Chapter 153 Picking Immortal Herbs in PE Class! Peerless Sword Intent as a Sparring Partner
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Holy Lord Zixiao and the Nine Nether Devil Emperor, these two peerless Immortal Kings, were currently waving the large brooms in their hands frantically. They were sweeping the bluestone slabs so hard that sparks were even flying from the friction!
"Quick! Nine Nether, dig out the dust from that corner! Today, we must sweep this street so clean that even an ant would slip if it walked on it!" Holy Lord Zixiao was covered in sweat, but his eyes burned with an extreme desire to win.
The Nine Nether Devil Emperor gritted his teeth as he scraped the moss from the stone crevices with his fingernails: "I know! We absolutely cannot let that old geezer in the toilet steal our thunder!"
Meanwhile, in the public latrine not far away.
"Plop! Pop!"
"Plop! Pop!"
Bursts of rhythmic plunging sounds echoed out continuously.
Old Yue (Ancestor Sun Moon) gripped the [Sky-Piercing Plunger] tightly with both hands, exerting frantic force against a slightly clogged toilet stall.
With every press, the Dao of Devouring contained within the plunger would wash through his body once! He could clearly feel that the Immortal Emperor Barrier within him, which had been blocked for a million years, was being cleared bit by bit amidst these "plop" sounds!
"Refreshing! This is too refreshing! Unblocking a toilet is just like unblocking the clogged Dao of this world! The Master's arrangement truly contains supreme truth!" Old Yue shed tears of excitement as he worked, not even caring that he was stained with a bit of filth.
...
Inside the Mortal Dwelling.
After having breakfast, Lin Yuan led the five children, who were carrying small backpacks, to the backyard.
A corner of the backyard was originally an open space Lin Yuan had cleared to plant some vegetables. However, because the yard was filled with the Creation Immortal Qi of the Primordial World Tree, and because that pure-blooded Golden Dragon Emperor breathed into the pond every day, this open space was now overgrown with man-high, strangely shaped "weeds."
"Children, we won't be having academic classes today. Sitting in the house all day isn't good for your health. Today, we'll have a combined PE and labor class."
Lin Yuan pointed at the dense thicket of grass, took out several small weeding hoes and sickles from the corner, and distributed them to the five children.
"Today's task is to pull out all the weeds in this plot. Consider it a way to train your physical stamina. Remember, pull them out by the roots, or they'll grow back in a few days."
Pulling weeds?!
Zhang Xiaopang and Xiao Yuer took their small hoes and ran over excitedly.
But Goudan and Tiezhu, standing behind, looked at that "thicket" with legs that felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move a single step.
Why pulling weeds again?!
Those were stalks of [Nine-Tribulation World-Destroying Sword Grass] that emitted sky-piercing Sword Intent, with leaf edges that even sliced open tiny spatial cracks! And those vines wrapped around the sword grass were clearly [Heaven-Swallowing Devil Vines] capable of strangling a True Immortal!
In the records of the Shenhuang Continent, even the birth of a juvenile Nine Tribulations Sword Grass would trigger heavenly phenomena and draw down a Heavenly Tribulation of ten thousand thunderbolts!
"Tiezhu..." Goudan swallowed hard, his voice trembling, "Do you feel it? The killing intent in this thicket, if placed outside, would be enough to grind the entire Eastern Desolation into a bloody mist!"
Tiezhu nodded with a grave expression: "But look, not even a shred of aura has leaked out of this yard! This new Immortal Court established by the Teacher is an absolute seal of Laws! It obscures the heavenly secrets and deceives the Dao! The Teacher is letting us use these peerless malevolent objects to temper our Physical Bodies within this absolutely sealed safety zone!"
"Don't just stand there, get to work!" Lin Yuan pulled over a rattan chair nearby and sat down, brewing a pot of tea as he acted as the Overseer.
Goudan and Tiezhu gritted their teeth and steeled themselves as they walked into the thicket.
Goudan eyed a [Nine-Tribulation World-Destroying Sword Grass] that was only half a meter tall, took a deep breath, and suddenly grabbed the steel-like leaves with both hands.
"Buzz—!"
The moment Goudan touched the sword grass, it instinctively erupted with a terrifying Sword Intent capable of slaying an Immortal Venerable!
But under the suppression of the "sealing" Law of Lin Yuan's Mortal Dwelling, this Sword Intent was strictly confined to a one-foot radius around Goudan, turning into a tiny yet horrifying cage of Sword Qi that frantically sliced at Goudan's Innate Immortal Bone!
"Argh—!"
Goudan let out a low growl. The Immortal Bone in his body erupted with brilliant light, beginning a tragic tug-of-war with the sword grass. Every second, his Physical Body was being torn apart by Sword Qi, only to undergo Rebirth under the Origin of his Immortal Bone. His physical foundation surged frantically under this extreme pressure!
Tiezhu, beside him, wasn't faring any better. He gripped a [Heaven-Swallowing Devil Vine] tightly with both hands. The devil vine seemed to turn into an ancient venomous python, coiling tightly around his arms and frantically devouring his Devilish Qi. Tiezhu's eyes were blood-red, and the Ancient Demonic Fetus throbbed frantically in the desperate situation, engaging in the most primitive tug-of-war with the devil vine!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Because Zhang Xiaopang and Xiao Yuer had no cultivation, those sword grasses and devil vines were like actual ordinary weeds to them. They showed no reaction and were easily dug out with a single stroke of their hoes.
"Phew... these city kids, their Physique just isn't up to par."
Lin Yuan sat on the rattan chair, took a sip of tea, and shook his head helplessly as he watched Goudan and Tiezhu, who were covered in sweat and trembling, struggling with a single blade of grass for a long time.
"Is pulling a weed that difficult? Look at you two, your faces are all red and you can't even pull out a single blade of grass. What kind of heavy labor will you be able to do when you grow up?"
Lin Yuan put down his teacup and stood up.
"Move aside, let me teach you what real leverage technique is. To pull weeds, you have to grab the root, not just pull the leaves."
Lin Yuan walked over to Goudan, reached out his slender, fair hands, and grabbed the main stalk of the [Nine-Tribulation World-Destroying Sword Grass] that was frantically erupting with world-ending Sword Intent.
"Boom!"
Sensing the intrusion of an external force, the sword grass erupted with an unprecedented ultimate sword light, attempting to slice these Mortal palms into mincemeat!
However!
The moment those Supreme Sword Intents, capable of tearing apart stars, slashed against Lin Yuan's hand, it was like a breeze brushing against an ancient divine mountain. Not even a white mark was left behind, and they instantly shattered into nothingness!
"Heave! Up!"
Lin Yuan didn't even bend his waist much. He just lifted it up like he was pulling a green onion.
"Pop."
That Nine-Tribulation World-Destroying Sword Grass, whose roots were embedded in the endless Void Realm and tightly connected to the Laws of the Dao, was pulled out by Lin Yuan with effortless ease, along with a small clump of soil, as if a plug had been pulled out!
All the Sword Intent and all the Laws were completely suppressed by the invisible field around Lin Yuan the moment they left the soil, turning into a lifeless weed devoid of Life Qi.
"See that? Just pull like this, and it comes right out with a bit of effort."
Lin Yuan shook the soil off the peerless sword grass, which would be enough to trigger a bloody war between Immortal Emperors in the cultivation world, and then casually tossed it toward the nearby chicken coop.
"Cluck, cluck!"
The "Baldy Chicken" transformed from the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix had its eyes light up. It immediately rushed over with small steps and swallowed that Nine-Tribulation World-Destroying Sword Grass in one gulp, just like eating a worm.
"Crunch, crunch."
As the Divine Phoenix chewed the sword grass, a faint sword hum erupted within its body. Its originally shriveled body actually became visibly plumper by a fraction, and a brand-new Divine Phoenix True Feather even seemed to be budding on its bald tail.
"This grass is not bad. Pull more of it. It's perfect as Green fodder to supplement vitamins for this Free-range chicken. I've noticed it's gotten thinner from laying eggs these past few days."
Goudan and Tiezhu slumped on the ground, watching the peerless sword grass being used as chicken feed. They panted heavily, their eyes filled with a frenzy and awe that words could not describe.
Under the Teacher's absolute seal that deceived heaven and earth, within the supreme rules of this new Immortal Court, Immortal Plants were weeds, and the Divine Phoenix was poultry!
The only thing they could do now was to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, do this physical labor of pulling weeds well, and temper an invincible Physical Body capable of following the Teacher to battle against the heavens and the earth!
"We understand! Don't worry, Teacher, we will definitely pull all the weeds clean!"
Goudan and Tiezhu were like they had been injected with chicken blood, howling as they lunged once more into the peril-filled thicket. This time, they were no longer afraid, because they knew that this was the top-tier cultivation resource bestowed upon them by the Teacher!
