Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1331 - 14: The Campaigns of Yin Xiu, Two Rare Treasures, and the Power of the Cloud-climbing Vine! (Part 3)

"Based on their domain, and their innate traits, to calculate their overall strength, both plants can rival the late Rule Realm."

"But once they are released, it's merely instinctual attacks; the attack mode is rather clumsy and monotonous. Whether their combat power can reach a higher level depends on how I, their master, utilize them."

"The Four Seasons Divine Splendor Arena, Soldier God Decision, Rule-Leaping — these are methods to unleash the battle prowess of the plant soldiers."

"Dragon Court should be able to find two more plants, to complement the Western Autumn Divine Splendor and the Northern Winter Divine Splendor." As Zhao Xing flew northward, he also activated his Soul Heavenly Vision to search.

In the 43rd year of Yuan Shuo, East Season, in the northern region of the Dragon Court Ancient Land.

Snow covered the mountains, as if all life had perished, with no sign of vitality.

Zhao Xing flew through the icy mist in the sky; even with his Ultimate Transitions Dragon Body, he felt somewhat cold.

"Such a frozen forbidden land, even the Dragon King could easily freeze to death."

"I wonder how it's been growing."

Zhao Xing was searching for the Divine Tree that dominated the Northern Winter Divine Splendor.

"Hmm? The intensity of the cold over there suddenly increased." Zhao Xing sensed something and immediately changed direction, flying swiftly toward the northwest.

Three days later, on a mountain peak, a Five-clawed Golden Dragon lay down.

"Hoo~"

"Bang bang bang~"

The cold wind howled between heaven and earth, and hail slammed against the dragon scales with a dull thud.

"This isn't hail; it's ice cannons." Zhao Xing looked down at the dragon scales, which were covered in a layer of ice crystals.

After a while, he turned from a Five-clawed Golden Dragon into an ice crystal giant dragon.

"Clang~"

Zhao Xing shook his body, and the Ancestral Dragon Power activated, shattering the ice crystals instantly.

"It seems the Ice Soul Divine Tree is nearby."

Zhao Xing sent out several strands of his Divine Soul, charging into the vast wind and snow to start searching for the exact location of the Ice Soul Divine Tree.

After another half month, Zhao Xing finally found the Ice Soul Divine Tree.

"A peerless treasure, the Ice Soul Divine Tree."

Zhao Xing stopped when he was a hundred li away from the Ice Soul Divine Tree.

"Just looking at it, you can feel your soul freezing. The growth trajectory of the Ice Wave Divine Tree itself is a manifestation of the Dao of ice and snow!"

"Using it to dominate the Winter Divine Splendor couldn't be better."

Every leaf of the Ice Soul Divine Tree seemed transparent, with extremely clear veins resembling Dao Patterns.

As Zhao Xing looked at the tree, it seemed as if the tree did not grow from the ground, but rather the Dao grew up from the earth.

"At least it's in the late Rule Realm, and it might even be at Rule Realm Perfection." Zhao Xing murmured, "Such a Divine Tree, if it advanced further, capturing it would be very difficult."

Once it reached the Ascension Realm, a Divine Tree would inevitably have its own will.

Previously, when subduing the Dragon Spirit Bamboo and Fire Lotus, they only had survival instincts and instinctively resisted being relocated.

Having its own will puts it in the category of 'spirit creatures.'

"If it advances further, reaching the Establishing Tao Realm, the tree will become a true spirit, and in some parts of the universe, even trees ascending and breaking into space would occur."

"Luckily, this one hasn't reached the Establishing Tao Realm."

How to judge that? Naturally, because there simply aren't the conditions for it right now.

The Primordial Qi Tide can only nourish up to Rule Realm Perfection. To truly enter the Ascension Realm? Only extraordinary cases like Ji Che, Wu Yue God, and Qing Yu Zi can achieve that.

"Even at Rule Realm Perfection, it's hard to capture."

"I'll have to call my big brother."

Zhao Xing unfolded the Pure Essence Projection and then pulled out a flower basket from the ground.

The flower basket was small relative to his dragon body, but in reality, it was fifty meters long and twenty meters wide, made of top-grade treasure materials like Dragon Crystal and Mysterious Wood.

Inside was a small Spirit Pool from the Great View Realm, a dedicated home Zhao Xing had crafted for the Cloud-climbing Vine.

Of course, a big brother must be treated to a big brother's level of luxury!

"It's all up to you, Mo Yun, come help me intimidate it so it won't move."

Zhao Xing didn't care whether the Cloud-climbing Vine understood or not, as he carried the flower basket closer to the Ice Soul Divine Tree.

"Sss~~"

"Ssss ssss!!"

The Ice Soul Divine Tree started trembling violently, as if saying: Don't come any closer!

But Zhao Xing ignored it, continuing to approach quickly.

The Ice Soul Divine Tree trembled even more fiercely, and a large number of leaves began to fall, charging toward Zhao Xing's position.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Zhao Xing's dragon body ached from the shock, even his scales began to crack, causing the Pure Essence Soil to roll over.

The Cloud-climbing Vine was displeased; the Pure Essence Soil was its place of residence, how could it allow it to be destroyed?

"Buzz~"

Two purple-black leaves gently quivered, emitting waves of pulsations.

In the next moment, the Ice Soul Divine Tree seemed to freeze, standing still.

"Hahaha." Zhao Xing grinned widely.

It seemed like the Ice Soul Divine Tree wouldn't even dare to drop a leaf!

"Capture!"

Zhao Xing enveloped the roots and stem of the Ice Soul Divine Tree with the Pure Essence Projection, instantly severing a large part of its roots and sweeping it into his body.

The instinctual counterattack from the Ice Soul Divine Tree never manifested; it remained in the frozen state.

"Big brother is awesome!" Zhao Xing couldn't help but praise when he witnessed this scene.

Then he placed the Cloud-climbing Vine back in place and used the Soldier God Decision.

A surge of Spiritual Energy, infused with his own will, began to invade the Ice Soul Divine Tree's body.

"Ninth-level Ice Domain, truly a rare treasure of the late Rule Realm."

"The Ice Soul Divine Tree is a true battle tree, with no auxiliary effects, and both innate secret skills are purely offensive."

"One is the 'Snow All Over the Sky,' an area attack, there are many holes in the Ice Soul Divine Tree, these areas can blow out hail, cold wind, and heavy snow, even my Ultimate Three Transitions Ancestor Dragon Transformation can be breached."
