316: Chapter 316 Dream Soul Demon Plant
The full-moon mark between Moon Apostle Sophia's brows suddenly vibrated, signaling danger. She immediately blurted out a warning to Wang An and Lu Tianxin: "Watch out, it's a Human-Faced Eagle!"
What puzzled the Moon Apostle, however, was that neither of them even turned their heads, nor did they make any defensive moves.
A tiny black thread flashed by, and the Human-Faced Eagle flying behind them was instantly split in two; it struggled twice before completely losing all signs of life.
Only then did the two turn around to examine the anatomy of the Human-Faced Eagle Demonic Beast.
The hundred-meter-large body crashing to the ground, with blue blood splattering everywhere, was quite a shocking sight.
As a newly promoted high-sequence being, Moon Apostle Sophia had only seen such powerful creatures once or twice in her life.
The three approached to investigate. The Flying Sword, which had returned to Wang An's side at some unknown point, flew back into the Human-Faced Eagle Demonic Beast's body, and a moment later, brought out a core the size of a head.
"This is the core of a Moon Demonic Beast; most of their Soul and Demonic Beast power is stored here. We can view their memories; perhaps we can find some locations with good resources."
Inside this Demonic Beast core, they also saw a tiny Human-Faced Eagle Soul, wandering about with an uneasy expression.
Without further ado, they swept their magic power across this Human-Faced Eagle Soul, and the memories within were revealed before them. The memories flashed by rapidly, and soon they found several resource nodes.
Moon Apostle Sophia said happily: "That place should be the Moon Soul Forest. The Moon God told me it contains Moon Soul Divine Fruits that nourish the Soul. Should we go take a look?"
"Sure, we aren't in a rush anyway."
For Wang An, as long as he stayed here, he could continuously gather the various Heaven and Earth Qi on Moon Mountain.
Over these past few days, he had been aiming to gather enough resources to refine Innate Profound Qi.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
The three quickly flew in that direction, encountering quite a few flying Demonic Beasts similar to the Human-Faced Eagle along the way.
However, these were only at the first or second level of the intermediate stage, and their fate was sealed the moment they faced Wang An.
Soon night fell, and although the setting crescent moon could not be seen in the sky in this area, Wang An and the others could see specks of white, beautiful light rising above this Moon Mountain, coalescing into various energy bodies.
"I can feel that these energy bodies possess an extremely weak consciousness, much like some Demonic Plants."
At this moment, Sophia, while reaching out to capture these energy bodies, introduced them to Wang An and the other: "These are the Moon Essences I mentioned. They are the purest spirit bodies on the entire Moon Mountain."
"Besides helping us transcendent beings on the sequence path stabilize our thoughts and cleanse pollution, if there is a surplus, they can also be used as a resource to accelerate the mastery of sequence abilities."
Hearing this introduction, Wang An and Lu Tianxin didn't waste any time; they collected these second-order Moon Essences while heading toward the Moon Soul Forest.
Wang An consumed one himself, and his mind cleared slightly: "The level is still too low; it's not very useful to me. If there were any at the second-order, third-level, perhaps I could even extract Profound Qi."
Right now, the Dark Obsidian Winged Dragon imprisoned in his [Twelve Life and Death Space Reincarnation Heavenly River World] was being slowly refined by him into pure Innate Profound Qi.
After more than half a year of consumption, the Dark Obsidian Winged Dragon's transcendent energy had long since been depleted. In his Dharma World, every bit of the Winged Dragon's transcendent energy used was one bit less; it was now a fish on the chopping block, ready for him to slaughter.
Wang An decided that after extracting the two major Law Profound Truths of Evil Thunder and Dark Thunder, he would use the Dark Obsidian Winged Dragon's original Dark Obsidian Cutting Law to refine his Flying Sword, upgrading it, otherwise, it would start to lag behind him.
The three continued to collect Moon Essences, and it was only deep into the night that they reached the center of the Moon Soul Forest.
On a central island in the middle of a small lake, a Demonic Plant fruit tree grew lushly, laden with over a dozen fruits.
Before the two could get close, a giant white python emerged from the lake, guarding the Demonic Plant.
"Hiss, hiss—" The sound of a snake flicking its tongue rang out, the threat and warning clear as day.
However, this time Wang An did not go on a killing spree; this white python was only warning them and had not actively attacked.
Moreover, from the perspective of his Qi numbers, this white python's Qi was clear and harmonious, clearly very different from those Moon Demonic Beasts that followed the Law of the jungle.
Therefore, Wang An immediately released his intermediate third-level Aura, and a brilliant Heavenly River Water Golden Nature quietly ascended into the sky, instantly intimidating the white python.
The terrifying pressure and threat of death immediately made the white python decisively abandon the Demonic Plant and flee the forest as if escaping.
The two were a bit puzzled: "Master, Immortal Master Heavenly River, why let it go?"
"I observed that this white python's Qi is clear and harmonious; it is a beast that feeds on clear, spiritual Qi, far better than those other Demonic Beasts that only know how to kill. Let us not create unnecessary bloodshed."
The two looked at the white python, which had run far away, nodded, and then landed on the island in the center of the lake. A sense of peace from the Soul Forest emerged in the three's minds, as if they just wanted to fall asleep.
"Drip, drop, swish, swish—" The sound of falling rain suddenly rang out.
Sophia's spirit and thoughts were alerted, and she immediately cleared the urge to fall asleep from her mind.
At this moment, he saw Wang An, who had walked under the Moon Soul Demonic Plant tree, observing the internal Origin of the Demonic Plant tree while saying: "This is likely not an ordinary Demonic Plant. I can feel the existence of more than one weak Law; I didn't expect to encounter such a good thing."
From Wang An's observation, this Demonic Plant tree, with an Aura only at the intermediate second-order, should already possess two types of Laws: Soul Spirit and Dream Spirit. It could be considered a relatively rare type of Demonic Plant.
"No wonder they say it can nourish the Soul; it should also possess the ability to bring people into dreams. It should be called a Dream Soul Demonic Plant."
Subsequently, Wang An used his Yang Spirit Divine Thought to invade the core of this Dream Soul Demonic Plant, but only discovered a trace of weak instinctual consciousness remaining. "This is a bit strange."
"Master, what is strange?" "A Demonic Plant that controls Soul Spirit and Dream Spirit Laws should not have such weak spirituality and consciousness. Don't you find it strange?"
After thinking for a while, he couldn't come up with any reason, so he took the two of them to pick the Moon Soul Divine Fruits from the Demonic Plant.
"Master, we picked 17 in total, and there are 13 that are not yet ripe."
"Let me taste what it's like." Lu Tianxin took a large plate and piled these Moon Soul Divine Fruits together. The three of them each picked one up and tasted it.
Wang An took a bite, and the pure Soul energy within the Moon Soul Divine Fruit surged into his body, quickly being absorbed by his Yin Spirit.
Even though it was only an intermediate second-order spiritual item, it still strengthened his Yin Spirit Soul body a little.
And after the nourishment, a sense of drowsiness, in a way that even he found extremely difficult to resist, washed over his heart.
