He wondered if this set of jade beasts was the same as the one Hu Bayi had discovered. He picked them up one by one to extract their Beyonder Characteristic, successfully obtaining a unique attribute from each. By the time the characteristics from all the jade beasts had been extracted, the six segments fused into one.
Beyonder Characteristic: Mother Gu of Gu Sorcery.
This was a "Mother Gu" that condensed the essence of Gu Sorcery. Once fused into an insect, it could serve as the core for performing Gu Sorcery. It reminded him of the Gu Mother characteristic he had obtained previously; the two were similar in that one controlled Gu insects, while the other mastered Gu Sorcery. Zhao Ze fell into deep thought. It seemed as though there was some interesting potential in the interplay between Gu insects and Gu Sorcery, though the thought had barely surfaced before it vanished. He felt vaguely that some details were not yet clear, perhaps requiring a calmer state of mind or new experiences before he could achieve a breakthrough.
