Chapter 1603: The Underworld Dao Flower

Flowers of all types of colors grew between the dark heaven and earth, releasing the most dazzling and vibrant light.

It was exactly because of these flowers that the Opposite Shore Realm didn’t appear to be so bland and boring.

“I feel like there is a very special energy fluctuation here,” Tina said.

“Really… These flowers are quite peculiar in appearance, but there doesn’t appear to be anything else special about them…” An Lin unleashed his divine sense to survey his surroundings, but he did not make any discoveries.

Tina wrinkled her tiny nose as if she was trying to sniff something out as they traversed through the flowers.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan could only follow along. They were also quite curious about what Tina had discovered.

All of the strange flowers of the Opposite Shore Realm had one common characteristic, and that was that all of them glowed.

An Lin traversed through a sea of flowers, which was also a sea of light.

There were black stems, faintly glowing leaves, vibrant and enticing flower petals, and bursts of fragrant scents… In conjunction with that, there were also scents that would make one lose control over their senses, lethal poisonous pollen, heaven and earth illusionary formations… This was a beautiful yet lethal place!

Living beings with normal cultivation bases would most likely instantly lose themselves should they accidentally stumble into this sea of flowers. They would then wander around with no sense of direction until they died and became compost for the flowers.

Of course, An Lin could easily see through the illusionary formations here.

Tina was quite intimate with nature, and she saw something different.

“There!” Tina exclaimed.

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan hurried over before their eyes widened in unison.

“What… what the hell is this?”

An Lin was a little shocked.

There was a flower that was about as tall as half a grown man standing before them.

All of its flower petals were quite smooth, like mushrooms. However, that was not the important thing here. What was really worthy of note was that there were all types of expressions on those mushrooms!

Some of the mushroom flower petals were smiling toothy smiles, revealing a few white teeth that appeared to be real. There were also enraged expressions, bawling expressions with tears dripping down the flower petals, smiling expressions, and even shy expressions with blushing petals…

An Lin could see all types of extremely life-like emotions on these flower petals.

“This is the special thing you were talking about?” Xu Xiaolan was intrigued.

She couldn’t sense any energy fluctuations from that flower, so it seemed to her like this was just a rather outlandish flower…

“This thing looks like it would be fun to take with us and fool around with.” An Lin was also quite intrigued.

The flower seemed to have heard what An Lin said, and some of its petals revealed shy expressions, some of them were extremely enraged, and there were even some with scornful expressions spitting out globules of nectar at An Lin.

An Lin pressed a finger to the nectar that had been spat on his face before licking his finger, upon which a smile appeared on his face. “That’s really sweet!”

Xu Xiaolan’s lips twitched.

Tina also turned toward her Master with a disdainful expression.

An Lin remained unfazed as he turned to Tina. “Are you going to tell us what’s so special about this flower now? Don’t tell me it’s just a flower that looks weird!”

Tina shook her head with a smile, and her emerald eyes were particularly bright with excitement. “Master, we’ve really struck the jackpot by encountering this flower!”

“Oh? What could make you this excited?” An Lin’s interest had been piqued.

Tina was a Goddess of Creation with extremely high standards. In the holy land of the Divine Mirror World, she was basically constantly nibbling on spirit fruits as snacks. Even immortal-rank exotic treasures wouldn’t draw much of a reaction from her, so just what was this flower to make Tina this excited?

The semi-transparent wings on Tina’s back flapped as she landed lightly on one of the mushroom-like petals.

The petal she had landed on instantly became enraged as it bared its teeth with a dark expression, as if it was gritting its teeth in fury.

“It looks like Xiao Hong with that expression.” Xu Xiaolan was amused.

Tina extended a tiny hand and gently caressed the flower.

Not only was that one flower petal infuriated now, but even the other ninety-eight flower petals also became furious at the same time, as if to say, “Unhand me at once!”

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan were both quite amused.

A series of golden lines began to appear on Tina’s forehead, all of which exuded an indescribable sense of divine power, as if they had been carved by a paramount god.

The lines created a peculiar divine symbol.

In that instant, Tina’s aura completely transformed.

It was as if she had transcended beyond this world, as if heaven and earth lay in her palm, and she could flip the world on its head with a flip of her hand.

An Lin really was astonished this time. “I’ve only sensed this type of aura from the Daoist Trinity and Nuwa before… Wait, no, I’ve also sensed this from the Tai Chu Continent in the Divine Mirror World. But… this is the Tai Chu Continent…”

Xu Xiaolan was also very surprised. “Could it be that Little Na can already wield God of Creation Stage power?”

Even An Lin and Xu Xiaolan had been awestruck by Tina’s aura, so the mushroom flower was naturally frightened as well.

All of the flower petals revealed expressions of shock and horror at the same time as they converged to form a red ball before detaching themselves from their stem and rolling into the distance!

However, in the next instant, Tina materialized a large vital energy hand to grasp the round ball as a smile appeared on her face. “Heehee, have you finally revealed your true form, Underworld Dao Flower?”

The round ball trembled uncontrollably in the vital energy hand and did not say anything.

“Underworld Dao Flower?” An Lin was dumbstruck.

Xu Xiaolan finally discovered that something was amiss after the flower revealed its true form, and her expression also shifted drastically. “This thing’s aura has suddenly become extremely deep and profound, and it can also borrow on the dao of heaven and earth to conceal its power…”

Tina stroked the red ball and nodded with a smile. “Immortal-rank treasures are blessed by heaven and earth and are extremely rare and exotic treasures. Divine-rank treasures resonate with heaven and earth and even more exceedingly rare even across the entire Tai Chu Continent. This Underworld Dao Flower is a paramount treasure, which contains an independent dao. Ordinary plants will have a certain chance of coming to life after living long enough. However, this Underworld Dao Flower has attained dao after living for countless years…

“If it weren’t for the fact that I am a Goddess of Creation and am extremely sensitive to the dao of heaven and earth, I might seriously have been fooled by its mundane outward appearance and missed the hidden dao intent imbued within its body!

“It’s most likely only one step away from transcending its tribulation to the Dao Integration Stage…”

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan each drew a sharp intake of breath as their eyes widened. They then stared blankly at the red ball in Tina’s vital energy hand.

This mushroom flower was going to attempt Dao Integration?!

They had thought that Xiao Hong was enough of a freak already after attaining her power of the divine dao just from sunbathing, but this mushroom flower was even more insane!

It had attained its own dao and was trying to silently attempt to progress to the Dao Integration Stage here?!
