Chapter 1967: 18: Return and Rewards, Meeting Emperor Red Star! (3)

First was the Black Heaven Moon Tree, second was the Spirit-devouring Grass, third was the Divine Statue of Qing Yu Zi. Yet all three had changed appearance drastically!

First was the Black Heaven Moon Tree, which had originally been only as tall as a person, but now it had surpassed ten thousand zhang in height. The panel detection showed it had already entered its peak period.

[Black Heaven Moon Tree]

[Quality: Emperor Level]

[State: Peak Period]

[Innate Secret Techniques: Taiyin Moonlight, Dark Domain]

[Description: A Mutant Moon Tree produced in the Black Sky Wilderness that has absorbed Moonlight Fragments. Having grown to its peak period, it is equivalent to a Reincarnation Emperor of the Human Clan, an auxiliary-type soldier unit.]

...

[Spirit-devouring Grass]

[Quality: Legendary]

[State: Adulthood]

[Innate Secret Techniques: Nine Abyss Devouring World]

[Description: Spirit-devouring Grass produced in the Lixing River Domain, living by devouring the Void Six Qi. Upon reaching adulthood it is equivalent to a Reincarnation Emperor of the Human Clan, a combat-type soldier unit.]

.....

"The Black Heaven Moon Tree and the Spirit-devouring Grass were both in the seedling stage before. How come one’s in the peak period and the other has reached adulthood now?" Zhao Xing was completely baffled.

He felt like he was hallucinating, because logically speaking, his Hun Yuan Realm cultivation was only on the Second Layer.

The Origin Space was not the Inner World; for two plant soldier units that could rival Emperor Level beings to appear in it right now, by rights the Origin Space should have collapsed already.

Only when Zhao Xing saw the third item did he finally understand.

"The statue has been restored!"

The Divine Statue of Qing Yu Zi had originally been full of cracks, yet now it was flashing with golden light, encircled by a single Divine Pattern. There was no trace of cracks left at all.

And it was precisely this Divine Pattern that suppressed the two plant soldier units, preventing them from destroying his Origin Space.

"Is this even reasonable? I clearly didn’t perform any replacement, yet they..."

Everything before his eyes exceeded Zhao Xing’s understanding.

He looked at the two plant soldier units, his heart trembling with fear. If not for Old Qing’s Divine Statue suppressing them, he probably would have been torn apart already.

"Let’s do as Master said first and return to the Primordial Realm to report to the Guluo River!"

Swoosh~

Zhao Xing turned into a streak of rainbow light, dove into the Dao Display Layer, and left the Academic City.

....

In the bizarre, kaleidoscopic Dao Display Layer, a Flying Boat shaped like a Mountain Cat was shuttling through the Void River.

Because it was within the Xuanling Star Domain, the Void River was extremely stable, and Zhao Xing’s Mountain Cat even though it was only a Sun Daoist Soldier still flew at great speed.

"I don’t know for what reason my two seedlings have undergone such tremendous growth."

"The originally ordinary Divine Statue of Qing Yu Zi has also become extraordinarily mystical. Could it be because I imprinted the mysterious Magic Technique of the Void Ancestor? That doesn’t quite make sense."

After the initial panic, Zhao Xing very quickly accepted the facts.

The Divine Statue of Qing Yu Zi had originally been a simple wood carving, but now that it carried the Void Ancestor’s Technique, it had become miraculous.

He couldn’t figure that out, but the two soldier units he could at least take a closer look at.

"The Seven Realms True Spirit Bamboo is also Emperor Level quality, yet it’s still in the growth stage and hasn’t undergone transformation. Only the Black Heaven Moon Tree and the Spirit-devouring Grass have changed. Looks like something happened in the Transmission Building that I don’t know about," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Anyway, right now these two soldier units are beyond my ability to control. I can’t even keep them alive properly, let alone talk about controlling them. But I can at least observe them through the panel."

"The Black Heaven Moon Tree has two innate talents, Taiyin Moonlight and Dark Domain, both auxiliary in effect. They should be able to provide convenience within the Black Sky Wilderness."

If the Chenluo Wasteland was not counted, the Black Sky Wilderness should be the most special and most mysterious forbidden land among all Desolate Domains.

It was infinitely close to the legendary [Dead Domain]. Very little Spiritual Energy was generated there, even Origin Qi was pitifully scarce, and moreover there were no ’Void Rivers’ within the Black Sky Wilderness, which meant the void there only had one layer, that of the real world’s ’Phenomenon Layer’.

Desolate Domains like the Chenluo Wilderness all had chaotic void flows, but the Black Sky Wilderness simply did not have such a thing, as though a ring was missing from the cosmic laws over there.

"In history the Black Sky Wilderness wasn’t as extreme as it is now. People could still see the Taiyin Star and could find plants like the Moon Tree, but later those things all disappeared from sight." Zhao Xing felt that this Mutant Black Heaven Moon Tree could be of great help.

The Black Sky Wilderness involved two theories.

The first was Minggu Mountain, rumored to be the number one mountain in the universe. It was precisely what blocked the existence of the Extreme Star; its shadow cast over the Cosmic Territory, thus forming the Black Sky Wilderness.

The second was the Extreme Star. If the first theory was valid, then finding Minggu Mountain would very likely lead to the discovery of the [Extreme Star].

"Compared to the Black Heaven Moon Tree, the Spirit-devouring Grass only has a single innate ability." Zhao Xing turned his gaze to the other plant life.

It had nine leaves, each leaf tremendously broad and a dark-cyan color, covered with profound black patterns that were dynamic spirals, like bottomless black vortices.

When Zhao Xing looked at it, it seemed even his gaze was about to be sucked in.

The nine vortices on the nine leaves were constantly tugging at the Origin Space, but with the Divine Statue of Qing Yu Zi present, they could not move it.

Although the Spirit-devouring Grass had only one innate talent, Zhao Xing felt it was billions of times more dangerous than the Black Heaven Moon Tree.

"I used to want high-level soldier units, but it seems soldier units that are too high-level aren’t a good thing either." Zhao Xing was both excited and melancholic.

Taking careful stock, Zhao Xing realized his gains from this trip were enormous.

The True Spirit Heavenly Poison had been cleansed, and he had also cultivated the Taichu Grassman Skill.

He obtained two powerful plant soldier units and brought back a remnant Chapter of a Divine Level Magic Technique suspected to have been created by the Void Ancestor.

"However, if I don’t open up an Inner World, I absolutely won’t be able to withstand two Emperor Level plant units, not to mention that if the Spirit-devouring Grass reaches its peak period, it can even rival a Demigod."
