Chapter 1005: The Bold Evil Cultivator!
Chapter 1005: The Bold Evil Cultivator!
"Then I'll leave it in your capable hands, my friend."
The Tree Maiden spoke slowly, and the faint Mysterious Sealed Barrier aura gradually faded away.
The Little Tree Maiden immediately returned to her usual whimpering state.
"Take me to find that Luminescent Tree Disc."
Lu Xuan conveyed his thoughts to her.
A verdant Spirit Light emerged from the Little Tree Maiden's body, and she burrowed into the ground, which was covered in thick layers of dead leaves.
Lu Xuan followed closely behind her.
Within the Great Quintessence Art he had cultivated, there was a Quintessence Escape Technique, so he felt at ease and agile after entering the Subterranean World.
After a moment, the Little Tree Maiden stopped in front of a massive tree root.
The tree root's diameter exceeded a hundred zhang, and countless root tendrils of various lengths spread out in all directions, creating a peculiar space.
Sensing the auras of the Tree Maiden and Lu Xuan, the center of the tree root's spiritual energy rippled like water, and a faint green, blurry human figure emerged.
"Fellow Daoist Lu Xuan?"
An aged voice echoed in the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.
"Indeed, it is I. Greetings, fellow Daoist."
Lu Xuan hurriedly bowed in greeting.
"I dare not accept such praise. I'm merely a humble tree spirit in this Subterranean World."
"Did you come here for the Luminescent Tree Disc, fellow Daoist Lu? The treasure is being nurtured within this ancient tree root. Please wait a moment, and I'll retrieve it for you."
The faint green figure blurred and merged into the massive tree root.
Soon, a peculiar tree disc was extracted.
The tree disc was small and exquisite, containing countless emerald green lines within it. The closer to the center, the denser the lines became.
Countless lines seemed to move randomly like headless flies, but upon closer inspection, with Lu Xuan's array path insights gained from absorbing the experiences of multiple Star River Array Charts, he could vaguely discern the hidden Forbidden Rules within.
"I never expected that after nurturing the Luminescent Tree Disc for so many years, there would come a day when it would be put to use."
"I still need to trouble you, fellow Daoist Lu, to help me set up this Luminescent Tree Disc."
The green figure sighed and bowed deeply to Lu Xuan.
"Rest assured, fellow Daoist. I will not let you down."
Lu Xuan smiled slightly, exuding confidence.
Following her lead, he traveled through the Subterranean World, gradually finding seven Luminescent Tree Discs one after another.
Upon returning to the surface, he felt a slight movement in his storage bag.
Lu Xuan's mind stirred, and a messaging talisman appeared in his hand.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, are you well? That Vine Demon suddenly went berserk, and after it calmed down, we lost sight of you. I've been worried about you, my friend."
Guo Bingqiu's deep voice resonated from within the talisman.
Lu Xuan cleared his throat and organized his thoughts.
"Thank you for your concern, fellow Daoist Guo. I'm safe and sound."
"After escaping that terrifying Vine Demon, I got trapped in a Sealed Barrier and need some time to free myself. Once I escape, I'll rejoin you."
Leaving a message behind, he chose not to respond and directly returned to the Gateway's location.
During this time, he sensed Guo Bingqiu's aura through his spiritual sense, but Lu Xuan decided to avoid them.
Soon, he arrived at the border between the Gateway and the Tree Realm's core area.
A pure white flower appeared in Lu Xuan's hand. The flower quietly bloomed, and the Flower Seductress sleeping within awakened, stretching her body before transforming into a transparent ray of light and disappearing from Lu Xuan's sight.
At the same time, scenes observed by the Flower Seductress appeared on the flower petals.
"There are still quite a few cultivators searching for spiritual herbs in this area."
Witnessing this, Lu Xuan's courage grew.
He walked boldly among the towering trees, pretending to search for treasures.
Suddenly, a spiritual sense scanned his body as he had anticipated. After confirming there was nothing unusual, it swiftly departed.
As expected, only Tricksters are suitable for such tasks. If a Plant Demon were to come, the target would be too obvious. If they were discovered by patrolling cultivators, they would face endless pursuit, leaving no time to set up the Luminescent Tree Disc.
Lu Xuan conducted a preliminary experiment, following the guidance of the Little Tree Maiden, and arrived at the first location to bury the Luminescent Tree Disc.
He set up a Sealed Barrier, took out the Luminescent Tree Disc, and activated it according to the instructions of the Profound Apex Tree Mother.
The emerald lines within the tree disc immediately became incredibly active, frantically surging into the ground.
Through his spiritual sense, Lu Xuan perceived that the vitality of the area was gradually increasing, but the increment was minuscule, like a subtle nurturing.
"Now, we just need to patiently wait for the tree disc to fully integrate."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
The process of setting up the Luminescent Tree Disc was so subtle that even a Core Formation Cultivator's spiritual sense would struggle to detect it unless they were searching up close.
However, the critical issue was that the entire process took a considerable amount of time. Any slight disturbance from the outside might cause all their efforts to go to waste.
Lu Xuan's spiritual power stirred, and the Gold Thread Lightning Robe on his skin became more prominent, isolating his aura.
He controlled his incarnation, Ling Gu, to stop several li away, also concealing his presence.
Time passed slowly. After about half a day, the Luminescent Tree Disc completely merged into the ground.
Lu Xuan's tense heart finally relaxed.
Time was pressing, leaving no room for rest. He quickly arrived at the second location designated by the Profound Apex Tree Mother.
After a similar amount of time, the second Luminescent Tree Disc was successfully set up.
The third, fourth...
Up until the fifth one, an unexpected twist occurred.
The closer they got to the Gateway entrance, the more numerous and powerful the patrolling cultivators became.
Due to the secluded location, there were far fewer cultivators searching for spiritual herbs and treasures in this area. As a result, Lu Xuan couldn't act as openly as before and had to constantly hide his presence.
Through his spiritual sense, he perceived three patrolling cultivators rushing towards his direction. According to their patrol route, they would pass right above where the Luminescent Tree Disc was buried.
At such close proximity, Lu Xuan couldn't guarantee that the tree disc wouldn't be detected by them.
Instantly, a plan formed in his mind.
With a thought, a blood-red beam shot into the sky in front of the three cultivators.
The blood light lingered, as if it had a life of its own, swirling frantically.
Wherever it passed, all living beings' auras rapidly vanished, merging into the blood light.
"Blood Path Secret Art?! Could it be that bizarre evil spirit in the hands of the evil cultivator Ling Gu?"
The leading Core Formation True Man among them halted in the air, his expression turning solemn as he watched the blood light rushing towards them like lightning.
"Form the array and prepare for battle!"
The three cultivators braced themselves, their expressions grave.
In the blink of an eye, the blood light arrived, resembling a monstrous beast with a gaping maw, emitting a putrid stench as if it wanted to devour the three of them whole.
Two shadows, one black and one white, flashed past, and the cultivators' souls seemed to be seized by something, showing signs of detachment from the depths of their Sea of Consciousness.
Among them, the two cultivators with relatively weaker cultivation had blank expressions, appearing lost and confused.
Immediately after, a thick pink rope silently swam towards the three cultivators. Countless desires emerged in their minds, as if they were about to sink into an endless sea of lust.
A Pure Spirit Pendant tied around the waist of the leading middle-aged cultivator silently shattered, and a faintly glowing spiritual light swept over them, instantly clearing their minds.
"You audacious evil cultivator! How dare you attack patrolling cultivators!"
The leader's face flushed with anger.
