Chapter 1351: A Test and Stirring the Pot

Miao Zhenshan was certain that Sky City was brewing something.

Three days ago, Miao Zhuo had called Lin Yuan, who told him that he would help the Miao family after he was done with his own business.

This proved that Lin Yuan did not care about Connected Beast Park at all and considered their plea unimportant.

Miao Zhenshan was extremely displeased by this.

When Miao Zhenshan saw the negative comments on Star Web, he could not help but think that Connected Beast Park would not have to face such awkward consequences if Lin Yuan had just stepped in earlier to help.

By using their connection to Lin Yuan, Connected Beast Park might not be able to regain the favor of the masses, but the top factions would still have tried their best to maintain their collaborations with Connected Beast Park.

Previously, Connected Beast Park had depended on the Purple Bamboo Forest. But because of Miao Qi and Wang Fuxiang, this option was no longer available.

But forming a relationship with Lin Yuan would be akin to having the support of the Radiant Moon Palace. Miao Zhenshan was aiming for this.

However, he did not expect to still be busy three days later. If this dragged on for any longer, Connected Beast Park would be well and truly done in society.

When one's reputation fell to a certain point, not even the support of a god would be able to save them from the sneers and derision of others.

The more Miao Zhenshan thought about it, the angrier he became, and he smashed the ceramic persimmon he was holding.

The shattered ceramic glinted with white light and framed Miao Zhenshan with even more menace that was already radiating off of him.

Miao Zhuo and Miao He, who were standing next to Miao Zhenshan, were so petrified that they started to tremble.

They exchanged a look and saw the terror in each other's eyes.

Three days ago, Miao Zhuo and Miao He still saw hope.

But now, after spending three days by Miao Zhenshan's side, they dared not let out a peep each time Miao Zhenshan lost control.

It would be a blessing for them if their quietness and passiveness could allow them to stay on his good side.

Miao Zhuo blinked at Miao He and pushed out his lips to signal to Miao He to comfort Miao Zhenshan.

Miao He rolled his eyes at Miao Zhuo and nervously picked at his nails. When Miao Zhuo continued to throw looks at Miao He, the latter gestured at the phone in Miao Zhuo's pocket as though he was saying, "You were fighting to be the one to contact Lin Yuan. Yet, he hasn't shown up after saying he would. Don't think that I'm unaware that this is what's bothering Grandfather. Since you made the call, you should be the one to put out the fire."

Miao He sucked in a deep breath.

At first, when Lin Yuan had acted as though he had forgiven Miao Zhuo for offending him during the Guard Ye Banquet, Miao Zhenshan had clearly started to improve his attitude toward Miao Zhuo and started to shower more affection on him than he did Miao He.

Miao Zhenshan had brought up Miao Zhuo to become the Miao family's Young Leader.

He had spent decades by Miao Zhenshan's side and knew what kind of person he was. Miao Zhenshan liked smart people.

He had been smarter than Miao He ever since they were children. He had always been certain that even if his talent failed him one day, Miao Zhenshan's affection for him would still exceed that of Miao He.

But during the meeting between the key members of the Miao family, someone had pointed out that the Miao family's downfall had started at the Guard Ye Banquet.

At that moment, Miao Zhuo's heart skipped a beat. Just as he feared, Miao Zhenshan started to give him the cold shoulder immediately afterward.

He only relaxed when he noticed that Miao Zhenshan's attitude toward Miao He had also not become any warmer.

If someone needed to step up now, Miao Zhuo had to be the one to do it if Miao He refused to.

Miao Zhuo glanced at the broken ceramic on the ground before saying, "Grandfather, let me call Lin Yuan to rush him."

Miao Zhenshan whipped his body around and said, "Zhuo, call Lin Yuan now to try and figure out his intentions. We have already tried to be friendly, yet he hasn't done a thing for us. Does he want us to pay up some resources first? If so, tell him we'll start preparing immediately."

Miao Zhuo instantly knew that Miao Zhenshan was desperate now.

Miao Zhenshan had always been careful about agreeing to call Lin Yuan.

There were some things that could be asked in an indirect manner but not explicitly laid out. Gêtt the latest ch𝒂pters on n𝒐

If they rushed Lin Yuan to help the Miao family, the Miao family would be fully dependent on begging for others' goodwill.

However, Miao Zhuo dared not voice this opinion to Miao Zhenshan now and replied, "Yes, Grandfather. I'll call him right now."

Miao Zhuo picked up his phone and dialed Lin Yuan's number.

Liu Jie and the Mother of Bloodbath heard the devastatingly good-looking Lin Yuan's phone ring.

When Lin Yuan took out his phone and saw that the call was coming from Miao Zhuo, he thought,?It looks like Connected Beast Park is getting anxious. However, I'm in no rush at all.

The incident had only taken place three days ago. Although the rate that the faith power increased had slowed, it had never stopped. This meant that the incident was still at the forefront of the public's mind, and there was no need to stoke the fire.

Thus, in order to enable his faith power to increase to the greatest extent, Lin Yuan would not help Connected Beast Park until the time was right.

He picked up the call and said in an annoyed tone, "What?"

Miao Zhuo had been trying to come up with a way to ask Lin Yuan. But when he heard Lin Yuan's irked tone, he was frightened into silence.

After pausing for a moment, he looked at Miao Zhenshan's distressed eyes and mustered his courage to ask, "Lord Lin Yuan, you promised to help Connected Beast Park. We felt that we needed to prepare gifts for you to thank you for doing us this favor."

Lin Yuan's tone became even more impatient as he snapped. "What's wrong? Has Sky City caused trouble for you?"

Miao Zhuo's chest tightened.

What does he mean? Did he already make Sky City's City Lord agree not to come after Connected Beast Park? If so, that would be bad.

Miao Zhenshan did not only care about whether the Miao family could survive. Rather, he cared about Connected Beast Park's future reputation.

If Lin Yuan had already rescued Connected Beast Park and Sky City had been deterred, the barrage of negative comments would never end.

Miao He said carefully, "Lord Lin Yuan, have you seen all the people trying to smear the Miao family's name on Star Web? Is it possible for you to make a statement to shut up the supporters that Sky City bought off?"

Chapter 1352: Ought to Set Off a Storm of Bloody Wind and Rain

Lin Yuan scoffed coldly.

Sky City bought supporters? As the City Lord of Sky City, why didn't I hear of this? It seems that Connected Beast Park wants to use my name to stir the pot! I can't allow this! It looks like it's time to give them a piece of my mind.

Miao Zhuo broke out in cold sweat when he heard Lin Yuan's scoff, and it pervaded his silk inner-wear. Before he could try to figure out what he said had angered Lin Yuan, the latter growled, "Connected Beast Park sure is daring! How dare you try to cause trouble using my name? Do you think I'm at your mercy or that the Radiant Moon Palace will allow you to do as you please?

1

"At first, I wanted to do you a small favor. But I did not expect Connected Beast Park to be so scheming. If aiming for the top is all that it takes to reach there, all the factions in the Radiance Federation can stop operations and stop fighting amongst each other."

Miao Zhuo was stuck between a rock and a hard place as he listened to Lin Yuan and saw his grandfather's anxious gaze,

Just as he was considering turning on the speaker function to let Miao Zhenshan listen in as well, Lin Yuan said, "It's not that I can't step in, but Connected Beast Park should show your sincerity. Don't pin your hopes on using my name to cause trouble. Otherwise, I will make sure to teach you a lesson before Sky City gets to you."

Lin Yuan hung up the call.

Liu Jie and the Mother of Bloodbath had heard everything Lin Yuan said. After Lin Yuan hung up, Liu Jie said with a smile, "Lin Yuan, has the fish taken the bait?"

Lin Yuan nodded. He had not only given Miao Zhuo a piece of his mind but also offered Connected Beast Park a glimmer of hope.

Connected Beast Park was such a big faction that they should have picked up on the right thing to do.

Miao Zhenshan had been waiting for Miao Zhuo's response.

After the call ended, Miao Zhuo felt his legs turn to jelly out of anxiousness and fear. At this point, the success or failure no longer depended on him.

Miao Zhenshan took a deep breath and candidly told Miao Zhenshan about everything that Lin Yuan had said so that Miao Zhenshan could decide what should be done next.

Miao Zhenshan had been beside himself with impatience. But when he heard the exchange between Miao Zhuo and Lin Yuan, he became so terrified that he broke out in a cold sweat.

I have been looking at this through rose-colored glasses! If I use Lin Yuan's name for our own purposes, the Radiance Moon Palace will definitely come after me even if Lin Yuan himself doesn't.

Rather than face the Moon Empress' merciless methods, it would be better to allow Sky City to end Connected Beast Park.

Miao Zhenshan immediately fell into deep thought.

Scrolling through all the negative comments on Star Web these past few days has caused me to lose my mind. How could I have thought about using Lin Yuan's status?

Now, Miao Zhenshan dared not allow himself to be anxious.

It was clear from what Miao Zhuo said about the call with Lin Yuan that Lin Yuan was angry. He would need some time to cool down, so Miao Zhenshan decided to wait two days before he called Lin Yuan himself.

As for the sincerity that Lin Yuan spoke of, the faction was about to be gone, so they were in no position to negotiate.

If Lin Yuan wanted all of it, they would give it to him! Becoming subservient was the only way that they would be able to cling to him.

After Lin Yuan returned to the mansion, he realized that Wen Yu was absent. He immediately called her and found out that Mystic Moon had called her to the Radiant Moon Palace. ALL new 𝒄hapters 𝒐n n𝒐v(𝒆)

When Wen Yu heard that Lin Yuan had returned to the mansion, she said softly, "Young Master, I came to the Radiant Moon Palace this morning. Master said that he'll be helping me increase my power over the next few days. Once we're done, I will return to the mansion.

"These few days, the comments on Star Web have blown up. In order to add fuel to the fire, I asked Tian Ningning to contact some Star Web reporters. I paid these Star Web reporters to write articles about the blood pact ultimate fight between the Sea Bliss Clan and Connected Beast Park and post them on Star Web. This should allow the event to reach more people because a few of the Star Web reporters cost 20,000 Radiance dollars per article. In total, I spent over 500,000 Radiance dollars."

1

Wen Yu paused for a moment before continuing. "Young Master, I didn't tell the Star Web reporters how to approach the articles, nor did I mention which faction we're from. I just told them to run with it. Many of them accurately found out about Shadow."

Lin Yuan could not help but slap his leg.

Why didn't I think about using Star Web reporters to cause more commotion surrounding the event?

Although the veteran and top factions had found out that Sky City had helped the Sea Bliss Clan win the blood pact ultimate fight, they would not leak the information.

The Star Web reporters' investigation was what had enabled the event to appear before the Star Web users so quickly.

Even if they had spent 50,000,000 Radiance dollars instead of 500,000 Radiance dollars, it would be worth it in Lin Yuan's eyes.

The strengthening of faith power would enable one of the powers that Lin Yuan had harnessed to grow, and Lin Yuan was willing to spend any amount of money to increase his power.

Moreover, Wen Yu had said that she had not revealed her identity to the Star Web reporters so that their articles would not be biased. Every article was written based on integrity and what would best attract the attention of intellectuals.

Wen Yu's method was brilliant!

Before Lin Yuan could praise Wen Yu, Mystic Moon's voice drifted into the phone. It was clear that Mystic Moon had taken over the phone from Wen Yu.

"Young Lord, I wanted to call you, but Wen Yu beat me to it. I would like to tell you that the Moon Empress has shut herself off to train. I just finished. I know that the Moon Empress' purple moon was summoned from the Crescent Moon Radiant Sunlight Tablet. Are you in trouble?"

Lin Yuan told Mystic Moon about everything that had happened on the island outside Raging Waves City.

As independent as Lin Yuan was, he would never hide such matters from the Moon Empress.

An He would also tell Long Lamplight about it when he returned.

By trying to kill disciples of royalty in the Radiance Federation's sea territory, Shark Awn had essentially trampled all over the Radiance Federation's authority and publicly broken the agreement between the Radiance Federation and the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors.

A federation's pride was priceless to them, and any tarnishing warranted a storm of bloody wind and rain.

Lin Yuan was going to carry the grudge between him and the First Emperor Shark Clan himself.

As a member of the Radiance Federation, Lin Yuan would bring down his full force as he pursued the consequences of the enmity between the Radiance Federation and the sea clans. He had also played a key role in the matter.

Chapter 1353: Dark Sky Prajna

Mystic Moon's eyes darkened when he heard what Lin Yuan said. He glanced at the Moon Empress' locked bedroom and felt a sense of balance.

Normally, he should tell the Moon Empress about something like this immediately, even if she was in seclusion. However, this seclusion of hers was way too important.

Before the seclusion, the Moon Empress had hidden the matter of her hidden injuries in order to bring her power to a new level. After the seclusion, the Moon Empress would become completely different, and her power would reach a peak.

If the Moon Empress was interrupted at such a moment, her distraction could aggravate her hidden injuries.

Mystic Moon balled up his fists, and every strand of silver hair on his head started to glow. It was as though they had all become druse-shaped silver horns.

Mystic Moon's power had finally reached that point. Hence, he now had what it took to undergo the test to become a member of royalty.

Once he passed the test, he would become the 14th member of royalty in the Radiance Federation.

However, according to the rules in the Radiance Federation, it was not allowed for one member of royalty to be subordinate to another member of royalty.

Mystic Moon preferred to be the Moon Empress' Moon Envoy over becoming the 14th member of royalty in the Radiance Federation.

Given Mystic Moon's power, he had the right to call for an imperial meeting even if he did not have the title of a member of royalty.

Since the Moon Empress was still locked away, Mystic Moon would have to take charge of Lin Yuan's matters. Moreover, the battle had involved pinnacle Immortal combat power, which made it serious.

"Young Lord, leave the matter of the sea clans to me. Once the Moon Empress is out, I will tell her about this matter."

Lin Yuan nodded and replied, "Uncle Mystic, sorry to trouble you. Let me know when you need me to appear personally."

Lin Yuan hung up the call.

Mystic Moon did not inform the other 13 members of royalty immediately and called Night Leaning Moon.

This matter involved Long Lamplight's disciple An He and Night Leaning Moon's disciple Liu Jie.

The thought of Long Lamplight disgusted Mystic Moon. He had never seen a person so skilled at bootlicking. Contacting Long Lamplight was no different from eating canned herring.

1

As for Night Leaning Moon, their grudge ran even deeper. They had stopped seeing eye to eye decades ago.

1

However, for the sake of Liu Jie and Lin Yuan, Mystic Moon decided to contact Night Leaning Moon before calling for an imperial meeting.

Mystic Moon immediately called the number he had saved but never called.

He wanted to ask Night Leaning Moon's opinion about the sea clans but had no clue that Night Leaning Moon had already gone into hysterics in the royal capital.

Night Leaning Moon's sorrow and murderous rage erupted from her and filled the imperial court with frigidity.

An elderly man seated on the chair looked at Night Leaning Moon with a pained expression and said, "Leaning Moon, only Cicada Song and I know about Xiyue. Not even Iron Prison knows about it. The Moon Empress doesn't want us to reveal it, so we dared not tell you."

Night Leaning Moon could not stop trembling when she heard what the elderly man said and started to chuckle bitterly. The bitter chuckle reverberated throughout the imperial court and filled it with a macabre air.

"It's fine that Xiyue hid it from me. But all of you hid it from me too despite knowing what she means to me. Xiyue only has less than three years left! Less than three years..."

Night Leaning Moon's voice turned hoarse at the last part. She could not imagine how someone who was so headstrong and capable of standing at the top of the world felt now that she could suddenly see the end of her life. It must be such a helpless feeling.

Although Night Leaning Moon had started guessing before she arrived, guesses were still guesses. When the truth was placed right before her eyes, she could not find it in herself to accept or believe it.

Night Leaning Moon's chest panged.

Night Leaning Moon and Cicada Song were not from the same generation of Radiance Envoys. However, Cicada Song had been a judge that assessed Night Leaning Moon during her Radiance Envoy selection.

From that moment, Cicada Song knew that Night Leaning Moon was a very righteous person with a strong sense of justice. These were the qualities that Cicada Song admired about her.

But as Night Leaning Moon climbed the path from Radiance Envoy to becoming a member of royalty, the Spirit Guards had to carry out assignments all over the 32 major cities to handle dangerous events like dimensional rifts and sudden disasters alongside city guards.

As such, Cicada Song and Night Leaning Moon had formed the deepest of relationships out of all the members of royalty.

After spending decades together, Cicada Song knew that a strong belief lay at the root of Night Leaning Moon's righteousness and sense of justice.

This strong belief came from the Moon Empress. Every person had two sides to them, and members of royalty were no exception. Gẹtt the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐v𝒆ls at 𝒏.o/(v)/e/l/bi𝒏.co𝒎

Cicada Song could not imagine what would happen when the extreme righteousness and sense of justice that came from that strong belief exploded.

"Leaning Moon, for the sake of the Moon Empress' lifespan, the old man even gave up the Earth Center Fine Milk. I personally delivered it to the Moon Empress. She is competing against her birth horoscope, and the Earth Center Fine Milk will be able to extend her lifespan by a year."

Night Leaning Moon narrowed her eyes. A glimmer of light appeared in her obsidian eyes that seemed to devour starry skies.

However, she did not respond to Cicada Song.

Night Leaning Moon waved her hand, and a black gem appeared in her hand. The entire imperial court was enveloped in opaque darkness. It was as though numerous malicious facades were hidden in the darkness.

Cicada Song sighed, and he knew that he would not be able to lie to Night Leaning Moon.

Night Leaning Moon had summoned the Dark Sky Prajna because she wanted him to summon the Alleviating Wind.

But if he summoned the Alleviating Wind, everything would be exposed as he had used the Alleviating Wind's errant winds on the Moon Empress.

Night Leaning Moon would be able to tell this with one look.

But since Night Leaning Moon's stance was so clear, Cicada Song could not do anything but summon the Alleviating Wind.

Cicada Song took a deep breath, and a breeze swirled around him.

The wind diluted the darkness. Yet, the darkness' aura of deadly despair intensified.

Night Leaning Moon waved her hand, and the black gem disappeared.

Her expressionless face was as pale as a sheet, and she looked no different from a walking corpse.

This was a side of Night Leaning Moon that Cicada Song had never seen before.

Since Night Leaning Moon had received her answer, she turned and left the imperial court.

Chapter 1354: Darkened Main World

The elderly man leaning on the chair said, "Leaning Moon, you have accepted a disciple and need to take him into consideration. Since you now know about this matter, let's ask the Moon Empress for her opinion a few days later. We might as well hold an imperial meeting if she's willing."

A conflicted softness appeared on Night Leaning Moon's expressionless face.

A large reason behind why she had accepted Liu Jie as her disciple was that the Moon Empress had accepted Lin Yuan as her disciple.

Night Leaning Moon had been shocked to the core when she saw the Moon Empress cradling the heavily injured Lin Yuan. She could not believe that someone with the Moon Empress' personality had reached out to hug another person.

At that moment, Night Leaning Moon had decided to accept a disciple of her own.

Coincidentally, Liu Jie and Lin Yuan had beat death together, and he was also a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

The half an hour outside of Indigo Azure City had been enough to prove Liu Jie's character. Thus, Night Leaning Moon had decided to accept Liu Jie as her disciple.

Night Leaning Moon could see herself and the Moon Empress in Liu Jie and Lin Yuan.

She did not have many feelings for Liu Jie before he became her disciple. But as they spent more time together, she could not deny that he was the closest person to her in the world besides the Moon Empress.

Night Leaning Moon knew that the Moon Empress would never allow the other members of royalty to find out that she only had four years left in her lifespan.

Moreover, after one ate a type of spiritual ingredient that could prolong lifespans, they would have to eat only that fruit from then on to prolong their lifespan.

Now the Earth Center Fine Milk had been used, and there was no other spiritual ingredient more precious or of better quality that could prolong lifespans.

Night Leaning Moon's phone started to ring. She picked up her phone and immediately frowned when she saw the number. She anxiously picked it up.

Given that Mystic Moon was a Moon Envoy, he had to know about the truth of the Moon Empress' situation.

Although Night Leaning Moon did not know why Mystic Moon would do something so out of character as calling her, she was bursting with questions for him.

When she picked up the call, before Mystic Moon could make a sound, Night Leaning Moon said, "Mystic Moon, tell me the truth. Are there only four years left in the Moon Empress' lifespan?"

Mystic Moon had already been uncomfortable about calling Night Leaning Moon. However, this matter concerned Lin Yuan and Liu Jie's safety as well as the Radiance Federation's pride. Hence, he decided that it would be best to call Night Leaning Moon first.

However, Night Leaning Moon's sharp question completely caught him off guard.

How did Night Leaning Moon know? It was impossible that she found out from the Moon Empress because she would not need to ask Mystic Moon if that was the case. Given Mystic Moon's understanding of Lin Yuan, the leak definitely could not have come from him either.

Night Leaning Moon had said that the Moon Empress had four years and not three years left in her lifespan. This meant that she had included the lifespan provided by the Earth Center Fine Milk.

Apparently, Night Leaning Moon had heard about this matter from that elderly man and Cicada Song.

If not for Lin Yuan's Lifespan Mouse, Mystic Moon dared not think of how he would feel when he discovered that the Moon Empress only had three years left in her lifespan.

Lin Yuan had given the Moon Empress, Mystic Moon, Cold Moon, and even the entire Radiant Moon Palace a new lease of life.

This matter was extremely important, and Mystic Moon dared not reveal it to anyone else, even if it was Night Leaning Moon who was asking him.

Only Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress, the two masters of the Radiant Moon Palace, had the right to discuss the matter.

Mystic Moon had also heard about the Moon Empress' limited lifespan from Cicada Song. Since Night Leaning Moon had also heard about it from Cicada Song, it was no longer important if Mystic Moon admitted it.

Mystic Moon paused before making a soft noise of acknowledgment.

Uncontrollable sorrow spread across Night Leaning Moon's face. In spite of her expression of grief, she asked Mystic Moon coldly, "Why are you calling me?"

Night Leaning Moon's tone ticked off Mystic Moon, but he still told her about everything that Lin Yuan had told him.

At first, he had wanted to ask for Night Leaning Moon's opinion. However, she promptly hung up on him.

Night Leaning Moon's eyes changed into the same shade of darkness as the deep night. She waved her hand again and summoned the black gem once again.

But this time, it was not the Radiance Federation's imperial court that had been plunged into darkness but the entire main world.

The sky had started out bright, clear, and completely devoid of clouds.

The Radiance Federation had a standard working duration of six hours. Every person only needed to work for six hours before they could leave work and kick back to enjoy life.

Meanwhile, spirit qi professionals needed to work day and night to increase their power. The truth of the world was that those with more power had to put in more work.

When these normal people looked up into the cloudless sky, they sighed to themselves that there would not be a beautiful fiery sunset today.

At this moment, the sky was suddenly engulfed in darkness. Before anyone had time to react, the sky had already turned pure obsidian that stretched endlessly. More and more darkness piled on top of the ebony blanket the sky had turned into.

Besides the Moon Empress, who was locked away, the other members of royalty in the Radiance Federation looked up to the sky simultaneously and wondered what had happened to Night Leaning Moon.

Night Leaning Moon was a reserved person. Why was she publicly unleashing the might of her sacred source lifeform that could affect the entire world? This did not seem like something she would do at all.

Mystic Moon was speechless at how Night Leaning Moon had hung up the call on him. 𝒩eew updates 𝒂t n𝒐vel/bi𝒏.com

He had called to talk with her and ask for her opinion. Yet, she had hung up on him before he could even get a single word out.

What is she trying to pull? Even if she has something against me, this isn't the time to act on it!

Before Mystic Moon could lament over this, he spotted the darkened sky.

Mystic Moon narrowed his eyes.

Night Leaning Moon's sacred source lifeform had reached pinnacle 10 Stars.

When sacred source lifeforms reached 10 Stars, they would gain the power to impact the entire world.

If the Dark Sky Prajna unleashed its full force, it could bring a full-blown calamity down on the world. It could plunge the sky into eternal darkness.

One week without the nourishment of sunlight and the weaker plant type feys would wither.

These plants were the foundation of the environment. This meant that the Dark Sky Prajna had the power to cripple the entire environment.

Was Night Leaning Moon enraged about how Liu Jie had almost been killed on the island outside of Raging Waves City?

Chapter 1355: Freedom Mystic Temple

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Impossible! It was conceivable that someone with the Night Leaning Moon's personality would do something like this for the sake of her disciple. But given Mystic Moon's understanding of Night Leaning Moon, she would never do something like this.

It did not take long for Mystic Moon to come up with a possibility.

When taking into consideration the fact that Night Leaning Moon had heard about the Moon Empress' circumstance from Cicada Song, this possibility would explain everything.

It was clear from the fact that Night Leaning Moon had summoned the Dark Sky Prajna that it did not plan on settling the issue of the First Emperor Shark Clan publicly breaking the agreement between the Radiance Federation and the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors peacefully. She planned on employing martial force instead.

The darkness in the sky was still accumulating, and the immense night power swallowed the sky in every part of the entire main world.

The people from the various federations around the world summoned their feys that could produce light or spiritual ingredients that could glow as they looked up nervously at the sky. They assumed that the end of the world was upon them.

In the Azure Federation, the experts from the ten major families levitated in the air. They released azure light that was manipulated using spirit qi into various magnificent feys.

They looked up at the sky with stormy expressions, and it was clear that they were deep in thought.

The azure light from an elderly man turned into an elegant leopard, and he thought, Linlin and the other Radiance Envoys must be more than halfway through their journey to the Radiance Federation. Why has the Radiance Federation suddenly turned the sky dark? Are they starting something big?

A worried expression came over the elderly man's face. He could be worried about what could be stirring in the Radiance Federation or worried for Yin Lin's safety.

Inside an ancient castle with a tiled roof sat an open-air temple made of ivory stone...

There was a large courtyard outside of this temple that was covered with large pieces of sunstones that shrouded the temple with a celestial smattering of light.

Each of the 16 white pillars in the temple was covered with a different gold etching.

These patterns had a special meaning, and anyone who looked at them would find themselves entranced.

It was as though each of the etchings was an ascending road. However, the roads seemed to have been obstructed and could not stretch out smoothly.

The stone pillars reflected light off each other, indicating that they were completing each other.

Every stone pillar had a red statue behind it. However, one of the red statues had been completely crushed. The crushed statue contrasted heavily with the completely spotless temple and white stone pillars.

There were 16 seats and 48 worship pads neatly arranged inside the temple.

Each of the 48 worship pads was occupied by a white-robed elderly man. The 48 white-robed elderly men were looking up at the dark sky. ALL new 𝒄hapters 𝒐n n𝒐v(𝒆)

14 of the 16 seats were occupied by striking figures.

These 14 figures wore long red robes with gold patterns embroidered. All of them were looking up at the sky thoughtfully.

One of the 14 figures played with strands of her hair while stroking the gems embedded on the chair's armrest as she drawled, "Wow, causing a celestial phenomenon. I wonder if it's caused by that phoenix in Heavenly Fey Pavilion or that cold Night Empress in the Radiance Federation."

A steady voice said, "There is a strange aura hidden in this celestial phenomenon. It's clear that it's the work of the Night Empress from the Radiance Federation. Na Na, your eyesight is slipping. Every time your Disaster World Faceless Beast reincarnates, your brain becomes blurry."

The woman rolled her eyes at the golden-haired middle-aged man sitting nearby and said with amusement, "You wouldn't have dared to say this to me before my Disaster World Faceless Beast reincarnated. Chi En, you always use your courage in the best ways."

The golden-haired middle-aged man scoffed and replied, "Na Na, this isn't the first time you're experiencing my courage."

Na Na started to grip the armrest with more force, and the scratching of her red nails on the gems let out an ear-piercing screech.

The woman started to giggle but did not respond to Chi En even when she was done. It was clear that the two of them did not have an amicable relationship.

A chubby man rubbed his protruding belly and said, "The night power is gathering southwest of the Freedom Federation. If I'm right, that is the place that Du Miao gave to the First Emperor Shark Clan from the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors. It looks like the First Emperor Shark Clan offended the Radiance Federation's Night Empress in some way."

The man grinned and chuckled as his eyes shined with scheming intelligence.

Na Na looked at one of the empty chairs and said, "Du Miao worked out a deal with the First Emperor Shark Clan and would rather stay with the First Emperor Shark clan than return to the Freedom Mystic Temple even once a month to pay his respects.

"If the Night Empress is only targeting the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors, I don't think there's any need for us to interfere. The Eight Clans of Sea Emperors are working with Du Miao, and we didn't get any share of the benefits. So, it's natural that he must deal with some consequences himself."

She slowly pulled a jewel-encrusted hairpin out of her red robe and affixed it to the hair covering half of her face. Next, she closed her eyes and continued paying her respects as though the strange celestial phenomenon was not occurring at all.

When the other 13 figures heard what Na Na said, some of them looked amused while others looked deep in thought. All of them had their own opinions.

But eventually, all of them followed in Na Na's lead and closed their eyes to start paying respects.

At that moment, faint figures appeared in the dark sky, and they turned into a mask above the sea southwest of the Freedom Federation.

A black snake curled around the mask and slithered through the holes in the mask.

Suddenly, the mask turned a deep purple, and the snake melded into the mask, with two of the holes on the mask turning into the snake's large eyes.

Soon, it was as though a door had opened in the mask, and shadows flowed out and cascaded down to the sea, staining the water black.

All the life brimming in the sea was snuffed out, and the sea turned into a prison woven from darkness. Any lifeform trapped within the prison would immediately wither.

At that moment, a giant wave 10,000 meters tall rose out of the black sea. A red shark let out a devastating howl from within the enormous wave.

Chapter 1356: Clash Between the Night Empress and the First Emperor Shark Clan

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The shark's howl was accompanied by a dark red color spreading from within the black sea.

Before the giant wave crashed, thousands of red waves shot out toward the sky and pierced the black dome.

The thousands of red waves crashing into the dark purple mask caused cracks to appear in the mask. However, the cracks caused the door to become larger, and even more shadows flowed out and plunged down to the sea.

The giant shark had turned into a tall, well-built man wearing red armor. In his eyes, one could see a mighty aura that seemed capable of controlling the seas. But currently, that mightiness was mixed with fierce hatred.

The sea below him was completely devoid of life. From the surface of the sea to 1,000 meters above the water, there was not even a breath of air available for one to inhale. Moreover, the night power was still laying waste to the sea.

The man opened his mouth, and his mouthful of sharp bulb-shaped teeth made him appear especially threatening.

The man spat out thousands of red sharks toward the purple mask in the sky.

When the thousands of sharks crashed against the purple mask, the number of cracks increased until the mask turned into a mere shadow.

Once the mask in the sky disappeared, the door disappeared as well. However, the dark sky did not lighten in the slightest.

After the red sharks crashed into the purple mask, they dove back into the sea and spun around as violently as possible to produce red waterspouts.

The red waterspouts absorbed the night power from the sea, causing the inky color to fade.

Four or five large sharks jumped out of the sea and transformed into men next to the stocky man.

One of the young men with red and short hair spat furiously, "Second Master, everything that we've been preparing in the sea has been destroyed except for those at the bottom of the sea. After being contaminated by night power, this area of the sea won't be able to recover within a short period."

The First Emperor Shark Clan was a clan of feys from the sea. Their members all had big appetites, and they consumed many sea feys per meal.

Now that the lifeforms in this area of the sea had been affected by the contamination of night power, the First Emperor Shark Clan would have to starve if they remained here.

The man in red armor ignored the red-haired young man and asked an older man next to him, "Number Five, are there any deaths in the clan?" 𝒩eew updates 𝒂t n𝒐vel/bi𝒏.com

The man addressed as Number Five replied, "Besides the team that received ranks that hasn't returned, most of the First Emperor Shark Clan members were at the palace at the bottom of the sea. So, there shouldn't have been many injured or dead."

Number Five looked up at the dark sky and went on to say, "Second Master, the Night Empress from the Radiance Federation used her fully-grown sacred source lifeform to change the celestial phenomenon and target our First Emperor Shark Clan. She publicly broke the agreement between the Radiance Federation and the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors. The Radiance Federation must give us an explanation! Second Master, how about we call a meeting with the other seven sea clans and flood the Radiance Federation?"

The man in red armor glared at Number 5 and snapped, "Nonsense! If we want to flood the Radiance Federation, our First Emperor Shark Clan can do it on its own. But what's the point of drowning the 32 cities if we can't kill all of the Radiance Federation's experts?"

The man in red armor looked increasingly malicious. But at the same time, fear took up a clear portion of his gaze.

The sea was twice as large as the land. This meant that at least 70% of the precious items in the world came from the sea. There was also no chance of the land lifeforms competing with the sea lifeforms. Alas, there were exceptions to everything.

One of the exceptions was that it was easier for humans to become Creation Masters and easier for sacred source lifeforms to increase their Stars. This quality that humans enjoyed was the envy of every group of feys.

Heavenly Family Feys were not included in this comparison as they became the apple of the eye of nature and were able to manipulate celestial phenomena from the moment they unlocked their bloodlines. They could live off what nature gave them!

This was an advantage that humans and normal feys could not hope to compare to and why Heavenly Family Cottage had always been set apart from all the other factions.

The Eight Clans of Sea Emperors had created the agreement with the Radiance Federation because there were sacred source lifeforms there that had reached 10 Stars and above.

The fully-grown sacred source lifeforms could change and attack using celestial phenomena. Such attacks were extremely perilous.

Any federation or large faction that had an expert with a fully-grown sacred source lifeform would be able to gain the respect of the other federations.

The Eight Clans of Sea Emperors also had similar methods. But since they were feys, their ability to manipulate celestial phenomena was equal to the Radiance Federation's ability to manipulate celestial phenomena back when the agreement was signed.

If the Radiance Federation was flooded, the royalty in the Radiance Federation could order their fully-grown sacred source lifeforms to manipulate celestial phenomena and attack the First Emperor Shark Clan.

Unless the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors worked together, no one would be able to survive besides the red-haired man's oldest brother.

When the onslaught of red sharks defeated the mask, Night Leaning Moon's expression turned even colder, and she sighed.

A beautiful ghostly face appeared on her left cheek.

There was a small black-scaled snake shining with purple light slithering on the ghostly face.

Under her veil, Night Leaning Moon's aura became flirty. When she fixed her black eyes on the black snake, her eyes turned purple, and she said softly, "Dark Sky Prajna, Extreme Dark Night and Hundred Ghosts Walking in the Night. Open!"

The sky above the sea southwest of the Freedom Federation suddenly started to ripple with purple light. This made the dark night appear even more dangerous.

As the purple light spread, the man with red armor noticed that the purple masks now covered the sky like stars.

He immediately squatted on the sea's surface, and countless red sharks shot out of his palm. The sharks covered the surface of the sea like a shield.

At the same time, he said anxiously to the red-haired young man, "Go to the palace and tell First Master about this situation. This area of the sea still belongs to the Freedom Federation. There's no way that Du Miao, who has been a guest in the palace these few days, will refuse to help."

The red-haired young man turned back to his original body and dove back into the sea.

Chapter 1357: Ripping the Lasting Night

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The man in red armor went into a defensive stance.

However, the purple masks did not split open and release shadows like last time.

Suddenly, the purple masks shattered. The purple fragments were strangely beautiful.

The purple fragments spread out in the sky before gathering together to form a small purple pagoda with nine levels. Every level of the pagoda had numerous purple prajna masks, and a small black snake was slithering on each of the masks.

Purple ripples billowed out from the purple pagoda. Not long after, the first, second, and third levels lit up, and the small snakes on the three levels slithered into the masks. The holes in the masks turned into the snakes' eyes.

Soon, the sound of something ripping filled the sky, and the sky turned even darker.

Numerous black forms emerged from the ripped three layers of the pagoda.

These black forms let out strange sounds of laughter. When the man in red armor heard the laughter, he felt a crippling fear that came with being plunged into endless darkness.

The man in red armor hurriedly composed himself. Just as he was about to strike, the sea turned red and started to swirl until it eventually formed a gigantic blood-red vortex that extended further than the eye could see.

A millstone slowly emerged from the vortex. As the vortex spun, a low grinding noise could be heard.

A blood-red screen rose from the sea's surface and received the black forms descending from the purple pagoda.

When the black forms made contact with the shield around the blood-red millstone, they were sucked in by an unknown spatial force.

The grinding noise grew louder, and it was as though the millstone was grinding up the black forms.

Now, the red millstone and the purple pagoda in the sky were at a stalemate.

A man even stockier than the man in red armor appeared atop the blood-red millstone. There was also an attractive man with long tangerine-colored hair dressed in a red robe behind the stocky man.

The man with long tangerine-colored hair looked up at the three levels of the purple pagoda in the sky and started to silently play with a golden-red fruit in his hand.

The burly man turned and said to the man with long tangerine-colored hair, "Du Miao, I agreed to your terms, so we should be considered allies now. The Freedom Federation and the Radiance Federation have always been at odds, and your grudge runs deeper than the one between the First Emperor Shark Clan and the First Emperor Ray Clan. My Blood Sea Millstone affects the sea and cannot impact the sky much. I'm not afraid of facing the Night Empress head-on, but I'll need your help to rip open this lasting night."

Du Miao smiled warmly, yet he did not agree to the burly man's request.

"Shark Pride, I never help for free. This applies to my apples as well. You agreed to my request because I also agreed to yours. Ours is a business relationship where both parties benefit. It won't be difficult to rip apart this lasting night. If I help you, what can you give me?"

Shark Pride was not bothered by Du Miao's response.

The First Emperor Shark Clan had worked with the Freedom Federation. This was displayed by how they had moved into the Freedom Federation's sea territory.

In order to work with the royalty in the Freedom Federation, one had to offer them benefits. Everything would become agreeable if enough benefits were provided to satisfy them.

This was where the Freedom Federation differed from the Radiance Federation.

In order to work with the royalty in the Radiance Federation, the collaboration had to benefit the Radiance Federation itself. If one tried to negotiate a deal that would result in the Radiance Federation being negatively affected, it was likely that it would lead to war.

Generally speaking, the Radiance Federation and the Freedom Federation held similar power. However, the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors envied the Radiance Federation much more than the Freedom Federation.

This was the fundamental difference between a set of chopsticks placed apart and a set placed together.

Shark Pride had worked with Du Miao before and knew his expectations for the benefits he wanted to receive, and Shark Awn suggested an acceptable offer.

"I can give you 10% of all the Floating Island Whales our First Emperor Shark Clan possesses. However, you have to convince the Floating Island Whales yourself to agree to transport goods for you."

Du Miao's lip curled to 45 degrees, and he replied, "Your First Emperor Shark Clan sure lives up to their name. You're even using the Floating Island Whales as stakes for your deals. I work with you because I like this about you."

A long whip alight with tangerine fire appeared in Du Miao's hand, and the air around the whip was immediately ignited.

Instead of whipping toward the pagoda in the sky, Du Miao aimed at the dark sky a distance away from the pagoda and said, "Rip it, Lava Abyss Screen Whip!"

The cracking of the whip sent flames shooting toward the dark sky, and the dark sky was immediately set alight.

As the dark sky burned, a hole suddenly opened, and the remnants of light from the setting sun lit up the dark sky.

The sunlight caused the flames to burn with even more fervor, and even more of the dark sky burned up.

Inside the Radiance Federation's imperial court, a bloodthirsty aura rose from Night Leaning Moon as she looked at the burning sky.

"Du Miao, you're the one who prevented me from being by Xiyue's side and fighting alongside her a decade ago. If I burned up my lifespan instead, Xiyue wouldn't have had to." L𝒂aTest nov𝒆ls on (n)𝒐velbi/𝒏.co𝒎

Night Leaning Moon used her spiritual power to activate the black crystal and suddenly split into two.

This caused the purple pagoda to duplicate as well.

One of the purple pagodas charged toward the flames.

The black forms tangled with the flames and prevented the flames from burning up with night power.

However, the splitting of the pagoda also reduced the pressure on the Blood Sea Millstone, and Shark Pride ordered the Blood Sea Millstone to attack the pagoda.

Since the strange celestial phenomenon began, Lin Yuan started studying it closely. He found out from Liu Jie that this was part of the power of Night Leaning Moon's sacred source lifeform.

This was not the first time Lin Yuan witnessed the ability to change celestial phenomena.

Chapter 1358: The Mother of Bloodbath Steps In

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Lin Yuan did not know why Night Leaning Moon wanted to change the celestial phenomenon, there was no question that he would stand with her.

When he sensed the pressure that the sunlight was exerting on the dark sky, Lin Yuan turned to ask the Mother of Bloodbath. "Mother of Bloodbath, you can communicate with the sun now that you've unlocked your Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline. Can you lower the sun's impact on the night power?"

The Mother of Bloodbath did not answer immediately.

If it was Night Leaning Moon who was fighting, it was not a level that the Mother of Bloodbath would be able to influence in any way.

But if Lin Yuan was only asking it to lower the sun's impact on the night power, the Mother of Bloodbath felt that it was doable.

The Mother of Bloodbath tried to communicate with the sun for a moment and said, "Lin Yuan, the sun and I will form a ribbon of sunlight. As long as no one snaps this ribbon, I can prevent the sunlight from shining."

The Moon Empress' cold moon in the sky and double moons in the sky were both natural phenomena.

But in terms of large-scale effect, turning the daytime sky dark was much more impactful than the cold moon or double moons in the sky.

The Mother of Bloodbath was confident it could prevent the sunlight from shining because it had inherited the power of the Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline to control sunlight.

Although the Mother of Bloodbath was only Myth III, it could control sunlight just as well as a fully-grown sacred source lifeform.

However, the ribbon of sunlight could not be broken by other experts. Once it was broken, the Mother of Bloodbath would lose its link to the sun.

Once the Mother of Bloodbath's power reached a certain level, its connection to the sun would become stronger, and it would be able to rely on its own power to protect its link with the sun.

Lin Yuan did not immediately tell the Mother of Bloodbath to contact the sun. Instead, he asked, "Will your safety be compromised if the ribbon of sunlight is broken?"

The Mother of Bloodbath was touched that Lin Yuan cared about its safety. It smiled and said, "If the link is broken, I won't be able to communicate with the sun, but I won't be in any danger unless the expert that produced the fire manipulates celestial phenomenon to attack me directly. We're in the Radiance Federation's Royal Capital. The members of royalty would never allow anyone to try to touch the sky above us."

The Mother of Bloodbath's hair started to glow faintly, and its cold demeanor became more feminine. Soon, the faint light's brightness reached a peak and gathered at the top of the Mother of Bloodbath's head like a crown.

As the evening sky started to take over, it illuminated the dark sky slightly, but the cage of darkness still ruled.

The Mother of Bloodbath was like another sun with its crown of sunlight. With Lin Yuan's mansion at the center, the light from the Mother of Bloodbath's crown lit up half of the Royal Capital and the imperial court.

When the Mother of Bloodbath circulated its spiritual power, the setting sun seemed to have sensed something and started to light up with blinding brilliance. It was as though it was noon instead of the evening.

A ribbon of sunlight descended from the sun and onto the Mother of Bloodbath. The Mother of Bloodbath was awash in sunlight and resembled a sun goddess.

Those who were watching the celestial phenomenon assumed that the sun was going to help the tangerine-colored flames chase away the dark sky. Suddenly, the sunlight retracted.

Du Miao did not use the Lava Abyss Scream whip to attack the purple pagoda because he hoped to rip a hole to expose the sun that would accelerate the flames. The sunlight would also combat the night power, reducing the strength of the night power.

But now that the sunlight had retracted and was no longer helping to diminish the night power, Du Miao's hopes had fallen flat.

Now, the only way he would be able to end the lasting night would be to fly up and combat the two pagodas. UppTodat𝒆d fr𝒐m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

However, Du Miao focused on the sunlight ribbon rather than the purple pagodas.

Du Miao did not have to think much about this.

There were few fully-grown sacred source lifeforms in the world, and the top experts had all crossed swords with each other before as they were all from different camps. There was one member of royalty in the Radiance Federation that could use her sacred source lifeform to produce celestial phenomena related to the sun. Still, it was clear that that member of royalty did not cause this situation because this ribbon of sunlight was too thin. Clearly, the person who had brought upon this ribbon of sunlight was not very strong.

The person was not worthy of owning a 9 Stars sacred source lifeform. Hence, the cause of this ribbon of sunlight could only be a Heavenly Family Fey.

A few hours ago, the sun had released numerous sunlight ribbons down on the Radiance Federation.

Du Miao had also noticed the sun's odd activity, and he knew that there was a Heavenly Family Fey in the Radiance Federation that was awakening its bloodline.

Everything was too coincidental. That Heavenly Family Fey most likely caused this ribbon of sunlight. If that were the case, the situation would be bad!

Everything seemed to be happening due to a grudge between the Radiance Federation and the First Emperor Shark Clan.

Du Miao had the right to interfere because the event was happening in the Freedom Federation's sea territory. But if the matter involved a Heavenly Family Fey, he could make an enemy out of Heavenly Family Cottage if he participated.

Heavenly Family Cottage was very protective of their own.

There used to be a mid-sized federation that wanted to entrap a Heavenly Family Fey that had not reached Diamond grade. That Heavenly Family Fey had been unwilling to be captured and set its bloodline alight to manipulate a celestial phenomenon.

It did not take long for Heavenly Family Cottage to appear, and they forced the federation to give up the Heavenly Family Fey. Moreover, one of the members of Heavenly Family Cottage had caused the federation to lose its food supply for three years as punishment.

This shocking news had spread far and wide, allowing Heavenly Family Cottage to gain notoriety.

Although Heavenly Family Cottage usually kept to themselves, none of its members were to be trifled with when push came to pull.

To Du Miao, benefits were above everything else. As long as there was a prize waiting for him, Du Miao would do anything.

There was a Heavenly Family Fey in Heavenly Family Cottage that could use the sun's power.

Chapter 1359: Ribbon of Sunlight that Snapped in Front of Blood New Moon

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

However, Fifth Page Truth from Tower Canon should have killed this Heavenly Family Fey many years ago.

The smaller federations were unaware of this, but the Freedom Federation was one of the three major factions and was well aware of this.

Could it be that Fifth Page Truth had not killed the Sky Sundial Jade Spider from Heavenly Family Cottage? It could not be! The news could not be wrong, right?

However, there was something odd about this ribbon of sunlight. That member of Heavenly Family Cottage could not produce it.

Everything was strange. Could another sun-type Heavenly Family Fey have appeared in the world after the death of that member of Heavenly Family Cottage?

When Du Miao did not continue attacking but fell deep into thought instead, Shark Pride asked, "Du Miao, we have already agreed on the terms. After you help me to solve this dark night celestial phenomenon, I will give you 10% of First Emperor Shark Clan's Floating Island Whales. You can't go back on the confirmed deal!"

Du Miao raised an eyebrow and replied, "Our deal was based on the premise that I would be dealing with the Night Empress from the Radiance Federation. There was nothing said about involving Heavenly Family Cottage. If a Heavenly Family Fey has joined in, the price you offered is way too low!"

Shark Pride was enraged by what Du Miao said. It could not decide if it was angrier at Du Miao for breaking the agreement or at the ribbon of sunlight.

Du Miao did not care about Shark Pride's attitude at all, but Shark Pride could not wait any longer.

The Night Empress' power was swelling, and she would not be stopping anytime soon.

If Shark Pride had to fight the Night Empress, the offshoots from the fight could put the other members of the First Emperor Shark Clan in danger.

Shark Pride was the First Emperor Shark Clan's general and could not watch its members die before his eyes.

He gnashed its teeth and said, "30%. I will give you 30%! If Heavenly Family Cottage starts trouble, our First Emperor Shark Clan will shoulder the consequences."

Shark Pride's blood energy seeped out from its body and gathered on the Blood Sea Millstone.

The millstone shot out a dark red substance at the sky. It seemed that the dark red substance was the leftover of what the millstone had ground up.

This substance blocked the sun and broke the sunlight ribbon connecting the sun and the Mother of Bloodbath.

Shark Pride chose to do this after careful consideration.

Nothing was more important to Du Miao than benefits, and he would never voluntarily offend Heavenly Family Cottage. Hence, Du Miao would only step in after his concern about revenge from Heavenly Family Cottage had been solved by the First Emperor Shark Clan.

Shark Pride had blocked the link between the Heavenly Family Fey in the Radiance Federation and the sun, but the Heavenly Family Fey had not been injured. Hence, there should be no reason for Heavenly Family Cottage to feel the need to step in.

1

After Du Miao heard what Shark Pride said and saw that the First Emperor Shark Clan had indeed shouldered the possible repercussions from Heavenly Family Cottage, he decided to participate.

Du Miao waved the whip in his hand, and it turned into a giant flaming snake. It was brown and thousands of meters long. Its body was covered with a flowing lava-like moving mantle.

He leaped onto the Lava Abyss Screen Snake's back. He pointed at the sky with his right hand, and the sea beneath him thrashed violently.

An erupting volcano rose from the bottom of the sea. The volcano spat a large amount of lava into the sky and started engaging the night power in a fierce battle. The lava turned into flying snakes that sailed toward the purple pagodas.

Du Miao and Night Leaning Moon started to fight using the celestial phenomena caused by their sacred source lifeforms.

Shark Pride relaxed when it saw Du Miao go all out.

Shark Pride joined the fray by raising the Blood Sea Millstone with one hand and throwing it toward the dark sky.

When Night Leaning Moon sensed the Blood Sea Millstone crashing against the dark sky, she gripped the black crystal so hard that it pierced her palm and drew fresh blood.

The black crystal changed again. But instead of splitting, an unidentifiable figure appeared in the middle of the two black crystals.

At that moment, the fourth level of the pagodas lit up, and a monster flew out of each of the levels.

The two monsters took on the two snakes that flew out of the volcano.

The two pagodas smashed down on the Blood Sea Millstone, and it seemed that the Blood Sea Millstone was going to be smashed into pieces.

As Night Leaning Moon took on two enemies herself, a red-eyed man was soaring above the sea. He completely ignored the fact that the sky had been overtaken by darkness.

A blue-haired girl and man dressed in fishnets flanked the red-eyed man. UppTodat𝒆d fr𝒐m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

The man dressed in fishnets breathed in happily. It was as though he was at ease under the dark sky.

"Blue Lotus, Blood New Moon, the Radiance Federation's night power tastes so good! It's exactly the taste I like. I have to see the Night Empress when we reach the Radiance Federation. Do you think it'll be easy to hook her? Will she like my night power?"

Blood New Moon was wholeheartedly set on finding his daughter and completely ignored White Phoenix.

Blue Lotus smirked when she heard what White Phoenix said. He was utterly sleazy, and even the night power flowing from him started stalling.

The Night Empress from the Radiance Federation was the cream of the crop. If she had any normal standard of beauty and did not have any unusual inclinations, she would never be interested in White Phoenix.

2

Blue Lotus felt that she would be furious if a man dressed in fishnets and had painted nails started courting her. She would start fighting with him if the man was so self-absorbed that he forced himself on her.

The three of them were going to the Radiance Federation with three goals. The first would be to find Blood Love, the second would be to find the Heavenly Family Fey that could absorb various weather phenomena, and the third would be to thank the Moon Empress.

1

If White Phoenix tried to make a move on the Night Empress, he would not only fail but also end up in a fight.

Before Blue Lotus could remind White Phoenix, the three saw the ribbon descending from the sun.

Blood New Moon started to tremble when he saw the ribbon as it proved that his daughter had truly survived thanks to the Moon Empress' protection.

This thin ribbon of sunlight calmed Blood New Moon's nerves.

He did not know his daughter's exact situation, but he knew that his daughter had to be activating the sun to help the Night Empress. Otherwise, the sun would not have narrowed the sunlight instead of spreading it outward.

Before Blood New Moon could properly take in the ribbon of sunlight, he saw a red substance snap it.

Chapter 1360: Reunited 5,000 Miles Away

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This caused Blood New Moon to become unable to sense his daughter through the ribbon of sunlight.

He saw red, and the robe of light from the sunset covered his body.

Now, I can't sense my daughter anymore. How dare he break my daughter's ribbon of sunlight!? How dare you?

Blood New Moon looked up at the sun. It was not shining as bright as it could. Rather, it turned into a round black ball as though an eclipse was taking place.

An exceptionally thick ribbon of sunlight descended from the sun and toward Blood New Moon.

This ribbon of sunlight immediately burned up the red substance shot out by the Blood Sea Millstone.

This allowed the Mother of Bloodbath's ribbon of sunlight to descend again.

The two ribbons of sunlight were extremely far from each other but were echoes of each other.

The Mother of Bloodbath felt an uncontrollable pulse in the Return from Faraway Mansion.

Through communicating with the sun, the Mother of Bloodbath could sense that the other ribbon of sunlight came from the same source as its own. This meant that the other Heavenly Family Fey that had called down this sunlight ribbon was likely to be its family.

The Mother of Bloodbath pursed its lips tightly as it looked at the thick ribbon of sunlight in the distance.

For as long as the Mother of Bloodbath could remember, it had fought for survival on its own in the forest. It knew what it was like to be weak and struggle to fight for food. It never knew what having a family was like.

When it eventually found out that feys came from parents, the Mother of Bloodbath started to wonder why its parents were not by its side.

The lack of parents was one of the major reasons the Mother of Bloodbath's personality had grown so cold and introverted.

It was only when it encountered Lin Yuan that he turned into the source of warmth in the Mother of Bloodbath's heart. This warmth enabled the Mother of Bloodbath to slowly assimilate into the Return From Faraway Mansion's group.

As Mother of Bloodbath spent more time with Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and the rest, it experienced even more warmth.

It always assumed this was what familial kinship felt like.

But looking at the thick belt of sunlight, the Mother of Bloodbath knew that the warmth it had been feeling was different from familial kinship.

Family could not be replaced, even if they had never met. The feeling of a shared bloodline was enough for the Mother of Bloodbath to feel a type of warmth and closeness, unlike anything it had ever felt before.

However, these feelings caused the Mother of Bloodbath to ball its fists tightly. If its father was a powerless fey that had been killed by other feys before the Mother of Bloodbath was old enough to be aware, it would not blame him.

Yet, one of its parents turned out to be a Heavenly Family Fey. Since they were so strong, why did they abandon the Mother of Bloodbath?

Lin Yuan's chest panged when he saw the Mother of Bloodbath's balled fists.

Since Lin Yuan came from another world, it was not difficult for him to guess what the Mother of Bloodbath was thinking. He placed his hand over the Mother of Bloodbath's fist, and the warmth from his palm caused the Mother of Bloodbath's fist to shake. It was as though the heat from his palm had traveled straight to its heart.

"Mother of Bloodbath, do you remember the secret text saying that the Sky Sundial Jade Spider needed to pay a huge price when it became pregnant? If your parents didn't love you, they wouldn't have given birth to you," said Lin Yuan.

If you want to read more chapters, Please visit to experience faster update speed.

Lin Yuan's words came abruptly and hit the Mother of Bloodbath's Achilles heel. Nonetheless, they were still effective.

The Mother of Bloodbath grabbed Lin Yuan's hand as though it could gain strength from the heat coming from his palm.

Soon, the crown on the Mother of Bloodbath's head started to shine with sunlight.

The ribbon of sunlight linking the Mother of Bloodbath and the sun started to twirl and twist as though it was greeting the thick ribbon of sunlight.

The Mother of Bloodbath was not one for subtlety. Since the ribbon of sunlight might have been connected to one of its parents, it had to ask the reason for its abandonment and finally gain closure.

Blood New Moon was ready to teach the Blood Sea Millstone that had snapped his child's ribbon of sunlight a lesson.

But when he saw the thin ribbon of sunlight twisting, he felt tears brimming in his eyes. As much as he looked forward to finding his and Jade Sundial's child, he was just as terrified that the child would resent him.

Blood New Moon had become a Heavenly Family Fey and a member of Heavenly Family Cottage. There were very few things in the world that he could not achieve. However, all the power in the world would be useless against his child's emotional damage.

He was afraid that he would not have the courage to meet the child's rage-filled eyes when they met.

Love could cause a loving father to become fearful.

But now that his child had taken the initiative, Blood New Moon could not help but increase his speed.

Blood New Moon's eyes shone brightly, and his robe of sunset light spread out 50 leagues across the sea.

The ribbon of sunlight between Blood New Moon and the sun started to twist quickly. One moment the ribbon was twisting, and it became a ball of strands in the next. It was as though the ribbon of sunlight was being playful, and everyone looking at this celestial phenomenon was gawking with their jaws dropped.

Many experts watching the sunlight ribbon assumed that Blood New Moon had gone insane.

However, this did not include Blue Lotus, White Phoenix, or the other members of Heavenly Family Cottage. No one knew better how much of a loving father Blood New Moon was than the members of Heavenly Family Cottage. He longed to see his child so badly that he would even willingly give up his life to do so.

Blue Lotus and White Phoenix patted Blood New Moon's shoulders and said to him with congratulations and delight in their eyes.

This would be the motivation for the rest of Blood New Moon's life. RE𝒂ad updated st𝒐ries at n/𝒐

Now that he had ties to consider, he would not center his life around getting revenge for Jade Sundial.

Sister Jade Sundial's child was found, and the child placed as much importance on relationships as Sister Jade Sundial did. It chose to take the initiative to greet Blood New Moon. This was great! If only Sister Jade Sundial was still alive, their family of three would be complete.

Unfortunately, the dead could not be brought back to life, and this was the iron law of the world. This was also applicable to Heavenly Family Feys, who were favored by nature.

The Mother of Bloodbath's heart skipped a beat when it saw the thick ribbon of sunlight responding immediately. This response was the warmest jetstream of water that melted the ice around the Mother of Bloodbath's heart.

From the reaction of the thick ribbon of sunlight, the Mother of Bloodbath knew that its parents cared for it. After all, the feelings it sensed from the sun could not be a lie.

The Mother of Bloodbath and Blood New Moon reunited despite being 5,000 meters apart.

Shark Pride's expression was extremely sour.

What is Heavenly Family Cottage's intention? Have they already formed an alliance with the Radiance Federation and want to join forces to attack our First Emperor Shark Clan together? This shouldn't be! There's no reason for the Radiance Federation and Heavenly Family Cottage to attack us. We are one of the top three sea clans of the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors and have the right to represent all the sea clans.

Chapter 1361: Gold Leaf Boiling Balloon Flower

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Heavenly Family Cottage would not gain any benefits by attacking the First Emperor Shark Clan. However, the seemingly eclipsed sky was the glaring truth.

If Shark Pride did not step in quickly to receive Heavenly Family Cottage's revenge, Du Miao might stop acting soon.

Hence, Shark Pride had no choice but to release its true power.

Shark Pride smiled evilly as he watched the Blood Sea Millstone and the two purple pagodas locked in a stalemate. L𝒂aTest nov𝒆ls on (n)𝒐velbi/𝒏.co𝒎

Night Leaning Moon thinks too much of herself if she thinks using her sacred source lifeform to fight with its celestial phenomenon is sufficient. If she were here fighting me personally, I would be afraid. Both of us are pinnacle experts. She's daydreaming if she thinks that she can kill me from so far away.

Shark Pride walked on the surface of the sea. The sea beneath it turned red with every step that it took.

It turned into its main body and flew toward the Blood Sea Millstone. When the two made contact, they fused, and a shark with a rope around it appeared in front of the Blood Sea Millstone.

The sea of blood gathered under the millstone.

The shark wagged its tail, and an immense amount of night energy was sucked into the millstone and immediately ground up.

The red residue left over from the ground-up night power turned into giant thorn-covered hands that lunged toward the purple pagodas.

One of the purple pagodas failed to dodge and was trapped in the dark red giant hands' grip.

The giant hands tried to drag the pagoda into the millstone.

The black forms that had emerged from the first three layers of the pagodas flew to the giant hands, and both sides started to engage in an aggressive tug-of-war.

Inside the imperial court of the Radiance Federation, Night Leaning Moon sat expressionlessly as she held onto the Dark Sky Prajna. Her grip was so tight that the veins in her hand turned white.

Just as she was about to activate the Dark Sky Prajna again, she sensed a pure wave of night energy shooting into the sky. This night power was enough to aid the Dark Sky Prajna.

Night Leaning Moon allowed the Dark Sky Prajna to receive and use the night power. With the help of the night power, the purple pagoda had enough power to wrench free of the dark red hands.

Another unidentifiable black demon flew out of the fourth level of the pagoda. Shark Pride widened his eyes as he was confused by Night Leaning Moon's sudden eruption of power.

At that moment, Blood New Moon was standing beside White Phoenix in his true form. Thick night power rose from White Phoenix's feathers and rose up to the night sky.

Blue Lotus' expression shifted slightly when she saw White Phoenix injecting night power into the sky.

As much as Du Miao did not want to cross Heavenly Family Cottage, the latter did not want to make an enemy of the Freedom Federation either.

Blood New Moon had activated the sun and called down the ribbon of sunlight because the Blood Sea Millstone had snapped his child's ribbon of sunlight. Hence, his action was justifiable.

However, White Phoenix's actions plainly displayed support for the Radiance Federation's Night Empress.

The Freedom Federation prioritized benefits, but they were not weak. If their benefits were threatened, their royalty would go mad.

Nonetheless, Blue Lotus did not say a word to White Phoenix as the Moon Empress had done Heavenly Family Cottage a massive favor by helping Blood Love to survive the awakening of her Heavenly Family Fey bloodline. Hence, no matter White Phoenix's illogical actions, she did not stop him.

When White Phoenix saw Blue Lotus' expression, he said seriously, "The Night Empress' night power has completely blanketed the night sky. Only she will be able to sense the night power I'm sending to the sky. As long as she doesn't mention anything, no one from the sea clans or the Freedom Federation will find out.

"The Night Empress helped Sister Jade Sundial and Blood New Moon in the past. If not for her, Little Love would probably have been killed by Fifth Page Truth, and Blood New Moon would have been killed. One of the reasons for our visit to the Radiance Federation is to find that Heavenly Family Fey that can absorb weather. We have no idea what the situation is. We might need help from the royalty to make it easier for us to find that Heavenly Family Fey in the Radiance Federation."

Blue Lotus nodded and had a feeling that the Radiance Federation and Heavenly Family Cottage were going to become close soon.

Du Miao squinted at the purple pagodas and the night sky. He could not tell what was different, but his sixth sense told him that this abrupt skyrocket in power was not normal.

He had already secured benefits through working with the First Emperor Shark Clan.

Besides the possibility of being dragged into the matter, he also would not be able to receive his benefits if the First Emperor Shark Clan was destroyed.

The First Emperor Ray Clan would definitely target the First Emperor Shark Clan.

If that happened, he would no longer be able to gain resources from the First Emperor Shark Clan.

Since the First Emperor Shark Clan had shouldered the resentment from Heavenly Family Cottage, Du Miao would take it upon himself to handle the Night Empress.

Since the Night Empress dared to cause such a large commotion in the sea near the Freedom Federation's territory, no one could blame Du Miao for releasing roiling lava onto the Radiance Federation.

Du Miao's tangerine-colored hair danced in the wind like a burning flame. It was as though there was lava flowing in his hair.

"Bloom, Gold Leaf Boiling Balloon Flower!" shouted Du Miao.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪʙʀᴇᴀᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ. website.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of stars appeared in the dark sky. But how could these stars be appearing in a sky so dark that it even blocked out the sunlight?

It did not take long for the things in the sky that people in the main world assumed were stars to expand until they became flower seeds rapidly. However, instead of sprouting, the seeds bloomed into gorgeous five-petal flowers.

The edges of the petals were light yellow, and the color became increasingly brighter as they approached the center of the flower. The center of the flower was a fiery tangerine color.

These flowers did not have buds and seemed to be brewing something. Soon, the flower cores turned into enormous volcanoes that decorated the sky.

The volcanoes were boiling and releasing large amounts of tangerine-red lava.

These petals appeared above the Radiance Federation, and the lava started raining down.

Previously, Night Leaning Moon had not unleashed the Dark Sky Prajna's full power as she attacked the First Emperor Shark Clan. Now, Du Miao's Gold Leaf Boiling Balloon Flower was releasing a shower of lava in retaliation.

The lava was like a disaster that arrived so swiftly that the people in the Radiance Federation did not have time to react.

Even emperor-class experts felt that they were insignificant in the face of such power.

At that moment, the elderly man sitting in the Radiance Federation's imperial court jumped to his feet. He grabbed the cane next to the chair and gently rapped it on the ground.

Chapter 1362: Giant Tree Growing From the Radiance Federation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

One small, delicate branch sprouted from the chair and tunneled out of the imperial court.

The roots planted themselves in the soil in the imperial court, and the branch continued to grow longer and longer.

10 meters, 100 meters, 1,000 meters, 10,000 meters, and 100,000 meters. Eventually, the tree became as thick as a dragon's torso and grew lush golden leaves like phoenix feathers. This tree covered the entire Radiance Federation.

It turned into a sturdy and protective umbrella that sheltered the Radiance Federation from the rain of lava.

The tree stretched millions of meters, shone with golden light, and received the lava falling from the sky. The tens of thousands of branches stretching from the tree and its golden leaves resembled bolts of lightning that cupped balloon flowers of lava.

It did not take long for the golden leaves to be crushed by the lava.

A look of terror came over Du Miao's face when he saw the enormous golden tree growing out of the Radiance Federation.

While Du Miao was considering whether he should continue, a raspy elderly voice boomed from the ancient golden tree. "The First Emperor Shark Clan had the gall to attack someone from the Radiance Federation over the ownership of a whale fall right outside of Raging Waves City.

"First, the Emperor Shark Clan publicly broke the agreement between the Radiance Federation and the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors and trampled all over it like it was no different than trash.

"Within a month, the First Emperor Shark Clan must send someone to the Radiance Federation to settle this matter!

"The Gold Leaf Boiling Balloon Flower has reached pinnacle 10 Stars and has the strong ability to manipulate a celestial phenomenon. However, it should not be used against the Radiance Federation. I implanted the Radiant Source Imprint in the Gold Leaf Boiling Balloon Flower. It can be removed in a year. If it's removed forcefully, you can face the consequences yourself."

Now, every living creature in the main world, from all factions and federations large and small, knew why this fight was happening.

Du Miao had noticed a change in the Gold Leaf Boiling Balloon Flower even before the raspy elderly voice spoke, but he had not had the chance to investigate the golden imprint.

When he heard the elderly man say that this was the Radiant Source Imprint, he looked extremely upset.

Another elderly voice spoke from the Freedom Federation's Freedom Mystic Temple. However, this voice sounded much more sly than the kind voice that had come from the ancient golden tree.

"The Radiance Federation started it. Although the First Emperor Shark Clan residing in the Freedom Federation has a grudge with the Radiance Federation, that does not justify the Radiance Federation taking action in our sea territory. But since Du Miao has also retaliated against you, we can consider this matter equalized. We can talk again during the Major Federation Meeting."

It had indeed been inappropriate for Night Leaning Moon to attack the First Emperor Shark Clan in the Freedom Federation's territory. However, it had been to settle a grudge.

It was different from how the Gold Leaf Boiling Balloon Flower had unleashed lava on the 32 cities in the Radiance Federation.

The elderly man from the Freedom Mystic Temple was clearly distorting the facts. He also had not mentioned the Radiant Source Imprint, which made it clear that he did not care about Du Miao's benefits at all.

However, the elderly man had voiced an important point.

The enmity between the Radiance Federation and the Freedom Federation had been ongoing for some time.

One of the Freedom Federation's royalty had died in the Moon Empress' hands, and she in turn had paid the horrible price of having her lifespan shortened to only three more years ten years ago. The bad blood between them ran too deep to be resolved.

1

If they truly started a clash to death, the entire main world would be destroyed in the process. UppTodat𝒆d fr𝒐m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

Hence, in order for one of them to emerge victorious, the best plan would be for each federation to send out a team to fight against each other at the Major Federation Meeting.

The elderly voice from the giant golden tree calmly agreed.

At this point, Night Leaning Moon and Shark Pride had halted their attacks.

The voice from the Freedom Federation said, "Since we're going to fight it out at the Major Federation Meeting, we should make it more exciting. If the Radiance Federation loses, I want you to set up Star Web in the Freedom Federation."

The voice from the ancient golden tree calmly replied, "If the Freedom Federation loses, you will give up one complete Class 5 Creation Master path legacy to the Radiance Federation."

The elderly voice from the Freedom Federation agreed without hesitation. It was as though he had set up countless schemes which led him to utter the words of agreement. It seemed that the Freedom Federation had absolute confidence that they were going to win the fight.

This fight between the top experts of the world who had used their fully-grown sacred source lifeforms shocked every lifeform in the world and the factions that lacked fully-grown sacred source lifeforms. These factions now knew how important fully-grown sacred source lifeforms were.

1

However, the shock they felt about the fight could not compare to the overwhelming excitement they felt when they heard the stakes of the battle.

Star Web was the Radiance Federation's specialty and completely unique to them.

Star Web was a coincidental creation that came from three sacred source lifeforms. One of them had been a fully-grown sacred source lifeform.

If the Freedom Federation wanted the Radiance Federation to bet Star Web, it would be the equivalent of asking the Radiance Federation to give up the second world that they prided themselves on.

Any federation that possessed Star Web would be able to expand rapidly.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the ʟɪʙʀᴇᴀᴅ.ᴄᴏᴍ. website.

However, the Freedom Federation's stake was equally astonishing.

The Memory Stone was one of the Freedom Federation's Secure Federation Treasures. It could copy all of an expert's legacy on that expert's death bed.

The complete legacy of one Class 5 Creation Master was stored in the Memory Stone. If this legacy was released, the Memory Stone would lose access to it forever.

This stake was the equivalent of the Freedom Federation giving up one Class 5 Creation Master.

It was difficult to say whether a Class 5 Creation Master or Star Web was more precious. One of them benefited all the people in a federation while the other benefited the federation's experts. Regardless, these stakes were world-shattering.

Two years later, it seemed that the fight at the Major Federation Meeting would be at the peak of fierce intensity because neither federation could afford to lose its stake.

Everything reverted to peace. The night power faded away to reveal the setting sun, and the spring breeze was still warm.

However, Shark Pride and the First Emperor Shark Clan members beside it were exceptionally stern.

At that moment, Shark Pride was utterly befuddled. It was clear that the Radiance Federation's Night Empress had attacked the First Emperor Shark Clan first. So how had it become the First Emperor Shark Clan who had broken the agreement first?

Shark Pride asked the man in red armor, who bore some similar features to Shark Pride and asked, "Second Brother, who did we assign our territory that's closest to the Radiance Federation to?"

The man in red armor was momentarily speechless.

Chapter 1363: The Faith Power has Stopped Increasing

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As one of the top three clans in the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors, the First Emperor Shark Clan had an abundance of sea resources. There was no need for their members to take up territory near the federations.

The man in red armor was in charge of the members' assignment of territories, and he did not remember assigning any territory that was near to the Radiance Federation.

Moreover, the First Emperor Shark Clan had moved to the Freedom Federation's territory, and many members had been recalled. There were very few of them left outside of the territory.

Suddenly, the man in red armor thought about his third younger sister, Shark Awn.

Shark Awn had grown up spoiled by their oldest brother. When it voiced its unwillingness to return, their oldest brother had permitted it. Shark Awn had not been assigned any territory because, as the oldest princess of the First Empress Shark Clan, Shark Awn was free to go to any part of the First Emperor Shark Clan's territory.

Could it have gone to the sea near the Radiance Federation, tried to kill someone from the Radiance Federation for some reason, and was found out?

Given Shark Dominate's understanding of Shark Awn, it was possible that it would go as far as to break the agreement for the sake of sufficient benefits.

Shark Pride noticed Shark Dominate's look of contemplation and could not help but ask, "Second Brother, don't hold back your thoughts and speak them out. If the Radiance Federation is trying to frame us, we must teach them a lesson."

Shark Dominate shook its head. If the Radiance Federation was truly trying to frame the First Emperor Shark Clan, the other sea clans would be sure to set their differences with the First Emperor Shark Clan aside to band together for the sake of securing the overall might and benefits of all sea clans.

However, if the First Emperor Shark Clan was at fault, they would be doomed if they allowed the Radiance Federation to seek leverage.

Additionally, the other sea clans were not reliable. The First Emperor Ray Clan would definitely seize the opportunity to deal the First Emperor Shark Clan a blow.

Eventually, Shark Dominate told Shark Pride about his guess.

Shark Pride's expression changed when he heard what Shark Dominate said. It knew that this was probably the truth.

But it seemed too ludicrous! It only involved the lives of a few normal people. Why did it warrant such serious repercussions? It seemed that this trip to the Radiance Federation would be slightly sticky.

Just as Shark Pride was wondering if it should go to the Radiance Federation personally, Shark Dominate said, "Big Brother, we still need to move the clan."

It glanced at the austere-faced Du Miao and continued. "You have to be here for the collaboration with the Freedom Federation. I shall be the one to go to the Radiance Federation. The Radiance Federation is one of the three major factions and must be appropriately gracious. Their royalty can't detain me."

Shark Pride nodded. Although it did not want to send Shark Dominate into danger, it was undoubtedly more suitable for Shark Dominate to go.

Shark Pride pointed at the young man with short red hair and said, "East, go with your Second Uncle and remember to listen to what he says."

The young man with short red hair hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Father. I will follow Second Uncle's words to a tee."

Shark Pride nodded in satisfaction, but Shark Dominate's brows were furrowed.

By sending Shark East on this journey, Shark Pride was trying to strengthen Shark East's authority in the First Emperor Shark Clan. VịSit no(v)3lb/!n.c𝒐m for new 𝒏ov𝒆l𝒔

Shark Pride's trying to set up Shark East to become the next leader! It seems that he has no clue what kind of person his son is. Shark East might be docile and obedient when you're around. But he becomes extremely pompous once he's out of your eye line. I hope he doesn't cause any trouble on this trip to the Radiance Federation.

2

Whenever Shark East encountered members from the other seven clans of Sea Emperors, it could throw the First Emperor Shark Clan's status in their faces. However, this behavior would not fly in the Radiance Federation.

However, since Shark Pride had instructed Shark East to go, there was nothing that Shark Dominate could do. It knew that it would have to give Shark East pointers and advise it to exercise self-restraint.

The Radiance Federation's threatening command was directed not just at the First Emperor Shark Clan but also the other seven clans of Sea Emperors.

Currently, the other seven clans all had their own ideas about how they should address the matter of the agreement when they went to the Radiance Federation.

At that moment, every person in the Radiance Federation had their head craned toward the sky as they watched the giant golden tree shrink until it finally disappeared.

Lin Yuan's thoughts were in a jumble.

On the one hand, this fight between royalty had shown him how weak he was. They would deeply impact only those affected by celestial phenomena.

Unless he had a fully-grown sacred source lifeform, he would always fall short of pinnacle experts.

The Sacred Sword Wielding Queen was only 3 Stars, and it would be some time before it could evolve to 4 Stars. Lin Yuan had no clue when it would finally be able to evolve into a fully-grown sacred source lifeform.

Luckily, he had amassed so many Law Source Crystals that he did not have to worry for now. However, his stock would eventually be used up, and he would need to search for more.

From a certain angle, this incident deepened Lin Yuan's yearning to leave the marsh world and work with the major cities.

On the other hand, the voice from the giant tree deepened the sense of belonging that Lin Yuan felt toward the Radiance Federation.

Shark Awn had targeted Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and An He. However, the voice that had settled the matter did not mention that they were the disciples of royalty. This meant that the person was quietly protecting every person in the Radiance Federation, normal or otherwise.

This was the graciousness of the Radiance Federation and the graciousness of royalty! This sense of responsibility could not be held up by shoulders. It was a promise to every single person in the Radiance Federation.

Lin Yuan felt that it was worth protecting a federation like this.

The Mother of Bloodbath saw the thick and moving ribbon of sunlight and snapped its own link to the sun.

Since they were already acquainted, the Mother of Bloodbath only had to wait to reunite with its family.

Lin Yuan fell asleep in the mansion after eating the delicious food Liu Jie had prepared.

When he woke up, he noticed that the faith power in his shrine had stopped increasing.

Lin Yuan found this to be strange. He logged onto Star Web and checked the forums and posts.

This allowed him to understand.

There were three main topics being discussed on Star Web.

First was the strange celestial phenomena that had taken place yesterday. The second was the scuffle between the Radiance Federation and the Freedom Federation. The third was the startling stakes for the Major Faction Meeting that would take place two years later.

These three topics were so overwhelmingly popular that they squashed all other possible topics.

Chapter 1364: Where is Gao Feng?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan knew that even if he used his status as the Moon Empress' disciple now to convince Sky City's City Lord to give up on targeting Connected Beast Park, it would not help in the slightest.

He would only be able to snatch back the popularity stolen by these three events after he waited for the buzz surrounding them to calm down.

However, this matter could not be dragged on for too long, or else the original fires of interest would be extinguished forever.

1

Hence, Lin Yuan planned on waiting for a few days until he was just about to leave for the Divine Wood Federation, during which he would handle the tasks in the Radiance Federation before helping Connected Beast Park.

However, he had no clue that Connected Beast Park no longer wanted his help.

At first, Miao Zhenshan had been increasingly frantic. The prideful Connected Beast Park acted like he was possessed as he continued to check the forums on Star Web despite knowing that they were filled with insults for our Bon

When Miao Zhenshan woke up this morning, he logged into Star Web as per usual and was promptly stunned.

What was going on? Miao Zhenshan wondered if his eyes were deceiving him.

Miao Zhenshan clicked through a few pages and noticed that none of the content mentioned Connected Beast Park.

He quickly understood that it was because the events of last night had completely taken over. It would take some time for the matter to die down, and Connected Beast Park would not be mentioned again for the foreseeable future.

Before Miao Zhenshan could fill up with joy, he remembered Lin Yuan had promised to help.

If Lin Yuan helped now, the hate comments would return.

Miao Zhenshan wanted nothing more than to call Lin Yuan to tell him not to help. However, he dared not voice this thought as it would be the equivalent of teasing the Moon Empress' disciple.

If the Moon Empress' disciple became angry and decided to target Connected Beast Park, Connected Beast Park would reach an even lower point.

...

Lin Yuan looked through his groups on Star Web and saw that Gu Lang and Zong Ze had mentioned Liu Jie to ask him about yesterday's events.

Night Leaning Moon had thrown the first stick yesterday.

Zong Ze and Gu Lang's Master had gone to the Radiance Federation's imperial court to attend a meeting at the crack of dawn. 𝒩ewW 𝒏ovels upd𝒂tes on nov/𝒆l/b(i)𝒏.com

Chef Supreme and the Bamboo Monarch were also confused about what had happened yesterday.

If Zong Ze and Gu Lang wanted to learn what had happened, the best option would be to ask Liu Jie.

Before Lin Yuan could speak up in the group, he saw that Liu Jie had responded.

Liu Jie: [This matter was started because a member of the First Emperor Shark Clan attacked first in the sea near Raging Waves City. Lin Yuan and I were right outside Raging Waves City. However, I had no time to tell Master about this matter at all, so I'm unclear on the details too.]

Long Tao, Li Xuan, Sun Ningxiang, and the rest popped out of the woodwork.

All of the members of the group had formed a faction together because of their links to Lin Yuan. They had all become friends when they met at Zong Ze's home.

Zong Ze and Gu Lang did not try to hide anything from Long Tao, Li Xuan, and Sun Ningxiang while they spoke in the group.

Long Tao, Li Xuan, and Sun Ningxiang knew to pull away when the topics included disciples of royalty.

However, this matter included Liu Jie and Lin Yuan's safety, and the three of them could not hold back.

Lin Yuan smiled at his friends' concern.

Lin Yuan: [Thank you for all your concern. We're both fine. By the way, where's Gao Feng?]

Gao Feng was the most personable in the group and usually the most active in the group.

However, he had basically been radio silent over the last two weeks. When he did appear, it was usually at night.

Lin Yuan mentioned Gao Feng but received no reply even after some time had passed.

At this moment, Sun Ningxiang wrote: [Lin Yuan, Grandma and I will reach the Royal Capital tomorrow. She has been thanking you throughout the entire journey. Will you be free tomorrow? There are some things I would like to say to you.]

Lin Yuan hurriedly messaged back.

Lin Yuan: [Since you brought your grandmother over, I'll definitely have time. I'll send you my address, and you can come right over. Didn't you say that Liu Jie is a great cook? Let him know whatever you feel like eating.]

1

Lin Yuan had not prepared much for Sun Ningxiang's arrival. They had known each other for such a long time that he did not need to bring out the fine china for a private meal with her.

Sun Ningxiang smiled as brightly as the summer sun when she saw Lin Yuan's response.

Liu Yuan signed when she saw Sun Ningxiang's expression.

Lin Yuan needed to speak to Li Xuan and Long Tao about a slightly complicated matter. It would not be suitable to speak about it in the group.

He was about to call them when Gao Feng suddenly appeared.

Gao Feng: [Friends, the First Emperor Shark Clan is too wicked! My Master said that Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and An He almost died at the hands of a female expert from the First Emperor Shark Clan. I'm so glad both of you are fine. What are the rest of us supposed to do if anything happens to the two of you? By the way, I've been learning from Master, and I'm only allowed to rest at night. I'm taking a break today because Master attended a meeting at the Royal Capital. If any of you need to speak with me, just call me! I might not always be able to see your messages in the group even if you mention me.]

Lin Yuan decided to privately message Gao Feng since Gao Feng had appeared. He told Gao Feng to take over the Sea Bliss Clan's territory in Raging Waves City as well as the island outside of Raging Waves City.

Lin Yuan had formed a rising faction with Gao Feng, and they held equal ownership and were considered co-bosses.

It would be more suitable for Lin Yuan to give the Sea Bliss Clan to Gao Feng instead of taking over and managing the Sea Bliss Clan himself.

When Gao Feng saw Lin Yuan's message, he immediately guessed that Lin Yuan was Sky City's City Lord.

Lin Yuan had no intention of hiding from Gao Feng. He had been friends with Gao Feng much longer than he had been friends with Li Xuan and Long Tao.

Although Lin Yuan and Long Tao had exchanged numbers long ago, they had not interacted much.

Gao Feng had helped Lin Yuan many times.

Without Gao Feng, Lin Yuan would never have been able to obtain the young Elemental Shellfish and start amassing resources.

These initial resources enabled Lin Yuan to continue to snowball resources.

Lin Yuan was able to obtain the Floating Island Whale because of Gao Feng.

Chapter 1365: Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragon

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At the Guard Ye Banquet, Gao Feng had stood with Lin Yuan against Miao Zhuo without hesitation despite not knowing about Lin Yuan's status.

The Gao and Miao families were top factions, but there was a significant gap between them.

Connected Beast Park was one of the top-ranked top factions, while the Gao family could be considered a bottom feeder.

Gao Feng risked causing problems for the Gao family by siding with Lin Yuan.

A person's reaction in times of difficulty revealed their true selves.

From that moment, Lin Yuan opened his heart to Gao Feng as his friend.

Gao Feng was shocked when he discovered that Lin Yuan was Sky City's City Lord. But at the same time, he felt it was to be expected. After all, he had witnessed too many miracles from Lin Yuan.

There was no question that Gao Feng would not reveal this information.

He had always been grateful to Lin Yuan. Without Lin Yuan and Liu Jie, he would never have been able to become the disciple of a member of royalty.

Lin Yuan called Long Tao after ending the call with Gao Feng.

Long Tao picked up after the call rang three times.

Long Tao was surprised that Lin Yuan was calling him because everyone was still chatting in the group.

Did Lin Yuan want to ask about the Emperor Armored Martial God Insect?

Recently, many alien insects that were as strong as Myth Breed feys had flown out of the Class 4 alien insect dimensional rifts under Coiling Dragon's Valley's control. However, none of them had been the Emperor Armored Martial God Insect, and there was nothing that Long Tao could do about the situation.

"Big Brother Long, Coiling Dragon's Valley has been nurturing dragon-species feys. Do you know which dragon-species feys are easy to maintain and have large livers?" asked Lin Yuan.

Long Tao was stunned.

It was true that Coiling Dragon's Valley nurtured dragon-species feys. However, they rarely bought and sold dragon-species spiritual ingredients. Even if they did sell some dragon-species spiritual ingredients, it was because the dragon-species fey was too far gone for Creation Masters to save it, and there was no other choice but to extract spiritual ingredients from it.

From Lin Yuan's question, Long Tao knew that Lin Yuan probably needed dragon-species feys' livers.

Instead of replying to Lin Yuan, Long Tao asked, "Brother, do you have any requirements for the dragon-species fey that provides the liver?"

Lin Yuan thought about Shiny's current power and replied, "I don't have high expectations for the bloodline as long as they're pure flood-dragon-species and terrifying-dragon-species

Long Tao choked.

This wasn't considered high expectations?

King-class experts were able to increase the purity of their dragon-species feys to pure flood-dragon-species or terrifying-dragon-species.

Suppose Lin Yuan wanted to breed flood-dragon-species and pure terrifying-dragon-species feys with the intention of harvesting their livers. In that case, Long Tao could not imagine the immense amount of resources that would have to go into this endeavor.

Besides the food costs, an enormous amount of Creation Master resources would have to go into increasing the purity of a dragon-species fey's bloodline.

Moreover, he wanted to nurture the dragon-species feys not to sell them but to harvest their livers. Once a dragon-species fey's liver was removed, the dragon-species fey would definitely die, and their body would only be useful if it was separated into spiritual ingredients and sold off.

2

No matter how expensive spiritual ingredients that came from a dragon-species fey were, Lin Yuan would not be able to break even.

Lin Yuan did know which pure flood-dragon-species and terrifying-dragon-species feys were easier to breed. The dragon-species fey he had in mind was large, and its liver had to be of proportional size. UppTodat𝒆d fr𝒐m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

"Brother, there is a fey called the Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragon. It's very easy to breed, but it grows in size very quickly. As long as it consumes feys with large amounts of flesh, it will reach full size once its power evolves to Gold grade. At full size, the Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragon is almost 20 meters long, nine meters long, and its liver weighs almost 100 kilograms. It has the Ancient Explosive Dragon bloodline and is considered one of the more violent pure terrifying-dragon-species feys.

"Its liver is in charge of its emotions, and it has strong medicinal properties. Its liver is considered valuable in the spiritual ingredient market. If you want to harvest a pure terrifying-species fey's liver, the Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragon is the best choice.

"Coiling Dragon's Valley is currently nurturing Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragons. One of the breeder Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragons died recently, leaving six of its eggs. The six eggs all have the potential to become breeders," said Long Tao.

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

Flood-dragon-species feys did not like to interact, while terrifying-dragon-species feys were always passionate and left behind many descendants.

However, the eggs produced by a terrifying-species fey about to die produced offspring with the best genes.

Given that Coiling Dragon's Valley was a top faction, the breeder dragon they chose was definitely of good quality. Hence, the genes of the six Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragons had to be outstanding.

Lin Yuan decided to feed the Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragon's liver to Shiny.

"Big Brother Long, you mentioned that you wanted to start a rising faction. Why don't you work with me to nurture the Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragons?" said Lin Yuan.

Long Tao's eyes lit up. He never expected Lin Yuan to invite him when it came to such matters. This was his chance!

He immediately agreed and said, "It will be good if I can start a rising faction on my own, but even better if I can start one with you. I have limited Creation Master resources on hand. I'll only be able to supply one Class 4 Creation Master and five Class 3 Creation Masters to nurture the Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragon. After the Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragon's liver is harvested, the rest of its body can be carefully separated and sold as spiritual ingredients. I have experience in managing, breeding, extracting, separating, and selling dragon-species feys, so leave it all to me."

Long Tao's voice was clear as he listed all the contributions he could provide to the faction. Lin Yuan felt relaxed working with Long Tao and said, "Big Brother Long, let me provide the Creation Master resources. I will have to trouble you for the other tasks."

Long Tao was taken aback by Lin Yuan's nonchalant attitude toward Creation Master resources. He only had to provide labor.

He could not take advantage of Lin Yuan during their collaboration, so he said, "If that's the case, you can have 70% ownership of the rising faction while I'll just take 30%."

Long Tao was sincere, but Lin Yuan said, "Big Brother Long, since we're starting a faction together, we should each have 50% ownership. My need for the quality of the dragon liver will only increase in the future, and there'll be no lack of work for you."

However, Long Tao still insisted on only taking 30%.

Chapter 1366: Nirvana Phoenix Flower

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Eventually, Lin Yuan said, "Why don't we do this, Big Brother Long? I'll take whatever dragon-species spiritual ingredients I need from the faction in the future. I will probably need a large amount of dragon-species spiritual ingredients in the future. If we each take 50% ownership, I'll actually be the one taking advantage of you."

Long Tao gave in.

When they hung up the call, he rushed off to handle the affairs related to setting up a faction.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan acted the same way he did when he started a faction with Gao Feng and leaned back to relax.

Now that he had settled the issue of dragon liver, only the phoenix blood was left. It would not be as easy to solve the issue of the phoenix blood because he only wanted to use the blood from main-phoenix-species feys.

But now that Lin Yuan was going to nurture main-dragon-species feys' livers, he could not afford to do so. Given his current situation, he had no choice but to lower his standard.

Unlike essence blood, extracting phoenix blood would not put the main-phoenix-species fey in danger. At the very most, the main-phoenix-species fey would be weak for some time if too much blood was drawn from it.

As for the avenue through which he would obtain the main-phoenix-fey blood, only Dark Clouds Bird Shrine came to his mind.

Previously, Lin Yuan and Dark Clouds Bird Shrine had traded for Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls, and he had formed a friendly relationship with them. This trade was the reason Li Xuan had been chosen to become the Young Leader out of all the young members of Dark Clouds Bird Shrine.

Lin Yuan would not approach Dark Clouds Bird Shrine directly with regards to the phoenix blood. He would ask Li Xuan to be a middleman who would discuss with the elders on Lin Yuan's behalf.

Lin Yuan immediately called Li Xuan. When the call went through, Lin Yuan immediately said, "Big Brother Li, I need your help."

Li Xuan replied cheerily, "Brother Lin, let me know whatever you need help with. I'll get on it right now if it's within my means. If it's too much for me, I'll try to come up with a way to help you get it done."

Li Xuan had always been thankful to Lin Yuan. If not for Lin Yuan, Li Xuan would have lost the position of Young Leader to his younger siblings.

Ever since Li Xuan's younger siblings reached 15 or 16 years old, they had been trying to steal from Li Xuan. Li Xuan was very aware of this, but he always hesitated about doing something about it.

Just when he reached his limit and was about to defend his position in the family, Lin Yuan appeared and convinced the elders to make a decision. From then on, Li Xuan no longer had to worry about his siblings. VịSit no(v)3lb/!n.c𝒐m for new 𝒏ov𝒆l𝒔

He always felt that Lin Yuan had not only helped him raise his position in the family but also saved his virtue.

Given Lin Yuan's status, Li Xuan did not know what he could do to repay him. But now that Lin Yuan had come to him for help, he finally had his chance.

Lin Yuan said with a smile, "Big Brother Li, is it true that Dark Clouds Bird Shrine has many main-phoenix-species feys?"

Li Xuan did not know why Lin Yuan had asked this question, but he still replied, "In Dark Clouds Bird Shrine, the fundamental condition for joining the elders is to own a main-phoenix-species fey. There are about 40 elders, and they have at least 50 main-phoenix-species feys."

Lin Yuan was delighted. With 50 main-phoenix-species feys providing Shiny with blood, it would be enough for Shiny to reach Myth Breed.

If Lin Yuan could work with Dark Clouds Bird Shrine, he would not have to worry about sourcing for main-phoenix-species feys' blood for a long time.

"Big Brother Li, I would really like your help in obtaining large amounts of blood from the elders in Dark Clouds Bird Shrine."

Li Xuan gulped and was momentarily speechless. Lin Yuan's request had frightened him.

He could not imagine the expression on the elders' faces when he asked them to give blood from their main-phoenix-species feys. It was even possible that they would strip him of his position as Young Leader.

However, he had promised Lin Yuan that he would do whatever he could to help him. Now, he was in an awkward position.

Lin Yuan did not let Li Xuan stay awkward for too long.

"Big Brother Li, Dark Clouds Bird Shrine probably needs spiritual ingredients like the Nirvana Phoenix Flower to feed to the main-phoenix-species feys, right? What if I say that I can provide one Nirvana Phoenix Flower every time I take blood from the main-phoenix-species feys? Will this offer make it easier for you to talk to the elders?"

Li Xuan let out a breath of read new chapter at Bon

The spiritual ingredient that Dark Clouds Bird Shrine's elders fought over the most was the Nirvana Phoenix Flower.

The Nirvana Phoenix Flower was a plant-type fey that could activate main-phoenix-species feys' bloodlines. They were as useful to main-phoenix-species feys as the Dragon's Mouth Orchid was to dragon-species feys.

However, it was much more difficult to nurture the Nirvana Phoenix Flower.

Just like the Dragon's Mouth Orchid, the Nirvana Phoenix Flower needed pure spirit qi once it reached a certain quality. However, the Nirvana Phoenix Flower needed fire-elemental energy as well. As such, the Nirvana Phoenix Flower was five times more expensive than the Dragon's Mouth Orchid.

If Lin Yuan could produce the Nirvana Phoenix Flower, the elders in Dark Clouds Bird Shrine would be willing to work with him in order to help their main-dragon-species feys' bloodline to improve.

Before Li Xuan could agree, Lin Yuan went on to say, "Big Brother Li, if Epic quality Nirvana Phoenix Flowers aren't enough, I can also offer various heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls."

Li Xuan hurriedly replied, "Brother Lin, the Nirvana Phoenix Flowers will be enough. I am confident that this will be enough for me to convince the elders. I'll be able to give you a response soon."

Lin Yuan nodded.

He did not have Nirvana Phoenix Flowers at the moment. Just like Dragon's Mouth Orchid, the Nirvana Phoenix Flower rarely appeared on the market.

Lin Yuan was certain that he could produce many Nirvana Phoenix Flowers to trade for main-phoenix-species feys' blood with the elders of Dark Clouds Bird Shrine because he had seen ten Nirvana Phoenix Flowers at Connected Beast Park's vault when he was there.

Although most of these Nirvana Phoenix Flowers had not reached Epic quality, Lin Yuan did not mind.

As long as he could obtain the Nirvana Phoenix Flowers after he helped them, he would easily be able to evolve them to Epic quality. He might even be able to evolve some of the better ones to Legend quality.

When the Nirvana Phoenix Flower was planted in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, it would be able to produce new flowers after it was plucked as long as its roots were not damaged.

After hanging up the call, Li Xuan used his title as Young Leader for the first time to call for a meeting with the elders.

He had been chosen to become the Young Leader because the elders valued his link to Lin Yuan.

Previously, the elders had all supported different young members according to their respective motives. Even though Li Xuan had officially become the Young Leader, he still had not been acknowledged by every elder. He intended to use this chance to cement a collaborative relationship with the elders.

Ever since he started a faction with Lin Yuan, Gu Lang, Zong Ze, and the rest, his position in the family had only grown more secure.

With this matter on top of it, Li Xuan felt that he would become the most reputable person in Dark Clouds Bird Shrine.

Although Lin Yuan was the one who had asked for his help, he knew that he owed Lin Yuan far more.

If Lin Yuan only needed the blood from main-phoenix-species feys, he could announce his offering of the Nirvana Phoenix Flower on Star Web's trade message, and the experts with main-phoenix-species feys would happily take him up on his offer.

As Lin Yuan continued to supply the Nirvana Phoenix Flowers to Dark Clouds Bird Shrine, he would help Dark Clouds Bird Shrine to increase its power and strengthen its foundation.

Li Xuan planned on telling all the elders about this during the meeting so they would also feel indebted to Lin Yuan.

...

Lin Yuan spent the day organizing his gains from Raging Waves City.

As a pinnacle Immortal Sea Emperor, the dead Shark Awn could not be controlled by Red Thorn using the Tongue of Relinquish even though the Mother of Bloodbath had already absorbed its blood energy. Hence, it could only be turned into various spiritual ingredients.

Shark Awn's skin could be used by Wen Yu to be turned into clothes. The skin was soft and light yet possessed very strong defensive capabilities. Additionally, its scales were resistant to wind and could be used to attack enemies.

After Shark Awn died, Lin Yuan also retrieved something else from its body. He knew that it could be the Immortal body that the Moon Empress had spoken of.

The Immortal body was formed from Willpower Runes.

Willpower Runes, Law Crystals, World Crystals, and the Immortal body were things that feys gained as they evolved from Fantasy Breed to Immortal Breed.

When Lin Yuan first touched the Immortal body, he felt the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen pulse in his soul as though it had just sensed some sort of treasure.

However, the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen was not as desperate for the Immortal body as it had been for the World Crystal.

Through communicating with the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen, he found out that it could not absorb Immortal bodies before its adolescent stage, which was the period between 7 Stars and 9 Stars.

It seemed that there was no use for Shark Awn's Immortal body as of now, and Lin Yuan would need to store it for some time.

Shark Awn's Immortal body contained parts of its soul.

Lin Yuan would be able to use the Remembrance Soul Whale to solidify Shark Awn's soul. However, he would not do so.

Ever since the Remembrance Soul Whale fell into his hands, Lin Yuan thought about reviving his parents. However, they were humans. Not only were their souls too weak, but souls also dissipated quickly after death.

Lin Yuan knew that his parents were buried in an alien insect dimensional rift, and it was likely that their bodies had already been torn apart by insect tides long ago.

He had two Spirit Guard crests and the letter written in blood left to him by his parents. They meant for him to think of them whenever they saw these items, so it was as though they were always by his side.

Lin Yuan was overwhelmed by fear for the first time and did not have the courage to allow the Remembrance Soul Whale to check on the two crests and the letter.

Although he already knew the truth in his heart, sometimes, lying to himself to keep the hope alive was preferable.

After carefully considering it and trying to muster the courage countless times, Lin Yuan decided to go for it.

He nervously summoned the Remembrance Soul Whale and placed the crests and letter in front of it.

In the end, the answer turned out to be just as cold and heartbreaking as he had expected.

The voice from the giant golden tree had allowed Lin Yuan to understand what the Radiance Federation meant to him.

As he gazed at the two Spirit Guard crests now, it dawned on him why his parents had left him and Chu Ci at home to fight for the Radiance Federation despite knowing the dangers that would be involved.

He had been confused when he first received the two Spirit Guard crests. But now, it was clear to him.

Both he and the Moon Empress had chosen to take the same path his parents had.

Lin Yuan held the crests to his chest and looked at the blood letter as he missed and longed for his parents. This lasted the entire night. At that moment, he seemed more like a fresh 18-year-old young man than he ever our

The morning light floated through the window and shimmered on Lin Yuan's body.

As he looked at the light of dawn, he stored away the two crests and blood letter like they were the most precious treasures in the world.

He opened the door of his room and went downstairs to find Liu Jie preparing dumpling soup. With one sniff, Lin Yuan immediately knew that Liu Jie was making pork and leek dumplings which were Lin Yuan's favorite.

Liu Jie knew that Sun Ningxiang and her grandmother would be arriving at the mansion soon and had asked Sun Ningxiang in the group what she wanted to eat.

After washing the dishes, Liu Jie dove straight into preparing lunch.

As Lin Yuan sat on the water rhinoceros leather sofa and looked at the red sandalwood longevity fish tank, he realized that the red sandalwood longevity fishtank seemed slightly small. It could also be said that the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps and 99 Five Fortune Ranchus had grown larger.

Coincidentally, Submerged Flood Dragon Lake's construction was done.

For the sake of Blackie's exclusive skill, Lin Yuan had nurtured the Telescope Spirit-Siphon Goldfish, and they had all been released into Submerged Flood Dragon Lake.

The Angelfish of Bliss were very gentle and would not attack the Spirit-Siphon Goldfish.

Lin Yuan felt that it would be a good idea to release the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps and Five Fortune Ranchus into Submerged Flood Dragon Lake as well.

The spirit qi released by the 99 Five Fortune Ranchus would enable the flowers in the pavilions atop the Sunlight King Lotus to bloom even more brilliantly.

The red sandalwood longevity fish tank would also not be left there to collect dust as he could fill it with any fortuitous aquatic fey that could be nurtured indoors in the future.

The Mountain River Eternal Life Carps had grown to three meters long, and there was almost no space for them to move in the 9.9-meter-wide red sandalwood longevity fish tank.

When the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps were released into Submerged Flood Dragon Lake, Lin Yuan noticed something was happening to their bloodlines.

Apparently, the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps were about to evolve.

Chapter 1368: Sun Ningxiang's Resolution VịSit no(v)3lb/!n.c𝒐m for new 𝒏ov𝒆l𝒔

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan had raised the Mountain River Eternal Life Carps ever since they were young. Fish-species feys did not have high intelligence, but they felt a lot of affection for Lin Yuan.

After spending some time with Lin Yuan by the edge of Submerged Flood Dragon Lake, the three Mountain River Eternal Life Carps swished their tails and swam out into Submerged Flood Dragon Lake.

The Mountain River Eternal Life Carps had the exclusive skill Place of Life. When they swam into Submerged Flood Dragon Lake, the Angelfish of Bliss and precious plants in the pavilions spread out their leaves with delight.

When Lin Yuan saw the beautiful scenery he had created, he breathed out a breath that he had not known he had been holding.

Suddenly, he entered a mystical state.

Creation could bring people happiness. A Willpower Rune of creation appeared in Lin Yuan's spirit.

1

Naturally, Lin Yuan was elated to comprehend another Willpower Rune. However, it was not suitable for the Remembrance Soul Whale.

At that moment, he heard a clear bird chirp from the mansion's entrance. He looked out and saw that Sun Ninxiang had arrived.

There was a short woman who shared Sun Ningxiang's eyes next to Sun Ningxiang.

Lin Yuan knew that Sun Ningxiang's parents had passed, so this woman had to be Sun Ningxiang's grandmother, the thearch-class expert Liu Yuan.

He rushed up to them to usher them into the house.

Before Sun Ningxiang could speak, Liu Yuan knelt on one knee and said solemnly, "My name is Liu Yuan. Thank you for saving my life with the Moon Dew Revival Pill."

Lin Yuan anxiously helped Liu Yuan up. He was friends with Sun Ninxiang and could not handle her grandmother thanking him in such a manner.

He had not thought about the Moon Dew Revival Pill's value when he saved Liu Yuan. Even when he thought back on it, he did not regret using the Moon Dew Revival Pill to save Liu Yuan's life. He could not stand and watch his friend's family die when he had the ability to save them.

Sun Ningxiang saw that her grandmother was about to thank Lin Yuan again and was afraid that Lin Yuan would be put on the spot. She gently held Liu Yuan's hand.

Lin Yuan and Sun Ningxiang had not known each other for a long time, and he had been wearing a mask the last time they met. Hence, she had not noticed the changes in him.

But now, as she looked at Lin Yuan's exquisite features and growing aura of eliteness, she could not help but be stupefied.

Liu Yuan gently tugged Sun Ningxiang's arm when she saw her granddaughter spacing out.

When Sun Ningxiang regained her senses, her face flushed, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Lin Yuan had not noticed the change in Sun Ningxiang's expression. He was too busy praying that Liu Yuan would not get down on her knees again.

After exchanging a few words with Liu Yuan, he led her and Sun Ningxiang into the mansion.

When Sun Ningxiang sat down on the sofa, she decided to tell Lin Yuan what needed to be said.

Lin Yuan poured out cups of Three Treasures Tea for Sun Ningxiang and Liu Yuan. Before he could finish filling Sun Ningxiang's cup, she said, "Lin Yuan, Condense Fairy Orchard would like to be attached to Sky City from now on and become one of your branches just like the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce is."

Instead of looking happy, Lin Yuan frowned. He felt that a large part of this decision was motivated by gratitude toward him for saving Liu Yuan.

If Lin Yuan and Sun Ningxiang were not friends, he would be more than willing to take her up on her offer.

However, he considered her his good friend, and this decision made him feel like she regarded their relationship as transactional.

Thus, he asked her seriously, "Did you decide to attach Condense Fairy Orchard to Sky City as a way of thanking me? If so, there is no need. If you would really like to repay the debt of the Moon Dew Revival Pill, you can repay me with resources once Condense Fairy Orchard has expanded sufficiently."

Sun Ningxiang shook her head gently.

It was true that she had made the decision to express her gratitude. However, she was the decision-maker of a top faction and had to look past the surface of matters.

She had also made this decision after taking the entire Condense Fairy Orchard into consideration. By attaching Condense Fairy Orchard to Sky City, Condense Fairy Orchard's future expansion would be secured.

Even if Liu Yuan had regained her health, Condense Fairy Orchard would still only be left with one thearch-class expert.

They had no Creation Master resources or martial force. Hence, it would be difficult for Condense Fairy Orchard to forge a better future for itself.

Sun Ningxiang sorted out her emotions before saying, "Condense Fairy Orchard is fully reliant on Sky City for Creation Master resources. Without Sky City, our plant-type fey role will crumble in an instant. By attaching ourselves to Sky City, Condense Fairy Orchard will have a light waiting for us at the end of the tunnel.

"Lin Yuan, if you are satisfied with us, please take us in! From today onward, Grandma and I will focus on expanding Condense Fairy Orchard, and we won't have to worry about being targeted by other factions. It is us who would like to take shelter under the tree that is Sky City."

Liu Yuan felt her heart ache when she heard Sun Ningxiang say such things. She felt that her granddaughter was speaking in an excessively inferior manner. It was clear that her decision came from a place of gratitude, yet she made Condense Fairy Orchard sound even lousier in case Lin Yuan was unwilling to accept them. Liu Yuan did not understand this side of her granddaughter.

But from the moment Liu Yuan looked into Lin Yuan's clean and clear eyes, she knew that he had no unsavory intentions.

This was not surprising. The Moon Empress' disciple was going to fight to become a Radiance Envoy two years later, and he would not allow himself to be blinded by his emotions.

Lin Yuan fell silent when he heard what Sun Ningxiang said.

Amid his silence, Sun Ningxiang said, "Lin Yuan, if Sky City will not accept Condense Fairy Orchard, I might as well demote Condense Fairy Orchard into a veteran faction and sell off our breeding bases to Sky City. We are old friends. Considering our friendship, I'm sure you won't reject our spirit plant breeding bases that supply 20% of plant-type feys to the market."

Lin Yuan shook his head in frustration.

"Since you've brought this matter up, Condense Fairy Orchard shall become the second faction under Sky City. I will not question Condense Fairy Orchard's expansion. You just need to send general reports to Wen Yu just like the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce does."

Chapter 1369: Lin Yuan the Hoarder 𝒩ewW 𝒏ovels upd𝒂tes on nov/𝒆l/b(i)𝒏.com

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan said after a moment of silence, "As a welcome gift to Condense Fairy Orchard for joining Sky City, I will provide Condense Fairy Orchard with 2,000 various types of heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, 300 Bronze/Epic feys, 10 Bronze/Legend feys, 500 pieces of mid-grade marsh soil, and 50 pieces of high-grade marsh soil this year."

In spite of Lin Yuan's calm tone, Liu Yuan and Sun Ningxiang were floored. The same thought popped into their heads.

Are we joining Sky City to repay our debt of gratitude or to gain a brighter future? Lin Yuan is putting too many resources into Condense Fairy Orchard!

When Lin Yuan previously worked with Condense Fairy Orchard, he had provided them with Bronze/Epic feys. The Bronze/Epic feys were what allowed Condense Fairy Orchard to increase their influence in the plant-type fey market by 300% despite not having any Class 4 Creation Masters and only being left with their most fundamental members.

Condense Fairy Orchard and Sky City had worked together for so long, but they had not gained 300 Bronze/Epic feys yet.

If all the Bronze/Epic feys that Lin Yuan provided Condense Fairy Orchard were plant-type feys, they could be nurtured as ramets, and Condense Fairy Orchard would gain even more control over the plant-type fey market.

However, Lin Yuan had promised them more than 300 Bronze/Epic feys. There were also 10 Bronze/Legend feys.

In order to save Liu Yuan, Sun Ningxiang had frantically sought out the Bronze/Legend Muscle Growth Camellia but turned up empty-handed. Clearly, Bronze/Legend feys were invaluable.

Condense Fairy Orchard had accumulated less than 20 Bronze/Legend feys in the past century.

Lin Yuan's provision of Bronze/Legend feys would allow Condense Fairy Orchard to increase their control over the plant-type fey market by 1/3.

Sun Ningxiang and Liu Yuan could never have imagined such a situation. Moreover, these were not all the precious resources that Lin Yuan was going to provide Condense Fairy Orchard.

2,000 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were more valuable than 300 Bronze/Epic and Bronze/Legend feys combined.

Heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were the specialty of Class 4 Creation Masters.

Condense Fairy Orchard would never not need various elements when they nurtured plant-type feys.

After the incident that caused all of Condense Fairy Orchard's Creation Masters to leave, it became difficult for Sun Ningxiang to obtain elemental pearls.

Sun Ningxiang and Liu Yuan were utterly dumbfounded by Lin Yuan's gift of 2,000 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. They felt as though they were dreaming.

The soil was the most basic condition in order to nurture plant-type feys. Condense Fairy Orchard had high expectations for the soil they used when they nurtured plant-type feys.

Hence, the plant-type feys that Condense Fairy Orchard put out into the market were always of higher quality than those from other factions with the same role.

The secret of Condense Fairy Orchard's superior soil was that they were not stingy about using marsh soil. Marsh soil was the reason Condense Fairy Orchard had gained such a good reputation over the years.

After the incident happened, Sun Ningxiang no longer had the resources to inject marsh soil into the soil in the breeding bases.

As a result, the plant-type feys put out by Condense Fairy Orchard over the last few months had received complaints from consumers that the quality had dropped, and they were in danger of being excluded by consumers.

Now that Lin Yuan was going to provide them with so much mid-grade and high-grade marsh soil, Condense Fairy Orchard would be able to put out plant-type feys of better quality, and they would not have to receive any more complaints.

If Lin Yuan truly pumped so many resources into Condense Fairy Orchard, Sun Ningxiang was confident that Condense Fairy Orchard would be able to control 50% of the plant-type fey market soon. Once this happened, Condense Fairy Orchard would truly dominate the Radiance Federation's plant-type fey market.

No other faction with plant-type feys as their role would be able to threaten Condense Fairy Orchard's position. In order to continue expanding, they would have no choice but to work with Condense Fairy Orchard.

Condense Fairy Orchard would then be able to integrate the resources in the market and start taking control of even more of the plant-type fey market.

It could be said that Lin Yuan's one statement allowed Sun Ningxiang to see a beautiful future. She felt more and more that Lin Yuan's shoulder was like a warm harbor where she could not help but want to take shelter.

However, Lin Yuan had already used a Moon Dew Revival Pill to save her grandmother and had rescued Condense Fairy Orchard from sticky situations many times.

Sun Ningxiang had come to express her gratitude. But now, how was she supposed to repay her debts if Lin Yuan was going to give Condense Fairy Orchard such an enormous amount of resources?

Setting aside kinship and only considering a business standpoint, Condense Fairy Orchard had only just joined Sky City and had yet to make any contributions. She could not receive benefits before putting in any work, much less when the benefits were such an immense amount of resources.

Liu Yuan looked between Sun Ningxiang and Lin Yuan.

When she first saw Lin Yuan, she assumed that Sun Ningxiang had become smitten with his appearance and aura. A young man with such looks and aura was too attractive for any female.

But now, it was clear that those were not the only reasons.

Lin Yuan was obscenely wealthy, decisive, and capable of great things. If any woman did not feel touched by the offering of such resources, she would be as good as heartless!

When Sun Ningxiang did not nod in agreement immediately and Lin Yuan saw her conflicted expression, he smiled and said, "I won't be giving Condense Fairy Orchard these resources for free. I have a request for you. Once you obtain the resources, I hope that Condense Fairy Orchard will be able to expand your breeding bases and try your best to supply all the types of plant-type feys that the market needs. Also, in case of emergency, I want you to stock up on plant-type feys that are necessary in large quantities for daily needs."

When Sun Ningxiang heard Lin Yuan mention that he had a request, she assumed that he would want to take control of as much of the market as possible. However, his actual request took her by surprise.

Condense Fairy Orchard had over 2,000 main plant breeding bases, and they were situated at locations in the Radiance Federation that had the best soil.

Sun Ningxiang's grandfather had invested in Condense Fairy Orchard when he was still around.

Each of the 2,000 breeding bases had tens of smaller breeding bases attached to them.

These breeding bases were the reason Condense Fairy Orchard was able to dominate the plant-type fey market.

However, in spite of the high number of breeding bases, they were still insufficient to meet Lin Yuan's request.

Chapter 1370: Full of Resources

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan's request did not seem like a business investment to Sun Ningxiang. It seemed that he wanted to use Condense Fairy Orchard to prepare for something.

Sun Ningxiang thought about the fight between Chief Guard Ye, the First Emperor Shark Clan, and the Freedom Federation yesterday. Her heart skipped a beat when a guess entered her mind.

"Lin Yuan, are you asking Condense Fairy Orchard to prepare various plant-type fey resources in anticipation of war?"

Lin Yuan nodded. This was exactly what he had in mind.

Yesterday, the lava that fell from the sky had allowed him to understand the devastation that war could cause a city. If any expert used celestial phenomena to attack and destroy a city, many of the current infrastructures would collapse. When that happened, the city would need a sufficient stock of resources to handle the crisis.

This was exactly the preparation that Lin Yuan wanted to carry out. VịSit no(v)3lb/!n.c𝒐m for new 𝒏ov𝒆l𝒔

"You're right. While Condense Fairy Orchard is stocking up on resources, your ranking as a top faction will not increase significantly. In fact, I hope that Condense Fairy Orchard will remain as under the radar as possible and invest all your effort into accumulating plant-type fey-related resources. A large number of resources will be used up in this process, but I will supply Condense Fairy Orchard with these resources."

Previously, Lin Yuan wanted to rely on nurturing the Soldier Ration Radish to provide food for a large group of people. Once the Soldier Ration Radish was separated to a certain extent, it was even possible that he would be able to provide food for the entire Radiance Federation.

However, yesterday's events made Lin Yuan aware that he had thought of everything too simply.

Food was a necessity. But besides food, people also needed many more things in order to survive. If these things were not prepared, any abnormal situation would bring about disaster.

Plant-type feys supported the entire ecosystem. By stocking up on plant-type fey-related resources, Lin Yuan would be able to handle anything that came his way in the future.

The Radiance Federation actually had special stocks. The department that handled this was Cultivated Garden which Lin Yuan had traded with Revival Soil for heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

Just like the Spirit Guards, Cultivated Garden was managed by a member of royalty, Tian Feng.

It was not that Lin Yuan did not believe in Cultivated Garden's stock but that he was the type to prepare to the greatest extent.

Moreover, the Spirit Lock spatial zone was a storeroom that did not require much investment but could still maintain a high influx of resources. Lin Yuan could afford to use up resources with the Spirit Lock spatial zone around.

Sun Ningxiang immediately knew what she could do for Lin Yuan and felt a wave of motivation swell up within her.

"Lin Yuan, I never hoped for Condense Fairy Orchard's ranking to increase after we joined Sky City. Tomorrow, my grandmother and I will publicly announce that Condense Fairy Orchard shall be staying out of the public eye.

"Condense Fairy Orchard will start focusing on gathering plant-type fey-related resources. From now on, I will let you know of any resources I need without holding back so that I'll be able to stock up on resources as quickly as possible.

"Unfortunately, other factions have bought most of the places with good-quality soil that is suitable to build breeding bases. The other places will need to be renovated to some extent."

Lin Yuan had a solution. Places with soil that was suitable for planting were rare in the Radiance Federation. However, they were in abundance in the marsh world.

Lin Yuan had taken over the Dark Scorpion's territory, which was as large as a major city in Radiance City. Although most of the territory was a marsh, Lin Yuan had the ability to change the marsh world as he needed.

White Speak protected the entire territory, so there was no question of safety.

Lin Yuan could set aside a wide area within the territory on which he would create a plant-type fey breeding base.

However, this area would need people to willingly leave their current lives to tend to.

Lin Yuan said, "Sun Ningxiang, I have a place with soil that's suitable for constructing a breeding base. However, the people who work there will have to leave their current lives. As compensation, I will give them ten times the pay they would receive for doing the same work anywhere else. The workers' parents can also move to stay at this place. How many of such people do you think Condense Fairy Orchard has?"

Sun Ningxiang did not immediately agree.

"These people exist in droves in Condense Fairy Orchard. Most of the people working in a breeding base are ordinary people or experts that do not have much combat power. They work in four shifts of six hours every day and are given a salary of about 4,000 Radiance dollars every month. If they're given ten times the normal pay, it's unlikely that any of them will say no."

Sun Ningxiang had more things to say to Lin Yuan but did not know how to voice them.

In Sun Ningxiang's eyes, Lin Yuan was the disciple of royalty and Sky City's City Lord. He possessed an untold amount of resources. As such, he could not understand the hardships that a regular person had to struggle with.

As a direct descendant of a top faction, Sun Ningxiang also should not be aware of it.

She only came to learn about them because she had spent time training under her grandfather at Condense Healing. During that time, she came to understand the ins and outs of an ordinary person's life.

Lin Yuan nodded.

Sun Ningxiang did not know Lin Yuan's life had been even harder than those ordinary people working at breeding bases.

At that time, he would drag his ailing body around as he managed a spirit lifeform store. Even with Auntie Zhang's care, he only earned 2,000 Federation dollars each month.

He had used 300 Federation dollars on food and 200 Federation dollars to occasionally switch up Genius and Chimey's food. Lin Yuan carefully saved up the remaining 1,500 Federation dollars for the sake of Chi Ci's education.

No one else knew better than Lin Yuan how unbearable life could be.

Lin Yuan emphasized, "Please help me pick out some people. You need to emphasize that they will need to retreat from society for the rest of their lives."

2

Sun Ningxiang was slightly stunned. Retreating from society for up to a decade was one thing, but never being able to return to their original lives again was too extreme!

Lin Yuan had his own considerations. He could not verify the loyalty of the people working at the breeding base. Hence, the best way to prevent the circumstance of the marsh world from being leaked was to keep them in the marsh world forever.

Chapter 1371: Awkward Mystic Moon

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Nonetheless, Lin Yuan would not mistreat these people.

He could promise the Spirit Craftsmen working in the marsh world high-quality Bronze feys and bright futures, but the same prize would not be appealing to ordinary people who could not become spirit qi professionals.

Thus, Lin Yuan planned to raise these people's standard of living.

Just as Sun Ningxiang was about to ask Lin Yuan about any other conditions he had for these people, Lin Yuan said, "Each of these people will gain ten boxes of various fruits that will be able to improve their health and 7.5 kilograms of various meats. There will be Spirit Craftsmen there who will be able to build 200 square meter houses equipped with household feys like the Jasmine Lily. There will also be healing-type spirit qi professionals there to provide free healing services."

Sun Ningxiang felt that such a life would be a paradise for ordinary people.

The people working in breeding bases were from a small community. They mostly stuck with their family any time that they were not working. All they wanted was a stable and comfortable life.

Besides the ten times higher wages that Lin Yuan was going to provide, the standard of living that he was offering would be attractive to any of them. These people usually worked hard their entire lives in the Radiance Federation and still would not be able to buy a 200-square-meter house.

"Lin Yuan, I will get this done as soon as possible. How many people do you have in mind?"

Lin Yuan pondered for some time before saying, "I'm planning on setting aside 200 square kilometers. You can estimate the number of people who will be able to run a breeding base of such size and hire that number."

Sun Ningxiang was astonished by the area that Lin Yuan declared. It was as large as a district in a major city.

Such a large area would indeed require many people. At least 100,000 people were required.

Both Lin Yuan and Sun Ningxiang were decisive people, and they settled the matter with a few statements.

As Liu Yuan listened to Lin Yuan and Sun Ningxiang's conversation, she blinked a few times when they were done.

She had often represented Condense Fairy Orchard in discussions with other factions during her youth. Each time, the discussions had involved both sides fighting for a larger share of the benefits. Neither side would compromise or try to scheme.

However, Lin Yuan and Sun Ningxiang seemed to have a sort of compatibility.

It could also be said that Lin Yuan did not care about the number of investments he would have to provide if it meant that he could accomplish his goal.

Liu Yuan had wanted Sun Ningxiang to fight for a chance to become a Radiance Knight.

But now that Sun Ningxiang's eyes were full of fiery passion over how she could fulfill the task that Lin Yuan gave her, there was no way she still had any space in her mind to think about increasing her power and becoming a Radiance Knight.

Now that Sun Ningxiang was closer to Lin Yuan, she might be able to become even better friends with Lin Yuan. However, if they continued along this trajectory, it would be even more unlikely for any romance to blossom between the two of them.

Liu Yuan had experience and saw everything clearly. Yet, she did not know how to talk about it with Sun Ningxiang.

Liu Yuan sighed.

Forget it. Grandchildren have their own way of living life. I shouldn't worry. Since this involves the Moon Empress' disciple, I don't have the right to worry either.

At this time, Liu Jie had already laid out the food.

Ever since the Mother of Bloodbath saw that ribbon of sunlight, its emotions had been a tangled mess.

In order to distract the Mother of Bloodbath, Lin Yuan sent the Mother of Bloodbath off with its foodie friends to visit restaurants that were popular online. Hence, it was currently not in the mansion.

As such, only Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, Sun Ningxiang, and Liu Yuan were present for this meal.

Liu Jie had prepared food that Sun Ningxiang had listed, which were all suited to Liu Yuan's tastes.

Liu Yuan and Sun Ningxiang almost swallowed their tongues while scarfing down the food.

After the meal, Liu Yuan and Sun Ningxiang left quickly to prepare administrative affairs.

After Condense Fairy Orchard became a part of Sky City, Sun Ningxiang would have to start on the task that Lin Yuan gave her.

Sun Ningxiang and Liu Yuan would be kept busy for a long time.

While Lin Yuan and Liu Jie were discussing the expansion into the Divine Wood Federation, Mystic Moon was stuck between a rock and a hard place in the Radiance Federation's imperial court.

This was the first time that Mystic Moon was attending a meeting in the imperial court. Given his endless achievements, Mystic Moon had the right to become a member of royalty. Although he could not take the test to become a member of royalty since he was the Moon Empress' Moon Envoy, he could speak with the other members of royalty as an equal.

However, Mystic Moon felt wholly awkward because he knew that the Moon Empress was no longer doomed now that she had formed a contract with the Lifespan Mouse. As long as no one killed the Lifespan Mouse, she would be able to live even longer than the other members of royalty. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o/m Only

Mystic Moon had guessed that Night Leaning Moon had attacked the First Emperor Shark Clan because of Liu Jie and more so the fact that she found out that the Moon Empress only had three years left in her lifespan.

Evidently, his guess was right.

Ever since the imperial meeting started, besides that old man, Cicada Song, and Ji Changdeng, the other members of royalty had all asked Night Leaning Moon about what had happened.

1

Night Leaning Moon had not clearly explained herself, but it was impossible to keep the matter under wraps now that the matter had progressed to such an extent.

Under the other seven members of royalty's questioning gazes, Cicada Song had no choice but to explain the situation frustratedly.

It would have been better not to explain the situation. But now that the situation had been exposed, the entire imperial court exploded.

The Bamboo Monarch, who owed the Moon Empress a favor, wanted to immediately ride out to search for spiritual ingredients that could extend lifespans.

This made Mystic Moon so touched as he knew that the Bamboo Monarch truly felt deep gratitude toward the Moon Empress and wanted to do anything to repay her.

However, as a Moon Envoy, Mystic Moon could not reveal the truth about her lifespan being restored without her permission.

Chef Supreme, who had been silent all this time, said, "I am on good terms with the Azure Winged Tiger family, which is one of the 12 Class 5 families in the Azure Federation. While the Bamboo Monarch is searching for spiritual ingredients to prolong lifespans, I will head to the Azure Federation. The Azure Winged Tiger family definitely has essence blood from the Azure Winged Tiger, and it can evolve lifespans.

1

"The Moon Empress just has to use one drop of essence blood every day for a year, and she will be able to gain another three months of lifespan. But after a year, the essence blood will not work anymore, and we'll have to come up with another solution."

Mystic Moon was at his breaking point now.

The Moon Empress had said she would only emerge during the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. In the time up till then, he could not sit by and watch as the members of royalty drove themselves into a frenzy.

Chapter 1372: Iron Prison's Fey with the Barren Bloodline

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Moon Empress would end up owing all of the members of royalty favors for their efforts.

It was not easy to repay favors to the royalty,

Just as Mystic Moon was trying to come up with a way to calm down the members of royalty without revealing the Moon Empress' circumstance, Iron Prison stood up and said, "In another month, the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection will take place. In less than a month, the team of Envoys from the Azure Federation and Freedom Federation would arrive at the Radiance Federation. Hence, it won't be appropriate for any of you to leave.

"The matter of the sea clans has not been settled. The First Emperor Shark Clan publicly broke the agreement between the Radiance Federation and the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors. By doing so, they've stepped on the Radiance Federation's pride. I would like to propose that we wipe out the First Emperor Shark Clan."

Mystic Moon never liked Iron Prison, but Iron Prison's words were music to Mystic Moon's ears.

If the rest of the members of royalty listened to Iron Prison and stayed in the Radiance Federation until the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, the Moon Empress would be able to fix the situation herself when she came out of her secluded training.

Once Iron Prison finished speaking, Cicada Song massaged his temples and thought, The principle is right, but you can't put it in such a manner. Iron Prison, you're so bull-headed. You literally set yourself up as a criminal. The tension in the room is so high. You've literally turned yourself into their punching bag by saying such a thing. Thank goodness Ji Changdeng isn't here. If he was, he would probably immediately start fighting with Iron Prison.

The moment Iron Prison finished speaking, Night Leaning Moon slammed her hand forcefully down on the table and said, "Why do all the members of royalty need to be present for the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection and the arrival of the two teams of Envoys? I've left all the Spirit Guards' affairs to my managers, and I will be staying at the Radiant Moon Palace long-term starting tomorrow. Once Xiyue is out, I will ask her about the exact situation and drag her out with me to search for a miracle."

Mystic Moon was irritated when he heard what Night Leaning Moon said.

The Moon Empress is locked away in training. Who permitted you to stay in the Radiant Moon Palace long-term!?

But at the same time, Mystic Moon let out a breath of relief. If Night Leaning Moon could stay at Radiant Moon Palace until the Moon Empress came out, the most difficult one to handle out of all the members of royalty would be settled.

But before Mystic Moon could exhale fully, the Bamboo Monarch said, "The new leaves of the Golden Thearch Bamboo have the ability to extend lifespans. I can use them and the heart of the bamboo to concoct spirit fluids and give them to Mystic Moon before I leave.

"The Moon Empress will only start to see effects after she drinks the spirit fluid six times. In total, this should add at least three months to the Moon Empress' lifespan. In addition to the Azure Winged Tiger essence blood, the Moon Empress should be able to live for another four and a half years without any issue."

1

The Bamboo Monarch's words caused Tian Feng to furrow his brow.

"Fu Wenzhu, your Class 5 Creation Master skill is based on the Golden Thearch Bamboo. It's one thing if you pluck the Golden Thearch Bamboo's leaves. But if you cut off the heart of the bamboo, the Golden Thearch Bamboo's roots will be damaged. At that point, won't your Creation Master Class drop to pinnacle Class 4?"

The Bamboo Monarch replied resolutely, "The favor I owe the Moon Empress can't even be repaid with my life. By saving Xiangxiang, she saved me."

Tian Feng did not know what he should say.

The Bamboo Monarch was a member of royalty and knew the significance of Class 5 Creation Masters to the Radiance Federation.

Yet, he was choosing personal feelings over the big picture. This was just like how he had chosen Wang Fuxiang in the past.

The standing Iron Prison completely ignored Cicada Song, who was tugging on his sleeve and sneered. "Bamboo Monarch, you disappoint me. Both this time and the last, you besmirch the title of a member of royalty.

"Forget it. My fey with the Barren bloodline, the Judge Gate Turtle, recently gained the exclusive skill Turtle Life Judgment. Turtle Life Judgment will allow me to convert and transfer my lifespan to others. I will use my lifespan to exchange for all of your presences in the Radiance Federation and the Bamboo Monarch's Class 5 Creation Master status.

"After my lifespan is converted, the Moon Empress will be able to live for at least another century. As long as I live, the Moon Empress will too."

With all eyes on him, Iron Prison sat back down on his chair and turned to look at Cicada Song. Gét latest 𝒏ovel ch𝒂pters on n𝒐v(e)lbj/n.c/𝒐m

Iron Prison's thicker-than-average eyebrow twitched as though he was demanding to know why Cicada Song had been grabbing him.

Night Leaning Moon, Chef Supreme, the Bamboo Monarch, Tian Feng, and the rest all looked at Iron Prison with respect.

Unlike Ji Changdeng, Iron Prison did not love the Moon Empress deeply.

Rather, he was always butting heads with her. On the other hand, he had butted heads with every member of royalty at the Guard Ye Banquet.

Iron Prison only did things his way and was extremely stubborn. Hence, he had ticked off many members of royalty. He was the least affable of all the members of royalty.

But at that moment, the Bamboo Monarch, Chef Supreme, Night Leaning Moon, Tian Feng, and the rest all understood where Iron Prison was coming from.

Iron Prison had said that the Bamboo Monarch was a disappointment. It was likely that he used himself as the standard.

It was true that compared to Iron Prison, the rest of them were not as dutiful.

Mystic Moon stared at Iron Prison, and all the displeasure he felt toward him melted away. In its place, warm feelings bubbled up.

If Lin Yuan's Lifespan Mouse had not saved the Moon Empress, Iron Prison might have ended up as the Moon Empress' savior instead.

Iron Prison's Judge Gate Turtle had reached Eternal.

Not even Class 5 Creation Masters could see the exclusive skills of an Eternal Breed fey.

If Iron Prison did not bring it up, no one would find out about the secret he had just revealed.

But the fact that he did and was willing to use his lifespan to exchange for the Moon Empress' lifespan made him seem noble in Mystic Moon's eyes.

This nobleness was not tied to power but the shining radiance that Mystic Moon could see shining forth from Iron Prison.

While the rest of the people were deep in thought, Iron Prison stood up again and said to Night Leaning Moon, "I just solved the problem of the Moon Empress' lifespan. Now, I want to talk about Night Leaning Moon attacking the First Emperor Shark Clan. In my opinion, Night Leaning Moon was too impulsive. I'm not against attacking the First Emperor Shark Clan. But, you should have discussed it with us at an imperial meeting before you acted.

"If three of us acted together and directed celestial phenomena at the First Emperor Shark Clan, the result would have been completely different. We would have been able to heavily injure the First Emperor Shark Clan and wipe out most of their members.

"At that point, the First Emperor Shark Clan would no longer be able to bring any benefits to the Freedom Federation. Du Miao also would not have interfered and summoned the Gold Leaf Boiling Balloon Flower."

Cicada Song could not help but shake his head at Iron Prison's radical mindset.

Chapter 1373: I Also Have a Sense of Duty!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Iron Prison had done something that left Night Leaning Moon with a positive impression and even stern respect for him.

But now, he was causing trouble again! By targeting her now, he was asking for an argument. Moreover, the matter was more complicated than Iron Prison thought it was.

Just as Cicada Song was about to change the topic to give Iron Prison and Night Leaning Moon a chance to back down, Night Leaning Moon stood up and bowed to Iron Prison as she said, "Iron Prison, I owe you a favor. If there's anything you would like me to do, just say the word."

Night Leaning Moon's tone immediately changed, and she slammed her hand ferociously down on the table again as she said, "Do you think I'm incapable of killing the First Emperor Shark Clan's members while Shark Pride is protecting them?

"The Dark Sky Prajna is the first sacred source lifeform I formed a contract with. However, my second sacred source lifeform, the Equinoctial Week Pagoda Flower, has the strongest celestial phenomenon. You know the power that is unleashed when the Dark Sky Prajna and Equinoctial Week Pagoda Tree work together. I didn't use the Equinoctial Week Pagoda Tree to kill the members of the First Emperor Shark Clan on purpose. I want to wait for the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors to gather in the Radiance Federation to settle the matter of the agreement.

!

"Iron Prison, I'm sure you know that if I had killed most of the members of the First Emperor Shark Clan, we wouldn't have much righteous ground to stand on during the trial. It could even have triggered the sea clans to work together against a common enemy. Iron Prison, as a member of royalty who has been in charge of the Spirit Guards for decades, I also have a sense of duty."

The throbbing headache that had been pounding in Mystic Moon's head from the beginning of the imperial meeting ended.

Mystic Moon let out a light breath.

He had told the other members of royalty about the situation as he had heard from Lin Yuan. He also managed to calm the members of royalty down and keep them waiting until the Moon Empress came out. He performed both tasks successfully.

But during the imperial meeting, Mystic Moon had decided that he would never attend another imperial meeting. It was just too stressful!

...

For the past two days, Lin Yuan had reverted to his endless cycle of hard work. He had spent almost the entire time nurturing the Steel Spike Iron Oysters.

Since he had formed a collaboration with Raging Waves City, he would have to prepare the Steel Spike Iron Oysters for Wang Ce in advance.

After two days of continuous hard work, Lin Yuan did not feel as exhausted as he used to feel.

Ever since he consumed the Earth Center Fine Milk and his body was transformed, he realized that working himself extra hard did not tire him out like it used to. He only had to take a nap, and his vitality would be refilled to the brim.

Sun Ningxiang sent a Diamond fey storage box to Lin Yuan yesterday that was filled with many Law Source Crystals. Lin Yuan counted that there were at least 4,000 Law Source Crystal inside.

He had called Sun Ningxiang after he received the fey storage box. He knew that Sun Ningxiang had prepared this for him prior but had forgotten to give it to him before she left.

When Lin Yuan and Sun Ningxiang traded for high-quality Bronze feys, he had earned several hundred Law Source Crystals. When added to these 4,000 Law Source Crystals, he had earned less than 5,000 Law Source Crystals from Condense Fairy Orchard.

This was far from the amount that Coiling Dragon's Valley could offer.

Coiling Dragon's Valley could produce over 10,000 Law Source Crystals without the blink of an eye.

Apparently, even top factions could differ greatly when it came to their stock of resources.

At this point, 5,000 Law Source Crystals were nothing to Lin Yuan.

However, he understood her gesture and knew she was always thinking about his needs.

Long Tao had called Lin Yuan during these two days, and they decided to start the faction with the name Dragon Hill. Dragon Hill's role would be the sale of spiritual ingredients that came from dragon-species feys' bodies.

As the Young Leader of Coiling Dragon's Valley, it would be easy for Long Tao to obtain the Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragon's eggs. The leaders of Coiling Dragon's Valley were beside themselves with happiness when they found out that Long Tao was going to start a faction with Lin Yuan.

Given that the Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragon's eggs were related to the early stages of their faction, Lin Yuan told Long Tao to deliver the eggs to him.

Lin Yuan did not want these eggs to see what they looked like but to hatch and nurture them.

Lin Yuan took half a day to inject a large amount of spirit qi into the six eggs and speed up their hatching. Once they broke out of their shells, Lin Yuan evolved the three male and three female baby dragons to Bronze X/Legend. Then, he sent the six baby dragons back to Long Tao.

He had already set up a good foundation for the six Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragons, and Long Tao would only have to breed them with each other to produce offspring.

Long Tao did not think that anything was strange when he received the six Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragons. But it did not take long for him to realize that they were Bronze X/Legend.

This left Long Tao stunned for some time.

This was not the first time that Long Tao had been amazed by how great it was to work with Lin Yuan.

Given that he was able to nurture six Bronze/Legend feys within such a short time, he instinctively assumed that Lin Yuan had sought help from the Moon Empress.

1

Long Tao was filled with motivation as he looked at the six Bronze/Legend Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragons.

The Hooked Teeth Giant Beast Dragons had such impressive foundations that their descendants would not fall too far from the tree.

If the childbirth was sped up using spirit fluid, Lin Yuan would be provided with the first batch of dragon kidneys within one or two months, and Dragon Hill would officially be able to open for business.

Meanwhile, Li Xuan easily convinced the elders in his family. After all, the elders all knew how their faction had gained traction.

Li Xuan had been in that circle at the Guard Ye Banquet, chatting with the other four disciples of royalty. Thus, many top factions had started working with Dark Clouds Bird Shrine. Even the major cities that had never worked with Dark Clouds Bird Shrine in the past also started ordering avian-type feys. This allowed the elders of Dark Clouds Bird Shine to be able to walk with their heads held high wherever they went.

Even if Lin Yuan wanted the main-phoenix-species feys without offering anything in return, the elders would agree as well, much less now that he was going to give them the Nirvana Phoenix Flowers.

The elders of Dark Clouds Bird Shrine were not ranked according to power. However, the stronger elders were usually the ones who were able to occupy the top seats.

Chapter 1374: News Leak and Tian Ningning's New Assistant

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

If one elder opposed working with Lin Yuan while the other elders agreed, the other elder would be able to gain many of the Nirvana Phoenix Flowers, and the bloodlines of their main-phoenix-species feys would continually improve. As a result, their power would also increase, and these elders would be able to fight for spots at the top.

The elders understood this, so none of them were going to say no and let their rank fall.

Now, Lin Yuan would be able to trade for main-phoenix-species fey blood as long as he had the Nirvana Phoenix Flowers.

However, he was in no rush to obtain the phoenix blood as Shiny would need to consume both the dragon liver and phoenix blood together in order to increase its power. It would be useless if it only had the phoenix blood.

Lin Yuan had looked through Star Web the past two days.

He realized that the posts surrounding the celestial phenomena, the First Emperor Shark Clan breaking the agreement with the Radiance Federation, and the earth-shattering bet between the Radiance Federation and the Freedom Federation were no longer trending with as much popularity as they used to.

There were also some people who had mentioned how the follow-up matters of the blood pact ultimate fight between Connected Beast Park and the Sea Bliss Clan had not been carried out.

Lin Yuan knew it was time for him to step in as the Moon Empress' disciple.

The clash between the Radiance Federation, the First Emperor Shark Clan, and the Freedom Federation was not considered gossip-worthy, and there was nothing to pick apart. The most that could be talked about was how scary the celestial phenomena had been. Hence, the incident had fallen out of popularity quickly.

Everyone had seen the celestial phenomena that evening. Many people who usually did not log into Star Web did so that day to understand what was going on. Hence, Star Web was experiencing its highest traffic.

If Lin Yuan now stepped in as the Moon Empress' disciple to settle the dispute between Sky City and Connected Beast Park, he still would be unable to overcome the popularity of these three events.

However, this was also the time to allow more people to understand the conflict between Sky City and Connected Beast Park.

Additionally, if Lin Yuan used his identity as the Moon Empress' disciple now to interfere in the dispute between Connected Beast Park and Sky City, it would be considered very interesting gossip.

...

Given that Lin Yuan was both the Moon Empress' disciple and the City Lord of Sky City, he did not have to do anything to allow the matter to stew. All he had to do was hire a Star Web reporter to write an article.

Star Web's public news allowed the Star Web reporters to add their own opinions to their articles, but the news being reported still had to be truthful. Hence, the news put out by exclusive reporters always became popular.

As for which Star Web reporter he would choose, he picked Tian Ningning without hesitation. Điscover n𝒆w chapt𝒆rs 𝒐n n0𝒗e(l)bi𝒏.com

Tian Ningning was Black's exclusive reporter, and it would not be appropriate for her to report on this news.

Due to her relationship with Miao He, Tian Ningning built an extensive Star Web reporters network.

Wen Yu had asked Tian Ningning to find Star Web reporters to put out articles last time too.

Lin Yuan planned on asking Tian Ningning to find a suitable Star Web reporter.

This exclusive news that was sure to skyrocket to popularity would turn any fresh Star Web reporter into a bigshot in the industry.

Since Tian Ningning was not suitable, she could give the chance away to someone else as a favor. This would allow her to become friends with a bigshot in the industry.

This Star Web reporter could also be of service to Sky City through Tian Ningning.

Lin Yuan immediately called Tian Ningning and told her about this matter.

Tian Ningning made her way over to the Return from Faraway Mansion without hesitation.

When she arrived, she rushed over to Lin Yuan and thrust information on three Star Web reporters into his hands so he could pick one of them.

As Lin Yuan carefully looked through the information, he saw that one of them was called Yu Fang, and she was a new Star Web reporter. She was a fresh graduate—a plain canvas without any experience.

Tian Ningning introduced Yu Fang while Lin Yuan was reading through her information. She was currently interning under Tian Ningning.

If Lin Yuan chose Yu Fang, Tian Ningning planned on starting a Star Web reporter office and signing Yu Fang as one of the reporters before giving her this opportunity. This would ensure that Yu Fang would not jump ship once she received this precious chance.

The second Star Web reporter candidate was called Wang Rui.

When Lin Yuan saw Wang Rui's photo, he could safely say that Wang Rui was at least 50 years old. At that age, anyone with skill would have made a name for themselves and become a Star Web editor or chief editor. Those who had not reached such heights were pariahs who only wrote what they liked and had offended many people.

In Tian Ningning's introduction of Wang Rui, she confirmed that he was this exact person.

She had chosen Wang Rui because he had offended the chief editor and was ostracized by the Star Web community to the point that he was on the brink of becoming unemployed.

Tian Ningning was confident that she would be able to convince Wang Rui to join her office.

Lin Yuan immediately disregarded Wang Rui. He was only looking for a mouthpiece that transferred information. A rebellious old man would not be able to perform this function at all.

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow the moment he read through the third set of information.

The girl in this set of information was in her 20s or 30s. She had long curly hair that fell to her waist, but not a strand of hair was out of place. It was clear that she was a capable woman.

She had deep-set and charming eyes.

Her resume was also stellar, and she had interviewed members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

However, she had once reported on a team from a guild club and had been shut down by them. This guild club was Savage Snake Guild Club, with which Lin Yuan had previously crossed swords.

Her name was Zhou Man, and she had to have known that the leader of Savage Snake Guild Club was vicious, scheming, and would retaliate against the slightest attack.

Yet, the fact that she had still gone ahead with what she did proved that she had an extremely strong sense of justice and morals. This indicated that she did not care about being put in danger.

While looking through Zhou Man's information, Lin Yuan realized that Tian Ningning had looked into Zhou Man with the most detail, and her verbal introduction of Zhou Man was the longest. She also intentionally brought up how Zhou Man had researched public relations.

Lin Yuan had asked Tian Ningning to become Dome Guild Club's team reporter. It was too much work for Tian Ningning to be the only team reporter for a guild club. Since Zhou Man was capable, Lin Yuan felt that it would be good for her to become Tian Ningning's assistant.

Lin Yuan found Zhou Man being shut down by Savage Snake Guild Club to be a joke.

Tian Ningning had made more than one suggestive inclination toward Zhou Man during her introduction.

Chapter 1375: News of the Second Strange Seed

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As Lin Yuan looked at Tian Ningning's hopeful expression, he handed Zhou Man's information to Tian Ningning and said, "Tian Ningning, do you think you'll be able to get Zhou Man?"

Tian Ningning nodded with delight and said, "I will. Sister Man is practically my mentor."

Lin Yuan's eyebrow twitched, and he replied, "Then, go and do it. After you're done, tell Zhou Man to come up with a draft for the Star Web article on the matter I just told you about and send it to me."

Tian Ningning excitedly left the Return from Faraway Mansion.

Before she came to understand Lin Yuan, Tian Ningning would never have shown him Zhou Man's information.

But now that she knew that Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress' disciple, the Savage Snake Guild Club's shutdown of Zhou Man seemed insignificant.

In less than four hours, Tian Ningning sent the soft copy of Zhou Man's article to Lin Yuan.

After Lin Yuan read through the article, he found it to be acceptable. Zhou Man had written clearly and objectively. She only wrote about the result and not the process. It was as though she was writing from a third-party angle.

This article would leave room for boundless imagination and guessing when posted on Star Web.

With Lin Yuan's approval, Zhou Man nervously logged onto Star Web. She stalled for some time and checked the article numerous times before posting it. She knew that her life would be forever changed once this article was posted.

She would gain a new lease of life and could start posting articles on Star Web again. Zhou Man was full of gratitude for Tian Ningning and the young man who Tian Ningning had said was the Moon Empress' disciple.

Zhou Man's article immediately made a huge splash on Star Web.

No one on Star Web had mentioned the conflict between Sky City and Connected Beast Park for the past two days. But that was not because Star Web's users had forgotten about the conflict but because the most recent events had been too shocking, and there had not been any new news on the conflict.

...

As such, the public could only speculate what was happening under the table.

But now, the disciple of a member of royalty was involved, and he put a stop to the conflict between Sky City and Connected Beast Park. It was no wonder that Sky City and Connected Beast Park had been so quiet.

Zhou Man's article mentioned the Moon Empress' disciple to squash any possible issues that could arise due to fighting between factions before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

The Moon Empress' disciple's action caused Sky City to gain a new wave of fans on Star Web.

They had remained popular in the few months since Sky City had been established. Their mystique and wealth only helped them to gain a swarm of loyal fans who were unhappy that the Moon Empress' disciple was interfering in this matter and caused Sky City to be unable to destroy Connected Beast Park as revenge.

Thus, two camps emerged on Star Web. One side represented Sky City while the other side represented the Moon Empress' disciple, and they engaged in a clash of opinions.

At the same time, Lin Yuan's faith power climbed rapidly. He knew that this increase in faith power would sustain him for some time.

However, no event could remain popular forever, and this event was no exception. Nonetheless, Lin Yuan was not worried because Black would be stealing all the thunder at the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection a month later. At that time, the influx of faith power would return.

After Zhou Man published the article, many Star Web reporters started to follow this event. Although many of them were secretly jealous of Zhou Man, a Star Web reporter who was supposed to have been shut down by Savage Snake Guild Club but had now gotten her hands on such juicy news, it was not prohibited for such public relations articles to be posted on Star Web.

After the Star Web reporters picked up on this news, they immediately rushed in to write articles based on their own opinion. As long as they jumped on the bandwagon fast enough, they would be able to spread this trending and profitable piece of news.

This matter had only been released for half a day. But before Lin Yuan could contact Connected Beast Park, Miao Zhenshan had called Lin Yuan with his teeth gnashed.

Lin Yuan did not bother with courtesy during the call with Miao Zhenshan and asked for the Nirvana Phoenix Flowers in Connected Beast Park's vault.

Expectedly, Miao Zhenshan would not dare to say no.

Lin Yuan did not say much else to Miao Zhenshan, but the latter tried to gain Lin Yuan's favor multiple times by acting submissive.

Lin Yuan had decided not to destroy Connected Beast Park to gain faith power but also to try and use the relationship between Connected Beast Park and Whale Ocean Commerce to try and find the strange seed with Immortal aura.

Thus, he subtly mentioned the collaboration between Connected Beast Park and Whale Ocean Commerce while putting up an oppressive front.

Miao Zhenshan was struggling to find something to talk to Lin Yuan about. He was afraid of saying something wrong and offending Lin Yuan.

Now that Lin Yuan had expressed interest in the collaboration between Connected Beast Park and Whale Ocean Commerce, Miao Zhenshan instantly told Lin Yuan the information that Di Wancheng had stressed to keep secret.

"Lord Lin Yuan, our collaboration with Whale Ocean Commerce hasn't started. Di Wancheng said they decided to work with us in order to strengthen a seed. This seed has not been sent to us, so I'm not clear on it. Now that you've rescued Connected Beast Park, there is nothing left for Whale Ocean Commerce to worry about, and they should be sending us the seed very soon to press forward with the collaboration."

A flame of fury ignited within Miao Zhenshan. Upd𝒂ted chapters 𝒐n n𝒐

He thought about how he had been rejected when he asked Whale Ocean Commerce for help. After the rejection, he had thought about ending the collaboration with Whale Ocean Commerce more than once. However, Di Wancheng had threatened him, and he could not ignore Whale Ocean Commerce's wrath.

To put it bluntly, Miao Zhenshan had submitted to Whale Ocean Commerce and allowed himself to be threatened into working with Whale Ocean Commerce.

Thus, Miao Zhenshan felt good telling Lin Yuan about the information he had promised Whale Ocean Commerce that he would not reveal.

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard what Miao Zhenshan said.

'Seed? Could the seed that Whale Ocean Commerce wants Connected Beast Park to nurture be the same type of seed that Red Thorn has consumed?'

Chapter 1376: The Desperately Pining Luo Ya

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Lin Yuan was not sure if Red Thorn's Tongue of Relinquish would be able to evolve again after consuming another strange seed that had Immortal aura, the last strange seed it had consumed had enabled it to evolve its bloodline to pinnacle six wings. Thus, it was possible that absorbing another one would enable Red Thorn's bloodline to break through to eight wings and start a new record for fairy-type feys

Lin Yuan said emotionlessly, "Oh? I see! Three of Connected Beast Park's thearch-class experts died during the blood pact ultimate fight against the Sea Bliss Clan. There should still be four thearch-class experts left out of the seven I provided you with. I'll visit you when I have time and use more Law Crystals to enable you to replenish the three thearch-class experts that you lost. I'll also see what this seed is that Whale Ocean Commerce needs another faction to nurture for them."

The first half of what Lin Yuan said hooked Miao Zhenshan. Although the three dead new thearch-class experts had been slightly unbearable, the three of them had still added to Connected Beast Park's thearch-class power, and Miao Zhenshan was sad to have lost them.

Now that Lin Yuan said that he could replenish the lost thearch-class combat power, Miao Zhenshan was so happy that he started pacing around his study.

He had been so delighted that he had not heard the second half of what Lin Yuan said and agreed instantly.

It was only when Miao Zhenshan's joy faded away that he realized what the second half of what Lin Yuan said meant.

If Whale Ocean Commerce had helped Connected Beast Park, even if the matter had not been completely solved, Miao Zhenshan would still have kept his promise and kept the seed from Lin Yuan.

But now that Miao Zhenshan was clinging to Lin Yuan and wanted the Radiant Moon Palace's support, he was no longer afraid of Whale Ocean Commerce.

Miao Zhenshan knew that following Lin Yuan would only bring about benefits. If Lin Yuan wanted to see Whale Ocean Commerce's seed, he could.

As for the last part of what Lin Yuan said, it was the exact suspicion that Miao Zhenshan had been having.

Whale Ocean Commerce was a faction formed from three top factions. Before they combined, Sea Sky Nurture's Creation Master resources were even stronger than that of Connected Beast Park.

After they combined, Whale Ocean Commerce started to greedily consume resources. Sea Sky Nurture's Creation Master resources would have improved significantly with all these resources.

So, why did Whale Ocean Commerce still want to work with Connected Beast Park? Why couldn't they do something as small as evolving a seed on their own?

...

As he thought about Whale Ocean Commerce's recent uncharacteristic behavior and how Sea Sky Nurture had not been seen in public for years, Miao Zhenshan instinctively felt something was wrong.

Sea Sky Nurture's Creation Masters had always liked to show their faces in public, and Miao Zhenshan had been close with several of Sea Sky Nurture's Creation Masters. They had invited Miao Zhenshan to Creation Master gatherings many times.

Yet, the last time Miao Zhenshan had seen them was over a decade ago. Even if they had become recluses, ten years seemed too long.

Given the personalities of Sea Sky Nurture's Creation Masters, they should not have been able to stay away from society for a decade.

Miao Zhenshan mulled over this issue for a long time.

But in order to get on Lin Yuan's good side, Miao Zhenshan decided to say as a business titbit, "Lord Lin Yuan, the Creation Masters from Sea Sky Nurture have not been seen in over a decade. I can't help but feel that Whale Ocean Commerce is planning something. Otherwise, there's no other reason for Sea Sky Nurture's Creation Masters to work for ten years straight without showing their face in public."

Lin Yuan thought,?It looks like Whale Ocean Commerce hid the Sea Sky Nurture incident well! Even Connected Beast Park, who works so closely with them, has zero clue.

However, Lin Yuan had saved Ji Feng and discovered that every Sea Sky Nurture member had been killed by Ten Thousand Flags Trading a decade ago.

Naturally, Lin Yuan would not tell Miao Zhenshan about this in case he stopped working with Whale Ocean Commerce.

After putting down the phone, Lin Yuan soon received the Nirvana Phoenix Flowers from Miao Zhuo.

He brought the 31 Nirvana Phoenix Flowers to the Spirit Lock spatial zone and took out 31 jade pots in which he wanted the Nirvana Phoenix Flowers. Then, he positioned the Nirvana Phoenix Flowers in a corner of the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Although the Nirvana Phoenix Flower had a similar function to the Dragon's Mouth Orchid, it did not only grow new flowers when its old flowers were plucked off. The Nirvana Phoenix Flower's flowers would fall naturally when they reached a certain maturity.

The fallen Nirvana Phoenix Flowers would slowly wither in a place without spirit qi. But in a spirit qi rich environment, the fallen Nirvana Phoenix Flowers would be preserved for a long time.

After Lin Yuan planted the Nirvana Phoenix Flowers, he evolved them to Bronze/Epic.

Next, he instructed the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope to bury a fire-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl in the pot of each Nirvana Phoenix Flower every two weeks to provide the Nirvana Phoenix Flowers with fire-elemental energy.

The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was now extremely smart and had reached Legend quality.

Although the Spirit Lock spatial zone had reached 160 square meters, there was still insufficient space for the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope to move around freely. Upd𝒂ted chapters 𝒐n n𝒐

Recently, whenever Lin Yuan entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone, the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope would bound toward him even quicker. Evidently, it had eaten its fair share of wind-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

Its power was also steadily increasing. However, it required an opportunity in order to evolve its bloodline.

Lin Yuan left the Spirit Lock spatial zone and checked the time. He noticed that nine days had passed since the last Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting.

Since Wen Yu had not returned from training with Mystic Moon at the Radiant Moon Palace, they had to miss one of the weekly parliamentary meetings.

Lin Yuan understood Wen Yu well enough to know that something important had to be keeping her from returning on time. She was likely at an important stage of increasing her power.

Lin Yuan decided not to wait for Wen Yu and headed to the Divine Wood Federation. After all, he still had many things to attend to there.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to leave for the Divine Wood Federation, Luo Ya was back at Phoebe Zhennan City and waiting longingly by her window as she clasped her phone in the hopes that Lin Yuan would contact her.

The first thing that Luo Ya did when she returned to her family was to ask her father for two Item-Storing Walnut Trees.

Chapter 1377: The Skipped Astronomical Parliament

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Luo Ya had not been disturbed by Lin Yuan's lack of contact over the last three days.

But when the fourth day came around, she started to get antsy. When the fifth and sixth days arrived, Luo Ya started to suspect that Lin Yuan had seen through her.

She scrutinized her memories of their time together.

When Fu Di had suddenly attacked, it was possible that Lin Yuan had realized they were not a normal group but a group of murderous robbers.

However, she had only joined the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps to find men, and she was not interested in stealing the resources of the Great Lush Federation's merchant groups.

Or could it be that Lin Yuan was not interested in her at all? Upd𝒂ted chapters 𝒐n n𝒐

Liu Jie, dressed in silver armor and kneeling before Lin Yuan, had shocked Luo Ya to the core, and she could not help but wonder about Lin Yuan's identity.

Liu Jie had used an insect-species carcinoma fey, and it seemed to have a high grade.

To have a powerful protector at such a young age, Lin Yuan was even more imposing than the sons of Class 3 families that Luo Ya had come across. It was clear from this that he indeed was a disciple of one of the Divine Wood Federation's secret elite families.

A disciple from one of the Divine Wood Federation's secret elite families was on the same level as a Young Master from a Class 4 family in the Divine Wood Federation.

No matter how hard Luo Ya thought about it, the answer did not become clear to her, and it troubled her for days on end.

By the time the ninth day rolled around, the promiscuous Luo Ya started to reminisce about Lin Yuan's face as she looked out the window.

As she thought about how she might never come across such a handsome young man again in her life, tears of sorrow slid down her cheeks. She did not even care when her tears made her beloved purple fur cloak wet.

...

She was not the only one who had cried in the past nine days.

Yin Lin, Bei Xu, Ta Lei, and Su Yiren were even sadder than her.

The four of them had been looking forward to the weekly Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting.

They had excitedly entered a dream state on the seventh day and readied themselves to participate in the mystical meeting.

However, it was only when they awoke that they realized they had not entered the meeting at all. Their chests contracted with anxiousness, and they forced themselves to fall asleep again.

But even when the eighth day came, they still did not receive the call of the constellations.

The entire group of people from the Azure Federation riding on the Island Whale knew that the fourth Azure Envoy was in low spirits. She had even turned Lan Xun away when he went to see her in her room.

The ten young men from the Azure Federation kept their heads low in case they incurred the wrath of the fourth Azure Envoy. All of them knew the identity of the fourth Azure Envoy.

The princess of the Class 4 family Spirit White Lion had awakened both the Azure Cloud Leopard and Spirit White Lion beast patterns. Her status was unimaginable to the ten young men.

The 12 aristocratic families controlled the Azure Federation. If they offended her, they could have their Azure Hundred Sequence title stripped from them.

As she locked herself inside her room, she used the white cloth to cover her eyes for the first time since recovering her sight.

The only way she could calm herself was to touch the special book. But even when her hands turned red and started to hurt in a way that they had not hurt in a long time, she still could not find serenity.

Her attendant, Sisi, anxiously stood by her side. She could not understand what had happened to Yin Lin over the last two days. However, she knew that there was no way to coax Yin Lin out of this sudden mood change.

At that moment, Yin Lin realized how much she relied on that man who had stood at the center of the constellations, gave her sight, and transformed her life. Even though she had become the Azure Federation's fourth Azure Envoy, only he could bring her a sense of safety and stability.

But why had he broken their weekly meeting arrangement?

The more Yin Lin thought about it, the more panicked she became.

Suddenly, she remembered the man mentioning the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce that was in the Radiance Federation.

If she could find the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, did that mean that she could find that man?

Yin Lin removed the white cloth from her eyes and walked out of her room until she reached the Island Whale's head.

As she stared out at the calm sea, she wished that they would reach the Radiance Federation soon.

She felt a pang of worry when she remembered the clash between the Radiance Federation, the sea clans, and the Freedom Federation. Could it be that the man had not shown up at their meeting because of that clash?

There was supposed to be another meeting in five days. Would he show up then?

…

Bei Xu lived underground and had not seen the celestial phenomena that took place above ground.

However, he had grown significantly in the past week.

By using the Sharp Shadow Bat's Bat's Fangs Blood Seed, he had formed his own team. He decided that he would not expand the team for the time being and concentrate on increasing the team's power instead.

After overcoming several Class 1 subterranean dimensional rifts, he had found several source-type items for his team.

As he watched his team improve, Bei Xu felt a sense of accomplishment for the first time in his life.

He badly wanted to tell Lin Yuan about his achievement. He did not need Lin Yuan to praise him, but he hoped that he could make him happy. He wanted to prove to Lin Yuan that he had not wasted Lin Yuan's hopes in him and that he had made himself into a useful person.

Lin Yuan had saved his life, given him a fey, and helped him to remove his stone insect curse. Bei Xu would never be able to repay Lin Yuan for these.

Bei Xu was always hardworking. When he led his team against a Class 1 subterranean dimensional rift, it was normal for him to stay awake for three days straight.

But in order to attend the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting, Bei Xu would always sleep for the entire seventh day.

He panicked when he did not end up entering the Astronomical Parliament.

But unlike Yin Lin, he did not have the means to head to the Radiance Federation, discuss collaborations with Lin Yuan, or see him in real life. Bei Xu could not do anything other than gnashing his teeth and silently endure like a helpless animal.

In the past few days, Bei Xu's team had noticed that he was not as bright and cheerful as he used to be.

Instead, he threw himself into clearing out stone bugs and discovering new subterranean dimensional rifts. No matter how exhausted he was, or even if he ended up covered in blood, he continued to push on silently. It was clear that something was weighing on his mind.

After some time passed, Bei Xu finally collapsed on a rock, completely spent.

Under the cover of darkness, tears brimmed in his eyes, and he rubbed his nose.

He fervently hoped that he would be able to see that man who had saved him and join the party of stars five days later.

Chapter 1378: I Might Be Able to Last Another Seven Days

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ta Lei did not think much when he was unable to enter the Astronomical Parliament because the Horseshoe Tribe had encountered a group of Bronze Long-Eared Sand Foxes while they were migrating and had been trapped in the wilderness.

The Long-Eared Sand Fox was a wily wild beast-type fey that liked to move in groups. When they encountered prey, they chose to trap their prey in order to prevent individual injuries. Then, they would charge together to tire out their prey.

After their prey was famished and dehydrated to the point that they no longer had any energy, the Long-Eared Sand Foxes would then kill them.

The strongest person in the Horseshoe Tribe was Ta Lei's grandfather, whose main fey was the Silver Tunneling Mole.

Although the pinnacle Silver Tunneling Mole was stronger than the Long-Eared Sand Foxes, it would not be able to fight against a group of Long-Eared Sand Foxes in the wilderness.

Eventually, Ta Lei's grandfather used the Horseshoe Tribe's treasure, the World Flower's medicinal properties, to evolve the Tunneling Mole to Gold grade.

After the Gold Tunneling Mole killed a few of the Long-Eared Sand Foxes, the rest of the Long-Eared Sand Foxes realized how strong the Tunneling Mole was and gave up on trapping the Horseshoe Tribe.

Once a Long-Eared Sand Fox was injured in the wilderness, they would either be preyed on by stronger beasts or be consumed by the flesh-consuming insect-species feys.

Hence, even a starving beast in the wilderness would ensure that they did not become injured.

Due to the Long-Eared Sand Foxes, Ta Lei could not fall asleep for two hours, and he assumed that he had missed the meeting.

Since he could not participate in the meeting, he could not receive Lin Yuan's advice.

Hence, he could only do as Lin Yuan had said and continue to lead the Horseshoe Tribe to the boundary between the Iron Hammer Federation and Divine Wood Federation.

It was not easy to migrate an entire tribe. There were people of all ages in the tribe, and the old and young moved at almost half the speed of the strong men. Moreover, the weaker people also needed up to 20 minutes of rest after every hour of moving.

...

When the Tunneling Mole was Silver grade, the people in the Horseshoe Tribe had been worried about the migration. But now that the Tunneling Mole had evolved to Gold grade and the Horseshoe Tribe was moving along the merchant paths, the Tunneling Mole would be able to handle most of the dangers they might encounter along the way.

Ta Lei only hoped that he would not be held back by another fey during the next meeting. He was not worried that Lin Yuan would be angry at him for missing this meeting. In Ta Lei's eyes, the man wrapped in hundreds of laws and willpowers was as warm as an older brother.

Yin Lin, Bei Xu, and Ta Lei all had their own interpretations and disappointment about not attending the weekly meeting.

However, not even the combination of all their worries and negative feelings could compare to Su Yiren, who was cowering next to a trash can in an alley in Oak City.

She was a Dark Envoy from the Seven States of Darkness.

Any one of the Seven States of Darkness could not compare to the Divine Wood Federation. But when they joined together, their power could match up to that of the Startling Lines Continent, Divine Wood Federation, Iron Hammer Federation, and Great Lush Federation.

Su Yiren was used to being treated like royalty, and she only came to experience true helplessness and inner darkness when she arrived at the Divine Wood Federation.

She could not remember how many times she had been beaten up or crawled away from death's door in the past month.

Besides external factors, Su Yiren also needed to struggle through seven or eight daily bouts of soul pain.

Luckily, she had chosen to cover herself in dirt and climb inside a trash can when her soul sent her into anguish. Otherwise, she might have been seen as prey if she had been spotted in the alley.

Previously, Su Yiren would not have been willing to be controlled by any group regardless of how bad of a situation she was in because that meant that she would have to give up her freedom. This was the reason she had not immediately agreed to join the Astronomical Parliament in the first meeting that she joined.

However, now that she had decided to join the Astronomical Parliament and had accepted Lin Yuan's request, not a day went by that she did not hope that Lin Yuan would find her soon.

Lin Yuan had given the desperate Su Yiren a reason to keep living every day. She did her best to hold on and keep surviving until he found her.

But when the meeting did not take place, Su Yiren's heart was plunged into cold water. She felt as though her entire world had darkened, and her life had lost all light.

Joining the Astronomical Parliament was her sole salvation.

She had realized the moment she entered the Astronomical Parliament that the meeting was a sacred source lifeform's ability.

It was not easy to obtain sacred source lifeforms, and any faction that was able to obtain a sacred source lifeform had to be strong.

Moreover, the conversation between Yin Lin and Lin Yuan during the meeting had led Su Yiren to guess that there was more to Yin Lin's identity than what met the eye.

Previously, she had not had a hint of sacred source lifeform aura at all. But at the last meeting, the sacred source lifeform aura suddenly appeared around her.

This was proof of how important the group of people that the Astronomical Parliament had gathered were.

By now, Su Yiren saw the Astronomical Parliament and Lin Yuan as her savior. She placed all their hopes in them.

At the first moment that she realized that the meeting would not be happening, Su Yiren considered death.

She lived like a refugee every day. Every time the smell of garbage wafted into her nose, she felt her pride being chipped away.

However, she remembered what had Lin Yuan said: "As long as you're alive, there's hope."

This sentence had pulled Su Yiren out of the darkness and given her a reason to continue pushing on.

She clutched the phone she had found and mumbled to herself, "There's still hope! I might be able to last another seven days. The last seven days."

Su Yiren's body started to tremble, and the intense pain from her soul caused her to lose

consciousness.

At the Return from Faraway Mansion…

The Mother of Bloodbath, who was in its room dealing with its complicated emotions, immediately indicated that it wanted to go with Lin Yuan to the Divine Wood Federation to protect him.

But after some consideration, Lin Yuan turned down the Mother of Bloodbath.

He said seriously, "Mother of Bloodbath, your family will definitely come to the Radiance Federation to find you."

Chapter 1379: Run Toward You Without Hesitation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"If your parents come to the Radiance Federation to see you, but you're with me in the Divine Wood Federation, they'll be anxious. Moreover, Liu Jie will be with me, so I won't be in any danger. If I really end up in any danger, I will summon the Kill Food Sky Butterfly immediately."

The Mother of Bloodbath knew that Lin Yuan was saying such things for its sake, but it did not feel happy. As Lin Yuan's Path Protector, being unable to be by his side when he went out to train was considered a failure in its duty.

Moreover, it thought about how Lin Yuan had used his sacred source lifeform to produce that attack to reduce its temperature.

The Mother of Bloodbath knew Lin Yuan was just as powerful as it was and could now protect it. This made the Mother of Bloodbath feel like it was still far off from Lin Yuan, and this feeling only grew stronger.

Feys always had simple feelings, and this also applied to the respect and admiration felt by this female spider.

While the Mother of Bloodbath was engulfed by its dejection, Lin Yuan placed his hand on its shoulder.

Lin Yuan assumed that the Mother of Bloodbath's unhappy expression was a result of questioning why its parents had abandoned it.

He did not know how to comfort the Mother of Bloodbath about this. Its emotional entanglement could only be assuaged when it met its family.

Lin Yuan brushed aside the strands of hair on the Mother of Bloodbath's shoulder and said, "Given your parents' power, they should arrive at the Radiance Federation this month. If you're bored waiting, why don't you hold an event and ask your friends out for a food fest?"

The Mother of Bloodbath's heart warmed, and it could see the genuine concern that Lin Yuan had for it in his eyes.

His concern was like a light summer breeze that blew away all its problems and caused its heart to tremble. But the more its heart trembled, the more real the feeling was to the Mother of Bloodbath.

The Mother of Bloodbath smiled. A smile spread across its usual icy-cold expression, its red eyes shined, and lips curled with mesmerizing beauty. It looked like a flower that had just bloomed.

"Lin Yuan, it won't be enough if you only have Liu Jie with you at the Divine Wood Federation. Ji Feng has been spending his time at the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce because he can't show his face around here. Why don't you take him to the Divine Wood Federation?

...

"With Ji Feng there, he can help protect you against danger too. The Kill Food Sky Butterfly guards the marsh world. It would be bad if danger befalls the marsh world during the time you summoned the Kill Food Sky Butterfly out of the marsh world.

"I will go to guard the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. It'll also give me a chance to form a marrow contract with the sacred source lifeform you gave me. I'll also use the time to familiarize myself with the changes to my ability that took place after my transformation into a Heavenly Family Fey."

Lin Yuan suddenly realized that he had neglected Ji Feng as of late.

Ji Feng could not show his face in the Radiance Federation, especially the Royal Capital. But once he was out of the Radiance Federation and Whale Ocean Commerce's range, he would be able to move about freely.

Lin Yuan saw it as great that the Mother of Bloodbath could focus on forming a contract with its sacred source lifeform and increasing its power instead of feeling conflicted about its family.

"Mother of Bloodbath, I would like to see what your sacred source lifeform is when I get back so I can prepare resources for it to increase its Stars."

The Mother of Bloodbath suddenly felt as though it was looking at the young C-rank spirit qi professional who had just arrived at the Radiant Moon Palace.

In half a year, that young man had experienced more than others experienced in a lifetime. Yet, he was still the same person. The Mother of Bloodbath was suddenly filled with the urge to hug this young man without hesitation. ViiSiit n𝒐velb𝒊/n.c/(𝒐)m for l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels

But the Mother of Bloodbath was able to control its impulse at the last moment.

I want to charge at you without hesitation! But compared to you, I'm not good enough.

The Mother of Bloodbath suddenly felt pressure weighing down on it.

Although it was not a lazy fey, it knew that it needed to work much harder if it wanted to run into his arms.

Lin Yuan brought the Floating Silver that he had taken from the basement and eight Spirit Craftsmen that Hu Quan had chosen with him to the Divine Wood Federation.

He filled the Jeweled Cave Golden Toad with the eight Spirit Craftsmen and Ji Feng as he crossed through the Space Tunnel to arrive at the Divine Wood Federation.

As soon as he recovered from his dizziness and nausea, Lin Yuan was shocked by what he saw.

When he left, the underground palace had only progressed as far as a hole. The walls had not even been staked yet.

But now, the enormous underground palace had scaffolding made of steel pieces, and the general area had been cordoned off.

Hu Quan drew designs as he directed the Spirit Craftsmen to rush the spies from the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps to move ironwood pulp.

Hu Tian was directing the Scary Claw Rock Bear to use its Heavy Rock Law to turn the ironwood pulp and sand into pieces of rocks.

Hu Quan excitedly ran up to Lin Yuan and asked, "Young Mater, have you found the Floating Silver? We only need Floating Silver now to bury it in the radium metal walls. Then, the rocks produced by Hu Tian will be able to add the rock pieces, and the walls will be ready to be carved.

"Because of your idea of creating a restricted area, I'm planning on carving the Bone Lotus Flowers produced by that six-winged fairy on the walls of the underground palace. I'll also carve maps of the Divine Wood Federation, Iron Hammer Federation, and Great Lush Federation in the middle of the carvings of the Bone Lotus Flowers so the wall will become a mural. It will look like the flowers are eating up the world. What do you think?"

Lin Yuan did not have anything to say about Hu Quan's design idea. Hu Quan could do whatever he wanted.

Although Lin Yuan did not want to talk about the design, he wanted to give suggestions about its functions.

He had spoken with Ta Lei at the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting. He planned on asking Ta Lei to send a request to the Iron Hammer imperial court to seal off the border between the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation as the Horseshoe Tribe's territory. Then, the Horseshoe Tribe would build a city in that area.

Its geographical location would make the city the link between the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation. This city in the middle of nowhere would attract people. Besides the restricted area that would be shrouded by mist, they needed something else that would attract people.

Chapter 1380: Hu Tian Talks About His Performance

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This would be what Startling Lines Continent lacked the most—Creation Master resources.

Thus, they had to assign some rooms in the underground palace as breeding rooms.

"I've solved the Floating Silver issue, and I'll be able to give it to you two days later. I have no worries when it comes to your design. However, when you're building the underground palace. I hope that some of the rooms can be dedicated to being Creation Master breeding rooms.

"Uncle Hu, why don't you embed some jade-textured wood into the mural? We can also add several Sunlight King Lotuses and plant-type feys that can release spirit qi to the underground palace to ensure that the underground palace has light. The freshness of the jade-textured wood would also cover up the musky smell of dirt."

Hu Quan's eyes lit up. He loved when Lin Yuan had design ideas that combined feys and design. This was the kind of design idea that Hu Quan lacked.

!

As a Spirit Craftsman, Hu Quan would never casually think about adding something as precious as plant-type feys that could release spirit qi to his design.

Hu Tian, who was directing the Scary Claw Rock Bear to produce rock pieces, had been trying to find an opportunity to talk to Lin Yuan ever since he saw him.

However, he had been talking to Hu Quan from the moment he arrived, and Hu Quan was not left with any gap through which he could squeeze himself into to say something to Lin our B 0n no

1

When Hu Quan started to add the jade-textured wood to his design, Hu Tian took the opportunity to pad up to Lin Yuan and say, "Lord, I haven't dared to rest at all the past six days just so you'll be able to see the changes in the underground palace when you return. Over the past six days, I've produced almost all the rock pieces that the underground palace needs."

Lin Yuan immediately saw through Hu Tian's intention. He was trying to tell Lin Yuan about his performance.

But before Lin Yuan could even say anything, Hu Quan rolled his eyes and snapped at Hu Tian, "What do you mean you produced all the rock pieces that the underground palace needs? Would you have worked so hard if I didn't keep an eye on you? Also, who told you that the underground palace would only have one floor?

"After the first floor is done, we can build a second, a third, or even more floors to increase the functions available in the underground palace as long as Young Master wants them to be there. You've only worked for six days, yet you're so eager to show off. Don't tell me you're trying to hint at some benefits? Sky City has destroyed the Zheng family. As Sky City's servant that came from the Zheng family, isn't it a given that you should be working?"

As Hu Quan and Hu Tian had been working together over the past few days, Hu Quan became increasingly displeased with this man who shared the same surname as him. He could sense the reason Hu Tian was working.

Directing the Scary Claw Rock Bear to produce rock pieces was easy work, yet Hu Tian acted as though he was exhausted.

Did he think that his Myth Breed fey was a Platinum fey?

It was clear that Hu Tian was acting for Hu Quan's benefit so that Hu Quan would speak highly of his efforts to Lin Yuan.

Spirit Craftsmanship was a trade of the heart, and Hu Quan detested people who put on a front and always wanted to make sure people knew that they were working. This described Hu Tian to a tee.

Thus, when Hu Tian told Lin Yuan about what he had done, Hu Quan mercilessly took him down a peg.

Hu Quan's words caused the smiling Hu Tian, who was waiting to be rewarded by Lin Yuan, to crumple up with awkwardness.

In the Radiance Federation, Class 5 Spirit Craftsmen were sought after by veteran and top factions. After all, the furniture, decorations, and other items they created could demonstrate a faction's status. Điscover n𝒆w chapt𝒆rs 𝒐n n0𝒗e(l)bi𝒏.com

Although Class 5 Spirit Craftsmen were even rarer than Class 4 Creation Masters, Class 4 Creation Masters still held a higher rank than Class 5 Spirit Craftsmen.

Hu Tian had intentionally worked hard in front of Hu Quan because Lin Yuan thought highly of Hu Quan.

In fact, Hu Tian did not care for Hu Quan. He felt that given his status as a Class 4 Creation Master, Hu Quan had no reason to offend him.

However, Hu Tian's scheme had fallen short.

Hu Quan did not care about what Hu Tian thought at all, nor did he try to save Hu Tian's face because he did not just see himself as a member of Sky City.

After spending time with Lin Yuan, the parentless and childless Hu Quan had come to see Lin Yuan as family. He did not want Lin Yuan to have the wool pulled over his eyes by Hu Tian.

Hu Quan knew that Hu Tian would try harder in his schemes if he managed to trick Lin Yuan this time.

Lin Yuan's ambiguous smile made Hu Tian think about what Lin Yuan had done in the Zheng family's guest room.

Hu Tian could not help but shiver in fear, and he said to Lin Yuan with a quiver in his voice, "Lord, I'm not trying to show off my work. I am your servant, and it's only right that I do whatever you ask of me."

Lin Yuan ignored Hu Tian and turned to say to Hu Quan, "Uncle Hu, keep Hu Tian with you. I only brought eight Spirit Craftsmen with me. With Hu Tian's help in making rock pieces, you won't have to fire the ironwood pulp yourself to turn it into rock pieces."

Hu Quan sneered at Hu Tian before he nodded and said, "Young Master, I won't hold back on Hu Tian. We need to carve a mural for the underground palace. So, we'll need at least two layers of rock pieces to make it look like it's coming out from the wall. If you can provide enough Floating Silver, I suggest adding another layer of Floating Silver as well to better protect against unwanted surveillance."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Uncle Hu, you'll have more than enough Floating Silver."

He looked at the terrified Hu Tian and said sternly, "You can have rewards if you want. I'm never stingy with loyal people. However, I only reward people who put in the effort. If you ever satisfy Uncle Hu while working under him, I will give you five earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls."

Lin Yuan took out the Jeweled Cave Golden Toad and let Liu Jie, Ji Feng, and the eight Spirit Craftsmen out.

The eight Spirit Craftsmen immediately went to work after receiving instructions from Hu Quan.

Liu Jie took in the underground palace and was shocked by the progress. He walked over to Hu Quan and gave him a Diamond fey storage box as he said, "Uncle Hu, here is some food I cooked. They're all dishes that you usually like to eat. I placed them inside lunch boxes made of Support Spirit Wood. I made about 15 days' worth of food. This should last you until the next time I'm here."

Support Spirit Wood was a strong wood that could preserve freshness. The Spirit Food Pavilion used lunchboxes made of Support Spirit Wood whenever they delivered food.

The lunchboxes that Liu Jie used had been given to him by Zong Ze when Zong Ze came to visit.

Hu Quan received the Diamond fey storage box and said with a smile, "Getting to design and build an underground palace already brings me joy. If I can eat your food on top of it, it'll only be piling on the joy!"

Chapter 1381: Lin Yuan: Unpredictable Fortune and Misfortune

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Hu Quan paused before saying, "Liu Jie, increasing your power is the most important thing at your age. You don't have to specially prepare food for me the next time you come. I'll be happy enough if you can grill some meat for me when you're here. Your food is so good that I can't control my appetite. If I eat too much, I'll become lethargic, and it'll affect the progress of the construction."

Liu Jie shook his head and said, "Uncle Hu, it's no trouble at all. I made this food when I was cooking meals in the mansion. It doesn't take much extra time. You said that it'd pile on the happiness. More happiness is always better."

Liu Jie knew that Hu Quan was afraid of taking up Liu Jie's time.

Liu Jie was not good at expressing his feelings and would not say anything to the people close to him to show that he cared. Instead, he would silently use his actions to show them.

However, he had no clue that Hu Quan already knew how thoughtful Liu Jie was.

!

Hu Quan hated to eat pig intestines, but he liked various types of lamb and beef. No one else in the mansion liked to eat these, so it was impossible that Liu Jie made them part of his usual menu for the mansion.

Ji Feng had not seen Lin Yuan in days. When he had last been in the mansion, he had been too anxious to leave that he had not had the time to speak with Lin Yuan.

A week ago, the Karma Sword Lily had predicted that the Mother of Bloodbath would run into misfortune. But before Ji Feng could call Lin Yuan to tell him about this, the Karma Sword Lily had predicted that the Mother of Bloodbath's misfortune would turn into fortune.

The type of prediction that involved misfortune progressing into fortune was extraordinary. The misfortune had to happen for the fortune to come after.

Because of this reason, Ji Feng had not told Lin Yuan about the prediction for fear that the Mother of Bloodbath would try to avoid the misfortune and end up missing out on the fortune.

Besides the prediction about the Mother of Bloodbath, the Karma Sword Lily had predicted last night that something important would happen to Lin Yuan. This event was so enormous that the Karma Sword Lily was not powerful enough to tell if it was going to be misfortune or fortune.

This made Ji Feng worried about Lin Yuan. But at the same time, he was afraid that if he told Lin Yuan about this unclear prediction, Lin Yuan would start to hesitate in his future actions.

After mulling over this dilemma, Ji Feng decided to tell Lin Yuan about this.

It would be fine if the event was going to be fortuitous. But if it was going to bring Lin Yuan misfortune, it could threaten his life. Thus, Ji Feng threw all caution to the wind.

Ji Feng called Lin Yuan aside and whispered the prediction to him.

Lin Yuan narrowed his eyes, but his face did not display any worry or fear.

He had come a long way from that sickly boy in the Xia Region. Now, he had the confidence to take on any challenge.

Even if he encountered serious danger, he had no lack of people around him that he could turn to for help. The strongest helper he had was White Speak, who had returned to the marsh world to guard the territory.

After the battle with Shark Awn, Lin Yuan confirmed that White Speak would be able to utilize power that was just below Eternal power if it had Lin Yuan's help.

White Speak had been able to conquer a pinnacle Immortal Sea Emperor using its Immortal body in the sea. Not even regular pinnacle Immortal feys would be able to achieve this.

Besides White Speak, Lin Yuan also had the Extreme Token the Moon Empress gave him.

These were all Lin Yuan's safety nets.

It was often said that one had to be flexible enough to adapt to the situation at hand. Upd𝒂ted chapters 𝒐n n𝒐

Lin Yuan was confident that he would be able to handle any challenge. Regardless of whether it was going to be fortune or misfortune, Lin Yuan would trudge steadily on.

When Ji Feng saw Lin Yuan's expression, he knew that what he had told Lin Yuan had not brought any worry or hesitation to him.

Now, Ji Feng could relax.

At that moment, Lin Yuan prepared to walk around the exterior of the underground palace to see the progress of Silver Corona's sea of bone lotus flowers.

When he walked out of the underground palace, he was immediately surprised by Silver Corona.

When Lin Yuan left, the sea of bone lotus flowers had only been about the size of a football field. But now, it was at least ten times larger.

According to Lin Yuan's plan, the sea of flowers was supposed to reach the border of the Iron Hammer Federation.

Previously, the alien insects that poured forth from the Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift opened using the Shatter Spatial Stone had been consumed almost instantly by the merciless bone lotus flowers.

But now, Lin Yuan saw the Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift spit out bright green and fat alien insects. He knew that this was called the Acid Tapeworm.

The Acid Tapeworm relied on the acid in its body to attack and had one of the weaker defenses amongst the Class 3 alien insects. But despite its weak defense, it was still a Class 3 alien insect.

Before the Acid Tapeworm could struggle in the sea of bone lotus flowers, it was immediately trampled over by the bone insects. The bone insects easily broke through the Acid Tapeworm's skin and entered its body.

The Acid Tapeworm cried out in pain. Acid flowed out of its body and caused the bone lotus flowers around it to rot.

At that moment, a shadow of a hand holding a scythe suddenly appeared next to the Acid Tapeworm and sliced it up. A one-meter-long gash was left on the Acid Tapeworm's back.

Green acid shot out of the one-meter-long gash. Before the acid could land on the shadow of a hand holding a scythe, the shadow melted into the white mist.

The Acid Tapeworm's eyes looked suspicious as to the disappearance of its enemy.

The hand holding the scythe appeared above the Acid Tapeworm's head. It sliced downward and plunged the half-meter-long scythe into the Acid Tapeworm's head. The Acid Tapeworm lost its life in a flash.

Lin Yuan immediately linked the shadow of a hand holding a scythe to the Hermit's Dead Servant. It must have been produced while the sea of flowers had been killing the waves of alien insects.

When Lin Yuan left, Silver Corona had only been Bronze III/Elite. But in the short span of five days, it had reached Bronze VI/Flawless.

This speed of evolution showed that Silver Corona was a carcinoma fey whose true self lay in conquering and destroying.

The more souls the hermit dead servants consumed, the stronger they would become.

It was clear that they had not reached their full strength. Yet, they were already able to kill a Class 3 alien insect of relatively equal power as a Gold fey when Silver Corona was only Bronze grade.

Lin Yuan could not imagine how terrifying the bone powder mist would become after the hermit dead servants consumed even more souls.

Chapter 1382: Evolved Sea of Bone Lotus Flowers

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Moreover, Silver Corona's exclusive skill could produce not just one but 36 hermit dead servants. The hermit dead servants could hide in the bone powder mist and pop out at any time. It was as though they were shapeless assassins crouching in the mist.

When Lin Yuan had left, the bone powder mist hanging above the sea of bone lotus flowers had not completely blocked Lin Yuan's sight.

But now, there was a layer of light gray mist within the bone powder mist. This light gray mist should be a sign that another hermit dead servant was being produced.

Once the 36 hermit dead servants were produced from the sea of bone lotus flowers, Silver Corona would be able to easily kill a team of 100 people without even using the bone lotus flowers.

Silver Corona saw Lin Yuan walking out of the underground palace.

It had ordered the hermit dead servants to kill the Acid Tapeworm.

Silver Corona had not seen Lin Yuan in a few days and missed him terribly. Hence, it immediately showed off its growth over the past few days.

At that moment, Liu Jie and Ji Feng walked out of the underground palace.

When Liu Jie saw the bone lotus flowers and the Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift, he suggested, "Lin Yuan, although Silver Corona's grade isn't very high, a Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift isn't a challenge for it anymore. Given the extent that the sea of flowers has spread, it should be able to handle another few Class 1 alien insect dimensional rifts."

As Lin Yuan looked at Silver Corona, who had landed on his shoulder and was nuzzling his neck with its face, he stroked its silver hair and pulled Silver Corona to his palm as he asked, "Silver Corona, will you be able to handle two of the same dimensional rifts?"

Silver Corona said confidently, "Yuan, counting this one, you can open another three of the same dimensional rifts, and I'll be able to handle it. Recently, the 2,000 bone lotus flowers I focused on producing absorbed 50% of all the vitality from the dimensional lifeforms and have become powerful. After some testing, I realized that these 2,000 bone lotus flowers can hold down Class 3 alien insects."

Lin Yuan shook his head. He could not guarantee that the next dimensional rift he opened would be an alien insect dimensional rift. Whether it was marsh dimensional rifts, subterranean rifts, or abyss dimensional rifts, their dimensional lifeforms were all stronger than alien insects on average.

However, Lin Yuan did not scare Silver Corona with this information. Silver Corona needed to have experience in order to grow.

...

Lin Yuan strode into the sea of flowers. The bone lotus flowers did not attack Lin Yuan. Rather, they gently swayed by his feet as though they were welcoming their master to come in and look around. Upd𝒂ted chapters 𝒐n n𝒐

Lin Yuan found a place far away from the Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift and took out the Shatter Spatial Stone to open another Class 1 dimensional rift.

Soon, the Class 1 dimensional rift opened. The Shatter Spatial Zone opened a Class 1 subterranean dimensional rift this time.

A large amount of subterranean dimensional lifeforms emerged and were immediately caught and torn to shreds by the bone lotus flowers.

It did not take long for the first Class 3 subterranean dimensional lifeform to emerge. It was the Stone Statue Monster.

The Stone Statue Monster hurriedly flew up into the air when it saw the bone lotus flowers that were about to trap it. But it remained within the bone powder mist no matter how high it flew.

A silver gleam flashed across Silver Corona's eyes when it saw the Class 3 Stone Statue Monster.

The bone powder mist started to swirl, and the mist turned white on the Stone Statue Monster's light green skin.

At that moment, bone insects crawled all over the Class 3 Stone Statue Monster. They used their sharp mouths to tear the Stone Statue Monster's skin. No matter how hard the Stone Statue Monster flapped its wings, it was unable to shake off the bone insects.

Nonetheless, the Stone Statue Monster still dared not land on the ground to beat its wings against the ground. It even tried to slam its body against rocks in an attempt to crush the bone insects to death.

The ground was covered with bone lotus flowers. Once the Stone Statue Monster landed on the ground, it would immediately be held down by the bone lotus flowers, and it would not be able to fly up again.

Lin Yuan watched as the Stone Statue Monster was bitten into pieces by the bone insects. All that was left was its heart, which landed among the sea of bone lotus flowers.

The bone lotus flowers quickly transported the Stone Statue Monster's heart to the area where Silver Corona stored its treasures.

Since Silver Corona could even handle a dimensional lifeform with a good defense like the Stone Statue Monster, Silver Corona would even be able to handle a Class 3 Horn Demon, which was the dimensional lifeform with the strongest combat power in an abyss dimensional rift.

Lin Yuan decided to respect Silver Corona and opened another two Class 1 dimensional rifts in another two locations within the sea of bone lotus flowers. One of them was a Class 1 marsh dimensional rift, while the other was a Class 1 abyss dimensional rift.

Four dimensional rifts gathered in the sea of bone lotus flowers. Since Silver Corona was faced with the dimensional lifeforms from four Class 1 dimensional rifts, it did not have the energy to continue playing with Lin Yuan.

Silver Corona went to the center of the sea of bone lotus flowers and tried its best to use the bone lotus flowers to attack the dimensional lifeforms from the four dimensional rifts.

Every time a Class 3 dimensional lifeform emerged, Silver Corona would use a hermit dead servant to kill it as it was afraid that it would not be able to handle more than one Class 3 dimensional lifeform at once.

Liu Jie ordered the Insect Queen to produce two Diamond X Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects to protect Silver Corona.

He had seen Silver Corona use the sea of bone lotus flowers last time, so he was not as shocked as he had been in spite of the bone lotus flowers' rapid development.

However, this was the first time Ji Feng had come to the Divine Wood Federation with Lin Yuan, and the sight before him utterly stupefied him.

As the Young Leader of Sea Sky Nurture, Ji Feng had his fair share of experiences. However, he had never seen a fairy source-type lifeform transformed from a carcinoma fey use such purely cruel methods. Moreover, this fairy that was not even Silver grade had six wings!

Ji Feng had been running for his life for ten years. At that moment, he suspected that the fey world was not the same fey world he had known a decade ago.

Chapter 1383: Goal, Phoebe Zhennan City

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Silver Corona still needed time to grow. Increasing its grade and quality as well as producing more hermit dead servants required more than one or two days.

Now that Lin Yuan had seen Silver Corona, he planned on looking for the Class 4 Vein Land Imp. He wondered if Heavy Mountain had found the heart of the Spirit Settling Silver Ore vein.

Lin Yuan asked Liu Jie and Ji Feng to head to the area which the Web Area Glass Spider had wrapped up.

Lin Yuan looked up at the translucent Web Area Glass Spider lazily lying on the web. From this, he knew that everything had been calm and peaceful in the days that he had not been here.

When he reached the area where the Spirit Settling Silver Ore mineral vein was, Lin Yuan saw Heavy Mountain in the distance. It was lazily stretched out across the entrance of the Spirit Settling Silver Ore mineral vein. It looked extremely relaxed as it sunbathed.

The moment Heavy Mountain spotted Lin Yuan, it jumped up and ran up to him as it said excitedly, "Lord, my luck is great. It only took me four days to find the heart of the Spirit Settling Silver Ore vein. I have used my blood to activate the heart of the mineral vein, and it has turned into a vein fairy that is harvesting the Spirit Settling Silver Ore."

Heavy Mountain gulped down saliva, and it was clear that it badly wanted to eat the vein fairy.

Heavy Mountain had reached Class 4 and could easily evolve to Class 5 if it ate the vein fairy formed from the heart of a large mineral vein.

Lin Yuan nodded. Given how quickly Heavy Mountain was able to discover the heart of the mineral vein, it should be able to clear out the mineral vein soon, and he would be able to give the harvested Spirit Settling Silver to Gu Lang and Zong Ze.

Lin Yuan took the small bundle of Floating Silver Strands out of the Diamond fey storage box and handed it to Heavy Mountain as he said, "Heavy Mountain, these are Floating Silver Strands. Use Metal Growth and form a contract with it. Produce as much of it for me as you can."

Heavy Mountain received the Floating Silver Strands and held them to its chest as he said, "Lord, the Floating Silver Strands are a type of Gold metal spiritual ingredient. Given my current power, producing Gold metal spiritual ingredients won't be difficult."

Heavy Mountain promptly formed a contract with the Floating Silver and felt it out for some time before saying, "Lord, I will be able to produce about 2.5 kilograms of Floating Silver per day."

Lin Yuan's face lit up with joy.

The Floating Silver Strands were very light, and 2.5 kilograms of it would be about 3 kilometers. This rate of production would be enough to satisfy Hu Quan's usage.

When Heavy Mountain evolved to Class 5, it would be able to produce Floating Silver faster.

Lin Yuan had the growing feeling that picking up Heavy Mountain was a lucky break.

Liu Jie took out two Diamond fey storage boxes and tossed one of them to Heavy Mountain. Inside of it were 20,000 Platinum fey storage boxes that Heavy Mountain would be able to use to store the Spirit Settling Silver.

He shook the other Diamond fey storage box, and 30 iron cages appeared in front of him. Inside of the cages were Land Imps that Liu Jie had received from the job offers he put up in the Guild Alliance.

Liu Jie summoned the Land Imps. At first, they were going to scream and cry. But when they spotted Heavy Mountain and sensed the faith power coming from it, they started looking at it with shining eyes as though they were looking at a deity.

Heavy Mountain's eyes lit up before Lin Yuan could say anything, and it walked up to study the Land Imps to pick those it liked.

Some of the Land Imps were in a sorry state, while others held their heads up high as they did their best to look as presentable as possible in the hopes that Heavy Mountain would pick them.

Heavy Mountain picked the Land Imp with the longest fingers. When this Land Imp knelt before Heavy Mountain, Heavy Mountain's totem lit up, and amber light flowed from the totem into the Land Imp.

With this, Heavy Mountain had turned the Land Imp into its believer.

It had to be said that Heavy Mountain had good taste.

Lin Yuan used True Data and learned that the Land Imp's natural skill was Metal Style.

[Metal Style: It can change the shape of metal to its will. When communicating with the metal, the metal can be turned into the image that it has in its head. Changing the metal's volume is connected with its spiritual energy.

This was an outstanding natural skill.

Lin Yuan wanted Heavy Mountain to turn the Land Imp into a believer to create a team of Land Imp craftsmen. This Land Imp that could use Metal Style could not be more suitable to join this team.

After Heavy Mountain accepted the Land Imp, it was in no rush to turn it into a Favored Believer.

Heavy Mountain wanted to cultivate the Spirit Settling Silver Ore. Hence, using a large amount of faith power now would drain Heavy Mountain excessively, and it would not be able to perfectly accomplish the job that Lin Yuan had given it. Fị𝒏dd 𝒏ew upd𝒂t𝒆s on n(o)v/e/l𝒃

At that moment, Heavy Mountain turned to Lin Yuan and Liu Jie as he bowed and said, "Thank you for thinking about me and preparing a suitable believer for me."

Lin Yuan casually tossed a ball of Faith Water to Heavy Mountain and said to Liu Jie and Ji Feng, "Let's go to Phoebe Zhennan City!"

Lin Yuan had come to the Divine Wood Federation with a clear goal in mind. He wanted to go to Phoebe Zhennan City to see Luo Ya and trade for the Item-Storing Walnut Trees with her.

He was going to nurture the Item-Storing Walnut Trees to gather the spatial energy within them so that he would not have to worry about obtaining spatial energy for the Space Tunnel anymore.

Su Yiren's soul had been injured, and her sacred source lifeform was on the brink of death. She was living a life that was even worse than that of a regular person. If she was left out on her own, she could run into danger at any moment.

Thus, Lin Yuan needed to take her to the underground palace to ensure her safety.

Given that she was a Dark Envoy, it was needless to say that she was capable.

Wen Yu needed to stay in the Radiance Federation to manage Sky City, so Lin Yuan badly needed someone skilled at management to handle the Great Lush Federation side of things.

Su Yiren would be the best candidate for this. With her around, she would be able to handle the territory once Ta Lei applied for it.

Lin Yuan had spoken with Mr. Feng from the Sincere Merchant Group and found out that the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce supported their merchant group.

Coincidentally, the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce had a branch in Oak City. If it was possible, he would like to meet with the Sincere Merchant Group in Oak City to see if he could help them increase their ranking within the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce.

Once the Sincere Merchant Group's ranking was raised, they would be able to help Lin Yuan obtain resources from the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce.

Chapter 1384: Distance Between the Radiance Federation and Divine Wood Federation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ji Feng and Lin Yuan did not find anything strange about what Lin Yuan said because they had come to the Divine Wood Federation to protect Lin Yuan. Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin.c𝒐m

No one would recognize him in the Divine Wood Federation, so he did not need to hide his identity.

Lin Yuan waved his hand and summoned Blackie, who he rarely summoned in front of other people in the Radiance Federation.

Blackie happily flew a few circles in the sky before landing beside Lin Yuan and saying to him in a gentle voice, "Yuan, you became smaller again!"

Lin Yuan shot Blackie a look of frustration as Blackie said that he became smaller every time they met. He had already become accustomed to this.

Now that the Diamond/Fantasy Blackie was already 100 meters long, its pure flood-dragon-species power caused the other feys in the forest to pull back their necks in fear.

Who would have expected that the Spirit-Siphon Goldfish that spent all its time blowing bubbles in the pool would one day transform into the Spirit Tide Ink Flood Dragon?

Liu Jie and Ji Feng were familiar with Blackie who spent all its time acting like the boss of the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake and chasing the rainbow Angelfish of Bliss.

The three of them rode on Blackie's back and headed toward Phoebe Zhennan City.

Whenever Liu Jie was with Lin Yuan, he always took up the role of a scout. The moment he sat on Blackie's back, he summoned the Insect Queen and ordered it to release the Dimensional Light Moth.

The Insect Queen entered the Dimensional Light Moth's body and produced a large number of the Hurricane Owlet Moths.

The Insect Queen was now skilled at adjusting its brand to absorb the genetic models of other insect-species feys.

This time, the 100 Hurricane Owlet Moths it produced all had large wings. These Hurricane Owlet Moths had wings twice their usual size, enabling them to fly even faster.

After the Insect Queen produced the Dimensional Light Moth, Liu Jie did not immediately set it free to fly about.

Instead, he took out a dark red and thin tentacle and handed it to each of the Hurricane Owlet Moths. These were the Ethereal Jellyfish's Tentacle Nodes.

Lin Yuan had given the Tentacle Nodes to Liu Jie long ago. Lin Yuan could not spend too much time traveling when he was moving about in the Divine Wood Federation, albeit Blackie could fly swiftly.

Thus, he needed to place Tentacle Nodes in places he would have to visit often in the future, like the underground palace, Phoebe Zhennan City, and Oak City.

Liu Jie had used up a lot of spirit qi for the 100 Hurricane Owlet Moths that the Insect Queen produced. His face had gone slightly pale.

The Hurricane Owlet Moths were the Insect Queen's Platinum ability. It took ten times more spirit qi for the Insect Queen to produce one Hurricane Owlet Moth than it did to produce one Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect.

Before Lin Yuan could speak, Blackie thoughtfully used Spirit Injection on Liu Jie. Soon, Liu Jie recovered the spirit qi he had used up.

Lin Yuan could sense through his spiritual energy link with Blackie that it was genuinely excited and happy.

Blackie only moved around in the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake when it was in the mansion. No matter how beautifully the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake was set up, it still could not compare with real nature.

Lin Yuan gently stroked Blackie's fur and suddenly realized that he had not used his feys in battle in a long time.

In this world, being able to tame and wield feys was the foundation of everything.

Lin Yuan wanted to find the feeling of being a beast tamer again in the Divine Wood Federation.

By now, Lin Yuan had spotted the small town that Liu Jie had discovered. He felt it was more of a large village than a town.

The Xia Region was considered a small region in Redbud City. Millstone Town was the least modern place in the Radiance Federation. However, both of these places were better than the place that was below Lin Yuan at that moment.

When Lin Yuan had been talking with Luo Ya, he had asked her many questions.

In the Divine Wood Federation, avian-type feys could fly directly over cities and towns. Nonetheless, there were still risks as any person in the city that found a problem with your presence could attack you immediately.

At that point, it would be a battle of abilities. It did not have to be said that no one in this small town could compete with Blackie.

Blackie let out a clear and powerful roar that immediately caught the attention of every person in the town.

Lin Yuan was surprised that these spirit qi professionals and ordinary people wearing accessories made of leaves and vines did not immediately demonstrate intense terror.

Once they ascertained that Blackie had no intention to attack, they either placed their hands together and started to pray or took out their phones to take videos of Blackie.

Lin Yuan found this scene to be ironic. Normally, people that had not seen a powerful dragon-species fey like Blackie would instinctively try to avoid it. Yet, the spirit qi professionals living in this town did not do so.

This indicated that these spirit qi professionals were either very arrogant or ignorant.

A small town like this definitely did not even have a Class 1 Creation Master. At best, they would have one or two healers. This town possessed extremely low knowledge.

Using this town as an example, the distance between the Divine Wood Federation and Radiance Federation was clear. The main reason for this distance was that the Freedom Federation could stake a Class 5 Creation Master against the Radiance Federation's stake of Star Web.

Every citizen in the Radiance Federation would be able to use their Star Web Card to log into Star Web. Star Web enabled the citizens to gain a clear understanding of the world beyond what they knew.

Books about Class 3 and below lifestyle-class spirit qi professionals could be bought with Federation dollars on Star Web. Hence, the citizens of the Radiance Federation possessed high knowledge.

Star Web and Ostrich Logistics allowed the citizens of the Radiance Federation to gain access to goods from any place within three hours.

Star Web enabled the Radiance Federation to maintain a high-level modern culture in the age of the Spirit Qi Awakening.

This small town allowed Lin Yuan to understand the kind of lives that people led outside of the Radiance Federation.

Because of Star Web, the Creation Masters from the Radiance Federation could immediately tell if a fey was native to the Radiance Federation.

Chapter 1385: I Already Have Someone I Like

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

However, the Creation Masters from the Divine Wood Federation clearly would not be able to do the same because of their lack of knowledge, and they would not be shocked by any fey placed before them.

As the cool breeze blew past Lin Yuan, he looked down at the forest below him and thought,?In this federation where power reigns supreme, experts are almost no different from gods, and the weak are basically as pathetic as ants.

Every person needs to live by the original rule of the jungle, and an outsider like me is no exception. In this place, people speak with their fists, and anyone who tries to rationalize with words will only be treated as a joke.

Liu Jie knew that Lin Yuan was going to Phoebe Zhennan City to discuss the trade of Item-Storing Walnut Trees with Luo Ya. However, from the moment he saw the way Luo Ya stared at Lin Yuan, Liu Jie could not help but be on guard.

Luo Ya looked at Lin Yuan like she was ready to dig sharp hooks into him that would pull him down into a world of degeneration.

Lin Yuan was only 18 years old and did not know much about intimate relationships. As Lin Yuan's retainer, Liu Jie could not allow a woman like Luo Ya to contaminate Lin Yuan.

Liu Jie decided he would remain at arm's length from Lin Yuan the entire time that they were in Phoebe Zhennan City to prevent Luo Ya from having the chance to be alone with Lin Yuan.

Blackie had been flying for a few hours and would reach Phoebe Zhennan City soon.

Lin Yuan took out his phone and found the slip of paper that Luo Ya had given him with her phone number on it.

In a large manor in Phoebe Zhennan City…

A short-haired middle-aged man with an expression of displeasure looked at a despondent girl staring at her phone.

She had not taken any of what he said to heart, and he fiercely slammed down the two walnuts in his hand that resembled red jade and said, "Little Ya, are you even listening to me? The Huang family has visited multiple times. Previously, you were young and playful, so I let you do as you pleased. But now, you're at the age to talk about marriage.

"The Huang family is a Class 2 family just like us. Huang Yu is the son of the leader of the Huang family, Huang Zhan. He is the only son in his family. When you marry into the Huang family, you'll become the Mistress of the household once Huang Yu succeeds Huang Zhan.

"I'm not insisting that you have to marry Huang Yu, but he has always liked you. Why don't you give it a try and get to know him? You can tell me if you really don't like him, and I'll reject the marriage proposal."

This was not the first time that Luo De was bringing up marriage with Luo Ya.

She had turned her father down previously because she had not had her fill of fun and did not want to settle down so soon. The people of the Divine Wood Federation were open-minded, and she did not think her past actions were embarrassing even if they were exposed. However, she would not be able to act in the same carefree manner once she was married.

However, she was rejecting him now for a different reason. In the past few days, all thoughts of playing had evaporated as thoughts of Lin Yuan occupied every crevice of her mind now.

After seeing how amazing he was, she could not bother with Huang Yu, much less marry him.

When she saw how desperately her father was trying to persuade her, Luo Ya placed her phone down on the table and said, "Father, you've been suggesting those three families to me over the years because our family is the weakest out of the four Class 2 Creation Master families in Phoebe Zhennan City. But at the end of the day, we're still a Class 2 Creation Master family. How will it affect us if we don't become linked to a Class 3 family through marriage?" ViiSiit n𝒐velb𝒊/n.c/(𝒐)m for l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels

Luo De sighed.

Luo Ya was still too young to think of the key parts of this.

There were currently four Class 2 Creation Master families and one Class 3 Creation Master family in Phoebe Zhennan City. The Zhang family was the Class 3 Creation Master family, and they were poised to dominate all the Creation Master resources in Phoebe Zhennan City.

The leader of the Zhang family had recently been promoted from a mid-level Class 3 Creation Master to a high-level Class 3 Creation Master. It was clear that the Zhang family was trying to put pressure on the four Class 2 Creation Master families.

Amongst the Class 2 Creation Master families, the Huang family was the only one who was linked to the Zhang family by marriage. The Mistress of the Zhang family was the younger sister of the head of the Huang family.

If Luo Ya married Huang Yu, the Luo family would become linked to the Zhang family.

Currently, the Luo family's strongest fey was the Platinum III/Flawless Poison Dust Flying Moth. Meanwhile, the Zhang family head had the Platinum X/Fantasy Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm.

It was impossible for the Luo family to stand against the Zhang family.

Luo De had always doted on Luo Ya. If he had any other option, he would not force her when it came to matters of the heart and cause her to sacrifice her happiness.

Just as Luo De was about to try and convince Luo Ya again, the latter picked up her phone and said solemnly to her father, "Father, I already have someone I like."

Luo De frowned. However, he did not lose his temper at Luo Ya. Instead, he kept a lid on his emotions and said, "Little Ya, is the person you like one of the members of the group of robbers that you invested in a few years ago?"

Luo Ya thought about the gang of dirty and rough men from the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps and almost choked.

When Luo De saw the look of disdain on Luo Ya's face, he knew that the person she liked was not a member of the Withered Cliff Thief Death Corps.

Then who could it be? Has she caught real feelings for one of the boys she plays around with?

Luo De decided to snap some sense into Luo Ya so that she would start to seriously consider Huang Yu.

"Little Ya, is the man you like in Phoebe Zhennan City now? If so, call him here so I can take a look at him."

Luo Ya did not know what Luo De was planning. But when he mentioned Lin Yuan's possible location, she immediately withered on the inside.

I want to know where Lin Yuan is too! But almost nine days have passed, and the phone just refuses to ring!

Just as Luo Ya was swimming in the depths of despair, her phone started to ring.

Her eyes instantly lit up with hope, and she excitedly checked it.

When she saw that the call was coming from Lin Yuan, she anxiously grabbed the chair's armrest and carefully cleared her throat before picking up.

She had wanted to wait for him to speak first as a ladylike gesture. However, she failed to control herself and babbled the moment she picked up, "Have you been busy as of late? You haven't called me once! When will you have the time to come to Phoebe Zhennan City so I can give you a tour? I have eaten at some of the restaurants in Phoebe Zhennan City ever since I was young, and they have great food!"

Chapter 1386: Courtyard Meeting

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Lin Yuan heard what Luo Ya said, he checked the time and said, "I should be arriving at Phoebe Zhennan City in an hour."

Luo Ya excitedly jumped up from her chair and said, "Then I shall go and meet you at the entrance of Phoebe Zhennan City—"

At this point, she could not help but pause awkwardly.

It would take at least one and a half hours to ride the Mist Reverse Poison Moth from her house to the entrance of Phoebe Zhennan City. However, Lin Yuan was going to be arriving in an hour, and she could not make him wait at the entrance of Phoebe Zhennan City.

As such, she changed what she was going to say and said instead, "How about this? I will wait for you at Phoebe Zhennan City's largest courtyard. It is the nearest place to my house. I have prepared two Item-Storing Walnut Trees. If that's not enough, I will be able to return home to get more for you."

!

After the call between Lin Yuan and Luo Ya ended, she noticed her father staring at her with a troubled expression.

He was feeling extremely conflicted.

Luo De had never seen Luo Ya so attached to a person, and he had even noticed her eyes shining when she was talking on the phone.

Shining eyes could not lie! Luo Ya would never be willing to give Huang Yu a try when she was so hung up on this person.

Currently, Luo De was in a difficult situation.

Although he could secretly kill the person Luo Ya liked, she could link him to the assassination. Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin.c𝒐m

Moreover, the Item-Storing Walnut Tree had always been a precious resource to the Luo family, and all 12 of the Item-Storing Walnut Trees they had were valuable to them. The Item-Storing Walnuts that the trees produced could always be sold for a tidy sum.

Previously, when Luo Ya told him that she wanted the Item-Storing Walnut Trees, he had been glad because he assumed she wanted to learn how to nurture high-quality Item-Storing Walnuts.

But it seemed he had been wrong. She wanted the Item-Storing Walnut Trees to gift them to the person she liked.

It was said that daughters always had one foot out the door, and Luo De finally understood why.

As he watched Luo Ya enthusiastically prepare to leave, he stood up and said to her grimly, "Slow down, don't be in such a rush to leave. From both an emotional and logical standpoint, I should meet with this boyfriend of yours. I will go with you to Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard."

When Luo Ya heard Luo De say that she was going to meet her boyfriend, she immediately looked dejected.

Boyfriend? She was probably just a passing figure to him. He had only called when he was coincidentally in Phoebe Zhennan City on business because of their prior arrangement.

However, she was not opposed to Luo De going with her to see Lin Yuan.

He was so outstanding that anyone would be mesmerized when taking a look at him. Once Luo De got one look at Lin Yuan, there was no way he would force her to consider Huang Yu no matter what considerations he had in mind.

Luo De wanted to go with Luo Ya to scare her boyfriend and let him know how unworthy he truly was.

Young man, you shouldn't aim higher than your station. Becoming the son-in-law of a Class 2 Creation Master family isn't easy!

Hence, Luo De summoned the Platinum III/Flawless Poison Dust Flying Moth.

Luo Ya was slightly confused as Luo De summoned the Poison Dust Flying Moth. She did not know why her father was treating this matter so seriously that he even summoned the strongest fey in the family.

Nonetheless, she was happy with what he did. If she rode the Poison Dust Flying Moth to meet Lin Yuan, at least she would appear presentable and not have to worry about embarrassing herself.

Luo Ya happily hugged Luo De and said, "Thank you, Father!"

Both Luo De and Luo Ya had different thoughts going through their heads. The seemingly kind father and filial daughter rode off toward Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard together.

The two of them were famous in Phoebe Zhennan City.

Phoebe Zhennan City was not considered a large city in the Divine Wood Federation. It was just a city centered around a Class 3 Creation Master family.

1

Besides the Zhang family, Luo De was the head of a Class 2 Creation Master family and was considered an aristocrat in Phoebe Zhennan City.

Luo De and Luo Ya attracted looks of respect and envy from the people they flew past.

At that moment, Luo Ya was holding onto a mirror and carefully studying the haggard face that was a result of nine days of inconsistent rest and food. The longer she stared at herself, the more perturbed she felt. She was afraid Lin Yuan's good impression of her would be negatively affected when he saw how she looked.

She ignored that her father was next to her, took her favorite rouge out of the Item-Storing Walnut, and started to apply it on her face.

The rouge was made of a mixture of amber powder, crushed water-type pearls, flower sap, lotus dew, and the fur from a Gold fey. It was made with Class 3 Creation Master skills and was the most luxurious makeup product in a place like Phoebe Zhennan City.

The Zhang family only auctioned off one bottle of such rouge per month and was fought over by all the mothers and daughters from every family in Phoebe Zhennan City.

In order to obtain the rouge, Luo Ya had spent a large sum of Great Lush dollars. The thought of this hole in her pocket still made her heart ache. However, now that it was going to be put to good use by helping her look better in front of Lin Yuan, she felt that the money could not have been more well spent.

Luo De looked at her daughter in shock as she applied the rouge, primped herself, and adjusted her purple fur clock.

1

He had always felt that he was a loving father to his only daughter. In the past years, she had spent all her time with him apart from when she was training outside of Phoebe Zhennan City.

To his memory, she did not even try this hard to look good when the Zhang family came to attend a banquet held by the Luo family.

A father would still have a soft spot for his daughter even if he knew that sacrifices were necessary for the family's sake. He could not help but hesitate about secretly sending people to kill the person Luo Ya liked.

When Luo Ya finished applying the makeup and happily admired her pretty face in the mirror, a hoarse voice resembling a goose's squawk said from behind Luo Ya, "Ah Ya! Uncle Luo! Where are the two of you headed? I spotted the Poison Dust Flying Moth from far off. I had to use my spirit qi in order for my Piercing Needle Hornet to catch up."

Luo Ya frowned.

On the other hand, Luo De's brow relaxed, and he ordered the Poison Dust Flying Moth to stop flying.

Chapter 1387: The Extreme Member of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence

Luo De patted Luo Ya's shoulder, and she begrudgingly turned around to face a young man dressed in a yellow cloak standing on a large brown hornet.

This young man was not ugly. However, his eyes were of different sizes, and it made him appear vulgar and listless. He had a decent physique and was tall and stocky.

Unfortunately for him, Luo Ya only cared about looks. Anyone with unappealing looks was offensive to her.

Currently, her heart was fully set on Lin Yuan, and she could not even be bothered to spare Huang Yu a glance.

Huang Yu smiled and tried to greet Luo Ya. He had no clue that she was gnashing her teeth and cursing him for wasting her time when she was so anxious to get to Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard.

!

Luo De was slightly embarrassed by how Luo Ya blatantly ignored Huang Yu. "Xiao Yu, you're becoming more powerful by the day. The Piercing Needle Hornet has already evolved to Gold X/Flawless in the two months since I last saw you."

While he spoke, Luo De was shocked by how quickly Huang Yu was able to increase his power. Evidently, the Huang family had invested a lot of resources into him. Once he became a Class 2 Creation Master, he would be able to take over the Huang family at any time.

Huang Yu had always liked Luo Ya, but his affections have never been returned. Luo De was afraid this would eventually cause Huang Yu to become resentful, and he would decide to marry one of the daughters from the Meng family or Li family instead.

Huang Yu proudly replied, "All the credit goes to my aunt who convinced my uncle to evolve the Piercing Needle Hornet's grade and quality. if the Piercing Needle Hornet had not started showing signs of mutating during its evolution, the Piercing Needle Hornet you're seeing now would have reached Platinum grade."

Luo De was startled by what Huang Yu said. It turned out that the leader of the Zhang family had helped evolve Huang Yu's fey.

Huang Yu's aunt had married into the Zhang family and was the Mistress of the Zhang family. She was the only one who could persuade the leader of the Zhang family to help evolve one of the juniors' feys. This was the benefit of being linked through marriage.

If Luo Ya could marry Huang Yu, the Luo family would be able to use their relationship with him to become a distant relative of the Zhang family. It would even be possible for the Luo family to obtain some benefits from the Zhang family.

As she watched her father and Huang Yu speak for ten minutes straight with no sign of stopping anytime soon, Luo Ya became increasingly manic. When she could no longer control herself, she said, "Huang Yu, we need to go to Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard urgently, so we shall take our leave now."

Luo Ya reached out and grabbed her father's arm to signal for him to instruct the Poison Dust Flying Moth to continue flying toward Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard.

Huang Yu was already used to Luo Ya's attitude. His eyes lit up when he heard her mention Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard, and he said, "Ah Ya, Uncle Luo, so it turns out that you're going to Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard. It just so happens that I'm going there too. Big Brother Zhang Tong will be there today to welcome Lord Jian Li. I wasn't aware that Ah Ya was back. Otherwise, I would have invited her to come with me."

Luo De and Luo Ya's expressions changed vastly.

Luo De did not expect Jian Li to visit a small, insignificant city like Phoebe Zhennan City. Moreover, the First Young Master of the Zhang family, Zhang Tong, had managed to become acquainted with Jian Li.

Jian Li was the cream of the crop of the Divine Wood Federation's younger generation and was Sequence #83 of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence.

2

Compared to Jian Li's brilliance and talent, the most impressive thing about him was his background.

The Jian family was a veteran family in the capital of Divine Wood Federation, Sacred Forest City.

Luo De did not know if they had any Class 4 Creation Masters, but they had three Class 3 Creation Master families under their control. One of these Class 3 Creation Master families had a pinnacle Class 3 Creation Master.

Although he was the leader of a Class 2 Creation Master, Luo De had not heard the news that Jian Li would be arriving at Phoebe Zhennan City. Yet, because of his relationship with the Zhang family, Huang Yu had the right to welcome Jian Li at Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard. This proved that Phoebe Zhennan City's inner circle had already excluded the Luo family.

At that moment, Luo De decided he would seal the marriage between Luo Ya and Huang Yu by hook or by crook.

Meanwhile, Luo Ya was nervous.

Just like in the Radiance Federation, the members of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence were household names and superstars in the Divine Wood Federation. Every member of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence was seen as a blindingly bright star that existed beyond the reach of all other spirit qi professionals in the Divine Wood Federation.

Given that Huang Yu was on his way there now, it meant that Jian Li would be arriving at Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard in an hour. This seemed to coincide with Lin Yuan's estimated time of arrival. Would they end up bumping into each other? Nnêw n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

Every member of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence had an imperial court-appointed expert by their side.

Although Jian Li was not one of the higher ranks of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence, he was notorious for being tyrannical. There was no way he would allow another person riding on an avian-type fey to arrive at the same place and at the same time as he was. Did this mean that Luo Ya had doomed Lin Yuan?

2

She hastily took out her phone and called Lin Yuan. Alas, he did not pick up even after the call rang for some time. The result did not change even after the multiple calls she made in succession.

Luo Ya was so anxious that sweat started to drip down her forehead.

She was certain that Lin Yuan's background was nothing to turn up one's nose at either, and he was likely from one of the Great Lush Federation's secret elite families.

However, he was going to confront Jian Li on Divine Wood Federation territory, and it would be impossible for him to gain the upper hand.

When Huang Yu saw Luo Ya making so many calls, he wanted to ask her who she was trying to get in contact with. But at the same time, he was afraid that asking would set her off and cause her to blow her top.

Suddenly, Luo De's lips curled into a strange smile.

It was impossible that Luo Ya could come up with a thought that he could not. He would like nothing more than for Luo Ya to be unable to contact that person she liked, so he would unsuspectingly arrive at Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard at the same time as Jian Li and get himself killed.

Once the person she liked was dead, Luo Ya would not have any more hang-ups. Luo De would then kindly coax her and use reason to get her to agree to marry Huang Yu.

Huang Yu treated Luo Ya well, and she would become the Young Mistress of the Huang family once she married him. A life like that would be free of hardship.

Luo Ya was relentlessly calling Lin Yuan. She had no idea that after their previous call, he had stored away this phone that he did not often use in a Diamond fey storage box.

Chapter 1388: Don't Cause Trouble!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It did not take long for Huang Yu, Luo De, and Luo Ya to arrive at Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard.

When Huang Yu saw Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard in the distance, he said to Luo De, "Uncle Luo, riding avian-type feys is forbidden up ahead. Why don't we stop outside the courtyard and walk in? If we continue flying, we will be attacked by my cousin's bodyguard."

Luo De hurriedly stopped the Poison Dust Flying Moth and ordered it to land outside Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard before returning it to his spiritual spatial zone.

Huang Yu had always liked Luo Ya. As a result, he greatly respected Luo De.

When Luo De returned the Poison Dust Flying Moth to his spiritual spatial zone, Huang Yu led Luo De and Luo Ya into Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard.

Normally, Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard was the most crowded place in Phoebe Zhennan City. But now, it was surrounded by a group of armored guards with mean faces. The usual stalls and spirit qi professionals milling about were also absent.

Huang Yu greeted all the guards as they all knew who he was. On account of Huang Yu, the guards did not block Luo Ya and Luo De and allowed Huang Yu to lead them into the courtyard.

Luo De was annoyed by how the guards were acting because it was clear from their gazes they respected Huang Yu more than they respected him.

After passing through the guards, Luo De saw a tall and broad-shouldered man with a light-green fur cloak draped over him standing in the middle of the courtyard.

This person was Zhang Tong. All the people around him were the Zhang family's trusted aides.

The people from the Meng and Li families were not present, which put Luo De at ease. It seemed that the Luo family was not the only family that Phoebe Zhennan City's inner circle had excluded.

Huang Yu walked up to Zhang Tong and shouted, "Big Brother Zhang Tong, I thought I was early by arriving 15 minutes in advance. I can't believe you're even earlier than me!"

When Zhang Tong turned to Huang Yu and saw Luo De and Luo Ya were with him, he furrowed his brow.

Phoebe Zhennan City was not large, and Zhang Tong was Huang Yu's cousin. Hence, he knew that Huang Yu had affection for Luo Ya. As such, Zhang Tong did not comment on it.

Zhang Tong had arrived at Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard early this morning to start preparations.

Although the Zhang family lorded over Phoebe Zhennan City, they could not touch Phoebe Zhennan City's resources.

The Zhang family needed to find another way or a source of support in order to develop themselves. This support was Jian Li, who was from the Jian family.

The Zhang family was after the Jian family's resources and connections in Sacred Forest City, while the Jian family was happy to support another Class 3 Creation Master family from a small city.

It was the link between Jian Li and Zhang Tong that made Jian Li willing to come all this way.

Huang Yu noticed Zhang Tong's displeased expression and said, "Big Brother Zhang Tong, Ah Ya and Uncle Luo will follow behind me. I will instruct them not to cause trouble. I want to help Ah Ya to experience more things too."

Zhang Tong immediately realized what Huang Yu was gunning for.

There were no daughters from aristocratic families in the Divine Wood Federation that did not enjoy basking in wealth and power. Huang Yu wanted to show off his connections in front of her to win her heart.

Zhang Tong did not like Luo Ya at all.

Zhang Tong had his pick of girls to become his wife in Phoebe Zhennan City. However, none of the frivolous girls managed to catch his attention.

Zhang Tong had failed the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence selection once and wanted to find a wife from Sacred Forest City. He felt that only they were able to aid in his future endeavors.

Although Zhang Tong was not interested in any girl from Phoebe Zhennan City, he had information on all of them.

The information had laid out Luo Ya's actions over the past few days. Zhang Tong was worried that his cousin would not be able to handle Luo Ya's promiscuous side. But regardless, he would help his cousin.

At that moment, Luo Ya was almost in tears over being unable to contact Lin Yuan. As she looked at Huang Yu, who was listing a long spiel of rules, she suddenly had the urge to cause a large commotion in Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard to allow Lin Yuan to escape.

However, she could not go through with it. The strongest fey she had was the Gold Mist Reverse Poison Moth. If she dared to summon it, her father would be the first to stop her.

Just as Luo Ya's anxiousness and panic reached a peak, an ear-piercing bird cry filled the air, and an enormous bird with a wingspan of ten meters appeared in the sky.

The giant bird's flapping wings disturbed the air currents and caused a three-meter tornado to appear in the air above Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard. The tornado caused all the guards' armor to clank together.

A skinny and short young man stood atop the giant bird's back. He was dressed in a white fur cloak. The wind blew up the cloak and caused it to billow behind the young man,

Such a white fur cloak almost did not appear in Phoebe Zhennan City at all. Compared to it, the light green fur cloak that Zhang Tong was wearing looked cheap.

There were two burly men dressed in black vines behind the young man. There were dark green leaves growing out of the vines that made the vines appear as though they were alive.

These men were the imperial court-appointed guards for a member of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence. Fị𝒏dd 𝒏ew upd𝒂t𝒆s on n(o)v/e/l𝒃

Jian Li looked down from the bird. When he saw Zhang Tong, he ordered the Gold X/Legend Dagger Wings Eagle Sparrow to land.

Before the Dagger Wings Eagle Sparrow landed, the two guards leaped down and prepared to flank Jian Li.

Once the Dagger Wings Eagle Sparrow stabilized and the tornado disappeared, Jian Li lifted up the white fur cloak and slowly walked down the Dagger Wings Eagle Sparrow, which had laid itself flat on the ground.

Zhang Tong hurriedly walked up to Jian Li and said in a friendly tone, "Lord Jian Li, your avian-type fey is so elegant and magnificent. A casual flap of its wings would be able to pluck out a Gold ironwood farm!"

Chapter 1389: Handled Them

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jian Li indifferently patted the Dagger Wings Eagle Sparrow's mouth and said, "This Dagger Wings Eagle Sparrow was just one of the avian-type feys I casually picked from those in my family's aviary. It isn't that impressive. Your family's Platinum/Fantasy Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm must be a very comfortable ride."

Zhang Tong's smile turned unnatural.

The Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm belonged to his father and represented the Zhang family's strongest combatant. As much as the Zhang family wanted the Jian family's support, he could not allow Jian Li to ride the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm for sport as it would cause the Zhang family to lose the might they enjoyed in Phoebe Zhennan City and become a citywide joke.

Jian Li haughtily studied the people behind Zhang Tong.

When Luo Ya spotted Jian Li, the last glimmer of hope in her heart was extinguished.

If Lin Yuan had arrived first, there might have been a chance to turn things around. But now that Jian Li had arrived first, he would take total control of the situation.

At this moment, Luo Ya was full of worry and self-reproach. She felt Luo De nudge her forcefully, and the pain pulled her back to her senses.

She noticed that Jian Li was currently staring at her, and alarm bells immediately went off in her head.

Jian Li said to her in an amused voice, "What's wrong? You dolled yourself up so prettily, yet you're pulling such an unhappy expression. Is it because you don't want to welcome me? Or is it because you've heard of me but feel disappointed now that you're seeing how short I am?"

Jian Li's voice became gentler in the middle of his speech. However, his words caused Zhang Tong to break out in a sweat because he knew that the bane of Jian Li's existence was people mocking his height.

It was clear that Luo Ya's downhearted expression caused Jian Li to misunderstand.

Zhang Tong did not know if Luo Ya's expression was truly a result of her being disappointed by Jian Li's height. However, she had committed a sin just by showing such an expression during Jian Li's welcoming.

All the guards around Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard should have prohibited outsiders from entering. However, Huang Yu had brought the people from the Luo family with him, and they even angered Jian Li. This was as good as slapping Zhang Tong.

Luo Ya was a mere member of a Class 2 Creation Master family. Did she really consider herself an aristocrat from Sacred Forest City? Given her status, she should have been careful even breathing around Jian Li, much less coveting him and thinking of marrying into the Jian family.

Zhang Tong also became annoyed at Huang Yu, who had brought Luo Ya here.

Luo Ya was worried about Lin Yuan and had been stunned into silence by Jian Li.

Luo De was also stupefied. When he saw Luo Ya stare dumbly at Jian Li without responding, he gathered his courage and said in a trembling voice, "Lord Jian Li, my daughter would never dare to be disappointed by you. She looks upset because the team she had been managing encountered a dimensional rift and was killed. She's the only survivor. Lord Jian Li, you're so charming. She would only dare to look up to you."

After Luo De spoke, Zhang Tong thought that it was possible that this matter could be over.

If it was true that the robber group that Luo Ya had joined had been killed, it was unlikely that Jian Li would continue to put this girl from a Class 2 Creation Master family on the spot. Zhang Tong could just tell someone to take Luo Ya and Luo De away, and the matter would be settled.

However, when Luo De mentioned the last part about 'looking up', Zhang Tong paled.

This phrase had hit Jian Li right in his sore spot. Zhang Tong had once seen Jian Li kill a person taller than him for saying the words 'look up'.

Zhang Tong noticed Huang Yu move and knew that he was about to speak up on Luo Ya's behalf. He coughed and shot Huang Yu a glare.

Huang Yu was worried about Luo Ya but also embarrassed by how she had caused trouble for Zhang Tong. When he caught sight of Zhang Tong's glare, Huang Yu was instantly scared into silence.

Jian Li's initial look of amusement darkened when he heard what Luo De said.

Zhang Tong walked over to Jian Li and said apologetically, "Lord Jian Li, this is the head and daughter of the Luo family, a Class 2 Creation Master family in Phoebe Zhennan City. If you don't want to dirty your hands, I can handle them on your behalf."

Zhang Tong blew a strangely high-pitched whistle toward the northwest. The whistle sounded a lot like the hissing of snakes.

A ferocious hiss sounded out from the northwest. The hiss encompassed the might of flood-dragon-species feys. 𝒩eew updates 𝒂t n𝒐vel/bi𝒏.com

A 25-meter-long purplish-black scaled snake with two horns on his head flew into the air and headed toward Zhang Tong. While it was flying, it continuously stuck out its half-meter-long black tongue. Its dark purple fangs gleamed menacingly when the light from the sun reflected off them.

Before the giant snake even arrived at Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard, the air turned sickly sweet.

This was the Zhang family's main combat fey, the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm.

In order to welcome Jian Li, the leader of the Zhang family had released the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm and allowed Zhang Tong to command it.

The Dagger Wings Eagle Sparrow's insufferably overbearing aura was diminished, and it stopped flapping its wings. It was clear that it was terrified of the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm.

This was not surprising. Although both the Dagger Wings Eagle Sparrow and Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm were pinnacle Gold feys, one of them was a Fantasy Breed fey while the other was Normal. There was a world of difference between them.

If not for the two guard's control over the Dagger Wings Eagle Sparrow and the training it had received from a Creation Master, it would have started attacking people hysterically or fled in fear.

Zhang Tong's words plunged Luo De into despair, and Huang Yu froze.

The Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm had arrived at Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard and looked ready to launch a lethal attack. Its tongue slipped in and out of its mouth, and it was clear that it was famished.

Huang Yu looked at Luo Ya and thought about his father's teachings. Eventually, he lowered his head.

The Huang family was a Class 2 Creation Master family. If not for his aunt, he would not have the right to stand here to welcome Jian Li. It would be useless if he tried to plead for leniency on Luo Ya's behalf. It could even offend Jian Li and push the entire Huang family off a cliff.

Chapter 1390: Giant Black Dragon in the Sky

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although Huang Yu liked Luo Ya, he would not sacrifice himself for her.

Now that she was faced with possible death in the form of Zhang Tong, Jian Li, and the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm, Luo Ya found that she was not as terrified as she thought she would be. Rather, her mind was exceptionally clear.

At that moment, she suddenly felt boiling rage. In Phoebe Zhennan City, Class 2 Creation Master families were not focused on how they could evolve feys but how they could butter up Class 3 Creation Master families.

She had enraged a member of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence because of the expression she made. This was ludicrous!

At that moment, Luo Ya understood that power was the foundation of everything, and bootlicking was nothing more than a trick.

Compared to the terror of being eaten by the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm, Jian Li's tyrannical and malicious ways made Luo Ya worried over Lin Yuan, who would arrive at any moment.

Zhang Tong assumed that Luo Ya would immediately fall to her knees and start begging for mercy from Jian Li once she saw the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm. Yet, Luo De was the only one begging for mercy at the moment.

Zhang Tong noticed Jian Li's annoyance intensifying as he watched Luo De put on an ugly display of crying and trembling. He anxiously ordered the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm, "Go! Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm, time to eat."

The Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm moved its body, and its scales produced an ear-splitting screech as they rubbed together.

In a flash, the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm's enormous body appeared in front of Luo De and Luo Ya. Just as the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm was about to begin its feast, a melodious dragon roar filled the sky.

Jian Li narrowed his eyes.

He was not a Creation Master, but he was from the Jian family in Sacred Forest City and had seen his fair share of dragon-species feys. This dragon roar was enough for him to tell that this dragon-species fey had a more elite bloodline than the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm.

This dragon roar did not have the aura of carnage. Instead, it was full of dignity and beauty. As such, it was likely that it came from a pure-blooded flood-dragon-species fey.

It would not be surprising if such a fey appeared in a large city like Sacred Forest City or Oak City. However, it was strange that it was appearing in Phoebe Zhennan City. Could it be that another important person was coming to Phoebe Zhennan City?

The most important thing about dragon-species feys was their bloodlines. The roar of a pure-blooded flood-dragon-species fey might not scare the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm because terrifying-dragon-species feys and flood-dragon-species feys were generally matched, but the pressure from a pure-blooded flood-dragon-species fey could cause the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm to lose its appetite.

When everyone looked up to the sky, they saw a 100-meter-long dragon soaring toward Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard.

Blackie had been elated ever since Lin Yuan let it out. It released its Diamond/Fantasy aura without holding back. Every person in Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard could sense its aura.

The two guards by Jian Li's side became austere when they caught sight of the Diamond/Fantasy flood-dragon-species fey.

When the black flood dragon drew near, the people suddenly realized three people were on its back.

The young man dressed in white standing at the front slowly stroked the black flood dragon with an elegant expression. His sharp brows, ruby lips, and exquisite features made it difficult for people to tear their eyes away from him.

Although he was not wearing a fur cloak, the fashionable item in the Divine Wood Federation, his white spirit qi clothes seemed to be shrouded in mist. It was likely that it was made from silk from the Water Mist Freezing Silkworm.

He was wearing a belt with various gems embedded in it. Most of the guards on the ground could not identify the gems. Zhang Tong was the only one who knew that some of them were jade-textured wood, and some were the Blue Radiant Stones, which were only found in Class 3 subterranean dimensional rifts.

From the accessories on the belt, Zhang Tong could tell that this person's background was impressive. Otherwise, he would not be wearing a belt worth at least 1,000,000 Great Lush dollars.

Zhang Tong was the Young Leader of a Class 3 Creation Master family, and he would not be as knowledgeable as Jian Li, who had grown up in Sacred Forest City.

Jian Li noticed even more than Zhang Tong could. Jian Li knew that the light yellow wood on Lin Yuan's belt that Zhang Tong had assumed was jade-textured yellow willow wood was actually jade-textured beautiful pear wood. The two had values that differed by several hundred times.

The Blue Radiant Stones that Zhang Tong had recognized were the most common things on the belt. Amazonite, larimar, and other impeccable blue-type gems were embedded on the belt. This formed the image of a shining sea on the belt.

This belt made Jian Li wary of Lin Yuan, and he noticed Lin Yuan's black hair and eyes. From this, he became certain that Lin Yuan was a secret aristocrat from the Great Lush Federation.

The secret aristocratic families from the Great Lush Federation controlled the merchants of the entire Startling Lines Continent and possessed 60% of all the wealth in the Startling Lines Continent. Every family held immense power in the Startling Lines Continent.

Although the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation always attacked merchant groups from the Great Lush Federation, it was mostly to push blame on each other. Stealing wealth was just a convenient side-benefit. This indicated that the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation made efforts to disparage each other in front of the merchant groups of the Great Lush Federation.

This meant that the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation cared about what the Great Lush Federation merchant groups thought of them.

Given that Jian Li came from an important aristocratic family in Sacred Forest City, he knew far more than ordinary people. This made him even more fearful of the secret elite families of the Great Lush Federation than Zhang Tong was. Once he verified Lin Yuan's background, he decided he would pull Lin Yuan to his side. Fị𝒏dd 𝒏ew upd𝒂t𝒆s on n(o)v/e/l𝒃

Even if he could not reach the level of becoming Lin Yuan's friend, he would make sure that he did not make himself into an enemy.

Jian Li immediately spotted Liu Jie and Ji Feng behind Lin Yuan.

Liu Jie was dressed in black armor, while Ji Feng was wearing a black robe. Neither of them was wearing fur cloaks, but Jian Li immediately sensed a remarkable elite aura coming from them.

Liu Jie was a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and the disciple of the Radiance Federation's Chief Spirit Guard. Someone of his status should have been specially welcomed by the Divine Wood Federation's imperial court with a greeting banquet, and the aristocrats of the Divine Wood Federation would fight over an invitation to the banquet.

Ji Feng had been in a sorry state when he met Lin Yuan. However, he was still the true Young Leader of Sea Sky Nurture. The eliteness he had accumulated in his youth could not be removed so easily.

Jian Li could be certain that the three people riding on the Diamond/Fantasy black flood dragon had extraordinary backgrounds.

Chapter 1391: Young Man in White Looks Like a God

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Liu Jie and Ji Feng were like constellations that adorned the moon that was Lin Yuan. It was evident that he had the highest position amongst the three of them.

Luo Ya was ready to face death quietly until she heard the dragon roar coming from the distance. However, she did not expect the person arriving to be Lin Yuan.

After all, she knew very little about Lin Yuan. All she knew was that he had a white cat with many tails.

When the black flood dragon neared, Luo Ya's eyes almost flew out of her sockets so they could attach themselves to him.

Back when Luo Ya and Lin Yuan had been living together, she secretly studied him every few minutes and felt that she had a firm grasp on his appearance. Although Lin Yuan's features had not changed, his intrinsic change made her feel that he had become much more handsome than before. Now, his aura and eliteness were even harder to conceal.

If Lin Yuan had had this aura before, she would not have mistaken him for a lost member of a merchant group, no matter how much dirt was covering his body. Yôur favorite 𝒏ovels at n/𝒐(v)

The young man in white riding on a dragon was like a god in her moment of despair. The wisps of hair blowing across his forehead mesmerized her.

At that moment, Lin Yuan was befuddled as he did not understand why Luo Ya had asked to meet him at such a crowded place.

Moreover, most of the people at Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard were guards, and the hustle and bustle that Luo Ya had mentioned were completely absent. Also, why was there a Platinum purplish-black giant snake? This fey should be of a very high level in a place such as Phoebe Zhennan City.

Lin Yuan instinctively used True Data to check on the large black snake. What he saw made his lips twitch.

The Platinum X/Fantasy I Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm's low-grade ability and first exclusive skill showed that it was going in the physical direction. Yet, the person nurturing it was trying to take it up the poison-type route. However, no spirit qi was being used to change the fey's directional evolution.

This could cause the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm to forever lose its change to evolve its bloodline again.

It was true that poison-type feys had more impressive combat power than other types of feys when they were Silver, Gold, and Platinum. However, once they evolved past that level, they would be useless.

"Blackie, don't disturb the citizens. Retract your aura when we arrive in the city."

Lin Yuan touched Blackie's horns, and Blackie's body turned to jelly to the point that it almost fell out of the sky. Lin Yuan had touched Blackie's horn before, and a flood-dragon-species fey's horns were the most sensitive parts of their bodies.

Blackie had been troubled by this. It had explicitly told Lin Yuan not to touch its horns, so why was he doing it now? However, it was not repulsed by Lin Yuan touching its horns. Hence, it did not remind Lin Yuan and obediently retracted its aura as per Lin Yuan's order.

Blackie retracted its pure flood-dragon-species aura, and the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm immediately snapped out from its terrified state. It remembered the target that Zhang Tong had ordered it to attack. Thus, it opened its mouth and lunged toward Luo Ya.

Luo Ya was much more appetizing than the old bag of bones that was Luo De. Hence, it decided to start off its meal with Luo Ya.

Lin Yuan frowned and ordered Blackie, "Blackie, use Spirit Essence Explosion on the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm."

Blackie swayed its tail, and a black scale fell from the back of its tail.

A ball of pure spirit qi rose from its body and combined with the black scale. With a swish of its tail, Blackie sent the black scale and pure spirit qi flying toward the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm's body.

When the scale and spirit qi made contact with the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm, it exploded a large hole in its body. The Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm reared its head and let out an anguished roar.

Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction.

Naturally, Blackie would be able to use its own exclusive skill. However, the spirit qi it used was not as pure as Lin Yuan's own spirit qi. Hence, Blackie's attack was much less powerful than the one Lin Yuan could produce.

Although Blackie was a support-type fey, its combat ability was not weak. It might not be able to use Spirit Essence Explosion to defeat a combat-type fey of the same grade, but it was more than enough to cause serious damage to a combat-type fey of a lower grade.

When the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm was roaring in pain, Luo Ya took the chance to yank Luo De to the side to prevent him from becoming injured by the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm's flailing.

The black flood dragon's sudden attack caused Zhang Tong's expression to shift abruptly. Even Jian Li's gaze darkened.

Could the three people riding on the black flood dragon be foes instead of friends?

Jian Li could not remember if he had met these three people. He turned to look at Luo Ya and noticed that her gaze was fixed on the young man in white. Now, he realized that Luo Ya knew that young man.

This explained why the young man had suddenly attacked the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm.

While Jian Li was thinking, the two guards were afraid that the black flood dragon would attack Jian Li next, so they stood in front of him despite not being permitted by Jian Li to do so. The two of them summoned their feys.

The Divine Wood Federation had trained the guards to protect the safety of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence, and all of them were top experts.

In order for their main feys to have the most power possible, the Divine Wood Federation invested all their resources into the main feys of the guards. As such, every guard only had one fey.

The guards summoned a large armored insect and a golden and brown monkey that was a head shorter than Jian Li.

The dark green armored insect was seven-meters-long, three meters tall, and four meters wide. It resembled a moving tank. Its shell was like a mirror that clearly reflected its surroundings. Its thick insect armor and clumsy movements were proof that it excelled at defense.

Meanwhile, the golden and brown monkey's body erupted into flames. The fire set the air in Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard alight, and waves of heat rolled off the monkey's body and shot into the sky. Its fists were raised, with two fire pillars shooting out of them. Evidently, this monkey was very skilled at attacking.

The guards assigned to the members of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence were usually evenly matched by one being skilled at attacking while the other defending.

Chapter 1392: Insects All Over the Courtyard

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The giant dark green armored insect and the fiery brown and golden monkey flanked Jian Li. They immediately prepared themselves to take on the large black flood dragon.

When the guards summoned their feys, Lin Yuan checked on them using True Data. He learned that one of them was the Diamond X/Fantasy IV Armored Wood Reflect Insect while the other was the Diamond X/Fantasy V Explosive Fire Golden Monkey.

The Armored Wood Reflect Insect's abilities and exclusive skills were impressive, and it had the ability to reflect damage. However, it had much less potential than Chu Ci's Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly.

As for the Explosive Fire Golden Monkey, it was a combat-type fey with both physical and elemental attacking skills. There was nothing special about its abilities, but its dual attacking skills meant that it did not have any weaknesses.

Both the Armored Wood Reflect Insect and the Explosive Fire Golden Monkey were pinnacle Fantasy Breed feys. The Explosive Fire Golden Monkey was only one step away from being able to receive the World Cleansing and evolving to Myth Breed.

This meant that the two armored men in front of the short boy were pinnacle king-class experts.

Lin Yuan had come to Phoebe Zhennan City to see Luo Ya and obtain the Item-Storing Walnut Trees from here.

He also wanted to see if any feys like the Clear Sunshine Flower were being sold on Phoebe Zhennan City's market. This would allow him to get a sense of the price of feys like the Clear Sunshine Flower that could produce weather.

If Phoebe Zhennan City sold many plant-type feys that could produce weather, Lin Yuan would purchase plenty of them so that Gray would be able to increase its power.

If there were not many of such plant-type feys being sold in Phoebe Zhennan City, Lin Yuan would head to Oak City to fetch Su Yiren and contact the Sincere Merchant Group. He wanted to use his connection to the Sincere Merchant Group to obtain a large stock of feys like the Clear Sunshine Flower from the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce.

But now, the situation was different from what Lin Yuan had expected.

Jian Li hurriedly prepared to stop the two guards when they summoned their feys. Assuming attack positions would seal the current circumstances. How was Jian Li supposed to become friends with the young man riding on the black flood dragon if that happened?

Before Jian Li could tell the two guards to recall their feys, Liu Jie's expression hardened.

There was nothing Liu Jie hated more than someone targeting Lin Yuan. Since they were so clearly preparing to attack Lin Yuan, no one could blame Liu Jie for returning the favor.

The spirit qi in Liu Jie's body that Blackie had replenished started to flow. If he used his spirit qi, he would produce an even more violent reaction than when the Insect Queen produced the Hurricane Owlet Moths.

Since the Insect Queen had reached Diamond X/Fantasy V, it could produce insect-species feys between Normal quality and Diamond X/Fantasy V quality.

However, Liu Jie had always employed the strategy of using an army of insects. Thus, he rarely instructed the Insect Queen to produce Diamond X/Fantasy feys.

This time, Liu Jie did not instruct the Insect Queen to produce insects that would use a large amount of energy and insect protein like the Hurricane Owlet Moths, Lightning Gathering Moths, or Plasma Caterpillars. Instead, it produced a large number of Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects.

As the Diamond X/Fantasy I Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects were produced one by one by the Insect QueenDimensional in the Dimensional Light Moth's abdomen, they gathered on the ground and started crawling toward Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard.

The 300 Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects crawled without making any noise. Every step that they took pierced the light green stone below them and left behind a terrifying scar on the ground.

The two guards would not be afraid if it were just one Diamond X/Fantasy I Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect. From their experience in combat, they were confident of being able to kill one Diamond X/Fantasy I Flesh-Mincing Blade Insect. After all, the Armored Wood Reflect Insect was Fantasy IV and the Explosive Fire Golden Monkey was Fantasy V.

But when they gathered together, it was a completely different situation.

Phoebe Zhennan City had never experienced a terrifying disaster on the same scale as 300 Diamond/Fantasy insects. The army of Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects turned Phoebe Zhennan City into a hell.

Even the experienced Jian Li could not help but suck in a sharp breath when he saw the army of Diamond/Fantasy insects.

Once Liu Jie was done doing this, he turned to look at Lin Yuan questioningly as he waited for Lin Yuan's signal to go ahead with attacking the Armored Wood Reflect Insect and Explosive Fire Golden Monkey.

Lin Yuan gently shook his head. The situation was still too unclear, and there was no need for a direct attack.

A few months ago, Lin Yuan looked up to pinnacle king-class experts. But now, they posed no threat to him. It would not benefit him in any way to kill the two pinnacle king-class experts.

Just as Blackie was about to land on the ground, Lin Yuan waved his hand and returned Blackie to the spiritual spatial zone.

Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Ji Feng landed in Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard in a charismatic manner.

Jian Li, Zhang Tong, and the rest could not help but widen their eyes.

Everyone clearly saw that the young man dressed in white had not taken out an Item-Storing Walnut when he recalled the black flood dragon.

This meant that the giant black flood dragon was the young man's contracted fey. This was stupefying news! The young man dressed in white was so young, yet he already had a Diamond/Fantasy fey. Yôur favorite 𝒏ovels at n/𝒐(v)

Jian Li was #83 of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence, and his strongest fey was only Gold X/Fantasy I. He had always been proud of his power. But compared with this young man, it was clear that Jian Li fell far short.

When Lin Yuan walked toward Jian Li, the latter hurriedly said to the two guards next to him, "What are the two of you doing? Why would you summon your feys when a friend arrived?"

Jian Li spoke loudly enough for every person present to hear what he said.

This left a bad taste in Zhang Tong's mouth. He was the one who had gone to the effort of setting up this welcoming for Jian Li. In order to pander to Jian Li, Zhang Tong had even called out the strongest fey in his family.

The Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm had been seriously injured by the person riding on the giant black flood dragon and was still rolling around the ground and crying out in agony.

Yet, Jian Li was smiling at the person who had attacked the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm and had addressed him as 'friend'. This word was a stab in Zhang Tong's back.

If that young man in white is your friend, what does that make me!?

Chapter 1393: Ambiguous Identity

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan did not know who Jian Li was and ignored his greeting.

Since the only person present that he knew was Luo Ya, he waved at her and went over to ask her how she was.

When Lin Yuan waved at Luo Ya, she hurriedly dragged the shocked Luo De along with her as she sprinted to Lin Yuan.

Previously, Luo De's face had been one of absolute terror as he assumed that he was about to be eaten by a snake because of his daughter.

He did not expect the giant black flood dragon that had suddenly appeared in the sky to save him and Luo Ya.

A guess formed in Luo De's mind.

Could one of the three people on the giant black flood dragon's back be Luo Ya's boyfriend? If so, there would be no point in him forcing Luo Ya and Huang Yu to get to know and eventually marry Huang Yu. Jian Li had already acted in a friendly manner to those three people.

Luo De slowly stopped trembling, and his body became ramrod straight. It was as though his position had been elevated to the same level as that of Zhang Tong and Jian Li.

When Lin Yuan saw Luo Ya running toward him, he asked, "Didn't we agree to meet here? What's going on?"

Luo Ya lowered her head in embarrassment. She turned to look in Zhang Tong and Jian Li's direction and noticed that Zhang Tong was looking at her threateningly.

Her eyes flashed, and she turned to say to Lin Yuan, "I didn't know what Zhang Tong would be welcoming Lord Jian Li here when I told you to meet me here. Luckily, no misunderstanding took place."

Luo Ya lowered her voice and explained to Lin Yuan softly, "Zhang Tong is the Young Leader of a Class 3 Creation Master family in Phoebe Zhennan City, while Lord Jian Li is a member of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence."

At that moment, Luo Ya felt extremely wronged over almost becoming the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm's meal just because of an expression she pulled.

However, her relationship with Lin Yuan was still not deep enough. To put it in strict terms, their relationship extended as far as him saving her life from the Class 2 subterranean dimensional rift at the border between the Divine Wood Federation and Iron Hammer Federation.

Thus, Luo Ya did not explain the situation to Lin Yuan exactly.

If Lin Yuan had not arrived on the giant black flood dragon, the current situation would have been completely different.

Judging from the current situation, Lin Yuan knew that something had to have happened. Nonetheless, he did not care.

Zhang Tong was the Young Leader of a Class 3 Creation Master family and could act as he pleased in Phoebe Zhennan City. However, this did not matter to Lin Yuan in the slightest.

If Lin Yuan wanted a Class 3 Creation Master, it would take less than two days for Genius to train a Hundred Questions Beast to that level. To Lin Yuan, a Class 3 Creation Master was as good as worthless.

Rather, it was Jian Li's status as a member of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence that piqued Lin Yuan's interest.

If Lin Yuan could use Jian Li's status, he would be able to quickly gain access to the upper echelon of the Divine Wood Federation and gain information that only the most elite would have access to.

While Lin Yuan was thinking about what he could do with Jian Li's status, Jian Li walked over to Lin Yuan.

When Jian Li walked over to the young man dressed in white, his two guards and Zhang Tong quickly followed.

The approaching Jian Li and Zhang Tong frightened Luo Ya, and her first instinct was to curl up.

Lin Yuan noticed Luo Ya's reaction and linked it to the Platinum Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm that had almost gobbled her up. This led him to realize what was going on.

Liu Jie had been noticing Lin Yuan's gaze. When he saw Lin Yuan looking at Jian Li with interest, he realized what Lin Yuan had in mind.

Coincidentally, the thrashing Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm used its tail to tightly wrap around its wound in an attempt to quicken the growth of new flesh. This caused it to let out a series of cries.

Liu Jie bowed to Lin Yuan and asked, "Young Master, this little snake that hasn't even awakened its flood dragon bloodline has disturbed you. Why don't I do away with it so that it won't bother you again?"

Lin Yuan understood Liu Jie's personality and knew that he was not bloodthirsty. Although Liu Jie was Lin Yuan's retainer, he never bowed to him. He usually addressed Lin Yuan by name and only called him 'Young Master' during important situations.

Hence, it was most likely that Liu Jie was trying to set up the situation for Lin Yuan so that he would be able to gain power over the situation.

Lin Yuan glanced at Zhang Tong, and a thoughtful expression came over him. It was as though he was pondering whether Liu Jie's suggestion was feasible. Fị𝒏dd 𝒏ew upd𝒂t𝒆s on n(o)v/e/l𝒃

Zhang Tong's expression shifted when he heard what Liu Jie said, and he felt the same despair that had filled Luo Ya's world just minutes ago.

The Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm was his father's main fey and the Zhang family's strongest combatant. If the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm was killed, his father's spirit would be damaged.

A Class 3 Creation Master relied on their spiritual energy to concoct spirit fluid. If his spirit was injured, his father would be demoted from a Class 3 Creation Master, and the Zhang family's status as a Class 3 Creation Master family would be stripped from them.

Without Zhang Tong's father, the Zhang family would no longer be valuable in Jian Li's eyes.

The Zhang family had dictated Phoebe Zhennan City for a long time. If Zhang Tong's father fell and the Zhang family lost their strongest combat power, the Huang family would not attack them on account of Zhang Tong's mother. However, the Luo, Meng, and Li families would band together to target the Zhang family.

Moreover, Luo Ya was acquainted with the young man dressed in white, and it was possible that he would move on to attacking the Zhang family after he killed the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm.

Zhang Tong turned and looked at Jian Li with pleading eyes, hoping the latter would say something on his behalf to garner mercy.

Alas, when Jian Li noticed Zhang Tong's gaze, he looked away without sparing him another glance.

Jian Li's standoffish behavior caused Zhang Tong's heart to become cold.

Jian Li had assumed that the three people who had arrived on the black flood dragon were colleagues. All of them had exceptional auras and seemed like members of the Great Lush Federation's secret elite families.

Yet, it turned out that the young man in black armor was the servant of the young man dressed in white. Moreover, the young man in black armor was the one who had produced the army of insects. It was astonishing that a mere servant would have the aura of a son of a secret elite family.

This made it even more difficult for Jian Li to figure Lin Yuan out. He started to hesitate in his steps forward.

When Zhang Tong became sure that Jian Li had no intention of helping him, he gnashed his teeth and took a few steps forward before falling to his knees and speaking to Lin Yuan.

Chapter 1394: Welcome Banquet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Sir, the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm is my father's fey. I have zero intention of offending you. Feys are meant to sustain pain, but I wonder if the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm's cries disturb you? I will order it to leave immediately so it won't bother you any longer."

When Lin Yuan saw Zhang Tong's pale and pleading expression, he could tell what kind of person Zhang Tong was.

Zhang Tong had shot Jian Li several pleading looks.

According to Luo Ya, Zhang Tong had come to welcome Jian Li. This meant that Zhang Tong and Jian Li were friends.

Jian Li was a member of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence and had a higher status than Zhang Tong, who came from a Class 3 Creation Master family.

Yet, when Zhang Tong tried pleading with him for help, Jian Li completely brushed him aside. Jian Li sure was cruel!

Just as Zhang Tong was about to become sure that Lin Yuan would disagree and the insect army was about to advance, Zhang Tong heard a clear voice say, "Since you mentioned that a fey is meant to sustain pain, there isn't a point in blaming a fey for doing what it's meant to do."

Zhang Tong was stunned by what Lin Yuan said. He lifted his head and saw that Lin Yuan was looking straight at him.

The young man's pure black eyes that resembled the night sky made Zhang Tong feel as though he was falling into a bottomless abyss.

Jian Li looked surprised that Lin Yuan had spared the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm, and he took a step forward and said, "Zhang Tone, why aren't you thanking him? By showing mercy on the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm, he's doing your family a favor. Why don't you hold a banquet tonight in your family's banquet hall to thank him?"

Jian Li's words were structured in a way that seemed to be helping Zhang Tong. It was as though he had not helped Zhang Tong before because he had not had the time.

But in actuality, the insects that were present were making him too uncomfortable. Visitt nov𝒆lbin.c𝒐/m for the l𝒂test updates

The two guards had summoned their feys and poised themselves to attack the black flood dragon.

The insects had been summoned because of the previous confrontation.

Jian Li was afraid that Lin Yuan would reject his attempt to show friendliness. If that happened, Jian Li would be at a loss.

The Jian family was an important aristocrat in the Divine Wood Federation, and the people of the Divine Wood Federation were open-minded.

There were over 20 direct descendants in the Jian family, and three of them had made it into the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence.

Jian Li was the youngest of all of them, but his rank in the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence was also the lowest.

Nonetheless, he had always hoped to compete with his two older brothers but had never found the opportunity to. But now, he saw Lin Yuan as that opportunity.

Although the people in an aristocratic family only surrounded themselves with their trusted aides, they were cold toward each other.

One would only be able to gain benefits and glory by continuously climbing until one reached the apex.

This principle had been hammered into Jian Li for as long as he could remember.

When Zhang Tong did not immediately respond, Jian Li kicked him and brought him back to his wits.

Zhang Tong hurriedly said, "In order to express my thanks, I would like to hold a banquet in my family's banquet hall tonight to welcome you to Phoebe Zhennan city. We can welcome both you and Lord Jian Li together. Do you have time to attend?"

Liu Jie and Lin Yuan's actions were intended to get Zhang Tong or Jian Li to set up a suitable societal setting.

Lin Yuan was new to the Divine Wood Federation, and Luo Ya would not be able to help him much. Hence, a banquet like this was just what he needed.

"I will stay in Phoebe Zhennan City for a day and leave tomorrow. So, I will be free tonight."

Zhang Tong turned to say to Luo Ya and Luo De, "Little Ya, since you're acquainted with this young man and you know the address, you can take him there."

Luo Ya and Luo De's breathing hitched. They never expected to be personally invited by Zhang Tong to attend such an event. This was all thanks to Lin Yuan!

Moreover, Luo De could tell from the way that Zhang Tong addressed Luo Ya that the Zhang family now regarded the Luo family as a trusted aide. From now on, the Luo family would be able to progress rapidly, just like the Huang family was.

Luo De and Luo Ya immediately and happily accepted Zhang Tong's invitation.

Zhang Tong only rose to his feet when Luo De and Luo Ya led Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Ji Feng away from Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard and toward the Luo family.

At the moment that Zhang Tong stood up, the way he looked at Jian Li changed.

Although Zhang Tong still looked at Jian Li with the same warm gaze, they had lost all sincerity.

Zhang Tong was devastated by the way Jian Li had forsaken the Zhang family without hesitation. He now knew that the support the Zhang family received from the Jian family was only due to the benefits they were eyeing to gain. When push came to shove, they would abandon the Zhang family at any moment.

Since the young man dressed in white was going to attend the banquet at the Zhang family tonight, Zhang Tong hoped that he would be able to pull away from Jian Li and begin a collaboration with the young man instead.

The young man in white came from the Great Lush Federation and was dressed lavishly. Thus, he had to possess many resources.

As long as a large chamber of commerce set up a branch in Phoebe Zhennan City, the city's finances would skyrocket in a short span of time.

However, this was only Zhang Tong's dream.

Given Phoebe Zhennan City's geographical position, it was unlikely that a chamber of commerce would set up a branch in Phoebe Zhennan City.

But if the Zhang family could start working for this young man, they might get to enjoy more benefits than if a chamber of commerce opened a branch in Phoebe Zhennan City.

Every person present had their own motives. At first, Zhang Tong had planned on personally escorting Jian Li to the Zhang family's residence to rest.

But now, he was so disappointed in Jian Li that he gave the excuse that he had to clean up the mess at Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard so the Dagger Wings Eagle Sparrow would have to take the injured Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm, Jian Li, and his two guards to the Zhang family's residence instead.

After Jian Li and the two guards left, Zhang Tong let out a breath of relief and looked at the ashen-faced Huang Yu.

He furiously stomped up to Huang Yu and stood silently next to him. When everyone else left, Huang Yu gnashed his teeth and growled, "Cousin, is Luo Ya in a relationship with that person? She was calling someone the entire way here. It's possible that she was trying to call him. I'm going home now to ask my father to personally ask Uncle Luo about this. If there's nothing between Ah Ya and that person, I want to be engaged with her this instant—"

Before Huang Yu could finish speaking, Zhang Tong fiercely slapped him. He had put all his strength into this slap and sent the 1.8-meter-tall Huang Yu falling to the ground.

Chapter 1395: Luo De's Fawning

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhang Tong sneered at Huang Yu. "Think of that young man and Luo Ya's status. Do you think someone like him would go for her? The aristocrats of the Great Lush Federation are always monogamous. Don't you know that? The young man will be leaving tomorrow, and there's no way he will be taking Luo Ya with him. Once he leaves, I won't stop you if you want to pursue Luo Ya. But if you're going to force her, you might cause disaster for the Huang family. Don't say I didn't warn you. You better think this through carefully!"

Zhang Tong noticed that Luo Ya had been fully fixated on the young man, but he had not done the same.

If the two of them had a secret relationship, she would not have kept her mistreatment to herself.

Luckily, there was nothing between the two of them. Otherwise, no one would have been able to survive the attack from the army of insects.

Zhang Tong ignored the stunned Huang Yu and took a deep breath. He pulled out his phone to call his father to explain the situation before Jian Li arrived at the Zhang family's residence.

He also wanted his father to come to a decision.

Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Ji Feng didn't stay with the Luo family despite having been invited by Luo De and Luo Ya. Instead, they rented a treehouse nearby the Luo family's residence so they could experience the Divine Wood Federation's unique architecture.

Lin Yuan's rejection had disappointed Luo Ya. However, she had gained enough experience and knowledge to know that there was no future where she and Lin Yuan could be together.

Luo Ya forced herself to bury this affection deep within her and decided to deepen their relationship in another way. 𝒩eew updates 𝒂t n𝒐vel/bi𝒏.com

"Lin Yuan, have a rest in this treehouse before you come to my house to have a simple meal. I'll pass you the Item-Storing Walnut Trees then," said Luo Ya.

When Luo De heard that Luo Ya was going to give the Item-Storing Walnut Trees to Lin Yuan, he slapped his leg and said, "Our family has the most Item-Storing Walnut Trees out of all the four Class 2 families in the city. Besides the sprouts I replanted and am unsure of whether they will survive, we have a total of 26 Item-Storing Walnut Trees. If they please you, I can give them all to you."

Luo De knew that someone like Lin Yuan would not take the Luo family's Item-Storing Walnut Trees without giving anything in return. He also saw no hope of anything happening between his daughter and Lin Yuan. However, he could use their link to become acquainted with the powerful mountain that was Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan had come to the Divine Wood Federation to obtain the Item-Storing Walnut Trees so that he could travel freely between the Radiance Federation and Divine Wood Federation.

If he had to use spatial crystals for his trip back to the Radiance Federation, he would run out of them.

Thus, he accepted Luo Ya's invitation to go to the Luo family. He wanted to see if the Item-Storing Walnut trees were easy to nurture and how long it would take for them to produce one Item-Storing Walnut.

After settling into the treehouse, Lin Yuan and Liu Jie headed for the Luo family.

Ji Feng stayed in the treehouse and released the Karma Sword Lily and Prior Decree Sleeping Lotus. The two feys changed into human form. One of them remained in Phoebe Zhennan City to keep watch over the situation while the other headed to Oak City as a scout.

Ji Feng was taking over Liu Jie's role as the scout because his feys would be able to form a complete geographical map of Phoebe Zhennan City and Oak City and because Lin Yuan was afraid that with Su Yiren's soul injury, an accident would happen if she stayed in Oak City by herself for too long.

Su Yiren was important to Lin Yuan because she would be useful to his development in the Divine Wood Federation.

Her status as a Dark Envoy was also a type of resource. If Lin Yuan wanted to break into the Dark Continent, everything would run smoothly as long as Su Yiren was around.

The Prior Decree Sleeping Lotus could heal soul injuries, so it was suitable for it to be the one to head to Oak City.

Ever since Lin Yuan saved Ji Feng, he had been tiptoeing everywhere in the Radiance Federation.

In the time that he had been in the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce, he had not left the place for fear of being spotted by someone from Ten Thousand Flags Trading. This excluded the times that Lin Yuan ordered him to return to the mansion.

Now that he could allow the Karma Sword Lily and Prior Decree Sleeping Lotus to move around freely, Ji Feng reclaimed a sense of freedom that he had not felt for a long time.

After Lin Yuan and Liu Jie arrived at the Luo family, Luo Ya hurriedly went to pick fresh fruits.

Meanwhile, Luo De ordered a servant to prepare a meal of the highest quality. He invited Lin Yuan to sit at the head of the table while Liu Jie was seated right next to Lin Yuan.

Luo De took another seat. The way they were seated made it seem as though Lin Yuan was actually the head of the household.

Luo De racked his brain to come up with a topic he could chat with Lin Yuan about. He was afraid of saying something wrong that would offend Lin Yuan and cause trouble for the Luo family.

The Luo family did not have what it took to offend a person that even Zhang Tong and Jian Li were trying to butter up.

Luo De was so anxious that he instinctively took two Item-Storing Walnuts out of his sleeve and started to toy with them in his hand.

Lin Yuan did not immediately recognize that the items in Luo De's hand were the Item-Storing Walnuts. He had to sense the spatial energy within them and use True Data before he discovered that they were Silver/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts.

Luo De noticed that Lin Yuan was interested in the Item-Storing Walnuts. He smiled and plastered on a look of reluctance. After hesitating for a moment, he bit his lip and presented the two Item-Storing Walnuts to Lin Yuan as he said, "Lord, these are Item-Storing Walnuts that I have kept by my side to use as toys for about seven years. They are Silver/Epic. They are large and have smooth lines that make them look great as a set. If you like them, I can gift them to you."

Lin Yuan nodded as he learned that Luo De had the habit of toying with the Item-Storing Walnuts.

He had seen regular Silver Item-Storing Walnuts. They were mud-yellow in color and did not look very appealing. It was likely that the ones that Luo De kept with him resembled rubies because he had been playing with them for seven years.

In his previous life, Lin Yuan had seen many wealthy old men keep walnuts with them at all times to play with. However, he had never found anyone with such habits in the Radiance Federation.

Chapter 1396: Accidentally Discovered a Way to Become Rich

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Visitt nov𝒆lbin.c𝒐/m for the l𝒂test updates

From the way Luo De treated the Item-Storing Walnuts like precious items, it was clear that they were his treasures.

Lin Yuan had assumed that the Item-Storing Walnuts were storage tools used by the Divine Wood Federation's spirit qi professionals. But now, the Item-Storing Walnuts seemed more valuable than his initial expectation.

If they were just storage tools, their abilities would become stronger in a directly proportional relationship to their grades.

From Luo Ya's introduction of the Item-Storing Walnuts, Lin Yuan realized that the Item-Storing Walnuts had an advantage that the fey storage boxes lacked. This advantage was that once the Item-Storing Walnut reached Legend quality, they would produce more chambers that could store living feys. The fey storage boxes produced by Ostrich Logistics did not have this ability to divide up space.

This ability also meant that one would have to own a Legend Item-Storing Walnut in order to buy and sell feys in the Divine Wood Federation. This was a high hurdle that only large factions would be able to cross.

The higher the fey grade, the easier it would be for them to reach Legend quality.

A Class 3 Creation Master would need a long time to nurture the Item-Storing Walnut Tree to Diamond/Legend.

Moreover, the Item-Storing Walnut could be used multiple times. Each time it was used, the stored energy within the Item-Storing Walnut would be used up. Hence, the Item-Storing Walnut would still eventually run out of usages even if it had reached Diamond/Legend.

Lin Yuan was not interested in the Item-Storing Walnuts that Luo De was currently offering him.

Luo De's Item-Storing Walnuts looked this way because they had interacted with his skin for a long time and absorbed the oils, which eventually changed their exterior.

Lin Yuan did not want to touch an item that had been soaked in seven years' worth of a middle-aged man's sweat, no matter how pleasing the Item Storing Walnuts appeared.

A Class 2 Creation Master could not nurture the Silver/Epic Item-Storing Walnut. Only low-grade Class 4 Creation Masters and above could nurture the Silver/Epic Item-Storing Walnut.

There were no low-grade Class 4 Creation Masters in Phoebe Zhennan City. This meant that Luo De had to have spent a large amount of money to obtain the Silver/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts.

As Lin Yuan thought about how people in his past life who liked walnuts acted, he could tell that the higher the grade of the Item-Storing Walnut, the more expensive it would be.

It could be that high-quality Item-Storing Walnuts were considered luxury items in the Divine Wood Federation.

With this in mind, Lin Yuan planned on asking Luo De. If he were right, it would mean that he had accidentally discovered a way to become rich.

"I have treasures of my own. Since you've had these Item-Storing Walnuts for seven years, it shows how much they mean to you. I never take things that are important to others. I wonder how much Silver/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts are worth?"

Luo De looked surprised.

It was common practice in the Divine Wood Federation to keep the Item-Storing Walnuts as toys. Any head or direct descendant of a family with power would keep some around for entertainment.

As Luo De looked back on the cost of these Silver/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts, his heart ached. He had paid almost half of the Luo family's resources to buy the Item-Storing Walnuts from an auction.

He even had had to beat out the head of the Meng family for them. As a result, a grudge was formed between the Luo family and the Meng family. All their squabbles and fights over the past seven years had been a result of these Item-Storing Walnuts.

However, these Item-Storing Walnuts had also helped Luo De to puff up his pride at numerous gatherings.

If Lin Yuan was truly from one of the Great Lush Federation's secret elite families, he had to be aware of how much the Item-Storing Walnuts were worth.

Although the Item-Storing Walnuts were fashionable in the Divine Wood Federation, most of the Creation Masters who nurtured them came from the Great Lush Federation.

The Creation Masters from the Divine Wood Federation came from different families and spent all their time and resources on increasing their own family's power. As such, they did not have many resources left over for something like the Item-Storing Walnut.

If they could not spend as many resources strengthening their family because they spent it on nurturing the Item-Storing Walnut and their family was attacked, they would have doomed themselves over a toy.

Luo De was now slightly suspicious of Lin Yuan. But when he fixed his eyes on Lin Yuan's belt, all his suspicions vanished.

Look at this opulent belt. If this young man was not a member of one of the Great Lush Federation's secret elite families, who else could he be?

"Normally, low-grade Item-Storing Walnuts can be traded for using goods. In terms of Great Lush dollars, this pair of Item-Storing Walnuts should cost about 8,000,000 Great Lush dollars."

Lin Yuan almost choked when he heard the price. The Item-Storing Walnut sure was expensive!

Great Lush dollars and Radiance dollars basically had the same currency strength.

In the Radiance Federation, 8,000,000 Radiance dollars would be able to buy a Silver/Epic fey.

Lin Yuan had paid special attention to the price of items in the Divine Wood Federation while he was making his way from Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard to the Luo family's residence.

When it came to other items, the same goods cost the same in the Divine Wood Federation and the Radiance Federation.

The Item-Storing Walnut's cost was due to how fashionable it was in the Divine Wood Federation and the scarcity of Creation Master resources in the Divine Wood Federation.

Lin Yuan thought,?Will I be able to use a low-grade high-quality Item-Storing Walnut to buy up all the resources in the Divine Wood Federation? It would be easy for me to produce the Bronze/Legend Item-Storing Walnut much less a Bronze/Epic one.

However, he would not produce the Bronze/Legend Item-Storing Walnuts in the Divine Wood Federation because it would be like announcing to the entire Startling Lines Continent that Bronze/Legend Item-Storing Walnuts existed.

A Class 5 Creation Master could only nurture Bronze/Legend Item-Storing Walnut Trees.

The appearance of a Class 5 Creation Master would exert unprecedented pressure on the imperial courts of the three major federations, and they could even band together to attack that Class 5 Creation Master.

This was completely unnecessary in Lin Yuan's eyes.

However, he would not have to worry too much if he only produced the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnut.

"I heard that a set of Silver/Legend Item-Storing Walnuts appeared in Oak City that was auctioned off for 31,000,000 Great Lush dollars. They were bought by the Fan family, the second-most important family in Oak City."

Chapter 1397: Nurturing the Item-Storing Walnut Tree

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Luo De paused before saying nervously, "A pair of Bronze/Epic Item-Containing Walnuts will cost at least 10,000,000 Great Lush dollars. But even then, they will still be fought over by all the members of aristocratic families in Sacred Forest City."

Luo De was so excited that he failed to control himself and asked Lin Yuan curiously, "Lord, you mentioned that you also have things that you treasure. Would you be willing to show it to me?"

The moment he finished speaking, he realized he had misspoken.

I was too daring! With this young man's status, I have no right to ask to see his treasure.

Lin Yuan did not blame Luo De. However, he could not show Luo De his treasures either, as he was afraid that it would terrify Luo De.

He had a string of pearls made of the Heavenly Maiden Sleet and Over the Rail Coral elemental pearls, which not even Class 5 Creation Masters could produce. If such an item appeared in the Divine Wood Federation, he would immediately become the entire federation's target.

Luo De was afraid of misspeaking again during this silence. Luo Ya walked in, holding a tray of various fruits.

There was only a small amount of each kind of fruit, and the combination of 30 types of fruit released a tempting fragrance that filled the room with a fresh fruity scent.

The bottom of the plate was covered in crushed ice, making the fruit appear even juicier.

Lin Yuan thought,?It's no lie that the Divine Wood Federation is known for producing plant-type feys. I could take some of these fruit-producing feys to the marsh world and nurture them there as a backup source of food.

After Luo Ya set the tray down on the table, she took out two four-meter-tall trees.

Although each tree was only four meters tall, their branches were almost half a meter thick each. Two people must stretch their arms around the branches to wrap them fully. This height and thickness were not proportional and made the small trees seem slightly odd.

However, Lin Yuan knew that once the trees reached a certain height, they would stop changing.

A tree's thickness was connected to its age. Given these two trees' thickness, they could be almost 300 years old.

Lin Yuan accepted the two trees from Luo Ya.

During the meal, Lin Yuan asked Luo Ya if she had a fey like the Clear Sunshine Flower that could produce weather. He was surprised to learn that the Luo family did not have any such feys.

However, he managed to learn from Luo Ya where he could obtain feys that could change weather. They were usually used to decorate the gardens of Class 3 Creation Master families or beautify their interior surroundings.

Seven years ago, the Luo family did have several pots of the Snow Crystal Orchid and the Cloudy Fog Sunflower. However, they had been part of the batch of goods that Luo De had traded away for the Silver/Epic.

Lin Yuan found out from Luo Ya that feys that could change weather did not come cheap.

But no matter the cost, it did not matter to Lin Yuan. No matter how expensive it was, the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnut would be able to handle it easily.

Now that he knew how much the feys that could change weather cost, he did not have to ask Zhang Tong and Jian Li about it at tonight's dinner.

Since the Luo family could obtain them in the past, it indicated that it was not difficult to obtain them.

In a large city like Oak City, it would be easy to obtain them from the Deep Freeze Chamber of Commerce through the Sincere Merchant Group.

At that time, Gray could evolve its power even without absorbing external weather phenomena. CH𝒆Ck for 𝒏ew st𝒐ries on no/v/el/bin.c0m

After the meal, Lin Yuan rejected Luo Ya and Luo De's offer for him to stay. After he agreed to go to the Zhang family's residence with them tonight, Lin Yuan and Liu Jie returned to the treehouse.

Once he was back in the treehouse, Lin Yuan immediately entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone to study how he could nurture the two Item-Storing Walnut Trees.

Since Chimey was no longer in the Radiance Federation and was out of range of Star Web, it could not live-stream on Star Web. Instead, it tried its best to absorb energy from the strange flames to temper its body so that it would be able to evolve to Myth II and change into human form as soon as possible.

Lin Yuan knew that Chimey badly wanted to hold a fan meeting.

Genius and the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope were playing with a ball of mist. The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope blocked Genius from touching the ball of mist like they were playing 'protect the balloon'.

When Lin Yuan entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone, the ball of mist immediately charged toward him.

He opened his arms wide and closed them around the ball of mist to give Gray a bear hug.

Lin Yuan stroked Gray's jeweled feathers and said, "Gray, in another two days, you'll be able to evolve your power while remaining in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. Once you reach Diamond X/Legend and comprehend a Willpower Rune, you'll be able to evolve to Fantasy Breed. At that time, you'll be able to be shrouded by willpowers while you're absorbing weather from the outside world without having to be afraid of being discovered."

Gray happily nuzzled into Lin Yuan's arms.

Now, Genius came over to Lin Yuan. It carefully looked over the two Item-Storing Walnut Trees and said, "Yuan, these two Item-Storing Walnut Trees won't require a constant stream of pure spirit qi in order to be nurtured. If you want them to produce the Item-Storing Walnuts quickly, you just have to use spirit fluids to nourish them continuously.

"As of now, the fat ginger and I have buried over 40 pieces of marsh soil in our territory in the marsh world. We can use that area to nurture the Item-Storing Walnuts. The first batch of fruits will grow within a week if we use the Sacrificial Fire to roast the Item-Storing Walnuts. However, it will take at least a month for them to mature."

Lin Yuan's face lit up with delight. With Genius around, he would not have to use True Data to check on the Item-Storing Walnut Trees.

If the Item-Storing Walnut Trees could truly produce fruits within a week, they would be full of spatial energy despite being unripe. This would be enough for Lin Yuan to use them to back and forth through the Space Tunnel.

The only caveat was that he would not be able to gain the complete Item-Storing Walnuts. However, he did not care.

One of the Item-Storing Walnut Trees would be used to produce fruit while the other would not. Lin Yuan gave the one that would not produce fruit to Genius.

Chapter 1398: Lin Yuan: Decked Out in Excess

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Genius was going to take them to the marsh world to be nurtured.

Lin Yuan planned on nurturing the Item-Storing Walnut Tree that could bear fruit himself and evolve it to Bronze X/Epic.

When he evolved the Item-Storing Walnut Tree's quality, the quality of the fruits it produced would also be improved accordingly. This would mean that Lin Yuan would be able to receive a batch of high-quality Bronze Item-Storing Walnuts right from the start.

Lin Yuan circulated his spiritual power and placed his hand on the Item-Storing Walnut Tree's thick trunk. After a few minutes, the Item-Storing Walnut Tree's quality evolved from Normal to Epic.

These new fruits should be juicier and larger than before. Once they were ripe, they would be covered with a layer of green skin that could be peeled away to reveal the Item-Storing Walnut's true appearance underneath.

Lin Yuan did a quick calculation and found that there were exactly 60 Item-Storing Walnuts on the Item-Storing Walnut Trees. If he was lucky, he would be able to have 30 pairs.

He would not have to harvest the Item-Storing Walnuts himself. Lin Yuan said to the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope, "Wind Speed Rapid Antelope, use an air blade to cut down the Item-Storing Walnuts from the tree. Then, use a tornado to pick them up." Visitt nov𝒆lbin.c𝒐/m for the l𝒂test updates

The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope immediately jumped into action.

The Item-Storing Walnuts were extremely hard. Even when the Item-Storing Walnut used all its strength, it would struggle to make a dent in the Item-Storing Walnuts.

But the Item-Storing Walnut's green skin was soft and would be peeled off when the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope used a tornado on them. This would leave the Item-Storing Walnut in a cleaned state.

Soon, the tornado peeled off the skin of all 60 of the Item-Storing Walnuts, leaving the red fruits spinning in midair.

The Item-Storing Walnuts were all about the same size but had different markings on them. As such, Lin Yuan would not have to worry about matching them up.

Lin Yuan's jaw almost dropped as he looked at the scarlet Item-Storing Walnuts. The Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts were completely different from the previous Bronze Item-Storing Walnuts he had seen.

If someone started to play with these Item-Storing Walnuts, it was possible that they would turn bright red with gold markings. It was no wonder that it was fashionable to keep them around in the Divine Wood Federation.

Lin Yuan stored the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts away before he experimented with cutting down one of the Item-Storing Walnut Tree's branches and injecting a large amount of pure spirit qi into it.

Within a few minutes, the broken branch regrew small branches that were covered with lush leaves. As Lin Yuan continued to evolve it, the branch turned into a Normal Item-Storing Walnut Tree. Finally, Lin Yuan evolved it until it reached Bronze/Flawless.

Once the Item-Storing Walnut Tree that Lin Yuan nurtured grew fully, it was also four meters tall. However, the branches were only as thick as Lin Yuan's wrist.

From this, Lin Yuan knew that the Item-Storing Walnut Trees that he used spirit qi to nurture would not be able to replace those that had been growing naturally for over three centuries.

Spirit qi could not be a direct replacement for the effects of living out a lifespan. This was part of the beauty of life.

Lin Yuan stored the Bronze/Flawless Item-Storing Walnut Tree into a fey storage box and thought,?If I want to nurture the Item-Storing Walnut Trees, I'll have to ask the Luo family for one that has been growing for some time!

Lin Yuan checked the time and saw that there was only half an hour left until the agreed-upon time. Hence, he hastily left the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

He saw that Liu Jie and Ji Feng had removed the clothes they were initially wearing in favor of more appropriate clothes for a lavish banquet. Since they were going to attend a banquet, it would be basic etiquette to dress grandly. This was not just a sign of respect for the event but also demonstrated one's class.

During their talks with the Sincere Merchant Group, Lin Yuan and Liu Jie had learned about the gentlemanly behaviors present in the Startling Lines Continent.

Liu Jie was dressed in a purple robe that had a bronze pot embroidered on it. There were hundreds of patterns of insects on the bronze pot.

Ji Feng was wearing a dark blue robe that had waves embroidered on it. There were flood dragons leaping through the waves.

Since Liu Jie and Ji Feng had chosen dark-colored robes, Lin Yuan decided to put on the robe that Wen Yu had specially prepared according to the information she had gathered on the Divine Wood Federation's standard of beauty.

This set of robes was also white. However, the edges of the seams had a circle of fur from the neck of the Diamond Dark Eyed Scorpion Tiger. The contrast between the gentle white and prominent black gave the robes an unspeakable aura of eliteness.

There were also scales from the Dark Eyed Scorpion Tiger on the white robe. At the center of the black scales were moonstones, and the entire design formed the image of a majestic white tiger.

There was also a layer of thin black fur in between the moonstones that seemed to depict tiger stripes.

The top half of the robe showed a roaring tiger, while the bottom half had the embroidered image of 34 types of tigers. They were embroidered with jade-textured ivory, making it difficult to make them out against the backdrop of the white robe.

However, the moon-colored shoes that Lin Yuan slipped his feet into also had pearls made from Spirit-Mouthed Gold embedded into them.

Spirit-Mouthed Gold was an extremely expensive metal spiritual material that could release spirit qi.

The spirit qi released by the Spirit-Mouthed Gold enabled the 34 embroidered images of tigers to shine with a jade-tinted light.

Lin Yuan left the room after he was done changing to meet up with Liu Jie and Ji Feng.

Liu Jie was used to seeing Lin Yuan look like the epitome of beauty. Moreover, Lin Yuan was a once-in-a-generation elite. Although he wore simple clothes normally, his aura could still carry off opulent clothes.

However, Ji Feng did not interact with Lin Yuan on a regular basis and was stupefied when he saw the dressed-up Lin Yuan.

Looking at Lin Yuan now, Ji Feng suddenly thought back to when he was 17 or 18 years old. At that time, he had been a top genius that could hold his head high wherever he went.

But comparing the him of then to the Lin Yuan of now, he still fell short.

A decade of running for his life allowed Ji Feng's understanding of the younger generation in the Radiance Federation to be sparse.

Ji Feng did not know if all the members of the younger generation were as impressive as Lin Yuan or if Lin Yuan was a special case.

While they headed from the treehouse to the Luo family, the eyes of the people on the street lit up when they saw Lin Yuan.

The ordinary citizens of Phoebe Zhennan City never got to see such a god-like person.

Chapter 1399: 270 Pairs

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

However, those onlookers dared not look at Lin Yuan openly.

There was a possibility of making a member of the elite uncomfortable with their brazen looks. This could lead to punishment, and no one wanted to go through that just for looking. Yôur favorite 𝒏ovels at n/𝒐(v)

If not for Lin Yuan's overwhelmingly radiant appearance, these people would have immediately ducked their heads after one glance at him.

Luo Ya had spent a long time carefully dolling herself up in anticipation of tonight's dinner at the Zhang family's residence.

Although she had already applied her most expensive makeup when she went to greet Lin Yuan, she had removed and reapplied the makeup and even drew on a beautiful blue flower pattern on her forehead in order to present the most stunning version of herself.

She smiled in satisfaction when she admired herself in the mirror.

She fetched her favorite purple fur cloak and combed it with a comb. But the longer she spent combing her fur cloak, the more disheartened she became.

Luo Ya thought about the white spirit qi clothes and eye-catching belt that Lin Yuan had worn.

If she wore the purple fur cloak, she would seem like a pauper when she stood next to him. This purple fur cloak was like a silent reminder of the huge gap between her and Lin Yuan.

Luckily, she had changed her mindset once she saw the reality for how it truly was. She no longer focused on her affections for him but thought about how she could remain with him forever instead.

Given Lin Yuan's status and power, he had the authority to effect change in Phoebe Zhennan City.

If Lin Yuan was interested in Phoebe Zhennan City, the Luo family could act as his representative and help him manage his affairs in Phoebe Zhennan City. This way. Luo Ya could maintain a line of contact with him.

Before she could drape the purple fur cloak around her, Luo De said from the entrance of her room, "Little Ya, Lord Lin Yuan is here. Hurry and clean all this up!"

Luo Ya could clearly sense the shock in Luo De's voice. But she dismissed the thought and put on her purple fur cloak before dashing out.

At the moment that she spotted Lin Yuan, her gaze was permanently stuck on him.

This dashing young man dressed in white had an aura and features that outshone everyone else.

Luo Ya instinctively hid her favorite purple fur cloak behind her.

Lin Yuan noticed her reaction and shook his hand. A light purple fur cloak appeared in his hand. He presented it to Luo Ya and said, "This fur cloak is made from the Diamond Purple Plum Leaping Deer. It should be appropriate for you to use it as an overcoat at the banquet. Take it as my way of saying thanks for the two Item-Storing Walnut Trees."

Luo Ya suddenly felt the strange urge to cry.

All she had given Lin Yuan were two Bronze/Normal Item-Storing Walnut Trees. Yet, he was giving her a cloak made from a Diamond fey's fur in return. This showed that he did not want to owe her anything or leave any link between them.

Eventually, she stretched out her hand and received the light purple fur cloak with tears welling in her eyes.

"Thank you. I promised you the two Item-Storing Walnut Trees long ago. You saved my life, so I owe you."

The ache in Luo Ya's heart intensified, yet Luo De was smiling from ear to ear.

They had given out two Bronze/Normal Item-Storing Walnut Trees, yet they received a Diamond fur cloak. This was such a good deal!

From this, Luo De could tell that Lin Yuan was a generous person. Or, it could also be that this Diamond fur cloak was peanuts in his eyes.

As Luo De thought about whether he still had anything else that he could give Lin Yuan so that Lin Yuan would gift him precious resources in return, Lin Yuan said, "You said that the Luo family has a total of 26 Item-Storing Walnut Trees. Are they all around 300 years old? If so, I would like to use this tree to exchange for those trees."

Lin Yuan took out the Bronze X/Flawless Item-Storing Walnut Tree that he had just nurtured.

At first, Luo De was disappointed by the Item-Storing Walnut Tree's thin branches as this meant that the tree could only be five years old at the most. The Item-Storing Walnut Tree would not be able to produce the Item-Storing Walnuts at such a young age. What would be the point of Luo De holding onto it?

However, when he took a closer look, Luo De inhaled sharply, and delight spread across his face.

"Lord Lin Yuan, are you sure you want to trade this Bronze/Flawless Item-Storing Walnut Tree for 26 of our Item-Storing Walnut Trees!?"

The Bronze/Flawless Item-Storing Walnut Tree would be able to produce Bronze/Flawless Item-Storing Walnuts. Only Class 3 Creation Masters would be able to produce the Bronze/Flawless Item-Storing Walnut Trees.

If Lin Yuan used the Bronze/Flawless Item-Storing Walnut Tree to trade for the Luo family's Item-Storing Walnut Trees, the Luo family would hit the jackpot!

After being nurtured for a few years, the Bronze/Flawless Item-Storing Walnut Tree would be able to make the Luo family rich.

Although the Bronze/Flawless Item-Storing Walnut was not as expensive as the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnut, a pair could still go for 3,000,000 Great Lush dollars at an auction.

Luo De was already thinking about how he could release the news that the Luo family had the Bronze/Flawless Item-Storing Walnut Tree. Countless people from Phoebe Zhennan City would do anything to try and order a pair of the Bronze/Flawless Item-Storing Walnuts from him.

Luo De personally went to their back garden and plucked out the 26 Item-Storing Walnut Trees.

When Luo De returned with the 26 Item-Storing Walnut Trees, Lin Yuan noticed that eight of them had already borne fruit.

Lin Yuan left these eight Item-Storing Walnut Trees alone and sent the remaining 18 to the Spirit Lock spatial zone so that Genius could take them to the Spirit Lock spatial zone to be cultivated.

He planned on evolving the eight Item-Storing Walnut Trees to Epic quality. He would then give Genius the first batch of fruits they produced so it could nurture them in the marsh world.

The Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnut Tree that Lin Yuan had evolved had produced 60 Item-Storing Walnuts for him. When added to the fruits produced by these eight Item-Storing Walnut Trees, Lin Yuan would have 540 or 270 pairs of the Item-Storing Walnuts.

Every pair of the Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts could be sold for astronomical prices in the Divine Wood Federation.

The 270 pairs of Item-Storing Walnuts would be enough to last Lin Yuan a long time.

Chapter 1400: Luo Ya's Change

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In less than half an hour, Luo Ya changed into the fur cloak made of the Diamond Purple Plum Leaping Deer's fur and put on purple shoes.

With this new fur cloak, Luo Ya felt as though she had been elevated. After all, it looked as, if not more opulent than the white one that Jian Li wore.

Since Luo Ya and Luo De were leading them, Lin Yuan did not use Blackie. Instead, they rode on the Hurricane Owlet Moths.

The Hurricane Owlet Moths produced wind elements and held him aloft, so it looked as though he was standing on air.

Although Lin Yuan saw this as a modest decision, it was shocking in the eyes of Luo Ya and Luo De. They remained stunned by Lin Yuan and Liu Jie's immense resources the entire journey.

Although the 20 moth-species feys were not Fantasy Breed and could not be compared to the black flood dragon, they were still extraordinary to the Luo Ya and Luo De who lived in Phoebe Zhennan City.

Could this be how the disciples of secret elite families lived? They could change into two extravagant outfits a day and use two types of Diamond feys in a day. This was too luxurious!

Jian Li, Zhang Tong, and the head of the Zhang family had all come out personally to welcome Lin Yuan. The three of them had all put on clothes that they usually saved for important banquets and gatherings.

But now that they were looking at Lin Yuan, Ji Feng, and Liu Jie, they suddenly felt as though they were dressed rather plainly.

This should come as no surprise as they would look homely even if they were next to him in his white daily attire.

The way Lin Yuan and the other two were dressed and how they arrived at the banquet indicated to everyone present that they were true elite guests. 𝒩eew updates 𝒂t n𝒐vel/bi𝒏.com

The head of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhen, had immediately become disappointed in Jian Li when Zhang Tong told him about what Jian Li had done.

Recently, Zhang Zhen had been weighing the costs and benefits of being supported by the Jian family.

From this incident with the Rotting Poison Snake Wyrm, it was clear that the Jian family was unreliable as they were ready to abandon the Zhang family whenever push came to shove.

The Zhang family had wanted the Jian family's support in order to expand themselves. But if the Jian family could not help the Zhang family to the extent that the Zhang family needed them to, there would be no need for the Zhang family to desire the Jian family's support no matter how powerful they were.

Nonetheless, they would still have to keep up appearances by flattering Jian Li, as it would do them no good to be on Jian Li's bad side.

Night descended upon them, and the spirit qi released by the Spirit-Mouthed Gold nourished the 34 embroidered tiger images on his robe.

With every step that he took, he emanated the aura and might of a white tiger.

When Zhang Tong spotted Lin Yuan, he moved to welcome Lin Yuan as the host. However, he was stopped by Jian Li's arm before he could even take the first step.

Jian Li quickly walked up to Lin Yuan and said, "How should I address you? You arrived in Phoebe Zhennan City rather unexpectedly. Your attire would be most impressive even in Sacred Forest City."

Jian Li gave Lin Yuan a thumb's up and beamed brightly. It was clear that he was trying to leave a good impression on Lin Yuan so as to form a link with him.

Lin Yuan's eyebrow twitched. This attire was only considered above average in his wardrobe.

Wen Yu had recently made many clothes for him, and some even had heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls embedded in them. Compared with those clothes, this set seemed ordinary.

It was clear from what Jian Li said that he was trying to butter up Lin Yuan. However, it also allowed Lin Yuan to understand how the elites in Sacred Forest City lived.

Jian Li was #83 in the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence and would not be able to interact with those who were actually standing at the top in the Divine Wood Federation.

Yet, it seemed as though he had seen similar outfits before. This showed that the elite disciples in the Divine Wood Federation chased after opulence.

This was a good thing for Lin Yuan. The more they courted lavishness, the more Lin Yuan's Bronze/Epic Item-Storing Walnuts would be worth.

Lin Yuan did not respond to Jian Li's attempt at being friendly and said, "My last name is Lin."

"Young Master Lin, everything that happened at Phoebe Zhennan Courtyard today was a misunderstanding. I hope you will forgive us. If you are ever in Sacred Forest City, please let me know, and I might be able to offer help in some way," replied Jian Li with a smile.

Jian Li's words exposed his true intentions. He did this because he knew that a person that could be decked out in such a way would not be interested in his small talk and pandering.

If he did not get to the main topic too, he might be seen as irritating.

Jian Li did not reveal his status, but Lin Yuan had already found out about it from Luo Ya.

From Jian Li's words, he had hinted at a mutually beneficial relationship if Lin Yuan and he were to become acquainted. Such alliances were very common amongst the elites in the Divine Wood Federation.

At first, Lin Yuan had been trying to come up with a way to get closer to Jian Li at the banquet. But now, Jian Li had voluntarily reached out to him instead.

"I will be going to Sacred Forest City in the future, and I won't hold back if there's anything you can help with."

Jian Li hurriedly turned and said, "The Zhang family has done a good job with this banquet. I asked them to add a few extra dishes. I hope that they suit your palate!"

Jian Li's gaze landed on Luo Ya. One glance was enough for him to tell that the purple fur cloak she had on was far from ordinary.

The dark purple one she had on before had coarse fur and made her seem inelegant.

But this one reflected the starlight with a soft, light purple glow.

It was evident that his light purple fur cloak came from a Diamond fey.

However, the Luo family couldn't have obtained this on their own because it would have bankrupted them.

Luo Ya had invited Lin Yuan to the Luo family's residence that afternoon, and now she was wearing the Diamond cloak. Hence, there was no question where she had gotten it from.

Jian Li silently noted the Luo family's good luck.

This Diamond fur cloak had to cost at least 1,000,000 Great Lush dollars. Even he, the direct descendant of an important aristocratic family in Sacred Forest City, did not own a fur cloak of such high quality.
