With the death of the Void Splitting White Weasel, the crisis the team was facing had been resolved.
Everyone worked together to bury their tragically deceased comrades. For those whose corpses had disappeared, they buried their clothes and armor. They toasted a cup of wine to the deceased, and this was enough as a farewell.
After recuperating for a bit, they continued on their journey.
As for the corpse of the White Weasel, it naturally went to Chu Mo.
This White Weasel possessed a Space Talent. Chu Mo naturally wanted to absorb it. However, because they still needed to hurry at the moment, he temporarily stored it in his storage bag. He wanted to wait until they settled down before he started to absorb it.
The team continued to advance.
Perhaps because they had encountered such a crisis, everyone was much quieter for the rest of the journey, and their vigilance had also greatly increased.
Fortunately, they didn’t encounter any more crises on the road ahead.
That evening, just before dusk fell, they finally arrived at their destination—
Changfeng Base!
“We finally made it!”
The instant they stepped into the base, everyone, including Chu Mo, couldn’t help heaving a sigh of relief.
“Manager Qian, you all finally arrived!”
At this time, several cultivators by the city gate saw Qian Yuan and immediately came forward to greet him.
These people were all Jade Pavilion personnel from Changfeng Base.
“Is that you, Old Sun? Long time no see, you’ve also become a Martial Master?” Seeing the leading personnel, Qian Yuan was delighted and enthusiastically greeted him.
“I was just lucky to make a breakthrough. I estimate that in this life, I’ll probably only reach the Martial Master Realm at most.”
The Martial Artist surnamed Sun said humbly, but a trace of irrepressible joy still showed on his face.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Martial Master Sun asked, “Did you encounter any danger on your way here?”
Hearing this, Qian Yuan sighed, “Don’t even mention it. We ran into a Void Splitting White Weasel along the way and lost quite a few brothers. But fortunately, we still survived… Old Sun, hurry and arrange a place for us to stay. We’re all exhausted from rushing here.”
Qian Yuan gave a perfunctory excuse and didn’t elaborate.
Chu Mo listened from the side, knowing Qian Yuan was keeping it a secret for his sake.
He was only a Mid-Stage Martial Artist right now. However, he could slay a Mid-Tier Level 3 Ferocious Beast like the Void Splitting White Weasel, which possessed a Space Talent. If this were to spread, it would make his name resound far and wide. Unfortunately, it would similarly incite the covetous gazes and wariness of many.
There might even be people who would secretly make a move against him. Even if the possibility was minuscule, he still had to guard against it.
Qian Yuan was old and experienced. He naturally understood this principle. This was his way of protecting Chu Mo.
Naturally, Chu Mo was very grateful to him.
Martial Master Sun was also greatly shocked upon hearing this. But seeing that Qian Yuan didn’t want to elaborate, he didn’t inquire further and immediately took them back to the Jade Pavilion here. He even arranged for them to stay in rooms, which had long been prepared to accept them in.
…
In the evening, after everyone had washed up in their rooms, they went to attend the banquet Martial Master Sun had arranged.
At the dinner table, everyone raised their cups and drank.
They could finally enjoy a rare moment of peace.
Chu Mo ate silently. After a while, when he was full, he said a word to everyone and took the lead in leaving the venue.
Martial Master Sun merely took Chu Mo to be an ordinary Martial Artist, so he didn’t mind.
Returning to his own room, Chu Mo washed his face and took out the Void Splitting White Weasel’s carcass from his storage bag.
This was a Ferocious Beast that possessed a Space Talent!
When they encountered it in the wilderness earlier, it had relied on its Talent to shuttle through space to unpredictably appear and vanish. This had left a deep impression on Chu Mo!
If not for him being able to move at 5 times the speed of sound, along with his comprehension over Saber Force, he would not be able to catch the White Weasel much less slay it.
Perhaps all of them would have died there!
Without a doubt, this was an extremely heaven-defying talent!
If Chu Mo could obtain this Talent through absorption, his strength would definitely increase immensely!
It just so happened that the cooldown for his Absorbing ability had already passed, so he could attempt to absorb it.
Thinking of this, even Chu Mo couldn’t help feeling excited.
Without the slightest hesitation, he directly reached out his hand and touched the White Weasel’s carcass while silently chanting in his heart.
[Absorb!]
The next moment, a golden hand appeared out of thin air and scooped the carcass. When it returned, there was a golden sphere.
The sphere was only the size of a quail egg. It contained an extremely mysterious and special energy. With a glance, it seemed to be directly facing the ultimate truths of Heaven and Earth, making one dizzy and lightheaded.
| Absorption was successful! Obtained Inferior Space Talent! Do you wish to fuse with it? |
[Success!] Seeing this prompt, Chu Mo’s heart suddenly pounded.
“Fuse!” He said without the slightest hesitation.
Accompanied by his words.
‘Boom!’
The golden sphere directly shattered, turning into specks of glowing light that surged into Chu Mo’s mind.
In an instant, intense pain appeared all over his body.
The severity of the pain was even more terrifying than when Chu Mo had integrated the High-Grade Saber Talent before!
It was terrifying to the point that Chu Mo almost immediately fainted.
It was a pain that simply couldn’t be described with words!
If it had to be compared, it was akin to a mass of steel wires constantly kneading Chu Mo’s soul, cutting and shredding his soul into pieces.
His whole body trembled!
Cold sweat poured out!
Drop after drop of sweat flowed down from his body, soaking his clothes and even wetting the floor beneath him as if he had just emerged from a river.
This integration took a very long time. So long that Chu Mo had already forgotten the passage of time.
After an unknown length of time passed, the pain finally began to slowly disappear and the fusion gradually ended.
Soon, all the negative effects completely receded.
“Phew…” Chu Mo directly collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. He no longer had the strength to stand back up.
[That was too terrifying! Nevertheless, the Space Talent is indeed worthy of being called one of the two Supreme Talents alongside the Time Talent! Just integrating an Inferior Grade of this Talent had made me experience such unbearable pain. I was nearly unable to endure it!] Chu Mo thought with lingering fear.
A full half an hour passed before Chu Mo felt like he had recovered some strength, enough to force himself to stand up.
The first thing he did was check his own information.
| Target: Chu Mo Physique: High-Grade Cultivation Physique Talents: High-Grade Saber Talent, Mid-Grade Wind Element Talent, Low-Grade Lightning Element Talent, Inferior Space Talent |
“I finally obtained it!” Seeing the new talent appear on his talent list, Chu Mo wiped the sweat from his forehead.
His suffering had not been in vain! It was all worth it!
“Let’s experience the power of this Space Talent!” Chu Mo was impatient to give it a try.
After fusing with the Space Talent, Chu Mo already knew what abilities he could do.
There were mainly two kinds:
The first was Spatial Awareness. Within a certain range, he could sense the situation around him. As long as there was any movement, even the flow of spiritual energy or the breathing of plants, he could keenly perceive it. Moreover, this form of perception was well concealed and wouldn’t be discernable by others.
The second was Tearing Space! He could tear open space and allow his body to enter the void, appearing in any area within his perception.
To put it simply, teleportation!
