Meanwhile, the Taiyu Divine Dynasty.
The clouds and mist were thin, revealing glimpses of the golden glow of the setting sun.
The bright, warm sunlight shone down, piercing through layers of clouds and adorning the dense forest on the ground with a dazzling golden hue.
It was exceptionally quiet.
So quiet that no one noticed, a small airship was gliding through the thin mist of the clouds.
The flying boat moved incredibly fast, stirring up waves of clouds, but it was completely inconspicuous amidst the ever-changing, rolling clouds.
Not to mention that this flying boat was also engraved with hidden formations.
The airship's hull was covered with dense arrays, occasionally flashing with the color of mithril. It was undoubtedly the work of a master. It is no exaggeration to say that even a Saint Realm expert would probably not be able to detect the movement of this airship.
On the deck of the airship, Dongfang Muxue gripped her sleeves tightly and exhaled slowly.
It was as if this would allow him to expel the worries hidden in his brows.
It wasn't just worry, but also a hint of tension.
She was a princess of the Taiyu Divine Dynasty. This trip was a secret one, and she did not inform the Great Saint who was guarding her. She only brought a dozen or so people with her to accompany her.
Just for...
' The Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi...'
A few words flashed through Dongfang Muxue's mind, stirring up shallow thoughts and causing her uncontrollable worries.
The Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi.
It is a legendary, supreme spirit medicine.
It can heal all damage to the spirit and soul.
Even if one's soul is shattered and beyond saving, as long as there is the Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi, it can be brought back to life. Combined with other auxiliary medicines, it is almost equivalent to a medicine that can bring the dead back to life.
If it is a common injury to the soul, it can be healed in a short time.
She wanted... no! She absolutely had to get the Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi!
A resolute look flashed in Dongfang Muxue's eyes.
Over the years, she and the Eldest Imperial Prince have been constantly fighting within the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, each supported by a powerful Great Saint.
The struggle grew increasingly fierce and intense.
His subordinates also suffered injuries.
But Father...
Thinking of her father, the emperor, who resided in the palace and was like a silent, solid mountain, a dark glint flashed in Dongfang Muxue's eyes.
She understands everything.
Everyone understands.
To this day, the Emperor seems blind and deaf, never uttering a word about the siblings' rivalry, nor offering any opinion whatsoever.
Call him cold-hearted or indifferent to emotions.
Dongfang Muxue knew that she wouldn't be able to get her father's approval before she and the Eldest Imperial Prince reached a conclusion.
The entire Taiyu Divine Dynasty knew about this.
Rumors are circulating that the aloof and inviolable ruler of the divine dynasty is waiting for the two of them to settle their differences.
Whoever emerges victorious will become the next ruler of the divine dynasty and ascend the supreme throne.
However, conflict inevitably results in injury.
Over the years, not only have Dongfang Muxue's Saint Realm experts suffered injuries, with many still wounded and not yet fully recovered, but she herself was also injured in an assassination attempt three months ago, damaging her soul.
On the surface, nothing seemed wrong, but only she knew that half of her soul had been shattered.
She was forced to endure excruciating pain, both day and night, which nearly drove her to the brink of death.
But she did not set off immediately to find the medicine.
The struggle for the throne allows no room for the slightest mistake.
Moreover, the Eldest Imperial Prince's men are also keeping an eye on them.
Therefore, she cannot show even the slightest weakness.
Dongfang Muxue persisted like this for three months, until the Eldest Imperial Prince's men lowered their guard and mistakenly believed that she had been lucky enough to escape injury in the fight, and withdrew many of their men. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, dragging her aching body, and secretly set off to find medicine.
The news about the Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi had been delivered to her a month ago.
But at that time, it was not yet ripe.
Dongfang Muxue was also glad that the Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi had not matured at that time; otherwise, in the end, she might have ended up with nothing.
Now, the timing, location, and people are all perfect.
She stood on the deck, lost in thought.
If one could obtain the Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi, with the help of her alchemists, not only could her injuries be healed, but many other Saint Realm could also be healed. After all, the Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi's companion plant is the Nether Soul Thousand-Leaf Grass, which contains powerful Spiritual Power and has no side effects.
If there are many companion plants, it might even allow them to advance another step in their cultivation level.
Once you reach the Saint Realm, even a single level difference makes all the difference.
In the Middle Stage of the Saint Realm, they can roam freely in this vast Eastern Continent, and in the Taiyu Divine Dynasty, they can be considered the trump card of the dynasty.
The Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi, she must...
Just as Dongfang Muxue was pondering, a startled cry suddenly rang in her ears.
"Oh no! The spirit creature has been born ahead of schedule!"
"Princess, be careful! We must hurry!"
What!?
Dongfang Muxue was startled and looked up into the distance. She saw a pillar of light shooting into the sky at their destination. The pillar of light, rich in Spiritual Qi, exploded in mid-air, almost tearing apart the clouds there.
She immediately sensed something was wrong.
This commotion is really huge!
I originally intended to pick the Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi without anyone noticing, but now the people nearby will definitely be alerted.
Hurry!
We must speed things up, otherwise this priceless treasure might fall into the hands of others.
She'd been eyeing this treasure for so long; she absolutely couldn't let it slip through her fingers!
Dongfang Muxue took a deep breath, steeled her resolve, and said directly, "Abandon the ship! We'll use our Secret Technique to fly there quickly, hurry!"
"Yes, Princess!"
The others showed no reluctance to leave the flying boat, immediately using Secret Method to rush towards the place brimming with Spiritual Power.
This is it.
In the dense mountain forest and swamp, the dark trees almost reached the sky. The Vast Sea Saint King and Lin Xuan arrived at the same time and landed. As soon as they landed, their eyes fell on a small mountain in the dark pool not far away.
The Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi grow tall and strong on the mountain.
Only Blackwater Swamp can nurture it.
This place is indeed suitable for the birth of the Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi.
There was still a lot of miasma and fog around, which could easily obscure a cultivator's Divine Sense. If it weren't for the ripening of the Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi, it's likely that no one would have ever discovered this place.
The Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi, growing on the Nether Stone, has roots that resemble tentacles, all submerged in the poisonous water of the swamp. However, the dark blue Ganoderma stands above the swamp like a small millstone, shimmering with white spiritual light, enveloped in blue flames, and swaying gently in the wind.
Upon seeing such a treasure, the Vast Sea Saint King's face immediately lit up with joy.
"Sect Master, it's the Twin Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi!"
That's right.
Twin Nether Soul Saint Lingzhi.
There are two Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms. One is slightly larger and more vigorous, while the other, though smaller, has a purer aura.
They are evenly matched.
but...
Lin Xuan remained silent, only raising his eyes to look at the group of people who had landed almost at the same time as him.
