"En, en! I feel that we might have found a treasure this time." Little Ao Jiao nodded her head vigorously. Her smiling face was filled with anticipation.
The ten half-step Emperor Wu Grade Forbidden Lands had been empty-handed. The two of them were rather dispirited. Now that they had made a discovery, they naturally could not contain their excitement.
After observing for a long time, they discovered that the ice fishes eating were all very relaxed, not showing any signs of worry.
Xiao Chen made his decision and swam over silently. However, he was still very careful, not daring to relax at all.
The water plants stretched out as far as the eye could see. Humans were as insignificant as ants in this place. Xiao Chen observed carefully and discovered that the roots of the water plants did not penetrate into the ice. Instead, they were intertwined like a fishing net, crisscrossing and looking very complicated.
However, Ao Jiao did not have as many worries as Xiao Chen. She was currently holding a jade bottle and working hard to collect these Spiritual Light Dew Beads, very busy.
If only Little Yellow Feather was here. Looking at the lonely Ao Jiao, this thought appeared in Xiao Chen's mind for no reason.
Unfortunately, the Solar Divine Flame, a legendary divine item, had long gone extinct.
"Ao Jiao, do you know what this is?" Xiao Chen asked as he collected his thoughts and swam over.
"Hehe! I don't know!" Ao Jiao replied without turning her head. Collecting these Cold Light Dew Beads was even more difficult than collecting the dew from the mountains. One needed to be very focused.
Xiao Chen smiled and sent a voice projection, "You don't even know? Why are you so happy collecting them?"
"Stupid. Didn't you discover what's special about these dew beads? Cold, extremely cold. If you can collect enough of this dew, it would be more suitable for quenching than any water I know. "
Quenching!
This was the final step in the forging of any weapon. Xiao Chen only recalled it after hearing Ao Jiao's reminder.
No wonder Ao Jiao had been thinking about the materials needed for forging a Divine Weapon. She would definitely have thought of this step before him.
"If we use these Spiritual Light Dew Beads to quench the water, the quality of the Divine Weapon will increase by at least thirty percent."
Hearing Ao Jiao's words, Xiao Chen's face lit up and he immediately joined in the collection.
This was indeed an unexpected harvest. Although he did not obtain a Magic Skill, the mysterious dew he obtained would greatly increase the chances of the Lunar Shadow Saber entering the Divine Weapon Ranking in the future.
Although collecting the mysterious dew was troublesome, he would get used to it after a few times.
Xiao Chen quickly thought of a solution. He spread out his Saber Domain, and everything within one kilometer was under his control. Under his control, the tiny dewdrops shot into the jade bottle in his hand like bullets.
Ao Jiao was not envious of such a simple and crude method. She preferred to collect them one by one. It gave her a special sense of accomplishment.
While the two of them were happily busy with their work, they didn't notice that the large shoal of ice fishes had quietly dispersed even though it was obvious that they hadn't eaten their fill.
"Xiao Chen, we should have collected enough dew," Ao Jiao said with a smile as she held her jade bottle.
Xiao Chen glanced at the vast field of water plants and smiled. "There's no rush. This is a vast treasure trove. We have not even obtained one ten-thousandth of it." "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
At this moment, the seaweed beneath their feet suddenly moved, shooting up like a fishing net. Before the two of them could react, the seaweed suddenly moved. Before the two of them could react, the water plants wrapped around their limbs, continuously pulling them upward.
Xiao Chen's expression changed drastically. He did not rush to free himself. Instead, he shouted at Ao Jiao, "Quickly, come in."
A light flashed, and Ao Jiao turned into a sharp beam of light and entered the Lunar Shadow Saber.
Xiao Chen relaxed and calmly observed his current situation. Water plants covered tens of thousands of kilometers around. The water plants for tens of thousands of kilometers weaved into a net, looking like flower petals.
"Break!"
The situation was urgent. Xiao Chen gathered the saber intent in his Saber Domain and held the Lunar Shadow Saber in a reverse grip. Then, he looked around his left hand.
However, to his surprise, the water plants were not hard. However, they were unimaginably tough, giving his unstoppable saber a strong resistance.
After a long time, Xiao Chen finally managed to extricate himself from the water plants. However, he was already surrounded by them.
The water plants were densely packed, layered over each other. Xiao Chen, who wanted to charge out, chopped down one layer. However, there was another layer.
The surroundings were filled with dewy water plants. The dewy water droplets gathered and settled down, looking like a misty flame.
"How troublesome. Am I going to be trapped here?"
Xiao Chen tried many times. However, he discovered that no matter what he did, he could not chop down all the water plants in one go and create an opening.
As for breaking space, there was a strange pressure in this cold water. The structure of space was even more stable than in the Kunlun Realm.
I only have one move left. Xiao Chen thought. That move gathered everything in the Saber Domain onto the saber.
However, Xiao Chen had not succeeded even once. He was not confident of using it at this critical moment.
Xiao Chen, don't panic. There is an exit above. There is still an exit above.
At the crucial moment, Ao Jiao's voice rang out in his mind.
That was right. The water plants soared into the air from the ice and gathered together. As long as they did not completely gather together, there would always be an exit above.
Go! Every second counted. Xiao Chen executed his Movement Technique to its limits. He became like a purple lightning dragon leaping into the air.
The instant all the water plants gathered together, Xiao Chen leaped out in the time it took for a spark to fly. Then, he soared up and landed heavily on the ice.
The Lunar Shadow Saber could not stab into the ice. Due to inertia, Xiao Chen tumbled back one kilometer before he flipped over and stood up.
Xiao Chen stood upright while holding his saber. The fatigued Xiao Chen did not relax after escaping. Instead, he warily looked to the front.
The water plant was ten kilometers tall. Its roots were very thick. As it stood tall on the ice, it pierced deep into the ice.
The water plant was ten kilometers tall, and its roots were very thick. As it stood tall on the ice, it pierced deep into the ice.
A faint fiery light flowed on the surface of the water plant.
When the amount of the mysterious dew reached billions of grains, it actually formed a terrifying Ice Flame.
This also explained why Xiao Chen and the others had collected so much dew but had not condensed it into a flame. The quantity was far from enough.
What kind of flame is this? Why do I feel that it is even stronger than the Lunar True Flame? Ao Jiao revealed a strange expression in her eyes, unable to understand it.
Flames were divided into Yin and Yang. Of the Yin flames, the Lunar True Flame was undoubtedly the strongest.
However, before the Primal Chaos split, before Yin and Yang were separated, there should have been flames in the universe.
This mysterious flame before Xiao Chen should be one of the flames that existed during the Primal Chaos of the universe. In terms of grade, it was no weaker than the Lunar True Flame.
This was a flame seed that the Sky Dome Immortal Lord personally found in the great universe during the Immortal Epoch.
As for what this flame was called, Xiao Chen did not know. After so much time had passed, such a cosmic-level flame no longer existed.
The only reason he knew about this fragmented information was because he had read about it in an extremely ancient, incomplete book.
He looked at the thick layer of ice under his feet. Even the Lunar Shadow Saber could not split it. Xiao Chen guessed that there had to be a flame seed here.
Furthermore, that water plant was also a divine item from the Immortal Epoch. To think that it could take root in the ice and grow such a large patch of water plants. Just this point alone was sufficient to show how extraordinary it was.
Great! Great! Great! Although I did not find a Magic Skill, my harvest today is even greater than finding a Magic Skill!
Xiao Chen revealed excitement in his eyes, feeling incomparably joyful.
However, the problem now was how to make a move. Be it this water plant or the flame seed hidden somewhere, they would not be easy to obtain.
"Xiao Chen, what should we do?!" Ao Jiao asked unwillingly as she flew out and looked at the mysterious water plant.
The feeling of seeing a treasure but not being able to obtain it was unbearable.
Faced with Ao Jiao's problem, Xiao Chen did not have a good solution. "There's no rush. Let's take it slow. This water plant should scatter. When it scatters, I'll think of something. It is too dangerous to go over now."
After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen swung the Lunar Shadow Saber at the roots of the water plant with a 'whoosh.'
While this looked like a casual toss, in reality, Xiao Chen used his full power. He drove most of the remaining Primordial Energy in his body and infused it into the saber.
Before Xiao Chen's expectant gaze, the Lunar Shadow Saber instantly descended. It gave off an unparalleled sharp saber intent and stabbed the ice by two centimeters.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Chen only wanted to leave a mark. As long as he succeeded, it would be fine. He had exhausted a lot of his Primordial Energy. Now, he had no choice but to leave.
The instant Xiao Chen left the water again, he truly relaxed.
He fell to the ground and did not get up. He just lay there and rested. Each time he entered the water, he was frightened to death. This simple forbidden land exhausted him.
"What a beautiful flower bud!"
In his half-asleep state, Xiao Chen heard Ao Jiao's soft cry. So he quickly opened his eyes.
Xiao Chen saw a golden, translucent stem, about a millimeter thick, in the middle of the lake. At the tip of the stem, there was an exquisite flower bud that looked like a bell. The flower bud was pale white, and its stem was as thin as silk. There were hundreds or thousands of them hanging down, looking like white snow, pure and beautiful.
Unexpectedly, this was the scene of the huge water plant after it crossed the lake.
Xiao Chen's mind trembled, and he stood up, no longer feeling sleepy.
Back on Heavenly Star Island, for the sake of dealing with the fake Buddhist sect that the Kṣitigarbha Bodhisattva supported, Xiao Chen had read some Buddhist scriptures.
This flower bud looked like one of the Three Holy Masters Flowers, the Udumbara Flower. The other two were the Asura Lotus and the Brahma Cloud Bodhi.
The Three Holy Masters Flowers of the Buddhist sects aside from the status they represented and their various mythical origins, each of them had boundless wondrous uses.
The lotus cultivates the Magic Skills, the bodhi comprehends the Dao, and the Holy King appears when the flower blooms.
The first two sentences were easy to understand. It was just that cultivating on the lotus could increase one's cultivation. Using the bodhi to comprehend the Dao could strengthen the comet core, achieving twice the results with half the effort.
The flower blooms, and in that instant, a Holy King will undergo nirvanic rebirth. In layman's terms, the flower can bloom and be reborn, which is equivalent to having another life.
"It turns out that there is an Udumbara Flower seed under the ice. No wonder it can penetrate the ice and bloom everywhere."
At this moment, Xiao Chen's expression turned incredibly grave. No matter what, he had to obtain this seed.
If it really had the effect of rebirth, then no matter how difficult his Great Tribulation of wind and fire was, he would have a ninety-nine percent chance of clearing it. However, even after using his full power, he could only break through two centimeters of the ice. He could not extract the Udumbara Flower seed at all.
