Twin Flowers
Chapter 1253 Twin Flowers
Yunxi mentally reviewed the contents of the small jade slip and found information about the Langhuan Twin Flowers. This immortal plant only exists in the Langhuan Secret Realm. Although it is the name of a flower, it is actually a tree. However, the shape of this tree resembles a flower, and the color of the tree varies depending on the length of its growth. The highest-grade Twin Flowers are purple-gold, while the lowest-grade ones are red.
The reason why the Twin Flowers of Langhuan are so favored by immortals is because of its unique characteristic of being two flowers in one body. By using one Twin Flower as the main material to create a clone, the master only needs to separate a wisp of soul and inject it into one of the clones. Then, the two clones created with the Twin Flower are nurtured together.
Within a century, another body, without the infusion of a split soul, can perfectly replicate all the attributes of the first clone, including the divine soul. This is equivalent to nurturing an additional soul body for the master.
Once the master's soul is injured, it can absorb the soul of this clone to recover. If the physical body is destroyed, this clone can also bear the master's complete soul and continue to cultivate and ascend, which is equivalent to a useful physical body.
The path of cultivation is arduous, and no one can guarantee a smooth journey. Therefore, having a clone made from twin flowers is like having an extra life and an extra chance to ascend. So, every immortal who enters the Langhuan Secret Realm wants to find a twin flower. Although it takes a lot of time, effort, and materials to make a clone from twin flowers, it is still highly sought after.
Before entering the secret realm, Yunxi had seriously studied the Langhuan Twin Flowers. Based on her experience, this Langhuan Twin Flowers was like a natural cloning mold. Whatever genes you add, it can clone. The soul-splitting and body-entering allows the clone to have the original owner's memories. Otherwise, why is it that only the clones made from the twin flowers can continue to cultivate?
The Heavenly Dao isn't stupid; it wouldn't allow a lifeless puppet to ascend. At the very least, such an avatar wouldn't withstand the tribulation of lightning; it would fall apart with a single strike.
Now that she had the opportunity to find this magical plant, she had no reason to miss it. Moreover, Di Fei was right; the location of the twin flowers was exactly on the route to find Yuwen He.
So the two happily decided to take down the Langhuan Twin Flowers first. In order to save time, they pushed their speed to the limit and arrived at the valley where the Twin Flowers were located in just three days.
Just like Tianqiong Waterfall before, many immortals had gathered at the entrance of the valley. However, this time, everyone looked grim because they could not enter. The entrance was blocked by a group of sixth and seventh-level three-eyed golden monkeys, and the two sides were in a standoff.
Yunxi and Difei exchanged a glance, then slowed their pace and leisurely approached.
The lead three-eyed golden monkey was at the seventh level of strength, two meters tall, with soft golden fur, a light blue face, and three bright black eyes silently sizing up the immortal before it. It flicked its tail and said:
"If you can offer something that satisfies us, we will allow you to enter our territory. But if you try to force your way in, don't blame us for being impolite."
After speaking, he unleashed his full power, forcing the less powerful immortals to retreat.
Behind the seventh-tier three-eyed golden monkey, a group of sixth-tier companions jumped around and cheered, all looking eager to try, clearly ready to fight at any moment.
Di Fei was somewhat speechless, then turned to Yun Xi and said:
"This place where the Langhuan Twin Flowers grow is actually the ancestral home of the Three-Eyed Golden Monkey clan. Why didn't the immortals who entered the secret realm mention it before?"
"Perhaps these three-eyed golden monkeys migrated here after the secret realm closed."
At this moment, a celestial being stepped forward to negotiate with the seventh-tier three-eyed golden monkey, taking out an item and handing it to the monkey. However, the monkey seemed unimpressed, throwing the box back and looking at another celestial being who stepped forward.
Clearly, the immortals gathered here were all adhering to the principle of avoiding conflict if possible, and chose to trade with the Three-Eyed Golden Monkey group. After all, there was still a long time before the secret realm closed, and there was no need to start fighting right away. Everyone tacitly chose to preserve their strength.
Yunxi and Difei arrived relatively late and ended up at the end of the line. They watched as the Three-Eyed Golden Monkey rejected one item after another with disdain. In the past half hour, only one demon immortal and one fairy immortal successfully completed a transaction and entered the valley.
The queue continued to grow, and the four people trailing behind Yunxi and Difei also arrived. Seeing the two eagerly waiting in line for the transaction, their lips twitched involuntarily. Cuiying blinked and said:
"Yu Xingchi, are you sure following them will lead us to clues about the divine artifact?"
Yu Xingchi himself was also somewhat uncertain. Everyone who enters the secret realm is in a hurry to find divine artifacts, but these two people are obviously here for the opportunities in the secret realm, so he had some doubts about his decision.
"Amitabha! The three of you, please be patient! We've only been in this secret realm for a few days, so we have plenty of time. Let's see what opportunities we can find here."
After saying that, he went up to the immortals in line and inquired about the situation here.
Hua Wu and Cui Ying exchanged a glance and joined the queue. Yu Xing Chi pinched the bridge of his nose and then stood behind the three of them.
Meanwhile, Yuwen He's situation was not so good. He followed the voice that was leading him into a forest of dead trees. There was no vegetation here, all the trees were charred black, and the ground was all scorched earth. There was no sign of life, and he sensed danger.
But the voice grew increasingly urgent:
"Yuwen He, come here quickly. I've been waiting for you for too long. Only you can take me away from here. With me, you will surely become a god."
"Become a god!"
Yuwen He muttered something under his breath, but in the end he gritted his teeth and continued forward. He would not let go of the opportunity to become a god. He had a rough idea of what was calling him. He did not expect to be so lucky. He was summoned by a divine artifact as soon as he entered the secret realm.
The deeper Yuwenhe went into the withered forest, the stronger the attraction became, and he unconsciously quickened his pace.
An hour later, he entered the deepest part of the deadwood forest. The deadwood trees blocked out the sun, making this place a unique and eerily quiet place. He could even smell the stench of blood.
As Yuwen He's steps slowed down, the black shadow within him began to tremble, and the trembling frequency increased, eventually causing Yuwen He to disappear from the spot.
When Yuwen He regained consciousness, he found himself on a black altar. He cautiously released his divine sense to investigate and confirmed that he was inside a hollow of a dead giant tree. Under his feet was a huge tree stump, but the hollow was filled with bones. A rusty weapon was stuck in the very center of the altar, and it trembled slightly when he looked at it.
Yuwen He flashed to the center of the altar, and as if possessed, reached out and grasped the broken hilt of the sword, trying to pull it out. With his effort, the rusty blade was slowly pulled out.
Finally, Yuwen He successfully pulled out the blade and examined the divine weapon with shining eyes. He found that apart from a chip at the blade and a chip at the hilt, the entire weapon was basically intact. He excitedly flicked out a drop of his heart's blood and a wisp of his soul, wanting to recognize it as his own first.
One more chapter, I'll upload it as soon as it's finished.
