The Resolute Old Tree

Before long, Tong Feifei finished talking with the Old Banyan Tree and walked toward Jiang Yue, his eyes rimmed red.

It was clear that his conversation with the Old Banyan Tree had dealt him a tremendous emotional blow, leaving him looking deeply sad.

"Brother Yue, it told you everything, right?"

"It told me the plan, but it didn't mention how to pinpoint the location. Has this matter been settled?"

"Yes. Its attitude was firm. As for the method of pinpointing the location, it needs my help. It said that when that force comes again tonight, I should establish a mental connection with it. Then it can carry a bit of my Spiritual Sense into that force. It said that force devours its Source of Life and its Spiritual Sense because they are of the same kind. A trace of my Spiritual Sense might not be devoured. That trace might give me some clues. However, it can only exist for a limited time, and it has only a twenty-to-thirty percent chance of pinpointing the location."

"Only a twenty-to-thirty percent chance?" Jiang Yue asked in surprise. The success rate was indeed far too low.

"It said that even if there was only a ten percent chance, we still had to try. There is currently no better option. Besides, it said that even if it didn't deliberately let itself be defeated, its Spiritual Sense would eventually be devoured completely as that force grew stronger. It was better to take the initiative and confuse the enemy."

"What if it fails?" Jiang Yue asked. "Is there a backup plan?"

"No. It said that if it fails, I can only evolve again and raise my Mental Strength another level. I might receive new clues then."

"How long do you think that will take?"

"I don't know.
