Chapter 1618: Absorbing

ors accustomed to solo battles in power.Whoosh whoosh whoosh, heavy arrows rained down like a storm. These cultivators controlled their magical artifacts and forcefully deflected the heavy arrows. Mor...“To the Wood Spirit’s Heart How is that possible What should we do” When Xiang Qingcheng, Lu Wushuang, and Yu Ya arrived after hearing the news, their expressions changed simultaneously.

“Let me try first!” Xiang Kuang frowned, reaching out to press his hand against Yu Xia Qiao’s forehead. A surge of mana went in, attempting to suppress the terrifying wood-based spiritual energy within Yu Xia Qiao's body.

Just a moment later, beads of sweat sprung up on Xiang Kuang's forehead. In the blink of an eye, even his hand pressing against Yu Xiaoqiao's forehead began to turn wooden, losing its original luster.

“Everyone else, get out of the way! Eastern boy, help me! This girl’s wood-type spiritual energy is very strange, even I can’t subdue it.” Xiang Kuang shouted with a changed expression.

Lu Xia Tian waved his hand, and those who were still confused and hadn't reacted were directly pushed by Lu Xia Tian to a hundred zhang away. Lu Xia Tian reached out and grabbed, Xiang Kuang's hand seemed to stick to Yu Xiao Qiao's forehead like glue, it didn't move at all.

"Could you still control your arms" Lu XiaTian saw the wood-type spiritual power surging into Xiang Kuang's body, and his expression darkened.

This is a line of text.

"I can't control it, I guess the only way is to make a desperate sacrifice. If I forcibly suppress the Wood Element energy back into her body, I'm afraid I'll hurt her." Xiang Kuang gave a wry smile.

"I'll give it a try." Lu Xia Tian took a breath.

"Hold on, I've already paid the price. You don't have to follow my lead. It's just an arm; afterwards, you can make a Blood Circulation and Bone-Mending Pill for me." Xiang Kuang gritted his teeth, about to sever his own arm, when Lu Xiaotian had already acted without hesitation, pressing his hand on Yu Xia Qiao's heart.

“You little punk.” Xiang Kuang glared at Lu Xia Tian.

“Silence!” Lu Xiaoteng roared, a terrifying wave of wood-element spiritual power surging from his palm. To his astonishment, the process of his own petrification began to reverse.

"Xiao Qiao!" Through the vast and pure wood-based spiritual energy, Lu Xia Tian could feel that Xiao Qiao's weak primordial spirit was being blown about wildly under this storm of energy, like a fallen leaf in a gale.

“Uncle Hu, Uncle Hu, save me!” Xiao Qiao’s soul was like a drowning person who suddenly saw a life raft, and cried out in a brittle voice.

“Calm down, learn to control your body, and try to guide as much spiritual energy as possible. It might be very beneficial for you. I won't say more, I need to remove the excess wood-based spiritual energy from your body.” Pure, unparalleled wood-based spiritual energy madly drilled into his heart, and Lu Xia tian also felt his arms go numb in waves. However, unlike Xiang Kuang, his arms wouldn’t quickly become petrified. To avoid harming Yu Xiao Qiao, he even had to choose to sacrifice the car to save the general.

“That’s strange. Could it be that Xiao Qiao has a closer relationship with the Eastern youngster” Xiang Kuang retracted his hand, originally thinking he was going to lose an arm, but now he had saved it. “Eastern youngster, how are you feeling now Don't force yourself.”

“It’s fine, you all step back a bit and don’t disturb me.” Lu Xia Tian said, but in fact, it wasn't as relaxed as he said. This wood-type spiritual power had an extremely strong aggression. Even with his own body’s strength, he felt a tingling numbness. However, the 混元經 (Hun Yuan Jing) that Lu Xia Tian cultivated had a very strong tolerance for this kind of unowned spirit power. Xiang Kuang, who was originally a earth-type cultivator, naturally suffered a greater influence.

A surge of powerful wood-element spiritual energy entered his body, flowing through his meridians. Wherever it passed, it seemed to be turning his tendons and sinews into wood, but soon afterwards the power of his blood essence and his magical energy surged upward to counter it. Lu Xia Tian was still operating the Green Fruit Barrier, which directly absorbed this wave of wood-element spiritual energy. At that moment, his mind calmed down. It seemed that besides Dragon Essence, ordinary five-element spiritual energy could be contained by the barrier.

With his worries gone, Lu XiaTian no longer deliberately suppressed the speed at which he absorbed wood-type spiritual energy. Suddenly, the speed of wood-type spiritual energy flowing into his body from his palm increased severalfold.

"Hey!" Lu Xia Tian exclaimed in surprise as he discovered that when this pure wood-element spiritual energy flowed into his body, he seemed to be able to sense the vibrant vitality of all trees coming to life from within it. It was similar to when he swallowed the Wood Spirit Treasure decades ago, only now it felt much more real.

“This is the true meaning of wood!” Lu Xia Tian’s eyes lit up instantly. Perhaps by channeling this massive wood spiritual power into the Qingguo boundary and utilizing this Wood Spirit Treasure, he could comprehend the true meaning of wood!

Seizing the opportunity, Lu Xia Tian immediately acted. However, during this process of guidance, Lu Xia Tian realized that although he had grasped the threshold of the true meaning of wood, he was still lacking a spark to fully comprehend it.

True meaning refers to the comprehension of the fundamental essence of Taoism and its principles. Naturally gifted cultivators, even in environments with meager spiritual energy, can perceive that faint trace of the source through their inherent affinity and deep understanding. However, individuals like Lu Xiaoxian, whose aptitude is relatively ordinary, face an extremely slim chance of success under the same circumstances. They can only rely on such extraordinary treasures to get close to the source and utilize their powerful divine sense to meticulously explore the intricacies of spiritual energy.

Even in this situation, Lu Xia Tian still felt it wasn't enough, so he temporarily closed the Qingguo barrier, allowing more pure wood-element spiritual energy, free from any impurities, to accumulate within him.

...but this wood-based spiritual energy was extremely aggressive. In a short time, Lu Xia Tian's body began to show clear signs of woodification. This woodification wasn't limited to the hand pressing against Yu Xiao Qiao's heart. Woodgrain patterns started appearing on Lu Xia Tian's hands and face as well.

“Eastern boy!” Xiang Kuang was the first to notice Lu Xia Tian’s change, his face contorted with rage as he flew towards him.

"Stay away from me. Most of the wood-type spiritual power is now gathered in my body. Don't try to probe it easily, lest I lose control." Lu Xiaotian hastily transmitted his voice to Xiang Kuang. As the wood-type spiritual power in his body grew more and more, even Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel that he had overestimated himself. He hurriedly stopped Xiang Kuang's actions.

“You’re playing with fire!” Xiang Kuang said angrily, motioning for the others to stay back.

"Uncle Hu, stop! Uncle Hu!" Yu Xiaoqiao felt her body returning to normal. It was Uncle Hu behind her who had completely absorbed the excess wood-type spiritual energy from within her. She could feel that Lu Xiaottian's body was also nearly completely wooden, and Yu Xiaoqiao felt an unprecedented fear in her heart.

When her body fully recovered and she regained the ability to move, Yu Xiaqiao suddenly turned back to look at Huzi Shu, who in her memory was almost invincible in battle. At this time, he stood there like a majestic wooden statue.

"Uncle Hu!" Yu Xiaoqiao burst into tears instantly, rushing towards Lu Xia Tian and hugging him tightly. She cried uncontrollably, for at this moment, Lu Xia Tian was as stiff as a wooden sculpture.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Hey girl, let go!" Xiang Kuang hurriedly grabbed at empty air, pulling Yu Xia Qiao over.

“Let me go, I want my Uncle Hu!” Yu Xia Qiao cried out, struggling with all her might, acting like a madman.
