Crossover: Is this how it's sewn?

Chapter 103, Section 102: Plants in Space

Xu Zhenqing glanced at Lin Nuoyi, and the "sounds" of the shackles breaking in the other's body resounded in his ears, clear and melodious, revealing the other's body's meridians.

"In the early stages of cultivation, practicing various paths simultaneously is very competitive, since the level is too low and many things are interconnected," Xu Zhenqing commented in his mind. Lin Nuoyi not only cultivates the pollen path, but also other miscellaneous systems, although there is indeed only one energy cycle.

Xu Zhenqing felt the various energy systems within his body, such as essence, divine power, magical power, qi, and ki, each following its own path. He attempted to merge positive and negative energies.

Without any "horror" meme adjustment, it was directly blown to dust. Xu Zhenqing estimated the power and concluded that if he used all the energy circulating in his body, it would be enough to blast out the small black hole.

If we add the other self from the Hidden Emperor Star, he would be enough to threaten a Dao-Slaying King. You must know that the other self is only a second-level Immortal, which is a huge leap across a major realm. He is a divine restriction that has lasted for eternity and is the standard for ancient emperors.

In a short period of time, Xu Zhenqing figured out three methods of utilizing the circulation of energy within his body. Another method was to evolve a Tai Chi diagram or a chaotic millstone, using the annihilation properties of positive and negative energy to grind the enemy into the middle.

Xu Zhenqing was still considering the remaining method, which was to make the various energy cycles form a sophisticated whole, capable of freely converting into one another, maximizing strengths and minimizing weaknesses, and combining it with the first two methods to make the most of the special conditions within the body.

"It seems that it is normal for others to cultivate one system, and only a few geniuses can cultivate several non-contradictory cultivation methods. Those who can cultivate contradictory cultivation methods are definitely monstrous geniuses." Xu Zhenqing reflected on the mistaken idea that his personal situation was universally applicable and realized that mediocrity was the norm.

"Senior, I have broken through the shackles of my body and reached an incredible realm. I can even sense killing intent from thousands of miles away. Give me time, and I can shatter mountains and break rivers." Lin Nuoyi opened her gentle and tender eyes, her body exuding an ethereal aura, and said to Xu Zhenqing with gratitude and a hint of satisfaction in her tone.

"Lin Nuoyi, the senior has been waiting for you. Let's talk about it after the secret realm ends." Someone was dissatisfied with Xu Zhenqing's preferential treatment of Lin Nuoyi and his personal protection of her, and was filled with jealousy.

Xu Zhenqing smiled, and seemingly infected by her smile, the person who had been jealous instantly realized the truth and apologized to Xu Zhenqing and Lin Nuoyi.

"We're all on the same team, so we need to stick together. We must never be so spoiled again next time," Xu Zhenqing advised softly, like a reliable senior.

"It's nothing to begin with. To be honest, it's understandable that you have some complaints because I took up everyone's time." Lin Nuoyi's clear eyes were filled with confusion, but she didn't express it, and just spoke with a magnanimous attitude.

The journey was smooth, and Cheng Chuan made several moves, slaying several colossal primordial beasts that could be called natural disasters. The magma world was not just about opportunities.

Upon stepping onto an ancient teleportation altar, under Xu Zhenqing's manipulation, the group was inevitably forced to separate.

Xu Zhenqing didn't spend much time finding the wary Lin Nuoyi in the secret realm, allowing her to see him from afar.

"Senior, I didn't expect we were teleported to such a close location." Lin Nuoyi's beautiful eyes flashed with joy as she strode over with her long legs.

"Nuoyi, thank goodness I found you, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to explain to Grandpa Lin." Xu Zhenqing looked relieved and handed Chengchuan to Lin Nuoyi, pretending to be scared afterward, and said, "This is my weapon, just like my hands, so you can take it for now."

"Thank you, senior. I will respectfully accept your offer." Lin Nuoyi had long harbored a special fondness for Cheng Chuan. She had previously asked how to forge such a soul weapon and was willing to provide an extremely powerful divine technique.

The two walked side by side. Xu Zhenqing felt that the other person was kind. Although he called her "senior" repeatedly, he still regarded her as his peer.

"Didn't you see anyone else, senior?" Lin Nuoyi didn't dwell on Xu Zhenqing's form of address, but asked with a hint of anxiety. There were several other people from the Tianshen Group with them, including her best friend.

Xu Zhenqing shook his head and said cautiously, "Don't separate for now. My divine sense is restricted in this place and can only explore the space within a hundred miles. Let's go directly to the core of the secret realm. Once we control the core, we can control the secret realm."

"How did you know all this, senior?" Lin Nuoyi felt a little more at ease and looked at Xu Zhenqing with curiosity. After hesitating for a moment, she asked directly, knowing that the data from the Eastern European expedition did not include this information.

"We're not that far apart in age, just call me by my name. Names are for people to call, I won't do anything to you." Seeing the worry on Lin Nuoyi's face, Xu Zhenqing, who had no mind to study Chengchuan with him, explained, "It's written on the altar that teleported us. I had my AI Red Queen help decipher it, and we just got this information."

"If that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony, Zhenqing. Well, if it weren't for my family's insistence, I wouldn't be so reserved. Now I'm on the same generation as my father." Lin Nuoyi smiled, her eyes like a poem or a painting, temporarily setting aside the safety of her companion, and said half-jokingly.

"Let each say their own thing. I'm used to it. Since I've gained fame, I've encountered this four times already. For example, the Lord of Biyou Palace, that old fellow initially called me 'little friend,' but now he calls me 'fellow Daoist.'" Xu Zhenqing said with a smile, amusedly telling the story of the Lord of Biyou Palace.

"It's really fun." Lin Nuoyi never expected that the stern and ruthless sword cultivator had such a side. Now that she had broken free of her shackles and could stand on equal footing with him, she could even listen to such jokes.

Just as Xu Zhenqing and Lin Nuoyi, a lone man and woman, were exploring the secret realm together, the peace outside Earth was shattered.

An ancient corpse was hanging from a vine, which was also wrapped around a satellite. In the vast expanse of space, it was extremely eerie.

A satellite, completely entangled in vines, hung down from the high heavens.

The starry sky was brilliant, and suddenly ripples appeared in the void. Dozens of vines hung down from the sky and reached densely populated metropolises in various places.

Strange vines have appeared in the skies above major cities in both the East and West, as well as in island nations across the oceans.

The latest novel is first published here!

These vines seem to have grown out of nowhere from mid-air, taking root in the void, with no visible roots or stems.

According to the remaining satellite monitoring, these vines, like ropes, hang down from tens of thousands of meters in the air, while others fall from hundreds of meters in the air, and they are also different colors, including green and purple.

The Planetary Council's countermeasures team, in conjunction with the five major powers, launched missiles in an attempt to destroy them, only to find it was futile; the vines were growing too fast.

This situation has alarmed top government officials around the world, and this is just one of the strange occurrences in the early stages of the anomaly.

This is just the primitive stage of the Thousand Star Vine, only just sprouting roots and shoots. It is still far from evolving and maturing, and its form will continue to change as it grows.

It gets its name from its roots in the starry sky and its vines connecting thousands of stars.

As a legendary plant, once it truly grows, it blots out the sky and covers the starry heavens.
