Chapter 875: Chapter 878: Nourishing the Treasure-Seeking Vine!_1

Lin Zhen and Lv Tianhua requested two days of rest before turning their backs on the group.

Lv Tianhua asked Lin Zhen not to stray too far, but Lin Zhen had no intention of cooperating.

The Cloud-climbing Vine was a large entity that was sure to create a loud commotion when cultivated, which would undoubtedly expose its location on this desolate plot of land.

Lin Zhen immediately took flight and headed for a meteorite that had been previously explored.

Behind him, Lv Tianhua and the others watched as Lin Zhen disappeared into the starry space and returned to the rear, causing them to finally retract their gazes.

Lv Tianhua still harbored some worries, apprehensive that Lin Zhen might abandon them and head off on his own to search for the Divine Stone. But since Lin Zhen had gone behind them, there was no need to be worried.

However, he still couldn’t feel completely at ease as he cautioned Mu En, “Check up on Lin Zhen every now and then, observe whether he’s left the meteorite.”

“Don’t fret, Captain. There’s no way he’ll ditch us and go it alone. Damn, enjoying our protection but still having the gall to complain. If you’re so capable, why don’t you go find Soul Chasing King and the others? See if they’re willing to take you in!”

Lv Tianhua frowned slightly, “Keep it down, Lin Zhen has made contributions for us, and besides, Chen Yuan is still here and they have a good relationship.”

Mu En simply curled his lip and didn’t say anything more, getting back to searching for the Divine Stone.

After Lin Zhen landed on the far side of the meteorite, a duplicate form of himself materialized.

The duplicate sat cross-legged on top of the meteorite, continuing its contemplation of the Shadowless Step stone slab while acting as a stand-in for Lin Zhen’s physical form.

Lin Zhen, on the other hand, immediately summoned Chris.

“Chris, check the Storm Eye map, find the most suitable location for me, and calculate the approximate direction.”

Since everyone copied a version of the Storm Eye map, it comes in handy now as Chris immediately started to examine it.

“Master, your chosen route into the Storm Eye is through the 76th asteroid transfer station. In this direction is the progress of the Ground Clan, while on the opposite side of the Storm Eye is the direction of the Endless Species. If you’re looking for a good place to cultivate, I advise you to head East or West.”

Lin Zhen contemplated, “The East should be the Intersecting Continent, and the West should be the Planet Graveyard, correct?”

“Correct, these people are currently looking for Divine Stones on this minor battlefield. When they exhaust their search here, they will advance towards the two directions, where the majority of the Divine Stones can be found.”

“Are there any individuals currently at those two locations?”

“There should be, Master. All the strong experts have gathered at the Storm Eye this time, and your strength here doesn’t even qualify as average, it’s more at the lower end. There are also quite a few who are capable of using escape techniques, so there must be experts who have already used them to directly reach the two core areas.”

Chris suddenly changed her tone, “I suggest that Master goes to the Planet Graveyard first. The Planet Graveyard is vast, and you can find a safe place to start cultivating. If you are lucky enough to seize a good spot, you’ll be in a lead everywhere.”

“Okay, let’s head towards the Planet Graveyard. I hope the chaotic spatial coordinates here won’t cause too much trouble.”

Lin Zhen checked the coordinates again, still feeling somewhat uneasy. His Luo Heavenly Escape technique hasn’t reached full mastery, so he couldn’t guarantee his arrival time amidst the Spatial Turbulence here.

He could only hope the deviation wouldn’t be too extreme.

With a quick motion of his hands, he activated his skill at the speed of light.

A Spatial Tear opened.

In a flicker, Lin Zhen had vanished into the spatial rift.

The sweeping force that emanated from the Spatial Turbulence caused Lin Zhen to stagger back a few steps.

He walked forward against the chaotic currents, following the planned coordinates for a while until he felt his movements start to deviate.

But even with the deviation, he had to plow forward. Even if he didn’t end up in the Planet Graveyard, any other place would be an improvement over his current location.

Opening another Spatial Tear, the scenery before Lin Zhen dramatically transformed.

The area had been void of anything moments ago, but now he found himself on a large landmass!

Beneath his feet was hard, dark-gold colored sand that was incredibly tough to the touch.

“Interesting… The hardness of this sand is on par with the Permanent Crystal. I’ve been in Tianfang City for so long but never seen such a planet or continent before. Where exactly am I?”

“Chris, analyze this right now.”

Chris promptly replied, “Master, how long did you spend in the spatial rift?”

“I didn’t keep track, I probably strayed off course. While fending off the Spatial Turbulence, I think I travelled quite a distance and somehow changed direction.”

“Not just somewhat, this is outrageously off! You entered the Storm Eye from the north, but now you’re in the south. You seem to have ended up in the territory of the Endless Species.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhen was startled, “I’ve actually ended up here?”

“Yes, you should quickly find a place to cultivate. Don’t roam around too much, in case you encounter a martial artist from the Endless Species; that could put you in danger.”

Lin Zhen nodded in agreement. Remembering the priority here was to ensure safety. Even though tearing open space needed a significant amount of energy and he couldn’t use it consecutively, he needed to find a place to rest and cultivate.

“It seems that few people have been on this continent under my feet, so there should be Divine Stones here. Rather than searching around, it’s better to stay put. I’ll stay here.”

“That’s possible. Master, you can start now. First, find a secluded location to hide, then begin immediately.”

Lin Zhen nodded and looked around. The surrounding area was filled with dark red sand, and a few mounds of dirt were visible at a distance.

He promptly moved to the back of the mounds and pulled out the Emperor’s Divine Sword.

“Hiyah~~! ~!”

A sword light fell, the ground split under Lin Zhen’s blow, and he immediately leaped into the underground.

The sands fell back to the ground, quickly restoring it to its original state.

After hiding underground, Lin Zhen immediately entered his inner world.

Standing before the huge Cloud-climbing Vine, Lin Zhen had a thought, and the soil in the Dark Star Space started to churn.

Within the inner world, the master is the god, capable of moving mountains and rivers freely. A single thought from Lin Zhen caused the soil to churn, forcibly pushing the deeply buried Cloud-climbing Vine out.

The roots of the Cloud-climbing Vine almost permeated the entire Dark Star. If Lin Zhen wasn’t the master of the Dark Star, it would have been virtually impossible to pull out this vine.

Even so, it took a full hour before the Cloud-climbing Vine fully revealed its true form.

“Master, the length of the Cloud-climbing Vine has been calculated. It’s 150,000 meters long with a diameter of 50 meters!”

“Good Lord, if you hadn’t discovered this, it’d have caused me a great disaster.”

After the Cloud-climbing Vine was pulled out, the Dark Star Space returned to its original state. As the master of the Dark Star, Lin Zhen could sense that the Dark Star was declining, but with the Cloud-climbing Vine gone, the atmosphere was slowly recovering.

The Star Fruit Tree, too, whose leaves were wilting, was gradually turning green.

Lin Zhen could even see bits of Star Crystal quietly appearing. The Star Fruit Tree had come back to life.

Lin Zhen took hold of the Cloud-climbing Vine and, using spiritual power, pulled it directly into the sky.

With a length of over several tens of thousands of meters, it went deep into the starry sky of the inner world.

“Master, use the fastest sword to cut open the surface of the Cloud-climbing Vine and absorb the juice inside. These are excellent nourishments and can neutralize the Dan poison in your body.”

“Okay!”

Lin Zhen picked up the Emperor’s Divine Sword, took a couple of swings, then suddenly slashed out!

A bolt of lightning fell, and the tens of thousands of meters long Cloud-climbing Vine was immediately split open!

But it didn’t cut through, it just opened the surface, and the green liquid full of vitality inside surged out like a river.

Black Hole Beast Transform!

Lin Zhen twisted his body in the air and transformed into the gigantic Black Hole Beast, instantly drawing a deep breath of the juice from the Cloud-climbing Vine!

Controlling his Black Hole Power to prevent the Cloud-climbing Vine from being consumed, his Death Ripples only reached where the juice was. After swallowing, Lin Zhen’s eyes lit up like two searchlights.

“Hiss hiss…..roar~~!!”

The repressed Dan poison within his body, at this moment, was actually melting with the juice!

“It worked!”

“Master, before progressing to Three Flowers Middle Stage, place a Heavenly Spirit Fruit inside the Cloud-climbing Vine, then inject your own blood into it to let it quickly recover its power. Whether the Cloud-climbing Vine can evolve into a holy class and become a part of you as Treasure-seeking Vine depends on now.”

“Got it!”

Without any hesitation, Lin Zhen immediately placed a Heavenly Spirit Fruit inside the cut of the Cloud-climbing Vine.

The Heavenly Spirit Fruit, as expected of a treasure from a deity, instantly made the damaged Cloud-climbing Vine recover. The large cut was visibly healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lin Zhen bit his finger again, allowing his blood to flow into the body of the Cloud-climbing Vine.

“Master, you can now meditate. Note that you can also use the Heavenly Spirit Fruits. When you feel that you’ve lost too much blood and can’t hold on any longer, take one Heavenly Spirit Fruit. When the entire Cloud-climbing Vine changes color, it will become a part of you. I hope you succeed in one go.”

Lin Zhen nodded, allowing his blood to continue to flow into the Cloud-climbing Vine.

Lin Zhen is a Black Hole Beast with a Super Divine Body. His blood concentration is very high. A single drop of blood causes a length of several meters of the Cloud-climbing Vine to turn dark red.

However, with the Cloud-climbing Vine being several tens of thousands of meters long, it would need Lin Zhen’s at least ten thousand drops of blood.

As drops of blood fell, the color of the Cloud-climbing Vine began to change.

Lin Zhen hung in the sky, and the Cloud-climbing Vine stretched from heaven to earth, like a line soaked in blood, undergoing transformation from top to bottom.

“Phew~~!! This is so tiring!”

With blood flowing down like water, Lin Zhen gradually started feeling dizzy.

Even with his strong recovery capacity as the Immortal Spiritual Body, he couldn’t bear the so-called devouring of the Cloud-climbing Vine.

An hour passed, and half of the Cloud-climbing Vine had completely turned red.

Finally, Lin Zhen couldn’t bear it anymore. If this continued, he would be absorbed by the Cloud-climbing Vine and turned into a dried husk. But he had gone too far to back out now, so he took out a Heavenly Spirit Fruit and swallowed it in one gulp.

The strong aura rose from his Dantian, instantly replenishing the blood strength Lin Zhen had lost.

His condition turned out to be better than ever before!

“What a Heavenly Spirit Fruit! It made me fully recover. Let’s do it again. This time, I’m definitely going to cultivate the Treasure-seeking Vine!”
