The piece of black wood in Nanke's hand suddenly began to glow.
She lowered her head and gazed at that black wood that now seemed like a piece of jade for a very long time, her expression abnormally focused but indifferent as usual. Even her somewhat dull eyes gradually began to grow brighter.
Through this black piece of wood, she clearly perceived that a connection had been formed between her and that tall and distant mausoleum.
There was something within the mausoleum that was incessantly calling out to the Soul Wood, and at the same time inviting her.
Before she entered these Plains of the Unsetting Sun, she did not know what this black wood her teacher had given her was made of, but now she knew everything.
This was the core of the Mausoleum of Zhou, or a part of its core. The other part lay within the Mausoleum of Zhou.
She could not use this black wood to control the Mausoleum of Zhou, but she could use it control that tide of monsters behind her.
