C360 The Shadow in the Fog
C360 The Shadow in the Fog
Within the virtual screen, there was a shadow shrouded in mist.
"What do you think of her?"
"I can see that she is worthy of the task." An emotionless electronic voice resounded from the virtual screen.
"It's worth bestowing a heavy responsibility upon. This evaluation is truly rare. I will carefully consider it. Sorry to trouble you." The old man performed a standard military salute to the misty shadow in the light screen.
"There is no need for this. This is my duty, and also my fate." The shadow in the fog returned the salute and the virtual screen abruptly stopped, turning into a blurry snowflake.
The old man stood alone in the conference room, looking at the indistinct snowflakes with sadness in his eyes.
Fate...
A moment later, the old man sighed and buried his weakness deep within his heart. He took out the encrypted communication device and pressed a number. "You can remove the surveillance on Ye Zhi and Ye Luo. Their authority will increase by one level."
"I have to find a suitable time to invite them to join the Kunlun Plan."
It was unknown just what kind of divine being the shadow wrapped in mist was, to be able to attract such attention from the old man.
With these words of the old man, Ye Zhi and Ye Luo began to come into contact with the true secret of Tao Palace.
"… …"
Crash.
Shocking waves crashed against the shore, and the wind billowed.
The dense spirit energy was like a surging river that was being continuously devoured by Su Mu, and all the spirit energy above the Qingxi Mountains was sucked dry.
It had to be known that the Qingxi Mountains spanned for 800 kilometers, and was much wider than famous mountains. Even though there was a huge amount of spirit energy, it was actually all absorbed by Su Mu.
Just like how fish could not leave the water, these Spirit Species also could not leave the water.
The concentration of spirit energy outside the Qingxi Mountains was also affected, and even the spirit practitioners living far from the Qingxi Mountains were able to sense the abnormality of spirit energy.
One could imagine the magnitude of the shock Su Mu caused when he broke through.
Su Mu's body stood proudly, slowly rising up into the air. A huge hole was torn through the Fog Sea in the sky, clearing away the clouds and sun.
The golden sunlight shone down from the hole, coating Su Mu's white jade-like branch with a layer of golden radiance, like a primordial divine tree that had come from ancient times. The Spirit Species in the valley couldn't help but respectfully kneel on the ground, admiring and worshipping this sacred Celestial Jade Tree.
Su Mu's branches moved in the absence of wind, the ancient light blue lightning patterns and the golden radiance reflected off of each other. The jade-like leaves lightly collided with a jingling sound, like a peerless musician playing the zither with his bare hand.
All the Spirit Species and spirit cultivators in the valley were intoxicated by her words, unable to extricate themselves from her ecstasy.
Their spiritual world seemed to have a small stream flowing through it. It was as clear and bright as a clear mirror, cleansing their soul of any dust as it passed through it.
The soul was baptized and the spirit was sublimated.
When Su Mu's branches and leaves stopped swaying, it became completely silent. In the eyes of those ordinary animals and wild beasts, there seemed to be a sense of intelligence.
Su Mu stabbed the roots deep into the ground and they started to flow in all directions. The hard rock was torn to pieces like paper.
50 km, 60 km, 70 km...
In the blink of an eye, Su Mu's roots had extended over a hundred kilometers and half of his Qingxi Mountains was already in his pockets.
