After stepping through the gates of the Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace, the gate behind me slammed shut with a bang, and a burst of fragrance immediately invigorated me. Before me lay a sea of flowers, with all sorts of unknown flowers and plants growing wildly, vying for attention in a riot of colors, a truly magnificent sight!
A floating bridge spanned the sea of flowers, gleaming with a cold, eerie light. Its material was unknown, but it felt cool and refreshing underfoot, instantly invigorating the senses. The Supreme Demon Ancestor strolled ahead casually, then, noticing Li Sisui's curious expression, turned and smiled:
"I almost forgot, young friend, this is your first visit today. This sea of flowers under your feet is a medicinal herb field that I personally planted. It has a wide variety of species, almost everything imaginable. However, even so, we are still missing several ingredients for refining the Tongshi Pill..."
This floating bridge is crafted from ten-thousand-year-old cold, dark wood, making it a decent magical artifact and a helpful tool for me in tending my herb fields. The only drawback is that these herbs have been exposed to demonic energy for a long time, rendering them not only ineffective but also completely poisonous to you. If you were a demonic cultivator, hehe, you probably wouldn't be able to leave once you're here!
For once, the Supreme Demon Ancestor revealed a proud expression. Li Sisui deeply agreed. The sea of medicine under his feet was truly magnificent. If he could use it all, wouldn't he become stronger just by taking medicine? What would be the point of working hard?
Li Sisui gazed down at the myriad forms of the sea of herbs below, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. His inner shock was indescribable. He reached out and touched the armrest made of ten-thousand-year-old cold and dark wood. It was icy to the touch, and a cool sensation spread through his mind. He became much more awake in an instant. Good heavens, even someone as ignorant as him could sense the extraordinary nature of these things. Any one of them would probably be fought over if thrown outside!
Following the Demon Ancestor up the bridge, when they reached the middle of the floating bridge, there were two towering trees on either side of it. Li Si had been walking along the bridge, and although the medicinal fields beneath his feet were lush, they all grew under the floating bridge. He never expected there to be two such tall trees here, much taller than the floating bridge, and he couldn't see the tops of the trees when he looked up!
A thick, medicinal mist filled the surroundings, making the two towering trees appear and disappear, adding to their mystique. Li Si looked up and couldn't help but sigh:
"Wow, it's so high!"
Perhaps stimulated by the strong aroma of the medicine, he couldn't help but sneeze the next second...
Achoo!
With each breath Li Si took, the thick fog around him was dispersed quite a bit. After a sneeze, he felt much better. However, he wondered if he had inhaled any particles when he took a deep breath and whether he had expelled them after sneezing.
Just then, he felt a surge of heat in his abdomen, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his plain robe almost instantly soaked through. Seeing Li Sisui's unusual behavior, the Supreme Demon Ancestor stopped and stared intently, immediately revealing a wry smile. Li Sisui felt extremely uncomfortable under the Supreme Demon Ancestor's gaze. After a long while, he heard the Demon Ancestor sigh:
"Young friend...you really have incredible luck (practically superhuman luck)...These two giant trees have existed since the birth of Demon Mountain. They are called the Bodhi Ancestor Trees, and what you just absorbed was a seed from this tree, the Sumeru Bodhi Seed..."
A hint of pain flashed across the Supreme Demon Ancestor's face. Looking at the bewildered Li Sisui, he shook his head helplessly and continued:
"A mountain contains a world, a single seed holds Mount Sumeru! The seeds of this tree are ever-changing, sometimes enormous, sometimes minuscule. They are the most difficult fruit to harvest in this medicinal field. The seed you inhaled, according to my calculations using the Nen Sutra, should not fall for another 180 years. I never expected it to be absorbed by you, young friend... Alas, consider it my greeting gift..."
Li Si blinked, then sneezed. He'd just eaten a ridiculously rare seed? He then looked embarrassed and said:
"Then, then, didn't you just say that this medicinal field is poisonous to me? Does that mean I'm about to die from the poison?"
Seeing that Li Sisui's face suddenly showed no joy, but instead revealed a hint of worry, the Supreme Demon Ancestor was both annoyed and helpless, and said:
"Looking around this medicinal field, only the seeds of the Bodhi Ancestral Tree can be considered a tonic for you, young friend. I was careless. Well, it's too late to say anything more now. Rest assured, young friend, the Sumeru Bodhi Seed is an invaluable tonic for cultivators. If you can fully refine and absorb it, it will be equivalent to at least a thousand years of hard cultivation!"
"A thousand... a thousand years of arduous cultivation?"
Li Sisui's eyes widened in disbelief. As the burning sensation in his abdomen disappeared, it was replaced by a warm feeling throughout his limbs and bones. After sinking into his sea of consciousness, Li Sisui was even more surprised to find that in just a short while, his consciousness, which was previously like a shallow puddle in a desert, had transformed into a shallow bay!
Overjoyed, he quickly made a thought, and the transparent short sword in his consciousness reappeared. However, it no longer resembled a short sword. It had not only become a long sword, but its blade was also clear and solid, and the fine lines on the hilt had become lifelike. It was truly a peerless sword!
As expected, as long as one continues to absorb cultivation, the sea of consciousness will not only grow stronger, but also the transparent short sword in the booklet's cultivation technique will begin to evolve at a speed visible to the naked eye. Now it seems that the slow sword domain has also risen with the tide and reached a new level!
However, he was currently in the Demon Mountain, with no spiritual energy around him. To verify the changes in the Slow Sword Domain, he would have to wait until he returned to Sage Hill. Even if the Slow Sword Domain did not grow, Li Sisui was already very satisfied with the changes in the transparent short sword in front of him. It seemed that as long as he continued to absorb cultivation, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds!
Li Sisui was overjoyed, his eyes crinkling with laughter, while the Supreme Demon Ancestor was filled with resentment. Only then did he realize just how terrifying the one whose destiny was predicted by the Nian Shen Jing was. This was good, as long as he wholeheartedly recruited this person, who in the Demon Mountain could become his opponent?
The Sumeru Bodhi Seed, which only compensates for a thousand years of arduous cultivation, is something even I, an old man, have long coveted. It is an astonishing tonic for demonic cultivators, not only increasing their cultivation by ten thousand years but also nourishing and refining their demonic roots, allowing them to undergo a transformative metamorphosis, a qualitative leap...
What a waste!
The Supreme Demon Ancestor took several deep breaths to calm his nearly outburst of emotions. He could only console himself with the thought that one must be prepared to wait and see, and that it was a long-term strategy to catch a big fish.
call!
I had planned to take this person to tour the main hall, but now it seems I'm glad I didn't. Otherwise, who knows how those treasures in the main hall would have left me. I'd better hurry to the secret chamber and get rid of these two as soon as possible. If this continues, this guy might even take away the entire Purple Extreme Heavenly Palace...
“小……小友，这边请，前面就是老夫平日闭关的密室，处于空间动荡的缝隙之上，在这里破碎虚空，再合适不过，成功率也会大幅提升！”
李似随一听，两眼放光，低头看了眼怀中抿嘴沉睡的冷如霜，旋即顺着无上魔祖所指方向，大踏步走去，终于要离开这里了！
