Chapter 186: Cutting Off the Tail
“Tear”
The Floating Light Sword could pry open space rifts, and seeing the ‘Tear’ character light chain faintly appearing within the Great Sun Divine Flame, Hua Changxi instantly thought of tearing space.
To verify her idea, Hua Changxi increased her Spiritual Power output. The Great Sun Divine Flame in her hand grew several times larger, directly burning towards the space beside her.
Initially, the space showed no reaction. After two quarters of an hour, just as Hua Changxi thought she had guessed wrong, the space surrounded by the ‘Tear’ character light chain slowly began to distort.
Another half an hour passed before the Great Sun Divine Flame, like a thief stealing light through a wall, burned a small hole the size of a fingertip into the space.
“Huh? Do you guys feel the Spiritual Energy in the Artifact Refining Room suddenly getting denser?”
“Look quickly, the Earth Fire has also gotten bigger.”
“What’s going on? Why has the Spiritual Energy been surging suddenly so often lately?”
“The Spiritual Energy surge over half a month ago was because the Fusang Divine Wood appeared. What is it this time?”
“I think it’s mostly still due to the Fusang Divine Wood. Haven’t you heard Martial Uncle say that the Artifact Saint Palace is built next to the Fusang Divine Wood? The Earth Fire vein we use for artifact refining now might be connected to the Fusang Divine Wood.”
“Although the Fusang Divine Wood only appeared for a moment before disappearing, it’s certain that the Divine Wood has revived. Once the Divine Wood revives, it will definitely transport Spiritual Energy to all parts of the Artifact Saint Palace.”
“What you say makes sense.”
“Martial Uncle left in a hurry the day the Fusang Divine Wood appeared. I wonder when he’ll be back?”
“What about Martial Uncle Baili and Senior Brother Xia Yang and Senior Sister Xia Xue? They’ve also been gone for a long time, I wonder where they went?”
“The Imperial Court’s people have surrounded the entire Artifact Refining Workshop. Although we are underground, the Imperial Court possesses Spiritual Artifacts for detection. It’s estimated they’ll find us before long. With Martial Uncle Baili and Martial Uncle not here, what should we do then?”
“Where exactly did Martial Uncle Baili and Martial Uncle go?”
Listening to the conversation coming through the small hole, Hua Changxi was stunned. The small hole burned by the Great Sun Divine Flame actually led directly to the Artifact Saint Palace’s Artifact Refining Room.
‘The Fusang Divine Wood appeared over half a month ago.’
Was that the time when the Great Sun Divine Flame and the Vermilion Bird Spiritual Shadow collided, causing spatial instability?
If so, she had been in a coma at the bottom of the hot spring bath for over half a month.
The conversation on the other side of the small hole continued. Hua Changxi wasn’t concerned with the affairs inside the Artifact Saint Palace; her attention was focused on the Great Sun Divine Flame. Looking at the small hole burned by the Great Sun Divine Flame, her eyes gleamed.
The Great Sun Divine Flame, with the ‘Tear’ character light chain, possessed the ability to burn and tear space!
Although it took a long time to burn, this should be related to her current Strength. As long as her Realm improves, the burning time should shorten.
Hua Changxi was excited. She had absorbed two light chains, but whether it was the red ‘Karma’ character light chain or the white ‘Tear’ character light chain, both represented a type of Fire Law Power.
Fire Law Power
Hua Changxi touched the Fusang Divine Wood Root, her expression excited. She seemed to have discovered the greatest opportunity in the Divine Wood Space.
Cultivating here allowed one to sense and control Law Power!
The Fusang Divine Wood represented the Fire attribute Law. Then what about other Divine Woods? Could one control other attribute Law Powers by cultivating in other Divine Wood Spaces?
Indeed, the World needed constant exploration to make new discoveries, and with new discoveries, one could improve oneself.
Hua Changxi reflected on her previous self-contained cultivation method and decided that she needed to go out and gain more Experience in the future.
Although she had skirted death once on this outing, the gains were substantial.
Two Fire Law Powers were naturally not enough for Hua Changxi. Hua Changxi moved away from the small hole, found a new spot, and sat cross-legged again, immersing herself in cultivation.
This time, many light chains still appeared, but no matter how she absorbed them, she couldn’t draw the light chains into her Body.
Hua Changxi was somewhat unwilling. She pulled at each light chain she sensed, and after confirming she could no longer control any other Law Power, she reluctantly accepted reality.
Feeling unwilling, Hua Changxi couldn’t focus on cultivating. Sensing that the Floating Light Sword had been vibrating since entering the Divine Wood Space, she summoned the sword from her Dantian Qi Sea.
The Floating Light Sword showed no other abnormalities, only vibration.
Looking at the incessantly vibrating Floating Light Sword, which she couldn’t suppress no matter how much Spiritual Power she used, Hua Changxi clearly knew that her control over the Floating Light Sword was still far from sufficient.
Having finally entered the Divine Wood Space, she didn’t know when she would be able to enter again. Hua Changxi didn’t want to go in so soon. Thinking that the Fusang Divine Wood Space was filled with Fire Law Power, which might be useful for practicing the Floating Light Sword, she swung the Floating Light Sword and began practicing the Floating Light Sword Art.
As soon as she swung the Floating Light Sword, she felt that in the Divine Wood Space, her control over the Floating Light Sword was indeed more natural than outside.
Perhaps because she had mastered the Great Sun Divine Flame and two Fire Law Powers, she also discovered that her understanding of the Floating Light Sword Art had become more profound.
Before, when practicing the Floating Light Sword outside, she either felt a sense of resistance as if the sword wasn’t obeying her command, or found the Floating Light Sword Art obscure and difficult to understand, and her swordsmanship never improved. Now, practicing in the Divine Wood Space, it was much smoother and more fluid.
She had almost lost her life for the Floating Light Sword before. Now that she knew practicing swordsmanship in the Divine Wood Space could help improve her sword skills, Hua Changxi naturally wouldn’t miss the opportunity.
Time slipped away as she practiced swordsmanship. When she got tired from practicing, Hua Changxi would sit on the Divine Wood Root, eat some Spiritual Fruit, and then meditate and cultivate. After cultivating for a while, she would start practicing swordsmanship again.
Hua Changxi’s swordsmanship was constantly improving. Although the Floating Light Sword still couldn’t be drawn out, her control over it became more and more natural. While it wasn’t yet at the level of being an extension of her arm, the Floating Light Sword could be held steadily by her and no longer vibrated erratically.
After a period of cultivation, as Hua Changxi was mindlessly slashing at a section of the Divine Wood Root with the Floating Light Sword, her mind suddenly buzzed. The next moment, her entire head felt like it was going to explode.
Before she could figure out what was happening, her mind buzzed again.
This time, the pain was so intense that Hua Changxi collapsed onto the tree root.
Fortunately, the buzzing in her mind stopped, giving Hua Changxi a moment to catch her breath. As her mind cleared, her expression changed.
“Not good, someone is tampering with the Shen Nong Cauldron.”
Sensing that the Shen Nong Cauldron had suffered a heavy blow, Hua Changxi ignored the nearly severed Divine Wood Root and immediately followed the sensation, flying towards the Space Rift connecting to the Tangyu Valley Bottom.
On the way back, her head ached violently again, forcing her to speed up. In doing so, she sustained injuries to her Body from several Space Rifts.
Soon, she reached the Space Rift connecting to the Tangyu Valley Bottom. Fearing that the Shen Nong Cauldron would be stolen, Hua Changxi endured the tearing force around the rift and rushed in directly.
As her Body entered the Space Rift, she saw a massive white tail fiercely lashing out towards the Shen Nong Cauldron.
Without a second thought, Hua Changxi directly swung the Floating Light Sword towards the white tail.
Although the Floating Light Sword couldn’t be drawn out, the practice during this period had allowed Hua Changxi to generate Sword Qi. The Sword Qi, carrying the Great Sun Divine Flame, directly struck the giant white tail.
The Sword Light pierced the white tail, directly severing it.
“Ah~”
At the same time, a piercing scream echoed through the Tang Valley, and then, a giant White Fox figure appeared above the Tang Valley volcano crater.
Behind the White Fox, eight massive tails swayed continuously.
