Chapter 2661: Pretending to be Aloof

"After all this time… you gave me the junk you didn't want…"

After analyzing, Xiao Fan reached this conclusion, his face filled with speechlessness…

"Heeheehee… it's junk to us, but not to you…" Wanxiang said with a giggle.

"Fine then." Xiao Fan sighed.

He had misunderstood the whole time.

The two little fellows, the Enlightenment Seed and Wanxiang, didn't need the ancient artifact to grow, but rather to absorb the Qi within it to make up for their own deficiencies.

To make up for their own… could it be…

Thinking of this, Xiao Fan's expression changed, and he immediately communicated with the star chart through his mind.

"The Enlightenment Seed and Wanxiang… what exactly are their origins?!"

If Xiao Fan's guess was true, then the Enlightenment Seed and Wanxiang likely weren't in this state originally.

The Enlightenment Seed was lacking the Essence of Dao Laws, which is why it needed the ancient artifact to recover.

And Wanxiang… needed another type of Qi contained within the ancient artifact.

Therefore, they might have been extremely powerful before, and only fell into slumber because they lacked Qi!

If that was the case… many of Xiao Fan's previous guesses could be validated.

Unfortunately, the star chart ignored Xiao Fan…

"Hey, speak up, what is going on?" Xiao Fan continued to press.

The star chart still ignored Xiao Fan…

Xiao Fan: "…"

Pretending to be aloof?

Or did he guess correctly?

If he had guessed correctly, then the Enlightenment Seed and Wanxiang had previously belonged to someone!

"Kid, stop guessing, when the time comes… I will tell you everything."

Just as Xiao Fan was letting his imagination run wild, the star chart spoke up.

"Time? When will that be?!" Xiao Fan asked, puzzled.

"When you are strong enough, when in my opinion you can stand on your own…" the star chart said calmly.

Great… another vague timeline.

"Do you understand now? The Essence of Dao Laws is the Qi you are missing…" the Green-haired Elder said slowly.

"I understand, thank you…" the Enlightenment Seed nodded. It also had its own doubts, as if it were missing something, but it just couldn't remember what.

Beside them, Mu Gen nodded to himself… As expected, the Enlightenment Seed was injured, which was why Xiao Fan had come to seize the senluo wood essence!

Xiao Fan was a righteous person!

This was Mu Gen's evaluation of Xiao Fan!

Furthermore, both the Green-haired Elder and Mu Gen understood one thing: the Enlightenment Seed must have voluntarily acknowledged a master.

Legend had it… the Enlightenment Seed, formed from the Essence of Dao Laws, could not be forcibly subdued unless it was mastered and refined before it gained consciousness; otherwise, it would only submit if it was willing.

Although the Wood Spirits were gentle by nature and disliked fighting.

They were not the type to be bullied or trampled upon.

If pushed too far… the Enlightenment Seed would definitely commit self-destruction!

And Xiao Fan, his Realm was currently too low; if one looked back to the beginning, he certainly wouldn't have been able to protect the Enlightenment Seed.

Therefore, there must be a great secret on Xiao Fan.

The Green-haired Elder naturally thought of this, but he didn't expose it… This child must have great Karma attached to him; if he were to rashly get involved, the Green Forest Source Realm might suffer…

Mu Gen had limited experience, so he hadn't thought of this.

"Mu Gen, pass down the order… do not let word of seeing the Enlightenment Seed leak out, do you understand?" The Green-haired Elder looked at Mu Gen.

"Yes, Old Ancestor." Mu Gen nodded and left the place.

The Wood Spirits of the Green Forest Source Realm valued their promises, and they were doing this to protect their own kind.

There was no need to use any means to keep them in check; these Wood Spirits would absolutely not leak the fact that they had seen the Enlightenment Seed.

If this matter were leaked, it was estimated… that Xiao Fan would be in trouble.

At that time, the Enlightenment Sect would also definitely have big trouble.

"Thank you, Senior." Xiao Fan cupped his fists in a bow.

Although the Green-haired Elder didn't explicitly state it, Xiao Fan saw through the other party's intention at a glance: they were protecting them.

"No need to thank me… I said it before, you are a friend of our Wood Spirits clan." The Green-haired Elder said slowly.

The Green-haired Elder's gaze was profound. Sensing the fluctuations of the Power of Laws on Xiao Fan, he asked in surprise: "Wanwu Realm level one… you have mastered the Power of Laws?!"

"This… I have indeed mastered it…" Xiao Fan said with a dry laugh.
