He shifted his body and landed on the ground from midair, then said to Yao Heng, "I’m going out now. What about you? Are you keeping the food I prepared for you with you?"
Yao Heng nodded repeatedly, drooling as its said, "My flower space can store so, so much food. Master, will you help prepare it?"
"Yes. I should be able to do it now."
Xiao Shou’s eyes carried a smile.
His heart was already eager to try, like a child who had just obtained a new toy and could not wait to test its power.
Helping Yao Heng prepare food was simply converting his own spiritual energy into Yao Heng’s ti energy and using them to cut apart the Ice Heart Tree.
"Yao Heng, fly a bit farther away."
After speaking, his aura paused and shifted.
His presence began to resemble Yao Heng’s slightly.
He raised his hand, and a crystal-clear greatsword ford in his grasp from condensed ti spirit particles.
As he grip the sword with both hands, Xiao Shou’s expression turned serious.
In an instant, countless sword shadows flashed.
In the blink of an eye, he sliced the Ice Heart Tree inside the cocoon into countless enormous wooden blocks about five ters wide.
Only the massive crown of the tree remained above, still bound by silk and swaying precariously.
"Master, I still want more, more food. This little bit won’t last long!"
Yao Heng imdiately flew over.
With a sweep of its small hand, countless blocks of Ice Heart Tree vanished.
Even so, it was not satisfied and instead asked for more.
During nearly three hundred years inside the flower space, Xiao Shou had not only increased his cultivation, but his continuously cultivated Hidden Spirit Returning Soul Art had also reached Level 4, which is equivalent to the divine sense of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
This allowed him to clearly scan the situation outside.
As the massive tree crown that had been hanging above the giant cocoon suddenly swayed violently and the Ice Silk Worm feeding leisurely on the leaves outside all stopped eating.
They began another round of silk-spinning and covering the upper area of the cocoon again.
However, the cocoon had already been hollowed out by his ability and was now extrely thin.
Under the pressure of the newly spun silk, it began to compress further.
Sensing this clearly, Xiao Shou’s expression changed and his aura beca even more solemn.
Without hesitation, he said, "Don’t rush. I will prepare enough for you. But first, I need to deal with those things."
"When I break open the cocoon, go collect all the Flower of Eternity, seeds, and Ice Heart Tree Core from the Ice Heart Tree that you want. After that, I will split the Ice Heart Tree. That will all be your food. How much you can take depends on you."
"Master, don’t worry. I won’t waste even a single bit of food."
Yao Heng flapped its little wings while looking at him with full expectation.
Xiao Shou nodded.
He knew that everything in this giant forest of wood and Ice Silk Worm outside the cocoon was infused with ti and space attributes.
Against them, ordinary treasures and magical artifacts were far less effective than Yao Heng’s ti energy.
He did not change tactics.
Both hands still gripping the sword hilt, he tilted his body sideways and struck out with a sword toward the weakest point he could sense in the lower side of the cocoon.
The cocoon was cut open with a massive tear.
The mont he and Yao Heng flew out through that crack, Xiao Shou imdiately used an Concealnt Talisman on both himself and Yao Heng.
Without hesitation, they jumped out of the broken opening in the Ice Silk Worm cocoon and landed on the ground covered in Ice Silk Worm droppings.
At the sa ti, the massive cocoon behind them finally could not withstand the pressure of the silk threads.
It collapsed inward with a violent squeeze, forming a tangled mass.
The Ice Silk Worm were still not satisfied and continued spinning silk for a while longer.
Only when the giant forest was filled with nothing but the rustling sound of the Ice Silk Worm feeding and no other movent remained did they finally stop.
Seeing this, Xiao Shou let out a breath of relief.
As expected, it was just as he had guessed.
Earlier, when he used his divine sense to scan the area, he had discovered that the Ice Silk Worm lived on the enormous canopy leaves of the Ice Heart Tree.
They laid eggs and spun silk there as well.
However, he had never seen what erged after breaking out of the cocoons.
He had only seen giant cocoons two to three ters wide hanging beneath the leaves.
So cocoons were already empty, while others were still sealed.
When he first entered the secret realm, he had landed on the tree canopy.
Because the tree was so large, he had mistakenly thought he was on the ground.
As a result, his movents had startled the feeding Ice Silk Worm and he had been trapped by them.
This situation gave Xiao Shou an idea.
Since the Ice Silk Worm lived on the canopy and the Ice Heart Tree was so enormous that the distance between the canopy and the ground was extrely far, he could do the opposite.
He could leave from a lower side, directly operate on the ground, and erase his aura with Concealnt Talismans.
In that case, he should not trigger any attacks from the Ice Silk Worm again.
After all, insects were mostly said not to rely on eyesight, but on touch, sll, and air vibration to perceive movent.
As expected, after acting this way, the Ice Silk Worm did not notice that tiny beings were moving beneath them.
Seeing this, Xiao Shou’s lips curved slightly.
While remaining on guard with his sword in hand, he sent a ssage to Yao Heng through divine sense.
