Chapter 2249 Skillful Separation
Every living thing wanted to try on "living" even if it meant risking it all. And these were immortal plants that could actually develop intelligence too. As such it was normal for them to give a reaction like this.
But despite that, the result seemed to be unlike what the Crown Princess had intended.
"It still hasn"t given up on the Null Iron Chunk." Crown Princess Shang said in disbelief.
Ten minutes had pa.s.sed since she had been using the Green Shang Lure and yet, the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus had not detached its roots from the Null Iron Chunk. They were deeply and firmly embedded into the pores of the chunk.
No matter how much the Crown Princess tried to coax the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus it just would not yield.
~SIGH~
"I"ve never seen a more stubborn plant as this before." Crown Princess Shang let out a sigh. "Should we just cut it then?" Ziran asked. "Considering its size, you can still stabilize it after that, right?" he inquired.
"I should be able to. But then again I have never dealt with a Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus before. Considering how hard they are to grow, I don"t know if I"ll be able to manage." Crown Princess Shang expressed her doubts.
"Is there no other way?" Ziran wondered.
Lin Mu furrowed his brows as he glanced at the Null Iron Chunk for a bit.
"I think… I might just be able to do it." Lin Mu suddenly spoke.
"You do!?" Crown Princess Shang asked in surprise.
"Yeah." Lin Mu nodded. "I didn"t do it at the lake earlier since it would have been risky, but I should be able to do it here." He added.
"Try it then." Crown Princess Shang asked. "If it doesn"t work, we"ll have to cut its roots anyways." She added.
"Alright." Lin Mu nodded his head.
~HUU~
He took a deep breath and extended his hand towards the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus. His spatial perception was active and tried to get an accurate image of the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus.
He observed each and every tiny root and the beds that they took though the hundreds of pores. With how densely packed the roots were and the pores being like a maze, it took Lin Mu a few minutes to get the sense of it.
But after he did, Lin Mu began his work.
~HUALA~
Strong waves of energy rolled off his body, as the group for wary.
"This… Spatial Fluctuations?" Monk Hushu recognized.
"They"re really strong too." Crown Prince Feng Shun spoke. "It"s almost as strong as a major teleportation array being activated." He stated.
"Is Daoist Mu Lin using Teleportation on the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus?" Daoist Chu wondered. "But without any stabilizing arrays?" he was curious as to how Lin Mu would pull it off.
"Let"s wait and watch." Lady Kang stated. "I"m sure he"s confident in being able to do it." She said.
And a few seconds after she did that, they all saw movement.
~HUALA~
The entire Null Iron Chunk along with the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus started to rise in the air.
"Huh? He"s lifting it without touching it?" Crown Princess Shang was intrigued. They knew of many skills that could do this, and Crown princes Feng Shun himself could do this with wind elemental immortal Qi too. But the way Lin Mu was doing it was quite different.
"The Spatial fluctuations are closely bound to the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus and the Null Iron ore." Ziran watched closely.
"He isn"t just lifting the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus and the Null Iron ore… He"s moving the s.p.a.ce itself." Monk Hushu"s eyes went wide.
It was at this moment that Lin Mu uttered a word.
"Meld!" As soon as he did that, the Spatial Fluctuations intensified, making the group take a step back.
Even though they knew there was no threat to them, it was still a bit overwhelming to them.
"It"s… Splitting apart!?" Crown Princess Shang"s eyes went wide.
The group watched as the Null Iron ore chunk started to be split apart into smaller chunks. The same happened with the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus"s roots as they turned into smaller segments.
~WUWUWUWWUU~ The plant was startled by this and was shaking nonstop. And yet the spatial energy surrounding it moved perfectly in sync.
If one looked at it from afar, it looked like the objects were "coated" in Spatial energy now.
Every millimeter that the plant moved, the Spatial fluctuations moved by it. This was not as simple as just the Spatial fluctuation being "stuck" to the plant, as that would result in a vastly different result.
The plant would likely be cut apart if that happened as the Spatial Fluctuations would be harmful for it.
But Lin Mu was able to move the Spatial Fluctuations exactly as the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus moved, preventing them from colliding and causing it harm.
It took a skill that was beyond the common caliber and took a lot of effort to reach it. Lady Kang, Ziran, Crown Prince Feng Shun and Monk Hushu could see the intricate control and deep proficiency one would need for it.
Daoist Chu couldn"t tell this since he was having a hard time pinpointing the spread of the Spatial Fluctuations, thus he didn"t see the same level of depth. But he could also tell that this was no simple task.
A minute later, the Null Iron Chunks had been separated out into multiple smaller chunks and the same could be said for the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus. "How"s the plant still moving despite being cut apart?" The group was confused.
It now looked like both the objects had been chopped into hundreds of pieces. They were floating in the air but still seemed to be "alive".
They had a lot of questions in their mind and wished to ask Lin Mu, but knew this was not the time to disturb him. They watched patiently, knowing that Lin Mu would soon be done.
