Xiao Longnu was truly remarkable. Although the main root system of the Purple Jade Spirit Bamboo had not yet developed sentience, she appeared to be able to communicate with it.
As Xiao Longnu spoke gently, the Purple Jade Spirit Bamboo's main root system listened attentively, occasionally swaying as if in agreement. It seemed Xiao Longnu's "virtuous wife and loving mother" persona had deeply impressed the Purple Jade Spirit Bamboo.
However, the most surprising to Hao Ren was the Wutong Divine Tree sapling. This spiritual plant was extraordinary, having surpassed the Innate level to become a legendary Primordial Spiritual Plant. Even in the Immortal Realm, Primordial Spiritual Plants were earth-shattering treasures, enough to incite endless competition among Great Emperors.
Yet, since it had sprouted, the Wutong Divine Tree sapling only consumed and did not grow. Most of the miraculous green liquid dilution was poured onto it daily. Any other spiritual plant would have flourished by now. The Wutong Divine Tree sapling, however, remained unchanged, a tiny sprout with no signs of growth.
Still, a Primordial Spiritual Plant was a Primordial Spiritual Plant, not to be trifled with! This small sprout seemed to harbor a "brand new small world," exuding an incredibly dense primordial aura, mysterious and unfathomable! Hao Ren had always considered the Wutong Divine Tree sapling his ultimate trump card. But its level was too high, too mysterious, and no matter how he tried, Hao Ren could not communicate with it.
Goddess Su had communicated with the Wutong Divine Tree sapling twice, as it was her companion spiritual treasure, and she shared a destined bond with the Wutong Divine Tree. Apart from Goddess Su, no one else could communicate with the Wutong Divine Tree sapling. At least, that was what Hao Ren had always believed until today.
But today, his eyes were opened! Xiao Longnu convened a meeting, and the Wutong Divine Tree sapling quivered slightly. The "small world" nurtured at its core erupted, its primordial aura enveloping everything, and it proactively communicated with Xiao Longnu. Hao Ren was almost moved to tears by envy!
Consciousness communication was faster and more convenient than verbal communication. Soon, Xiao Longnu's face lit up with joy as she smiled at the Wutong Divine Tree sapling. "Little Wutong, thank you. I think I know what to do now!" With that, Xiao Longnu turned and addressed the assembled spiritual plants. "My dears, I need your help. I need each of you to condense your strongest seed for me!"
Each condense a strongest seed? Xiao Longnu, are you serious? These things weren't "people," they were just spiritual plants. How could they have "each person"? And didn't "condensing seeds" require a gradual process of flowering, pollination, and finally fruiting?
Just as Hao Ren was silently grumbling in his heart, the spiritual plants erupted one after another! First were the "Auspicious Three Treasures." On top of the "columnar object" on the Ginseng Baby's head, a drop of bright red liquid emerged. The liquid rapidly solidified, transforming into a hard seed. The "columnar object" on the Shou Wu Baby's head shook violently, spitting out a "white seed"! The Lingzhi Baby was slightly more normal; the center of its "lingzhi cap" bloomed, producing a "brown seed"!
Three seeds, shining with spiritual light and exuding powerful life force, flew to Xiao Longnu's side! Damn! What the hell! Hao Ren was utterly shocked! He could clearly sense the "origin aura" contained within the three seeds. These were not just any seeds; they were "direct lineage seeds" imbued with "origin power," equivalent to the "biological sons" of the "Auspicious Three Treasures"! Uh... Hao Ren felt his eyes burning, and he couldn't bear to look at the "Auspicious Three Treasures" anymore! He had always treated these three as children, and who knew they could also procreate "biological sons"! What happened to their "innocence"!
And at this moment, an even more "eye-burning" scene unfolded. The two pink branches of the Acacia Tree seedling entwined together, their tips meeting perfectly, blooming into a small pink flower. Soon, the small flower closed, condensing into a "pink seed." Damn! What the hell! Hao Ren's heart ached at the sight! Why could the Acacia Tree seedling also produce "seeds"? Who was it? Who was the "father" of the "seed," step forward, and I promise not to beat you to death! Uh... Hao Ren looked closely again at the two entwined pink branches of the Acacia Tree seedling. His mouth twitched. Self-propagation? "Mating" with itself to "produce seeds"? They were that good at playing? Hao Ren felt he would never be able to look at the Acacia Tree seedling directly again. It was no longer pure! This child was truly no longer pure!
Finally, Hao Ren looked at the Wutong Divine Tree sapling with complex eyes. Uh... Well, Little Wutong, please be more reserved. You are a "Primordial Spiritual Plant," don't disgrace your "Primordial level" dignity! Fortunately, the Wutong Divine Tree sapling did not produce seeds in a grotesque manner; in fact, it produced no seeds at all. That made sense; at the Wutong Divine Tree sapling's level, how could it casually produce seeds!
But in the next second, the entire cave shook violently. Rumble! The heavens and earth trembled, and endless spiritual light erupted. What was going on? Hao Ren's heart leaped, and he looked in the direction of the sound. Good heavens! He saw the roots of the six Sage Dragon Tooth Rice trees entwined together, like dragons coiling. Finally, amidst the dazzling spiritual light, a small "green seed" ascended from the intersection of the six Sage Dragon Tooth Rice trees' roots. This was a "super six-in-one seed" that had fused the essence of the six Sage Dragon Tooth Rice trees. Damn! Hao Ren's mouth twitched. Six into one! The plants were quite adept at playing! It was at this moment that Hao Ren snapped back to reality. He had overlooked the six Sage Dragon Tooth Rice trees all along. The roots of the six Sage Dragon Rice trees were all within the cave. Since Xiao Longnu was holding a general assembly, they were naturally included. This way, all the "spiritual plants" were included... Hmm, it seemed something was still missing? Hao Ren frowned, feeling as though he had missed something.
Just then, a greater commotion arose. Rumble! The earth shook and the mountains quaked, as if the heavens and earth were collapsing. The entire "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" began to sway violently. What was going on now? This commotion had alerted all the cultivators within the Purple Jade Bamboo Forest. Could it be that a powerful enemy was approaching? They became vigilant and looked around. They didn't know until they looked, and when they did, they were astonished! They suddenly discovered that all the "Purple Jade Spirit Bamboo" in the entire "Purple Jade Bamboo Forest" were radiating misty spiritual light, which then erupted...
