The little Qilin regained its calm and arrogant demeanor, and then strode over to Chu Mo's side with an air of indifference.
His eyes were fixed on the little guy, gleaming, like a strange old man about to kidnap a child.
Chu Mo quickly noticed its abnormality and was immediately dumbfounded. How come this thing is working again?
But he didn't have time to think about it now; he still had many questions to ask this... his adopted son.
"Um, do you know that grandpa who was inside before? Do you know where he went?"
Chu Mo pointed to the bottom of the cave, his eyes filled with solemn anticipation.
No sooner had he spoken than the little guy pouted, then hugged his leg and burst into tears.
She cried so heartbrokenly that it brought tears to the eyes of all who heard it, leaving Chu Mo completely stunned.
What's going on here?
"That grandpa...he ran into...the tree, and then he disappeared."
Chu Mo was immediately stunned: "You mean, he ran into this tree?"
Chu Mo pointed to the big tree behind him.
The little child nodded quickly, then raised his head again, sobbing as he added:
"He also said a lot of things to me... things I couldn't understand, like how he helped me seize this opportunity and told me to stay true to myself."
"Father, what is your true nature...?"
Chu Mo immediately looked thoughtful.
It seems that the little guy's opportunities are not only on his own, but also due to the help of the White Emperor's divine will in his eventual attainment of spiritual power.
It was only with his divine guidance that this towering tree was finally able to attain enlightenment.
He sighed, then smiled at the little guy and explained:
"Your true self is... your initial wishes and thoughts, such as what you most want to do right now?"
"A wish?"
The little guy tilted his head and thought for a while, then wiped away his tears and said with a serious expression:
“I’ve always wanted to go out and see if other places are the same as here, but I couldn’t leave before.”
"Later, Grandpa Bai said that there were many bad people outside and that I shouldn't go out alone. He told me to wait for him here."
"Father, when I grow up, I'll help you fight the bad guys, okay? That way they won't be able to hurt you!"
Hearing these innocent words, Chu Mo felt a warmth in his heart, and then nodded with a big laugh:
"Okay, my name is Chu Mo, and from now on you will be called... Chu Xin."
Chu Xin, original intention, that's good!
Chu Mo looked at the little guy with gentle eyes.
"Oh, I have a name now!" The little child immediately stopped crying and started laughing, then ran around happily.
At this moment, Chu Mo looked at the little Qilin and asked curiously:
What's wrong with you? Have you thought of a solution?
"That's right, I'm the most powerful!" The little Qilin said proudly, its head held high.
His arrogant demeanor made Chu Mo laugh, but inside, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Then tell me quickly, what's the plan?"
The little Qilin gestured with its head toward Chu Xin, who was running around happily: "Look, the solution is in it."
Chu Mo frowned sharply: "You mean, send it into the sea to help me find the Wood Spirit Source Stone? How can that be allowed!"
"Even if it's a wood-attribute spirit, how big is it? And it's only at the Nascent Soul stage. How can it withstand the Forbidden Sea?"
The little Qilin immediately became jealous and said, "Little master, you've only just recognized it as your son, and you're already reluctant to part with it?"
"Don't worry, things that can become spirits from plants aren't as simple as you think. This tree has lived for at least hundreds of thousands of years."
"It has been nourished by spiritual energy for hundreds of thousands of years, and has absorbed a trace of the original essence overflowing from the Golden Spirit Source Stone over the years. In addition, there is your Great Dao Origin and a wisp of the White Emperor's divine thought. This is what has brought it to its current opportunity."
"It might not be good at fighting, but its vitality is absolutely beyond your imagination. Right now, it would be difficult for it to die even if it wanted to."
The little Qilin looked at him with a smug expression and continued:
"Anyway, as long as it cooperates, I will find a way to find the Wood Spirit Source Stone. Just watch me then."
Seeing that the little Qilin spoke with such certainty, Chu Mo immediately felt relieved.
Although this guy is proud, he's generally reliable. Apart from a minor mishap on this voyage, he's never made a mistake.
When Chu Mo appeared on the spirit ship in the Forbidden Sea with Chu Xin and the little Qilin, everyone was stunned.
"Junior brother, where did you find him? He even looks a bit like you. Could he be your son?"
Jiang Youwei pinched Chu Xin's cheek, jokingly, but she was actually shocked.
If she hadn't been able to clearly sense the rich herbal scent emanating from the child, she would have truly believed he was her junior brother's son.
He went out for a while and came back with a monster?
What's going on?
Not only her, but Jiang Jiren and Jiang Shangkun were also shocked, their eyes wide open and their mouths almost unable to close.
This... is actually a plant spirit?
Although these things aren't particularly powerful in combat, each one of them is a rare and precious treasure.
Moreover, most of them are accompanied by some mysterious innate supernatural abilities, with bizarre, magical, and shocking effects.
There are probably very few spirits in the entire Kunlun Realm, and not a single one has been discovered.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some families are secretly raising them, but simply do not show it to outsiders.
Who knows what kind of supernatural powers this one will possess? The Jiang family uncle and nephew watched with burning eyes, their hearts filled with anticipation.
As for Xiahou Ruoxi and Zheng Jingnian, due to their own limitations, they were unable to discern Chu Xin's true form at all.
