Sword Emperor

"Big brother, now that the great enemy is in front of us, you have yet to recover from your serious injuries. Therefore, we must help you recover as soon as possible.    

May I ask how many Innate Spiritual Fruits can help you recover to your peak state?"    

As soon as he said that, everyone present looked at the Nine Li God.    

Under the gaze of the crowd, he slowly put down his chopsticks and pondered for a moment before saying softly:    

"Brother, I know that you are anxious, and I know the current situation is dire. However, even if it is an Innate Spiritual Treasure, it cannot completely heal my injuries."    

For a moment, the sound of people gasping for air could be heard.    

"How is that possible? That is an Innate Spiritual Fruit. Even if one or two of them are not enough, can it be that ten or fifty of them are not enough?"    

"That's right, Patriarch, how can I help you completely recover?"    

"..."    

After knowing this news, the Nine Li Clan felt as if the sky had collapsed. Be it Chiyou, Fei Lian, or the ordinary cultivators, their eyes were filled with disbelief.    

Not only them, even Sun Bing frowned.    

Ever since he obtained the Innate Spiritual Root, he felt that it was as if it was omnipotent.    

It could heal injuries, raise one's cultivation level, strengthen one's foundation, and so on. Its effects were extraordinary.    

He never thought that he would obtain this answer from the Nine Li God.    

With regards to this, the Great God of Jiuli was very calm as he slowly explained:    

"The Innate Spiritual Root's effect is naturally extraordinary, and it can treat almost all injuries.    

"But I have broken through a limit, and even if it's an Innate Spiritual Root, it is unable to touch that limit."    

Hearing that, everyone's pupils suddenly shrank, and their hearts were filled with shock.    

They originally thought that the Lord of the Era was already at the peak of the world, but they never thought that there would be such a secret behind it.    

After a moment of absent-mindedness, the Jade Emperor, who was the most eager for strength, suddenly asked:    

"Brother, may I ask what level your current cultivation has reached?"    

The Great God of Jiuli was slightly stunned, and then immediately said:    

"It should still be the Lord of the Era, or maybe even a step further? Even I am completely unaware of the specific situation."    

"Because I can feel that my cultivation has not broken through, it's just accumulating strength."    

This was very simple to say, but to truly do it, it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.    

Because the ordinary Lord of the Era's strength was as slow as a snail, and it would take thousands of years for a single bit of improvement.    

To raise to the level of the Great God of Jiuli, the time needed could not be described simply as years.    

Just as everyone was absent-minded, Sun Bing frowned and muttered in his heart:    

"Since even the Innate Spiritual Roots are unable to recover from such damage, it seems that only that thing has a certain chance."    

Thinking of this, his eyes were filled with determination.    

Because the Nine Li Great God had revealed such a shocking secret, everyone's mind was in a trance.    

Even the various delicacies in the banquet became tasteless under such circumstances.    

It had only been a few hours, and the grand banquet had already ended.    

For example, the Overlord, Jade Emperor, and the others returned to the frontlines to guard against the Heavenly Dao and the other races who might come back at any time.    

The Nine Li Clan also returned to their own base. In the vast Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches, only Sun Bing and the Nine Li Great God were left.    

Even so, Sun Bing was still quite cautious. With a thought, the many array runes in the Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches began to emit a faint fluorescent light.    

In just a few moments, an enormous array formation had enveloped the entire palace.    

Under such a tight defense, Sun Bing slowly came in front of the Nine Li Great God.    

"Big brother, since ordinary Innate Spiritual Roots are not of much use, I wonder if this thing can help you recover?"    

As his words fell, he thought of something. The space in front of him suddenly split open, and the rich fragrance swept through the entire Cloudy Palace of the Golden Arches in an instant.    

When he smelled this scent, a hint of obvious surprise appeared on the face of the Nine Li God. Then, his eyes stared intently at the cracked space.    

A golden ancient ginseng slowly flew out from the crack. Through the mottled patterns on its surface, one could tell that this ginseng was very old, and it was almost impossible to trace its age.    

This was the grandfather of the ginseng.    

When Kunlun Mountain was destroyed, he had consumed his source to help the Kunpeng, White Tiger, and other Divine Beasts recover. After that, he gave his dead body to Sun Bing in order to apologize.    

Even so, Sun Bing had never thought of touching the body of the other party.    

Even though he said that the other party had committed a heinous crime, he changed his mind after he realized his mistake.    

However, what made people helpless was that the current situation was too severe, so he had no choice but to make this decision.    

On the other side, the Nine Li God finally recovered from the shock. However, his face was still filled with unerasable shock.    

"I never thought that one day I would be able to personally witness the legendary Chaos Spiritual Root. It's really rare."    

When he heard this, Sun Bing's eyes immediately filled with anticipation.    

"Big brother, could it be that..."    

Before he could finish his words, he could see him shake his head firmly.    

"Brother, this Chaos Spiritual Root is indeed extraordinary. It's a pity that the source is already depleted, and only a skin is left.    

"If he was at his peak, it would be easy for him to recover after consuming it. However, he can only recover half of his strength at most."    

Although he had already guessed it, Sun Bing's face was still filled with disappointment when he heard the answer.    

However, the Nine Li God did not stop there. Instead, he continued to speak.    

"Although I don't know what happened, I can tell that the Chaos Spirit Root is quite related to you.    

"If that's the case, how can I say no? Let's drop the matter and not mention it again."
