341: Chapter 341 Time-Traveling Spirit Plant Killing Array

However, Gao Feng never retreated a single step.

He stood there just like that, using his own body to build an insurmountable barrier for Chu Lan behind him!

Chu Lan looked at him, watching his face constantly changing, watching his back that remained steadfast, and tears streamed down uncontrollably.

She had never seen such a person before.

In order to protect her, he could endure this pain worse than death, could be eroded by the power of time again and again, and could struggle repeatedly between aging and youth.

And he, did not even have a single complaint.

"Enough..." she murmured, a flash of determination in her eyes.

She could not let Gao Feng bear all this alone.

She also wanted to fight.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and immersed all her focus into the Time Holy Vine.

That evolved spirit plant shared a connection with her heart and felt her determination.

She guided the Time Holy Vine, letting it extend its root System into the time spirit spring.

Those silver spring waters contained boundless power of time.

The Time Holy Vine greedily absorbed those powers, then converted them into the purest life energy, feeding it back to Chu Lan.

That surge of life energy poured into Chu Lan's body, crazily nourishing her Meridians, flesh, and bones.

Her cultivation, at this moment, began to soar!

Foundation Establishment Third Layer Late Stage, Foundation Establishment Third Layer Peak, Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer Early Stage, Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Layer Four, Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer Late Stage, Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer Peak...

Boom!

When that life energy reached its Peak, her cultivation finally broke through that barrier, stepping into the Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer Early Stage in one go!

Chu Lan opened her eyes, and within those eyes, a light unprecedented flickered at this moment.

That was the enlightenment after a Breakthrough, the confidence after a surge in strength, and even more, the gratitude and heartache for Gao Feng.

She stood up, waved her hand, and the Time Holy Vine flew out from her wrist, spreading out countless vines in the air!

Under the nourishment of the time spirit spring, those vines became thicker and more powerful.

Following Chu Lan's will, they set up a complex and exquisite Formation all around!

Time Spirit Plant Killing Formation!

This Formation, fusing the power of time and the power of spirit plants, could trap enemies, kill enemies, and weaken enemies!

Those vines wove through the Formation, each one containing a faint power of time, capable of interfering with the enemy's Spell and restricting the enemy's movements!

The remnant soul was dealing with Gao Feng with all its might, when it suddenly sensed an unusual movement around it.

It turned its head to look, only to see countless silver vines surging from all directions, surrounding it completely in the blink of an eye!

"This is..." its expression changed.

Those vines wrapped around it crazily; although they could not harm its main body, those powers of time were constantly eroding its remnant soul!

Its form began to become illusory, began to become unstable!

"Damn it!" it roared, wanting to break free from those vines, only to find that the more it struggled, the tighter they wrapped!

Gao Feng seized this opportunity, enduring the pain in his body, gripped the vajra sword, and slashed out with one sword!

Nine Styles of the War God, Fourth Form—Time Breaking Delusion!

The golden sword radiance contained the silver power of time, slashing fiercely towards that remnant soul!

This sword strike was stronger, faster, and more domineering than the sword strike that killed the Time Clan commander earlier!

The remnant soul widened its eyes in terror, wanting to dodge, but was tightly trapped by the Time Spirit Plant Killing Formation, unable to move!

"Ah—"

Boom!

The sword radiance slashed onto the remnant soul, erupting with a thunderous roar!

The remnant soul's form twisted violently, finally exploding with a boom, turning into specks of silver light and dissipating into the air!

The remnant soul, fallen!

With the dissipation of the remnant soul, the surrounding power of time finally returned to calm.

The whirlpool on the lake surface slowly disappeared, and the lake water became calm as a mirror once again.

Gao Feng knelt on one knee, gasping heavily.

His hair still remained in a half-black, half-white state; that was the trace left by being repeatedly eroded by the power of time just now.

His body was covered in wounds, his Spiritual Qi was almost exhausted, but his eyes were full of relief.

Chu Lan hurriedly ran over, supported him, her eyes full of heartache.

"How are you?" she asked anxiously, her voice trembling.

Gao Feng shook his head and said, "I'm fine, just need to rest a bit."

Chu Lan looked at him, looked at his half-black and half-white hair, looked at his wounds all over his body, and tears burst from her eyes again.

"Why do you have to risk your life like this..." she choked out.

Gao Feng smiled slightly and said, "Because you are my teammate."

Chu Lan was stunned, then cried even harder.

After a long while, she stopped her tears and helped Gao Feng sit down by the lake.

She took out a few drops of spirit marrow to feed him, and used a healing Spell to treat his wounds.

Under the dual effect of the spirit marrow and the healing Spell, Gao Feng's complexion finally regained some color, and those half-white hairs gradually returned to black.

"I'm fine now." He stood up, stretched his limbs, and said, "Let's go see the time spirit spring."

Chu Lan nodded and walked to the lake.

After that remnant soul dissipated, the time spirit spring completely returned to calm.

She took out more jade bottles and began to continue collecting.

This time, no more accidents happened.

She collected nearly half of the entire time spirit spring, filling up over a hundred jade bottles.

These spirit springs were enough for her spirit plant garden to use for a very long time.

"That's about enough." She stood up, looked at Gao Feng, and said, "Let's go back."

Gao Feng nodded and said, "Alright."

The two took one last look at this silver lake, then turned around and walked towards the outside of the Secret Realm along the direction they came from.

Behind them, the Time Holy Vine extended a vine from Chu Lan's spirit plant bag and waved it gently, as if saying goodbye to this place that had given birth to it.

Two days later, Gao Feng and Chu Lan returned to the Meteor Realm.

When they stepped into the Meteor Star Valley, Luo Li, Su Ning, Tianxin, Yaoguang, and Lin Yue were already waiting at the entrance of the Immortal Cave.

Seeing their figures, everyone greeted them one after another.

"You're back!" Luo Li walked quickly to Gao Feng, looked him up and down, her eyes full of worry, "Are you okay? Were you injured?"

Gao Feng smiled slightly and said, "It's fine, everything went smoothly."

Chu Lan also walked up from behind, her face filled with undisguised excitement, and said, "It wasn't just smooth, it was a huge harvest! Guess what we brought back?"

Everyone looked at her curiously.

Chu Lan mysteriously took out a jade bottle and shook it in front of everyone.

The jade bottle contained silver liquid, emitting a soft light.

"This is..." Su Ning's eyes lit up, "time spirit spring?"

Chu Lan nodded and said proudly, "That's right! And not just one bottle, but over a hundred bottles! It's enough for our spirit plant garden to use for a long time!"

Hearing this, everyone was both surprised and happy.

Although they didn't know the specific effects of the time spirit spring, they could tell from Chu Lan's excited expression that this thing was definitely extraordinary.

Chu Lan didn't explain much, she pulled everyone to the spirit plant garden and began to show her achievements.

She first chose a piece of land with open terrain and sufficient sunlight in the center of the spirit plant garden and dug a small pool by hand.

Then, she poured a bottle of time spirit spring into the pool and carved complex Formation patterns at the bottom of the pool using the Spirit Plant Array technique.

Those Formation patterns echoed with the time spirit spring, slowly guiding the power of time from the spirit spring out and permeating the entire spirit plant garden.

"This is the time spirit spring pool." Chu Lan explained, "In the future, the water used to irrigate the spirit plants will first pass through this pool, incorporating the power of the time spirit spring. In this way, the growth rate of all spirit plants will be greatly improved."

She brought a bucket of ordinary water and poured it into the pool.

That bucket of water mixed with the time spirit spring in the pool and soon took on a faint silver luster.

She carried this bucket of water, walked to a newly planted spirit plant seedling, and carefully watered it.

That seedling was originally only an inch tall, with tender green leaves, looking unremarkable.

But when the water containing the time spirit spring seeped into the soil, a miracle happened!

The seedling began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Its stalk grew thicker and taller, its leaves grew larger and more numerous, and its root System extended in all directions!

In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, it grew to half a person's height, and even a small flower bud bloomed on its branch!

Everyone watched in astonishment.

Lin Yue opened his mouth wide and murmured, "This... this is too fast, isn't it?"

Chu Lan nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is the effect of the time spirit spring. If watered with ordinary water, this spirit plant would take three months to mature. But if watered with water infused with the time spirit spring, it only takes three days!"

She turned around, looked at everyone, her eyes full of excitement, and said, "With the time spirit spring, our spirit plant garden will completely get rid of the trouble of growth cycles. Rare spirit plants that used to take years to mature can now be harvested in a few months; ordinary spirit plants that used to take months to mature can now be used in a few days!"

In the following days, Chu Lan became completely busy.

She moved all the time spirit springs into the spirit plant garden and set up several time spirit spring pools in the garden.

Each pool was connected to an irrigation System, ensuring that every spirit plant could be nourished by the time spirit spring.

She also planted the Time Holy Vine that had evolved in the Time Secret Realm in the deepest part of the spirit plant garden.

That Sacred Vine took root on the Spiritual Vein, its roots deep into the ground, and its vines clung to the specially built racks, quickly growing into a dense silver vine area.

The Time Holy Vine could not only accelerate the growth of spirit plants but also protect the entire spirit plant garden.

Anyone with ill intentions who approached would be entangled by its vines and simultaneously eroded by the power of time; the light cases would age a few years, and the heavy cases would die on the spot.

In just a few days, the spirit plant garden had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The original thousand-mu garden had now expanded to two thousand mu.

The garden was lush, with all kinds of spirit plants—Spirit Gathering Grass, Bone Refining Flower, Blood Coagulation Fruit, Heart Clearing Lotus, war soul spirit plants, Meteor Star spirit plants...

Red, green, purple, gold, silver, leaves and fruits of various colors intertwined together, creating a beautiful sight.

The air was filled with rich Spiritual Qi, which was the breath of life released by countless spirit plants together.

Taking a deep breath, one would feel refreshed and relaxed all over.
