Chapter 393: Chapter 391 Thousand Worm Hands l

Lu Xuan ignored the wildly swinging green-black branches that resembled arms. With a thought, the clouds above the strange spiritual plant condensed and strands of spirit rain began to fall.

According to his guess, these green-black spiritual plants shaped like arms, including the previously mutated, highly aggressive Arrow vine and Flowing Fire Wood, all shared similarities with the Demonic Vine, becoming a special existence that was half spiritual plant and half demon beast.

So, they just needed to be fed a bit, and he could potentially gain detailed information about them.

If this did not happen, he would consider using the Grandmaster Level Earth Gravity Technique to unearth the spiritual plants and plant them.

As the spirit rain fell in strands, the green-black branches discerned that it did not pose any threats and allowed it to sprinkle on their bodies.

Seeing this, Lu Xuan concentrated his spirit on the green-black Spirit Plant, and a piece of information emerged in his mind.

[Unknown spiritual plant, the third grade Thousand Worm Hands Spiritual Plant mutated under the influence of powerful flesh and blood power.]

[The Thousand Worm Hands, a group-living spiritual plant shaped like arms, likes to grow in spiritual soil environments piled with a multitude of demon beasts’ limbs and cultivators’ arms. It has certain aggressiveness and, when mature, is an excellent material for cultivating certain special evil techniques.] [Under the influence of powerful flesh and blood power, numerous Thousand Worm Hands Spiritual Plants underwent an unknown change. They could communicate with each other in their minds, gather instantly with the help of their kind nearby, form formations, and jointly fight enemies. When they come together in sufficient numbers, they have power close to that of a Fifth Rank.] (In an extremely cold spiritual power environment, the plant’s branches will become sluggish which greatly affects the plant’s speed and flexibility.] “Thousand Worm Hands Spiritual Plant… given the description, it should also belong to the type of Underworld Spiritual Plants.”

“Unexpectedly, a large number of Mutated Thousand Worm Hands gathered together, vaguely tending to form Spiritual Plant Array.”

There was an inward sigh in Lu Xuan’s heart.

“Junior Brother Lu, have you discovered anything?”

Though they did not know why Lu Xuan had set up a Spirit Rain Technique with nearly no harm, adhering to the belief that each magic art has its experts, Fire Scale Child asked in a quiet voice, with a faint bit of hope in his tone.

“There’s a feeling of deja vu; it seems like I’ve seen it in some books, but I’m not quite sure. Let me think about it more.”

Lu Xuan spoke in a deep voice. He did not directly explain the origins and solutions of the bizarre Spiritual Plant Group in front of him.

If he could say everything about any spiritual plant they encountered in the Blessed Land, including their origins and uses, then even if he was good at cultivating the Path of spiritual plants, it would seem staggeringly miraculous. After contemplating for a moment, he decided to suggest an idea to Fire Scale Child and the others by conjecturing.

“Elder Brother Huo, I remember seeing similar spiritual plants. This kind of spiritual plant shares some common characteristics with demon beasts or cultivators. Therefore, it’s very likely that their physiological features are similar to those of demon beast cultivators.”

“For instance, look at the strange spiritual plants down there shaped like arms. The arm-like sections are connected by those protruding bone nodes. If we use extreme cold spiritual power on the bone nodes, is it possible that it could affect the plant’s movements?”

“Junior Brother Lu’s method is certainly imaginative.”

“It’s worth a try.”

The eyes of Fire Scale Child and his peers lit up, concluding that there was a high probability that the method proposed by Lu Xuan could work.

Sword Wu Xia didn’t say a word and removed three white jade talismans from his storage bag.

The talismans emitted cold chills, condensing countless tiny frost particles on Sword Wu Xia’s palm.

“Fourth Grade Talismans.”

Lu Xuan felt a tremor at the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from the White Jade Talismans.

The three talismans were activated by Sword Wu Xia and flew out in a rapid ‘□o’—shaped formation. They left three trails of frost in their wake.

The transparent snowflakes were falling all over the sky, turning a vast area below into a snow-white world instantly. Lu Xuan and the others in the passage couldn’t help but shiver unconsciously.

“Using three fourth-grade ice charms at once, that’s quite generous.”

Lu Xuan tutted silently, marveling at the wealth of the True Disciple, completely forgetting his own casual use of sword talismans.

“All mutated spiritual plants are in a cold environment, try attacking again.” From his robe, Fire Scale Child released a crimson flying sword. The sword transformed into a fiery red dragon shadow in the air and instantly arrived in front of a black and green vine.

The surrounding black-green branches sensed the danger of their kind and rushed over at the fastest speed.

A “crack” sound came.

It was a spiritual plant that exerted too much force, forgetting the influence of extreme cold spiritual energy on itself. It twisted its branches during the movement, which slowed down the rate of its integration somewhat.

“Junior Brother Lu’s method really works!”

A hint of joy appeared on Fire Scale Child’s face. He immediately transmitted the message to his peers who were still in the passage.

Soon, more than ten Sky Sword Sect Cultivators who were proficient in the Ice System Technique, or possessed high-grade ice magical items and talismans arrived at the entrance of the passage, and various ice techniques were taken in turns.

“Take my Great Rheumatism Technique!”

In Lu Xuan’s eyes, the area where the Dark Green spiritual plants grew had become a world wrapped in silver.

The speed of all spiritual plant branches visibly slowed down. They were willing but unable to help their nearby counterparts and could only fend for themselves.

In terms of individual strength, Sky Sword Sect Cultivators were far stronger than a single mutated Thousand Worm Hands. Once the spiritual plants lost their killing method of solidarity, they were naturally easily solved by dozens of Sky Sword Sect Cultivators.

“Thanks to Junior Brother Lu, your brilliant strategy was unpredictable and highly effective.”

After reaching the other side of the dark red passage, Fire Scale Child spoke to Lu Xuan amicably.

“I just provided a clue. The main contributors were our peers who possessed powerful ice techniques, high grade magical talismans and artifacts, and our senior brothers and sisters who finally cleared these mutated spiritual plants.” Lu Xuan said modestly. Considering his identity as a Spirit Plant Master, when cleaning up these mutated Thousand Worm Hands, Fire Scale Child and others had protected him, not allowing him to consume any spiritual power.

“Junior Brother Lu, there’s no need to be modest. Without your deep understanding of spiritual plants, it would be difficult for us to come up with this method based on our experience and observation.”

Wu Xie, who had a cold expression nearby, said with a smile, with a trace of appreciation and affirmation in his eyes.

“Alright, enough chit-chat, let’s go in and see what’s inside.”

The Sky Sword Sect Cultivators gradually entered the dark red passage.

Lu Xuan quietly fell to the back. A grey vine as thick as a finger drilled out from his pant leg and quietly entered the dark red spirit soil.

After entering the soil depths, the Demonic Vine grew rapidly, differentiating into several tentacle-like vines. It rushed towards the growing area of the Thousand Worm Hands at a flying speed, leaving behind traces of grey mucus. Having understood the specialty of the Mutated Thousand Worm Hands, there was no way he would miss such a rare species of spiritual plant.

When no one was noticing, he released the Demonic Vine, to see if he could find some mutated Thousand Worm Hands seeds in the area he had passed.

“Arrow Vines are strong in attack, Thousand Worm Hands are good at defense, only when both offense and defense are prepared can it be the right path.”
