Chapter 985: The Six Transformations of the Celestial Cicada
Yu Lin, the scatter cultivator, didn't stay long in the cave abode. After a brief chat, she bid farewell to Lu Xuan and left.
"Brother Lu, if you have time, remember to visit my cave abode."
Before leaving, she warmly invited Lu Xuan.
"Of course, I will."
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.
Yu Lin smiled gently, and the emerald light on her robe shimmered. A small flower bud emerged from her hairpin, swiftly growing larger and enveloping her petite figure as she darted away.
"I should check the incomplete celestial cave. The Void Cicada Tree should be nearing its third molt, and the other high-tier spirit plants also need attentive cultivation."
Lu Xuan turned back to his cave abode, contemplating.
In the incomplete celestial cave, he had planted the majority of the high-tier spirit plants he had collected. There were several of the Seventh Rank, which he was quite concerned about.
Deciding to act, he instructed the grass puppet and Lei Gui Gong to guard the cave abode well, then left the Tianxing Cave, flying swiftly through the void.
After the strong gale winds fiercely blew against his body, Lu Xuan drew out the giant sword boat.
The massive flying Sword Boat surged with sword intent, and the array formations and restrictions activated everywhere, carrying Lu Xuan as it pierced through the void.
In the void, all distant scenes seemed compressed, and he instantly arrived before Lu Xuan.
He lay on the soft couch inside the giant sword boat, calmly watching the void outside.
"Compared to the Thunder Wing, the speed is just as fast, and it doesn’t drain my inner spirit energy. The only downside is the consumption of mid-tier spirit stones, but it’s the best choice for long-distance flight."
He quietly compared the advantages and disadvantages of the giant sword boat with the Thunder Wing.
Fortunately, his wealth was substantial, and the consumption of spirit stones by the giant sword boat was no concern.
Just as he was lost in thought, the void lit up with starlight, and a dazzling celestial beast emerged from the darkness, heading straight for a collision with the giant sword boat.
Lu Xuan's mind flickered, and countless array patterns on the giant sword boat surged.
Immediately, massive sword Beams, each dozens of feet long, shot out like lightning, slicing through the celestial beast from all directions.
In just a few breaths, a sea of blood and flesh rained down.
A colossal insect shadow flew out from the giant Sword Boat, absorbing all the blood and flesh into its body.
The insect shadow was naturally the Taotong Sack, a low-tier spatial magical treasure that Lu Xuan had refined and mastered over the years. He easily gathered the vast amount of blood and flesh.
The Fenyuan Star Cave had many spirit plants that feed on blood and flesh, and creatures like the Flesh Spirit God that enjoyed such meals. Encountering such a blind celestial beast was rare, and Lu Xuan naturally wouldn’t let it go.
In less than a day, he discovered the Thousand Treasure True River that stretched endlessly, seemingly spanning time and space.
Seeing the Thousand Treasure True River for the first time, Lu Xuan couldn’t help but feel a bit itchy.
"It’s been a while since I last went fishing for spirit fish and treasure."
He thought of the times he had fished for Dark Slumber Fish and other treasures.
"This time, I obtained the Hundred Demons Fishing Manual from the Soul Insect Fungus Colony and have the Soul Insect Fungus as premium bait. I wonder if I’ll have the chance to fish up a couple of demons from the true river."
Lu Xuan mused to himself.
However, for now, he could only keep this thought in his heart. Visiting the incomplete celestial Cave was more important.
A few hundred miles from the incomplete celestial cave, Lu Xuan retracted the giant sword boat and spread a pair of silver-white wings.
With a gentle rub of his fingers, a pure white flower appeared in his hand.
The Flower Slave quietly flew out, and the petals on the flower displayed various scenes.
"It seems there are no villains guarding the incomplete celestial cave this time."
After confirming that there were no abnormalities outside the Fragmented Sky Cave, Lu Xuan finally put his mind at ease.
In the mist, starlight flickered as he skillfully navigated through the natural barriers of the fog and the star-dappled banners he had set up.
"Sure enough, the Hollow Cicada Tree has molted for the third time."
Lu Xuan had just landed on the small island when his eyes immediately fell on the high-grade spirit plants. Among them, the Hollow Cicada Tree caught his attention with its peculiar appearance.
Compared to his last visit to the Fragmented Sky Cave, the Hollow Cicada Tree had grown by about a foot. The semi-transparent trunk was covered with intricate patterns, which looked like the wing patterns of countless spirit cicadas layered together, giving off an eerie and strange sensation.
Focusing intently, he could hear the patterns emitting a faint sound, spreading out thin, barely visible cracks.
The number of cracks increased at a visible rate, and with a crackling sound, something seemed to be gestating inside.
"Perfect timing. It's already in the third molting stage."
Lu Xuan examined the Hollow Cicada Tree's current state, standing beside it and calmly waiting for the rare seventh-grade spirit plant to undergo its third molt.
Just then, his spirit sense detected a slight change in the plant.
Countless transparent substances flowed out from the fine cracks.
Immediately after, the bark between the cracks fell off and landed on the ground.
Countless fine spirit lights splashed like water droplets, quickly dissipating without a trace.
After all these changes, a white light orb quietly floated around the Hollow Cicada Tree.
Lu Xuan stretched out his hand, and in an instant, the orb silently shattered, transforming into countless fine light points that shot up into the sky.
The countless light points rapidly condensed into a fine, long river of light, flowing into Lu Xuan's body.
At the same time, a thought flashed through his mind.
【The Hollow Cicada Tree has successfully molted for the third time, evolving into a third-grade spirit plant. You have gained the first transformation of the rare skill, Six Transformations of the Celestial Cicada.】
The thought vanished, and a peculiar object appeared deep within Lu Xuan's spirit sea.
The object resembled a pair of enormous, transparent cicada wings, covered with intricate patterns. As the patterns gently unfurled, they underwent various mysterious transformations, as if harboring the power of space and time.
Lu Xuan's spirit focused on the cicada wings, instantly understanding their detailed information.
【Six Transformations of the Celestial Cicada, an ancient and rare skill, was comprehended by the human Race from the remains of a celestial cicada from the primordial era.】
【This skill has six transformations in total. Each transformation can grant rare and profound secret techniques, related to concealment, feigning death, and space-time manipulation.】
【Moreover, after the sixth transformation, the cultivator's bone and root will be greatly improved, as if reborn through Nirvana.】
"The Six Transformations of the Celestial Cicada!"
Lu Xuan felt a surge of joy in his heart.
"The third molt of this Hollow Cicada Tree has given me such a great surprise."
"Even if it's just the first transformation, which can only enhance my concealment ability, it still far surpasses the rewards of the light orbs from other third-grade spirit plants. It will be of great use to me at the Core Formation realm."
He carefully examined the first transformation on the huge cicada wings.
"The first molt produced a second-grade treasure, the Hidden Cicada Shell."
"The second molt produced a third-grade concealment-type magical artifact, the Illusory Veil."
"This time, molting into a third-grade spirit plant, it has granted me the first transformation of the rare skill, Six Transformations of the Celestial Cicada."
"Each molt of this seventh-grade Hollow Cicada Tree not only transforms itself but also grants the transformation light orbs."
Lu Xuan couldn't help but marvel.
