Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1069 - 532: Entering Celestial Eye Forest (2)
Previously on Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister...
All of a sudden!
The ground beneath their feet began to tremble violently, and the pace quickened dramatically.
Bright streaks of light, akin to falling raindrops, pierced into the oval-shaped leaves.
"This sensation is..."
As they breached the domain of the Tree-man Race, Chen Xuan perceived a familiar spatial disturbance.
Shortly thereafter, an intense emerald luminescence blazed before him.
Even Chen Xuan found himself compelled to shut his eyes.
A few moments passed!
The sensation under Chen Xuan’s feet shifted, and he gradually opened his eyes.
Before him lay an unexpected bamboo grove!
There was not a soul in sight.
Chen Xuan's body gently ascended into the air, and in every direction he gazed, only bamboo met his eyes.
To refer to it as the Celestial Eye Forest would be less precise than calling it the Celestial Eye Bamboo Forest.
"I wonder if I can locate Qingsui's yuan seedling."
Chen Xuan mused aloud.
Once the yuan seedling is planted, it has a tendency to relocate and conceal itself, thereby preventing its destruction.
Although the Elder had strictly warned against causing any damage within the Celestial Eye Forest.
Still, should an accidental incident occur... well, there would be little that could be done.
This is because, irrespective of the race, a diverse spectrum of individuals always exists.
Chen Xuan closed his eyes, employing the unique technique of the Tree-man Race to pinpoint the yuan seedling.
"It’s detectable!"
He abruptly opened his eyes, discerning its location approximately ten miles to his west.
Swiftly, he propelled himself in that direction.
Shortly thereafter.
He finally discovered Qingsui’s yuan seedling nestled within a deep ravine.
The yuan seedling!
It appeared as a bamboo shoot, merely half a meter tall and two fingers wide, indistinguishable from the surrounding bamboo of varying sizes, presenting a perfectly ordinary facade.
Upon closer inspection, one could not discern any difference.
"Truly a challenge to locate!"
Chen Xuan let out a soft chuckle before leaning down to examine it. His Spiritual Power made contact with the yuan seedling, but... "There's nothing out of the ordinary!"
He murmured to himself.
Not only was his Spiritual Power incapable of detecting anything unusual, but even his Telepathy proved ineffective.
"This is peculiar; what exactly makes it so special?"
Chen Xuan's brow furrowed, intrigued by the failure of his most potent ability, Telepathy.
He then extended his hand to touch the yuan seedling.
The instant his fingertip made contact!
A strange sensation flooded his heart; at that precise moment, he felt an absolute oneness with the yuan seedling, as if it were him and he were it.
There was no separation between them!
It bore a resemblance to the feeling of a clone, yet it was distinct!
Immediately, a surge of vital energy flowed from the yuan seedling into Chen Xuan’s body.
"So comfortable!"
Chen Xuan couldn't help but groan in pleasure.
Earlier, when he had adopted the guise of Lan Yanlin, his attempts to harness this energy had been unsuccessful.
Unexpectedly, he succeeded here.
"Boom!"
Just then, the jade bone fragment within him radiated intensely, attempting to absorb this newfound energy.
"It affects the jade bone?"
He was immediately astonished.
Under his deliberate guidance, the jade bone within him aggressively absorbed the energy.
"Pop!"
A distinct sound resonated within Chen Xuan's body as he successfully opened the eighth aperture.
And it had only taken half an hour!
"I hadn't anticipated..."
Chen Xuan was filled with elation, surprised that this energy proved far more potent than Spiritual Liquid!
However... with the activation of the eighth aperture, despite the jade bone's absorption of this energy, its effect was almost negligible.
"This is somewhat excessive, isn't it?"
"A one-time effect?"
Chen Xuan's brows knitted together, and the elation from opening the aperture vanished instantly.
"Or perhaps the yuan seedling's quality is too low?"
He pondered inwardly.
"It's time for me to plant the yuan seedling now."
Chen Xuan murmured.
Qingsui’s yuan seedling seemed to be of mediocre quality, barely reaching mid-grade, and even enhancing it within the Spiritual Spring offered scant hope.
The inherent quality of yuan seedlings is a curious thing, appearing to gauge the planter's innate talent.
This insight was derived from Lan Yanlin’s stored memories.
Furthermore, a connection exists with the planter's vital essence.
And the younger the individual, the higher the probability of successfully cultivating high-grade yuan seedlings.
"My talent and vital essence could be considered top-tier, couldn't they?"
Chen Xuan questioned himself.
This was not mere boastfulness; at this juncture, even without the system's intervention, his natural aptitude was extraordinary, with his Origin Dao Body alone eclipsing the so-called prodigies.
Moreover, earlier, the Hall Master had surmised that Zhan Tian’s fate hung in the balance, dependent on him.
Particularly the act of entrusting Zhan Tian’s vital essence to him.
It was presumably intended for him to plant Zhan Tian’s yuan seedling within the Celestial Eye Forest.
"So, the esteemed Hall Master had foreseen all of this."
The more Chen Xuan interacted with the Hall Master, the more formidable he found him to be.
It seemed as though everything unfolded according to his master plan.
He felt akin to a marionette.
"Regardless, I shall proceed with planting the yuan seedling first!"
Chen Xuan shook his head, deciding against dwelling on such unsettling thoughts.
He then departed from that location.
To successfully plant the yuan seedling, the acquisition of a suitable seed is essential, and these are typically found within a thousand-meter radius of the Spirit Pool. Guided by his own recollections, Chen Xuan journeyed onward. Approximately thirty minutes into his flight, a vast lake, spanning about a kilometer, came into view. This was the Spirit Pool. By this juncture, members of the Tree-man Race, venturing into the Celestial Eye Forest for their inaugural exploration, had already commenced the selection of their seeds. Chen Xuan's arrival immediately captured their focus. "Didn't he already plant his yuan seedling?" "What business does he have here?" "Could it be that he intends to transplant the yuan seedling into the Spirit Pool?" "..." Disregarding their chattering, Chen Xuan proceeded to conduct his own independent search. Yuan seedling seeds possess a degree of sentience and exhibit cunning behaviors, often concealing themselves beneath the earth. As he traversed the bamboo grove, Chen Xuan activated his Telepathy, meticulously scanning the surroundings. Seeds are the cornerstone of this process; thus, absolute diligence is paramount. Suddenly! Chen Xuan halted his advance as a verdant luminescence erupted from the soil, leaping forth to materialize directly before him.
