Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Chapter 388: 229. Thorn Fairy! The Sun-Moon Sacred Land's Plan!

Seeing Qi Qingmo researching a Beast Core, Lin Zichen curiously sat beside her and watched for a while.

As he watched, he also took out the Beast Core from the Three-Eyed Demon Tribe he had obtained from his Storage Space and began to study it just like Qi Qingmo.

"Give that Beast Core to me, it won't do much for you," Qi Qingmo stated matter-of-factly as she took a liking to the Beast Core in Lin Zichen's hand.

Hearing her words, Lin Zichen handed over the Beast Core.

Qi Qingmo was his sugar mommy, his adoptive mother; he had to fulfill his filial duties.

That way, if he ever faced danger in the future, he could brazenly shout, "Mom, save me!"

Qi Qingmo accepted the Beast Core and indifferently said, "I'm now studying the special power contained in the Beast Cores to see if it can replace Spiritual Energy."

"If it's possible, I can return to my Peak Strength, and with a single thought, create a Defensive Formation, claim territory as my own, and establish my own sect."

"Once the Array is in place, you won't have to worry about being attacked on Earth."

A defensive great array?

At these words, Lin Zichen's eyes lit up.

He needed the safe haven Qi Qingmo spoke of, now more than ever.

Not for himself, but for his and Shen Qinghan's parents.

Their parents were ordinary people with almost no ability to counter evolving powers.

Lin Zichen worried that his existence might one day bring disaster upon his parents.

For instance, enemies could take his parents hostage.

Or worse, out of spite, the enemies could kill them.

All these scenarios were very much possible.

Now that Qi Qingmo said she could establish a place of refuge once she regained her Peak Strength, Lin Zichen was filled with hope.

"Pavilion Master, the special power within the Beast Cores is called Origin Force. Many strong individuals on Earth have researched it. I'll find the related research documents for you," Lin Zichen said as he took out his phone to open a special website and entered "Origin Force" into the search box.

Soon, many research document titles appeared on the screen.

Lin Zichen opened one of the documents and handed his phone to Qi Qingmo, saying, "Pavilion Master, see if this is of any help to you."

"Hmm, let me take a look."

Qi Qingmo took the phone and began seriously browsing the content of the document.

After a moment, she nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Very good, what's inside is of great help to me, allowing me to better understand the special energy called Origin Force."

Lin Zichen smiled as well, "That's good to hear."

Qi Qingmo opened the next research document and said to Lin Zichen, "You should go rest. I will need your blood later tonight."

"Alright, I'll go rest in the room then," Lin Zichen said, then headed toward the bedroom, not wanting to disturb Qi Qingmo's research on the Beast Core.

Shen Qinghan quickly followed him upon seeing this.

Back in the room, they didn't lie down on the bed right away, but took two sets of clean clothes and went to take a shower.

Whenever they returned from the outside, they needed to shower before getting into bed; otherwise, it was too dirty.

Unless one could cleanse themselves with just a thought, like Qi Qingmo could.

...

After spending a few minutes taking a cold shower.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan returned to the room to rest.

Shen Qinghan, naked, lay down on the bed and fell asleep shortly.

She had been too exhausted while they were downtown and needed rest.

Lin Zichen didn't sleep and quietly lay beside her, looking at his phone.

He was reading the news.

He wanted to follow up on the downtown situation.

After a while, seeing no valuable information, he turned off the news and opened WeChat.

His WeChat was flooded with red dots, indicating many unread messages—it was time to check them.

He glanced and saw that nearly every group chat had 99+ messages.

There were also many personal messages, from people like Lü Qingyu, Li Chuxin, Zhang Kai, and so on.

Lin Zichen clicked on the small group chat he had joined half a year ago during military special training to see more than a dozen messages mentioning him.

Li Moyu, Luo Yongjian, and Ma Xiwei were all tagging him, puzzled at how he could control vines like a traitor of the Divine Plant Cult in the city center, and asked what was going on. Discover exclusive content at M-V-L

Lin Zichen replied briefly: The reason I was able to control the vines to attack the Exotic Beasts is that I have a very special trait, I can't say anything more about it.

Having replied, he no longer paid attention to the messages in the group but opened the chat with the mechanical genius girl, Lü Qingyu.

He saw that Lü Qingyu had sent him a bunch of videos and pictures.

They were from the downtown area.

To be precise, they were of the mysterious cavern there.

Lü Qingyu had stayed downtown to explore the cavern with her master, taking many videos and pictures along the way, which she sent to Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen was very interested in the cavern and started watching the videos one by one.

The video showed Lü Qingyu going deeper into the cavern, filming the surroundings while talking non-stop about her experience inside the cavern for Lin Zichen.

She explained how the cavern had air, suitable humidity, and temperature, no different from the surface, which was rather magical.

She talked about the many excavation marks of the Giant Mutant Rats in the cavern, confirming that the rats had dug them out.

She said the deepest part of the cavern reached twenty thousand meters, which was stunning.

She mentioned an Underground Palace deep in the cavern with a newly opened biological passage.
