The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 739 - 412: The Big Bang
Qi Zai beside her had also shown a look of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Don’t be discouraged. What you need to do these days is to figure out the maximum strength you can handle," he reminded her, "As your realm improves, your physical fitness will become stronger, and the usable strength you can borrow from the innate Power of Giant Snake will also increase."
She grudgingly agreed. Indeed, the idea of ascending to godhood in one step was still far too remote for her.
It was during a time when the two of them were alone one day that she belatedly realized: "Changtian, why don’t you eat a Dragon Elephant Fruit too?"
He replied indifferently, "No need. The effects on me would be minimal." Seeing disbelief in her eyes, he suddenly put down the scroll in his hand, grabbed both her hands and twisted them behind her back. She immediately became alert and said, "What are you doing!"
He tightened his grip on her two wrists with just one palm, "Struggle with all your might."
She really did try to struggle, but to no avail. This fellow was just gently holding her, seemingly without putting in any effort, and yet she couldn’t break free?
Unwilling to accept defeat, she exhausted the strength she had newly gained today and tried again.
Her hands still could not gain freedom.
Seeing her big eyes turning furiously, he couldn’t help but kiss her eyelid: "Take out the Demon Skull and try again. Start from seven hundred thousand catties of strength."
She carefully summoned the Demon Skull, being careful not to hurt him, then felt the empowering sensation brought by the innate Power of Giant Snake, before she circulated her Divine Power and struggled desperately!
Damn it, why can’t she still not break free?!
Seeing her face turning red with exertion, Changtian tried not to laugh and said, "Again, put more strength into it."
"Again!"
"Again..."
"Continue..."
This guy was about to crush her spirit to death! Ning Xiaoxian clenched her teeth, the playful mockery in his eyes igniting her anger, she recklessly used her Giant Strength.
"Ah... it hurts!" She suddenly cried out in pain. She had managed to use the strength, but because the Divine Power was circulating too quickly, the meridians that were rapidly washed over instantly felt unbearable pain, and the tendons and bones in her hands also seemed to be pulled. She was depressed to realize that what Changtian had said before wasn’t an exaggeration.
What made her most frustrated was that even after injuring her own hands, she still couldn’t break free from his vise-like grip. As her cultivation grew higher, she felt more and more that Changtian’s cultivation was unfathomable. Looking up to a high mountain, this kind of feeling was truly defeating.
Hearing her cry, Changtian finally released her hands and carefully massaged her wrists, then said seriously: "You’ve found out. Your maximum load strength should be around one million two hundred thousand catties. During a fight, it’s safe as long as you don’t exceed this number."
"..." She wordlessly bit at his hand. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
He quickly bit her back in return.

That night, there was no wind. The rustling of the trees in the forest sea was also unusually calm, and the entire Bashe Forest was asleep in the silver moonlight.
Demon child number fifty-seven, on duty to guard the Immortal Plant Garden tonight, was preparing to patrol one last time with a companion along the garden path, and then planned to rest under the largest Jialuo tree. This place is the Immortal Plant Garden after all, hidden deep within the Ba Snake Mountain Range in the Hidden Stream Sacred Land, and for several thousand years there have been no mishaps. Many of the night-loving plants in the garden, like the night-blooming cereus and the Heavenly Star Grass, were also absorbing Moonlight like demons, presenting a scene of serene tranquility.
They were just slacking off for a moment, surely no one would notice. Besides, how unlucky would it have to be, for something to go wrong precisely during their patrol interval?
After completing the last round without finding anything unusual, it secretly slunk off.
The silver light sprinkled on it, gentle as water. Fifty-seven slowly sank into sweet dreams, unaware that it had already set foot on Huangquan Road.
Thirty seconds later, "Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom—" Four loud explosions suddenly erupted within the Immortal Plant Garden, followed by a shaking as if the earth and mountains trembled!
Hundreds of miles away in the Forest Palace, there was an immediate uproar of people and horses.
...
The noise from outside woke Ning Xiaoxian from her breathing regulation, and she also felt the slight trembling of the ground. "Is Ba Snake turning over again?" The thought had just arisen when she dismissed it—impossible, where would the huge noise come from if Ba Snake was just turning over? It couldn’t be so close and frequent, and by the sound of it, it seemed more like an explosion.
This is Hidden Stream, which foolish person would dare come here to seek bad luck? She looked in the direction of the explosion, but her heart sank: trouble, it seems the Immortal Plant Garden is in trouble. She had been appointed as the dedicated Pill Master of the Immortal Plant Garden and had since moved to a new residence not more than ten miles away from the Garden. This is the rule of the Immortal Plant Garden; all Pill Masters must live nearby.
