Chapter 372: Chapter 256: The Second Roulette Fragment (Part 2)

The night the Celestial Demon Heart Realm opened, Qin Yuesheng ambushed and managed to steal the Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror, which Jiang Taicang considered the greatest opportunity within Cyan Yang City.

This infuriated Jiang Taicang to the point of almost spitting blood. If he could obtain the Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror, Jiang Taicang could save plenty of time and wouldn’t have to resort to cultivating magic without advanced cultivation methods.

Facing the slashing Heaven Demon Evil Blade, Jiang Taicang formed a hand seal, recited a spell, and a green mist immediately enveloped the short bone staff in his hand.

Amidst the green mist, two massive skeletons, much taller than an average adult, suddenly crawled out from beneath the ground. They leaped up, using their bodies to block the Heaven Demon Evil Blade.

Slap! Slap!

With their skeletal hands, they clapped onto the blade of the Heaven Demon Evil Blade, surprisingly managing to restrain it.

"Hmm!" Qin Yuesheng was slightly surprised, not expecting the strength of these skeletons to be so enormous, likely surpassing the power of ten horses.

"This blade was supposed to be mine, and today it returns to its rightful owner!" Jiang Taicang thought inwardly, as he reached out with his left hand.

Suddenly, a bloody claw shadow streaked towards Qin Yuesheng’s heart, its stench so overpowering that it made one feel nauseous upon smelling.

Qin Yuesheng quickly held his breath, wrapped his arm in Profound Celestial Internal Strength, and greeted the claw with his palm.

Bam!

The bloody claw turned out to be surprisingly solid, giving a sense of direct conflict rather than distant combat.

Profound Celestial Internal Strength naturally carried the power to drive away and dispel evil. The bloody claw only lasted for a few breaths before it disintegrated and crumbled.

Witnessing this, Jiang Taicang’s eyes turned red with hatred towards Qin Yuesheng.

Profound Celestial Internal Strength was supposed to be his, but it was snatched by that guy Qin Yuesheng.

The Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror has divisions for external refinement and internal power, and only by achieving external refinement can one learn the Profound Celestial Scripture for internal power cultivation.

In just a month or two, Qin Yuesheng had already cultivated Profound Celestial Internal Strength, which shocked Jiang Taicang immensely.

In his memory, the young master of the Qin family in Cyan Yang City couldn’t even recognize a few characters, only knowing to play around with those identical wastrels of the Du family and the Lu family.

Later, when the Great Ghost Venerable emerged in Cyan Yang City, the West Qi Mountain Temple was powerless to help, and the entire city was destroyed overnight. Under the slaughter by the Ghost Race and evil beings, only a handful survived.

Jiang Taicang was among those survivors.

Thus began his subsequent experiences.

"Even for me, it’s impossible to cultivate Profound Celestial Internal Strength in such a short time without using some extreme methods. Could the Qin family’s waste have such strong talent?!" Jiang Taicang couldn’t help feeling amazed.

Without giving him more time to think, Qin Yuesheng swung the Dragon-Slaying Sword from his back, directly attacking Jiang Taicang with the Dragon Soaring Sword Skill.

The whirling White Dragon Sword Qi came swirling, and Jiang Taicang swung his hand, releasing black internal strength to cut down the White Dragon Sword Qi with magic blade energy.

Clank!

Jiang Taicang’s four fingers instantly broke off, struck head-on by the White Dragon Sword Qi.

If it weren’t for the timely manifestation of a green membrane on Jiang Taicang’s black robe blocking the White Dragon Sword Qi, the consequences would have been severe.

After blocking the White Dragon Sword Qi, the green membrane on this black robe immediately dimmed and finally shattered into countless fragments.

Watching this, Jiang Taicang felt heartache. This robe was no ordinary item, it was a treasure from ruins in Jiangnan with the ability to automatically protect the wearer and possess extraordinary defense power.

But who would have thought, it would be broken today by a single sword from Qin Yuesheng.

Jiang Taicang was furiously angry, causing his hair covering his eyebrows to rise high, revealing a flesh-colored tumor with a mini human face.

"What is that!" Qin Yuesheng was startled.

Could the opponent not be a Demon Sect member, but from the Ghost Race?!

Jiang Taicang reached out to grab, and suddenly the ground beneath Qin Yuesheng’s feet began to hum, and an enormous rocky hand burst from the earth, attempting to grasp Qin Yuesheng entirely.

Qin Yuesheng tapped with the tip of his foot, leaping up, and executed a sword technique as fierce as torrential rain towards the ground.

Continuous chunks of rocks fell off the rocky hand, eventually breaking the fingers, crashing to the ground loudly.

However, this was merely the beginning, as Jiang Taicang clapped his hands and two more gigantic rocky hands surged out from the earth, closing in from left and right to encircle Qin Yuesheng’s body.

These two hands came quickly and fiercely, and Qin Yuesheng was immediately hit, caught within the gaps between the fingers.

Jiang Taicang sneered.

There exists a distinction between geniuses and ordinary people in the world.

Genius has far greater perception and talent than ordinary people.

But these are intangible and untouchable attributes.

However, the public does not know that there is a division between Spiritual Root and No Spiritual Root.

When a person is born, there’s a tiny chance of developing a Spiritual Root within, which is extremely rare and precious.

Those with Spiritual Roots have stronger physiques than ordinary people, thus their strength is greater.

Jiang Taicang once acquired an ancient magic spell called "Five Ghost Spirit Body Skill."

It requires the souls of those with Spiritual Roots as materials, incorporating their souls into one’s own, granting a ’Five Ghost Spirit Body,’ with immense power and endless benefits.

According to Jiang Taicang’s knowledge, there are five types of Spiritual Roots: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Incorporating a Metal Spiritual Root grants sharpness zipping through metal without obstructions.

Incorporating a Wood Spiritual Root allows mastery over plants and trees.

Incorporating a Water Spiritual Root enables water flow manipulation.
