Chapter 878 Day 2 Of The First Trial (4)
“If I pluck this, then it is mine. I won’t share it.”
Ji Yuan’s reply stunned everyone.
Chu Lixue rolled her eyes but she was not upset; it was because she knew that Ji Yuan simply did not want to pluck it even if he was able to do so.
So she pretended a smile, “That is perfectly alright with us.”
When she had said that, even Xiao Muhan, Yi Ling and Spirit Consort Miao Humei was surprised.
Then Chu Lixue sighed softly, “But how do we know if this Great Spiritas Hero Ji Yuan is really a fake super cultivator or a real one? Maybe he can’t even pluck this Hundred Blazing Rose and that is why he claims he wants it if he can pluck it. The problem is, can he even pluck it in the first place?”
Ji Yuan smiled bitterly; he knew that his senior sister was baiting him and he did not want to be baited by her.
Chu Lixue turned to the others to say, “If Ji Yuan can pluck this Hundred Blazing Rose, will you allow him to keep it?”
Xiao Muhan shrugged his shoulders before he grinned, “Of course. Finder keeper.”
Yi Ling and Spirit Consort Miao Humei were both nodding, “He has the right.”
Chu Lixue turned to Ji Yuan to smile divinely at him, “Even if you don’t pluck it, the others that come along this way will also pluck it. Do you want that to actually happen?”
Ji Yuan muttered, “That may be a possibility…”
“But the most important thing is, I will be disappointed with you for not plucking this for yourself because you are not capable enough.”
Ji Yuan frowned to himself: I am not falling for your bait, senior sister…
But he quickly grinned, “Of course I am capable. Of course, I can pluck this Hundred Blazing Rose.”
“Can you? Really?” Chu Lixue gave Ji Yuan a doubtful look.
Ji Yuan frowned, “Of course I am able to!”
He quickly shouted, “Give away to me!”
“Don’t end up destroy it,” Chu Lixue giggled.
Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes…
But he quickly laughed, “Even if this is a 10 million year old spirit plant, I can still pluck it.”
He rubbed his hands as he raised Xiang Li high above him and he had displayed his Ultra Sword Spirit, “Everyone step back behind me! I am going to display my miracle sword art now!”
“Miracle sword art?!” Yi Ling, the Spirit Consort Miao Humei and Xiao Muhan were looking quite astonished.
Xiao Muhan had a sudden realization, “You don’t mean your grand cross, right? You can’t use that. It will destroy the spirit plant…”
“You have a miracle sword art?” Yi Ling was in disbelief.
Ji Yuan chuckled as he raised all his profound strength into his sword arm before he shouted loudly, “Sacred Sword Pillar!”
A streak of white light had flashed from Ji Yuan because his divine sword had flashed forth like a white streak of flare and in the next blink of an eye, the stem of the Hundred Blazing Rose was cut into half! 𝒏𝒪𝒱𝓔𝓁𝑵𝓮xt.𝑪𝒪𝐦
And Ji Yuan immediately flashed forward with a grin as he caught hold of the Hundred Blazing Rose.
The profound power of this sword art was extremely powerful and condensed; it was indeed a miracle sword art.
Moreover, it was more powerful than the Super Heavenly Light of the Coiling Dragon that Ji Yuan had just used by 3 times.
Yi Ling, Xiao Muhan and Spirit Consort Miao Humei had suddenly realized that killing the 8th rank monster earlier was a piece of cake for Ji Yuan and they were beginning to believe that his battle with the Immortal Divine Lord Kong Rong was actually much more difficult than they believed to be.
However, miracle sword arts or any miracle profound art required the cultivator to raise their profound strength to the 8th cultivation realm in order to use it. It may even require the use of a powerful profound array to use it or even consume the true essence of a cultivator just to use it.
But it was obvious to them that Ji Yuan had only displayed his profound strength to only the 7th cultivation realm and he was not even breathless from its use.
Chu Lixue muttered coldly but she was also smiling coyly, “Show off…”
In the past, it was true but Ji Yuan now had the use of an emperor-step sword and also an ultra sword spirit. Therefore, he needed not require so much profound strength to use the Sacred Sword Pillar anymore.
It must note that the Sacred Sword Pillar was 3 times weaker than his grand cross though but it was only because his grand cross was too powerful and destructive that Ji Yuan could not really use his grand cross too many times. And also his grand cross was actually evolved from the use of two Sacred Sword Pillar for close melee rather as a projectile profound attack.
The Sacred Sword Pillar can actually be used for melee but the profound power was so great that it will actually take Ji Yuan more profound strength to suppress it so that he would not injure himself. That was why he has to release it.
For Ji Yuan, releasing his divine sword in this manner is not an issue since divine swords can easily be recalled within range of their masters. So it actually did not make too much of a difference to him.
Ji Yuan grinned as he turned back and at the same time his Xiang Li was already back to his hand, “See! This is too easy! Haha…”
Xiao Muan, Yi Ling and Spirit Consort Miao Humei were all smiling weakly; it was easy for Ji Yuan to say this to them but it was not easy for them to accomplish since they lack even a celestial-step or better divine sword nor did they have a miracle profound art to back their profound power.
Chu Lixue had a hidden divine sword to her waist and she had a chance to pluck this spirit plant but at this moment, she did not want to display her more powerful divine sword as this was her trump card.
That was the reason why she could still smile so divinely and coyly at Ji Yuan.
She wanted Ji Yuan to pluck it because she did not believe that Ji Yuan would dare to refuse her request to have it. After all, she now belonged to him.
Ji Yuan said to the broken stem of the Hundred Blazing Rose, “I didn’t cut you completely from your roots. In another 100 000 years, you can regrow again. As for your flower, I must now keep it…”
When he had said that, he was about to throw the Hundred Blazing Rose to his spatial ring when he had suddenly heard a broken voice that said to him in his soul sea, “Mas… master… don’t put me in your spatial ring… or I will die…”
Ji Yuan was startled for he had recognized the broken voice to be the voice that told the gigantic horned beetles to attack them. He had thought that this broken voice belonged to the gigantic horned beetles because it was uncommon for high level profound monsters to display signs of communication.
The broken voice had also startled Xiang Li and Anyang because it was speaking in Ji Yuan’s soul sea.
“I’m a million year old spirit plant… so it isn’t surprising that I have the spiritual strength to talk inside of you…”
“I can sense that you have a wondrous spiritual pearl in your soul sea… if you put me inside your soul sea, then I can even regrow my roots… and I can help you to grow your cultivation strength as well as your divine swords…”
Ji Yuan was truly startled as he said in his soul sea: Really? But how the heck can I put you in my soul sea? You are a physical plant…
“I am a spirit plant… master. I can turn to spirit form and be in your soul sea…”
Anyang whispered to Xiang Li: I truly believe our lord needs some cultivation lesson. How did he become a great saint with his puny knowledge in the first place…
Ji Yuan laughed: Haha… I see…
Actually, Ji Yuan was the same as 99% of the other cultivators out there; they were not the blessed sons of the heavens and they did not care for knowledge that was outside their sphere of interest.
If anyone says that they are good in everything given the long lives that they have, then that person is lying. It is because without interest, it is impossible to be even good in one subject. It is more like general knowledge and not a specialized knowledge.
It is the same as saying a person is an Einstein because of the Einstein knowledge that is gained. Having Einstein knowledge doesn’t mean that person is an Einstein and he can be the next Einstein.
To Chu Lixue, Yi Long, Spirit Consort Miao Humei and Xiao Muhan, they were suddenly startled to see that the Hundred Blazing Rose seemed to have completely disappeared in Ji Yuan’s fingers as it entered into his soul sea.
Chu Lixue asked curiously, “What have just happened?”
The others were also looking curiously at Ji Yuan too.
Ji Yuan looked at his senior sister and then to the others, “If I tell you that this Hundred Blazing Rose takes a liking to me and is now growing in my spiritual sea, will you believe me? Because I don’t believe it myself. Haha…”
Everyone was staring at Ji Yuan with disbelief for they had never heard of anything like this before.
