The morning sun shone through the lush leaves of the garden on the White Lotus Peak, illuminating patches of light on its path. A cool breeze smelled faintly of spiritual herbs. Su Ming sat on a smooth stone bench in the open garden, his Essence Sight narrowed on the object floating above his hand.
It was the Hundun core from the Mutated Abyss Earth Tyrant. The core was a jagged, grey-black crystal about the size of a fist. Its outline blurred under his spiritual sense, distorting the space around it. The energy inside felt wild and hard to control.
A soft rustling sound came from the side.
Su Ming did not look up, but his spiritual sense had already noticed her. Hooves that puffed small white clouds stepped on the grass as Yunxiao walked over. She was not acting cold like usual. Instead, the white deer nudged his shoulder, huffing softly. Her antlers brushed his sleeve as she nuzzled his chest.
