246 Transforming the Mystic Trace Fog (2/2)

After realizing that, Wang Baole grew even more vigilant.

Right now, all the disciples from the various factions, with the exception of those who already had a penchant for killing and snatching, seem to be able to control themselves. However, if the assistance from the Federation isn't efficient, coupled with the fact that as time passes the number of fragments one has increases… a single attempt at killing or snatching could allow one to have a go at Foundation Establishment—especially if one is only a few pieces away from reaching the requirements…

When forced to make a choice, the restraint that everyone exercises will dissipate… When that happens, it will be the actual battle between life and death! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes as he continued his search. Soon, after another day had passed, he stopped in his tracks upon reaching a small mountainous region.

It wasn't that he wanted to rest, but in an area several kilometers in front of him, he could see that there a churning fog was approaching. It seemed like the fog would be able to completely engulf the mountain that Wang Baole was on in no time.

That was the Mystic Trace Fog!

That threw Wang Baole into a dilemma as he hesitated. He had searched a large area of the surrounding region but hadn't managed to find any unique fragments. If he were to continue like that, he would likely not progress much.

If he were to go to another area, he could perhaps break his dry spell and find something. However, the Mystic Trace Fog was so unpredictable that Wang Baole was worried that he might be transported into a dangerous place.

If only I could control the Mystic Trace Fog… Wang Baole sighed as he looked at the approaching fog. He rubbed his glabella and was about to make a decision when a thought arose in his mind.

I don't have to control the location where the Mystic Trace Fog sends me. I only need to come up with a way to keep a portion of the Mystic Trace Fog and take it with me… That way, I can use the Mystic Trace Fog to teleport myself as and when I need to. Even if I were to be teleported to the dark side of the Mystic Luna Realm, I can immediately teleport elsewhere!

With that thought, Wang Baole instantly became tempted. He tried to imagine the process in his mind. If he succeeded, not only could he search all the different areas and find the fragments fast, he could also be less worried about safety issues—his top concern at that moment.

If there was someone who dared to provoke him, or if he wasn't able to fight the other party, he simply needed to release the Mystic Trace Fog and send the other party on a joy ride.

That made Wang Baole even more excited as his eyes lit up brightly.

Once I succeed, it will become my trump card! Wang Baole took a deep breath, retreating quickly as he looked at the Mystic Trace Fog approaching from the distance. On one hand, he was trying to increase the distance between him and the Mystic Trace Fog to buy time, and on the other, he was analyzing and imagining the scenario in his head.

Should I use the Spirit Stones as raw materials? After analyzing the situation, Wang Baole felt that the key advantage of the Dharmic Artifact was that it was able to absorb the fog and store it.

Therefore, as he retreated, he took out the Spirit Stones, carving inscriptions onto them to form a Spirit Kernel.

After half an hour, the Mystic Trace Fog completely enveloped Wang Baole, who was raising a Spirit Stone bead up high. As he disappeared and reappeared in another region, Wang Baole heaved a sigh of relief after realizing that he was still on the front side of the moon, before hurriedly looking at the bead in his hands.

It didn't succeed… Wang Baole scratched his head. When he recalled what had happened, he realized that even though the bead could store the Mystic Trace Fog within it, the stored fog dissipated as he was being teleported.

I need to improve on it! Without losing steam, Wang Baole immediately researched the matter. As he carved new inscriptions, he continued his search for the fragments at high speed.

After several days, Wang Baole finally found the seventh unique fragment. At the same time, he came across the Mystic Trace Fog again.

In order to build my trump card, I'm going all out! I will definitely succeed this time! Looking at the Mystic Trace Fog, Wang Baole took a deep breath, gritting his teeth as he held the improvised bead and charged directly towards the Mystic Trace Fog. Very quickly, he disappeared, appearing in another region. The Dharmic Artifact that he had tried to refine in order to store the Mystic Trace Fog had failed once again.

Just like that, the first, second, and third attempt passed… A month's time flew by, and the number of attempts that Wang Baole made grew to nine, including the previous two tries.

He was still considered lucky, as there was only one instance where he was teleported to the moon's dark side. Thankfully, it was an area on the periphery and not in the depths. However, it was still extremely dangerous, as he met with a Night Immortal that was on a similar level as someone at the Core Formation stage. He was able to escape as he wasn't teleported right in front of it.

At the same time, he was satisfied with the number of fragments that he had accumulated, which had grown to ten. The only issue was that Wang Baole's research on the Mystic Trace Fog, despite them being directed improvisations, were all failures.

I don't believe this. The next time will definitely be a success!
