"Strange, why would it leave behind an Essence Stone?"
A female cultivator in a yellow dress said, "Senior Brother Wang, should we keep this Essence Stone?"
Senior Brother Wang frowned slightly. "Observe it for now. It was tainted by an unknown power, after all. Better to be cautious."
"Report it to the Patriarch first!"
With that, the five of them bowed toward the sky and shouted, "We welcome the Patriarch's honored arrival!"
A black hole appeared in the sky above them, and the Essence Stone vanished into it with a flash.
The Patriarch of the Forty-Eight Thousand Side Sects frowned as he looked at the Essence Stone before him!
A trace of icy solemnity appeared in his eyes.
There was nothing wrong with the Essence Stone itself, but it carried a wisp of mysterious aura. It was clearly power from The Indescribable.
His expression darkened like still water. He sensed that the Anomalies tainted by The Indescribable seemed to be changing.
Through this change, they were attempting to spread even further.
These Essence Stones produced a strange attraction. Once someone saw one, if their willpower was lacking, they would be easily drawn to it.
If they absorbed one, they would be affected by the aura of The Indescribable upon it!
This effect did not yet count as contamination, but it could not be taken lightly.
It would appear in cultivators' daily lives as mental illusions and voices.
Once they fell into it—or even noticed it—they might be further contaminated, suffer a mental breakdown, and eventually encounter the true power of The Indescribable amid distortion.
He realized that the Anomalies contaminated by the power of The Indescribable were becoming increasingly troublesome!
"Once ordinary cultivators absorb them, they will immediately become a hidden danger. They must be kept vigilant."
