All of these figures appeared to be naked cultivators. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that some parts of their bodies were made of pure gold, while others had shells and skin that resembled those of demon beasts.
Furthermore, these refined metals and shells seemed to have grown together with his flesh and blood. They were inseparable and had become a part of his body.
It felt as if these "cultivators" had been modified and implanted with pure gold and demonic beasts.
These silhouettes were suspended in the liquid inside the translucent fruit. The feeling was already extremely strange, but what was even more frightening was that these strange silhouettes were emitting a faintly discernible powerful aura.
"What the hell are these?"
Immortal Lord Tian Jiu looked at the valley, which did not even have a single weed, and only had dozens of strange plants. He looked at Yan Beigui, the King of Divine Waves, and said in horror. He did not dare to get close to these ancient plants.
"The aura of these things is in our hands." Yan Beigui, the King of Divine Waves, sensed carefully for a while, and his expression changed again.
"Could it be that all of these things are alive? Their aura is in our hands. Do they have the strength of a True Immortal? "Immortal Lord Tian Jiu took a step back, as if he had been hit hard.
"Divine Lords …" At this moment, a short old man in golden robes behind the two of them, who looked to be in his fifties, sucked in a deep breath. He gritted his teeth and said with a trembling voice, "I just happened to read an ancient record. This kind of strange thing is very similar to the spirit plant slaves of an ancient sect."
"Spiritual plant slaves? What did you read in the ancient record? " Immortal Lord Tian Jiu, Yan Beigui, and the King of Divine Waves all looked at the short old man with a cultivation of Jin Dan Level Four.
"I've read an ancient record. In ancient times, there was a sect called the Hualing Sect. They had an evil method that allowed them to 'plant' captured cultivators into specific plants, making them like fruits of the plant. They would be nourished by the plant's spiritual energy and nutrients. After that, they would be grafted onto the body parts of some demonic beasts that contained powerful Yuan Qi. They could even implant some divine metal armor into the body, or even some special talisman patterns and refined gold array formations. After these cultivators were transformed, all of them had their strength greatly increased. Furthermore, they did not have any consciousness, so they became slaves of this sect. " The short old man took two deep breaths before continuing with a pale face, "It was because this technique was too vicious, turning cultivators into plants. As a result, that sect was later besieged by many other sects and perished."
"According to the record, even if this is not a spiritual plant slave, it is something close to it." Immortal Lord Tian Jiu's eyes lit up, "Then we cultivators can control these things?"
The short old man from the Defying Fire Union shook his head and said, "This is not recorded in the ancient text I read. The ancient text I read only recorded some anecdotes from ancient times, but it did not specifically mention how to control this spirit plant slave."
"Yan Dao, what do you think?" Immortal Lord Tian Jiu thought for a moment, then looked at the King of Divine Waves, Yan Beigui, with a fervent gaze.
The thought in his mind was self-evident. There were more than forty strange spiritual plant slaves in this valley, and Yan Beigui had already confirmed that they were at least True Immortals. If they could be used by them, then in the eyes of Heavenly Lord Tian Jiu, all the other alliances in the world of cultivators would cease to exist. They would all crawl under their feet and form an unprecedented divine kingdom of cultivators. He and Yan Beigui would be the supreme beings.
"It's better if we don't touch these things." The King of Divine Waves, Yan Beigui's expression changed a few times. He was clearly very hesitant, but after taking a deep breath, he shook his head and said with a gloomy expression, "Based on what we saw along the way, it is very likely that this was the territory of the Extraterrestrial Demons, but it was destroyed by the ancient almighty. Now, according to the ancient records mentioned by Lian Dao, we have determined that this is the same thing as a spiritual plant slave. However, whether it is a spiritual plant slave or not, and whether there is any difference between it and a spiritual plant slave, we still don't know. Moreover, from what we have seen along the way, this Extraterrestrial Demon has many methods to cultivate and grow all kinds of things. For example, the Pill House we saw before didn't seem to be an ordinary Pill House. It seemed to be conducting all kinds of experiments, researching medicinal properties and new pill recipes. These spirit plant farmers were very likely to be test subjects for them. Even if they are not experimental objects, the Extraterrestrial Demons planted these spiritual plant slaves, and they have been here for tens of thousands of years. No one knew that these spiritual plant slaves would change like this. Even if we had control methods, I would not dare to test it. After all, these spiritual plant slaves are very strange, and their battle strength should be above ours. "
"Based on the battle strength of so many of us, if we only use one to test it, we should have a good chance of success." Immortal Lord Tian Jiu looked at the strange figures in the fruit and said with obvious greed in his eyes.
"How can we only use one to test it? What if they all come out? " The King of Divine Waves, Yan Beigui, glanced at Immortal Lord Tian Jiu. "If you want to try, I will not stop you, but I have to leave first. I don't want to take this risk. Even if it's these strange plants, I don't want to touch them. After all, this place is astonishingly vast. Not to mention that we've already obtained a lot of benefits, even if we don't touch this place, we might still find other benefits. "
"Yan Dao is right. If these spiritual plant slaves only have the battle strength of the third or fourth tier of the Spirit Xuan realm, we can take the risk. But now we can only play it safe and not touch these things." Immortal Lord Tian Jiu nodded and said this, but a cold look flashed across his eyes. He clearly felt that the King of Divine Waves was lecturing him, and even threatening him. He was secretly unhappy.
"Let's go." The King of Divine Waves, Yan Beigui's expression did not change, and he did not say anything. His body moved, and he kept a distance of a few hundred feet from the strange ancient plants, and flew to the other side of the valley.
Seeing him so cautious, Immortal Lord Tian Jiu and the other Jin Dan cultivators of the Defying Fire Union also carefully went around, and soon they all disappeared into this extremely strange valley.
This group of Defying Fire Union cultivators disappeared for nearly an incense stick's worth of time. "Shua!" There was a cracking sound. On the left side of the valley, a patch of red light suddenly split open, and a ray of white light with a strong force came down, as if it had broken through a restriction and entered this place.
This ray of white light was the white-robed cultivator who had encountered the killing intent of the "Daibutsu" at the beginning.
This white-robed mighty figure with indigo runes flowing over his face had fled with a large group of cultivators, but now, he was all alone. After breaking into this valley, there were no more cultivators behind him.
At this moment, he looked extremely wretched, his face was ashen, and there was a large hole in his left shoulder. Faint green Shenguang was shining inside, and it seemed to be destroying his body. His aura had weakened a lot, and his injuries were not light.
"This is?"
As soon as he landed in the valley and saw so many huge and strange ancient plants, the white-robed mighty figure's body shook violently, as if he was scared out of his wits. But after a breath's time, the white-robed almighty being's eyes were filled with joy when he saw the scene in the valley.
With a whoosh, he didn't seem to be afraid of these huge and strange ancient plants at all. He directly landed below one of the ancient plants and stood in front of a translucent berry that was as tall as two or three people.
After seeing the figure clearly, the white-robed cultivator's expression became even more joyful.
Then, the heavily injured white-robed cultivator with a large hole in his left shoulder kept flying below the giant ancient plants in the valley, carefully looking at the half-transparent berries.
After carefully looking at each of the huge ancient plants in the valley, the white-robed cultivator stopped in front of one of them. The figure inside the fruit was relatively thin and small. He was also completely naked. He looked like a skinny and short young man in his twenties. However, there was a long crack between his eyebrows that extended all the way to the tip of his nose. It was as if there was something growing inside. Once the crack opened, it would reveal itself.
Moreover, this skinny, short, and naked young man had an irregular piece of copper-green essence gold protruding from his chest. Its surface was covered with countless tiny runes that were even smaller than ants. It was impossible for a human's eyes to see them clearly.
Faint copper-green Shenguang was emitted from this piece of Essence Gold, flowing under the young man's pale skin as if it was his bloodline.
After the white-robed cultivator stood in front of the fruit, he bit the tip of his tongue, and a mouthful of essence blood and Vital Energy spurted out at the same time.
Then, the white-robed cultivator moved his hands and pointed out pieces of indigo-blue light runes.
The essence blood and Vital Energy he spurted out seemed to be devoured, and they were hidden in the indigo-blue light runes he created.
After a dozen or so breaths, the hundreds of indigo blue light talismans that he had created in succession converged into a rectangular indigo blue light talisman.
"Go!"
Following a fierce swipe of his right hand, this rectangular indigo blue talisman was like a thin knife, immediately cutting through the skin of the fruit in front of him. With a puchi sound, waves of light yellow liquid immediately flowed out. Meanwhile, his indigo blue talisman directly entered the short, thin, and pale skinned half-naked young man inside.
Almost at the same time, this young man with pale skin, a red crack between his eyebrows to the tip of his nose, and a piece of copper-green Essence Gold sticking out of his chest, opened his eyes.
