Zhuge Liang's Journey to Dominate the World: Starting from Another World

Chapter 316 Profound Yang Divine Essence

Kongming composed himself and then said, "Muling, I suspect you may possess a special hidden spiritual root. If it can be guided, it will be a tremendous opportunity for you!"

"Spiritual root? Does that mean I can cultivate too?" Upon hearing this, Li Muling was both surprised and delighted, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

Deep down, she was always saddened by her inability to cultivate, feeling that this was an insurmountable chasm between her and Kongming.

Hearing that she might possess a special, invisible spiritual root, how could she not be excited?

Yao Yao listened from the side, tilted her head, and asked curiously, "Yay! Sister can cultivate now! Will she be as powerful as Liang Liang in the future, and take Yao Yao to lots and lots of fun places...?"

Upon hearing this, Kongming smiled slightly. He never expected that this little ancestor would take such good care of Li Muling at first sight. Before, she didn't recognize anyone except him. Even when Su Yao wanted to help her change her clothes, she was refused!

It should be noted that once Yao Yao is provoked, only Kongming can calm her down. If Kongming is not around, she may very well turn into a demon, and the consequences are unimaginable.

But now, she is so close to and dependent on Li Muling, which is a pleasant surprise.

Then, Kongming looked at Li Muling and said, "This is just my guess. To confirm it, I need to conduct further investigation!"

"Liangliang...then hurry up and show it to your sister!" Yaoyao urged anxiously, tugging at Kongming's sleeve.

Kongming shook his head helplessly and led the two toward his secret cultivation chamber.

Upon entering the secret chamber, Kongming gestured for Li Muling to remove her coat and sit on the futon in the center.

Then, he formed a hand seal, and soft starlight emanated from his body. The light wrapped around his fingertips like silk threads and slowly entered Li Muling's body.

huh...

As the starlight threads from Kongming's fingertips probed in, Li Muling couldn't help but let out a soft moan. That strange power traveled along her meridians, bringing a peculiar sensation that was both tingling and warm.

Soon, Li Muling's smooth forehead was covered in fragrant sweat, and her thin, clinging inner shirt clung to her shapely body, outlining her graceful curves. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying her best to suppress the strange sensation brought on by the power within her.

Kongming focused on guiding his magical power through Li Muling's body, finally reaching the deeply hidden source in a very secret location within her dantian.

A wisp of spiritual energy slowly emanated from this place.

Kongming was overjoyed and locked his divine sense tightly onto the source of this spiritual energy. However, no matter what methods he used, he was unable to break through the barrier of that mysterious power and further explore the full picture of the spiritual root.

This mysterious force acts like an indestructible barrier, tightly protecting the spiritual root. Every attempt to break through triggers a strong backlash.

Kongming was deeply shocked. Under normal circumstances, as long as a person has spiritual roots, he can sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and then try to absorb and cultivate it.

However, Li Muling's spiritual root was sealed and imprisoned by such a powerful seal, which explains why she could not sense the existence of spiritual power, let alone cultivate it.

However, to Kongming's surprise, Li Muling's spiritual root could actively absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, forming a seal while also releasing a trace of nourishment to her physical body.

This is why Li Muling's appearance was frozen in time.

Even with Kongming's decades of experience in cultivating Taoism, he had never heard of such a thing. This was an ability that no ordinary spiritual root could possess.

Kongming tried to use his magic again, but to no avail, which made him frown.

"Huh! Could this little girl have a Yin constitution?"

Just when Kongming was at his wit's end, a voice rang in his mind.

"Old ghost, do you know what's going on?" Kongming was overjoyed upon hearing this, and with a thought, the 'Old Six Pearls' floated above his head.

"Hehehe... Daoist Zhuge, you have such a wonderful encounter! I'm so envious!" the old spirit of the artifact chuckled mysteriously.

Upon hearing this, Kongming's face darkened, and he rebuked, "Stop playing tricks and get to the point!"

The old spirit cleared its throat and said, "Years ago, I accidentally found an ancient book in the secret treasury of the Ming Dynasty royal family. It recorded the legend of the Holy Yin Physique. This physique is extremely rare, appearing only once every ten thousand years. It is naturally attracted to the Yin spiritual energy. If it were an ordinary cultivator, it could absorb it for cultivation. But this Holy Yin Physique constantly attracts the Yin spiritual energy, automatically forming a seal around the spiritual root."

Kongming frowned and asked, "Can this seal be broken?"

Jie Jie Jie...

The spirit of the artifact chuckled strangely, "It can definitely be solved, but it will require the sacrifice of your billions of descendants!"

"Speak like a human being! If you keep playing these tricks, don't blame me for being impolite!" Kongming was completely bewildered and scolded him irritably.

The old spirit stopped its strange laughter and said seriously, "Unlocking this seal is actually not difficult for you, fellow Daoist. First, you need to use the 'Mysterious Yang Divine Essence' to melt the seal around the spiritual root. Second, it depends on whether this little girl is willing..."

Kongming frowned and asked, "What is this 'Mysterious Yang Divine Marrow'? Do you know where it can be obtained?"

"Hehehe... As the name suggests, this Profound Yang Divine Marrow is the essence condensed by cultivators who have mastered the highest and most Yang techniques. As far as I know, the technique you cultivate, fellow Daoist, is unfathomable and is also a pure Yang technique, making it perfect for you. That's why I said earlier that I would have to sacrifice your billions of descendants..." The old spirit said slyly, with a knowing look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Kongming's lips twitched. He had never considered taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

"I...I do!"

Suddenly, Li Muling lowered her beautiful eyes, and two blushes instantly rose on her cheeks, making her as shy as a peach blossom blooming in spring. She bit her lower lip slightly, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz...
