Chapter 104: Suspended Plan, Lying Dormant for Now

Miao State, five hundred li underground.

In a cavernous hollowed-out cave.

Granny Meng stood woodenly under the Transformation Mother Tree, holding a long-handled ladle and stirring a large black cauldron in front of her.

The strange broth in the cauldron continuously roiled, bubbling with bubbles that appeared and vanished in an instant.

It seemed as if it were embodying the essence of life and death.

To her left, on the black crystal throne of the high platform, a shadow wrapped in a black, ethereal cape quietly appeared.

"Elder Shen is dead."

A voice, neither male nor female, distant then near, emanated from the shadow.

"I know. Before you came, his Life Lamp had already been extinguished here in this underground palace,"

Granny Meng said flatly, as she stared at a bubble rising and bursting instantaneously.

The shadow on the throne flickered then descended from the platform, appearing before the great cauldron.
