228: Chapter 227 Unbridled Star Bath

As the two chatted, they had already crossed countless areas.

Xing Mu's consciousness swept across every mountain and river, conducting an almost carpet-like search of everywhere they passed.

"What do you need the chengxian grass for?"

Ye Xiu was somewhat puzzled; at their level of Cultivation, nothing, no matter how precious, would be of much help.

"Didn't I tell you? Awakening the future self requires certain medicinal ingredients, and this chengxian grass is the main component."

Xing Mu said nonchalantly.

Her consciousness extended for far more than hundreds of millions of miles. With such a blatant display, if the chengxian grass truly possessed intelligence, it certainly wouldn't just sit there waiting to die.

After another few days of searching.

They still had nothing to show for it.

While passing by a divine immortal mountain, Ye Xiu paused for a moment, then extended his consciousness to blanket the mountain below.

After a short while, a strange expression appeared on his Face.

Daoism!

This immortal mountain region was actually practicing Daoist Cultivation Technique, and there was even an acquaintance here.

"Why have you stopped?"

Xing Mu turned back and asked, puzzled.

"Let's go down and take a look."

Ye Xiu didn't explain much and descended directly in front of the Daoist temple at the peak of the immortal mountain.

Taiyi Hall!

Many Daoist priests with high levels of Cultivation, upon seeing the two who had suddenly appeared, all acted as if facing a great enemy, looking highly guarded.

"King Xia coming here truly makes my humble place shine."

As the words rang out.

The ethereal Master Zhang had already walked out of Taiyi Hall, and upon reaching Ye Xiu and his companion, he made a gesture of invitation.

"Heh, I didn't expect to meet the Immortal Master here. Coming here so abruptly, I hope the Immortal Master doesn't find it intrusive." Ye Xiu walked toward the main hall, smiling as he spoke.

"You are too kind, King Xia."

After Master Zhang invited the two into the main hall, some Daoist priests with decent Cultivation immediately served tea to the three of them.

"In these years, this old Daoist has traveled through all the immortal mountains and forbidden lands in this Domain, discovering many interesting things. Since King Xia is here, you must take a good look at this Domain; perhaps you will have new discoveries."

"Heh... I certainly shall."

Afterward, the two began to chat about their experiences in the Domain.

It was basically Master Zhang doing the talking, and Ye Xiu listening.

After a long while.

Xing Mu, who was on the side, spoke up somewhat boredly: "Hey, old man, have you ever seen the chengxian grass?"

"The chengxian grass?"

Master Zhang was startled, then replied: "That kind of immortal object has already attained the Dao; by the time King Xia and the Empress entered the Domain, it was likely already hiding."

"Uh..."

Xing Mu was speechless; it had hidden.

This was very difficult to handle.

"An innocent man is not guilty, but possessing a treasure is a crime. It seems that Immortal Plant is quite smart, knowing we were coming for it." Ye Xiu sighed slightly.

With the awakening of its intelligence.

Some Spiritual Plants and precious medicines have an Innate sense regarding danger.

Let alone a precious medicine that has already attained the Dao and achieved Immortal Ascension; perhaps the moment Xing Mu thought of ascending to the Domain, the Immortal Plant had already sensed the danger.

And hidden in advance.

"I originally wanted to search gently, but that chengxian grass is truly ungrateful. It deserves to die. When I find it, I will definitely erase its intelligence and refine it into a medicinal ingredient."

Xing Mu was extremely angry.

She couldn't be bothered to hide anything anymore. Her Half-Step Emperor Cultivation erupted instantly, her consciousness extending rapidly. In just a fleeting moment, she had completely blanketed the entire Domain.

Hum...

The Domain was trembling.

Mountains and rivers were cracking everywhere.

The full eruption of her Half-Step Emperor Cultivation made this endless Domain unable to bear it, showing signs of collapsing.

Countless powerhouses from various Sects, immortal nations, and divine mountains, upon seeing such a celestial phenomenon, all wore expressions of horror.

What kind of Cultivation was this?

To be able to squeeze the Domain into such a state.

As time passed.

Because the Domain could not withstand the power of a Half-Step Emperor, thunder punishments appeared in the Domain. The crackling sounds were like an apocalyptic disaster, shattering the Void Realm everywhere.

"Venerable Mu, please show mercy."

Immortal King Wushang brought several Immortal Lords to the outside of Taiyi Hall, hoping that Xing Mu would show mercy and stop searching with the power of her consciousness.

Otherwise, this Domain would definitely be severely damaged.

"Hmph, do I need you to question how I do things?" A trace of impatience appeared on Xing Mu's beautiful Face, and she directly ignored Wushang and the others.

"Xing Mu, that's enough. Stop messing around."

Ye Xiu frowned slightly; he didn't want the Domain to suffer too much damage.

"Ye Xiu, do you want your future self to wake up or not? They are just a bunch of ants; if they die, they die. I don't believe that in this Domain, a little blade of grass can hide anywhere."

Xing Mu gave no one Face and continued to search every part of the Domain with a domineering attitude.

Even if it were hidden in the Origin of the Domain, she would dig that Immortal Plant out.

"Sigh..."

Immortal King Wushang and the others dared not say anything, so they had to head to the places where the Domain was collapsing, using monstrous immortal power to suppress those unstable areas of the Domain.

Hum...

As time passed.

Within the Domain, countless powerhouses spontaneously joined the ranks of suppression, repairing the broken parts of the Domain.

"Venerable Mu, how about this old Daoist captures this grass for you?"

Outside Taiyi Hall, an old man riding an ox slowly descended from the firmament.

It was Laozi!

"Old man, I don't like joking."

"Heh... This old Daoist would certainly not joke with Venerable Mu. In three years, I will definitely deliver the Immortal Plant. I hope Venerable Mu will show mercy."

Laozi stroked his beard and spoke up, taking on this task.

Xing Mu snorted softly, and after dispersing her monstrous consciousness, she then spoke: "Today, I will give you, old Daoist, some Face."

"Many thanks, Venerable Mu."

Laozi rode his ox and slowly disappeared into the firmament.

Xing Mu didn't say anything else; she pulled the silent Ye Xiu and also disappeared.

In Taiyi Hall.

Master Zhang sighed, then sent a sound transmission to the disappeared Laozi: "The Domain is vast; I fear the chengxian grass will not be easy to find."

There was no reply.

Laozi seemed to have gone far away, as if he hadn't received Master Zhang's sound transmission.

Master Zhang sighed and didn't say anything more.

As the foremost person of Daoism, Laozi perhaps had his own considerations.

On the road.

Xing Mu's goal was very clear; she was moving rapidly toward the east.

"The exploration during this time was not without gains."

"What did you discover?"

"I have already discovered that ancient Formation, but it requires waiting for the medicinal ingredient to be made for the effect to be better."

The two moved at an extremely fast speed; after only a dozen minutes of traveling at full speed, they arrived at a withered place, where the aura of decay was very thick.

It was clearly many years old.

Whoosh...

A breeze blew past.

The ground was swept clean by an invisible force, revealing a triangular altar.

"Is this the Formation you were talking about?" Ye Xiu frowned slightly; apart from the aura of decay, he did not discover anything miraculous.

"I haven't acted yet, so this is naturally just an ordinary place."

As Xing Mu spoke, she struck the altar with her palm, and immediately, an indescribable and terrifying power surged out from the ground.

Whoosh...

Divine light soared into the sky.

Extremely blinding light lit up at the three corners.

Xing Mu stood within the Formation and spoke to Ye Xiu outside the Formation.

"Wait for that old man to bring the chengxian grass, then wake me up. Now, isolate this place; I need to use the power of the Formation to communicate with my future self."

"Alright."

Ye Xiu nodded.

He then took action, completely isolating the area covered by the Formation.
