Around Ye Chu, seal marks appeared one after another. The petals were incomparably delicate, more fragrant than hibiscus, more gorgeous than camellia. Beautiful flowers emerged around Ye Chu, and the moment this gorgeous bloom appeared, the hundred flowers instantly paled, reduced to mere foils for it.
The splendour of the blooming flowers was all merely to set off this seal mark.
“Passion Flower!” Jin Wawa stared blankly at this flower that seemed like hibiscus yet was not hibiscus, seemed like camellia yet was not camellia. Smelling the delicate fragrance it emitted, Jin Wawa stared blankly at the flower before him.
Passion Flower! Born in the extreme western lands! Delicate and fragrant! Its fragrance carried a drowsy, intoxicating wine aroma. Legend said the Passion Flower was a celestial immortal flower that descended, falling into the mortal world and becoming tainted with poison, causing the originally incomparably precious celestial immortal flower to be contaminated with the toxicity of the secular world.
Legend said that once the Passion Flower contaminated the body, the moment one felt passion, their primordial spirit would surge and their body would ache terribly. This was an extremely terrifying poison in the mortal world. Despite its enchanting beauty, the more enchanting the Passion Flower, the more poisonous it was. Legend said the most poisonous Passion Flower could kill even an absolute powerhouse with a single prick if they felt passion.
Jin Wawa stared blankly as Passion Flowers bloomed one after one before Ye Chu. The blooming flowers became even more magnificent and incomparable, because of the Passion Flower, the myriad flowers around Ye Chu grew even more gorgeous.
The fragrance was thick, and as the Passion Flowers bloomed one by one, Jin Wawa nearly became lost in it. This startled Jin Wawa, and he quickly retreated several steps, holding his breath.
The Passion Flower was extraordinary, its toxicity peerless. Although Ye Chu’s Passion Flowers were illusory, who knew if they also possessed infinite toxicity.
Jin Wawa was puzzled and perceived carefully, but he only saw the gorgeous splendour and delicate fragrance, and did not discover any danger within. Amidst Jin Wawa’s doubts, he soon witnessed its extraordinariness.
The Passion Flower suddenly bloomed, and an intensely intoxicating wine aroma permeated the air. At the same time, Ye Chu’s aura madly rose. A terrifying aura shook, transforming into a coiling dragon that shot straight into the clouds, forcibly stirring the void to erupt with a thunderous roar.
The terrifying sound made people’s hearts tremble. The vast aura shook, shooting straight into the clouds. The moment this aura emerged, the surrounding boulders and trees were directly sent flying. Ye Jingyun and the others were very close to Ye Chu, and their bodies were also thrown out. The aura Ye Chu erupted with was like a massive tornado, terrifyingly making one’s scalp go numb.
Although Ye Jingyun and the others’ strength had skyrocketed, looking at the myriad flowers coiling around Ye Chu, especially the incomparably delicate Passion Flowers, they still couldn’t help but feel their heartbeats accelerate.
The myriad flowers transformed into something like a giant dragon, surrounding Ye Chu within. A terrifying and extraordinary aura continuously climbed upward. The Passion Flowers bloomed, and Ye Chu stood atop the dragon head formed by the myriad flowers, his entire aura like thunder.
This scene was enough to make Ye Jingyun and the others’ hearts tremble, but what made them even more horrified was that Ye Chu suddenly erupted with a desolate, frenzied baleful qi.
This aura was also extremely terrifying, sweeping out. Jin Wawa felt his own primordial spirit being pulled by a strange profound principle, and the spiritual energy circulating in his qi sea slowed by several degrees.
And conversely, Ye Chu’s aura increased by several degrees again. This feeling startled Jin Wawa, and his gaze suddenly shot towards Ye Chu. The Passion Flowers beside Ye Chu suddenly disappeared, and the essence of the sun and moon around Ye Chu surged into Ye Chu’s body. Ye Chu instantly stepped into the level of the Fifth Layer of the Profound Life Realm. His entire physical body radiated light in all directions, having undergone terrifying tempering, glowing with a faint luminescence.
Ye Chu’s entire aura suddenly converged, and the myriad flowers coiling around him dissipated. Ye Jingyun’s group all stared blankly at Ye Chu, their hearts still shaken.
Just now, when Ye Chu’s Passion Flowers erupted, they had felt an extremely uncomfortable sensation, as if they were about to go mad with frenzy. The spiritual energy within their bodies seemed to diminish by several degrees.
Jin Wawa looked at Ye Chu, his eyes narrowed, extraordinarily astonished by the blooming flowers Ye Chu had displayed. Not only could he integrate his will mark into it, but he could also embellish it with peerless flowers. Thinking of that aura just now, Jin Wawa felt his heartbeat accelerate. That was not an aura that a Fifth Layer Profound Life Realm cultivator could erupt with.
“Passion Flower? Evolved from the Supreme Will!” Jin Wawa was extraordinary and could see its origin. Only, he didn’t know how Ye Chu could comprehend this thing within it.
“Legend says that sword contains a peerless secret, possibly a Supreme’s secret technique. What did you comprehend from it?” Jin Wawa asked Ye Chu curiously.
Ye Chu was also silent at this moment. He could feel that the Passion Flowers had not dissipated, but instead spread throughout his entire body, merging into his flesh and blood. Thinking of these days of comprehension, Ye Chu’s heart also pounded with fear.
“Profound Truth!” Ye Chu said to Jin Wawa, trying to keep his tone calm.
“What?” Jin Wawa roared, his entire body exploding upright, his eyes wide as he stared at Ye Chu, “Say that again, what did you say…”
Jin Wawa tightly clutched his chest, feeling his heart was about to leap out. The significance of those two words was extraordinary. Obtaining it was more effective than obtaining a Supreme artifact.
“This is the secret of the Supreme Sword!” Ye Chu said, “Every time one becomes lost, one can comprehend its true meaning. Additionally, the peerless secret technique the Supreme left within it, and this peerless secret technique, is the Profound Truth!”
Ye Jingyun’s cherry lips parted, her person standing there blankly, only feeling her feet go weak, shaken by these words. After their shock, Yang Hui and Yang Ning immediately showed excited expressions, though it was unclear why they were excited.
“Profound… Profound Truth!” Jin Wawa considered himself to have seen countless things, with extraordinary composure. After all, he had even seen Supreme artifacts, what could still make him lose his composure?
But hearing these two words at this moment, he still felt his heart was about to leap out. He tried hard to maintain some calmness, taking a deep breath to steady his tone, but there were still several tremors in his voice: “What Profound Truth? Passion?”
In Jin Wawa’s view, the Passion Saint’s Profound Truth should be passion, because it was also passion.
“No! It’s Seize!”
“Hm?” Jin Wawa didn’t understand.
“Seize can seize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, seize the vitality of all things, seize the emotions of the world. Of course, it can also seize a cultivator’s spiritual energy and spirit-shaping qi. It can seize others’ auras for one’s own use, seize their cultivation techniques, seize their lifespan, seize… seize everything in the world that can be seized.”
As Ye Chu spoke, he waved his arm, landing on a tree. That tree instantly withered, and its vigorous vitality merged into Ye Chu’s body.
This scene left Jin Wawa standing blankly in place. Thinking of how his own spiritual energy circulation had slowed just now, even overflowing from his body, while Ye Chu’s aura had increased, made Jin Wawa’s heart skip a beat.
“Seizing everything in heaven and earth that can be seized, how overbearing is this.” Jin Wawa couldn’t imagine it, but just looking at that tree whose vitality had been seized, he knew its terror.
A cultivator’s life was limited. But if one could seize others’ vitality, then wouldn’t he… achieve longevity?
Thinking of this, Jin Wawa’s heart was about to leap out. Was this the terror of the Profound Truth? Truly extraordinary! Able to seize everything in heaven and earth, did that not represent the greatest bandit in the world?
