Chapter 773 - 412: Taiyin Spirit Wood
In the passage behind, a sudden muffled "bang" erupted. The sound, though light, was like a stone dropping into a calm lake, stirring ripples. The Nine Dragons Slaying Immortal Array, which once absorbed the surrounding Yin Sha Power with thunderbolt-like force, now felt as though its throat had been constricted, as the speed of absorbing the Yin Sha Power sharply dropped, nearly ceasing.
Qian Wantong’s face instantly turned pale, and he exclaimed to Li Mu, "Master Li, the restriction at the back has collapsed!"
At the same time, Wan Shaoming also turned anxiously to Li Mu, his face full of urgency, reminding, "The Yin Sha Power of the Grand Array is dissipating at an alarming rate!"
Wan Shaoming’s voice rang like an alarm in everyone’s ears, stimulating their nerves.
The surrounding cultivators were extremely tense and began to panic. They looked at the Integration Realm Demon Cultivator within the Grand Array, emitting a terrifying aura, and their hearts were filled with fear. Everyone knew that if the array lost the support of the Yin Sha Power, this powerful Demon Cultivator could break through the array’s constraints, leading to disaster for all.
Li Mu, having anticipated this, smiled slightly to ease everyone’s concerns, saying, "Do not panic, everyone. All this is within my plan."
Back when he set up the Nine Dragons Slaying Immortal Array, Li Mu had considered this thoroughly, meticulously arranging multiple backup plans. The supply of Yin Sha Power was not dependent on a single source but was jointly handled by several restrictions at the back. Among these, the restriction at the passage where the Reversing Death Spirit Grass was located was set as the primary source, intended not only for energy supply but to gradually deplete its internal restriction power, naturally breaking the restriction through the enemy’s energy use.
However, unexpectedly for Li Mu, his "old rival" would appear at this moment and, with the strength of his Integration Realm, drastically deplete the Array Power of the Nine Dragons Slaying Immortal Array, causing the initially designed restriction power to rapidly dissipate, even getting destroyed ahead of schedule.
Faced with this sudden change, Li Mu did not appear flustered. He calmly activated the array technique, effortlessly opening several other restriction passages. Immediately, a massive influx of Yin Sha Power flooded the Nine Dragons Slaying Immortal Array like a torrent, swiftly replenishing the array’s energy. Supported by this newfound strength, the previously unstable Grand Array stabilized again like a mountain, once again emanating powerful pressure.
Seeing this, the cultivators were all in awe of Li Mu’s foresight. As they gazed at the newly stabilized Nine Dragons Slaying Immortal Array, their panic and fear gradually dissipated, replaced by boundless trust and respect for Li Mu.
"Next, I shall lay another restriction. Prepare to retreat!" Li Mu turned to gesture to the cultivators.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mu immediately multitasked, maintaining the stable operation of the Nine Dragons Slaying Immortal Array to ensure its power remained unyielding against the Blood Demon Lord - Dana breaking through the array; and simultaneously, he extended his Divine Sense like invisible tentacles through layers of space, reaching towards the passage where the Reversing Death Spirit Grass was located, his Divine Sense like a delicate net, scrutinizing the status of restrictions within the passage one by one.
Meanwhile, Li Mu’s Divine Sense further penetrated that mysterious area, carefully exploring the Reversing Death Spirit Grass to ascertain its existence and whether the surrounding environment had changed.
Soon, a mystical picture imprinted itself in Li Mu’s Sea of Consciousness. He saw that on the other side of the passage was an expansive underground space, where Yin Sha Power gathered like a black torrent, forming a deep river slowly flowing overhead, emanating a pulse that seemed to hold limitless power.
Beneath the River of Yin Sha lay a forest shrouded in shadowy mist. The trees in this forest were grayish-brown, each growing tall and majestic, like ancient giants silently guarding this mysterious land. One could distinctly feel the ancient and timeless aura these Spirit Woods emitted, as though they witnessed countless eras of transition and change.
Li Mu’s Divine Sense pierced through the mist and fixed on a bare little ridge, standing alone was a unique Spirit Grass, which Li Mu recognized at a glance as the Reversing Death Spirit Grass!
This Reversing Death Spirit Grass differed greatly in growth status from other Spirit Plants, its leaves were long and slender, in pink-purple color, seventeen leaves in total, each full of mysterious strength, its stem straight and resilient, atop the Spirit Grass, blossomed a radiant flower, its petals deep purple, emitting a faint glow, Yin Spirit Qi swirling around, releasing powerful Divine Soul energy.
The environment surrounding the Reversing Death Spirit Grass formed a stark contrast with its vibrant imagery; the barren slope showed impoverished soil, with not a trace of weeds or other living organisms, as if this land poured all of its Life Force into the Spirit Grass, making it the sole beacon in barren desolation, isolating all ecological presence, further emphasizing the unique nature of the Reversing Death Spirit Grass.
As Li Mu ’observed’ this solitary Reversing Death Spirit Grass growing on the barren hill, a surge of inexplicable sentiment rose within. Only one plant, Master Qingyang and Tianyan Divine Monarch both require the Reversing Death Spirit Grass, fulfilling the Dao Heart vow at last.
Li Mu decisively made a choice following his heart. His gaze moved from the Reversing Death Spirit Grass, beginning a careful survey of this mysterious space. Besides the Reversing Death Spirit Grass, to his surprise, this space also held many rare Yin Attribute Spirit Plants. Nine Yin Spirit Grass, Celestial Yin Spirit Grass, Tier Six Spirit Plants were conspicuous, and there were even several high-tier Spirit Plants he had never seen before, like treasures, waiting for his exploration.
