Chapter 729: A Minor Trouble
After sensing it for a moment, Qin Sang discovered that the lightning cocoon was exceptionally stable. Even if he stored it within his Qihai, he had no reason to worry about it exploding.
However, the outcome of this mutation remained unknown. It could be either good or bad. Perhaps it would grant a new supernatural ability, or perhaps it might disrupt its inherent bloodline ability and turn it into a useless husk.
Fortunately, such mutations rarely affected the final metamorphosis.
Since the Sky-Eyed Butterfly had taken the initiative to devour it, and it involved the rare power of lightning, the final result shouldn’t turn out too poorly.
"Will it gain a lightning-based ability and evolve into a lightning butterfly?"
Qin Sang found himself filled with anticipation.
Above the cave, thunderclouds still loomed heavily in the sky, but the most refined white mist had already been consumed by the butterfly. After scanning the area to ensure nothing was overlooked, Qin Sang recalled the flying yaksha and retraced his path back.
Once he left Redleaf Island, the journey became significantly easier.
Qin Sang returned to Green Hylia Island and waited for a merchant ship to arrive. Once it docked, he boarded and set sail for his chosen destination: Five-Elemental Islands.
Five-Elemental Islands weren't a single landmass but five smaller islands located near one another. Cultivators had simply named them after the five elements, such as metal and wood, and collectively referred to them as Five-Elemental Islands.
The cultivators stationed on each of the five islands supported and watched over one another. In that stretch of ocean, they had managed to secure a fragile foothold.
The reason for the separation was due to frequent beast tides. Following the principle of having multiple places to retreat to, if one island was attacked, cultivators from the others could rush to help. Once the tide receded, they would seize the opportunity to reclaim the lost ground.
