Chapter 854: The Great Five Elements Extinction Formation
Chapter 854: The Great Five Elements Extinction Formation
Previously, four Five Elements Illusion fruits had been improved, and the remaining three were still some time away from full maturity.
Lu Chen had learned the method of condensing the Four-Grade Five Elements Fruit from the Celestial Sword Sect, and although the Five Elements Illusory Fruit had a higher grade, they were ultimately closely related, with many points of reference. Coupled with Lu Chen's unique ability to know everything about spirit plants, he was confident in condensing the spirit seeds of the Five Elements Illusory Fruit.
While the remaining Five Elements Fantasy Fruits were not yet mature, other spirit plants were ready for harvest.
Lu Chen arrived at a spiritual field covered with silver-white sand and stone.
There were subtle streaks of lightning moving across the surface of the sand, which he had collected from the ancient lightning pool in the ancient herb garden. It was perfect for cultivating those lightning-attributed spirit plants.
In the spiritual field, thirty Four-Grade Thunder Burst Lotuses bloomed, revealing silver-white petals. At the edges of the petals, thousands of fine lightning streaks hung like a waterfall, with sparks of white light as they fell.
Lu Chen approached the Thunder Burst Lotuses with extreme caution, mindful of the danger hidden within the wonderful and strange spectacle. He was afraid of setting off the extremely unstable lightning waterfall.
The thirty Thunder Burst Lotuses were obtained with a hefty sum, commissioned through the merchant guild. The main purpose was to try and obtain as much of the Zhu Xie Spirit Thunder as possible from the orbs of light.
The Zhu Xie Spirit Thunder had a natural restraining effect on demons and evil spirits. While a single bolt of spiritual lightning might not cause much damage to a high-level demon, ten, a hundred, or even a thousand strikes would be a different story.
Lu Chen had the idea of collecting as much spiritual lightning as he could.
He already had twenty-one in his possession, and these thirty Thunder Burst Lotuses would yield at least another ten.
After inspecting them one by one, he found that two of the Thunder Burst Lotuses had reached full maturity.
Carefully digging them out, Lu Chen plucked three Thunder Burst Lotus seeds from the flowers. With a thought, the Thunder Dragon Lioness transformed into a streak of silver-white light and rushed to his side.
"Come, have a freshly plucked Thunder Burst Lotus seed."
Lu Chen tossed the silver-white seeds into the Thunder Dragon Lioness's mouth.
The Thunder Dragon Lioness swallowed them whole, its silver-white fur relaxing as it spread out. The tips of its horns crackled with arcs of lightning, creating a startling spectacle.
If other cultivators knew that Four-Grade Thunder Burst Lotus seeds were being fed to a spirit beast as if they were ordinary spirit stones, they would surely turn green with envy.
Lu Chen instructed the Thunder Dragon Lioness to go aside and digest the spiritual energy from the seeds, and with a flash of his figure, he reached out to touch two silent, emerging white orbs of light.
The orbs shattered silently, one on the left and one on the right, like exploding fireworks. Countless tiny specks of light soared into the sky and swiftly condensed into two slender rivers of light, flowing into Lu Chen's body.
Harvested a Four-Grade Thunder Burst Lotus. Obtained a Five-Grade Thunder Extreme Escape Talisman.
Harvested a Four-Grade Thunder Burst Lotus. Obtained a treasure, the Zhu Xie Spirit Thunder.
With a fleeting thought, the two treasures appeared before Lu Chen.
One was a silver-white talisman with faint streaks of lightning dancing across its surface—the Five-Grade Thunder Extreme Escape Talisman, which had just been sold at the auction for a staggering eighty-eight thousand low-grade spirit stones.
And now, another new talisman had been produced from the Thunder Burst Lotus orb.
Lu Chen shook his head, his gaze shifting to the other treasure.
A strand of golden spiritual lightning shone dazzlingly, as if it could purge all the impurities in the world.
"A Thunder Extreme Escape Talisman and a strand of Zhu Xie Spirit Thunder. Two unremarkable treasures," Lu Chen commented briefly.
After harvesting the two Thunder Burst Lotuses, he continued to tend to his spirit plants.
One day, he received an invitation from a familiar cultivator nearby, asking him to gather at the cultivator's cave abode.
Lu Chen always adhered to the principle of treating others with kindness. He made friends with many cultivators, turning these acquaintances into channels for obtaining spirit seeds while also keeping himself updated on the latest news in the cultivation world.
The gathering of cultivators was a small one, with less than ten people in attendance.
Lu Xuan was already acquainted with them, but their relationship wasn't deep, only having met a few times.
The group exchanged the latest news about the cultivation world as they came together.
"Fellow cultivators, do you remember He Shaokun?" The host of the cave dwelling asked.
"I have a vague impression. That He fellow didn't seem very sociable. He was either secluded in meditation or out exploring secret realms," someone replied.
"Why do you bring up He all of a sudden?" A thin, elderly man asked, puzzled.
"Recently, I happened to learn that He Shaokun has perished at the hands of the demons, his soul completely annihilated," the host sighed.
This news struck a chord with the group, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow for their fellow cultivator's demise.
"Life and death are fated. Since He Shaokun took the risk of hunting demons, he must have been prepared for the possibility of dying at their hands," someone said.
"Indeed, the path of cultivation is fraught with obstacles and challenges. We solitary cultivators must take risks if we want to seize opportunities and advance further," another added.
"Who can guarantee a safe journey to obtaining precious treasures and opportunities?"
The group unanimously agreed with these sentiments.
Lu Xuan, seated in a corner, remained silent.
"However, speaking of which, this recent demon incursion is indeed on a larger scale than usual," someone remarked.
"The Li Yang Realm is still doing fine. But I've heard that in other regions, entire cities have been slaughtered by demons, resulting in countless casualties," another cultivator shared.
"How audacious!" The group exclaimed in righteous indignation.
Lu Xuan, however, remained calm and unperturbed.
This situation was very different from his previous departure from Tian Jian Zong.
His strength had increased exponentially, and he now possessed the ability to protect himself. Moreover, the Tian Xing Cave, which he now affiliated with, was far more powerful than his previous sect.
With eighteen Star Masters, it meant there were at least eighteen Yuan Ying Mid-Stage cultivators, not to mention other Yuan Ying cultivators, forming the formidable Tian Xing Cave.
Not to mention, there was also the Hai Lou Chamber of Commerce, which was on par with the Tian Xing Cave.
Within the Li Yang Realm, the Li Yang Dao Zong's strength was even more unfathomable.
The gathering spot was only a few hundred miles from Lu Xuan's cave abode and located in a safe area of Lei Huo Planet Cave, so he didn't have to worry too much about safety.
After the gathering, Lu Xuan swiftly returned to his cave abode.
"In such turbulent times, I must obtain more treasures to protect myself."
"Let's try to open another light group with the Five Elements Illusion Fruit."
Lu Xuan arrived at the spiritual field where he cultivated the Five Elements Illusion Fruits and gazed upon the fruits, their progress bars filled, and five types of spiritual energy flowing within them. He couldn't resist the temptation and decided to leave two spirit plants for seeding, intending to use the remaining one for another reward.
He carefully plucked the semi-illusory, semi-real spiritual fruit.
"Good quality, slightly better than the previous one," he remarked.
Taking a closer look, Lu Xuan felt a heightened anticipation for the light group reward from this Five Elements Illusion Fruit.
Better fruit quality might result in a more generous light group reward.
He reached out and gently touched the faintly shimmering white light group.
A slight chill emanated from the light group, which then silently shattered, transforming into countless specks of light that enveloped Lu Xuan.
The myriad lights swiftly condensed into a shadow of a formation plate, which instantly merged into his body.
Simultaneously, a thought flashed through his mind.
【Harvested a Five-Grade Five Elements Illusion Fruit. Obtained a Seven-Grade Formation, the Great Five Elements Extinction Formation (1/10)
