The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

Chapter 16 Awakening Seal

The Purple Cloud Golden Beetle first helped Zhao Zhen repair his internal organs, and then helped him repair his meridians.

The repairs took three whole days.

Zhao Zhen was also unconscious for three days.

Shen Yao hadn't slacked off for the past three days, practicing meditation and qi cultivation techniques every day, although she didn't know exactly when she would be able to use Bai Luo's spiritual root.

When Zhao Zhen woke up, Shen Yao was meditating.

Zhao Zhen's internal organs have been repaired and his meridians are unobstructed, but he knows that three of his spiritual roots have been destroyed by Jiang Ming and his days are numbered.

During the tens of thousands of years of peace when the true god was on earth, the world of cultivation gods considered destroying the spiritual roots of cultivators a disgrace.

However, the dignified Wind God Hall Master of the True God Sect has now committed the despicable act of destroying spiritual roots and shattering meridians.

The True God Sect, once the most powerful sect coveted by cultivators in the world of cultivation, is now rife with corruption and chaos.

The dignified immortals have resorted to methods no different from those of demons.

This is a disgrace to the name of the true God.

Knowing he couldn't fight the True God Sect, Zhao Zhen had no choice but to flee until he found the person who would pass on the token.

They fled for over seven hundred years and hid for over four hundred years.

In the end, they still couldn't escape this calamity.

He also caused many of his relatives, friends, and disciples to suffer calamities.

He once thought that if he were no longer in this world, the calamity would not come.

However, if he cannot find a successor for the token, this world of cultivation will likely suffer an even greater calamity.

By then, it won't just be him alone, but millions of other living beings in this world.

Fortunately, he may have finally found the messenger of the token; all he needs is confirmation…

Despite her smooth circulation of Qi, Shen Yao still couldn't utilize Bai Luo's spiritual power.

Shen Yao decided to eat something before continuing her attempt. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the sect leader had recovered and was sitting cross-legged on a simple bed, looking at her.

"Sect Master, you're finally awake!" Shen Yao instinctively wanted to shower the Golden Beetle with compliments, but her heart was too heavy to speak. She could only express her gratitude to the Golden Beetle: "Thank you, Sect Master."

Zhao Zhen asked Shen Yao, "Luo'er, I have observed you meditating for a long time, but I do not see any spiritual energy flowing. Is there something wrong with your spiritual root?"

Shen Yao: "I don't know why, but I really can't circulate my spiritual power these days."

Zhao Zhen asked, "Did you lose your ability to use spiritual power from the day you picked the Crimson Cloud Flower?"

Shen Yao suddenly felt guilty, her heart raced, but she still admitted, "That's right."

Zhao Zhen stared at Shen Yao for a long time, making her feel guilty and lower her head.

Zhao Zhen: "You can trust your teacher and tell me the truth."

Shen Yao was silent for a moment, then stammered, "Disciple, disciple does not know what the sect leader is referring to."

Zhao Zhen sighed and said, "You joined the sect at the age of eight. You were still a simple and lively child. When you first came to the sect, you missed your parents and cried every day."

“Every day I carried you down the mountain to see your parents, and you would only be willing to practice your skills diligently after you had seen your parents.”

Shen Yao hadn't paid much attention to this memory.

Zhao Zhen said firmly, "I know you are not her."

Shen Yao suddenly looked up.

Zhao Zhen's eyes were filled with loving kindness mixed with sorrow: "She never called me Sect Master."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao immediately knelt down and prostrated herself in worship: "Master!"

This was her own ceremony to formally become an apprentice.

"Good, good, good." Zhao Zhencheng accepted this apprenticeship ceremony, becoming his last disciple in this life.

Tears welled up in Zhao Zhen's eyes as she cautiously asked in a soft voice, "Where is my obedient and good apprentice, Bai Luo?"

Shen Yao felt extremely guilty: "Senior Sister Bai Luo has already passed away because she accidentally touched the Crimson Cloud Flower. Disciple Shen Yao came from another world and woke up in this body."

Zhao Zhen was deeply saddened.

Every disciple of the Spirit Herb Sect was a good student whom he had personally raised.

The master and apprentice remained silent for a long time.

Finally, Zhao Zhen asked, "Is it because your soul cannot be in harmony with your body that you are unable to use spiritual power?"

Shen Yao: "Yes, I can practice the Qi circulation technique, but I cannot absorb and utilize spiritual energy."

Zhao Zhen pressed further: "What cultivation technique did you use to kill the cultivators from the rebel sect that day?"

Shen Yao looked at the golden beetle, and the golden beetle said, "There's nothing I can't say."

Shen Yao truthfully replied to Zhao Zhen: "Master, that is a technique bestowed upon me by the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle. This technique is called the Strongest Strike. It becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent. I can be one level stronger than the opponent's strongest technique whenever I encounter any opponent."

Zhao Zhen had never heard of such a technique before. After thinking about it carefully, he realized it was indeed powerful. He then heard Shen Yao say, "Although the technique has no restrictions, my movement skills are too poor, and my hit rate is extremely low."

Otherwise, she could have saved the elders and fellow disciples when the villains broke into the sect that day.

She thought it to herself, but didn't say it aloud. She didn't dare to say it, nor did she want to evoke painful memories in her master's heart.

The destruction of a sect is undoubtedly the most painful thing for a sect leader.

Zhao Zhen understood immediately. If such a technique could hit its mark every time, it would be invincible.

Zhao Zhen still had one thing to confirm: "I have a token. If it is taken out, it will cause a surge of spiritual energy in the surrounding area and a huge change in the celestial phenomena."

Looking at the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle, which was slightly larger than before, Zhao Zhen asked sincerely, "I wonder if the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle could set up a high-level restriction to sever the connection between this cave and the outside world?"

Golden Beetle: "It can only be interrupted for half an hour."

Zhao Zhen: "Half an hour is enough."

The golden beetle began setting up the restrictions, and finished in a moment: "Alright, take it out now."

Zhao Zhen took out the Enlightenment Seal.

As soon as the Spirit Awakening Seal was activated, the cave was instantly filled with rich spiritual energy.

The Spirit Awakening Seal is a milky white jade plaque, exquisitely carved with ten mythical beasts.

The jade tablet floated in mid-air, and the three large characters on it, "Qi Ling Yin," shimmered with seven-colored light.

“These are the Ten Great Spirit Source Beasts.” The golden beetle flew up and pointed with one of its antennae at one of the insect beasts that looked similar to it: “This is me, the adult form of the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle, the Golden Spirit Source Beast.”

"From left to right, the two at the top are the Blue Flame Bird and the Kuangye Smoke Scale Dragon, corresponding to fire and air."

"The next two are the Mystic Peak Piercing Turtle and the Rinchuan Ice Crystal Shark, corresponding to Earth and Ice," the Golden Beetle explained.

"From top to bottom on the left, they are the Purple Cloud Golden Beetle, the Bewildering Willow Beast, and the Cloud Cliff Black Hoof Beast, corresponding to metal, wood, and water."

"From top to bottom on the right, they are Qiankui Soul-Capturing Beast, Fengwu Gale Beast, and Unicorn Thunder Beast, corresponding to Soul, Wind, and Thunder."

After the golden beetle finished its introduction, Shen Yao asked, "What is this Spirit Awakening Seal used for?"

The golden beetle said, "Since your master has this, he should know its use."

Shen Yao looked at Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen did not explain, but only said, "I am about to verify something. Don't be afraid, it won't harm you."

With the golden beetle protecting her, Shen Yao wasn't afraid and immediately agreed to her master's request.

Zhao Zhen activated the Spirit Awakening Seal and struck Shen Yao's soul core.

Bai Luo's body became an empty shell, and Shen Yao's soul was absorbed into the Qi Ling Seal.

"It's done! It's done!" Zhao Zhen trembled with excitement.

It has been 1,074 years since he began his escape at the age of five. Finally, he has found the messenger of the token!

Zhao Zhen felt both joy and sorrow.

On the jade plaque, the three large characters "Qi Ling Yin" shimmered with seven-colored light, becoming increasingly dazzling, and slowly spread to the ten carved spirit beasts.

Gradually, the seven-colored light completely filled the ten original spirit beast statues, and the phantoms of the ten original spirit beasts flew up from the statues and flew into the jade tablet.

Zhao Zhen wiped away her tears again and again.

The golden beetle tried to follow the phantom of the spirit beast into the jade tablet, but was blocked outside.

The golden beetle tried again and was bounced off and landed on the cave wall.

Realizing that he couldn't get in, he stopped wasting his time and quietly waited to the side.
