Chapter 151 - Selected!
🕑 Added 2025-05-14 09:43:21 +0000 UTC'Can one cultivator have 2 foundations?' Hengsheng thought.
'What will happen if it can?'
'Will the Heavenly Dao strike me?'
'Will it benefit me, or will it cripple me?'
…
Countless thoughts ran through Hengsheng's mind as he struggled to decide whether to select the Spirit Root as a reward.
Hengsheng searched through the database in the supreme administrator system that Blue had prepared for him, which he had gathered from all sources, trying to get a clue about this topic.
However, he found none. Even the knowledge of the Wu God did not contain anything about the two foundations or anything similar.
"No, it’s too dangerous…" Hengsheng murmured as he decided not to pick the Spirit Root as the reward because it was too dangerous, too many unknowns, and too many risks.
Who knows—if he selected it, it might destroy his Spirit Core or ruin his cultivation realm.
He couldn’t risk his cultivation path being destroyed because of one reckless decision.
He turned his attention to other rewards, but none of them could excite him at all. The Soul Swallowing Technique is just a common demonic technique that helps one speed up cultivation by swallowing souls.
It had severe side effects, as it would twist the practitioner's mind. But Bi Gou, twisted since birth, could not be more twisted, so this technique is perfect for him—but not for Hengsheng. He did not consider this an option.
The Soul Stitcher’s Bone Needle is just an Earth Grade artifact that can attack the soul. It can also be used for other purposes, like how the Puppet Master used them to make flesh puppets.
The Puppeteer’s Secret Diary is the most useless one. It is just a psychopath's diary. It is literally a novel based on the real story of a serial killer, written to strengthen his twisted beliefs and satisfy his own ego.
Hengsheng thought for a moment, then made his decision. The Bone Needle seemed the most practical.
Without hesitation, he selected it.
Ding!
[You have obtained the selected rewards]
A moment later, a warm feeling began to emerge in his lower abdomen.
It was the same feeling he had when he formed his Spirit Core as a child.
That’s right—Hengsheng had selected the Spirit Root at the last moment!
Danger?
The unknown?
The risk?
He couldn't imagine a world where his System couldn't overcome all this!
The warm feeling started to become hot, and the heat continued to rise. It started to make Hengsheng feel burning pain from the heat on his abdomen.
He knew immediately that the problem he thought might happen was happening right now!
“Agh!" Hengsheng accidentally cried out in pain.
He focused his senses and then used his Divine Sense to observe his lower dantian to see what was happening inside.
The image appeared within Hengsheng's mind: a transparent, glass-like blue sphere—his spirit core—inside his dantian was now shaking violently as it reacted against the new foundation that was about to emerge.
On the outside of the dantian, it had changed from before; a thin layer of profound spiritual essence had appeared, enveloping the entire dantian, and something was emerging from its surface.
The thing was a Spirit Root, two glowing roots sprouting from his dantian—one black, shimmering like a rippling wave, and the other green, pulsating with life.
They intertwined but did not mix, each radiating power from its source deep within his inner body.
This was his Water and Wood Dual Spirit Root.
Hengsheng closely observed them. Unlike the spirit core that lay within the center of the lower dantian, the spirit root sprouted from the dantian itself, as if it were a part of the dantian.
As the spirit root was sprouting, the spirit core shook as if it were sensing the greatest enemy about to emerge, and the spiritual qi within dantian was being pulled into the spirit core, accumulating a large amount of qi for some purpose, causing the heat to accumulate within his body.
Hengsheng tried to stabilize his spirit core with his will, but his efforts did not seem to pay off, as the spirit core was still shaking—and it seemed even more violent as the spirit root continued to sprout.
"What to do!" Hengsheng couldn't help but exclaim. He didn’t know what to do, and he had no way to predict what was going to happen due to the lack of information.
He knew that if the spirit core did not stop reacting against the spirit root like this, it would be damaged—or even broken! He had to do something!
While he was thinking about how to deal with this problem...
The spirit root finally fully sprouted from the dantian and became stable. Then it swayed back and forth in a fluttering motion, both roots glowing with a profound radiance as if trying to connect with the surrounding Water and Wood qi outside Hengsheng's body.
However, the spirit root suddenly sensed the existence of the spirit core. Its root became twisted as if it had become crazy, and then it went against its nature, stopped swaying for the surrounding qi, and rushed inside the dantian, whipping its root at the spirit core!
The spirit core, being attacked, became enraged and released the qi that it had accumulated, emitting a powerful radiant wave blast that blasted into the spirit root, which swung violently as if the roots were stretching.
The two recovered and rushed at each other, intent on eliminating the other side at all costs!
The clash between the spirit core and the spirit root officially began.
On the outside—
Hengsheng's Divine Sense was forced out of the dantian when the two foundations began to clash.
"ARGH!" Hengsheng coughed up blood. He wiped his lips, then—
"ARGH!!" He spat out a large amount of blood, as if he were a water sprayer.
Hengsheng's eyes became red!
He was furious that these things were part of him—how dare they defy him!
Without hesitation, Hengsheng activated the Strongest Cultivator System's core ability—
The Absolute Talent!
Two glowing, overlapping halo rings—one red, one blue—floating above Hengsheng’s head. The rings are spinning and intertwined, forming a shape that resembles the infinity symbol
Then—
Hengsheng's aura became mysterious, his body giving off a sense of profound stillness.
His eyes changed, becoming calm like a lake—unwavering under the pressure of the situation. His mind was clear, and the worldly laws became obvious before his eyes—everything appeared to be within his grasp.
Hengsheng entered a heightened state of enlightenment.
Then—
The spiritual power within Hengsheng surged; this power came from Hengsheng's spiritual understanding, accumulated insights of whether dao, law, technique, or else.
They accumulated within his very being—body, mind, and soul!
With the active mode of the Absolute Talent, other than forcing the enlightenment state, the spiritual power within Hengsheng had also temporarily been boosted!
Ding!
[Spiritual Power Temporarily Boosted by +100%]—[Duration: 10 minutes]
[Spiritual Power [Final Boost]: ×96 » ×192]
Hengsheng's Divine Sense once again descended into the lower dantian.
The scene before him was the battle of two cultivator foundations—one whipping, the other releasing wave blasts; an intense battle between the two was occurring, and it did not seem to be stopping until one of them was destroyed.
Hengsheng observed them, but not for entertainment, but to find the answer. His sharp sense and mind immediately spotted the problem.
He concluded that a cultivator can't have two foundations.
The reason?
It was the same reason why people cannot have two bodies, two souls, two existences.
It had to be only one!
These two foundations were reacting to preserve themselves, like the spirit core was the white blood cell fighting the cancer—which, in this case, was the spirit root!
Hengsheng acts immediately, his spiritual power surging through his will, boosting his willpower a hundredfold!
He imposed his will on both the foundations!
‘Stop.’
Immediately, the two foundations stopped their actions, although this was only temporary. When Hengsheng’s will faded, they would fight again.
However, he did not let that happen.
Since there could only be one of them, he would make it one by fusing them together!
With Hengsheng’s profound control of qi, especially in Absolute Mode—
The Qi and Divine Sense followed his command precisely, forming a qi construct that appeared like two transparent rings orbiting the spirit core like a Dyson sphere.
The spirit core glowed as it responded to the qi construct, forming a connection with the ring and becoming one.
Then the spirit core began to transform.
The spirit core transformed. The blue color on its surface faded entirely, becoming a transparent spirit core like when it was first formed, yet the systematic pattern on the surface did not go away.
The systematic pattern of the spirit core moved and changed, extending to the rings that orbited the core.
The systematic pattern glows with a blue pulsing light when the pattern covers everything.
Hengsheng then ripped the spirit root out of his lower dantian. Its essence leaked— from this action, it would soon be gone forever— but he would not let that happen.
He fused the spirit root into the spirit core!
The root’s source merged into the spirit core, creating a thin layer covering the spirit core.
Then, the spirit root merged into the rings, transforming the transparent rings into one black, one green, each emitting the aura of water and wood affinity.
Then the rings started to rotate while orbiting the core.
The foundation fusion process was complete.
Hengsheng named it…

1. Primordial Core Root (太初灵核根 – Tàichū Líng Hégēn) "Primordial" implies ancient, perfect origin. Signifies a complete fusion of both mediums—versatile and specialized. 2. Divine Meridian (神脉 – Shén Mài) Suggests a holy or transcendent spiritual system that surpasses both root and core. 3. Celestial Root Core (天灵根核 – Tiān Líng Gēn Hé) “Celestial” marks it as heaven-bestowed. Implies full elemental control and supreme absorption efficiency. 4. Genesis Vessel (始源体 – Shǐyuán Tǐ) Refers to a body that can cultivate from the source of all energy types. 5. True Spirit Foundation (真灵基 – Zhēn Líng Jī) Suggests this is the ultimate base for cultivation—complete and unshakable. I just used Chatgpt
