Chapter 713: Wood origin, withering and flourishing awakening

Summer-Knowing Grass!

Two leaves, one left and one right, usually grow in early summer.

Although its grade is not high, it contains a warm flame power, especially suitable for making some Tier 1 healing pills, and has a very good healing effect on cold toxins.

When that touch of cyan green appeared, with Luo Chen's knowledge, he recognized it instantly.

Such medicinal herbs are not rare.

But what is rare is that in this cold winter day, it actually grew out at some unknown time!

Looking at the tender green leaf petals, Luo Chen was somewhat surprised.

The reason Summer-Knowing Grass is named "Summer-Knowing" is because it only grows when early summer arrives; people see this grass and know summer is coming.

And once summer and autumn pass, the Summer-Knowing Grass will wither, while accumulating strength to wait for the arrival of the next summer.

He reached out to touch the leaf petals.

Suddenly, the Summer-Knowing Grass fell limply into the white snow.

"Actually this fragile?"

Luo Chen smiled, not taking it to heart, only thinking that this Summer-Knowing Grass had misjudged the season and grew out at an unsuitable time.

He withdrew his hand, but a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and his hand froze in mid-air.

His eyes flickered with spiritual light, looking at various places in the mountains covered by white snow.

At some unknown time, spots of cyan green had appeared.

The Mirage Dragon Secret Realm is a Cave Heaven in itself, but the flow of the four seasons follows the outside world, almost identical.

In such a cold winter season, there shouldn't be so much cyan green color in this area!

"Could it be!"

Luo Chen's heart shook, subconsciously looking at the low hill not far away.

It looked unremarkable, but in reality, the surroundings were full of secret array formations set by Luo Chen!

Perhaps these arrays were not as powerful as the Mountain-Suppressing Equilibrium Array set up by Gu Daosu nearby during his sudden enlightenment, but in terms of concealment, they were top-notch.

Fu Qinglan was cultivating in that mountain!

Luo Chen pinched a magic seal, and the array slowly unfolded; as far as the eye could see, it was all cyan green!

The closer to Fu Qinglan's cultivation cave, the more lush the vegetation and grass, with vigorous vitality; even from a great distance, Luo Chen could feel it.

He subconsciously pursed his lips, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.

"Could this be the so-called wood-type origin power?"

Only this explanation existed!

Nascent Soul True Persons are strong, but they are far from reaching the level of influencing the outside environment, even if they manipulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they must cooperate with the Nascent Soul.

These vegetation and grass grow according to the seasons and the rotation of the sun and moon, relying on the origin energy of heaven and earth.

At this moment, a large amount of vegetation and grass are growing against the season, which must be because the origin energy they need is gathered in large quantities.

But the Heavenly Dao has its laws; how could origin energy be born for no reason?

There is only one explanation: Fu Qinglan has grasped the origin power, thereby snatching a large amount of corresponding energy from the ocean of energy, and because she couldn't control it well, it leaked out, finally influencing these plants that should have grown in spring, summer, and autumn to break through the soil in the cold winter.

"She finally got on the right track!"

"In this way, it wasn't in vain for me to run around for decades and guard one side."

Luo Chen showed a look of relief, then slowly closed his eyes.

The next thing is simple, just stand the last shift and wait for Fu Qinglan to leave seclusion.

This time is hard to judge; perhaps it will be very long, but it is also possible it will be very short, but there is already an answer after all.

However, just after Luo Chen closed his eyes, his heart shook.

In the Purple Mansion!

The faint withered white flame was turning from white to cyan, the flames rising endlessly.

What the appearance of this scene means goes without saying!

The Withered-Flourishing True Fire is awakening!

Its aura began to climb, a large amount of cyan flames steaming to the sky above the Purple Mansion, as if forming a cyan cloud, covering Luo Chen's Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul at this moment, because Luo Chen had set up the Withered-Flourishing Divine Prohibition earlier, was different from the usual white and tender one, appearing wrinkled.

Luo Chen's divine soul sank into it, and the Nascent Soul suddenly opened its eyes.

Running to the Withered-Flourishing True Fire, the surging vitality made the Nascent Soul's small face red.

"It finally succeeded!"

"Before, in the outside world, I thought it would only take a few years to recover. But since entering the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven, the recovery of the Withered-Flourishing True Fire has become extremely slow."

"I thought it was because this world was different from the outside, leading to this situation, and I was thinking of waiting for it to awaken after going out."

"But I didn't expect..."

The Nascent Soul muttered to itself, feeling the surging vitality emitted when the true fire awakened, feeling exceptionally comfortable.

Suddenly, Luo Chen thought of a possibility.

"Is it because I unconsciously absorbed the origin energy leaked by Fu Qinglan, leading to the premature awakening of the Withered-Flourishing True Fire?"

The more Luo Chen thought about it, the more he felt it was so!

Because the transformation of the Withered-Flourishing True Fire is from flourishing to withering, and from withering to flourishing.

The second half of the evolution requires a large amount of vitality.

Earlier, Luo Chen was afraid that the Withered-Flourishing True Fire would absorb vitality and affect his Nascent Soul, and because of the self-created cultivation method, Luo Chen also specially set up the Withered-Flourishing Divine Prohibition for the Nascent Soul, which was to prevent the Nascent Soul's vitality from leaking out.

Now, Fu Qinglan grasping the wood origin power has made up for this gap for him.

Then, just wait for it to transform naturally.

Luo Chen smiled slightly, leaving the split soul stationed in the Nascent Soul, and the main consciousness returned to the sea of consciousness.

He was very much looking forward to what level the fully recovered Withered-Flourishing True Fire would reach.

Luo Chen still sat on the snow mountain, guarding against the surroundings, to prevent anyone from coming to interrupt Fu Qinglan's cultivation.

However, another part of his attention was focused on the transformation of the Withered-Flourishing True Fire.

Time passed day by day, and the rolling mountains also began to pass through one season after another.

But unlike before, the vegetation in spring and summer was lush, and autumn and winter were also green, all because of Fu Qinglan's influence.

Luo Chen's Withered-Flourishing True Fire transformation speed also benefited from the origin power leaked by Fu Qinglan, greatly improved.

Since the time of refining, this fire had a Tier 4 initial level.

Subsequently, Luo Chen hunted a large number of demon beasts; the vast majority of their life force was absorbed by the Wither-Glory True Fire, and only a small portion fed back into Luo Chen's physical body.

With this foundation, the Withered-Flourishing True Fire could absorb many Tier 2 and Tier 3 strange fires in the Blazing Prison, and even absorbed a Tier 4 Burning Heaven Fire spirit!

If it were just like this, it would be fine; the Withered-Flourishing True Fire later absorbed a trace of Nirvana Holy Fire, and all the psychic Nether Fire of the Nether Fire Old Monster.

Even, when the Black King returned from the Coral Sea, the Tier 4 blue fire attached to the shark clan's body was also swallowed by the Withered-Flourishing True Fire.

So many fire supplements created the terrifying foundation of the Withered-Flourishing True Fire.

If discussed in terms of realm, it was at least at the Tier 4 late-stage level!

But it was precisely because there were too many fires, leading to a lack of primary and secondary, and internal mixing was too much.

Therefore, when Luo Chen was cultivating, the Withered-Flourishing True Fire actively entered the state of withering and flourishing repetition.

Attempting to digest those fires through the opportunity of withering and flourishing conversion, making it pure and unique.

Now it seems, this step was indeed taken correctly.

In just a year or two, the grade of the Withered-Flourishing True Fire was pushed to the Tier 4 late-stage level, beginning to spread step by step toward Tier 5!

Generally speaking, psychic objects, even if they reach Tier 5, are no match for Soul Transformation True Persons.

Even if there are targeted methods, Nascent Soul cultivators can take down Tier 5 psychic beings.

For example, in the Withered Wood Ridge, the Blood Loose Practitioner subdued the Tier 5 Withered Blood Vine!

But fire-type psychic objects are particularly different.

Such beings naturally have huge destructive power; once they reach Tier 5, their sharpness is far greater than ordinary psychic creatures, and even Soul Transformation great powers who haven't had time to fully grasp the power of the laws may not be their match.

Once in the Zhu Que Mountain of the Blazing Prison, the Shark Emperor Liujun dared not provoke the Zhu Que Fire Spirit, which was also the reason.

If the Withered-Flourishing True Fire could take this last step and reach Tier 5, then Luo Chen would truly have the reliance to roam the Mountain and Sea Realm!

However, this hope went wrong in the third year.

"How could this be?"

In the Purple Mansion, the Nascent Soul looked at the cyan flame that rose again and again, but then subsided again and again, his brows tightly locked.

He could feel that the Withered-Flourishing True Fire really, really wanted to take that step, but it could never cross it.

The faint consciousness of the Withered-Flourishing Fire Spirit also transmitted a vague, angry emotion.

It was as if something was restricting it.

And it was helpless.

Luo Chen thought hard, as the master, naturally wanting to help the Withered-Flourishing Fire Spirit.

Is its own accumulation still not enough?

It shouldn't be; if it weren't enough, it wouldn't transform automatically. These psychic objects are the most sensitive to their own state; unless they encounter external disasters, they can often naturally complete the transformation process.

Is it because it absorbed too many strange fires?

But after one withering and flourishing repetition, it should have been refined long ago.

Suddenly!

The Nascent Soul's bright eyes stared at the brilliant gold in the cyan flames!

Even in such a cyan cloud-covered, fire-roaring situation, that bit of gold did not fade in the slightest, still rooted within.

"Nirvana Holy Fire!"

Luo Chen's expression changed slightly.

He never expected that it would be this thing hindering the Withered-Flourishing True Fire's last step of transformation.

This wisp of Nirvana Holy Fire was obtained from the Refining Heaven Cauldron.

Originally larger in scale, but in the thousand-year struggle with the Nine Refining Beacon Fire, it was constantly worn down, and its spiritual wisdom had long since collapsed.

Therefore, when Luo Chen completed the physical Nirvana, the Withered-Flourishing True Fire actively absorbed it.

It can be said that the reason the Withered-Flourishing True Fire can automatically move toward the path of transformation is also influenced by the "Nirvana Holy Fire".

But success is also because of this fire, and failure is also because of this fire!

Its grade is too high; even if it has no consciousness, even if only a little is left, it is not something the Withered-Flourishing True Fire, which is only at Tier 4, can absorb and refine.

On the contrary, because of its existence, it hindered the Withered-Flourishing True Fire from continuing to climb to a higher realm.

"Could it be that it can only stop here?"

Luo Chen's Nascent Soul muttered to itself.

An anxious emotion came over; it was the Withered-Flourishing Fire Spirit's unwillingness.

How could Luo Chen be willing?

Clearly, it had already reached this step.

Finally, Luo Chen made up his mind!

"You and I have been together for two hundred years; I have lost much longevity because of you, and I have also achieved a great physique because of you, and I have benefited much from you along the way of cultivation and fighting."

"Now that you have this opportunity to attain the Dao, as the master, I should naturally push you!"

While muttering, all of Luo Chen's heart and soul returned to the sea of consciousness.

Swish!

His eyes opened, and a jade box appeared in front of him.

Opening the lid, the Heavenly Machine Pill, shrouded in white light, was emitting a fatal temptation to Luo Chen.

Perhaps, this is the meaning of its existence!

If it were any other time, Luo Chen would take this Heavenly Machine Pill himself, trying to grasp the true meaning of the laws like Fu Qinglan and others, achieving personal greatness.

But now, this pill will be refined by the Withered-Flourishing Fire Spirit!

Luo Chen thought very clearly, or rather, he saw it very clearly.

These Nascent Soul successors of the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect, each with decent aptitude, guided by elders, and having made various preparations in advance, still found it difficult to grasp the true meaning of the laws.

Even if he took the Heavenly Machine Pill, the chance of successfully grasping the true meaning of the laws was only fifty-fifty.

But if handed over to the Withered-Flourishing Fire Spirit, the chance of the other party reaching Tier 5 would be far greater than his grasping the true meaning of the laws.

And once the Withered-Flourishing Fire Spirit succeeded, the improvement to Luo Chen's strength would definitely not be inferior to grasping the true meaning of the laws!

The reason for being so sure.

Lies in the words that Pill Saint Chu Yan transmitted to Luo Chen when he ascended.

【Your true fire transformation is only one step away; with this Heavenly Machine Pill's help, it will be a matter of course.】

From the very beginning, this pill belonged to the Withered-Flourishing Fire Spirit.

Luo Chen did not hesitate anymore, swallowing the Heavenly Machine Pill in one gulp.

The pill entered his body, without any magic power refining, it went straight into the Purple Mansion, and was then impatiently wrapped by the Withered-Flourishing Fire Spirit.

At that moment, Luo Chen clearly felt a large amount of spiritual energy diffusing out.

The Nascent Soul was restless, but could only watch helplessly as that spiritual energy was swallowed by the Withered-Flourishing True Fire.

"Forget it! Forget it!"

Luo Chen sighed, staring blankly at the transformation and improvement of the Withered-Flourishing True Fire, hoping that day would come soon.

Seven years later.

In a cave dwelling, Shi Ju opened his eyes abruptly.

"Where?"

Qi Xiongcheng, who had lost an arm, stood respectfully on the side, saying in a low voice: "Cave Heaven outskirts, extreme north."

Shi Ju raised his brows, "Ran outside, no wonder there was no news before. Are you sure it's over there?"

Qi Xiongcheng nodded, "It shouldn't be false; this is the news sent by Wang Yifu. He said the environment over there is extremely strange; even when snow is everywhere, the plants are still lush, like spring and summer. Such strangeness, according to the Dao Sect classics, only appears when a cultivator cannot control the origin power well. That Wild Loose Practitioner snatched many phantom cores, and with Fu Qinglan having this help, it is very reasonable to reach that step."

Shi Ju showed a thoughtful look.

As the most basic one among the true meanings of the laws, origin power looks simple, but in reality, grasping it requires a lot of skill.

Fu Qinglan not controlling it well, causing the origin power to leak, is truly normal.

The only thing unexpected is that her progress is a bit fast, even Gu Daosu didn't reach this step before.

In this way...

"Let's go, go to the extreme north of the Cave Heaven!"

Qi Xiongcheng hesitated, subconsciously touching his broken arm.

With the means of a Nascent Soul True Person, reattaching a broken arm is a common occurrence, but for some reason, the broken arm slashed by that blood sword could not be reattached with ordinary methods.

Shi Ju saw his small action, his brows furrowed, "Are you afraid of the Wild Loose Practitioner?"

Qi Xiongcheng hurriedly shook his head, "No, it's just that Young Master, you have already collected enough phantom cores; you should be cultivating with peace of mind, why bother looking for trouble with them?"

Shi Ju's expression was ferocious, and he waved his hand.

"If I don't go to them, they will run away! As for cultivation, I have never worried about it in my life; what are you worrying about!"

Qi Xiongcheng was speechless.

The other party's words did have some truth; once Fu Qinglan succeeded and activated the phantom cores, she could directly leave the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven.

After going out, things would have to be done according to the rules of the Heavenly Origin Dao Sect.

As for Shi Ju's cultivation, it was not his turn to worry.

The other party had never worried about cultivation in his life, even for the difficult grasping of the true meaning of the laws, Shi Ju only took it as a sure thing.

"Am I really afraid of the Wild Loose Practitioner?"

As he asked himself, touching the truth he dared not face buried in his heart, Shi Ju had already strode out of the cave dwelling.

"Notify Wang Yifu, don't act rashly, wait for us to arrive. He is too weak and is no match for the Wild Loose Practitioner. If he alerts the enemy, I will hold him accountable!"

"Yes!"

"Is it here?"

"Should be, I followed that white eagle here; look, it's circling nearby, clearly it has sensed its enemy."

Listening to Gu Chen's words, Gu Yuan topped the heavy snow and lowered his body.

Reaching out to pull up a withered yellow grass.

"No, this grass is withered, its vitality is almost gone, it doesn't look like it has been infected by the wood-type origin power."

Gu Chen was also somewhat puzzled, only able to comfort: "Perhaps it's too far away, and this side hasn't been affected?"

Gu Yuan stood up, looking at the giant white eagle circling in the sky.

"I guess this beast found the wrong place. Calculate the time, thirty years have passed. Even if Fu Qinglan's aptitude is not good, with so many phantom cores helping, she would have long since grasped the Dao and left the Mirage Dragon Cave Heaven; how could she still stay in this vast snow mountain?"

"Should we go deeper and take a look?"

"Fine, anyway, I'm not in a hurry on this side, and I'm also exploring the Cave Heaven situation for the family. If she is really inside, maybe there's a show to watch."

Gu Yuan was indifferent, covering his aura, and gradually went deeper into the mountains covered by heavy snow following the white eagle's footsteps.

Two days later.

Their footsteps stopped.

Looking toward a mountain peak, two men were standing side by side, looking at them from afar.

"It's those two from the Lin family."

"Why are they here? Could it be because of the Wild Loose Practitioner?"

"Not clear, maybe they are aiming at this white eagle. I heard earlier that Lin Jingtang mastered a method to hunt phantom beasts, and he has gained quite a bit over the years; maybe he is eyeing this flamboyant white eagle."

"Ignore them, let's look for a bit more; if we can't find her, then we'll return; I've settled down enough."

Gu Yuan said so, continuing to move forward.

In the distance, Lin Bufan and Lin Jingtang looked at them, showing confusion.

The Gu family duo moved forward all the way, and the scenes they saw became more and more strange.

In this cold winter season, there were indeed abnormal cyan green plants appearing against the season.

But among those cyan greens, there were also large amounts of withered yellow colors.

Without external force, such abnormalities were truly puzzling.

Suddenly!

Gu Chen's footsteps paused, his golden robe hunting in the wind, blocking Gu Yuan behind him.

Gu Yuan was surprised, "What's wrong?"

Gu Chen's expression was suspicious, "I don't know why, but I have an extremely uncomfortable feeling; if we go further, maybe something bad will happen."

Feeling?

Gu Yuan frowned, spreading his spiritual sense, looking at the surroundings.

The mountains rose and fell, some high and some low.

Covered by heavy snow, silver-clad.

In the vast white, no human shadow was seen.

Except for the abnormalities of the plants, there was nothing else, right?

"You protect me a little."

Gu Yuan ordered, sitting on the ground, his Nascent Soul escaping.

In this way, he was more compatible with this piece of heaven and earth, and because he had used phantom cores to cultivate before, he was more sensitive to the spiritual energy of this realm.

The most eye-catching was the white eagle circling in the sky.

But besides the white eagle, there were two other auras that were eye-catching.

The Nascent Soul returned to the body, and Gu Yuan opened his eyes.

"Found it, the place where spiritual energy gathers!"

But after saying this, he showed a look of confusion.

"But why are there two? Shouldn't only Fu Qinglan be cultivating?"

In doubt, he greeted Gu Chen and moved forward quietly.

About a cup of tea later, the two figures stopped in a valley where the snow was half-melted and water was dripping.

The two looked up, and on a mountain top that seemed empty, a terrifying aura came.

Gu Yuan swallowed, a possibility appearing in his mind.

"How did he also enter the state of sudden enlightenment?"

Just at this time, the white eagle screamed, and the mountains rumbled.

Three figures, without hiding their auras at all, broke through the air.

Wherever they passed, the mighty magic power shook the large snow mountains until they collapsed, the commotion so great that it made people look sideways.

"Wild Loose Practitioner, found you!"

The arrogant voice echoed through the wilderness, reverberating in the mountains, shaking more snow mountains until they collapsed.

Gu Yuan took a deep breath.

"Coming early is not as good as coming coincidentally; Shi Ju and the others have found their way to the door!"
