Chapter 786 - 417: Spirit Void Blessed Island (Part 2)
Li Mu was able to successfully obtain and simultaneously plant seven types of Tier Five Spirit Plants on a large scale, largely relying on his Grandmaster Realm Artifact Refining Technique, Array Formation Technique, and the powerful backing of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.
It was with such a background and strength that he could acquire Spirit Mountain and Spiritual Lands in a place like Seven Gods Mountain, providing abundant supporting spiritual materials for the growth of numerous spirit plants.
Even with such favorable conditions, Li Mu dared not be negligent for a moment. To ensure these precious spirit plants could grow robustly, he refined seven Divinity Transformation Avatars to personally care for these spirit plants, ensuring each one received the most suitable care for smooth growth, never allowing the supply of supporting spiritual materials to slacken for a moment.
When the seven types of spirit plants mature, if all goes well, it will take nearly a hundred years. If anything goes wrong within this century, everything will go up in smoke.
Planting Tier Five Spirit Plants is already so troublesome; when planting the next batch of Tier Six Spirit Plants, one can imagine how much time and energy it will take, and how difficult it will be.
However, the Land of Extreme Yin formed by the seal beneath the Extreme North Icefield gave Li Mu hope for reducing the burden. If he discreetly opened a Spirit Field in that Land of Extreme Yin for large-scale planting of Tier Six Yin Attribute Spirit Plants, their growth speed would greatly accelerate, and he wouldn’t need to prepare supporting spiritual materials anymore, greatly saving the effort and energy spent on planting spirit plants.
With so many benefits, Li Mu immediately took this to heart.
The Profound Celestial Sword Sect will surely encircle Ice Ghost Valley entirely, Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen had him set up the array and restriction, and then sneakily find a spiritual land and claim it for himself, no problem at all.
Thinking of this, Li Mu no longer hesitated, took out a Wooden Staff—Eternal Dried Wood Staff from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, and performed Withering and Flourishing Technique on a Celestial Yin Reishi.
Li Mu’s eyes were bright, intently watching the growth status of the Celestial Yin Reishi, continuously outputting Wood Spirit Power, not daring to be negligent at all.
At this moment, the Celestial Yin Reishi was parasitic on Taiyin Spirit Wood, and with the blessing of the Withered Wood Technique, it entered a rapid growth state at a visibly quick speed. In less than half a moment, the Celestial Yin Reishi entered the mature stage, fruiting stage, gradually entering the wilting stage, with all life force gathering in the ten fruits, the Reishi body rapidly withered at a visibly quick speed, however, this wilting power did not touch the fruit of the Celestial Yin Reishi.
On the contrary, those ten fruits became more plump and mature, exuding an even more enticing fragrance.
A breeze blew by, and the fruits fell, held steadily by Li Mu’s Divine Sense, a slight force was applied, and one fruit was crushed revealing tender pulp and the seed inside, which was the spirit seed of the Celestial Yin Reishi.
Upon careful observation, Li Mu confirmed that the fruit of Celestial Yin Reishi induced by Withering and Flourishing Technique, although the spirit power and medicinal effect contained in the pulp were far less than that of naturally mature Celestial Yin Reishi, the characteristics of its seed were generally normal and should be able to continue to grow.
Harvesting 86 spirit seeds of Celestial Yin Reishi, Li Mu planted one on Taiyin Spirit Wood, holding the Eternal Dried Wood Staff, condensed mana, and continued to perform the Withering and Flourishing Technique on the spirit seed.
Soon, a miraculous scene unfolded.
Under the influence of mana, the spirit seed of Celestial Yin Reishi began to rapidly take root and sprout, the miraculous power of the Withering and Flourishing Technique spread on the Taiyin Spirit Wood, stimulating all the potential of the spirit seed.
It could be seen that the spirit seed grew at a visibly rapid speed, in just a few breaths, sprouted green buds, followed by slender stems, ..., all of which were accelerated under the catalysis of the Withering and Flourishing Technique, time was quickly pushed forward at this moment.
As the spell continued to be cast, the seedling of Celestial Yin Reishi gradually grew taller, and the leaves became more lush, dazzling life force blooming instantly, and not long after, a crystal-clear white Celestial Yin Reishi blossomed with a lively posture on Taiyin Spirit Wood, fragrance diffusing and making one relaxed and intoxicated.
Li Mu smiled satisfactorily, stopped the Withering and Flourishing Technique, and swung out a golden light, cutting the mature Celestial Yin Reishi in half.
Quickly, at the cut stem of the Celestial Yin Reishi, a faint white mist-like spirit light ball appeared, almost invisible to the naked eye.
Li Mu reached out and gently touched the faint white light ball, a log panel message appeared immediately.
[Talent Divine Power - Plant Spirit Absorption took effect, you absorbed a ball of Plant Spirit, Innate Extreme Yin Power +2]
Looking at the message prompt, Li Mu expected it, the Plant Spirit attribute absorbed from the spirit plants cultivated by Withering and Flourishing Technique was surprisingly low, since they weren’t naturally grown, it’s understandable for the Plant Spirit attribute value to be so low.
Considering the mana consumption of Withering and Flourishing Technique, Li Mu estimated that if Celestial Yin Reishi, a Tier Six Spirit Plant, was planted normally, it would take about 500 years to mature and harvest.
This time length is really too long for Li Mu.
Li Mu took a deep breath and decided to conduct the Withering and Flourishing Technique experiment on a different Yin Attribute Spirit Plant.
Li Mu’s gaze finally landed on a Tier Six Spirit Plant called Yin Spirit White Mushroom; the plant body is short, the growth cycle should be shorter, right!
Soon, under the blessing of Withering and Flourishing Technique, fuzz-like white mushrooms burst out from the roots of the whole Taiyin Spirit Wood, erupting with derivative-style frenzied expansion of Yin Spirit White Mushroom.
However, time flies by, several hours went quickly.
The whole Taiyin Spirit Wood became weak and dispirited due to long-term mana output, the originally rich Extreme Yin Power also became much weaker.
The mana consumption of the Withering and Flourishing Technique was tremendously huge; Li Mu gradually felt beyond his strength, having no choice but to put away the Eternal Dried Wood Staff and stop the Withering and Flourishing Technique experiment.
After such a long Withering and Flourishing Technique experiment, Li Mu found a Tier Six Spirit Plant with a relatively short maturity period among thirteen types of Yin Attribute Spirit Plants, but it would still take nearly four hundred years to enter the mature stage.
It’s just like this!
Li Mu frowned slightly, looking somewhat gloomy. Right now, he only found one Land of Extreme Yin, only suitable for planting Yin Attribute Spirit Plants, the whereabouts of the other six Extreme Realm Spiritual Lands are unknown.
Thinking of this point, Li Mu suddenly had a flash of insight, realizing something.
If there is no accident, the seven locations of the Seal, forming the Tier Nine Divine Array - Chaos Sealing Array, gather the Power of the Extreme Realm, after accumulating over tens of thousands of years, each place will certainly form an Extreme Realm Spiritual Land, these places will certainly be like the Land of Extreme Yin, growing large quantities of High-tier Yin Spirit Plants, even better suited for relevant spirit plants’ growth.
Thinking of Cyan Moon True Dragon holding a key to the Water Mansion Secret Realm, if there’s no accident, it should be another location of the Seal, there it should be able to plant High-tier Water Spirit Plants, then leaving five locations.
Li Mu showed slight movement in expression, took out the Purple Jade Scroll left by Tianyan Divine Monarch from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, concentrated his Divine Sense, carefully browsing the last words of Tianyan Divine Monarch.
According to the description of Tianyan Divine Monarch, that Ancient Secret Realm - ’Spirit Void Blessed Island’, located at the border of South Wilderness Spirit Realm and Central State Spirit Realm, a secluded Sea Realm, appears under certain special conditions, needing Astrology to determine, Tianyan Divine Monarch after hundreds of years of exploration and research, confirmed that Secret Realm should be a venue of a Mahayana Cultivator, having a strong array concealing it, making it suddenly appear at a predetermined time.
...
This information made Li Mu fall into deep contemplation.
"...If there is no accident, this place should be another sub-array of the Chaos Sealing Array?" Li Mu murmured to himself with his brows tightly knit, hypothesizing.
This is not a groundless hypothesis of Li Mu, but derived from the characteristics of the Chaos Sealing Array known to him, and the description of Tianyan Divine Monarch, concluding this outcome.
The Chaos Sealing Array needs to gather powers of the Seven Great Extremes, completely sealing an area for tens of thousands of years, and the description of Tianyan Divine Monarch on the Spirit Void Blessed Island matches the features of the seven sub-arrays of the Chaos Sealing Array closely.
Li Mu took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner excitement. If his hypothesis is correct, then this Secret Realm should be one of the seven seals, if it can be found, enter, and secretly plan out a small spiritual land.
If within a hundred years, all seven seal locations are found, and spiritual lands are planned out in each, planting spirit plants, then not only planting Tier Six or Tier Seven Spirit Plants, but even higher tier plants can be grown, solving many planting-related problems effortlessly.
Thinking of these, Li Mu found himself completely absorbed.
