The thick fog dissipated, the beautiful trees grew, the birds chirped and the flowers blossomed. The forest once again returned to its tranquil state, the spring sunshine rippled the golden wings and reflected on Fan Mu's face through the window of the Green Wood Palace. He slept soundly.
The Cyanwood Palace was still simple and desolate. The mahogany tables and chairs were placed in the center of the hall. The three words' Verdant Wood Palace 'were slightly dim, leaving behind the sound of the passage of time.
”You're awake?” She whispered in a voice that was so beautiful that it could move anyone. ”Fan Mu?”
Fan Mu covered his head with one hand, supporting himself with the other as he slowly straightened his back. ”I can't remember what happened,” he muttered to himself while trying to resist the pain in his head.
”Oh yeah, I remember back then, it seemed like Xu Tianliang …” This, ”Remembering the moment when Xu Tianliang committed suicide, Fan Mu was so shocked that his face turned pale. He immediately stood up and questioned,” You! what have I done? Why am I here? ”
”Relax, I have something to tell you.” The cold face was very gentle, as if she had turned into a completely different person. No one knew what her true appearance was.
”You …” The cold words did not allow Fan Mu to calm down. Fan Mu looked around and found Fan Qin, Xu TIguo, Lingyun, the Blazing Ants, and an unfamiliar person lying behind him.
Fan Mu ran to their side as if he had lost his soul. He tried his best to shake them, but no one heard him, ”Wake up, wake up, woo!” Even though men didn't shed tears easily, Fan Mu's eyes were still clouded with tears as he faced his three brothers who had been killed.
”Alright, alright, don't be sad.” Leng Xiao helplessly shook her head, pouted her tender lips, and said softly, ”They didn't die, they just fainted because of my illusion.”
”What do you mean?” Before Fan Mu's mood could change, he heard the sarcastic remark and couldn't help but laugh. All three of them died in front of me, and you're telling me that they were only hit with illusion techniques?
”Forget it, I know you still can't trust me.” Leng Ying faced the sky and lightly swiped his hand, and a jade bracelet appeared in his hand. After playing with it for a while, he continued, ”Just look at the wound on that child's chest and you will know.”
After hearing what Xue Moyan said, Fan Mu immediately opened Xu Tianguang's clothes. It was just as she had said; there was not the slightest wound. ”This …” Fan Mu still couldn't believe his eyes. He had experienced too many illusions.
”Then how can you prove that I'm not in the illusion world?” Fan Mu was in a complicated mood. He wished that Leng Ning was telling the truth, but did not dare to easily believe her words.
Coldly laughing, Leng Xiao flicked his finger and five soybean-sized pills suddenly flew out, landing in Fan Mu's upper body pocket. ”This is the antidote for them to consume in a while.”
After receiving the antidote, Fan Mu was confused. Just as he was about to retrieve the medicine to save someone, he was stopped by Leng Ying, ”Wait a moment, I have something that I can tell you.”
Sensing the sincerity and goodwill within him, Fan Mu was prepared to trust the person in front of him.
”Don't you want to try out your Yuan Power?” Mo Chen said with a faint smile.
Not mentioning the cold face, Fan Mu had even forgotten about the fact that his shackles had been broken. Summoning his elemental energy core, the black element surged out and Fan Mu was stunned. He had never seen such an elemental energy before and could not remember the scene from his previous fight, ”What is this?”
”Don't worry, the rare Dual Attribute, Light and Darkness,” Having been through so many places, the Dual Attribute was still very rare, to date, almost no one had managed to train this Attribute to the Gold rank. Firstly, because the cultivation of the Dual Attribute itself was extremely difficult to raise, and without major changes, it was generally very difficult to increase one's strength, and secondly, because the two Attribute were targeted by the crowd, many high-level cultivators, in order to obtain the Dual Attribute, did not hesitate to kill those who had just stepped into the path of cultivation.
”Two standards?” Fan Mu looked puzzled. This attribute had never appeared in his dictionary before.
”Do you want to know why the shackles of elemental energy have only been released up to now?” Seeing his expression, Fan Mu couldn't help but want to start from the beginning. He was stunned for a moment before nodding his head.
”The two attributes are obtained from the Sun and Moon God Power. In the ancient times, there was cloud, sun, noon, moon, and night. Three years of divine power is produced, which means that you have to spend an average amount of time absorbing the power of the elements for three years every day.”
The cold face shook the jade rod at his waist and drew a circular mirror. Inside the mirror, a puppet appeared and he was reflected in the mirror. He was meditating during the day and night to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
Fan Mu was stunned. It was his first time coming into contact with such an attribute, and it even happened to him. He could not help but have fantasies.
Cold Face noticed that Fan Mu was a little moved, and continued, ”The reason why you did not unlock the shackles of elemental energy before is because the light and dark elements in your body are difficult to circulate through themselves, especially in your blocked eight meridians.”
Pausing for a moment, he waited for Fan Mu's understanding. Seeing him nod, he smiled slightly, ”The second reason is that the dark elements and light elements often coalesce with each other within the body. If the other party doesn't gather in large numbers, it would be difficult to awaken.”
”So that's how it is?” ”Could it be that you?” When Fan Mu heard this, the doubt in his heart disappeared. So the cold face had been set up to wake him up, but why did it provoke the dark side?
Child, there is no need to be confused, I was only commissioned by one person to wake you up from the dark side. I am also not willing, the gathering of good will is harder than the gathering of bad will, but now that you have awakened, no matter if it is the light or the dark, you can still get close, and choose the right path of the two elements. She spoke a few words, but her expression was extremely sorrowful. This really was a request, or if it was done intentionally with a cold face. Only she herself knew.
”Senior,” said Fan Mu, feeling relieved. Although it was to wake him up, he didn't want to experience it again.
”There's no need to say anything. I don't have much time, just listen to me.” It was gentle and poetic, making it difficult for people to refuse.
”Now I want to explain some of the special aspects of the Two Elements. Since the sun and moon were born, your body is difficult to control, and you can only slowly control it after you awaken three times. And because of this, if you decide to do so, the road ahead will be very long.”
”This is what your mother left you,” Mo Sen said as he slowly raised his slender white hand, an emerald green jade bracelet quietly floating on his right hand.
”...”
Mother? ” These two simple words were forever sealed within Fan Mu's heart. How many years had it been since they'd appeared in front of him? ”What does this mean?”
”You just need to know this much, your mother is pretty good,” Coldface's nose suddenly felt sour as he tilted his head back, retracting the sour smell.
Fan Mu stared at the jade bracelet in his hand, unable to restrain his tears. ”Mother, why didn't you come to see me? Why, quickly tell me.”
”As long as you know this much, that's enough,” Leng Xiao said with a helpless expression, ”There is no time, I will now tell you why your mother brought this to you.”
Fan Mu was immersed in his grief, and as he heard Mo Shen's words, he gradually came to his senses. He also wanted to know why his mother would bring him this item.
”The two attribute jades can only be counted on one hand in the JadHeng Continent. Countless greedy people want to obtain it, and this place is not excluding the fact that there is a terrifying pagan altar in the Western Regions. Sytry, before you reveal your strength, you will end up killing yourself if you reveal your abilities.” His tone became solemn and heavy. Both are a symbol of power and a fragile destiny.
