It was an extremely stout old locust tree.
It would probably take dozens of people to fully encircle it.
Right now, in the middle of the tree trunk, there was a woman bound to it by ghost vines from all sides.
If you didn't look carefully, you would never notice that the woman with graying hair and many wrinkles on her skin was actually Xia Wanning, the elder of the clan.
At this moment, her hair was a bit disheveled.
Her body was embedded in the center of the locust tree.
Her limbs were tightly bound by the ghost vines, and she couldn't move an inch.
The other end of the ghost vines was connected to the vine bed under Mo Bai.
Just now, the formation was using the spiritual power plundered from Xia Wanning to heal and perfect the meridians in Mo Bai's body.
Last time, with Luo Qiu's help, Mo Bai woke up. After saying a few words to Luo Qiu, not long after, he found that the power in his body had become restless.
Moreover, every time he wanted to use his spiritual power, he couldn't muster it up.
The method of using others' luck to nourish one's own was told to Mo Yan by Senior Luo Qiu.
Coincidentally, at that time.
Xia Wanning came to visit.
Naturally, Xia Wanning became the best pawn in Mo Yan's eyes.
Now, two months had passed.
The power in Mo Bai's body had become more and more stable.
He got up.
Luo Qiu leaped down from a high place and landed on the ghost vines.
"I didn't expect that your physique could actually be compatible with this plundering technique."
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior."
"No need for thanks. Just don't forget what you promised me."
"As long as Senior doesn't forget what you promised me, I will surely handle Senior's matters beautifully."
"Don't worry. I won't touch that girl until I figure out the origin of the red lotus between her eyebrows."
"That's good."
For some reason.
There was always a mysterious power on that girl. Last time, Luo Qiu had even found her in the cave.
But still couldn't get close to Zhao Shuning.
So, she couldn't pry into Zhao Shuning's secrets.
Mo Bai and Zhao Shuning had some acquaintance. If he went, perhaps that girl's body wouldn't reject Mo Bai so much.
"However, have you thought it through? You may have to suffer a lot of grievances this time. Zhao Shuning should already know that you're related to Zhao Huai's death. You may not get a good look from her this time. At best, she may ignore you from now on. At worst, Zhao Shuning may draw her sword against you."
A hint of bitterness appeared on Mo Bai's face.
"Even if she draws her sword against me, I'll have to bear it."
"This is what I owe her, and I should repay it."
Mo Bai's expression was serious. It seemed that he had truly fallen for Zhao Shuning.
"Does Senior have any other instructions?"
Luo Qiu pondered and said, "I'm sure you already know about the matter of the Beast Supreme."
"Yes."
"If it weren't for the special nature of the Ghost Domain and Zhao Huai not fully recovered, we might have all become souls under his sword. So, we need to save ourselves before he fully recovers."
"How exactly should we do it?"
Luo Qiu said, "The experiment on you has achieved initial success. In a way, you have the blood of the Beast Supreme in your body. So, your power has a stronger explosive force than ordinary people. In these two months, we've found that your body can fuse the powers of humans, the beast world, and various natural forces. Remember, when you go out this time, if you encounter powerful beings or fierce beasts, just absorb their power. Your physique is special, and only you can do it."
"I understand."
Even if the path ahead was full of bloodshed, he would surely carve out a path of blood.
"Then practice in the Ancient Wilderness for a while. There are many fierce beasts there, which is enough for you to practice and become stronger."
"Understood."
Mo Bai flexed his muscles.
He found that the power in his body had indeed become much stronger.
It seemed that the power of Xia Wanning, the elder of the clan, was truly extraordinary.
Mo Bai leaped out of this huge warm bed.
There, only Mo Yan, Luo Qiu, and the nearly shriveled Xia Wanning on the tree were left.
Luo Qiu said, "Mo Bai's body structure is different from all of us humans. He has the bloodline of the Beast Supreme in his body. Before, this bloodline only made him stronger. Now, after being struck by the Beast Supreme, this strike has opened up all the bloodlines in his body. This child, Mo Bai, has an unlimited future and will surely surpass you and me."
Mo Yan said, "I don't know if it's good or bad for him to become like this."
Becoming a powerful being was the goal pursued by every human on the Kyushu Continent. However, Mo Yan was worried that with Mo Bai's personality, he might cause irreversible consequences in the future.
"Mo Yan, back then, Mo Bai's fusion of the Supreme bloodline and rapid improvement in strength were also part of your plan. Weren't you eager to conquer Kyushu and make the Divine Sect the ruler of Kyushu? Now that Mo Bai has become stronger as you wished, why are you feeling uneasy instead?"
Mo Yan let out a deep sigh.
"I know you're mocking me."
"What do I have to mock you for?"
"If I hadn't wanted to make Loulan the master of Kyushu back then, I wouldn't have done so many stupid things that were harmful to Yan'er. Now that she's been dead for so many years, I still haven't found a way to resurrect her."
"We will find a way. But Mo Yan, you have to remember that if your help is needed for sister's resurrection in the future, you can't back down. To a large extent, this situation is your fault."
"I understand."
Mo Yan looked into the distance.
If possible, he really wanted to see her again.
At least, he could have a chance to say those three words to her.
It was his ambition that had killed her back then.
Now, more than five hundred years had passed, and she still appeared in his mind from time to time, lingering.
"I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Take good control of Mo Bai's affairs. That child's ambition should be no smaller than yours. Also, if he loses control, he may become bloodthirsty and cruel. Don't easily provoke him before his power becomes more stable."
"I know. I've found Wanwan's remains. I'll find a good place for them some other day."
"That's for the best."
No matter how cold - blooded Mo Bai was, and even though Wanwan had passed away not long after Mo Bai was born, Luo Qiu could understand a child's longing for his biological mother.
If Mo Yan did this, Mo Bai would feel much better.
