Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 271 - 269: Dream Realm Pearl Stirs, Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Grass
Xia Feng didn’t hesitate at all and walked directly out of the tent.
Feng Yu happened to be guarding the entrance, yawned, and asked, "Emperor’s Son, has something happened?"
Both Feng Yu and Chu Yue knew about the Thousand-foot Worm in the Taihang Mountain Range.
He didn’t hide it: "The Heaven-Swallowing Grass is about to ripen, I’ll keep an eye on it these days."
Feng Yu also became interested and eagerly followed along: "I’ll accompany the Emperor’s Son."
Xia Feng stopped and glanced at him: "It’s just a few days, you and Chu Yue stay here first."
Seeing Xia Feng’s expression with a hint of hesitation, Feng Yu looked puzzled: "Does the Emperor’s Son have any other instructions?"
Xia Feng came back to his senses, appearing even more hesitant.
"These days, you and Chu Yue..."
As soon as he mentioned Chu Yue, he also came over: "Emperor’s Son, did you call me for something?"
Xia Feng turned to look at him: "I have something to do in the Taihang Mountain Range these days, you know I will be going to the Endless Sea soon, and it’s full of dangers."
At this point, Xia Feng paused: "So, today I ask your opinions."
"To the Endless Sea, are you going or not?"
Xia Feng himself was somewhat reluctant to take both of them, or rather, taking Feng Yu was fine, but adding Chu Yue would be somewhat burdensome.
After all, Feng Yu was a Celestial Tier Ninth Layer Martial Sovereign, while Chu Yue was just a Yellow Tier First Layer Martial Sovereign, clearly going to the Endless Sea would be seeking death.
Chu Yue understood this, so he knew what the Emperor’s Son was struggling with.
Feng Yu’s eyes sparkled: "I’m going, I’m going, Emperor’s Son, I want to go."
Chu Yue appeared slightly disappointed: "I’ll wait for the Emperor’s Son in Great Li."
Xia Feng nodded, looking at Feng Yu on the side: "These days, don’t bother with anything else, go to the Taihang Mountain Range to find a flying or amphibious Exotic Beast."
"If you can’t subdue it, come find me, you should know the location anyway."
After saying this, he thought for a moment; there was nothing else he needed to explain, and he headed towards the Taihang Mountain Range.
The Nine Evils in his sleeve continually transmitted a sense of urgency to him.
Xia Feng chuckled softly: "Don’t worry, eventually it will be yours."
The Nine Evils’ restlessness calmed down a bit but still kept wagging its tail.
The Thousand-foot Worm had long since shrunk its size, waiting in the depths of the Taihang Mountain Range for Xia Feng to arrive, and now it saw Xia Feng coming, and immediately invited him into the cave with a respectful attitude.
He instinctively extended his Divine Sense to check the surroundings, while the Thousand-foot Worm lowered its head, not daring to speak.
Once they entered the cave, it finally spoke with a bitter expression: "The Emperor’s Son’s majestic demeanor has spread throughout the Taihang Mountain Range."
"There’s no need for the Emperor’s Son to worry about me doing anything, I... dare not."
Xia Feng paused; he was indeed worried that the Thousand-foot Worm might find some helpers to ambush him in the vicinity.
Or perhaps plant some lure or other thing on the unripe Heaven-Swallowing Grass.
However, hearing the Thousand-foot Worm’s explanation, Xia Feng didn’t say whether he believed it or not, but he definitely took another look at it.
"You do have an obedient nature."
The Thousand-foot Worm showed a bitter smile without explaining further.
How could it dare not to be obedient, it once had thoughts of escape, but after hearing about that battle where Xia Feng fought against two gods alone, it dared not entertain any foolish ideas.
The entire Northern Continent is now essentially in Xia Feng’s grasp, and it doesn’t have the capability to flee to another continent.
The Endless Sea is quite famed, aside from Xia Feng finding another way, there’s truly no one else able to traverse between continents freely.
That one withered Heaven-Swallowing Grass sprouted a sky-blue line from its root.
The line was almost reaching the top by now.
Xia Feng felt a bit of regret in his heart. Earlier, the Nine Evils mentioned distinguishing between ordinary Heaven-Swallowing Grass and Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Grass by color.
With only one sky-blue line currently, it’s likely just an ordinary Heaven-Swallowing Grass.
He had just thought this when the Nine Evils in his sleeve spoke: "Master, we can only distinguish it when it is fully mature."
He raised an eyebrow but said no more.
Two days later, waves of Great Dao Rules suddenly emanated around them.
Xia Feng abruptly stood up, warily scanning the surrounding environment.
The Thousand-foot Worm, fearful of Xia Feng misunderstanding that it did something, hurriedly explained.
"Emperor’s Son, the Heaven-Swallowing Grass is ripening, thus it attracts the Great Dao Rules, which is considered a Celestial Omen."
The Nine Evils also spoke: "Indeed, I heard when Spirit Grass matures, there’s even Thunder Tribulations descending."
Xia Feng had never seen such Spirit Grass, but hearing both the Thousand-foot Worm and Nine Evils mentioning it, he relaxed his mind, though his body still had a trace of vigilant defense against the surroundings.
The sky-blue lines on the Heaven-Swallowing Grass gradually spread, then more lines began to sprout from the root, weaving around the leaf.
As the threads spread and grew, the surrounding Great Dao Rules grew more intense.
Xia Feng tried to sense the Daos contained within, and could discern only the Great Dao of Earth and the Great Dao of Life, along with some Daos he couldn’t perceive.
Might there be the Great Dao of Swallowing among them?
Although Xia Feng practiced ten Daos simultaneously and was nearing Perfection, he couldn’t help but explore the unowned new Dao. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
The Nine Evils had somehow slipped out of his sleeve, its form expanded, and two massive serpent heads intensely fixed on the Spirit Grass.
The Thousand-foot Worm had long since hidden to the side, fearing that if it continued to hover in front, it would be mistaken by Xia Feng as unwilling to let go of the Heaven-Swallowing Grass, and might end up being taken down as well.
Suddenly, the Great Dao Rules trembled continuously, and layers of sky-blue light emanated from the Heaven-Swallowing Grass.
Xia Feng wore a slight expression of regret, it seemed it hadn’t broken through to become a Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Grass.
However, he wasn’t particularly concerned, as the Nine Evils devouring it would be good if it was top level, but even if not, it was no big deal.
There would be better opportunities to encounter other Spirit Grass in the future.
Xia Feng had just thought to comfort the Nine Evils when he sensed a faint Energy seemed to be seeping from the Dream Realm Pearl, drifting towards the Heaven-Swallowing Grass.
He wore an expression of mild confusion, knowing that all along, the Dream Realm Pearl besides absorbing some Power of Faith and then purifying it to nourish him, had never done anything like this on its own.
Was something happening that he didn’t know about, or was there something special about the Heaven-Swallowing Grass?
While he was confused, diverse colors of light emanated between heaven and earth, those Daos gathering at that spot of Spirit Grass in the cave.
Xia Feng held his breath to watch, Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Grass emits seven different lights, yet presently the light far exceeded seven.
The Nine Evil’s voice carried an incredulous excitement: "Nine-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Grass?"
