Fog Island

After the inauguration ceremony, Bai Yue returned to his peaceful life.

As the newly appointed Inspector, he had no specific duties for the time being, so he remained at the Elite Training Camp and continued his training.

After being still for so long, he felt the urge to move. I've come to this world, but I haven't really gone out and seen it yet. Bai Yue thought to himself.

Ever since his memories had awakened, he had spent more than a year striving to improve his strength, his nerves constantly stretched taut.

Now, his strength was firmly among the top three on Earth, allowing him to relax for a short while. Moreover, after breaking through to the Planet Level, he had yet to gain any experience fighting monsters. That was why he wanted to go out and travel.

After telling Hall Master Hong about his idea, he received Hong's approval. Reading ten thousand books was inferior to traveling ten thousand miles; endlessly shutting oneself away to work in isolation was a great taboo in Martial Path cultivation.

Right afterward, he purchased a Qiankun Level Smart Fighter from Hong's treasury. Although Planet Level fighters could fly and were not slow after breaking through, why fly himself when he had 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, returning to his villa in Mingyue Residential Area.

When the Smart Fighter landed in the Mingyue Residential Area parking lot, Bai Yue returned to the neighborhood after half a year away. Naturally, he received a warm welcome from the neighbors. Over the next few days, he entertained not only the higher-ups of Limit Martial Hall, but also representatives from the government, military district, and various other forces, before things gradually quieted down.

Once things had settled, Bai Yue paid a visit to Luo Feng's family. After Luo Feng became a Martial Artist, his family had moved into Mingyue Residential Area, right next door to Bai Yue's home. As Luo Feng's childhood friend who had mooched meals at his house since they were kids, Bai Yue naturally had to pay them a visit.

"Uncle, Auntie, have you gotten used to living here? I wasn't around when you moved in, and I've only come to visit now. Don't hold it against me!" Bai Yue handed the gifts in his hands to Luo Feng's father, Luo Hongguo, and mother, Gong Xinlan, who had come to greet him.

"Haha, it's fine, it's fine. After Xiaofeng became a Martial Artist, he often didn't come home either!" A year apart had not made them distant. Luo Hongguo was delighted to see him visiting.

"That's right! We know life isn't easy for you out there. Every time Xiaofeng goes out, I worry myself sick!" Gong Xinlan handed him a cup of tea.

"You can rest assured about Xiaofeng's strength. You know his personality—he definitely won't take unnecessary risks." Bai Yue comforted the couple and told them not to worry about Luo Feng.

"Where's Luo Hua? Why don't I see him?" Bai Yue asked curiously.

"Him? Ever since his body recovered, he's been running around outside all day. I have no idea what keeps him so busy. Speaking of which, we have to thank you, Xiaoyue. If not for the Water of Life you sent, Luo Hua would still be sitting in a wheelchair." Gong Xinlan said.

"Luo Feng and I are brothers. Luo Hua is like a younger brother to me too. Helping him was only natural."

Just as they were speaking, Luo Hua walked in. Seeing Bai Yue and his parents in the living room, he ran over in a flash.

"Bai, you're here!"

"Look at you, running and jumping around. You've recovered pretty well! Your mom said you run out every day. Have you taken a liking to some girl?" Bai Yue teased Luo Hua.

The moment those words left his mouth, Luo Hua's face instantly reddened. He really did have something going on.

After chatting for a while, Gong Xinlan prepared a table full of dishes, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

It was already night when Bai Yue returned home. As usual, he trained his Gene Energy and Mental Power. Since obtaining his Creation, his cultivation progress had greatly improved, and Planet Third Order was no longer far away.

After finishing his training, he washed up and went to bed.

The next day, Bai Yue prepared to set out for training abroad.

His first stop was the Australian Continent. It held Luo Feng's greatest early opportunity for rising to prominence, and Bai Yue wanted to try his luck as well. Although he knew Meteor Star's inheritance leaned toward Mental Masters, he still had to give it a try.

Fog Island was not difficult to find in the original story. The Monkey Group, the lake, and the island were all distinctive features. Through Limit Martial Hall's internal system, he quickly located it.

Soon, the Smart Fighter arrived above Fog Island. The hatch opened, and Bai Yue flew out in combat gear, carrying a backpack on his back and an Alloy Staff in hand.

Standing in the air and looking down at Fog Island, he found it had a unique beauty. Water vapor rose from the lake, gathering into mist that blanketed the entire island and made everything on it appear hazy and indistinct.

Ripples occasionally passed over the lake's surface. From high above, shadows could be seen flickering beneath the water. One could imagine that they were aquatic monsters.

Compared to the lake, the island was lush with vegetation, but there were far fewer signs of animal activity.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh." With several Flying Daggers slicing through the air, a vine plant covering an entire cliff beneath a mountain precipice at the center of Fog Island was cut into pieces.

"The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is." If Bai Yue had not possessed Mental Power, even he would have been deceived by this plant. Its leaves were heart-shaped, gradually turning red from the leaf stems to their tips, while red-and-white flowers bloomed densely across it. It looked exceptionally beautiful.

Yet beneath the dense leaves and vines lay piles of white bones. As he approached, several vines quietly crept toward him, preparing to bind him.

That was why the earlier scene had occurred. Looking at the severed vines, Bai Yue saw bright red liquid flowing from them, just like blood.

He walked toward the plant's roots. Although the vines covering the entire cliff belonged to only one plant, its immense size was obvious. In truth, however, it had only five main branches—four large ones and one small one. Bai Yue had already cut off the four large branches, leaving only the small one.

Unlike the four large branches, this smaller branch had not continued branching out. It was only a little over a meter long, yet it was laden with fruit resembling apricots. Before he even got close, he could smell their faint fragrance. Counting them carefully, there were around eleven or twelve.

He picked the fruits and placed them in his already fruit-filled backpack, but Bai Yue did not feel satisfied. After all, these Spirits of Plants and Trees were not the purpose of his visit.

He had already searched more than half of Fog Island. Aside from harvesting over twenty Spirits of Plants and Trees, he had not felt any sort of pull or guidance. He had determined that he did not meet Babata's recruitment standards.

Although he had expected it, he was still somewhat disappointed. If he could obtain Huyan Bo's inheritance, he would have to take far fewer detours.

"Getting it would be my fortune; losing it would be my fate." With a sigh, he let it go.

With that thought, he no longer wished to linger there and immediately flew toward the Smart Fighter in the sky.

In truth, he had misunderstood the situation. The reason he had received no guidance was that Babata could not scan the breadth of his brain domain at all, and could only make deductions based on online information and his past performance. Moreover, Bai Yue's potential as a Mental Master had not been particularly remarkable at first; his innate spiritual energy could only support him up to the Advanced Warlord level.

That was how the current situation had come about.

There were certainly other Spirits of Plants and Trees on Fog Island, but Bai Yue did not want to pick any more. First, they were not especially useful to him; second, he had to leave some for those who came later.

After returning to the fighter and placing the harvested Spirits of Plants and Trees into a specialized storage cabinet, Bai Yue gave the Smart Fighter's intelligent system the command to head for Jiangnan Base City.

He had originally intended to travel around and explore different places, but he had obtained so many Spirits of Plants and Trees at his very first stop. Some of them had to be processed immediately, or their effects would be greatly reduced, so he could only return to the Base City first.
