“The falling flowers at Jiyun Mountain must also be beautiful. If I get the chance, I would like to see them.”

Since Jiyun Mountain is where the Wanderer Base is located, they knew exactly what that meant.

If the Zheng Family dared to touch his family again, the next time the splendor would fall, it would be Jiyun Mountain.

It was pity that the five people from Zheng Jianhui still had no idea who the other’s younger brother was, and they felt an extreme sense of frustration.

Yet, they didn’t dare to look back, as even now they couldn’t shake off the image of that terrifying white storm and the shattering of their Life Bases from their minds.

This time it was because the other person’s relative didn’t die, but what if they had? They didn’t dare even to imagine.

The person didn’t die, and so that person killed Zheng Guyuan and even crushed the Life Bases of five Ascenders.

If that person had died, they couldn’t imagine what the scene would have looked like the moment flower petals fell from Jiyun Mountain, likely rivers of blood would flow.

Perhaps some Ascenders might be able to withstand that storm of white petals, but 99% of the people from the Wanderer Base would die.

They couldn’t understand why the Life Base of an Ascender appeared that way.

Shouldn’t a Life Base be like a sword or a dagger, or something of that sort? Why would someone’s Life Base be a storm – and a freaking storm of flower petals, no less, even more terrifying than a thousand swords being unsheathed, where every petal is like a sharp blade? In that terrifying accumulation, everything gets crushed to smithereens.

Lin Shen didn’t get to witness the beauty of the falling flowers, as he was fast asleep holding an Ascension Egg at that time.

When he awoke, Lin Shen’s complexion wasn’t very good.

Holding great expectations for the Ascension Egg, he discovered that the mosaic on the egg had disappeared, but all he got was a failed Super-Base Evolutionary Seed.

[Failed Super-Base Evolutionary Seed – Stairway to Heaven: The left and right foot can step on each other to harness momentum and leap again.]

“What exactly are the conditions for forming a Seed? Why does it seem so random?” Initially a bit disappointed, Lin Shen’s eyes suddenly lit up after figuring out what skill his Seed provided.

“This is really quite unscientific,” Lin Shen rejoiced inwardly.

Nothing else mattered because, with this skill, what’s the difference between it and having the ability to fly?

You, Tian Xin, have wings that let you fly, while I can step on my right foot with my left for a double leap. Next time I meet Tian Xin, I won’t be afraid of him flying to the skies anymore.

Of course, the benefits of Stairway to Heaven stopped there. Being able to harness force for a second time in the air meant he wouldn’t have to fear being ambushed when he leaped into the sky and couldn’t find leverage.

Lin Shen found a secluded spot to test it out, and the feeling of ascending again after stepping on his right foot with his left was truly splendid. After stepping several times, just like ascending a stairway to heaven, he reached a great height, and Lin Shen suddenly realized something very distressing – he had no idea how to land from such a height.

“Damn it,” Lin Shen could only let himself fall for a while before using Stairway to Heaven again to leap up a short distance, and then fall and leap again, until he was at a height that wasn’t too high off the ground before landing directly.

“I’ve got the ability now, but I still need to practice the technique,” Lin Shen put away the Ascension Egg after returning.

He didn’t plan to hatch the Ascension Egg now because even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to use it.

Mutators, even if they have the key, can’t activate the Ascension Pet Capsules; they must have the corresponding level and strength to do so.

Lin Miao was still unaware of Lin Xiangdong fending off the Wanderer Base. The next morning, she transported a batch of goods to Sea Corn Base.

Before leaving, she repeatedly warned Lin Shen not to go to those dangerous places.

After seeing off Lin Miao, Lin Shen considered whether he should join Bai Shenfei and go to Realm King Planet together.

He didn’t have a rebellious bone in his body, nor was he in a rebellious phase; because he felt that place wasn’t dangerous to him anymore, he wasn’t really disobeying his elder sister, right?

“Fourth Brother should still be reliable, right?” After much hesitation, Lin Shen still decided to find Bai Shenfei and join her on her trip to Realm King Planet.

But by the time he arrived at Bai Shenfei’s place, the owner told him that the Goddess Consort had left the store an hour earlier.

Lin Shen quickly led Wei Wufu toward Gourd Mountain, racing to find her before Bai Shenfei could reach there; only then it wouldn’t be too late.

The two men spurred their horses into a furious gallop, chasing relentlessly.

After passing through Flower Path and the gorges, they still hadn’t spotted any trace of Bai Shenfei and her company, a chill instantly settling in their hearts.

“Something’s wrong!” Just as Lin Shen was about to turn back, he suddenly realized something was amiss and looked up toward the distant mountain range.

Among those numerous mountains, there stood a gourd-shaped peak, conspicuously towering above the surrounding landscape and much taller than the other mountains.

“Wei, do you see it?” Lin Shen, thinking his eyes were playing tricks on him—without the Dark Bird, how could he see Gourd Mountain?

“Hmm,” Wei Wufu nodded.

“Then there’s no mistake, let’s hurry, Bai Shenfei and her group should be just ahead.” Lin Shen thought it must be because Bai Shenfei had just entered that they were able to see Gourd Mountain.

They increased their pace and rushed toward the direction of Gourd Mountain.

Upon reaching the foot of Gourd Mountain, they realized that the mountain was indeed quite tall.

“Wei, was this where you came last time?” Lin Shen asked Wei Wufu while climbing upward.

“Yes.”

“That’s good then, let’s quickly climb up. The cave entrance is at the peak, right?” Lin Shen confirmed once more.

“Yes.”

“Wei…”

“Stop blathering, climb the mountain.”

After considerable effort, the two finally reached the peak but still did not see Bai Shenfei and the others.

As Wei Wufu had said, there was a cave at the top. Lin Shen looked inside and felt it didn’t seem as dark as Wei Wufu had described.

“Let’s go.” Wei Wufu couldn’t stand Lin Shen’s hesitation and stepped into the cave.

However, after Wei Wufu entered, he suddenly froze.

Lin Shen, following him in, bumped straight into his back, somewhat exasperatedly saying, “Why did you stop?”

“Something’s not right,” Wei Wufu stated blankly, staring ahead.

“What’s not right?” As soon as Lin Shen spoke, he already began to register what was amiss.

Wei Wufu had told him that the last time they came here and entered the pitch-black cave, they were immediately transported to Realm King Planet.

Yet now that they were inside the cave, it was neither pitch-black nor had it transferred them to Realm King Planet.

“Are you sure this is the same cave you visited before?” Lin Shen circled around the tall Wei Wufu and peered into the cave.

With that look, Lin Shen also became stunned.

The cave wasn’t very deep; one could see to the end with just a glance.

Clearly, there were signs that someone had lived there—tables, chairs, stools, pots, pans, and the bed even had neatly folded blankets and clothes.

However, thick dust covered everything, suggesting that no one had lived there for a long time.

“That object’s shape looks very familiar.” Lin Shen saw something on the table that looked much like a transport watch, also covered with a thick layer of dust, obscuring any detail.
