Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 1692 (Raw 1704): White Jasmine Flower

Beyond the safe zone around the mysterious doors, the environment immediately changed drastically.

A dense aura of desolate antiquity, as well as a weak but ever-present trace of fiendish aura, filled the place.

That fiendish aura seemed ordinary, but if one breathed it in for a long time, it could make one irritable, bloodthirsty, and murderous.

It was not known where that Divine Vein powerhouse had found such a place to use as his final resting place.

Anyone could find out about the Fiendish Demon Battlefield’s information. However, how much they learned would depend on the position they held in their sects.

The jade strip that Ling Yu managed to obtain was definitely more detailed than what Yang Qing could discover by asking around.

For example, the Buddha Seeking Platform. Yang Qing only knew its rough position, but Xiao Chen knew its exact location.

Xiao Chen took out the jade strip and sent in his Spiritual Sense. Then, a faint three-dimensional map appeared in his vision.

After comparing the three-dimensional map and the real Fiendish Demon Battlefield, Xiao Chen synced the two.

After he thought the words “Buddha Seeking Platform,” a flashing red dot appeared in a distant location on the three-dimensional map, looking very clear.

The special map that the seniors of the Purple Flame Sect had drawn and compiled over time was stored in the jade strip.

Only a Rank 4 sect could make such a jade strip, and only their core disciples could obtain it.

Of course, this map was not all-inclusive. Most of the areas appeared black—the unexplored regions.

“Follow me.”

After verifying the direction, Xiao Chen led Yang Qing forward at full speed.

Along the way, the two occasionally saw the elite disciples of other sects. They casually exchanged glances before carefully leaving.

This was the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, where there were no rules. One had to be wary of Fiendish Demons as well as the disciples of other sects.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Suddenly, the commotion of an intense fight came from a small hill not far away.

Xiao Chen opened his Heavenly Eye and immediately saw the situation clearly. It turned out that a few disciples had discovered a stalk of grass for raising one’s physique.

As these people fought with the ferocious beast guarding the natural treasure, elite disciples of various sects started to join the fight.

Xiao Chen casually glanced at this before ignoring it.

Xiao Chen had the Life Juice Source and did not care about this stalk of grass. As for Yang Qing, she only glanced at it indifferently before ignoring it as well.

So, the two continued on their way.

Both of them quickened their pace. However, everyone suffered some form of restriction in the Fiendish Demon Battlefield, unable to bring out their usual maximum speed.

After most of the day passed, a towering pavilion with countless Dao disks surrounding it as it soared into the clouds appeared in the two’s vision.

“The Ten Thousand Weapon Pavilion!” Yang Qing exclaimed, a hint of fervor flashing in her eyes. When seeing those countless beautiful Dao disks, who would not be tempted?

When one grasped a Dao Tool, one would be able to sense the presence of the Dao in advance. A Dao Tool would not only increase one’s strength rapidly but also provide boundless aid to one’s comprehension. Having a Dao Tool was any disciple’s dream.

More importantly, the Dao Tools that could catch the attention of a Divine Vein powerhouse would definitely be Superior Grade or even Peak Grade.

It was even possible for a Dao Tool to contain two or three different Dao nourishing each other.

It was rumored that eight hundred years ago, the Divine Firmament Sect had a disciple who obtained a Dao Tool with two Dao in it. Even now, it was kept as a supreme treasure, placed in the Divine Firmament Sect’s Divine Weapon Pavilion and rarely taken out.

As for that disciple who obtained the Dao Tool, he later advanced to the Cloud Sea Realm at a young age, having gained many fortuitous encounters.

In the past ten thousand years, there were many such legends and rumors. This attracted an endless stream of people to the Ten Thousand Weapon Pavilion.

Now was no different. No less than one hundred people passed by the two, rushing towards the Ten Thousand Weapon Pavilion.

“Let’s go,” Xiao Chen urged indifferently.

Confused, Yang Qing asked, “You have no desire to go to the Ten Thousand Weapon Pavilion?”

“Naturally, I do. However, not now. I am just waiting. Once I go in there, I definitely must take out a Dao Tool.” Xiao Chen spoke in a relaxed fashion, as though he was just stating facts.

Yang Qing smiled and said, “Take out a Dao Tool? That’s too difficult. Not to mention the competition from the many peak true inheritors, even without competition, it is not easy to subdue a Dao Tool with the Dao Might suppression in the Ten Thousand Weapon Pavilion.”

Xiao Chen merely smiled and did not argue. Four hours later, a mountain range appeared before the two.

According to the map in the jade strip, the Buddha Seeking Platform was at the summit.

This was the only place in the Fiendish Demon Battlefield that had anything to do with Buddhism. The Buddha Seeking Platform produced all sorts of things that had an affinity with Buddhism. For example, the famous five trees and six flowers of Buddhism grew here. These were all rare plants that were very hard to find outside.

These things were incredibly precious, providing enormous benefit, whether one was a Buddhist monk or cultivated the Martial Dao.

However, it was not easy to ascend.

A jungle blanketed the mountainsides, and there were many hidden ferocious beasts all over the place. The only exception was the road leading to the summit.

Left without a choice, the two could only walk up that small mountain path.

The mountain path had many people walking on it. Their eyes were opened wide, staring intently into the depths of the jungle.

Xiao Chen had the Heavenly Eye. He used it to sweep through the place and easily saw everything in the mountainsides, every tree and grass.

Suddenly, the Buddhist ?arīra Pearls on his wrist turned warm.

He understood that this was the Buddhist ?arīra Pearls resonating with a rare plant of Buddhism.

Their Buddhist natures were in harmony, forming a connection between them.

“Wait for me for a moment.” After saying that, Xiao Chen followed his instinct and entered the jungle.

That feeling intensified, and the Buddhist ?arīra Pearls shone with a faint Buddhist light. Xiao Chen swept his gaze across and fixed it on a white flower.

This flower had five petals, and it bloomed elegantly. Each petal also had a simple and elegant patch of yellow on it. The contrast between white and yellow looked exceptionally refreshing.

“The White Jasmine Flower! One of the six flowers of Buddhism’s five trees and six flowers!” action

Xiao Chen showed joy on his face. This flower grew on a tree and could be consumed directly. Of course, it exhibited its greatest effect when infused in tea or refined into a Medicinal Pill.

The White Jasmine Flower tasted simple, elegant, and refreshing. After consuming it, one’s cultivation would increase.

One flower petal equaled ten years of cultivation. Of course, there would be diminishing returns.

However, even after it no longer increased one’s cultivation, it would still solidify one’s cultivation and make one’s Veritable Essence Energy denser. These were wondrous effects for cultivators.

This flower was even more useful for the people of the Buddhist sects. It could not only increase their cultivation but also provide enlightenment on Buddhist principles, improve their affinity with Buddhism, and enhance their wisdom.

Any one of the five trees and six flowers was innately connected to Buddhism and had the effect of strengthening one’s wisdom.

Xiao Chen gently leaped out and was about to pluck this White Jasmine Flower when he sensed something wrong.

He casually swept his gaze through the place and saw many pairs of scarlet eyes glaring at him from the darkness of the jungle’s depths.

Dodge!

After Xiao Chen picked the flower, he immediately evaded, flying between the trees.

“Chi! Chi!”

Sharp shrieks came from the depths. Four or five small Bloodthirsty Macaques screeched as they gave chase.

These Bloodthirsty Macaques moved at astonishing speeds. Furthermore, since they were accustomed to the Fiendish Demon Battlefield’s environment, they were catching up with Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen did not attack lest he startle some other ferocious beasts. He executed the new Fish Dragon Art, covering his body with a layer of purple flames.

Moving like a phantom, he crashed through several large trees and charged out of the jungle, reappearing on that mountain path.

The Bloodthirsty Macaques that had been chasing him stopped immediately. They stood on a tree branch and howled endlessly at him.

Xiao Chen had noticed much earlier that the mountain path contained lingering Buddhist Might and was much safer than the jungle.

There were believers in Buddhism bowing every three steps and kneeling every nine steps on the path, sincerely worshiping Buddha.

Indeed, as soon as Xiao Chen reached the mountain path, those Bloodthirsty Macaques gave up their pursuit.

Just one Bloodthirsty Macaque was as strong as a late-stage Minor Primal Core cultivator. If one got surrounded by Bloodthirsty Macaques in the jungle, it would be somewhat problematic.

“A White Jasmine Flower!”

Xiao Chen’s sudden appearance and the fragrance of the White Jasmine Flower, which was filled with a Buddhist nature, in his hand immediately attracted the attention of many people on the mountain path.

“Damn! This fellow actually managed to escape the pursuit of the Bloodthirsty Macaques unscathed.”

“He is really lucky. He just arrived, and he managed to find a White Jasmine Flower.”

Upon noticing that Xiao Chen was not injured at all, the people who wanted to target him immediately withdrew.

Xiao Chen’s emerging from the jungle unharmed was definitely not as simple as luck.

Of course, more importantly...Xiao Chen directly plucked out three petals of the White Jasmine Flower and carefreely ate them, wasting such a natural resource.

“It tastes pretty good. You should give it a try.”

Amid envious gazes, Xiao Chen gave the remaining two petals to the somewhat stunned Yang Qing.

Xiao Chen ate it just like that...one of Buddhism’s five trees and six flowers. Although it could be directly consumed, it was a precious plant; no one would do so for such a treasure, furthermore, in so carefree a manner.
