Chapter 1187: Chapter 1184: Divine Wood Cave Heaven, A Glimpse of the Portal Chapter 1187: Chapter 1184: Divine Wood Cave Heaven, A Glimpse of the Portal In the void,
Lu Xuan and Lin Jiangyuan stood on a rapidly moving emerald Flying Boat.
The surfaces of the Flying Boat were covered with intricate Spirit Patterns, layers of Spiritual Light surged over, keeping all dangerous entities in the void at bay.
âFriend Lu, it would take about ten days to travel from the Sword Sect to the Divine Wood Sect. You can take this opportunity to rest and recuperate on the way.â
Lin Jiangyuanâs expression bore a trace of barely concealed fatigue, but he still smiled in dealing with Lu Xuan.
âFriend Lin, Lu Mou rarely leaves the Sword Sect. This is the perfect opportunity to witness various sights of the Cultivation World.â
Lu Xuan casually fabricated.
âHaha, no wonder True Sword Master is so concerned about Friend Luâs trip to the Divine Wood Sect.â
Lin Jiangyuan chuckled softly.
âThe Elder knows Iâm not skilled in combat, and heâs worried that I might encounter some danger.â
Lu Xuan fabricates a reply.
âHowever, with the company of two Daoists, the journey should be safe and smooth.â
He promptly added.
The Flying Boat was incredibly fast and encountered no obstacles along the way; they even arrived at the Divine Wood Sect half a day ahead of schedule.
The Divine Wood Sect was located within a boundless mountain range, the most striking feature being the countless Sky-reaching Spirit Trees.
In fact, the entire Sect was formed from many different shapes of thousand-zhang, ten-thousand-zhang Spirit Trees interwoven together, with a dense vitality detectable from dozens of miles away.
âSuch an environment is indeed suitable for the growth of various Spirit Plants. No wonder your Sect is renowned in the entire Cultivation World for the Path of Spiritual Plants.â
Lu Xuan and Lin Jiangyuan praised as they descended from the sky.
âFriend Lu is being too kind. Compared to the Sword Sect, we still fall short.â
Lin Jiangyuan smiled, then changed the topic.
âThe millennia-old Divine Wood grows within the heart of the Sect Cave Heaven. Given Friend Luâs special status, entering it requires reporting to the Sect Leader and the Elders.â
âPlease accompany Junior Lin to rest first. We will depart for the Divine Wood Cave Heaven tomorrow.â
Zhang Jingxian spoke slowly.
âNo problem, this will be a good chance for Friend Lin to show me around the Divine Wood Sect.â
Lu Xuan agreed cheerfully.
They entered a majestic palace, and immediately many maids of superior appearance and temperament brought over Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew.
âFriend Lu, the Spirit Brew made by our Divine Wood Sect is not far behind those few Fifth Grade Spirit Brews of yours. I invite you to taste it.â
âSure.â
Lu Xuan laughed as he picked up a White Jade Wine Cup, swirled the amber-colored Spirit Brew in the cup, and took a small sip.
âThe flavor is lingering and far-reaching, balanced and mellow, and it seems to also have the effect of rapidly restoring the bodyâs Mana. Indeed, itâs very good.â
He savored it intently, showing a satisfied expression on his face.
âHaha, Friend Lu is truly impressive to spot the unique qualities of this Spirit Brew at a glance,â Lin Jiangyuan laughed heartily.
After indulging in the Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew, he took Lu Xuan on a tour around the Divine Wood Sect, thoroughly playing the host.
The next day, the two arrived early at Lu Xuanâs resting place.
âPlease lead the way, Lu Mou is ready,â spoke Lu Xuan, who had transformed from his White Lotus Avatar, stepping out of the house with a smile.
âSorry for the trouble, Friend Lu.â
Their expressions were solemn as Zhang Jingxian took out a verdant Spirit Leaf from the Storage Bag. The veins on the Spirit Leaf were slightly raised, resembling human veins.
He channeled a great deal of Mana into the leaf veins, and soon the leaf emitted layers of green light that enveloped the three of them, causing them to disappear.
In the hazy confusion, Lu Xuan entered a miraculous space.
Before his eyes, varying shades of green were filled with an incredibly rich vitality. Several Sky-reaching giant trees seemed to act as supports for the heavens themselves, their Divine Senses unable to see the ends.
From afar, one could perceive layer upon layer of prohibitions and restrictions, and one could faintly sense the rich vitality within, unaware of what high-rank spiritual medicine was being planted.
âFriend Lu, this place is within the Divine Wood Cave Heaven, where a large number of high-rank spirit plants are grown, and several millennium-old spirit trees are planted inside. For our sect, they hold supreme value. I hope Friend Lu can help keep some things within the Cave Heaven a secret.â
Elder Zhang Jingxian spoke solemnly.
Lu Xuan immediately withdrew his divine sense, his expression normal, and quickly took a stand:
âRest assured, both daoist friends, Lu Mou will not commit any overstepping actions, and also ensures that nothing seen or heard within the Cave Heaven will be divulged.â
âGood, this way please, Friend Lu.â
Seeing Lu Xuanâs attitude, Elder Zhang Jingxian felt slightly relieved inside.
Lu Xuanâs visit to Divine Wood Cave Heaven this time was specially requested by the two of them from the Dongxuan Sword Sect. It wouldnât be appropriate, given the circumstances, to make Lu Xuan swear an oath against his heart demon, so they had to choose to trust in Lu Xuanâs character.
From a distance, two streaks of emerald spiritual light shot over at high speed and landed in front of the three of them in the blink of an eye.
âFriend Lu, let me introduce you. These two are cultivators from our sect who guard the Divine Wood Cave Heaven.â
âThis is Elder Brother Mu Yuanshan. With his mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivation, he has stayed in Divine Wood Cave Heaven for several hundred years, mainly responsible for the cultivation and maintenance of those divine trees.â
Lin Jiangyuan pointed to a middle-aged cultivator with a cold expression and said.
âThis is Junior Jiang Hengbai, at the early Nascent Soul stage realm, responsible for helping to clear the Divine Wood Cave Heaven and assist Elder Brother Mu.â
He then introduced to Lu Xuan a lean young man with narrow eyes and a sharp gaze.
âElder Brother Mu, Junior Jiang, this is Friend Lu Xuan from the Dongxuan Sword Sect, who has unparalleled profound mastery in the path of spiritual plants.â
âPleased to meet Friend Lu.â
Mu Yuanshan nodded slightly.
âGood to meet you both, daoist friends.â
Lu Xuan replied with a smile.
âElder Brother Zhang, Elder Lin, why bring an outsider to the Cave Heaven?â
The lean young man glanced at Lu Xuan, frowned slightly, and spoke directly.
âJunior Jiang, watch your words!â
A hint of anger appeared on Elder Zhang Jingxianâs face.
âFriend Lu was invited by the two of us from thousands of miles away. Your rudeness is a loss of face for our Divine Wood Sect!â
He scolded loudly.
âI just feel that for a spiritual plant problem that even the Divine Wood Sect cannot solve, itâs even harder for an outsider.â
âMore importantly, I do not wish to expose the Sectâs Cave Heaven to an outsider.â
The lean cultivator lowered his head. Even though his posture softened, he still couldnât help but retort.
âWhat time is it, and youâre still thinking about this?!â Elder Zhang Jingxianâs anger grew even more.
âIf the millennium spirit trees were to completely wither, could you bear that responsibility?!â
âOnly by setting aside sectarian biases and embracing the strengths of many can we possibly resolve the problem with the spirit trees.â
âAdjust your attitude; otherwise, donât blame your elder for being heartless.â
He coldly said to the lean young man, his hand holding a green cane bursting with spiritual light.
If this junior brother here continued to retort, in order to eliminate any hidden danger and allow Lu Xuan to inspect the millennium spirit trees with peace of mind, he would not hesitate to first clean house.
The young manâs lips moved nervously for a few moments but in the end, he chose silence, following everyone with his head lowered.
âFriend Lu, I apologize for the scene you had to witness, and I ask that you donât take Junior Jiangâs words to heart.â
âJunior Jiang is in charge of guarding the millennium spirit trees, and when problems arise with the spirit trees, no one is more anxious than he and Elder Brother Mu.â
âAfter a long time without a resolution, itâs natural for oneâs mindset to become somewhat unbalanced, momentarily making him distrustful of you, daoist friend. Please, forgive him. I, Zhang Mou, guarantee he will not interfere with you, Friend Lu.â
Elder Zhang Jingxian conveyed his slight apology to Lu Xuan through a psychic message.
âNot to worry, letâs go take a look at the spirit trees first.â
Lu Xuan chuckled lightly and responded.
