I summoned an enormous God-Burying Coffin in the Ghost Dao and stood atop it. Zhao Qian, Shang Wanchiu, and the others floated up of their own accord. We were preparing to head for the main battlefield and sweep through the Yellow Springs Killing Dao along the way.
Zhao Qian had made the greatest progress, followed by Xiao Mengtong. She had also advanced to the ninth stage of the Immortal Realm, and among her many lineages, she had gained another—the Ghost Dao lineage. I finally understood Grandma's intentions. Granny Meng must have seen Xiao Mengtong's aptitude and realized that she had cultivated the Heaven-Penetrating Art, which was why she had brought her back to the Ghost Dao. Of course, the fact that Xiao Mengtong knew me must have played a part as well.
"Qian, did you find the Mother of World Stones?" I asked, looking at Zhao Qian, who carried nine world stones. One of them was colored like glazed glass, and under its influence, the others seemed to have come alive as well.
"I don't know if it counts as the Mother of World Stones. After all, it isn't as dazzlingly multicolored as the legends say. But this one is rather special too. It's like glazed glass, with boundless world power inside, and it can even affect the other world stones and make them resonate. It might even cause the other world stones to become like it." Zhao Qian reached out and plucked the glazed world stone, placing it in my hand.
The world stone felt no different from the others in my hand. I couldn't see any effect at all, so I returned it and asked, "Wasn't it said that Lanzhou had the Mother of World Stones? Could it be that you haven't found it? Why not keep searching?
