't have the mood to think about these things, and when I turned into Mei Mo, I didn't dare to think about them."

  Yun Xi remained silent, as if lost in thought. Tang Hao noticed this and shook Yun Xi gently, asking "Is everything okay?"

  Yun Xi smiled and said, "It's okay, you guys keep talking!" Tang Huang felt that Yun Xi was a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he continued to listen to Ning Yan.

  Ning Yan thought for a moment, then looked at Yun Xue and continued: "You should put your primordial spirit into the sea of consciousness to see if you can find your body. If you do, just let your primordial spirit enter your own body and you'll be able to change back. As for this Japanese woman's body, it will return to your sea of consciousness. However, I advise you not to change now. Don't worry about wearing women's clothes for the time being. The problem is that if some people who want to capture you come in, it will be troublesome."

  Tang Hao now has cultivation, and he can naturally sense the existence of his primordial spirit. Tang Hao tried to let his primordial spirit enter his sea of consciousness, and indeed saw himself stark naked. Tang Hao didn't rush to change back either; as long as he could confirm that he could change back, it was fine.

  Tang Hao suddenly thought of a question and asked, "If I can absorb other people's cultivation, wouldn't it be possible to become an immortal just by absorbing others?"

  Ning Yan shook her head and said, "You think it's that simple. Although you're in a woman's body now, in reality, your body should be counted as two. If you devour more bodies, the more bodies you have, the more spiritual energy you'll have inside, but your cultivation will be the average of all your bodies. On the other hand, the more bodies you have, the larger your internal capacity will be, and your cultivation speed won't increase with the number of bodies, instead it will affect your promotion speed."

  Tang Hao said disappointedly, "Then isn't my progress half of that Japanese chick's?" Tang Hao's current spiritual root was now 108,000 miles away from Yun Xi's, and his cultivation speed had also halved. Let alone protect Yun Xi, he would definitely be a hindrance.

  Ning Yan nodded and said: "Your cultivation speed is as fast as Xue Hui Liangzi's, but your capacity has become that of two people."

  Tang Hao said helplessly: "Then can't you find me a spirit root that's a bit better? At this speed, when will I ever become an immortal?"

  Ning Yan said with a hint of sourness, "Who told you to give the Benyuan's power that I brought to you to Yun Xue? Otherwise, you should be able to swallow the spiritual root of the female cultivator by now."

  Yun Xi's face showed a hint of guilt, and Tang Hao comforted her: "You were willing to give up your life for me, what's a little bit of original power?" Tang Hao continued to ask Ning Yan: "Then how can I devour an even better spiritual root?"

  Ning Yan replied, "If you absorb all the yellow-grade spiritual roots of metal, wood, water, fire and earth, refine them into a yellow-grade five-element spiritual root, you can temper your origin, and then you can absorb xuan-grade spiritual roots. It's like that..."

  "Five Lines Spirit Root?" Tang Hao had never heard of this term before.

  Ning Yan explained: "The Five Elements Spirit Root is different from the Waste Spirit Root. It has all five attributes of spirit roots, and they are all at the same level. When cultivating, the five elements resonate with each other, support each other, and the cultivation speed can be compared to that of a higher-level spirit root. What's even more terrifying is that it can cultivate five different attribute techniques simultaneously, and the spiritual energy within the body is also five times that of the same level. The divine ability is also supported by the mutual assistance of the five attributes, greatly increasing its power. It can overcome all five-element divine abilities in the world, but cannot be restrained by any five-element divine ability."

  "This is also too abnormal, with the five-element spiritual root, what's the point of having a mysterious spiritual root?" Tang Hao sighed.

  "Although it's a five-element spiritual root, after all, it's only yellow-grade. Don't you want an xuan-grade or even di-grade, tian-grade...?" Ning Yan sneered.

  Tang Hao nodded and said, "That's right. Then is the most powerful spiritual root a divine-level five-element spiritual root?" Ning Yan nodded and said, "In theory, yes, but divine-level spiritual roots are extremely rare, one in ten thousand years. Let alone divine-level five-element spiritual roots, even in an era without divine-level five-element spiritual roots, sacred five-element spiritual roots should be the strongest. Even among sacred five-element spiritual roots, I only know of two people who have had them."

  Tang Hao's eyes gleamed with determination as he said, "In that case, I'll aim to obtain the Sacred Five Elements Spirit Root. That way, I won't have to worry about being left behind by all of you."

  Yun Xi said in a bad mood: "You'd better think carefully about the near future first, thinking so far ahead is useless. You should know that there aren't many who can break through to Yuan Ying with the Ling Shen body."

  "I've said it before, and I'll make sure to keep my word. I will definitely surpass all of you and become the strongest in the world. At that time, wherever I want to take you to play, no one will be able to stop us."

  Yun Xi smiled happily, but Ning Yan rolled her eyes and said, "That's all you're capable of."

  Yun Xi leaned into Tang Hao's arms, speaking softly: "Although I want to stay with you forever, who knows if we'll have other reasons to temporarily part ways. You must grow up on your own, only then can I be at ease."

  Tang Hao nodded solemnly, but it seemed that Yun Xue's words were hiding something.

  Tang Hao suddenly said with a clear mind: "Ning Yan, is there a suitable cultivation method for me? I want to start cultivating now. I don't want to be protected by you all the time. I hope that one day, I can stand in front of you and protect you."

  Ning Yan was taken aback and asked, "Including me?" At the same time, a flush appeared on her face, and she found that Yun Xi was staring at her with a vigilant expression.

  Ning Yan didn't care about Yun Xi's expression, and somewhat flusteredly said: "Actually, the method of cultivation is also divided into six levels like the spiritual roots - sacred, heavenly, earthly, mysterious, yellow, and black. This doesn't mean that a yellow-level spiritual root can't cultivate a mysterious or higher level method, it's just that generally speaking, cultivating a method at the same level as one's own spiritual root is the best choice in terms of both speed and difficulty. I don't have any yellow-level methods on hand right now, but once we find a place with spiritual energy to settle down, I'll think of a way to get some."

  After saying so much, Tang Hao suddenly felt that he was very ignorant. On the path of cultivating immortality, there were really too many things for him to learn. Tang Hao continued to ask: "Then where are we going?"

  Ning Yan shook her head and said, "I haven't thought this through yet. I originally wanted to take you to the Realm of Gods and Demons, but I don't have that ability now. You probably wouldn't be willing either."

  Yun Xue smiled and took out a world map of the Earth, saying: "On this planet, there are three places that can reach other planets through wormholes and transmission arrays. The first one is in the western part of the Atlantic Ocean, which is a space wormhole leading to the star domain of Atlantis. Although the cultivation in that star domain is also the cultivation of the five elements, most of the methods are too eager for success, resulting in powerful spiritual powers but few high-ranking cultivators. Moreover, the activity of the wormhole is too intense, and it's easy to get injured during transmission, so I don't recommend taking this route."

  Tang Hao looked in the direction that Yun Xi was pointing, and it turned out to be the Bermuda Triangle! No wonder there were planes and ships that had gone missing there. Yun Xi pointed her hand towards the East China Sea, "The second one is in the East China Sea, also a space wormhole, leading to the Penglai Star Domain. This star domain has many factions, with demons, devils, and Taoists vying for power. In the tens of thousands of years of competition between the three sides, each side had its victories and defeats. The cultivators in this star domain are very cunning, with high-level techniques and treasures emerging one after another. However, the energy of the wormhole is too weak, and it only appears occasionally. It's recommended to go again when there's an opportunity."

  Tang Hao's heart was filled with endless sighs, and the legendary Penglai Fairy Island turned out to be a wormhole leading to other star domains.

  Yun Xue pointed to the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang and said, "The third place is a transmission array that leads to the Kunlun Star Domain. Three thousand years ago, the Taoist sect unified the entire star domain, forming a world where the main focus was on cultivating the Tao, while demon cultivators and magic cultivators practiced in secret. Most of the techniques used were based on Taoist methods. The overall peace for thousands of years has resulted in an extremely large number of cultivators in this star domain, but neither their mental state nor experience can compare to those from the Penglai Star Domain. Therefore, I suggest hiding here first."

  Tang Hao suddenly saw under Yun Xi's fingers were three big words - Luobo Lake!

  "But..."

  Tang Hao looked puzzled and asked: "Only what?" Yun Xi replied with a hint of sourness: "Only Lin Yundan is also in that star domain."

  Tang Hao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Those are all in the past, you're the only one in my heart."

  A hint of bitterness flashed across Ning Yan's face, but it quickly passed.
