Qingxu Temple, the forbidden grounds of the rear mountain.
Inside the dim, secret chamber, rows of wooden shelves lined the stone walls, holding the life tablets that represented the life or death of the undercover disciples.
Only two life tablets remained undamaged.
The Sect Leader of Qingxu Temple, Xuanyuan, was clad in a black Daoist robe, sitting upright and solemn upon a rush mat cushion.
On the stone platform before him, a Spirit Fruit, crimson all over and covered in strange patterns, was emitting a faint spiritual glow.
The glow was faint, yet steady and persistent.
This was the mother fruit of the [Heart-Connected Fruit].
And this steady glow was proof that three hundred li away, in the Guixi Sect, the child fruit had been successfully activated!
Xuanyuan's heart leaped with joy, and even the solemn muscles of his face twitched slightly.
He slowly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing through them before vanishing.
'It worked?!'
