Chapter 52 - Rainbow Skirt Grass, One Hundred and Eighty Thousand Years of Longevity

This time, Li Feiyu didn't go to call Han Li. In fact, if it weren't for the rule that the owner of a spiritual land would have their land reclaimed if they didn't accept challenges, Li Feiyu wouldn't have bothered to participate.

This time, after participating, he found that someone really challenged him. It was a Cultivator who had just Advanced from Middle Stage Foundation Establishment to Late Foundation Establishment stage, and he didn't know who incited him to challenge Li Feiyu.

Li Feiyu had easily defeated Gu Mofeng, who was at the Late Foundation Establishment stage, ten years ago. Now, ten years later, his strength was even greater, so that person must have been out of his mind to do so.

To leave a deep impression on everyone, Li Feiyu remained motionless throughout the entire fight, only allowing Crimson Crow to act.

Crimson Crow was getting closer to becoming a Level 4 Demon Beast, and it was estimated that it would successfully advance in less than two years.

The advantage of rapid growth in the Early Stage had passed, and Crimson Crow's growth had now slowed down, but under Li Feiyu's full cultivation, it was still several times faster than wild Spirit Beasts.

The newly Advanced Late Foundation Establishment stage Cultivator faced the powerful Crimson Crow, and after only a dozen Moves, he was seriously injured by Crimson Crow's flames, and it looked like he wouldn't recover for one or two months.

The rest of those who still had intentions immediately extinguished them. Who would dare to challenge this fierce god?

If the Spirit Beast was so powerful, wouldn't its master be even more so?

What's more, the Spiritual Land Competition did not prohibit Spirit Beasts from fighting alongside their masters.

After this Spiritual Land Competition, Li Feiyu, carrying a good amount of thousand-year-old earth milk and spring water from the spiritual eye, along with the planted Spiritual Plants, covered the cave with boulders and vines, and then headed to the Outer Star Sea.

He didn't know how far he had flown, but Li Feiyu's heart stirred. Looking at the sea below, he calmly said, "Cultivation knows no years. From today on, I will Cultivate here. I will not return until I form a Core!"

Li Feiyu descended onto an unnamed island below, where he opened an Immortal Cave and made his home.

He devoted himself to Cultivating the Azure Wood Green Thunder Art. With over twenty various thousand-year-old Spiritual Plants, he condensed a large amount of Ethwood essence, and his Cultivation speed was incredible.

In just two years, he had Cultivated this top-tier wood-element Cultivation Technique to Major Achievement and refined the Yi Wood Azure Lightning, though only to Minor Achievement.

If he wanted to reach Major Achievement, it was also possible; he could quickly achieve it by consuming a few ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Plants.

However, Li Feiyu did not continue, instead turning to Cultivate the Taiyin Mysterious Water Formula.

Li Feiyu's water-element Spiritual Root Aptitude was good, and with a bottle of Profound Yin Spiritual Liquid, his Cultivation speed was not slow either.

The Taiyin Mysterious Water Formula is an extremely cold Cultivation Technique. When Cultivating, cold Qi permeates, and the Taiyin Dharma Power Cultivated has a freezing effect.

And the Taiyin Xuan Shui Divine Ability condensed, that Profound Water has the effect of freezing the Divine Soul.

Li Feiyu compared the two, and this Taiyin Xuan Shui Divine Ability was stronger than the Blazing Sun True Flame, after all, this was the Divine Ability of a top-tier Core Formation stage Cultivation Technique.

The Sun True Scripture is a detailed Legacy, with corresponding Divine Abilities for each Realm. The Core Formation chapter also has corresponding flame Divine Abilities, escape Divine Abilities, Body Refining Divine Abilities, and so on.

Because there were no corresponding Heaven And Earth Treasures for Cultivating Taiyin Xuan Shui, Li Feiyu's progress was slow.

Days passed one by one. Every once in a while, he would hasten the growth of a rainbow skirt grass, also known as a demon-luring grass, to attract nearby Demon Beasts to the island.

The rainbow skirt grass was colorful and extremely beautiful, hence its name, nishang.

It naturally had thirteen cylindrical leaves, but initially, all the leaves were curled up. Every hundred years, they would gradually unfold, and the unfolding process would last for six to seven days.

During this period, the rainbow skirt grass would emit a strange scent. This scent was useless to Cultivators, but for most Demon Beasts in the sea, it was incredibly alluring.

Any Demon Beast within a certain range that smelled it would rush over and vie to swallow it.

The older the rainbow skirt grass, the greater its attraction to Advanced Demon Beasts.

In addition, rainbow skirt grass had another characteristic: once planted, it could not be pulled up before a hundred years, otherwise, it would lose its magical ability to stretch its leaves and emit a strange scent.

This characteristic caused the Cultivators who were once tempted by it in the Chaotic Star Sea to abandon it.

No other reason, it was too time-consuming!

Cultivation itself is a struggle for time against the heavens. A hundred years of time made Cultivators feel long, and below High Grade Cultivators, who could afford to wait?

And once they reached High Grade, what they wanted to attract were transformed Great Demon Beasts above Level 8, which would require at least a thousand-year-old rainbow skirt grass.

Therefore, the rainbow skirt grass's current status was quite awkward, mostly sold for luring low-level Demon Beasts.

However, Li Feiyu and Han Li were exceptions.

One drop of Li Feiyu's ten-year longevity liquid could instantly allow him to pass a hundred years of time, and the Spiritual Liquid condensed by Han Li's Palm heaven bottle could also greatly accelerate its growth, like time acceleration.

Li Feiyu never cultivated rainbow skirt grass for more than four hundred years, as any longer might attract Demon Beasts above Level 5.

And to prevent the nearby Demon Beasts from being completely cleared out after luring and killing them, he would only hasten their growth again after a period of time.

With the Thunder Dharma Divine Ability, Li Feiyu had a natural advantage against most Demon Beasts in the sea.

Coupled with the pre-arranged large formation for encirclement, some special vine-like plant seeds were pre-buried in the formation. Once a large number of Demon Beasts entered, Li Feiyu would hasten their growth, binding the Demon Beasts.

Only Demon Beasts with exceptionally strong Physical Body strength or those with Moves that countered vines could instantly tear through the vines.

But if their strength was insufficient, they would still not escape death.

Time flew by, eight years passed, and wave after wave of Demon Beasts died on the island.

Li Feiyu's Lifespan had accumulated to an unimaginable degree; at least for a short time, he didn't have to worry about Lifespan.

[Spiritual Root: Gold-Earth Pseudo Spiritual Root, High Grade Fire, Water, Wood Spiritual Root]

[Innate Lifespan: One hundred twenty-six years]

[Human Lifespan: One hundred eight thousand sixty-five years]

With so much Lifespan, Li Feiyu improved the food for his Spirit Beasts, from an occasional drop of daily longevity liquid to a daily drop, and now, ten drops of daily longevity liquid.

Since improving their diet, their growth rate was like they had been injected with chicken blood, as if time was also accelerating for them.

But it wasn't as obvious as with Spiritual Plants.

Currently, the Fire Crow is at the peak of Level 4, with as many as ten golden feathers on its head.

The Soul Devouring Golden Cicada has entered Level 4, and the Golden-backed Demonic Mantis has entered Level 4.

Not only their Realm strength, but their size had also grown considerably.

After reaching Level 3, Li Feiyu began to let them participate in the activities of luring and killing Demon Beasts. The Soul Devouring Golden Cicada's attack was reckless; it had no special abilities, it just directly swallowed the Demon Beast's attack, then charged forward and bit.

In close combat, it was itself a Spirit Insect with strong defenses. Among those of the same level, it often had the upper hand. The Soul Devouring Golden Cicada could barely swallow one attack from a Level 5 Demon Beast, any more and it would be too much.

As for the Golden-backed Demonic Mantis, it clearly used its six mantis blades to hack at Demon Beasts like cutting vegetables. Level 4 Demon Beasts couldn't even withstand a few of its attacks.

It could unleash five or six attacks per second, multiplied by six, that power was considered top-tier among Level 4 Demon Beasts in terms of attack power; only those with abnormal defense could block it.

Li Feiyu felt that he, along with his Spirit Beasts, was enough to encircle and kill ordinary Level 5 or even Level 6 Demon Beasts.

And now, he had that plan.

Li Feiyu's water, wood, and fire Dharma Power were balanced, each system had already reached Major Achievement in Foundation Establishment, the False Core Realm, and his Dharma Power was far more abundant and profound than that of ordinary False Core powerhouses.

"It's a pity that the Divine Ability from the water-element Taiyin Mysterious Water Formula hasn't been refined, and the third layer of the Great Development Art is still far from complete."

Li Feiyu mumbled, then began to catalyze a five-hundred-year-old rainbow skirt grass.

As the longevity liquid dripped, the colorful rainbow skirt grass swayed its waist, and the fifth curled-up leaf gradually unfolded.
