Chapter 1053: Soul Stealer Jade
After nurturing all the seventh-rank spirit plants, Lu Xuan arrived before the only sixth-rank spirit plant in the Cavern World, the Divine Nourishing Tea.
Compared to when he last left, the emerald tea tree had grown significantly. Its branches and leaves resembled pale green crystal, with a clear radiance flowing over its surface, instilling a sense of calm and tranquility.
"The Divine Nourishing Tea has entered its maturation stage. Once I’m done with everything, I can use the Chaos Origin Tree Sap or the Divine Wood Green Flask to hasten its ripening."
Lu Xuan thought to himself.
There was still one matter to resolve: setting up the Seventh Rank Heavenly Body Star Sword Array.
His spirit perception extended, probing into the black mist outside the Incomplete Cavern World.
Instantly, stars flickered to life within the black mist, darting toward Lu Xuan like lightning.
Nine enormous golden banners, each adorned with stars, emerged from the black mist, fluttering in the sky.
With a thought, a crystalline flying sword appeared before him, its blade shimmering with countless stars. This was the Seventh Rank Heavenly Star Sword that had bloomed from the light orb of the Star Shift Sword Grass.
Together with the nine star banners, it could form a Seventh Rank Heavenly Body Star Sword Array.
When he had gathered all nine star banners, he already knew the method to set up the array. Additionally, he had gained several insights and experience packages from the Star River Array Diagrams obtained from the Star Fruit, making him particularly skilled at setting up such arrays.
Therefore, even at the Core Formation Realm, the resistance he encountered while setting up this seventh-rank sword array was not significant.
Half a day later, the Heavenly Star Sword floated in the sky, silently disintegrating into a shower of stars. The nine star banners, arranged in a mysterious formation, each enveloped in countless stars, flew back into the black mist.
The dense black mist could not obscure the brilliance and sharpness of the stars. After a few flashes, the star banners seamlessly merged into the void, undetectable even by Lu Xuan’s spirit perception.
"Finally, I’ve set up this Seventh Rank Sword Array. From now on, I don’t have to worry about cultivators intruding into the Incomplete Cavern World."
Lu Xuan felt an unprecedented sense of security.
The Incomplete Cavern World housed most of the high-rank spirit plants he had painstakingly gathered. If they were to be stolen, it would likely break his heart.
Although the location of the Cavern World was remote and naturally restricted, and he had also set up nine sixth-rank magical banners, it was still possible for cultivators to intrude.
However, with the Seventh Rank Heavenly Body Star Sword Array in place, even if a Primordial Spirit True Monarch were to wander aimlessly in the void and accidentally approach the Cavern World, there would be a significant chance they would be slain by the sword array.
After setting up the sword array, he remained in the Incomplete Cavern World to carefully nurture the spirit plants.
After two months, he began to feel restless.
"Everything in the Cavern World is in order. It’s time to visit the Thousand Treasure True River and catch a few spirit fish to improve the diet of the little ones."
He thought to himself.
He then flew out of the Cavern World into the void, his silver-white wings spreading wide, and he sped toward the Thousand Treasure True River like a bolt of lightning.
"Since integrating the Thunder Eagle Feather, the speed of the Thunder Roar Wings has increased significantly. Compared to before, the time it takes to reach the Thousand Treasure True River from the Cavern World has been reduced by a considerable amount."
Lu Xuan compared the time in his mind.
His spirit perception scanned the surrounding area for dozens of miles.
"Hmm, strange, Daoist Shi isn’t here fishing for spirit fish."
He looked puzzled.
Previously, whenever he came to the Thousand Treasure True River, Shi Zichen would always be by the river, fishing for spirit fish. This time, however, he did not see the familiar figure.
"Perhaps he has returned to cultivate, or maybe he hasn’t caught any spirit fish for a long time and has moved to a different spot. Regardless, I hope he is safe and well."
Lu Xuan's thoughts turned to Shi Zichen, with whom he had a few encounters. They had gone fishing together several times, and when the True River Spirit Tide arrived, Shi Zichen had even taken the initiative to help him fend off the attacks of other cultivators. This left Lu Xuan with a very favorable impression of him.
"Never mind that for now, let's start fishing!"
Lu Xuan chose a spot and cast his Ink Jade Spirit Pole, sending it far into the distance.
With his previous experience and the ability to adjust the bait according to the spirit fish's characteristics, he caught five spirit fish in just three short months—four of the fourth rank and one of the fifth rank, a bountiful harvest.
"If Shi Daoyou were here, I wonder how envious he would be."
Without the best partner in banter, catching so many spirit fish felt somewhat bland.
"What's the point of catching a fifth-rank spirit fish if no one sees it?"
Lu Xuan couldn't help but think of the universal viewpoint of a fishing enthusiast.
After dealing with the spirit fish, he set off on his journey back to the Incomplete Cavern World.
Silver-white thunder light sped through the starry meteorites, instinctively avoiding the spatial rifts as if foreseeing the future.
Behind the thunder light, a mighty roar echoed.
A star beast, several dozen zhang in length, closely followed Lu Xuan.
The star beast possessed the strength of a sixth-rank demonic beast, just a hair's breadth away from the seventh rank. It could harness the power of the stars to attack its enemies and was considered a formidable force in this void.
As it entered a dense cloud of darkness, the star beast instinctively sensed a powerful threat.
Before it could retreat, stars began to glow within the mist.
Countless sharp sword auras, infused with stellar power, instantly traversed the vast void, effortlessly piercing through the star beast's massive body as if it were unguarded territory.
Blood and flesh rained down, and Lu Xuan swiftly collected it all into his Gluttonous Worm Bag.
"As expected of a seventh-rank sword array, effortlessly slaying a powerful sixth-rank demonic beast."
Lu Xuan gazed at the bright stars within the black mist, feeling a sense of awe.
He intended to test the power of the Heavenly Star Sword Array, so on his return to the Incomplete Cavern World from the Thousand Treasure True River, he brought along a formidable star beast.
The results were highly satisfying. The physically robust sixth-rank star beast was no match for the sword array, falling like a clay chicken or a fragile dog.
"Before I leave, I must mature this Divine Nourishing Tea and claim my reward."
Lu Xuan decided to mature the Divine Nourishing Tea, which had already entered its ripening stage, as he wasn't sure when he would return to the Incomplete Cavern World next.
After absorbing two drops of Chaos Origin Tree Sap, the Divine Nourishing Tea, which had been cultivated for many years, finally reached full maturity.
Lu Xuan carefully plucked the glassy tea leaves.
Before he could examine the information on the glassy tea leaves, his gaze was completely drawn to a white light orb that had silently appeared.
He reached out and gently touched the surface of the orb.
The orb silently shattered, and countless specks of light condensed into a slender river of light that swiftly flowed into his body. At the same time, a thought flashed through his Sea of Consciousness.
【Harvested sixth-rank Divine Nourishing Tea leaves, obtained a seventh-rank treasure, Soul Stealer Jade.】
The thought vanished, and a peculiar jade stone appeared before Lu Xuan.
The jade stone was palm-sized, exceptionally smooth, and in its deepest recesses, there seemed to be layer upon layer of shadows.
As Lu Xuan focused his attention, the shadows seemed to absorb his Spirit Perception, becoming slightly more substantial, and a faint, intangible connection formed between him and the jade stone.
Instantly, Lu Xuan gained detailed information about this jade stone.
【Soul Stealer Jade, a seventh-rank treasure, possesses an extremely nourishing effect on the divine soul and spirit thoughts. It can steal the spirit perception of cultivators who enter it, nurturing and refining it within the jade to form a Primordial Spirit True Monarch's perception, which can then be returned to the original body.】
