After the inauguration ceremony, Bai Yue returned to a peaceful life.
As the new Inspector, he didn't have any specific duties yet, so he continued to stay at the Elite Training Camp, focusing on his cultivation.
"Stillness breeds movement," he thought to himself. "I haven't had a chance to look around this world yet."
For over a year since his memories returned, he had been solely focused on improving his strength, his nerves constantly on edge.
Now, his power was firmly among the top three on Earth, allowing him to finally relax a little. Furthermore, he hadn't had any experience fighting Monsters since breaking through to Planet Level, which made him want to go out and explore.
When he shared his idea with the Hall Master Hong, he received his approval. Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles; always working behind closed doors is a major taboo for Martial Path cultivation.
Following that, he purchased a Qiankun Level intelligent fighter jet from Hong's treasury. Although one could fly at decent speeds after reaching Planet Level, why fly oneself when there's a fighter jet!
After bidding farewell to his colleagues at the Elite Training Camp and Luo Feng, he packed his things and returned to Jiangnan Base City, heading back to his villa in Mingyue Residential Area.
As the intelligent fighter jet landed in the parking lot of Mingyue Residential Area, Bai Yue returned to the neighborhood after a six-month absence. Naturally, he was warmly welcomed by his neighbors. In the following days, after receiving representatives from the higher-ups of Limit Martial Hall, as well as various government and military factions, things finally quieted down.
Once things had settled, Bai Yue visited Luo Feng's family. After Luo Feng became a Warrior, his family had also moved into Mingyue Residential Area, right next to his own home. As Luo Feng's childhood friend, who used to freeload meals at his house, Bai Yue naturally had to pay them a visit.
"Uncle, Auntie, are you getting used to living in the neighborhood? I wasn't around when you moved in, so please don't mind me visiting so late!" Bai Yue handed the gifts he brought to Luo Feng's father, Luo Hongguo, and mother, Gong Xinlan, who came to greet him.
"Haha, no trouble at all, no trouble at all. Little Feng doesn't come home often either since becoming a Warrior!" Even after a year, their relationship hadn't grown distant. Luo Hongguo was quite happy to see him.
"Yes! Knowing how difficult things are for you out there, I worry myself to death every time Little Feng goes out!" Gong Xinlan handed him a cup of tea.
"You can rest assured about Little Feng's strength. You know his personality; he won't take any unnecessary risks." He comforted the couple, telling them not to worry about Luo Feng.
"Where's Luo Hua? I don't see him!" Bai Yue asked, puzzled.
"Oh, him. Ever since his body recovered, he's been out and about every day. We don't know what he's so busy with. Speaking of which, we have you to thank for that. If it weren't for the Water of Life you sent, Luo Hua would still be in a wheelchair." Gong Xinlan said.
"Luo Feng and I are brothers, and Luo Hua is like a younger brother to me. Helping is what I should do."
As they were talking, Luo Hua walked in. Seeing the three of them in the living room, he jogged over.
"Brother Bai, you're here!"
"Look at you, running and jumping. You've recovered well! Your mom said you're out every day; have you found a girl you like?" Bai Yue teased Luo Hua.
At his words, Luo Hua's face instantly turned red, as he indeed had someone in mind.
After chatting for a while, Gong Xinlan prepared a table full of dishes. The meal was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
It was already evening when he returned home. As usual, he cultivated his Gene Energy and Mental Power. With the Creation, his cultivation progress had greatly improved, and Planet Third Order was not far off.
After finishing his cultivation, he washed up and went to bed.
The next day, Bai Yue prepared to set out for his training journey.
His first destination was the Australian Continent. This was where Luo Feng's greatest opportunity for early growth lay, and Bai Yue wanted to try his luck there. Although he knew that the inheritance from Meteor Star leaned towards Mental Masters, he still wanted to give it a shot.
The Fog Island from the original story was not hard to find. The Monkey Group, the lake, and the island itself were distinctive features. Using the internal system of Limit Martial Hall, he quickly located it.
Soon, he arrived above Fog Island in his intelligent fighter jet. The cabin door opened, and Bai Yue, clad in combat gear with a backpack and holding an Alloy Staff, flew out.
Standing in the air, overlooking Fog Island, offered a unique view. Water vapor rose from the lake, coalescing into mist that enveloped the entire island, making everything appear hazy.
Ripples occasionally flickered across the lake's surface. From high above, shadows could be seen flashing beneath the water, suggesting the presence of aquatic Monsters.
Compared to the lake, the island, despite its lush vegetation, showed fewer signs of animal activity.
"Swish, swish, swish." With the sound of several Flying Daggers cutting through the air, a vine plant covering an entire cliff face at the center of Fog Island was cut into pieces below the cliff.
"As expected, the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is." If Bai Yue hadn't possessed Mental Power, he would have been deceived by this plant. The entire plant had heart-shaped leaves, which gradually turned red from the stem to the tip, and it was covered in red and white flowers, making it look quite beautiful.
However, beneath the dense foliage and vines lay piles of white bones. As he approached, some vines quietly reached out towards him, preparing to restrain him.
This led to the previous scene. Looking at the cut vine, bright red sap flowed out, resembling blood.
He walked towards the root of the plant. The vine covering the entire cliff face was a single entity, which was quite massive. In reality, it consisted of four large branches and one small one. The four large branches had already been severed by Bai Yue, leaving only the small one.
Unlike the four large branches, this small one had not further differentiated. It was only a little over a meter long but bore abundant fruit, resembling apricots. Even before getting close, a faint fragrance could be detected. Counting them, there were about eleven or twelve fruits.
He picked the fruits and put them into his already laden backpack. However, Bai Yue didn't feel satisfied, as his purpose for coming here wasn't these Spirits of Plants and Trees.
He had already explored more than half of Fog Island. Apart from harvesting over 20 Spirits of Plants and Trees, he hadn't felt any sort of pull or guidance. He was certain he didn't meet Babata's recruitment criteria.
Although he had expected this, he was still a little disappointed, as obtaining Huyan Bo's inheritance would have saved him many detours.
"Fortune is mine to have, misfortune is mine to bear." He sighed and let go of the thought.
With that in mind, he didn't want to linger there any longer and flew towards the intelligent fighter jet in the sky.
Actually, he had misunderstood. The reason he hadn't received the guidance was that Babata couldn't scan his brain capacity. It could only make inferences based on information from the network and his past performance. His Mental Master abilities hadn't been particularly strong initially; his innate mental energy could only support him up to the Advanced Warlord level.
This led to the current situation.
There were definitely other Spirits of Plants and Trees on Fog Island, but he didn't want to pick any more. Firstly, they wouldn't be of much use to him, and secondly, he had to leave some for those who came after him.
Back in the fighter jet, he placed the harvested Spirits of Plants and Trees into a dedicated storage cabinet and then commanded the jet's intelligent system to head to Jiangnan Base City.
He had initially set out to travel, but after arriving at his first destination and harvesting so many Spirits of Plants and Trees, some of which needed to be processed immediately to avoid losing their effectiveness, he had no choice but to return to the base city first.
