1801 Greedy for the Disaster World Faceless Beast

Lin Yuan decided that he would put this Willpower Rune on the back burner for now. It would eventually come of use.

After checking on the new Willpower Rune, Lin Yuan entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

The first thing he did was to take out the green dimensional gem.

He communicated to Morbius in his mind, "Morbius, I can help you to find more of these dimensional gems. But how should I use this one?"

!

Morbius could not hold back the excitement in its voice as it said, "This stone isn't called a dimensional gem, but I can't remember what its name is. I can sense that I need it. Partner, place this gem in one of the dents in my main body, and it will automatically start to fuse with my body. Then, I will fall asleep. Once I'm awake, I'll probably know what this gem is. I might be able to do other things besides spirit-locking feys!"

Lin Yuan's chest tightened when he heard that Morbius was going to fall asleep again.

Lin Yuan was not afraid that he would encounter challenges that he would be unable to handle on his own when Morbius was asleep.

Rather, he really liked being able to communicate with Morbius in his mind.

Morbius was Lin Yuan's lifelong companion, and the two of them had weathered everything together. There were many things that he could not say to Chu Ci that he would not hesitate to tell Morbius.

But now, Morbius was going to fall asleep again.

Given Morbius' record of sleeping duration, Lin Yuan felt that he would not be able to communicate with Morbius for a very long time.

However, Morbius completing itself was a good thing, and it made Lin Yuan happy.

He could sense Morbius' excitement.

Every lifeform looked forward to being improved, and Morbius was no exception.

If Lin Yuan could sense what Morbius was thinking, it was only natural that Morbius also knew what ran through Lin Yuan's mind.

Morbius could tell how Lin Yuan felt and said in a gentle voice, "Partner, I will only need to sleep for eight hours to fuse with the green gem. It won't be too long. Tonight, I'll be able to greet you with a completely new me. In the eight hours, you should think about which feys' abilities you want to release."

Lin Yuan smiled brightly when he discovered that Morbius only needed to sleep for eight hours.

He already knew which feys he was going to unlock. Findd new 𝒔tories on nov/e(l)

First, he was going to release the Jasmine Lily.

He chose the Jasmine Lily because Blackie and Purple Afterglow were both support-type while Rememberling was functional-type.

Healing abilities were much more important than support.

After the team battle, Lin Yuan had a general idea of who the other Radiance Envoys of his batch would be. None of them were pure healing-type spirit qi professionals.

Lin Yuan would have to take up the mantle of healing his teammates.

Blackie's abilities clashed with that of Gao Feng, while Purple Afterglow's abilities clashed with Gu Lang's abilities.

Although Lin Yuan had never fought against Gu Lang or fought beside him, they had all told each other about their feys during the meeting in the Return from Faraway Mansion before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection had started.

Gu Lang's abilities were skewed toward control, and it complemented that of his sacred source lifeform. He would be able to perform multidimensional control.

Rememberling was a functional-type fey and not within Lin Yuan's realm of consideration.

Hence, the Jasmine Lily was Lin Yuan's best choice.

Moreover, the Jasmine Lily's ability Severed Limbs Growth could be combined with the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring to work in conjunction with Rememberling's abilities to give a body back to the revived souls.

Lin Yuan wanted to see if the Jasmine Lily would be able to significantly raise the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring's abilities after it was unlocked.

Lin Yuan said resolutely to Morbius, "I choose the Jasmine Lily!"

Morbius said with relief, "Partner, that is the best choice!"

After Morbius and Lin Yuan talked for a while longer, Lin Yuan placed the green gem into one of the indentations in the Morbius bracelet.

Morbius' rust-colored body lit up with a rust-colored light while the green gem lit up with an emerald light.

The rust-colored light wrapped around the green light, and Lin Yuan noticed that the green gem sunk into the Morbius bracelet.

Lin Yuan started the eight-hour wait until Morbius awoke.

He not only looked forward to unlocking the Jasmine Lily but also the evolution that Morbius would experience after it fused with the gem.

Every time Morbius evolved, Lin Yuan greatly benefited.

An example was the Element Well that appeared in the Spirit Lock spatial zone not long ago.

A shallow pool of water had accumulated at the bottom of the well. It was like a puddle left behind by a shower of rain.

There was still too little water in the Element Well, and Lin Yuan would need to wait a long time before he could start seriously tapping into the water.

Lin Yuan stored away the three sacred source lifeforms that he had gained because Na Na had saved Lu Ou.

The three uncontracted sacred source lifeforms were mystery boxes to Lin Yuan.

Since Lin Yuan knew how sacred source lifeforms were formed, he preferred to go to the marsh world to pick those he knew would be helpful for him because he could guess their abilities.

Thus, Lin Yuan planned to give these three sacred source lifeforms away as rewards to the members of Sky City who had provided significant contributions.

The child Disaster World Faceless Beast never stopped roaring within Lin Yuan's soul.

Lin Yuan still did not have a plan for the Suzerain/Myth I Disaster World Faceless Beast.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast had entered his soul, and Morbius had used the power of its roots to trap the Disaster World Faceless Beast inside Lin Yuan's soul, thereby severing the link between Lu Ou and the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

But if Lin Yuan released the Disaster World Faceless Beast, Lu Ou would immediately be able to sense it, regardless of how far apart the two were.

As such, Lin Yuan had no choice but to either keep the Disaster World Faceless Beast contained in his soul or kill it.

He could not tame it.

Lin Yuan badly wanted the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

Just like Genius and Chimey, the Disaster World Faceless Beast was the only fey of its kind because it had broken past the limits of its bloodline to create a new species of fey.

The child Disaster World Faceless Beast had come from the mother Disaster World Faceless Beast.

Lin Yuan had never seen the mother Disaster World Faceless Beast and thus had no idea what its abilities were.

However, the child's abilities, Steal the Fate of a Nation and Fate of Chaos, were both abilities that Lin Yuan had never seen in a fey.

They would allow the Disaster World Faceless Beast to steal the fortunes of the land and use it on itself to strengthen the effects of its abilities so its abilities would be able to affect a larger environment.

Steal the Fate of a Nation's only flaw lay in that it needed to use up the lifespan of the Disaster World Faceless Beast. If there was a way to increase the Disaster World Faceless Beast's lifespan and when it was used in conjunction with Payment in Life, the Disaster World Faceless Beast would turn into a terrifying killing machine.

Faceless Appearance would enable the Disaster World Faceless Beast to shapeshift during combat. In a group battle, the Disaster World Faceless Beast would be able to make up for where the team was lacking.

During the battle, the Disaster World Faceless Beast had only taken the form of Lu Ou. Before it had the chance to attack, it had targeted Lu Ou and became locked in a stalemate with him.

Eventually, the Disaster World Faceless Beast ended up trapped in Lin Yuan's soul and did not manage to unleash its effects at all.

If Lu Ou had not instructed the Disaster World Faceless Beast to target Lu Ou but instead used Deepened Curse Imprint, Disaster Warning, and Disaster Heart to take control of the situation, it would have put the Radiance Federation in a sticky situation.

The Suzerain/Myth I Disaster World Faceless Beast had a higher grade than all of Lin Yuan, Zong Ze, and Gao Feng's feys.

Hence, it would have had no issues taking control of them.

Most of Liu Yifan's feys and sacred source lifeforms' abilities lay in providing physical and elemental defense. It was weaker when it came to spiritual, soul, and mind defense.

Thus, countering the Disaster World Faceless Beast would be difficult when it used its controlling abilities.

Moreover, the Radiance Federation's strategy had been to kill Yan Ling first to break the link between the three sacred source lifeforms.

If Lu Ou had not instructed the Disaster World Faceless Beast to attack Lin Yuan but used it to create a replica of Yan Ling after she was killed, they could have maintained the link between the three sacred source lifeforms.

It would have been fine if Lin Yuan had not been able to get his hands on the Disaster World Faceless Beast. But now that he did but could not use it in any way, it was extremely frustrating.

As he listened to the Disaster World Faceless Beast continue to howl within his soul, Lin Yuan decided to tease it.

Just as he was about to start teasing the Disaster World Faceless Beast, his phone started to ring.

Lin Yuan picked it up, saw that the call was coming from the Moon Empress, and hurriedly answered.

The Moon Empress said in a somber voice, "Little Yuan, come to the Radiant Moon Palace tonight at 21:00."

She promptly hung up once she was done speaking.

Lin Yuan immediately knew that the Moon Empress needed to talk to him about something and that it was likely a very important matter.

Otherwise, they had originally agreed for him to only go to the Radiant Moon Palace tomorrow.

Off the top of his head, Lin Yuan could not figure out why the Moon Empress needed to see him.

There were still quite a few hours to go before 21:00, so Lin Yuan did not continue ruminating over the matter and went back to studying the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast was not a cat-species feys. Otherwise, when Genius was fighting against the Disaster World Faceless Beast, he could have used Master of Cats to control the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast was feral.

Even after examining it for two whole hours, Lin Yuan could not find out anything else about it.

If he really reached a point where he was out of ideas, he would have to kill the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

Then, he would hand the Disaster World Faceless Beast's corpse to the army of Hundred Questions Beasts so they would be able to study it. They might be able to find a way to nurture it.

Nonetheless, Lin Yuan knew that it was too difficult to find out all the ins and outs of the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

For example, when the Lifespan Mouse and Flower Branch Mouse were placed side by side, no one would be able to tell that the Lifespan Mouse had been nurtured from the Flower Branch Mouse.

Another example was Genius, which had transformed from the Hundred Questions Beast until it became the Highest Access Fate-Knowing Beast that it was today.

Genius' power had reached Diamond X/Fantasy V, while the army of Hundred Questions Beasts had also reached Diamond X.

However, none of them had transformed into the Highest Access Fate-Knowing Beast during their evolution. In fact, none of them had even transformed into the Beast that Connects Everything.

This made Lin Yuan guess if Genius was the only one that could walk down this special path.

This was why feys that had a unique species were so rare.

Since Morbius was sleeping, Lin Yuan planned on waiting until eight hours later when Morbius woke up, so he could discuss with it about what to do with the child Disaster World Faceless Beast.

Since there was still some time before the Moon Empress asked to see him, Lin Yuan started to organize the spoils of the battle he had won.

Once he was done organizing all of them by type, Lin Yuan intended to go to the Radiant Moon Palace to find out why the Moon Empress wanted to see him.

Normally, Lin Yuan should be giving the sacred source lifeforms to Di Wanmi, especially the 8 stars Diving Songstress.

During the battle against Han Qi, Lin Yuan had witnessed the might of a combat-type precious weapon.

Thus, Lin Yuan also wanted to create a precious weapon for himself.

Although the precious weapon made from the Diving Songstress would only be suitable for Lin Yuan to wield when he was in his mermaid form, Lin Yuan was still himself regardless of when he was in his normal state or mermaid state.

Lin Yuan felt that he needed to produce two precious weapons to suit both of his forms.

It was likely that from now on, most of Di Wanmi's time would be used to create precious weapons for Lin Yuan.

There were still ten minutes until 21:00.

Lin Yuan used the Ethereal Jellyfish's Tentacle Transportation to send himself to the inner palace of the Radiant Moon Palace.

At the same moment that Lin Yuan appeared in the inner palace of the Radiant Moon Palace, his eyes widened.

This was because he had spotted a person who had made a very deep impression on him sitting next to the Moon Empress at the jade table.

This person was the Goddess of Mercy.

The first association that Lin Yuan should have made with the Goddess of Mercy was that she was one of the Freedom Federation's royalty.

But at the moment that he transformed into his mermaid state, he clearly sensed the mermaid bloodline inside the Goddess of Mercy's body.

1803 Are You Trying to Snatch my Job?

The mermaid bloodline within the Goddess of Mercy's body was superior to the mermaid bloodline within Qian Yu after he fused with the Diving Songstress but far from the equivalent of Lin Yuan's mermaid bloodline.

Mermaid bloodlines had a clear and powerful hierarchy.

When Lin Yuan was in his merman state, he had despised Qian Yu and the Goddess of Mercy mermaid bloodlines.

Blue Lotus' blessing also caused the scorn Lin Yuan felt for the mermaid bloodline to intensify even when he was not in his merman state.

Because of this, Lin Yuan instinctively felt contempt toward the Goddess of Mercy, who could kill him with one finger.

Since the Moon Empress was also present next to the Goddess of Mercy, it meant the Goddess of Mercy was here as a guest.

Normally, Lin Yuan should greet the Goddess of Mercy after he greeted the Moon Empress.

However, the pride of his mermaid bloodline caused him to neglect to do the latter.

It was the same way that a flood dragon would treat an insect.

The moment Lin Yuan arrived, the small white rabbit in the Moon Empress' arms leaped into Lin Yuan's arms.

Lin Yuan knew that the white rabbit's name was Zixi.

Lin Yuan had tried to cuddle Zixi before. But in the past, Zixi always hopped away with disdain whenever he reached his hand over toward it.

So why did Zixi voluntarily jump into his arms this time?

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan immediately realized the answer.

Zixi still appeared unwilling as it squirmed around in his arms. It seemed to be especially anxious that he would steal its carrot and so tightened its grip over the carrot. At the same time, its ears were sticking straight up, indicating that it was on guard.

It was likely that the Moon Empress had instructed Zixi to protect Lin Yuan because the Goddess of Mercy was present. This meant that the Moon Empress did not trust the Goddess of Mercy.

Lin Yuan did not even have to think to know why.

The Moon Empress had likely asked him to come to the Radiant Moon Palace because of the Goddess of Mercy.

Lin Yuan just needed to stand next to her and wait for her to bring it up.

The moment Lin Yuan appeared, the Goddess of Mercy's mermaid bloodline became agitated from being so near to Lin Yuan's mermaid bloodline.

The Goddess of Mercy circulated her spiritual power to suppress her mermaid bloodline in order to maintain her calm expression and composed demeanor.

If her grip over her composure slipped in front of the Moon Empress and she lost control of the mermaid aura within her, the Moon Empress would immediately guess the reason she wanted to be around Lin Yuan.

This would go against the Goddess of Mercy's plan.

She was willing to work with the Radiance Federation to sell out the Freedom Federation because she wanted the chance to improve herself.

Once the Moon Empress found out what her motive was, the Moon Empress would also have figured out her weakness. The Goddess of Mercy would never allow such a thing to happen.

When Lin Yuan walked over to the Moon Empress, she released her aura to envelop him and said to the Goddess of Mercy, "My disciple is standing in front of you now. Hurry up and say whatever it is you want to say to him."

From the way Lin Yuan looked at the Moon Empress, the Goddess of Mercy could tell that Lin Yuan fully trusted the Moon Empress and had his guard completely down in front of her.

The Goddess of Mercy had never let her guard down in front of anyone before. She felt that the truest relationship was one where both parties had their guards completely down in front of each other.

Hence, the Goddess of Mercy could not help but be jealous of the Moon Empress. She hoped that Lin Yuan would also act that way around her.

She wondered if it was still even possible for her to obtain Lin Yuan's affection.

The mermaid bloodline within Lin Yuan's body had only recently transformed into the mermaid emperor bloodline. It still needed some time before it stabilized.

Thus, the Goddess of Mercy's goal this time was to let Lin Yuan get to know her and leave a deep impression on him.

This would give her an opening to curry favor with him in the future.

She looked at him and was just about to put on a friendly display when he saw his exquisite features and sensed the aura of his bloodline.

Her gold and red fishtail unconsciously quivered.

This caused the Goddess of Mercy for the first time, who had been killing off the mermaid clan to take advantage of their bloodline, internally curse her bloodline for being too weak.

Lin Yuan's bloodline had already reached the mermaid emperor bloodline.

His mermaid emperor bloodline would only continue to strengthen until it reached pinnacle emperor.

If the Goddess of Mercy could not obtain Lin Yuan's affection and improve her bloodline before that, she would probably not even have the courage to stand in front of him then. Even if she was able to sit in front of him, she would not be able to forcefully keep her composure as smoothly as she could now.

She immediately felt that Lin Yuan was her stepping stone but also an obstacle.

Although it would be a very long time before Lin Yuan's power would be able to catch up with that of the Goddess of Mercy, if he released his bloodline power in front of her to suppress her mermaid bloodline, she might even fall into a face-off against an Eternal fey.

Now that the Goddess of Mercy's mindset had reached this point, the way she looked at Lin Yuan immediately turned wary and judgmental.

But soon, an uncontrollable sense of regret bubbled from deep within her. It was as though it was a crime for her to be looking at Lin Yuan in such a way.

For the first time in her life, the Goddess of Mercy had the urge to flee.

She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down before she said, "I am a pinnacle Class 5 Creation Master. Qian Yu's sacred source lifeform is very suitable for you. I can stay in the Radiance Federation for a while more. During this time, why don't I turn the Diving Songstress' body into a precious weapon for you?"

The Goddess of Mercy did not like to be inconvenienced. Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

Even if the Freedom Federation's royalty offered her a high price in exchange for her creating a precious weapon for them, she only rarely agreed.

She was only offering to do so now because she wanted Lin Yuan to like her.

However, she did not notice that her voice had come out as extremely gentle when she spoke to him because of their bloodlines. She sounded so gentle that it could have been mistaken as a person talking to her crush.

A strange expression immediately spread across Lin Yuan's face. He could not understand why the Goddess of Mercy had said such a thing to him.

Why would she abruptly offer to make him a precious weapon?

While the Goddess of Mercy was waiting for Lin Yuan's reply, the Moon Empress scoffed and said, "I am a Class 6 Creation Master. It's only natural that I'll mold my disciple on my own."

1804 You Aren't Worthy of Creating a Precious Weapon for my Disciple! Finnd 𝒏ew chapters on n𝒐ve/lbi𝒏.com

When Zixi heard the Moon Empress' tone, it shrunk back its neck. It could sense that the Moon Empress' anger was about to explode.

So what if you're a pinnacle Class 5 Creation Master? Do you think you're better than me, a Class 6 Creation Master? Can you purify the Eternal Heart like I can? Don't make it sound like you're the only one who can forge precious weapons. You aren't worthy of creating a precious weapon for my disciple!

The Moon Empress was not only angry because the Goddess of Mercy had said such a thing to Lin Yuan but because she had also tried to recruit him to become her favored expert publicly.

The Moon Empress was only being so friendly toward the Goddess of Mercy because the Goddess of Mercy had volunteered to become allies with the Radiance Federation. But this did not mean that all the negative feelings that the Moon Empress felt toward the Goddess of Mercy had vanished.

!

From a small-scale perspective, the Goddess of Mercy was acting amicably with the Radiance Federation because she was attracted to one of the Radiance Federation's young experts.

From a large-scale perspective, she was trying to publicly rob the Moon Empress' disciple.

Your favored expert has only just died, and you already want to turn his sacred source lifeform into a precious weapon for his killer. How evil! How heartless and cruel!

The Moon Empress had always known that the Goddess of Mercy was merciless, but she did not expect it to be so extreme.

This also allowed the Moon Empress to understand why the Goddess of Mercy was willing to sacrifice the Freedom Federation's profits for the sake of her selfish desire.

The Moon Empress was boiling with rage over the Goddess of Mercy but had no idea that the Goddess of Mercy was even more outraged when she heard what the Moon Empress said.

So what if you're a Class 6 Creation Master? My power only needs to increase slightly, and I'll be a Class 6 Creation Master too!

Even if I can't increase my power, there's also a chance I'll be able to become a Class 6 Creation Master in a few years. The criteria of a Class 6 Creation Master's soul power is to be able to walk down heaven's path. I have awakened my birth horoscope, which means my soul power has reached the required level.

Do you think this plan of currying favor with Lin Yuan is easy? I only came up with it after racking my brains for a long time!

The Goddess of Mercy felt that the Moon Empress had ruined her opportunity to curry favor with Lin Yuan.

She also started to recall the respect, warmth, trust, and familial kinship that she saw in Lin Yuan's eyes when he looked at the Moon Empress. Jealousy bubbled up within the Goddess of Mercy again.

She was so jealous that she almost started to roar alongside her devil.

If she fused with her devil in the Radiant Moon Palace, it would be seen issuing a challenge to the Moon Empress.

Moreover, it would cause Lin Yuan to be put off by her.

If that happened, there would be no point in forming an alliance with the Radiance Federation.

The Goddess of Mercy knew that it would be difficult for feelings of affection to arise once feelings of resentment were formed.

As such, the Goddess of Mercy could not have a confrontation with the Moon Empress in front of Lin Yuan, no matter what.

Thus, although the Goddess of Mercy's eyes had gone red, she still had to keep her head low as though she was a daughter-in-law submitting to her mother-in-law.

The Goddess of Mercy's fists were already tightly clenched.

She usually did not have a goal. But now, a goal appeared in her mind.

This goal was to make Lin Yuan trust her more than he did the Moon Empress within five years.

If she achieved this goal, even if she started arguing or fighting with the Moon Empress in the future, Lin Yuan would be on her side.

She did not realize that her initial intention for Lin Yuan had changed.

Although Lin Yuan had the mermaid emperor bloodline within him, which made it difficult for the Goddess of Mercy to lay a hand on him, she would still be able to come up with a way to kill him.

At first, once the Goddess of Mercy obtained Lin Yuan's affection and used it to increase her power, there would be no point in her currying favor with him.

In fact, the mermaid emperor bloodline within him would be very nutritious for her as it would supplement her bloodline and provide her with more opportunities.

The Goddess of Mercy was willing to offer to turn Qian Yu's sacred source lifeform into a precious weapon for Lin Yuan, who had killed Qian Yu because her heart was as hard as stone.

The Goddess of Mercy did not like to be threatened by anything.

Although Lin Yuan could be of help to the Goddess of Mercy, he was also a threat to her.

However, the Goddess of Mercy had completely forgotten about the influence that her bloodline had over her intentions.

At that moment, Lin Yuan seemed like sweet honey to her. She not only coveted him but also wanted to protect him.

She had only shared the same space as him for a short time, but the influence over her bloodline had already weakened her will to kill him. Rather, she wanted to show off his feelings for her once she gained his affection.

The Goddess of Mercy continued to suppress her bloodline to maintain her composed facade. Alas, she had completely forgotten that Lin Yuan could clearly sense her bloodline because his bloodline was superior to hers.

The pressure between the bloodline ranks was stronger for mermaids than it was for fairies.

Mermaids with a superior bloodline could decide the life or death of mermaids with an inferior bloodline.

However, fairies with a superior bloodline would only be able to stun fairies with an inferior bloodline.

This was a world of difference.

The mermaid emperor bloodline was foreign territory to the Goddess of Mercy. She had no idea what abilities the mermaid emperor bloodline had.

At that moment, Lin Yuan could clearly sense the flow of the bloodline power within the Goddess of Mercy. He knew that she was using her power to suppress her mermaid bloodline and had gathered and sealed her mermaid bloodline in her heart.

The Goddess of Mercy did not have to do such a thing usually.

The Goddess of Mercy had not suppressed her bloodline when she had been alone with the Moon Empress. She only started doing so after Lin Yuan appeared.

When he combined this action with how the Goddess of Mercy had been trying to gain favor with him, many of Lin Yuan's confusions cleared up.

Although he had the mermaid emperor bloodline, he actually had very little information about the mermaid clan.

The Azure Federation would likely have the most information about the mermaid clan.

Luckily, Yin Lin was still in the Radiance Federation and would only be leaving a week later.

Lin Yuan intended to obtain information about the mermaid clan from her before she left.

It was impossible for her to carry the information around with her.

All of the information in the Azure Federation was available to Yin Lin, and she only had to search for what she wanted to obtain it. However, they could not be leaked to those from other federations.

Once Yin Lin returned to the Azure Federation and retrieved the related information about the mermaid clan, she could relay it to Lin Yuan during the next Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting.

Lin Yuan was now certain that the Goddess of Mercy was treating him so well because of their bloodlines. However, he did not know what the Goddess of Mercy wanted from him.

There had to be something that was motivating her to try so hard to win his favor.

1805 The Goddess of Mercy's Ulterior Motive!

Lin Yuan needed to know what the Goddess of Mercy's reason was for trying to win his favor so he would be able to know how he should approach her.

Although Lin Yuan came from two worlds, he had an extremely traditional mindset.

He was not opposed to the Goddess of Mercy trying to get on his good side because he knew what her use was.

She would be a great help to both Sky City and the Radiance Federation.

While Lin Yuan was thinking, the Goddess of Mercy waved her hand toward the table. Seven or eight aquamarine shells appeared on the table. The shells gleamed like pearls.

Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the shells and saw that they were not living feys but special containment equipment made from the fused fragments of the clamshells of the Spirited Sea Clam and powdered heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. The fertilizer from the pure water element and spirit qi from the Spirited Sea Clam made it very suitable for storing precious water-elemental spiritual ingredients.

The aquamarine shells were closed, so Lin Yuan did not know what they contained.

However, Lin Yuan could sense through his mermaid emperor bloodline that the items within the shells were related to mermaids because they had the aura of the mermaid bloodline.

After the Goddess of Mercy took out the shells, she said to the Moon Empress, "The Diving Songstress' bone marrow, scales, and heart will be the main ingredients. The best supporting ingredients will be water-type spiritual ingredients, ideally linked to the mermaid bloodline as well. These are all the water-type spiritual ingredients that are linked to the mermaid bloodline that I possess.

"Moon Empress, since you want to make the weapon for Lin Yuan, you can have all these spiritual ingredients I set aside for him! You can decide for yourself if you want to use them! I don't think you have many spiritual ingredients that contain the mermaid bloodline!"

The Goddess of Mercy stared at the Moon Empress while she spoke.

However, she was not trying to come up with a way to fight the Moon Empress but how she could deepen Lin Yuan's impression of her.

She was attempting to juxtapose her gentleness against the Moon Empress' aggressive dominance because it seemed that males liked gentler mates.

It would take more than a day to conquer Lin Yuan.

There's still a long way to go. Just wait and see, Moon Empress!

The Goddess of Mercy had spoken the truth.

The Moon Empress would be able to produce even the most precious water-type spiritual ingredients but would likely only have one or two water-type spiritual ingredients that contained the mermaid bloodline.

One of the reasons for this was that water-type spiritual ingredients containing the mermaid bloodline were rarely needed during the concoction of high-grade spirit fluids. As such, the Moon Empress had never needed to seek them out.

Additionally, Iron Prison's coronation costume included some scales from lifeforms with the mermaid bloodline.

He really liked the blue scales. 𝑅êạd new chapt𝒆rs on no/v/e/l𝒃

In order to attain more mermaid scales, Iron Prison had obtained a large batch of water-type spiritual ingredients from the other 12 members of royalty.

But no matter how much the Moon Empress loved Lin Yuan and wanted to make ample preparation for his sake, she could not let Iron Prison fail to create the coronation costume he wanted.

The Goddess of Mercy had also been secretly searching for the mermaids all these years.

She had killed almost all of the ones that existed in the main world, and her crusade angered Vast Sea Labyrinth.

Eventually, for some unknown reason, the Goddess of Mercy had paid a price and came to a settlement with Vast Sea Labyrinth.

As such, it could be said that the Goddess of Mercy possessed all of the water-type spiritual ingredients that contained the mermaid bloodline in the world.

Although the Moon Empress wanted to tell the Goddess of Mercy to get out with these things, she knew she could not produce these items herself. Thus, for Lin Yuan's sake, she could not turn away someone who did possess water-type spiritual ingredients that contained the mermaid bloodline.

The Moon Empress opened the shells to check on the quality of the spiritual ingredients within.

She saw that the Goddess of Mercy had carefully handpicked these spiritual ingredients, so they were very suited for complementing the Diving Songstress as it was turned into a precious weapon.

The quality of this batch of spiritual ingredients was also extremely high as many of them came from sacred source lifeforms.

Using these spiritual ingredients in the forging of the Diving Songstress into a precious weapon would ensure that its Stars would not drop.

It was very common for Stars to drop during the process of creating precious instruments.

There was a very high chance of a 3 Stars sacred source lifeform's body to only become a 1 Star precious instrument when a Class 5 Creation Master was creating it.

The precious instrument made from the Jewelled Cave Golden Toad's stomach given to Lin Yuan by Chef Supreme had dropped to 2 Stars.

Although the Moon Empress had become a Class 6 Creation Master, even if she was extremely careful, she would likely only be able to create a 7 Stars precious weapon out of the Diving Songstress' body if she did not have these spiritual materials.

The higher the Stars of the corpse of the sacred source lifeform, the more likely it was to drop Stars when it was being made into precious instruments.

This was common knowledge to Class 5 Creation Masters.

But now, with these items given by the Goddess of Mercy, the Moon Empress felt that there was a good chance that she would be able to create an 8 Stars precious weapon for Lin Yuan.

The Moon Empress could tell from the resources the Goddess of Mercy provided that the Goddess of Mercy had no intention of keeping anything from Lin Yuan.

As of this moment, the Moon Empress set her anger aside and started to carefully study the Goddess of Mercy.

She realized that the Goddess of Mercy no longer looked at Lin Yuan as though he was her favored expert or disciple. Rather, her gaze was very similar to how Yin Lin looked at Lin Yuan.

The Moon Empress had heard the rumor about how Lin Yuan and Yin Lin had shared a fey carriage. Although she did not ask Lin Yuan about his relationship with Yin Lin, she started to take note of Yin Lin.

When the Freedom Federation envoy group said they wanted to have a fight with the Radiance Federation's young experts, Yin Lin had not hesitated to side with Lin Yuan.

It was apparent that Yin Lin tried hard to rein in her feelings for Lin Yuan.

However, the Moon Empress felt that she was not the only one who had discerned these feelings.

If the Goddess of Mercy had taken note of Yin Lin, regardless of whether she knew that Yin Lin and Lin Yuan had shared a fey carriage, she would also have come to a similar realization.

However, the way the Goddess of Mercy looked at Lin Yuan had a more ulterior motive and was more veiled than Yin Lin's gaze.

Now that the Moon Empress noticed this, she started looking at the Goddess of Mercy strangely.

She found it hard to believe that the Goddess of Mercy would betray the Freedom Federation just to find a man! She had to have another reason!

But from her attitude toward Lin Yuan, it seemed unlikely that she would harm him. Rather, she might even step in to help him when he was in danger.

At that moment, the Goddess of Mercy spoke to Lin Yuan in a gentle voice.

1806 Beast Spirit's Soul

The Goddess of Mercy's words caused Lin Yuan's body to tense up immediately.

"You probably used some way to trap Lu Ou's Disaster World Faceless Beast! It is Na Na's signature fey and is very powerful!"

Lin Yuan always thought that he had very furtively trapped the Disaster World Faceless Beast in his soul.

It would be understandable if Lu Ou knew because he was the main target. However, Lin Yuan did not expect the Goddess of Mercy to have found out as well.

If the Goddess of Mercy asked him to hand over the Disaster World Faceless Beast now, there was no way he would be willing.

If the Goddess of Mercy asked for the Disaster World Faceless Beast back so she could return it to Lu Ou and ameliorate the relationship between her and Na Na, he would essentially be increasing Lu Ou's power.

Lu Ou had not even reached 30 years old yet. The fact that he already possessed such power at a young age made him a very likely candidate to become a Freedom Envoy.

It would not do the Radiance Federation any good to increase the power of such a person.

Even if the Goddess of Mercy wanted the Disaster World Faceless Beast back for herself instead of returning it to Lu Ou, Lin Yuan would be opposed to giving away something he won.

If he killed the Disaster World Faceless Beast and gave it to the army of Hundred Questions Beasts so they could analyze and experiment on it, he would undoubtedly gain significant benefits.

Even if Lin Yuan did not manage to use the benefits to find out how he could nurture the Disaster World Faceless Beast, some benefits would be better than nothing.

When the Goddess of Mercy saw Lin Yuan's eyes, she immediately realized that he had misunderstood her.

This was understandable because Lin Yuan did not know that the Goddess of Mercy had come to an agreement with the Moon Empress and that elderly man. Hence, he did not see her as being on the same side as him.

It was difficult for the Goddess of Mercy to explain something like this to him, but she could use her actions to demonstrate her stance and sincerity to him.

The Goddess of Mercy shot a look at the Moon Empress as she said, "Normally, feys that have been contracted by spirit qi professionals can't be stolen. Alas, there's an exception for everything. Some special source-type lifeforms can invade a target and take over their soul."

Lin Yuan was stunned when he heard what the Goddess of Mercy said.

He knew what she said was true because he had encountered such source-type lifeforms before.

Lin Yuan had used the source-type lifeform the Fairy's Heart to turn the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls and the Sea Burial Lotus Flower into fairies. After the Fairy's Heart fused with a fey, its soul would take over the fey's soul.

Lin Yuan only needed to contract the Fairy's Heart first and the fey that the Fairy's Heart took over would become contracted to Lin Yuan.

The 12 Firefly Demon Fetuses that Liu Jie possessed could not be compared to the Fairy's Heart because they could not replace souls. All they did was increase fey intelligence.

The Insect Queen was still needed to take control of the insect-species carcinoma feys.

The Goddess of Mercy's words inspired Lin Yuan.

However, Lin Yuan presently did not have any source-type items that could invade the souls of feys.

But the Goddess of Mercy had to have a reason for bringing this idea up. It was likely that she wanted to propose something to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan raised his eyes to meet the Goddess of Mercy as he waited for her to continue speaking.

When Zixi heard what the Goddess of Mercy said, it instinctively assumed that the Moon Empress would be angered.

The Goddess of Mercy seemed to be trying to teach Lin Yuan.

In the past, when the Mother of Bloodbath or Mystic Moon tried to teach Lin Yuan in front of the Moon Empress it would instantly earn her ire.

Zixi knew that the Moon Empress only permitted her disciple to be taught by herself.

However, reality did not play out as per Zixi's assumption.

The Moon Empress was still looking at the Goddess of Mercy calmly. It was as though she did not find anything wrong with what the Goddess of Mercy had said.

Frankly, the Goddess of Mercy had told the Moon Empress about this matter before the Moon Empress brought the Goddess of Mercy to see Lin Yuan. In fact, she had used this matter to convince the Moon Empress to let her speak with Lin Yuan.

The Moon Empress did not have source-type lifeforms that could invade and take over the souls of beast-type feys.

Hence, she could not help Lin Yuan take control of the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

Although she did not want anyone to take her place in teaching Lin Yuan, she was still willing to acquiesce in situations where she could not help him, but others could.

Despite the fact that this made the Moon Empress extremely uncomfortable, she had already broken her usual patterns numerous times for Lin Yuan's sake.

Lin Yuan was only growing stronger and was walking down a path that was beyond even the Moon Empress. Thus, he would only need more support in the future.

Although she could stand behind him and give him the confidence to soar as high as he wanted, she could not stand in the way of Lin Yuan climbing to greater heights because of her petty feelings. Doing so would be too selfish.

When the Goddess of Mercy saw the strange expression on Lin Yuan's face, she was instantly delighted.

She felt that it was likely that Lin Yuan would form a good impression of her if she helped him to subjugate the Disaster World Faceless Beast. Although it would not result in him forming affectionate feelings toward her, at least he would not be viewing her as an enemy.

With a wave of her hand, a black crystal appeared in the Goddess of Mercy's hand.

The crystal was obsidian, yet it was as transparent as a crystal. Lin Yuan could look through it to the other side.

While Lin Yuan was observing the black crystal, he felt as though something within the crystal was looking back at him.

"This black crystal is a special source-type item called the Beast Spirit's Soul. It can take over the Disaster World Faceless Beast's soul by feeding on it and placing itself in control. However, the Disaster World Faceless Beast has reached Suzerain/Myth I. The Beast Spirit's Soul needs to be of the same level as the Disaster World Faceless Beast in order to consume its soul and take over its body. Even if some special support methods were used to restrict the Disaster World Faceless Beast, you will still need to form a contract with the Beast Spirit's Soul and evolve it to Diamond grade first," said the Goddess of Mercy. Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

While the Goddess of Mercy was speaking, Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the Beast Spirit's Soul. Through this, he found out how the Beast Spirit's Soul could be contracted.

To anyone else, this method of contraction would be very challenging. But to Lin Yuan, it was extremely simple.

1807 The Goddess of Mercy was in the Palm of Her Hands!

This was because one of the conditions for contracting the Beast Spirit's Soul involved the purity of soul power.

Lin Yuan had consumed the Suzerain Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar and cleansed his soul of all impurities. He was fully capable of contracting the Beast Spirit's Soul.

The second condition involved Willpower Runes.

The Beast Spirit's Soul and Source Sand had a similar contraction method. Both required the use of Willpower Runes.

!

The difference was that the Source Sand needed two Willpower Runes while the Beast Spirit's Soul only needed one.

However, the Source Sand had not been picky when it came to Willpower Runes, but the Beast Spirit's Soul needed a soul-related Willpower Rune.

If this was happening yesterday, Lin Yuan might have been troubled over the requirement for a soul-related Willpower Rune. But now, he did not have any cause for worry.

A few hours ago, Lin Yuan had comprehended the Soul Gathering Willpower Rune while Rememberling was gathering the remnants of Jade Sundial's soul.

This Soul Gathering Willpower Rune would be perfect for contracting the Beast Spirit's Soul.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast was Suzerain/Myth I.

If Lin Yuan wanted to confidently use the Beast Spirit's Soul to consume the child Disaster World Faceless Beast's soul, he would need to evolve the Beast Spirit's Soul to Suzerain/Myth I as well.

However, the Goddess of Mercy had mentioned support methods that would enable the Beast Spirit's Soul to invade the child Disaster World Faceless Beast's soul when it was only Diamond grade.

This meant that Lin Yuan might be able to take care of the Disaster World Faceless Beast tonight.

After all, it would not be difficult for Lin Yuan to evolve the Beast Spirit's Soul to Diamond.

The army of Hundred Questions Beasts had already stocked up on many bottles of spirit fluids. Some of these could be used to increase the Beast Spirit Soul's grade.

Genius had produced the spirit fluids that could evolve soul-type feys because of Rememberling.

"In order to contract the Beast Spirit's Soul, a soul-related Willpower Rune is needed. Without the soul-related Willpower Rune, the Beast Spirit's Soul cannot be used. As for the support items, the pollen of the Soul-Bewildering Daisy will be suitable.

"I just so happen to have a bottle of the Soul-Bewildering Daisy's pollen. Only a third of it will be needed to suppress the soul of the Disaster World Faceless Beast to Diamond. This is the most that the pollen of the Soul-Bewildering Daisy can achieve."

While she was speaking, the Goddess of Mercy took out a ceramic bottle and placed it in front of Lin Yuan. Then, she nodded at the Moon Empress and left the Radiant Moon Palace.

While she was leaving, the Goddess of Mercy thought, I've done everything that I should. If I stay any longer, it will just irk the Moon Empress. If I leave after giving away so much, Lin Yuan will definitely think of me as a woman who gives without asking for anything in return!

The Goddess of Mercy felt that a person like that would come off as very attractive. She assumed that Lin Yuan only had positive emotions attached to her now.

However, the smug Goddess of Mercy had no idea that Lin Yuan was even warier of her now. Expplôre 𝒖ptod𝒂te stories at no/𝒗el/bin.c𝒐m

He was never the type to desire things without giving anything in return.

Besides the resources that he nurtured Morbius, the only person in this world who would give him resources without asking for anything in return was the Moon Empress.

Lin Yuan had already suspected that the Goddess of Mercy was specifically targeting him. Now, he was even more certain of it.

Both the Beast Spirit's Soul and the pollen of the Soul-Bewildering Daisy were invaluable.

The Goddess of Mercy had no reason to give them to him, the killer of her favored expert.

Once the Moon Empress sensed that the Goddess of Mercy had truly left the Radiant Moon Palace, she became certain that the Goddess of Mercy's intentions for Lin Yuan were on a large scale.

There was no question that the Goddess of Mercy was allying herself with the Radiance Federation because of Lin Yuan.

However, the Moon Empress did not believe that the Goddess of Mercy gave Lin Yuan such precious resources for the same reason that Yin Lin had.

Yin Lin and the Goddess of Mercy had both sacrificed for Lin Yuan.

The Moon Empress understood Yin Lin's actions as coming from the deep feelings of young love.

However, it would be ludicrous to apply this same reason to the Goddess of Mercy.

The Goddess of Mercy was selfish and standoffish. As such, she would never form unexplained emotions for anyone or anything.

The Moon Empress mulled for a moment before she said, "Little Yuan, the Goddess of Mercy has formed an alliance with the Radiance Federation. I suspect that this is all because of you. I'm not against you interacting with her. In fact, it would be extremely beneficial for you to do so. However, the Goddess of Mercy definitely has an ulterior motive when it comes to you. You have to be careful! She's the kind of person that will abandon anything that has lost its use to her. "

The Moon Empress was right, and it was only natural that Lin Yuan listened to her.

The Moon Empress probably did not know that the Goddess of Mercy's intentions for Lin Yuan were a result of the mermaid bloodline.

At first, Lin Yuan intended to ask Yin Lin to find information from the Azure Federation for him.

But now, he felt that he should tell the Moon Empress about his suspicions.

Given the Moon Empress' experience and knowledge, she might be able to guess the reason behind the Goddess of Mercy's actions.

For example, Lin Yuan had told Mystic Moon and Night Leaning Moon about the Whale Ocean Commerce matter.

There were some things that he could handle on his own. But when the events concerned the entire Radiance Federation, it was necessary for Lin Yuan to keep the Moon Empress abreast.

After all, it was possible that the Goddess of Mercy was only working with the Radiance Federation because of him.

"Master, I gained a bloodline when I was nurturing the Moving Source Water that you gave me. It also gave me the ability to shapeshift. I was able to change into a merman during the fight against Qian Yu and Lu Ou because of the Moving Source Water.

"I think that the Goddess of Mercy is acting in such a way toward me because of the bloodline within my body. I can sense that she has the same bloodline within her. However, my mermaid bloodline is superior to the Goddess of Mercy's mermaid bloodline. Because of the bloodline, I can't help but feel disdain when I see the Goddess of Mercy."

The Moon Empress had been wondering why the Goddess of Mercy was acting in such a way toward Lin Yuan.

After some contemplation, the Moon Empress came up with numerous guesses.

When the Moon Empress heard what Lin Yuan said, she immediately recalled the legend about the mermaid bloodline.

Many points of fogginess cleared up in the Moon Empress's mind.

1808 Difficult to Like!

The Moon Empress finally understood why the Goddess of Mercy had become hysterical a decade ago.

She coldly scoffed to herself.

Hehe! Goddess of Mercy, I have you in the palm of my hand now!

Currently, Lin Yuan could only make an educated guess that the Goddess of Mercy had acted in such a way because of the mermaid bloodline.

However, the Goddess of Mercy had also gone into a frenzy ten years ago because of the mermaid bloodline.

The Radiance Federation did not have much information about young experts such as Lu Ou, Han Qi, Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian, who rarely showed their faces.

Every federation tried to keep information about their young experts secret because they saw their young experts as their future.

However, Qian Yu was different because he was a Freedom Envoy.

The Radiance Federation had more information about the five Freedom Envoys.

After all, they would have to fight against the Freedom Envoys during the Major Federation Meeting. There was no harm in learning about their enemy.

The Radiance Federation was not the only one who had information about the Freedom Envoys. It was vice versa.

This was why Qian Yu could immediately tell what kind of feys and sacred source lifeform Liu Yifan had when he saw him.

According to the information they had about Qian Yu, the Goddess of Mercy was supposed to adore Qian Yu.

This was why the Goddess of Mercy had stepped in and saved Qian Yu in a fight among the Freedom Federation's families.

This did not fit with how the Goddess of Mercy had been so casual about Qian Yu's death.

There had to be a reason for a person to react so drastically different to the same matter.

By changing into a mermaid during the battle against Qian Yu, Lin Yuan had revealed his bloodline.

The Goddess of Mercy had changed her target to Lin Yuan because she realized that Lin Yuan's mermaid bloodline was superior to Qian Yu's mermaid bloodline.

This train of thought explained everything.

The Moon Empress asked Lin Yuan, "Little Yuan, what do you think of the Goddess of Mercy?"

Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.

He and the Goddess of Mercy were strangers. What kind of thoughts could he have about her? Moreover, the Goddess of Mercy was trying to win his favor for some reason.

Although the Goddess of Mercy had given Lin Yuan a large amount of water-type spiritual ingredients with the mermaid bloodline, the Beast Spirit's Soul, and the pollen of the Soul-Bewildering Daisy, which would enable Lin Yuan to take control of the Disaster World Faceless Beast, he still felt as though he was being targeted.

But since the question had come from the Moon Empress, Lin Yuan said after a moment of silence, "The Goddess of Mercy is purely self-serving and only cares about her own profits. Faith, willpower, feelings, and riches don't matter as much to her."

The Moon Empress' expression faltered slightly.

She thought that Lin Yuan would reply with an analysis of the Goddess of Mercy based on his experience with her.

However, Lin Yuan immediately and accurately saw through the Goddess of Mercy. He rationally understood her crux.

This immediately made the Moon Empress aware that she did not need to say too much to Lin Yuan. He understood some of these things on his own.

However, the Moon Empress still could not rest easy and asked Lin Yuan, "Little Yuan, do you think you'll like the Goddess of Mercy?"

Lin Yuan was dazed for a few seconds.

He had never pondered whether he would ever develop feelings for someone because he saw all relationships as slow processes that needed time to take their own course.

It was difficult to define it as 'liking'.

Love, friendship, kinship, and anything related to desire could be defined as 'liking'.

However, after learning about the way that the Goddess of Mercy approached certain matters, Lin Yuan only wanted to stay away from her.

If she maintained such an attitude in their future interactions, Lin Yuan could not see his impression of her changing.

Even if he did not loathe her, it was a fact that her attitude toward him was a result of her ulterior motives.

Thus, it would be very difficult for him to develop feelings for her.

Lin Yuan did not sound insistent but said honestly, "It will be very difficult."

When the Moon Empress heard what Lin Yuan said, her brows relaxed.

The mermaid bloodline used their bloodline to command their clan. The mermaids with superior bloodlines held higher ranks in the mermaid clan.

All mermaids desired to find a mate of a superior bloodline.

When a superior mermaid had affections for an inferior mermaid, it was possible for the inferior mermaid's bloodline to evolve.

It was highly likely that the Goddess of Mercy was after this goal.

If it was difficult for Lin Yuan to like the Goddess of Mercy, love was undoubtedly out of the question.

The Moon Empress felt that it would have been better for the Goddess of Mercy to have saved Qian Yu and nurtured him.

You don't deserve my disciple's love! Oh, Goddess of Mercy, you went through all that effort for nothing!

The Moon Empress had initially intended to give Lin Yuan's spoils to him tomorrow.

But since he was here tonight, she took out a special silver ring. Perched on it was a ball of wire made of many different metal-type spiritual ingredients. There were spatial runes inscribed all over the ball. The wires also seemed to be wrapped around a silver crystal.

The ball was embedded in a shell.

There were a few blue and gold gems embedded in the ring.

Lin Yuan immediately recognized the blue and gold gems to be the Space-Stabilizing Blue Diamond that only occasionally appeared in Class 5 subterranean dimensional rifts.

Normally, the Space-Stabilizing Blue Diamonds were only around one carat.

The four Space-Stabilizing Blue Diamonds embedded in the ring were all 2.5 carats.

One would have to comb through two subterranean dimensional rifts in order to find a two-carat Space-Stabilizing Blue Diamond. ALL new 𝒄hapters 𝒐n n𝒐v(𝒆)

Thus, the 2.5-carat Space-Stabilizing Blue Diamonds were proof to Lin Yuan that this ring was impressive.

The Moon Empress handed the ring to Lin Yuan and said, "The highest grade of fey storage box should be Diamond. Diamond fey storage boxes can fulfill most basic needs. However, as a spirit qi professional's power grows, the number of riches they accumulate will also increase. Many experts that are emperor-class and above usually have empty storage equipment with them. This will make things very complicated.

"The Spacetime Elder used the shells shed by the Spatial Mother Shellfish to create this ring. The pearl within the shell was formed from scraps of old pearls that had fallen off. The Spacetime Elder is a Class 5 Spirit Craftsman with a decent beauty standard. I placed everything you won inside this ring. Take a look and tell me what you think about the ring!"

When Mystic Moon heard what the Moon Empress said, he was rendered speechless.

1809 Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil

He wondered if the Moon Empress had been threatened by the way that the Goddess of Mercy had acted toward Lin Yuan.

Although the Moon Empress had asked the Spacetime Elder for a huge favor in order to convince him to custom-make the ring for Lin Yuan, the Moon Empress normally did not have so much to say.

The Moon Empress' had just spoken more than she usually did in a day.

Lin Yuan received the ring from the Moon Empress. He was still reeling over how precious the ring was.

The Moon Empress had told Lin Yuan about the Radiance Federation's 13 members of royalty.

The Bamboo Monarch was the only one whose sacred source lifeform was only pinnacle 9 Stars and had not reached 10 Stars. All the other members of royalty's sacred source lifeforms had reached 10 Stars.

It was too luxurious to use the shell that was shed by a 10 Stars sacred source lifeform and the scraps of old pearls as spiritual ingredients.

First, Lin Yuan manipulated his spiritual energy to envelop and enter the ring.

He noticed that the inside of the ring was not just spacious, but there was also a dark door on all four sides of the space.

When he opened one of the dark doors, Lin Yuan was stunned by how vast the space was. He could not even see the end of it. He estimated that the space was about as large as 20 football fields.

Around the same amount of space could be found behind all four dark doors.

The four dark doors separated the space into four sections.

Lin Yuan could store a large amount of dimensional lifeform flesh and corpses behind one of the dark doors and not worry about it affecting the items in the other sections.

Lin Yuan thought, With this ring, I won't need any other spatial equipment. When I leave the house, all I'll need to take with me is this ring.

Besides the expansive space, Lin Yuan also saw that the Moon Empress had placed all the resources he had won from Li Yang and the Goddess of Mercy inside this ring.

There were also two large purple and gold iron cages in a corner. These were the same cages that Shadow had been held in.

However, instead of Shadow, these two cages contained an intermediate devil and a major sea demon.

The intermediate devil had taken human form and did not appear as ferocious as the other devils. This intermediate devil's appearance was extremely beautiful.

It was wearing a multi-colored skirt, and its translucent body had a mystical hue.

Its long hair billowed down to its waist, and its eyes were full of emotion. By any human standard, it was a beauty.

Although the major sea demon was also a human with the bottom half of a fish, it seemed completely different from a merman because its tail resembled a snake tail more than a mermaid tail.

Its skin was light blue, and its arms were crossed.

Its sharp blue fingernails occasionally clattered against the purple and gold cage, producing the ear-piercing ring of metal against gold.

A purple water current that seemed to be filling the air with frigidity swirled around the sea demon. This was likely the sea demon's life water.

Besides the intermediate devil and the major sea demon, there was also a small yellow snake that had four wings that was flying around the giant space.

The snake glowed gold, and there was a head both at its anterior and posterior end. This made the four-winged snake appear extremely bizarre.

While it was flying, water dried up, the ground cracked, and soil started to jut out of the earth in the area around it.

Lin Yuan immediately knew that this was the fey with the Barren bloodline that the Radiance Federation had staked.

The events happening around it were its signature. Gett your 𝒇avorite 𝒏ovels at no/v/e/lb𝒊

Plainly, the fey with the Barren bloodline had received different treatment from the intermediate devil and major sea demon.

Lin Yuan did not expect the Moon Empress to give him everything.

When Lin Yuan exited the ring, the Moon Empress said to him, "Don't think that there's too much inside of it. You deserve everything that's inside. All of the members of royalty agree with this. If not for you, all of these items would have fallen into the hands of the Freedom Federation.

"Li Yang was the one who offered the intermediate devil as a stake for the battle. It was the Dominant Body Dagger Devil that solely relies on physical combat. The spirit qi professional that fuses with it will gain superhuman strength but also become disfigured.

"I knew that the intermediate devil used by the Freedom Federation as a stake in a gamble could only be scum. Although the Dominant Body Sagger Devil would enable you to perform close-quarter combat, you will only be able to contract one devil. This is the same principle that goes for feys with the Barren bloodline.

"As a spirit qi professional's grade increases, their body will strengthen as well. Hence, it will be better to contract a functional-type devil. The intermediate devil in the ring is called the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil. I swapped it from the Goddess of Mercy in exchange for the Dominant Body Dagger Devil.

"The Goddess of Mercy said that the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil is the intermediate devil that is the hardest to nurture. It will require even more resources than higher devils. However, its growth is outstanding."

When Lin Yuan was looking through the ring, he had not used Morbius to check on the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil. Hence, he did not know how it should be nurtured.

The Moon Empress went on to say, "The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil will require pure elemental energy to produce the Calamity Flower. The purer the elemental energy, the stronger the Calamity Flower will be and the higher chance the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil will have of evolving into a higher devil."

Lin Yuan was elated when he heard what she said.

There was spirit qi and elemental energy present in the air everywhere in the main world.

Yet, the most precious things in the world were also pure spirit qi and elemental energy.

High-class Creation Masters were distinguished by the purity of the spirit qi and elemental energy they could concoct.

The heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were the most simple medium for producing elemental energy that Creation Masters had found. It was much more difficult to use spiritual ingredients to produce elemental energy.

Even the fire-elemental energy at the center of volcanoes was not as pure as that of regular fire-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls because it was also contaminated by earth-elemental energy.

Moreover, only spirit qi professionals that had reached emperor-class and above would be able to reach the center of volcanoes to absorb the fire-elemental energy there.

Presently, the Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls were still regarded as legends.

However, Lin Yuan did not only rely on Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls.

1810 Ice-Sealing Frozen Carp!

If Lin Yuan wanted to concoct pure elemental energy, he could use the Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls in conjunction with the water from the Element Well.

He wondered if such pure elemental energy would enable the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil to speed up its eventual evolution into a higher devil.

The Moon Empress was unaware of Morbius and the Element Well's existence. Yet, she still coincidentally chose an intermediate devil that would be the easiest for him to nurture.

After the battle against the Freedom Federation, Lin Yuan could clearly sense the canyon of difference in the powers between intermediate devils and higher devils.

During the battle, Han Qi used his own feys while Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian had relied on their sacred source lifeforms.

Besides Cai Huo, who had not contracted a devil, the rest of the team had all contracted devils.

Qian Yu, You Changjian, and You Changjian had not relied on fusing with the devils to fight because their intermediate devils were not strong enough to be relied on.

However, this was the opposite case for Lu Ou.

Lu Ou had not even had the chance to use his sacred source lifeform because Gao Feng had sealed it off.

Most of their feys had been Diamond X/Fantasy V, and none of them had performed remarkably during the battle.

The strongest of them was the Disaster World Faceless Beast which ended up trapped within Lin Yuan's soul after a stalemate.

Lu Ou's strength fully came from the higher devil he had contracted.

Lu Ou had not waited long to fuse with his higher devil because he was aware of this fact.

He had used an unknown method to wipe out the army of insects produced by the Parasite Decay Locusts.

The battle gave Lin Yuan practical experience on how much an intermediate devil could improve if it evolved into a higher devil.

If any other devil landed in Lin Yuan's hands, he might not be able to guarantee that he could evolve it into a higher devil.

After all, there were very few cases of intermediate devils transforming into higher devils in the Freedom Federation.

But since the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil fully relied on pure elemental energy, Lin Yuan could be confident of being able to evolve it into a higher devil. When it came to elemental energy, Lin Yuan never had to worry.

According to Lin Yuan's observations, even though the Moon Empress had evolved her power to become a Class 6 Creation Master, she still could not concoct elemental energy as pure as he could.

The Goddess of Mercy had more intermediate devils than the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

She had a hobby of accumulating resources. All three of the intermediate devils she possessed were not bad to look at.

The Moon Empress had picked the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil because she knew that Lin Yuan could concoct pure elemental energy.

She had heard from Chef Supreme that Lin Yuan had given Zong Ze a Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearl. Chef Supreme assumed that the Moon Empress had given it to Lin Yuan.

Even before her breakthrough, the Moon Empress could not nurture the Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearl from the Scorching Elemental Shellfish.

Thus, there was no way the Moon Empress could have given heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to Lin Yuan.

But just because she could not provide Lin Yuan with heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, it did not mean that she would not be able to help him in other areas.

The Moon Empress took out a jade box she had prepared in advance and gave it to Lin Yuan.

After Lin Yuan received the jade box, the Moon Empress said, "Little Yuan, there are many more types of pure elemental energy that can be produced besides water-, fire-, wind-, and earth-type. These are just the most common types and can be nurtured from the Elemental Shellfishes. Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐

"However, the other types of pure elemental energy can also be produced through feys. The Dark Crystal Armored Insects from the Cage of Brahma Insects can produce dark-type energy. There are ten of the Dark Crystal Armored Insects, ten Moonlight Sleeping Lotus, five of the Plasma Snails, five of the Wood-Building Winged Sandflies, and one of the Ice-Sealing Frozen Carp inside this box.

"All of them are in their young stage and can be nurtured using pure spirit qi. They don't need to be specially guided when they reached Elite grade like the Elemental Shellfish do."

Lin Yuan immediately knew how precious this box was.

The Cage of Brahma Insects specially nurtured the Dark Crystal Armored Insects. They were regarded as treasures and not permitted to be traded away.

Only the shells of Dark Crystal Armored Insects were occasionally sold, and at exorbitant prices.

The Cage of Brahma Insects only been willing to give him three of the Dark Crystal Armored Insects because they were aware that Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress' disciple, afraid of him pursuing the insult that Fan Jianyi had inflicted on him, and hoped to obtain the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls after working with him.

Yet, the Moon Empress was able to give him ten.

The Moon Empress must have asked the Cage of Brahma Insects for the Dark Crystal Armored Insects for his sake.

Lin Yuan had heard of the Plasma Snail and always tried to keep a lookout for them. However, he had never found any.

After the Plasma Snails absorbed pure spirit qi, they could produce dark purple sticky fluids. These dark purple sticky fluids contained pure lightning-type energy.

The purity of the lightning-type energy was linked to the purity of the spirit qi that the Plasma Snail absorbed. The higher the purity of the spirit qi, the purer the lightning-type energy that the Plasma Snail produced.

The Wood-Building Winged Sandfly was a very special winged insect-species fey. It liked to build its nest within jade-textured wood. It would then consume the jade-textured wood to absorb spirit qi and form a cocoon around itself. Eventually, it would turn into a chrysalis and die.

It contained very pure wood-type energy.

This would make it seem as though the five Wood-Building Winged Sandflies were just fuel to be burned up.

However, this was not the case.

Before the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly turned into a chrysalis, it would build a small nest inside the jade-textured wood it resided in and deposit its eggs in the nest.

The eggs would only be able to hatch if they were exposed to pure spirit qi.

The Wood-Building Winged Sandfly could produce two to five eggs at once.

To most Creation Masters, they would consider themselves lucky if they could hatch even one or two of the eggs.

But inside the Spirit Lock spatial zone, all the insect eggs would hatch without any issues.

Lin Yuan learned about the Plasma Snail and Wood-Building Winged Sandfly from the knowledge that Genius had gleaned from Star Web. Both of them were considered legendary strategic-class feys.

In the past, a Class 4 Creation Master posted a message on Star Web saying that he was willing to offer one year of labor in exchange for one Wood-Building Sandfly.

However, no one came through to trade with him, and he only managed to obtain an egg.

Nonetheless, the Class 4 Creation Master had still been willing to offer three months of labor.

Luckily, the Wood-Building Winged Sandfly egg hatched, and the Class 4 Creation Master gifted it to a pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master in exchange for two secret spirit fluid recipes.

As for the Ice-Sealing Frozen Carp, it was not a regular fey but a Heaven and Earth Fey.

1811 Lin Yuan's New Shapeshifting

Even places that experienced temperatures of 50 degrees and above would immediately become covered in ice if the Ice Sealing Frozen Carp was in the vicinity.

The Ice Sealing Frozen Carp would then break through the ice and swim around in it.

Ice element was a mutation of the water element and could not be specifically concocted. This also applied to the sand element, which could not sever its link from the earth element. ALL new 𝒄hapters 𝒐n n𝒐v(𝒆)

However, if heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were ground up and added to water, and the Ice Sealing Frozen Carp was tossed into this mixture, the Ice Sealing Frozen Carp only needed to absorb a part of the water element before it was fished out of the mixture and the water-elemental energy would turn into ice-elemental energy.

Although there could be more than one type of a Heaven and Earth Fey, it was unlikely that there would be two at once.

Lin Yuan had divided the Sunlight King Lotus into almost 100 ramets, but it had only come about after the Sunlight King Lotus had submerged in the spirit pool and continuously absorbed pure elemental energy.

It was cultivated from the mother and not a product of nature.

It could be said that the Moon Empress had given Lin Yuan the ability to produce ice elements.

The box and the items within it only weighed around 500 grams. Yet, they felt incredibly heavy in Lin Yuan's arms.

The Moon Empress had become accustomed to Lin Yuan turning her down.

When she saw that Lin Yuan still had not stored the jade box away, she hurriedly said, "I prepared all of this for you so you can raise your power as soon as possible. Although the current batch of Radiance Envoys will be the leads at the Major Federation Meeting two years later, your batch of Radiance Envoys will have to participate as well.

"Little Yuan, you grow at an exponential rate. Two years later, you will be just as strong as any of the current Radiance Envoys. You might even be stronger than them. I believe you have also sensed that the Freedom Federation also has numerous young geniuses of their own. It's hard to say who will win two years later. In previous years' fights, the Radiance Federation did not manage to gain any advantages. So, you must do your best to increase your power."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Lin Yuan no longer turned down the resources that the Moon Empress gave him.

The first reason was that the Moon Empress was right in saying that he would need these resources to increase his power. On his own, he might not be able to obtain so many feys that could produce elemental energy even after a year.

The fact that the Moon Empress could obtain these resources was proof of her status and a result of years of accumulation.

Moreover, Lin Yuan was now able to help the Moon Empress as well.

He could sense that they were very similar.

If he accepted gifts from her, she would not reject his help in the future too.

Lin Yuan stored the jade box within the ring that the Moon Empress had given him before he asked, "Master, I've heard of everything within the jade box except for the Moonlight Sleeping Lotus…"

The Moon Empress smiled kindly.

She reached out and peeled a grape for Lin Yuan as she replied, "That is a fey I mutated from the Sacred Light Sleeping Lotus by using the Sacred Cry Moon Beast's tears as a guide. It can produce light-elemental energy."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Now, he would be able to use water, fire, earth, wind, wood, ice, dark, light, and lightning elements while nurturing the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

The blood energy produced by the Mother of Bloodbath's disciple, also known as the Blood Brew Grapevine, was likely another type of element.

Lin Yuan now had the means to produce ten types of elemental energy.

Ten Calamity Flowers would appear in the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's hands if the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil could absorb every type. After being nurtured by Lin Yuan, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil would be holding a bouquet of flowers.

However, a problem suddenly struck Lin Yuan.

What would he look like if he fused with the female Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil?

When Han Qi, Yan Ling, Qian Yu, and You Changjian had fused with their intermediate devils, their appearance changed according to their intermediate devil's characteristics and abilities.

Oh my God! Forget the fact that I turn into a merman when I fuse with Dark Blue. If I fuse with a female devil, somehow, it feels like my contraction direction is becoming more and more skewed.

The Moon Empress guessed what Lin Yuan was thinking from his strange expression.

She coughed and said in a serious voice, "The devils produced in the Demon Church have always been the Freedom Federation's greatest secrets. No outsiders are permitted to know about them.

"But before you came, I communicated with the Goddess of Mercy and found out that there are two methods to contract a devil. The first is for the devil to be the master while the human is the servant. If you fuse with a devil after using this method, your body will take on the devil's features. This was what happened to Han Qi, Yan Ling, You Changjian, and Qian Yu.

"The benefit of this method is that it will greatly strengthen the human's body. But, it will also cloud the mind during a battle. Devils like to remain hidden. If the devils are the master, they will not be willing to expose themselves to directly take on the opponent. This is why Han Qi's devil only left his body after he died until you eventually killed it."

The Moon Empress paused for a moment before she continued. "The other method is for the human to be the master while the devil is the servant. However, this method of contraction will only work if the spirit qi professional's soul power is sufficiently strong.

"There's no way to accurately test a person's soul power. Only an estimate can be made. The Goddess of Mercy said that only a person whose soul has reached 200 points will be able to contract a devil as its master.

"Normally, the souls of those who are able to contract sacred source lifeforms will only have reached 80 points. This means that only those who have contracted about two and a half sacred source lifeforms will be able to try contracting a devil as its master.

"Lu Ou had contracted his devil as its master. This is why only devil tattoos appeared on his face and four horns sprouted from his head after he fused with his devil. He would only have been affected by his devil, and a portion of his body transformed if he had triggered his devil's power at depth. However, the other parts of his body would not change.

"When Lu Ou triggered his devil's power at depth, he only gained a tail. It was easy to accept. The biggest benefit of contracting a devil with the human as the master is that the devil can be summoned out to be used in a fight like any other fey. Although fusing with a devil will increase the spirit qi professional's power, it will dampen the devil's own combat power."

Lin Yuan's heart throbbed when he heard what the Moon Empress said, and he furrowed his brow.

1812 Wailing Snake

However, even up to the end of the battle, Lu Ou did not summon the higher devil he had contracted.

It seemed that Lu Ou had still intentionally hidden his power during the battle.

The Moon Empress seemed to read Lin Yuan's thoughts as she smiled at him and explained, "Little Yuan, Lu Ou did not hide his power. He chose to rely on Qian Yu during the battle. Given that Qian Yu had an 8 Stars sacred source lifeform, it was right for Lu Ou to depend on him. Lu Ou had transferred all of his higher devil's roots' energy to Qian Yu. Even if he had summoned the higher devil, it would not have had much combat power left.

"Moreover, if my guess is right, Lu Ou's higher devil is the Glutton. It is one of the seven major devils. The power of such a higher devil is one of the Freedom Federation's greatest secrets. Once it's summoned, the Bamboo Monarch, Chef Supreme, and I will immediately recognize it. Hence, Lu Ou must have been ordered in advance not to summon his higher devil. But two years later, his higher devil will have grown and become worthy of being your rival."

The Moon Empress had witnessed Lin Yuan's power during Capture the General and realized how rapidly he was growing.

But at the same time, she also knew how strong the seven major devils from Demon Church were.

Lin Yuan nodded at the Moon Empress.

Although he had reached the peak amongst his peers, he never lost his sense of respect because he knew that his opponents and enemies were not his peers at all.

The Moon Empress said that those who could contract sacred source lifeforms would have souls that were 80 points strong. Only those with souls that had reached 200 points would be able to contract devils as their masters.

After speaking to Morbius, Lin Yuan found out that both of his souls could contract two sacred source lifeforms each. Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐

Even if one of his souls had not reached 200 points, both his souls together would equal to more than 300 points.

Hence, Lin Yuan felt confident that he would be able to contract the devil as its master.

When the Moon Empress saw Lin Yuan's brow furrowed as though he was deep in thought, she thought that her words had given him pressure.

This was not what she had intended.

She knew that he had to have gone through a tough time in order to attain the power he had today.

Although the Moon Empress dared to gamble on her own life in order to increase her power, she did not want Lin Yuan to have a difficult time.

The Freedom Federation's Demon Church might have its seven major devils but the feys with the Barren bloodline from the Barren Mystic Realm did not pale in comparison at all.

Although none of the feys with the Barren bloodline were born with the Desolate bloodline like some devils could be born as higher devils, they had outstanding growth potential.

There was no way that the Freedom Federation and Radiance Federation would offer outstanding devils and feys with the Barren bloodline in a gamble with each other.

The Freedom Federation had initially offered the Dominant Body Dagger Devil while the Radiance Federation had offered the Carnage Frog.

The Carnage Frog had the ability to drain the energy of a target of similar power as it that it was currently attacking. It would be able to use the energy it drained to increase its own power.

The Carnage Frog's ability would be extremely useful when it was weak as it would be able to roll grades to fight at a higher level.

However, once it reached Myth Breed, it would have to attack Myth Breed feys in order to use its ability.

A sea of resources was needed to nurture a Myth Breed fey. Normally, it was almost impossible for someone to be able to afford to nurture the Carnage Frog.

Its conversion rate was very low, at only about 2% to 5%. This meant that the Carnage Frog would have to kill 20 other Myth Breed lifeforms in order to double its power.

Moreover, there was also a time limit for the boost in power because it was not using its own energy.

The energy would eventually dissipate into the surroundings.

Once the Carnage Frog's power reached Immortal or Eternal, it would be impossible for it to find lifeforms of the same power to kill.

The Radiance Federation had deliberated for some time before they decided to sacrifice the Carnage Frog.

There was no gamble that had a 100% winning.

Thus, they needed to be prepared.

But eventually, Lin Yuan led the Radiance Federation's team to defeat the Freedom Federation's team.

But they could not give the Carnage Frog to Lin Yuan.

Although no feys with the Barren bloodline were born with the Desolate bloodline, some of them caused the environment around them to wither when they were born. If these feys were properly nurtured, they could evolve into the Desolate bloodline very quickly.

The Wailing Snake that appeared inside Lin Yuan's ring was an example of such a fey.

After being nurtured by the Moon Empress, the Wailing Snake was already showing signs of evolving to the Desolate bloodline. However, it still needed some time before it could cross that level.

"Little Yuan, the fey with the Barren bloodline in your ring is called the Wailing Snake. It causes moisture to dry up wherever it goes. With the Wailing Snake, it will be easy for you to create land masses in the marsh world. There are also rankings between feys with the Barren bloodline. The Golden Wings and the Wailing Snake are on the same level. The Wailing Snake now belongs to you. You can give it to anyone you want."

The Moon Empress paused before she continued. "Because of the pure spirit qi you gave Mystic Moon, his power has experienced a breakthrough. He might not be a member of royalty, but Wen Yu's feys' abilities make her a guaranteed member of the next batch of Radiance Knights. Thus, Mystic Moon can go and obtain a fey with the Barren bloodline for Wen Yu. If you give the Wailing Snake to Wen Yu, the fey with the Barren bloodline that Mystic Moon retrieves will fall in your possession."

Before the Moon Empress spoke, Lin Yuan had been mulling over who he should give the Wailing Snake to.

Because of the Insect Queen, Liu Jie could not contract a fey with the Barren bloodline despite being a disciple of royalty.

Both Wen Yu and Chu Ci were the best candidates to receive the Wen Yu.

Chu Ci was still young, and it would put a large strain on her soul power and spiritual energy to contract a fey with the Barren bloodline. Thus, there was no rush for her to do so.

1813 Purple Frigid Heavy Water

However, Lin Yuan was unsure if he would be able to obtain another fey with the Barren bloodline in the future if he did not save the Wailing Snake for Chu Ci.

But at the same time, the Wailing Snake's abilities did not fit with Chu Ci at all.

Rather, it was more suitable for Wen Yu.

Wen Yu's feys leaned toward functional-type, and she never had to set up a combat system. of any kind.

The Wailing Snake would be able to dry up the marshes in the marsh world and turn them into dry ground.

It was a strategic resource to Lin Yuan because he would be headed to the marsh world to carefully comb through it once he was done with his business in the Startling Lines Continent.

If Mystic Moon could prepare a fey with the Barren bloodline for Wen Yu, there was no need for Lin Yuan to be in a dilemma.

He could just give the Wen Yu to Wen Yu.

Once Chu Ci came of age, Mystic Moon could pick a fey with the Barren bloodline for Chu Ci based on her combat style.

The Moon Empress had given Lin Yuan a lot of information about the feys with the Barren bloodline.

Although Liu Yifan had also told Lin Yuan some information, he had not been as detailed as the Moon Empress.

Now, Lin Yuan completely understood the ranks between feys with the Barren bloodline.

The Desolate bloodline was not the maximum extent to which the feys with the Barren bloodline could evolve.

But in order to break through the Desolate bloodline, the expert would have to take control of their birth horoscope and start walking down heaven's path.

As he listened to the Moon Empress' explanation, Lin Yuan suddenly felt as though he was back at the time when the Moon Empress had just accepted him as her disciple and they held daily question-and-answer sessions.

While explaining to Lin Yuan, the Moon Empress would also answer any question he had that popped up.

She soon realized that the questions he asked were increasingly complex. She had to ponder some questions deeply before being able to come up with an answer.

This told the Moon Empress that Lin Yuan never stopped on the path of learning. It was likely that his improvements were linked to his cat-species fey.

The Moon Empress had been shocked when she first saw the cat-species fey. She did not expect such a fey to exist in the world.

Even after examining Genius, the Moon Empress could not figure out that Genius had evolved from the Hundred Questions Beast. This was the same thing Lin Yuan experienced with the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

The Goddess of Mercy had also been present and tried to investigate Genius.

Luckily, the Goddess of Mercy was on Lin Yuan's side because of their bloodlines. Otherwise, the situation would have turned very bad for the Radiance Federation.

Genius' existence could have caused Lin Yuan to be assassinated and targeted.

From Genius, the Moon Empress could tell that Lin Yuan had expanded his Creation Master capabilities.

The Moon Empress remembered the major sea demon that Yin Lin had given Lin Yuan and asked him, "Little Yuan, are you on good terms with the Azure Federation's fourth Azure Envoy Yin Lin?"

Lin Yuan nodded and started to explain, "Master, my relationship with Yin Lin started because of Wen Yu's sacred source lifeform."

Since Mystic Moon was Wen Yu's master, he knew about her sacred source lifeform's abilities.

Mystic Moon had told the Moon Empress everything.

The Moon Empress had even given Wen Yu a package of spiritual ingredients that could raise spiritual energy.

As such, the Moon Empress was also aware of Wen Yu's sacred source lifeform's abilities.

Once she heard what Lin Yuan said, the Moon Empress immediately connected the dots.

Before Yin Lin awakened her two beast patterns, she had been blind, and her name was barely mentioned in the Azure Federation.

But now, the situation had changed completely.

The Moon Empress expected that it was all because of Lin Yuan.

It was no wonder that Yin Lin treated Lin Yuan this way and was even willing to give him the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water.

The Moon Empress had not told Lin Yuan about the Lantis Mystic Realm yet.

Now that Lin Yuan possessed a major sea demon, it would be extremely helpful to him when he transformed into a merman in battle.

In order to form a contract with the major sea demon, one's soul had to have more points than when contracting a sacred source lifeform.

There was no question that Lin Yuan would be able to form a contract with it.

However, there was a condition when contracting the major sea demon that was not present when contracting devils.

This condition was that the contractor's body had to be cleansed by strange water.

It was extremely dangerous to use strange water to cleanse one's body.

Many young experts from the Azure Federation had used strange water to cleanse their bodies to contract major sea demons.

If even the slightest of problems arose, if the body had the smallest of cuts that allowed the water element from the strange water to penetrate the bone marrow, a light consequence would be the person being sentenced to a life of pain worse than those who had rheumatism. A serious consequence would mean death. Gett your 𝒇avorite 𝒏ovels at no/v/e/lb𝒊

If Lin Yuan could not fuse with the Moving Source Water to turn into a merman and had received Blue Lotus' blessing, the Moon Empress would not allow him to take the risk involved with contracting a major sea demon.

However, Lin Yuan had two safety nets.

As such, it would be easy for him to use strange water to cleanse his body.

"Little Yuan, the major sea demon that Yin Lin gave you has awakened the Purple Frigid Heavy Water. The Purple Frigid Heavy Water is considered an above average life water.

"The Lantis Mystic Realm is even more special than the Demon Church and Barren Mystic Realm. The Lantis Mystic Realm only produces one type of lifeform, the sea demons. After being nurtured, some sea demons can grow into major sea demons. Suppose they continue to be nurtured after becoming major sea demons. In that case, they can be guided using a large amount of water-elemental energy, and some will awaken the life water and gain extremely strong elemental combat abilities. Others will start to age rapidly and wither.

"There are less than 30 major sea demons in the Azure Federation that have awakened their life water. This means that the Purple Frigid Heavy Water is ranked in the top 10 to 15 major sea demons. Its ranking is now low because it's weak. One drop of the Purple Frigid Heavy Water weighs 500 kilograms. It can curse enemy targets that have come into contact with water. Frigidity will be gathered at the target, causing it to freeze and die. It can also gather frigidity in front of friendly targets to increase their defense. When the opponent touches the friendly target's body, the curse will be transferred to the opponent, and they will sustain a serious freezing injury.

"Although experts cannot fuse with the major sea demons like devils, the major sea demons can be applied to spirits or weapons. However, it is not recommended to apply them to normal weapons or weapons that actually are shapeshifted feys as the life water might corrode them and cause them to crack. The best targets to apply the major sea demons to are precious instruments.

"Once I turn the Diving Songstress' body into a precious instrument, its power will be significantly boosted if the major sea demon that has awakened the Purple Frigid Heavy Water is applied to it."

1814 Upper Limits of Sea Demons!

Even after saying so much, the Moon Empress still had not gotten to the main point of why the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water was only ranked 15th to 10th amongst the major sea demons despite being so strong.

This was because she first wanted Lin Yuan to acknowledge the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water. This would make him willing to go through the effort of nurturing this major sea demon that was ranked so low because it was hard to nurture.

There was no question that Yin Lin was on Lin Yuan's side.

At first, the Moon Empress thought that Yin Lin had fallen in love with Lin Yuan at first sight. But after hearing what Lin Yuan said, the Moon Empress realized that Yin Lin was siding with Lin Yuan because of the Astronomical Parliament.

!

The Astronomical Parliament could save a person who truly needed help. The rescued person would then need to dedicate their loyalty.

This explained why Yin Lin did everything she could to give Lin Yuan the best things. DiisCoover 𝒖pdated novels on n(o)v. 𝒎

Although the Radiance Federation and Azure Federation were allies, they were not on such good terms that they would give resources away for no reason.

Feys with the Barren bloodline and sea demons were extremely precious resources to the Radiance Federation and Azure Federation.

Although they used a major sea demon as a gambling stake, Lan Xun had only allowed Yin Lin to offer the lowest-ranked major sea demon.

Eventually, that major sea demon was swapped for the one that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water because the Moon Empress had communicated with Yin Lin and Lan Xun and also offered the Azure Federation some benefits.

Since Lan Xun knew that the Moon Empress could purify the Eternal Heart, he happily accepted a favor from her.

Moreover, Yin Lin had been leaning toward Lin Yuan from the beginning. As such, Lan Xun had no choice but to agree.

When the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water was first nurtured, its ability to weaken the enemy while helping friends allowed it to be ranked as one of the top five major sea demons.

The major sea demon needed the same resources to be nurtured as an Island Whale did in order to hatch. Both required water-elemental energy and spirit qi.

Although major sea demons did not need as pure spirit qi and elemental energy as the Island Whale did, the difference was not significant.

But there was an exception to everything. The major sea demon that had awakened the Purple Frigid Heavy Water needed water-elemental energy and spirit qi of very high purity. It required water-elemental energy and spirit qi that could only be produced by a Class 5 Creation Master in order to grow.

Although the Azure Federation also had Class 5 Creation Masters, the Class 5 Creation Masters were swamped with work every day and did not have the time to continuously produce pure spirit qi for a major sea demon.

It was good to have a major demon that had unlocked a life water. However, it would become a pointless endeavor once it required an excessive investment of resources.

After weighing the pros and cons, they decided that it would be a good choice to give this major sea demon to the Moon Empress in exchange for her friendship.

Moreover, the Moon Empress had given them significant Creation Master resources that contained spirit qi that was so pure that it was beyond Lan Xun's comprehension.

Lan Xun could not believe that the Moon Empress could produce such pure spirit qi, even after becoming a Class 6 Creation Master.

Although the Moon Empress had stipulated that Yin Lin was the only one allowed to use the pure spirit qi, Yin Lin was also an Azure Envoy and would use it for the Azure Federation.

Lan Xun agreed to this condition without hesitation.

The Moon Empress had been delighted when she obtained the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water.

Other people might not have spirit qi of high purity, but Lin Yuan was not lacking in it at all.

Lin Yuan had given her almost 1,000 of the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies.

Half of the 1,000 Spirit-Mouthed Peonies would be enough for the major sea demon's evolution.

Moreover, the major sea demon was not the maximum extent sea demons could reach.

There was a large correlation between the evolution of a sea demon's bloodline and the purity of the spirit qi and elemental energy it was supplied with.

There were experts in the Azure Federation that had evolved their major sea demons to king sea demons.

The elder family head of the Azure Seeping Dragon family had even managed to evolve his king sea demon into an emperor sea demon.

Sea demons and mermaids both used their bloodlines to define hierarchy.

The elder family head of the Azure Seeping Dragon family was only a Class 5 Creation Master, and he would not be able to produce as pure spirit qi and elemental energy as Lin Yuan could.

The Moon Empress looked forward to seeing Lin Yuan nurture the major sea demon that had awakened the Purple Frigid Heavy Water into an emperor sea demon or perhaps even further into territory that had not been uncovered yet.

"Little Yuan, it will be difficult for others to nurture this major sea demon. I know that you're able to produce pure spirit qi, so it will be easy for you to nurture the major sea demon. The Azure Federation keeps a tight grip over their sea demons. They have never let a major sea demon out of the Azure Federation before. As such, the Radiance Federation doesn't have much information on how to nurture sea demons. It will all depend on you to determine how far this major sea demon will go."

The Moon Empress had interacted with the experts from the Azure Federation before but had not sparred against them before.

Although she knew that a major sea demon's life water would transform once it evolved into a king sea demon, she did not have the full picture.

If she relayed her incomplete information, she might affect Lin Yuan's nurturing of the major sea demon.

Lin Yuan managed to nurture the Highest Access Fate-Knowing Beast and the Command Phoenix New Day Sparrow. It should be easy for him to nurture a major sea demon.

Now that the Moon Empress had fulfilled her reason for calling Lin Yuan over, she helped him to recharge the Extreme Token with a moonlight domain.

Since the Moon Empress' power had increased, her moonlight domain had also become stronger.

It was only natural that the Moon Empress strengthened the secret weapon that she had given Lin Yuan.

Besides strengthening the Extreme Token, the Moon Empress also gave Lin Yuan a new Crescent Moon Radiant Sunlight tablet.

In the fight against the Freedom Federation team, Lin Yuan had killed many of their members. As such, he had definitely left a deep impression on their experts.

Lin Yuan was going to head to the Divine Wood Federation and marsh world to develop. He would be awash in danger in both of these places.

The Moon Empress had given Lin Yuan the Invisible Demon, which had been pinnacle Creation breed, to protect him.

But within the span of a few short months, Lin Yuan's power had increased to the point that he barely needed the Invisible Demon. The Invisible Demon was no longer sufficient to protect Lin Yuan.

Although creating the Crescent Moon Radiant Sunlight tablet would seal off a portion of the Moon Empress' power, it was the thing that could protect Lin Yuan's life.

As such, the Moon Empress felt that the price she had to pay was worth it.

Lin Yuan did not leave the Radiant Moon Palace that night and had a peaceful night's sleep.

The next morning, Lin Yuan sat in the bath and distractedly played with the water while the gears in his mind turned.

1815 Morbius Wakes Up!

Lin Yuan did not like to reminisce.

But at this moment, he could not help but feel like a chapter of his life had just come to a close.

In the span of ten months, he had transformed from a weak and sickly young man in the Xia Region to one of the top geniuses in his federation. He knew full well how he had taken each step that led him to where he was today.

He never felt pride or satisfaction over his achievements before because his burden of duty and responsibility also grew alongside his power.

Luckily, no one from the Radiance Federation team died in the fight against the Freedom Federation envoy group.

Lin Yuan reeled in his thoughts. He was very eager for the future.

Morbius said that it would only sleep for eight hours. Yet, for some reason, it still had not awoken.

Yesterday night, Lin Yuan counted that the eight hours were almost up and assumed that Morbius would be waking up soon. But, he realized that he could not enter the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Given this situation, Lin Yuan immediately knew that the Spirit Lock spatial zone must have transformed as a result of Morbius fusing with the green gem.

Before the light green stone bowl and the Element Well appeared, the Spirit Lock spatial zone had been locked for some time.

...

It seemed that even Morbius had not anticipated these changes. Otherwise, it would have told Lin Yuan about it.

It was unlikely that such a sudden change would take too much time. Lin Yuan estimated that Morbius would be able to wake up today.

Lin Yuan put on the set of moonlight-colored spirit qi clothes that a spirit attendant had brought for him.

This set of spirit qi clothes was made from moon brocade.

Only the Moon Empress was allowed to use moon brocade in the entire Radiance Federation.

When moon brocade was worn, it made the wearer feel as though he was swathed in moonbeams. It was exceedingly comfortable.

After Lin Yuan put on the spirit qi clothes made of moon brocade, they looked at themselves in the mirror. VịSit no(v)3lb/!n.c𝒐m for new 𝒏ov𝒆l𝒔

This was when he noticed that his hair had grown out, and his fringe would cover his eyebrows if he pressed it down.

Lin Yuan summoned the Source Sand and instructed it to create feathers made of the Day and Night Spirit Silver.

The wings fluttered around above Lin Yuan's head.

The Source Sand deftly manipulated the feathers, and Lin Yuan's hair was cut quickly and neatly.

...

Now that Lin Yuan's hair was shortened, he instantly recognized a style.

Previously, when his hair had been slightly long and covered his forehead, it gave him a gentle appearance.

But now that his forehead was revealed, his beautiful forehead was on display to the world. It underpinned his already perfect bone structure and weakened his aura of a young man while raising his air of dignity.

Once Lin Yuan stepped out of his building, he noticed several spirit attendants sweeping the ground in front of his building.

These two spirit attendants were about to greet Lin Yuan as no spirit attendant in the Radiant Moon Palace dared to offend the Young Lord when they realized that he had cut his hair.

Now, he looked completely different and seemed more masculine than before.

The spirit attendants were only around 23 and 24 years old.

When Lin Yuan first came to the Radiant Moon Palace, he still had substantial baby fat on his face and looked like he was only 16 years old. As such, the spirit attendants did not see him as a peer.

But as they looked at him now, the two spirit attendants could not help but feel their cheeks heat up.

They felt that their Young Lord had grown up. They wondered when he would find a wife.

There were rumors that one of the Azure Envoys from the Azure Federation envoy group was on good terms with Lin Yuan. But it was unconfirmed if these rumors were true.

...

Lin Yuan smiled back at the spirit attendants who greeted him. He completely failed to notice that his smile caused their faces to flush red.

After Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress had breakfast together, the Moon Empress left for the imperial court to attend an imperial meeting.

Normally, the Moon Empress left the Radiant Moon Palace very rarely. She attended at least three imperial meetings but not more than seven or eight.

But she had already gone to the imperial court 15 times in the past month. Most of the meetings had featured Lin Yuan.

The Moon Empress had just received the news that Purple Love wanted to become allies with the Radiance Federation.

The Moon Empress knew where Purple Love had been spending her time ever since she arrived at the Radiance Federation. It was likely that Lin Yuan was involved in Purple Love's desire to become allies with the Radiance Federation.

Since Lin Yuan was on such good terms with the Heavenly Family Cottage, the Moon Empress had achieved her aim. She knew that she had made the right decision by placing the Mother of Bloodbath as Lin Yuan's Path Protector.

Now, besides already possessing a fey with the Barren bloodline, Lin Yuan was about to contract an intermediate devil and a major sea demon.

Lin Yuan was amassing a collection of precious resources from all three major federations.

Lin Yuan would not experience any conflict if he contracted a fey with the Barren bloodline, devil, and sea demon. He would also be able to use them simultaneously.

Moreover, Lin Yuan would not only be able to fuse with the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil under normal circumstances but even when he was in his mermaid form as well.

...

The Moon Empress was very happy with the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

However, even the contraction method where the spirit qi professional was the master and the devil was the servant would still affect the contractor's will.

The Moon Empress wondered if Lin Yuan would take on a strange appearance under the influence of the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

The Moon Empress almost burst out with laughter.

…

When Lin Yuan arrived back at the Return from Faraway Mansion, he saw Wen Yu next to the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus.

She was feeding the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus' nectar to the Fortuitous Blessing-Carrying Swallow while accompanying the Earth Rush Golden Lotus while it suntanned.

When she saw that Lin Yuan had returned, a smile spread across her face.

Although Wen Yu was very busy as of late, she was in a very good mood.

The Elemental Paper allowed Wen Yu to see a way that she could fight side by side with Lin Yuan. She no longer needed to worry that she could not keep up with Lin Yuan.

Moreover, Lin Yuan was the one who set her on this path in the first place.

...

However, Wen Yu knew that both her Creation Master talents and combat abilities were unable to meet Lin Yuan's needs.

Now that Wen Yu was in a relaxed mood and had a clear mind, she started smiling a lot more than she used to. She was also happy to put more effort into contributing to Pinru's Home, the fashion brand she managed alongside Lu Pinru.

Lu Pinru could objectively observe Wen Yu's changes and was extremely happy over it.

As he watched Wen Yu walking over to him, he prepared to give the Wailing Snake to her.

Next, he would call Ji Feng over so that the Prior Decree Sleeping Lotus would be able to support her. Then he would use the Suzerain Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar as the guide to aid Wen Yu in her contraction of the Wailing Snake.

Before Lin Yuan could summon the Wailing Snake out of the ring, he heard Morbius' voice.

1816 Complements!

A smile immediately spread across Lin Yuan's face when he heard Morbius' voice.

Morbius was finally awake.

"Partner, I thought that it would only take me eight hours to fuse with the Endless Gem. But, it turned out to take longer than I expected. I slept for another eight or nine hours because of the changes that took place with Klein Hub." DiisCoover 𝒖pdated novels on n(o)v. 𝒎

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard what Morbius said.

Morbius' tone was pleasant, and Lin Yuan could sense Morbius' joy through their link. This meant that the change that happened to Klein Hub had to be extremely positive.

Lin Yuan suddenly had a strong urge to go into the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Klein Hub had allowed Lin Yuan to open the door to the marsh world.

Lin Yuan clearly remembered that Morbius had not been aware of the name of the green gem before it fused with it.

But now, Morbius called that gem the Endless Gem. This meant that Morbius had figured out exactly what the gem was.

The Endless Gem came from the marsh world, and Klein Hub was also linked to the marsh world. If the Endless Gem could affect Klein Hub, it would likely be of great help to Lin Yuan's future development into the marsh world.

...

Besides seeing how Klein Hub had changed, Lin Yuan also wanted to see what the Jasmine Lily's five new abilities were now that it had been unlocked.

The five new abilities would greatly increase the Jasmine Lily's healing abilities and help to fill Lin Yuan's gap in terms of healing abilities.

Lin Yuan had never neglected to nurture the spirit-locked feys just because they could only use Normal abilities. All of them had undergone the best nurturing processes under Lin Yuan's care. He nurtured them just as how he nurtured Genius and Chimey.

Hence, although Lin Yuan had not seen the Jasmine Lily's other abilities, he believed that they would be pleasant surprises.

Lin Yuan was more happy than excited and said to Morbius, "Congratulations, Morbius!"

Lin Yuan could sense how badly Morbius yearned to complete its body.

Now, Morbius was one step closer to fulfilling its goal.

The ever-serious Morbius let out a rare peal of laughter and said, "Partner, I'm just an item. You're the one who has to go through the effort of completing me! You're the one who's helping me slowly complete myself!"

Morbius was constantly worn on Lin Yuan's wrist.

It knew that Lin Yuan had gone through a battle where he brushed against death before he killed Qian Yu and suppressed Lu Ou to the point that Na Na had to come and use the Endless Gem to trade for Lu Ou's life.

Lin Yuan naturally responded, "Morbius, if not for you, I wouldn't be as strong as I am now! Neither of us is riding off the other."

...

Lin Yuan had three exceptional things about him.

Firstly, he had two souls. Secondly, his body could draw in spirit qi from the air and inject it into feys. Thirdly, he had Morbius.

Without Morbius, if Lin Yuan had to rely on himself, he would still be a C-rank spirit qi professional with a Gold fey at best after the past ten months.

Without Morbius, he would not be able to complete the Class 2 Creation Master test within such a short span of time and become the Moon Empress' disciple.

Although the past ten months would not have been sufficient for Lin Yuan to attain such astonishing power on his own, he was confident that he would have been able to make it into the Radiance Hundred Sequence in ten years. Morbius' presence just greatly compressed Lin Yuan's growth timeframe and enabled him to obtain more opportunities.

Without Morbius, even if Lin Yuan had obtained the Sword of Service and Grace Queen, he would not have been able to fuse them into the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen.

Lin Yuan and Morbius were best friends and also complemented each other.

When Morbius sensed Lin Yuan's feelings, joy bubbled up within it.

Although this feeling was foreign to Morbius, it treasured the emotion.

Lin Yuan saw Wen Yu first when he arrived back at the mansion.

When Wen Yu walked over to Lin Yuan and saw him smiling at her, she felt as though his smile broadened when he saw her.

...

Wen Yu could not help but blush.

While she was guessing what was making Lin Yuan so happy, he waved his hand and summoned a four-winged flying snake with a head on both ends.

Wen Yu did not have a fey with the Barren bloodline, but she had seen Zong Ze's Fiery Sky Hou.

She could sense a similar aura to the Fiery Sky Hou from the four-winged snake.

Wen Yu was only a Class 2 Creation Master and could not discern any information about the Wailing Snake. She was also unaware of the Golden Wings' existence.

Wen Yu assumed that this four-winged snake was the fey with the Barren bloodline that Lin Yuan had contracted.

She had watched Lin Yuan's fight against the Freedom Federation envoy group. Her heart had raced with anxiousness during both the Capture the General and the group battle.

During the battle, Wen Yu noticed that Lin Yuan did not use a fey with the Barren bloodline. As such, she assumed that he had not contracted one yet.

But what Lin Yuan said next instantly stunned Wen Yu.

"Wen Yu, this fey with the Barren bloodline is called the Wailing Snake. It was pinnacle truly Barren from the moment it was born, and it can create fragmented barren environments in its surroundings. Its bloodline is extremely outstanding.

"You already used the Suzerain Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar to cleanse your soul before you contracted the Elemental Paper. I'm going to call Ji Feng over, so he can use the Prior Decree Sleeping Lotus to aid you while you contract the Wailing Snake!"

...

Wen Yu did not expect Lin Yuan to give the Wailing Snake to him.

She had been a moon attendant who grew up in the Radiant Moon Palace.

She had even more knowledge than some daughters of top factions.

Wen Yu knew what feys with the Barren bloodline meant to the Radiance Federation and how valuable they were.

Although Mystic Moon had accepted her as his disciple, she never expected that she would ever be able to contract a fey with the Barren bloodline.

Feys with the Barren bloodline could not be valued in the usual sense.

Wen Yu already had an idea of how Lin Yuan had come about this fey with the Barren bloodline.

It was likely that Lin Yuan had won among the stakes of the gamble from the Radiance Federation, Freedom Federation, and Azure Federation.

1817 Completed Jasmine Lily!

Wen Yu expected that the Moon Empress had called Lin Yuan to the Radiant Moon Palace last night so she could give the stakes of the gamble to him.

After all, as per the regulations of the bet, the fey with the Barren bloodline, devil, and major sea demon would go to the person who had the most outstanding performance during the battle.

In the second leg of the battle, Lin Yuan had shouldered the battle on his own. Moreover, Liu Yifan was a defense-type spirit qi professional and did not stand out while he was protecting his team.

As such, from both a visual and a practical standpoint, Lin Yuan was a head above Liu Yifan.

Now, Lin Yuan was giving the fey with the Barren bloodline he had won to Wen Yu so she could form a contract with it. This showed how important she was to him and how generous he your 𝒇avorite 𝒏ovels at no/v/e/lb𝒊

Wen Yu did not immediately receive the Wailing Snake. Instead, she said, "Young Master, Chu Ci hasn't contracted a fey with the Barren bloodline either. Why don't you give the Wailing Snake to her?"

Wen Yu was sincere.

Lin Yuan had already said that he wanted to give the Wailing Snake to her. All she had to do was agree, and the Wailing Snake would be hers.

Wen Yu had said what she said because she knew that feys with the Barren bloodline were rare to come by, much less one that was pinnacle truly barren from the moment it was born and could create fragmented barren environments around it.

If Wen Yu formed a contract with the Wailing Snake, Chu Ci would not have a fey with the Barren bloodline when it was time for her to contract one.

Since Wen Yu was a functional-type spirit qi professional, she did not need to be overly strong. She only needed to unleash her power at specific moments.

Meanwhile, Chu Ci and Lin Yuan were going down the path of combat.

A powerful fey with the Barren bloodline would undoubtedly help Chu Ci greatly.

Lin Yuan shook his head when he heard what Wen Yu said.

"Chu Ci is still young. She will only be able to contract a sacred source lifeform two years later when she reaches 18 years old. In order to contract a fey with the Barren bloodline, one has to be at least 20 years old, even after consuming a large amount of spirit-type and soul-type spiritual ingredients, as well as the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar. As such, there's still a long way for Chu Ci to go before she needs to contract a fey with the Barren bloodline!"

Lin Yuan had contracted Shiny and knew how difficult it was to make an arrogant fey with the Barren bloodline submit.

He had two souls and consumed the Earth Center Fine Milk. Nonetheless, and despite the fact that he was already 18 years old, he almost failed to form a contract.

As such, Chu Ci's chances of success were nonexistent.

Four years later, Chu Ci would be 20 years old. At that time, even if Mystic Moon was no longer in the picture, Lin Yuan felt that given his trajectory of growth over the last ten months, he would be able to obtain a fey with the Barren bloodline for her.

Wen Yu was extremely touched when she heard what Lin Yuan said.

She was his assistant and only wanted to contract feys to increase her powers so she could help him. Once she contracted the Wailing Snake, she could serve him better.

Forming a contract with a fey with the Barren bloodline was a very serious matter.

Wen Yu went off to make her preparations while Lin Yuan called Ji Feng, who was cleaning up the Whale Ocean Commerce's mess.

After the Spirit Guards conducted their thorough investigation, the members of Ten Thousand Flags Trading who had participated in Di Wantian, Di Wancheng, and Di Wanmi's plan were all killed. Since they no longer cared about the Radiance Federation, there was no need to send them to the Sin Cleansing Pool.

The members of Whale Ocean Commerce's third branch who were only after selfish benefits had been thrown into the Sin Cleansing Pool.

Ji Feng had been extremely busy of late.

Although Whale Ocean Commerce had been ruined by this matter, the side branches of Sea Sky Nurture had been deceived by Ten Thousand Flags Trading all this time. Ji Feng gathered all of them and reverted to the faction's original name, Sea Sky Creation.

A starving camel was still bigger than a horse.

With the pinnacle emperor-class Ji Feng around, Sea Sky Creation was still able to retain their level as a top veteran faction.

Despite not having slept for a few days, Ji Feng immediately rushed to the Return from Faraway Mansion after he received Lin Yuan's call.

Wen Yu still needed some time to prepare before she could contract the Wailing Snake.

During this time, Lin Yuan summoned the Jasmine Lily.

The Jasmine Lily still looked the same but had new abilities.

Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the Jasmine Lily.

[Fey Name: Jasmine Lily (Bud of Mountain Jade)

1818 Lin Yuan's Strengthened Healing Ability!

Lin Yuan realized that the Jasmine Lily's abilities had exceeded his expectations.

Lin Yuan had always felt that he was weakest in his healing abilities. But now that the Jasmine Lily had more abilities, Lin Yuan felt that he would no longer have to worry about lacking healing abilities.

Previously, Lin Yuan could only use the ability Heal in battle.

Every time the Jasmine Lily evolved, the ability Heal would improve slightly.

If not for the ability Vitality Imprint and Severed Limbs Growth, Heal would not be able to produce as large of an effect as it did.

The Jasmine Lily's healing ability was based on Severed Limbs Growth. DiisCoover 𝒖pdated novels on n(o)v. 𝒎

Vitality Imprint was only used during emergencies.

Without Severed Limbs Growth, the Jasmine Lily would be able to use Fasciated Flower Stand to put a target in a comfortable state. This would have a controlling effect on the target. The Crystallized Main Flower would also simultaneously drain vitality out of the target's body.

However, it would be greatly disadvantaged when it came to healing.

The only difference between the Jasmine Lily and other healing-type feys was that it could trigger the target's genetic model and enable the target to regrow missing limbs. Without this ability, the Jasmine Lily would have been useless.

But now, even if it lost the exclusive skill Severed Limbs Growth, the Jasmine Lily would still be an extremely powerful healing-type fey.

Mountain Jade Imprint would enable the Jasmine Lily to place a special imprint made from the Bud of Mountain Jade's pollen and vitality on either friendly or enemy targets.

If the imprint was applied on a friendly target, it would be able to increase the Jasmine Lily's healing effects without the Jasmine Lily having to use up more of its energy. It would also enable the Jasmine Lily to help its team longer.

In order to truly understand the effects of the Mountain Jade Imprint, reading the information from True Data was not enough. Lin Yuan would need to perform his own experiments to fully understand the parameters of the boost that the Mountain Jade Imprint could provide.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Yuan summoned a cat-species fey that he had prepared to hand over to Genius for it to contract.

This cat-species fey was already Gold X/Legend.

As he looked at the Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat, Lin Yuan immediately sensed its animosity toward him and how feral it was.

Lin Yuan had always had a way with feys.

However, he was not surprised by the Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat's attitude toward him.

Firstly, he had not released his pure spirit qi yet. Secondly, it had not been contracted by Genius and joined the rest of the cats in the marsh world yet. Additionally, it had been nurtured by the fat ginger cat and only listened to it.

The Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat seemed poised to attack him, and the Source Sand immediately restrained it.

Even though the Source Sand had only exerted slight force, the Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat ended up grievously injured.

Lin Yuan intentionally chose to experiment with the Mountain Jade Imprint on the Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat. He also would not flippantly harm a fey just for the sake of an experiment.

In order to make the Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat's bones and body stronger during its nurturing process, it had to fight constantly to break and reform its bones. Once it was done growing, its bones would become substantially stronger.

In order for the Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat to transform, Lin Yuan allowed the Source Sand to continue hurting the Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat.

Once the Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat reached its limit, Lin Yuan used the Jasmine Lily's ability Heal to treat the Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat and took note of how much vitality had been used.

Next, Lin Yuan instructed the Source Sand to inflict the same injuries on the Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat so the Jasmine Lily could use Mountain Jade Imprint on it.

A green imprint in the shape of a lotus appeared on the Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat's back.

The Jasmine Lily started to heal the Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat again.

Not only was the Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat healed 30% faster, but it also needed 30% less vitality as well.

This meant that the Mountain Jade Imprint would allow the Jasmine Lily to save 30% of vitality and become 30% more efficient when it was healing a target. Essentially, the Jasmine Lily's power had been raised by 30%.

However, the Jasmine Lily's improvement would not be 30% in a battle.

Lin Yuan had noticed a problem after helping the Insect Queen during combat numerous times.

This problem was that Lin Yuan could heal the insects, but it would never be enough to compete with the damage that the insects sustained.

As such, many insects would still end up dead.

Now that Lin Yuan's healing abilities had improved, he would enable the insects to sustain 30% more damage, and the time it would take to heal them was also reduced by 30%.

This would undoubtedly allow more insects to survive during battle.

Lin Yuan could do the same for other targets as well.

Although the Jasmine Lily's ability Mountain Jade Imprint was simple, Lin Yuan was very satisfied with it.

Healing Transfer would allow the Mountain Jade Imprint to be used dynamically and prevent overhealing.

Every time a target was overhealed, the vitality would explode, and targets in the surroundings would receive healing.

The Jasmine Lily had always been weak when it came to healing a group.

This ability would heal targets in the surroundings once the specific target had received sufficient vitality. As such, none of the Jasmine Lily's vitality would go to waste.

Nonetheless, the ability was not perfect.

If they were locked in a physical battle against an enemy, the explosion of vitality would also heal the enemy.

However, the Mountain Jade Imprint would perfectly make up for this limitation.

As long as the Jasmine Lily created more of the Mountain Jade Imprints, the healing effects could be transferred back to friendly targets.

Lin Yuan just needed to focus the Jasmine Lily on healing one target, and the entire team would be kept safe.

When the Jasmine Lily used the Mountain Jade Imprint on the Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat.

1819 The Astronomical Parliament's Insurance!

Lin Yuan noticed that the Mountain Jade Imprint did not require much vitality.

If the Vitality Imprint was not used, it might have been challenging for the Jasmine Lily to create over 1,000 Mountain Jade Imprints. However, it would be easy for it to produce hundreds.

Life Protecting Soul would protect a target's soul while the Jasmine Lily was healing its physical injuries.

After becoming the Moon Empress' disciple, Lin Yuan had read through the information about nurturing feys that was available in the Hidden Moon Pavilion.

In every 300,000 Jasmine Lilies that were nurtured to Platinum, about seven of them would gain the ability to protect the soul.

This means that only one in every 40,000 Jasmine Lilies would gain such an ability.

It was a stroke of luck for Lin Yuan to gain one of these Jasmine Lilies that developed this ability.

However, Lin Yuan did not believe in coincidences.

It was likely that the Jasmine Lily had developed the ability to protect souls because Lin Yuan used only the best ways to nurture it.

A healing-type fey was most afraid of overhealing during a battle.

But now, not only would Healing Transfer keep the amount of healing in check, but it would also become a defense ability for the soul.

When Lin Yuan was fighting against a fey skilled at soul attacks, he could use Life Protecting Soul to put up an effective defense.

Lin Yuan no longer had to be afraid of spiritual-type or soul-type feys.

With the sea of vitality stored in the Vitality Imprint, Lin Yuan would be able to easily deal with soul-type feys that were of higher grades than the Jasmine Lily.

The ability Red Crystal Jade Drain would be able to strengthen the Crystallized Main Flower and the controlling effect of making the target comfortable as well as the draining of vitality.

Red Crystal Jade Drain would be able to use the Crystallized Main Flower to attack the enemy while using the Mountain Jade Imprint as a guide.

This would enable it to drain vitality from multiple targets simultaneously. This meant that it would be able to harvest vitality from the surrounding lifeforms.

This would make the Jasmine Lily a vitality vampire on the battlefield.

In a large-scale team battle, the enemy's vitality would be able to be used to heal teammates. This would quickly cause the enemy side to crumble.

Previously, the Jasmine Lily could already use the Crystallized Main Flower to control feys of the same grade and quality as it.

Now that it had evolved, it was likely that the Jasmine Lily would be able to take control of Suzerain/Myth I feys as well.

If the Jasmine Lily had been able to unlock its abilities earlier, the team battle would not have been as much of a struggle as it had been.

Since the feeling of comfort that came with healing was not associated with spiritual attacks, it was difficult to dodge such a feeling.

Once the enemy was in a state of comfort, they would soon become as sweet as baby sheep.

As for Mountain Jade Prayer, Lin Yuan was willing to call it the strongest healing-type ability.

When Mountain Jade Prayer was used in conjunction with the Vitality Imprint, it would allow vitality to rapidly enter the target that had the Mountain Jade Imprint applied on them. This would heal the targets that had the Mountain Jade Imprint applied on them to full health. They would be no different from a persistently surviving cockroach.

Even if the target lost multiple limbs, it would be able to quickly regrow them using Severed Limbs Growth.

The key point was that there was no distance limit for the ability Mountain Jade Prayer. No matter how far the Jasmine Lily was from the target, it would be able to use Mountain Jade Prayer.

Lin Yuan immediately thought of the Astronomical Parliament.

Besides Yin Lin, Su Yiren, and Ta Lei, Lin Yuan could not rest easy regarding the other Astronomical Parliament members.

Bei Xu, Bei Xu, and Wo Lun were on the precipice of death every day.

Bei Xu lived in the horribly adverse environment that was the Grotto Continent while Wo Lun was out at sea and could encounter danger at any moment.

Lin Yuan had used his unique methods to help Bu Po become a Class 3 Creation Master and enabled him to appear on the Spirit Mother's radar. It was very likely that he would be chosen to become the Spirit Mother's disciple.

If he did end up as the Spirit Mother's disciple, he would have the chance to become the next Spirit Mother.

However, it would be difficult for him to distinguish himself from all the disciples.

Bu Po could be assassinated by a rival at any moment. DiisCoover 𝒖pdated novels on n(o)v. 𝒎

According to the information that Lin Yuan had obtained from the Hidden Moon Pavilion, the Spirit Mother was not overly concerned by such incidents.

Rather, he liked to use such a method to weed out the incompetent so the next in line could distinguish themselves.

Since Lin Yuan was so far from them, he could only give them opportunities from time to time, but he would not be able to watch them grow.

Lin Yuan felt that he was failing as a system.

But now, things were going to change.

Using the Jasmine Lily's ability Mountain Jade Prayer, Lin Yuan would be able to secure the safety of the members of the Astronomical Parliament.

He would be able to ascertain if any of them were in danger by seeing if the Jasmine Lily's vitality had been used up.

It would also not be difficult for Lin Yuan to confirm this as he just needed to spend a certain amount of willpowers, and he would be able to apply the Mountain Jade Imprint on Bei Xu, Ta Let, Bu Po, and Yin Lin.

Lin Yuan stored the Jasmine Lily away, and a smile of satisfaction spread across his face.

After being significantly benefited by Lin Yuan, the previously hostile Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat was still wary of him but was no longer in an attacking stance.

Lin Yuan did not want to cuddle with the Gold X/Legend Golden Bone Jade-Clawed Cat. It was around two meters long, had golden fur that was as sharp as metal, and could easily pierce the skin of spirit qi professionals.

Lin Yuan had become accustomed to cuddling Genius and found it difficult to act the same way with other cat-species feys.

He was about to enter the Spirit Lock spatial zone to see how it had changed, but he checked the time and realized that Wen Yu should be done with her preparations.

Although he was curious, he was in no rush to check on the Spirit Lock spatial zone's changes because he would be spending plenty of time in the Spirit Lock spatial zone in the future.

Lin Yuan now possessed the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil and the major sea demon that had awakened the Purple Frigid Heavy Water. There was no reason for him not to contract them.

Moreover, there was still the matter of the Disaster World Faceless Beast that had not stopped thrashing about in Lin Yuan's soul.

Lin Yuan would soon have to use the Beast Spirit's Soul that the Goddess of Mercy had given him to take over the Disaster World Faceless Beast's soul so he could tame it.

1820 Concubine Sweet Conch

No matter how powerful Na Na and Lu Ou were, once the Beast Spirit's Soul replaced the Disaster World Faceless Beast's soul, they would be unable to retrieve it.

…

The clear surface of the lake glinted with flecks of pink light.

A group of strange-looking purple clamshells was continuously spitting out pink pearls.

!

The light from the pearls blanketed the other lifeforms in the lake.

Under the illumination of the pink light, the scales of the aquatic feys changed intermittently.

A few large fusiform-shaped fish swam up to the surface of the lake.

Their scales gleamed with pink light, and they chomped a school of small fish in half.

Normally, unless a special bloodline is involved, the blood and organs of fish-species feys should be dark red.

The small fish from the school of fish all looked extremely ordinary, but their organs and flesh were pink and red.

Two girls dressed in pink dresses and veils covering their faces had expressions of mixed fear and shock behind the veils.

They held two large pails and poured small fish into the lake.

Before the fish entered the water, their scales were light green. The blood that flowed out from them when they crashed into each other was also red.

But a moment after they entered the water, their scales all turned pink.

One of the girls said, "When Lordess Na Na brought Lord Lu Ou back, she had been livid. Even Lord Lu Ou, who's usually smiling, hasn't turned his frown upside down yet! Do you think something serious happened?"

The other girl hurriedly reached out her hand and clapped her hand over the veiled mouth of the girl who had spoken and replied, "Nico, watch your words! We don't have the right to discuss matters regarding Lordess Na Na and Lord Lu Ou! The many previous lessons should have warned you. Why haven't you learned to keep your mouth shut yet?"

The girl named Nico hastily slapped a hand over her mouth so she would not say anything else.

Her terror only eased a while later.

She changed the topic and said to the girl next to her, "Nero, Lord Lu Ou's child beast should have come to the lake last night to eat the fish that have transformed their bloodlines to obtain the Concubine Sweet Conch's light. This pattern has not broken once since the day he formed a contract with the child Disaster World Faceless Beast."

A look of confusion also came over Nero's face.

She could not shake the feeling that something had gone wrong on Lord Lu Ou's trip to the Radiance Federation.

Nonetheless, all she could do was sigh and push the questions out of her head because she knew that she was nothing more than a servant whose job was to prepare the Disaster World Faceless Beast's food. There was no point in her being concerned by anything else.

There was a grandiose palace about three kilometers from the lake.

There were many pink decorations within the castle.

The statue of a short-furred beast sat on the tip of the castle's sharp point.

If Lin Yuan could see the statue, he would immediately recognize it as the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

At that moment, due to the anger of the castle's mistress, all the servants inside the castle were trembling as they lay prone on the ground. It was as though they were afraid that they might incur her wrath and end up as a bloody stain on the golden carpet.

A standing woman was draped under a cloak of pink and white fur that gleamed with faint pink light that resembled the same shade of light that the Concubine Sweet Conch emitted.

The woman had an expression of grief and anger as she looked at Lu Ou reproachingly.

But she seemed to be unable to fully blame Lu Ou because of Na Na.

This woman not only suppressed her reproachful feelings toward Lu Ou but also felt bad for him. Evidently, she had great affection for Lu Ou.

The woman seated on the throne did not speak to the woman next to her.

The tension in the hall was almost palpable.

This environment caused the servants to even try and keep their trembling to a minimum.

However, none of this affected the silver-haired young man.

His eyes were closed as though he was sensing something.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and said to the woman on the throne, "Mother, I can sense that Little Disaster is still alive. My spiritual energy is still intact! Mother, help me come up with a way to get Little Disaster back!"

The servants did not seem to find the way the silver-haired young man addressed the woman to be strange.

But if anyone else heard it, their jaws would drop.

All the experts who were favored by the Freedom Federation's royalty had guessed that Lu Ou was Na Na's child because she treated him way too well. Not even the Mirror God and the God of Fools treated their disciples half as well as how Na Na treated Lu Ou.

However, these were all guesses that arose out of envy and jealousy. Even if all of them voiced it, they would not believe it to be true.

After all, Na Na had never been married.

Na Na looked at Lu Ou and gently patted his soft silver hair as she replied, "If there was a way, I would never have allowed Little Disaster to stay in the Radiance Federation. But, we don't have evidence that it is trapped in the soul of the Moon Empress' disciple.

"Even if you can prove it, the people from the Radiance Federation would never allow us to carry out the investigation. They will never release Little Disaster, no matter how much resources I'm willing to pay. The same would go for us if we had defeated them and obtained one of their special feys."

Although she seemed to be comforting Lu Ou, her fists clenched up.

Resentment bubbled up within her and distorted her facial features.

Her hatred had even broken through the shell of aloofness that every member of royalty had trained to keep on their face.

At that moment, the object of Na Na's loathing was not the Radiance Federation, Lin Yuan, or the Moon Empress, but the Goddess of Mercy and Li Yang. VịSit no(v)3lb/!n.c𝒐m for new 𝒏ov𝒆l𝒔

If Li Yang had not asked to take Lu Ou with him, Lu Ou would never have left the castle. If Lu Ou had not left the castle, nothing would have happened to him.

The promises that Li Yang had made to her only stoked the flames of her rage.

However, the hatred she felt for Li Yang was less than 10% of what she felt for the Goddess of Mercy.

Na Na would not have been forced into such an unfavorable position if not for the Goddess of Mercy.

1821 Na Na's Worries!

They were on the same side. Yet, not only did the Goddess of Mercy not help Na Na, but she even made the situation worse for her.

If the Goddess of Mercy had not done so and helped Na Na instead, she might have been able to retrieve Little Disaster. She also would not have had to give away so many resources.

She had given up a Seed of Satan and a dimensional gem that she had not tapped into yet.

Although Lu Ou's spiritual energy had not been damaged yet, it was only a matter of time.

!

The damage might have been lessened if Lu Ou had immediately lost all connection to the Disaster World Faceless Beast. Lu Ou could have recovered from the loss after wallowing for a while.

But now, as long as the Disaster World Faceless Beast remained alive, Lu Ou would not be able to move on.

In such a state, there was no way Lu Ou could increase his power.

The more Na Na thought about it, the angrier she became. Once the meeting at the Freedom Mystic Temple was over, Na Na would go into seclusion.

She would make the Goddess of Mercy once she started walking down the heaven's path and unlocked her birth horoscope.

Presently, she was weaker than the Goddess of Mercy and had less authority during the meetings at the Freedom Mystic Temple.

The Mirror God and God of Fools used to be able to keep the Goddess of Mercy in check.

But after the Goddess of Mercy unlocked her birth horoscope, the Mirror God developed feelings for her.

As such, Na Na could not be certain if the Mirror God and God of Fools would be on her side if she engaged the Goddess of Mercy in conflict.

Lu Ou's eyes turned red when he heard what Na Na said.

At that moment, the woman wearing the pink and white fur cloak let out a sigh and said, "I will break the bloodline link with Little Disaster and stop supplying it with the Concubine Sweet Conch's light through bloodline power. Without the Concubine Sweet Conch's light, Little Disaster's bloodline will slowly dry up, and it will be of no research value to the Radiance Federation. They will definitely try to use Little Disaster to understand the Disaster World Faceless Beast's nurturing method."

Na Na nodded.

She was able to nurture the Disaster World Faceless Beast because of a coincidence that took place 60 years ago when she became a Class 5 Creation Master.

The Concubine Sweet Conch's light was required to nurture and increase the Disaster World Faceless Beast's power.

Suddenly, a thought struck Na Na.

When she first started nurturing the Disaster World Faceless Beast, it not only reacted to the Concubine Sweet Conch's light but also to pure spirit qi.

However, the pure spirit qi she was capable of producing at the time was insufficient to evolve the Disaster World Faceless Beast's bloodline. Thus, she chose the significantly inferior path of using the Concubine Sweet Conch's light.

At first, the Disaster World Faceless Beast's strength did not lie in its curses but in its ability to absorb and change fate.

It was the light from the Concubine Sweet Conch that opened up a side path for the Disaster World Faceless Beast to go down.

Now that the Moon Empress could purify the Eternal Heart, she was worthy of being called a Class 6 Creation Master.

As such, she could definitely produce spirit qi that was purer than what Na Na could produce.

But she remembered that she had already asked the Mirror God for pure spirit qi that Class 6 Creation Masters could only produce. However, it had still been insufficient to evolve the Disaster Faceless Moon Beast's bloodline.

Hence, it was likely that the Moon Empress would be unable to do so either.

This made Na Na relax.

If the Radiance Federation managed to take control of the child Disaster World Faceless Beast and use pure spirit qi to evolve its bloodline, the Disaster World Faceless Beast would transform and attain an even more elite bloodline.

At that time, the Disaster World Faceless Beast would no longer require the Concubine Sweet Conch's light, and the Disaster World Faceless Beast she had nurtured would end up belonging to the enemy.

Since Disaster Concubine had decided to break the bloodline link between itself and the child Disaster World Faceless Beast, Na Na decided that Lu Ou should also break his contract with it.

Then, she would ask the God of Fools to concoct the potion that could recover spiritual energy and find another fey for Lu Ou.

This was a period of rapid increase of power for Lu Ou. Even a delay of a single day was not permitted.

The conflict with the Radiance Federation had arisen because of Li Yang's unknown plan and because the Mirror God and God of Fools had agreed to it. Gẹtt the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐v𝒆ls at 𝒏.o/(v)/e/l/bi𝒏.co𝒎

Their most recent loss was acceptable, and the price they had paid had not been overly devastating.

But if they lost during the Major Federation Meeting, the consequences would be too heavy for the Freedom Federation to bear.

After all, the Major Federation Meeting involved feys that came from that mystic realm. There was no expert in the world that did not want a fey that came from that mystic realm.

…

Lin Yuan, Ji Feng, and Wen Yu were currently in the activity room on the third floor of the Return from Faraway Mansion.

Lin Yuan and Wen Yu had held the first Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting here.

The Astronomical Parliament had significantly changed Wen Yu's personality.

Previously, she had not had confidence and felt that she was of no help to Lin Yuan.

The appearance of the Astronomical Parliament allowed Wen Yu to regain her confidence.

But now, she was embarking on a new opportunity to form a contract with the Wailing Snake.

After Wen Yu contracted the Wailing Snake, she would have just as many resources as any other disciple of royalty.

At that moment, Wen Yu was both nervous and excited.

A fey with the Barren bloodline had a special significance to any one of the Radiance Federation's young elites.

Lin Yuan could tell that Wen Yu was nervous and said to her, "Wen Yu, you have already consumed the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia twice to cleanse your body and soul of impurities.

"After you contracted the Astronomical Parliament, your spiritual energy has only been increasing, to the point that it far exceeds regular people. In order to tame the fey with the Barren bloodline during the contraction process, you will need to use your soul, spirit, and mind.

"Your soul and mind are up to standard. In terms of your mind, I'm sure you are determined to charge forward into the future!

"Out of the three, the burden will be the greatest on the soul. Ji Feng's fey will protect your soul and reduce the pressure it will have to endure.

"Don't worry. Once you contract the Wailing Snake, you'll know what kind of items you'll need to nurture it. I will help you evolve the Wailing Snake in the future."

1822 Possibility of Building a Palace in the Marsh World!

While Lin Yuan spoke, he surveyed the Wailing Snake.

Any fey with the Barren bloodline could control a specific attribute.

For example, Zong Ze's Fiery Sky Hou controlled fire, Lin Yuan's Golden Wings controlled wind, and An He's Country Governor Kui controlled earth.

As such, the Wailing Snake would also be able to control a certain attribute. However, Lin Yuan could not be certain what attribute it was.

!

The Wailing Snake could dry up moisture to create land masses in the marsh world. The land's foundation would consist of soil from the marsh world.

The Wailing Snake actually controlled water. But it had a reverse control over water compared to the traditional method.

This reverse control allowed it to target water-type feys and counter them during battle.

Lin Yuan had already changed the focus of the direction of his development.

Previously, his focus had been on the Radiance Federation. But now, he had moved it to the Startling Lines Continent and the marsh world.

Lin Yuan could enter the marsh world at any time through Klein Hub. Hence, no matter where he was, it would be easy for him to enter the marsh world.

Lin Yuan's change in the focus of the direction of his development resulted in the destination of Sky City's development changing as well.

A large reason for Lin Yuan establishing Sky City was to gather resources.

If he gathered resources in the Radiance Federation, he would be taking away from the Radiance Federation's wealth.

As such, it would be better for him to take the riches of other continents.

Su Yiren was holding down the fort in the Startling Lines Continent. Her governance ability was lacking when compared to Wen Yu, but the gap was not large. It was enough to just have her in the Divine Wood Federation.

Lin Yuan intended to send Wen Yu to the marsh world to help him manage the base there and speed up the development.

The Vein Land Imp could continue looking for underground mineral ores in the Divine Wood Federation. However, Lin Yuan intended to send the Land Imp's Apostles and Favored Believers to the marsh world.

The Land Imp had the ability to manipulate the ground.

With the Land Imps to help the Spirit Craftsmen in the building of the base, the general structure would be quickly formed. This would save a lot of effort on the Spirit Craftsmen's part.

In order to build a structure on the ground in the marsh world, the foundation had to be built twice as deep as usual. The Land Imps would essentially grow the structure out of the ground, so a foundation would not be needed to be built.

In order to ensure that the structure built by the Land Imps was stable, the Spirit Craftsmen would have to embed various metal-type spiritual ingredients into the structure.

Lin Yuan wanted to help Morbius obtain the Endless Gems that it needed to complete itself, as well as obtain powerful source-type lifeforms and sacred source lifeforms from the marsh world. All in all, his development into the marsh world was of utmost importance.

Ever since Sun Ningxiang joined Condense Fairy Orchard with Sky City as one of its branches, she had used the resources given by Sky City to complete the tasks that Lin Yuan had assigned her and to further Condense Fairy Orchard's development. This was so she would be able to regain control over the market it had lost because of their lack of Creation Master resources in recent years and the bullying from other factions.

Lin Yuan already spoke to Sun Ningxiang on the phone last night.

In another month, Sun Ningxiang would be able to finish everything she needed to do and her schedule would be freed up.

Lin Yuan intended to send Sun Ningxiang to the marsh world to help as well.

The people who had chosen to stay in the marsh world to cultivate the plant-type feys needed someone to manage and take care of them. Sun Ningxiang would be perfect for taking up the mantle.

Lin Yuan found out from White Speak what the marsh world's most precious and edible plants and fruits were.

The lifeforms in the marsh world were mostly carnivorous. After all, all of the plant-type dimensional lifeforms were ferocious and craved meat more than animal-type feys.

Many of them grew sweet and tasty fruits. However, they were not meant to be consumed but to entice and trap prey.

Hence, the delicious fruits all fetched high prices in the Marsh East Palace. The tastier they were, the more expensive they would be.

This allowed Lin Yuan to see a business opportunity and realize why so many Star Web articles were written about the opening of marsh dimensional rifts.

The high-grade dimensional lifeforms from the marsh world would not start rampaging like other high-grade dimensional lifeform after they emerged from a dimensional rift. Rather, they would gather in orchards and choose a fruit tree to claim as their own before they started confronting each other.

Now, Lin Yuan knew the reason why.

His conversation with White Speak allowed Lin Yuan to see the road he would go down in the marsh world.

Given his fake identity as a Dictator that could even deceive White Speak, as well as the countless fruits growing in the territory, Lin Yuan would be able to corner a significant portion of the marsh world's market.

All-Creature Dictator was currently building the Palace of Everything.

As such, Lin Yuan wondered if he would be able to build his own palace in the marsh world as well. Then, he would be able to display the fruits in the palace and trade them for resources.

It was extremely common for dimensional lifeforms to kill and hunt each other. As such, source-type items and sacred lifeforms were littered around the marsh world.

They were valuable because Apostles and Favored Believers could absorb the energy within the source-type items and sacred source lifeforms. After all, the energy within the source-type items and sacred source lifeforms came from the solidifying of the energy of the Apostles that had died. ViiSiit n𝒐velb𝒊/n.c/(𝒐)m for l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels

There were some fruits with special medicinal properties that Lin Yuan could feed to Rising Lizard and Wendy. However, the benefits that Rising Lizard and Wendy experienced would be no different from what regular feys would experience.

This meant that if Lin Yuan could build a new palace where he supplied fruits that could evolve dimensional lifeforms and Apostles, he would be able to secure dominance over the market.

Many spirit fruit trees in the main world could store energy. The Storing Ability White Peach and Deposit Ability Litchi Branch were examples of such trees.

While both of these plant-type feys were being nurtured, they could be guided by any type of energy so that they produced fruits that contained the same type of energy.

If the two plant-type feys continued to be nurtured, the energy within the fruits could be absorbed by lifeforms.

1823 Storing Ability White Peach and Deposit Ability Litchi Branch

When these two plant-type feys were discovered, the Creation Masters became interested. They felt that these two feys would be able to usher in a new era of fey development.

But when the Creation Masters started to excitedly nurture the Storing Ability White Peach and Deposit Ability Litchi Branch, they realized that the energy within the fruits produced would not share the purity of the energy that was used to nurture the feys.

After a large amount of the Creation Masters' precious resources went down the drain, the Storing Ability White Peach and Deposit Ability Litchi Branch became the objects of hatred for all Creation Masters.

Eventually, the two plant-type feys' significance was reduced to nothing more than tasty premium fruits.

! Gẹtt the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐v𝒆ls at 𝒏.o/(v)/e/l/bi𝒏.co𝒎

If sufficient water-elemental energy was used to nurture the Storing Ability White Peach and Deposit Ability Litchi Branch, they would allow any spirit qi professional who ate it to gain moisturized and bouncy skin.

As such, they could also be seen as beauty products.

Many Class 1 and 2 Creation Masters earned their first wad of cash by nurturing the Deposit Ability Litchi Branch and Storing Ability White Peach.

Lin Yuan was not interested in cosmetics or the taste of the Storing Ability White Peach and Deposit Ability Litchi Branch. After all, he had more than his fair share of delicious fruits.

He was interested in the Storing Ability White Peach and Deposit Ability Litchi Branch because he wanted to use source-type power to nurture them to see if the fruits they produced could also contain source-type power that dimensional lifeforms would be able to consume.

If his experiment was a success, he could imagine how excited and frenzied the dimensional lifeforms in the marsh world would become.

Only the Dictators from the dimensional world had the ability to concoct source-type power.

Source-type power was also the medium that enabled dimensional lifeforms to raise their life ranks.

In order to grow and cultivate plant-type feys on a large scale in the marsh world, the Wailing Snake would be needed to create the land.

The higher the Wailing Snake's grade was, the larger the mass of land it would be able to create.

In the marsh world, the work would not end with just constructing a building because the water-elemental energy seeping into the ground would cause the ground to slowly be replaced by water.

This was why Lin Yuan had gone through such effort just to find a suitable location to build his base.

Alternatively, Lin Yuan could have used earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to create a mass of earth.

The territory that Lin Yuan had chosen was not turning into water because of the three mountains around it. As such, the marsh at the center was shallow. Even the deepest part was 20 meters deep at most.

Normally, the deepest part of a marsh was about 200 meters deep. There were also some that reached depths of 1000 meters.

With the Wailing Snake, Lin Yuan would be able to expand the territory endlessly with Klein Hub at the center.

As long as the Wailing Snake remained on the territory, its ability to draw out moisture would guarantee that no water-elemental energy seeped into the territory.

When Wen Yu heard what Lin Yuan said, she immediately remembered that young man who had given her a drop of the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar outside the Radiant Moon Palace.

That young man had chosen her, elevated her, found feys for her, and paved the way for her future. He had always been extremely thoughtful.

Wen Yu now possessed many things that others could never even hope to lay their eyes on. Alas, she had not obtained any of them on her own. Lin Yuan had been the one who had given all of them to her.

Ever since Wen Yu became Lin Yuan's aid, she rarely thanked him for the gifts because she preferred to repay her using her actions.

But now, Wen Yu could not help but verbally thank Lin Yuan.

Given that Ji Feng was the Young Leader of Sea Sky Nurture, he understood the significance of feys with the Barren bloodline.

Ji Feng was rather envious of Wen Yu. He knew why Lin Yuan had called him over.

Ji Feng immediately summoned the Prior Decree Sleeping Lotus and instructed it to help Wen Yu with a serious expression on his face.

A strange expression spread across Lin Yuan's face when he heard Wen Yu's thanks.

Lin Yuan said with a curious tone, "Why are you being so polite with me? You should start preparing to form a contract with the Wailing Snake!"

From Lin Yuan's expression, Wen Yu could tell that he saw her as close kin. This was the only reason Lin Yuan found it strange when she thanked him.

With a warm feeling stewing in her heart, Wen Yu took a deep breath and started forming a contract with the Wailing Snake.

Before contracting the Wailing Snake Wen Yu had been nervous. She was afraid that she would fail and disappoint Lin Yuan.

Wen Yu had been worried about the condition of her mind because she had never experienced a bloody fight of tooth and nail, nor was her will as steely as that of combat-class spirit qi professionals.

But now, she found a way to strengthen her will and a reason to do so.

While Wen Yu was contracting the Wailing Snake and clashing against it, her soul, spirit, and mind were all locked in a tough battle against the Wailing Snake.

She now knew the pain that Lin Yuan had gone through when he contracted his fey with the Barren bloodline.

If Lin Yuan could get through it, so could she. Otherwise, she would not deserve to stand by Liu Jie and Lin Yuan's side in the future.

With this resolution, Wen Yu held her own against the Wailing Snake for almost two hours.

During these two hours, Lin Yuan watched as Wen Yu's face turned from healthy red to ghostly white. She was also trembling as though her soul was undergoing horrible torture.

Lin Yuan knew that Wen Yu was about to fall.

It already exceeded his expectations that she had managed to hold on for two hours.

Lin Yuan nodded at Ji Feng, and the latter immediately ordered the Prior Decree Sleeping Lotus to use its abilities to soothe Wen Yu's soul.

If there was external aid when a spirit qi professional was trying to contract a fey with the Barren bloodline, the fey with the Barren bloodline would react even more violently.

Alarm bells immediately rang in Ji Feng's mind.

The Wailing Snake was getting ready to launch its final attack on Wen Yu.

If Wen Yu could make it through this attack, she should be able to tame the Wailing Snake and turn it into her lifelong companion.

However, even with Ji Feng's help, the Wailing Snake's attack on Wen Yu's soul would still result in Wen Yu's soul becoming seriously injured.

Just as Ji Feng was about to relay the information to Lin Yuan, a beam of green energy landed on Wen Yu's body.

The green energy instantly filled Wen Yu's body with vitality.

At the same time, the vitality that leaked out formed a protective layer over Wen Yu's soul. This would help Wen Yu's soul to defend against damage.

With this protective layer, the Wailing Snake's attack would not harm Wen Yu's soul.

1824 Lin Yuan Lets Out a Sigh of Relief!

The protective layer on Wen Yu's soul was formed as a result of the Jasmine Lily's ability Life Protecting Soul.

Although the Wailing Snake's final attack on Wen Yu would not cost Wen Yu her life and any injuries her soul sustained could be healed by Ji Feng and sped up if the Cold Snow Pine resin was used, it would take around two months for the healing to be completed.

During the two months, there was no way that the Astronomical Parliament's parliamentary meeting could be held. This would put a huge dent in Lin Yuan's plans.

Lin Yuan could see Ta Lei and Su Yiren anytime because they were in the Divine Wood Federation. Yin Lin was still in the Radiance Federation, so Lin Yuan could explain the situation to her.

!

But he would lose communication with Bei Xu, Bu Po, and Wo Lun. It would be a devastating blow to all three of them if they could not enter the Astronomical Parliament.

At that moment, Lin Yuan was relieved that he had unlocked the Jasmine Lily's abilities and allowed it to be completed before Wen Yu tried to contract a fey with the Barren bloodline. Otherwise, they would be in big trouble now!

The Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meetings had not been going on for long. If communication was lost for two months, even if Bei Xu, Bu Po, and Wo Lun managed to survive, their confidence in the Astronomical Parliament would plummet.

Lin Yuan did not want to affect the morale of the team.

Now that Lin Yuan had used the Jasmine Lily to prevent the Wailing Snake from hurting Wen Yu's soul, the latter could use her soul, mind, and spirit to start a counterattack against the Wailing Snake.

It did not take long for the Wailing Snake to fall under the pressure exerted by Wen Yu.

A moment later, Wen Yu opened her eyes.

At that moment, she had become the owner of the Wailing Snake.

When she opened her eyes, her gaze was filled with excitement.

Although Lin Yuan had not used True Data to check on the Wailing Snake, the Moon Empress had already told him what abilities the Wailing Snake had.

Hence, Lin Yuan already knew how the Wailing Snake could be of help to him.

But Wen Yu was still unaware of this.

When Wen Yu sensed the Wailing Snake's ability Draining Lake Water River, she knew she could greatly help Lin Yuan in his development in the marsh world.

Wen Yu was not a combat-class spirit qi professional and did not need to fight. As such, she knew that she only needed to have functional-type abilities.

The Wailing Snake provided her with a functional-type ability that she could use to help Lin Yuan.

Just as Wen Yu was about to speak, Lin Yuan asked, "Wen Yu, what kind of resources does that Wailing Snake need to increase its power?"

Wen Yu replied, "Young Master, the Wailing Snake needs a large amount of snake blood and water- and earth-elemental energy in order to evolve its quality and grade. There aren't many requirements for the snake blood. It is just the catalyst for the water- and earth-elemental energy. But the higher the purity of the water- and earth-elemental energy, the greater the benefits the Wailing Snake will receive."

Only the contractor knew what his fey with the Barren bloodline needed to increase its power.

Lin Yuan let out a sigh of relief when he heard what Wen Yu said. He had been afraid that the Wailing Snake would be as picky as Shiny.

Up till now, Lin Yuan still had not started evolving the Golden Wings. This was because he had not obtained the necessary resources.

He had accumulated a significant amount of main-phoenix-species fey blood from Dark Clouds Bird Shrine. However, the time was not right for him to harvest the livers of dragon-species feys.

If the Wailing Snake also needed such precious spiritual ingredients to increase its power, it would be a headache for Lin Yuan.

But if the Wailing Snake only needed a large amount of snake-species feys' blood and pure water- and earth-elemental energy, Lin Yuan had nothing to worry about!

Lin Yuan had been nurturing Listen.

In this year's ranking of top factions, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce would definitely make it into the ranking.

There were not many factions with the chamber of commerce role.

Although the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce's rapid development was mainly owed to the sale of luxury resources, Lin Yuan had specified that they must not lose their original role as a chamber of commerce.

Listen had invested a large amount of money earned from the sale of luxury resources to the chamber of commerce side of the business. He had broadly expanded both the chamber of commerce's online and offline resources.

It could be said that Lin Yuan would be able to obtain any resources that could be found on the market from Listen. No matter how much he needed, Listen would be able to obtain it for him.

Thus, Lin Yuan did not have to worry about the large amount of snake blood that Wen Yu needed because Listen would be able to settle it for Wen Yu.

Lin Yuan took out a Diamond fey storage box and gave it to Wen Yu.

Wen Yu looked inside the Diamond fey storage box and saw ten brocade boxes.

She did not know what the brocade boxes contained, but Lin Yuan had to have his reason for giving them to her.

Wen Yu took out one of the brocade boxes and looked inside. She saw 100 shining water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. FOlloow 𝒏ewest stories at n𝒐(v)

Lin Yuan said to Wen Yu, "Every brocade box contains 100 water or earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. The 1,000 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls should be enough to sustain the Wailing Snake for some time.

"You don't yet have a Willpower Rune that is suitable for the Wailing Snake. Let's evolve the Wailing Snake to Bronze/Legend first and keep its grade there. Once you've comprehended a Willpower Rune, you can evolve the Wailing Snake to Bronze/Fantasy and continue increasing its power. This will ensure that the Wailing Snake's talent will be preserved."

Ji Feng had followed Lin Yuan for some time but understood the extent of Lin Yuan's wealth the least out of all the people from the Return from Faraway Mansion.

After all, Lin Yuan had never produced so many resources in Ji Feng's presence before.

At that moment, Ji Feng was stunned by Lin Yuan's store of resources.

Why does Lin Yuan seem like a mine where mineral ores can be discovered? He is utterly nonchalant about it! Also, he is way too strict when it comes to fey evolution!

If Lin Yuan had instinctively asked Wen Yu to evolve the fey to Bronze/Fantasy to preserve as much of its talent as possible, it meant that Lin Yuan held himself to such a high standard as well.

1825 Draining Lake Water River and Training Earth Into Pearls!

It was no wonder that his Diamond/Fantasy feys were so much stronger than the Diamond/Fantasy feys of others!

Wen Yu did not reject the brocade boxes full of resources. After all, she had already received a significant amount of resources from him and had become used to it.

Wen Yu knew that her focus should be on how she could develop Sky City to the maximum extent.

She thought about the Wailing Snake's Normal ability and said to Lin Yuan, "Young Master, the Wailing Snake's Normal ability is called Draining Lake Water River, and it can change the environment of its surroundings into a lake or a mountain!" Gẹtt the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐v𝒆ls at 𝒏.o/(v)/e/l/bi𝒏.co𝒎

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

He thought that the location where the Wailing Snake was would turn into a dry mass of land just as it had been described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

He did not expect that there could be more than the drying effect.

There were some water-type feys that would immediately cause their environment to become colder.

The Wailing Snake could control if the ground became dry or wet.

Previously, Lin Yuan had been worried that the Wailing Snake would cause the ground to dry excessively, and he would have to expend significant manpower to rehydrate the ground.

Otherwise, not only would the plant-type feys be unable to survive, but even the resilient Soldier Ration Radish and the Marsh Ground Sphagna that required a large amount of water would also die.

According to what Wen Yu said, the Wailing Snake could adjust the moisture level of the ground it was manipulating.

The Wailing Snake could create a suitable environment based on the requirements of the plant-type feys growing on the land.

With the Wailing Snake in control of the land, there would be no need for the Medusa Snake Demons or workers to water the plant-type feys.

From all perspectives, this was good news and would save a large quantity of manpower.

Alas, the Wailing Snake would not be of help anytime soon.

The size of land that the Bronze Wailing Snake could control would not be very large.

Wen Yu went on to say, "Young Master, the Wailing Snake can currently control a land size of around 5,000 square kilometers."

Shock spread across Lin Yuan's face.

Although 5,000 square kilometers was not considered very large, it still exceeded Lin Yuan's expectations.

The Wailing Snake was currently only Normal quality. Yet, it was already able to control a land size of 5,000 square kilometers.

This meant that once it evolved to Bronze/Legend, it would be able to control ten times more land.

5,000 square kilometers was almost half of the size of the Radiance Hundred Sequence testing ground. This was large enough for Lin Yuan's territory in the marsh world.

Lin Yuan hurriedly contacted Listen to tell him to prepare a large amount of snake-species fey blood.

Then, Lin Yuan brought the snake blood into the breeding room and started to increase the Wailing Snake's power.

Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the Wailing Snake.

Lin Yuan saw that Draining Lake Water River could not only create masses of water or mountains but could also attack other lifeforms by drawing out water from their bodies until they died of dehydration.

After all, blood composed most of a lifeform's body.

At the same time, the Wailing Snake could use its bones to pierce the skin of enemies.

This combat ability mainly came from its ability to manipulate water and earth elements.

If heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers were used to nurture the Wailing Snake, it would have much stronger control over elemental energy than other feys did.

Even elemental-type source-type feys that had not received proper nurturing could have a weaker control over elemental energy than the Wailing Snake did.

As Lin Yuan continuously injected spiritual power into the Wailing Snake's body, its grade climbed and soon reached Elite.

When the Wailing Snake reached Elite grade, it gained a new ability called Training Earth Into Pearls, which enabled it to absorb the energy of a specific type of soil and solidify it into pearls.

The Wailing Snake would be able to apply the effects of the pearls on the masses of water and land that it had control over. As such, it would be able to benefit a large area at once.

When it came to soil that contained special energy, Lin Yuan's mind immediately went to marsh soil.

Marsh dimensional rifts opened much less frequently than abyss and water world dimensional rifts. Hence, top grade marsh soul was much more valuable than top grade strange flames and strange water.

Every type of top grade marsh soil contained powerful energy that could substantially benefit the plants that grew in them or lifeforms that lived around them.

If Lin Yuan could harvest top grade marsh soil from the marsh soil, he could give it to the Wailing Snake to absorb. This would allow the Wailing Snake to apply the energy from the marsh soil to the earth and water that it took control of.

Lin Yuan felt that both Training Earth Into Pearls and Draining Lake Water River were functional-type abilities.

Most of the soil in the Cultivated Garden was Revival Soil.

The soil in the marsh world was naturally fertilized. If it was combined with the effects of any top grade marsh soil, it would be comparable with the Revival Soil from Cultivated Garden.

Moreover, the Training Soil Into Pearls could train more than one type of soil.

As long as it had enough time, the Wailing Snake would be able to turn many types of marsh soil into pearls and impart the effects from the pearls into the ground and water it had control over.

Lin Yuan felt that the Wailing Snake was a fey that was made to help him expand into the marsh world.

Soon, after continuous consumption of snake blood, water and earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, and pure spirit qi, the Wailing Snake evolved to Elite X/Epic.

After Lin Yuan used spirit qi to break through that level, the Wailing Snake evolved to Bronze grade.

When the Wailing Snake evolved to Elite grade, it grew significantly larger.

But when it reached Bronze grade, the 200 square meter breeding room became slightly cramped.

Since the Wailing Snake was a fey with the Barren bloodline, it had extremely high intelligence.

The Wailing Snake knew how Wen Yu felt toward Lin Yuan and also that Lin Yuan was the one who was evolving it. Thus, it felt very affectionate toward Lin Yuan.

1826 Transform Spirit Strong Defense

When Lin Yuan was evolving the Wailing Snake, the latter was already smart enough to speak continuously, thanking him.

While Lin Yuan was nurturing the Wailing Snake, he instinctively checked its gender.

He tried stopping the small female snake from thanking him multiple times, but it still continued doing so.

This made Lin Yuan think in frustration, This little female snake is too polite!

!

The Bronze Wailing Snake was almost 12 meters long, and its four wings had a 10-meter wingspan.

Given its size, it could well be considered a giant fey.

Lin Yuan estimated that it would grow to at least 1,000 meters once it reached Diamond/Fantasy.

Lin Yuan found it hard to swallow that such a gargantuan creature was thanking him in a child-like voice and acting coquettishly toward him.

When the Wailing Snake reached Bronze grade, three exclusive skills appeared. Lin Yuan checked on all of them.

[Mountain Water Molded Body: The ground and water within the Wailing Snake's control will become nutrients. By sacrificing the ground and water, the Wailing Snake's power will be increased, and its physical body will be strengthened.

Lin Yuan immediately knew that Mountain Water Molded Body would allow the Wailing Snake to roll grades and do combat.

If the Wailing Snake was a power offense-type fey, Mountain Water Molded Body would be the best choice of exclusive skill. It would allow the Wailing Snake to sacrifice the territory under its control when it was in danger so it could transfer the energy from the territory to itself.

It was rare for feys to be able to temper their bodies. This was even more so for stronger feys.

No matter how strong the Wailing Snake became, Mountain Water Molded Body would allow it to continue strengthening its body.

As the Wailing Snake continued to take control of earth and water to temper itself, it would strengthen its body to the point that it would become much physically stronger than other feys of the same grade.

However, Mountain Water Molded Body did not complement Draining Lake Water River and Training Earth Into Pearls which were strategic abilities that would help Lin Yuan with his development in the marsh world.

Moreover, Mountain Water Molded Body could end up counterproductive to his plans.

Once the Wailing Snake sacrificed the ground and water under its control, all the plant-type feys that grew on the ground would die immediately.

Lin Yuan could feed top-grade marsh soil to the Wailing Snake so that it could use Training Earth Into Pearls.

However, the low-grade marsh soil that was discovered would be buried beneath the territory to benefit the growth of the plants.

Once the Wailing Snake used Mountain Water Molded Body, its power would be raised significantly. However, it would cause the marsh soil in the ground to be sacrificed. This would be a huge loss.

In terms of combat, Lin Yuan had situated White Speak, the Kill Food Sky Butterfly, and Shadow within the marsh world. There was no need for the Wailing Snake to participate at all.

Thus, Lin Yuan moved on to the second exclusive skill. Rêađ lat𝒆st ch𝒂pters on n𝒐/v/𝒆/l(b)i𝒏.c𝒐m

[Double Head Mutual Kill: The Wailing Snake can use its bloodline to curse a target. Its two heads will start attacking each other. When the Wailing Snake sustains damage, the damage can be transferred to the cursed target.

Lin Yuan was rendered speechless when he saw this exclusive skill.

Firstly, the Wailing Snake could not be considered a power offense-type fey.

Both the Fiery Sky Hou's Normal and Elite abilities were meant for power offense-type feys. As such, it could be classified as a power offense-type fey.

There was no need for the Wailing Snake to have combat ability, much less develop a new combat style.

The only outstanding part of the second exclusive skill was that it would enable the Wailing Snake to use its bloodline to curse a target.

With Lin Yuan providing water- and earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls as well as pure elemental energy from the Element Well, there was no doubt that the Wailing Snake's bloodline would be mighty.

But the method of hurting itself to curse the opponent, essentially taking the opponent on in a stamina battle of vitality, was terrible.

Any external party could interrupt the two feys while they were clashing against each other.

Moreover, there were things like the Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds pollen that could relieve the curses' effects.

Both Wang Fuxiang and Zong Ze had received the benefits of the Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds pollen.

The Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds pollen would also be useful against Double Head Mutual Kill.

Lin Yuan could not be certain if other spiritual ingredients or fey abilities would also be able to limit and counter curses.

Normally, any abilities that could be limited or countered by opponents or external factors would not be a good choice.

If Lin Yuan had to choose between Mountain Water Molded Body and Double Head Mutual Kill, he preferred Mountain Water Molded Body.

If it had no choice but to choose this ability, the Wailing Snake could just avoid using this ability in the marsh world. It was still better than a useless curse ability.

Lin Yuan had no choice but to place his hopes in the Wailing Snake's third possible exclusive skill.

When he saw the third exclusive skill, a smile spread across Lin Yuan's face.

[Transform Spirit Strong Defense: By increasing the area of ground and water that it controls, it can sacrifice its combat ability and turn into the protector of the land. It will become an all-knowing master of that land.

Lin Yuan was already interested in the aspect of Transform Spirit Strong Defense that allowed the Wailing Snake to increase the area of water and land it controlled.

The larger the area of his territory in the marsh world, the better.

Lin Yuan could not be certain how much Transform Spirit Strong Defense could increase the area of water and ground the Wailing Snake controlled.

But the larger the area, the more benefits Lin Yuan would receive.

Moreover, Transform Spirit Strong Defense would allow the Wailing Snake to become the protector of the land and know the minute details of exactly what happened on the land.

Once the Wailing Snake became the protector of the land, it would be able to appear anywhere on the land. It would be easy for it to handle any issues that took place within the land.

Although White Speak's territory was right outside Lin Yuan's territory, White Speak could not guarantee that no powerful dimensional lifeform would break through its territory to invade Lin Yuan's territory.

1827 Wen Yu's Choice and Thoughts!

There were many normal people living on Lin Yuan's territory who were in charge of cultivating the plant-type feys.

They would not even be able to handle a weak Marsh Crocodile.

The Wailing Snake could secure these people's safety as the protector of the land.

There was bound to be conflict wherever there were people. Once any squabbles broke out within the territory, the Wailing Snake would be able to step in immediately to settle it.

!

The Marsh Ground Sphagna was Wendy's Favored Believer.

The Marsh Ground Sphagna's scouting ability mainly involved mapping the geographical formations. As such, it would not clash with the Wailing Snake's ability.

Lin Yuan would be able to rest easy if he could know exactly what was happening in his territory at all times. He would not have to worry about trivial matters that took place within the territory. Through the Wailing Snake, he would receive an accurate report.

Lin Yuan's favorite was the third exclusive skill.

However, the Wailing Snake was a fey that Wen Yu had contracted. Thus, Wen Yu had to be the one to make the choice.

As such, he called Wen Yu, who had been waiting outside the room.

Wen Yu was about to ask Lin Yuan about the Wailing Snake when she saw the gigantic creature in the breeding room.

She did not expect the Wailing Snake to grow to such an extent when it reached Bronze grade.

Wen Yu never had any large feys, but she liked them tremendously.

Moreover, the Wailing Snake had an extremely appealing appearance. It had a golden body that was elegantly coiled, two large snake heads, and light gold wings.

Snake-species feys mostly had sinister appearances, and very few of them had such a magnificent appearance.

Lin Yuan said, "Wen Yu, I have evolved the Wailing Snake to Bronze grade. Take a look at the three exclusive skills and pick one of them. Personally, I think the first and third ones are not bad. The second one doesn't complement the Wailing Snake's other two abilities."

Wen Yu carefully sensed the Wailing Snake and said with a thankful tone, "Young Master, I think that the third exclusive skill, Transform Spirit Strong Defense, suits the Wailing Snake best! It will also make it easier to manage the territory in the marsh world."

Once she was done speaking, Wen Yu did not hesitate to choose Transform Spirit Strong Defense.

Wen Yu's reason for becoming stronger was to be of help to Lin Yuan. Now that she had the chance to help him, there was no way she would pass up on the opportunity.

When Wen Yu made her choice, Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the Wailing Snake.

[Fey Name: Wailing Snake

[Fey Species: Barren-species/feather-winged-species

[Fey Grade: Bronze (1/10)

[Fey Type: Earth/Water

[Fey Quality: Normal

Abilities:

[Draining Lake Water River: According to the willpower within its body, it can change the environment to fill it with water or mountains. When attacking a lifeform, it can choose to strip the lifeform of the moisture within it or cause its bones to lose control.

[Training Earth Into Pearls: Choose a soil that contains special energy and absorb it into the body to solidify the energy into pearls. The pearls can affect the size of the ground and water under the Wailing Snake's control and apply the effects of the pearls to them. In combat, the pearls can be used as weapons.

Exclusive Skill:

[Transform Spirit Strong Defense: By increasing the area of ground and water that it controls, it can sacrifice its combat ability and turn into the protector of the land. It will become an all-knowing master of that land.

Lin Yuan said with a smile, "Wen Yu, leave the Wailing Snake with me! I will return it to you once I evolve it to Legend quality. You have been nurturing Lu Pinru all this time. How are the results?"

Wen Yu replied with a serious tone, "Young Master, Lu Pinru can now stand on her own two feet. There will be no problem for her to put on the Sky City's mask and manage the Star Web territory!"

Lu Pinru did not expect Wen Yu to have such high praise for Lu Pinru.

If Lu Pinru could manage Sky City's Star Web territory, it would be a load off Wen Yu's shoulders.

"Wen Yu, take the next two days to prepare. I have already contacted Sun Ningxiang, and both of you will be going to the marsh world two days later to help me manage my territory there!"

Wen Yu had wanted to go and visit the marsh world for a long time.

Recently, Sky City had been quiet.

Wen Yu spent most of her time organizing materials to set up Sky City's own information repository.

Wen Yu was more excited about managing the territory in the untapped marsh world than she was about managing Sky City's already well-managed Star Web faction territory.

"Young Master, there isn't much for me to prepare. I can go to the marsh world tonight."

When Lin Yuan saw how Wen Yu was raring to go, he said, "Slow down, Wen Yu. I plan on taking you to visit Yin Lin tomorrow afternoon. I already met her once since she arrived at the Radiance Federation. Since there is an opportunity for it, you should see her too.

"Zong Ze, Gao Feng, and the rest want to gather together for a meal tomorrow. You can get back to work after the meal. You can take these two days to rest!"

Wen Yu immediately became interested when she heard that Lin Yuan wanted to take her to see Yin Lin.

Wen Yu had noticed Yin Lin's attitude toward Lin Yuan during his fight against the Freedom Federation envoy group.

There was no question that Yin Lin was one of their own.

There were many ways that Sky City could work with Yin Lin. Through her, Sky City would be able to obtain feys and resources that were only available in the Azure Federation.

If Yin Lin could not bring herself to ask Lin Yuan for a collaboration, Wen Yu would step in to fill the gap.

The Azure Federation had always remained neutral between the Freedom Federation and Azure Federation.

After leaning so obviously toward the Radiance Federation on this trip, Yin Lin would definitely have to quell some issues when she returned to the Azure Federation. Yin Lin's authority in the Azure Federation might even be diminished.

Wen Yu wanted to work with Yin Lin because she wanted to obtain resources and help Yin Lin secure a more stable seat amongst the Azure Envoys.

This was the only way that Yin Lin would be of the most help to Sky City.

Ever since she ascertained her status within Sky City, Wen Yu no longer involved her emotions when she handled matters. Everything came after Lin Yuan's benefits.

While Wen Yu was chatting with Lin Yuan, she suddenly remembered the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting that would be taking place tomorrow.

The Astronomical Parliament was currently 4 Stars and could summon its members even if they were not sleeping.

1828 The Astronomical Parliament Parliamentary Meeting is About to Begin!

As such, Wen Yu decided that she would hold the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting with Lin Yuan before lunch.

However, once she went to the marsh world, she would be in a completely different space from the main world.

In order for the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting to take place, the members had to be in the same space.

Wen Yu hurriedly asked Lin Yuan, "Young Master, the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting won't be able to carry on as usual when I'm in the marsh world. If it's inconvenient to travel to and from the marsh world, why don't we inform the other members during this parliamentary meeting that we will only be meeting once a month from now on?"

Lin Yuan hurriedly shook his head.

Each Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting did not take long. It had already become part of the members' habit to attend the once-a-week meeting. There was no need to break this habit.

Moreover, it was much more convenient to take Wen Yu to and from the marsh world and the main world than it was to take her to and from the Radiance Federation and Divine Wood Federation.

The Spirit Craftsmen and plant-type fey cultivators in the marsh world could not leave because Lin Yuan wanted to keep news about the marsh world from leaking into the main world. At the crux of it, Lin Yuan could not trust these people.

Although Lin Yuan had carefully chosen them, the human heart was still an enigma. Lin Yuan could not know if any of them were harboring unsavory schemes.

If the people with evil intentions were left in the marsh world, they would not be able to cause much trouble.

Meanwhile, Wen Yu was Lin Yuan's aide who had been with him for a long time and even set up Sky City with him. He had absolute trust in her.

Although he still did not want anyone to know about the Spirit Lock spatial zone, he had the Jewelled Cave Golden Toad, which could be the bridge between the main world and Klein Hub and the marsh world.

As such, Lin Yuan would be able to take Wen Yu out of the marsh world whenever she wanted.

"Wen Yu, we will carry on holding the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting on a weekly basis. Both of us have the Thoughts Letter Papers and can communicate any time."

Wen Yu smiled and replied, "Young Master, the Thoughts Letter Paper needs to use mind power. Hence, they can be sent even if the users are in different spaces. Young Master, I'll still be able to contact you even when you're training in the Divine Wood Federation." Rêađ lat𝒆st ch𝒂pters on n𝒐/v/𝒆/l(b)i𝒏.c𝒐m

Suddenly, a thought came to Wen Yu's mind, and she asked, "Young Master, the Thoughts Letter Paper was originally meant to be given to the members of the Astronomical Parliament. However, Yin Lin and Su Yiren are in different situations.

"Now that the Seven States of Darkness has been destroyed, Su Yiren's status as a Dark Envoy is in name only. The Azure Federation still exists, but no one can be sure until the last moment if they will side with the Radiance Federation or Freedom Federation. As the fourth Azure Envoy, Yin Lin might not have much say in this matter. Should we keep our guard up against Yin Lin and not give her one of the Thoughts Letter Paper?"

Li Yang understood what Wen Yu meant.

The ability Thoughts Letter Paper would be extremely useful during the Major Federation Meeting. They could be used to inform the Radiance Envoys and Radiance Knights, who were scattered all around to gather.

Wen Yu was afraid that if they gave one of the Thoughts Letter Paper to Yin Lin, she would expose its existence.

Not exposing the existence of the Thoughts Letter Paper had not been part of her oath when she became a member of the Astronomical Parliament.

Hence, it was understandable for Wen Yu to be wary. After all, Lin Yuan was still the main decision-maker for everything.

Lin Yuan pondered over the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water as well as Yin Lin who had not hesitated to stand by his side against the Freedom Federation.

Lin Yuan said, "All the members of the Astronomical Parliament are equal. Yin Lin can also receive one of the Thoughts Letter Paper."

Lin Yuan made this decision after careful consideration.

Firstly, Yin Lin had helped him to involve two other disciples of the Radiance Federation's royalty. This had enabled the Radiance Federation's team to emerge victorious. Without Zong Ze and Liu Jie, Lin Yuan was not sure if they would have won even if he had fully emptied his tank.

Since Yin Lin made this decision, it meant that she was fully on Lin Yuan's side. As such, there was no way Yin Lin would reveal the secret.

Moreover, even if the secret of the Thoughts Letter Paper was leaked, it would not seriously impact the big picture.

Thoughts Letter Paper used up mind power to link with the Elemental Paper to transfer information. No external force could break this ability unless the Elemental Paper was destroyed or Wen Yu was killed.

Every federation envoy at the Major Federation Meeting would have to communicate with the two federation knights under them.

If Lin Yuan could become a Radiance Envoy, his Radiance Knights would be Liu Jie and Wen Yu.

As he continued to protect Liu Jie and Wen Yu over the next two years, it was unlikely that anyone would be able to break through his and Liu Jie's defenses to get to Wen Yu.

As such, there was no need to be overly worried about the information being transmitted through Thoughts Letter Paper.

If the existence of the Thoughts Letter Paper was leaked, Lin Yuan and Wen Yu would know that one of the members of the Astronomical Parliament was no longer on the same side as them.

After hearing Lin Yuan's opinion, Wen Yu said, "Young Master, why don't we hold the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting before we visit Yin Lin? This way, we'll be able to let her know in advance and arrange for a place to meet."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Lin Yuan was in no rush to address the Disaster World Faceless Beast, Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, or major sea demon because he had not even had the time to check on the transformed Spirit Lock spatial zone.

First, they would hold the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting and meet with Yin Lin. Then, Lin Yuan would settle everything else tonight.

After tonight, he would have contracted a fey with the Barren bloodline, a devil, and a major sea demon.

Lin Yuan had another reason for visiting Yin Lin besides thanking her. He also wanted to trade for some high-grade strange water.

Very few Class 4 and above water world dimensional rifts opened near the Radiance Federation. Although they had a stock of strange water, not much of it was high- or top-grade.

Lin Yuan needed strange water to nurture both Dark Blue and the major sea demon.

He preferred to trade with Yin Lin than burn holes in his wallet, buying them from the market.

1829 Opportunities for the Astronomical Parliament's Members!

The Azure Federation regarded strange water the same way that the Radiance Federation regarded strange flames. It was not considered rare.

Yin Lin would definitely turn him down if he tried to give her resources. But if he proposed a trade, he would be able to transfer resources to her and speed up her growth.

Soon, Wen Yu prepared two chairs and started the ritual for the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting.

When the Astronomical Parliament had only been 1 and 2 Stars, it took Wen Yu half an hour to complete the ritual. But now that it had evolved to 4 Stars and Wen Yu's spiritual energy had also increased significantly, it only took her five minutes to complete the ritual.

!

Wen Yu thought about how her spiritual energy had increased and said to Lin Yuan, "Young Master, should we recruit two new members for the Astronomical Parliament? We will be able to expand the scale of the Astronomical Parliament!"

Lin Yuan had always been eager to increase the number of the Astronomical Parliament's members.

But this time, he shook his head at Wen Yu's suggestion and said, "This time, I intend on evolving Bei Xu, Bu Po, and Wo Lun. I especially have to focus on Bei Xu and Wo Lun."

Bu Po had already met up with the Spirit Mother. Although the Spirit Mother liked to use the method of weeding out the weak, he would not allow one of the feyless candidates to clash against the other reserve disciples that had Diamond grade and above feys.

The candidates for the next Spirit Mother would come from his reserve disciples.

Although only one of them could succeed the role, there were many other roles besides Spirit Mother.

Lin Yuan just needed to use the Astronomical Parliament to ensure that Bu Po survived to the end.

As for now, Bu Po lived a very comfortable life. By comparison, Bei Xu and Wo Lun were barely getting by.

Lin Yuan still had not been able to pinpoint the Grotto Continent on a map.

Bei Xu led a ragtag team, and they only managed to just scrape by every day. They not only had to be worried about the environmental threats but also the residents of the Grotto Continent.

Currently, Bei Xu was still a C-rank spirit qi professional. He definitely did not have the power to take on significant threats.

Although Lin Yuan had a wealth of resources and could even enable Ta Lei and Bu Po to become Creation Masters, he could not instantly raise Bei Xu's spirit qi professional rank.

As such, Lin Yuan needed to come up with another plan.

However, he did not understand Bei Xu's circumstances, and any plan he came up with might not be useful for Bei Xu. Hence, he needed to have a proper discussion with Bei Xu during the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting.

Wo Lun was an A-rank spirit qi professional.

Since he was a sailor, he had to encounter far more dangerous situations than regular spirit qi professionals.

Lin Yuan had provided Wo Lun with the Bronze X/Legend Blue Ring Sea Octopus and several bottles of potions that would be able to evolve the Blue Ring Sea Octopus to Diamond grade.

Wo Lun had a Willpower Rune that was suitable for the Blue Ring Sea Octopus.

Otherwise, Lin Yuan would not have used Star Spirit Seat to send the Blue Ring Sea Octopus to Wo Lun.

An A-rank spirit qi professional could roll grades to take control of Suzerain/Myth feys.

The Starlight Intelligent Dark Clouds pollen was becoming increasingly common, and many veteran and rising factions had ways to obtain it.

The hardest thing for A-rank spirit qi professionals was to evolve their feys from Fantasy I to Fantasy V. Every fey needed different resources to be able to evolve from Fantasy I to Fantasy V.

Even feys that needed the least conceivable amount of resources would take a pinnacle king-class expert five to eight years of hard work to accumulate.

Wo Lun did not have five to eight years.

Lin Yuan was still waiting for Wo Lun to build his own boat in the Violent Wind Federation that Lin Yuan would use to carve out a sea trade in the future.

Lin Yuan planned on spending more willpowers and laws this time to significantly improve Wo Lun by enabling the Blue Ring Sea Octopus to evolve to Fantasy Breed.

The Astronomical Parliament linked Lin Yuan, Wo Lun, and Wen Yu in a way that Wo Lun became their subordinate. Wo Lun was willing to sacrifice everything for them.

Thus, Lin Yuan was willing to provide Wo Lun with more in-depth resources.

When Lin Yuan was evolving the Blue Ring Sea Octopus, he noticed something special about the Blue Ring Sea Octopus. There seemed to be a unique bloodline within the Blue Ring Sea Octopus.

Lin Yuan had given the Blue Ring Sea Octopus to Wo Lun.

During the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting, Lin Yuan planned to ask Wo Lun if the Blue Ring Sea Octopus had mutated when it evolved from Bronze to Diamond.

Wen Yu thought, It looks like Bei Xu and Wo Lun are going to receive opportunities!

If Lin Yuan was willing to help Bei Xu and Wo Lun, he would definitely have ways to protect them no matter how far apart they were.

After Lin Yuan sat down on the chair, Wen Yu injected all the spiritual energy in her body into the cat's eye stone in her forehead. Rêađ lat𝒆st ch𝒂pters on n𝒐/v/𝒆/l(b)i𝒏.c𝒐m

The cat's eye stone lit up with silver light, and a brilliant sky of constellations materialized.

Once the parliamentary meeting began, Lin Yuan and Wen Yu, whose bodies now comprised of laws and willpowers, took their seats on the golden thrones.

They immediately sensed a few of the north-south constellation seats reacting.

The first to react was the Andromeda seat with which Yin Lin had formed a contract.

Yin Lin knew Lin Yuan would seek her out after she gave him such a large helping hand.

Today was the day for another scheduled Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting.

Yin Lin thought, Leo will probably invite me to meet with him during this Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting!

As such, Yin Lin was extremely excited about this Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting.

She forgot that the others around her could feel what she felt when they were composed of their soul and willpowers.

Wen Yu gently shook her head when she sensed Yin Lin's excitement.

Wen Yu did not have a problem with Yin Lin. In fact, she felt grateful that Yin Lin had helped Lin Yuan.

Given that Wen Yu was also a young girl who had experienced similar feelings, she understood how Yin Lin was feeling.

Wen Yu shook her head because she felt bad for Yin Lin.

Wen Yu knew how quickly Lin Yuan advanced. It was extremely difficult for ordinary people to catch up to him.

Wen Yu was only able to stay by Lin Yuan's side because her feys and sacred source lifeform had strategic significance.

Before Liu Jie obtained the Firefly Demon Fetuses, he had struggled to catch up with Lin Yuan despite possessing numerous insect-species carcinoma feys.

...

Although Yin Lin was the fourth Azure Envoy and had awakened two types of beast patterns, she might end up left in the dust by Lin Yuan if she did not give up everything to stick close to him.

1830 Mutated Blue Ring Sea Octopus!

Wen Yu had witnessed Lin Yuan's increase in power.

There was a time when becoming a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence was a seemingly unattainable goal for Lin Yuan.

But soon, he started overtaking them one by one.

Even Long Tao, who was the current Sequence #2 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, had long been left behind by Lin Yuan.

!

Once Lin Yuan left someone in the dust, there was no way they would be able to catch up to him.

The second person to show up after Yin Lin was Wo Lun.

Wo Lun and Bu Po were new to the Astronomical Parliament. Both of them saw the Astronomical Parliament as their savior.

Since Wo Lun had become accustomed to the savagery of the sea, he did not believe in having faith. But now, the presence of the Astronomical Parliament surpassed his cognition.

Wo Lun was now the head of a team and was free. Thus, after Wo Lun felt the Astronomical Parliament summoning him, he immediately found an empty space and entered the Astronomical Parliament.

He looked at Lin Yuan and Wen Yu as though they were gods that he worshiped.

Previously, Wo Lun only had the Gold Tied Armor Sea Fern. He had not stood out amongst A-rank spirit qi professionals.

But now that he had the Diamond I/Fantasy I Blue Ring Sea Octopus, he had managed to take control of Duolun Harbor in the span of a day.

Since the ground in the Violent Wind Federation was not suitable to grow plant-type feys on, its residents could only sail out to sea to fight against the elements to obtain sea resources.

Wo Lun was much more powerful than the other sailors from a small site like Duolun Harbor.

According to the way the Radiance Federation was managed, any region belonging to a city that was conquered by an external force would trigger the City Guards into action to remove the hostile entity.

However, this was the opposite case for the Violent Wind Federation.

Once it became certain that Wo Lun had absolute power to take over Duolun Harbor, the envoys from the Violent Wind imperial court immediately went to Duolun Harbor and made Wo Lun the consul of Duolun Harbor.

However, they had requested that Wo Lun protect Duolun Harbor from any and all danger.

In the past, Wo Lun might not have agreed to this opportunity.

Once he became the consul of Duolun Harbor, he would not be able to go out sailing as often and continue his cavalier sailor lifestyle. Instead, he would have to carry out the duties of a consul and remain in Duolun Harbor.

Wo Lun loved adventure, and such a life would seem like jail to him.

But after he became a member of the Astronomical Parliament, he knew that Leo wanted him to set up his own faction.

Hence, Wo Lun had been trying to carry this out.

But, setting up a restaurant through which he would recruit sailors would not be as convenient as being the consul of Duolun Harbor.

After he became Duolun Harbor's consul, he would have a reason to gather the sailors together.

This might be the first time that Wo Lun owned a Fantasy Breed fey, but he had seen feys of this level before.

However, the Blue Ring Sea Octopus was much larger and more ferocious than the Diamond/Fantasy feys that Wo Lun had encountered in the past.

Normally, feys like the Blue Ring Sea Octopus that attacked targets using psychotoxins were not large.

This was common knowledge to spirit qi professionals.

Although Wo Lun was not a Creation Master, he was aware of such common knowledge.

In order to investigate the Blue Ring Sea Octopus' special characteristics, Wo Lun had consulted three Class 2 Creation Masters.

He had not summoned the Blue Ring Sea Octopus out for them to see and had only described the Blue Ring Sea Octopus to them.

Displeasure had spread across the faces of the Class 2 Creation Masters. It was as though Wo Lun had been spinning a sea tale to them.

The Class 2 Creation Masters' reaction not only did not disappoint Wo Lun but delighted him. He now knew that the Blue Ring Sea Octopus had indeed mutated in an unprecedented way.

There had been a Diamond/Fantasy Knife-Thrusting Man-Killing Crab within the 270 leagues under Duolun Harbor's territory. It had seriously deterred Duolun Harbor's development.

As the new consul of Duolun Harbor, Wo Lun had immediately gone to settle the Knife-Thrusting Man-Killing Crab.

This act had earned Wo Lun the thanks of all the sailors from Duolun Harbor. All the sailors had had to pass through the territory that the Knife-Thrusting Man-Killing Crab occupied, and they had been living in fear of becoming the crab's next meal.

When Wo Lun became a consul and declared that he was going to kill the Knife-Thrusting Man-Killing Crab, he removed an issue that had plagued the sailors for years. This allowed Wo Lun to gain their loyalty.

Moreover, Wo Lun had wanted to test the Blue Ring Sea Octopus' combat ability.

When the Blue Ring Sea Octopus killed the sharks, it had been evident that the sharks' combat power could not compare with that of the Blue Ring Sea Octopus.

As such, it had not been a good gauge of the Blue Ring Sea Octopus' combat power. Rêađ lat𝒆st ch𝒂pters on n𝒐/v/𝒆/l(b)i𝒏.c𝒐m

When the Blue Ring Sea Octopus fought the Knife-Thrusting Man-Killing Crab, the Blue Ring Sea Octopus easily slaughtered the Diamond III/pinnacle Fantasy I Knife-Thrusting Man-Killing Crab within two minutes.

The hard crab shell and knife-like pincers had been crushed under the Blue Ring Sea Octopus' tentacles.

The fight had only lasted two minutes because the Blue Ring Sea Octopus had toyed with the Knife-Thrusting Man-Killing Crab for some time to savor the experience of the kill.

Wo Lun had not gone into the water and had not seen the Blue Ring Sea Octopus absorb the gray ripples that emerged from the dying Knife-Thrusting Man-Killing Crab. However, he had sensed that the Blue Ring Sea Octopus had absorbed some type of energy after the extermination and strengthened itself.

The Blue Ring Sea Octopus' power left Wo Lun stunned. Could an instant kill happen in a fight between feys of similar grade and quality?

Although the Blue Ring Sea Octopus had evolved to Fantasy Breed from Bronze/Legend, it was almost unbelievable that it was this strong!

Leo had given the Blue Ring Sea Octopus to Wo Lun, so he intended to tell Leo about the Blue Ring Sea Octopus during the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting. He would also ask about what made the Blue Ring Sea Octopus special.

After Wo Lun respectfully greeted Lin Yuan and Wen Yu, Bei Xu, Ta Lei, and Su Yiren entered the Astronomical Parliament one after the other.

Bu Po only appeared in the Astronomical Parliament three minutes after Wen Yu sent out the signal.

He was very apologetic about his tardiness.

In the short span of a few days, Bu Po's life had been turned upside down.

1831 I'm Sorry Leo, But I Might Not Be Able to Make it!

Previously, he was a weak young man who the servants of the Earth Mothers even abused. Now, he was a disciple of the Spirit Mother to whom the Sky Mothers even had to bow in greeting. He had even seen the legendary Spirit Mother.

All of this left Bu Po terrified, but he also knew why he was receiving such treatment.

As one of the Spirit Mother's disciples, he was always surrounded by people. Bu Po had almost 5,000 people serving him.

The palace that Bu Po was assigned to was even larger than the village he had grown up in. Besides his servants, he also had four Sky Mothers and two Spirit Mother Guards by his side.

In a very short period, Bu Po had attained a high status but also had his freedom taken away.

When he received the Astronomical Parliament's signal, Bu Po had been training fighting strategies with the two Spirit Mother Guards.

He had only managed to slip away to his bedroom to enter the Astronomical Parliament by lying and saying that he was tired and wanted to take a nap.

Bu Po never felt a sense of belonging to the Spirit Mother Federation. He did not have much respect for the Spirit Mother either.

Bu Po knew what would have happened to him and his sister if not for Lin Yuan's existence.

As such, after he apologized, he immediately told Lin Yuan and Wen Yu everything about what was happening to him. He also did not try to hide anything from the other members of the Astronomical Parliament.

Bu Po felt that the members of the Astronomical Parliament gave him a warmer feeling than the Spirit Mother Federation did.

When they heard what Bu Po said, Yin Lin and Su Yiren immediately knew that his life had been transformed.

The Spirit Mother's reserve disciples received endless esteem in the Spirit Mother Federation.

But in the end, they would be pitted against each other in a battle of their Creation Master talent.

Lin Yuan had managed to turn Bu Po into a Class 3 Creation Master. This allowed Bu Po to become noticed by the Spirit Mother.

It was unlikely that another of the Spirit Mother's disciples was also a Class 3 Creation Master who was as young as Bu Po was.

If Lin Yuan gave Bu Po more resources that allowed Bu Po to take another step forward, Bu Po would almost certainly be able to emerge victorious from the battle between the Spirit Mother's reserve disciples.

There were still eight years before the current Spirit Mother's term ended.

If Bu Po became the next Spirit Mother, it would mean that the Spirit Mother Federation's next Spirit Mother would be under Lin Yuan and Wen Yu's control.

From Bu Po's attitude, it was clear that he did not feel a shred of loyalty to the Spirit Mother Federation. All of his affections were directed at Lin Yuan.

Among all the federations with Class 5 Creation Masters, the Spirit Mother Federation was the most closed off, and very little information about it was leaked to the outside world.

Hence, Bei Xu, Ta Lei, Wo Lun, and the rest did not understand much of what Bu Po said. Lin Yuan had been like them when he was still in the Xia Region and only knew of the happenings within the Radiance Federation.

At the same time that Lin Yuan turned Bu Po into a Class 3 Creation Master, he had also planned out Bu Po's life. Nonetheless, he had not expected Bu Po's journey to be so smooth.

Bu Po was already so vibrant that his light overshadowed the rest of the reserve disciples.

Given his position, it was inevitable that he would be the object of envy and targeted by the other reserve disciples.

Unlike the other reserve members who had the support of their powerful families, Bu Po had no one that he could rely on in the Spirit Mother Federation.

However, no support in the Spirit Mother Federation could compare with support from the Spirit Mother Federation.

If Bu Po wanted to rely on the Spirit Mother and gain his acknowledgment and blessing, his best bet would be to advance his own talent.

Lin Yuan said, "Bu Po, as of now, you only have the knowledge. It will be difficult for you to gain experience if you don't apply the knowledge practically. I will help you to advance further once you manage to reach 80% homogeneity when combining spiritual ingredients for a Grade 3 spirit fluid." ViiSiit n𝒐velb𝒊/n.c/(𝒐)m for l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels

Bu Po nodded dutifully.

Since Lin Yuan's image in the Astronomical Parliament consisted of his soul and thousands of willpowers and laws, Bu Po could not tell how old Lin Yuan was.

At that moment, Bu Po was looking at Lin Yuan with childlike admiration. It was the same way that a young man would look at his father.

Now that he understood Bu Po's circumstances, Lin Yuan knew that he would not have to worry about him.

Nothing was more important in the Spirit Mother Federation than the legacy of the Spirit Mother.

Bu Po's talent gave the current Spirit Mother a reason to be biased toward Bu Po. Bu Po was as important to the Spirit Mother Federation as Yin Lin was to the Azure Federation.

Once Lin Yuan was done speaking to Bu Po, Ta Lei hurriedly said, "Master, I have sent someone to investigate the land that I applied for. We will be able to begin building on this land within this month."

Ta Lei was still a child and was one to two years younger than Bu Po. Once he became familiar with someone, he acted like an innocent child.

Ever since Ta Lei and Su Yiren met up, Su Yiren had started teaching him.

As she watched Ta Lei excitedly chatting with Lin Yuan, Su Yiren said, "Ta Lei, you will be able to see Leo very soon in reality. You can say anything you want to him then."

After being taught by Su Yiren for more than a month, Ta Lei had changed from a simple young man to a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Thus, Ta Lei instantly picked up on what Su Yiren was trying to say. He stuck out his tongue and realized that he had been overly enthusiastic.

Each parliamentary meeting did not last long. Since he was going to be able to meet with Leo in reality, there was no need for him to take up the parliamentary meeting's time.

Lin Yuan glanced at Su Yiren.

It was true that Lin Yuan had not intended to dedicate much of the parliamentary meeting's time to Su Yiren, Ta Lei, and Yin Lin.

Lin Yuan looked at Bei Xu and saw that Bei Xu was staring at him unblinkingly.

Lin Yuan asked Bei Xu, "How is your current situation?"

Bei Xu continued to stare dazedly at Lin Yuan. His lips only parted a moment later as he said, "I'm sorry Leo, but I might not be able to make it!"

While Bei Xu spoke, he thought about the fey, source-type items, books, and resources that Lin Yuan had given him. The more he thought about it, the guiltier he felt.

He still had not been able to set up an official faction or repay Lin Yuan in any way.

He felt that he would not be able to make it past today and would be doomed to roaming the darkness forever. His life would end as a pile of bones in this underground world!

After growing up in the underground world, Bei Xu had long come to terms with death.

However, now he had interacted with light and experienced hope, it was difficult for even the steel-willed Bei Xu to accept such an end.

1832 Didn't Expect You to Receive Such an Opportunity!

There were members of the Astronomical Parliament who were about to meet with Leo, but he did not have such luck in his cards.

Lin Yuan, Wen Yu, Yin Lin, Su Yiren, Ta Lei, and Wo Lun were all shocked when they heard what Bei Xu said. They frowned simultaneously.

Lin Yuan asked Bei Xu in a solemn tone, "What's wrong? Why didn't you contact the Astronomical Parliament if something happened to you?"

After the Astronomical Parliament evolved and Wen Yu's link to the members of the Astronomical Parliament deepened, the members did not have to wait until they were asleep to enter the Astronomical Parliament. The Astronomical Parliament's members could also voluntarily reach out to the Astronomical Parliament to communicate with Wen Yu and Lin Yuan.

!

Although Lin Yuan would have to pay a higher price of willpowers when the members of the Astronomical Parliament wanted to communicate voluntarily, he still wanted Bei Xu to contact him if he was in trouble.

In the Astronomical Parliament, Lin Yuan was like a god and would go to the aid of any member.

Even if Yin Lin was not an Azure Envoy and Bu Po was not one of the Spirit Mother's reserve members, all of them had formed a contract with the Astronomical Parliament to save themselves in exchange for everything they had.

Although Lin Yuan called himself the system as a joke, he could not be as unfeeling as one.

Humans were all emotional creatures. Every member of the Astronomical Parliament was now linked to Lin Yuan.

Bei Xu was the first to join the Astronomical Parliament.

Lin Yuan was beside himself with worry over Bei Xu's safety.

At first, Lin Yuan had not expected to gain much.

Otherwise, he would not have chosen someone like Bei Xu, who came from nothing and seemed to be useless dead weight.

After every Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting, Lin Yuan would try to come up with ways to keep Bei Xu and Wo Lun alive.

Due to the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen, Lin Yuan had no lack of laws and willpowers. As long as he continuously gathered the Law Crystals and Law Crystal fragments from the corpses of Fantasy and Myth Breed feys, Lin Yuan would have a constant supply of laws and willpowers.

No one else would be able to freely use the Astronomical Parliament's ability Star Spirit Seat to help the members of the Astronomical Parliament.

Now that Bei Xu said that he might not be able to hold on, Lin Yuan felt his first burst of violent emotion while in the Astronomical Parliament.

This caused his voice to turn cold. The people who heard him instinctively thought that he was angry.

However, Wen Yu had been with Lin Yuan for a long time and knew him well. As such, she knew that what he was feeling was worry over Bei Xu.

Bei Xu hurriedly apologized to Lin Yuan and said, "I'm sorry, Leo. I…"

Before Bei Xu could finish speaking, Lin Yuan interrupted him.

Lin Yuan sensed Bei Xu's soul through the Astronomical Parliament and could feel that the vitality within his body was flowing in a strange direction.

If Bei Xu was injured, the blood loss would have been stable, and the vitality would be dissipating at a constant rate.

However, Bei Xu's vitality was fluctuating like a rollercoaster.

Lin Yuan immediately thought about the Sharp Shadow Bat that he had given Bei Xu.

The Sharp Shadow Bat could replenish its vitality by absorbing blood.

It was likely that the volatility of Bei Xu's vitality was linked to the Sharp Shadow Bat.

However, it would not be a difficult issue for Lin Yuan if it was just a matter of the loss of vitality.

"What exactly is happening on your side?"

Bei Xu hastily described his circumstance, "Leo, I wanted to contact you, but something happened. I realized that I couldn't hold on and was about to contact the Astronomical Parliament when this meeting started."

Bei Xu wanted to explain himself first.

The figures seated on the golden throne had become the most important people to him. Since he could die at any time, he did not want to be misunderstood by the most important people in his life.

Bei Xu went on to say, "I met a group when I was exploring the underground world. All the people in the group had turned into monsters. However, none of the experts from the group could defeat me, and I conquered them.

"Right after I took over the group, the underground river flooded. All of my subordinates, including the people from the group, started building dams to prevent the river from destroying the structures the group had built.

"However, someone still ended up falling into the water. I jumped into the water to save him and was bitten by a strange lifeform with a red fishtail. For some reason, I managed to form a contract with this lifeform. It grew and increased its power by absorbing my vitality. The fey you gave me has been killing lifeforms continuously to replenish my vitality. Otherwise, the half-human lifeform with a red fishtail and algae-like hair would have killed me within ten minutes."

Lin Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and a look of disbelief spread across his face.

He nodded at Wen Yu and used his willpowers to apply the Mountain Jade Imprint on all six members of the Astronomical Parliament.

The other five did not feel much as a green lotus flower imprint appeared below their clavicle.

However, Bei Xu could feel the vitality in his body rapidly being replenished. As the strange lifeform with a red fishtail continued to drain his vitality, the green imprint would recover the vitality he had lost, so the amount of vitality in his body remained at peak level.

Lin Yuan's method went beyond Bei Xu's comprehension.

Bei Xu had been certain that he did not have long left to live.

But with a wave of Lin Yuan's hand, he brought Bei Xu light at the end of his previously pitch-dark tunnel.

Bei Xu could sense that the half-human lifeform he had formed a contract with felt very affectionate toward him.

It continuously increased its power by absorbing his vitality.

At this moment, Lin Yuan said, "I didn't expect you to receive such an opportunity!"

1833 The Deliberately-Caused Sea Hazard!

When Lin Yuan was learning about mermaids and major sea demons, he read through many secret tomes.

According to the historical records, there were only three kinds of lifeforms in the world of human-shaped lifeforms with fishtails.

One of them was deep-sea mermaids. Lin Yuan already knew that they came from the water world and had accidentally arrived in the main world and managed to breed.

The second group was the sea demons that came from the Lantis Mystic Realm, and the Azure Federation regarded them as strategic-class resources.

The deep-sea mermaids were already considered legends. Yet, the third group of lifeforms was even rarer than deep-sea mermaids.

This type of lifeform was not born with human form. Rather, they had to continuously absorb vitality from humans in order to transform themselves into human form.

If they did not start out by absorbing human genes, they would become monsters with the tail of a fish and the body of a beast.

They were called the Blood Parasite Witch Fish.

According to the records of the Blood Parasite Witch Fish, it was the only fey that could initiate a contract with another lifeform before it reached Gold grade. Alll 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n/.c𝒐m

The Blood Parasite Witch Fish would continuously absorb the vitality of its contractor to deepen their bond until it eventually became its contractor's lover.

Before the contractor died, the Blood Parasite Witch Fish would do everything it could to protect its contractor with utmost loyalty.

However, regardless of whether the Blood Parasite Witch Fish formed a contract with a human or fey, it would rapidly suck its contractor dry of their vitality. As such, they would not have time to enjoy the protection of the Blood Parasite Witch Fish.

Since the Blood Parasite Witch Fish that Bei Xu had formed a contract with already had human form during their first encounter, it meant that it had already sucked a human dry of vitality before in the past.

Given the clear definition of its human form, it had already sucked numerous humans dry of vitality.

The Blood Parasite Witch Fish was skilled at controlling water.

Normally, the underground rivers were very calm. It was likely that the Blood Parasite Witch Fish caused the flood to try and trap the group of men situated on the shore of the river.

Given the disorganized culture of the underground world, it was likely that any expert that did know of the Blood Parasite Witch Fish would not be aware of how dangerous it was. It was probable that many of them wanted to form contracts with the Blood Parasite Witch Fish!

The spirit qi professionals in the subterranean world who possessed feys all held significant authority.

Since the Blood Parasite Witch Fish initiated the contract with the spirit qi professional, its power was not restricted by the spirit qi professional's rank.

With the Mountain Jade Imprint continuously replenishing Bei Xu's vitality, Bei Xu could continue providing vitality to the Blood Parasite Witch Fish.

The Blood Parasite Witch Fish's power would soon exceed that of the Sharp Shadow Bat.

According to the historical records, the Blood Parasite Witch Fish did not need its contractor to provide it with a Willpower Rune.

After absorbing a certain amount of vitality from its contractor, the Blood Parasite Witch Fish would issue its own Willpower Rune that was linked to blood and evolve to Fantasy Breed.

As long as its contractor had enough vitality, the Blood Parasite Witch Fish would have nothing standing in its way.

Only two of the Blood Parasite Witch Fish were recorded in history, and the Freedom Federation had captured both.

One of them had not been able to withstand the experiments and died, while the other was eventually contracted by a member of the Freedom Federation's royalty.

This member of royalty was the Goddess of Mercy.

The Blood Parasite Witch Fish's bloodline was unrelated to the mermaid bloodline. Hence, the Goddess of Mercy must have contracted the Blood Parasite Witch Fish because it was powerful.

An expert had almost endless options when it came to feys they could contract. Every contract had to be made with deep and careful contemplation.

It was miraculous that Bei Xu had contracted the same fey as the Goddess of Mercy had.

Moreover, with the Blood Parasite Witch Fish, Lin Yuan would not have to worry about providing Bei Xu with a secret weapon.

The more human vitality the Blood Parasite Witch Fish absorbed, the more human its appearance would become.

It only looked ugly now because its power was only around Silver grade.

Once the Blood Parasite Witch Fish evolved to Diamond grade, the top half of its body would look no different from a human girl.

Bei Xu had not only been granted an opportunity but his future mate had been decided as well.

Lin Yuan looked at the other five members of the Astronomical Parliament. Since he knew what had happened in their lives, he thought, These five single men and women have all lost to Bei Xu in matters of the heart. Despite being so young, Bei Xu has already secured a wife.

Lin Yuan did not tell Bei Xu much about the Blood Parasite Witch Fish besides that he did not have to worry about vitality and that he needed to eat well to maintain his nutrition.

Although Bei Xu did not fully understand what Lin Yuan meant, he still nodded seriously and made sure to mentally note down what Lin Yuan had said.

His eyes were still fixed on Lin Yuan, but he no longer felt a shred of pessimism.

Rather, he was full of hope and motivation again. The person who had rescued him had come to his aid again.

As long as he worked hard, he would be able to meet with Leo one day.

Now that Bei Xu's problem was solved, the other members of the Astronomical Parliament looked visibly relieved.

All of them were here because they put everything they had on the line. As such, even if they did not interact much with each other, they saw each other as comrades.

Lin Yuan's attitude toward Bei Xu and the way he did everything he could to help the boy warmed the hearts of the remaining members of the Astronomical Parliament. They knew that Lin Yuan would do the same for them because they had already dedicated their loyalties to the Astronomical Parliament.

When one dedicated their loyalty, it would only be sincere if it was a two-way transaction.

Almost 20 minutes had passed since the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting began.

Lin Yuan looked at Wo Lun and asked, "Wo Lun, how are things going with you?"

Wo Lun reported his progress with a serious tone and told Lin Yuan about how he had become Duolun Harbor's consul.

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

He was aware of the Violent Wind Federation's situation and knew the benefits of being the consul of Duolun Harbor.

Now, Duolun Harbor was essentially Wo Lun's case camp.

However, what Wo Lun said next caused Lin Yuan's expression to turn austere.

The mutation of the Blue Ring Sea Octopus was considered trivial. It was just an opportunity that Wo Lun had received.

Since the Blue Ring Sea Octopus had already formed a contract with Wo Lun, no one could take it away from him.

...

But why had there been a Diamond II/pinnacle Fantasy I fey in the sea?

Wild feys could only comprehend Willpower Runes when they reached Diamond X/Legend.

If there was a Diamond II/Fantasy fey in the sea, it would have a master.

This meant that the sea hazard in Duolun Harbor's vicinity was the result of someone's deliberate action.

1834 Wo Lun and Bei Xu Take Flight!

Wo Lun was not a Creation Master and did not have enough experience to be aware of this fact.

Fantasy Breed feys were largely foreign to Class 2 Creation Masters from small regions.

Wen Yu had also noticed the anomaly and communicated with Lin Yuan through her spirit.

Lin Yuan felt that it was necessary for him to inform Wo Lun of this issue he had noticed.

It was likely that Duolun Harbor was on the precipice of a sinister plan that had been in the works for some time.

If Wo Lun had not become Duolun Harbor's consul, he could have just sailed away on his boat.

But now that he had become Duolun Harbor's consul, he could no longer disentangle himself from the impending crisis.

The enemy was hiding in the shadows while Wo Lun was out in the open.

If Wo Lun did not set up his defenses early, he might end up targeted by the enemy and defeated.

If the hidden enemy could send out a Diamond fey to cause sea hazards, it meant that they had to be at least king-class or stronger.

It was now necessary for Lin Yuan to raise Wo Lun's power. If Wo Lun died, all the resources he had already invested in Wo Lun would go to waste.

Thus, Lin Yuan asked, "Wo Lun, did anything strange happen during the time that the sea hazard plagued Duolun Harbor?"

Wo Lun looked surprised as he did not understand why Lin Yuan would ask such a question. But Wo Lun knew that Lin Yuan had to have his reason for asking.

Wo Lun lowered his head and carefully pondered.

He had lived his entire life on the perilous seas. Thus, in his perspective, Duolun Harbor was very calm and could be a shelter for sailors. The sea was where the dangers existed.

But now that he thought about it more carefully, Wo Lun remembered that there had been several assassination cases in Duolun Harbor in the last few years.

Duolun Harbor's previous consul had died by one such assassination. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for Wo Luun to become Duolun Harbor's consul.

While Wo Lun was thinking, Yin Lin said, "Leo is trying to say that wild feys are only able to comprehend Willpower Runes when they reach Diamond X/Legend. The Knife-Thrusting Man-Killing Crab that the Blue Ring Sea Octopus killed can't be a wild fey. It also can't be the case that the fey escaped its contractor's control after the spirit qi professional died because the death of a spirit qi professional would also result in the death of their feys."

Wo Lun had been trying to organize any and all strange occurrences that had taken place in Duolun Harbor.

When he heard what Wen Yu said, all the hair on his body stood up, and he immediately felt as though he had a laser sight aimed at him.

This meant that there had to be more to the death of Duolun Harbor's previous consul than met the eye.

A few unfamiliar faces had appeared in Duolun Harbor. These people had ivory skin that contrasted sharply with the rough textured skin of the sailors.

These people seemed to have appeared after the Knife-Thrusting Man-Killing Crab died.

There were rumors that these people had been trying to seek information and were willing to pay handsomely. It was clear that they were investigating something.

Wo Lun might end up targeted like the previous consul of Duolun Harbor.

The Knife-Thrusting Man-Killing Crab's contractor was already aware that the Blue Ring Sea Octopus had killed the Knife-Thrusting Man-Killing Crab. He would have learned about the Blue Ring Sea Octopus' power through this.

Lin Yuan was the one who had given the Blue Ring Sea Octopus to Wo Lun. Lin Yuan was also the one who had provided the spirit fluid that evolved the Blue Ring Sea Octopus.

Wo Lun could only rely on two figures sitting on the two golden thrones in the Astronomical Parliament.

As Lin Yuan looked at Wo Lun's pleading eyes, he knew that Wo Lun must have realized something.

There was no point in Lin Yuan knowing about Duolun Harbor's circumstances.

Wo Lun would only be able to survive if he became stronger.

Lin Yuan said, "You are an A-rank spirit qi professional. You should only be limited to contracting feys up to Diamond X/Fantasy V. However, A-rank spirit qi professionals can use a special method to roll grade in order to contract a Diamond X/pinnacle Myth II fey. If you don't know who the hidden enemy is, there is no way I can know.

"As such, I can only increase your power to the maximum to optimize your chances of surviving whatever the secret enemy has planned. You might even be able to gain a new opportunity in Duolun Harbor!"

Lin Yuan instructed Wen Yu to use Star Spirit Seat to transport the Starlight Intelligent Dark Clouds pollen, four Law Crystals with pure law power, eight bottles of spirit fluid that could increase the Blue Ring Sea Octopus' power, and a portion of pure water-elemental energy that had been produced by the Element Well to Wo Lun.

Lin Yuan gave Wo Lun some of the Element Well's water despite not having much of it because he realized that the Blue Ring Sea Octopus was extraordinary when he evolved it to Bronze X/Legend.

It was very rare for feys to awaken their bloodline at Bronze grade.

If Lin Yuan was not incompatible with the Blue Ring Sea Octopus, he would have wanted to form a contract with it himself.

Thus, Lin Yuan decided to transform the Blue Ring Sea Octopus before it reached Myth Breed. This transformation would apply to Wo Lun as well.

Pure water-elemental energy was the best supplement to trigger a water-type fey's bloodline. 𝑅read latest ch𝒂pters at n/𝒐v(e)lbi𝒏.co/m

As for usage and sequence, the time in the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting was precious. Lin Yuan did not have to inform Wo Lun of these as Wen Yu would be distributing the Thoughts Letter Paper. Lin Yuan would be able to communicate all relevant information about the resources to Wo Lun through the Thoughts Letter Paper.

He could also learn about the Blue Ring Sea Octopus' subsequent transformation through the Thoughts Letter Paper.

At first, Wo Lun had been nervous. But when he heard what Lin Yuan said, he immediately calmed down as excitement and happiness filled his eyes.

Although Wo Lun did not know much about Fantasy Breed feys, he had heard of Myth Breed feys.

Myth Breed feys were considered legends in Duolun Harbor.

Wo Lun had never seen a Myth Breed fey for himself.

If he had encountered a Myth Breed fey at sea, he would not have survived long enough to become a member of the Astronomical Parliament.

Duolun Harbor was a small harbor on Lattice Plum Island.

There were three harbors on Lattice Plum Island.

The owner of Lattice Plum Island was famous throughout the island because he possessed Myth Breed feys.

When Wo Lun first heard of Myth Breed feys, he had been certain that he would never be able to obtain one. But now, he had the chance to have one of his own.

Wo Lun bowed deeply to Lin Yuan before sincerely kowtowing to Lin Yuan and Wen Yu.

Su Yiren was currently lamenting to herself.

Bei Xu and Wo Lun were regular people, but they took flight with Lin Yuan's help.

1835 Wen Yu's Assessment, Yin Lin's Sadness!

Su Yiren did not know what the lifeform with a red fishtail that had initiated a contract with Bei Xu was.

But since she had joined the Astronomical Parliament early, she knew that Wo Lun was an A-rank spirit qi professional who used to only possess the Gold Tied Armor Sea Fern.

He had been considered a poor and almost destitute spirit qi professional.

But ever since he joined the Astronomical Parliament and became acquainted with Lin Yuan, he could now stand toe to toe against any other A-rank spirit qi professional in the world.

!

Only the disciples of wealthy families in federations with Class 5 Creation Masters could contract Suzerain/pinnacle Myth II feys when they were A-rank spirit qi professionals.

If not for the fact that Wo Lun was at the advanced age of almost 40 years old, he would be comparable with the disciples of royalty when it came to his fey deployment. DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()

All of this had been given to him by Lin Yuan.

Su Yiren only became increasingly shocked by Lin Yuan's wealth of resources.

Not long ago, Lin Yuan had sent a batch of resources to the Divine Wood Federation. A spirit qi professional wearing a silver mask and blue robes had come with it.

Su Yiren had been friendly and greeted the spirit qi professional. However, the silver mask-wearing spirit qi professional ignored her.

This had left Su Yiren feeling awkward.

Su Yiren did not try to engage the spirit qi professional again.

She went ahead and carried out Lin Yuan's instruction of preparing a breeding room for this spirit qi professional.

When she sent the spiritual ingredients into the breeding room, Su Yiren realized that this spirit qi professional was a Class 5 Creation Master.

This realization almost caused Su Yiren's legs to turn weak.

Lin Yuan could dispatch a Class 5 Creation Master! He had as many foundational resources as the Seven States of Darkness.

Hope reignited within Su Yiren when she realized the number of foundational resources and power that Lin Yuan possessed. She also became even more determined to work hard to help Lin Yuan manage his faction in the Divine Wood Federation.

Su Yiren knew that she would have to represent sufficient value for Lin Yuan to keep her by his side. This was the only way that she would have the grounds to negotiate with him.

Just as the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting was about to end, Wen Yu, who rarely spoke during the parliamentary meetings, said to all the people seated on the north-south constellation seats, "I will be giving each of you a golden letter paper. You will be able to form words and communicate through it by using your mind power. You will not only be able to use it to communicate with Leo and me but between yourselves as well.

"Given the amount of mind power a person has in a day, you should be able to form more than 2,000 words on the Thoughts Letter Paper each day. After sleeping, your mind power will be replenished."

Wen Yu handed out the Thoughts Letter Papers to the group.

The members of the Astronomical Parliament would only be able to receive the transported items once they exited the Astronomical Parliament because the Astronomical Parliament was just a space constructed out of willpowers, laws, and souls.

Wen Yu used the laws that Lin Yuan had prepared in advance to utilize Star Spirit Seat to distribute the Thoughts Letter Paper.

Lin Yuan looked at Wen Yu silently because he could sense that she had not distributed the Thoughts Letter Paper to Yin Lin.

Before the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting began, Wen Yu had asked Lin Yuan for his opinion.

There was no way that Wen Yu would go against Lin Yuan's instruction. It was likely that she had a special reason for her action.

Excitement spread across the faces of Bei Xu, Bu Po, Wo Lun, Ta Lei, Su Yiren, and Yin Lin when they heard what Wo Lun said.

If what Wen Yu said was true that all of them could communicate 2,000 words to each other using the paper, it meant that the members of the Astronomical Parliament would be able to chat freely in reality.

The papers would pull the members of the Astronomical Parliament closer together. Now, they were linked not only to Lin Yuan and Wen Yu but also to each other. This would undoubtedly make the Astronomical Parliament even more secure.

After the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting ended, all of them instinctively searched for the golden letter papers that Wen Yu had mentioned.

Ta Lei, Su Yiren, Bu Po, Bei Xu, and Wo Lun all received the golden letter paper and immediately started communicating with each other.

However, Yin Lin's table was empty.

Her smile disappeared, and she looked slightly hurt.

Yin Lin was smart. She expected that she had not received the golden letter paper that Libra had mentioned because she was the fourth Azure Envoy.

She could not help but be saddened by this.

Although she knew that Lin Yuan would be taking Libra to see her soon, Yin Lin could not fend off her disappointment.

Libra and Lin Yuan were a set. Moreover, Libra held Lin Yuan's opinion in the highest regard.

It was clear that Lin Yuan was the true chief of the Astronomical Parliament.

Yin Lin wondered if Libra was wary of her because Lin Yuan did not trust her.

Yin Lin had absolutely no walls set up against Lin Yuan. Rather, all she wanted to do was help him.

Otherwise, there was no way that the Azure Envoy Yin Lin would have publicly sided with the Radiance Federation in a confrontation between the Radiance Federation and the Freedom Federation.

The longer Yin Lin thought about it, the sadder she became, and the lower her head hung.

Her gaze darkened.

After they left the Astronomical Parliament, Lin Yuan looked at Wen Yu.

When he saw how pale her face was, he knew that she had used Star Spirit Seat too many times.

As such, Lin Yuan took out more of the roasted rainbow-colored fish coats.

After Wen Yu received the fish coats, she anticipated Lin Yuan's question and took out a piece of the Thoughts Letter Paper. She waved it in front of Lin Yuan and said, "Young Master, since we're going to meet with Yin Lin soon anyway, I thought that it would be better for us to just hand the Thoughts Letter Paper to her directly."

As Lin Yuan looked at Wen Yu's smiling face, he knew what Wen Yu's intention was.

Wen Yu wanted to assess Yin Lin.

She wanted to deliver the Thoughts Letter Paper to Yin Lin directly to build rapport with her because she wanted to establish a collaboration with Yin Lin.

Wen Yu had expressed her desire for the Azure Federation's resources more than once.

Every federation in the main world had its own unique feys and resources.

Only six of the Radiance Federation's cities had access to the sea. Thus, it was not rich in sea resources.

They did not even have 1/5 of the Azure Federation's sea feys.

...

Thus, it would be extremely beneficial for Sky City to collaborate with Yin Lin.

Wen Yu also knew that the only way Yin Lin could obtain more authority in the Azure Federation would be to receive help from Sky City.

1836 Mutual Win Collaboration!

Lin Yuan handed his amber-button-shaped Diamond fey storage box to Wen Yu.

Wen Yu had been the one who had custom-made this fey storage box for Lin Yuan after he obtained the Source Sand.

Lin Yuan had been using the amber-button-shaped Diamond fey storage box for more than six months.

But now, he had the ring that the Moon Empress had given him and no longer had much use for the amber-button-shaped Diamond fey storage box.

As such, Lin Yuan decided to give the fey storage box to Wen Yu.

He had already placed many resources inside the Diamond fey storage box.

He did this because Wen Yu needed to dispatch resources as part of her job of managing Sky City. Previously, Wen Yu always had to inform him in advance when she needed to dispatch resources. Lin Yuan found this method to be inconvenient.

Moreover, Lin Yuan greatly trusted Wen Yu.

Ever since Wen Yu started managing Sky City, Lin Yuan rarely got involved in Sky City's management. Rather, he focused on increasing the Spirit Lock spatial zone's capacity to accumulate more resources for Sky City. He only invoked his authority in serious matters.

As such, it was necessary for Wen Yu to have a store of resources that she could draw on at any time.

When Sky City was first started, the only members were Lin Yuan, Wen Yu, and Liu Jie.

Besides being a representation of Lin Yuan's will, Sky City was split into three divisions. Lin Yuan was in charge of creating resources, Liu Jie was in charge of managing the white-clothes followers that were Sky City's martial force, and Wen Yu controlled Sky City's internal affairs.

If not for Liu Jie and Wen Yu's help, Lin Yuan would have been overwhelmed trying to keep Sky City afloat on his own.

Wen Yu looked confused when Lin Yuan handed the Diamond fey storage box to her.

But when she received the amber-button-shaped Diamond fey storage box and looked inside it, Wen Yu immediately realized what Lin Yuan's intention was.

"Young Master, leave the collaboration with Yin Lin to me! I will make sure it is a win-win collaboration! Out of the six members of the Astronomical Parliament, I think we should invest the most resources into Yin Lin.

"Since Yin Lin supported the Radiance Federation so publicly, she won't have an easy time when she returns to the Azure Federation. So, she needs to grow quickly so she can maintain her current status and increase her authority and influence others' decisions," said Wen Yu.

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "While you're collaborating with Yin Lin, help me obtain more high- and top-grade strange water!"

Wen Yu replied, "No federation in the main world has as much strange water as the Azure Federation. With so many high-class Creation Master resources and Yin Lin's help, it will be easy to obtain high- and top-grade strange water from the Azure Federation,"

Lin Yuan mainly wanted to see Yin Lin because he wanted to thank her.

When it came to expressing his gratitude, Lin Yuan preferred to use his actions rather than words.

Lin Yuan did not know what Yin Lin's major sea demon was, but all major sea demons needed pure water-elemental energy.

Lin Yuan knew what circumstances Yin Lin had opened herself to when she returned to the Azure Federation by helping him.

Lin Yuan wanted to help Yin Lin purify her major sea demon's bloodline so she would have the power to keep any naysayers' mouths shut when she returned to the Azure Federation.

Lin Yuan was confident he would be able to do this because he had the Element Well.

The Element Well was a new secret weapon that Morbius had provided him with.

Besides being able to be summoned during battle, the Element Well's biggest ability was to help Lin Yuan and the people around him to evolve their feys.

Lin Yuan intended to help not just Yin Lin but also Zong Ze, Gu Lang, An He, and the rest before the Major Federation Meeting.

Lin Yuan did not intend to keep his visit to Yin Lin a secret. Instead, he would openly visit her as the Moon Empress' disciple.

As such, Lin Yuan rode in his fey carriage pulled by the Emperor Armored Martial God Insects and headed to the accommodations where the Azure Federation envoy group was staying.

When Lin Yuan arrived, Lan Xun hastily pulled Yin Lin out the door to greet him.

There was actually no need for Lan Xun to greet Lin Yuan by the door. Although Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress' disciple, he was still a junior.

But when Lan Xun saw Yin Lin and heard that Lin Yuan was coming, he immediately dashed out.

Lin Yuan and Yin Lin's previous meeting had been a secret, and not many people had caught sight of it.

But this time, it would do no good for Yin Lin, a girl still unspoken for, if word got out that Lin Yuan was visiting her.

They would only be able to avoid wagging tongues if Lan Xun came out with Yin Lin.

Lan Xun was beside himself, worrying for Yin Lin.

Although Yin Lin had not received the golden letter paper after the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting, she was still looking forward to seeing Lin Yuan.

However, she had been like a blank slate for the first half of her life. She still was not skilled at hiding her emotions when it came to the people and things she truly cared for.

Hence, from the moment Lin Yuan and Wen Yu stepped out of the fey carriage, they noticed Yin Lin's disappointment.

Wen Yu pressed her lips together to try to keep herself from laughing.

The last time that Wen Yu saw Yin Lin was on the Star Web broadcast.

Now that she was looking at Yin Lin in the real world, Wen Yu felt that Yin Lin was even more immature than she expected.

Lan Xun felt that it was not acceptable for Lin Yuan to do nothing after Yin Lin had helped him so significantly.

Thus, Lan Xun left the space for Yin Lin and Lin Yuan.

From the way Yin Lin looked at Lin Yuan, Lan Xun could clearly see how Yin Lin felt about Lin Yuan.

Hence, Lan Xun was worried that Yin Lin might be affected by Lin Yuan bringing a girl with him.

However, things did not play out as Lan Xun thought.

Firstly, Yin Lin knew that Wen Yu was Libra from the Astronomical Parliament.

Additionally, it was true that Yin Lin had special feelings for Lin Yuan. But what she felt was not love but reliance and veneration.

Love would lead to jealousy, but reliance and veneration would not.

After Lan Xun left, Wen Yu did not greet Yin Lin. Rather, she took out the Thoughts Letter Paper and handed it to Yin Lin.

When Yin Lin saw the Thoughts Letter Paper, her disappointed expression vanished.

Yin Lin looked ecstatic, like a rabbit that had just dug up a large carrot. 𝑅read latest ch𝒂pters at n/𝒐v(e)lbi𝒏.co/m

...

Lin Yuan and Wen Yu did not say much to Yin Lin. If they wanted to communicate in the future, they could just use the Thoughts Letter Paper.

1837 Sacred Evening Tide Healing Water!

Although Lan Xun had left the room for Lin Yuan, Wen Yu, and Yin Lin, he was definitely listening in.

Lin Yuan knew that the Moon Empress had used the pure spirit qi from the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies to trade for the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water.

The Moon Empress had also stipulated that only Yin Lin could use the pure spirit qi.

Lin Yuan asked, "Yin Lin, you should be in possession of the pure spirit qi, right?"

Yin Lin thought that Lin Yuan needed the pure spirit qi.

Pure spirit qi was extremely important to every spirit qi professional. They could never get enough of it.

When Yin Lin handed the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies to Lin Yuan without hesitation, Lin Yuan could not help but be touched.

"Yin Lin, you have contracted a major sea demon, right? Is it possible for me to take a look at it?" said Lin Yuan.

Although Lan Xun had left the room, he was still keeping tabs on everything Lin Yuan did in the room. DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()

This was out of concern for Yin Lin's safety and because Yin Lin was young and Lan Xun was afraid that Lin Yuan would say something inappropriate to her.

When Yin Lin held out the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies to Lin Yuan, Lan Xun almost choked.

He became increasingly confused. How did Lin Yuan and Yin Lin get on such close terms, to the point that she was even willing to hand over the pure spirit qi that would be pivotal for her growth?

But even if Yin Lin was willing to give it away, that did not mean that Lan Xun would allow Lin Yuan to leave with it.

These Spirit-Mouthed Peonies were the reason the Moon Empress was allowed to trade for the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water.

Major sea demons were vital to the Azure Federation.

Once Lan Xun returned, he would have to provide an explanation for his actions. The pure spirit qi in the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies would be the best explanation.

When Lin Yuan did not take the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies from Yin Lin, Lan Xun let out a breath of relief.

However, he did not expect Lin Yuan to ask to see Yin Lin's major sea demon.

Yin Lin's major sea demon was her and the entire Azure Federation's secret weapon. How could she show it to an outsider so casually?

Just as Lan Xun was about to stop her, Yin Lin had already summoned her major sea demon.

Lan Xun knew that Lin Yuan had achieved the champion of the Martial Arts Stage at the Guard Ye Banquet. It was likely that he would immediately understand it.

Lan Xun deeply regretted leaving the room.

If he were there, he was certain that Lin Yuan would never ask to see Yin Lin's major sea demon, regardless of how much Yin Lin trusted Lin Yuan.

At the same moment Yin Lin summoned her major sea demon, Lin Yuan felt like he was suddenly submerged in a comfortable hot spring. All of his exhaustion melted away as his body was replenished with vitality, spiritual power, soul power, and spiritual energy.

The major sea demon had not even used its ability yet.

Evidently, Yin Lin's major sea demon had unlocked an extremely powerful life water.

Yin Lin's major sea demon had a white fishtail, and its dark blue skin gleamed silver. A ball of sacred white water aerially circled the major sea demon.

Lin Yuan had learned from the Moon Empress that the sea demons with silver but unpatterned skin were close to evolving into king sea demons.

Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the major sea demon and saw that it was Gold X.

Yin Lin was fully capable of evolving the major sea demon to Diamond grade.

The only reason to explain why she had not done so was that she wanted to preserve its potential. She wanted it to evolve into the king sea demon while it was still Gold grade.

The major sea demons from the Lantis Mystic Realm and the devils from the Demon Church did not need their contractors to provide them with Willpower Runes. They also differed greatly from regular feys.

Yin Lin's major sea demon's life water was the Sacred Evening Tide Healing Water.

[Sacred Evening Tide Healing Water: It can be applied to items to replenish their spiritual energy, spiritual power, soul, and vitality. It can also remove all curses that the target is afflicted with.

Yin Lin's major sea demon allowed Lin Yuan to understand how important she was to the Azure Federation.

Her major sea demon was ranked fourth amongst all the major sea demons. It was the only one of the top five major sea demons that had healing and support effects.

By contracting the major sea demon, Yin Lin had become a healing- and support-type spirit qi professional.

This was the first time that Lin Yuan encountered a fey that could simultaneously replenish a target's spiritual energy, spiritual power, soul power, and vitality.

Major sea demons could be applied to precious instruments to increase their power.

If Yin Lin could obtain a precious instrument with healing effects, she would be like a high priest in battle that Lin Yuan had read about in the myths of his previous life.

Lin Yuan did not intend to withhold anything from Yin Lin.

Although he knew that Lan Xun was close by and listening in, Lin Yuan was not going to hide anything.

Just as the Moon Empress had said, Lin Yuan could cause as large of a spectacle as he wanted, and everyone would assume that the resources he produced came from her, the Class 6 Creation Master.

Lin Yuan shook his hand and took out a crystal bottle that contained azure fluid.

Lin Yuan said, "This bottle contains pure water-elemental energy. Why don't you combine it with the pure spirit qi from the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies to see if they can help to purify your major sea demon's bloodline?"

Ever since she obtained the pure spirit qi, Yin Lin could sense how much her major sea demon craved it.

She would have hesitated if anyone else told her to use it. But since the suggestion had come from Lin Yuan, Yin Lin did not think there was any need to hesitate because Lin Yuan would not harm her.

After Yin Lin tossed the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies to the major sea demon that had unlocked the Sacred Evening Tide Healing Water, it seemed to be afraid that Yin Lin would suddenly change her mind and instantly swallowed the two Spirit-Mouthed Peonies.

The pure spirit qi instantly exploded within the major sea demon.

Lin Yuan plucked out the crystal bottle's stopper and tossed it to the major sea demon.

1838 Lan Xun's Subjectivity

Major sea demons were very sensitive to water-elemental energy.

When the major sea demon sensed the purity of the water-elemental energy within the crystal bottle, it could not help but tremble.

It grabbed the bottle and gulped down all the pure water-elemental energy within.

Lan Xun, who had been trying his best to control himself, finally lost control and briskly walked into the room.

However, the major sea demon had already swallowed the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies, and there was nothing that Lan Xun could do about that.

At that moment, Lan Xun's heart ached badly.

It was not easy to evolve a sea demon's bloodline. Otherwise, there would not only be one emperor sea demon in the entire Azure Federation.

Ever since Yin Lin contracted this major sea demon, she had not stopped supplying it with water-elemental energy. Nonetheless, it still had not officially transformed into the king sea demon.

The pure water-elemental energy that had been supplied to the major sea demon was personally concocted by the leader of the Azure Cloud Leopard family.

Yin Lin's grandfather was a veteran Class 5 Creation Master. Thus, the pure spirit qi he concocted could not be compared to that of a new Class 5 Creation Master.

Moreover, that person from the Deep Blue Association, who greatly favored Yin Lin, had also given her a batch of water-elemental energy. 𝑅read latest ch𝒂pters at n/𝒐v(e)lbi𝒏.co/m

The Azure Federation had always been slightly stronger than the Radiance Federation and equal to the Freedom Federation.

But now, the Radiance Federation's Moon Empress had become a Class 6 Creation Master.

Lan Xun was shocked by the rate of the Moon Empress' growth rather than the fact that she was a Class 6 Creation Master because that person from the Azure Federation could have attained the title of Class 6 Creation Master long ago.

Lan Xun had intended to give the pure spirit qi from the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies to that person when he returned to the Azure Federation so that he would be able to use it to ascertain the Moon Empress' Creation Master level.

He also hoped to use it to help Yin Lin's major sea demon to transform into a king sea demon.

But now, all his hopes were dashed.

The Moon Empress had only offered the pure sea demon to trade for a better major sea demon for Lin Yuan. Otherwise, she would not have allowed the Azure Federation to take control of such precious resources.

It was only natural that Lan Xun assumed that Lin Yuan would not be able to produce water-elemental energy that was of the same quality as the pure spirit qi from the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies.

At this moment, Lan Xun was swimming in regret.

If he had not left the room, he would have been able to stop Yin Lin from tossing the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies to the major sea demon.

Yin Lin frowned when Lan Xun stormed into the room. However, she could not be bothered to ask Lan Xun to leave now because she noticed that her major sea demon had started to evolve rapidly.

It was evolving at a rate faster than she could imagine.

Whenever a fey evolved its bloodline, it was no different from being reborn.

A bloodline evolution was never comfortable, which also applied to Yin Lin's major sea demon.

The Sacred Evening Tide Healing Water started thrashing and turned into a giant white whirlpool.

The giant white whirlpool swallowed the major sea demon.

The major sea demon let out howls of agony within the whirlpool.

Lan Xun was stunned by what was happening in front of him.

Lan Xun's own major sea demon's bloodline had transformed into a king sea demon more than a decade ago. However, it had not improved since then.

Lan Xun found both the whirlpool of the life water and the sea demon's cries of pain to be very familiar because his own major sea demon had gone through the same experience when it transformed into a king sea demon.

Soon, silver light cracked through the whirlpool, and faint silver patterns appeared on the fishtail that occasionally peaked through the whirlpool.

Lan Xun could not help but gasp softly because he knew that Yin Lin's major sea demon had successfully evolved into a king sea demon when it was only Gold grade.

Lan Xun could already sense an intense king sea demon bloodline from Yin Lin's major sea demon.

Lan Xun looked at Lin Yuan with shock because he could not believe Lin Yuan was willing to give such precious resources to Yin Lin. At the same time, he was also shocked by the Moon Empress' Creation Master level.

According to the information that the Azure Federation possessed, the Moon Empress had been keeping a low profile for almost ten years.

A decade ago, the Moon Empress had crossed swords with one of the Freedom Federation's royalty and killed him while suffering serious wounds of her own.

But now, Lan Xun seriously suspected the information that came from the Azure Federation's intelligence department.

It was impossible for the Moon Empress to concoct such pure water-elemental energy if she had only just started walking down heaven's path, taken control of her birth horoscope, and become a Class 6 Creation Master.

Could it be that she had already started walking down heaven's path and unlocked her birth horoscope ten years ago?

Lan Xun nodded slightly when he thought of this.

There was shared acknowledgment in the main world that the Radiance Federation's members of royalty all withheld some of their power. No one knew exactly how many secret weapons the Radiance Federation's royalty had.

If the Moon Empress' well ran so deep, who knew what the Radiance Federation's other members of royalty were hiding?

The main world had started to destabilize.

When the day of the battle between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation came, the Azure Federation would have to make a choice.

If one wanted to work with the Freedom Federation, one would have to separately establish collaborations with each of the 16 members of royalty.

But with the Radiance Federation, the 13 members of royalty were one unit.

When faced with such options, the right choice would be obvious even to an idiot.

However, the Azure Federation had always been wary of the Mirror God and God of Fools from the Freedom Federation, who had not appeared for more than a decade. They were much better established than the Goddess of Mercy.

But now, the Moon Empress was rising up to meet that elderly man.

The more Lan Xun thought about it, the more he felt that it would be a better choice for the Azure Federation to ally itself with the Radiance Federation.

However, he quickly shook his head and thought.

Have I been influenced by Yin Lin? When did I start becoming subjective about such matters?

As an Azure Envoy, Yin Lin did not have a say in such matters. As part of the council of the Deep Blue Association, Lan Xun did not have the final say either.

...

The 12 aristocratic families of the Azure Federation would have to discuss with the Deep Blue Association to come to a decision.

Nonetheless, there was no question that the Azure Federation owed the Radiance Federation.

It was likely that the precious resources that Lin Yuan owned came from the Moon Empress.

By helping Yin Lin nurture her major sea demon into the king sea demon, the Moon Empress had given the Azure Federation an enormous gift.

This gift involved the Azure Federation's future.

As a thousand thoughts flew through Lan Xun's head, he immediately realized that something was off.

1839 One Step to Emperor Sea Demon!

After Yin Lin's major sea demon evolved into a king sea demon, the whirlpool of Sacred Evening Tide Healing Water should have dissipated.

However, the whirlpool persisted even after five minutes had passed. The screams also continued. It was as though the evolution had not ended yet.

Lin Yuan did not stop using True Data to check on Yin Lin's major sea demon.

He noticed that the major sea demons' transformation into king sea demons was similar to when dimensional lifeforms evolved into Apostles. Their life rank would transform completely.

!

The Sacred Evening Tide Healing Water had become at least three times stronger than it originally was.

The benefit that the king sea demon would bring to the precious instrument it combined with could not be compared to that of the major sea demon.

This was the first time Lin Yuan used the pure elemental energy from the Element Well. It rocketed past Lin Yuan's expectations.

The high purity of the elemental energy from the Element Well was what enabled Yin Lin's major sea demon to continue evolving even after it transformed into a king sea demon.

However, almost all the spirit qi from the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies had been used up. Even if there was still leftover pure water-elemental energy, the king sea demon's evolution would halt.

Lin Yuan ignored Lan Xun and tossed six more of the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies into the whirlpool to supply the king sea demon with more pure water-elemental energy.

The silver light from the whirlpool grew brighter until it spread throughout the entire whirlpool. FOlloow 𝒏ewest stories at n𝒐(v)

The whirlpool of the Sacred Evening Tide Healing Water dissipated at the instant that golden flecks appeared in the whirlpool.

Lin Yuan examined the king sea demon and noticed that it looked very different from when it had been a major sea demon.

When it was the major sea demon, it had dark blue skin, and its tail resembled that of a snake as it was more slender than a mermaid's tail. Its scales had not been attractive and seemed to have a wild and rough aura.

But now that it was the king sea demon, its skin was no longer dark blue but the same color as its life water. The tips of its scales were now covered in mesh that formed a skirt.

Its eyes were full of intelligence, indicating that it was now much smarter than it had been.

Its life water had been a current that circled around its body.

But now that it had transformed into the king sea demon, the Sacred Evening Tide Healing Water had transformed into a water sprite that the king sea demon could use in combat.

Lan Xun was stupefied because he noticed that Yin Lin's king sea demon had a light gold sheen on the silver patterns on its body.

Sea demons were also separated by the hierarchy of their bloodline.

Lan Xun could sense that Yin Lin's king sea demon had a more elite bloodline than his own king sea demon.

Yin Lin's king sea demon was on the cusp of becoming the emperor sea demon.

Lan Xun felt gratitude as well as deep terror toward the Moon Empress. He was certain that she was the one who had supplied both the pure spirit qi from the Spirit-Mouthed Peonies and the pure water-elemental energy.

If she was willing to produce more of such pure spirit qi and water-elemental energy to nurture Yin Lin's king sea demon, it would be able to evolve into the emperor sea demon very soon.

This meant that the Moon Empress was capable of nurturing emperor sea demons.

At that moment, Lan Xun felt unending relief that the Azure Federation had given Lin Yuan the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water.

The major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water was the most difficult major sea demon to nurture. The Moon Empress would have to supply 13 times more resources than other major sea demons.

Even then, there was no certainty that the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water would be able to reach the same grade and strength of bloodline that other major sea demons had.

Thus, it was going to be very difficult for Lin Yuan to evolve his major sea demon into an emperor sea demon.

If the Moon Empress had not traded the major sea demon and helped Lin Yuan to evolve the first major sea demon the Azure Federation offered into an emperor sea demon instead, the pressure from its bloodline would enable Lin Yuan to suppress the major sea demons of other experts from the Azure Federation in spite of its weaker abilities.

Although the Azure Federation and Radiance Federation have always been on good terms and the Moon Empress had just done the Radiance Federation a huge favor, Lan Xun did not want the Radiance Federation to take possession of a secret weapon that could suppress the Azure Federation.

Given that Yin Lin was the contractor of the major sea demon that had unlocked the Sacred Evening Tide Healing Water, no one was more aware of its growth than her.

She always relied on and worshiped Lin Yuan because he had brought light into her world and allowed her to experience colors. This was why she had been willing to help Lin Yuan during such a circumstance.

Every person hoped that their affection would be returned.

Lin Yuan's action was how he returned Yin Lin's affections.

His response solidified the position he already held in her heart.

She would never allow herself, her family, or her federation to ever become Lin Yuan's enemy. They would always be on his side.

Yin Lin would not have known how to carry this resolution out in the past.

But now, she had the Gold king sea demon that was only one step away from evolving into the emperor sea demon.

Her status and authority in the Azure Federation would change completely.

With more authority, she would have more say when it came to her family and the Deep Blue Association.

She had already set up a faction in the Azure Federation.

She was determined to accumulate as much power as possible before the battle between the Freedom Federation and Radiance Federation two years later.

Since Lan Xun was present, Yin Lin knew that she could not show too many uncontrolled emotions.

Lin Yuan had already been curious about why she was so close with Lin Yuan, and she did not want Lan Xun to find out the reason.

Although Lan Xun would not be able to find out about the secret of the Astronomical Parliament even if he tried to investigate the matter, she would not be able to escape from a barrage of questions when she returned to the Azure Federation.

Since Wen Yu had given her the golden paper, she could use it to communicate safely.

Yin Lin had been going back and forth internally for some time.

But now, she subconsciously already started placing Lin Yuan before anything else.

1840 Yin Lin and Lin Yuan's Cooperation

Nonetheless, Yin Lin did not forget about her role as an Azure Envoy.

She saw the collaboration between the Radiance Federation and Azure Federation as beneficial for the Azure Federation.

Lan Xun walked up to Lin Yuan and said with excitement, "I thank the Moon Empress for her gift to the Azure Federation! Once we return to the Azure Federation, the Azure Federation will send someone to deliver a generous gift to her!"

Lan Xun's words told Lin Yuan that Lan Xun assumed all the resources that Lin Yuan had produced had come from the Moon Empress.

Lin Yuan was not surprised that Lan Xun thought this, and he was happy to let this erroneous thinking continue.

Lin Yuan had already proved his power during the group battle against the Freedom Federation. It was unlikely that there was any other young expert in the Radiance Federation who could compete with him. Thus, Lin Yuan was going to set his sights on the older generation from now on.

He knew that he was still very weak when compared to the older generation.

Before Lan Xun spoke, he had already carefully thought through how he could establish a friendly bond with the Moon Empress.

Even if the Azure Federation kept a neutral stance, it needed to maintain a good relationship with the Moon Empress.

The Lantis Mystic Realm had many major sea demons, and it would be beneficial to nurture more of them into king sea demons with the Moon Empress' help.

The pure spirit qi and water-elemental energy that the Moon Empress had concocted had evolved the bloodline of the major sea demon into a pinnacle king sea demon. It was on the brink of evolving into the emperor sea demon.

If the same pure spirit qi and elemental energy had been given to the pinnacle king sea demon, it could have transformed it into the emperor sea demon.

The evolution of the king sea demon's bloodline into emperor sea demon had always been solely privy to the Azure Federation.

Both the major sea demon and king sea demons' greatest asset was their ability to be applied to precious instruments.

But once a sea demon evolved into an emperor sea demon, its life water would evolve into the independent sea.

At that time, the spirit qi professional would gain a territory they could control.

Lan Xun coughed and shot a look at Yin Lin before winking at her.

Yin Lin immediately understood that Lan Xun was interested in the resources that Lin Yuan had produced.

Yin Lin knew that Lin Yuan needed top-grade strange water.

Although top-grade strange water was not difficult to obtain in the Azure Federation, it was still a strategic-class resource.

Even Yin Lin had spent significant effort in order to obtain the three to four types that she had.

She might be able to obtain high- and top-grade strange water for Lin Yuan, but she would not be able to bring him a lot at a time.

But if Lin Yuan could establish a collaboration with the Azure Federation, he would be able to get as much high- and top-grade strange water as he wanted.

The Class 6 water world dimensional rift had already been open in the Azure Federation for 15 years.

In the past 15 years, the Deep Blue Association always kept at least 100 units of top-grade strange water in stock.

Yin Lin said to Lin Yuan, "Le— Lin Yuan, I'm sure you have a great need for high- and top-grade strange water now that you have a major sea demon! To thank you for helping me, I can provide you with high- and top-grade strange water. However, I will need resources in exchange."

Yin Lin had managed to stop herself before she called Lin Yuan by 'Leo', which was the name she was used to addressing him by.

She had been pondering an issue for some time.

She had managed to obtain a large number of various types of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls from Lin Yuan.

When she started managing her faction, the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls would definitely enable the faction to develop rapidly.

However, she would not be able to explain this to her family and the Deep Blue Association.

Her family might not question how she came to possess so many resources, but the Deep Blue Association would definitely pursue the matter.

It would be better for her to propose a collaboration with Lin Yuan in front of Lan Xun.

With the collaboration, no one would question her regardless of how many heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls she came to possess.

She was confident that Lin Yuan understood her intention.

Lin Yuan and Wen Yu shared a look when they heard what Yin Lin said. It was clear that both of them understood what Yin Lin was trying to do.

However, in order for Lin Yuan and Wen Yu to agree to work with Yin Lin, they needed a guarantee that she would be the one to use all of the resources that came from them.

Under no circumstances would Lin Yuan allow such precious Creation Master resources to be used by other factions. DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()

Since Lin Yuan was visiting Yin Lin as the Moon Empress' disciple, he represented the Moon Empress and Radiance Federation.

There were some things that were inappropriate for him to say, but Wen Yu did not have such obstacles because she was his assistant.

The words that Wen Yu said represented Lin Yuan's feelings as well.

"We only need one to two units of high- and top-grade strange water. Our Young Master wants them because he likes collecting such things. He has a fair number of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

"I'm sure you know that heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers are more valuable than top-grade strange water. If our Young Master is willing to trade with you, it will only be because of the friendship between the two of you. As such, only you can use the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls that you trade for with us."

Wen Yu spoke so brashly because Lan Xun was present, and there was no point in trying to put up a facade.

Frankly, it was difficult to compare the value of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers and top-grade strange water.

They could be priceless as long as a person needed them.

Wen Yu said that heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers were more valuable than top-grade strange water because there was a larger market for the former. It was a basic resource that every high-class spirit qi professional needed.

Meanwhile, only top-class experts who nurtured water-type feys needed top-grade strange water.

It was actually very disrespectful for Wen Yu to have said such a thing, but it did not displease Lan Xun.

Lan Xun was well aware of Yin Lin's life thus far.

As the only daughter of the Azure Cloud Leopard family, there was no link between Yin Lin and Lin Yuan.

Lan Xun was certain that the two of them only got along so well because of the attraction between opposite genders.

Thus, he did not question whether Yin Lin had other intentions, nor was he aware that Yin Lin and Lin Yuan were putting on a show together.

...

1841 Professionally Taking Advantage of His Master!

Both high- and top-grade strange water could be found in the water world.

Although the Azure Federation had explored the water world for more than a decade, they had not made much headway.

After all, even spirit qi professionals who had contracted aquatic feys could not stay underwater for long.

The water world was far richer in resources than the Azure Federation's 12 aristocratic families could imagine.

Something that could be found in the natural world could not be compared with something that Class 5 Creation Masters could only concoct.

Class 5 Creation Masters were the most important strategic resources to any federation. The amount of Class 5 Creation Master resources a federation possessed would determine how stable it was.

The Azure Federation had always gobbled down water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

The Azure Federation was surrounded by the sea and had established waterways with numerous federations that had Class 5 Creation Masters.

They needed the water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to nurture the Island Whales as well as major sea demons.

It would definitely be beneficial for the Azure Federation to be able to use high- and top-grade strange water to trade for heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers.

Lan Xun did not see any issue with the condition that only Yin Lin could use the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

Firstly, Lan Xun was Yin Lin's teacher and was naturally biased toward her.

Secondly, Yin Lin's Azure Cloud Leopard allowed her status as an Azure Envoy to be untouchable. Hence, the Azure Federation would still have to supply her with many resources annually. DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()

Otherwise, Yin Lin would not have been able to evolve her major sea demon to pinnacle major sea demon when it was only Gold grade.

With such a large-scale trade between two federations, neither side would be able to deceive the other.

If Yin Lin was the only one who was allowed to use the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, it meant that the traded high- and top-grade strange water would be used to nurture Yin Lin.

If Yin Lin became stronger, it would mean that the Azure Federation would become stronger.

Lan Xun agreed to the terms without hesitation.

Yin Lin's major sea demon was very close to evolving into an emperor sea demon.

Yin Lin was the apple of the eyes of those lords from the Deep Blue Association. As such, there was no question that Deep Blue Association's council would also agree to the terms.

But before the negotiations could begin, Lan Xun needed to ensure that the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were comparable to the high- and top-grade strange water.

Lin Yuan had intended to use Thoughts Letter Paper to ask Yin Lin to obtain high- and top-grade strange water for him.

Dark Blue already needed a large amount of strange water.

Now that he also had the major sea demon that had awakened the Purple Frigid Heavy Water, Lin Yuan would require even more high- and top-grade strange water.

But now, Yin Lin had moved the private trade to one between Lin Yuan and the Azure Federation.

Lin Yuan was very grateful to Yin Lin. He would no longer have to worry about lacking in high- and top-grade strange water in the future.

Without Yin Lin needing to ask him, Lin Yuan said after a moment of silence, "One unit of top-grade strange water and ten units of high-grade strange water will be worth 150 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers."

Although Lin Yuan always carried heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls around with him and did not have to scrimp on his usage of them, heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers were still resources that only Class 5 Creation Masters could produce.

Normally, 140 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls should be able to trade for ten units of high-grade strange water.

However, all the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were only going to be used by Yin Lin. Thus, Lin Yuan was willing to raise the price.

Lan Xun was delighted that Lin Yuan upped the price on his own.

When Yin Lin did not reply, Lan Xun almost urged her to say something.

At that moment, Yin Lin looked at Lan Xun as though she wanted his opinion.

This trade concerned Yin Lin's own benefits. Lan Xun was touched that she still wanted his opinion in such a situation.

Yin Lin was indeed his beloved disciple.

Lan Xun suppressed his overwhelming happiness and nodded at Yin Lin.

After Lan Xun's nod, Yin Lin said happily, "If that's the case, let's begin a long-term collaboration!"

Lan Xun hastily added, "I have four top-grade and 35 high-grade units of strange water on hand. Forget about the lacking five units of high-grade strange water first. Can I trade for 58 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers with you?"

Lin Yuan realized that Lan Xun was very detailed.

Top-grade strange water was much more valuable than high-grade strange water. There was no need to trade for heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with high-grade strange water.

Nonetheless, Lan Xun still discounted for the five units of strange water that he lacked.

However, Lin Yuan was not petty and wanted to leave a good impression on Lan Xun.

The water world dimensional rift also had a moon, and Lin Yuan could harvest it through Yin Lin.

But Lin Yuan would not do this.

There was only one Sacred Cry Moon Beast, and it was in the marsh world.

Once the moon from the water world dimensional rift disappeared, the Azure Federation experts in the water world would definitely notice.

If Yin Lin brought him into the water world, such an incident would only cause trouble for her.

Thus, Lin Yuan had to go with another method.

It would be a better choice for him to use the endless supply of resources from the Spirit Lock spatial zone to nurture Yin Lin into a beacon of hope for the Azure Federation. He would engineer it so that the Azure Federation was made continuously aware of Yin Lin's value.

Eventually, they would willingly hand over the moon from the water world dimensional rift.

This path would also lead to the Azure Federation and Radiance Federation becoming allies.

Lin Yuan smiled and said to Lan Xun, "There's no need for such inconvenience. We'll go with 60 water-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. You can make up for the five units of the high-grade strange water during the next trade. To express my sincerity, I promise that 20% of the 60 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls will be Over the Rail Coral."

Lin Yuan was magnanimous, but it left Lan Xun with a bad taste in his mouth.

Lin Yuan might be powerful, but he also did not hold back when it came to taking advantage of his master.

1842 Precious Instruments' Boost From King Sea Demons!

Lan Xun expected that even the Class 6 Creation Master Moon Empress would need at least a week to produce 600 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, 120 of which were even Over the Rail Coral.

Nonetheless, Lin Yuan sounded extremely robust when he said what he said. It was only something that could be said by a Class 6 Creation Master's disciple.

He wondered how the Moon Empress would feel if she knew that her disciple was giving away her labor so effortlessly.

Lin Yuan did not know what Lan Xun was thinking. If he did, he would think that Lan Xun had an overactive imagination.

It was true that Lin Yuan always had the Moon Empress' protection. However, he rarely took resources from her.

Once he became capable, he would reject the resources she offered him.

Lin Yuan was no wastrel and would never take his Master's labor for granted.

If Yin Lin was not a member of the Astronomical Parliament and one of his own, he would never trade with Lan Xun, no matter how much he lacked high- and top-grade strange water.

Lan Xun coughed and said, "If that's the case, I will go and prepare the high- and top-grade strange water. I will hand them over to you before you leave."

The reason Lan Xun said this was simple.

Lan Xun was completely unacquainted with Lin Yuan.

He took the initiative to propose the trade because he hoped that he would be able to obtain the 600 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls with outer layers as soon as possible.

The quality of Over the Rail Coral elemental pearls was completely different from other elemental pearls.

Since Lin Yuan had guaranteed that 20% of the pearls would be Over the Rail Coral, Lan Xun would make sure to check all of them.

Lin Yuan picked up the meaning behind Lan Xun's words.

He could casually produce the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls at any time to complete the trade, but he did not do so.

Instead, he said to Lan Xun, "Tonight, someone will deliver the promised 600 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to you."

Lan Xun set all his worries to rest and left the room to Yin Lin, Lin Yuan, and Wen Yu.

Lan Xun had been against Yin Lin and Lin Yuan interacting because it would not be beneficial for Yin Lin in any way. If news of their interaction got back to the Azure Federation, it could even blemish Yin Lin's image.

Now, the trade between Yin Lin and Lin Yuan provided the Azure Federation with a new path to obtaining profits. As such, Lan Xun was completely unbothered by Yin Lin and Lin Yuan's interaction.

Rather, Lan Xun hoped that Yin Lin and Lin Yuan would deepen their relationship to keep the collaboration going for as long as possible.

Lan Xun was in the Deep Blue Association's council, so it was natural for him to prioritize the Azure Federation. But at the same time, he was Yin Lin's teacher, and a part of him was selfishly biased toward her.

The Azure Federation was not as fractured as the Freedom Federation. However, the 12 aristocratic families were not completely united either. All of them pursued their individual profits with vigor.

The competition between the younger generation was extremely fierce.

With Yin Lin's two beast patterns, the Deep Blue Association had decided that she would become the fourth Azure Envoy. However, a few of the 12 aristocratic families had opposed this decision.

They felt that in spite of her two beast patterns, she only deserved to be part of the Azure Knights until she matured and grew stronger.

With Lin Yuan's resources, Yin Lin's growth would skyrocket, and all those who undermined her would have no choice but to keep their mouths shut.

With this thought, Lan Xun now looked at Lin Yuan with fondness.

After Lan Xun left, Lin Yuan, Wen Yu, and Yin Lin smiled at each other.

Yin Lin nodded at Wen Yu as the both of them finally officially became acquainted with each other.

"Yin Lin, let's keep in touch from now on," said Wen Yu.

Yin Lin replied with a smile, "Of course!"

Wen Yu wanted to keep in touch with Yin Lin because she wanted to obtain even more resources.

Although Yin Lin had always favored Lin Yuan, she still had a clear mind and knew what kind of person Lin Yuan was.

Wen Yu always kept half a body distance behind herself and Lin Yuan.

Although both of them sat on golden thrones in the Astronomical Parliament, Wen Yu still sought Lin Yuan's opinion on some matters.

Lin Yuan had just put on a show with Yin Lin.

When Yin Lin was trading resources with Wen Yu, he would need to use the Island Whales and travel along the Radiance Azure Waterway.

None of the Azure Federation's 12 aristocratic families would be able to stop the trade even if they wanted to.

There was no way that Lin Yuan would take advantage of Yin Lin.

Yin Lin would be obtaining numerous resources from the trades. She would not only use these resources to increase her own power but also to develop her faction.

She wanted to stamp Sky City's name on her faction as soon as possible.

When Yin Lin first summoned her major sea demon, it had been extremely wary of Lin Yuan.

But with Lin Yuan's help, it evolved into the king sea demon and was very close to evolving into the emperor sea demon.

The sea demons were governed by their bloodline.

With Lin Yuan's help, Yin Lin's sea demon had elevated its status among its species.

The major sea demon that had unlocked the Sacred Evening Tide Healing Water occasionally swept its life water onto Lin Yuan to heal him and alleviate her exhaustion.

When Yin Lin saw Lin Yuan looking at her major sea demon, she remembered the major sea demon the Moon Empress had traded from Lan Xun for Lin Yuan.

Yin Lin could not help but want to advise Lin Yuan that the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water was powerful, but it was a bottomless pit. It required an overwhelming number of resources to be nurtured.

However, Yin Lin could never say such a thing because Lan Xun was still paying attention to the goings on in the room.

At that moment, Lin Yuan said, "Yin Lin, how great of a benefit will your precious instrument receive if the major sea demon is applied to it now?"

Lin Yuan was going to obtain his own precious weapon soon. DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()

With the 8 Stars Diving Songstress' body as the main ingredient and supplemented by many precious spiritual ingredients, the Moon Empress would be able to produce at least a 7 Stars precious instrument. She might even be able to retain the Diving Songstress' Stars and create an 8 Stars precious instrument for Lin Yuan.

As such, Lin Yuan was very curious about how much a major sea demon could benefit a precious instrument.

...

Instead of using her words to answer Lin Yuan, Yin Lin summoned a green clam that resembled a clarion.

She said softly, "This is a 5 Stars precious instrument that I casually put together. It is called the Blue Tide Clarion. My major sea demon used to be able to boost it to almost the level of a 6 Stars precious instrument."

1843 Legend of the Emperor Sea Demon!

Yin Lin immediately ordered her major sea demon to fuse with the Blue Tide Clarion.

In an instant, the Sacred Evening Tide Healing Water that had turned into a water sprite separated the water currents.

The major sea demon's body turned illusionary and fused with its life water.

Now, there was a sea demon swimming around within the water sprite.

The sea demon within the water sprite let out a cry, and the sea demon and water sprite transformed into a sacred white gem.

The sacred white gem was embedded into the 5 Stars Blue Tide Clarion, and the Blue Tide Clarion's appearance started to change.

The surface of the Blue Tide Clarion turned into a sea. The sea demon's figure could be vaguely seen in the sea.

Without Yin Lin having to say anything, Lin Yuan could sense that the Blue Tide Clarion had surpassed the level of a 7 Stars precious instrument. In fact, it was considered an exceptional 7 Stars precious instrument.

Yin Lin was also taken aback by how much more powerful the major sea demon made the precious weapon.

After being dazed for a moment, Yin Lin said, "The more powerful the precious weapon, the less benefit it would receive from the major sea demon. Even if a pinnacle king sea demon is applied to an inferior 9 Stars precious weapon, it would not reach 10 Stars. Before my major sea demon evolves to Diamond grade, it should be able to evolve the Blue Tide Clarion to pinnacle 7 Stars. If its bloodline reaches emperor sea demon, it should be able to boost the Blue Sea Clarion to 8 Stars!"

Yin Lin spoke honestly and included a lot of information that allowed Lin Yuan to understand more about sea demons and how they boosted precious instruments.

Now, Lin Yuan looked forward to evolving the major sea demon with the Purple Frigid Heavy Water even more than ever.

At the same time, he became determined to evolve it into an emperor sea demon.

This would ensure that his precious instrument would still be able to reach 9 Stars even if it dropped Stars during the forging process.

He would not dare to hope for the precious instrument to reach 10 Stars. DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()

10 Stars precious instruments were even rarer than 10 Stars sacred source lifeforms.

Firstly, it was very easy for high-grade spiritual ingredients to drop Stars when they were forged into precious weapons.

Even a Class 6 Creation Master would need the body of a complete 11 Stars sacred source lifeform as well as more than 10 supplementary ingredients that came from 10 Stars sacred source lifeforms in order to create a 10 Stars precious weapon.

Moreover, the forging process had to go perfectly smoothly.

10 Stars precious instruments were considered legends. They were as valuable as 12 Stars sacred source lifeforms. None had ever appeared.

Thus, no one could be certain if 10 Stars precious weapons could trigger celestial phenomena like 10 Stars sacred source lifeforms could.

At that moment, Lan Xun spoke from the doorway.

Yin Lin did not hide anything from Lin Yuan and told him about the relationship between major sea demons and precious weapons.

Lan Xun saw this as reciprocation.

Since Lin Yuan already obtained the major sea demon, it was fine for him to know such things.

However, Lan Xun had not expected Yin Lin to mention the emperor sea demon.

The entire main world knew that the Azure Federation had the emperor sea demon because the Azure Federation had flagged it as their icon to deter other federations.

Lan Xun felt that Yin Lin had undermined the might of the emperor sea demon. Hence, he needed to correct her.

The boost that emperor sea demons provided precious weapons was far stronger than she made it out to be.

Moreover, emperor sea demons were not the limit of the major sea demons' bloodline.

If the emperor sea demon was applied to the Blue Tide Clarion, it would reach 8 Stars at least.

If the emperor sea demon was applied to a pinnacle 8 Stars precious instrument, it would just be able to reach 10 Stars.

Lan Xun took out one of the Azure Federation's specialty spatial equipment and gave it to Lin Yuan as he said, "This is the strange water for you. The four types of top-grade strange water are the Paralysis Water, Deep Ocean Frozen Water, Spirit Sharp Chaos Water, and Revival Blue Water.

"The Deep Ocean Frozen Water might be less outstanding, but the other three types of strange water all have their own abilities. The Deep Ocean Frozen Water will be extremely useful for your major sea demon. If you want to form a contract with that major sea demon, you can use the Deep Ocean Frozen Water to temper your body as well as give types of high-grade strange water with frozen attributes."

Lan Xun paused before he continued. "If you have seen the major sea demon that has unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water, you should have sensed how powerful it is. However, I have to warn you that it is extremely difficult to nurture. It needs an unimaginable amount of pure spirit qi and water-elemental energy."

Lan Xun did not continue speaking.

He expected that the Moon Empress would be the one nurturing Lin Yuan's major sea demon.

The Moon Empress could easily tell how difficult it would be to nurture the major sea demon.

He had told the Moon Empress the same thing about the major sea demon when she traded for it, and now he had also told Lin Yuan. This meant he had done all he was obliged to do.

Lin Yuan was extremely excited when he received the spatial equipment from Lan Xun.

Besides the Deep Ocean Frozen Water that he needed to temper his body so he could form a contract with the major sea demon, he could give the other three top-grade strange water to Dark Blue.

Dark Blue would be able to use the strange water to unlock three types of willpower and speed up its growth.

Lin Yuan stayed for a while longer before he and Wen Yu left.

In the past, Yin Lin would be reluctant to see Lin Yuan leave.

But now, she had the golden letter paper, and the distance between her and Lin Yuan had been cut short. She would be able to communicate with Lin Yuan anytime she wanted.

After Lin Yuan and Wen Yu left the accommodation where the Azure Federation envoy group was staying, they went to the Radiant Moon Palace.

Lin Yuan had just left the Radiant Moon Palace yesterday, and the Moon Empress was still attending the imperial meeting.

He only went to the Radiant Moon Palace to make Lan Xun think that all his resources came from the Radiant Moon Palace.

After staying in the Radiant Moon Palace for a while, Lin Yuan returned to the Return from Faraway Mansion.

At that moment, Lin Yuan could barely contain his excitement. He had four important things to do.

Firstly, he had to go and see what changes had taken place to the Spirit Lock spatial zone after Morbius fused with the green gem.

Next, he would have to use the Beast Spirit's Soul and Soul-Bewildering Daisy to turn the Disaster World Faceless Beast into his fey.

He also needed to form a contract with the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

Lastly, he had to form a contract with the major sea demon that had unlocked the Purple Frigid Heavy Water.

1844 The Tree in the Pure Land of Bliss!

Once Lin Yuan returned to the Return from Faraway Mansion, he noticed that all the Heavenly Family Feys were gone except for White Phoenix.

White Phoenix was combing his hair while looking into the mirror.

During the time that he was in the Return from Faraway Mansion, he had become very good friends with Lu Pinru.

Lu Pinru had designed trendy clothes that were right to White Phoenix's taste.

!

After White Phoenix wore the clothes that Lu Pinru made and strutted in the streets, Blue Lotus and Blood New Moon eventually became unwilling to go out shopping with him.

As he looked at White Phoenix's clothes, Lin Yuan thought, Isn't that female attire? It is even more outlandish than when Endless Summer dressed itself up as a Christmas tree!

When White Phoenix saw Lin Yuan, he tossed a bag to Lin Yuan and said, "These are the feathers that I accumulated all these years. You probably gave all the feathers I gave you last time to Night Leaning Moon. I will give you these feathers as well. You can do whatever you want with them!"

In White Phoenix's previous conversations with Lin Yuan, he would constantly thank Lin Yuan. But now, he no longer thanked Lin Yuan.

White Phoenix never expected that Lin Yuan would truly be able to revive Jade Sundial. He thought that Lin Yuan had just given Blood New Moon hope.

But, Lin Yuan did manage to do it.

Now that Lin Yuan had revived Jade Sundial, the Heavenly Family Cottage no longer just owed him a favor.

White Phoenix now saw Lin Yuan as a comrade and a part of the Heavenly Family Cottage. This was why he proposed a collaboration between the Heavenly Family Cottage and the Radiance Federation.

White Phoenix was rational.

Purple Love had led Blood New Moon, Blue Lotus, and Blood Love to the imperial court.

White Phoenix was supposed to go as well, but he was perturbed that the two Pages of Tower Canon had not shown up yet.

He stayed back to protect Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan did not stand on ceremony with White Phoenix.

After the Heavenly Family Cottage and the Radiance Federation formed a collaboration, White Phoenix became an ally of the Radiance Federation.

Since White Phoenix had given something so precious to him, he would do the same.

Lin Yuan had been nurturing the Dark Crystal Armored Insect for Qin Lun and Qin Yu.

Both of them had already used up many of the Dark Crystal Armored Insect's shells.

Lin Yuan had more than 100 of the Dark Crystal Armored Insect's shells stored in a brocade box.

In the past, Lin Yuan would not have given so many insect shells to White Phoenix because he needed to nurture the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

But now, the Moon Empress had given him more Dark Crystal Armored Insects.

Once the Dark Crystal Armored Insects were stored in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, they shed their shells quickly. They shed one shell daily.

The insect shells from the Dark Crystal Armored Insect contained much more elemental energy than elemental pearls and were sufficient for Lin Yuan to evolve the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

Lin Yuan handed the brocade box that contained the Dark Crystal Armored Insect shells to White Phoenix as he said, "Since you're giving me another gift, I will give you this."

Lin Yuan used the moonlight brocade for the brocade box that contained the Dark Crystal Armored Insect shells.

The moonlight brocade was made out of the Moon Reflection Spider Threads. This was produced by the Moon Reflection Crafty Spider, which was nurtured by the Moon Empress.

Thus, the moonlight brocade could only be found in the Radiant Moon Palace.

White Phoenix could not sense anything past the moonlight brocade, but he assumed that it contained some type of small trinket.

After receiving the brocade box, White Phoenix went back to combing his hair.

Lin Yuan headed to Liu Jie's room.

After knocking on Liu Jie's door, he handed the bag of feathers that White Phoenix had given him to Liu Jie and said, "Big Brother Liu, take these feathers with you when you go to the Spirit Guards' land and give them to Auntie Night!"

Liu Jie replied with a smile, "Lin Yuan, I was just about to head to the Spirit Guards' land. Master said that many of the 200 insect-species carcinoma feys that came from the Goddess of Mercy are suitable for me. They will make my combat system even more complete."

Ever since the Insect Queen was strengthened by the blessing from the Emperor Core of All Insects, Liu Jie could see the road ahead of him.

Regardless, everything would still be for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment before he said, "Big Brother Liu, besides using one of the 12 Firefly Demon Fetuses on the Blade Queen Bee, carefully consider which other insect-species carcinoma feys you use them on.

"Insect-species carcinoma feys are scattered everywhere on the earth. We should gather more of them before you finally decide which of them to fuse with the Firefly Demon Fetuses. This will ensure your power increases to the greatest extent. Alll 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n/.c𝒐m

"Also, the Insect Queen can form a contract with the Cocoon of Evolution. There will be more sacred source items in the future that the Insect Queen can form contracts with!"

Liu Jie nodded seriously. He knew that everything Lin Yuan said was in his best interest.

Liu Jie was very careful when it came to the Firefly Demon Fetuses.

This was the same approach he had when the Insect Queen started consuming insect-species carcinoma feys and gaining their abilities. Since he was going to become a disaster, he would have to be comprehensive.

Liu Jie packed his things and went downstairs. This was when he saw White Phoenix staring dazedly into the brocade box while sitting on the sofa.

After Liu Jie greeted White Phoenix, the latter only nodded distractedly.

The insect shells inside the brocade box were treasures to every dark-type fey, and White Phoenix was no exception.

White Phoenix was stunned for a moment before his hand started trembling slightly.

He controlled the night and was extremely talented.

However, his exceptional talent was also a trap. It caused his growth to be slower than the other Heavenly Family Feys.

But there had been nothing that White Phoenix could do about it.

Now, White Phoenix saw a chance to soar up to the heavens.

It was clear that the resources in the box were the product of a human Creation Master.

White Phoenix seemed to understand why the Sacred Cry Moon Beast had decided to follow the Moon Empress.

He slowly closed the brocade box.

...

White Phoenix already felt indebted to Lin Yuan for saving Jade Sundial.

If Lin Yuan helped him to start walking down heaven's path, White Phoenix would be willing to follow Lin Yuan like how the Sacred Cry Moon Beast was following the Moon Empress.

Lin Yuan had no idea that the Dark Crystal Armored Insect's shells were about to create a new pinnacle expert.

At that time, Lin Yuan had already entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

He instantly noticed the changes.

Since Morbius' grade had not evolved, the Spirit Lock spatial zone remained the same size. However, there was now an ancient emerald tree growing out of the Pure Land of Bliss.

1845 Hug the Floating Island Whale!

The Spirit Lock spatial zone was a flat space without any height.

Although the ancient emerald tree's trunk was slender, Lin Yuan guessed that the emerald tree was at least 600 meters tall.

There were several new leaves growing on the branches that still appeared weak.

However, the tree was being nurtured by the pure spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone and was slowly growing.

!

Lin Yuan heard Morbius' voice in his ear, "Partner, this tree growing on the Pure Land of Bliss is the product of the Endless Gem I absorbed. It is tightly linked to Klein Hub and is linked to the entire marsh world. This tree can evolve the marsh soil around the Pure Land of Bliss. It can significantly speed up the growth of plant-type feys in its immediate surroundings. As the tree grows, so will the size of the area it can affect. Currently, the area is less than 2,000 meters wide."

Lin Yuan now understood the emerald tree growing in the Pure Land of Bliss.

Since it could affect the ground in a 2,000-meter radius around it, the ground on it could not be used to cultivate on a large scale.

Even Morbius said that it could significantly speed up the growth of plant-type feys.

Morbius rarely used such extreme terms.

This meant that the ancient emerald tree had to be able to benefit plant-type feys to an astonishing extent.

In order to make the best use of it, Lin Yuan decided to plant the Soldier Ration Radish, Item-Storing Walnut Trees, and eventually, the Barren River Orchid Bud on this ground. This would ensure that Morbius' evolution from the Endless Gem did not go to waste.

The Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus used to be planted in the Pure Land of Bliss. But Lin Yuan had moved it to the Return from Faraway Mansion.

Now, the Pure Land of Bliss was empty.

As Morbius' grade increased, the Pure Land of Bliss and spirit pool also grew bigger.

With the appearance of the ancient emerald tree, Lin Yuan felt that the interior of the Spirit Lock spatial zone no longer looked as plain as it used to.

The Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls were growing right below the ancient emerald tree.

Brocade Zither was curiously circling the ancient emerald tree. Alll 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n/.c𝒐m

When it saw that Lin Yuan had walked over to the Pure Land of Bliss and Red Thorn as well as Silver Corona were not present, Brocade Zither flew over to Lin Yuan's shoulder and started expressing its affection for him.

If Red Thorn and Silver Corona were present, Brocade Zither would never dare to act this way despite how friendly they were to it.

As Lin Yuan continued studying the ancient emerald tree, Morbius said, "This tree can't be moved out of the Spirit Lock spatial zone, but it also uses a lot of spirit qi and has some special abilities. However, more investigation is needed to find out what these abilities are exactly."

Lin Yuan nodded when he heard what Morbius said. He also shared the sentiment that the ancient emerald tree was hiding a big secret.

If he could find more Endless Gems for Morbius in the future, would this tree continue to grow, or would a new tree appear?

Lin Yuan had no clue what the answer was. He would only know the answer once he obtained a new Endless Gem.

At that point, Lin Yuan was done checking on the Spirit Lock spatial zone's changes.

Lin Yuan had used his blood to nurture the Floating Island Whale, so it saw him as its father.

He had not entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone for some time and spent a lot less time with Universe.

Universe sadly spread its wings as though it wanted to hug Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan gently wrapped his arms around Universe to soothe it.

Universe had reached Gold grade. Once it evolved to Diamond X/Legend, it would be able to comprehend a Willpower Rune on its own to evolve to Fantasy Breed. It was likely that this would happen soon, in a matter of one or two months.

Thus, Lin Yuan would not be able to hug Universe in this form for much longer.

After soothing Universe, Lin Yuan took out the Beast Spirit's Soul that the Goddess of Mercy had given him.

Before he could use it on the child Disaster World Faceless Beast, Lin Yuan first needed to form a contract with the Beast Spirit's Soul and evolve it to Diamond X.

In order to form a contract with the Beast Spirit's Soul, a Willpower Rune linked to the soul was needed. Lin Yuan just happened to have this.

Lin Yuan directly formed a contract with the Beast Spirit's Soul.

Since the Beast Spirit's Soul was a soul-type source-type item, it did not need spirit qi to be evolved, but it needed soul power.

The easiest source of soul power was soul-type spiritual ingredients.

However, soul-type spiritual ingredients were rare, and there was no need to waste them just to evolve the Beast Spirit's Soul.

The Remembrance Soul Whale had collected numerous souls in the lava zone.

Rememberling absorbed souls very slowly, but it could store all the souls it had gathered.

It had not even absorbed 1% of the souls it had gathered yet.

Many of the souls that Rememberling had collected were from Myth Breed feys, so they contained a large amount of soul power.

If these souls were used to nurture the Beast Spirit's Soul, it would be able to evolve quickly.

Evolving soul-type feys have always been a big issue for Creation Masters.

Due to the rarity of soul-type spiritual ingredients, spirit fluids that could evolve soul-type feys were extremely costly.

With Rememberling as the medium, Lin Yuan would be able to obtain a large amount of pure soul power that other feys could absorb.

As the soul power evolved the Beast Spirit's Soul from Rememberling, it evolved to Diamond X in less than an hour.

The Beast Spirit's Soul was a special source-type item that did not have abilities or exclusive skills. It would take on the abilities and exclusive skills of the fey it invaded.

After nurturing the Beast Spirit's Soul, Lin Yuan let out the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast had been trapped in Lin Yuan's soul for more than a day.

This was more than enough time to sand down the Disaster World Faceless Beast's temper. It now felt extreme fear.

Once the child Disaster World Faceless Beast appeared, it tried to contact its mother.

However, the Spirit Lock spatial zone was a secret space that was separate from the outside world. Thus, there was no way for the child Disaster World Faceless Beast to get in touch with its mother.

1846 That Body is Yours!

Before summoning the child Disaster World Faceless Beast, Lin Yuan had instructed Shadow to release its aura and try to push out as much spirit qi from the space as possible.

When feys from the outside world first entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone and absorbed the pure spirit qi that was within the Spirit Lock spatial zone, their bloodlines usually started evolving. Alll 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n/.c𝒐m

Lin Yuan was afraid that after he summoned the Disaster World Faceless Beast, its bloodline would evolve after it absorbed the spirit qi from the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

If the Disaster World Faceless Beast's soul was strengthened as a result of the bloodline evolution, the Beast Spirit's Soul might not be able to take over the Disaster World Faceless Beast's soul.

Lin Yuan did not want this to happen. As such, he was prepared.

Once the child Disaster World Faceless Beast realized that it could not contact its mother, it decided to attack Lin Yuan.

Shadow had already entered the child Disaster World Faceless Beast's shadow and immobilized it.

Lin Yuan handed the Soul-Bewildering Daisy's pollen to Shadow and said, "Shadow, pour out all the pollen from this bottle into the Disaster World Faceless Beast's body."

Shadow respectfully received the bottle that contained the Soul-Bewildering Daisy's pollen.

When it turned to the Disaster World Faceless Beast, its gaze changed into a mix of coldness, derision, and indolence.

Its expression was like a statistical graph, and it terrified the Disaster World Faceless Beast to the point that it started trembling.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast had reached Suzerain X/pinnacle Myth I and was as intelligent as a regular spirit qi professional.

Hence, it knew what was in store for it.

It wanted to let out a wail, but the suppression from Shadow caused it to be unable to even draw breath.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast looked like a sable-species fey that resembled a dog. Its silver fur with red flecks was long and thick.

The petrified Disaster World Faceless Beast could be described as adorable.

However, Lin Yuan had seen the Disaster World Faceless Beast's true colors.

It was a fey that toyed with spirits, souls, and minds and used these to cleanse itself. An unknown number of lifeforms had already died at its hands.

Lin Yuan had experienced being stuck in a stalemate with the Disaster World Faceless Beast, and he had almost lost control of his soul.

If Morbius had not helped him to use his soul to trap the Disaster World Faceless Beast, Liu Jie, Zong Ze, Gao Feng, and Liu Yifan would have ended up killed by the child Disaster World Faceless Beast.

Hence, Lin Yuan did not feel an ounce of pity for the pitiful state that the Disaster World Faceless Beast was in.

He was no longer the naive young man from the Xia Region. He had been trained by his experiences and could even bring himself to kill spirit qi professionals now, much less a fey.

Lin Yuan understood the change in Shadow's gaze.

Shadow was a dimensional lifeform that lived its life by carnage. Savagery and cunning were in its nature.

In the abyssal world, any kind demon would end up killed by its fellow demons before it even reached Class 1.

Since Shadow had managed to survive to become a Class 11 dimensional lifeform on its own when it had been in the abyssal world, it proved that it was heartless.

At that moment, Shadow reached out and grabbed the Disaster World Faceless Beast's neck, lifting it off the ground.

The Soul-Bewildering Daisy's pollen's effects were astonishing, but Shadow had reached Immortal, and the Soul-Bewildering Daisy's pollen would not work on it.

Shadow opened the bottle and poured out the Soul-Bewildering Daisy's pollen into the Disaster World Faceless Beast's nostril. Then, it manipulated the Disaster World Faceless Beast to breathe in the pollen.

Soon, the Disaster World Faceless Beast fell to the ground as though it was drunk.

Shadow had only poured out half the bottle of the Soul-Bewildering Daisy's pollen. It returned the half-empty bottle to Lin Yuan.

The Soul-Bewildering Daisy pollen was like the Muscle Hyperthymesia Grass' roots in that both could only be encountered by chance.

Lin Yuan might be able to find another use for it in the future.

Lin Yuan looked at the Disaster World Faceless Beast and said to the Beast Spirit's Soul that was circling around in his palm, "Go, that body is yours."

The Beast Spirit's Soul was a parasitic source-type lifeform. It needed to take over a soul to invade its body in order to truly become alive.

The Beast Spirit's Soul was in agony that Lin Yuan had not allowed it to take over a lifeform throughout its evolution to Diamond grade.

When it heard Lin Yuan's instruction, the Beast Spirit's Soul dashed over to the Disaster World Faceless Beast and started to attack its soul.

The Soul-Bewildering Daisy's pollen was very dominant, and the Disaster World Faceless Beast's soul was rendered utterly helpless.

It was like a muscular man who was restrained to a wall. No matter how strong this man was, he was reduced to a sitting duck,

The Beast Spirit's Soul was in no rush to exterminate the Disaster World Faceless Beast's soul and take over its body.

Instead, it gobbled up the Disaster World Faceless Beast's soul like a fine delicacy.

The Soul-Bewildering Daisy's pollen's effects would last for at least three hours. This was more than enough time.

Lin Yuan could allow the Beast Spirit's Soul to do as it pleased during the three hours.

A fey's thinking process was very simple. It only knew to pursue its benefits.

The Beast Spirit's Soul was consuming the Soul-Bewildering Daisy's pollen because it was beneficial to its growth.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast had comprehended the Confounding Law.

The Beast Spirit's Soul was using its Soul Gathering Willpower Rune to consume the Confounding Law.

Although the Soul-Bewildering Daisy's pollen had already paralyzed the Disaster World Faceless Beast's soul, the Confounding Law was unaffected.

It was stupid to use a willpower to take on a law.

1847 The Disaster World Faceless Beast's Bloodline Evolves!

The Beast Spirit's Soul was not only unable to consume the Confounding Law, but its Soul Gathering Willpower Rune even experienced backlash from the Confounding Law. As such, the Beast Spirit's Soul was in great peril.

Even without Lin Yuan issuing an order, Shadow's totem lit up, and Shadow used its totem power to suppress the Confounding Law.

It was like an elephant that was being restrained in front of an ant so the ant would be free to prey on it.

It sounded like a joke for an elephant to be eaten by an ant. But given enough time, it was not impossible.

The Beast Spirit's Soul was hard at work using its Soul Gathering Willpower Rune to harvest the Confounding Law.

Lin Yuan patiently waited to see if the Beast Spirit's Soul's Soul Gathering Willpower Rune could successfully consume the Confounding Law.

Half an hour later, Lin Yuan noticed that the Soul Gathering Willpower Rune had harvested a portion of the Confounding Law's abilities.

This discovery elated Lin Yuan.

As long as the Beast Spirit's Soul had enough time, it would be able to fully harvest the Beast Spirit's Soul.

However, three hours was clearly insufficient.

Three hours later, when the Disaster World Faceless Beast's soul became free and was about to fight back, Lin Yuan did not hesitate to use the remaining half the bottle of the Soul-Bewildering Daisy's pollen.

Six hours later, the Soul Gathering Willpower Rune completely consumed the Confounding Law.

Even if the Disaster World Faceless Beast's soul recovered, it no longer had the ability to fight back against the Beast Spirit's Soul.

Eventually, the Disaster World Faceless Beast's soul became sustenance for the Beast Spirit's Soul, and the Beast Spirit's Soul officially took over the body.

The Beast Spirit's Soul was a parasitic source-type lifeform.

Although the Beast Spirit's Soul was limited by Lin Yuan's spirit qi professional rank and thus was only Diamond X/Fantasy V, the Disaster World Faceless Beast was still Suzerain X/pinnacle Myth I.

If the Beast Spirit's Soul had not fully taken control of the Confounding Law, the Disaster World Faceless Beast quality would have fallen after the Beast Spirit's Soul invaded it.

After a series of events, Lin Yuan managed to obtain a Suzerain X/Myth I fey despite only being a B-rank spirit qi professional.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast that had been struggling on the ground now stood up obediently. It shook out its hair and lunged toward Lin Yuan affectionately.

Now that the Beast Spirit's Soul had taken over the Disaster World Faceless Beast, it had become one of Lin Yuan's feys.

Hence, Shadow stopped restraining the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

Before the Disaster World Faceless Beast could reach Lin Yuan's body, the thick fur on its body that had started coming into contact with the pure spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone lit up.

Lin Yuan was about to reach out to catch the Disaster World Faceless Beast, which was about the size of a pet dog, when all of its fur fell off, exposing a body that was only around the size of a palm.

This allowed Lin Yuan to know that the Disaster World Faceless Beast's size had mostly come from its fur. It was actually very cute!

Lin Yuan had seen a fey transform in such a way in the Spirit Lock spatial zone more than once.

When Genius, the Lifespan Mouse, and feys that were sensitive to spirit qi were awash in the pure spirit qi, their bloodlines would transform, and they would grow new fur.

Moreover, they would also gain a new body when their fur was transforming.

This was what had happened to the Flower Branch Mouse.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast was already walking down an unknown path. If it evolved again, it might refresh its fundamental lifeform status and species!

This was what had happened to Genius when it evolved from the Hundred Questions Beast to the Thousand Questions Beast, then to the Beast that Connects Everything, and finally to the Highest Access Fate-Knowing Beast. FOlloow 𝒏ewest stories at n𝒐(v)

Lin Yuan saw the Disaster World Faceless Beast's current bloodline as the same as when Genius evolved from the Beast that Connects Everything to the Highest Access Fate-Knowing Beast.

Lin Yuan had found out from the Goddess of Mercy that the mother Disaster World Faceless Beast belonged to Na Na.

Once the child Disaster World Faceless Beast's bloodline completed its transformation, its bloodline would surpass that of its mother.

He would likely clash swords with Na Na again in the future.

At that time, it was likely that the child Disaster World Faceless Beast would be able to suppress its mother.

Previously, the child Disaster World Faceless Beast's fur had been silver with hints of red.

But under the nourishment of the pure spirit qi, the red in the Disaster World Faceless Beast's fur intensified.

However, the red was completely different from the red on the Mother of Bloodbath's body.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast's red was sinister and bewitching. It had an ominous aura.

Lin Yuan seriously observed the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

The fur had gathered in a pile by his feet.

The large amount of fur indicated that the Disaster World Faceless Beast had already transformed multiple times.

Lin Yuan realized that the Disaster World Faceless Beast had already molted and grown new fur 15 times.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast's fur was now fully red.

As its fur continuously fell and regrew, its fur slowly took on an alluring purple hue. The fur also started growing longer.

If Chu Ci were younger, Lin Yuan would have given her the Disaster World Faceless Beast. She would have been able to braid 300 braids out of its fur.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan felt the Disaster World Faceless Beast growing hotter in his arms.

A power rose out from its bloodline and enveloped its body.

This told Lin Yuan that the Disaster World Faceless Beast was about to be done with its transformation.

He held his breath and continued staring at the Disaster World Faceless Beast.

Lin Yuan noticed numerous large purple spots on its originally pink and red skin.

The purple spots continuously changed. An eye appeared at the center of each of the purple spots.

Lin Yuan had never seen a fey's bloodline become so sinister during an evolution.

Soon, soft purple and red fur grew out from its body.

...

The tips of the hair were red, but they gradually turned purple toward the roots.

A cry that resembled that of a baby was released from Lin Yuan's arms.

The Disaster World Faceless Beast opened its eyes, and Lin Yuan was suddenly looking into a pair of beautiful pink eyes.

Although the Disaster World Faceless Beast had become Lin Yuan's fey and Lin Yuan's soul was much stronger than average, he still felt his spirit becoming influenced when he locked eyes with the mesmerizingly pink ones.

1848 Death Demon Concubine!

The small beast in Lin Yuan's arms had no idea that its gaze was affecting Lin Yuan and continued to snuggle up to him.

Lin Yuan was the one who had nurtured the Beast Spirit's Soul. As such, it felt sincerely affectionate toward Lin Yuan.

A moment later, Lin Yuan shook his head to clear his mind.

It was just a pair of eyes, but Lin Yuan could be certain that the Disaster World Faceless Beast that had evolved its bloodline was extremely powerful.

There were hundreds of eyes on its skin, and it had twin-colored fur and pink eyes. Alll 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n/.c𝒐m

Genius came across as transparent, clean, and agile.

Meanwhile, the evolved Disaster World Faceless Beast came across as muddled, unclean, and seductive.

Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the evolved Disaster World Faceless Beast.

[Fey Name: Death Demon Concubine Beast

[Fey Species: Demon concubine beast species/faceless beast species

[Fey Grade: Suzerain (10/10)

[Fey Type: Curse/Spiritual/Soul

[Fey Quality: Myth I

Abilities:

[Death: Make a judgment on the target's willpower, soul, spirit, and mind power. If the judgment decides that the combined power of the four powers is weaker than it, the lifeform will not be able to attack it.

[Heart Words Cross Disaster: Placing a voiced curse on the target. The strength of the target's spiritual energy will determine the strength of the curse. Under the influence of the curse, if another curse is placed on the target's mind, the effects of the curse will multiply, and the target's soul will start to corrode.

[Demon Concubine's Promise: The Death Demon Concubine can turn its heart into a pill that can be gifted to a target. The target will become the Death Demon Concubine's dependant, and their lives will be tied together.

[Heart Stolen Soul Photographed: After Disaster Heart curses the target's soul, it can enter the target's body and use its soul to control the target's body.

[Deepened Curse Imprint: Magnify the effects of the curse on the target and bewitch the target's mind, soul, and spiritual energy simultaneously.

[Steal the Fate of a Nation: If it can influence the fate of a country that sits upon a certain area of the earth, the fate can be stolen. The price of this ability is the burning up of one's lifespan.

[Demon Concubine's Chaos: When affecting the fate of the nation that the territory belongs to, a chaotic destiny can be injected into the territory. The chaotic destiny will cause all the lifeforms on the ground to be afflicted by bad luck. The effects of the bad luck will be linked to the strength of the chaotic destiny.

Exclusive Skill:

[Faceless Appearance: Set a target and absorb its bloodline, spiritual energy, and soul. It will then assume the appearance of the target and obtain all of its abilities.

[Fate of Chaos: Absorb the fate of the ground it is present on. The fate can be used to enhance the effects of its abilities.

[Payment in Life: Use its lifespan to investigate the lifespans of other targets. If its own lifespan is sacrificed, it can take away another's lifespan by touching the target.

Lin Yuan realized that the small beast in his arms was no longer called the Disaster World Faceless Beast but the Death Demon Concubine Beast.

It changed from faceless beast species/furred beast species to demon concubine beast species/faceless beast species. Evidently, its species had been extrapolated.

From the Death Demon Concubine Beast's name, it was clear that it was the first of its kind.

Its Normal ability Child and Mother Double Body, which relied on cooperating with the mother, had changed to Death.

Lin Yuan found the ability Death to be extremely interesting.

The Death Demon Concubine Beast was curse-, spiritual-, and soul-type. As such, its willpower, soul, spirit, and mind were extremely powerful.

While the Death Demon Concubine Beast was growing, it would be very difficult for other feys of the same grade to be judged as stronger than the Death Demon Concubine Beast.

If Death was used, feys that were of the same grade or were weaker than the Death Demon Concubine Beast would not be able to attack it.

This ability would allow the Death Demon Concubine Beast to never have to worry about being sieged by a group.

In a way, Death would cause spirit qi professionals to lose control of their feys. This would cause the spirit qi professionals to lose confidence in their feys during battle.

The feys that lost to the Death Demon Concubine Beast as a result of Death's judgment would only be able to watch as their contractors were taken control by the Death Demon Concubine Beast or killed.

The Death Demon Concubine Beast's original Elite and Silver abilities Disaster Warning and Disaster Heart had fused to become Heart Words Cross Disaster.

A curse would first be applied to a target. Once the curse took effect, a mind curse could be stacked onto it.

Since the Disaster World Faceless Beast's Elite and Silver abilities had been fused, the Elite ability slot was left empty.

Demon Concubine's Promise would allow the Disaster World Faceless Beast to turn its heart into a pill that could bind it with a lifeform. It would become dependent on this lifeform, and the death of one would lead to the death of another.

Lin Yuan saw this as a contraction ability.

Normally, it would be best to use Demon Concubine's Promise on the strongest fey available because feys that were stronger at combat would be better able to protect the Death Demon Concubine Beast.

However, Lin Yuan did not see it this way.

In order to use Steal the Fate of a Nation and Payment in Life, the Demon Concubine Promise would have to use up its lifespan.

Since Lin Yuan had become the Death Demon Concubine Beast's contractor, he knew that its lifespan was extremely long. However, if its power did not increase and it remained stuck at Suzerain X/Myth I, it would only be able to live around 800 years at the most.

This was much longer than the lifespan of regular spirit qi professionals. But it would be far from enough if Lin Yuan wanted to use Steal the Fate of a Nation and Payment in Life.

Lin Yuan felt that Steal the Fate of a Nation was the Death Demon Concubine Beast's essence.

The fate of a nation encompassed the fates of every lifeform living in it.

In order for a territory to be titled as blessed, the considerations included not only its resources but also fate. This was what made up the fate of a nation.

With a lifespan of only around 800 years, the Death Demon Concubine Beast could not extract too much of a nation's fate.

1849 Possibilities of Demon Concubine's Promise!

The Death Demon Concubine Beast's second exclusive skill Fate of Chaos could absorb the fate of the territory that the Death Demon Concubine Beast was on. It would then use the fate to boost its own abilities.

This meant that the more fate that the Death Demon Concubine Beast drained, the greater its power would be.

Besides Fate of Chaos, Payment in Life also needed the Disaster World Faceless Beast to use up its lifespan. As such, Payment in Life would shorten the Disaster World Faceless Beast's life. It not only harmed the opponent but oneself as well.

Lu Ou never dared to use this ability in the past.

However, Lin Yuan had nurtured a new lifeform that had gotten the Moon Empress out of her half-dug grave. This lifeform would forever only be able to remain Normal quality, but it was a treasure that every expert would desire.

The lifeform that Lin Yuan was referring to was the Lifespan Mouse.

If Lin Yuan could strengthen the Flower Branch Mouse and nurture another Lifespan Mouse, the Death Demon Concubine Beast would be able to use Concubine's Promise to form a contract with the Lifespan Mouse and link their lives together.

As long as Lin Yuan could provide the Lifespan Mouse with enough spiritual ingredients that contained vitality, its lifespan would virtually be endless.

This might even allow the Death Demon Concubine Beast to drain all of a nation's fate using Steal the Fate of a Nation.

Payment in Life enabled the Disaster World Faceless Beast to use an unreasonable method to eliminate feys that were stronger than it.

However, Lin Yuan would never take this ability for granted because he would not know what secret weapons his future enemies possessed.

No matter how confident he was, an ability like this that risked everything had to be used cautiously.

Heart Stolen Soul Photographed and Deepened Curse Imprint had not changed. When they were used in conjunction with Heart Words Cross Disaster, they would be able to increase the Death Demon Concubine Beast's control over the target.

Blessing of Mother's Body would have allowed the Disaster World Faceless Beast to receive boosts from its mother's mind, spirit, and soul.

If it burned up its bloodline, it could even summon its mother over. Thus, it had been a life-preserving secret weapon.

Now, Death Concubine's Chaos caused the Death Demon Concubine Beast to lose this life-preserving secret weapon. Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐

But when used together with Steal the Fate of a Nation, Death Concubine's Chaos could be even more apocalyptic than Blessing of Mother's Body.

When the Death Demon Concubine Beast was draining a nation's fate, it could inject a chaotic destiny into the ground to curse all the lifeforms present on the territory.

Normally, due to the restriction of the Death Demon Concubine Beast's lifespan, the effects of Steal the Fate of a Nation and Death Concubine's Chaos were not strong.

But once the Death Demon Concubine Beast used Demon Concubine's Promise to contract the Lifespan Mouse, it would be able to place a terrifying chaotic destiny on the territory that bound every lifeform to bad luck.

Cold beads of sweat had started dripping down Lin Yuan's back by the time he was done reading about the ability Death Concubine's Chaos.

He was relieved that he was the one who possessed the Death Demon Concubine Beast.

Even if Lu Ou did not have the Lifespan Mouse, he could still wield the Death Demon Concubine Beast as a fearsome strategic killing machine.

Although the members of royalty had reached Eternal, they were humans and did not have a lifespan that reached 1,000 years. Only experts who started walking down heaven's path were able to live past 1,000 years.

Lin Yuan always assumed that a person's lifespan was limited. But once the Moon Empress started walking down heaven's path and unlocked her birth horoscope, she got a peek at the cinder that could be set alight.

The Moon Empress told Lin Yuan that once the ember in the birth horoscope was lit, one's lifespan might even become endless. There might be an end eventually, but the minimum lifespan would still be raised to tens of thousands of years.

Even if the Death Demon Concubine Beast contracted the Lifespan Mouse, it would not be the same as experts because the process by which the Lifespan Mouse accumulated lifespan was not as simple as it seemed.

Besides spiritual ingredients that contained vitality, the Lifespan Mouse also needed to digest the vitality-containing spiritual ingredients. However, the Lifespan Mouse would forever be stuck at Normal quality and did not have a strong digestive ability.

Although the Death Demon Concubine Beast could not compare to an expert that had set their birth horoscope alight, it would still be able to take on Eternal experts with lifespans of 1,000 to 2,000 years.

As long as the Lifespan Mouse continued eating, with time, the Death Demon Concubine Beast might even be able to take on experts who had set fire to their birth horoscope.

As he looked at the little beast in his arms, the only feeling that Lin Yuan could identify was shock.

He would struggle if he was asked to compare the Death Demon Concubine Beast with Genius and Chimey.

Chimey had produced its own sun and had turned into a completely new celestial being.

Genius was the king of cats and could use its tail to connect with higher powers. As long as it paid the price, it would be able to find out anything it wanted to know.

The Death Demon Concubine Beast could toy with lifespans and had the added edge of chaos.

Lin Yuan noticed that these feys that had their species as part of their names all had a unique power that no other fey would be able to replicate.

Lin Yuan seemed to have found his new ideals.

Now that he was done nurturing the Death Demon Concubine Beast, Lin Yuan's combat power had increased substantially.

Currently, the Death Demon Concubine Beast was the strongest fey that Lin Yuan had. Its grade and quality only further cemented this ranking.

Lin Yuan decided to name the Death Demon Concubine Beast. He would not base the name off of the Death Demon Concubine Beast because Lin Yuan had formed a contract with it through the Beast Spirit's Soul.

Eventually, Lin Yuan decided to name it Merciful Soul. This was because the Goddess of Mercy had been the one who had given him the Beast Spirit's Soul, and it would allow Lin Yuan to always remember the Goddess of Mercy's ulterior motive for him.

Now, Lin Yuan was done with his second task.

Lin Yuan prepared himself to contract the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil had a high standard for the strength of the soul.

Every young elite from the Freedom Federation was exceptionally careful before they contracted an intermediate devil.

However, Lin Yuan did not have to do the same because he had two souls, both of which had been cleansed of impurities.

Since he was capable of contracting four sacred source lifeforms, he had nothing to worry about when contracting with a mere intermediate devil.

1850 Shadow, Discipline Her!

Lin Yuan let out the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil from the purple and gold cage.

Every devil that came from the Demon Church had its own unique nurturing method.

But all devils had extremely strong reactions to spirit qi.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was extremely beautiful.

It was wearing a light green dress that resembled a nun's tunic. Its ruby lips were dewy and looked alluring yet gentle.

When the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil sensed the pure spirit qi, it started taking deep breaths wildly in order to absorb as much pure spirit qi as possible to strengthen itself.

But before a hint of the spirit qi could reach the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's abdomen, Shadow used its aura to squeeze all the spirit qi out of the vicinity of the purple and gold cage.

Once the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was unable to sense any pure spirit qi, it instantly went into a frenzy.

When the Goddess of Mercy had been in the Radiant Moon Palace, she had candidly described devils to him.

Devils were all selfish, cruel, violent, bloodthirsty, and sly. They only acted in their own interests. Their nature made them impossible to tame.

Although the Goddess of Mercy had turned her higher devil into her servant when she formed a contract with it, there had been numerous times that she needed to use benefits to tempt the higher devil.

This was because she had strengthened it extensively and needed to depend on its power during battle.

As such, although the devil acknowledged the Goddess of Mercy as its mistress, it would still request perks from her.

The Goddess of Mercy had reflected on her situation. Although she had become the devil's mistress when she contracted it, she had not disciplined it.

Thus, the Goddess of Mercy made sure to stress the importance of disciplining the intermediate devil to Lin Yuan.

After the Goddess of Mercy sensed the mermaid bloodline within Lin Yuan, she started looking out for him as long as it would not involve her giving up her profits.

There was something that the Goddess of Mercy had not understood.

She had three intermediate devils on hand, so why did the Moon Empress pick the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil out of all of them?

The Goddess of Mercy felt that the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was too challenging to nurture.

Although the Moon Empress could purify the Eternal Heart and had become a Class 6 Creation Master, she would still have to invest a lot of time and energy if she wanted to help Lin Yuan nurture the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

Furthermore, there was no guarantee that the time and energy spent would be rewarded.

However, the Moon Empress was still Lin Yuan's master. The Goddess of Mercy could not interfere in a decision that the Moon Empress had made for Lin Yuan.

The Goddess of Mercy was hoping to obtain the affection of Lin Yuan, who had the emperor mermaid bloodline.

As such, she needed to maintain an amicable relationship with the Moon Empress.

Although the Goddess of Mercy could not decide which intermediate devil Lin Yuan contracted, she could give her suggestions.

Lin Yuan still kept the Goddess of Mercy's advice in mind and intended to properly discipline the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

Given the nature of devils, it would not do to use the soft method on them.

When the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was unable to sense the pure spirit qi, its beautiful countenance had warped into a frightening sight.

Lin Yuan walked up to it and placed his hand on the cage as he said, "You are in my territory now. Yet, you're still trying to absorb my spirit qi. It looks like you still don't know your place!"

Lin Yuan's words seemed to be an arrogant provocation, but he was actually informing the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil of its circumstance to let it know that the pure spirit qi was still present.

After contracting the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, Lin Yuan would have to evolve it.

He felt that with all the different types of pure spirit qi at his disposal, he would be able to evolve the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil to a higher devil at least.

Once the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil evolved into a higher devil, it would become more powerful than Lin Yuan.

When Lu Ou fused with his higher devil, he could control it better than Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian could contract their intermediate devils. However, the higher devil also affected his personality.

If Lin Yuan wanted to keep his personality intact when he fused with the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil, he needed it to submit to him whenever he summoned it.

Since the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was an intermediate devil, it was as intelligent as any human adult. In fact, it was much more scheming.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil clearly understood its value to spirit qi professionals.

It spoke with a fawning, beguiling, and cunning tone, "If you give me the spirit qi, I will help you once I become stronger!"

Every devil had its own distinct personality.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil's personality was characterized by greed. It was almost obsessed with wealth.

Thus, when Lin Yuan demonstrated how much pure spirit qi he had, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil completely submitted to him. Alll 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n/.c𝒐m

From its tone, it seemed willing to allow Lin Yuan to become its contractor.

If the other elites from the Freedom Federation who had contracted intermediate devils found out about this, their jaws would drop because devils almost never submitted to spirit qi professionals when the force was not used.

By saying what it had said, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was the first of its kind.

The main reason for this was that the purity of the spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone was much too high. The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil wanted nothing more than to spend every day drinking it all up.

The Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil felt that it would be able to start devouring the pure spirit qi quicker if it submitted.

Alas, devils and humans did not share the same language.

Lin Yuan had no idea what the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil said. Moreover, he intended to put it through the wringer to instill discipline in it. Thus, he did not instruct Genius to use Connected Tails to learn what the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil was thinking.

He did not know how to torture a devil. However, all the demons that lived in the abyssal world were experts at this. Corporal punishment was a life skill for abyss demons.

Shadow was a wily old fox in its own right and was likely to have countless methods for torture.

Lin Yuan said, "Shadow, discipline her! I hope to see it bowing to me the next time I lay my eyes on it."

Lin Yuan did not understand what the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil said, and the same went for the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil.

Hence, the Flower Calamity Beautiful Devil still had not realized the severity of its situation.

It continued looking at Lin Yuan with confusion.

I've already submitted to you. Why are you talking to that dwarf instead of taking pity on me?
