Heart of Plants

Crack
Furthermore, after a short while, the ice that had formed transformed into ice figures about the height of a person.
They emanated an extreme coldness, seemingly capable of freezing even the divine powers of those at the Dharma Form stage.
Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, and Qian Mengchen were all shocked.
They did not expect this mere ice man to have such strength.
Jiang Chengxuan looked at Qian Mengchen, the square-faced man, and the others.
“Fairy Mengchen, and Daoist Donghai, we will take care of these ice figures.
As for navigating the island, we’ll have to trouble you and the others.” Hearing Jiang Chengxuan’s words, both Qian Mengchen and Daoist Donghai nodded in agreement.
“Please be assured, Fellow Daoist Jiang. Leave the navigation of the island to us,” QianMengchen responded.
With Qian Mengchen’s assurance, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan no longer hesitated.
Behind the two of them, their respective Dharma Forms immediately appeared.
There was a loud bang.
The ice men that condensed on the island seemed to have encountered some extremely terrifying attack.
In just a moment, all the ice figures shattered.
However, quickly, the shattered ice figures reformed, and their strength seemed even stronger than before.
Seeing this situation, Qian Mengchen immediately seemed to realize something.
Her pretty face changed slightly.
“This is not good! We must have taken the wrong direction, let’s change course immediately.”
Hearing her, Daoist Donghai and the others also realized the situation.
Without a word, they immediately adjusted their Dharmic power, changing the direction.
Whoosh—
As Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan shattered the last ice figure, the temperature around them began to slowly rise.
The frost covering the ground also gradually started to melt.
Seeing this, everyone present couldn’t help but reveal a look of surprise.
“It seems our previous speculation was indeed correct.
As long as we remain in the correct direction, similar situations will disappear. Conversely, if we deviate significantly from the correct path, the obstacles we encounter will become increasingly powerful.”
Subsequently, Jiang Chengxuan and his group encountered several more troubles.
Once, they faced a sea of fire, and another time, a sky full of destructive yellow sand that could disperse a cultivator’s Primordial Spirit and body.
Similar to the earlier ice figures, resembling enemies also appeared on their island during these trials.
Fortunately, with Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s sufficient strength, along with Qian Mengchen and the others’ quick responses, no real danger ensued.
Two days later, as they progressed through the sea, Jiang Chengxuan and the others suddenly noticed the fog in front of them thinning.
Vaguely, they seemed to see a gigantic island comparable to a continent, dotted with various immortal herbs and spiritual flowers.
The rich essence of Primordial Spiritual Qi felt almost tangible, invigorating Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Qian Mengchen, and the others.
“Could that be our destination, the central island, up ahead?” Daoist Qian Donghai couldn’t help but speak up.
Hearing his words, everyone felt a stir in their hearts.
At this moment, a message suddenly appeared in their ears. “Congratulations to all for completing the second trial. Those who wish to leave now may do so.
If no one chooses to depart, please proceed to the next round, which is the third trial.”
After this message, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Qian Mengchen, and the others exchanged glances.
Clearly, none of them intended to leave just yet.
At that moment, they suddenly felt something appear in their hands. Looking down, they each found a vibrant, clover-like object.
This item exuded a fresh, natural feeling, and seemed to contain an extremely rich essence of plant life.
Just as Jiang Chengxuan and the others were puzzled, a piece of information appeared in their minds again.
“This item is known as the Heart of Plants, a top-tier treasure of the wood element.
Your third trial involves collecting these Hearts of Plants.
Each person must collect ten Hearts of Plants to proceed to the next round of trials.”
Upon hearing the message about the trial, the eyes of Jiang Chengxuan and the others sharpened slightly.
Collect the Hearts of Plants?
Were they expected to go to the central island and collect these Hearts of Plants?
Jiang Chengxuan and his companions exchanged glances once more, each seeing a serious expression in the others eyes.
If the third trial indeed required them to enter the central island to collect the Hearts of Plants, the potential dangers could far exceed those of the previous two trials.
No one could guarantee what level of danger lay hidden within the central island.
Most importantly, by this time, individuals from various regions must be converging on the central island.
Once everyone entered the central island, encounters were inevitable. Not to mention other factors, just the competition for the Hearts of Plants alone could lead to conflicts.
Jiang Chengxuan and his group felt this was bound to happen.
After all, the message did not specify that participants could not contest each other for the Hearts of Plants.
“It seems we all need to be careful moving forward,”
Jiang Chengxuan said, looking towards Qian Mengchen and the others. “Let’s enter the central island together first and assess the situation.
If the Hearts of Plants prove difficult to find, we may have to consider splitting up temporarily.”
Qian Mengchen and the others nodded in agreement with Jiang Chengxuan’s suggestion.
They were well aware that if the Hearts of Plants were indeed hard to find, splitting up could potentially be more efficient than staying together.
The only issue was that individual safety would undoubtedly decrease once they separated, but that was a risk they had to accept.
Having chosen to come here and not leave beforehand, they had to be prepared for any situation.
Soon, Jiang Chengxuan, Shen Ruyan, Qian Mengchen, and the others stepped onto the central island as their island fully connected with it, without any hesitation.
Swoosh!
However, the moment their feet touched the ground of the central island, two beams of light, one red and one yellow, suddenly shot towards Jiang Chengxuan and the others.
