Chapter 238: The Witch Clan and the Sky-Eroding Vine
Luo Diandian was immediately confused, and Xiaohuo was also slightly alert to the old man opposite him.
The old man obviously knew the doubts in Luo Diandian's heart at this time, so he said,
"Girl, why don't you lend me a hand and talk."
Then he waved his fan, and the two figures disappeared silently in the square.
......
The two appeared in an unknown open space.
The old man just stood beside Luo Diandian, looking her up and down, and occasionally raised his nose to her.
Luo Diandian: ...
"Senior, I haven't taken a bath for several days..."
The old man was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting her to suddenly say such a thing.
He was immediately filled with frustration, so he coughed and stepped back.
Then he asked in a probing manner, "You have an aura that doesn't belong to you."
Hearing this, Luo Diandin's heart trembled. This was not her aura?
But I still pretended not to understand.
"Senior, you're joking. I naturally have a lot of external things on me..."
The old man opposite cast a dark gaze on Luo Diandian and said directly and pointedly,
"No, it's something hidden inside you."
Luo Diandian's pupils shrank slightly.
It was obvious that the other party was referring to the Xiao Zi in her body.
But even someone as strong as Lu Wuhui had to touch her to detect Xiao Zi. How could the other party detect her just by leaning against her and sniffing?
So Luo Diandian couldn't help but take a few steps back and became a little alert.
However, the old man raised his hand, signaling Luo Diandian not to be nervous.
"I mean no harm, you don't have to be afraid."
"After all...we are on the same path."
After he finished speaking, the old man smiled slightly.
Suddenly, a purple vine appeared behind him.
When Luo Diandian saw this, his eyes widened bigger than copper bells!
How could things actually unfold like this? The other party actually had the Sky-Erosion Vine in his body???
The old man's wisteria was obviously darker in color than hers, and even the patterns on it were much more mottled and complex.
He carried Zi Teng in front of Luo Diandian.
Luo Diandian hesitated for a moment before reaching out Xiao Zi and holding hands with the other party.
"I never thought that the seeds of my witch clan's Sky-Eroding Vine would be obtained by outsiders one day." The old man sighed with emotion.
Wu clan? Hearing this name for the first time, Luo Diandian was a little confused.
But then, the old man suddenly realized something, and the next moment he asked curiously,
"But you haven't learned the secrets of my witch clan. How did you suppress the vicious nature of the Sky-Eroding Vine?"
Luo Dian Dian was stunned, hesitated for a moment and said,
"...A friend of mine used his sword power to help me suppress it."
Sword intent?
The old man thought about it for a moment, but he had never heard of such a precedent.
However...it was obvious that the girl didn't want to say more, and it was obvious that she was still on guard.
Then the old man looked at Luo in front of him and said,
"I saw you in the disciple-recruiting square. I guess you're looking for a sect. Would you be willing to join my Wu clan?"
Facing the olive branch suddenly extended by the old man, Luo Diandian was confused, so he asked,
"Senior, I wonder what you mean by the Wu clan..."
The old man sighed, "My Wu clan has declined now, so it's normal that you haven't heard of it."
Then he began to tell the story,
"The Sky-Erosion Vine in your body was first obtained by our Wu clan's ancestors many years ago. When they first discovered the Sky-Erosion Vine, they were surprised to find that it had the ability to devour all kinds of energy."
"At the same time, the Sky-Eroding Vine can also exist in the human body as a parasite, helping cultivators absorb various energies and thus improve their cultivation."
"But as the Sky-Eroding Vine devours it, its ferocity increases. Therefore, our Wu clan's ancestors, generation after generation, have developed a secret method to control the Sky-Eroding Vine. We regard it as our clan's totem, and we have continued to grow and develop it."
Luo Dian was curious, "Then why did it fall into decline?"
"Because of divine punishment."
These four short words caused a huge uproar in Luo Diandian's heart.
A trace of sadness flashed across the old man's chaotic eyes, and then he said,
"You are already a Golden Core, and when you broke through before, didn't you notice anything unusual?"
When Luo Diandian heard this, he recalled the scene when he broke through the golden elixir and reacted.
"Is it a thunder tribulation?"
The old man nodded immediately, "That's right."
"The Sky-Eroding Vine is a creature that defies the will of heaven. Even a raging thunderstorm can absorb its energy. Such a thing that defies heaven will definitely not be recognized by the way of heaven."
"This increasingly powerful thunder tribulation is the concrete manifestation of heaven's punishment."
Luo Diandian finally understood.
At that time, she was still wondering why the blue thunder that only appeared in the Yuanying stage appeared when she had just broken through the Jindan stage.
OK, OK, it turns out it’s all Xiao Zi’s fault. It’s actually Xiao Zi who’s going to be struck by the thunder!
No wonder the Wu clan declined.
If you don't practice in order to survive, you will continue to decline.
However, once you start practicing, you will face intensified thunder tribulations when you break through, and you are in danger of dying at any time.
Luo Diandian wanted to say something but stopped herself. The more she thought about it, the more her scalp tingled.
She was about to reach the Nascent Soul stage, and if this thunder tribulation was even stronger...
"Nowadays, few people in my Wu clan fuse the Sky-Eroding Vine anymore. Instead, they delve into the art of spells and talismans. However, they are still inevitably affected by the ancestral punishment, but the impact is getting smaller."
"I originally wanted to find someone with exceptional talent to train, hoping to inject fresh blood into my Wu clan. If someone's talent is mediocre, I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to resist the influence of the heavenly punishment."
"I just didn't expect to run into an outsider like you who possesses the Sky-Erosion Vine."
Listening to the old man's words, Luo Dianxin felt a chill in his heart.
So she couldn't help but ask, "Senior, is there any way to remove this Sky-Eroding Vine?"
The old man was silent for a while before saying, "Yes."
Luo Diandian's eyes lit up slightly, and a little hope arose again.
"Split the pill."
Instantly, I was hit rock bottom again, like I was on a roller coaster: ...
Listening to your words is like listening to a speech.
Wouldn't he become a cripple after splitting the elixir? Then he wouldn't have to worry about heavenly punishment.
"But...it's not like there haven't been people who have endured divine punishment."
Seeing Luo Diandian so depressed, the old man spoke.
"The first generation of elders of my Wu clan relied on the Sky-Eroding Vine to survive the thunderstorms."
"After absorbing the lightning tribulation, the Sky-Eroding Vine will undergo a qualitative change. In the end, it even faintly touches that barrier."
That barrier? Could it be ascension?
"Then what?" Luo Diandian asked quickly.
"But unfortunately, he eventually died in the battle to seal the ghost clan." The old man said with some regret.
The Ghost Sealing War is an unprecedented battle between the world of immortal cultivation and the world of ghosts.
Many peerless geniuses have fallen in the world of immortal cultivation before those rebellious ghosts were suppressed, which brought peace to the world of immortal cultivation and the human world in the past few years.
Now the few remaining ghosts can only hide here and there with their tails between their legs.
Luo Diandian knew some of the great history of the world of immortal cultivation, so naturally she knew about this battle.
The Wu clan started to decline after they lost the elder who was in charge of them, right?
Now that things have come to this, does Luo Diandian still have any choice?
Now that Lu Wuhui's Merciless Sword is no longer suppressing her, if she still wants to use Xiao Zi to practice, she can only join the Wu Clan and look for ways to suppress its ferocity.
There's no way to avoid it, so I have to do it!
If she can withstand the thunder tribulation once, she can withstand it the second time. What is there to be afraid of!
But...this Wu Clan leader actually also has a talisman array? This is a rare piece of good news amidst all the bad news.
So Luo nodded and said, "Okay, I agree to join the Wu clan."
