Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 251 Seed of Origin - Eternal Life Lotus
After passing through the corridor, everyone entered an extremely spacious front palace.

This palace made of white jade is extremely smooth, and the floor and walls can clearly reflect people's shadows.

The pillars of the palace are so thick that it takes four people to hug each one.

There is a very conspicuous stone platform in this empty hall.

On the stone platform stands a crystal clear pink-green lotus, which exudes a charming fragrance when you approach it.

"This is……"

Fang Gu was somewhat surprised and somewhat sad: "I'm afraid we can't find the way forward. This lotus seems to be the lotus of immortality. Ancient teachings say that when the lotus of immortality dies, the bridge leading to the altar will appear."

"Eternal Lotus?"

Xu Shen suddenly remembered the three immortal creatures that Yong Zun had mentioned to him.

Is this the immortal flower?

Whether it is true or not, it is hard for Xu Shen not to be touched when thinking about the legend of the ancient king's pursuit of immortality.

"Is this flower unkillable?"

Some villagers asked curious questions.

Fang Gu sighed and said, "You can try."

The villagers stepped forward and tore this flower, which looked like the most exquisite work of art, into pieces in a few seconds.

"It's not very light..."

Before he could finish his words, the villagers looked on in amazement as they saw the fallen flowers floating back to the stone platform and returning to their original state.

"I just don't believe this!"

The villagers were not convinced and started to eat the lotus voraciously.

However, with a burp, streams of green-pink light flew out of his mouth and nose, and the flower returned to its original state.

It is blooming quietly on that quaint stone platform, as if the passage of time and the vicissitudes of life cannot shake it in the slightest, allowing it to admire its own beauty, immortal and indestructible!

"According to ancient teachings, the Eternal Life Flower is difficult to destroy with its forbidden spell. It is one of the most powerful creatures in the world." Fang Gu said with a wry smile, "I really don't know how to go on."

Xu Shen looked around at the remaining twenty or so villagers who were looking at each other in bewilderment, and knew that it was impossible to rely on them.

As for classmate Ding Yumian, if she had a way, she would have used it long ago.

"Let me try."

Xu Shen approached the stone platform.

In fact, he was also worried, wondering whether the method of the Seed of Origin he got from the old monk in Mogao Cave would work.

This is a secret method that can only be used by plant magic.

The general principle is to cultivate the seed of origin and integrate it into the plant stardust. From then on, the two are intertwined, and every plant magic used will carry the characteristics of the seed of origin.

Even more, every plant-based magic will be enhanced by the power of the Seed of Origin, and its effect is somewhat similar to the famous Divine Seal Praise of the Parthenon.

The more powerful the Seed of Origin is, the stronger the power of the blessing will naturally be.

Moreover, the Seed of Origin can only succeed in an extremely pure plant galaxy that has not been fused with other plant species.

When Xu Shen awakened the plant element, the first thing he thought of was the Little Evil Sword.

That indestructible body really makes up for the biggest shortcoming of the plant system.

But if it is integrated into plant species, the plant magic that is supposed to be ever-changing may lose its agility and ingenuity.

Moreover, he was very good at using the Little Evil Sword and was a little reluctant to part with it.

This is also the reason why he has not made up his mind to integrate it into the seed of origin.

Now, this Eternal Life Lotus made Xu Shen's eyes light up.

If its property of destruction and recovery is given to every plant magic, even if the effect will be discounted, but if it can really be integrated.

Just imagine, a Kun Forest Prison went down, trying its best to cut off these magic vines, and in the blink of an eye, another one grew up...

The picture is so beautiful that I can’t even imagine it.

Xu Shen sat cross-legged, his soul left his body, and he slowly moved the tiny piece of plant stardust towards the Lotus of Eternal Life.

The magic given to him by the nine natural stars has different effects.

For example, the light system has a stronger restraining effect on dark creatures, and the summoning system can subtly enhance the potential of contracted beasts.

His plant-based magic is naturally no exception.

A senior professor of botany at Mingzhu University said that the vigorous vitality seems to be extremely attractive to any plant species.

This effect may seem insignificant, but it is actually very practical.

The old professor said that the biggest difference between plant magic and elemental magic is that plant seeds are growable and their exclusivity is not as strong as elemental seeds.

As the name suggests, even the most ordinary mortal species has the potential to grow into a soul species or even a heavenly species.

The exclusivity is not strong, which means that a plant mage can absorb multiple plant species.

Ideally, from the beginner level to the forbidden spell, each level can fuse a seed, up to 5 plant seeds can be fused, and each seed can give plant magic a different effect. But this is only an ideal state. The exclusivity of plant seeds is not as strong as that of elemental seeds, which does not mean that they are weak.

There are tens of thousands of plant species in this world, but too many of them can't be put into one pot.

However, in order to pursue the maximum flexibility of plant magic, most plant magicians tend to combine plant species with extremely different properties.

However, the more greedy one is, the more mutual exclusivity between plant species will become.

Plant species are spiritual, and once fused, they cannot be replaced as easily as elemental species. Throughout history, there have been many examples of plant mages encountering extremely good seeds and having to give them up reluctantly because their temperaments were incompatible with the plant species they had been fused with.

But Xu Shen had no such concerns.

Especially the characteristics of the Lotus of Eternal Life, which seemed to be able to blend perfectly with any plant-based magic.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was simply a godsend.

Now, it depends on whether the old monk’s secret method is effective.

It is not easy to fuse one's own spirit seed.

In order to prevent the body from being unable to withstand the tremendous energy, several mages proficient in healing are usually needed to protect it.

But due to limited conditions, he could only take the risk and give it a try.

On the stone platform, the enchanting lotus swayed gently, and the faint fragrance was refreshing.

Xu Shen's original spirit merged with the lotus of eternal life.

The tiny green stardust in his palm merged into the lotus heart.

Xu Shen's soul was struggling, and the plant-type stardust was still very weak, facing the Lotus of Eternal Life was like a snake swallowing an elephant.

But fortunately, his soul cultivation was strong enough to barely withstand this kind of pull.

Perhaps it was because of his special plant-based magic that the Lotus of Eternal Life accepted him so easily.

Xu Shen felt its intelligence, ignorance, and innocence, like a blank piece of paper that could be painted on at will.

It seems that this poor Eternal Lotus has been in this tomb palace since birth and has never seen the world.

But it’s also good this way. The Lotus of Eternal Life has a mind comparable to that of a baby, which is the best news for Xu Shen.

Suddenly, a vast amount of life energy surged into the body.

Like a tiny fish, being blown into the raging ocean ravaged by a category twelve hurricane.

Duckweed is swaying.

Fish drowned.

The feeling of powerlessness and suffocation made Xu Shen instinctively want to recall his soul again and again, but once he gave up, all his efforts would be wasted.

Xu Shen smiled bitterly. He could never have imagined that the biggest obstacle preventing him from fusing the Seed of Origin was actually this extremely precious life essence.

It is extremely difficult to overcome the instinct of life.

Having lived two lives, Xu Shen is stronger after all.

Time and time again, he repeatedly resisted the urge to withdraw from the Lotus of Eternal Life.

The majestic life force is running rampant in the body.

My heart was pounding like the fastest drumbeat.

Blood vessels burst and repaired.

The meridians are broken and regenerated.

This almost infinite life force brought him outrageous, life-threatening torture.

The last time I experienced this feeling was when I absorbed the seeds of the calamity in the Sussili Desert.

In a moment, Xu Shen was already a bloody man.

The intense pain rushed straight into the spiritual world.

The body of the soul was trembling slightly.

His mind was no longer clear.

He gritted his teeth and forced himself to practice Qi Refining to subdue this brutal and unruly force.

Since it worked last time.

Then this time, it will definitely work!
Over and over again, more and more life essence was captured by him, and he wandered along the predetermined path with difficulty...

I don't know how many times this happened.

Xu Shen was feeling lucky.

Fortunately, the energy he absorbed was life essence which was of great benefit to the human body.

If it is energy of some other attribute.

Maybe I can't make it through this stage at all.
