Chapter 1010: Chapter 1010 - 447: Green Demon Arc - Gathering_3
"Lord Tang!"
Beside him was a young girl named Lu Lu from the Absolute Sect, and her eyes immediately filled with tears.
Elder Tang simply smiled and comforted her, saying: "No more talking about it, let’s continue our journey. We’ll discuss further once we reach the mountain; Jiujie Mountain is so tall, and the scenery atop must certainly be quite beautiful. Lu Lu should see more of it; this world is not just about fighting and killing, but also the myriad beauties of all things."
"...Yes."
The team set off once again.
Ling Huxiang, though anxious, wished to return immediately to Tianyuan Town to search for Diao Deyi and see if that fellow had safely returned to Tianyuan Town.
But for the current safety, she depended entirely on the people from the Absolute Sect. As someone hitching a ride on their wagon, she had no grounds to voice her opinion.
It meant she and Dong Xingzhou were lucky to have encountered the Absolute Sect team; otherwise, they would still be unsure if they could safely return to Tianyuan Town.
"Lord Tang, Jiujie Mountain, as someone native to Tianyuan Town, I am slightly familiar with it. Let me lead the way for you."
Ling Huxiang volunteered eagerly, and naturally, no one in the team objected.
Dong Xingzhou followed closely behind Ling Huxiang, moving together.
Lamentably, this Absolute Sect team, regardless of whom was picked out, wielded greater strength than him, even greater than Ling Huxiang.
Such was the strength of the team, even traversing mountain paths and wild trails was no problem. It’s perplexing why they chose the relatively slower official road.
The old man’s intentions seemed to reflect nostalgic memories, as if there was a desire to enjoy the flowers and scenery along the way?
Those with great strength truly disregard logic.
For them, the trembling wilderness might just be a leisurely walk through their backyard for the old man.
Along the way, any demon sensing the old man’s presence might have fled far away.
And those who were unaware of their impending doom didn’t even require the old man’s intervention; the other members of the Absolute Sect would swiftly eradicate them.
So powerful... too powerful!
Apart from the Five Great Families, Dong Xingzhou couldn’t think of any force in Tianyuan Town that could compete with this team.
Even if all five Hall Masters of Tianyuan Town gathered, activating the Foolish Underworld Grand Formation, Dong Xingzhou doubted they could match the old man.
No matter what, with the protection of Absolute Sect experts, his return path should be secured.
Feeling relaxed, Dong Xingzhou sensed a noticeable alleviation in his stress.
Yet little did he know, when they climb to the top of Jiujie Mountain, if they looked ahead, they would see, that the point representing Tianyuan Town was being shrouded by something.
...
Tianyuan Town, Hidden Land.
The ’sleeping’ Fang Yu, akin to a soul returning, slowly opened his eyes.
To break through to the Wood Realm, he was still short of a Wood Realm cultivation technique.
And for this final technique, Fang Yu was still undecided.
He looked at the attribute panel.
Currently, the closest to a Wood Realm technique was the high-level Grass Realm technique [Ice Blood Storm].
The issue is that this requires some blood manipulation method to effectively utilize it.
If he could somehow sneak a peek at the Lin Family’s Acid Blood Technique a few times, he might gain some insight.
However, at present, even if this technique was improved to the Wood Realm, its role would merely be supplementary, offering little enhancement to combat power.
Further down, enhancing Qi Sensation and Qi Force was [Spring Bud Skill], which might conflict with the Qi Gathering Technique, and [Rooting into the Soil] for defense, and the Blade Technique [Wood Zither Blade Technique] and others.
Since these range from high-level Flower Realm to initial-stage Grass Realm, elevating them would demand considerable investment.
Though not as drastic as an ultimate sacrifice, pouring these attribute points here might not stir much impact, at most establishing a direction.
The likes of [Moistening Eyes], [Big Kung’s Belly], [Two-Heart Lock] at the lower tier need no mention.
Urgent gains would mean promoting [Ice Blood Storm], otherwise choosing one from the remaining low-level techniques for elevation.
Thinking for a moment, Fang Yu made his decision.
Add points, begin!
