Chapter 1144: The Dragon's Skeleton
"From now on, I can use this Heavenspan Constellation Sword Array for myself or trade it for Spirit Seeds and other items."
Inside the Gigantic Sword Boat, nine golden yellow flags formed a profound array, slowly dancing around him.
The flags were adorned with numerous stars, twinkling as if following a special trajectory.
In the center of the Star Flags, the Heavenspan Constellation Swords transformed into a world of its own, with the sun, moon, and stars.
After refining the Imperfect Spatial Realm, the Seventh Stage Heavenspan Constellation Sword Array that was previously set up outside became useless, so Lu Xuan brought it back to the Thunder Fire Cave.
"After relocating the Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts from the Thunder Fire Cave and the Abyss Star Cave, there's no need to use such a powerful array for protection."
"It's just that I lack some powerful offensive means."
He secretly thought to himself.
Currently, he possessed two Seventh Stage Sword Arrays, the Heavenspan Constellation Sword Array and the All-Heaven Divine Wood Sword Array, as well as the Grand Five Elements Annihilation Array.
With three Seventh Stage arrays, he could be considered extravagantly prepared, and if used in the right situations, they could achieve astonishing effects.
The Gigantic Sword Boat could shuttle through the Void at high speed and had strong defensive capabilities, allowing him to calmly play with the array plates and flags of this Seventh Stage Sword Array in the complex environment of the Void.
Five days later, he arrived at the Cloud Void Region and quietly approached the Thunder Fire Cave.
After sensing that there were no anomalies around the cave, he confidently opened the array and entered.
"Hehehehe!"
As soon as he stepped into the cave, a silver-white thunder light shot towards him at extreme speed, stopping in front of Lu Xuan, accompanied by the Thunder Devil Gong's strange laughter.
Having not seen Lu Xuan for a long time, the Thunder Devil Gong was obviously excited, his strange mouth corners stretched to the maximum, and his two arms kept pounding on the drum-like flesh at his waist.
After a few breaths, the Grass Puppet hurried over on its two slender legs, and a faint green light shone from its empty eye sockets. Lu Xuan could feel its inner joy.
Immediately, the group of Spirit Beasts that had stayed in the Thunder Fire Cave gathered around.
After Lu Xuan slightly calmed them down, he was finally able to break free and enter the Spirit Field.
There weren't many types of Spirit Plants left in the Spirit Field, only the Pure Yang Golden Lotus, Five Elements Illusionary Fruit, Ten Thousand Phenomena Grass, Crimson Flame Plum, and Jade Phoenix Tree were of the Fifth Stage, while the rest were Third and Fourth Stage Spirit Plants that were planted in large quantities.
After returning to the Sword Sect for so long, although the cave's spiritual energy was dense and the Grass Puppet helped manage it, the growth of the numerous Spirit Plants could only be considered average.
Lu Xuan ventured deep into the Spirit Field and adjusted the growth state of all the Spirit Plants to their best condition before transplanting them.
He knew that he couldn't hide his return from the Heavenly Star Cave's Nascent Soul Cultivators, so he didn't rush to move the Spirit Plants and Spirit Beasts into his Personal Spatial Realm.
Sure enough, less than an hour later, the Thunder Fire Cave Master came to visit.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, why didn't you inform me when you returned? I could have shown my hospitality as the host."
A kind smile appeared on the Thunder Fire Cave Master's dignified face.
Although his cultivation was one minor realm higher than Lu Xuan's, he treated Lu Xuan equally when they were together, and one could even say that he was trying to please him.
There was no other reason but the fact that the Sword Sect backing Lu Xuan was too powerful.
A single Sword Peak could sweep through the Heavenly Star Cave, let alone the seven Nascent Soul Cultivators.
"Lu has met the Thunder Fire True Monarch."
"I just returned from the Sword Sect and was thinking of finding time to visit the Star Master, but I didn't expect the Star Master to come first."
Lu Xuan casually explained, smiling as he welcomed the Thunder Fire Cave Master into the cave.
In the following days, many True Monarchs and True Persons came to visit, and Lu Xuan warmly received them all.
After things settled down, he had a thought, and an eight-colored Spirit Flower appeared before him.
Within the Spirit Flower, a minuscule world exists, where mountains and rivers stretch and undulate, teeming with birds and beasts, vibrant with life and myriad wonders.
Lu Xuan arrived at the Earthfire Branch, where he carefully extracted over twenty Chun Yang Golden Lotuses from the scorching lava, roots and all.
In the blink of an eye, the landscape before him rapidly expanded, and he found himself stepping into his personal spatial realm.
After merging with the Seventh Rank Treasure Dharmaraja Flame, a fire spring gradually formed within the space. Reddish water gushed forth from the spring, and pale red spiritual energy rose, forming a dreamlike, pale red veil above the fire spring.
"Although it's far smaller in scale compared to the Earthfire Branch beneath Thunder Star Cave, it's even better for nurturing the Chun Yang Golden Lotuses."
Lu Xuan carefully transplanted the Chun Yang Golden Lotuses into the fire spring.
The red water kept surging, covering the stems and leaves of the lotuses, making them appear even more vibrant and exquisite.
Then, he transplanted various spirit plants, such as the Five Elements Illusionary Fruit, Ten Thousand Phenomena Grass, and Crimson Flame Plums, into his cave abode.
"All spirit plants of the Fifth Rank and below have been transplanted. As for the remaining spirit beasts, it's not as urgent."
"Oh, right, there are also two Seventh Rank Spirit Plants, the Green Thunder Vines of the Second Wood, in the central region. As for the other Seventh Rank Spirit Plant, the Azure Dragon Tree, since it's almost mature, I'll just harvest it directly in the cave abode to avoid any adverse effects on the dragon pulse after relocation."
Lu Xuan thought to himself as he lifted the restrictions and entered the central region.
"Roar~"
As soon as he entered, a majestic dragon's roar echoed in his ears, its powerful and awe-inspiring might capturing his heart.
In a daze, Lu Xuan seemed to see a giant dragon's shadow dancing above the Spirit Field.
He focused his mind on his mental cultivation technique to calm his spirit, then turned his gaze towards the center of the Spirit Field, where a divine Spirit Tree stood.
The Spirit Tree's form twisted and coiled, resembling a giant dragon spiraling above the Spirit Soil. Countless deep green roots of varying thicknesses extended into the depths of the earth, like the claws of a slumbering dragon.
"It does seem to exhibit signs of a forming dragon pulse."
Lu Xuan observed carefully, his thoughts turning inward.
He concentrated his mental energy on the Azure Dragon Tree and noticed that the semi-transparent progress bar below was almost full, with just a short section remaining.
"The Azure Dragon Tree is a Seventh Rank Spirit Plant. Don't be fooled by its near-completion; it might take a year or two for it to mature naturally. It's better to use the ripening technique."
Lu Xuan lacked the patience to wait for the Azure Dragon Tree to mature naturally. With a thought, a drop of Wood Spirit Juice appeared before him.
The emerald green liquid gently fell onto the Azure Dragon Tree.
Upon contact, layers of pale green ripples formed, instantly covering the entire tree and merging with it.
Through his mental perception, Lu Xuan felt the Azure Dragon Tree come to life under the nourishment of the Wood Spirit Juice, like a giant dragon about to take flight.
Deep underground, the terrain subtly shifted, revealing a divine feng shui pattern.
"The Azure Dragon Tree has finally matured."
"This is the first time I've helped cultivate a Seventh Rank Spirit Plant."
Lu Xuan carefully dug out the Azure Dragon Tree from the Spirit Soil, his gaze falling on the white light orb that quietly emerged.
He reached out and gently touched the surface of the light orb. In an instant, a shower of light rained down, transforming into slender rivers of light that flowed into his body.
A thought appeared in his mind:
[Harvested one Seventh Rank Azure Dragon Tree, obtained an Eighth Rank Treasure, Dragon's Skeleton.]
The thought vanished, and a massive skeleton appeared before Lu Xuan.
The skeleton was nearly twenty zhang long, azure-green in color, with a jade-like luster on its surface. It coiled and twisted, floating silently in the air, exuding an awe-inspiring might from its lofty position.
