I Summoned Demon and Angel in Cultivation World

Chapter 5: Spiritual Root

His father’s lips twitched.


"What do you mean lightning struck you and you grew a new Spiritual Root?"


Tyler frantically nodded his head.


"Yeah, I am not lying. You can check it right now. When I regained my mobility, I tried to use all of my Qi to run as fast as possible."


"During that time, I found a new Spiritual Root in my Dantian."


His words caused quite a lot of confusion in the surroundings.


"Silence!"


His father shouted, shutting down chatter as he placed his hand on his son’s stomach.


But he felt something strange.


"Wait, are you holding onto something?"


Only then did Tyler realize he was holding the cat in his hand. He had kept it inside his clothes so he wouldn’t be distracted while running.


Because of the pressure from the Demon King, the cat was behaving well.


"It’s a stray cat I picked up."


Tyler removed the cat from his clothes. It was an orange tabby cat. At this moment, it was looking at Tyler’s father with its cute eyes.


"Oh!"


His father completely ignored the cat and pressed his hand on Tyler’s stomach.


He closed his eyes and released his Divine Sense.


A few seconds later, his eyes opened with a look of amazement. He turned around, and his voice stuttered a little as he spoke.


"B...br... bro... brother John, can you check his Spiritual Root?"


"Why are you stuttering out of nowhere? Could it be he really grew a Spiritual Root after being struck by lightning?"


John was a tall man with a face a bit similar to Tyler’s father’s.


"Isn’t it bad?" One of Tyler’s cousins asked.


"I think it is really bad. Tyler’s talent was already bad due to Five Elemental Spiritual Roots; now adding the sixth one would only make things worse."


Another of his cousins spoke.


"Poor Tyler! Even Heaven didn’t want to help."


The girl showed pitiful eyes as she looked at Tyler.


Suddenly, her father patted her on the head and said.


"Don’t speak too soon! Tom isn’t the kind of person to stutter so easily."


Another of the elders muttered.


"Could it be exactly the opposite? Can someone like that even happen?"


"Impossible!"


The Sixth Elder shouted, shaking his head frantically.


Until John opened his eyes and removed his hand. It was shaking fiercely.


His reaction was even more intense than Tyler’s dad’s.


There was a mixture of joy, relief, and confusion, but no anger or hatred.


"Tyler has Heavenly Rank Spiritual Root!"


He roared, using every bit of his strength to release all of those emotions in his words.


"What?"


Everyone collectively shouted once more.


They were truly stunned by this news.


Heavenly Spiritual Root!


It represented talent. It represented the future.


Not to mention Heavenly Spiritual Root, the highest grade of Spiritual Root their family had ever awakened was Spirit Rank Spiritual Root.


There was a Profound Rank Spiritual Root below it, which was awakened by most of the heirs, and even among the elders, this was a common staple.


Below the Profound Rank was the Common or Mortal Rank Spiritual Root, commonly known as the Five Elemental Spiritual Root.


Above the Spirit Rank Spiritual Root was the Earth Rank Spiritual Root, commonly known as the Two Elements Spiritual Root.


Finally, above Earth Rank Spiritual Root was Heavenly Rank Spiritual Root, meaning Heavenly Spiritual Root, One Element Spiritual Root.


"John, are you sure? Wait, let me check!"


Another of the elders ran in front of John and quickly placed his hand on Tyler’s stomach.


Although they had their personal interests, they would always support the development of the family.


That’s why Tyler didn’t react to him or even retaliate with his Qi.


As the elder’s Divine Sense entered his Dantian, he sensed an incredibly bright, five-feet-tall yellow Spiritual Root.


The moment his hand left Tyler’s stomach, he turned towards Tom with a large grin.


"Congratulations, Tom!"


That’s all he said.


That’s all he needed to say because the awakening of Spiritual Root was a matter of Heaven and Fate.


Nobody could alter these two aspects. That’s why when Tyler awakened the Five Elemental Spiritual Root, everyone was disappointed.


Because at least as an Heir, he should’ve awakened the Four Elements Spiritual Root.


But now, he had awakened a Heavenly Spiritual Root, the highest grade of Spiritual Root that could be found in the entire continent of Xeno.


That’s also why Tyler dared to reveal his Spiritual Root to the public.


It was understandably confusing, but only Heaven could decide the birth of the Spiritual Root.


Everyone believed this. So, those who awaken the Heavenly Spiritual Root are considered darlings of Heaven.


And considering this spiritual root allowed them to surpass the Nascent Soul Realm, every sect in the country would die to have him.


But no matter which sect he chooses, they wouldn’t try to kill him for fear of retaliation.


Because their country was ranked 64th in the All Country Ranking.


Since there were only seventy-two countries in the world, this ranking was quite low.


Especially considering there were three hundred million cultivators in their country alone.


Among them, only ten were Nascent Soul Cultivators.


The matter of the Spiritual Root awakening couldn’t be concealed. Tyler wanted to attract the attention of those Nascent Soul monsters.


Only with their help could he truly cultivate faster.


He wasn’t worried about the Angel but about the Demon King. This guy was unpredictable, chaotic, and could easily endanger his family.


If he were an orphan, he wouldn’t care about anything. But he had a family. No matter how bad his fate was before, his family made him feel at home.


He didn’t care about his cousins and elders, but his father and mother were the most important people to him.


He also had an important elder sister. She was one of the two people who awakened the Spirit Rank Spiritual Root.


The other was Uncle John’s daughter. Both were four years older than they and joined the Golden Dawn Sect just after their awakening.


Since both had awakened the Three Elements Spiritual Root, the sect let them enter without considering their cultivation realm.


Unfortunately, both of them were women. Unless they were willing to not get married, they couldn’t inherit the family and become Family Head.


At this moment, everyone was giving Tyler a shocked look.


Tyler broke free from his mother’s hand and said.


"Mom, I will go to my room and try to break through."


"Wait, you don’t have Light Attribute Technique."


Hearing that, Tyler paused and rolled his eyes at his father.


"Dad, I now have Heavenly Spiritual Root. At least, in my current realm, I don’t need the boost from a technique, do I?"


Cultivation Techniques were important for two reasons: Qi Power and Refining Qi Speed.


Because he practiced the Purple Gold Qi Technique, his gold Qi was three times more powerful than his normal Qi.


This was considered Qi Power, a unique boost granted by the comprehension of one’s technique.


Refining Qi Speed was related to one’s cultivation speed.


Because he had only comprehended his technique to the Beginner Realm, it could only speed up the refining of his Gold Qi by two times.


That’s why his Dantian had a higher amount of Gold Qi. Each Vortex had at least forty percent of Gold Qi.


Hearing his words, Tom paused and nodded. He also realized their family library didn’t have a Light Attribute Technique.


Since Light Attribute was one of the rarest kinds of attribute, very few families would keep a technique related to it.


Tyler hurriedly left the crowd and entered the mansion with his cat.


"Everyone, spread the news! My son has awakened the Heavenly Spiritual Root. Hahahaha!"


Just saying that made Tom laugh in excitement and pride.


Fortunately, Tyler left early; otherwise, he would’ve been embarrassed.


He quickly entered the room, and the cat immediately jumped down from his hand.


"Come on, you are such a bad kitty. I didn’t leave you behind, but now that you are out of danger, you leave my arms immediately."


Tyler couldn’t help but grumble. He was so kind to this cat that even in danger, he didn’t leave it behind.


But instead of being grateful, he left his hands the moment they were out of danger.


By danger, he didn’t just mean the Demon King. He also meant his father and his entire family.


After all, this cat could only be considered a pet if it remained in his hand; otherwise, it would be considered a monster.


"Humph! You are the one who summoned me here. Don’t think just because you are my summoner, I will listen to you."


"Here is what you will do. You will take care of my meals, never disturb me while I’m sleeping, and help me learn more about this world."


"In return, I will give you a chance to pet my hair and this soft paw. Believe me, they are very soft."


When the cat’s voice stopped, Tyler just stood there in absolute shock.


"Wait, you can talk?"
