Chapter 321 What you've seen is just the tip of the iceberg
Jiang Mo carefully noted down the information on the star map, then turned to the others: "Alright, our objective is clear."
"Next, we must find the core elements of water, earth, wood, and darkness to complete the unfinished work of the progenitor of all poisons!"
Feng Baobao and her two companions, along with the Golden Cicada Envoy, responded in unison: "Yes!"
The group left the secret chamber and returned to the surface.
The entire ancient city seemed to sense that the legacy of the progenitor of all poisons had a new successor.
The once lifeless building has begun to come alive again.
The stone scorpion gu have lost their aggressiveness and even spontaneously submitted to Jiang Mo, forming a powerful army of gu worms!
"It seems this ancient city and its inhabitants have accepted you as the new King of Ten Thousand Gu," Wei Duoduo said with a smile.
Jiang Mo nodded slightly: "This city and the Gu worms within it are treasures left behind by the progenitor of all Gu. I will make good use of them."
As soon as they stepped out of the city gate, the Sand Scorpion King remained faithfully waiting outside.
Upon seeing Jiang Mo emerge, it immediately prostrated itself on the ground, signifying submission.
"Scorpion King, are you now loyal to me?" Jiang Mo asked.
The Sand Scorpion King let out a low hiss, indicating its approval.
Jiang Mo nodded: "Alright, then you'll stay in this city and act as my representative, protecting this place."
The Sand Scorpion King seemed to understand Jiang Mo's words, letting out another hiss, appearing very excited.
"Jiang Mo, how do we get back?" Feng Baobao asked. "Without the Sand Scorpion King to lead the way, we might get lost in the desert."
Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I've mastered the spatial teleportation technique of the Progenitor of Ten Thousand Gu, and can take everyone directly back to the base."
As he spoke, Jiang Mo formed hand seals, and the Myriad Gu Origin within his body perfectly coordinated with the Golden Gu Divine Power, opening a golden portal in front of everyone!
"The Art of Ten Thousand Gu, the Gate of Space!"
On the other side of the portal was the company's base on the edge of the desert!
"This is amazing!" Feng Baobao exclaimed in amazement. "Is this the inherited power of the progenitor of all poisons?"
Jiang Mo nodded: "This is just the tip of the iceberg. The legacy of the Progenitor of Ten Thousand Gu is far more profound than we imagine."
"Let's go back to base and report to General Manager Zhao. Then we'll prepare to search for the next elemental core."
The group returned directly to the base through the portal.
The staff at the base were stunned to see five people appear out of nowhere!
"What...what's going on?" a special operations team leader stammered.
Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "Mission accomplished. We have found the inheritance of the progenitor of all poisons."
"Contact General Manager Zhao immediately; I have an important matter to report."
The special forces captain snapped out of his daze and quickly sprang into action: "Yes, Mr. Jiang!"
In less than ten minutes, Mr. Zhao's video call was connected.
"Mr. Jiang, how is the mission progressing?" General Manager Zhao asked anxiously.
Jiang Mo briefly recounted his experiences in the ancient city to President Zhao, including how he defeated the Envoy of Ten Thousand Talismans, obtained the inheritance of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Gu, and became the new King of Ten Thousand Gu.
"That's wonderful!" Mr. Zhao exclaimed with delight. "Mr. Jiang truly lives up to his reputation as the successor of the Gu God; he has successfully obtained the inheritance of the progenitor of all Gu!"
"This is a major boon for the company, having a strong leader like you at the helm."
"We will be much more adept at handling various crises in the world of supernatural beings!"
Jiang Mo nodded: "Mr. Zhao, you flatter me."
"However, my mission is not yet complete. Next, I need to find the remaining four elemental cores to finish the unfinished work of the Progenitor of Ten Thousand Gu."
General Manager Zhao immediately stated: "The company will fully support your work! Just let us know what resources you need, and we will definitely provide them!"
Jiang Mo pondered for a moment: "The most urgent thing right now is to find a quiet place to seclude myself for a period of time and consolidate my current strength."
"The origin of all poisons and my golden poison divine power have not yet fully merged; they need time to gel."
General Manager Zhao readily agreed: "No problem! The company has a secret base in the Kunlun Mountains, a quiet environment with abundant spiritual energy, perfect for cultivation."
"I'll arrange for a helicopter to take you there immediately; the journey takes about two hours."
Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "No need for that, I can go directly there. Just tell me the exact location."
Mr. Zhao was somewhat puzzled, but still sent the specific coordinates of the secret base in the Kunlun Mountains.
Jiang Mo glanced at the coordinates, then formed hand seals again, opening a golden portal.
"I'm going there for seclusion now; it's expected to take about a week."
"Once I've consolidated my current power, I'll begin searching for the next elemental core."
Looking at the portal in the video, Mr. Zhao was utterly astonished: "Mr. Jiang's abilities are truly becoming more and more astonishing!"
Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "This is part of the inheritance of the Primordial Ancestor of Ten Thousand Gu, and it will be further improved in the future."
"Then I'll take my leave now. You can contact me via communicator if you need anything."
After speaking, Jiang Mo turned to Feng Baobao and the others: "You all go back to the company headquarters to rest first. I'll contact you again after my seclusion ends."
Feng Baobao nodded: "Take care of yourself, and call us anytime if you need anything."
Jiang Mo nodded in acknowledgment, then stepped into the teleportation portal and disappeared from everyone's sight.
When the other end of the portal appeared before him, Jiang Mo saw an exquisite building built on a cliff.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, and rich in spiritual energy, it is indeed a good place for cultivation.
"This is it." Jiang Mo took a deep breath, feeling the new power within his body.
The fusion of the Myriad Gu Origin and the Golden Gu Divine Power gave his strength a qualitative leap.
But this is far from enough. There is still a long way to go before one can truly reach the level of the King of Ten Thousand Gu.
"Next, we need to consolidate our power and prepare to search for the next elemental core."
Jiang Mo entered the cultivation room, sat cross-legged, and began a week-long seclusion.
This period of seclusion will be an important step for him on his path to becoming the King of Ten Thousand Gu!
The divine power of the Golden Gu circulated within his body, forming a perfect cycle with the origin of all Gu.
The three elemental forces have each found their place, promoting and enhancing each other.
Jiang Mo felt his power growing at an unprecedented rate.
What used to take years to reach can now be achieved in just a few months!
"The legacy of the progenitor of all poisons is indeed extraordinary."
Jiang Mo sighed, "No wonder we were able to cultivate such powerful figures as the Gu God and the Sect Master of the Heavenly Gu Sect back then."
With the integration of the essence of all Gu, Jiang Mo discovered that his understanding and control over Gu had reached a new level.
Whether it's the most common Gu worms or the most complex Gu techniques, they are all under his control, as if they were his own limbs.
More importantly, he can now sense the location of the elemental core.
"Based on the star chart and my current intuition, the core of the water element should be located somewhere in the north with abundant water systems..."
Jiang Mo closed his eyes and focused all his energy on sensing the aura of the water element core.
A blurry image appeared in my mind: blue lake water, towering snow-capped mountains, and a mysterious underwater cave.
