Chapter 433 Plant Cultivation

"I saw blood on her, and also a variable."

Mu Shuyang suddenly lost control of his mind and blurted out.

Leng Xingzhi snorted lightly. Snow Spirit Beasts, when cultivated to a certain level, can break through heavenly secrets.

"You, just you, still want to change the variable?" Leng Xingzhi smiled. The spiritual energy suddenly vanished, and Mu Shuyang fell to the ground like a tattered piece of cloth. His eyes became sharp, and a talisman appeared in his eyes, "Mu Shuyang, from now on, your cultivation can no longer advance a single step, and you are forever barred from the great path of spiritual cultivation."

Mu Shuyang let out a muffled groan, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his vision went black.

"Mu Shuyang, wake up..." After an unknown amount of time, Mu Shuyang heard Mei Ji's voice by his ear. He slowly opened his eyes. He was still in his cave dwelling, leaning against Mei Ji.

"Mu Shuyang, you're finally awake." Seeing Mu Shuyang open his eyes, Mei Ji immediately took out pills from her storage bag and stuffed them into his mouth, "Mu Shuyang, quickly take the pills."

"These pills are useless to me." Mu Shuyang dodged the pills Mei Ji was feeding him, sat up, and saw no sign of Leng Xingzhi. "Did he hurt you?"

Mei Ji was puzzled when she heard this, "Who would hurt me?"

Mu Shuyang's eyes moved, "How did we get back?"

"Of course, my spirit beast brought me back." Mei Ji had a seventh-tier Snow Spirit Beast, which carried them back to Mu Shuyang's cave dwelling. Otherwise, with her cultivation alone, she would never have been able to reach here.

"Thank you." Mu Shuyang lowered his eyelids. Leng Xingzhi had erased Mei Ji's memory.

"Mu Shuyang, who injured you like this?" Mei Ji asked cautiously. She really couldn't imagine who would have the ability to injure him so badly.

"Chu Lingwei."

Saying Chu Lingwei's name again, Mu Shuyang felt regret. A variable! Why did he have to contend with heaven?

"How is that possible?"

Mei Ji cried out in disbelief. Chu Lingwei was just a cultivator in the Hua Tian realm. No matter how powerful she was, she couldn't possibly injure Mu Shuyang, who was already in the Master realm.

"Chu Lingwei's strength is very strong." Mu Shuyang closed his eyes and began to regulate his breathing.

Mei Ji stood by, watching Mu Shuyang meditate. Chu Lingwei's figure flashed through her mind. She hid the complexity in her eyes. Others might not be able to, but Chu Lingwei truly had this possibility.

Jing Liang Forest.

Chu Lingwei, accompanied by Feng Ming and Huan Mao, continued towards their destination, the standing lake, while also observing the great Master realm powerhouse hiding there.

After confirming that his injuries were completely healed, Senior Brother left under the pretense of visiting an old friend, leaving her alone in Jing Liang Forest.

Chu Lingwei couldn't help but confirm that the greatest threat to her in Jing Liang Forest should be Mu Shuyang, otherwise, Senior Brother wouldn't have left so readily.

"Weiwei, we seem to be trapped in a maze."

Even though they were flying on their swords, they still couldn't escape this dense forest, constantly circling around it.

"Let's go down and see." If the sky didn't work, they had to go on the ground.

Before Chu Lingwei could land her spiritual sword, a powerful spiritual energy attacked her. Chu Lingwei dodged quickly and turned around, only to see a large tree blocking her path.

Plant cultivator.

Even in the world of spiritual cultivation, plants that developed sentience were very rare.

Chu Lingwei looked at the plant cultivator before her. It was at least seventh-tier. Such a plant cultivator already had sentience and considerable intelligence.

"Why are you blocking my path? Move aside." Chu Lingwei commanded. She didn't want to fight, but if the other party refused to yield, Chu Lingwei would show no mercy.

The plant cultivator in front of her trembled slightly, and the leaves on its body rustled.

It knew fear.

"Hurry up and get out of the way, don't block my path, or don't blame me for being rude." Chu Lingwei's voice carried a sense of pressure. Although her strength was comparable to this seventh-tier plant cultivator.

The plant cultivator before her, after she spoke, actually shook its head in a human-like manner.

Chu Lingwei: "..."

"Weiwei, how about I just burn it?" Feng Ming jumped in front of the plant cultivator and arrogantly raised her small head. "Let me tell you, little tree, if I just spray a ball of fire, you'll turn to ash."

"Weiwei, it seems to want to tell us something, but it can't speak." Huan Mao said helplessly upon hearing Feng Ming's words and transmitted her thoughts to Chu Lingwei.

"Do you have a way to communicate with it?" No matter why it blocked them, they couldn't be obstructed forever.

The standing lake was just ahead, and Chu Lingwei and the others had to hurry.

"I'll try."

Just as Feng Ming was about to spew fire, Huan Mao jumped onto her shoulder, quickly recited a spell, and a barrier enveloped the large tree.

The large tree was initially very resistant, but finally, realizing it was not in danger, it stopped struggling.

"Weiwei, it says there's danger ahead and anyone who goes in will not survive." Huan Mao returned and conveyed the information from the plant cultivator to Chu Lingwei.

Feng Ming heard this and returned to Chu Lingwei's side, "Weiwei, that's impossible. Behind it is that standing lake."

The plant cultivator understood Feng Ming's words and nodded vigorously.

"You mean, there's something wrong with that lake?" Chu Lingwei understood what the plant cultivator was trying to convey.

The plant cultivator nodded again.

"So many cultivators and demon cultivators have gone there, how can there be danger?" Feng Ming's eyes widened, somewhat disbelieving.

This lake in the center of Jing Liang Forest was rich in spiritual energy. Many spirit beasts and demon cultivators had improved their cultivation from it. How could there be danger?

Seeing Feng Ming's question, the plant cultivator began to sway violently. The leaves collided, making a louder noise than before.

It was arguing, as if refuting Feng Ming's words.

"Thank you for letting me know."

Chu Lingwei stepped forward and thanked the plant cultivator. It was much harder for plant cultivators to achieve sentience than for humans. Only one out of tens of thousands of spiritual plants could produce it. Once they developed sentience, they would find a secluded and safe place to cultivate, and generally would not be discovered by others.

Seeing that Chu Lingwei seemed to believe her words, the plant cultivator retracted its body and slowly retreated.

Soon, the area returned to its former calm, and the plant cultivator was no longer visible.

"Weiwei, do you believe what it said?" Feng Ming used her spiritual sense to search for the plant cultivator, but it seemed to have vanished into thin air, making it impossible to track.

"Whether it's true or false, we should be careful. There must be something wrong with that place." Chu Lingwei stepped onto her spiritual sword again. This time, instead of circling the area as before, they quickly entered the depths of Jing Liang Forest.

The earlier obstruction was likely intentional by that plant cultivator.

Chu Lingwei had not flown for long when she heard cries for help from below.
