Chapter 2774: Saji Planet
2774 Saji Planet
Observing multiple ice spikes homing in on Qiong Hao's head simultaneously, Shi Lang urgently cried out, "I implore you, spare him!"
/This can't be happening. If Qiong Hao meets his end like this, our Mercenary Group's overall strength will unquestionably plummet even further./
Mercenary groups of the fifth tier like ours merely boasted seven or eight grand spiritual cultivators at level 12. Naturally, Shi Lang was vehemently averse to witnessing any of them meet an unjust demise here.
...
He swiftly unsheathed twin daggers from his belt and deftly positioned himself before Qiong Hao, successfully intercepting the oncoming ice spikes.
Qiao Mu's eyes gleamed with intensity as she flung several thunder spirit talismans that detonated above the pair's heads. Concurrently, she expertly launched a series of silver needles, each streaking through the air like flashes of light.
Given Qiong Hao's struggle to ascend from standard class, he was ill-prepared for the sudden assault of these silver needles. Consequently, his body convulsed, and he crumpled to the ground.
"Ah!" Qiong Hao experienced a surge of spiritual energy coursing through his body in chaotic collision with his spiritual meridians. It twisted and twined in a state of disarray.
Qiao Mu summoned the Startled Swan Dagger from her mental repository. In the instant before plunging it once more, she abruptly seized Mo Lian's hand. Her countenance shifted imperceptibly as she exclaimed, "I-I'm in the midst of closed-door cultivation!"
Mo Lian was taken aback, automatically entering a state of alarm at the sight of her turning pale as a ghost. Swiftly regaining composure, he scooped her up, vanishing into the depths of North Wangda Forest without uttering another word.
Witnessing this, Duan Yue and the others promptly gave chase.
Several attendants from Ultramarine Province instinctively cried out in alarm, "Your Highness, Your Highness!"
However, how could they match the velocity of these prominent figures?
"Wait for us in Tempest City." Duan Yue's voice reverberated from afar as he trailed the group.
The company swiftly located a hollow in a tree where they settled Miss Qiao.
Mo Lian then took the lead, pulling Duan Yue along to establish a dual defensive barrier in the vicinity.
Having observed the little lady's groundbreaking progress through multiple advanced levels in the past, Mo Lian had an inkling that her current disruption wouldn't be insignificant.
Over the next several days, they accompanied Qiao Mu as she meditated and cultivated in silence.
At present, Qiao Mu employed her standard-class inner sight to peer into her dantian's Star Domain. There, she witnessed the main planet suddenly ablaze with light.
Among the four planets originally orbiting the main one, only Fish Orchid Planet had been illuminated by the quilt's glow. At this moment, all the spiritual energy within her body flowed toward a terra-yellow auxiliary planet.
A surge of excitement welled up within Qiao Mu. She presumed that this planet was on the verge of unlocking.
Her conjecture led her to believe that once these four planets were all activated, the main planet would likely unveil its secrets.
According to Qiuqiu, she had amassed numerous treasures over time and stashed them all on this main planet.
Just the thought of it made her giddily proud. She couldn't help but wonder about the astounding surprises the main planet might hold in store for her.
The glimmers of light within her Star Domain began to ascend. Following a dazzling radiance, the enigmatic niche abruptly opened, absorbing a substantial amount of the surrounding spiritual energy.
Within Qiao Mu's perceptive gaze, deep within the mystical niche, something that didn't quite resemble spiritual energy caught her attention. Her eyes flickered, followed by a sense of despondency.
/What could it be?/
Before she could delve deeper into contemplation, the mystical niche retracted once more, concealing itself amidst the roots of the sapling. It continued to voraciously consume and expel the spiritual energy from all living beings in the world.
With no other recourse, she collected her thoughts, sealed her senses, and swiftly directed her divine consciousness inward, channeling spiritual energy to hone her muscles and bones.
Several days elapsed in this manner, during which the bulk of the spiritual energy in North Wangda Forest congregated here, giving rise to a swirling vortex with an inward surge.
Saji Planet was awakened.
Qiao Mu's eyes fluttered open, resembling whirling constellations of star fragments.
