After giving Yao Qinghu a harsh lesson, Wang Xiaoqiang had no time to continue clashing with these worldly scholars; he had to start dealing with Li Jianyi. Moreover, with the great turmoil in the Cultivation Realm, every cultivator would be affected, including himself, Wang Xiaoqiang.

So Wang Xiaoqiang called Ye Qingcheng, Lin Xianshu, and the Little Bai Sisters together and instructed them, "We are now going to track down Li Jianyi and assassinate him... During our operation, refrain from straying more than ten miles from me, or it will be very dangerous. My Divine Sense only extends for ten miles..."

Learning that Wang Xiaoqiang's Divine Sense was limited to only ten miles stunned the four women. They had not expected that Wang Xiaoqiang, who was at the Void Transformation Boundary, had such a limited scope of Divine Sense coverage, unaware that this was Wang Xiaoqiang's weakness.

Because Wang Xiaoqiang had not reached the Void Transformation Realm through arduous cultivation, but was relying on the Spiritual Energy stored in his Spiritual Spring.

Immediately,

Wang Xiaoqiang led the four women westward, convinced that Li Jianyi must be staying at the Mount Hua Sword Sect, since it was once his home.

After leaving the urban area, Wang Xiaoqiang summoned the Spirit Spring Flying Boat. He then ordered Little Bai and her sister Yilian to protect the Spirit Spring, while Wang Xiaoqiang engaged in Dual Cultivation 'on the go' with Lin Xianshu and Ye Qingcheng to enhance his power progressively.

A mundane life had caused his cultivation base to stagnate; now, pressed by circumstances, he had to accelerate his improvements, otherwise he would be at risk for his life.

The laws of Heaven and Earth were unfolding, and the barrier between the Immortal Realm and Earth had been breached; surely, masters from the Immortal Realm would enter Earth in the future.

And Wang Xiaoqiang, on Earth, was no longer an invincible existence. Thus, he had to keep improving himself.

Lin Xianshu and Ye Qingcheng took turns accompanying Wang Xiaoqiang in Dual Cultivation on the Spirit Spring Flying Boat, which flew westward at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

That evening,

The Spirit Spring Flying Boat entered the skies above the mountains of the Tibetan Region.

Wang Xiaoqiang decided to rest at a mountaintop; after all, Dual Cultivation was quite draining.

With a thought, the Spirit Spring Flying Boat landed on the peak of a towering mountain.

With a thought, the Spirit Spring Flying Boat burst apart and turned back into a Spiritual Spring, entering Wang Xiaoqiang's body. He and the two women landed on the ground, and Little Bai and Yilian were also summoned by Wang Xiaoqiang to join them.

The mountaintop seemed very steep from a distance, but once they reached the summit, they found a vast plateau. Perhaps due to the long absence of people, it appeared quite barren.

Weeds overgrew, tree branches sprawled out wildly, and though birds flew in flocks and there was no shortage of wildlife on the summit.

Wang Xiaoqiang instructed the four women to hunt some game and gather firewood to prepare a meal.

The four women immediately set to work, and soon, they gathered a large pile of firewood and caught a wild boar and two hares. Wang Xiaoqiang let loose a burst of Fire Element Spiritual Energy, igniting the wood, and the women started roasting the game over the fire.

Moving with willpower, Wang Xiaoqiang took a jar of Thousand-Year Fine Wine from his Sumeru Ring for their enjoyment.

Before long, the meat was roasted, and the five of them began feasting on the food and wine.

As they were enjoying their meal, a sudden sharp flash of light appeared in the sky, and several Immortal Swords shot towards them.

Seeing this, the four women all tensed up.

Wang Xiaoqiang quickly put the weaker Little Bai Sisters into his ring to prevent them from harm.

Soon, four streaks of Sword Light descended, and four men dressed in strange attire stepped down from their swords and stood beside Wang Xiaoqiang. These four men had hair of various colors: one with fiery red, another with white, the third with green, and only one with black.

The fiery-haired youth was none other than Li Jianyi.

Li Jianyi stared intently at Wang Xiaoqiang, his eyes filled with surprise and suspicion. Upon examining Wang Xiaoqiang again, he was still of the Void Transformation Cultivation, which was something he had never anticipated.

Such a young man had reached the Void Transformation Realm, despite the scarcity of Spiritual Energy.

But for Li Jianyi, who was only in the late stage of Transformation, the other three youths from the Immortal Realm were at the same stage as well.

Although Li Jianyi was surprised, he was not afraid. They had four people, while Wang Xiaoqiang was only one, and the cultivation bases of the two women with Wang Xiaoqiang could be ignored.

Of course, he knew that Wang Xiaoqiang had a Sea Beast with him, but that too could be neglected.

The pressure of four late-stage Transformation experts from the Immortal Realm was no small matter for Wang Xiaoqiang. Currently, he was in the middle stage of Void Transformation, and although he could instantly kill any one of them, he could not withstand the combined attack of four. Moreover, he realized that the qi of these four was very strong, their eyes as sharp as torches, showing that their Divine Sense was incredibly powerful, and their combat experience should be quite rich. What Wang Xiaoqiang feared even more was their spells; knowing that the opponents had come from the Immortal Realm, they must understand more spells than he did, and their power was unfathomable.

Lin Xianshu and Ye Qingcheng were equally terrified; being locked by the formidable qi of their opponents, the two women couldn't help but tremble.

What was strange was the color of the four men's hair, each had a different pure color. It was obviously not intentionally dyed, because dying hair could not achieve such pure color.

"Wang Xiaoqiang, you killed my father and my brother. It's time for you to pay the blood debt..." Li Jianyi pointed at Wang Xiaoqiang and shouted.

Wang Xiaoqiang pleaded weakly, "You can kill me, but if you do, could you please let the people by my side go..."

Li Jianyi glanced at Lin Xianshu and Ye Qingcheng, a lecherous smile appearing on his face, "As for these two tender beauties, don't worry, I won't kill them. I will turn them into my dharma slaves..."

"Jianyi, I want that girl," said a young man with a pock-marked face and ugly green hair, pointing at Lin Xianshu, "I'm going to make her my Dual Cultivation partner..."

Lin Xianshu glanced at the green-haired youth's eerily green hair and his hideous face, especially the nose that looked as if it had been worm-eaten, and felt panic and revulsion. She then steeled her heart; if Wang Xiaoqiang could not defeat them, she would rather die than let a monster like Lei Zhenzi defile her.

"Haha, you sure have wishful thinking, but I'll let you long for it without the life to enjoy it..." Wang Xiaoqiang's face revealed a cold smile as he immediately made his move, swinging both hands and sending four Spiritual Energy Swords shooting toward the four people.

The expressions of the four changed, none of them expecting Wang Xiaoqiang to deploy True Qi so swiftly. Little did they know, the Spiritual Power within Wang Xiaoqiang was not in his Dantian, but in the Spiritual Spring. When cultivators attack, they have to channel Spiritual Power from their Dantian, which takes some time. Wang Xiaoqiang had bypassed this step altogether.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

As the Spiritual Energy Swords hacked at the four people, they quickly tried to dodge. However, one of them failed to evade in time and was struck in the shoulder by a Spiritual Energy Sword, spurting blood.

The one hit by the Spiritual Energy Sword was precisely the unsightly green-haired youth. He cried out in pain and horror because, while he had attempted to dodge, he had already erected a Spiritual Energy Shield. But the shield was as if non-existent under Wang Xiaoqiang's Spiritual Energy Sword, collapsing upon contact, allowing the sword to injure his body.

Wang Xiaoqiang was also surprised, for he had merely been probing just now, intending to force the opponent to reveal their spells by provoking an attack from them.

Therefore, the Spiritual Power on the Spiritual Energy Sword was not mighty, just one-tenth of his normal strength, but it still managed to injure one of them, which seemed highly unlikely. How could a late-stage Transformation Expert be weak to such an extent?

"All together, take him down!" Li Jianyi roared, and the four simultaneously sprang into action, waving their Immortal Swords. Sword Lights surged like mountains, slashing at Wang Xiaoqiang from the air.

Boom boom boom boom!

The four Sword Lights rushed toward Wang Xiaoqiang like Wind Dragons. With a thought, Wang Xiaoqiang took Lin Xianshu and Ye Qingcheng into the Sumeru Ring, then leapt skyward to dodge the strike.

The four Sword Lights ravaged the mountaintop forest like a rotting puller, even knocking down the large tree in which the three had taken refuge, demonstrating the sharpness and power of the Sword Lights.

This was just a probing strike; otherwise, Wang Xiaoqiang wouldn't have dodged so effortlessly.

Midair, Wang Xiaoqiang quickly erected a Spiritual Energy Protective Shield, and with a thought, drew the Holy Flame Sword from the Sumeru Ring. His Spiritual Energy surged, and the Sword Light blazed dazzlingly, imperiously.

Li Jianyi and his companions also took flight. They faced Wang Xiaoqiang from afar.

The stars and moon shone above, lighting the night sky as if it were day.

Wang Xiaoqiang gazed at the four Transformation Experts, noting the color of their hair. A thought struck him, and he laughed, "Haha, so the ones coming from the Immortal Realm are all mangy dogs... Each one of you dyes your hair as if you're young masters from a KTV, are you stepping out to sell yourselves?"

The four felt a wave of shame and anger upon hearing this. They had all entered the Immortal Realm as children due to their aptitude, knowing that on Earth there had been a trend of dyeing hair for some time. However, they had not actually dyed their hair, as there was no such custom in the Immortal Realm. Their hair had gradually changed with cultivation,

In the Immortal Realm, across its continents, countries, and major Sects, examination of the Spirit Root was a part of selecting Disciples.

There are five types of Spirit Roots.

One type of person is born of the Metal Attribute and has a Metal Attribute Spirit Root.

Another is of the Wood Attribute, with a Wood Attribute Spirit Root,

Another of Water Attribute, with a Water Attribute Spirit Root,

Another of Fire Attribute, with a Fire Attribute Spirit Root,

Another of Earth Attribute, with an Earth-Attribute Spiritual Root,

After determining the Attribute Spiritual Root, Sects will teach their disciples the corresponding Cultivation Techniques and Spells according to their Spirit Root Attributes. For example, disciples with Metal Attribute Spirit Roots will be taught Metal Attribute Cultivation Techniques and Spells,

After Cultivating Metal Attribute Techniques and Spells, the Spiritual Power in a disciple's body will lean heavily towards "Metal", which is white. Thus, significant changes will occur in their body, the most obvious being a change to white hair for those with Metal Attribute Spirit Roots.

The white-haired youth standing behind Li Jianyi was a disciple with a Metal Attribute Spirit Root who had practiced Metal Attribute Cultivation Techniques and Spells.

Similarly, Li Jianyi was a disciple with a Fire Attribute Spirit Root who had practiced Fire Element Cultivation Techniques and Spells. Hence, his hair was Fiery Red.

Of course, there is also the phenomenon of polarization, such as some individuals who do not have any Attribute Spiritual Roots. Such people lack Spirit Roots and are akin to rotten wood, otherwise known as waste material. These individuals Cultivate very slowly. What others achieve in one year, they need ten years to attain. Hence, these people are unlikely to be chosen by Sects. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.
