Chapter 3589: Evergreen Vine

"Our next target, which planet is it?" Li Qianjiao also asked Ye Liuyun.

The remaining three planets each possess Primordial Power of the Metal, Wood, or Earth attribute. Ye Liuyun felt he had no advantage in any of them.

"Then choose the Wood attribute; at least you have fire, so if you face a too-strong opponent you can burn them directly!" Li Qianjiao suggested.

"Alright!"

Ye Liuyun had no objection, and immediately set off with Li Qianjiao toward the Wood‑attribute planet.

The whole planet was almost entirely covered by green vegetation, though there were also patches of plants of other colors.

Ye Liuyun was using his Golden Pupil to scout a landing site when suddenly both his and Li Qianjiao's Divine Sense detected continuous fluctuations at the entrance of a Secret Realm.

When Ye Liuyun saw that they were people from Duanmu Hall, he felt not worried but pleased, thinking he could annihilate them here. Li Qianjiao, however, counted the numbers and her brows gradually knit together.

"They've brought quite a few this time; it looks like another fierce battle!" Li Qianjiao, knowing how many people Ye Liuyun had in his Space World, saw the opponent's numbers nearly double theirs and couldn't help but worry.

"No need to worry; they weren't our opponents before, and now they're even less so!" Ye Liuyun was truly untroubled, knowing he could rely on Blue Lotus.

"Victory is certain, but I'm afraid they've come prepared this time, perhaps with powerful weapons!" Li Qianjiao analyzed.

"Let them be; we'll focus on our own business and let them come to us themselves."

Ye Liuyun said so, and led Li Qianjiao straight toward the planet's landing point.

The people of Duanmu Hall had already been spotted by some, who prepared for battle; seeing them head toward a densely forested planet, they assumed they were looking for a place to hide.

"Everyone, stay on high alert; we must not let that kid escape!" a leading Demon Cultivator shouted, leading the group to chase after Ye Liuyun.

"Huh? Isn't this the Five Elements Cave? There should be five planets, right? Why are there only three left?" some Demon Cultivators, previously familiar with the area, couldn't help their curiosity.

"Is it related to that kid, or has it been like this for a long time?"

They all speculated for a moment, yet knew nothing of the truth.

Ye Liuyun hadn't fled or hidden at all; his Golden Pupil spotted a vine‑like plant that was hunting a ferocious beast, quickly entangling it.

It seemed the vine possessed sentience. Curious, he descended to investigate, thinking that finding a plant similar to Magic Vine would greatly aid his future battles.

"I wonder how the Magic Vine is doing now!" he muttered to himself.

Taixu World is vast; finding a single person is like searching for a needle in the ocean. So he didn't expect to locate it, and would just wait until they met.

The green vine absorbed energy in a way similar to Magic Vine, drawing power from the beast's body, but its absorption speed was far slower than Magic Vine's.

Yet the vine seemed especially sensitive; before Ye Liuyun and Li Qianjiao could approach, it had already sensed them and began spreading vines around, preparing to hunt the two of them.

"This vine's sentience doesn't seem low!"

Ye Liuyun reflected inwardly and immediately employed Time Power, fearing that the pursuing Duanmu Hall Demon Cultivators would disturb his harvesting of the vine and might clash with each other.

Once Time Power activated, Ye Liuyun rushed out, located the vine's root and stalk, and yanked it out by the roots for close inspection.

"This thing does differ from Magic Vine; its root and stalk are thick and long, unlike Magic Vine, which sprouts from a round seed and grows outward in both directions."

Ye Liuyun recalled the original state of Magic Vine before it transformed into a demon, and compared it with this vine.

However, Ye Liuyun was troubled about how to subdue this vine. Facing a plant without Divine Sense, he also...

... didn't know how to proceed. At most, he could threaten it with Fire Flame Power.

Suddenly, he recalled the Tree Demon and Flower Demon in his Space World and sought their counsel.

"Then you should first scare it a bit, make it behave, and then let us communicate with it," the two said, noting they'd need to assess the situation.

So Ye Liuyun went out again, uprooted all its vines, and brought them into his Space World. Upon entering the Space World, the vine's time synced with Ye Liuyun's, restoring its mobility.

However, it realized it was held in Ye Liuyun's hand, surrounded by Golden Crow flame, so even though it could move, it dared not attack Ye Liuyun.

"Stay here obediently, or I'll burn you to ash!"

Ye Liuyun threatened it once more, then tossed it into the soil. The vine, once in the earth, immediately retracted its branches, becoming a small canopy‑like plant, even discarding the previously captured beast.

The beast was instantly turned to ash by Ye Liuyun's flame, its energy not drained but its life directly incinerated.

The vine, seeing Ye Liuyun truly daring to burn it, became even more hesitant to act. At this moment, the Flower Demon and Tree Demon also gathered and communicated with him.

After a while, the Tree Demon replied directly to Ye Liuyun: "It doesn't want to follow you; it prefers the environment it previously lived in. However, it can give you several vine segments and let those vines serve you in battle."

"Can its vines survive on their own?" Ye Liuyun asked the Tree Demon for confirmation.

"Exactly! This vine is called Evergreen Vine; its vitality is extremely robust— even a single segment, as long as it can absorb nutrients, can survive and grow."

"However, the vines given to you must be cultivated and strengthened by yourself; otherwise they won't be effective in attacking others!" the Tree Demon confirmed.

"Alright then. I'm not compelled to capture it. Since its vines are usable, I can release it," Ye Liuyun agreed.

So the Evergreen Vine shook off two vine segments from its body, leaving them for Ye Liuyun, and told him that a drop of blood would bind it as his master.

Ye Liuyun refined one segment and found it indeed effective, but the vine was still weak, lacking combat power; using it now would be futile, so he could only keep it and nurture it slowly.

Later, he sent the Evergreen Vine back, and then restored the Time Flow Speed.

"Huh?"

Li Qianjiao only felt her vision flicker as the vines surrounding them vanished.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun held a similar vine segment in his hand and handed it to her.

"Drop a drop of blood on it to bind it as your master!" Ye Liuyun told Li Qianjiao directly.

"How did you deal with this thing?" Li Qianjiao asked curiously of Ye Liuyun.

"No need to confront it; I communicated via Divine Sense, and it sensed the Blue Lotus aura in my Sea of Consciousness and fled on its own!" Ye Liuyun fabricated.
