Turns out I'm a Great Cultivator
Chapter 621: The Rainbow Butterfly Clan, the Legend of the Spirit of Remembrance
Jiang Liu accepted the beautiful girl's offer and finished off the wine that was still in his glass at once, which he immediately filled. The same thing happened three times in a row when the beautiful girl was holding a wine bottle with no intention of leaving.
“You're not afraid of me?” jiang Liu asked with a smile.
“Should I?” replied the beautiful girl with another question and also a smile on her face.
“Yes, the Cliffs of Palm Sword will definitely come for me for killing the Eighth Sword Apprentice. Don't you see how the others here keep their distance from me? ” Jiang Liu replied calmly.
The beautiful girl made a mocking voice and said, “The cliffs of Palm Sword are just a big bully! I must thank you for killing them.”
“It looks like you also have a grudge.” There was an understanding in Jiang Liu's eyes.
“Five Top-tier Apprentice Swords joined together and defeated high-level members of the Heavenly Realm, indeed very commendable. But it just so happens that one of the Heavenly Realms is my grandfather.” Tears began to flow down his face as his shoulders trembled slightly.
Jiang Liu was stunned for a moment. Unlike him who was so easily swayed by the emotions of others because there was only one thing in his heart. Despite this, the fact that the beautiful girl was experiencing the same thing as the one she had experienced made her heart touched.
He had also lost his grandfather, so he was well aware of the indescribable feeling of helplessness.
“The Cliffs of Palm Sword will bring their own destruction with all the evil things they have done. I highly recommend that you stay away from me. They may be on their way to me right now.” With that, Jiang Lu stood up, preparing to leave.
However, what he said next stopped him from leaving.
“Do not worry about them. They won't be coming for you for some time.”
“Hah? How can you be so sure of that?” jiang Liu asked curiously.
“Because they're looking for my hometown.” Her beautiful face became bitter. “The Cliff of Palm Sword only arranged for the Eighth Sword Apprentice to be in this area. The rest are looking for my hometown in Chaos.”
“Your hometown?” jiang Liu asked with a slight frown. “Why are they looking for your hometown?”
“Have you heard about Memorial Spirit?”
Jiang Liu nodded. “Of course.”
Memorial Spirit is the honorary term for the heavenly Plant. In Chaos, plants are also classified as living things. For example, the Spiritual Root is one of the heavenly Plants. The higher the Spiritual Root level, the more difficult it is to undergo spiritual transformation. Once spiritually transformed, the benefits of consuming them become limitless.
Flat Peaches, Yellow Pears, and Eldritch Ginseng Fruits never undergo spiritual transformation. However, that does not mean that there has never been a spiritually transformed Spiritual Root in Endless Chaos. It can be said that this kind of miracle only happens once in a blue moon.
Spiritual Roots that have been spiritually altered bear fruit with miraculous powers. The fruit will offer itself to those of their choice. No matter how powerful a person was, if they did not have the approval of the Spiritual Root, they would not be able to eat their fruit.
Many strong people have been nurtured in this condition and become dependent on the consumption of fruits. Thus, they called the Fruit-producing Spiritual Root the honorific term, Memorial Spirit.
“Did you say that there is a Memorial Spirit in your hometown?” asked Jiang Liu. There was a slight change in his expression. He was thinking about the mission given to him by the expert and became very excited.
That expert was very interested in the unique Spiritual Plant. Everyone in the Heavenly Palace was always looking for plants that were of interest to him. It was only natural that Jiang Liu wanted to do the same for him.
He chided it as his luck that he could unexpectedly find information about the whereabouts of the Spirit Memorial. However, he needed to find out about the Memorial Spirit species to ascertain if experts liked it.
“Yes. My clan, the Rainbow Butterflies, has been living with the Spirit Memorial in the farthest corner of the universe. We had lived peacefully until we were attacked by the people from the Cliffs of Palm Sword not long ago.
“We have no choice but to leave the planet and hide. My grandfather was killed when he tried to give us time. ”
The reason he came here was to search for some intel and to take revenge by creating trouble for the Cliffs of Palm Sword. Therefore, he was very happy to have met Jiang Liu.
“Are you willing to take me to your hiding place?” asked Jiang Liu.
The pretty girl's eyes shone brightly at the question. “You are willing to help us?”
“Uh ..” Jiang Liu pressed his lips. “I will protect you and your clan from the Cliffs of Palm Sword.”
He intended to check out the Spirit Memorial and if possible, bring it back for his experts. However, he had the common sense not to say this out loud to the beautiful girl so he told her half the truth.
“I know that! From the moment I looked at you, I knew you were one of the good ones,” said the beautiful girl, grinning widely. His innocence showed that he had actually lived peacefully until now.
“By the way, my name is He'. What's your name?” ask Him'.
Note: (She' is the name of the person yes, klo He is not the name of the person. I love quotes so do not be confused)
“Jiang Liu.”
“OK, please, follow me, Mr. Jiang.” With that, he opened a pair of transparent butterfly-like wings from his back and flew up into the sky with a gentle flap of his wings. His swift departure left a trail of smoke in the air.
Jiang Liu followed him from behind, left the Area of the Gods, and flew straight to Chaos.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Chaos with many stars, a group of men with flying swords came here looking for something. At the forefront of the group were three men with thin faces and cold eyes. They all emitted a murderous aura.
They were none other than the three Great Sword Apprentices—Three, Sixth, and Seventh.
On the palm of the Third Sword Apprentice was a floating green ginseng. The strange thing about ginseng is that it has a pair of eyes and will sniff the air from time to time. One would even say that it had an unpleasant look.
Suddenly, the three Great Sword Interns trembled at the same time, their eyes flashing and they could not control their auras to be released.
“Eight is dead,” said someone in a low voice.
“The killer must be very strong to be able to kill Eighth. Things become more interesting.”
“Let's get things done quickly here. He's a dead man walking. It should be easy to find it with the sword box it has.”
Suddenly, the ginseng said something in an excited voice, “We are getting closer to Memorial Spirit. It is located in the stars there!”
After hearing that, they increased their speed and headed straight for the stars. In the star, there was a giant flower. The petals of this flower are yellow, with a large disc in the center. The rhizomes are slender and upright and the green leaves are round eggs wide with pointed ends and serrated sides. Even though it was a flower, it was as tall as a tree.
It was the heavenly Sunflower!
However, the heavenly Sunflower had become moody and twisted. Draw sluggishness with withering signs. More than 30 people had gathered around the heavenly Sunflower. They were all very sad and anxious.
“Yes, Lord Memorial Spirit. I'm willing to give you everything I have.”
“Lord Memorial Spirit, our whole life is yours. We are willing to try anything.”
“Master Memorial, please, don't leave us.”
Just like Him, the people gathered there had a pair of transparent wings growing from their backs. Their job was to protect and take care of the heavenly Sunflower environment. They were once ordinary Rainbow Butterflies but had been spiritually transformed by the grace of the Warning Spirit and thus, could take on human form to continue their spiritual cultivation.
The heavenly Sunflower and the Rainbow Butterfly Clan had been living together carefully for countless years. They never thought there would be a day when they would have to part.
The Warning Spirit began to swing its rhizome and a voice floated from its direction. “I was born in Chaos and can only be nurtured by his spiritual items. Not to mention, I have been tainted by The Unknown during ancient times. This is the end of my journey but don't be sad. It was already written in the stars.”
“Item Spiritual Chaos?” Desperation spread to everyone's faces because they didn't know where to get those things.
“That's all because we're so useless. Lord Memorial Saint will not end up like this if he does not try to protect us,” said someone with guilt.
Memorial Spirit was not in the best condition to begin with when he had to move everyone to safety. The act itself had caused great damage to his life force, hastening his death.
“Lord Memorial Spirit, is there any other way?” others say, not giving up.
“Haha, no!” said a voice suddenly coldly. “This sunflower only needs to consume another Memorial Spirit to extend its lifespan by another ten thousand years!”
The Rainbow Butterfly Clan was shocked and all turned their heads towards the direction of the voice. Their expressions became grim as they discovered the identity of that cold voice.
“Sial, they're from the Cliffs of Palm Sword. How did they find us here?”
“I remember them. They took grandfather's life! I'll avenge him!”
“What is that thing in his hand? It looks like Memorial Spirit too. ”
“That's you, Old Ginseng!” The heavenly Sunflower raised its flower to look at the ghost ginseng. His voice is full of anger. “Did you show them the way?”
“That's right,” said Old Ginseng boldly.
“Why?”
“Do you need to ask? That was to extend my life of course!” old Ginseng Without further ado. “Before the Year of Eternal, most of the Memorial Spirit was destroyed during the Ancient Cataclysm. Not only that, someone from Eldritch had unleashed The Unknown to suppress the growth of Chaos and to prevent the birth of more Memorial Spirits. Even though we survived, we were still tainted by The Unknown which meant death was inevitable for us.
“There are only ten thousand years left in my lifespan, so I need to eat you to make sure I can live for another ten thousand years! Since you are on the verge of death, why don't you become friends and grant this request?”
“I never thought I would live to see the day when we Memorial Spirits eat each other,” said the heavenly Sunflower sadly.
Back then, the Nine Elite Beings had the help of Memorial Spirit for their meteoric rise which explained why the Eldritches wanted to exterminate them. So, begin the mass destruction of all the Spirit Memorial to prevent them from cultivating more Elite Beings.
In fact, Eldritch was so effective that Chaos growth was greatly suppressed and there had never been an Elite Being since then.
“They won't get away this time!” said one of the Sword Interns coldly and emotionlessly. “It's time to cut off the chatter and kill all living things here!” He then pointed his finger and a thousand mile sword light pierced through the sky, threatening to wipe out everything that was there.
“This fight to the death!” shouted the Rainbow Butterfly Clan. Their faces became red with the release of their strength and mana.
“Oh, you weak and weak little butterfly,” said the Third Sword Apprentice with a cold smile as she raised her long sword at the same time. The sword flashed brilliantly, like many stars in the sky, and its Sword Qi pulsed tremendously. “Split Ceiling, Destroyed Earth!”
The explosion!
The sword Qi was ferocious and passed through the area like a tornado, connecting everything in its path and annihilating everything. It surrounded the Rainbow Butterfly Clan as it cut their flesh and dyed the sky with their blood.
Although there were some high-level members of the Heavenly Realm in the clan, they could only reach the realm through the help of the heavenly Sunflower. They did not have powerful spells and only had average Insights. Not to mention, they had never had actual combat experience. Needless to say, they would not last long under the Cliff Palm Sword attack with their meager mana.
This was also the reason why the five Great Sword Apprentices could easily take out high-level members from the Heavenly Realm earlier.
“How dare you!” Supernatural power surged within the heavenly Sunflower and a vine suddenly emerged from the ground. It turned into a shadow whip powered by the Power of Laws. He wasted no time using the whip on Sword Interns. The attack was filled with Heavenly Power, freezing heaven and earth.
“Shouldn't you save your energy, Heavenly Sunflower?” asked the Old Ginseng with a cold smile. His ghost image became larger and his roots also turned into whips, which he used to block the attacks of the heavenly Sunflower. Then, he stretched out his countless fine roots towards the heavenly Sunflower, making it seem like a thousand hands grabbed him.
The heavenly Sunflower began to shine brightly and a golden beam of light that pointed straight at the Old Ginseng shot out from the disc in the middle. They become locked in a dead end.
“He was in his dying last breath. Quick, cut the roots!” old Ginseng said to the Cliffs of Palm Sword.
“Don't think of it!”
“No harm will come to our Spirit Memorial as long as we are alive!”
The Rainbow Butterfly Clan let out a loud roar and activated a protective barrier around the heavenly Sunflower.
“Shut! You can all die with him!” The three Sword Interns laughed coldly as their swords began to attack the protective dome which then collapsed like a balloon erupting and made everyone fly. They became plagued with despair and their vitality began to wane.
“It's over!” The Third Sword Apprentice raised his sword, sending out a red sword light that cut through the rhizome of the heavenly Sunflower, leaving a deep scar.
The heavenly Sunflower Leaves trembled violently and a transparent liquid dripped from his wound. It was the blood of the Spirit of Warning!
“No, Memorial Spirit!”
“Protect Memorial Spirit!”
“Great Wisdom! I'm willing to give my life in exchange for the life of Memorial Spirit!”
The Rainbow Butterfly Clan rushed towards the Spirit Memorial without considering their own lives. Their breaths become tattered and they cannot remain in their human form. One by one, they all returned into the shape of a butterfly.
The heavenly Sunflower Leaves began to sway again and******length sounded from it.
“Not useful, each one of them. Their weakness makes me laugh!” said the Third Sword Apprentice condescendingly while shaking his head. Once again, he unsheathed his sword to attack the rhizome of the heavenly Sunflower.
