Lu Xiaotian knew he couldn't stay in the Tiansang Wasteland forever. He'd have to leave sooner or later. Once he did, Yan Ji would come looking for him again. Now that he had the identity of the Nether Withered Silkworm, it would be a pity if he didn't go for the Tears of Mulberry Spirits. It was one of the three sacred items of the Mulberry Spirits. It would be great if he could see it with his own eyes.
Considering another important factor, Lu Xiaotian quickly made a decision. Whether it was Jiangchen Tiandu, Yan Ji, or the Nether Withered Silkworm, none of them were easy pickings for the Heavenly Court. Sooner or later, he'd be on the opposite side of the Heavenly Court. It wasn't a matter of whether he wanted to or not, but he'd cultivated a true dragon's body and wouldn't be tolerated by the Heavenly Court. The longer Lu Xiaotian stayed in the world of immortals, the more he felt the Heavenly Court's pressure on the dragons.
In the past, Lu Xiaotian's cultivation hadn't been prominent. He'd only been an immortal when he'd entered the world of immortals. He was far from being a threat to the Heavenly Court.
Although Lu Xiaotian's cultivation wasn't outstanding, he could fight a celestial immortal with the help of the Dragonwolf Cavalry. His nascent spirit was close to reaching the golden immortal level. Lu Xiaotian had played a crucial role in Jiangchen Tiandu's plot to steal the Nether Withered Silkworm's remains in the Nether Withered Sea.
Lu Xiaotian thought he'd begun to reach a sufficient level. He had to consider his future relationship with the Heavenly Court.
Perhaps with more experts like the Nether Withered Silkworm and Yan Ji attracting the Heavenly Court's attention, he'd have more time and space to grow.
After cultivating to a certain level, Lu Xiaotian's vision and thoughts were much broader than before. He didn't have to wait for the Heavenly Court to find trouble with him in the future. He could do his best to create a favorable situation for himself before the Heavenly Court discovered he'd cultivated a dragon's body.
Lu Xiaotian wasn't alone. Xiang Qingcheng, Little Fire Crow, Little White Dog, Realmbreaker Bug, Black Void Ant, Little White Python, Qing Ming, and Mo Yuyan were all with him. If something were to happen to his side, he would not be the only one who would be threatened.
In addition, after his encounter with the Nether Blight Silkworm and Jiangchen Tiandu, Lu Xiaotian realized that he could not use his totemic power carelessly against Golden Immortals or old monsters beyond the Golden Immortal level. Otherwise, it would be easy for others to see through him.
Lu Xiaotian recalled that Jiangchen Tiandu had said he'd help him retrieve the Tears of Mulberry Spirits, but there'd been no news of him afterward. An old monster at his level of cultivation wouldn't lie about something so trivial. However, other than the jade scepter that could help Lu Xiaotian withstand the totemic backlash three times, Jiangchen Tiandu hadn't left anything else behind. Lu Xiaotian immediately took out the jade ruyi.
As expected, Jiangchen Tian had left a message inside. Using the aura of the Sky Mulberry Fruit to search for the Tears of the Mulberry Spirit would be very helpful.
Lu Xiaotian repeatedly pondered in his heart for a while. He did not know what the relationship between this Sky Mulberry Fruit and the Tears of Mulberry Spirit was. For a moment, he could not figure it out. A wave of magical power came from afar.
"It's a team of empyrean immortals and a Mulberry Spirit warrior." Lu Xiaotian's eyes flickered. Even though the Sky Mulberry Forest greatly interfered with consciousness, it was still easier to probe further with a powerful nascent spirit.
It looked like the team had run into some trouble. Lu Xiaotian could only sense two people. Though they'd shaken off the silkworm terracotta from before, they'd run into a Mulberry Spirit warrior.
Although they were outside the Nether Silkworm Cave and were surrounded by colorful Sky Mulberry Trees, once they were discovered, the vile conditions here were no less than the outside world. The fact that the Sky Mulberry Forest was known as the Mulberry Spirit Tribe was proof of their strength. Even though the Venerated Nether Blight Silkworm was hibernating all year round, it wasn't something a few ordinary empyrean immortals could take lightly.
Even if these empyrean immortals had cultivated the Absolute Divine Robe and were far stronger than ordinary empyrean immortals.
A longbow-wielding Mulberry Spirit warrior was currently engaged in a fierce battle with Cen Ming. The Mulberry Spirit warrior was clad in green armor and wielded a longbow. He only shot out one arrow with each bow. There was no rain of arrows, only a single arrow shot out from the void towards Cen Ming like a white rainbow piercing through the sun.
At that moment, it was as though a hole had been shot out from the void. Cen Ming swung his saber thrice in the void to block the arrow's momentum. However, it was only one arrow from the opponent.
The thick-browed and big-eyed Mulberry Spirit warrior waved the longbow in his hand. The empty bowstring connected and shot out ripples in the void like a mighty torrent. Under the torrent, Cen Ming seemed to be somewhat alone.
The two empyrean immortals were engaged in a fierce battle. Yue Feng, the empyrean from the Mulberry Spirit Tribe, was clearly more skilled. The ripples from the bowstring occasionally shot out an astonishing arrow. Although the attack looked extremely simple, it made Cen Ming, who had already taken out several immortal artifacts, somewhat flustered. Two of the ripples even slashed Cen Ming's body, but they were blocked by his Absolute Divine Robe. This treasure cultivated with the dragon soul as the price was indeed extraordinary.
Cen Ming's strength was obviously weaker than Yue Feng's, but he relied on the Absolute Divine Robe to fight evenly with his opponent.
On the other side, Zhao Ruhai, who had a relatively fiery temper, was engaged in a fierce battle with a group of Mulberry Spirit warriors.
The leader of these Mulberry Spirit warriors was a heavily injured white-haired old man. Judging from his aura, his strength should have been quite strong, not inferior to Zhao Ruhai, Cen Ming, and the other empyrean immortal level warrior. However, he was too heavily injured. At that moment, he was leading more than twenty Xuan immortals to form a battle formation, but he could barely contend with Zhao Ruhai. Due to his heavy injuries, he was more useful in coordinating the battle formation in his battle with Zhao Ruhai. His true combat strength was stronger than ordinary empyrean immortals, but it had not reached the level of empyrean immortals.
However, the battle formation of the Mulberry Spirit Tribe was unusual. There was a huge mulberry leaf above the twenty empyrean immortals, vaguely forming an inseparable whole.
Lu Xiaotian had already consumed the Sky Mulberry Fruit. Through the Sky Mulberry Fruit, he could clearly sense that there was an existence similar to a mulberry leaf in each of these Mulberry Spirit warriors. It came from the same source as the aura of the Sky Mulberry Fruit in his body, but it was not as strong as the Sky Mulberry Fruit.
Zhao Ruhai slashed with his sword, and endless frost filled the void. The Sky Mulberry Forest on the ground was also covered in a thick layer of frost. It was freezing cold in front of him.
Under the blade of the sword, countless pieces of frost slashed toward the twenty or so Tiansang Tribe warriors like sharp shards. At that moment, the twenty Mulberry Spirit warriors were wrapped in a circular light shield. It seemed to be an impenetrable defense, but this circular light shield seemed to be getting weaker and weaker under Zhao Ruhai's rapid attacks.
With a boom, the circular light shield fell to the ground with the twenty Mulberry Spirit warriors wrapped in it. Lu Xiaotian hesitated for a moment before approaching them. Although the spiritual feeling that the Sky Mulberry Fruit gave him was much weaker than when he had obtained the Gougu in the Netherworld Withered Sea, it had not disappeared. Lu Xiaotian felt that he could become one with the Mulberry Forest. He also felt that the aura of the Mulberry Spirit warriors in front of him was very close to him.
Lu Xiaotian could even manifest the appearance of the Mulberry Spirit warriors without using too many techniques with just a thought. He did not feel strained at all.
Correspondingly, Lu Xiaotian was obviously more repulsed by Zhao Ruhai and Cen Ming, who were Celestial Immortal experts from the Heavenly Court.
Lu Xiaotian quietly approached the twenty Mulberry Spirit warriors. As he approached, Lu Xiaotian's body kept changing. Soon, he manifested the appearance of a Mulberry Spirit warrior. This Mulberry Spirit warrior and his companions had mostly died in the conflict with the Immortal Army. At that moment, Lu Xiaotian manifested his appearance without any pressure.
