Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 1072 Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia





Lin Wu and Lord Geng Zilai went towards the source of the chill and soon came across a large plant.

"What in the…" Lord Geng Zilai was stunned upon seeing it as well as the visible energy that was exuding from the plant.

In front of them was a large plant that was nearly twenty meters in size. And on top of this plant grew a flower that was half of its size. The plant's stem was a mix of brown and green similar to any normal plant, but the flower on top of it was different.

The ten meter wide flower was a mixture of black and dark blue color. It had several petals, each being nearly a foot wide and dark blue in color. Its central part had a spout like appearance and was the part from where the chilly energy was emanating.

There were black veins that went all around its base and joined up in a circular form at the peduncle.

Lin Wu found the flower to be a bit familiar to one of the flowers of his past life.

'A Rafflesia flower?' Lin Wu could see several features that matched the appearance of an actual Rafflesia from his past life. 

But he was sure that this was nothing like it. Not only was the color and appearance different, the sheer amount of energy emitting from it was also huge. It wasn't just the Dark frost energy either that Lin Wu found surprising, but the Dao Traces that were mixed within them.

These Dao Traces were what Lin Wu had seen as the 'colorless' parts with his Radiation Perception.

"What is this system?" Lin Wu wondered.

~DING~

SCAN COMPLETED: Target Identified 

TARGET: Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia 

INFO: The Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia is a long lived plant that is a unique existence. The stem of the plant is rich in vitality but when it flowers, the flower is chilly and emits Dark Frost Energy from it.

The Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia's flowers can grow to ten meters in size and when they reach maturity they would start to emit Ice Dao Traces as well. This is one of the few plants that is sought after by cultivators of the Ice Dao and they meditate near it to gain compression.

——

'Hohoho… Looks like I'll be having more gains than I thought.' Lin Wu was already desiring to consume the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia.

But before he did, he noted the words of the system. 

"The cultivators mediate near it but not consume… is there a specific reason why, system?" Lin Wu questioned knowing that there must be something more to it.

~DING~

——

ANSWER: the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia flower is extremely toxic to cultivators and will kill them due to the dense Dark frost energy within it as well as the Ice Dao Traces that are emitted from it. This is also the reason why it's called 'Lifeless'.

NOTE: The host can safely consume the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia flower as the same conditions do not apply to the host, due to having a different physique.

——

"I see… that's perfect then." Lin Wu was happy with this.

He read through more details that the system had analyzed by now and learned that as long as the stem of the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia was left intact, the flower could actually regrow after years.

And once the flower was removed, the emission of the Dark Frost energy should also fall, allowing for the concentration of it in the area to reduce and the condition of the Steel Frost Island to improve.

"This is what's behind your troubles Lord Geng Zilai." Lin Wu said before telling him what the flower was.

Though Lin Wu kept a few parts of the information hidden such as the fact that it could be used to deepen one's comprehension of the Ice Dao. He simply presented the flower as a deadly plant to the man.

"How do we solve this King Lin Wu? And if we remove this, will the Ice Light Lichen be gone too?" Lord Geng Zilai inquired.

"The temperature here will be maintained due to the Dark Frost Energy that has already permeated the ice above so the Ice Light Lichen will keep on growing for a long time. And I'll simply get rid of the flower head, while keeping the plant intact.

That way, it'll grow over the years and replenish the Dark Frost Energy concentration here. I'll also add some arrays that'll maintain the balance between the two, while also improving safety for your people." Lin Wu presented the solution.

Hearing all this, Lord Geng Zilai's eyes lit up, and he nodded his head in approval.

"Please do as you've said, King Lin Wu. I can't wait for my people to have a respite from this Chill." He said with emotion in his voice.

"Of course." Lin Wu replied before approaching the flower.

The concentration of the Dark Frost Energy was quite high here, and even Dao Treading realm cultivators might have been frozen form it by now. Lin Wu and Lord Geng Zilai were coated in a dense layer of radiation which was preventing the Dark Frost Energy from invading them.

But even then, the radiation was being eroded over time and Lin Wu had to keep on replenishing it. While he wouldn't run out of it anytime soon, it was still interesting to see something like this that could actually challenge it.

'At least I was the one who found and will take advantage of it rather than others.' Lin Wu thought to himself as he changed the shape of his Tail.

It took on the shape of a long sharp scalpel that shone with a sapphire colored light.

Lin Wu didn't add any other elemental Qi to it as he didn't want that to affect the Dark Frost Lifeless Rafflesia. Sapphire Qi was relatively neutral so wouldn't cause any interaction while also allowing him to cut with ease.
