Chapter 158 Sun Sun Doesn't Want to Be Struck by Lightning

It's not surprising that rare treasures of heaven and earth can develop their own sentience.

After Xiao Xuan whispered something, the little bamboo shoot began to grow slowly.

After absorbing the power of the Heavenly Mystery, it grew to about one meter tall.

Xiao Xuan took out a large bucket of spiritual spring water from the wooden bead space and poured it next to the little bamboo shoot.

The little bamboo shoot quickly stretched out its roots to absorb all the spiritual spring water. After absorbing the water, it lazily let out a burp and grew another half meter taller.

The little bamboo shoot was overjoyed, shaking its golden leaves and humming softly.

The excitement only subsided after about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The little bamboo shoot rang out in a smug voice, "Do you know that two-legged beast outside?"

Xiao Xuan: "I am a human cultivator, not a two-legged beast."

Little Bamboo Shoot: "Humans who cultivate are just two-legged beasts."

Xiao Xuan: "..."

Xiao Xuan: "The person outside is my brother. We mean no harm and just stumbled upon this place."

Little Bamboo Shoot said in a pretentious tone, "Since you're all somewhat agreeable, I'll lend him a hand."

While Xiao Xuan was still pondering the meaning behind the little bamboo shoot's words, a golden light flew out of the little bamboo shoot's body, out of the bamboo forest, and into Xiao Yun's dantian.

The next moment, Xiao Yun, who was just one step away from forming his Dao Heart, finally achieved perfection, and a golden Dao Heart took shape in his dantian.

At the same time, a golden seed mark formed between Xiao Yun's eyebrows.

Thunderclouds gathered in the sky.

The little bamboo shoot exclaimed in surprise, "Oh dear, we're about to undergo a tribulation!"

"No, Sun Sun doesn't want to be struck by lightning."

The next instant, Xiao Yun and Xiao Xuan were thrown out of the valley barrier by the little bamboo shoot.

Along with the Dao Asking Sword.

System 006 was ignored by it.

However, since Xiao Xuan was no longer in the valley, System 006 naturally wouldn't stay there. It flapped its wings and, relying on its sense of Xiao Xuan, chased after him out of the valley.

Outside the valley, the land was vast, and Xiao Yun and Xiao Xuan were taken to an open space.

Before Xiao Xuan could land, a strong figure grabbed him by the waist and flew him to the side.

Yan Jiayu's deep voice, carrying a warm breath, brushed against Xiao Xuan's ear, his voice seductive: "Be good, don't move."

Xiao Xuan: "..."

Upon realizing it was Yan Jiayu, Xiao Xuan subconsciously relaxed his body and did not struggle.

Yan Jiayu smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing Yan Jiayu's frivolous behavior, Xiao Yun wanted nothing more than to draw his sword and beat him up.

Yan Jiayu noticed Xiao Yun's unfriendly gaze and gave him a provocative look.

System 006 flapped its wings, which were shimmering with seven colors, and landed on Xiao Xuan's shoulder.

System 006: "Ding, side quest twenty-one, assist Xiao Yun in generating the Dao Heart of Seeking the Dao, quest completed, reward points, current total points."

"Ding, the points reward has been sent to the host's system space. Please check it."

"Ding, side quest twenty-two: watering the ninth-grade mutated enlightenment bamboo. Quest completed. Reward: points. Current total points: points."

"Ding, the points reward has been sent to the host's system space. Please check it."

Xiao Xuan nodded. "Mm."

The depths of the Monster Forest were quiet.

The area where Xiao Yun and his group are currently staying is the territory of a Nascent Soul stage Flame Lion King.

The Flame Lion King was sunbathing on a mountaintop a few mountains away when he noticed dark clouds gathering and looked up at the mountaintop where Xiao Yun and the others were.

Sensing two powerful auras and a mysterious aura, it silently lay back down.

The Flame Lion King had already gained sentience and knew that it was no match for Xiao Yun and his group, so it decisively chose to ignore them.

It stuck out its tongue and licked the soft fur on its paws before falling asleep amidst the rumble of thunder.
