Since Mi JIa was unable to persuade Qin Wushuang, she could only stay quiet. Revealing a gloomy expression, she opened the map. “Young Qin, it’s your loss for not letting me go. Even though you are not heartless, you can’t be inconsiderate. Look closely, the Hibiscus Forest is here. Remember, you must watch your flying trajectory when you are to enter the Hibiscus Forest. Only this one route is a flying zone. If you do not enter with this trajectory, even if you are off the tiniest bit, most likely you will be swallowed by the many different mysterious whirlpools of the Hibiscus Forest. This is the most eastern part of the Tian Xuan Land and it has incredibly strange terrain. There are countless unknown traps and natural whirlpools that can’t be prevented.”

This time, Fire Kylin did not argue back out of the norm. Instead, it agreed. “Yes, Master, there are many whirlpools surrounding the Hibiscus Forest. It is rumored from the immemorial legends that this place is the crack place between the heavens and earth. It seems to have a strange magnetic field. Rumors say that those whirlpools are space cracks. Once you get rolled in by those cracks, even one at the Supreme Dao Stage will die certainly.”

Clearly, these two were not speaking frightening words to scare people. Qin Wushuang nodded and said, “Alright, I understand. I will not joke with my own life. You can just pray that I will not bump into the Golden Crow! As for the space cracks, I will be mindful.”

Fire Kylin repeatedly urged, “You must not go for speed excessively, each and every step you take must be careful. The absorbing whirlpools are really powerful. In the Rushing Current Valley, many spiritual beasts explore nearby the Hibiscus Forest, however about sixty to seventy percent of the spiritual beasts have been swallowed by those traps.”

‘”Young Qin, we are not joking with you. Unless you have the power to soar to the galaxia, if you get sucked into one, you will surely die! Even for elite warriors of the Genuine Supreme Dao, they won’t have more than a thirty-percent survival rate inside the space whirlpool. Not more than ten-percent for Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors. Those at the Coagulate Supreme Dao will die for sure. Only the Heavenly Supreme Dao warriors that can soar to the galaxy, who can completely surpass the rules of land. Do you understand?”

Qin Wushuang was feeling apprehensive inwardly as he nodded and laughed. “Don’t scare me anymore, I know it in my heart. In general, I will be extra careful. Just wait for my good news.”

After he left this island, Qin Wushuang headed east. He flew following the direction pointed out by Mi Jia. At nightfall, Qin Wushuang had already arrived near the legendary Hibiscus Forest.

When looking from afar, an eye-catching green forest appeared incredibly unique in the midst of the boundless body of water. Qin Wushuang estimated roughly that it was about one hundred miles around.

Qin Wushuang slowed down and flew slowly by following the most precise trajectory to enter into the channel of that Hibiscus Forest. Even in this case, Qin Wushuang could still feel the formidable sense of distortion emerging in his surrounding space. Even for someone as powerful as him, under this stream of air, he found it somewhat difficult to ward it off. This was the accurate traveling trajectory, if he deviated from it, Qin Wushuang could not dare to imagine how formidable the engulfing power of this air stream could be.

He glided carefully and only until the curtain of darkness fell completely did he enter the interior side of the Hibiscus Forest. This Hibiscus Forest was also on an island. This island continued for thousands of miles as if nothing else remained besides the forest.

While Qin Wushuang looked at this mystical place, he was ruefully moved. “This is the legendary place where the sun rises?”

As he looked at that fleshy leaves of the Hibiscus Forest, Qin Wushuang appeared thoughtful.

Within this Rushing Current Valley, almost everything seemed incredibly unique.

Even at night time, Qin Wushuang had the impression that the visibility of this Rushing Current Valley was not much different than during the daytime.

The body of water on the exterior side of the island emitted red lights. Beneath layers of dense red mist, there was boiling water.

Qin Wushuang did not hesitate as he pulled out the Violet Sun Sword in which he had not used for a very long time. The sword attribute of the Violet Sun Sword was metal and able to subdue the wood.

Qin Wushuang knew that this Ancient Hibiscus Wood could not be considered explicitly firm or soft.

With a flash of the sword’s light, Qin Wushuang already swept down three appropriate branches. He also did not hold back for since he was here, he would collect a bit more to save the trouble from having to run back here in the future.

Therefore, he did not hold back as ge collected a few dozen wood pieces with one swipe of the sword.

The storage ring was made of stony jade whereas it’s attribute was also wood. It would not be a problem to contain the Ancient Hibiscus Wood. Qin Wushuang put away the wood with care.

Inwardly, he also found the wood to be somewhat unfathomable. “This smooth? It’s simply exceeding my imagination.”

Qin Wushuang was feeling somewhat strange. In usual terms, since this Hibiscus Forest was being spread as such a miraculous place, it should not have been this easy.

This was simply the feeling of coming and going without constraint, in which one was free to take and give. It made Qin Wushuang doubt that it could be this easy… The smoother it went, the more Qin Wushuang felt restless. Vividly, he felt that somewhere, something was wrong.

He was sure that the Ancient Hibiscus Wood would be fine. Then where was the problem? A trace of uneasiness flashed across Qin Wushuang’s heart.

A strange sense of crisis caused sudden alertness to fill Qin Wushuang’s head.

“This Hibiscus Forest is the old den of the Golden Crow. Now that the Golden Crow is dead, could it be there are other types of danger in this Hibiscus Forest?”

As Qin Wushuang thought of it this way, his heart thumped. He pulled the Graceful Spiritual Bow involuntarily onto his hand. When at such a place, Qin Wushuang would not dare to neglect his feelings.

The outside world described this place as the hell on earth. Certainly it possessed it’s unusual aspects. Although he did not encounter crisis now, it did not mean crisis would not appear.

On the contrary, it’s possible that different forms of danger could be contained behind the calmer surface.

Suddenly, Qin Wushuang sensed that without him paying attention, a trace of movement emerged from the Hibiscus Forest that was initially calm. Then he heard a rustling echo.

“Not good…” Qin Wushuang thought as fast as lightning and instantly, he sensed some subtle movements ahead.

Just when he was guarding against it with rapt attention, an inconceivable scene appeared. All the Ancient Hibiscus Wood surrounding him started swaying all of a sudden.

It seemed as feet grew beneath these trees as they moved with high speed.

“What’s going on?” Qin Wushuang was greatly astonished. He had seen many strange things before; however, it was his first time seeing this.

Like a group of soldiers burning with rage, they waved their sharp weapons from their hands and demonstrated a show of military force to Qin Wushuang.

“Darn this guy!” an aged voice emerged. Next, bursts of sound waves rose and fall in succession in the midst of this forest. It formed surges of continuous sound waves.

This sound wave transmitted to the outside and swayed back to form an endless echo.

Vividly, it seemed as if life were bestowed to these Ancient Hibiscus Wood as they showed normal signs of vitality. All of a sudden, a giant tree that was closest to Qin Wushuang swept at him directly.

The branch was like an incredibly nimble arm as it swept out formidable power.

Swept by this imposing manner, instantly Qin Wushuang felt as if he was attacked by a surge of powerful wind. Plundering with his feet, he evaded it.

Indeed that branch was extremely strange as it grew from its original place. Like a rope, it wrapped towards Qin Wushuang’s waist.

Now, Qin Wushuang realized that this Ancient Hibiscus Wood possessed genuine spirituality.

For Supreme Dao objects, even for plants, once it gained its essence, it would be full of spirituality. It was the same as a human life or a living beast.

As Qin Wushuang looked at how all the Ancient Hibiscus Wood pressed at him from all directions, he knew these trees were extraordinary. If he were to get crammed by them, those countless branches were equivalent to tens and thousands of arms, tens and thousands of attacks. They would be enough to form an inescapable net to tie him up completely.

Therefore, before having the time to think closely, Qin Wushuang dashed to the sky directly. He tried to win with height. Unexpectedly…

Although Qin Wushuang knew how to fly, the extension power of the Hibiscus Wood were no less capable. Before he reached the top, the trees grew countless tender green branches and weaved a dense giant net. The net directly blocked Qin Wushuang’s space to soar into the sky.

Qin Wushuang twisted his waist and back in the middle of the air to avoid getting knocked against it. He also flew at a high speed to pierce through from the side. He planned to pierce through from the side cracks.

However, the Hibiscus Wood possessed great spirituality. Before allowing Qin Wushuang to fly in a slanted angle, countless long vines had already lined up consciously. As if weaving a fence, it weaved into lumps of air-tight seals that locked all the cracks tightly.

Qin Wushuang scoffed with this bad luck. He fell abruptly to drop to the ground. With a flash of yellow light, he activated his earth evading technique.

Yet, before he activated this earth evading technique completely, the yellow light was completely engulfed by the green air emitted by the Hibiscus Wood.

Wood subdues earth! With the five elemental hierarchy, the wood element poses as the most powerful constraint to the earth element.

Before this formidable power, the earth evading technique was engulfed directly.

With great sadness, Qin Wushuang realized that the way up was dead and the way down was locked.

Revealing an apprehensive gaze, he raised the Graceful Spiritual Bow from his hand and mumbled, “Even at the old den of the Golden Crow, without a choice, I can only use this Graceful Spiritual Bow!”

Pouring power through his arm, he had already opened the Graceful Spiritual Bow completely. At this moment, the tree vines from all directions kept extending towards him like countless tentacles. In bits and pieces, it kept wrapping at Qin Wushuang’s body with everything they had.

As Qin Wushuang called out far from encouraging, in the next moment, his body was already hoisted in the air. He didn’t even have the chance to activate the Graceful Spiritual Bow as he was trapped by the miraculous formation of this Hibiscus Wood.

Overwhelmed with shock, Qin Wushuang struggled for a few moments, yet he was incapable of pulling away from the wrap of those tree vines. When he urged with his divine power with one spurt of breath, it was as if a stone dropped into the sea for there was not the slightest reaction.

“Incredible, this Hibiscus Forest is really something.” Qin Wushuang swore inwardly and he stopped wasting his power recklessly. It seemed he could only win it with wit and not by brutal force.

Despite being in a dangerous situation, Qin Wushuang was not in a panic. Although this tree vine was agile and possessed skillful power, clearly it did not show excessive murderous intentions. For now, he would not be too worried about his life being in danger. As soon as he started to feel calm, he began to ponder on strategies to escape.
