Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Water Fails to Overcome Fire!

Lu Chen swung his spear, the sharp tip neatly slicing through a patch of withered grass.

However, as the spear passed, it merely bent those blades of grass.

When the spear had moved by, the withered grass returned to its original state, standing upright once more.

"These grasses..."

Lu Chen immediately furrowed his brow.

Although he had not exerted his full strength in that spear thrust, he had still infused it with Spiritual Power.

The result was that he couldn’t even break this swath of withered grass, which was quite inconceivable!

Lu Chen had not only used Spiritual Power, but he was also utilizing the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique.

He couldn’t see anything unusual about these withered grasses!

His thrust was simply intended to startle any hidden beasts, nothing more.

But the reality made him quite incredulous.

"Truly, this Abyss is mysterious!"

Lu Chen rested his long spear by his side, no longer rushing forward, and instead lifted his gaze to the sky.

When he was with the Lu Family, Qin Yaotiao had occasionally planted some flowers and grass in front of the thatched cottage, and Lu Chen had asked curiously about the arrangement of these plants.

Qin Yaotiao had explained with a smile that plants need to absorb light to grow normally.

In the Abyss, the trees grew in strange and bizarre shapes, so Lu Chen hadn’t thought much of it.

But here, there was light and yet these strange withered grasses grew.

Could it be that these withered grasses are related to the light here?

Yet even as Lu Chen stood there for a long time, he couldn’t make any discoveries, which once again raised doubts in his mind.

As soon as he had arrived here, he had noticed something off about the light source.

It looked like the moon, but as if a half-transparent black veil were covering it.

"Could it be due to the air here?"

A thought struck Lu Chen, and he slightly withdrew his focus, turning his attention to the air around him.

"There’s Spiritual Energy here as well, and it’s much denser than in the rest of the Abyss... Could it be because there’s too much Spiritual Energy?"

He muttered to himself, taking another long look.

At that moment, he finally noticed something amiss!

"Although these plants aren’t Spirit Plants, ordinary plants also belong to the Wood Attribute, and there’s Wood Spirit Qi, but Metal Element Qi is much less. Could it be that Metal Spirit Power is related to plants? And also... there is more Fire Spirit Power?"

Fire overcomes Metal, could it be that the abundance of Fire Spirit Power is what caused these grasses to grow so oddly?

Having identified the difference, Lu Chen decided to try again.

Fire overcomes Metal, and Water overcomes Fire!

Since there was Water Spirit Qi in the air, Lu Chen controlled the Dantian within his body, which resembled a Five-Color Wheel, slowly turning it into Water Spirit Power, which then surged out from his palm!

Under his command, that Water Spirit Power fell onto a withered flower in front of him!

"Hiss—"

Where the Spirit Power touched, it turned entirely into mist, then started to spread upwards!

The sensation was like pouring a bucket of water on fire!

"Water overcomes Fire, logically I don’t have to deal with the entire grassland, so why can’t I change even one grass?"

The rolling mist, carrying some heat, struck Lu Chen’s face.

It’s not that it could harm him, but it was particularly uncomfortable.

Lu Chen calmed himself, thinking carefully, "If there’s an abundance of Water Element Qi in the air, then the issue shouldn’t be with the Water Element. But Metal Element Qi is scarce. Could it mean there is a problem with Metal Spirit Power? Since that’s the case, I’ll try supplementing it with some Metal Spirit Power and see!"

Water overcomes Fire, but Lu Chen’s use of Water Spirit Power did nothing. After the mist disappeared and the Water Spirit Power was completely exhausted, no change occurred.

If that’s the case, he would then try using Multi Spirit Power!

Fire overcomes Metal, and there was several times more Fire Spirit Qi in the air than Metal Spirit Qi, which could be the reason for the abnormality here!

Not knowing what dangers the secret realm might hold, Lu Chen didn’t dare to act rashly.

He took a deep breath and once again controlled the Five-Colored Qi Sea within him, bringing forth Metal Spirit Power, and remotely directed it toward the withered flower.

This time, there was no sound, nor any abnormalities.

However, after being infused with Spirit Power, the flower started to turn green from the stem and leaves, slowly!

These were the flower’s original colors!

The crisp green extended upward, reaching the flower bud, which turned into a delightful purple...

A purple flower, this must be its true form, right?

Lu Chen was delighted and instinctively wanted to pick it for a closer look.

He hadn’t expected an abrupt change!
