Chapter 246: Transforming the Mystic Trace Fog

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Baole was in a region far away from where the youth had awakened. As he charged ahead at high speed, he was despondent, lowering his head time and again and looking at a wooden slip, which brought him a lot of shock.

The wooden slip was from the youth’s storage bag. Even though there were other possessions in the bag, it was difficult for one to access them if they weren’t of a high enough level of cultivation. However, to the Dharmic Armament cultivators, it wasn’t as complicated. As long as they knew which grade the bag was, they could focus on its characteristics to unlock it.

To Wang Baole, who was able to refine a third-grade Numinous Treasure, he could use the method of further refinement to change the internal inscriptions and open the storage bag without its marks being erased. That wasn’t too difficult for him.

After opening the storage bag, Wang Baole came to know about the youth’s identity. He was Wen Huai, one of the core disciples of the Galactic Dusk Sect.

He wasn’t very clear of the structure within the Galactic Dusk Sect, but from the identity token, Wang Baole felt that Wen Huai must be a relatively impressive True Breath cultivator within the Galactic Dusk Sect.

There were many pills and Numinous Treasures inside the storage bag, along with other cultivation technique jade slips and a myriad of objects. There was even a cruiser stored inside.

However, it was a pity that the items couldn’t be used within the Mystic Luna Realm due to the presence of array formations. Despite that, the gains that Wang Baole obtained made him feel that snatching from a villain was a way to strike it rich.

There was also the Spirit Stones Card, which was specifically tagged to the owner. That made it difficult for Wang Baole to reclaim it from a specific place.

Other than that, there was another unique item in Wen Huai’s storage bag, which was the wooden slip in Wang Baole’s hands. It was only half the size of his fist, with a map carved on its front. It wasn’t difficult for Wang Baole to recognize that it was a map of the Mystic Luna Realm.

Ethereal Dao College also distributed similar maps. However, it was apparent that Wen Huai’s map was more detailed and complete. There were also some markings on it, and after taking a close look at one of the marked positions, Wang Baole realized that it was the exact spot where he had found the unique fragment. He grew excited.

There was also a map on the back of the wooden slip. On that map, there was a region with three small mountainous peaks. A drawing of a tree was on it as well, but there were no markings of its exact location. All that was on it was the overall view of an area.

The tree was the element that made Wang Baole surprised. At the same time, Wang Baole felt a sense of familiarity with regards to the texture of the wooden slip. It made him think about Coulomb Basin, as well as the giant tree that was previously destroyed by the red lightning!

Why is such an object in the possession of a Galactic Dusk Sect disciple?

From the texture of the wooden slip, it is highly likely that it is made from that giant tree...

Wang Baole fell silent as he thought about the danger that he, together with Zhuo Yifan and Zhao Yameng, had faced while in the Coulomb Basin—as well as the eeriness of being inside the giant tree.

The giant tree can assimilate cultivators and control them. To a certain degree, it could also mimic their voice transmissions, making it difficult for people to differentiate between the real and the fake...

The skies of the Mystic Luna Realm are filled with wood grains as well...

It seems like the transformation of the Mystic Luna Realm is closely related to the large tree. Then... what role did the Galactic Dusk Sect play in all of this? Thinking about all the connections, Wang Baole was shocked.

As there weren’t enough clues, it was difficult for him to analyze the situation accurately. However, the information that he already had was enough to make him feel that all of it encompassed an incredible amount of cunning plots and planning.

That made the sense of danger that he already had even more significant. His breathing gradually began to grow rapid, and his determination to reach the Foundation Establishment realm grew stronger by the moment.

I need to speed up.

Wang Baole took a deep breath. He already had five fragment pieces that were suitable for Foundation Establishment, but it was still a long way to go before he had the required number of twenty pieces.

I can’t use the cruiser here, and the area is large and teeming with danger. To find sufficient unique fragments as soon as possible will be extremely difficult. Wang Baole was somewhat troubled. However, there was nothing he could do but continue activating his devouring seed, charging forward, and continuing his search while staying vigilant.

Just like that, three Earth days passed quickly.

Wang Baole searched for a long time in those three days before he found the sixth fragment. There were two occasions when he met with people from the other factions, but as they seemed foreign and wary of each other, there was no intention for him to make contact and communicate with them.

The people from the other factions hesitated momentarily after sensing the vibe given off from Wang Baole’s sixth fragment. However, they controlled themselves and left hurriedly—though, the chill in their eyes and their desire to contend for the fragments intensified as time passed.

After realizing that, Wang Baole grew even more vigilant.

Right now, all the disciples from the various factions, with the exception of those who already had a penchant for killing and snatching, seem to be able to control themselves. However, if the assistance from the Federation isn’t efficient, coupled with the fact that as time passes the number of fragments one has increases... a single attempt at killing or snatching could allow one to have a go at Foundation Establishment—especially if one is only a few pieces away from reaching the requirements...

When forced to make a choice, the restraint that everyone exercises will dissipate... When that happens, it will be the actual battle between life and death! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes as he continued his search. Soon, after another day had passed, he stopped in his tracks upon reaching a small mountainous region.

It wasn’t that he wanted to rest, but in an area several kilometers in front of him, he could see that there a churning fog was approaching. It seemed like the fog would be able to completely engulf the mountain that Wang Baole was on in no time.

That was the Mystic Trace Fog!

That threw Wang Baole into a dilemma as he hesitated. He had searched a large area of the surrounding region but hadn’t managed to find any unique fragments. If he were to continue like that, he would likely not progress much.

If he were to go to another area, he could perhaps break his dry spell and find something. However, the Mystic Trace Fog was so unpredictable that Wang Baole was worried that he might be transported into a dangerous place.

If only I could control the Mystic Trace Fog... Wang Baole sighed as he looked at the approaching fog. He rubbed his glabella and was about to make a decision when a thought arose in his mind.

I don’t have to control the location where the Mystic Trace Fog sends me. I only need to come up with a way to keep a portion of the Mystic Trace Fog and take it with me... That way, I can use the Mystic Trace Fog to teleport myself as and when I need to. Even if I were to be teleported to the dark side of the Mystic Luna Realm, I can immediately teleport elsewhere!

With that thought, Wang Baole instantly became tempted. He tried to imagine the process in his mind. If he succeeded, not only could he search all the different areas and find the fragments fast, he could also be less worried about safety issues—his top concern at that moment.

If there was someone who dared to provoke him, or if he wasn’t able to fight the other party, he simply needed to release the Mystic Trace Fog and send the other party on a joy ride.

That made Wang Baole even more excited as his eyes lit up brightly.

Once I succeed, it will become my trump card! Wang Baole took a deep breath, retreating quickly as he looked at the Mystic Trace Fog approaching from the distance. On one hand, he was trying to increase the distance between him and the Mystic Trace Fog to buy time, and on the other, he was analyzing and imagining the scenario in his head.

Should I use the Spirit Stones as raw materials? After analyzing the situation, Wang Baole felt that the key advantage of the Dharmic Artifact was that it was able to absorb the fog and store it.

Therefore, as he retreated, he took out the Spirit Stones, carving inscriptions onto them to form a Spirit Kernel.

After half an hour, the Mystic Trace Fog completely enveloped Wang Baole, who was raising a Spirit Stone bead up high. As he disappeared and reappeared in another region, Wang Baole heaved a sigh of relief after realizing that he was still on the front side of the moon, before hurriedly looking at the bead in his hands.

It didn’t succeed... Wang Baole scratched his head. When he recalled what had happened, he realized that even though the bead could store the Mystic Trace Fog within it, the stored fog dissipated as he was being teleported.

I need to improve on it! Without losing steam, Wang Baole immediately researched the matter. As he carved new inscriptions, he continued his search for the fragments at high speed.

After several days, Wang Baole finally found the seventh unique fragment. At the same time, he came across the Mystic Trace Fog again.

In order to build my trump card, I’m going all out! I will definitely succeed this time!Looking at the Mystic Trace Fog, Wang Baole took a deep breath, gritting his teeth as he held the improvised bead and charged directly towards the Mystic Trace Fog. Very quickly, he disappeared, appearing in another region. The Dharmic Artifact that he had tried to refine in order to store the Mystic Trace Fog had failed once again.

Just like that, the first, second, and third attempt passed... A month’s time flew by, and the number of attempts that Wang Baole made grew to nine, including the previous two tries.

He was still considered lucky, as there was only one instance where he was teleported to the moon’s dark side. Thankfully, it was an area on the periphery and not in the depths. However, it was still extremely dangerous, as he met with a Night Immortal that was on a similar level as someone at the Core Formation stage. He was able to escape as he wasn’t teleported right in front of it.

At the same time, he was satisfied with the number of fragments that he had accumulated, which had grown to ten. The only issue was that Wang Baole’s research on the Mystic Trace Fog, despite them being directed improvisations, were all failures.

I don’t believe this. The next time will definitely be a success!
