Chapter 1288 1284: Thunder Son Returns (Part 2)
Lu Xuan flew into the void, his divine sense moving as he instantly located the Celestial Veil Vine that seemed to merge with the void.
This innate spirit root had been planted for nearly a hundred years, yet its growth was incredibly limited. He could only sense something profound spreading from the plant, reaching into the depths of the endless void, seemingly drawing some special nutrients from the void’s end.
After cultivating the Celestial Veil Vine well, Lu Xuan came to the Ninth Grade Xuanhuang Tree.
After integrating the Blessed Land origin obtained from the Sky Sword Sect in the Cloud Void Domain, the growth speed of the Xuanhuang Tree greatly increased. The two-colored spiritual energy of black and yellow intertwined and flowed, threads hanging down, creating a magnificent scene.
“The Blood Nether Thunder Gourd has decent growth speed after getting sufficient cultivation conditions.”
“Though it’s still a long way from full maturity.”
“Moreover, thanks to my mastery of the Xiao Space-Shift Technique and Sleeve Universe, these two spatial divine abilities, I have a commendable understanding of the Path of Space, thus the Sumeru Seed’s growth speed is within an acceptable range.”
“With only one drop of True Spirit Essence Blood left, the growth speed of the other eight Nine True Spirit Leaves varies; the first two or three leaves have nearly reached the maturation stage.”
Lu Xuan stood before the Nine True Spirit Leaves cultivated for the Pagoda Instrument Spirit, watching the true spirit shadow that seemed to struggle to break free from the leaf’s world, and sighed silently.
“Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I got any news from that Instrument Spirit Villain, and I quite miss it.”
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and continued to cultivate the other high-rank spiritual plants.
Yin Yang Thunder Extreme Wood, Red Dragon Fruit, Evergreen Divine Wood, True Qi Xuan Gourd, Nine-Orifice Ginseng Fruit, Three Corpses Wood…
“Eighth grade, ninth grade spirit plants, and even innate spirit roots and path fruits, are just too numerous. Hoping to cultivate them successfully under normal circumstances is like waiting for the year of the monkey.”
If he wants to quickly reap the light cluster rewards of high-rank spiritual plants, naturally, he cannot wait patiently for them to mature normally.
Therefore, even with the Divine Wood Green Pot, Taiyin Green Spirit Liquid, Creation Spirit Dew, and Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk at hand, Lu Xuan still longs for more.
“When the Xuan Ji Tree Mother moves in, I wonder if it can provide a more suitable spiritual energy environment for these high-rank spiritual plants.”
The thought of the agreement with the mysterious Xuan Ji Tree Mother in the Tree Realm made Lu Xuan feel a lot more at ease.
Since his personal spatial realm already housed a millennia-old Green Horn Thunder Son, bringing in the equally mysterious and ancient Xuan Ji Tree Mother wouldn’t hurt.
“Everything is ready, just waiting for the breakthrough to the late Nascent Soul stage. I hope the Tree Mother remains unscathed before I fulfill my promise.”
Lu Xuan planned a space for the Xuan Ji Tree Mother, and as he was about to leave his personal spatial realm, he suddenly sensed a slight disturbance coming from the living area of the Thunder Behemoth Tribe Group.
A Thunder Seal shimmered with a faint silver-white glow, and as Lu Xuan approached, the light became visibly dazzling, as if something in an unknown space was calling him.
“Has the Green Horn Thunder Son finally returned?”
Lu Xuan felt a surge of joy.
After he offered a Seventh Grade Life Extending Spiritual Object, the Tortoise-Crane Primordial Pill, the long-quiet Green Horn Thunder Son had a revival of thoughts, using its restored peak strength to venture alone into a mysterious Cave Heaven to find high-grade spiritual seeds for Lu Xuan.
It had been years since it left.
Until today, there was finally news of it.
This made Lu Xuan, who had grown a close relationship with the Thunder Son over time, feel a lot more at ease.
This Thunder Seal was left by the Thunder Son upon its departure, capable of resonating with Lu Xuan within a certain distance, allowing him to respond in the void.
After all, the Dongxuan Sword Sect was vast and could not allow a millennia-old spirit beast to wander near the sect unnoticed. To return to the sect and enter the Spirit Flower without exposing itself required Lu Xuan’s assistance.
“As long as it’s safe, I wonder if it brought back any high-grade spiritual seeds for me.”
Back when the Thunder Son left, it was filled with determined spirit, a millennia-old spirit beast still grinding hard, causing Lu Xuan to expect somewhat from its journey.
He put away the Thunder Seal, passed through the Ten Directions Annihilation Sword Array, and quickly flew towards the direction indicated by the seal.
With numerous high-rank treasures protecting him, especially various escape divine powers, magical treasures, charms, and a strong trust in the Green Horn Thunder Son, he was not worried about encountering any danger.
“Hmm? Something seems off.”
Even from a hundred miles away, Lu Xuan spotted the Green Horn Thunder Son’s trace and noticed its condition wasn’t great.
There were faint black glows flickering amidst the protective thunderlight, and upon a closer look, the indistinct black glow was filled with an endless filthy, evil aura, clinging like a parasite.
The Green Horn Thunder Son’s expression also showed a fatigue never seen before.
Even during the siege of three Primordial Infant Cultivators in the Thunder Sea of the Cloud Void Domain, it never appeared so disgraced.
His heart immediately alerted, sleeves billowing without wind, a lotus platform’s shadow faintly passed underfoot, one hand holding the Annihilation Absolute Sword Grass, the other pinching the Ten Thousand Miles Instant Shadow Talisman, while at the same time, the Divine Xiao True Thunder deep in his sea of consciousness stirred restlessly.
“Still, too cautious. Given this is within the Sword Sect domain, no formidable monster tribe could stir any trouble here.”
After his subconscious reaction, Lu Xuan belatedly realized, shook his head with a smile, confirming nothing was amiss, and advanced to greet the Green Horn Thunder Son.
“Senior Thunder Son, what happened to you?”
He called out telepathically from afar.
“Kid Lu, it’s you.”
Upon hearing Lu Xuan’s familiar voice, the Green Horn Thunder Son dispelled the protective thunderlight, a hint of relief flashing in its eyes.
“I was besieged by demonic attacks and was inadvertently infiltrated by demonic qi, unable to disperse it. Fortunately, it’s not fatal. Let’s talk after we return.”
“Alright, I’ll take you back to the Sword Sect and heal you, Senior.”
Lu Xuan said solemnly.
With his unique ability to grasp detailed information on spirit beasts, the Divine Xiao True Thunder’s natural suppression over demonic entities, and possessing the powerful healing divine skill, Ten Thousand Wood Spring Seal, alongside numerous healing treasures, he had absolute confidence in healing the Green Horn Thunder Son’s injuries.
In tens of breaths, he had returned with the Green Horn Thunder Son to the Thunder Behemoth Tribe Group’s area.
“Indeed, this is a case of contamination by the Nine Sons Black Heaven Demon demonic qi.”
Lu Xuan, having casually fed the Thunder Son a Thunderstorm Lotus Seed, nodded and stated.
“However, I can assist Senior in resolving this demonic qi issue.”
“The treatment might be a bit painful, please bear with it, Senior.”
He said gently, then, with a thought, the golden Thunder Seal deep within his sea of consciousness began to operate, tiny divine thunders surged out like fish, swarming toward the black light hidden within the Thunder Son.
The black light seemed startled by the Divine Xiao True Thunder, frantically retreating deeper into the Thunder Son, leaving deep and shallow, foul-smelling marks in its path.
“Hmph, fighting a losing battle.”
Lu Xuan snorted coldly, mastering the Divine Xiao True Thunder, transforming it into countless strands of pale golden thunder silk forming dense nets over the Thunder Son, leaving the black light with nowhere to hide, obliterated into wisps of black smoke under faint sizzling sounds, entirely dissipating in the air.
After a while, he retracted the countless pale golden divine thunder lingering in the Thunder Son, then employed the Ten Thousand Wood Spring Seal, a faint green light radiating rich vitality silently covering the Thunder Son’s massive body, nourishing every part of it, restoring it completely to normal.
“Alright, Senior’s injuries are fully healed.”
He smiled and said to the Thunder Son.
“You kid truly are amazing, mastering such a Divine Thunder Secret Technique.”
The Thunder Son muttered deeply, its voice like thunder exploding in Lu Xuan’s ears.
It inherently had a mastery of the Thunder Method and naturally had some understanding of the Divine Xiao True Thunder. However, having been with Lu Xuan for so long and witnessing countless of his miraculous methods, it had long become accustomed to his wonders.
“Merely a fortunate acquisition, practiced alongside cultivating the Spirit Plants in leisure, resulting in today’s achievements.”
Lu Xuan said humbly.
“As if I wouldn’t know you, kid.”
Even with its millennia-long composed temperament, the Thunder Son couldn’t help but roll its eyes upon hearing Lu Xuan’s words, deep green thunderlight streaming from its nostrils and mouth.
“Let’s get to the main point.”
“During this venture, despite encountering waves of demonic ambushes for unknown reasons, I successfully found a Cave Heaven deeply connected to my tribe and thus found that High-grade Spiritual Seed embedded in my memory.”
“Here you go, Kid Lu. This is the Ninth Grade Spirit Seed I found for you.”
The Thunder Son didn’t seem to put the previous demonic qi invasion to heart, his tone carrying a hint of pride.
A spiritual seed glowing in a gentle green light floated before Lu Xuan.
