Chapter 3654: 4.1254 What Is This Thing?

Meanwhile, Qiao Mu, deep in meditation, had her entire focus concentrated on the depths of her Spiritual Void Realm.

She had noticed several times before that there was something within her Spiritual Void Realm.

After her Primordial Essence Water was completely integrated and the Heart of Xuanji was fully absorbed, logically, there shouldn't have been any other foreign objects within her Spiritual Void Realm.

Qiao Mu stared at the depths of her Spiritual Void Realm for a long time, and sure enough, she finally noticed a clue.

The previously vague and unclear mass.

For some reason, it had recently become increasingly transparent and distinct.

It was something enveloped in white mist.

Each time the Spiritual Void Realm expanded to absorb spiritual energy, it would emit a soft, lustrous white light. Immediately after, one-third of the spiritual energy absorbed into the Spiritual Void Realm would silently disappear.

Qiao Mu finally understood now. Besides Qiuqiu, that little devourer constantly absorbing the purest spiritual energy from heaven and earth for her, this other devourer was also absorbing it?

It's just that this misty, devouring entity had always been hidden deep within Qiuqiu's roots. Being only the size of a palm, it was easily overlooked.

So she had never realized that this thing was also absorbing her internal spiritual energy.

What could it be?

Qiao Mu wasn't particularly panicked. This mass of mist had likely been embedded in her Spiritual Void Realm for over ten years. If it intended to harm her, it would have done so long ago.

It seemed to merely absorb spiritual energy from time to time, much like Qiuqiu, as if storing it. It didn't seem to cause much harm to her body.

However, with this thing doing its part, her cultivation became even more arduous.

When absorbing spiritual energy, if others could absorb ten parts, Jojo had to give five parts to the little tree (Qiuqiu), three parts to this misty entity, leaving her with a meager two parts for herself.

Fortunately, as Qiuqiu grew stronger, so did she. After Qiuqiu merged with Fragment Little Four this time, Qiuqiu got the meat, and she at least got to sip some broth.

Cough, it was just this broth, but it was enough for her to leap from the minor accomplishment stage of a Thirteenth-level Grand Spiritual Master to the Fourteenth-level Grand Spiritual Master realm.

As for the specific minor realm she would reach, that would ultimately depend on her comprehension and talent.

Qiao Mu cultivated above the sea for a full twelve days, like a long whale drawing in water, swallowing a hundred rivers. The spiritual energy of the entire Yulan Star was almost completely absorbed by her before she completed this advancement and slowly opened her eyes.

In reality, only one day had passed in the outside world.

Qiao Mu exhaled, then looked around at the thin spiritual energy, frowning slightly.

After her absorption this time, the spiritual energy in Yulan Star would probably need some time to recover.

It seemed she would have to move her companions to Shaji Star or Forest Star to cultivate for now, otherwise, with such thin spiritual energy, the cultivation effect would naturally be poor.

Qiao Mu floated back from the sea to the shore. As soon as she stood still, she was swarmed by a group of people.

"Oh my Jojo, you're finally awake!" Qi Xuanxuan darted to her, pulling her and scrutinizing her from head to toe. "Jojo, what realm are you in now?"

She looked at Qiao Mu with a face that suggested she had lost the will to live. "Have you already broken through to a Fifteenth-level Grand Spiritual Master?"

Qiao Mu shook her little head. "No way that fast. I'm just at the great accomplishment stage of a Fourteenth-level Grand Spiritual Master now. Still a long way to go!"

Everyone chuckled, rolling their eyes in unison.

"Trusting that person would be foolish!"
