Chapter 52: The System And Cave Heaven Tree Secretly Flirting Behind Ge Bai’s Back
Professor Luo Wan was anxious in his heart, but this was in the Secret Realm Space, and since the Sovereign Spirit Plant had spoken, he had no choice but to pace back and forth in place.
Ge Bai was even more terrified. Wasn’t it said that this Secret Realm Space was very mature, and the Sovereign Spirit Plant was very friendly to Spirit Planters? What was this situation?
Ge Bai, who was pulled into the Spatial Rift, felt intense dizziness.
When she opened her eyes again, she was already in a mountain range. Looking around, she was surrounded by cliffs and steep walls, and she was in a valley.
Where was this? Was it also the Secret Realm Space?
Ge Bai steadied herself, then stood up. With a move of her Spiritual Sense, she activated her Spirit Plant Communicator Talent.
The surrounding vegetation was not very dense. After quietly waiting for a while, the Spirit Plants remained quiet.
Things were quiet on Ge Bai’s side, but some places were already full of tension.
——
“Don’t pretend to be dead for me, Shen Nong. I smelled your scent from far away. You can’t hide.”
From the moment Ge Bai was dragged into this space, the Shen Nong 2.7 System knew something was wrong—it had been discovered.
The worst part was that the one pinning it down wasn’t the Dragon Roaming Jade Calyx Plum, but this brainless, hot-tempered lady.
This space was similar to the Plum Garden; it was also a Secret Realm Space ruled by Spirit Plants, dominated by a Cave Heaven Tree.
The System really wanted to keep pretending to be dead. After all, it was hiding in Ge Bai’s Spiritual Sense Sea, and even a Sovereign-level Spirit Plant couldn’t do much to it.
Just as it hesitated, the Cave Heaven Tree’s voice came again.
Seeing no response from the System, this time, the originally domineering voice softened a bit, carrying a trace of helplessness.
“I know you can hear me too. We’ve waited too long. I won’t ask much; I just want to know, is there still hope?”
Hearing this, the System couldn’t ignore it. After thinking for a moment, it had to speak.
“Yes, the Sovereign’s backup plans haven’t been used up yet. We haven’t reached the point of desperation.”
The System’s steady voice reached the Cave Heaven Tree’s ears.
The Cave Heaven Tree was delighted. “Is it this little girl? What can we do? I can suppress my Level to contract with her.”
“No, Cave Heaven. If the Strange Plants core area finds out that the Sovereign’s chosen one has appeared again, all that awaits her is mad revenge and destruction.”
“Sigh.” The Cave Heaven Tree sighed. “Then we…”
“Wait, wait for her to grow. We’ve waited so many years; a few more won’t matter.”
The Cave Heaven Tree knew the System was right, but it still felt unwilling.
“The Sovereign’s chosen one—I want to test her.”
This time, the System didn’t refuse and even helped cover for it. After all, suddenly dragging Ge Bai over like this needed a reasonable explanation.
The Spatial Rift appeared directly in the Plum Garden—that was like cutting into the Interstellar Alliance’s main artery.
There would definitely be a detailed investigation afterward; the Cave Heaven Tree had been a bit reckless this time.
“Disguise it as a Trial. Later, you take the initiative to contact the Alliance people, just like the Dragon Roaming Jade Calyx Plum, pretending you want to befriend the Alliance.”
“Ge Bai’s contract Spirit Plant is Mortal Spirit Realm Level Three. Be careful with your strength.”
“Right, bring out some Time Soil as the Trial reward.”
The System’s computing power, or rather its brain, was still more useful than a tree’s. In just a few sentences, it arranged everything clearly for the Cave Heaven Tree.
“Okay. Wait, no, Shen Nong—how’s her level? If she can’t win me, how do I give the reward?”
The System was choked by the Cave Heaven Tree’s straightforward, intestine-like thought process and couldn’t speak for a while.
“Then consider it your Trial compensation!”
“Okay!”
The flowers and plants the Sovereign raised back then didn’t have many with good brains. The System secretly grumbled.
——
Ge Bai was still searching for a path in the valley, with her Spirit Plant Communicator Talent always active, but she hadn’t heard any valuable information.
“Bai Bai, the Spiritual Power Content here is so abundant.”
Ge Bai summoned Big Willow, and the mini-state Big Willow stood on her shoulder, looking around.
“Big Willow, keep an eye on the surroundings too.”
Before Ge Bai and Big Willow could say much, another wave of dizziness hit, and she and Big Willow were teleported to an open ground at the top of a mountain range.
“Ding, System Task: Defeat the opponent and complete the Sovereign Spirit Plant Cave Heaven Tree’s Trial. Success rewards Time Soil and smooth return to the Plum Garden.”
Hearing the System’s voice, Ge Bai let out a long breath of relief.
She didn’t know what the System was up to, but it probably wouldn’t mess up. A battle? No big deal.
Ge Bai set aside her anxiety, mustered 120% spirit to observe the surrounding venue, and whispered to Big Willow.
“Big Willow, a battle is about to start. Stay alert.”
“Mm!”
Big Willow immediately jumped down from Ge Bai’s shoulder, transforming back to normal size, and mobilized the Spiritual Power in its body, ready to unleash skills at any moment.
Suddenly, Ge Bai saw a orchid appear out of thin air in the air ahead. Its leaves were slender and upright, like emerald sword sheaths, with layered petals as delicate as silk.
【Type: Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid (Hegemon Race)】
【Spiritual Power Value: Zero Order (Mortal Spirit Realm) Level Eight】
【Beginner Attribute: Space Element】
【Skill: Spatial Teleportation – Arbitrarily change the position of objects (creatures) within a certain range.】
【Skill: Thousand Generations Sword – Shoot leaves that explode on hitting the opponent, distorting and tearing the surrounding small area of space, causing damage.】
“La, lala.”
The Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid shook its leaves and instantly disappeared.
Looking at the opponent’s information displayed by the System, Ge Bai became serious.
She quickly informed Big Willow of the information, and Big Willow also found it tricky.
These two skills were hard to deal with, and the opponent was Level Eight, fully five levels higher than Big Willow.
Whoosh—a green leaf shot straight down from directly above Big Willow, and the Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid’s figure appeared there.
The Thousand Generations Sword’s speed wasn’t fast, but the angle was tricky.
Big Willow awkwardly fired two Wind Blades in that direction, but due to insufficient preparation, both missed.
“Willow Whip, intercept it at range.”
Ge Bai gave clear instructions.
Big Willow’s two Willow Whips intercepted the Thousand Generations Sword at the limit of its attack range.
The Thousand Generations Sword’s Physical Attack power wasn’t strong and was easily blocked by the Willow Whips, but Big Willow and Ge Bai both knew that the ensuing space-tearing explosion was the real headache.
Sure enough, the leaf exploded, with a spherical area of about 30 cm around it distorting space. Big Willow’s two Willow Threads were in that range and were instantly torn apart.
“Lala.”
In the first clash, the Thousand Generations Spring Sword Orchid had the upper hand.
That Little Orchid flashed in front of Ge Bai again, shaking its leaves and flower, looking extremely leisurely.
But in Ge Bai’s eyes, it looked extremely punchable.
The Little Orchid in front swayed for a bit, then shot another Thousand Generations Sword.
This time, Ge Bai saw it clearly. Although the Thousand Generations Sword had high attack power, it needed some charge time, and its flight speed in the air couldn’t match Big Willow’s Wind Blades—it wasn’t impossible to resist.
“Big Willow, fire more Wind Blades.”
“Liu Gu!”
Big Willow had just been hurt by the explosion and was full of pent-up anger.
Seeing the opponent enter its comfortable attack zone, it unhesitatingly fired six Wind Blades at once: four intercepting the Thousand Generations Sword, the remaining two heading straight for the Little Orchid.
