"Holy crap!
I almost forgot the original purpose of my coming here.
Did I get my own memories mixed up from seeing too many memories at once?
Yang Hong slapped his forehead and flew back to the edge of the deep pit he had left earlier.
There, a moonflower, snow-white all over and emitting a faint spiritual light, resembling a jade sculpture, stood before him.
This was the Netherworld Moonflower, Yang Hong's initial target.
"Fortunately, I remembered. Otherwise, I don't know which bastard would have benefited.
Seeing the Netherworld Moonflower already radiating spiritual light, Yang Hong felt a surge of relief.
Judging by the intensity of the spiritual light, the Netherworld Moonflower would be fully mature in less than three days.
Yang Hong walked over, gently placed his right hand on the vine of the Netherworld Moonflower, and silently chanted: Infuse.
Instantly...
"Ding~ You have infused the ninth-grade Netherworld Moonflower with 1800 days of cultivation, gaining a tenfold cultivation return, resulting in 18,000,000 days of cultivation."
"Ding~ Cultivating the 'Top-tier Breathing Technique' for 18,000,000 days, the Top-tier Breathing Technique has advanced to layer 423."
"Ding~ Your cultivation has increased. Your cultivation has reached Nascent Soul stage, 149,315 years."
"Ding~ The ninth-grade spiritual plant, Netherworld Moonflower, has accumulated enough energy and begun to evolve...
Netherworld Moonflower has evolved into a first-grade immortal blossom: Netherworld Immortal Moon."
"Holy crap~ Another huge drop!
"As expected, after surviving a great calamity, fortune follows!"
Hearing the four consecutive system notifications, Yang Hong was startled.
The advancement of the Top-tier Breathing Technique was normal, although the increase was quite substantial.
However, the upper limit of the Nascent Soul stage cultivation had been updated again, which surprised Yang Hong a bit.
The most unexpected thing was the Netherworld Moonflower evolving into the Netherworld Immortal Moon.
This had opened up a new spiritual plant grade – immortal blossom.
"The effect of this Netherworld Immortal Moon should be even more powerful than the Netherworld Moonflower, right?"
"I must pluck it quickly."
Yang Hong took out a delicate cyan jade pair of scissors and a spirit stone box carved from a large piece of top-grade spirit stone.
He placed the spirit stone box beneath the Netherworld Immortal Moon and gently cut the stem of the immortal blossom with the cyan jade scissors.
The exquisite white jade immortal moonflower fell into the spirit stone box.
Yang Hong quickly closed the box, affixed four fourth-grade sealing talismans, and then placed it into a storage ring for spirit stones, positioning the spirit stone box amidst the other spirit stones.
"Phew~ Thankfully, thankfully, this Netherworld Immortal Moon didn't ascend and fly away!"
Only then did Yang Hong exhale the breath he had been holding.
According to records from the Taiyuan Continent, immortal grasses and immortal trees of the immortal blossom grade were not only extremely difficult to grow and survive but also, upon maturity, would directly ascend and fly away.
Similar to how human and demonic cultivators ascended to immortality.
This time, Yang Hong was fast enough to harvest the Netherworld Immortal Moon.
"Crack~"
Just as Yang Hong was congratulating himself, a crisp sound caught his attention.
He looked up to see the Netherworld Immortal Moon emitting a dazzling white light all over.
"It can still ascend like this?"
Yang Hong exclaimed in surprise.
Within the dazzling white light, the Netherworld Immortal Moon's plant rapidly disintegrated, transforming into specks of light that slowly dissipated.
The demonic energy around Yang Hong was rapidly purified, and as the demonic energy vanished, normal spiritual energy of the human world quickly emerged.
"Is this a seed?"
Suddenly, Yang Hong noticed several particles resembling sunflower seeds amidst the specks of light. With a jolt, he reached out with both hands.
"Bang! Swoosh~"
As Yang Hong's hand touched the white light, it exploded outwards, scattering countless specks of light into the surrounding space.
The sunflower-seed-like specks of light then shot towards the sky at a speed imperceptible even to Yang Hong's divine sense.
"Don't run!"
Yang Hong, enduring the pain of the white light burning his eyes, swiftly lunged for the sunflower-seed specks of light.
"Sigh~"
Despite Yang Hong's great speed, he failed to grasp even a single speck.
"No wonder they say it's easy to find immortal blossoms in the human world, but harvesting them is the hardest part."
Looking at the dissipated and vanished specks of light, Yang Hong gave a wry smile.
He then chuckled and patted the storage ring on his hand.
"Fortunately, this trip wasn't in vain.
I managed to obtain an immortal blossom of the Netherworld Immortal Moon, a treasure that can bring the dead back to life."
"This is equivalent to having an extra life."
"Right, this Demon Sealing Secret Realm still has several ninth-grade spirit herbs. I need to act quickly, or they'll be gone."
With this thought, Yang Hong quickly but roughly dug six seventh-grade spirit herbs from the area into his scale space and hastily mounted his Kui Shui Fen Guang Sword, soaring into the sky.
In mid-air, he activated the small iron shield, opened a map, and took out the jade slip given to him by Feng Ru Hua, comparing it with the map. He memorized the locations of all the ninth-grade spiritual plants and began to charge headlong.
In the Demon Sealing Secret Realm, the most dangerous place wasn't the ground but the air.
The air was filled with a large number of vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts, whose cultivation levels were unpredictable and who were extremely difficult to detect.
Many cultivators flying in the air, if not careful, would be ambushed,
and then their souls would be devoured.
Only demonic beasts like the Phoenix race, possessing extremely yang flames, or those with lightning attributes, could potentially avoid ambushes from vengeful spirits.
Yang Hong, with his recently reinforced Four Spirits Dao Palace, was not afraid of ambushes by vengeful spirits, thus daring to charge recklessly.
"Holy crap, where did this expert come from, daring to fly in the air, and even sword-flying!"
"Heh heh~~ That guy is just an idiot seeking death.
Just watch, he'll soon be devoured by a vengeful spirit...
Holy crap!"
"Hiss~ This guy is so brave, he just crashed straight through a vengeful spirit!"
"Terrifying, truly terrifying."
Amidst the exclamations of various demons, Yang Hong charged forward, colliding directly with vengeful spirits.
All vengeful spirits below sixth-tier were instantly killed by his impact,
their souls scattered.
Even sixth-tier vengeful spirits took a considerable time to recover.
If any demons witnessed the crushed vengeful spirits, the revealed spirits would quickly be eliminated by those demons.
Yang Hong provided benefits to many demons along the way and soon arrived at the location of the first ninth-grade spiritual plant.
"I'm still a step too late. As expected, some bastard benefited.
Complaining, Yang Hong didn't dare to linger and again sped away on his sword.
He soon arrived at another location.
"The Corpse Head Wu is still here, that's good!"
Amidst the enraged roars of zombies, Yang Hong, despite his protective clothing being torn to shreds,
directly used his flying sword to dig up the Corpse Head Wu by the roots.
His scale space could temporarily store living creatures, and he planned to gather all the ninth-grade spiritual plants at once before infusing them one by one.
"Who's the little thief? The Withered Vine Flower is mine."
Amidst the barrage of feathers from a group of seventh-tier Golden Winged Great Pengs, Yang Hong once again had his protective clothing destroyed, and several golden feathers were stuck in his body.
Having learned his lesson, Yang Hong wore ten layers of protective clothing and three hats.
"Bastard! My Golden Thunder Bamboo! Die!"
Under the lightning strikes of a group of dragons, Yang Hong's hair stood on end, looking like a punk rocker.
"Roar roar~~"
On the head of an eighth-tier Bone Demon, Yang Hong plucked a ninth-grade Qing Mao Grass.
Within two days, Yang Hong had charged forward like a madman, visiting 27 ninth-grade spiritual plant growth points,
and ultimately snatching 15 ninth-grade spiritual plants.
The price paid was hundreds of sets of protective clothing, magical artifacts,
and spitting up a few mouthfuls of blood.
At this moment, all the demons in the entire Demon Sealing Secret Realm were searching for Yang Hong, including Feng Ru Hua!
This was because Yang Hong had also attacked the Phoenix race twice.
All demons knew that a spiritual monkey demon named Sun Wukong had stolen all the ninth-grade spiritual plants.
Anyone who could capture this monkey would become immensely wealthy."
