Chapter 432: 242 Green Vine Goblins, Undying Heart! (Please subscribe! Please vote monthly!)_3
Terrifying!
It seemed capable of severing everything, stifling the spark of life.
Li Yixi watched Qin Hao.
She was savoring the essence of that sword move from just moments ago.
Since she had grasped Sword Intent, Li Yixi had become even more sensitive to other forms of Sword Intent.
Having witnessed the Sword Intent of the Heavenly Master, she had gained new insights into her own Sword Intent.
Li Yixi asked, "Teacher, was that, Sword Intent, just now?"
Qin Hao replied, "That was the fully realized Destructive Sword Intent. Reflect on it well; if you can integrate it with your Green Light Sword Intent, it will greatly benefit your future development in Sword Dao Cultivation!"
This wasn’t just empty talk from Qin Hao.
His Destructive Sword Intent was one kind of the supreme Sword Intents.
Its power was terrifying and unmatched.
It was mainly focused on a path of killing and destruction.
Even getting a glimpse into the mere surface of Destructive Sword Intent was extremely advantageous for Li Yixi.
Thus, Qin Hao’s actions served both to slay demons and to aid his disciple in elevating her understanding of Sword Intent.
Li Yixi nodded and began to deeply contemplate her teacher’s sword move. freeweɓnøvel.com
While Li Yixi was immersed in understanding the sword,
Qin Hao struck toward the ground with his palm.
The power from the Golden Core within his body spread into the earth.
Instantly, everyone felt the ground shake tremendously.
With one palm strike at the ground from the Heavenly Master,
"Boom boom boom boom!"
A series of explosive sounds erupted.
Vast swathes of soil within the soluble cave loosened and blew apart.
Two large unidentifiable plants were blasted from underground by his palm.
These two plants resembled two fleshy balls,
colored a deep green,
with countless vines and roots growing all around their bodies.
These were the original bodies of the underground vines they had encountered earlier—
Green Vine Goblins!
These two clumps of Green Vine Goblins had clearly developed some spiritual intelligence.
Having been frustrated by Qin Hao earlier,
they were extremely wary of him.
They never imagined they could be unearthed by a simple slap.
This person’s cultivation level was terrifyingly unparalleled.
These two clumps of Green Vine Goblins flailed their vines, attempting to burrow back into the ground and escape.
One of them was instantly bisected by Qin Hao with his sword.
The Destructive Sword Intent turned into Sword Qi and cut it right down the middle.
One of the Green Vine Goblins died, never to live again.
From its body, a glowing green light—the Crystal Core—slowly rose.
Qin Hao inhaled with his palm, drawing this glowing Crystal Core into his hand.
"Undying Heart, what a fine item!"
This was the reason why Ye Jiuyun and Li Yixi, who had been hacking at the Green Vine Goblin’s vines for a long time, seemed never to be able to chop them all down.
Because whenever they were cut, these Green Vine Goblins regrew like an enhanced version of chives!
Their regeneration ability was off the charts.
As long as their core wasn’t damaged, they could regenerate instantly,
So, conventional methods of slicing the vines were as inconsequential to the Green Vine Goblins as dead skin is to a person.
Inconsequential and regrowable in a single breath.
And the energy source of this terrifying regeneration ability was the core of the body—the "Undying Heart"!
A Green Vine Goblin needed a hundred years to develop an Undying Heart the size of a pinky fingernail.
A thousand years would allow it to grow to the size of a grape.
And after ten thousand years, the Undying Heart could become as big as a walnut.
As for this Green Vine Goblin that had just split open, revealing an Undying Heart the size of a fist,
Its growth period had to be at least a hundred thousand years.
A hundred thousand-year-old Green Vine Goblin?
That age was somewhat terrifying.
If used as a component in medicine, it’s estimated that even doing nothing but soaking it in water,
The water infused with it could likely possess miraculous regenerative properties.
Qin Hao casually dispatched one of the escaping Green Vine Goblins,
And then turned to look at the other one.
He waved his sword in his hand and said,
"Supreme Heavenly Venerate, do you also want to run?"
The implication in Qin Hao’s words was clear: Run? Do you think you can outrun the Sword Qi in my hand?
That was just a sample of what I can do; if you try to flee, your fate will be the same as that other Green Vine Goblin’s!
Understand?
The surviving Green Vine Goblin was terrified out of its wits.
It had never seen such a fearsome person in its life.
Every vine on its body trembled.
The plant’s fleshy ball of a body kept shivering.
It dared not run any longer, fearing that Qin Hao would truly strike with his sword and kill it as well.
Seeing that the creature had stopped attempting escape,
Qin Hao was quite pleased.
His intimidation tactics were clearly effective.
Originally, Qin Hao intended to kill one and spare the other anyway.
Kill one to get the Undying Heart for medicinal infusion,
And the other could be taken back to Qingyun Mountain; with its strong regenerative ability, it was a resource to be utilized—such thick vines could be chopped and used as raw production material. How could that not be a direct path to wealth?
It had to be put to good use!
Qin Hao used the Purple Gourd to capture the remaining Green Vine Goblin.
He also took the opportunity to collect the body of the other Green Vine Goblin.
The Undying Heart was his,
But the body of that Green Vine Goblin could still be used for making Essence Pills.
Maximizing utility was always the right choice.
This is why the Heavenly Master is the Heavenly Master.
With just a few quick actions, he solved a challenge that had everyone else feeling utterly vexed.
Apart from constantly saying "awesome," Ye Jiuyun and the others had no other words.
Without the biggest obstacle—interference from the Green Vine Goblins—the rest of the journey should be mostly trouble-free, as long as they were careful and wore the specially made suits.
After passing through the Plant Forest and the soluble cave,
A new corridor appeared, revealing fresh murals.
These murals told the subsequent story of Emperor Ai of Jin, Sima Pi, entering the Ancient Tomb for his immortal cultivation.
After feigning death with the aid of Immortal Pills and shedding the responsibilities of an emperor, Sima Pi came into the tomb with a large number of Death Soldiers and Outer World Alchemists.
Indeed, they discovered many items related to the pursuit of immortality here—
Large boxes of Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts, exquisite treasures, Immortal Pills, and Divine Medicine.
Sima Pi had his Death Soldiers construct the Ancient Tomb and, at the same time, led a group of Outer World Alchemists to cultivate in seclusion.
Many years later, Sima Pi truly achieved something significant.
He and his Death Soldiers and Magicians could engage in Sword Flight, or even use various Divine Skills.
Later, they ventured deeper into the tomb and discovered even more astonishing things.
At the very depths of the tomb lay a Divine Pool.
The Divine Pool seemed to be the resting place of a True Dragon. Sima Pi practiced his cultivation there for a time, gaining formidable physical strength.
Then, he opened an altar next to the Divine Pool.
This altar resembled some kind of ’portal.’
With his Death Soldiers and Magician subordinates, Sima Pi stepped into this portal and vanished from this realm.
The murals in this corridor illustrated just that much—
Sima Pi and his followers entered some sort of ’portal,’ and then they disappeared without a trace.
Professor Cao was on pins and needles.
He was eager to find out what happened next to Emperor Ai.
What was at the end of that portal?
What place did it lead to?
Professor Cao hated people who tell stories only half-way through.
Professor Cao: "Finish what you have to say already. It’s not like you’re going to die talking, right..."
