The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 288
Chapter 288 Ancient Dragon Court (11)
The first thing they saw was an enormous ancient tree that was several hundred feet tall and covered the sky with luxuriant leaves.
However, the leaves of this ancient tree were strange … grey!
Beside this ancient tree, there was actually a small thatched cottage!
The two of them were stunned, “Why is there a small thatched cottage here? How strange!”
“Could it be that the owner of the sarcophagus used to live here? I’m afraid there won’t be anyone else here other than him, right?”
With curiosity in their hearts, they involuntarily walked towards the thatched cottage. Chang Wudi suddenly exclaimed, “Look at the grass in front of the thatched cottage!”
“Could it be that these are all Dragon Blood Grasses?” Li Qing was also secretly shocked.
The Dragon Blood Grass in front of him was more accurate than grass! It was actually a few meters tall and very thick. How could it look like there was even half a blade of grass?
This was clearly the Dragon Blood Grass that had been magnified hundreds of times!
“Why is the Dragon Blood Grass here so tall and luxuriant?” Both of them felt very strange.
In front of the small thatched cottage was a large area, densely packed with Dragon Blood Grass. There were simply too many of them, causing them to be somewhat surprised and uncertain.
He stretched out his hand and scratched the leaves of the Dragon Blood Grass. Instantly, bright red juice gushed out. It was clear and translucent, carrying a different fragrance. It was indeed the Dragon Blood Grass, and its effect seemed to be much better than ordinary Dragon Blood Grasses.
At this moment, a huge suction force suddenly came from above. The peerless grand formation in the Dragon Court was activated again, and countless multicolored lights gathered and entered the dragon’s mouth. A portion of the multicolored light flowed out from the dragon’s mouth and sparks fell down. A portion of it landed in the Dragon Blood Grass and was absorbed by it.
Seeing this scene, they suddenly realized, “So that’s how it is. It seems that these Dragon Blood Grasses were able to grow to this state after absorbing the multicolored light. No wonder the effect is much better than normal!”
Walking through the dragonblood grass, they were not in a hurry to pick it. They went straight to the thatched cottage. They were surprised to find that the thatched cottage looked extremely old. There were traces of time and dust all over the ground, but miraculously, it did not decay.
It was as if there was a mysterious force guarding it. After carefully comprehending it, there was actually a Grand Dao Concept emanating from it.
“Do you feel it?” Li Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.
“It seems to be there and it doesn’t seem to be there!” Chang Wudi’s expression also became calm.
“It seems to be the power of reincarnation!”
The two of them opened their eyes and let out a long breath. Just now, when they entered this state of mind, they felt as if they had seen through their previous lives.
“Let’s go into the thatched cottage and have a look!”
They gently pushed the wooden door open with a “creak”. It was very crude inside, the only bed, a table, and a chair.
It could be seen that although this thatched cottage seemed to have a mysterious power guarding it, and could remain uncorrupted for a long time, all the things inside were just ordinary things. With their strength, they could easily destroy it.
“Nothing!” The two of them couldn’t help but frown. They had thought that they would be able to obtain some treasure left behind by an expert, but in the end, it was actually just a thatched cottage with nothing else. This made them very disappointed.
They were unwilling and searched the thatched cottage for a long time, but they did not find anything!
In the end, they could only helplessly walk out of the thatched cottage.
“Fortunately, there is still Dragon Blood Grass!” They began to pick this large area of Dragon Blood Grass in front of them, and it was considered not a small harvest. It was not in vain for them to put all their effort into entering this place.
“This ancient tree seems a little strange!”
Apart from the thatched cottage and the Dragon Blood Grass, there was only one ancient tree left behind!
The two of them walked to the foot of the tree. This ancient tree was extremely large. The branches and leaves had spread out completely, and it probably covered an area of more than a hundred mu. Its vitality was extremely strong, but the leaves were grey. This was truly very strange.
The ancient trees were mottled, as if they had experienced countless years, yet there was actually a faint peculiar Dao charm. Li Qing quickly realized that this was the power of reincarnation! It was actually similar to the artistic conception in that small thatched cottage!
“Look, there are fruits on it!” Chang Wudi pointed.
Sure enough, the gray fruits were hidden among the dense branches and leaves. They were round, small in shape, and not many in number. At least, they were too sparse compared to this giant tree.
If he didn’t look carefully, he probably wouldn’t be able to discover the fruits within the leaves. After all, they were all a vast expanse of gray, and it was a bit difficult to distinguish them clearly.
“Pick a few and take a look.” Li Qing suddenly jumped onto the branch, reached out to pick a few gray fruits, and then jumped down.
Looking carefully, these gray fruits looked ugly and had rough peels. He gently twisted it and split it into two, revealing the flesh inside. It was also grey, shining with a bit of brilliance.
Taking a deep breath, Li Qing actually felt a little dazed. The feeling of reincarnation from his previous life suddenly surged into his heart.
He couldn’t help but be shocked. He didn’t expect that a mere smell would have such an effect! Isn’t this fruit too heaven-defying?
“I wonder if this fruit can be eaten? Will it be poisonous?” Chang Wudi seemed to be eager to try.
“I don’t know. Let me give it a try.” Li Qing had eaten the Immortal Spirit Fruit and was invulnerable to all poisons. Naturally, he wasn’t worried that the fruit would be poisonous.
Moreover, this fruit did not seem to be poisonous. Perhaps it could even surprise him.
He ate the cut fruit and quickly closed his eyes. He felt as if a long time had passed in his mind and he had experienced different periods of life. Everyone was experiencing the cycle of reincarnation.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, “This fruit is not poisonous. After eating it, you can experience the reincarnation of the human world!”
“What? Can you experience the reincarnation of the human world?” Chang Wudi was shocked, “If that’s really the case, then it would be too useful! Experiencing reincarnation and experiencing past events can temper a person’s state of mind!”
“How many are there in total? Let’s count them!”
Looking up, they quickly counted and came to a conclusion. Adding on the fruit that Li Qing had just eaten, there were a total of 99 fruits!
“Ninety-nine, is this a coincidence or something?” Li Qing was puzzled.
“Forget it, we can take them all off first.” Chang Wudi said.
Li Qing and Chang Wudi attacked one after another, jumped into the ancient tree, and plucked the remaining 98 fruits.
They divided the fruits equally and each got forty-nine.
“There shouldn’t be anything else, right?” Chang Wudi’s pair of thieving eyes rolled around.
“If not, we can leave this place.” Li Qing said after confirming that it was true.
“We can finally leave this damn place!” Chang Wudi also revealed a happy expression. This trip was considered to be full.
Just as they were about to leave, a huge suction force suddenly came from above. The peerless grand formation in the Dragon Court activated again, and countless multicolored lights converged over. Some of the multicolored lights overflowed from the dragon’s mouth, and sparks fell down.
The area where the multicolored light descended completely enveloped this place. Of course, Li Qing and Chang Wudi were also in it, so they couldn’t help but be stained with some multicolored light.
Chang Wudi couldn’t help but stretch out his hand, seemingly wanting to hold the brilliance in his hand. However, after the brilliance landed, it immediately fused into it and disappeared.
“Eh?” She couldn’t help but make a puzzled voice, “I feel that after these multicolored lights merged into my palm, my cultivation actually increased by a bit!”
“What! There are such benefits!” Li Qing was also shocked. He hurriedly checked his own situation. Just now, a multicolored light also landed on his head. However, he did not pay attention. Now, after Chang Wudi’s reminder, he immediately felt the difference.
“As expected! There has been a slight improvement in our cultivation! We can actually absorb the multicolored light and use it to increase our cultivation!”
Thinking of this, the two of them revealed expressions of surprise. This was truly a huge benefit! Cultivation was the foundation. Absorbing this multicolored light was actually able to directly increase one’s cultivation. This was simply too heaven-defying!
“Looks like we’re not in a hurry to get out. Let’s cultivate here for a while and absorb the multicolored light. Let’s see how effective this is!”
After the discussion was settled, the two of them immediately began to receive as much multicolored light as possible from the sky. After absorbing it, they began to sit cross-legged and cultivate.
After a while, the two of them opened their eyes at the same time. There was a trace of joy on their faces, “This time, I feel even more obvious. My cultivation has indeed increased by a lot! The rate of increase is really fast!”
Originally, this peerless grand formation was set up to nourish the sarcophagus inside the dragon’s mouth. However, some multicolored light would descend, allowing them to obtain some benefits from it.
In the following period of time, they stayed there temporarily and received the multicolored light every once in a while. After that, they began to sit down and cultivate. Their cultivation increased very quickly and their strength increased by leaps and bounds.
During this period of time, Li Qing’s cultivation quickly reached the peak of Xiantian 3rd layer. He encountered a bottleneck. As long as he broke through this barrier, he would be able to become an existence of Xiantian 4th layer True Essence Condensation.
Absorbing multicolored light here could be said to have saved several years of time!
Apart from receiving the multicolored light, he also began to consume the gray fruits and comprehend the power of reincarnation in the human world. Especially when he was sitting under that ancient tree, the effect was surprisingly good. There was a clear concept of reincarnation lingering in his heart.
What surprised him was that every time he woke up from the Reincarnation Concept and experienced the ups and downs of the world, he felt that his soul power had increased by a lot. It was as if fresh water had been poured into his soul! He didn’t know where this new soul force came from!
He involuntarily recalled the dream he had before, which was the purple sun that appeared in the dream when the Yin Yang Demon Emperor seized him!
Could it be that this new surge of soul power came from the purple sun?
