Chapter 157: The Small Demon’s Resentment
After putting away his Black Tortoise Shield, Shen Tian abruptly jumped into the spirit spring. He suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the Divine Devouring Vine’s root before it could completely disappear into the soil. Afterward, Shen Tian used all of his strength to pull the Divine Devouring Vine’s body from the soil bit by bit.
One had to say that the Divine Devouring Vine’s strength was quite powerful, as it was on par with Shen Tian’s strength.
One had to know that Shen Tian cultivated the Tinder Body-Tempering Art, and he had just evolved to cultivate the Little Five Elements Yang Divine Lightning Art, so his power could be said to be invincible amongst those of the same stage.
If purely comparing strength, even a normal Golden Core cultivator might not be able to beat Shen Tian.
However, currently, Shen Tian had already exerted his full strength, but he was unable to pull out the one-meter-long vine. Evidently, this miniature Divine Devouring Vine was extraordinary and definitely a peerless divine plant!
Shen Tian was extremely excited as he held on to the small vine tightly. This was a Divine Devouring Vine, a supreme treasure even more precious than the Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash Seed. If he could capture it and bring it back to the sacred ground, then wouldn’t it be a huge profit? If not, he could at least sell it for money. There’s no loss for him!
As for him rearing it himself, to be honest, Shen Tian did not have such thoughts as this Divine Devouring Vine was related to Lu Ji. What if this small vine was Lu Ji’s nirvana body? After he reared it and it grew bigger, what if it sucked him dry?
Shen Tian knew the limit of his providence halo. Although the dark green halo was quite good, it was still far from being the “Son of Providence”. He dared not hope for anything like the “peerless vine” would fall in love with him after being reared by him for a period of them and become wholeheartedly committed to him. He would be using his life as a bet!
Shen Tian had already thought it through—the moment he pulled this small demon out, he would seal it immediately and sell it to the sacred ground. No matter how strong the Mother Vine was, could she be compared to the Sacred Leader?
By then, if she fell in his Master’s hands, he would have ways to control her!
…
The Divine Devouring Vine’s tender body kept on struggling.
Silver liquid splashed onto Shen Tian’s whole body, and dense Spirit Qi started spreading.
Shen Tian did not plan to continue the stalemate. The Mixed Divine Lightning mark between his brows started flashing. His hair, which was originally dark as ink, gradually turned golden, then his hair started standing while his aura increased rapidly.
Shen Tian let out a long roar. His whole body was shining in golden light, and the strength of his hands increased greatly as he pulled out the Divine Devouring Vine.
One inch, two inches, three inches…
The Divine Devouring Vine was trying its best to struggle, but facing Shen Tian, who was in Super Saiyan mode, it was unable to resist at all.
It almost fell in despair upon seeing that most of its body had already been pulled out of the soil.
Ka~!
A crisp breaking sound echoed before Shen Tian’s hands felt no more resistance. He nearly fell as he took a few steps back, his hands still holding 2/3 of the Divine Devouring Vine.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the other 1/3 of the Divine Devouring Vine, which was only 25 centimeters long, quickly crawled into the soil.
That’s right—it escaped like how a lizard would sever its limbs!
Shen Tian dashed as he wanted to pull it again, but this time, it seemed like the Divine Devouring Vine exhausted all its strength for the whole vine to enter the ground.
Lu Ji had most likely never thought that the chance of rebirth, which she had spent all of her essences to exchange, would turn this unfavorable.
Her original plan was to suck dry the Nirvana Holy Liquid in a few days. Yet, before she was able to absorb much of the liquid, she was even forced to sever her body.
One had to say that there was really karma in the cultivation world—one should never clamor against the heavens.
Take Lu Ji as an example. She had been clamoring that she would return after undergoing nirvana, and by then, who could stop her?
In the end, Shen Tian had appeared. Not only did he occupy her property, but he even wanted to snatch her body.
She was too miserable!
…
Shen Tian went silent upon seeing the small hole the miniature Divine Devouring Vine left after escaping.
Honestly speaking, he was reflecting that the combo he had used just now had not been smooth enough. If not, he should have been able to pull out even the remaining half of the Divine Devouring Vine, not letting it escape.
Now that the remaining half of the Divine Devouring Vine had escaped, who knew what trouble it might cause afterward. It was quite troublesome.
Fortunately, I’m still wearing my Phoenix Feather Mask. Not only is my face covered, but even my aura is completely concealed. In addition, I’m still… wearing Spirit Venerable Divine Water’s battle armor. It would be impossible for Divine Devouring Vine to think that I am a man, right!?
At that thought, Shen Tian heaved a sigh of relief.
He looked at the other half of the Divine Devouring Vine on his hands.
Still, not bad.
The whole Divine Devouring Vine was one meter long, and the part he was holding was 75 centimeters long.
The torn apart was slowly oozing out milky white liquid. It was crystal clear as it shone brightly.
Suddenly, the Tinder Sutra energy within Shen Tian unleashed a powerful desire. Shen Tian instantly felt resigned as he realized he also wanted to eat a vine.
This thing looks quite delicious.
Nevertheless, it was still the same sentence. Shen Tian was not a weak person that would be dominated by low-level desires. He was very clear what the most important thing he had to do now was. Thus, he took bottles out of his Archeon Sea Ring.
Those bottles were all made of spirit jade and used to contain spirit pills, thus being able to preserve their medicinal properties to the largest extent.
Although Shen Tian did not know what use this Nirvana Spirit Spring had, it was definitely a treasure. Naturally, it should be collected to its last drop and stored properly.
A pond of Nirvana Spirit Spring that was more than 20 cubic meters, what unimaginable amount of spirit spring water was there? Just the mere notion of that would leave people slack-jawed.
Even if those bottles were carved with a simple space array formation, which increased their storage space by a few times, Shen Tian would have to use a few hundred bottles to be able to barely store such a huge spirit spring.
…
After collecting all the water, Shen Tian glanced at the soil, which was soaked by the spirit spring. He felt that it was a treasure too.
Since the spirit spring was made by a mixture of the Divine Devouring Vine’s decomposed body, it was definitely the most nutritious fertile soil in the whole world!
If he brought this soil back to the Saint Mountain to plant stuff, such as flowers, herbs, ginseng, or ganoderma, wouldn’t the effects be astonishing? Therefore, Shen Tian took out shovels from his Archeon Sea Ring and started digging the soil crazily!
In the end, the height of the soil underneath the pond had decreased by one meter. Only then did Shen Tian finally stop because there was not a drop of water anymore.
At that moment, the Hariti Rosary Beads started vibrating gently. “Master, there’s resentment nearby.”
‘Resentment?’
Shen Tian was stunned at first, but ecstasy soon took over. His IQ and EQ were both very high, so who else would feel resentful in this place? Of course, it would be the remaining 1/3 of that small Divine Devouring Vine!
So, small demon, you haven’t left. If that’s the case, then don’t blame me for doing what I must.
He used his divine consciousness gently to say, “Jiu’er, calm down and don’t be agitated. There is a wild Divine Devouring Vine here. Tell me secretly where the resentment is coming from. I want to get closer to it quietly, then suddenly capture it. Only then would it be completely unable to escape!”
Jiu’er replied, “Okay, I can sense it. That vine is behind that stone, south-east of Master’s direction!”
Shen Tian took a deep breath and did not turn to look in that direction. Instead, he calmly released his divine consciousness.
Indeed, there was a severed emerald vine behind that stone—it stuck out its head to look at Shen Tian.
Suddenly, it was as if it had sensed something and hurriedly crawled toward the bottom of the ground. It was staying as low as possible!
You still want to escape? Be obedient, and let me capture you!
Shen Tian suddenly activated his Sword Master Token, Lotus Shooting Gun, and the nine Yin Yang Demon-Penetrating Gun.
The extremely densely concentrated attacks were released toward that direction.
In but an instant, a vast expanse was bombarded!
