Chapter 447: A Strange Herb Grows!

Inside the valley, sand and stones flew, chaotic rocks pierced the clouds, terrifying waves split the sky, shattering the firmament and leaving behind pitch-black abysses.

Nine pillars of energy that reached the heavens stirred and shook heaven and earth, and the faint gray mist seeping from within seemed to tear apart eternity, wild and unruly.

Yun'er, with a stunning demeanor, floated within the nine energy pillars like a celestial maiden from the nine heavens. Her soft hair danced lightly, her green dress fluttered gracefully, and her temperament underwent earth-shattering changes. She was like a divine lotus emerging from water, truly as pure and ethereal as a fairy.

This beauty and elegance made Yang Tian pause slightly. He thought to himself, "If this little girl grows up, she might become a rival to Yuan Xia."

Rumbling! Heaven and earth trembled without pause. The ancient and terrifying aura continuously emitted energy of the utmost purity, aiding Yun'er in her breakthrough.

"How much energy is sealed inside here? It seems Yun'er's master must be a supreme powerhouse!" Yang Tian couldn't help but say. Having absorbed so much energy, he could sense that the fluctuations within had not diminished in the slightest.

"This little girl should be at the fifth or sixth level of the War King realm. With this opportunity, she should be able to break through to the peak of the War King realm!" Yang Tian thought with some delight.

With his current cultivation, Yang Tian didn't know what stage he had reached. But he knew that breaking through would be extremely difficult.

First,

His cultivation had surged too violently in the past six months, and a qualitative change had occurred in the golden lake. If he wanted to break through, it wouldn't be a short-term matter.

Second,

Although the Dao Scripture had partially fused with the War Heaven Art, Yang Tian had no subsequent cultivation method. If he reached the peak of the War King realm, he would have no way to break into the War Emperor realm.

If he forcibly broke through, it might cause the cultivation method to collapse, leading to a terrible backlash, possibly even destroying the golden lake. Yang Tian naturally dared not take that risk.

"Alas, I wonder if the spiritual flower Uncle Xiao mentioned really exists. Unfortunately, Uncle Xiao isn't here now..." Yang Tian mused, missing Yang Xiao and wondering how he was doing.

"Chirp chirp!" Sensing Yang Tian's change, Xiao Qing chirped and rubbed its golden wings against him.

Seeing this, Yang Tian couldn't help but smile. He gently stroked Xiao Qing's feathers with his fingers, but also worried about Xiao Bai. That glutton might get into trouble if it sneaked into some spiritual mountain to steal medicinal herbs and got caught.

"I'm overthinking. Xiao Bai's strength is now not much weaker than mine, and he can ignore formations. He should be fine." Yang Tian clicked his tongue and turned his gaze forward.

The ten directions trembled violently, the sky shook. Yun'er's absorption was too powerful; the divine nature emanating from her body grew increasingly astonishing. Yang Tian had to step back repeatedly.

"A divine body is truly a divine body. Just this bloodline pressure alone probably few can withstand." Yang Tian pursed his lips. His own bloodline was extremely powerful, so he wasn't affected by the pressure, but others might not be so lucky.

This absorption of energy lasted for two full days. Inside Yun'er's body, the root was shrouded in gray mist, indistinct, but the energy it contained made one's heart tremble, too daunting to look at directly.

All the energy in her qi sea had transformed into gray energy, each strand imbued with powerful divinity. This energy was not only terrifying but could also suppress lower-quality heavenly energy.

Such was a divine body—like a favored child of heaven, a descendant of the gods, supremely noble.

With a hum, heaven and earth shook. The nine energy pillars that pierced the heavens suddenly trembled, as if a giant hand swept across the sky and struck the earth below.

Boom! The entire valley quaked as if a major earthquake had struck. At the point where the energy struck, a terrifying crack split open. The surrounding lakes collapsed, and streams of water poured into the fissures.

Yang Tian watched, inwardly alarmed. That opening was like an abyss, and this was only the first strike. Yun'er could mobilize all nine terrifying energy pillars.

Rumbling! Heaven and earth trembled as the nine terrifying energies danced. With just a thought, Yun'er could unleash them instantly—a formidable technique.

"The Nine Yin Nether Herb is truly no ordinary thing." Yang Tian was deeply astonished. In just two days, Yun'er's strength had undergone earth-shattering changes, enough to make those of the same rank tremble.

After practicing for a while, Yun'er slowly descended. She too was shocked. A great change had occurred in her qi sea: the root of the Nine Yin Nether Herb had taken root there, merging with her body.

Like a heavenly treasure, it could absorb the essence of the eight directions and purify energy. Yun'er also vaguely sensed that this root might become a remarkable treasure!

"Brother Yang, how is it?" She moved lightly, her aura transcendent, like a goddess stepping out of heaven, stirring passion in others.

Yang Tian couldn't help but take a few more glances. Grinning, he said, "Very strong. That Nine Yin Nether Herb is indeed a heavenly wonder. I didn't expect it to have such a terrifying effect."

"Brother Yang, the energy of that spiritual herb hasn't been fully refined—only about a fifth. How old is this precious medicine?" Yun'er asked curiously.

"Oh, it's a ninety-thousand-year-old spiritual herb, comparable to a divine medicine. Its potency is astonishing!" Yang Tian licked his lips and chuckled.

"Ninety thousand years!" Yun'er was stunned, her eyes wide with surprise. Ninety thousand years was an incredibly long time; this was indeed a terrifying precious medicine.

"This kind of spiritual herb is born for the Nine Yin Divine Body, but I didn't expect its potency to be so immense!" Yang Tian clicked his tongue in amazement and smiled slightly.

"By the way, that root has taken root in my body." Yun'er widened her eyes and asked curiously, "It seems it can be used as a tool and is very helpful for cultivation."

"Taken root?" Yang Tian was repeatedly astonished. When his gaze fell on the root floating above Yun'er's head, it was surrounded by gray mist, like chaotic light, appearing extremely extraordinary.

Yun'er nodded. The root floating above her head moved, trembling slightly. A surge of immense power stirred, causing the valley to shake.

Patterns emerged on this root, dark black in color. Its branches were bare, shedding gray mist. When its illusory branches swayed, wisps of mist fell, even splitting the sky.

This was a strange treasure. Leaves seemed about to grow on its branches, and the energy within was unfathomable, yet it gave a heart-pounding sensation.

"Truly remarkable. I didn't expect the root to form a treasure with limitless potential!" Yang Tian was dumbfounded, inwardly amazed. This treasure could regenerate, making it extremely extraordinary.

Yun'er played with it for a while, then reluctantly stored it back in her qi sea, using the energy there to nurture the bare root, hoping it would grow again.

"Time to leave!" At this moment, Yang Tian's pupils slightly contracted. He forcibly suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.
