Chapter 153 – Vegetative state


Legend has it that at the beginning of the Dayu Dynasty, there was a genius who had a natural affinity for spells. He could quickly learn any spell and had a talent close to that of an immortal.

This genius’s growth speed exceeded everyone’s imagination. He quickly reached the realm that other cultivators pursued throughout their lives and became a Crossing Tribulation stage cultivator, with the title of Wanfa True Sovereign.

According to ancient records, when Wanfa True Sovereign was young, he learned the Tree Planting Technique. In just half an hour, he learned spells that others took several days or even months to learn.

Wanfa True Sovereign planted a willow seed, which took root, grew into a thriving tree, and bloomed and bore fruit. This story became a legend and has been passed down to this day.

Tao Yaoye compared Wanfa True Sovereign with Lu Yang and felt that Lu Yang was even better.

In half an hour, Lu Yang comprehended the Dao and used the Earth Escape Technique to plant a tree. The willow tree quickly grew, bloomed, and produced two Lu Yangs.

“Lu Senior Brother is still more amazing.”

There were two people on the willow tree, one was Lu Yang, and the other was also Lu Yang.

One Lu Yang was the original body, and the other Lu Yang was wearing clothes made of willow leaves. The price was that there was not a single leaf left on the willow tree, as they were all used to make clothes for Lu Yang’s clone.

“Where did I go wrong in my cultivation?” Lu Yang persistently searched for the problem.

But the result was the same as before, and he couldn’t find the reason.

“Lu Yang, you’ve become a plant person!” Immortal Fairy exclaimed with joy.

“Shut up.” Lu Yang’s face turned black. “Forget it, come down first.”

Lu Yang moved his body a bit, which didn’t affect anything. He cut off the willow branches behind his neck and landed with a grunt.

He looked at his other self and tried to control the other self with his spiritual power. Surprisingly, the other self’s fingers actually moved.

Under Lu Yang’s control, the plant person also cut off the willow branches behind its neck and successfully landed.

The two Lu Yangs separated from the willow tree, which quickly withered and shrank into a willow seed. However, the willow seed had completely lost its vitality and could no longer grow.

Lu Yang controlled his clone’s movements. At first, he was not proficient, but he gradually became skilled and could multitask, moving himself while controlling his clone.

“Hehe, you owe this to me!” Immortal Fairy boasted.

“You can control another clone because you have opened up a spiritual space. Your spiritual power is much stronger than that of the Foundation Establishment stage. Think about it, how did you open up the spiritual space back then?”

Lu Yang thought for a moment and said seriously, “It was because you wanted to possess me and forcibly entered my body, opening up the spiritual space.”

Immortal Fairy’s face turned black, emphasizing, “I was pretending. I already said that!”

Lu Yang felt that with Immortal Fairy’s intelligence, she was indeed pretending back then.

Lu Yang continued to explore his clone. The clone could only move within a range of twenty meters. Once it exceeded twenty meters, Lu Yang couldn’t sense its existence.

Twenty meters happened to be the range of Lu Yang’s spiritual power.

Within twenty meters, only the control within ten meters was precise. In the range of ten to twenty meters, the control power would weaken as the distance increased.

Lu Yang’s clone was not sturdy enough, just like the willow tree.

“Is it because the willow tree is an ordinary plant, so it’s not sturdy enough?”

Lu Yang wanted to try a real spirit plant, but he hadn’t collected any tree seeds before and didn’t have suitable materials on hand.

“Lu Senior Brother, try this peach tree seed. It’s not an ordinary plant, right?” Tao Yaoye saw Lu Yang’s difficulty and kindly handed him a seed.

Tao Yaoye eagerly observed Lu Yang. She loved exploring new things and unsolved mysteries, and now the most intriguing mystery to her was Lu Yang.

“This is not good. How much does it cost? I’ll buy it.” Lu Yang had received a lot of contribution points as a spy for the Demon Sect and still hadn’t spent them all.

“No need, this is a peach tree seed from Wuchen Peak. It’s free.”

Lu Yang remembered Tao Yaoye’s friendship and tried planting the peach tree.

He buried the peach tree seed in the soil and activated the Tree Planting Technique, but nothing happened.

“Do I have to use the Spatial Compression Technique?” Lu Yang doubted, as he had used it when planting the willow tree seed.

“Spatial Compression.”

Lu Yang shrank into the soil, activated the Tree Planting Technique, and it worked.

A sturdy peach tree emerged from the ground in front of Tao Yaoye. There were two Lu Yangs on the tree, one was the real Lu Yang, and the other was the plant person Lu Yang, with pink blush on his cheeks.

Lu Yang’s eyes twitched. “Why is this peach tree dyed?”

“Forget it, as long as it works.”

Lu Yang controlled his plant person self to move and felt delighted. He could clearly feel that the strength of his plant person self had changed, reaching about seventy to eighty percent of his own strength.

This was already remarkable.

Just imagine, during a battle, using the Tree Planting Technique to create two clones of himself, with the newly appeared clone having seventy to eighty percent of his own strength, and seamlessly coordinating with himself. His combat power would instantly soar, catching the enemy off guard.

Tao Yaoye also noticed this and admired Lu Senior Brother.”Even though Wanfa Daojun is a genius, he merely followed the footsteps of his predecessors, diligently practicing the Tree Planting Technique without any innovation. Look at Senior Brother Lu, he has painstakingly cultivated an offensive spell, and its power is extremely strong!”

At this moment, the Sixth Elder in the sky silently watched Lu Yang, then turned around and left.

Originally, she thought that if Lu Yang had any questions that Tao Yaoye couldn’t answer, she could come down and explain, fulfilling her duty as an elder.

But now, she thought better of it, deciding to leave the task of answering questions to Xiao Yun, and not to meddle in their affairs.

“Xiao Yun said that Lu Yang’s talent in the Dao is enough to establish his own sect…”

The Sixth Elder expressed doubt about this.

While it was true that his talent was high, could he really establish a sect, and would the disciples be able to learn?

Lu Yang was engrossed in his cultivation, becoming more and more proficient in using the Plant Man. Tao Yaoye observed from the side, gaining a deeper understanding of the Tree Planting Technique.

Of course, she was referring to the normal Tree Planting Technique.

As night fell, Lu Yang felt embarrassed to stay at Dustless Peak. He bid farewell to Tao Yaoye and went to the mission hall to exchange for some items. He couldn’t always use Tao Yaoye’s seeds, he needed to buy some for backup.

The Immortal Maiden was all for this, finally, she could go on a shopping spree.

After Lu Yang left, Tao Yaoye’s expression changed. She felt an inexplicable pressure, which made her feel suffocated.

Danger!

She turned her head helplessly and sent a message to her master, “Master, can you give me a heads up when you come over? It’s not easy for me to hold my breath every time.”

The Sixth Elder stood behind Tao Yaoye with an innocent expression on her face.

“I forgot you’re not in the Golden Elixir stage yet.” The Sixth Elder subconsciously thought all her disciples were at the Golden Elixir stage.

Tao Yaoye: “……”

Is this karma?

I teased Senior Brother Lu for his low cultivation level in the morning, and now it’s my turn in the evening.

The Sixth Elder didn’t forget why she came: “Do you have feelings for Lu Yang?”

Tao Yaoye’s cheeks quickly turned red. Even though she was usually carefree, when it came to this question, whether she liked him or not, she didn’t want to discuss it with her master: “Master, what are you talking about? My interactions with Senior Brother Lu are normal.”

The Sixth Elder continued to send messages: “A few days ago, Hongxia kept asking me about what kind of person Lu Yang is. I suspect that she heard Lu Yang is an excellent child and wants to introduce her good disciple Lanting to him. If you have feelings for him, you should be careful.”

The Sixth Elder was certain, believing her guess was definitely correct.

Luo Hongxia, the Palace Master of the Moon Laurel Fairy Palace.

Tao Yaoye rolled her eyes, not saying anything.

To outsiders, the master and disciple staring at each other for a long time without speaking was a very strange scene.

Of course, from another perspective, it could also be interpreted as the master and disciple having a tacit understanding, with everything understood without words.
