Chapter 522: Chapter 379: Lost Realm, Completing the Crystal Visualization Technique, Dark Department Purge Operation! (5K)

The shadow paused as it spoke.

"Teacher, there isn’t much time left for you. His consciousness is about to awaken, and the Black Mist Catastrophe from a thousand years ago will also make a comeback..."

The shadow’s figure began to shake violently, its voice becoming fragmented, and its form became increasingly transparent as the mutation caused the soul cocoon to start trembling.

At that moment, Su Mu recalled the evil eyeball that invaded his sea of consciousness, and the sky-covering black hand that sealed the inheritance of the Great Wilderness Four Forms. Su Mu knew in his heart that it wasn’t that the dream shadow did not want to speak directly.

It was some form of restriction from the Master of Black Fog.

Although there were many things Su Mu still wanted to ask, he immediately interrupted the shadow’s continued narration.

"I already know about the catastrophe, you don’t need to continue... I’ll leave Miaomiao to you." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Alright, I will do my best."

"Teacher, good luck..."

Su Mu gazed deeply at the dream shadow and the soul cocoon. With a single thought, he exited the introspection state.

"Teacher, I hope you can succeed this time..."

...

In the hospital room, Su Mu slowly opened his eyes. A clarity shone in his deep eyes.

After this experience, the fog in Su Mu’s mind cleared for the most part, revealing a clear sky!

Search for the Lost Realm.

Complete the "Crystal Visualization Technique," and with the help of the lost crown, Miaomiao could be awakened.

"Moreover, the Lost Realm must also contain the subsequent cultivation technique of the ’Fixed Star Body Refining Technique,’ and the surviving giants can become a major aid in my fight against the catastrophe!"

"But before that, I need to find a soul-rich location to nourish Miaomiao’s soul."

With a clear path in mind, Su Mu let out a soft breath and was no longer confused.

"A soul-rich location, huh?"

Su Mu immediately took out his phone and logged into the Martial Arts Association’s weapon system. As a General Star, his access level had long been raised to the Titled Grandmaster Level.

However, after some searching, Su Mu could only find a single piece of information.

"Constructed through special instruments made with soul crystals?"

Su Mu furrowed his brows slightly, glancing around the hospital room. This room was large, and it was equipped with several massive instruments. From these instruments, a stable flow of spiritual power continuously emitted, clearly mixed with soul crystals.

"This is most likely the soul-repairing instrument that Marshal Yue mentioned, but it’s still not enough."

The dream shadow had just mentioned finding a soul-rich location, indicating that the output of these instruments alone could not be considered soul-rich.

With a decisive thought, Su Mu planned to find Uncle Hong, or look for Marshal Yue and Marshal Qian for inquiries.

He dialed Uncle Hong’s number through a satellite phone.

Soon, sounds of an army marching and military camp activities came from the other end of the line.

"Uncle Hong."

"Su Mu, you’re alive? Hold on, it’s too noisy here, I’ll change to a quieter place first..."

"Alright, it’s not as noisy here. Don’t talk yet, listen to me first. If you’re still in the Beast Cave, find a place to hide for a while."

"Not long ago, the Warning Tower detected a fierce beast, suspected to be an unrivaled fierce beast above the Titled level. In any case, it triggered a Third Level Warning across the entire war zone. Although it has been jointly slain by Marshal Yue and Marshal Qian, the Beast Cave is surely not peaceful right now..."

"And there’s one more thing, never mind, just listen to me — don’t rush back, hide for a while."

Uncle Hong’s tone on the other end of the line was solemn, filled with utmost concern.

"So the bustling scene at the Beast Cave Defense Line earlier wasn’t due to the war zone conducting live exercises... it was because of me?"

Listening to the phone, Su Mu recalled the words of Marshal Yue and Marshal Qian earlier, and a peculiar expression appeared on his face, followed by a touch of emotion in his heart.

"Uncle Hong, I’m actually already back in the war zone."

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the line, then a surprised exclamation, followed by some muttering.

"Wait, you... was that Third Level Warning about you... No way, you haven’t reached such a heaven-defying level yet."

"Are you sure you’re in the war zone now?"

"Yes."

"Good, it’s good that you’re back. You’re really lucky."

After Uncle Hong let out a deep sigh, Su Mu began to inquire.

"Uncle Hong, do you know where in this world is a soul-rich location?"

As the words fell, there was another silence on the other end of the line. Hong Lie let out a light sigh.

"Su Mu, you already know?"

"It’s my oversight. If I was there at that time..."

"Uncle Hong, Marshal Yue has already told me about Miaomiao, this has nothing to do with you or the war zone. You’ve worked hard during this time, Uncle Hong."

Hearing this, Hong Lie at the Beast Cave Defense Line trembled all over and then spoke solemnly.

"Since Marshal Yue told you, I’ll speak plainly. But Su Mu, don’t act impulsively."

"You should know my temperament by now, Uncle Hong. Say whatever you have to say."

Hearing Su Mu’s response, Hong Lie paused, precisely because he was too familiar with Su Mu’s temperament, that he was worried. When Su Mu gets impulsive, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do.

"The attending physician responsible for Miaomiao’s treatment is Director Lin. Director Lin told me that constructing this particular ward cannot cure Miaomiao’s illness. To completely cure her, it would require inviting a Martial Saint of today and leveraging the power of the Martial Saint Tower for treatment."

Leveraging the power of the Martial Saint Tower to cure Miaomiao?

Upon hearing this, Su Mu paused, his eyes glimmered slightly. This method, even if it can’t entirely eradicate the problem, is worth trying.

"The power contained in the Martial Saint Tower forms its own space, but the power contained in different Martial Saint Towers varies..."
