Nine-leaf Sword Grass, Luo God Princess!

Great Thousand World, Spirit Road.

Within a dense forest, a small silver grass grew rather abruptly.

Its leaves resembled sleeve swords, totaling nine blades.

The surrounding area was completely clear, with no other weeds existing.

A gentle breeze swayed it, and a soft murmur sounded.

I have been in this damn place for a while now, I wonder if the Spirit Road has opened yet...

Zhao Chen could not help sighing, as a time-traveler, he had actually transmigrated into a plant!

Being a plant was fine, but it was merely a weed.

Fortunately, he had bound a sign-in system.

As long as he signed in every day and accumulated a year's time, he could obtain sign-in rewards.

The very first sign-in reward Zhao Chen obtained was the Nine-leaf Sword Grass!

That was right, it was none other than the Nine-leaf Sword Grass from the Ten Vicious Arts!

Relying on the plant form of the Nine-leaf Sword Grass, Zhao Chen faced no threats whatsoever in this forest.

Even the extremely ferocious spirit beasts of this place felt their scalps tingle when they saw the sharpness of those nine silver sword leaves, not daring to act recklessly.

However, it was useless.

If Zhao Chen wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible, he could only rely on others.

After all, this was the Spirit Road.

The so-called Spirit Road was a special trial space opened up by the Five Great Academies—the top-tier powers of the academy faction most representative of the Great Thousand World—relying on the Divine Artifact, the Mirror of Judgment.

Every once in a while, the Spirit Road would open, bringing geniuses from all over the Great Thousand World here to participate in trials.

Only geniuses who experienced blood and fire and stood out from the crowd could excel within the Five Great Academies where geniuses were as numerous as clouds, ultimately walking toward the Great Thousand World, ranking at the pinnacle of the world, and achieving that supreme Heavenly Sovereign!

The cultivation stages of the Great Thousand World are divided into the Sensory Stage, Spirit Movement Stage, Spirit Wheel Stage, Divine Soul Stage, Three Heavens Realm (Fusion Heavenly Realm, Transforming Heaven Realm, and Heaven-reaching Realm), Sovereign Three Difficulties (Physical Body Difficulty, Spiritual Energy Difficulty, and Divine Soul Difficulty), Supreme Realm (Ninth Grade), Earthly Sovereign (Lower Phase, Upper Phase, and Great Perfection), Heavenly Sovereign (Spirit Grade, Immortal Grade, and Saint Grade), Transcendent Saint Stage (Half-Step Ruler Realm), and Ruler Realm!

Even though the upper limit of the Nine-leaf Sword Grass was high enough to far surpass the Ruler Realm.

However!

This was the Great Thousand World, and what Zhao Chen obtained was merely the plant form of the Nine-leaf Sword Grass.

Starting from zero!

As a blade of grass, he was truly a blade of grass.

Without cultivation, things were very difficult.

Unless he could obtain the Grass-Character Sword Art!

The Grass-Character Sword Art, unique to the inheritance of the Nine-leaf Sword Grass, ranked among the Ten Vicious Arts and was furthermore one of the three great archaic sword arts.

Its might was so powerful that it could sever time and space and annihilate star seas!

Having mastered the Grass-Character Sword Art and accepted its complete inheritance, Zhao Chen could still cultivate within this Spirit Road!

Normally, human trial-takers were not allowed to cultivate spiritual energy within the Spirit Road.

As a blade of grass, what restricted Zhao Chen from cultivating was the lack of a complete inheritance.

Over this past year, the spiritual energy brought by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon was quite meager.

In terms of realm, it could be considered the late stage of the Spirit Movement Stage.

Even without the Grass-Character Sword Art, cultivating other people's cultivation methods and spiritual jues would not have resulted in such meager cultivation.

Who could blame it for the fact that the Spirit Road had yet to open, and there was not a single person here!

What Zhao Chen longed for day and night was the opening of the Spirit Road.

As long as it opened, he could begin cultivating.

After all, he could utterly crush those unlucky fellows who had just entered the Spirit Road and acquire cultivation methods and spiritual jues from them.

However, the problem was that Zhao Chen did not know whether the Spirit Road had opened or not...

In other words, he might encounter rookies at the Sensory Stage, or he might encounter talented trial-takers who had stepped into the Spirit Wheel Stage.

"You killed so many of our brothers and still want to run? That's far too naive!"

Suddenly, a furious roar came from the forest in the distance, pulling Zhao Chen out of his thoughts.

Someone!

Damn it, the Spirit Road seemed to have opened long ago!

Extremely excited, Zhao Chen immediately looked in that direction.

A figure in black flashed past, and their speed was not very fast.

Judging by the intense battle earlier and the long pursuit, their condition was extremely poor.

What made Zhao Chen's eyes light up was the person being pursued.

That was a stunning girl, her slender figure concealed within a tight-fitting black dress.

Her skin was like snow, with curved brows and blue eyes.

Her features were delicate, and her small face was indifferent.

Her long silver hair, bright as the Milky Way, cascaded from her shoulders down to her slender waist.

Her long, rounded, jade-like legs were exceptionally eye-catching.

Her bare jade feet lightly stepped upon a tree branch, and her slender jade hand gripped a long black sword.

Though a trace of blood stained the corner of her mouth, her aura was quite weak.

Yet she still gave off a sense of threat, as though she could erupt with ultimate lethality at any moment.

"Luo Li!"

Zhao Chen recognized this stunning silver-haired girl; the other party hailed from the quite renowned Luo God Clan of the Great Thousand World.

Once, the ancestors of this clan had climbed to the peak of the Great Thousand World, standing in the front ranks of Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign, making them quite powerful.

Moreover, Luo Li's status within the Luo God Clan was also quite noble, being a direct imperial daughter who flowed with the purest Luo God Bloodline in nearly a thousand years.

Her grandfather, Luo Tianshen, was the former and current patriarch of the Luo God Clan, and her father was the previous patriarch.

As long as this direct imperial daughter matured, she would inevitably become the future empress of the Luo God Clan, supported by hundreds of millions of subjects!

She was definitely a top-tier trial-taker even within the Spirit Road, where geniuses were as numerous as clouds.

Zhao Chen had not expected that the first Spirit Road trial-taker he encountered would be her, and he was somewhat surprised.

However, he quickly furrowed his brows.

From the direction Luo Li had come, more than a dozen people were actually charging over.

Every single youth possessed the strength of the Spirit Wheel Stage.

This was extraordinary!

"Is the Spirit Road in its late stage?"

Zhao Chen raised his brow sharply; he had taken root right here and could only trust to luck.

If he didn't run into people, he wouldn't even know if the Spirit Road had opened.

Who would have thought that the moment he encountered someone, he would run into a dozen or so geniuses of the Spirit Wheel Stage?

Even though Luo Li belonged to the absolute cream of the crop among this batch of Spirit Road trial-takers, it would still be difficult for her to escape unscathed under the encirclement and slaughter of a group of Spirit Wheel Stage geniuses.

To the extent that right now, she couldn't even manage to shake off these pursuing enemies.

"This is tricky. There are five in the late Spirit Wheel Stage and seven in the mid Spirit Wheel Stage."

Zhao Chen noted the strength of the enemies hunting Luo Li, and could not help but shake his head.

Luo Li's current strength was only at the peak of the Spirit Wheel Stage.

What was worse, her condition was so poor that she couldn't even maintain the late Spirit Wheel Stage level.

If a fight truly broke out, she would inevitably suffer a huge loss.

Furthermore, he suspected that other top-tier prodigies similar to Luo Li had already received the message and were rushing over toward this side.

Once Luo Li released her ultimate trump card—well, untied the seal on the Luo God Clan's supreme treasure, Luo God Sword, and wiped out the enemies before her—it would still cause her to fall into a desperate situation.

"Such strong sword qi."

What caught Zhao Chen by surprise was that Luo Li's focus was not on her own safety, but on this Nine-leaf Sword Grass of his.

Luo Li, who had practiced the sword since childhood and possessed no shallow attainments in the realm of the sword, clearly sensed something special.

Her clear, bright blue eyes swiftly locked onto that silver Nine-leaf Sword Grass.

"Arrogant! Don't wait for Boss Yang Hong."

Those dozen or so Spirit Wheel Stage geniuses saw that Luo Li was actually paying attention to a weed, and instantly grew anxious!

"Kill her!"

In an instant, their sharpness was laid bare.

Under the joint assault of more than a dozen people, Luo Li withdrew her gaze, revealing a hint of solemnity.

These lackeys were truly annoying.

Yet, she had also reached her limit...

"A single leaf can slash suns, moons, and stars!"
