Chapter 530: Chapter 296: Helpless, the Great True Monarch’s Dilemma

This cyan lotus seed looks vibrant and fresh, as if it has just been picked from a lotus pod, with a slightly whitish bottom, and a hint of colorful sheen at the small tip on top.

However, this colorful sheen appears merely as a reflection, giving no particularly special impression.

Thus, the entire cyan lotus seed seems to look like an ordinary one.

"Is this the Spirit Seed? What’s special about it?"

Qi Chuan asked somewhat perplexed.

"It’s special because it is unafraid of being tempered by Nascent Flame..." True Monarch Cyan Bamboo slowly replied.

"Is there such a thing?" Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan was quite astonished.

One must know that Nascent Flame is catalyzed by the power of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, especially since True Monarch Cyan Bamboo is a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator, his Nascent Flame is even more extraordinary.

Even Tier Four Spirit Seeds would be instantly ignited by Nascent Flame.

But it can’t burn this seemingly ordinary cyan lotus seed?

Whoosh!

While Qi Chuan was surprised, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo had already catalyzed his mana, igniting a ball of Nascent Flame in his palm.

True Monarch Cyan Bamboo’s Nascent Flame glowed a pale cyan color.

The space above the flame was distorted.

However, within the Nascent Flame, that cyan lotus seed showed no change, lying quietly in his palm, unaffected by the terrifying high temperature of the flame.

"This cyan lotus Seed Spirit Seed is indeed extraordinary..."

Watching the Nascent Flame gradually extinguish, Qi Chuan said with some amazement.

"To withstand the tempering of Nascent Flame, conservatively, it would have to be at least a Tier Five Spirit Seed to have a chance. Fellow Daoist Cyan Bamboo, why not plant it? There might be rewarding surprises."

Qi Chuan suggested.

"It’s not possible."

Hearing this, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo sighed and said, "Since obtaining it, I have meticulously probed and sensed it. Despite its vibrant appearance as if just plucked from a lotus pod, my Divine Sense probing reveals no trace of life inside, as if it were a lifeless object."

"A Spirit Seed like this would be impossible to grow."

"Unless there’s some way to activate it, though this method remains unknown until tested..."

"Can’t sense any life? Let me have a look." Upon hearing this, Qi Chuan felt a bit curious, picking up the cyan lotus seed and releasing his Divine Sense to sense its interior.

At present, Qi Chuan’s Divine Soul is at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, with the strength of a Great True Monarch’s Divine Soul.

His Divine Sense naturally surpasses that of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

However, no matter how carefully Qi Chuan probed, the result was just as True Monarch Cyan Bamboo described, unable to detect any trace of life within the cyan lotus seed.

On the surface, this cyan lotus seed looks like a Spirit Seed.

But in reality, it feels like a lifeless stone.

Especially after being tempered by True Monarch Cyan Bamboo’s Nascent Flame, now touched, it still feels icy cold, neither warm nor cold, very peculiar.

"Truly bizarre..."

After some examination, Qi Chuan couldn’t help but feel puzzled that such a Spirit Seed exists.

"With such a special Spirit Seed, it seems planting it through trial and error is impossible. Since it’s difficult to unravel, why doesn’t Fellow Daoist Qi Chuan take it? You surely have a greater chance of bringing it to life."

True Monarch Cyan Bamboo said.

In his view, Qi Chuan is currently a Quasi-Great True Monarch.

In the future, there’s considerable possibility he could enter the Realm of the Great True Monarch.

Once Qi Chuan reaches Great True Monarch, he might find a way to unlock the secrets of this Spirit Seed.

"That might not be certain..."

Qi Chuan shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Cyan Bamboo hasn’t had this Spirit Seed for long, right? Why don’t we both research it together, and if by chance it’s successfully planted, the Spirit Seed will still belong to Fellow Daoist Cyan Bamboo."

"That’s fine."

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Cyan Bamboo didn’t mind and nodded.

He had no expectation of easily uncovering anything.

So over the next several days, Qi Chuan stayed within the Cyan Bamboo Sect.

Together with True Monarch Cyan Bamboo, they planted the cyan lotus seed in High Tier Spiritual Soil.

Afterward, they used various methods in an attempt to activate this Spirit Seed.

However, the final result was somewhat disappointing for both of them.

No matter what method they used, the cyan lotus Spirit Seed remained like a lifeless object, showing no signs of being successfully planted.

Eventually, Qi Chuan and True Monarch Cyan Bamboo even went to extremes.

Trying all kinds of elemental forces like gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, ice, poison... to stimulate the Spirit Seed, hoping it would exhibit some different reaction or change.

The result was still futile.

Even Qi Chuan’s Sea Level Sword couldn’t cleave the Spirit Seed open.

It was here that Qi Chuan finally confirmed the true extraordinariness of the Spirit Seed.

It must at least be of Divinity Transformation Level!

Otherwise, how could such a phenomenon occur?

True Monarch Cyan Bamboo, seeing the situation, decided to give up on the Spirit Seed, suggesting Qi Chuan take it away.

Qi Chuan did not refuse.

Because reaching this point, relying solely on True Monarch Cyan Bamboo was already insufficient to unravel the Spirit Seed.

After taking the Spirit Seed, Qi Chuan’s matters here were finished, so he bid farewell to True Monarch Cyan Bamboo, stating that henceforth, the Cyan Bamboo Sect and Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect could freely exchange goods.
