In the sky, Wang Yi flew atop a blade like an immortal from legend.
The fog was too thick. Even with Wang Yi's eyesight, he could only see about two hundred meters ahead. Even using Mental Power, the range he could sense was about the same.
When he reached the center of the lake, Wang Yi had no choice but to lower his altitude.
"Two hundred meters should be about right." At this height, Wang Yi could barely see the lake's surface without worrying about a sudden attack from the monsters in the water.
White mist filled the air, aquatic plants swayed, and the vast lake churned with waves. Roars rang out from time to time, and who knew how many monsters lurked within.
Splash—
A dragon-like creature over a hundred meters long emerged from the lake, its body covered in black-purple scales and thicker than a water tank. It stirred up towering waves.
Wang Yi watched coldly and continued flying toward the center of the lake.
The monsters living in Mist Lake were not his target this time.
Along the way, Wang Yi was attacked by lake monsters several times, but he dealt with them all using Throwing Knives.
As he continued onward and searched, an island soon appeared before his eyes.
It was an island lush with vegetation and verdant greenery, shrouded in mist and utterly silent.
Wang Yi hovered quietly in midair, watching the mysterious, deathly still island for a while before slowly flying over. Throughout the process, he maintained the highest level of vigilance.
Whoosh. Wang Yi descended from the sky, his combat boots lightly stepping onto the soft beach.
"Sign in." Without hesitation, Wang Yi opened the golden Sign-in Panel.
As golden radiance flashed symbolically, Wang Yi once again heard that wonderful voice.
Ding. Congratulations, Host, on successfully signing in. Reward: one Moyun Vine seedling. The Moyun Vine seedling has been placed in the panel space. Remaining sign-in attempts at this location: 0
"Hmm?" Wang Yi's brows twitched.
He could see that an additional display had appeared beneath the golden Sign-in Panel. It consisted of grid-like spaces, and within one of them rested a plant resembling a gourd vine, only a little over two meters long.
This was the "Moyun Vine seedling."
The Moyun Vine was an extremely popular type of Plant Life in the universe, beloved by many powerful warriors and their disciples.
The value of a single Moyun Vine was astonishing in the universe.
During cultivation, the Moyun Vine could continuously evolve and grow stronger. Once fully grown, it could protect its master and attack enemies alike, making it the finest companion.
The Moyun Vine had many evolutionary paths, mainly depending on the various treasures it could consume.
If it were left on Earth and could only absorb cosmic energy, it could at most reach the seventh or eighth rank of the Planetary level.
But if it were fed all kinds of precious treasures, even becoming "Immortal" would not be a problem. The cost, however, would be staggering.
As Wang Yi recalled the information about the "Moyun Vine," he felt somewhat surprised that he had signed in for a "Moyun Vine" on "Fog Island."
Wang Yi revealed a trace of helplessness.
Unfortunately, it was only a seedling. Reaching the Planetary level would probably take quite some time.
Unless he had precious treasures like "Wood Crystals" to accelerate its growth.
Moreover, cultivating a "Moyun Vine" was not so simple. Without anyone to guide him, Wang Yi was completely at a loss in this regard.
"Still, having one is better than having nothing..." Wang Yi took a light breath and looked once more toward the silent island shrouded in white mist, thick with trees like an ancient primeval forest.
Wang Yi knew that quite a few Spirits of Grass and Wood grew on this island.
In this world, there was no unified explanation for the origins of Spirits of Grass and Wood. Some said they were produced through special mutations. Others claimed they evolved after absorbing special natural cosmic energy... In any case, there were many theories and no definitive conclusion.
But one thing was certain: after plants transformed into "Spirits of Grass and Wood," they posed no threat as long as one did not approach them. Moreover, every Spirit of Grass and Wood could be said to contain the essence of heaven and earth, each possessing special effects.
But Wang Yi knew that these so-called "Spirits of Grass and Wood" were actually the work of Babata, the Intelligent Life within the Yunmo spacecraft buried fifty thousand years beneath Fog Island. Babata's master had been a powerful Immortal, but his soul had been destroyed by his enemies. In the end, he perished on Earth, while the spacecraft was so badly damaged that it could not be activated and could only remain underground.
The Yunmo Star faction had also been completely destroyed! Earth had escaped disaster only because, before dying, Babata's master used a powerful Space Secret Technique to conceal the corresponding coordinates in the Dark Universe, preventing outsiders from discovering the starfield where Earth was located.
Babata's wish was to find a suitable successor for his deceased master.
And this successor had to possess exceptionally high talent as a Mental Master, or rather, a sufficiently high "Brain Domain Width"!
In the original storyline, Luo Feng's Brain Domain Width was as high as 21! He was the highest among Earth's people, which was why Babata chose him as Yunmo Star's successor.
Returning to the matter at hand, as an Intelligent Life, Babata was essentially a virtual existence. Without a physical vessel, it was difficult for him to leave the spacecraft on his own.
In order to choose a disciple for his master, during humanity's Great Nirvana Period, when human powerhouses had just emerged, Babata threw out a Moyun Vine seed and fed three Wood Crystals to the Moyun Vine, allowing its strength to grow rapidly.
At the same time, two Wood Crystals ground into powder were absorbed by certain plants, forming the so-called "Spirits of Grass and Wood."
This was why Fog Island was so quiet. Besides the large number of "Spirits of Grass and Wood," it also housed a terrifying Moyun Vine.
The monsters from the surrounding lakes did not dare set foot on it at all.
Even on present-day Earth, aside from "Hong" and "Thunder God," not a single other human powerhouse could defeat this Moyun Vine.
Wang Yi pondered in his heart. He had no intention of provoking this Moyun Vine right now, because he could not beat it.
The spacecraft where Babata resided lay more than ten thousand meters beneath Fog Island, hidden beneath camouflage. If Babata was unwilling, there was simply no way to discover the spacecraft's location.
Unless Babata thought he was "extraordinarily gifted," a genius capable of inheriting his master's legacy. Then Babata might guide him there.
