516 Obtaining the Golden Essence Rice Seeds
Void Divine Mirror!
“Whoosh!”
As those Hellfire Butterflies approached, Li Xiang calmly let out a soft cry, and an illusory light shadow appeared in front of Li Xiang.
Li Xiang didn’t use the Void Divine Mirror’s physical body. Using its projection was enough.
As the mirror’s projection fell, the Hellfire Butterflies flew into the mirror’s projection like moths to a flame. They disappeared instantly and were sent into the Void Divine Mirror’s space.
The space created by the Void Divine Mirror was the most unique. It could be divided into countless independent sub-spaces, which could be used to store things and imprison people.
However, the power of imprisonment was not very strong. But if it was made into a maze, it was enough to make people lose their way.
In the face of the Void Divine Mirror, the Hellfire Butterflies’ Hellfire was utterly useless. One by one, they were thrown into the independent space created by the mirror and imprisoned inside.
As expected, those Hellfire Butterflies were imprisoned by the Void Divine Mirror. Then, Li Xiang stepped forward, calmly dug out the Rejuvenation Tree, and transplanted it into the world created by the Seven-colored Gourd Vine.
That was the place where Li Xiang planted many spiritual roots and precious herbs in the Tower of Stars. In the outside world, many precious spiritual roots and herbs were planted in the World Tree’s independent space.
Some spiritual plants and roots in the two places were the same, except for some.
After re-planting the Rejuvenation Tree, he transferred the imprisoned Hellfire Butterflies to that place and let them land on the tree again as guardians.
However, by then, the ripe fruits on the tree had all been taken by him.
Not long after the Hellfire Butterflies returned, they again fell into silence.
…
In the dark world, within a basin, a golden light that was full of vitality lit up and enveloped the entire basin in golden light.
Even in such a dark world, countless Straw men who looked like normal humans still patrolled back and forth.
The turmoil during the day seemed to have completely quieted down. The damaged rice fields had been repaired, and new seeds were planted.
The entire land seemed to be emitting traces of golden light.
Even though the entire world was dark, the basin was still as bright as day.
The Straw men did not lower their guard because of the darkness outside but continued to patrol nervously.
Team after team, they could be seen everywhere. Not even a mosquito could get in.
Outside the valley, a pair of eyes were secretly peeking into the valley.
Upon closer look, that person was Li Xiang.
After collecting the Rejuvenation Tree, he didn’t return to the Kingdom of Dawn immediately. Instead, he came to the basin’s outer area and waited for an opportunity to enter the valley to see if he had any chance.
“These Straw men are really patrolling day and night. They don’t slack off at all and don’t know what fatigue is!”
Li Xiang muttered to himself, but he didn’t take action.
He actually had respect for those Straw men because they had faith in their hearts and something they wanted to protect.
Thinking back to the day when he heard those Straw men shouting to chase away the grain thieves, he felt a chill.
They had faith and something they wanted to protect, but they would not kill the innocent or bully the weak. Such a race was worthy of anyone’s respect.
If not for that, he would not have retreated so easily during the day. His methods weren’t as simple as just archery.
He was not completely helpless against the golden Straw men either. A single Nebula Chain was enough to render the golden Straw men completely helpless.
His Nebula Chain was a supreme treasure at Rank 8 of the divine realm, with two special characteristics and four great skills. Although the golden Straw men were powerful and had even comprehended magical powers, activating the top rank Law Power, The Path of Law Realization, they still couldn’t deal with the shackles of a supreme treasure at Rank 8 of the divine realm.
Besides, even if he didn’t use the Nebula Chain, he still had other treasures, Divine Power, and Laws. He even had heroes and thousands of soldiers from the Kingdom of Dawn.
No matter his method, he could kill all the Straw men in that small basin.
Even if he were to take action personally, he was confident that he would be able to defeat the Straw men with his strength without the help of any treasures.
However, he hesitated when he saw them risking their lives to protect the rice fields.
Such Straw men weren’t enemies. They weren’t even considered opponents. There was no need to fight to the death.
That was not in line with his style and principles.
Therefore, he chose to retreat in the end.
However, he didn’t really plan on leaving. The Golden Essence Rice was too precious. Divine grade rice was too rare. Its value and significance were extraordinary and important to the Kingdom of Dawn.
He didn’t come here to continue fighting those Straw men but to obtain some Golden Essence Rice seeds.
The Golden Essence Rice was rare, but it wasn’t impossible. As long as he could get some seeds and plant them in the space where the World Tree was, they would definitely take root and germinate. They could even improve and optimize because of the World Tree.
By then, the new Golden Essence Rice would have better effects and be more useful to the Kingdom of Dawn.
“Take the seeds and leave. As long as those Straw men don’t leave the valley and don’t attack humans, it is alright to keep them alive!”
Li Xiang made a decision silently.
With a thought, he instantly communicated with the Power of Light Law in the Starlight Shrine. His entire figure began to turn illusionary and finally disappeared altogether.
That was an ability that he had mastered after comprehending the Light Law, the Invisibility spell.
However, the Invisibility spell didn’t just contain the Light Law. It also had the Dark Law. Not only could it conceal one’s body, but it could also conceal one’s aura.
A common Invisibility spell might be detectable, but with his upgraded version of the Invisibility spell, even those who were a realm higher than him would not be able to detect him easily.
Those Straw men were no problem at all. He was confident in that.
After he became invisible, he moved and used the Stars After The Moon technique to head forward.
When he entered the valley, even though the Straw men were very close to him, they turned a blind eye to him as if they could only see the void and felt nothing.
“The effect is not bad! It’s a pity that only I can use this Invisibility spell. Otherwise, it would be even better if I could use it to research a similar talisman treasure. Unfortunately, even I’m not very clear about it, so I can only put this idea aside for the time being.”
His goal was clear, and he directly approached the rice field.
As he got closer, a strange fragrance came from the field.
In fact, the spiritual rice had already ripened, but the Straw men had not harvested them yet for some reason.
