415: Planting grass

The Zu Long Grass's judgment was not wrong.

Just on the third day, Long Aotian successfully integrated the power of the Wind Rule, Void Rule, and Speed Rule into his Tai Xu Divine Steps.

From then on, the ultimate speed of Tai Xu Divine Steps, Divine-Grade Ninth Stage, increased from one step per hundred million Divine Light to one step per billion Divine Light, and now to one step per ten billion Divine Light.

It seems that for every additional Rule power integrated, the speed of Tai Xu Divine Steps would increase tenfold?!

Long Aotian was somewhat uncertain about this exponential growth pattern.

"Big Brother, you're amazing! Your speed has improved by another significant level!"

The first person to sense Long Aotian's Breakthrough in speed was undoubtedly Lan Qianqian. Not only was her entire heart focused on Long Aotian, but her body was also draped over his.

"Hehe, then let's have a small celebration?!"

"Mmm..."

Soon!

Their lips met.

The world spun.

Lan Qianqian felt her lips swell again, and her tongue went numb again.

Mu Mian wasn't here, Wushuang wasn't here, everyone was gone; no one was there to compete with her for Big Brother.

She didn't even know how many times her lips had swollen on this Prairie of Mysterious Loneliness under the accelerated flow of time.

Every time the swelling subsided, if he didn't actively kiss her, she would provoke him as if seeking revenge. Her lips seemed to constantly be in a swollen state...

As Long Aotian achieved a Breakthrough in speed, the Zu Long Grass, after completely collapsing in despair, finally had to face the reality of becoming a prisoner and could only accept its fate.

It was, after all, a blade of grass, an incredibly Divine blade of grass, so Divine that it seemed to exist beyond the mundane world.

Aside from its advantage in speed, its combat power was simply negligible compared to other Spirit Medicine that had gained sentience.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to hide in this Lower Realm, or within this Mystic Immortal Realm, and even live so cautiously within the Mystic Immortal Realm.

However, when it was time to be captured, no matter how cautious it was, it was ultimately captured.

This was probably fate; even a Divine being like the Zu Long Grass had to believe in such a thing.

Long Aotian was its nemesis!

"Zu Long Grass, you made This Realm Master chase you for so long and wasted so much time. It wouldn't be right without some compensation, would it?!"

After catching the Zu Long Grass, Long Aotian couldn't help but set his sights on the Prairie of Mysterious Loneliness.

During the pursuit of the Zu Long Grass, he had also experienced the vastness of the Prairie of Mysterious Loneliness. In such a vast Prairie of Mysterious Loneliness, he didn't believe there was only one Divine-Grade Spirit Vein.

He was currently in dire need of Divine-Grade Spirit Veins, and his reliance to quickly find other Divine-Grade Spirit Veins on the Prairie of Mysterious Loneliness was undoubtedly the Zu Long Grass.

"What compensation do you want?"

While the Zu Long Grass was helpless and frustrated, it was also full of vigilance towards Long Aotian.

They say the older one gets, the more one fears death. The Zu Long Grass, known as an Immortal Elixir, was no exception. Too many people in the Myriad Realms wanted to find it, extract its essence, and drink its blood. It wondered if Long Aotian was also such a person?

However, even if he was, with him as the butcher and it as the fish, it couldn't change anything, but it couldn't help but be afraid.

"What do you think?"

Looking at the wary, fearful, yet somewhat wronged and pitiful Zu Long Grass, Long Aotian couldn't help but find it a little amusing: "You are most familiar with the environment in the Mystic Immortal Realm. Does This Realm Master need to teach you what to do?

You are also about to leave the Mystic Immortal Realm. It would be a waste not to take the good things here with you. Don't tell This Realm Master that you don't know anything!"

...My nest has been taken by you. Aren't you satisfied yet?

Discovering that Long Aotian wasn't after its body, the Zu Long Grass couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. However, thinking of its destroyed nest, the Zu Long Grass couldn't help but feel a bit angry again.

"What, you want to rebel?"

Long Aotian saw that the Zu Long Grass still harbored resentment towards him and immediately became displeased: "This Realm Master is laying it out today. If you cannot produce compensation that satisfies This Realm Master, then after the Secret Realm closes, you can just wait to be stewed into soup by This Realm Master!"

"..."

The Zu Long Grass couldn't help but shrink its neck in fear.

It had no doubt that Long Aotian would do this, because it didn't understand Long Aotian well enough, and Long Aotian had indeed wasted too much time chasing it.

Moreover, in its heart, there were always treacherous people who wanted to harm it; all human Cultivators wanted to harm it. It was already overly paranoid. Even if Long Aotian said he would treat it well after it followed him, it wouldn't believe Long Aotian's nonsense at all.

Under Long's intimidation, the Zu Long Grass finally compromised helplessly: "No one understands the Prairie of Mysterious Loneliness better than me, hmph. You want treasures? There are plenty, but I just don't know if you have the time and energy to explore the entire Prairie of Mysterious Loneliness."

...Explore the entire Prairie of Mysterious Loneliness?

Long Aotian couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly, then frowned, and said coldly with some doubt: "Zu Long Grass, You kid, you wouldn't intentionally lead This Realm Master around aimlessly to waste time, would you? This Realm Master warns you, if the final result doesn't satisfy This Realm Master, I will definitely stew you after we get out!"

"..."

The Zu Long Grass couldn't help but shrink its neck again.

The words it feared hearing most were undoubtedly threats to its life. Long Aotian had practically grasped its Achilles' heel of fearing death, which made it fearful, angry, anxious, and utterly helpless.

"Who's lying to you?"

The Zu Long Grass mustered its courage and said, "Do you know how vast and expansive the Prairie of Mysterious Loneliness is?

With your current speed, if you want to cross the entire Prairie of Mysterious Loneliness, it would take at least two or three years to reach its edge. And on this boundless Prairie of Mysterious Loneliness, I have a total of thirty-six nests.

The one you raided earlier was just the lowest-grade among them!

The thirty-six nests are spread throughout the Prairie of Mysterious Loneliness. I can take you there, but do you have the speed and energy to raid all thirty-six of them?"

By the end, the Zu Long Grass felt somewhat relieved.

Losing to Long Aotian in speed made it very unhappy. Now, seeing Long Aotian helpless against the thirty-six nests it had thrown out, and seeing the sourness of grapes within reach but unable to be eaten, it felt incredibly refreshed.

You kid, aren't you very proud of your speed?

This time, I, the Zu Long Grass, want to see how you'll still be proud!

"..."

Thirty-six nests?

Long Aotian also couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows; this Zu Long Grass had thirty-six burrows, which was truly something else.

What annoyed Long Aotian was that he had only raided the lowest-grade of its nests, yet this fellow harbored so much resentment towards him. It truly made him want to punch it.

And it dared to despise him, thinking he couldn't raid its other thirty-five nests?

Regarding this!

Long Aotian also couldn't help but frown deeply.

The remaining thirty-five nests were scattered throughout the Prairie of Mysterious Loneliness. If he wanted to raid all of them, with his current speed, he indeed couldn't do it yet.

However, looking at the meat on the table, Long Aotian was unwilling to give up, especially since the Zu Long Grass had said that the nest he had raided before was the lowest-grade among its thirty-six nests.

What did this mean?

The other thirty-five nests might also contain Divine-Grade Spirit Veins, and their quality was very likely not lower than the one he had raided.

What he currently lacked most were Divine-Grade Spirit Veins; since he had encountered such things, he absolutely couldn't miss them.

Furthermore!

Near Divine-Grade Spirit Veins, a Spirit Lake would generally form, and around the Spirit Lake, Divine-Grade Spirit Medicine would be nurtured.

Even the lowest-grade nest had a large number of Divine-Grade third, fourth, fifth, and sixth-tier Spirit Medicine. What about the other, higher-quality nests?

It was even possible that there would be a large number of Divine-Grade seventh, eighth, and even more Advanced Divine-Grade ninth and tenth-tier Spirit Medicine.

After leaving the Mystic Immortal Realm and resting for a while, he was about to challenge the Godslaying Road and step into the Divine Realm.

His Breakthrough to the Divine Soldier Realm would also unseal parts of his other eight Legacy memories. Obtaining a large number of mid-to-Advanced Divine-Grade Spirit Medicine now to pave the way for improving his Pill Dao level after unsealing his Legacy memories was undoubtedly an opportunity not to be missed.

He, Long Aotian, was determined to raid the other thirty-five nests!

Isn't it just speed?

He would just integrate five Rule powers into his Tai Xu Divine Steps. With the time flow acceleration in the Ninth Layer Space World, it would only take less than ten days outside to accomplish it.

Moreover, it hadn't been mentioned that he now possessed Divine-Grade Spirit Veins, which gave him the conditions to convert Immortal Qi into Divine Power and achieve a Breakthrough to the Divine Soldier Realm.

Once he made a major Breakthrough in his Cultivation Realm, his overall strength would increase significantly again, and his speed would improve by another level.

Raiding the other thirty-five nests, in terms of time and speed, should be sufficient!
