Fortunately, he did not lose the Graceful Spiritual Bow as it still hung on his arm. Qin Wushuang calculated carefully that there were at least three or four hundred tree vines that had wrapped around his body.
These three or four hundred branches were like three or four hundred Supreme Dao arms that pulled him tightly. It was no wonder that no matter how much he exerted his strength to break free, there was not the slightest reaction to it.
When one Supreme Dao elite warrior was facing the power of three or four hundred Supreme Dao warriors, naturally there was nothing one could do.
Qin Wushuang did not wish to waste his physical strength and instead, he perceived the subtle traits of these tree vines. He discovered that in the end, the Hibiscus Wood showcased differences between themselves.
There were about a dozen trees that wrapped his body. They were much bigger than the other trees. Additionally, they were divine trees that had reached the Supreme Dao Stage.


Clearly, the other Hibiscus Wood were much less strong and only used as extra support for the more powerful trees. To Qin Wushuang, they were not much of a threat.
However, these trees regardless of their strength had many branches. Each spiritual tree had at least a few dozen vine-like branches that displayed terrifying twisting power.
Unless Qin Wushuang could take down these few dozen spiritual trees at once, it would be extremely difficult to break free.
Fortunately, the sense of invasion and ill intent from these spiritual trees was not present. Although they had trapped Qin Wushuang, they had not launched any fatal attacks.
Despite this case, that form of continuous power caused Qin Wushuang’s body to feel the greatest impact. Unconsciously, Qin Wushuang used his dragon breath throughout his entire body to resist them with his divine power.
In the later half of the night, Qin Wushuang realized that regardless of how he urged his power, he could not suppress the power of these dozen spiritual trees in the end.
Although the power of these spiritual trees were invading through a gentle and steady progression, in this case, they still formed a significant threat to Qin Wushuang as they layered on top of one another.

What do I do?
Qin Wushuang thought even though he was not in a panic. Through the initial struggle, he had become completely clear-headed.
Now, he was considering how to get out of here. Heaven never completely bars one’s way. He believed that there would certainly be a way out. It only depended on whether or not he could find it.

Wait for the main dragon force to come? That would take at least three or five days. In these three or five days, who could be sure of no other unexpected events? Also, it’s not very ideal to let people of the dragon race see me in this embarrassing state. Most importantly, the Graceful Spiritual Bow is hanging on my arm. Now, it’s not easy for me to put it away. If the first person that found me was not my acquaintance and had ulterior motives, that would be the most unideal situation. I am a living target right now. If an enemy is to come here to kill me, I am afraid there would be no hesitation.



Choosing to sit and wait for one’s death was of course, something Qin Wushuang would not do.

It also seems somewhat impossible to rely on my own power to break free of these restraints! Unless my power increases violently, I would only have a trace of hope if I enter the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. This is clearly impossible. Not to mention how one needs to go through nine calamities from the Coagulate Supreme Dao Stage to the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. Without these nine tests, the breakthrough throughout the Supreme Dao Stage will not be achieved in a short period of time.

This possibility could also be completely discarded. Qin Wushuang organized all of the different possibilities one after the other. He first discarded those that seemed infeasible.

I guess Mia Jia was right. If I knew this could happen, it would not have been a bad thing to bring her here. As long as one of the two could have had an arm or foot free, we would get out. After all, although the attack power of this vine is powerful, it doesn’t have strong defense power.

Qin Wushuang knew profoundly the characteristics of the Hibiscus Wood.

Mi Jia?
In the midst of a sudden reaction, Qin Wushuang remembered something. Just what was it?
Instantly, Qin Wushuang felt that thought was floating on top of his head, yet he could not grab it.

What clue could come from Mi Jia?
Qin Wushuang grabbed onto this thought tightly and did not let it slip away.
Ai Simo? At such a far distance, without the communication jade plate, it would clearly not be possible to let them know. Although I have the communication jade plate, I cannot activate it as my hands and feet are tied.

Initially when he departed, he left Ai Simo next to Mi Jia. Now it seems to have been a great miscalculation.
Since his hands and feet were bound, he could not even make hand signs. Of course, spiritual perception and other tools were completely useless. If not, it would not have posed as much trouble at all: he could have just taken out the sealed scroll and summon the sealed spiritual beast.


Qin Wushuang felt extremely helpless as he thought,
It’s my fault for holding such prejudice against that sorceress. If she were here, of course Ai Simo would have come too. Even if that sorceress Mi Jia was tied up, Mo’Er has a tiny and nimble body, certainly she could have gotten out. If Mo’Er did not get tied, surely she could help me out of this crisis.


That Fire Kylin, on the other hand, is too scared of the Golden Crow. Surely he would not have come. Fire Kylin, that’s right, it’s Fire Kylin! Fire Kylin, is the accompanying protecting beast of that Scarlet Fire…


Yes, Scarlet Fire… I can absorb its soul, refine it, and form the Scarlet Fire Soul. This Hibiscus Wood is the immemorial spiritual tree. Can I not absorb its soul and essence and then refine it into a spiritual wood soul? That’s right, that’s the case!

As he thought here, instantly Qin Wushuang was able to achieve a thorough understanding. Instantly, he was entirely free from worry. He knew that his method would work for sure.
Since he could absorb the Scarlet Fire, why would he not able to absorb the spiritual wood essence of the Hibiscus Wood?
The Deep North Skill could absorb anything, even the heavens and the earth. Initially Mi Jia was jealous because she thought that Qin Wushuang’s talent with the fire attribute was higher than hers as he only took three days to refine the fire soul.
She didn’t know that although Qin Wushuang possessed high talent with the fire attribute, he also benefited from the Deep North Skill when he did the absorption.
Without the help of this great skill, it would not have been that fast for him to absorb the fire soul.
Thinking here, Qin Wushuang did not hesitate and he started to activate the Deep North Skill regularly and thoroughly. With this try, indeed Qin Wushuang sensed a surge of subtle power that he dragged directly into his Dantian.

Ha ha, it’s really like this. I am getting thrown into chaos in the midst of the chaos. In the past, if my enemy used their weapon to approach my body, I used the Deep North Skill to resist it. Now that my enemies have turned into trees, how could I have forgotten about this Deep North Skill?
Qin Wushuang was overjoyed for he knew inwardly that he had a prejudice mindset. He thought that the Deep North Skill was a technique to absorb the power of others, yet he didn’t think that during training, the Deep North Skill was favored by nature when absorbing spiritual Qi from heavenly nature.


During his lifetime, Qin Wushuang had already improved this Deep North Skill many times. In terms of absorption power, it was numerous times more powerful than in the previous world.
Following the increasing strength of Qin Wushuang, this skill itself also changed with the overall trend. After being combined with the Coagulated Sword Skill, in fact the absorption route of this Deep North Skill was the operational route for the Coagulated Sword Skill.
Therefore, to Qin Wushuang, it was a walk in the park.
Upon activating the Deep North Skill, instantly it showcased an extraordinary scene. Through his fingertips, the power from the trees kept rushing into his sea of Dantian.
When treating the power of this vine with a different method, indeed the result was an utterly different extreme.
Initially, Qin Wushuang resisted the divine power with his dragon breath, yet he could not fight through the large number of vines. As three fists could not win against four hands, he emerged the regret of being heavily outnumbered.
Currently, when he changed his tactic to use the Deep North Skill to absorb it, it was as if a flood path had been unblocked, forming a beneficial guide to his continuous power. Now that the floodgates had opened, his tortured state was turned into complete enjoyment.
For your information, the wood attribute originally belonged to attributes of self care. To heal an injury, restore, re-model, and regenerate. This posed as a great advantage.
When Qin Wushuang was filled with this power through his entire body and Dantian, it was the equivalent of having the most pure wood power to forge his body and divine soul. The benefits could be known without speaking.
As his entire body became peaceful and smoothed out, Qin Wushuang almost wanted to cry out. Such a pleasant feeling was incomparable from what he had experienced in the past.


For the spiritual Hibiscus Wood, although they possessed spiritual perception and intelligence, in the end they were not human beings. Although power kept disappearing, they still extorted it diligently and at a neither slow nor fast pace.
For the time being, it was not like they were enemies from two different camps, but also close comrades having a battle. As Qin Wushuang gained the advantage, he did not let on to this fact.
He only kept quiet and enjoyed the benefit. He knew that as soon as the spiritual wood essence was completely refined, he could use it to form communication with the Hibiscus Wood to the extent that he could control them. In this case, not only would he be able to get out of the crisis in a short period of time, this entire Hibiscus Forest could develop into his territory!
…
Three days, he was hung for three whole days. Not only did Qin Wushuang not show any signs of withering, he was showing even fuller spirituality. His complexion was appearing to be incredibly good and he was filled with a thriving vitality.
Qin Wushuang contained a delighted feel in his chest. Because of his happiness, he wanted to celebrate, but he did not want to show any alarm to the trees as he needed the time to focus.
It was because he realized that exactly like when he was condensing the fire soul, it took almost three days for this spiritual wood essence to be condensed.
When three days were reached, vividly the spiritual wood essence was successfully harvested.
Qin Wushuang was not overly confident as he kept working hard. He continued to collect spiritual wood essence and guide it into his Dantian.
This was the last attack.
Bursts of green waves kept penetrating his Dantian through different arteries. It condensed the spiritual wood essence by surrounding Qin Wushuang’s divine soul.
…
At the same time, uninvited guests kept arriving one after the other outside the Rushing Current Valley. One, two, three…
Following the continuously increasing numbers, a dozen more people arrived. These people were all at the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. Although most of them were at the Second or Third of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, just one alone would have been insignificant. However, a dozen at the same time exhibited vast fame and power.
Even for an elite warrior at the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage, one would not dare to let down their guard before a dozen elite warriors of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage.
People kept gathering and in the end, there were only those at the Coagulate Supreme Dao Stage. In a moment, a few dozen of these people gathered outside the Hibiscus Forest.
Clearly, these people had tracked Qin Wushuang here. They also harbored the clear purpose of being here for the Graceful Spiritual Bow. It was also because their greed won against the fear of death, as they completely neglected the rumor of the Golden Crow.
