Chapter 2196 - 2198: Thought of Dao
The scene of the Nascent Souls battling was extremely intense, and typically, participants wouldn’t have the leisure to observe other things.
But among the Nascent Soul True Immortals watching, most were capable of multitasking, someone noticed him, "Is this courting death?"
——You’re merely at the Initial Golden Core Stage, almost in the center of the battlefield, and you dare to step out of the defensive formation?
Feng Jun actually didn’t feel much pressure; the battlefield was dangerous, but in terms of escaping, who could be better than him? Especially with Liu Yiyi in his pocket, he wasn’t afraid even if he ended up in the Void.
So he stepped out of the defensive formation, first as a silent warning, and second to cooperate with Yi Jue—they had previously discussed some coordination.
Speaking of which, he was a bit curious. If Yi Jue wanted to discuss tactics, shouldn’t she find a fellow disciple from the Lingmu Sect?
Even a former comrade from the Taixu Sect would be better than seeking him out, a lone soul wandering the wilds, right?
Yi Jue’s response was straightforward—of course I could find someone else, but we’ve been cooperating for so many years, everyone knows our moves well. You just appeared in everyone’s view, we can still coordinate and make it work!
Feng Jun had simulated several times that the Transpatial Vine appeared on the battlefield, but each time it was vague, not particularly certain.
This time, he was really sure, so he stepped out of the defensive formation.
The defensive formation was one-way, it protected from the outside but not the inside. Outsiders found it difficult to break in, but it was simple for those inside to leave.
Elder Qing Ji saw him go out, frowned, and followed, "What are you doing?"
She, being on the same level as Tiegu and Yi Jue, naturally wasn’t concerned about the aftershocks of the battlefield.
As she spoke, she erected a protective shield for Feng Jun.
Feng Jun was truly touched; during his time in Tianqin, he always considered himself an outsider, much like being a "Beijing drifter" or "Shanghai drifter" in Earth’s Huaxia, having no sense of belonging to the local area.
But now, on the Tianqin Plane, a local native was actually standing up to protect him!
So he smiled and sent a thought with his Divine Sense, "Provide backup for True Immortal Yi Jue."
What he meant by backup was actually rather extreme—what if Yi Jue encountered irresistible force? You come to me!
And this method was simple—swap places, just as Gu Yue and Xia Nichang dealt with Master Dameng in Ten Directions Platform; the two just switch places—Yi Jue, you come to me, whatever you face, I’ll handle it!
When Yi Jue couldn’t withstand it anymore, Feng Jun would step up, and it might really result in death, but he believed he could bear it.
In truth, with Yi Jue’s pride, even if she couldn’t handle it, she might not seek him out, but he had to show this stance—at the very least, let me give you a warning?
In fact, as an expert in multithreading management, Yi Jue always had part of her Divine Sense on Feng Jun. Encountering Tiegu’s Fate Talisman, she was really surprised, but even more surprising was—Feng Jun stepped out of the defensive formation!
Not only was True Immortal Yi Jue unparalleled in combat strength, but she was also a master of simulation, yet at this moment, she was truly at a loss—having suffered backlash, Tiegu might have follow-up methods, and below, an extraordinary vine was eyeing her.
The most crucial thing was Feng Jun’s warning—it’s a critical moment now, if you don’t handle it well, you might fall!
Most people would likely retreat in such situations, but who was Yi Jue? She only smiled coldly when the Transpatial Vine wrapped around her, "With you... not enough! Vitality!"
Not only didn’t she resist being entwined, but she also spat out the word "Vitality"!
"Thought of Dao, it’s actually a Thought of Dao!" The spectators were almost going crazy, "She hasn’t even reached the Out-of-Body stage, yet she condensed a Thought of Dao!"
Thought of Dao is the materialization of thought, like "I say, let there be light," manifesting thought into reality, it basically has the implication of spoken words being law, rather than "I say I will kill your whole family, and then needing to implement it through actions.
In other words, the Thought of Dao influences rules, influences fate, such an ability is generally not possessed at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Even for an Out-of-Body True Sage, accomplishing this is rare, saying "let darkness retreat" is easy, but how many can manage it?
True Immortal Yi Jue truly deserved to rule Tianqin, daring to utter the word "Vitality"—she’s not trying to kill, but to transform the Dao!
Everyone’s shock was inevitable; altering the Heavenly Dao, is it that easy? You’re merely at the Nascent Soul Peak.
However, some were not concerned about this but called out to others, "Immortal Yi Jue is renowned, yet she miscalculated this time... This vine is remarkable enough, what will she do if it’s given vitality?"
These words truly make sense; at least Elder Yu Teng found them quite agitating, almost shaking off Elder Kumu’s grasp.
The Transpatial Vine itself inherently harbors immense vitality. Because it needed to stay hidden, it had condensed this vitality. Now, having received vitality released from the Nascent Soul Peak, its expansion speed increased once again, instantly striking Yi Jue heavily in the air.
The woman in palace attire was knocked flying backward, her fairy-like image abruptly crumbled, leaving her extremely embarrassed.
This reaction was as expected, but what surprised everyone was that as the vitality emerged, not only did the Transpatial Vine benefit, but under Si Ganlin’s influence, the Dragon Scale Tree and the Jade Spore Skyworm also benefited, their vitality greatly increased.
The three spirit plants, under the thought of vitality, all received benefits. However, regardless of anything else, only one of them belongs to Lingmu Sect, which seemed to be a mistake on Yi Jue’s part.
Yet surprisingly, Elder Tiegu, whose restraint effect had disappeared, coldly snorted, "Good tactic!"
Others did not know why he praised Yi Jue so much, but he was very clear that Yi Jue’s response was not significantly problematic; leaving aside the subsequent battle, she at least endured this passive situation.
The Transpatial Vine had intended to tightly bind Yi Jue, while she was constrained by the Fate Talisman. However, due to the surge in vitality, it couldn’t control the rapidly growing vines, turning "binding" into "knocking away," thus failing Tiegu’s combat objective.
Its strike merely knocked Yi Jue over ten miles away; with her defensive capability, she didn’t suffer any substantial harm, just appeared a bit disheveled.
However, the variables didn’t stop there; the Dragon Scale Wood accepted the vitality and felt so satisfied that it almost wanted to sing a song. Its roots and branches had suffered some loss, somewhat limping, but now they’ve all been replenished.
But the Jade Spore Skyworm was different; in terms of spiritual energy reserve, its half-step beyond stage far exceeds its opponent’s Nascent Soul Seventh Layer. Furthermore, its combat style is guerrilla warfare, meaning its spiritual energy expenditure is much less.
It felt a refreshing thrill, even faintly glimpsed the possibility of surpassing this stage, so following its agreement with Yi Jue, after receiving the vitality, it released its aura entirely, fiercely intimidating the Dragon Scale Wood!
The Dragon Scale Tree’s thrill relieved its exhaustion and invigorated it; it had not anticipated that its opponent would gain a slight increase in momentum too.
Facing the suddenly released awe from the Jade Spore Skyworm, it was entirely unprepared. Coupled with its prior inherent fear of facing such a natural enemy, even though it’s only a half-step momentum beyond, it was momentarily stunned.
Following that, it blinked five hundred miles away. Although a tree’s blink is much slower than a cultivator’s, this instinctive evasion behavior might allow it to avoid some dangerous situations.
The Dragon Scale Wood, even among spirit plants, considers its bloodline noble; for it, teleportation in battle is not an unacceptable behavior. It fundamentally counts as a combat technique, and besides, its current mission is to entangle the Jade Spore Skyworm, not to encircle Yi Jue.
Anyway, for a Nascent Soul, five hundred miles is really not far; it only takes a thought to return after a blink. But for now, what it needs to do is see what the Jade Spore Skyworm intends to do with that powerful aura release.
And then, it saw.
After startling it back, the Jade Spore Skyworm did not continue the pursuit but turned and charged directly at the Transpatial Vine!
It is a natural enemy of all spirit plants — except for divine entities like Jian Mu or Qingmu— so it is not afraid of the Transpatial Vine, the presence of Jian Mu’s aura within its opponent actually aroused its desire to devour the vine!
If it could devour such a spirit wood, it would be another step closer to surpassing its current stage.
It had minimal rapport with Yi Jue, but instinctively perceived Yi Jue was in danger, and after scaring away the Dragon Scale Wood, it teleported over to support Yi Jue — at the end of the day, it felt this one tasted better, so why not take a bite?
The Transpatial Vine was shocked to see it blink over. It had always hidden within the spatial prohibition formation, but it wasn’t completely ignorant of external matters. Even though it knew not of the Jade Spore Skyworm’s background, it sensed the Dragon Scale Wood’s fear.
At the same time, it had two small roots embedded into the ground slightly. As a spirit wood, its ability to perceive underground is really too strong, and it could sense the formidable underground mycelium from far away. Thankfully... its roots were quite shallow, none of that was a concern.
In short, it is a warrior laying in ambush, looking coldly at the battlefield. Its bloodline makes it not fear its opponent particularly, but its heart knows this is a very frightening enemy.
Fortunately, it knows its opponent isn’t itself, so it wishes to quickly deal with the woman in palace attire and not have any dealings with this terrifying enemy.
Meanwhile, its roots have penetrated the earth now, but it doesn’t dare to sink its main consciousness down— this fat white worm employs methods too cleverly against root damage; if it plants too deep, it might be suffocated in the soil by its opponent.
Generally speaking, plant roots wouldn’t suffocate in the earth, but the poison on its opponent’s mycelium can harm the tree’s soul, that much it is sure of. If the mycelium also goes deep into the ground, it can’t run away hiding inside.
After all, whether it’s the Transpatial Vine or Jian Mu, though they plant roots deeply, they always favor the endless sky.
So the Transpatial Vine’s main consciousness dare not delve deeply underground, it can only stick close to the surface— which is very perilous behavior.
Elder Tiegu emphasized repeatedly, where Feng Jun is present, do not let your main consciousness get too close to the surface.
But now, it doesn’t dare get too close underground, and with a natural enemy attacking, it’s truly exasperated... exasperated with vines!
