The so-called Yellow Spring was corpse water.
The last time Ye Xiwen saw the Yellow Spring flowing was on the Demon Island. How many people had died in order to form a Yellow Spring of that scale?
The size of the yellow spring in front of them was also ridiculously large. At a glance, it was at least hundreds of li wide. One must know that after a person died, the corpse would secrete some corpse water, but the amount was pitiful. How many people had died to form such a large yellow spring? Although it was not as large as the one on the demon island, but it was enough to scare people.
The entire Yellow Spring was strangely calm. There were only three red flowers floating on the surface. They looked like inverted umbrellas, exuding a tempting fragrance. They looked extremely beautiful.
Red Spider Lilies!
Ye Xiwen took a deep breath. Although he had not seen the real Red Spider Lilies, he also knew about the legend of the Red Spider Lilies. The Red Spider Lilies bloomed for a thousand years and withered for a thousand years. The flowers and leaves were intertwined, never to meet again. The Red Spider Lilies bloomed on the other shore. What was there in front of the Bridge of Helplessness? Those who walked towards the Kingdom of Death would step on these poignant flowers to reach the netherworld.
The Red Spider Lilies were flowers that grew by the River of Forgetfulness. It was the only flower in the Netherworld. According to legend, this flower only bloomed in the Yellow Spring and was the only scenery on the road to the Yellow Spring.
Therefore, there was only one kind of flower that bloomed in the Yellow Spring, and that was the Red Spider Lilies.
He did not see the Red Spider Lilies on the Demon Island last time. He did not know if they had been taken away by someone. However, the Red Spider Lilies here were not harvested.
As the saying goes, flowers bloomed for a thousand years and withered for a thousand years. Now was the time when the Red Spider Lilies bloomed the most.
However, according to legend, didn't the Red Spider Lilies only grow on the shore of the Yellow Spring? Why were they growing in the middle of the Yellow Spring now?
But soon, Ye Mo's words confirmed his guess.
"Ye Xiwen, this is the Red Spider Lilies and the Yellow Spring. Hurry up and collect them!" Ye Mo shouted.
Ye Xiwen rushed in without hesitation. Although he did not know the use of the Red Spider Lilies, since Ye Mo said so, there must be a reason.
Ye Xiwen flew directly above the Yellow Spring and landed on the Red Spider Lilies like an eagle pouncing on its prey.
When the tip of his foot touched the lake water, there was a loud sizzling sound. More than half of his Shield of Vigor was corroded by the lake water.
Ye Xiwen didn't dare to stop. He immediately circulated his martial power to resist. At the same time, he stretched out his big hand and grabbed the Red Spider Lily's flower stem. He fiercely pulled it, but he felt his body sink. He pulled out a corpse along with the Red Spider Lily. It was an incomparably thin corpse. It had been soaked in the Yellow Springs for countless years, but it hadn't changed much. It was lifelike, just like when it was alive. It was an old man dressed in an ancient style.
Ye Xiwen discovered that the Red Spider Lily was actually growing on the corpse. This was too strange. It made his hair stand on end. However, he didn't hesitate, and directly grabbed the Red Spider Lily from the corpse.
Almost at the same time, a skinny palm chopped towards him from the sky. The old man who had been dead for a long time suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were grey, and deathly still. However, his movements were extremely fast. In fact, he was about to hit Ye Xiwen's body in an instant.
In this split second, Ye Xiwen moved. His speed was even faster. Almost in an instant, his slender white palm had already pressed on the corpse's chest.
A muffled groan that sounded like metal colliding. The corpse that had come back to life directly suffered heavy injuries and sank to the bottom of the Yellow Spring.
Ye Xiwen was secretly shocked. The corpse under the Red Spider Lily actually came back to life the moment he plucked the Red Spider Lily. Moreover, he wasn't prepared at all. If it wasn't for his Lightning Wings being perfected and his instantaneous explosive power reaching a terrifying level, he might not even be able to avoid it, let alone counterattack.
What surprised him even more was that after being soaked in the Yellow Spring for countless years, the corpse's toughness had reached a terrifying level. He knew how strong his Star Beast Avatar's physical body was. However, it couldn't shatter the corpse in an instant. On the contrary, it even let out a metal clanging sound. Although it was heavily injured, it couldn't kill the corpse in an instant.
This was already an anomaly for him. In terms of physical body alone, within the Transcendent Realm, unless his main body had also cultivated to this level, only then would he be able to suppress him. Otherwise, even if he wasn't number one, he would still be one of the top-notch ones.
It could be seen that the Yellow Spring was indeed very strange!
"What's the use of this Red Spider Lily?" Asked Ye Xiwen. He didn't recklessly snatch the other two Red Spider Lilies. From the previous experience, he knew that the other two Red Spider Lilies were most likely growing on a corpse.
Before he figured it out, he shouldn't act rashly.
"Legend has it that the Red Spider Lily grows beside the Netherworld's Yellow Spring. It means the other side of life and death. These Red Spider Lilies grow by absorbing the essence of the Netherworld's Yellow Spring day and night!" Said Ye Mo. "Generally speaking, the so-called Yellow Spring is the corpse water secreted by the corpse. It's the essence of the corpse. However, it's also extremely poisonous. If one sinks into it, not even the bones will be left. Under such circumstances, only the Red Spider Lily can grow and absorb all the essence!"
"For the Red Spider Lily to grow on a corpse, it means that the corpse's essence is condensed on this Red Spider Lily. I'm afraid that the corpse just now has already reached the Transcendent Realm. If your main body consumes it, breaking through to the Half-step Transcendent Realm wouldn't be a problem at all. It's even beneficial for Transcendent Realm experts!"
Ye Xiwen instantly became excited. No wonder Ye Mo wanted him to snatch this Red Spider Lily. Three Red Spider Lilies were definitely priceless. Of course, the specifics depended on what kind of corpse it grew on. If it was a Red Spider Lily that grew on a Great Sage's corpse, it wouldn't be of much use to Ye Xiwen now. Even so, if he sold it outside, it would still be a considerable fortune.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiwen immediately snatched the other Red Spider Lilies. With his previous experience, Ye Xiwen could be said to be extremely careful. The moment he plucked out the Red Spider Lilies, he immediately struck the corpse into the bottom of the Yellow Springs.
As expected by Ye Xiwen, the instant he plucked out the Red Spider Lily, the corpse reacted. It moved like a gust of wind. It was a Transcendent Realm expert's corpse, and it had already turned into a zombie.
Ye Xiwen's expression was a little solemn. After all, the stronger one was, the harder it was for them to turn into a zombie. After all, their physical bodies were protected by the laws of heaven and earth. It was only possible if they were in an extremely shady place.
The Yellow Spring was obviously such a place.
However, if such an expert were to turn into a zombie, it would result in a Corpse Calamity. That was the truly terrifying part.
However, before he could think about it, the Eight Stars School's experts had already rushed over. Although the earlier incident seemed to have taken a long time, it only took an instant. Ye Xiwen only managed to snatch two Red Spider Lilies before the Eight Stars School's experts arrived.
"That's a Red Spider Lily!" The Eight Stars School's Great Elder was knowledgeable. He instantly recognized that it was a Red Spider Lily. Greed flashed through his eyes, "That's a Red Spider Lily. We mustn't let Ye Xiwen get it!"
On one hand was the Red Spider Lily, and on the other hand, they wanted to kill Ye Xiwen. They decided to snatch the Red Spider Lily first. As for Ye Xiwen, he wouldn't be able to escape. Hence, it was more important for them to snatch the Red Spider Lily first.
Besides, they didn't need all of them to snatch the Red Spider Lily. Only one of them was sufficient.
Wei Mingyang immediately rushed out. He obviously knew what the Red Spider Lily was. If he could consume the Red Spider Lily, his cultivation would immediately increase by a notch. He might even be able to fight against the Transcendent Realm First Level Peak experts.
Such temptation made him unable to resist. As for the other Eight Stars School's experts, they only stared at Ye Xiwen coldly. They were preventing him from attacking Wei Mingyang and also preventing him from escaping.
"Hahaha, I'm so lucky today. I actually managed to see a Red Spider Lily. Even the heavens are helping me!" A loud laughter resounded from afar.
Following that laughter, more than a dozen tyrannical voices appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"White Sun Sect!" The Eight Stars School's Great Elder squinted his eyes.
The person who came was one of the extraterrestrial overlords, the White Sun Sect. There were dozens of Transcendent Realm experts beside him. All of them were the White Sun Sect's elites.
The Eight Stars School's Great Elder instantly recognized the middle-aged man leading the group. He was none other than the White Sun Sect's Supreme Elder, Fu Buping. Many years ago, they had fought against each other a few times. The two of them could be considered as old rivals and enemies!
"It's you?" The middle-aged man, Fu Buping, quickly saw the Eight Stars School's group. As for Ye Xiwen, he had neglected him due to him being alone. "I didn't expect to see you here. Since you're here early, you must have harvested the other Red Spider Lilies. In that case, leave this one for our White Sun Sect!"
"You …" The Eight Stars School's Great Elder was instantly enraged. What kind of logic is this? What do you mean by 'if we're here early, we'll definitely have harvested the other Red Spider Lilies'? And if we do, we'll leave this Red Spider Lily to the White Sun Sect. "If you want it, then come and snatch it with your capabilities!"
He would never give up on this Red Spider Lily. It was beneficial to Transcendent Realm experts as well. If a Half-step Transcendent Late Realm expert were to consume it, it would be much easier for him to break through to the Transcendent Realm.
