18: Open the Spirit Gathering Array

At this moment, at the bottom of the ocean, inside a cave.

The seawater was blocked at the cave entrance, unable to enter the cave even half a step.

And at this moment, inside the cave, Qin Zhe was sitting cross-legged on the ground, meditating with his eyes closed.

A faint white halo floated around his body, indicating he was in the process of receiving the Legacy.

Receiving an Immortal's Legacy is not something that can be completed instantly; judging by Qin Zhe's situation, it would likely take at least three to five days to finish!

Of course, Qin Zhe's situation was just a minor interlude.

At a pier on the coastline, the people arranged by the Elders Council were still waiting for Qin Zhe's return.

They had already received notification from the Grand Elder, instructing them to wait in place, no matter how long it took; this was their current mission.

Meanwhile, the Grand Elder had also sent people to Heng City to make contact with Li Mu and learn about his character.

Through the satellite images of Li Mu's face captured earlier, his past locations and all his information were quickly filtered out via big data, and his current whereabouts were found.

The person who received this mission felt a sudden inexplicable confusion, completely failing to understand what the Grand Elder meant.

She was told to approach someone?

She didn't need to do much, just get to know him?

What kind of mission was this?

However, she didn't overthink it; completing missions was her duty.

After receiving the mission, she quickly set off towards Heng City.

And at this moment in Heng City, Xing Mulan walked on the street, her face filled with annoyance.

Her purpose in coming to Heng City was to find Li Mu!

Li Mu had clearly appeared right in front of her, yet she hadn't realized it and had simply missed him.

Waaah, waaah, waaah...

Just as Xing Mulan was still walking aimlessly, a nanny van suddenly stopped beside her.

Xing Mulan subconsciously turned her head and saw the car door open, revealing Ke Ming's figure in front of her.

The moment she saw Ke Ming, Xing Mulan's eyes instantly widened.

"Ke..."

"Shhh!!"

Her words were cut short by Ke Ming from inside the car, who then waved her over, inviting her to get in.

Xing Mulan was stunned for a moment, but after realizing what was happening, she didn't hesitate and quickly and smoothly entered the nanny van.

The car door closed the next second.

Inside the car, besides Ke Ming, there was only a driver in the front.

Xing Mulan looked at Ke Ming, and her mind subconsciously thought of the content about Ke Ming in the diary.

However, who knew that the next second she heard Ke Ming opposite her say, "You are Xing Mulan, aren't you?"

Xing Mulan was startled and subconsciously asked, "You... how do you know?"

Seeing Xing Mulan's reaction, Ke Ming smiled, basically confirming her previous question.

She then replied, "My platform has some cooperation with your live streaming platform. This morning, by accident, I saw a video of your live stream, so it wasn't hard to find you."

"Oh..."

Xing Mulan was the kind of person whose thinking was relatively slow; she streamed games, which was why everyone supported her.

At this moment, she was still wondering why Ke Ming was looking for her.

Suddenly, she heard Ke Ming ask, "You also have a diary copy, right?"

Hearing this, Xing Mulan froze, her big, beautiful eyes staring at Ke Ming opposite her, her brain almost crashing.

Ke Ming continued, "I checked your information."

"You originally always streamed from your home in the capital, but after Li Mu revealed his location in Heng City in the diary, you immediately appeared in Heng City."

"So I guessed that you should also have a diary copy, just like me, right?"

As Ke Ming spoke, she took out the diary in her hand and shook it in front of Xing Mulan.

Xing Mulan was completely stunned at this moment, looking at the diary in Ke Ming's hand: "You! You! You..."

Seeing Xing Mulan's reaction, the smile on Ke Ming's face grew wider: "You can indeed see it!"

"I had guessed before, through the incident at that fruit shop in the capital, that I shouldn't be the only one with a diary."

"Moreover, this diary is basically invisible to others, and cannot be captured by anything."

"You can see it because you also have such a diary, right?"

Xing Mulan finally reacted, looking at Ke Ming, then at the diary in Ke Ming's hand.

After a long moment, she nodded, then took out her own diary copy.

On her diary copy, several large characters were clearly written: "Li Mu's diary, Xing Mulan's Copy."

And Ke Ming's naturally also had the same words, only the name Xing Mulan was replaced with Ke Ming.

When she saw the diary in Xing Mulan's hand, Ke Ming became even happier.

Because the diary mentioned that Xing Mulan had seen Li Mu's true appearance, and she also really wanted to know what Li Mu looked like.

She then directly asked this question.

Xing Mulan thought for a moment, then said, "Oh... very, very handsome! He also has a very attractive aura about him; it feels very comfortable to be around him."

Hearing Xing Mulan's words, Ke Ming's eyes instantly lit up.

She quickly pressed, "Do you have his contact information? A photo would work too."

However, Xing Mulan shook her head, looking depressed: "I just couldn't get it, which is why I'm even more upset."

After speaking, Xing Mulan wore a dejected expression: "After seeing this mentioned in the diary, I've been depressed for a long time."

"I came specifically to find him, but when I saw him in person, I didn't recognize him, ugh..."

She didn't notice that Ke Ming, opposite her, had a bright glint in her eyes when she heard her words, pondering something.

.........

And at this moment, in Li Mu's room.

He took out the Spirit Gathering Formation Plate from his Storage Pouch, then injected Spiritual Qi into it, directly activating the Formation Plate.

The next second, the Formation Plate erupted with a dazzling golden light, directly covering the entire room.

The light came quickly and left just as fast.

In just an instant, the light dissipated.

And at this moment, the Formation Plate in Li Mu's hand also displayed various complex runes, enveloping the entire room.

Although it looked profound, he still couldn't sense any Spiritual Qi gathering.

He then looked at the Spirit Gathering Formation Plate and noticed a groove on it; only then did Li Mu remember.

The miscellaneous chapters of the Dao Scripture mentioned that the Spirit Gathering Formation requires Spirit Stones to power it!

He then placed the Spirit Gathering Formation on the ground in front of him, took out a Spirit Stone from his Storage Pouch, and placed it into the groove of the Formation Plate, where it fit perfectly.

The next second.

Li Mu only heard a soft hum, and the Spirit Gathering Formation activated.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi also began to gather into the room...
