Chapter 1185: The Divine Transformation Ancestor's Spirit Puppet
Chapter 1185: The Divine Transformation Ancestor's Spirit Puppet
"Has your sect's Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Tree encountered an issue?" Lu Xuan asked with a puzzled expression.
Spiritual plants that have grown for ten thousand years, coupled with the meticulous protection and supervision of the Divine Timber Sect, would rarely face any problems.
"That's right. A Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Tree growing within the Cave Heaven has inexplicably withered over a large area. We've tried numerous methods to no avail. I heard that you, Lu, have achieved remarkable mastery in the path of spiritual plants, so I've come to seek your assistance." Lin Jiangyuan spoke with hopeful eyes.
"Please, Lu, lend us your aid. The Divine Timber Sect will be eternally grateful." Zhang Jingxian, standing beside him, also pleaded earnestly.
Just as Lu Xuan was about to respond, a silver-white dragon shadow flashed into the hall like lightning, and as the light faded, Jian Zhen's figure appeared.
His demeanor was dignified as he glanced at Zhang Jingxian and Lin Jiangyuan.
"Greetings, True Sword Master Jian," they both bowed in respect.
"Zhang, it's been a while since we last met. I didn't expect to see you here in the Sword Sect today," Jian Zhen nodded slightly.
"I already understand why the two of you have come, but there's one thing I don't quite grasp."
"The Divine Timber Sect is renowned in the cultivation world for cultivating various high-level spiritual plants and medicines. There are countless skilled spiritual plant masters within, yet you've come to the Sword Cultivator-filled Dao Profound Sword Sect for help. Why is that?" He asked calmly.
"There's something you don't know, True Sword Master. Coming to the Sword Sect was a desperate move."
"The Divine Timber Sect has tried everything, but to no avail. We have no choice but to seek alternative methods. I've heard of your exceptional proficiency in spiritual plants, so I've come to give it a try. Please, grant us your assistance." Zhang Jingxian, knowing that Lu Xuan belonged to the True Sword Peak, spoke with a hint of urgency.
"There's no issue with me, but it also depends on Lu Shidi's own thoughts," Jian Zhen turned to look at Lu Xuan.
He knew that Lu Xuan had spent most of his time within the sect, accompanying spiritual plants, rarely venturing out to explore secret realms, and likely had limited experience in combat. If they encountered any dangerous situations, Lu Xuan's self-preservation abilities might not match those of other Nascent Soul Cultivators in the sect.
Moreover, Jian Zhen had just recently improved the Sixth Rank Soul Annihilation Prison Swordgrass, significantly elevating his status within the sect. Calling him the sect's precious treasure wouldn't be an exaggeration, so there couldn't be any mishaps.
However, he couldn't restrict the actions of a Nascent Soul Cultivator and could only respect Lu Xuan's decision.
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment, and under the expectant gazes of Zhang Jingxian and Lin Jiangyuan, he nodded in agreement, "I have a good relationship with Lin, and I'm willing to accompany you both to the Divine Timber Sect to take a look."
He had already made up his mind when they asked, but he feigned hesitation to increase his value.
Currently, he had the Lotus Embodiment, so safety wasn't a concern. The worst-case scenario would be losing an incarnation and some treasures.
If it were any other sect seeking help, he might consider it, but for the Divine Timber Sect, he wouldn't hesitate.
He had been thinking about completing the Divine Timber Green Jade Pot in his possession! Ever since leaving the Liyang Dao Sect, he had intentionally befriended the Divine Timber Sect cultivators, but for many years, he couldn't find a suitable opportunity for deeper interactions. Unexpectedly, the Divine Timber Sect had taken the initiative to reach out.
Moreover, the issue involved spiritual plants, and he possessed a unique ability to grasp spiritual plant information, so he was confident in his ability to help.
With such a rare opportunity presenting itself, he naturally wouldn't let it slip away.
"Thank you, Lu," Lin Jiangyuan expressed his deep gratitude.
Lu Xuan's willingness to help was already extremely rare, as most cultivators generally avoided getting entangled in the troubles of other sects. Lu Xuan's actions were indeed precious.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, there's no need for such formalities. Our Sword Sect and Divine Timber Sect have been friendly for many years, and helping each other is only natural."
Lu Xuan slightly increased his height.
"I just don't know how urgent the situation with the Ten Thousand Year Spiritual Trees is. Lu needs a little time to prepare."
"There's no rush, Lu can decide when to depart."
Lin Jiangyuan and Zhang Jingxian exchanged glances and spoke.
The issue with the Spiritual Trees had been ongoing for a long time, so a few more days wouldn't make much difference.
"The day is already late. Let's depart tomorrow. Both of you can rest in the Sword Palace for the night."
Lu Xuan casually suggested.
"Okay."
The two nodded.
Lu Xuan and Jian Zhen returned to the True Sword Peak.
"Lu Shidi, since you're going out for a rare trip, you must be extra cautious. If you sense anything amiss, escape at the first sign of trouble. Prioritize your safety."
Jian Zhen instructed.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. My sword skills are quite decent, and I have several treasures on me. I also have the unique sword boat gifted by Senior Sword Serpent, so self-protection shouldn't be an issue."

Even mentioning these treasures was impressive for an Early Nascent Soul Cultivator, and Lu Xuan's strength was far beyond that.
Hearing this, Jian Zhen finally relaxed, nodding slightly.
"I'm still not at ease."
After Lu Xuan entered his Cave Mansion, his heart was filled with worry.
Any mishap involving Lu Xuan would be a tremendous loss for the Sword Sect, and even more so for the True Sword Peak.
Without Lu Xuan, the True Sword Peak would likely return to the bottom of the nine major sword peaks, and it would be difficult to rise again.
With this thought, he instantly transformed into a silver white dragon and flew into the Sword Sect's void.
In no time, he returned to the Sword Peak, entered the Cave Mansion, and found Lu Xuan.
"Lu Shidi, I've obtained a duplicate spirit puppet from Ancestor Gu Yang Zhen for you. Take good care of it."
Before him, a lifelike small puppet appeared, resembling Jian Tong with a thin sword belt around its waist, as thin as a cicada's wing.
"This is a duplicate spirit puppet crafted by the ancient ancestor. In times of danger, you can use it once. After activation, the ancestor will arrive and possess the puppet within a short time."
"It can exert up to three-tenths of the ancestor's strength, which is more than enough to deal with Primordial Soul Cultivators."
"However, if there are multiple realm domains and restrictions blocking the way, the possession time will be slightly longer. According to the ancestor, it will take between a hundred breaths to half a quarter of an hour to reach the vicinity of the Divine Timber Sect."
"The ancestor, grateful for your great contribution to the sect, is worried about your safety and asked me to give this duplicate spirit puppet to you."
"This is a precious treasure, remember to use it in critical moments to avoid wasting the Divine Transformation Ancestor's efforts."
Jian Zhen handed the puppet to Lu Xuan, giving detailed instructions.
"Thank you for the concern of the ancestor and Senior Brother."
Lu Xuan took the spirit puppet and placed it in his storage bag, feeling extremely grateful.
He hadn't expected that just for a rare trip, the Divine Transformation Ancestor would use such a rare treasure to ensure his safety.
This level of care made him feel even more connected to the Sword Sect.
"A Divine Transformation Ancestor that can be summoned at any time, where in the cultivation world can't I go?"
He secretly thought to himself.
