Xiao Mu took out his cellphone and called Zhao Qian directly, but it took Zhao Qian a long time to answer the call.

"Hello, Brother Zhao, long time no see." Xiao Mu smiled at Zhao Qian on the screen.

Zhao Qian replied with confusion, "Is that you, Brother Xiao? Where have you been lately? I've been looking for you everywhere."

Xiao Mu felt awkward and didn't know how to answer; he had assigned Zhao Qian to the Logistics Department to manage various mutated plants and then ran off himself.

"Ahem! I went out for a task. What have you been up to lately?"

Xiao Mu cleverly changed the subject.

Ever gullible, Zhao Qian's attention was diverted, and he picked up a grey, pyramid-shaped soil chunk about the size of his palm, showing it off to Xiao Mu like a treasured find, "Brother Xiao, guess what this is?"

Xiao Mu looked at the grey soil chunk and immediately became serious, "Chaos Soil!"

The grey soil was imbued with a large amount of Chaos Power, and even through the cellphone screen, Xiao Mu could feel the surging energy.

Chaos Power erodes everything, turning anything it touches into chaos, whether real or imaginary.

There was no doubt the soil in Zhao Qian's hand was mixed with a large amount of Chaos Power. What surprised Xiao Mu was that the soil had not been eroded by the Chaos Power; it must have mixed with the Chaos Power for a long time until they completely fused together, so Xiao Mu called it Chaos Soil.

Zhao Qian said in a mysterious tone, "Brother Xiao, after my research, I found that inside this Chaos Soil there's a pathway to a world that doesn't actually exist."

How could that be?

Xiao Mu's first reaction was that it was ludicrous. Under the erosion of Chaos Power, nothing can be preserved, whether it was a fictional or a real object.

The so-called pathway was most likely Zhao Qian's imagination. If there really was a pathway inside the Chaos Soil, why wouldn't it be eroded by the Chaos Power?

Wait, what did Zhao Qian say? A non-existent pathway? What does that mean?

Unable to help himself, he asked: "Brother Zhao, what is a non-existent pathway?"

Zhao Qian scratched his head, apologetically, "I can't explain it clearly, but essentially, this pathway doesn't actually exist. It seems to be hidden by some kind of peculiar method, and right now, I am trying hard to uncover it."

Brother Zhao, do you even understand what you're saying?

Xiao Mu found it both laughable and absurd, having no idea what Zhao Qian was talking about, and he even wondered if Zhao Qian understood his own words.

As Zhao Qian spoke more and more excitedly, "Brother Xiao, I've figured out some ways to uncover the pathway, and even within the depths of this non-existent pathway, I discovered another power that is not of Chaos."

"Ahem!"

Xiao Mu hastily coughed to cover his embarrassment. Brother Zhao, that's too profound for me, beyond my comprehension. If it doesn't exist, how did you discover that there is a power beyond Chaos within the depths of the pathway?

Xiao Mu did not argue but instead offered his congratulations, "Then I wish Brother Zhao success in your research, and hope you find that non-existent pathway soon. By the way, Brother Zhao, the reason I contacted you is to ask for a mutated plant."

"A mutated plant? My mutated plants have become more powerful. Will one be enough for you, Brother Xiao? Do you want a few more?" Zhao Qian immediately brightened at the mention of his mutated plants, his creations that he was so proud of that he wished everyone knew about.

"No need, no need, one is enough."

Xiao Mu hurriedly declined, not daring to ask for more. Those involved the strange creatures related to the Hongmeng Taoist Master, and having too many around, Xiao Mu was worried the Hongmeng Taoist Master might find him through the plants.

"Really? Brother Xiao, my mutated plants have changed again; are you sure you don't want a few more?" Zhao Qian thought Xiao Mu was being modest and deliberately asked again.

"One is enough, thank you for your kindness, Brother Zhao, really, one is enough!" Xiao Mu hurried to dissuade him.

"What a pity, I was thinking of giving you a few more," Zhao Qian said with a show of regret, "Pay attention and be ready to receive it, Brother Xiao. I will send someone through your temple immediately to get it to you. By the way..."

Speaking of which, Zhao Qian again became mysteriously secretive, "My mutated plant has a new variation with another power, you'll get to experience it closely once you get it."

Another power?

Xiao Mu felt chills at the prospect. What could it be, a power that could mingle with Hongmeng Power? He didn't even dare to imagine.

Fortunately, he would find out the result soon.

Not long after hanging up the call, Xiao Mu sensed someone trying to contact him through Divine Sense. Shifting his awareness, he received a mutated plant from Zhao Qian's assistant.

The mutated plant's appearance hadn't changed much, looking like an ordinary potted plant, but this plant didn't require soil to grow; it was air-planted inside a large glass bottle.

Through the glass, one could see the scenario of the plant's root system. The roots of the mutated plant didn't take root in the air but directly penetrated into another space.

Amazed by this extraordinary display, Xiao Mu kept his distance, recalling Zhao Qian's mention of another force infused into it. He couldn't help but scrutinise the plant's root system closely.

In the roots that originally bore a tinge of purplish-grey, Xiao Mu then noticed some shallow greyish-black.

Chaos Power!

Xiao Mu was startled.

The amount of Chaos Power mixed into the root system of the mutated plant was little compared to Hongmeng Power, but somehow, Zhao Qian had used an unknown method to forcefully fuse these two Supreme Powers by using the mutated plant.
