Chapter 271: A Sealed Disaster
Chapter 271: A Sealed Disaster
On the other side, Young’er looked no different from yesterday. After listening, he asked, "What exactly is this Seven Deadly Sins?"
"It is a mutated plant. It can break its main body into countless microorganisms that are ten times smaller than the spiritual particles in spiritual energy. After being absorbed by living beings, it merges into their bodies during the first seven days. Then in the next seven days, it converts the host’s body into its own main body and grows."
"In short, this mutated plant grows extremely fast. If no one stops it, it will advance one tier every fourteen days, and with each tier, the area it can contaminate expands tenfold. However, its invasive ability has no effect on plants."
After hearing this, Young’er thought for a moment and said in confusion, "Then this thing should be easy to deal with. Just use plants to create a container and seal it inside. Why does Yingzhou Celestial Isle make it seem like an apocalyptic crisis? And since the Source of Profound Ice can seal it, that means it still retains the nature of a plant, fearing extreme cold and heat. In that case, treasures of extreme cold or extreme heat should also be able to seal it."
"Uh... I do not know either."
It was never mentioned in the original story.
Speaking of which, the fact that you came up with several solutions almost without thinking is what is truly strange.
Xiao Shou looked at Fu Young in surprise while examining him up and down.
No matter how he looked, he was still his clever and obedient disciple.
Xiao Shou shake his head to clear away distracting thoughts and thought carefully and said, "But where would we find such a large wooden container to hold it?"
"I think a Woodflow Bottle would work. However, extracting the Seven Deadly Sins from such a vast area of spiritual energy and compressing it into the bottle would take an immense amount of time and effort. It is not something ordinary people can do."
Not everyone was as talented as his master who could refine spiritual energy as easily as combing hair.
When Xiao Shou heard this, he felt a bit embarrassed and said, "But the Source of Profound Ice was probably the natural treasure originally used to seal the Seven Deadly Sins. Now that it has erupted, the Source of Profound Ice and the surrounding ice might have already been taken. Even if we deal with the Seven Deadly Sins, it might all be for nothing."
"In that case, Master should return to the sect first and wait for me. I will be back soon. We can look for Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice through other channels."
After saying this calmly, Fu Young added as if casually, "Master, you are really amazing at gathering information. You even know these details so clearly."
"Uh... but leaving just like this feels a bit unwilling."
Xiao Shou guiltily ignored the question, thinking to himself that he must not reveal any flaws.
He needed to find a way to justify his words.
He quickly changed the subject and said, "What if the cultivators from the Three Immortal Island are not as smart as you and fail to think of a solution in time? Then all life within millions of miles of sea around Yingzhou Kingdom might be wiped out. I would probably regret it."
Fu Young blinked his eyes and said helplessly, "Master, your personality has always been like this. You complain about trouble, yet you always worry about things that have nothing to do with you. Even if I told you that I could protect you no matter what, even if the Seven Deadly Sins spread across the entire Heaven Origin Realm, you still would not be able to ignore this matter, right?"
"As expected, my disciple understands me best. I am very pleased."
Xiao Shou felt relieved, but he was still thinking about how to explain the source of his information.
At the very least, he needed to spread the details he had told Fu Young, such as the name Seven Deadly Sins, that it was a mutated plant, and that the Source of Profound Ice could suppress and seal it.
That way, even if Fu Young deliberately investigated the matter, he would only find the same answers.
In the vast cultivation world, distance and time differences were nothing significant.
Xiao Shou planned to spread the information soon, but of course he could not do it with his current appearance.
Feeling a bit guilty, after speaking, he began planning his next move in his mind.
With Fu Young’s intelligence, how could he fail to notice Xiao Shou’s distraction?
Fu Young felt truly helpless and he could only say, "Master can do as you wish. There is only one condition. You must not do anything that endangers your life. If you cannot promise that, then I will truly be angry. When I get angry, it is terrifying. Even I am afraid of myself."
This was not an exaggeration.
High above in the sky, Fu Young looked at the vast hollowed out land beneath him.
Thinking about how his master had almost been suppressed yesterday had enraged him.
Although he had warned his master, when he fought the giant race, the mere thought of it caused his power to surge uncontrollably and directly erasing most of the savage plains.
Even he felt uneasy and fearful of such power.
He worried that one day he might lose control and harm the person most important to him.
At the same time, he felt confused about the Heavenly Dao.
Why did it seem to be endlessly increasing his strength while constantly tempting him to use this destructive power?
Was it determined to manipulate him into creating that so called path of destruction and creation and forcing him onto a predetermined fate before it would stop?
A fate controlled by others was ridiculous.
Harming the person most important to him was even more unforgivable.
