Wang Xian followed Lingzhi Fairy swiftly across Shifang Island, arriving at the island's central region.
A grand altar stood here, radiating a mysterious glow.
Countless players from various races stood quietly around the altar, watching.
Lingzhi Fairy said anxiously, "Fellow Daoist Wang Xian, Fire Spirit Holy Mother was supposed to help you travel across the islands, but now we cannot even find a trace of her. She must have run into trouble."
Wang Xian frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
He had been clearing the Dark Islands all this time, but as more and more Dark Islands were cleared, the Dark Creatures on the other islands grew increasingly powerful. Powerful Dark Creatures had even invaded the spatial passages Fire Spirit Holy Mother opened, attempting to intercept and kill him.
However, Fire Spirit Holy Mother had easily slain those Dark Creatures every time, so Wang Xian had not thought much of it.
Now that Fire Spirit Holy Mother had suddenly vanished, Wang Xian had reason to suspect that the true Dark Creatures had made their move—the beings from the Heaven Realm.
Lingzhi Fairy sat cross-legged before the altar, her hands continuously forming seals. All kinds of mysterious Runes condensed and then sank into the altar.
Not long afterward, Lingzhi Fairy rose to her feet and said uneasily to Wang Xian, "Fellow Daoist Wang Xian, we can use this altar's power to find out where Fire Spirit Holy Mother went and trace the source of the dark forces. However, this altar requires a large number of Dark Crystal Cores to activate fully."
Emperor Path did not hesitate in the slightest. He took out Dark Crystal Cores from his backpack and tossed them directly onto the altar.
