Fortunately, Xiao Ying still retained a shred of reason. He forced himself not to pounce immediately and instead slipped swiftly behind a black rock!
When things strayed from the ordinary, something sinister was surely at work!
Given the environment here, Xiao Ying could believe that a Sacred Item like five-aggregate heavenly thunder bamboo, the absolute bane of the Devil Race, could grow here. But he could not believe that no one had discovered it in a million years. Who could resist the temptation of such a Sacred Treasure? Probably not even an Immortal Venerable!
Calming his mind and steadying his spirit, Xiao Ying began to observe carefully...
He was roughly three to five li from the five-aggregate purple thunder bamboo-not far for a cultivator, who could cover that distance in an instant. The main problem was the jumble of black rocks and assorted debris blocking his view. Moreover, the five-aggregate purple thunder bamboo stood below the surrounding level, making it even harder to discover!
Purple light bloomed and lightning wreathed it. The hundred-odd meters around it resembled a pure land amid the filthy demonic ground, impervious to any demonic energy or Demonic Beast. Like an oasis in a desolate desert, its brown soil, green grass, red flowers, and verdant trees formed a purple paradise beyond the mortal world!
The purple jade bamboo was crystalline and translucent from end to end, even its leaves.
Apart from the coiling purple lightning and blooming purple light, it emitted an obscure fluctuation of unfathomable mystery. At first glance, it drove a person almost mad with desire, yet careful contemplation brought perfect clarity, sweeping away all stray thoughts and imparting absolute tranquility and peace!
It was indeed five-aggregate heavenly thunder bamboo, one of the legendary eight sacred woods!
Xiao Ying had long heard the legends
