Chapter 1915: Chapter 1915: Success!
Although Elder Fire had previously transmitted all the information about the many ’mystical entities’ that can enhance talent roots into Wyatt Barnes’s mind, helping Wyatt recognize and understand the appearance and characteristics of those mystical entities, making it easier for Wyatt to find them.
But Wyatt Barnes discovered:
He had never even heard of those mystical entities, let alone seen them!
Therefore, at that time, Wyatt also realized that those mystical entities were all ephemeral existences to him now.
If there’s another path to enhance talent roots, he truly would prefer not to take this path.
And now, a ’shortcut’ was laid before Wyatt Barnes:
Using the advanced Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’ he had mastered, to devour others’ talent roots and strengthen his own!
However, to date, this shortcut is merely a theory of Elder Fire’s, whether it is feasible or not, everything still requires Wyatt Barnes to personally experiment.
"Arlo Drake, if you want to blame someone, blame yourself for crossing me everywhere... If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have my eyes on your talent root!"
Wyatt Barnes’s gaze fell on Arlo Drake, whom he had knocked unconscious. After raising his eyebrows, he said indifferently, "You brought this upon yourself as my test subject, don’t blame me."
"Elder Fire!"
At the same time, Wyatt Barnes communicated with Elder Fire, asking, "What should I do now? Is there anything specific I should be aware of?"
Devouring talent roots was also a ’new experience’ for him; he did not know the process and could only inquire with Elder Fire.
Perhaps Elder Fire did not know how to use the Minor Devouring Technique to devour talent roots, but he must have heard of how it’s used to devour other things.
"Place your hand on his forehead, then merge your Divine Sense into his soul along with mine. I will guide you to find his talent root... At that time, lock onto his talent root with your Divine Sense, and try activating the ’Minor Devouring Technique’ with the hand touching his forehead."
Elder Fire’s voice arrived timely, reminding Wyatt Barnes.
"Alright!"
Upon hearing this, Wyatt Barnes did not doubt and immediately squatted down, extending his right hand to press onto Arlo Drake’s forehead.
In an instant, Wyatt Barnes’s heartbeat quickened, filled with anxiety.
To him, this was a pivotal ’experiment’!
If successful, his talent roots could be enhanced in a short period; if failed, he would have to honestly search for those elusive enlightenments, making the enhancement of talent roots extremely slow.
And whether the talent roots can be enhanced quickly also has far-reaching effects on him.
Because talent roots determine his speed of cultivation!
Faster cultivation speed means he can elevate his cultivation much quicker, rescuing Keer and their daughter sooner.
With slow cultivation speed, rescuing Keer and their daughter would be indefinitely delayed.
"Hope it goes smoothly... No! It must go smoothly!"
As Wyatt Barnes extended his Divine Sense, merging into Arlo Drake’s mind alongside Elder Fire’s Divine Sense, he continuously screamed in his heart!!
At this moment, he desperately wanted to devour Arlo Drake’s talent root successfully and fortify his own talent roots!
The two Divine Sense, silently merging into Arlo Drake’s mind, piercing into Arlo Drake’s soul.
"His talent root is ahead of you... Given your current cultivation, you are not capable of sensing its presence directly through your Divine Sense. However, at this location, if you calm down, you should still be able to detect the subtle aura it emits... This aura faintly mingles with the concentrated Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth. Now, you can attempt to sense it."
As Elder Fire’s Divine Sense came to a halt, Elder Fire timely advised Wyatt Barnes.
"Alright."
Wyatt Barnes responded, his Divine Sense also halting, while he used his Divine Sense to feel the auras around him.
Initially, his Divine Sense did not sense any special aura in the surroundings.
However, under Elder Fire’s repeated reminders, his Divine Sense, after great difficulty, finally accurately locked onto Arlo Drake’s talent root, the ’Green Root’.
"I’ve locked onto his talent root! Elder Fire, what do I do next?"
Wyatt Barnes tried hard to suppress his inner excitement, asking Elder Fire at the first moment.
Perhaps the aura emitted by Arlo Drake’s talent root was very evident to Elder Fire.
But to Wyatt Barnes, it was almost non-existent!
If it weren’t for Elder Fire’s repeated reminders, he wouldn’t have discovered the location of Arlo Drake’s talent root at all!
Exactly because of this, upon realizing his Divine Sense locked onto Arlo Drake’s talent root, Wyatt Barnes felt extremely thrilled.
"Once your Divine Sense locks onto his talent root, directly execute the Minor Devouring Technique, allowing the devouring force of the ’Minor Devouring Technique’ to gush from your hand, following your Divine Sense straight to his soul and talent root... Since you have locked onto his talent root, this process is not difficult for you."
Elder Fire promptly responded with reminders upon hearing Wyatt Barnes’s inquiry.
Just as Elder Fire’s voice fell, Wyatt Barnes had already acted accordingly.
Minor Devouring Technique!
Although Wyatt Barnes wasn’t using the Divine Ability ’Minor Devouring Technique’ for the first time, in the past he would simply devour the surrounding Spiritual Energy without any technical finesse.
This time, however, when he used the ’Minor Devouring Technique’, it was filled with technical precision.
Because this time, he was not trying to absorb the Spiritual Energy but was targeting someone’s ’Talent Root’!
The Talent Root is hidden deep within one’s soul, and unless one has reached the Saint Immortal Realm or beyond, it’s impossible to sense its existence with Divine Sense, let alone lock onto it.
But now, with Elder Fire’s assistance, Wyatt Barnes successfully locked onto Arlo Drake’s Talent Root.
The entire process went very smoothly, just as Elder Fire had said.
"Devour!"
As the devouring power, guided by Wyatt’s Divine Sense, touched Arlo Drake’s Talent Root, Wyatt couldn’t help but shout in his heart.
At the same time, he manipulated the devouring power to completely engulf the Talent Root that his Divine Sense had locked onto...
Arlo Drake’s Talent Root, a ’Green Root’, originally emitted a faint green glow, but was completely obliterated within Arlo Drake’s soul after being swept by the devouring power, as if it had never existed.
Arlo Drake’s Talent Root thus vanished from his soul!
"Elder Fire, I’ve already devoured his Talent Root... there seems to be an unusual force within the devouring power, presumably the force formed by the Talent Root. However, this force seems to be continuously dissipating! I have retracted the devouring power and allowed it to approach my soul; what should I do next?"
While communicating with Elder Fire, Wyatt controlled the devouring power to return to his own body, letting it enter his mind and approach his soul.
His Talent Root was also in his soul.
Even without Elder Fire reminding him, he knew he had to do this.
"Lead your devouring power into your soul and let it merge with your Talent Root. It doesn’t matter if you can’t sense your Talent Root, just disperse the devouring power and it will naturally touch your Talent Root."
"Don’t worry, your devouring power won’t harm your Talent Root! Next, let your Talent Root devour the power converted from his Talent Root through the devouring power..."
Elder Fire’s voice continued, adding, "As for whether your Talent Root will ultimately improve... I can’t promise!"
Initially, Elder Fire had mentioned that having a Talent Root devour other Talent Roots using the Minor Devouring Technique was just a theory.
Whether it could be successfully implemented, he wasn’t sure.
Wyatt was mentally prepared for this.
"Success or failure, it all comes down to this moment!"
Hearing Elder Fire’s words, Wyatt immediately recognized that the next moment was crucial. His heart hung in suspense.
Following Elder Fire’s advice.
"Elder Fire...The force transformed from Arlo Drake’s Green Root seems to have vanished. I’ve withdrawn my devouring power...could you take a look and see if there’s any change in my Talent Root?"
Taking a deep breath, Wyatt contacted Elder Fire, a bit anxious.
In his anxiety, there was a faint trace of anticipation.
"If you want to know if there’s any change in your Talent Root, just try sensing the Spiritual Energy, isn’t it? Even if part of his Green Root was lost during the process, it’s still a great boon for your Yellow Root!"
Elder Fire timely reminded, "If your Talent Root successfully devoured his Talent Root, then you should sense the Spiritual Energy at a notably faster rate now!"
Prompted by Elder Fire’s reminder, Wyatt instantly tried to sense the Spiritual Energy.
"This..."
After a moment, Wyatt’s expression froze, his whole being momentarily stunned, as if shocked.
Moments later, a grin spread across his face, a beam of ecstasy!
"Elder Fire! I seem to be sensing the Spiritual Energy twice as fast as before! Is this a sign of success?"
The surprise was so overwhelming that Wyatt, although thrilled, was slightly uncertain.
"Let me take a look at your Talent Root."
As Elder Fire finished speaking, Wyatt sensed a powerful Divine Sense merge into his mind and, with his permission, entered the depths of his soul.
"It’s indeed successful."
Elder Fire’s voice came at the perfect time.
Upon Elder Fire’s confirmation, Wyatt was filled with excitement, his face flushing red with joy, "It worked! It actually worked!!"
Desperate for success, Wyatt was slightly flushed when he realized it was indeed successful.
"Success is achieved... however, your Talent Root hasn’t evolved into a Green Root. Your Talent Root was originally a standard ’Yellow’, now it’s a ’Deep Yellow’... though it hasn’t transformed into a Green Root, it’s still a kind of metamorphosis. To evolve your Talent Root into a Green Root, you need to devour another Green Root!"
Elder Fire’s voice continued.
