Chapter 1451: The Elemental Paper is Comparable to a Sacred Source Lifeform

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With its evolution from Bronze to Diamond, Dance of Paper, and Paper Crane's Promise's abilities had not changed by much, but their functions had changed significantly.

Previously, Dance of Paper's teleportation effect could be used every five seconds and had a range of three kilometers. But now, it could be used every three seconds and had a range of 20 kilometers.

Dance of Paper was an ability that would allow Wen Yu to flee and change her position. VIssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

Now that Dance of Paper would enable her to move 600 kilometers instead of 360 kilometers every minute, the speed had almost doubled.

This speed would make it easier for Wen Yu to escape from danger.

If she was faced with some powerful enemies who used elemental attacks, three kilometers was too short of a range to leave its range of attacks. However, 20 kilometers was more than enough to dodge the damage.

Besides escaping from danger, Wen Yu would be able to travel 14,400 kilometers in an hour. This was almost as quick as an avian-type Myth Breed fey.

The Elemental Paper's Dance of Paper was the epitome of how a change in quantity could lead to a change in quality.

Paper Crane's Promise could rely on Dance of Paper's abilities.

Lin Yuan felt that Paper Crane's Promise was similar to the Messenger Pigeon's function.

Paper Crane's Promise was better for guarding secrets, but it flew too slowly.

Paper Crane's Promise could fly at ten times the speed of Dance of Paper.

At Bronze grade, Dance of Paper could travel 860 kilometers per hour. This meant that Paper Crane's Promise could fly 8,640 kilometers per hour.

This was very fast. But when it came to delivering information, it would be difficult to ensure that the information was up to date. It was still less effective than a phone call.

But now, Paper Crane's Promise would be able to fly 450,000 kilometers per hour.

With this speed, Wen Yu could send information to even the most remote cities in the Radiance Federation within three hours.

This would enable Wen Yu to deliver information as quickly as Ostrich Logistics.

Paper Crane's Promise would enable any information that Sky City sent out to be kept perfectly secret.

Wen Yu could issue orders to the white-clothed followers from wherever she was in the Radiance Federation.

As for Thoughts Letter Paper, Lin Yuan felt that it was an ability with exceptional strategic significance.

After Lin Yuan left for the Divine Wood Federation, he would be unable to communicate with the Radiance Federation because phone connections could not cross the expansive ocean.

But with Thoughts Letter Paper, Lin Yuan would be able to communicate with the Radiance Federation.

Lin Yuan planned on asking Wen Yu if it was difficult to create Thoughts Letter Paper.

If it was easy, she could create more and give one to every main member of Sky City. This would make it easier for them to communicate with each other in the future.

Thoughts Letter Paper was not only useful for a faction. In special circumstances, Thoughts Letter Paper would also be very useful.

The Moon Empress had once told Lin Yuan about the fight between the various envoys from the federations during the Major Federation Meeting.

During the fight, they would consider the envoy team as a whole instead of just their combat ability.

One of the events would definitely be survival in the wild.

The event allowed every envoy to bring two knights from his federation along with him.

The five envoys from every faction would split up in the wild.

A battle between the elites would soon break out.

In order to prevent oneself from being surrounded and taken out, the best method was to meet up with one's teammates as soon as possible.

Wen Yu's Thoughts Letter Paper would be the perfect bridge for the group.

It could be said that Thoughts Letter Paper guaranteed a spot for Wen Yu amongst the Radiance Knights.

Faceless Paper was a shapeshifting-type ability.

Even if the people that Faceless Paper was protecting ended up being killed, Faceless Paper would not be removed as long as the Elemental Paper was unaffected.

This ability could allow every person to become one person or vice versa.

If Faceless Paper was attached to the faces of every white-clothed follower, they would each gain a thousand faces.

Even the white-clothed followers did not know who each other was.

Many of them had families.

When the white-clothed followers were out on missions, their faces could be noted down by Sky City's enemies and face revenge from these enemies in the future.

With Faceless Paper, the white-clothed followers would not have to worry about their families suffering the consequences of their missions.

Additionally, Faceless Paper would also be useful when protecting important people in extreme situations.

Regular shapeshifting-type feys like the Fantasy Face Worm would automatically remove the shapeshifting state when it was being attacked.

However, this would not be a problem for Faceless Paper.

Paper Flower Funeral was an investigative ability.

Whether the target was hidden, cloned, or affected by elemental factors, Wen Yu could sense the target's location.

If Wen Yu used Paper Flower Funeral on a large scale, she would be able to detect any enemies hiding in the shadows.

This would allow Wen Yu, who was a governance-type spirit qi professional, to become both an investigative- and governance-type spirit qi professional.

Many investigative-type feys were unable to detect targets who were hidden, cloned, or affected by elemental factors.

Paper of Ten Thousand Forms impressed Lin Yuan even more as it provided the Elemental Paper with both protection and camouflage.

While the Floating Island Whale was flying in the sky, Wen Yu could use Paper of Ten Thousand Forms to transform the paper into the sky to separate the Floating Island Whale from the world as well as protect it.

However, the Elemental Paper's defensive abilities could not compete with that of the Floating Island Whale.

This would make Paper Crane's Promise harder to detect and offer it better protection. This would prevent Paper Crane's Promise from being blocked so the information it contained would not be leaked.

Paper of Ten Thousand Forms was not considered to be strong defensively because the Elemental Paper's grade was not high.

If Wen Yu's Elemental Paper reached Immortal, she could use Paper of Ten Thousand Forms to protect an entire city in the Radiance Federation.

If the Elemental Paper was lucky enough to reach Eternal, Paper of Ten Thousand Forms might even be able to protect the entire Radiance Federation.

Chapter 1452: New Movement

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As for Truth Form Paper, Wen Yu could use her soul power to produce paper that could determine if the target was telling the truth.

A person's heart was extremely complex.

Although Truth Form Paper could not read a person's heart, it could tell if the person was lying or telling the truth.

The Elemental Paper had the strongest abilities out of all the source-type items that Lin Yuan had ever come across.

The giant tome closed when Lin Yuan entered.

As the rain of paper continued to dance in the air, the large tome turned into a young girl wearing a light yellow dress.

Wen Yu smiled delightedly when she saw that Lin Yuan was back from the Divine Wood Federation.

She walked up to Lin Yuan and said, "Young Master, you're back!"

Previously, Wen Yu had not missed Lin Yuan so much when he went to the Divine Wood Federation. After all, his trips only lasted around four or five days.

Although he was also only gone for four or five days this time, she had gone to the Radiant Moon Palace to train under Mystic Moon.

As such, Wen Yu had not seen Lin Yuan for two weeks.

Ever since Wen Yu became Lin Yuan's assistant, she had not been separated from him for so long.

No one knew the results of her training better than Wen Yu herself.

Wen Yu still remembered the excited expression on Mystic Moon's face when the Elemental Paper evolved to Silver and gained Thoughts Letter Paper.

Mystic Moon had told her that she could use Thoughts Letter Paper as a shortcut to directly become a member of the Radiance Knights.

There were only five Radiance Envoys chosen for every batch.

The Major Federation Meeting took place once every decade, and the Radiance Envoys were chosen once every decade as well.

The Radiance Knights were the Radiance Envoys' helpers. Every Radiance Envoy had two Radiance Knights assigned to them.

The Radiance Knights were the most outstanding members of the younger generation after the Radiance Envoys.

Every Radiance Knight had what it took to fight to become a Radiance Envoy, and their status was even higher than that of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

When Wen Yu found out that she could become a Radiance Knight, she was not elated by her bright future.

What made her happy was that she had another way to stay by Lin Yuan's side.

She could even fight side by side with Lin Yuan at the Major Federation Meeting, where all the federations from the main world would be in attendance instead of being a mere housekeeper who only took care of behind-the-scenes affairs.

Wen Yu used to be a spirit attendant at the Radiant Moon Palace. She was almost removed from her position when she saved her friend.

She had questioned countless times if she had done the right thing by saving her friend. Wen Yu had decided to push down her kindness into the abyss, and her personality changed.

But eventually, Lin Yuan showed her the answer.

When she first joined Lin Yuan, she had very low self-esteem, albeit she did not show it.

Lin Yuan had chosen her to join him so she could assist him as a Creation Master.

Yet, her Creation Master power remained at pinnacle Class 2.

Mystic Moon had evolved the Earth Rush Golden Lotus to Diamond X/Legend. Follow the latest novels 𝒐𝒏 n𝒐

Wen Yu could use the Earth Rush Golden Lotus to concoct Grade 3 spirit fluids using pinnacle Class 2 Creation Master abilities.

Although such Creation Master abilities at Wen Yu's age would make her a genius and entitle her to build a small city in the Divine Wood Federation, such abilities were not enough to be around someone like Lin Yuan.

But after her transformation of power, Wen Yu could finally kick her past low self-esteem to the curb. Now, she could hold her head up high as she supported Lin Yuan.

When Liu Jie and Lin Yuan saw Wen Yu's smile, they knew her well enough to know that this was a different smile from her usual one.

In the past, her smile had been subdued, and it lacked the genuine joy she was displaying now.

It could not be denied that this Wen Yu was just as beautiful as Su Yiren.

"Wen Yu, has everything been well in the mansion?"

"Young Master, everything has been normal in the mansion. Nothing special happened. However, there have been many posts online discussing your two identities. Tian Ningning has been asking me if these discussions should be managed. Additionally, I met her assistant Su Man. She is very strong at what she does. The only flaw she has is that she is too blunt. She isn't eloquent enough. However, I'm sure you will like this personality of hers," replied Wen Yu.

Lin Yuan nodded.

He was well aware of how intense the discussions were online because the faith power in the shrine in his soul had been skyrocketing.

The biggest beneficiary of this was Dark Blue.

At first, Lin Yuan felt that Dark Blue was the fey that drained the most out of him.

Dark Blue needed every one of the 12 balls of water to comprehend a Willpower Rune in order to evolve to Fantasy Breed.

Lin Yuan did not need to provide the Willpower Runes. Instead, they could absorb the characteristics of strange water. The strength of the faith water within Dark Blue decided the quality of strange water that was needed for the balls of water.

Lin Yuan injected the faith power from the shrine into Dark Blue.

Six out of 12 of the balls of water could absorb strange water and gain Willpower Runes from them.

Lin Yuan was in no rush for Dark Blue to absorb the strange water because he did not have any top-grade strange water.

Once Yin Lin arrived at the Royal Capital a month later, Lin Yuan would be able to use heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls to trade for a large amount of strange water.

It would not be too late to evolve Dark Blue then.

Given the rate of increase of the faith power in the shrine, Dark Blue might even be able to evolve into a Fantasy Breed fey quicker than the Remembrance Soul Whale.

Lin Yuan had not tried to understand Su Man. He had only heard from Tian Ningning how capable Su Man was.

Now that Wen Yu had also given Su Man her stamp of approval, it meant that Su Man was indeed capable.

Wen Yu had high standards and very rarely gave out her stamp of approval.

"Young Master, Connected Beast Park hasn't been idle either. Although they did not publicly reveal their connection to you, they have started targeting a few veteran factions. They want to devour these veteran factions to boost their resources and return Connected Beast Park to its former strength," said Wen Yu.

Lin Yuan's eyebrow twitched.

Chapter 1453: The Sorrowful Mother of Bloodbath

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

During his previous call with Miao Zhenshan, he said that he would nurture more thearch-class experts for the Miao family.

It was natural that the Miao family would be unwilling to continue being the mockery of all the other factions if they managed to gain more thearch-class experts.

Connected Beast Park was desperate to display its might and regain its footing.

As such, the best target would be the veteran factions with no thearch-class experts.

Nonetheless, it would be impossible for them to thrive again.

Veteran thearch-class experts were in a different league from regular thearch-class experts.

The Miao family's seven new thearch-class experts would not be able to defeat Han Tianhe and Liu Yanshan, who had the Sovereign V/Creation IV Earth Core Dragon Snail and the Sovereign VI/Creation V Ghost Arched Demon Beast, respectively.

Liu Yanshan and Han Tianhe could be ambushed by 10 new thearch-class experts and kill all of them while sustaining minimal damage.

Moreover, the Miao family's new thearch-class experts' Creation Breed feys could not function as per expectations given that Lin Yuan had taken their Creation World Ley Lines.

However, this was also a good thing as the veteran factions being targeted by Connected Beast Park could have a chance to survive. They could do their best to come up with a way to save themselves.

The Miao family was not stupid. There was no way they would lay a hand on the veteran factions that had top factions supporting them.

As for the veteran factions that did not have top factions supporting them, they would definitely do what the Sea Bliss Clan had done and seek help from Sky City in order to survive.

This would bring two benefits to Sky City.

Firstly, Sky City would have a legitimate reason to wipe out Connected Beast Park's thearch-class experts and gain their World Crystals.

Secondly, after Sky City saved the veteran factions, the veteran factions would feel indebted to Sky City, and Sky City would be able to gain benefits from these veteran factions in the future.

The trending topics on Star Web had short lifespans. Whenever something new occurred, the old events would be forgotten,

If Connected Beast Park and Sky City faced off again on the dueling ground, the discussions surrounding them would definitely regain some of the popularity it had lost, and the spotlight would once again be pointed on the three-way dispute between the Miao family, Sky City, and the Moon Empress' disciple.

This would enable Lin Yuan to collect large amounts of faith power again.

In his eyes, faith power was the most powerful weapon he possessed that could boost his power. It was very important to him.

Faith power was a necessity for Lin Yuan's future development in the marsh world and the other dimensional worlds. Without faith power, the facade he was putting up as a Dictator would fall through.

"Wen Yu, keep a close eye on the Miao family. If any veteran family member comes to Sky City for help because they're being targeted by Connected Beast Park, take them in. However, they are not allowed to leak the news of us helping them."

Wen Yu replied with a smile, "One veteran faction has already approached Sky City. They visited our Star Web territory numerous times yesterday. I didn't respond to them because I haven't had the chance to talk to you about it. They are called Weaving Little Lute, and their main role is nurturing rare weaving-type spiritual ingredients. They have received rather good reviews. If we save them, they will be a good supplier for the fashion brand that Lu Pinru and I are setting up." Follow the latest novels 𝒐𝒏 n𝒐

"Wen Yu, I'll leave the matter of the veteran factions to you. By the way, is there any new activity with Whale Ocean Commerce?" asked Lin Yuan.

In order to ready himself for the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection that would be taking place one month later, Lin Yuan needed to do everything he could to increase his power.

He intended on being a backseat driver when it came to this matter regarding the factions.

Lin Yuan was more concerned about Whale Ocean Commerce than Connected Beast Park.

Ji Feng fixed his eyes on Wen Yu, and it was clear that he badly wanted to know what Whale Ocean Commerce had been up to of late.

Wen Yu frowned and paused for a moment before she said, "Young Master, I have looked into Whale Ocean Commerce in detail and organized all the information on them that's available in Hidden Moon Palace.

"Although there hasn't been any obvious activity in the last few years, they have been offering very attractive wages to recruit Creation Masters. The recruited Creation Masters all start out by attending some events, and it's clear that they were treated extremely well.

"But slowly, they fall off the radar. The only people from Whale Ocean Commerce who show their faces are the newly recruited Creation Masters. But as I collected information, I could not stop feeling suspicious over what eventually happens to the recruited Creation Masters."

Lin Yuan glanced at Ji Feng and saw that sadness and grief were written all over his face.

Lin Yuan remembered that when Ji Feng told him about what had happened to Sea Sky Nurture, Ji Feng had mentioned that Sea Sky Nurture's Creation Masters had been the first to be captured and killed by Ten Thousand Flags Trading.

A large reason Ji Feng had been able to escape death was that he was not a Creation Master.

From the way that Whale Ocean Commerce dealt with Sea Sky Nurture's Creation Master, it meant that they were in no need of Creation Master resources.

But if this was the case, why were they recruiting Creation Masters now?

After mulling for some time, all the hair on Lin Yuan's body suddenly stood up.

Could Whale Ocean Commerce be using the lives of Creation Masters to achieve some type of goal?

Lin Yuan felt that he needed to take White Speak to Whale Ocean Commerce's residence to investigate them before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection began.

With the aid of faith power, White Speak had attained Eternal power.

Lin Yuan did not believe that Whale Ocean Commerce possessed Eternal combat power. If they did, it would be a huge problem for the Radiance Federation's royalty.

Previously, Lin Yuan wanted to use Connected Beast Park to get to the bottom of Whale Ocean Commerce's operation.

But now, he no longer wanted to wait.

Every single Creation Master in the Radiance Federation, regardless of their class, represented a mountain of wealth.

By taking the lives of Creation Masters to fulfill their personal motive, Whale Ocean Commerce was draining the Radiance Federation's power.

Nonetheless, this was still a guess that Lin Yuan made based on what Wen Yu had dug up. He still needed to visit Whale Ocean Commerce's residence to find out the concrete truth.

At this moment, a thought seemed to strike Wen Yu, and she said, "Young Master, the biggest problem in the mansion now is the Mother of Bloodbath. It has been very downtrodden these few days because of the sacred source lifeform it formed a marrow contract with."

Chapter 1454: The Mother of Bloodbath's Sacred Source Lifeform

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan frowned when he heard what Wen Yu said.

Was the sacred source lifeform unsuitable for the Mother of Bloodbath? If so, I can only let out a sigh of pity for its bad luck.

The sacred source lifeform that Lin Yuan gave the Mother of Bloodbath was the prize he won during the Guard Ye Banquet. He had no idea which dimensional world the sacred source lifeform came from.

However, every sacred source lifeform had various abilities, and none of them were weak.

At this moment, a clear ringing noise could be heard from the stairs, indicating that someone was walking down the stairs.

Lin Yuan looked up and saw that it was the Mother of Bloodbath who was descending the stairs. Nnêw n0vel chapters are published on n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

As a Myth Breed fey, the Mother of Bloodbath easily sensed that Lin Yuan had returned to the mansion. But in spite of the joy it felt at seeing Lin Yuan, it still looked dispirited.

Lin Yuan waved at the Mother of Bloodbath before patting Little Flower and Little Grass' shoulders and saying to Wen Yu, "Wen Yu, Little Flower and Little Grass are the new members of the mansion. Take them to choose their own rooms to turn into their bedrooms. These two have been living together for the entirety of their lives. When choosing their rooms, make sure they aren't too far apart."

Lin Yuan did not tell Wen Yu about Little Flower and Little Grass' circumstances in the presence of the two children. This was out of consideration of their feelings and not to pour salt on their wounds.

He would tell Wen Yu about the two children and the Dark Sun Send Mess Butterflies later in private.

Little Flower and Little Grass could not go to school like Qin Yu. However, they were also of age to receive an education.

Lin Yuan would be placing Master Hong Shen in the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce in Oak City.

A few days later, Endless Summer would also return from Indigo Azure City.

With Endless Summer around, Ji Feng would not have to continue guarding the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce. There would be no one better than Ji Feng to teach these two children.

The two children met Ji Feng at the same time that they met Lin Yuan and Liu Jie. As such, they would not have to be afraid of being around a stranger.

Presently, Qin Yu went to school every day and returned to the Return from Faraway Mansion at night.

Meanwhile, Qin Lun trained by Listen's side.

Qin Yu and Little Flower were about the same age. They were both around five or six years older than Little Grass.

Qin Yu, Little Flower, and Little Grass could become each others' playmates.

Lin Yuan had been afraid that Qin Yu would lose his childlike playfulness if he did not have any friends.

Wen Yu walked up to Little Flower and Little Grass and gently patted the soft hair on their heads.

Lin Yuan had mentioned Wen Yu to them before and told them that she would be making nice new clothes for them. They had both noted down her name.

Thus, when Lin Yuan mentioned her again, they were immediately friendly toward her.

Wen Yu did not know why Lin Yuan had brought two children back with him from the Divine Wood Federation.

But since he said that they were members of the Return from Faraway Mansion, Wen Yu decided to see them as her younger siblings.

Previously, whenever Lin Yuan brought someone back and asked Wen Yu to assign a room for them, she would do so without delay.

But it was obvious that the two children were timid around strangers.

Wen Yu decided to soothe the two children before taking them to pick out their rooms.

She took out two sweets made from the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus' nectar and handed them to Little Flower and Little Grass.

After entrusting Little Flower and Little Grass to Wen Yu, Lin Yuan said to Ji Feng, "Ji Feng, if you're going to form a marrow contract with the sacred source lifeform, you'll have to clear your soul of impurities first. Otherwise, the contraction process might take an unexpected turn. Once we're done with lunch, I'll help you form a marrow contract with the sacred source lifeform."

Ji Feng nodded at Lin Yuan in gratitude.

Wen Yu led Little Flower and Little Grass to the water rhinoceros leather sofa and chatted with them while they ate sweets. It did not take long for her to form a connection with them.

Liu Jie went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. This would serve as a welcome meal for Little Flower and Little Grass. Additionally, Liu Jie had noticed that Lin Yuan's face had slimmed down after their recent exercise away from home. This made Liu Jie feel as though he was failing in his duty as Lin Yuan's retainer. Hence, Liu Jie was determined to fatten Lin Yuan back up.

Lin Yuan walked up the stairs until he reached the Mother of Bloodbath.

When he saw the Mother of Bloodbath's part-happy and part-dejected expression, he said, "Let's go. We can talk about your sacred source lifeform in the training room."

The happiness faded from the Mother of Bloodbath's face and was replaced with guilt.

It clearly remembered that the sacred source lifeform that Lin Yuan had given it was his prize from the Guard Ye Banquet.

Lin Yuan had given it the sacred source lifeform right after it evolved to Myth II.

Although the Mother of Bloodbath had not evolved to Creation Breed, it had awakened its Sky Sundial Jade Spider bloodline and was able to form a marrow contract with a sacred source lifeform like any other Myth III fey.

The Mother of Bloodbath had been full of hope for the sacred source lifeform. Yet, it turned out to be such a strange thing.

The Mother of Bloodbath felt that its abilities could not even compare to that of Lin Yuan's Jasmine Lily.

As such, the Mother of Bloodbath felt that it had disappointed Lin Yuan.

When he saw the Mother of Bloodbath's expression become increasingly sorrowful, he could only try to comfort it by saying, "Mother of Bloodbath, every sacred source lifeform has unique abilities. There isn't any weak sacred source lifeform. Maybe you can find another way to use your sacred source lifeform during combat and create a new system of fighting."

The Mother of Bloodbath could not help but say, "Lin Yuan, my sacred source lifeform's abilities lay in healing. It doesn't gel with my combat style at all."

At this point, Lin Yuan and the Mother of Bloodbath had arrived at the entrance of the training room.

When they stepped in, Lin Yuan said, "Mother of Bloodbath, summon your sacred source lifeform."

Chapter 1455: 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Healing-type sacred source lifeforms might not be able to increase your combat abilities, but it can be your secret weapon that enables you to save your teammates' lives at crucial moments. It isn't a bad choice."

The Mother of Bloodbath hurriedly activated the sacred source lifeform in its soul.

At that moment, all the vitality around the Mother of Bloodbath started to thrash violently.

A stream of warm and refreshing water vapor appeared in front of the Mother of Bloodbath.

A pool around four square meters wide appeared in front of the Mother of Bloodbath. Heat flowed out of the pool.

The mist was so dense that Lin Yuan could not look into the pool.

The pool bubbled continuously and looked just like a hot spring.

The Mother of Bloodbath pointed at the hot spring and said to Lin Yuan, "My sacred source lifeform will only be able to heal someone if they are submerged in the pool. I won't have any chance to use it during combat."

While the Mother of Bloodbath was talking, Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the sacred source lifeform.

[Sacred Source Name: 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring

[Sacred Source Species: Source genus/Sacred Source species

[Sacred Source Star Grade: 1 Star

[Sacred Source Type: Life

Abilities:

[Life Bath: By absorbing the medicinal properties of plant-type feys, the medicinal properties will be combined with the water. In order to absorb the medicinal properties, the plant-type feys have to be complete and full of vitality. The plant-type feys themselves will fuse with the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring. When the plant-type feys fuse with the hot spring, all the medicinal properties will join together to heal the lifeforms bathing in the hot spring.

Lin Yuan could not help but inhale sharply as delight spread across his face.

The Mother of Bloodbath's sacred source lifeform was called the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring. It was life-type, just like the Grace Queen.

The Sacred Sword Wielding Queen was formed from the fusion of the two sacred source lifeforms, the Grace Queen and the Sword of Service.

The 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring was definitely not as useless as the Mother of Bloodbath made it out to be.

Lin Yuan felt that the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring was the most powerful healing-type sacred source lifeform in the world.

The 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring's ability Life Bath could absorb the medicinal properties of any plant-type fey and combine it with the hot spring while the plant-type feys would end up fusing with the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring.

This meant that the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring could use Life Bath to combine all the plant-type feys in the world.

A Class 4 Creation Master could use tens of spiritual ingredients to concoct spirit fluid, while Class 5 Creation Masters could use hundreds or even thousands of spiritual ingredients.

However, humans were intrinsically limited; even Class 5 Creation Masters could not combine an endless number of plant-type feys.

Using the Jasmine Lily as an example, if the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring absorbed the Jasmine Lily, the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring would gain the ability Severed Limbs Growth.

Although Lin Yuan would not allow the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring to absorb the Jasmine Lily, the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring could absorb many plant-type feys similar to the Jasmine Lily's abilities and exclusive skills to strengthen the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring.

If Life Bath could truly combine the medicinal properties of all the plant-type feys in the world, it could even return an almost-dead person to full health as long as the person's body was intact.

Not even the Jasmine Lily's Severed Limbs Growth could achieve this.

Even if the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring did not absorb any plant-type feys with similar abilities to Severed Limbs Growth, the Jasmine Lily could still help the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring achieve such a result.

It might not be useful to heal a dead person's body. Without a soul, a complete body was nothing more than a shell.

However, the Remembrance Soul Whale would be able to work perfectly with the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring.

Although this was just Lin Yuan's hypothesis, it would be easy to test out once the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring absorbed enough medicinal properties.

The Mother of Bloodbath was confused when it saw Lin Yuan's elation. However, it knew that Lin Yuan had his reason for making such an expression.

It also knew that Lin Yuan was not mocking it for contracting a useless sacred source lifeform.

Could the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring have a secret that I haven't uncovered?

Lin Yuan did not summon the Remembrance Soul Whale.

As a fey from legend, the Mother of Bloodbath would not be able to see the Remembrance Soul Whale even if Lin Yuan summoned it.

But this did not stop Lin Yuan from telling Lin Yuan about the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring and Remembrance Soul Whale.

All the sadness was wiped off the Mother of Bloodbath's face when it heard what Lin Yuan said.

Even though the Mother of Bloodbath was a combat-class sacred source lifeform that preferred an assassination style—so the most suitable sacred source lifeform for it would be one that could strengthen its offense—the Mother of Bloodbath would rather benefit everyone from the Return from Faraway Mansion than increase its own power.

The Mother of Bloodbath did not expect the sacred source lifeform it thought of as useless to be compatible with the Remembrance Soul Whale. It could even generate the ability to bring a person back to life.

The Mother of Bloodbath decided to enable the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring to absorb as many medicinal properties as possible to increase its Stars and test Lin Yuan's hypothesis.

"Lin Yuan, the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring has to absorb different kinds of plant-type feys' medicinal properties in order to increase its Stars. Hence, I need a large number of different plant-type feys." 𝒩eew updates 𝒂t n𝒐vel/bi𝒏.com

"This is easy. I just need to let Sun Ningxiang know. When it comes to plant-type feys, no faction in the Radiance Federation can compete with Condense Fairy Orchard. Ask Sun Ningxiang to send you every kind of fey produced in the Radiance Federation. As for the plant-type feys from the Divine Wood Federation, I have struck a deal with a chamber of commerce from the Great Lush Federation. I will ask this chamber of commerce to bring over all the plant-type feys they collect from the Startling Lines Continent. Mother of Bloodbath, your 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring will be able to increase its Stars quickly." said Lin Yuan.

From the Creation Master knowledge gathered by Genius, Lin Yuan knew that any type of plant-type fey could be used as medicine. Even the common Usnea was an important supporting ingredient in Grade 3 spirit fluids.

If even such plant-type feys could be used as medicine, any plant-type fey would be able to be utilized by the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring.

Given Lin Yuan's capabilities, the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring might even be able to reach 10 Stars before Su Yiren's Absolute Love Poppy.

Chapter 1456: Secret of the Hot Spring

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan took out a few Blood Spotted Peach Blossoms out of the amber-button-shaped Diamond fey storage box.

When the flowers were crushed and applied on a wound, they had a blood-clotting effect. If the fruits were crushed, they could cure infected open wounds. It was also effective on elemental damage.

Wen Yu had prepared the Blood Spotted Peach Blossoms for Lin Yuan before he went off to train. However, he also had the Jasmine Blossom, and the Blood Spotted Peach Blossoms were not useful to him, albeit they were considered treasures by adventurers.

The three Blood Spotted Peach Blossoms were one meter tall and had five petals. The large blood spots on the petals made the small pink petals appear even more beautiful.

Fruits were already beginning to grow below the petals. Once the bright flowers wilted, the fruits would grow in size.

Lin Yuan handed the three Blood Spotted Peach Blossoms to the Mother of Bloodbath and said, "Mother of Bloodbath, the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring can absorb the medicinal properties of plant-type feys. Allow it to absorb the Blood Spotted Peach Blossoms first. This will test how much of one plant-type fey the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring needs and how much time it needs to absorb one plant-type fey."

The Mother of Bloodbath hurriedly received the three Blood Spotted Peach Blossoms and tossed one of them into the mist, where the bubbling 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring was.

The mist slowly dissipated when the Blood Spotted Peach Blossom entered the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring.

This allowed Lin Yuan to get a good look at the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring.

Lin Yuan saw a jadeite wall surrounded the four-square-meter 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring. There were also various images of plants carved into the wall.

The bottom of the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring could not be seen, but the bubbling water was as clear as could be.

The deeper the water went, the larger the volume of water there seemed to be.

From the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring's shape, Lin Yuan felt that it was an endless well.

The Blood Spotted Peach Blossom that the Mother of Bloodbath tossed into the water was not boiled into muck by the water.

Instead, the Blood Spotted Peach Blossom seemed to be nourished by the water, and it started to glow faintly.

Soon, verdant green vitality rose around the Blood Spotted Peach Blossom.

A faint red beam of energy shot out from the Blood Spotted Peach Blossom's flower. This was likely the Blood Spotted Peach Blossom's medicinal properties. RE𝒂ad updated st𝒐ries at n/𝒐

After five or six minutes, the Blood Spotted Beach Blossom shrunk and slowly sunk into the hot spring until it suddenly stopped and took root in the jadeite wall.

The Mother of Bloodbath continuously communicated with the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring while it was absorbing the Blood Spotted Peach Blossom's medicinal properties.

When it received its answer, it said, "Lin Yuan, as long as the plant-type fey's grade isn't higher than Silver, the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring will be able to absorb it within six minutes completely. I estimate that it will be able to absorb at least 10 Blood Spotted Peach Blossoms."

Lin Yuan said, "Mother of Bloodbath, continue allowing the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring to absorb the Blood Spotted Peach Blossoms. See what happens to it once it absorbs 10 Blood Spotted Peach Bottoms."

Lin Yuan took seven more Blood Spotted Peach Blossoms out of the Diamond fey storage box, and the Mother of Bloodbath tossed them all into the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring to enable it to absorb the Blood Spotted Peach Blossom's medicinal properties.

The small Blood Spotted Peach Blossom that had taken root in the wall of the pool slowly started to grow leaves.

Once the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring absorbed the sixth Blood Spotted Peach Blossom, several small pink flowers also grew out of the small plant. These pink flowers had many small blood spots on them. It was clear that they came from the Blood Spotted Peach Blossom. The only difference was that the small plant was much smaller than the regular Blood Spotted Peach Blossom.

Although the flowers had sprouted, the Mother of Bloodbath continued to toss the Blood Spotted Peach Blossoms into the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring.

Once the 10th Blood Spotted Peach Blossom entered the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring and had its medicinal properties absorbed, the flowers on the small plant on the wall wilted, and blood-spotted fruits were produced.

The 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring's water started out clear. But now, it was faintly red.

Lin Yuan reached into the water and swirled the water around. He found the water to be full of the same medicinal properties that the Blood Spotted Peach Blossom had.

The 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring took about 50 minutes to absorb 10 Bronze Blood Spotted Peach Blossoms.

According to this speed, it would be easy for the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring to absorb 24 different types of plant-type feys daily as long as they were below Silver grade.

At that moment, it was as though a lightbulb sparked to life above Lin Yuan's head.

The Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls could help spiritual ingredients release their medicinal properties and increase the homogeneity of spiritual ingredients.

Suppose the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring absorbed the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls' medicinal properties. Would it be possible for the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring to absorb the medicinal properties of other plant-type feys at a quicker rate?

Lin Yuan took out 10 Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls and gave them to the Mother of Bloodbath.

The Mother of Bloodbath knew about the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl's abilities, and its eyes lit up when it saw the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls. The Mother of Bloodbath immediately knew what Lin Yuan's intention was.

The Mother of Bloodbath then tossed the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls into the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring.

The light red water slowly took on a golden hue.

Once the small Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl took root in the wall of the pool, Lin Yuan took out 10 Flower Brocade Pearls.

Although the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl was a mutation of the Flower Brocade Pearl, they were still different feys.

The Golden Lotus Brocade Pearl's effects were tens of times stronger than that of the Flower Brocade Pearl. But regardless, the Flower Brocade Pearl still had the effect of enabling spiritual ingredients to release their medicinal properties.

Lin Yuan took out the Flower Brocade Pearls so he could test his hypothesis and enable the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring to absorb medicinal properties better.

Just as he expected, after the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring absorbed the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls, it took a shorter amount of time to absorb the Flower Brocade Pearls. It only took around four minutes instead of six minutes.

Although the increase in speed was not obvious when it was only absorbing one plant-type fey, it meant that the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring could now absorb 36 instead of 24 plant-type feys in a day.

Chapter 1457: Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In a year, the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring would be able to absorb over 4,000 plant-type feys. This was enough to shorten the time that the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring needed to increase its Stars.

Two hours had passed since Lin Yuan and the Mother of Bloodbath had entered the training room.

At that moment, all of the disappointment had been wiped off the Mother of Bloodbath's face.

The Mother of Bloodbath was very excited as it sensed the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring being strengthened.

With Shadow and White Speak around, the Mother of Bloodbath could not be of much help to Lin Yuan during combat even though it had transformed into a Heavenly Family Fey.

But now, the Mother of Bloodbath had found a way to contribute.

With the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring around, the Mother of Bloodbath could act as a safety net for Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan and the Mother of Bloodbath laid out the steps for the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring's increasing of Stars.

The Mother of Bloodbath would give one type of plant-type fey to the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring every 40 minutes so the 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring could increase its Stars at the most efficient rate.

By the time Lin Yuan and the Mother of Bloodbath left the training room, it was time for lunch.

While they were talking down the stairs, Lin Yuan heard a peal of laughter. 𝒩eew updates 𝒂t n𝒐vel/bi𝒏.com

Little Flower and Little Grass had easily assimilated into the Return from Faraway Mansion. Their laughter reminded Lin Yuan of Chu Ci.

Ever since Chu Ci left to train with Cold Moon, she had not returned to the Royal Capital. Two months had already passed.

But in these two months, Lin Yuan and Chu Ci had kept in contact. Besides the time that he was in the Divine Wood Federation, Lin Yuan spoke to Chu Ci on the phone every other day.

Chu Ci would return to the Royal Capital when the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection began, and Lin Yuan would finally be able to see Chu Ci in real life.

Lin Yuan wondered how strong Chu Ci had become as a result of her training.

The Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster that Lin Yuan had prepared for Chu Ci had already reached Bronze X/Legend. All Chu Ci needed to do was form a contract with it.

Once Chu Ci contracted the Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster, his plan 4.0 to turn his sister into an iron bucket would be able to begin officially.

During lunch, everyone looked at the Mother of Bloodbath with curiosity.

They had no idea what happened between Lin Yuan and the Mother of Bloodbath in the training room. The Mother of Bloodbath had gone up with an expression of despondence but came down looking the complete opposite.

Little Flower and Little Grass had only tasted the meat that Liu Jie roasted. Now that they were getting a taste of his true culinary skills, they felt as though they were living in a warm playground.

Little Grass was still young and did not have many complex thoughts.

Little Flower kept her gaze locked on Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, Wen Yu, and the rest during lunch. She knew that these people were the reason she and her brother could live in such bliss.

Wen Yu continuously placed food on Little Flower and Little Grass' plates during the meal. Moreover, it had been long since she last had a meal cooked by Liu Jie. Thus, she ate more than usual.

Liu Jie was also taken aback by Wen Yu's appetite.

Liu Jie was full after about two bowls.

The Mother of Bloodbath was able to consume six bowls because it was a fey. If it wanted to, the Mother of Bloodbath could even devour all the food on the table.

However, Wen Yu could not weigh more than 50 kilograms. How could she eat more than the Mother of Bloodbath? She ate eight full bowls!

Isn't it said on Star Web that women have the appetite of birds? It looks like I'll have to make more food for the Return from Faraway Mansion's meals in the future.

After lunch, Lin Yuan called Ji Feng over and gave him a crystal bottle that contained drops of the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar.

Lin Yuan said, "Ji Feng, drink up the bottle's contents. Once you drink it, all the impurities in your soul will be cleansed. This will make it easier for you to form a marrow contract with the sacred source lifeform."

Ji Feng had drunk the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar Lin Yuan had given him before. He knew that the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar would lose its effects once a person drank a certain amount of it.

It was obvious that the crystal bottle contained Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar.

Why was Lin Yuan asking him to drink more? It was common knowledge that Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar could cleanse the impurities from a person's body. But Ji Feng had never heard of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar being able to cleanse impurities from a soul.

But Ji Feng was so loyal to Lin Yuan that he would even drink poison if Lin Yuan wanted him to do so.

Ji Feng immediately opened the glass bottle and downed the contents.

The strange seed had tortured Ji Feng's soul for a decade. As such, he had developed a strong resistance to pain.

While the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar was cleansing Ji Feng's soul, he gnashed his jaw and fought through the pain.

Once it was over, Ji Feng felt as though his brain was clearer than it had ever been, and reality had been sharpened.

Ji Feng was about to bow to Lin Yuan in thanks when Lin Yuan said to him in amusement, "I just saw the Mother of Bloodbath's sacred source lifeform. I wonder what kind of abilities your sacred source lifeform will have."

When Ji Feng saw how interested Lin Yuan was in his sacred source lifeform, he immediately took out the sacred source lifeform and summoned the Karma Sword Lily.

He instructed the Karma Sword Lily to cut his palm. The cut was so deep that Ji Feng's bone could be seen.

Ji Feng squeezed the ball of rainbow light and started to interact with the sacred source lifeform in his soul.

After some time, a hoarse cry sounded out from the space in front of Ji Feng.

The ball of rainbow light broke open, and a puppet with exceptionally long sleeves appeared in front of Lin Yuan.

The puppet had long hair and was no taller than an inch. It looked elf-like and resembled fairy source-type lifeforms.

However, this puppet did not have wings, and its purple armor had two images of scorpions engraved on it.

The opening of the sleeve glowed purplish-gray.

Lin Yuan immediately used Morbius to check on this puppet sacred source lifeform.

[Sacred Source Name: Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet

[Sacred Source Species: Source genus/Sacred Source species

[Sacred Source Star Grade: 1 Star

[Sacred Source Type: Dark

Abilities:

[Sleeve Bite/Sleeve Attachment: When Sleeve Bite is used, two scorpion claws with disintegrating power will reach out of the sleeve. The disintegrating power can sever any link of energy. When Sleeve Attachment is used, the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet will attach itself to the target and imbue the target's attacks with disintegrating power.

Lin Yuan frowned.

It was true that every sacred source lifeform was unique.

Although the Mother of Bloodbath's 10,000 Medicine Hot Spring was astonishing, Lin Yuan could not declare that it was stronger than the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet.

This was because the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet also had an exceedingly powerful ability.

Ji Feng's Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet was a very special support- and control-type sacred source lifeform that could perfectly defend against abilities that involved energy links.

Chapter 1458: Zong Ze's Call

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Abilities that involved energy links had a wide variety of uses.

For example, Genius' Connected Tails and Wen Yu's Thoughts Letter Paper were both energy link abilities.

Connected Tails used spiritual energy, while Thoughts Letter Paper used mind energy.

When the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet used Sleeve Bite, two scorpion claws with disintegrating power would be produced, and they could sever any energy link.

A link was also formed when Lin Yuan used Faith Application to fuse with Dark Blue to boost White Speak using faith power, and the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet could cut this.

Luckily, Ji Feng was a friend. If he was a foe, Lin Yuan would be in deep trouble.

Many of the support-type feys' abilities were related to energy links. The Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet's ability would enable Ji Feng to perfectly counter most support-type feys.

The Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet could also be said to have a support-type ability in Sleeve Attachment. The Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet could attach itself to a target and imbue every one of the target's attacks with disintegrating power.

This ability could be used on any fey or sacred source lifeform.

This ability might not make a large splash if it was used on a king-class expert's fey. But if it was used on a top expert, like one of the members of royalty's feys, all of the members of royalty might would be imbued with disintegrating power.

Disintegrating power was extremely destructive. When added to the power of a member of royalty, their battle prowess could rise to a whole new level.

No matter what, the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet was outstanding.

The Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet's appearance and ability reminded Lin Yuan of the final ability that the Dark Scorpion had used, as it had also involved disintegration.

It was true that an Apostle's totem ability was linked to the ability of the sacred source lifeform it eventually turned into.

Ji Feng's contraction of the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet made Lin Yuan realize how important it was to visit the Palace of Everything and that no sacred source lifeform could be underestimated.

Lin Yuan saw that Ji Feng was carefully studying the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet, so he asked, "Ji Feng, what kind of spiritual ingredients does the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet need to increase its Stars?"

Ji Feng shook his head with slight distress.

"Young Master, the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet needs dark- and poison-type elemental energy of high purity to raise its Stars."

Lin Yuan's eyebrow twitched.

The disintegrating ability seemed to be formed from a combination of dark- and poison-type energy.

If Ji Feng was still the Young Leader of Whale Ocean Commerce, as he rightfully should be, he would not have to worry about increasing the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet's Stars.

But now that he was Lin Yuan's subordinate, he did not have an income.

Moreover, increasing a sacred source lifeform's Stars was not a simple or quick matter.

Poison-elemental energy was not the problem because there was almost an endless number of poisonous plant-type feys, snake-species feys, and insect-species feys. The sap of poisonous plant-type feys and the venom of snake- and insect-species feys could be collected for the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet to absorb.

Dark-type was not one of the common elements present in nature.

It was also impossible to obtain dark- and light-type energy from elemental pearls.

Dark-type energy of low concentration could be collected from dark-type feys' blood, bones, and skin.

However, dark-type energy of high concentration was a big problem.

To obtain dark-type energy of high concentration, one needed to obtain precious dark-type spiritual ingredients.

Dark-type spiritual ingredients were all very costly.

Ji Feng could not bring himself to tell Lin Yuan that he wanted to go out to earn money for these resources so that he could increase the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet's Stars.

This would cause Ji Feng to lose his position as Lin Yuan's subordinate.

Just as Ji Feng was racking his brain to come up with a way to increase the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet's Stars, Lin Yuan said, "Ji Feng, it looks like I won't have to make extra preparations to help the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet increase its Stars.

"The Cage of Brahma Insects gave me a few Dark Crystal Armored Insects. The shells they shed are full of pure dark-type energy that will be perfect for the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet. I will ask the Cage of Brahma Insects for more of the Dark Crystal Armored Insects until it's enough for the Ring Sleeve Scorpion Puppet's usage.

"The issue of the poison-type energy will be even easier to fix. The Cage of Brahma Insects has bred many poison-type feys. It would be easy to collect the insect-species feys' venom. Later, I'll call Fan Hansheng.

"Ji Feng, your soul must be tired after forming a marrow contract with the sacred source lifeform. You should go and rest.

"Wen Yu's Elemental Paper's Faceless Paper can alter a person's appearance. You can use it from now on. Whenever you go out, you won't have to be wary of being spotted by Whale Ocean Commerce anymore. I will introduce you to Fan Hansheng so you can contact him directly whenever you need insect venom."

Ji Feng felt as though his heart had been set on fire.

He did not expect Lin Yuan to provide him with a sacred source lifeform and help his sacred source lifeform increase its Stars. Not even his deceased family could do as much for him as Lin Yuan was doing.

Ji Feng's thoughts were in a jumble when Lin Yuan's phone suddenly rang.

Lin Yuan looked and saw that the call was coming from Zong Ze.

It just so happened that Lin Yuan had several Diamond fey storage boxes full of Spirit Settling Silver that he wanted to give to Zong Ze.

Lin Yuan picked up the call. But before he could speak, Zong Ze said, "Ah Yuan! Breaking news! The Class 6 abyss dimensional rift will be officially open to the major cities the day after tomorrow. If the factions want to enter the abyssal world, they will have to build a base within their respective city in the abyssal world." 𝒩eew updates 𝒂t n𝒐vel/bi𝒏.com

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

He had heard from Wang Ce that the major cities would be building their representative cities in the dimensional world.

Now, it seemed that the factions were still relegated to their respective cities in the dimensional worlds.

This was clearly because Cicada Song was afraid that the cities would try to form links with the factions, and a fierce battle would break out as a result. This would affect the balance between the cities.

While Lin Yuan was thinking, Zong Ze went on to say, "Are you interested in going into the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift right after it opens to take a look?"

Chapter 1459: Gray Gains a New Ability

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment before he said, "Big Brother Zong, I don't think I'll go into the abyssal world so soon. I want to focus on increasing my power for the next month. Once I'm done with my business, and if there's time left over, I'll go into the abyssal world then."

Zong Ze was slightly disappointed when he heard Lin Yuan's response.

However, Zong Ze knew that Lin Yuan had a lot of pressure resting on his shoulders to perform during the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection due to the envoys from the Freedom Federation who were arriving at the Radiance Federation soon.

"In my eyes, the abyssal world is a huge treasure trove. Before the Radiance Envoy selection, I will be training in the abyssal world."

Although Zong Ze's bad luck and overwhelming battle urge had been suppressed by Lin Yuan's Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds and was slowly healing, his desire to become stronger was still present.

Zong Ze knew that his power could only be increased in one and a half years if he went to the bloody warring zones of the abyssal world to train.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Big Brother Zong, once I'm done with what I need to do, we might still have a chance to train together in the abyssal world. I am already half-done harvesting the Spirit Settling Silver Ores that I told you about. Are you at home now? If so, I will send someone to deliver it to you."

Zong Ze hurriedly replied, "Ah Yuan, I am currently with my Master. You can send someone to deliver it to Kitchen Fragrance Palace. I will be with my Master combining strange flames until the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift opens."

Lin Yuan and Zong Ze chatted for a while before they ended the call.

Lin Yuan was going to send Wen Yu to deliver the Diamond fey storage boxes full of Spirit Settling Silver Ores to Kitchen Fragrance Palace.

He returned to his room to evolve some of the weather-producing plant-type feys that he had traded from the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce so that Gray would be able to increase its power as soon as possible.

Gray had already absorbed clear, cloudy, snowy, and gale weather.

Lin Yuan had traded for the Clear Sunshine Flower, Cloudy Fog Sunflowers, Snow Crystal Orchids, Thunder Clap Chrysanthemums, Hazy Wind Grass, and Rainbow Jade Hibiscus from the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce.

Once Gray absorbed the weather from all these plant-type feys, it would be able to gain two new abilities from the Thunder Clap Chrysanthemums and Rainbow Jade Hibiscus. Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m

Lin Yuan entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone and silently started to work on these plant-type feys.

Gray flew around Lin Yuan as a cloud while occasionally hugging him.

Every fey dreamed of increasing their power, and Gray was no exception. As such, these weather-producing plant-type feys were all very precious to Gray.

Lin Yuan first picked up the Clear Sunshine Flower and started to evolve it until it reached Bronze X/Legend.

He realized that the Clear Sunshine Flower's evolution did not affect its size.

The Clear Sunshine Flower now glowed with a soft light. It was as though the entire Spirit Lock spatial zone was awash in beautiful sunlight.

Previously, Lin Yuan wanted to plant these weather-producing plant-type feys in the marsh world.

But now that he knew their evolution did not affect their size, he decided to set aside a platane wood shelf in the Spirit Lock spatial zone and place the weather-producing plant-type feys there. This would not take up much space.

Once one Clear Sunshine Flower was evolved to Bronze/Legend, Lin Yuan went on to evolve the next one to Bronze/Epic.

He noticed that the weather produced by the Bronze/Legend Clear Sunshine Flower did not differ much from that produced by the Bronze/Legend Clear Sunshine Flower.

Hence, Lin Yuan did not evolve the rest of the Clear Sunshine Flowers, Cloudy Fog Sunflowers, Thunder Clap Chrysanthemums, and Hazy Wind Grass to Bronze/Legend.

He would give the weather-producing plant-type feys to the Hundred Questions Beasts once he was done evolving them.

Now, the only weather-producing plant-type fey that had not been evolved was the Rainbow Jade Hibiscus.

The other weather-producing plant-type feys were common, and the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce would be able to obtain more for him in the future. However, there was only one of the Rainbow Jade Hibiscus.

Thus, Lin Yuan planned on evolving the Rainbow Jade Hibiscus to Bronze/Legend so that they would be in their best state.

Currently, the Normal quality Rainbow Jade Hibiscus looked very plain. The only likable part of its appearance was the rainbow flower buds growing between its leaves.

Lin Yuan injected spirit qi into the Rainbow Jade Hibiscus. The Rainbow Jade Hibiscus' leaves did not change much, but the flower buds grew in size.

Eventually, the Rainbow Jade Hibiscus grew to half the size of Lin Yuan's palm.

As Lin Yuan evolved the Rainbow Jade Hibiscus to Bronze grade, the rainbow flower buds slowly started to bloom until they seemed large enough to wrap around the Rainbow Jade Hibiscus' pot.

While the flowers were blooming, a beautiful rainbow appeared atop the flower.

When the rainbow appeared, all the clear, cloudy, windy, snowy, and stormy weather phenomena were linked and looked exceedingly elegant.

The six types of weather intermixed and turned the Spirit Lock spatial zone into a paradise of nature.

Now that Lin Yuan was done evolving the weather-producing plant-type feys, he looked at Gray, who was clearly eager but hesitant to absorb the weather around them, and said, "Gray, you can absorb all the weather produced by these plant-type feys as you please. These weather-producing plant-type feys will only increase in number. I will try to fill up three platane wood shelves."

Gray leaped into Lin Yuan's arms to embrace him. After snuggling in Lin Yuan's arms for a while, it turned into a cloud and headed toward the platane wood shelf.

Evidently, the weather produced by the 30 Bronze plant-type feys was not enough for Gray.

However, this did not stop Gray from using Jade Contract. Soon, two new gems appeared on its wings.

Lin Yuan immediately used True Data to check on Gray.

He saw that two new abilities had indeed appeared in Gray's data.

Chapter 1460: Fusion of Rainbow Weather

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[Fey Name: Sky Clouded Crane

[Fey Species: Crane/Red Crane

[Fey Grade: Bronze (5/10)

[Fey Type: Nature

[Fey Quality: Elite

Abilities:

[Cloudy Weather: The body will present itself as a cloud and will be compatible with any weather. The body can absorb the weather. Once the weather is absorbed into the cloud, it will become a new ability. No new abilities will come from evolution.

[Radiance of a Clear Day: Omitted

[Darkness of a Cloudy Day: Omitted

[Frozen Snowy Day: Omitted

[Roar of a Windy Day: Omitted

[Judgment of Thunder Weather: An area covered by clouds or that has been transformed into cloudy weather will be branded with a thunder weather imprint. When the thunder hits friendly lifeforms, their ability to cause damage will be increased. When the thunder hits enemies, they will feel numbness and other related negative effects.

[Fusion of Rainbow Weather: Cloudy weather will turn to rainbow weather. The rainbow weather can promote the fusion of other weather phenomena and allow them to coexist.

Exclusive Skill:

[Jade Contract: Condense every type of weather absorbed into a jade. The jade will adorn the feathers. Once the weather turns into a jade decoration, the cloud will no longer carry the aura of that weather. But when the jade decoration is activated, every type of weather will turn into a jade beast.

The two new abilities Gray gained were Judgment of Thunder Weather and Fusion of Rainbow Weather.

Judgment of Thunder Weather was similar to the previous abilities that Gray had. It also changed an area's weather and benefited friends while limiting foes.

Judgment of Thunder Weather could cause numbness and other negative effects. This meant that it was considered a strong control- and offense-type ability.

Compared to the other abilities, Fusion of Rainbow Weather was much more special. It could not suppress enemies or help friends. Yet, it could combine weather and enable different weather phenomena to coexist.

Lin Yuan and Gray had done a test and discovered that Gray could not use Radiance of a Clear Day and Darkness of a Cloudy Day at the same time.

If Gray could use both simultaneously, the two abilities would limit each other.

Since Fusion of Rainbow Weather could enable the different weather phenomena to coexist, Lin Yuan instructed, "Gray, use Radiance of a Clear Day, Darkness of a Cloudy Day, and Fusion of Rainbow Weather at the same time on the area above me. Try to combine Radiance of a Clear Day and Darkness of a Cloudy Day."

Gray flapped its wings, and the clouds gathered together atop Lin Yuan's head.

Soon, Gray used Radiance of a Clear Day.

Lin Yuan immediately felt as though he was bathing in sunlight.

But when Gray used Darkness of a Cloudy Day, a portion of the clouds turned dark gray, and half of the sunlight was dimmed.

While the two weather phenomena were suppressing each other, a rainbow cut through. The rainbow acted as a bridge that walled off the darkness and sunlight separately, so they were no longer trying to subsume each other.

This combined the two weather phenomena within the same area.

It was a wondrous feeling to enjoy both weather phenomena in the same area.

Through his connection with Gray, Lin Yuan found out that using Fusion of Rainbow Weather would put a strain on Gray's spirit qi.

Gray would only be able to use each individual weather for an hour. But now that Gray was using Fusion of Rainbow Weather as well, Gray would only be able to sustain the weather phenomena for half an hour.

Now that Lin Yuan learned this, he decided to continue testing Gray to see if Fusion of Rainbow Weather could combine Roar of a Windy Day, Frozen Snowy Day, and Judgment of Thunder Weather with the other weather phenomena above his head.

Gray let out a cry. Findd new 𝒔tories on nov/e(l)

Soon, a storm of snow and lightning appeared in the cloudy section of weather, while strong winds appeared in the clear section of weather above Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan thought,?It looks like the combination of the other?weather phenomena?adds to the clear and cloudy weather. In the space above my head, Gray is able to use light, darkness, wind, ice, and thunder to help me while suppressing my enemies.

However, Gray could only use Fusion of Rainbow Weather to combine the five weather phenomena for five minutes.

Nonetheless, this was already astonishing enough.

Gray was only Bronze V/Elite. Once it evolved, it would be able to use its abilities for extended periods of time.

Moreover, there were more than these five types of weather in existence.

In his previous conversation with Li Wan, she told him that she would be able to find other types of weather-producing feys for him.

The more types of weather-producing feys Gray absorbed, the stronger it would become at helping friends while weakening foes.

If Gray evolved to Myth Breed, Lin Yuan felt that Gray's protection would be enough to prevent experts from getting close to the Floating Island Whale. Even if it were spotted, the experts would immediately fall into the trap of burning, blinding, slowing down, freezing, numbness, and other negative elemental effects.

Lin Yuan said, "Gray, two more gems have appeared on your body. Let me see the two new jade beasts formed from the thunder and rainbow weather.

When using Jade Contract, representative accessories of the weather absorbed by Gray would appear on its body.

A sun-shaped yellow jade represented Radiance of a Clear Day. Gray could summon a blazing bird from it.

A moon-shaped purple crystal represented Darkness of a Cloudy Day. Gray could summon a purple-striped deer from it.

A snowflake-shaped blue gem represented Frozen Snowy Day. Gray could summon a crystal-covered turtle from it.

Chapter 1461: Shocking Elemental Explosion

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A shapeless white jade represented Roar of a Windy Day. Gray could summon a wind-covered horse from it.

At that moment, a yellow snake-species fey with thunder crackling all around it appeared on Gray.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to ask Gray why it was not summoning the jade beast, Gray said in a childlike voice, "Yuan, replenish some of my spirit qi. Otherwise, I won't be able to activate the rainbow weather gem."

Lin Yuan found this strange.

Although Gray had used up a significant amount of spirit qi to fuse the abilities, only a minute had passed. As such, Gray should still have at least 4/5 of its spirit qi left. Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m

Gray also did not require a lot of spirit qi to summon the snake-species fey.

Could it be that the rainbow weather's elemental lifeform was special?

Lin Yuan lifted his hand and used Spirit Injection on Gray. Soon after, Gray was brimming with spirit qi again.

After Lin Yuan used Spirit Injection on Gray, it should continuously slow down the decrease in Gray's spirit qi for two hours.

Now that it was full of spirit qi again, Gray let out another cry and summoned all the jade beasts.

Gray's body was ensconced in rainbow light, and the five jade beasts fused together to form a colorful crane.

Lin Yuan's eyebrow twitched when he saw the crane because it looked exactly the same as Gray when it used Cloud Morph.

At first, Lin Yuan assumed that Gray was just a support- and control-type Heavenly Family Fey.

But now, it seemed that this was not the case.

The crane that was formed from a combination of five jade beasts was full of five types of elemental energy and had very strong attacking potential.

Lin Yuan decided to test this power.

He waved over the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope and said, "Wind Speed Rapid Antelope, try and receive one of Gray's attacks. See if it is able to push you back a step."

The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was a Gold X/Legend fey.

Lin Yuan had been feeding wind-elemental pearls to the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope to set up a strong foundation for it.

In the time that the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope had been consuming the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearl powder, its fur had changed from khaki to white while its horns were also starting to grow out again. Evidently, its bloodline had mutated.

The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was only one step away from reaching Gold/Fantasy.

The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope did not immediately attack the crane that Gray summoned. Instead, it tilted its head and weaved layers of wind.

Gray and the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope were friends and spent a lot of time playing together.

Gray knew that the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope was trying to get it to attack. Hence, Gray ordered the crane to attack the wall of wind.

The crane spat out rainbow light at the net of wind.

When Lin Yuan sensed Gray's attack, he frowned, and alarm bells rang in his head.

He hurriedly shook his hand, and the Source Sand appeared.

A large amount of Close Guard Sand blocked the rainbow light. The sand wall violently exploded.

Although the explosion did not break through the sand wall and endanger the net of wind, it still formed an obvious divot.

The Source Sand was a Diamond/Fantasy elemental source-type lifeform.

Lin Yuan did not do this because Gray's attack was powerful. But because the five types of elements in the tangled rainbow weather would repel each other and lead to an explosion. It was considered an elemental explosive ability.

Even if the explosion landed on the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope, it would not die. But it would still be heavily injured.

Lin Yuan had nurtured the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope for so long, and it also managed the Spirit Lock spatial zone. He could not bear to see it become injured.

The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope and Gray were completely ignorant of the situation.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan had been completely floored from the point of silence to the moment he sensed the power of the explosion.

Was this the power of a Heavenly Family Fey? Despite only being Bronze grade, it was able to produce more power than Gold grade.

Although this attack's strength came from the explosion of elements, Gray would be able to produce stronger explosions as it absorbed more and a higher concentration of weather.

By the time Gray reached Myth Breed, it would be as powerful as a Creation Breed fey.

Lin Yuan left the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

After dinner, he logged into Star Web.

The news about the abyss dimensional rift's opening had not yet broken out on Star Web. All the discussions still surrounded Sky City and the Moon Empress' disciple.

But once the news about the abyss dimensional rift was released, it would take over the center of attention on Star Web because it represented a new chapter for the Radiance Federation.

Lin Yuan had not logged onto Star Web as Black for some time.

Ever since his virtual image joined the Celestial Stairway's Hall of Fame, he no longer needed to fight on the Celestial Stairway monthly to maintain his star rating.

As such, Black's influence on Star Web was diminishing.

Although the fan club and posts were still available, they were not as active as they were in the past.

Lin Yuan did not log into Star Web as Black this time, either. Instead, he logged in as himself.

He had been so busy that he had not logged onto Star Web as himself for some time as well. As a result, he had many unread messages.

This account was public. He had only ten people on his friend list.

Yet, it turned out that one of the people on his friend list had sent him more than 20 messages.

Lin Yuan was not surprised by this.

People who truly needed to seek him out had their own ways of reaching him. They did not need to use Star Web to contact him at all.

Lin Yuan saw that the person looking for him was a familiar face, Zhou Jiaxin.

Chapter 1462: Zhou Jiaxin and Elder Ning in Trouble

Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhou Jiaxin: Are you there? I want to talk to you about the store. The matter is quite urgent. If you have time, I would really like to seek your opinion.

…

Zhou Jiaxin: I won't think I'll be able to continue managing the store. The store had earned 2,400,000 Radiance dollars, and I sent you 750,000 as per your ownership shares. Thank you for looking after me all this time. As for the goods you provided that haven't been sold off, I will deliver them to the address you gave me through Ostrich Logistics once I've moved out of the store.

Zhou Jiaxin had sent the first message nine days ago and the newest one an hour ago.

From her messages, Lin Yuan was certain that she was in relatively deep trouble. The Zhou Jiaxin he knew would never let the shop go. Lin Yuan had made his first purchase on Star Web from her store.

She had been very kind to him. Without her special attention, he would have missed out on the Wind Speed Rapid Antelope, Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia, and Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus.

The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope had become the Spirit Lock spatial zone's manager, the Cinnabar Osmanthus Haworthia had attracted the Fortuitous Fortune-Carrying Swallow, and the fruits produced by the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus had increased his spiritual energy.

Many of Lin Yuan's opportunities were a result of Zhou Jiaxin's help. As such, he had been helping her in return by providing her with goods.

A few months ago, her Class 3 store had been promoted to Class 5.

Additionally, due to the high quality of spiritual ingredients and feys that she sold, her store was famous even amongst Class 5 stores.

Zhou Jiaxin had shared updates about the store with the Purchase With No Loss store's fan club.

The Purchase With No Loss store's fan club was mostly comprised of bigshots, many of whom were Creation Masters.

Moreover, there were members of factions who visited the store every night at 8:00 p.m. to wait for the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

Hence, Zhou Jiaxin and the other members who had joined the fan club early by buying the Usneas had less and less authority in the group.

Buddha-tempered person and Violent-tempered woman had not spoken in the fan club for some time.

However, it was said that Violent-tempered woman was now working in Zhou Jiaxin's store and had even bought some of the store's ownership shares.

Lin Yuan was also a shareholder of Zhou Jiaxin's store. However, he possessed more shares than Violent-tempered woman.

From the messages that Zhou Jiaxin had sent, Lin Yuan should have earned 720,000 Radiance dollars out of the 2,400,000 Radiance dollars that Zhou Jiaxin's store earned. Evidently, Zhou Jiaxin had given him an additional 30,000 Radiance dollars to express her gratitude.

Even 3,000,000 Radiance dollars was insignificant to him.

Lin Yuan only needed around eight minutes to evolve a fey to Bronze/Epic. He could earn 3,000,000 Radiance dollars after working in the Spirit Lock spatial zone for 48 seconds.

However, to Zhou Jiaxin, who had only earned less than 200,000 Radiance dollars, even 3,000 Radiance dollars was a large sum.

Lin Yuan would have ignored this if it was coming from anyone else.

However, Zhou Jiaxin was one of the first people he met when he transmigrated.

He would definitely help her.

Since she was only going to leave the store two days later, he decided to pay the store a visit to understand the situation and understand what kind of trouble she was in that forced her to give up her dream of running her store.

Besides Zhou Jiaxin, Elder Ning had also sent Lin Yuan a message.

Elder Ning was the one who had given Lin Yuan his Star Web Card. He had added Lin Yuan to his friend list when he gave Lin Yuan the Star Web Card.

Lin Yuan had been chosen by the City Lord of Redbud City and found his way to the Moon Empress because of the news that Elder Ning had released. Thus, Elder Ning was aware that Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress' disciple.

Ning Yanting: Young Lord, I would like to ask for your help to take a look at the Spiral-Toothed Shark. I want to awaken its megalodon bloodline. However, there was an issue while I was concocting the spirit fluid, and it caused an anomaly with the Spiral-Toothed Shark's bloodline. I urgently require the essence blood of main-dragon-species feys to evolve the Spiral-Toothed Shark's bloodline. This is the only way to salvage its life.

Elder Ning had sent this message three days ago.

Lin Yuan could not help but wonder if he was too late.

He anxiously left Star Web and picked up his phone to call Elder Ning.

Elder Ning picked up the call after a few rings.

Lin Yuan quickly said, "Elder Ning, I just saw the message you sent me on Star Web. I do have the essence blood of main-dragon-species feys, and I'll send it to you through Ostrich Logistics immediately. I hope the Spiral-Toothed Shark isn't in danger because of my three-day delay."

Ning Yanting had exhausted himself trying to source the essence blood of main-dragon-species feys.

Ever since he became a Class 4 Creation Master, he had been trying to help the Spiral-Toothed Shark to awaken its megalodon bloodline. This ambition had cost him countless resources and left him penniless.

Ning Yanting thought that that ingredient would be the key to unlocking the Spiral-Toothed Shark's megalodon bloodline. However, he was sorely disappointed.

The best way to save the Spiral-Toothed Shark would be to help it gain a new bloodline. However, this was the last thing that Ning Yanting wanted.

If he was going to go down this road, he could have evolved the Spiral-Toothed Shark into the Spiral-Toothed Dragon Teeth Shark.

Ning Yanting was able to obtain most of the spiritual ingredients. However, the essence blood of main-dragon-species feys was beyond his reach.

If he only needed blood, he could ask for a few drops from experts that possessed main-dragon-species feys.

Since he did not have any resources, he could just owe Lin Yuan a favor that he would slowly return in the future.

However, essence blood was the essence of main-dragon-species feys. The higher their grade was, the less essence blood they produced.

A main-dragon-species fey could only produce five to six drops of essence blood.

Ning Yanting could not bear to see the fey he contracted die because of his stubbornness. Hence, he had turned to Lin Yuan.

Chapter 1463: Scheming

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Only Lin Yuan, the Moon Empress' disciple, could obtain a precious item like the essence blood of a main-dragon-species fey.

Ning Yanting's face had been flushed with embarrassment when he typed out the message asking Lin Yuan for help.

However, Lin Yuan did not reply to his message even after three days had passed. This left Ning Yanting feeling rather bitter.

Just as Ning Yanting was about to resign himself to his fate, he received Lin Yuan's call telling him that he could solve his problem.

Ning Yanting was speechless. He had no idea what he should say as thanks seemed too superficial.

Nonetheless, Ning Yanting could not afford the essence blood of main-dragon-species feys.

Lin Yuan sensed Ning Yanting's conflict and said, "Elder Ning, feel free to let me know if you have any other needs. Coincidentally, I need your help with something."

When Ning Yanting heard how Lin Yuan addressed him, he felt as though he could see the young man furiously scribbling away during his exam. Although that young man was now the Moon Empress' disciple, he was still as humble as he had always been.

"Young Lord, please let me know if you need me to do anything."

When Lin Yuan entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Chimey had urged him to start the Warm Sun Fund soon.

Previously, Lin Yuan and Sun Ningxiang had discussed how the Warm Sun Fund should be carried out.

Besides the time it spent increasing its power in the hopes of holding a fan meeting soon, Chimey spent all of its time live-streaming to garner funds for the Warm Sun Fund.

Lin Yuan could not disappoint Chimey.

He had come from the less prosperous Xia Region in Redbud City. As such, no one knew about the environment there better than him.

Thus, Lin Yuan planned on starting the Warm Sun Fund in Xia Region before spreading its influence to the rest of Redbud City and eventually the entire Radiance Federation.

In order to ensure that the Warm Sun Fund operated smoothly, a person with a ministerial background like Elder Ning was necessary.

After telling Elder Ning about his intention, Lin Yuan hung up.

He drained one drop of essence blood from the main-dragon-species fey organs and sent it to Elder Ning.

Ning Yanting was burning with excitement and motivation.

This young man had not even left the Xia Region for a year, yet he was already thinking of a way to help his hometown.

How could such a pure-hearted person exist? If he was doing all this for his hometown, imagine what he could do for the entire Radiance Federation?

Ning Yanting had always felt that Lin Yuan had enough Creation Master talent to be considered a genius that created a new record for the Creation Master exam.

But now, Ning Yanting felt that Lin Yuan's character was even more brilliant than his Creation Master talent. His character far exceeded being described as noble because he also wanted to help others.

Lin Yuan logged into Star Web and visited Zhou Jiaxin's store.

When he arrived, he saw that the store was having a sale. Many customers in the store were fighting to buy up the spiritual ingredients.

Most of the Spirit-Siphon Goldfish in the pool had already been sold.

Currently, Violent-tempered woman and five other employees were present in the store beside Zhou Jiaxin. All seven of them were frazzled with all the work they had to do.

Lin Yuan walked up to Zhou Jiaxin, who was introducing a spiritual ingredient to a customer, and said, "Big Sister Xin, I missed the Star Web messages you sent me. But once I saw them, I immediately rushed here."

Zhou Jiaxin froze when she heard this familiar voice and whipped around in shock.

Once she was certain that the voice had come from Lin Yuan, Zhou Jiaxin apologized to the customer before asking an employee to take over the introduction.

She walked over to Lin Yuan and said with a smile, "You sure have grown in the few months since I last saw you!"

Lin Yuan had indeed grown from 177 centimeters to 180 centimeters, and his physique had also filled out significantly.

Lin Yuan could tell that Zhou Jiaxin was trying to hide her sadness and asked, "Big Sister Xin, your Class 5 store is doing well. Why are you closing it all of a sudden?"

Zhou Jiaxin sighed and replied, "You're a major shareholder of the store, so I wanted to ask your opinion first. However, the three Class 2 Creation Masters that the store employed are no longer willing to work for us. An old rising faction has been pressuring me to turn my store into one of their chain stores so they can take over the management."

Lin Yuan finally understood the situation. An old rising faction was targeting Zhou Jiaxin.

If the rising faction chose to use underhanded methods, Zhou Jiaxin would be helpless against them. This was the reason many Class 5 stores needed to gain the support of factions.

However, Class 2 Creation Masters were not considered important people in a rising faction.

Zhou Jiaxin had also treated the three Class 2 Creation Masters very well, and there was no reason for them to succumb to the rising faction's threats to stop working for Zhou Jiaxin. Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m

Since Lin Yuan was confused, he asked Zhou Jiaxin, "Big Sister Xin, did the rising faction force the three Class 2 Creation Masters to leave?"

Zhou Jiaxin hurriedly shook her head and replied, "This rising faction has had its eye on our store for a long time. They did not make their move in the past on account of the three Class 2 Creation Masters' pride.

"However, Whale Ocean Commerce is holding a large-scale recruitment of Creation Masters, regardless of their class or experience. They claim that they want to test the Creation Masters. Whale Ocean Commerce will nurture the Creation Masters who join. This news was the reason the three Class 2 Creation Masters chose to leave."

At first, Lin Yuan had only wanted to do a small favor for Zhou Jiaxin. But he did not expect to learn such a piece of news from her.

Whale Ocean Commerce again! Creation Masters again!

Lin Yuan had found out from Ji Feng that Whale Ocean Commerce was not hiring Creation Masters for their abilities but for their actual selves.

Whale Ocean Commerce's offer would draw countless Creation Masters to them.

If these Creation Masters all ended up secretly killed by Whale Ocean Commerce, the Radiance Federation's Creation Master potential would be halted.

However, there was something that Lin Yuan did not understand.

Even if Whale Ocean Commerce was daring enough to use the Creation Masters' bodies to commit crimes, they would not be able to escape the long arm of the members of royalty once their deed was discovered.

Previously, Lin Yuan planned on taking White Speak to Whale Ocean Commerce's residence one night to conduct an investigation. However, there was no guarantee that they would be able to escape detection by Whale Ocean Commerce's experts or even find anything useful.

Chapter 1464: Lin Yuan's Capability!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Even if Lin Yuan was able to escape detection by Whale Ocean Commerce's experts, it would be difficult for him to find out what Whale Ocean Commerce's scheme was from one secret visit.

However, it would be a good opportunity for Wen Yu to use Faceless Paper on him so he could sneak into Whale Ocean Commerce's recruitment as a Class 2 Creation Master.

He would then be able to find out Whale Ocean Commerce's scheme.

Lin Yuan said, "Big Sister Xin, I have a way for you to continue running this Class 5 store should you wish to do so. I can put you in contact with Condense Fairy Orchard so you'll be able to work with them in the future. This way, the rising faction won't dare to lay a hand on your store."

Lin Yuan paused for a moment before adding, "Big Sister Xin, I am very interested in Whale Ocean Commerce's offer. Do you happen to know any details?"

Wen Yu had already told him all that Zhou Jiaxin had just told him about Whale Ocean Commerce.

Wen Yu had agreed to keep watch over Whale Ocean Commerce. Hence, she would definitely tell him anything that she knew about the matter.

The only reason she had not told him would be that she was unaware of it. This was not surprising because Sky City currently did not have an intelligence department.

All the information that Wen Yu had came from the Hidden Moon Pavilion.

The information in the Hidden Moon Pavilion was not updated daily but whenever they received a new report.

Lin Yuan understood that he needed to set up his own information channels.

A top faction openly recruiting and testing Creation Masters was not an event that was unheard of. Thus, this matter did not warrant attention from the Hidden Moon Palace.

But ever since Lin Yuan found out about Ten Thousand Flags Trading's true colors from Ji Feng, he was certain that Whale Ocean Commerce's recruitment of Creation Masters, regardless of their class, indicated that they were about to take a huge step.

Zhou Jiaxin's face lit up with joy, but she was also shocked.

When she first met Lin Yuan, she thought that he was just another bright young man.

The way he only used Federation dollars to purchase items showed that he was very frugal. Given that he even bought ores of inferior quality, Zhou Jiaxin assumed Lin Yuan was not in a favorable financial situation.

Yet, after a small span of time, Lin Yuan was spending Radiance dollars at her store and even started his own Star Web store.

In order to show her support for Lin Yuan, Zhou Jiaxin had even gone to visit his Star Web store.

However, she did not expect to find him selling Bronze Usneas that were snatched off the shelves the moment they were put up there.

Eventually, Zhou Jiaxin ended up joining the fight for the Usneas.

Ever since then, Zhou Jiaxin became sure that Lin Yuan had the support of a Creation Master.

Later, Lin Yuan even became a shareholder of her store and provided her with Silver Usneas at regular intervals.

This made Zhou Jiaxin even more certain that Lin Yuan had a Creation Master supporting him.

However, the changes that involved Lin Yuan later confused Zhou Jiaxin.

Suddenly, many bigshots streamed into the Purchase With No Loss store's fan club, and Lin Yuan even started auctioning off the Flower Brocade Pearls in the group.

The elder Creation Masters were all eager to snatch up the Flower Brocade Pearls.

The Flower Brocade Pearls could sell for hundreds of thousands of Radiance dollars at the Rare Lifeform Pavilion. Yet, Lin Yuan could sell tens or even hundreds of them at his store.

Lin Yuan had become the lucky audience member at the Allstar Match who managed to defeat Meng Xu of the Savage Snake Guild Club.

At that point, Zhou Jiaxin finally knew that the young man she saw as her younger brother was an undeniable genius.

As a result, Zhou Jiaxin did not contact Lin Yuan again.

More time passed, and the Purchase With No Loss store started to auction off heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

The Flower Brocade Pearls were already beyond Zhou Jiaxin's reach. Thus, she had no concept of what the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were. After all, the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls did not even appear at the Rare Lifeform Pavilion. They were also too valuable to appear at private auctions that were below emperor-class.

Although Zhou Jiaxin knew that the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls were precious, this did not give Zhou Jiaxin a better idea of how deep the well that was Lin Yuan ran.

At that moment, Zhou Jiaxin realized that Lin Yuan could link a small Class 5 store to a top faction with one mere statement.

Was such capability possible?

If my store truly ends up gaining the protection of Condense Fairy Orchard, the rising faction will definitely flee far away and never dare to even think of targeting my store again. Rather, they will have to be worried about my revenge.

Zhou Jiaxin was delighted because this meant that the store she poured her blood, sweat, and tears into would be saved.

However, Zhou Jiaxin did not have a decent answer to Lin Yuan's question.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she said, "One of the Class 2 Creation Masters should be coming later to settle his wages. Once he arrives, we can just ask him about it."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Since Zhou Jiaxin's store was having a sale, there were even more customers than usual. Violent-tempered woman and the other five employees were overwhelmed with work.

Lin Yuan had experience running his own store and attending to customers. He helped Zhou Jiaxin to see to a few customers while they were waiting for the Class 2 Creation Master.

The Class 2 Creation Master arrived at Zhou Jiaxin's store a while later.

He had an arrogant attitude but was friendly toward Zhou Jiaxin. Clearly, he was on good terms with her.

Zhou Jiaxin patted Lin Yuan's shoulder and said to the Class 2 Creation Master, "Lord Fei, my brother… Partner would like to ask you about Whale Ocean Commerce's recruiting and testing of Creation Masters."

The Class 2 Creation Master glanced at Lin Yuan out of the corner of his eye before he said,

"Whale Ocean Commerce is recruiting Creation Masters. Why would someone who isn't a Creation Master want to learn about this matter?"

Zhou Jiaxin smiled awkwardly and shot Lin Yuan an apologetic look.

Although Zhou Jiaxin was the owner of a Class 5 Star Web store, her status was below that of a Class 2 Creation Master. She even had to address him as 'Lord'. Thus, she could not force him to speak if he was unwilling.

Chapter 1465: You Need to Register Early

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan took a step forward and said, "I also happen to be a Class 2 Creation Master who wants to understand Whale Ocean Commerce's test."

A look of shock flashed across the Class 2 Creation Master's face.

Fei Yu had never heard of a person becoming a Class 2 Creation Master at such a young age.

However, it was a major crime to impersonate a role that was not one's own. As such, no one would dare to do so. Moreover, Zhou Jiaxin was standing right here. There was no way that the young man would dare to lie so blatantly.

Hence, Fei Yu changed his attitude to one of friendliness toward Lin Yuan.

Although Fei Yu was also a Class 2 Creation Master, he was willing to socialize with a young Class 2 Creation Master like Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan could become a Class 3 Creation Master soon, and it would not be disadvantageous for Fei Yu to be acquainted with him.

Fei Yu hurriedly told Lin Yuan about Whale Ocean Commerce's recruitment and testing.

"Friend, you must register quickly if you want to participate in Whale Ocean Commerce's test. The cut-off time for the registration is tomorrow morning. It will be too late if you don't register today!"

Lin Yuan's expression shifted, and he said, "Friend, do you know what kind of a test it will be?" RE𝒂ad updated st𝒐ries at n/𝒐

Fei Yu was stunned by Lin Yuan's question. He was also unsure what kind of test Whale Ocean Commerce would administer.

Normally, a faction that was recruiting and testing Creation Masters would ask for the Creation Master's class. However, Whale Ocean Commerce did not set a hurdle for the Creation Masters' class. They took in all Creation Masters regardless of their class.

Since Fei Yu did not have an answer to Lin Yuan's question, he changed the topic and said, "Friend, have you heard of Sea Sky Nurture?"

Lin Yuan frowned and nodded with his eyes fixed on Fei Yu.

Fei Yu did not notice the change in Lin Yuan's gaze and went on to say, "Apparently, those who perform well during the test will have a chance to become a disciple of one of Sea Sky Nurture's pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters. This is a great opportunity! This benefit is the reason I decided to give it a try."

Fei Yu sighed and continued. "Otherwise, I would have continued living a carefree life working in Miss Zhou's store."

Lin Yuan was now certain that Whale Ocean Commerce was up to no good.

All of Sea Sky Nurture's Creation Masters had been killed by Ten Thousand Flags Trading. How could the dead take in disciples?

While Lin Yuan was thinking, Fei Yu finished settling his wages with Zhou Jiaxin.

Before he left, Fei Yu mumbled to himself, "It's almost time for the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. Will I be able to make it in time to spectate the selection if I participate in Whale Ocean Commerce's test?"

Suddenly, it all became clear to Lin Yuan.

He had been wondering how Whale Ocean Commerce could continue being so blatant in their actions if they were killing Creation Masters.

But now, he figured it out.

Whale Ocean Commerce revealed the news that they had two Immortal experts and declared that their Young Leader intended on fighting for a spot to become a Radiance Envoy. Clearly, they were trying to stall for time to dodge the attention of the members of royalty.

But during this time, the sea clans had broken the agreement between the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors and the Radiance Federation. The Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation royalty had also fought each other from thousands of kilometers away by using their sacred source lifeforms to trigger celestial phenomena. On top of all that, the Azure Federation and Freedom Federation had sent out envoys to visit the Radiance Federation.

These three events held all of the members of royalty's attention, and they could not spare any effort to keep an eye on Whale Ocean Commerce.

This meant that Whale Ocean Commerce was going to seize this chance to put its carefully prepared plan into action.

After Fei Yu left, Lin Yuan checked the Purchase With No Loss store's fan club and saw that most of the Creation Masters were discussing Whale Ocean Commerce.

There were even some Creation Masters who belonged to factions that were faltering, and those who did not belong to any faction were going to give it a try.

One of these people was Master Duan Li, who had worked for Lin Yuan for three months.

Lin Yuan left Star Web and immediately instructed Wen Yu to investigate this matter.

It did not take long for Whale Ocean Commerce to find out how one could register for Whale Ocean Commerce's test.

Since Lin Yuan was going to register, he could not go with his original appearance.

Lin Yuan asked Wen Yu to apply Faceless Paper on him, and his exquisite features were replaced by plain ones.

There were two ways to register for Whale Ocean Commerce's test. The first way was to register on Star Web, and the second was to register offline at Whale Ocean Commerce's booth in the Royal Capital.

Since Lin Yuan was not in Star Web at the moment, he went to the booth to register.

While he was filling in his name, he stopped himself and wrote in the name 'Chu Yuan' instead.

After he was done registering, an employee from Whale Ocean Commerce informed him to report for the test four days later.

After exchanging a few words with the employee from Whale Ocean Commerce, Lin Yuan learned that those who were from the Royal Capital could report at a later date, but those who came from far away from the Royal Capital were going to be delivered to the Royal Capital on avian-type feys.

Lin Yuan thought,?In four days, I will know why Whale Ocean Commerce needs all these Creation Masters.

…

Deep in the middle of the cold night, plants were covered in frost.

This was not normal weather for the three months of spring in the Royal Capital.

In a study room with shelves made of jade-textured wood that was filled with books, a middle-aged man with solemn features placed a black chess piece on the board.

The man opposite him, who bore a striking resemblance to him, did not have many white chess pieces left. This man hurriedly said, "Big Brother, let me redo my last move! I want to change the position."

The man with solemn features did not halt as he said, "Wancheng, don't be flippant. If you change your previous move, you won't be able to turn the tables later on. Unfortunately, I saw through your plan."

He threw the chess piece in his hand on the board. Evidently, he did not want to continue playing.

Di Wancheng also fell silent.

Whale Ocean Commerce was currently playing a dangerous game of chess. Chess could represent the passage of life and time.

However, Whale Ocean Commerce could not afford the consequences if they lost the game because it would mean that every person from Whale Ocean Commerce would become a criminal in the Radiance Federation's eyes! All of them would have no other ending waiting for them besides death!

After a short period of silence, the same maniacal look appeared on Di Wantian and Di Wancheng's faces.

Chapter 1466: The Path That Di Wantian Paved

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Wancheng, how many Creation Masters signed up to participate in the test?" asked Di Wantian.

Di Wancheng smiled and replied, "Big Brother, the number of Creation Masters who signed up is so high that I can't keep track of it. There should be 621 Class 2 Creation Masters, 74 Class 3 Creation Masters, and 12 Class 4 Creation Masters."

Di Wancheng paused for a moment before continuing. "Big Brother, the lives of these Creation Masters should be enough to fill the gap that Third Sister needs to become a Class 5 Creation Master, right? However, isn't it too early for us to act now?"

Di Wantian shook his head and picked up a black chess piece. He felt the weight of it in his palm as he said, "Early? It isn't early at all! We started our plan too late. Yet, the stars aligned, and the Radiance Federation ended up clashing with the sea clans and made a bet with the Freedom Federation.

"Moreover, the Freedom Federation sent envoys to the Radiance Federation to spectate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. The envoys from the Freedom Federation will definitely cause trouble during the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. The members of royalty will all be deployed to watch over the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

"This period is when the royalty's attention is the most scattered. The best time for us to strike is now! Wancheng, don't forget that Third Sister cannot wait any longer. The longer the delay, the more her body will deteriorate."

Di Wancheng's voice was determined, but he was trembling on the inside.

Whale Ocean Commerce would be done if even a hint of this matter was leaked to any member of royalty.

But when he thought about how Third Sister could become a Class 5 Creation Master using these Creation Masters in just a few days, Di Wancheng relaxed.

Once their so-called Third Sister became a Class 5 Creation Master, she would be the fourth Class 5 Creation Master in the Radiance Federation, and the power held by the current three Class 5 Creation Masters would be divided to accommodate the fourth Class 5 Creation Master.

Once the low-class Creation Masters died, there would be no reason for the Radiance Federation's royalty to persecute their Third Sister over the dead Creation Masters.

Di Wancheng felt that Whale Ocean Commerce was contributing to the Radiance Federation.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Di Wancheng frowned for a moment before he asked, "Is it Hao? Come in!"

Usually, no one dared to disturb Di Wantian's study. Only Di Wancheng, Third Sister, and Di Hao were permitted to enter Di Wantian's study.

Di Wantian's wife had died young, and his son was the apple of his eye.

The moment he spoke, a young and slightly hoarse voice said from the other side of the door, "Father, Uncle Wu asked me to tell you that we have invited people from Four Beasts Territory to come to our house as guests."

Di Hao was slightly confused and asked, "Father, where are these people from Four Beasts Territory? Additionally, our business is sea trading. I fail to see how we can work with Four Beasts Territory, whose business involves beast-type feys."

Di Wantian stood up and led Di Hao over to take a seat next to him before he said, "Hao, leave this matter alone and focus on practicing your combat skills. Your sacred source lifeform has only just reached 3 Stars. You need to work harder!"

Di Hao pouted as he looked at Di Wantian with displeasure. He did not understand why his father changed the subject whenever he asked a question to clarify his confusion.

For example, he had asked numerous times where his Third Aunt went. His father's reply was always that she was out training and had not yet returned.

But what kind of training lasted over a decade? Di Hao could not bring himself to believe such an explanation. Vissit n𝒐velbin.c𝒐m for 𝒏ew 𝒏ovels

But as unhappy as Di Hao was, he still agreed.

"Father, don't worry. You gave me plenty of Suzerain metal ores. Once my sacred source lifeform digests all the metal ores, it will evolve to 4 Stars! I heard that Chef Supreme's disciple's sacred source lifeform evolved to 4 Stars during the fight during the Guard Ye Banquet's Martial Arts Stage. Once my sacred source lifeform evolves to 4 Stars, I wonder if I will become stronger than Chef Supreme's disciple."

Di Hao's gaze was full of excitement when he spoke.

Di Wantian's chest tightened when he saw Di Hao's gaze.

Ever since Whale Ocean Commerce struck up a deal with Tower Canon and their Third Sister found an unorthodox path to become a Class 5 Creation Master, he formed a wall between him and his son.

This was to prevent Di Hao from learning about the skeletons in his family's closet and to prevent him from exhibiting too much of his talent because it would attract the attention of the members of royalty.

Di Wantian felt guilty toward Di Hao.

If anyone else had asked the question, Di Wantian would have replied without hesitation that Zong Ze was stronger.

Zong Ze's strength did not only stem from his 4 Stars sacred source lifeform but also his fey with the Barren bloodline.

It would be impossible for Di Hao to obtain a fey with the Barren bloodline.

But soon, this would change.

Once their Third Sister became a Class 5 Creation Master, she would be able to fight for the chance to become a member of royalty.

When that happened, Whale Ocean Commerce would be the family of a member of royalty, and Di Hao would be considered a descendant of a member of royalty and obtain the chance to gain a fey with the Barren bloodline.

In two years, their Third Sister could work hard at nurturing Di Hao, and it would be easy for him to become a Radiance Envoy.

When that happened, Di Hao would be enthroned at the top of the world and be able to bask in the admiration of thousands.

This was the path that Di Wantian was paving for Di Hao.

The path was almost complete.

Di Wantian gave Di Hao a few more pieces of advice.

Di Hao was irked by the nagging and found a reason to excuse himself from Di Wantian's study.

As Di Wancheng watched the image of Di Hao's back, he could not help but ask, "Big Brother, Hao's sacred source lifeform might not be outstanding, but it can already cause significant damage despite not having even reached 6 Stars. If Third Sister helps him, he should be able to become the leader of the Radiance Envoys."

Di Wantian nodded in agreement and said, "The Moon Empress' disciple and Chief Guard Ye's disciple are still mysteries to me. The Moon Empress' disciple's sacred source lifeform appeared to be immune to the elements, but that sacred source lifeform in the form of a young girl turned into a sword. I don't think the Moon Empress is able to enable her young disciple to contract two sacred source lifeforms."

"Presently, Hao's strongest attack can reach the power of a Myth Breed fey. But two months ago, the Moon Empress' disciple's attack could reach the power of a Myth III fey that also carried a hint of Creation power.

"Chief Guard Ye's disciple summoned four insect-species carcinoma feys, and all four of their power had reached Diamond X/Legend. Chief Guard Ye's disciple is a walking disaster. Once he becomes older, he will be able to wipe out all life on a continent with a wave of his hand. He might not be strong in a one-on-one fight, but he is definitely unrivaled when it comes to a group battle. He will definitely be able to gain full marks in the group battle portion of the Radiance Envoy selection.

"The Bamboo Monarch's disciple chose to participate in the Arts Stage. However, his sacred source lifeform reached 4 Stars long ago, and it happens to be the natural enemy of Chef Supreme's disciple's sacred source lifeform.

"Third Sister's nurturing will decide how far Hao can go. Go and make arrangements to kill every person from Four Beasts Territory besides the Creation Masters. Send Four Beasts Territory's Creation Masters to Third Sister, and she will handle them."

Di Wancheng hesitated before asking, "Big Brother, should we send the Creation Masters we recruited to Third Sister first before we move on to the Creation Masters from Four Beasts Territory? After all, Four Beasts Territory has the support of the Du family."

Di Wantian scoffed and said, "Even if the Du family comes to see us to take revenge for Four Beasts Territory, is there any reason for us to fear them? Ten years ago, they lost to us during the fight for the mineral vein. Now, they won't be able to save Four Beasts Territory even if they try.

"Moreover, I don't plan on keeping our recruitment of Creation Masters under wraps. Once Third Sister becomes a Class 5 Creation Master, it won't matter even if the Du family discovers that we killed Four Beasts Territory. The Du family would never dare to offend a Class 5 Creation Master out of their concern for another faction."

Di Wancheng immediately went off to attend to their 'guests' from Four Beasts Territory.

…

After Lin Yuan was done with the registration, he prepared himself to burn the midnight oil in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

However, he was stopped by Chimey.

In the past few days that Chimey had been live-streaming, there had been comments saying that it had been lying in its previous live stream when it said that it was going to set up the Warm Sun Fund to rescue feys and spirit qi professionals because there had not been a single peep about Warm Sun Fund since then.

At first, Chimey ignored these messages because Lin Yuan had promised that he would carry it out, and Lin Yuan would never fail in his promise to Chimey.

However, the audience members in the live streaming room noticed the negative comments and started to discuss them.

Eventually, many of the beauty community's live-streamers started accusing and suspecting Chimey. They said that this popular rookie live-streamer was a failure.

Tonight, Chimey's live-streaming room turned into a fierce battleground, and it got to the point that Chimey could not sing in peace.

All the accusations extremely hurt Chimey.

It had started out as a Sound Bird that could not even sing. Chimey truly wanted to help feys like it and Genius as well as spirit qi professionals like Lin Yuan.

Chimey was not an evil, lying live-streamer like they said. The more Chimey thought about it, the sadder it became. When it recounted the incident to Lin Yuan, a few beads of tears even dripped down its face.

Lin Yuan had not forgotten about the Warm Sun Fund. In fact, he had already made preparations for it and asked the experienced Sun Ningxiang to draw up a plan for it.

No matter how capable Lin Yuan was, he was only one man and needed time for the plan to unfold.

However, the people on Star Web were becoming impatient, and they were using this matter as a weapon to accuse and attack Chimey.

This was the third time that Lin Yuan was seeing Chimey cry. The first two times were because he had fainted. This time, it was because it was extremely hurt.

Lin Yuan hurriedly wiped away Chimey's tears with the pad of his finger and said, "Chimey, the Warm Sun Fund's structure is being set up. It will be started in the Xia Region, where we used to live together. I was going to tell you that the Warm Sun Fund will be starting two days later. But I shall release the news tonight since you can't wait anymore."

Lin Yuan's tone turned stern, and he said, "Chimey, even the most impressive person can't control the thoughts of others. But you have to remember to continue doing good deeds. Don't worry. All the accusing voices aimed at you will disappear tomorrow morning. You'll be able to continue live-streaming as per normal by tomorrow night."

Although Lin Yuan was saying such things to Chimey, he was hopping mad.

There had to be a person pulling the strings from the shadows to enable this matter to able to grow to such an extent in such a short span of time.

The only people who could be behind this were the live-streamers who clashed with Chimey.

People's hearts were made of flesh, and their eyes were always beady with scrutiny.

This matter was important enough to become a trending moral matter.

The live-streamers who used morals to attack Chimey would definitely eat their words once the Warm Sun Fund was started, and the other people would immediately attack them on Star Web even without Lin Yuan's interference.

Lin Yuan took out his phone and called Fan Hansheng, Sun Ningxiang, Long Tao, and Li Xuan to put the cherry atop the matter regarding the Warm Sun Fund.

Tomorrow morning, the Warm Sun Fund would officially begin.

Although the Warm Sun Fund was a freshly started charity fund, it included plant-type feys from Condense Fairy Orchard, avian-type feys from Dark Clouds Bird Shrine, dragon-species feys from Coiling Dragon's Valley, and insect-species feys from the Cage of Brahma Insects.

As for beast-type feys, amphibious-type feys, fish-species feys, and other types of feys that Lin Yuan had not found suppliers for yet, he would be able to buy them from Star Web to funnel into the Warm Sun Fund.

However, the four top factions would not be supplying the feys for free.

Condense Fairy Orchard had become a branch of Sky City. As for Coiling Dragon's Valley, Dark Clouds Bird Shrine, and the Cage of Brahma Insects, Lin Yuan would buy the feys at their market price.

The Warm Sun Fund was Chimey's idea. But even if Chimey had not come up with it, Lin Yuan had long wanted to set up a charity fund.

Lin Yuan's hope was not for the unfortunate people to become experts through the Warm Sun Fund but to lead happier lives.

At the very least, he hoped they would not have to lead lives of hardship but have smooth-sailing journeys instead.

Chapter 1468: Beginning of the Warm Sun Fund

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

A ray of dawn light cut through the all-encompassing dark mist. The sun had risen.

The chicken-species feys around the streetside spirit lifeform store started to cluck, attracting a few grumpy complaints from inside the spirit lifeform store.

A person should be at their most energetic when they awoke. However, this was not the case for Li Ziqiang.

After Li Ziqiang opened his eyes and looked at the middle-aged woman next to him, he fell in a daze while lying on his bed.

He was a regular person who was not a spirit qi professional, and his wife was the same.

His son had turned 18 years old not long ago.

When they went to check his talent, it was discovered that he had spirit qi professional potential and was affiliated with power offense-type insect-species feys.

The Li family only had single descendants for three generations, and none of them had been a spirit qi professional.

Li Zhong's spirit qi professional talent was a shining moment for the entire Li family.

But before Li Ziqiang and Wang Xuemei could properly revel in their joy, Wang Xuemei succumbed to a strange illness that left her dizzy, nauseous, and weak. She vomited out any food she ate after five minutes.

Li Ziqiang had hired some experienced physicians to check on her condition, but they could not figure out what was ailing her.

He was at a complete loss and spent a fair amount of money to hire a healing-type spirit qi professional.

After the healing-type spirit qi professional checked on Wang Xuemei, he deduced that the issue lay with her soul. This explained her dizziness, nausea, and lack of strength.

If it was a problem with her spirit, a spirit-type fey and healing-type spirit qi professional could immediately cure Wang Xuemei.

But since this problem involved her soul, it was beyond the healing-type spirit qi professional's abilities.

In order to cure Wang Xuemei, a Class 2 and above Creation Master was required because a Class 1 Creation Master could not concoct souls that affected souls.

However, it cost at least 20 Radiance dollars to be examined by a Class 2 Creation Master.

Li Ziqiang had been working under a Class 1 Spirit Craftsman.

After scrimping and saving for over a decade, he had managed to save up 17 Radiance dollars. However, this was meant to be given to Li Zhong so he could buy a good-quality power offense-type insect-species fey.

A good starting fey could help Li Zhong's future development. It could even attract the attention of his teachers in the Intermediate Spirit Qi Academy and lead to him being recommended to enroll in the Redbud Spirit Qi Intermediate Academy.

But now, his wife needed the money badly to save her life. At the same time, his son needed the money to get ahead of his peers.

If Li Ziqiang was the one who had fallen ill, he would insist on the money going to his son no matter what.

However, when he saw his wife's expressions of agony, he steeled himself and thought,?I will go and borrow money. I have to heal my wife, even if it means I'll have to live with debt! My son will be able to make his way in life on his own. If I don't save my sick wife, what kind of man will that make me?

Li Ziqiang hurriedly stood up to borrow money from his sister, who was also living in the Xia Region.

After spending the 20 Radiance dollars and making use of some under-the-table means, Wang Xuemei was back to normal by the evening.

Li Ziqiang was afraid that Wang Xuemei would reject treatment if she found out that 20 Radiance dollars needed to be spent, so he did not tell her about it on their way to receive treatment.

Eventually, when she found out that Li Ziqiang had spent 20 Radiance dollars to cure her, she immediately started crying in self-reproach. Large beads of tears rolled down her face.

Li Ziqiang placed his arm around Wang Xuemei's shoulders.

Although he was comforting her, his smile was just as bitter.

He would need to starve for a year and a half to repay his sister's three Radiance dollars.

As for Li Zhong, they had no choice but to choose a normal offense-type insect-species fey with unconfirmed abilities and exclusive skills.

A spirit qi professional could not break the contract between them and their fey.

If the insect-species fey evolved to Bronze grade and the exclusive skill it unlocked turned out to be useless or did not align with being power offense, his son would not be able to make a name for himself even if he was a spirit qi professional.

While the husband and wife were despondently walking home, they spotted a crowd of people gathered around a building. Li Ziqiang and Wang Xuemei could hear the people discussing feys, something that was free, and such.

Perhaps it was because the group was getting too noisy, but a spirit qi professional walked out of the building and shouted, "Everyone, keep quiet and line up properly! I will take a headcount. Once the number exceeds 500, the others will have to come back tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m.! Otherwise, you might not get your chance by nightfall. Please also remember that when you go and choose your fey, you have to go to the administrative office in the Xia Region to process the necessary documents. Otherwise, you won't be able to take home the fey you obtained from the Warm Sun Fund."

Many people voiced their thanks and immediately dashed off to the administrative office. They had entered after hearing the news and were unaware of the rules.

Only those who had arrived early and learned about the rules had already gone to the administrative office to process the necessary documents.

Many people had already processed their documents, verified their identities, and obtained their feys.

Although the Xia Region was a small place, every citizen in the Radiance Federation had the right to log into Star Web.

Chimey was a phenomenon-class live-streamer on Star Web.

Amongst the people busking on the streets, there had to be at least three of them who were singing Chimey's songs.

When the term 'Warm Sun Fund' was mentioned, many people immediately took out their phones to record everything that was happening here and post it to Star Web. Vissit n𝒐velbin.c𝒐m for 𝒏ew 𝒏ovels

Things were going smoothly, and the people could head to the administrative office directly for processing because of the Warm Sun Fund's connection to the four top factions and because Lin Yuan had already asked Elder Ning to inform Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao had issued an order to the Xia Region's administrative office for them to cooperate with the Warm Sun Fund.

The Warm Sun Fund's first stop was the Xia Region. This was an opportunity for Redbud City.

Redbud City experienced year-long rain. The terrain consisted of mountains and forests, and one side of the city faced a sea full of reefs that made it impossible to build a harbor to fish for fish-species feys.

Redbud City did not have anything remarkable to speak of compared to other cities.

Chapter 1469: In the Name of Love

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Elder Ning had told Ling Xiao all about who was behind the Warm Sun Fund. It was the disciple that he had delivered to the Moon Empress, Lin Yuan.

Moreover, the Warm Sun Fund also involved four top factions.

There was no other charity fund in the Radiance Federation that was as reputable as the Warm Sun Fund.

News of the Warm Sun Fund would spread all over Star Web today. The larger the scale, the faster news of it would travel on Star Web.

It would not take long for the shining light of the Warm Sun Fund to reflect on Redbud City.

It was possible for this matter to attract rising and veteran factions to move to Redbud City.

Ling Xiao had wanted to seek Lin Yuan out more than once. But every time, he gave up the idea after mulling over it.

This was because Lin Yuan was selflessly helping others and should not be linked to his petty scheme.

Ning Yanting was one of Redbud City's elders. With him around to communicate with Lin Yuan, Ling Xiao would not need to communicate with Lin Yuan.

Ling Xiao decided that he would cooperate fully with anything related to the Warm Sun Fund.

When Ling Xiao heard that the Warm Sun Fund wanted to communicate with other regions besides the Xia Region, he personally did all he could to help them out. He could not allow the Moon Empress' disciple to be contaminated by the actions of lowly evildoers.

After Li Ziqiang understood the situation, he anxiously dragged his wife and son to the administrative office to verify the situation.

At that moment, the ever-careful Wang Xuemei said to Li Ziqiang, "Husband, take our son to Lord Fang to verify the situation. We'll split up and work. I will continue to stay here to watch over the situation."

In all her life, Wang Xuemei had never encountered such a lucky break.

Although nothing seemed off at the moment, there was no guarantee that it would not all turn out to be a lie when they entered the building.

Wang Xuemei's family was already in debt and could not sustain any more losses. Checkk new 𝒏ovel ch𝒂pters at nov𝒆

Hence, Wang Xuemei wanted to understand the situation first and wait to see if those who walked out of the building had truly obtained feys.

Li Ziqiang agreed with Wang Xuemei and said, "Okay! I will take Zhong to the administrative office first to verify the situation with Lord Fang. Once the matter is verified, I will stay here to queue up through the night so Zhong will be able to gain a fey first thing tomorrow."

Li Ziqiang decided to stay up all night to queue because he was afraid that the Warm Sun Fund would abandon the Xia Region at any moment.

Li Ziqiang usually went onto Star Web immediately after he returned home from work.

Li Ziqiang also liked listening to songs. Thus, he knew who Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess was.

Although Li Ziqiang had never rewarded money to Chimey, he was considered one of her old fans.

He had also happened to catch the live stream where Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess had said that she wanted to start the Warm Sun Fund.

Li Ziqiang felt that Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess should not be able to afford such expenditure from just the money she earned from live-streaming.

After Li Ziqiang took Li Zhong to the administrative office, Wang Xuemei noticed that every person who entered the building later exited with a fey in hand.

Suddenly, Wang Xuemei spotted a familiar figure in the crowd. She hurriedly walked up to the young girl and asked, "Little Lan, what are you doing here? I am going to bake some biscuits tonight, and I'll send some to you. Don't stand on ceremony with me this time!"

The young girl looked at Wang Xuemei with gratitude before she said, "Thank you, Auntie Wang!"

Yet, Zhang Lan was slightly suspicious.

Wang Xuemei's family was not considered poor, and they had at least 10 Radiance dollars in savings.

The Warm Sun Fund was meant to help those who did not have savings and were genuinely in need of help.

Wang Xuemei did not meet those conditions.

At that moment, Wang Xuemei asked hopefully, "Little Lan, are they giving out feys for free inside the building?"

Zhang Lan nodded and said, "They really are giving out feys for free in there. Moreover, they will also choose the fey's abilities and exclusive skills according to the spirit qi professional's talent. They also accept the sick and help cure those unable to afford medical treatment on their own. I came here to heal the injury to my leg. Auntie Wang, look at how my leg has healed. I can go out to earn money to take care of Grandma from now on!"

Zhang Lan ran toward Wang Xuemei happily to share her joy.

Next, she told Wang Xuemei about the rules of this place before she skipped home to tell her grandmother the good news.

Wang Xuemei felt slightly conflicted,

If Li Ziqiang had chosen to set the money aside for their son's fey, and she had come here instead to cure her illness, she would not have passed the assessment that Zhang Lan said was necessary.

Luckily, Li Ziqiang had chosen to spend their savings to heal her and landed their family in debt. This enabled them to meet the condition that the Warm Sun Fund had laid out.

Presently, Wang Xuemei was full of bliss and elation. She was glad that Li Ziqiang loved her and delighted that someone was kind enough to start the Warm Sun Fund, which had reignited her family's hope.

That night, Star Web was abuzz with activity. The users from the Xia Region only took up a small portion of the total users on Star Web. However, the videos and pictures of the Warm Sun Fund were like matches capable of starting a raging flame.

That night, when Chimey started its live stream, it had been afraid of encountering the same situation as before.

From the moment Chimey started its live-stream, the nasty comments and paid naysayers flooded in.

Chimey remembered that Lin Yuan had told it to live-stream as per usual and focused on singing as it ignored the comments.

Chapter 1470: Bai Hao is Boiling Mad

Vissit n𝒐velbin.c𝒐m for 𝒏ew 𝒏ovels

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Literate: Do all of you who are insulting Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess truly feel this way? If so, all of you are evil! There has never been a host willing to put all her earnings into starting a charity fund.

: Since Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess said she would do it, she definitely will! It hasn't been long since she announced her plan. Don't you know that it takes time to set up and prepare a fund? It's not something that can be done in a day!

: If you are posting such nasty comments because you were instigated, I can understand that. But you are too wicked if you were hired to try and earn money through such an unscrupulous method!

Literate was livid when he posted the comment.

He was not one of Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess' old fans.

Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess had been live-streaming for more than eight months, but Literate came across her live stream by chance just two months ago.

Literate did not know much about Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess; all he did was enjoy her singing. He always noted down the lyrics of her songs and practiced them in his free time.

The moment he truly became her fan and started adoring her was the night when she showed her true appearance and announced that she was going to start the Warm Sun Fund.

A talented person was admired by many, but only a person with morals would gain the affections of the masses.

Literate had browsed through other live-streaming rooms in the talent and beauty communities and was familiar with the top fans in those live-streaming rooms.

Many of the nasty comments and accusations were coming from these familiar names.

Literate had said what he said for the benefit of these people.

However, the comments were spilling out at a breakneck pace, and Literate's comment was soon lost in the swarm of messages.

But many audience members had already seen his message, and Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess' old fans quickly sent in reply messages. Some also copied Literate's original message and resent it.

Regardless of what the matter was, opposing opinions would lead to an argument. Chimey's live-streaming room was no exception.

Chimey kept its eye on the comments as it sang, and it had seen every single message.

Suddenly, Chimey was hit with a wave of dejection toward singing.

It was working so hard to live stream to help more feys and people that were in the same situation that itself, Genius, and Lin Yuan had been in.

Yet, it ended up being misunderstood, and strife broke out in its live-streaming room.

Chimey did not deserve such burdens, and it was tired. Singing was not bringing it any happiness now.

Chimey missed the past when it used to perch on Lin Yuan's ear and only sing for him.

As such, Chimey stopped singing.

It looked at the comments and said, "I'm a little tired of singing. I hope we'll be able to meet again in the future."

Chimey immediately left Star Web and ignored the reactions of the audience.

Many talent and beauty hosts smiled when Chimey went offline.

Chimey's appearance had stolen a lot of their audience members and put their livelihoods at risk.

Music was not mainstream in the Radiance Federation, and the talent community was very small on Star Web.

Although Chimey was a beauty host, it used to block its face and had been no threat to the top hosts who depended on their looks.

But the other beauty hosts felt threatened ever since Chimey revealed its looks.

Hence, many beauty and music hosts had gathered together to knock Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess down a peg.

Suppose Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess had stopped its live stream to explain the situation and report on the progress of the Warm Sun Fund's preparation. In that case, the hosts who had hired people to write nasty comments might be stuck as they would have to pay extra when the situation turned complicated.

But now that Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess left without offering any sort of explanation, it only fuelled the narrative that she was guilty.

Now that Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess was gone, the people left in the live-streaming room went ahead and said whatever they wanted without holding back.

At that moment, Bai Hao entered the live-streaming room.

Bai Hao was confused when he entered the live-streaming room. He had entered because he saw that Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess was hosting a live stream. So why was she gone now?

Since the impending Radiance Hundred Sequence selection would cause Bai Hao's position in the Radiance Hundred Sequence to change, he had been training hard and had not had time to log onto Star Web.

Just as Bai Hao was about to give rewards like he usually did, he saw the messages.

He became so angry that he forgot he was part of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and started to engage with the hate comments. He could not sit on the fence and allow Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess to suffer such humiliation. He was willing to defend her using any scathing and rude reply necessary.

Bai Hao managed to quell many of the hate comments.

One had to register for Star Web with one's real identity. If Bai Hao had contacted Star Web and pursued the matter, he would easily be able to find out these people's true identities.

However, not everyone on Star Web was afraid of Bai Hao.

A few of the major hosts on Star Web had the support of factions. They were able to succeed easily because of strings pulled by these factions.

These major hosts had reported to their factions before they attacked Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess so their factions would be prepared to save them if things got out of hand.

Poison Beauty shook her head when she saw Bai Hao confronting the hate messages.

Poison Beauty had not entered the live-streaming room to add onto the hate comments. She was just one of PSparrow Voice Loli Goddess' normal listeners.

But on the other hand, Poison Beauty was very popular on Star Web.

Previously, she was only a small host in Star Web's battle community.

In order to attract more people to watch her live stream, she had rooted herself at Level 100 of Star Tower, becoming one of the Celestial Stairway's guards.

The number of fans following her had skyrocketed after she made use of Black's popularity twice. She had come up with all the solutions she could think of and retained her popularity.

Eventually, she had signed a contract with the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce and became their sales host to sell luxury goods.

This enabled her to gain even more fans but also helped her to bring in a sizable income.

The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce had a strict rule that their contracted hosts could not have any negative events or images tied to them.

Hence, Poison Beauty could not speak up to attack the hate comments like Bai Hao was doing and defend Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess for fear of losing her job.

Chapter 1471: Freedom Envoy Proposes an Alliance

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

However, Poison Beauty felt that the people currently attacking Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess would end up eating crow.

Since Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess had said in public that she was going to set up the Warm Sun Fund, she had to have the means to carry it through.

Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess' reward turnover was more than 1,000,000 Radiance dollars. As such, the Warm Sun Fund had to have a source fund of at least a hundred million.

Spending hundreds of millions of Radiance dollars would definitely cause a large commotion on Star Web.

Choosing to attack Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess at such a time would only be the equivalent of digging your own trap.

At that moment, a special comment appeared in the live-streaming room.

Annihilation Black Wings: I'm wondering if these haters and paid nasty comments are enjoying their meal of crow?

Annihilation Black Wings' comment was short, and it included a Star Web link.

Posting a link in the comments cost money because it was considered an advertisement.

The price of posting a link would be 5% of the host's rewards for the day.

Although Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess had sung for less than 20 minutes and went offline before finishing the fifth song, she had already gained 800,000 Radiance dollars.

This meant that Annihilation Black Wings had spent 40,000 Radiance dollars to post the link.

Was it really worth spending all that to post one message?

Many audience members in the live-streaming room clicked on the link out of curiosity and were immediately stunned by what they saw.

The screen showed a very simple free post where one could record one's life. This post detailed the life of a sad person who had a rope thrown down to him when he was at the lowest point in his life.

The post seemed to be a story, but it also came with a video at the end.

Many of the audience members fell silent when they watched the video because it showed an organization called the Warm Sun Fund giving out hope and saving the most plebeian people imaginable.

The person giving out the hope was the young girl who had just been the victim of bombings of accusations in her live-streaming room and ended up leaving her live stream.

Perhaps it was because of the sorrow of a girl who was falsely accused and wronged, but more and more people clicked on the post and spent 40,000 Radiance dollars to repeatedly share it.

Now, the Xia Region truly became the spark of what would turn into a blazing pyre.

All the nasty comments disappeared, and some of the paid commentators even started to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess!"

Such messages flooded into the hostless live-streaming room.

For some reason, every audience member recalled the last line of the song that Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess sang before she left.

'Would you be willing if it was in the name of love?'

This matter spread all over Star Web, and many of the hosts who had hired people to write hate comments were exposed.

All the flack that Chimey had been enduring ended up reflected back onto the hosts.

Star Web was currently roiling with activity. However, there was a place that was experiencing even more intense commotion than Star Web.

On the dark blue surface of the sea, waves up to four meters tall crashed against an island. Findd new 𝒔tories on nov/e(l)

Two Island Whales that were 10,000 meters long each were docked on the shores of the sea.

Yin Lin had become withdrawn ever since the last Astronomical Parliament's parliamentary meeting failed to take place.

The next Astronomical Parliament's parliamentary meeting was supposed to be taking place tomorrow.

Will it happen like it's supposed to? Otherwise, will I lose the man wrapped in willpowers and laws who saved me from the darkness?

At that moment, someone knocked on Yin Lin's door twice, and a kind voice said, "Lordess Azure Envoy, Lord Lan Xun would like to discuss the agreement proposed by the envoys from the Freedom Federation with you."

Yin Lin frowned. She did not like to be disturbed when she was thinking. But since Lan Xun wanted to discuss an important matter with her, she knew that she had to go and see him.

Yin Lin stood up and picked up her floor-length dress before opening the door.

The young man who came to pass on the message to Yin Lin lowered his head, and his voice became small.

Yin Lin said to the young man, "Jiang Song, lead the way."

Jiang Song realized that he was being inappropriate and hastily walked ahead to lead the way.

The Island Whale's body was gargantuan, and it took Yin Lin ten minutes to walk from the room to the meeting area.

While Jiang Song was anxiously walking, Yin Lin said in a cold yet clear voice, "Jiang Song, is Teacher Lan Xun tempted by the temporary collaboration proposed by the Freedom Envoys?"

Jiang Song shook his head and said, "I'm not aware of what conditions the Freedom Envoys proposed, and I can't read Lord Lan Xun's intentions. However, I think that the Azure Federation is on better terms with the Radiance Federation than the Freedom Federation. We're going to the Radiance Federation to spectate the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection and cement your status as an envoy. The Freedom Federation and Azure Federation's bet is proof of their enmity. The Freedom Envoys must be up to no good on this trip to the Radiance Federation. I did bring this up with Lord Lan Xun. Although he did not say much, I think he agrees with me."

Yin Lin nodded and fell silent.

She was the fourth Azure Envoy; doing the best thing for herself would be the best option for both her and the Azure Federation.

Jiang Song might not be aware of the conditions stated by the Freedom Federation, but Yin Lin was.

The Freedom Federation had promised to give the Azure Federation a precious instrument made from the body of a 5 Stars and above sacred source lifeform.

This benefit would tempt anyone.

However, Yin Lin was against the Freedom Federation's suggestion because the man who had saved her told her to go to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce in the Radiance Federation's Royal Capital to trade for the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. This meant that her savior likely came from the Radiance Federation.

Yin Lin did not want to do anything that would be disadvantageous to the Radiance Federation where the man lived.

When they arrived at the door of the meeting room, she heard a shrill voice say from inside the room. "Lord Lan Xun, I suggest forming a short-term alliance with the Freedom Envoys. Both us and the Freedom Envoys are guests of the Radiance Federation. If we form an alliance, we'll be able to take care of each other."

Chapter 1472: Firefly Demon Fetus

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The shrill voice paused before she went on to say, "Moreover, the Freedom Federation is willing to give all ten of us a Firefly Demon Fetus each. The Firefly Demon Fetus can transform insect-species carcinoma feys into fairy source-type lifeforms. When the insect-species carcinoma feys are transformed into fairy source-type lifeforms, they will be able to break through the limit of their grade and evolve to Myth Breed."

Yin Lin pushed open the door and sneered. "Zhen Kelian, you brought up how the Firefly Demon Fetus is used. But will you really be brave enough to use it to nurture insect-species carcinoma feys? Don't you think it's ridiculous that the Freedom Federation decided to give such a treasure away instead of using it themselves? You're from a Class 4 family and will inherit a Class 4 beast pattern. Haven't you heard of the Firefly Fantasy Centipede's Premature Death incident that happened on the Freedom Federation's 16 islands?"

Every person in the room turned their eyes onto Yin Lin.

The ten young people, including Zhen Kelian, hurriedly stood up and bowed to Yin Lin.

All of their expressions shifted when Yin Lin mentioned the Firefly Fantasy Earthworm's Premature Death. The incident was too well known!

The incident happened at the Freedom Federation's 16 islands which spanned tens of millions of square meters.

Although 20 years had already passed, no plant-type feys could grow on the land.

As such, the 16 islands had to continuously use tens of Island Whales to import plant-type feys, agriculture, and fruits to sustain the many lives that lived on the island.

It was difficult to estimate how much loss of resources resulted from the Firefly Fantasy Earthworm's Premature Death.

The Firefly Demon Fetus had started this incident.

The Firefly Demon Fetus could break the shackles of insect-species carcinoma feys and enable them through the limit of Diamond X/Legend. This was enough to justify its value.

In actuality, the culprit was not the Firefly Demon Fetus but the insect-species carcinoma fey.

Insect-species carcinoma feys did not possess high intelligence, and most could only react according to their primal urges even after reaching Diamond X/Legend.

Using the Firefly Demon Fetus to transform the insect-species carcinoma fey into a fairy source-type lifeform would not be able to increase the insect-species carcinoma fey's intelligence. Hence, they were uncontrollable.

A Gold carcinoma fey was enough to wreak havoc. Even a member of royalty would only be able to do their best to minimize the damage caused by a Diamond insect-species carcinoma fey.

But once a carcinoma fey's shackles were broken, and they evolved to Suzerain, even low-danger insect-species carcinoma feys would be able to bring forth a disaster.

The disaster caused by an insect-species carcinoma fey would be able to disrupt the balance of an entire continent.

The Firefly Fantasy Earthworm's Premature death had led to seven members or royalty being deployed.

Although a Class 5 Creation Master was stationed at the 16 islands, the soil could not be recovered to its original state even after two decades had passed.

As an Azure Envoy, Yin Lin would not allow anyone to bring back such a dangerous item to the Azure Federation.

The Fairy's Hearts had once appeared in the Azure Federation, and they could transform any fey into a fairy source-type lifeform. They could fetch an even higher price at an auction than a sacred source lifeform.

The Fairy's Heart and Firefly Demon Fetus had similar functions.

However, the Fairy's Heart's effects came from its soul taking control of the carcinoma fey, while the Firefly Demon Fetus evolved the soul of the insect-species carcinoma fey itself.

Yin Lin had never heard of a person being able to contract or control carcinoma feys to wield them in battle.

She looked around at the ten young men and women around her and said, "All of you must have already received the Freedom Envoys' Firefly Demon Fetuses. Take them out and hand them to me. You are forbidden from bringing these things back and endangering the Azure Federation."

Yin Lin's words caused Zhen Kelian's features to harden as she said, "Lordess Yin Lin, I have a four-winged fairy. The insect-species carcinoma fey transformed by the Firefly Demon Fetus will only be able to have two wings at most. I can use my fairy's bloodline to control the transformed insect-species carcinoma fey."

The expressions of the other nine young people changed.

Yin Lin had just given her command, but Zhen Kelian was challenging her authority. This was considered an offense. It was a serious crime to offend an Azure Envoy!

If Yin Lin wanted to pursue the matter, Zhen Kelian would immediately be sent to the Shore Maze when they returned to the Azure Federation.

Every person present was certain that Yin Lin was going to tear into Zhen Kelian. But instead, Yin Lin raised her hand and summoned a navy-haired fairy with six wings.

"My six-winged fairy's bloodline will be able to suppress your four-winged fairy and the transformed insect-species carcinoma fey. If I managed to get my hands on a six-winged fairy, someone else would too. Do you still think that it will be safe to use the Firefly Demon Fetus to transform an insect-species carcinoma fey?" said Yin Lin.

Zhen Kelian was stunned. Her face flushed, and she faltered.

It was true that she had not thought about it in such detail, and it seemed that her idea was not as safe as she thought it was.

Moreover, she had just clashed with Yin Lin. What was she going to do now?

Frankly, Zhen Kelian had been indignant of Yin Lin from the beginning.

Zhen Kelian came from a Class 4 family in the Azure Federation and possessed a Class 4 beast pattern from a young age. She had been put on a pedestal her whole life.

She knew that she could never become an Azure Envoy and had been aiming to become an Azure Knight.

Yet, Yin Lin managed to rise to become the fourth Azure Envoy almost overnight.

Was it because she was a genius that had two beast patterns?

For the first time, Zhen Kelian felt discontented.

Zhen Kelian had carefully studied Yin Lin when they first boarded the Island Whale. Geett the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels on no/v/elbin.c/om

At first, Yin Lin had only been a C-rank spirit qi professional. Although she had recently become a B-rank spirit qi professional, she was still far from being capable of filling her position.

There were no C-rank spirit qi professionals in the Azure Hundred Sequence, and a few of the top members had already reached A-rank.

Chapter 1473: The Freedom Envoy Team's Goal

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yin Lin's summoning of the six-winged fairy was the first time she showed off her might and clarified the gap between her and Zhen Kelian.

The Diamond six-singed fairy could go a long way in justifying oneself.

Zhen Kelian knew that the Diamond six-winged fairy was enough for Yin Lin to crush her under her feet. She looked at Yin Lin and apologized decisively, "Lordess Yin Lin, I'm not trying to keep the Firefly Demon Fetus for myself. I'll give it to you now!"

Zhen Kelian took out the Firefly Demon Fetus and handed it to Yin Lin with both hands.

Her action was like a reminder to the rest of them, and they all took out their own Firefly Demon Fetus and gave them to Yin Lin. Geett the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels on no/v/elbin.c/om

Soon, there were 10 Firefly Demon Fetuses in Yin Lin's hand.

At that moment, Lan Xun, who had been silent until now, stood up and handed Yin Lin two Firefly Demon Fetuses as he said, "Lordess Azure Envoy, the Freedom Envoys also gave me two Firefly Demon Fetuses. I'm handing them both to you now."

Lan Xun's words stunned everyone present.

He was the manager of the Azure Sacred Hall and was of equal status as an Azure Envoy. He did not need to address Yin Lin as 'Lordess', but he did so to add might to Yin Lin's charisma.

Lan Xun stood up and walked over to smile at Yin Lin as he pointed at the head of the table.

"Lordess Azure Envoy, please take a seat."

Lan Xun pulled a chair over and sat down next to the chair he had pointed at.

Yin Lin recalled what Lan Xun had said to her the previous night and strode to the head of the table without hesitation.

"Everyone, take a seat. Jiang Song told me about the situation on the way here. Let me express my opinion on the Freedom Envoys and Radiance Federation," said Yin Lin.

Yin Lin waved again.

Nothing happened inside the house. But outside, fountains of water twisted out of the sea and formed a film of water that covered the surface of the Island Whale.

This film of light blue water seemed to cover everything and separated aura, noise, and sight from the rest of the world.

When this film of water appeared, the faces of every person on the Island Whale's back fell.

Yin Lin instructed her sacred source lifeform to produce this layer of water to show the Freedom Envoys what her stance was. This film of water completely sealed off the Freedom Envoys on the outside.

She said to the people in the meeting room, "We're headed to the Radiance Federation to celebrate that the Radiance Hundred Sequence is about to be complete. The Radiance Federation is on good terms with the Azure Federation. We traded side by side using the Radiance Azure Waterway and have both enjoyed prosperity. Since we're going as spectators, we shouldn't cause trouble. Do you understand what I'm getting at?"

Yin Lin's tone made it seem non-negotiable and more like she was declaring her decision.

The ten members of the Azure Hundred Sequence reacted in agreement with Yin Lin's decision.

Yin Lin nodded at Lan Xun before walking out of the meeting room.

Her mind was full of concern about tomorrow whether the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting would take place as per the schedule. Thus, she could not be bothered to entertain thoughts about anything else.

Lan Xun looked worried as he watched Yin Lin walk away.

He had noticed that something was wrong with her five days ago. Yin Lin had been completely listless, and her change in mood had become even more severe these two days.

He had asked her about what was happening, but she refused to say anything.

Lan Xun was afraid that something was wrong with her psychologically.

The others might not be aware, but Lan Xun knew how precious Yin Lin's talent was.

Amongst the 12 aristocratic families, the Azure Cloud Leopard family had not produced an heir that inherited their beast pattern in 15 years.

Previously, the other 11 aristocratic families had to fight fiercely for the four spots.

But once the Azure Cloud Leopard family had a member that awakened their beast pattern, they would have a contender to become the Radiance Envoy. This was because the Azure Cloud Leopard's ability Cloud Chain was a perfect investigative and informative-transmitting ability that would be essential during the Major Federation Meeting.

The Azure Cloud Leopard beast pattern was a large reason Yin Lin could swoop in to become an Azure Envoy.

Yin Lin's Spirit White Lion beast pattern would enable her to wield the Spirit White Lion to predict fortunes and misfortunes. Prediction was an even higher-level ability than investigation.

Yin Lin's sacred source lifeform's ability was Screen, and it added to her investigative methods.

Although she did not have impressive combat skills, her overall qualities made her qualified to rise from the fourth Azure Envoy to the third Azure Envoy.

The elder of the Azure Cloud Leopard also doted on his granddaughter and let her consume all sorts of magical and precious ingredients. As a result, her body could naturally collect spirit qi from the air.

This enabled her to increase her spirit qi professional rank quicker than the regular rate. In less than half a year, she would be able to evolve from a B-rank to an A-rank.

Lan Xun never approved of forming a temporary contract with the Freedom Federation. However, he left the matter alone because he wanted to test the characters of the new members of the Azure Hundred Sequence.

Although Lan Xun was displeased with Zhen Kelian's display, at least she repented at the last moment before she caused trouble.

The meeting between the Azure Envoy team might have just ended, but the one held by the Freedom Envoy team was just beginning.

A tall and skinny young man with an intelligent gleam in his eye was tapping on the table, and it was clear that he was deep in thought.

Three elderly men stood next to the young man, and seven of the ten young people were looking anxiously at the tall young man. Two of the remaining young people were male, and the last was a girl. All of them had calm expressions that lacked even a hint of worry.

The girl said to the tall young man, "Big Brother Qian, the people from the Azure Federation are so ungrateful. However, I don't think we'll lose much if they decide not to work with us. We're headed to the Radiance Federation this time to investigate what is going on with the Moon Empress and check on her injury. Secondly, we're going to try and humiliate the Radiance Federation. We will be able to accomplish both these goals even without help from the people from the Azure Federation. We don't need an alliance with them at all."

Chapter 1474: Accidents Always Happen While Sparring

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The girl's tone turned malicious as she said, "In my opinion, the 12 Firefly Demon Fetuses can't even compete with the 12 insect-species carcinoma feys that we nurtured secretly. It will be more useful if we set the Suzerain insect-species carcinoma feys loose in the Radiance Federation."

Before the tall man could speak, one of the elderly men next to him said in derision, "Yan Ling, are you trying to start a war with the Radiance Federation? Three members of royalty might favor you, but you should consider weighing the pros and cons for their sake!"

Yan Ling pouted and rolled her eyes before falling silent.

The two men on either side of her said, "Big Brother Qian, Yan Ling, Brother You, and I are more than enough to take down every person in the Radiance Hundred Sequence. We have seen all the information about the Radiance Hundred Sequence and didn't notice anything special. Even if most of them are hiding their true power, their revealed secret weapons aren't notable either."

The two young men spoke haughtily, but the remaining seven members of the Freedom Hundred Sequence dipped their heads and tried to diminish their presence as much as possible.

This was because Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjing were not just members of the Freedom Hundred Sequence but also envoys designated by the members of royalty.

The seven members of the Freedom Hundred Sequence did not have the right to listen in to the three new Freedom Envoys' conversation with the previous Freedom Envoys.

The tall man frowned. He said to the three arrogant people, "The candidates for the next batch of Radiance Envoys include Bamboo Monarch's disciple, Chef Supreme's disciple, and Long Lamplight's disciple. They are all older than 20, and there's no way they will participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. None of these three disciples of royalty have tried to become members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence. Instead, they went out to train.

"However, we have received news that the Moon Empress and Night Empress have both accepted disciples. These two disciples are shrouded in secret, and the information we received from within the Radiance Federation did not include the two disciples' names.

"I have a feeling that they are members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence! It's possible that you will be facing off against the next Radiance Envoys. So don't underestimate them, especially you, Yan Ling. Your sacred source lifeform is strong but don't be too dependent on it during combat. Who's to say that your sacred source lifeform won't be targeted by another sacred source lifeform? Don't say I didn't warn you when you end up with the tables turned on you."

Yan Ling stuck out her tongue at Qian Yu. She disagreed with what Qian Yu said.

So what if she was about to encounter the next Radiance Envoy? Her, Cai Huo, and You Changjian's feys could form a system, and their sacred source lifeforms could work seamlessly together.

Out of all the new Freedom Envoys, the three of them were a perfect triangle of offense.

The other two Freedom Envoys consisted of a function-type spirit qi professional and a Creation Master. The two of them were just supporting acts.

Yan Ling did not think that someone of the same age as her could beat the three of them.

Cai Huo and You Changjian were just as confused by what Qian Yu said as You Changjian was.

Qian Yu was always full of himself. Why was he suddenly acting so warily?

The previous generation of Freedom Envoys had led the current batch of Freedom Envoys to the Major Federation Meeting.

It could be said that the current generation of Freedom Envoys were the substitutes for the previous generation of Freedom Envoys.

The current generation of Freedom Envoys would be subbed in during some special battles or if an accident befell one of the previous envoys.

The current batch of Freedom Envoys would only take the lead at the next Major Federation Meeting.

Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian had never attended because the three of them always stayed behind Qian Yu's back.

Qian Yu saw that there was still a nonchalant expression on the other three's faces and sighed to himself.

I felt the same way as them eight years ago. But once I attended the Major Federation Meeting and finally clashed with the Radiance Envoys, I finally understood what kind of power the Radiance Envoys held.

Qian Yu was afraid that Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian would end up suffering the consequences of their hubris.

It would be a small matter if the Freedom Federation had to lay down some of its pride and a serious matter if the other goals for coming to the Freedom Federation were affected.

Qian Yu glanced at the three elderly men sitting next to him and nodded at one of them.

The elderly man understood what Qian Yu meant and said to Yan Ling, "The abilities of your three sacred source lifeforms are too important. Make sure you keep them a secret during this trip to the Radiance Federation."

Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian did not oppose this instruction. They understood that the elderly man was telling them to keep the abilities of their sacred source lifeforms a secret until the Major Federation Meeting because this would be the best way to take the Radiance Envoys by surprise.

Suddenly, a thought struck Cai Huo, and he said, "If there really is a disciple of royalty amongst the Radiance Hundred Sequence, why shouldn't we try to hit them a little harder during the spar? It's normal for accidents to happen during sparring. The Radiance Federation won't be able to point fingers even if someone ends up dead."

You Changjian and Yan Ling's expressions changed.

Qian Yu mulled for a moment before he said, "If you're confident of being able to land a killing blow, you can consider using your sacred source lifeforms' abilities. But since it's meant to be an accident, make sure to be discreet!"

Qian Yu stood up and sighed before continuing. "Forget it. Even if the Azure Envoys are unwilling to form a temporary alliance, we have other allies in the Radiance Federation. I want to see how the Radiance Federation will be able to stand up against us two years after we wreak havoc during this trip."

A contemplative look appeared on Qian Yu's face. He looked like a wily hunter who was waiting for his trap to spring on prey that had just unknowingly walked into it.

The cold sea breeze caused Yin Lin's skirt to billow in the wind.

Her hands and feet were freezing cold, and she stared up at the stars in the sky.

She could not help but be lost in the sight.

Yin Lin was no longer blind. She had awakened two beast patterns and was the Azure Federation's fourth Azure Envoy.

Chapter 1475: The Astronomical Parliament's Direction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The banquet amongst the constellations was not considered a benefit but a burden to Yin Lin.

However, she had already formed an unbreakable tie in the constellations.

She dared not think about the possibility of never seeing Lin Yuan again if the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting did not take place again.

While Yin Lin was looking up at the stars, a heavily injured young man was currently commandeering a bat-species fey in the Grotto Continent.

The bat-species fey split into a group of bats and attacked a group of Class 3 subterranean dimensional lifeforms.

When the bats surrounded the Class 3 dimensional lifeforms, the young man's wounds visibly started to heal.

The figures behind the young man were using different source-type items to defend against subterranean dimensional lifeforms.

This was the team that Bei Xu had put together in two weeks, and it was a kind of miniature faction.

Bei Xu had not allowed himself to stop for six days straight. He forced himself to fight to the point of exhaustion every time because this was the only way to keep his mind from wandering.

Tomorrow was going to be the next scheduled Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting.

…

Ta Lei's life had been rather routine the past few days, and he had concentrated on rushing along his journey.

He had encountered two robber groups who were dealt with by the guard that the Iron Hammer Federation's imperial court had assigned to him.

Although there was still a long way to go before they arrived at the border of the Divine Wood Federation, Ta Lei was very excited to meet his teacher.

Since Su Yiren had already met up with Lin Yuan in reality, the Astronomical Parliament had already lost its significance to her.

She did not intend on joining the next Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting because she could contact Lin Yuan directly if she needed anything.

Su Yiren had already started choosing the 14 Poppy Fruits and had already picked out seven suitable girls. The 14 Poppy Fruits would be complete soon.

…

At night, all the lanterns in the Radiance Federation's Royal Capital were lit, creating a sea of light.

Topics surrounding Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess took over all the messaging boards on Star Web that night.

Even those who did not listen to music on Star Web also came to know about Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess and the Warm Sun Fund.

When the messages about Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess reached a fervor, a message was posted by the Star Web officials at midnight that was sent to every Star Web user.

This news left all the Star Web users and members of factions in shock, which was soon followed by excitement.

The message stated that the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift was about to be open to the public in the Radiance Federation.

At the Guard Ye Banquet, the members of royalty had said that the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift was only going to be open to factions.

Later on, Cicada Song suggested that the 32 major cities build representative cities in the abyssal world.

The representative cities would protect citizens from the dangers of the abyssal world.

Thus, it led to this declaration.

None of the factions had been informed about the news in advance.

This piece of news gave every person an equal opportunity.

The members of factions who received the news immediately gathered manpower to start planning for their expansion into the abyssal world.

This piece of news caused Di Wancheng and Di Wantian's expressions to change.

During the Guard Ye Banquet, they had heard about the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift.

However, they did not expect the members of royalty to act so quickly and to make the declaration without any warning.

Normally, Di Wancheng and Di Wantian would be dying for the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift to open as soon as possible.

Whale Ocean Commerce had used the lead-up to the Radiance Hundred Sequence to concentrate all attention on them and recruit a large quantity of low-class Creation Masters.

Any faction would require Creation Master resources badly when building cities in the abyssal world.

Whale Ocean Commerce was drawing too much attention to themselves by recruiting Creation Masters at such a time. It would be easy for people to sense that something was wrong and for a slip-up to occur.

Di Wantian said to Di Wancheng, "Wancheng, go and tell Third Sister about the situation. When the other batch of Creation Masters appear three days later, tell her to wipe them all out and make the leap to become a Class 5 Creation Master."

Di Wantian was well aware that his sister would hold completely different levels of authority when she was and was not a Class 5 Creation Master.

Di Wantian wanted to give Whale Ocean Commerce as much authority as possible so they could sit at the same negotiation table as the members of royalty.

…

In the Return from Faraway Mansion, Lin Yuan woke up as sunlight streamed in.

After consuming the Earth Center Fine Milk, he no longer had the urge to laze in bed.

He immediately found out about the news that the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift was opening and entered the Spirit Lock spatial zone to fulfill his orders to Raging Waves City, Indigo Azure City, and Ascending Dragon City.

Sky City would use the three cities' advertisement to attract larger cities' attention and establish more partnerships. This would enable Lin Yuan to gain more food for the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen.

Lin Yuan worked hard until the afternoon when he went downstairs to eat lunch.

After lunch, he would analyze the issue of the Astronomical Parliament with Wen Yu. Geett the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐vels on no/v/elbin.c/om

The biggest increase in Wen Yu's power after training in the Radiant Moon Palace did not come from the Elemental Paper but from the Astronomical Parliament.

The Astronomical Parliament had already evolved to 3 Stars, just like the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen.

The Astronomical Parliament needed spiritual-type spiritual ingredients to increase its Stars.

Mystic Moon was a spiritual-type dragon-species fey.

As Wen Yu's Master, Mystic Moon felt that he was mistreating her.

He was trying so hard to nurture her because he wanted her to be able to assist Lin Yuan, just like how he helped the Moon Empress.

Hence, Mystic Moon had shed his dragon horn and had given it to her so the Astronomical Parliament could absorb it.

Although the Astronomical Parliament was only 3 Stars, the dragon horn would enable it to evolve to 5 Stars and above very soon.

The higher the Astronomical Parliament's Stars were, the better Wen Yu would understand it.

Wen Yu was ready to tell Lin Yuan about the Astronomical Parliament so he could help her decide the direction in which the Astronomical Parliament should develop.

Chapter 1476: Cloud Lake City and Mountain Bell City's Favors

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

But before Wen Yu could discuss the Astronomical Parliament with Lin Yuan, she had other things to ask him.

Wen Yu had also found out about the opening of the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift this morning.

She saw the abyssal world as an untouched and undiscovered world filled with resources that were ripe for the picking.

Wen Yu wanted to ask Lin Yuan if he intended to expand into the abyssal world.

Hence, she said, "Young Master, according to the rules, Sky City is under the Royal Capital. Should we create a representative faction inside the Royal Capital in the abyssal world?"

Lin Yuan was stunned.

He remembered that he had not told Wen Yu about the faction that he was setting up with Liu Jie, Zong Ze, Long Tao, and the rest. As such, he told her about their plans.

Wen Yu nodded when she heard Lin Yuan's plans for the abyssal world.

"Wen Yu, I told you about the marsh world, but you've never seen it for yourself. Since we have some time now, I'll take you to the marsh world for a visit now," said Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan took out the Jeweled Cave Golden Toad.

He let out the Dragon Horns Mysterious Turtle and left it in the Mother of Bloodbath's care before telling Wen Yu to enter the Jeweled Cave Golden Toad.

Next, Lin Yuan took the Jeweled Cave Golden Toad with him to the Spirit Lock spatial zone and entered the marsh world through Klein Hub.

He let Wen Yu out when they entered the marsh world.

After he took Wen Yu on tour around the territory, Lin Yuan brought her back to the main world.

Wen Yu sat down on the water rhinoceros leather sofa as she took in the fact that Lin Yuan had already gotten the lay of the land in the marsh world.

The marsh world was much more suitable for human habitation than the abyssal world because the abyssal world experienced year-long high temperatures and a lack of rain, and the ground was covered with sharp rocks. No plant-type feys could grow there. It was also very difficult to breed furry beast-type feys in such an environment because their fur would trap heat and cause them to overheat and die.

Lin Yuan would also receive a share of the resources earned by the faction that Long Tao managed without lifting a hand or supplying labor.

Since Lin Yuan had already arranged and prepared everything in the abyssal world, Wen Yu did not have to come up with another plan.

At that moment, Wen Yu recalled the message Duan He sent two days ago.

She waved her hand, and paper started flying around the room. As the paper flew around the room, words appeared on the sheets before landing back on the table as a new set of documents.

Wen Yu handed the documents to Lin Yuan and said, "Young Master, Indigo Azure City wants to deepen their relationship with you and purchase more Bronze/Epic feys. They also want to expand their order of feys beyond just the Hot Spring Slugs.

"You were not back yet, so I called the Indigo Azure Guard Captain when I heard about the matter. I learned that Cloud Lake City and Mountain Bell City would also like to work with us. Both of these cities are larger than Indigo Azure City.

"I sent a Faceless Paper to Duan He so he can change his appearance to meet with and discuss business with the two cities. It goes without saying that you have the last say about whether we work with them. It's likely that the two cities are so anxious for Creation Master resources because they heard the news about the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift opening.

"Law Source Crystals are not a rare resource to the major cities because they can gather them in hordes during the dimensional rift active period that takes place every ten years. You can increase your price, so it benefits both you and Indigo Azure City."

Lin Yuan frowned slightly but quickly realized what Wen Yu meant.

She had heard about Cloud Lake City and Mountain Bell City from Indigo Azure City.

If he increased his asking price for Cloud Lake City and Mountain Bell City while keeping Indigo Azure City's price the same, Indigo Azure City would essentially become one of Sky City's branch factions. Rêađ lat𝒆st ch𝒂pters on n𝒐/v/𝒆/l(b)i𝒏.c𝒐m

This would enable the Indigo Azure Guard Captain to develop an even more positive impression of Sky City that went beyond a normal trading relationship.

Wen Yu's method would involve pulling strings and solidifying their relationship with the Infigo Azure Guard Captain.

Feng Dong had also been the one to spread the news to Raging Waves City.

From the way that Feng Dong spread the news of a collaboration that could bring prosperity to three other major cities, it could be seen that he was a generous person. It was either that or he had a big mouth.

If Sky City kept the price the same for Indigo Azure City while increasing the price for Cloud Lake City and Mountain Bell City, Feng Dong would be able to boost his pride, and he might let more cities know about the benefits of working with Sky City.

Duan He had been training with the white-clothed followers.

It might be better for Duan He and all the white-clothed followers to put on the Faceless Paper so they could meet with the major cities to discuss business.

Lin Yuan thought,?I will have to burn the midnight oil often the next month.

However, burning the midnight oil was the only way for Lin Yuan to increase his spirit qi professional rank.

Although he would not receive as much spirit qi by evolving Bronze/Epic feys as he would evolving them to Silver and Gold grade, this would bring him greater financial gain.

After all, the entire faction was currently solely dependent on Lin Yuan.

However, everything started small and would eventually snowball.

It would be enough for Lin Yuan if he could easily evolve to become an A-rank spirit qi professional before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Lin Yuan said to Wen Yu, "I will go and contact the Guard Captains of Cloud Lake City and Mountain Bell City."

Lin Yuan's mindset changed, and he said, "Wen Yu, tell the Elemental Paper to produce a Faceless Paper for me."

Wen Yu did not understand why Lin Yuan needed the Faceless Paper. But since he had made the request, she was not going to turn him down.

Soon, a light yellow paper appeared in Wen Yu's hand. She handed the paper to Lin Yuan and said, "Young Master, paste the Faceless Paper on your face. It will change your features by about 80%. Once the change takes place, no one will be able to recognize you."

Chapter 1477: I Have More Than Enough

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Besides using the Faceless Paper to change your appearance as you please, I can also control it to create a custom appearance. But once you put on the Faceless Paper, you won't be able to remove the effects on your own. Only the Elemental Paper can recall the Faceless Paper. Otherwise, the Faceless Paper won't be damaged even if you receive a scratch on your face."

Lin Yuan chose the former option without hesitation. He planned to use the Faceless Paper to make his features plainer so he would be able to investigate Whale Ocean Commerce by pretending to register to be one of their Creation Master.

Lin Yuan placed the light yellow paper on his face. He felt as though something was caressing his face, followed by slight itchiness.

However, the itch disappeared quickly.

There were no mirrors in the Return from Faraway Mansion's main hall. Findd new 𝒔tories on nov/e(l)

However, the white ceramic vase on the table with fresh flowers could produce a perfect reflection.

From his reflection in the ceramic vase, Lin Yuan saw that his features had indeed been transformed into a plainer version. Now, no one would be able to pick him out from a crowd.

Lin Yuan was very satisfied with the result. However, he had no clue that Wen Yu had a completely different opinion from him.

When Wen Yu first laid eyes on Lin Yuan after using Faceless Paper, she also felt that his features had become plainer.

But when she took a second look, she realized that this was not the case.

Previously, his features had been exquisitely handsome, and his beauty had suppressed his charisma and bone structure.

But now that his appearance was plainer, there was nothing in the way of his charisma and bone structure.

Now, Lin Yuan might appear normal at first glance. But as long as the person looked at him a second time, they would find that he was eye-catching.

But this would not affect Lin Yuan using the Faceless Paper to blend into a crowd.

Wen Yu was not one to focus on looks. But this Lin Yuan, with plainer looks and more outstanding aura and bone structure, was much more attractive to her.

Wen Yu's heart started to race sitting next to Lin Yuan, and she said softly, "Young Master, if you want to stop using Faceless Paper, I can help you remove it. It won't be ruined when removed. You will be able to put it on again to change your looks later. However, if you use a different Faceless Paper, your features might not change in the same way."

Lin Yuan patted his face and found that his face felt exactly the same as how it always felt. He could not tell that his features had been changed at all.

The Faceless Paper's ability to transform features was unmatched.

When Wen Yu removed Faceless Paper, Lin Yuan stored the light yellow paper away and asked, "Wen Yu, you said that you wanted to talk to me about the Astronomical Parliament. Is something wrong?"

Wen Yu immediately activated the Astronomical Parliament, and a cat's eye stone appeared in the middle of her forehead. The cat's eye stone started to shine, and Wen Yu was transported to the constellations.

Lin Yuan realized that the Astronomical Parliament had evolved into 3 Stars, and there seemed to be a large amount of spiritual energy hidden within it that was evolving the Astronomical Parliament with every passing second.

Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the Astronomical Parliament and saw that its Stars were changing, but every other part of its data was the same.

He looked at Wen Yu as he did not know what Wen Yu wanted to talk about.

"Young Master, the Astronomical Parliament has evolved to 3 Stars. It's now at a crossroads. I can use spiritual energy to decide which direction it should go in. The first direction is the same as in the past, where more people can be pulled into it to fill up the north-star constellation seats. The other road will deepen the relationship between the Astronomical Parliament and the members of the north-star constellation seats."

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Elaborate on it. How will the relationship between the contractors of the north-star constellation be deepened?"

Lin Yuan felt that bringing more people into the Astronomical Parliament was not necessarily a good thing.

Wen Yu only had enough spiritual energy to hold a parliamentary meeting once every week and only for half an hour.

In such a situation, if more people suddenly joined the Astronomical Parliament, the time given to each contractor of the north-star constellation would be greatly reduced. There would not even be enough time to chat about the weather.

Lin Yuan would not have enough time to use Star Spirit Seat to solve problems.

Hence, Lin Yuan was leaning toward the latter road.

But he wanted to know in what way and how the relationship would be deepened.

The Astronomical Parliament was comprised of a mutually beneficial group. Hence, sufficient time to communicate was necessary.

Lin Yuan would prefer to keep the net smaller than large and spread out.

"In order to deepen the relationship with the contractors of the north-star constellation seats, I will need to use a large amount of spiritual energy. But once the relationship has been deepened, we will not only be able to pull the contractors into the Astronomical Parliament at set times while they are sleeping, but the Astronomical Parliament can also communicate with the contractors through their constellations," explained Wen Yu.

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

If this was true, the Astronomical Parliament would turn from one-way communication to two-way communication.

However, given Lin Yuan's understanding of Star Spirit Seat, this link would require Wen Yu to use up her spiritual energy and maybe even other things.

But before Lin Yuan could ask more, Wen Yu said, "However, using this long-distance connection would require willpower and law energy. I have to possess enough willpower and law energy to communicate with the contractors through Star Spirit Seat. It will take a big toll on me."

Lin Yuan cocked his head and said, "If all you need is willpowers and laws, I have more than enough."

Chapter 1478: New Member of the Astronomical Parliament

If the Astronomical Parliament needed other things to deepen the relationship with contractors, Lin Yuan might not have agreed so readily.

Although Lin Yuan had the Spirit Lock spatial zone and could quickly collect a large amount of riches, the resources he produced in the Spirit Lock spatial zone were too rare.

He had placed all the jade-textured wood to the side. He had nurtured these jade-textured wood to build the Return from Faraway Mansion's basement.

He instructed the Spirit Craftsmen from Heavenly Craft Pavilion to use the powder Hu Quan put extra work into to make luxury goods that the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce sold off.

As for the jade-textured wood that was left over, Lin Yuan stored them away so they could be used for building the Sky City on the Floating Island Whale.

Although he already had the bones from three mature Island Whales that he could use to create the structure of Sky City, he needed more materials to beautify the pillars and other infrastructure.

Lin Yuan was used to using jade-textured wood to craft. Hence, he planned on building Sky City in the same style as the Return from Faraway Mansion. Thus, he would not supply any more jade-textured wood to the market and only provide them to his acquaintances.

The most valuable things currently stored in the Spirit Lock spatial zone were the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls, heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, and the Bronze/Epic feys that he evolved.

Normally, precious spiritual ingredients did not appear on the market.

For example, even if Lin Yuan went bankrupt one day, he would not use the Dragon Saliva Whale Fragrance and Island Whale brain oil to trade for resources.

Hence, there were some resources that Lin Yuan could not promise away.

However, Lin Yuan had too many willpowers and laws.

It would be difficult for other people to get their hands on willpowers and laws.

But the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen could draw out willpowers and laws from the Law Crystals of Fantasy and Myth Breed feys.

Lin Yuan had never stopped searching for the Law Crystals of Fantasy and Myth Breed feys.

Lin Yuan removed the willpowers and laws from the bodies of feys before he gave them to Duan He to give to Purple Demon.

Now, the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen's skirt had many willpowers and laws.

He did not have use for the unorthodox and incomplete laws and wilpowers. He would not mind using those up as a means of cleaning up the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen's skirt.

Wen Yu blinked when she heard what Lin Yuan said.

She remembered Lin Yuan saying the same thing after he used willpowers and laws in the first Astronomical Parliament's parliamentary meeting.

However, she would require many more laws and willpowers to use the Astronomical Parliament to communicate with the contractors of the north-south constellation seats.

"Young Master, even if you have no lack of willpowers and laws, I will really need a lot of them," said Wen Yu.

Lin Yuan smiled and started explaining to Wen Yu, "My sacred source lifeform can extract laws and willpowers from the Law Crystals of Fantasy and Myth Breed feys. Don't worry. If you really need an overly large quantity, we can trade for some Fantasy Breed fey bodies from the cities. We can also trade for Law Crystal fragments when we're trading the Golden Lotus Brocade Pearls with the top factions."

Wen Yu finally relaxed.

She knew long ago that Lin Yuan had contracted a sacred source lifeform.

Wen Yu had no idea what Lin Yuan's sacred source lifeform was, and she had never thought to ask Lin Yuan.

But now, Lin Yuan was telling her about his sacred source lifeform's ability of his own accord. This meant that he trusted her implicitly.

A wave of warmth washed over Wen Yu, and her lips curled.

She composed herself before saying, "Young Master, if I deepen the relationship with the contractors of the north-south constellation seats, the Astronomical Parliament will only be able to contain seven people at most, including me. However, I can extend the parliamentary meeting from half an hour to 45 minutes."

Lin Yuan's eyebrow twitched.

This was not considered a limitation but good news to Lin Yuan.

An extension of 15 minutes was a 50% increase in time. This would enable Lin Yuan to communicate better with the members of the Astronomical Parliament.

From a certain angle, seven people were not a low number.

Excluding himself and Wen Yu, the Astronomical Parliament could contain five other people at the same time.

Su Yiren had already met up with him at the Divine Wood Federation. Although she had formed a contract with a north-south constellation seat, she no longer needed to attend the parliamentary meetings.

Lin Yuan would be able to meet up with Ta Lei at the border of the Divine Wood Federation soon.

This would open up another space in the Astronomical Parliament.

Currently, the only people who needed to enter the Astronomical Parliament were Yin Lin, Bei Xu, and Ta Lei. Discover 𝒏ew chapters at novelbi𝒏.co𝒎

This meant that he could pick two new people to join during the next Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting.

Lin Yuan was very excited about this.

By giving the contractors of the north-south constellation seats the ability to contact the Astronomical Parliament themselves, there would be no need for every member to join the parliamentary meeting each time.

This would not prevent Wen Yu from increasing the number of contractors and would also enable the Astronomical Parliament to increase its Stars quicker.

There were two ways for the Astronomical Parliament to increase its Stars. The first was to absorb spiritual-type ingredients. The second method was using Star Spirit Seat to consume laws and willpowers.

It could be said that the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen and Astronomical Parliament could form a symbiotic relationship.

Now that Lin Yuan had decided on the direction for the Astronomical Parliament, Wen Yu prepared to go to the training room to set up the ritual for the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan called the Guard Captains of Cloud Lake City and Mountain Bell City.

He repeated the same script to both of them: he would evolve their standard feys to Bronze/Epic at a price of six Law Source Crystals per fey.

With Feng Dong's glowing review, both Guard Captains were eager to work with Lin Yuan, and they put down an order of 1,000 feys.

However, the Guard Captains of the Cloud Lake City and Mountain Bell City had never met Lin Yuan. Hence, unlike Wang Ce, they only paid a deposit.

Chapter 1479: The Young Man in Despair

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Once this deal was sealed, Lin Yuan would gain 12,000 Law Source Crystals. This would be enough to sustain the Sacred Source Wielding Queen for some time.

From the large number of high-quality Bronze feys that Cloud Lake City and Mountain Bell City required, it meant that they were determined to build representative cities in the abyssal world.

Lin Yuan knew enough about dimensional worlds to know how difficult it was to harvest resources from dimensional worlds.

They would have to fight countless battles with abyss demons before they were able to harvest the resources.

Once the Class 6 dimensional rift opened and the representative cities were built, the spirit qi professionals would inevitably become more bloodthirsty. Their training in the abyssal world would cause them to become more determined and persevering.

It could be said that the abyssal world was the best battleground for the Radiance Federation.

However, the members of royalty should be awarded the credit for discovering the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift, clearing out the area of powerful dimensional lifeforms, and enabling this battleground to be formed.

Lin Yuan agreed on such a low price with the Guard Captains of Cloud Lake City and Mountain Bell City because he did not want to take advantage of the opening of the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift to amp up the price and leave them with the impression that he was greedy.

Even if Lin Yuan set a price of 10 or 15 Law Source Crystals at this juncture where all of the factions were recruiting Creation Masters, the Guard Captains of Cloud Lake City and Mountain Alps City would eventually have to begrudgingly agree.

Lin Yuan added an extra Law Source Crystal on top of the original five as a gesture to Feng Dong.

He had already acted in a friendly manner to Feng Dong. But Sky City's future attitude toward him would depend on how many orders he brought Sky City.

Cloud Lake City and Mountain Bell City were Indigo Azure City's neighbors, and Duan He was currently off training with the white-clothed followers.

Lin Yuan called Duan He right after he ended the call with the Guard Captains of Cloud Lake City and Mountain Bell City. Rêađ lat𝒆st ch𝒂pters on n𝒐/v/𝒆/l(b)i𝒏.c𝒐m

During the call, he gave Duan He an order to apply the Faceless Paper to all the white-clothed followers and to travel between Cloud Lake City, Mountain Bell City, and Raging Waves City.

Duan He immediately promised that he would carry out the job perfectly.

Lin Yuan had finished fulfilling the orders and just needed Duan He to deliver them.

Every white-clothed follower that Sky City recruited had comprehended at least three Willpower Runes.

These elites from the Radiance Federation who had fallen off the wagon mostly had weak feys due to their background. However, with Lin Yuan's supply of resources and Duan He's caring and nurturing, all the white-clothed followers were completely different from who they used to be.

Their swords had been sheathed for too long, and it was time for them to enter the stage.

This task would be the best chance for the white-clothed followers to start swinging around their swords.

…

"I have awakened a Willpower Rune and am willing to be your servant. Please let my sister go."

A young man was kneeling on a black stone floor and kowtowing violently. His head knocking on the ground produced a deafening banging sound.

The shiny stone ground was soon covered with flesh and blood.

A large bump rose on the young man's head. There was a gash on the bump, and blood was steadily spilling out of it and onto the black stone floor.

There was a middle-aged woman around 40 years old in front of the young man.

The middle-aged woman did not even glance at the young man.

But when she saw his blood staining the ground, a look of disdain crossed her originally expressionless face. She looked as repulsed as when she was looking at dirt on the ground.

When the middle-aged woman frowned, the two men behind her hurriedly picked up the kneeling young man and prepared to throw him out.

This was when the middle-aged woman stood up and said, "Stop!"

She walked up to the young man and snarled, "You sure did come up with a good scheme. Did you say that you have a Willpower Rune and want to become my servant because you want to cheat a fey out of me? Your sister should be honored that the Sixth Young Master took a liking to her. IF she stays by his side and serves him well, you might wind up with a good life too!"

The middle-aged woman picked up the jade wheel on the table and walked into the castle.

As she walked away, she rubbed the jade wheel on her face to massage her skin. She had a very cavalier air about her.

The dizzy young man with tears in his eyes was left kneeling on the ground as he clenched his jaw and tried to keep his tears from spilling out.

His sister was helpless to say no when the Sixth Young Master propositioned her.

This was why he had gone behind her back to reveal the secret she had forbidden him from speaking.

The two men beside him had various images tattooed all over them. One of them had tattoos covering half of his face, and this made him appear even more vicious.

When he saw the young man struggling to hold in his tears, the man said in amusement, "Boy, the Elder of our castle hates seeing people cry. Any person who dares to cry in the castle ends up regretting it. If a single tear drips down your face, I won't need to toss you out."

A malevolent expression appeared on the man's face. It was as though he would kill the young man the moment a tear rolled down his face.

This was exactly what was going to happen.

The other man snapped. "Why are you wasting your breath on this brat? We can just toss him out and get him out of our hair! Now that this boy's sister is serving the Sixth Young Master, we might have to send her back to this brat sometime in the future."

The man had intentionally intensified his tone to provoke the young man.

Right as the last word left the man's lips, he felt the young man's muscles tensing.

This was a bad habit of men. They loved looking at a creature flailing around helplessly in the depths of despair.

The young man's nails were digging into his palm. However, the pain in his forehead could not compare to the ache in his heart.

His parents had died early, and he only had his sister to depend on for as long as he could remember.

He was well aware of how much his sister doted on him.

He had thought about the day that his sister would get married. Although he was slightly resistant to the idea, he was not against it.

However, the Sixth Young Master of this castle was a sick demon.

In less than three days, his sister would be killed by the Sixth Young Master, or she would take her own life after being pushed to the brink by the humiliation she had to suffer.

Chapter 1480: Surrounded by Black Figures

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Given the young man's understanding of his sister, he felt that the latter possibility was more likely.

The young man was enveloped by a cocoon of despair.

At that moment, he longed for a powerful force that could charge into the castle and take his sister away from this place while massacring all the evil people inside, including the Sixth Young Master.

Suddenly, he was hit by a spell of dizziness. After banging his head on the ground so many times, he was concussed, and his consciousness started to slowly fade away. Findd new 𝒔tories on nov/e(l)

The two tattooed men lost interest when they saw that the young man had fainted. They walked out of the castle and tossed him out like a piece of garbage.

The young man was dressed in rags and was in a sorry state. It was evident that he did not fit in with the imposing air of the castle.

Some time passed, and a gust of icy breeze woke the young man up. He opened his eyes and sucked in a painful breath of cold air.

The cold air in his lungs pulled him to his senses.

He turned to glance at the black castle before dashing back to his house.

Although there seemed to be no one around the black castle, there had to be guards hiding in the shadows.

By now, there was no way that his sister was unaware of his visit to the black castle. If he lingered any longer, he would probably be killed by the guards.

Since he could not help his sister, he did not want to add to her sadness by dying.

At that moment, he prayed that a miracle would descend.

His mother had given him his first tattoo, and his father had given him his second. After his parents' deaths, his sister tattooed them on him.

He remembered begging his sister to tattoo the two of them next to their parents so their family could be together again.

The young man clenched his fists tightly and slammed his fist into the wall of the alley.

There was an Earth Mother Elder in the black castle who held a middle-class knight position in the Spirit Mother Federation.

The rank above Earth Mother was Sky Mother.

Class 1 to 3 Creation Masters and experts below emperor-class could be Earth Mothers. Thearch-class and above experts could be Sky Mothers.

There could only be one Spirit Mother in the entire Spirit Mother Federation. This person was the only Class 5 Creation Master in the Spirit Mother Federation.

There was no royalty in the Spirit Mother Federation.

Experts who were thearch-class and above could be Spirit Mother Guards whose job was to protect the Spirit Mother.

The knights were a well-oiled machine.

The Earth Mothers worked for the Sky Mothers, and the Earth Mothers could also receive rewards from the Sky Mothers. The Sky Mothers all worshiped the Spirit Mother.

The knights were such an overwhelming force that the young man could not hope to retaliate.

If a god truly descended and enabled him to defeat the Earth Mother Elder in the black castle, the Sky Mother who had sent guards to watch over the black castle would definitely kill him.

Even if he managed to defeat the Sky Mother's guards, the Spirit Mother and Spirit Mother Guards would eventually come after him.

The only way to change his fate was for him to become a Creation Master and gain the rank of Earth Mother.

Unfortunately, he was too young and could not afford the 10 Spirit Mother dollars that were required to pay a Creation Master to test him for Creation Masters talent.

But when he thought about his sister, he felt a burst of courage.

If he could save his sister, he was willing to sacrifice everything.

Once he returned home, the combined effects of the loss of blood, nerves, and exhaustion caused him to collapse.

His fist remained clenched even as he fell asleep, and the blood seeping from between his fingers soon stained the blankets, turning them as fiery red as his will.

…

A worn but large boat sailed across the waves.

The wood that the boat was made of prevented water from seeping in and rotting from occurring. It also gave the boat a stone-like quality.

There was an uneven mesh attached to the boat. A layer of metal spiritual ingredients was stuck to the mesh.

There were also two large lanterns at the head and tail of the boat.

Previously, there were high-grade strange flames in the lanterns that were extremely bright.

However, the strange flames in the lantern at the back of the boat had been removed by someone.

At dusk, as the wind and waves quieted down, the surface of the sea was especially quiet.

However, hundreds of five-meter-long black figures could be seen below the water near the boat.

Occasionally, one of the black figures would break the surface of the water and reveal the sharp spikes that covered their body.

If the black figures increased their speed, the spikes would blur together to resemble wooden boards.

Constant thudding noises were coming from the bottom of the boat.

Evidently, the black figures were knocking against the bottom of the boat.

Luckily, the wood at the bottom of the boat was rock-textured and was connected by metal spirituals to further fortify them.

Nonetheless, scratches were still left on the bottom of the boat.

The sailors sat around the deck. Only a few of them were still working, like those who were adjusting the sail and the one in the crow's nest.

Their hands, lips, and skin were dry to the point of cracking. All of them looked extremely haggard.

It was strange for someone to be so deprived of water when they were surrounded by liquid.

Although seawater was not drinkable, one could scoop up a pail and allow the water to evaporate and condense back into clean water droplets that would be enough to sustain a boatload of sailors for a day.

However, this did not account for the situation where there were hundreds of black figures below the water.

Some sailors had taken the risk of scoping up a pail of water and discovered the black figures' strong leaping abilities.

There had been nowhere for them to find their footing in the water. But using the pail as a ledge, one of the black figures had managed to make it onto the deck.

As it squirmed and flailed around clumsily on the deck, its movements were still quicker than that of the fleeing sailors, and it was only killed after five sailors sacrificed their lives.

From the way that the sailors looked unbothered by the black figures, it indicated that they had been trapped for some time.

The black figure that had leaped on board had been killed and provided the sailors with a source of food.

However, none of them dared to eat any more of the black figure's flesh because the more they ate, the hungrier they became.

Consuming food while being dehydrated at the same time was no different from committing suicide.

Chapter 1481: Leo, Libra, It's Been Long!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was much easier to die of dehydration than starvation.

The sailors walked out of the cabin with sorrowful expressions hanging off their faces.

Wo Lun's chest tightened as he looked at the sailors who he had spent so many years with.

The black figures were the Saw Fin Bite Sharks, and they occupied every Violent Wind Federation's sailor's nightmares.

In order to increase the distance they could travel, the Violent Wind Federation's boats' propelling mechanisms were built at the bottom of the boats.

However, the Saw Fin Bite Sharks had interacted enough with the Violent Wind Federation's boats to know the best way to destroy the boats.

The Saw Fin Bite Sharks would corner small turtle-species feys into the space at the bottom of the boat to block the propelling mechanisms.

As such, the boats would not be able to move even if they had backup sources of energy.

In order to move, the sailors would have to remove the blockage from the propelling mechanisms.

Every mature Saw Fin Bite Shark was at pinnacle Gold grade.

There had to be a Platinum Saw Fin Bite Shark in such a large pod.

No sailor would be able to survive for longer than ten seconds once they entered the water because they would immediately be chomped into bloody pieces by the Saw Fin Bite Shark.

Suddenly, the sailor in the crow's nest fell out and landed on the deck.

The crow's neck was ten meters tall, and the unconscious sailor died upon contact.

All the other sailors rushed over to the fallen sailor. When they confirmed that he was dead, a few drops of tears rolled down their severely dehydrated faces.

Wo Lun knew that the sailor had fallen from the crow's nest because he was overly dehydrated.

If these sailors continued to be trapped here, they would not last another two days.

Dear readers! you are reading on our content copy copy and search this link " /3NSnQtR " to support us

The sea would then claim another ghost boat.

Wo Lun was already a middle-aged man, over 30 years old. However, he was still as passionate as any young man.

In the sea where peril was abound, the Violent Wind Federation's special boat design would enable the sailors to earn a tidy sum every time they went out to search for resources.

When he was young, Wo Lun often spoke about his dreams, and he continued working hard at sea even after he reached middle age.

However, at this moment, he would choose his and his friends' survival over his dream.

Wo Lun went to the cabin and took out the bottle of alcohol that his master had brewed.

Although alcohol would not quench their thirst, it would give the sailors some respite.

As he looked at the lives before him that were slowly rotting away, he felt that everything he saw as important in the past was suddenly insignificant.

He and his friends could only continue chasing their dreams if they survived.

All the sailors were alcoholics and usually lunged toward any wine bottle that entered their sight line.

They would make a beeline for the bars and pubs every time they returned to the harbor.

However, these sailors turned down the wine bottle and said they could still hold on.

Wo Lun had taken out the wine because he felt that his friends' lives were more important than his hopes.

But now, his friends were refusing to drink the wine because they knew how precious it was to him.

A painful ache squeezed Wo Lun's heart. He could not take it any longer and forcefully uncorked the wine.

The wine's fragrance immediately flowed out of the bottle and permeated the air.

Wo Lun said to the youngest sailor, "Little Monkey, bring me some bowls."

Little Monkey immediately ran up to fetch the bowls.

Wo Lun saw that there was a black cloth around Little Monkey's wrist.

He remembered that the Saw Fin Bite Shark meat that Little Monkey had served him yesterday had been cooked until it was warm and soft.

Little Monkey was usually very playful and always clashed with the older sailors.

Wo Lun always said that Little Monkey was too disobedient. But now, it seemed that Little Monkey also had a considerate side to him.

Little Monkey brought over a stack of bowls. As Wo Lun filled them with wine, he realized that they were one bowl short.

Just as Wo Lun was about to ask Little Monkey about it, Little Monkey waved his hand and said, "Big Brother Wo Lun, I have the night shift today at the crow's nest, so I won't be drinking!"

Wo Lun hugged Little Monkey and fed him two bowls of wine before he said, "You don't have to take the night shift at the crow's nest today. I'll do it!"

Little Monkey licked his lips as though he was savoring the remnants of the wine and said, "Big Brother Wo Lun, I can't let you do that!"

Wo Lun waved his hand and replied, "We can't move the boat, and I have nothing else to do. All of you should have a good rest in the cabin tonight while I'm up in the crow's nest. The matter is settled!"

Wo Lun picked up the bowl and took a large gulp.

Wo Lun usually controlled the sailors with an iron fist and forbade anyone from drinking while they were walking.

But now, as he looked at Little Monkey and the other sailors, Wo Lun felt as though he would succumb to the grief and misery he had been trying to keep down.

That night, Wo Lun leaned back against the pillar of the crow's nest and summoned the Tied Armor Sea Fern.

He instructed it to fortify the crow's nest so no one would be able to fall from it.

Wo Lun looked up at the moon and sighed heavily.

He used to love clear skies. But now, he wished for the skies to turn cloudy and for a rainstorm to descend.

After midnight, as cracks of dawn started to peek through the dark sky, the strong-willed Wo Lun gave in and fell asleep.

Before he lost consciousness, a thought appeared in his head. Ne/w novel chapt𝒆rs are published on no/vel( /m

I'm willing to give up anything if it means that my friends and I can survive.

…

The constellations shone as the milky way flowed through the maze of stars.

There was beautiful starlight in the middle of the milky way.

A long-awaited banquet finally started amongst the stars.

However, there were fewer people than the original six that attended the last Astronomical Parliament.

Su Yiren was not in attendance this time. Instead, she was nurturing the 14 Poppy Fruits.

At that moment, figures appeared in the Andromeda, Perseus, and Leo Minor north-south constellation seats.

The person seated on the Leo Minor seat was excited to see his teacher again.

On the other hand, the people seated on the Andromeda and Perseus seats started to cry when they saw the figure wrapped in countless willpowers and laws seated on the Leo throne.

Yin Lin tried to keep her joy and relief at a reasonable level as she said, "Leo, Libra, it's been long!"

Chapter 1482: Bei Xu's Hug

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Yin Lin spoke, she could not figure out how she was feeling at that moment because her feelings were all in a jumble.

Relief, the joy of regaining hope, and being released from bitter thoughts were all tangled within her.

Regardless, she was now once again looking at the man wrapped in thousands of willpowers and laws. He was still here!

Lin Yuan said apologetically to Yin Lin, "The last Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting should have taken place as per schedule. But something came up and prevented the meeting from taking place. However, there will be no repeat of this in the future."

While Lin Yuan spoke, Wen Yu studied Yin Lin.

As a woman, Wen Yu's senses were very sharp. She could tell from the way Yin Lin spoke to Lin Yuan that she had special feelings for him that were beyond that of friendship.

Her feelings were as strong as the Mother of Bloodbath when it was trying to hold back from running into Lin Yuan's arms.

Wen Yu glanced at Lin Yuan and let out a breath of relief.

The young man next to her was too amazing.

Frankly, Yin Lin and Lin Yuan were of comparable statutes.

Luckily, the Radiance Federation had never practiced arranged marriages, and the Moon Empress could not force Lin Yuan to marry if he was unwilling.

Otherwise, it would be possible for Yin Lin to become Lin Yuan's wife when she met up with him in real life and made her status known.

Yin Lin did not know what Wen Yu was thinking.

If Yin Lin was aware of it, she would immediately burst into tears. But she would eventually start to wonder if she felt gratitude or something more for him.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to continue speaking, a figure formed from willpowers and laws ran up to Lin Yuan and wrapped its arms around him.

This person was Bei Xu.

Bei Xu's action stunned Wen Yu. But soon after, she frowned.

Although every person in the Astronomical Parliament was formed from willpowers and their soul, Lin Yuan and Wen Yu were the only two who could pass judgment on the souls in the Astronomical Parliament because they were the only ones sitting on the golden thrones.

Nothing that Bei Xu did could harm Lin Yuan.

However, Wen Yu felt that Bei Xu's action was too inappropriate.

But it did not take long for a smile to spread across Lin Yuan's face.

Lin Yuan spread the arms of his body comprised of thousands of laws and willpowers and returned the hug. This was his way of greeting Bei Xu after their extended separation.

He patted Bei Xu's back and did not let go until Bei Xu calmed down.

Bei Xu had been beside himself with surprise and excitement.

But now that he had regained his composure and thought about what he had just done, a blush bloomed on his cheeks.

Bei Xu used to be a lowly slave with the stone insect curse.

Lin Yuan was the one who rescued him from that inhumane existence and gave him a new lease on life.

Lin Yuan had prepared potions to evolve his feys and knowledge for Bei Xu.

Bei Xu used to be completely alone. But now, he saw Lin Yuan as the most precious thing in his life.

Bei Xu scratched his head in embarrassment and returned to the Perseus seat.

Ta Lei's lips twitched when he saw Bei Xu return to his seat.

Even I haven't hugged Teacher! Why did Perseus get to hug him before me?

Ta Lei had the mentality of a child. Just as he was about to go up to hug Lin Yuan, the latter said seriously, "Corona Australis will not be participating in this parliamentary meeting."

Bei Xu and Ta Lei were left stupefied when they heard what Lin Yuan said.

The three of them clearly remembered that Corona Australis had formed a contract with her seat during the last parliamentary meeting.

So why was she not at this parliamentary meeting? Could she have offended Leo and Libra and ended up chased out? Or could she have met with some danger during the last 14 days? ALL new 𝒄hapters 𝒐n n𝒐v(𝒆)

While the three of them allowed their imaginations to run wild, Lin Yuan said, "I have already met up with Corona Australis in the real world and will be corresponding with her through physical means. She will not be attending any of the parliamentary meetings in the future."

A look of realization came over Yin Lin, Bei Xu, and Ta Lei's faces.

Envy soon replaced this expression because they all wanted to meet up with Lin Yuan in real life. All of them wondered what he really looked like.

Yin Lin remembered that Lin Yuan told her to go to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce when she arrived at the Radiance Federation to trade for the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

"Leo, I will arrive at the Radiance Federation in less than a month. Will I be able to meet you if I go to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce?" asked Yin Lin.

Yin Lin's tone was very hopeful.

Lin Yuan shook his head, and Yin Lin's expression immediately fell.

"You probably won't be able to meet me when you go to the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce to trade for heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. However, you will definitely have the chance to see me during your stay in the Radiance Federation," said Lin Yuan.

Yin Lin's face immediately stretched into a smile.

She was going to be able to see him on this trip. This was the best reward for her.

Yin Lin could not help but imagine what Lin Yuan looked like in real life.

After chatting for a while more with Yin Lin, Lin Yuan turned to Bei Xu and asked, "It must be hard to work underground. Do you have any problems or issues that you need help with?"

Bei Xu hurriedly replied, "Leo, I have already formed a team, and all of them have contracted source-type lifeforms. Recently, I have been leading them to venture into Class 2 and below dimensional rifts. This has trained their combat power and enabled us to gain more resources."

A thought struck Bei Xu, and he said, "Leo, I have stored up many ores in the bat-shaped ring you gave me. They are much better than the ones I used to dig up. Leo, how can I deliver these goods to you?"

Lin Yuan was rendered speechless. He did not expect Bei Xu to want to give him all the resources that he had risked his life to obtain.

Chapter 1483: Calling a New Member

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan had no way of obtaining these resources in the past. But now that the Astronomical Parliament had reached 3 Stars, Lin Yuan could use the Star Spirit Seat to exchange goods with Bei Xu.

However, it would require many more laws than if Lin Yuan was only sending goods to Bei Xu.

Lin Yuan had no need for the resources from Class 1 and 2 subterranean dimensional rifts.

He looked into Bei Xu's hopeful eyes and said, "You can try to temper the resources into simple equipment that you can wear. Although your subordinates have contracted source-type lifeforms, I don't think they will be able to defeat a normal Class 1 subterranean lifeform."

Lin Yuan felt that Bei Xu was either getting good training by bringing these subordinates around or gaining a burden by having to protect them from danger constantly.

There were no Creation Masters in Bei Xu's group, and none of them were able to use the spiritual ingredients they found to increase the power of their source-type lifeforms.

Lin Yuan was able to send Bei Xu resources a few times, but it would be too expensive for him to have to accommodate the resources of Bei Xu's entire group.

He was not going to do this because it was not going to change their current situation.

There were only two ways for them to change their current circumstances. ALL new 𝒄hapters 𝒐n n𝒐v(𝒆)

The first would be for Lin Yuan to send a Hundred Questions Beast to Bei Xu. The Hundred Questions Beast with pinnacle Class 3 Creation Master power would be able to increase the power of Bei Xu's group in a short period.

However, the Hundred Questions Beasts were very important and could change the balance of the entire main world.

Even if Lin Yuan sent the Hundred Questions Beast to Bei Xu, it would immediately be killed when its abilities were exposed in the Grotto Continent.

The other way would be for Genius to use Connected Tails to teach Bei Xu Creation Master knowledge.

The body of every person in the Astronomical Parliament was comprised of their soul and willpowers. This was insufficient for Lin Yuan to tell if Bei Xu had Creation Master talent.

He would have to wait and see if Bei Xu was able to concoct spirit fluids after Creation Master knowledge was transferred to him.

If Bei Xu could prove that he had Creation Master talent, he would be able to be self-sufficient. If he did not have Creation Master talent, it would be a problem for Lin Yuan.

Bei Xu felt slightly embarrassed and guilty when he heard what Lin Yuan said.

It was true that none of the people in his team could fight. When they were clearing out dimensional rifts, Bei Xu had to expend the most effort to protect his subordinates.

Indeed, these subordinates greatly affected the rate at which Bei Xu gathered resources.

Nonetheless, Bei Xu could not abandon them because he could not bear to do so and because Lin Yuan had instructed him to form a faction. Without these subordinates, he would not be able to form a faction because Bei Xu would not count as one, no matter how strong he was as an individual.

When Bei Xu was left at a loss, Lin Yuan stood up and nodded at Wen Yu.

The Leo constellation above his head started to shine, and a strip of light appeared below his throne, leading all the way to the Perseus seat that Bei Xu was sitting on.

Lin Yuan did not tell Bei Xu what he was going to do. Instead, he said collectively to Yin Lin, Bei Xu, and Ta Lei, "After today's parliamentary meeting, all of you will be able to use Star Spirit Seat to contact and send me messages at any time. However, any message will come at a great cost so contact the Astronomical Parliament unless the matter is urgent."

Bei Xu, Yin Lin, and Ta Lei were delighted.

Previously, the three of them were only able to enter the Astronomical Parliament when they were asleep. This gave them a heavy sense of anxiety as they were afraid that the Astronomical Parliament would stop opening one day. There was no worse feeling than being stranded.

But now that they could communicate with the Astronomical Parliament, they would be at ease even if they never made use of the ability.

The information that Star Spirit Seat and Connected Tails sent to Bei Xu would only appear in his mind after the parliamentary meeting ended. Lin Yuan would not have to explain for Bei Xu to know what to do.

Lin Yuan would have to spend a large amount of willpowers to transfer Genius' knowledge to Bei Xu.

All these willpowers came from the incomplete bodies of Fantasy Breed feys and had formed the messy images on the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen's skirt.

Once these willpowers were cleared, the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen's skirt would become much prettier.

Lin Yuan asked Ta Lei, "Do you know Phoebe Zhennan City, which is the nearest city to the border of the Divine Wood Federation?"

Ta Lei nodded and said, "Teacher, I have definitely heard of Phoebe Zhennan City. However, once we cross the border, we will probably be killed before we even arrive at Phoebe Zhennan City. The furthest we will get is the border where the merchant groups from the Great Lush Federation are selling goods."

"It's good that you know where Phoebe Zhennan City is. Once you arrive at the border of the Divine Wood Federation, don't take every person in the tribe with you to Phoebe Zhennan City. Tell the stronger people in your tribe to put on disguises and sneak into the Prosperous Chamber of Commerce to meet with President Li Wan. Tell Li Wan that you are there to see Su Yiren, and she will make the arrangements for you," said Lin Yuan.

Ta Lei carefully noted down everything that Lin Yuan said.

Now that Lin Yuan had settled Yin Lin, Bei Xu, and Ta Lei, he was ready to tell Wen Yu to pick a new member for the Astronomical Parliament.

Lin Yuan said to Yin Lin and the rest, "Next, the Astronomical Parliament will invite two new members. In the future, you don't have to attend every weekly parliamentary meeting if you're busy. Now that the Astronomical Parliament has deepened its relationship with you, the constellations will contact you at the start of every parliamentary meeting. You just have to reply, and you will be able to enter the Astronomical Parliament to attend the parliamentary meeting even if you aren't asleep."

Lin Yuan nodded at Wen Yu, and she activated the Astronomical Parliament.

The constellations hidden in the sky started to move, and a figure wrapped in Willpower Runes appeared in the Astronomical Parliament.

This figure looked up at the star-filled sky and the two figures seated on the golden thrones. He wondered if he had arrived at the home of the gods.

Chapter 1484: The Fifth Person, Bu Po

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

While this figure was confused, Lin Yuan and Wen Yu used the Astronomical Parliament's ability to check on this figure's background and experiences.

Both of them frowned, and their faces promptly fell.

Once they saw this person's background, they simultaneously decided that they had to keep this person in the Astronomical Parliament to become the contractor of the fifth north-south constellation seat.

Lin Yuan had helped many people since becoming a spirit qi professional. All of them had their own type of misfortune.

For example, Liu Jie had been injured because of the Insect Queen and plunged from being a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence to a regular person who could not even wield a fey.

Wen Yu's talent had been damaged after she tried to help a friend. She ended up ostracized by her friends.

Qin Lun and Qin Yu had been unable to be under sunlight because they had awakened their beast patterns.

However, this figure was much more unfortunate than Qin Lun, Qin Yu, Wen Yu, and Liu Jie.

Yet, describing this person's experiences as unfortunate was also slightly inaccurate. They were truly tragic.

According to his memories and experiences, Lin Yuan knew that he was a young man who had awakened a Willpower Rune by accident.

From the moment he was born, his life was riddled with misfortune, and there had almost been no opportunity where he could catch a break. The person on the receiving end of all this adversity and mishap was called Bu Po.

The lives of Bu Po and his older sister, the only family left in the world, were a constant struggle.

His sister's kidnapping and forced marriage were just the final straw for this young man.

The root of the young man's troubles was not his misfortune but that he lived in the strange federation, the Spirit Mother Federation.

Lin Yuan was familiar with the Spirit Mother Federation.

The Startling Lines Continent was northwest of the Radiance Federation and was also the closest continent to the Radiance Federation.

However, there was also another federation that was close to the Radiance Federation called the Cold Sand Federation.

Dear readers! you are reading on our content copy copy and search this link " /39hpcn6j " to support us

There were two large federations in the Cold Sand Federation. One of them was the Spirit Mother Federation, where Bu Po lived.

The Spirit Mother Federation and Sand Island Continent were neighbors in the Cold Sand Federation.

Both of these federations had a Class 5 Creation Master each. However, the Sand Island Federation had almost three times more Class 4 Creation Masters than the Spirit Mother Federation.

Nonetheless, both federations were equally matched because of the Spirit Mother Federation's special system of governance.

The Spirit Mother Federation's governance system was split into three levels, the Earth Mother, Sky Mother, and Spirit Mother.

There was only one Spirit Mother in the federation, and the Sky Mothers ruled the Earth Mothers. The Earth Mothers had absolute authority over regular people and could sentence any of them to death as long as they were not going against any laws.

Bu Po's older sister had caught the eye of the youngest son of an Earth Mother. He could not do anything to her without breaking a rule.

But if he married Bu Po's sister, everything he did would be considered a matter of the Earth Mother's household.

Their strict rules were violent and unreasonable.

Even the Spirit Mother was restricted by the Spirit Mother Guards at times.

For example, the Spirit Mother could never get married. Additionally, he had to accept disciples in their prime and teach them how to become Class 5 Creation Masters.

In the Spirit Mother Federation, Class 5 Creation Masters were passed down from generation to generation.

When they talked about the Spirit Mother Federation, Lin Yuan could sense that the Moon Empress did not want to talk too much about it and that she resented the Spirit Mother Federation.

At that time, he had no idea why the Moon Empress abhorred and despised the Spirit Mother Federation.

Now that Lin Yuan understood the circumstances in the Spirit Mother Federation, he shared her sentiments.

The only thing that jumped out at him about the Spirit Mother Federation in the past was that they liked to tattoo themselves. They covered themselves in tattoos from the time they were born to the day they died.

From Bu Po's experiences, Lin Yuan had a better understanding of the Spirit Mother Federation.

At that moment, Lin Yuan heard Bu Po mumble, "Am I dreaming or dead?"

Bu Po sounded worried when he mentioned death.

Lin Yuan sensed that Bu Po was afraid of his sister grieving over him.

Lin Yuan said to the confused Bu Po, "You're not dead. Welcome to the Astronomical Parliament. Do you remember the wish you made before you fell asleep?"

Bu Po was incredulous as he stared at the two figures on the golden thrones.

It went without saying that he remembered the wish he had made before he fell asleep. His head was still full of thoughts of how he could save his sister even after he fell asleep.

Bu Po did not even have time to be shocked that gods were real before he hurriedly said, "I'm willing to do anything if you can save my older sister! Please save her!"

The moment he spoke, he fell to his knees with his eyes full of hope.

In the Spirit Mother Federation, people valued pride above anything else because pride was the equivalent of dignity. Only people with pride had the courage to stand at the top and survive.

Bu Po's current action indicated that he had abandoned his pride.

This meant that he cared about his sister more than his pride.

With Bu Po's plea, it meant that he had agreed to the Astronomical Parliament's contract.

However, Lin Yuan needed to think carefully about how he could help Bu Po to save his sister.

The best way would be to turn Bu Po into an Earth Mother. However, Bu Po did not fulfill the two conditions that were necessary for one to become an Earth Mother.

As of now, Bu Po was only a D-rank spirit qi professional. Although he had accidentally comprehended a Willpower Rune, he had never contracted a fey. Hence, turning Bu Po into a king-class expert would be impossible.

Although Lin Yuan could give a Diamond/Epic fey to Bu Po, Bu Po's spirit qi professional rank was too low to form a contract with it.

Thus, Lin Yuan could only try the second method, which would be for him to take a gamble that Bu Po possessed Creation Master potential, just like the gamble that he was taking on Bei Xu.

If he lost the gamble on Bei Xu, the only cost would be that Bei Xu would not be able to strengthen his subordinates' source-type lifeforms.

But if he lost the gamble on Bu Po, he would lose his sister.

Lin Yuan had never been in Bu Po's position, but Lin Yuan could try to stand in his shoes.

Chapter 1485: Appearance of the Sixth Person

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Yuan could not imagine how he would feel if Chu Ci had encountered the same situation as Bu Po's sister, and he was helpless to do anything.

But no matter how he thought about it, the only way to fix the issue would be for Lin Yuan to take a gamble on Bu Po's Creation Master talent.

The Astronomical Parliament was unable to transfer experts and could not deliver Bu Po to them.

If Bu Po truly had Creation Master talent, Lin Yuan would be able to help him to become a Class 3 Creation Master in a short period.

Currently, Bu Po was 15 years old. He would be seen as a rare genius in the Radiance Federation if he could become a Class 3 Creation Master at his age.

If a Sky Mother in the Spirit Mother Federation discovered an outstanding Earth Mother, he would be rewarded by the Spirit Mother. As such, the Sky Mothers were always trying to support the Earth Mothers they discovered. Ne/w novel chapt𝒆rs are published on no/vel( /m

Once Bu Po's Creation Master talent was discovered by a Sky Mother, the Sky Mother would definitely report the discovery of Bu Po to the Spirit Mother in order to gain a reward.

Rumor was that the Spirit Mother had already accepted four disciples. It was likely that he would not mind accepting another genius disciple like Bu Po.

Lin Yuan asked Wen Yu, "Libra, the Lyra constellation called Bu Po into the Astronomical Parliament. Let him form a contract with it."

Wen Yu said to Bu Po, "Leo is allowing you to join the Astronomical Parliament. Place your hand on the back of the Lyra constellation seat and use your soul to form a contract with it."

Bu Po jumped to his feet and clumsily placed his hand on the back of the Lyra constellation seat.

He knew that they had agreed to his plea. His sister was saved!

Although he had no idea how they would help him, they had to be powerful, given how they had the power to bring him to this place.

None of the Earth Mothers that Bu Po had met had this ability.

At the same moment that Bu Po placed his hand on the Lyra constellation seat, the Lyra constellation in the sky lit up.

The Lyra constellation landed on Bu Po and enveloped him in light.

At the same time, Star Spirit Seat was used on Bu Po, and Lin Yuan used Genius' Connected Tails to send a sea of Creation Master resources to Bu Po.

Once the knowledge was transferred, Lin Yuan said to Bu Po, "When you leave the Astronomical Parliament, you will have the ability to contact the Astronomical Parliament. Use the knowledge in your head to buy spiritual ingredients with your savings. If you can use the spiritual ingredients to concoct spirit fluids, you will know what to do next. If you can't concoct spirit fluids, contact me using the Astronomical Parliament."

The moment Lin Yuan spoke, Wen Yu sent Bu Po out of the Astronomical Parliament.

Bu Po woke up on his bed.

Before he could wonder if the experience had been real, a bomb of knowledge exploded in his mind.

He had been dizzy for almost an entire day.

But as hungry as he was, he could not think of eating.

His heart was full of gratitude and excitement. He knew that he had met his savior because he felt that he was capable of using spiritual ingredients to concoct spirit fluids that only Creation Masters could produce.

Bu Po tentatively climbed down from his bed and took out half of the savings that he and his sister had put away.

He used this money to buy some Crimson Red Fruits.

When Crimson Red Fruits were added to Fish Lantern Grass and seven other support spiritual ingredients, a Crimson Potion could be produced.

When animal-type feys drank the Crimson Potion, they could increase their stamina.

Experts could also drink the Crimson Potion to quickly replenish their stamina.

Bu Po planned on concocting a bottle of Crimson Potion.

If he was successful, he would be able to head to the Creation Master Association immediately to see the Sky Mother there and register to become an Earth Mother.

If he failed, Bu Po could quickly contact the person in the constellations.

After all, his sister did not have long left.

The marriage procession in the Spirit Mother Federation lasted for four days.

The first three days were meant for visiting the parents.

However, his parents were dead. Thus, he only had a day left to save his sister.

Bu Po did not return home after buying the spiritual ingredients. Instead, he rented the lowest-class room in the Creation Master Association and tried to use the knowledge in his head to concoct the Crimson Potion.

With only knowledge and no practical experience, Bu Po struggled with the process.

But 20 minutes later, he had a bottle of dark red spirit fluid in his hand.

When he drank the dark red potion, tears started spilling out of his eyes.

These tears were not out of sadness but joy because he knew he could become an Earth Mother.

He could now reach the same status as the Sixth Young Master. He could save his sister!

Bu Po decided he would protect his sister while repaying the two figures amongst the constellations.

However, Bu Po had no idea that he was going to cause shock waves to reverberate through the Spirit Mother Federation by becoming the youngest Class 3 Creation Master in the Cold Sand Continent and becoming the disciple of the Spirit Mother.

One banquet amongst the stars had planted the seed of change in the Cold Sand Continent.

After Wen Yu sent Bu Po away, she used the stars to search for more desperate people who were willing to sacrifice everything for one wish.

However, the more they searched, the more awkward Lin Yuan and Wen Yu felt because most of the people were not struggling, and their wishes were not especially important.

Most of them wanted a never-ending source of money, unending power, or a woman who was out of their league.

Even if Lin Yuan could grant these wishes, he would not do so because it would make him a despicable person.

Additionally, the Astronomical Parliament did not require such people.

At that moment, a person wrapped in two willpowers appeared in the Astronomical Parliament.

This figure froze for a moment before they started to peer around their surroundings.

This indicated that the person had his fair share of experiences. Otherwise, he would not have been able to train such steely composure.

Chapter 1486: Pirate Wo Lun

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yin Lin, Bei Xu, and Ta Lei started mumbling to themselves when they saw the figure looking around. Clearly, they had forgotten that they were even less composed when they first arrived at the Astronomical Parliament.

Lin Yuan and Wen Yu had already started checking through the willpowers and experiences of this figure.

The two of them shared a look.

This time, they did not immediately decide to allow this person to join the Astronomical Parliament. Instead, she asked the figure, "Do you know why you're here?"

This question immediately attracted Wo Lun's attraction.

When Wo Lun first arrived in this constellation-filled sky pocket, he thought he was hallucinating due to a lack of water.

But soon, he realized that things were not as simple as he thought because he could sense the power of laws and willpowers coming from the two figures seated on the golden thrones.

One could not dream up the power of laws and willpowers. Spirit qi professionals would not struggle to awaken Willpower Runes if they could.

Moreover, Wo Lun sensed that there were three people near him who were looking at him curiously.

This meant that he had accidentally entered a mystical space. Discover 𝒏ew chapters at novelbi𝒏.co𝒎

Lin Yuan's question made Wo Lun think.

Wo Lun had no idea why he had come here, and he badly wanted to know how he had managed to reach this place.

Wo Lun got his bearings and said warily, "Lord, I am just a lowly sailor. I have no idea why I'm here. Please let me know!"

Lin Yuan was not surprised to hear this response.

According to Wo Lun's memories and experiences, Lin Yuan knew what kind of person Wo Lun was.

Given that he had fainted from dehydration, it would be difficult for him to remember the wish he had made in his final moments of consciousness. Hence, Lin Yuan needed to give him a reminder.

"You managed to reach this place because you made a wish saying that you were willing to give up everything. I can fulfill your wish."

Lin Yuan's words took Wo Lun by surprise.

Wo Lun immediately realized what had happened when he looked through his memories.

Soon, elation spread across his face.

This meant that he and his friends were saved!

"But before that, you have to tell me what you can do for me," said Lin Yuan.

When the Astronomical Parliament took in Bei Xu, Yin Lin, and Ta Lei, Lin Yuan had not asked them this question.

However, he was stricter with Wo Lun and Su Yiren because they were both very ambitious.

Su Yiren was desperate to live so she could restore the Dark Continent to its former glory, while Wo Lun wanted to go on more adventures to become a more outstanding sailor.

Wo Lun had a dream, but it was in conflict with the Astronomical Parliament's goal.

The Astronomical Parliament needed a leader and strategist who could set up a new faction in a new continent to expand Sky City's reach and not an adventurer who had wanderlust.

If Wo Lun chose to help Sky City over his dream, he would be worth being saved by Lin Yuan.

There was an abundance of sad people in the world who were about to die.

If Lin Yuan did not save Wo Lun, he could save someone else. It made no difference to him.

Wo Lun immediately fell quiet as he carefully thought about Lin Yuan's question.

Soon, Wo Lun realized that Lin Yuan's question had a hidden meaning. Lin Yuan was actually asking him about what he could contribute.

When Wo Lun introduced himself, he said that he was a sailor. Evidently, the person seated on the throne did not think that sailors were very valuable.

When he was on the brink of life and death, Wo Lun had seriously questioned his dream of adventuring. If he had not decided to sail northwest to search for new islands despite knowing the dangers involved, he would not have ended up trapped by the Saw Fin Bite Sharks.

Before he fell unconscious, Wo Lun had even groggily had the idea of opening a small bar in an alley.

However, the owner of a bar seemed even less valuable than a sailor.

After pondering for a while, Wo Lun came up with a way to demonstrate his value.

"Lord, I have been risking my life at sea ever since I was young. Although I haven't gained much out of it, I have accumulated a decent network of resources. If you have any need for it or find yourself near the Violent Wind Federation, I can recruit sailors to sail the waterways. Additionally, I can use spiritual ingredients to form large boats.

"Although these boats can't compare to the Island Whales, they can get through the sea without any problems. However, as long as you're willing to spend money to buy Gold and above spiritual ingredients, I can build boats that are impervious to the attacks from Diamond sea beasts."

Lin Yuan was immediately interested and said, "You claim that using Gold spiritual ingredients to build boats can defend them from the attacks of Diamond sea beasts. Then what about using Diamond spiritual ingredients? Will they be able to defend attacks from Myth Breed feys?"

Wo Lun was shocked.

How many Diamond spiritual ingredients were required to build an entire boat? Wo Lun could not imagine the cost.

Yet, it was clear that this figure who asked the question did not care about Diamond spiritual ingredients.

Wo Lun said hesitantly, "Lord, Myth Breed sea beasts are able to use laws to utilize the sea's power. There is a saying amongst sailors. Encountering a Myth Breed fey can only result in death. Even if you use Diamond spiritual ingredients to build a large boat, it won't be able to hold up against a Myth Breed sea beast's violent attacks. However, I believe that using Diamond spiritual ingredients will be able to protect a boat from the attacks of Fantasy Breed and Suzerain sea beasts."

With this, Lin Yuan decided that he would take Wo Lun into the Astronomical Parliament.

There were countless sea beasts in the main world. Although it was much easier to use a large boat to replace an Island Whale in running trading routes, any accidents would result in a total loss.

The Violent Wind Federation's boat construction skills were nonpareil.

Any person who identified themselves as a sailor in the Violent Wind Federation went out to sea in a boat that they made themselves.

However, the sailors in the Violent Wind Federation were also called pirates.

Chapter 1487: Lin Yuan's Plan

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sailors usually sailed on the boats they built to uninhabited islands to drain them of all their resources and gain an income.

There were even sailors who acted like pirates.

According to Wo Lun's memories, Lin Yuan knew that Wo Lun belonged to the former group.

This was also the reason why Wo Lun said that he had gained a considerable reputation amongst the sailors.

There were many occurrences where Wo Lun saved sailors who were in the midst of being robbed by pirates.

Although there was a great risk involved in using boats built with the Violent Wind Federation's construction skills to run trading routes in the main world, this danger would not be present in the dimensional worlds.

Lin Yuan's territory in the marsh world had widened significantly, and there was a serious lack of manpower there.

Experts like the Kill Food Sky Butterfly were the only ones who could harvest resources for the territory.

But if a large boat was placed in the marsh world, each trip it made would be able to gather a large amount of hidden marsh soil.

If White Pavilion navigated the boat, no Marsh Crocodiles would dare to attack the boat.

Additionally, Lin Yuan had learned from Silver Umber Black that Sea Emperors or sea kings guarded most sea territories.

If he could get in contact with a sea territory's Sea Emperor or sea king in advance, even a small boat would not run into danger when sailing in that territory.

Presently, Lin Yuan had the Sea Emperor Silver Umber Black as one of his subordinates.

The distance between the Radiance Federation and the Violent Wind Federation was about the same as the distance between the Radiance Federation and the Azure Federation.

The Azure Federation and Radiance Federation were able to set up the Radiance Azure Waterway because they had formed good relationships with all the sea clans in the area.

Suppose Silver Umber Black went ahead to make preparations or utilized special methods. In that case, it could be possible to set up the Radiance Wind Waterway between the Radiance Federation and Violent Wind Federation.

Nonetheless, these plans were out of Lin Yuan's scope for now.

The best thing that Wo Lun could do would be to set up a faction comprised of sailors in the Violent Wind Federation.

Lin Yuan needed to think about how he could help Wo Lun overcome his problem.

"Your ability has proven your worth. You can place your hand on the back of the Ophiuchus constellation seat and form a contract with it."

Wo Lun did not hesitate to form a contract with the Ophiuchus constellation seat and asked, "Lord, what should I do from now on?"

"Use your connections with the other sailors to set up a faction. Once you're done, I will tell you what to do next," said Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan changed the topic and asked, "What is your current spirit qi professional rank?"

Wo Lun hurriedly said, "Lord, I am an A-rank spirit qi professional."

Lin Yuan asked curiously, "If you're an A-rank spirit qi professional, why is your Tied Armor Sea Fern only Gold IX/Fantasy I?"

Wo Lun was embarrassed when he heard Lin Yuan's question.

Previously, the Tied Armor Sea Fern was only Gold IX/Epic.

Although Wo Lun was an A-rank spirit qi professional, he spent most of his time adventuring and his money on his boat. Hence, he had not asked a Creation Master to evolve this main combat fey.

He had only evolved the Tied Armor Sea Fern when he had been in danger and decided to take a gamble.

Wo Lun had found four Platinum tree cores on an island and fed them to the Tied Armor Sea Fern. This had enabled it to evolve to Legend quality.

Next, Wo Lun used a Willpower Rune that was suited to the Tied Armor Sea fern and evolved it to Gold IX/Fantasy I.

However, Wo Lun did not expect the Tied Armor Sea Fern's evolution to be insufficient to save the boat.

There were not only Gold grade but also Platinum Saw Fin Bite Sharks in the water.

The Tied Armor Sea Fern could easily defeat the Gold Saw Fin Bite Shark. It could also hold its own against two Gold Saw Fin Bite Sharks.

However, there were at least 20 Platinum Saw Fin Bite Sharks amongst the hundreds of Saw Fin Bite Sharks in the water. Hence, the Tied Armor Sea fern would be shredded almost instantly after it entered the water.

Moreover, Wo Lun had also noticed a few black figures in the water that were about ten meters long. These Saw Fin Bite Sharks were likely to be Diamond grade.

Wo Lun regretted not investing more of his money into evolving the Tied Armor Sea Fern in the past.

But as embarrassed as he was, since Lin Yuan had asked the question, he would tell Lin Yuan about his situation in detail.

When he heard Wo Lun's response, Lin Yuan felt that Wo Lun truly lived up to his background of being a wild adventurer.

Wo Lun's spirit qi professional rank allowed Lin Yuan to come up with a way to help him.

Through their interaction, Lin Yuan found out that Wo Lun was affiliated with control-type aquatic feys.

Lin Yuan also learned from Genius that there were currently no spirit fluids stocked up that would be able to evolve the Tied Armor Sea Fern to Diamond grade.

But coincidentally, Lin Yuan had a fey that was compatible with Wo Lun's other Willpower Rune, the Blue Ring Sea Octopus.

Wo Lun's other Willpower Rune was the Water Poison Willpower Rune, and the Blue Ring Sea Octopus was a small aquatic fey that used poison as a means of combat and control. UppTodat𝒆d fr𝒐m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

There happened to be a spirit fluid concocted by the Hundred Questions Beasts that could evolve the Bronze/Legend Blue Ring Sea Octopus to Diamond grade.

The Diamond/Fantasy Blue Ring Sea Octopus could easily kill the Diamond Saw Fin Bite Shark with its poison.

Once the Saw Fin Bite Sharks were killed, and the water was cleared, the sailors would be saved.

Once the sea turtle stuck in the propeller was removed, the boat would be able to move again.

"When you awake, you will realize that some items have appeared in your hand. Make sure to keep them a secret from the other people on the boat. If a seed of evil sprouts in any of the people on the boat, they will try and kill you. You will know how to get rid of the Saw Fin Bite Sharks once you see these items."

Lin Yuan told Wen Yu to use Star Spirit Seat to send the Blue Ring Sea Octopus and four bottles of spirit fluid to Wo Lun.

Lin Yuan used some broken water-type laws to fuel the transaction.

These broken water-type laws would only affect the cohesiveness of the sea in the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen's skirt.

Chapter 1488: Wo Lun's Luck and the Unnamed Bloodline!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After using up these water-type laws, the sea on the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen's skirt became clear enough that a large whale could be seen happily swimming about within it.

More than half an hour had been spent addressing Wo Lun, and the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting was about to come to an end.

After chatting to Yin Lin, Bei Xu, and Ta Lei for a while and having them become acquainted with Wo Lun, the parliamentary meeting ended.

Wo Lun opened his eyes at the same moment that he left the Astronomical Parliament.

He was faced with a fiery sun beating down on the surface of the sea and illuminating the horizon. The sunlight had wiped out all traces of darkness.

Wo Lun had been a sailor for more than a decade and saw the sunrise on an almost daily basis. Yet, this was the first time that he was amazed by its beauty.

When he returned to his senses and remembered that he had just attended the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting, he was afraid that it had all been his imagination despite knowing that it had not been a dream.

At this moment, he saw a strangely-shaped ring next to his hand.

There was a blue crystal in the shape of a cute octopus embedded in the ring.

Wo Lun was certain that this was the first time he was seeing this ring. From its craftmanship, he knew that the other sailors had not made it.

He remembered the person wrapped in laws and willpowers telling him that he would receive some items when he woke up and that he would know what to do with them.

Wo Lun thought,?Is this ring spatial equipment?

Wo Lun used his spiritual energy to touch the ring and realized that there was indeed a large space within the ring. The space was large enough to contain the entire boat.

As he continued looking inside the ring, he noticed four spirit fluids and a basin in the corner of the space.

A small octopus was lazily stretching out its tentacles in the basin. It also changed its color intermittently.

There were brilliant blue spots all over the octopus' body, indicating that it was full of venom.

Wo Lun hurriedly summoned the basin and four bottles of spirit fluid out of the ring.

He finally realized what Lin Yuan meant.

Wo Lun immediately checked the octopus-species fey and the four bottles of spirit fluid.

He was not a Creation Master and did not have the skill to check on them. However, he had been a sailor for long enough to gain experience.

Wo Lun had not been able to say anything when he saw the octopus-species fey in the ring.

But now that he was taking a closer look at it, he saw that it was Bronze/Legend.

This discovery left Wo Lun trembling violently.

He had no idea how Bronze/Legend feys were nurtured, but he was well aware of their significance.

Wo Lun dared not imagine what status the person seated on the golden throne in the Astronomical Parliament had to be able to give out a Bronze/Legend fey so easily to save a person.

Moreover, this octopus-species fey used venom to attack and was very compatible with the Willpower Rune he ηαδ comprehended. This meant that he would be able to combine the two immediately.

Does this mean that I'm about to contract a Bronze/Fantasy fey? What a lucky break!

With all of Wo Lun's experience, he could not tell what the four bottles of spirit fluids were.

However, the crystal bottles were marked from one to four to let Wo Lun know the sequence in which they should be used.

Wo Lun reached out his hand and carefully formed a contract with the octopus in the basin.

As cute as the octopus was, Wo Lun immediately noticed it was extremely venomous.

Before the contraction was complete, the octopus' venom would be effective on Wo Lun.

Many spirit qi professionals in the Violent Wind Federation had died by the venom of a poison-type fey before they could form a contract with it.

Wo Lun would not have to be afraid of the Blue Ring Sea Octopus's venom once he formed a contract with it.

After the contraction, Wo Lun sensed that the Blue Ring Sea Octopus was very affectionate toward him.

This left him stunned.

He had only had one fey up till now and had never experienced the joy of communicating with a fey spiritually.

Wo Lun scooped the Blue Ring Sea Octopus out of the basin, and it used its tentacles to grab his fingers in a loving manner.

He checked the time and saw that it was almost time to wake the other sailors up.

Wo Lun summoned the Water Poison Willpower Rune from his spiritual spatial zone and moved it toward the cute Blue Ring Sea Octopus.

Soon, the Blue Ring Sea Octopus fused with the Water Poison Willpower Rune, and it evolved into a Bronze/Fantasy fey.

Wo Lun opened the four bottles of spirit fluid and fed them to the Blue Ring Sea Octopus in sequence. Checkk new 𝒏ovel ch𝒂pters at nov𝒆

When the Blue Ring Sea Octopus drank the first spirit fluid, it remained the same size.

However, the blue rings on its body became brighter. This meant that its venom had become stronger.

But when it drank the second spirit fluid, it started to transform.

Suddenly, it grew into a 15-meter-tall monster. When its eight tentacles were fully stretched, they reached a length of 25 meters.

This left Wo Lun stupefied.

If Lin Yuan was here and looking at the Gold Blue Ring Sea Octopus, he would gasp at how lucky Wo Lun was.

There were many legends about octopus-species feys. Prehistoric octopus-species feys could awaken the giant octopus bloodline.

Prehistoric feys that had awakened the giant octopus bloodline had a chance of triggering that Unnamed bloodline.

For example, Gu Lang's Cuttlefish of Days Past had been the Crimson Giant Wings Cuttlefish before it awakened the Unnamed bloodline.

Now that the Blue Ring Sea Octopus had accidentally awoken its giant octopus bloodline, it had the chance to trigger the Unnamed bloodline.

Chapter 1489: Giant Cuttlefish carnage

If the Blue Ring Sea Octopus was not still affectionately placing its tentacles on Wo Lun, he might have fled to the cabin to hide.

But as shocked as Wo Lun was, he was also over the moon.

The Saw Fin Bite Shark was capable of quickly hunting down its prey.

Wo Lun had been afraid that the Blue Ring Sea Octopus' small size would cause it to be devoured by the Saw Fin Bite Sharks even after using its venom attacks.

Even if it did not end up dead, it would be trapped inside the Saw Fin Bite Shark. The stomach of the Saw Fin Bite Shark was not an enjoyable place to be.

The Saw Fin Bite Shark's main diet consisted of sea turtle feys. Given that it could even digest the hard shell of sea turtles, it would be difficult for the Blue Ring Sea Octopus to survive, much less escape from being dissolved by the stomach acid.

However, Wo Lun did not have to worry about that now.

The Blue Ring Sea Octopus was so large that it would only be injured by the Saw Fin Bite Shark's bites, and its life would not be in any danger.

But it did not take long for Wo Lun to realize that he was wrong.

When the Blue Ring Sea Octopus drank the third bottle of spirit fluid, its body started to grow again until it reached a height of 35 meters, while its tentacles grew to a length of 80 meters.

Wo Lun was also shocked by the tens of small nodes that grew all over the Blue Ring Sea Octopus' tentacles.

However, these nodes were only small in comparison to the Blue Ring Sea Octopus' tentacles. Each of them was actually at least 20 meters in length. There were also a few that were 30 meters.

The bright circles on the Blue Ring Sea Octopus' body were hurting Wo Lun's eyes.

He gulped before feeding the last bottle of spirit fluid to the Blue Ring Sea Octopus.

When the Blue Ring Sea Octopus drank the last bottle of spirit fluid, he felt himself falling as the deck let out an ominous creak.

At this point, the Blue Ring Sea Octopus covered Wo Lun's entire line of sight.

The 150-meter-long deck could no longer contain the mutated Blue Ring Sea Octopus. Half of its body hung out of the boat and dipped into the sea. Discover 𝒏ew chapters at novelbi𝒏.co𝒎

By Wo Lun's estimation, the Blue Ring Sea Octopus was at least 80 meters tall, and its tentacles reached at least 300 meters. The nodes on its tentacles ranged from five meters to 100 meters in length.

It was almost as large as a small whale-species fey.

The Diamond/Fantasy Blue Ring Sea Octopus was not only enormous but also had half-meter-long dark blue spikes protruding from its tentacles resembling fangs.

Wo Lun could not imagine an entity that could sustain the damage of being hit by one of the spike-covered tentacles.

The spikes were the same color as the rings on the Blue Ring Sea Octopus. Evidently, they were also chock full of venom.

The Blue Ring Sea Octopus was either hungry or had a violent personality as it immediately started attacking the Saw Fin Bite Sharks from the moment it entered the water.

The Saw Fin Bite Sharks had followed enough boats to come up with a routine. They would surround a boat, and food would eventually fall from the sky. This routine was embedded in the genes of the sharks after generations of interacting with the Violent Wind Federation.

However, this memory would bring about the downfall of this group of Saw Fin Bite Sharks because the creature that had entered the water was not a thirsty sailor but the mutated Blue Ring Sea Octopus.

The blue rings on the Blue Ring Sea Octopus lit up and turned the sea around it a brilliant blue.

When the Saw Fin Bite Sharks came in contact with the venomous water, their bodies immediately turned numb.

The Blue Ring Sea Octopus threaded its tentacles through the Saw Fin Bite Sharks like they were kebabs.

The Blue Ring Sea Octopus felt that killing the Saw Fin Bite Sharks this way was boring. It drained its venom and waved its tentacles around to catch the Saw Fin Bite Sharks in a makeshift net.

The Blue Ring Sea Octopus killed all the Saw Fin Bite Sharks by casually waving around its tentacles.

Wo Lun sensed the Blue Ring Sea Octopus's joy while looking in shock at the sea that had been stained red by the Saw Fin Bite Sharks' blood.

Hundreds of the Saw Fin Bite Sharks had been killed in cold blood.

The Blue Ring Sea Octopus' size, grade, and venom left the Saw Fin Bite Sharks utterly unable to fight back.

The sea breeze quickly dissipated the stench of blood.

Meanwhile, the sailors who had felt the boat sink slightly dashed up to the deck and witnessed the final moments of the cruel battle.

Little Monkey, whose flight or fight instincts heavily leaned toward flight, was stunned for two full minutes before he asked Wo Lun, "Big Brother Wo Lun, are we going to be eaten by this gigantic octopus?"

Although the giant octopus was fully submerged in the water, Little Monkey could tell from the silhouette beneath the water that it could capsize the boat.

Little Monkey was certain that he was about to die and turned to sprint into the cabin.

But Wo Lun grabbed his shirt after he only managed to take two steps.

Wo Lun did not expect Little Monkey to assume that the Blue Ring Sea Octopus was going to attack the boat.

He did not immediately explain to Little Monkey that the Blue Ring Sea Octopus was a fey he had obtained by accident.

Instead, he asked Little Monkey, "Little Monkey, why are you rushing to the cabin?"

Little Monkey replied honestly, "I will go and prepare some Saw Fin Bite Shark meat. Let us fill our bellies before we greet death!"

Wo Lun rolled his eyes at Little Monkey and said, "Are you going to add your blood to it too?"

Chapter 1490: Listen Has Returned

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Tears welled up in Little Monkey's eyes. He was willing to give up his life if it meant that Wo Lun and the other sailors could survive.

However, this was not the case at all.

The most positive thing that could happen would be that his blood would make the Saw Fin Bite Shark meat digestible by the sailors.

However, Little Monkey could not tell Wo Lun this because it would make the other sailors unwilling to eat the Saw Fin Bite Shark meat.

While Little Monkey was in conflict, he felt a weight land on top of his head. It was from Wo Lun's hand gently caressing his head.

Wo Lun did not say anything else to Little Monkey. Instead, he looked deep into Little Monkey's eyes for a moment before he turned and shouted toward the sea, "Blue Ring, use your tentacles to clear out the turtles blocking the propellers. Then, we will cook the turtles into soup."

All the sailors recovered from their shock, and cheers soon erupted from the deck.

The boat carried the cheers and joy of the sailors off toward the harbor in Freezing Dragon City.

…

Since the Astronomical Parliament had evolved to 3 Stars and Wen Yu's spiritual energy had increased significantly, she was not dizzy or exhausted even though this parliamentary meeting had lasted more than 40 minutes.

Lin Yuan looked at Wen Yu after they left the Astronomical Parliament.

He thought about the information he learned about Whale Ocean Commerce when he was at Zhou Jiaxin's store.

Although he had mentioned to Wen Yu about establishing channels of information, he had not had time to start on this.

But now, Lin Yuan decided to make setting up the intelligence department Sky City's first priority.

"Wen Yu, what are your plans for the intelligence department?"

Wen Yu replied seriously, "Young Master, Sky City has never had an intelligence department. We will have to start from scratch and do it step by step without relying on information from any other faction. We need to ensure that every person in the intelligence department has unquestionable loyalty because this is the only way to ensure the accuracy of the information.

"As for the secrecy part, the information will be fully transferred through Paper Crane's Promise, so there will be no need to worry."

Dear readers!you are reading on our content stealing copy and search this link " /sBJMIa " to support us

Lin Yuan now knew that Wen Yu had made careful plans for the intelligence department.

Suddenly, Lin Yuan thought about Qin Lun, who was currently training alongside Listen.

Qin Lun had awakened the Polar Night Blue Sky Scorpion beast pattern and formed a contract with the Polar Night Blue Sky Scorpion. He was an assassin skilled at espionage, which made him suitable to work in the intelligence department.

Qin Lun had gained experience with Listen on this trip to Indigo Azure City.

It would be a good idea to send Qin Lun to Wen Yu's side so she could train him and have him help her with setting up the intelligence department.

The number of white-clothed followers was increasing, and they were king-class experts who could not reveal their identities. As such, the main world was still unaware of the white-clothed followers.

All of the feys contracted by the white-clothed followers were different and had different skills.

Wen Yu could choose a few who would be suited to work in the intelligence department.

"Wen Yu, talk to Big Brother Liu and pick a group out of the white-clothed followers so you won't have to scramble to find labor."

A small smile appeared on Wen Yu's face as she said softly, "Young Master, with Faceless Paper and Truth Form Paper, it will be tedious but not difficult to set up the intelligence department. Don't worry. In less than six months, I will finish setting up Sky City's intelligence department, and we will immediately be able to receive any information about the major factions. With Faceless Paper, I will be able to standardize the appearance of all the intelligence workers. Even if another faction tries to pull a scheme, it will be useless."

After talking with Lin Yuan about the details of the intelligence department, Wen Yu returned to her room to log into Star Web so she could continue managing Sky City's private faction territory.

Next, she was going to instruct the Elemental Paper to produce many Faceless Papers.

Additionally, Wen Yu was going to increase her power to design spirit qi accessories.

All of these tasks completely filled up Wen Yu's time.

Lin Yuan also had to return to the Spirit Lock spatial zone to continue working hard. He needed to work two hours daily to fulfill the order from Cloud Lake City and Mountain Bell City.

Moreover, Lin Yuan needed to head to Whale Ocean Commerce's manor with the rest of the Creation Masters three days later with Faceless Paper attached to his face.

Nothing was different for Liu Jie, Lin Yuan, and Wen Yu.

However, the world had changed for most of the spirit qi professionals and normal people on Star Web and in the real world.

News of the Warm Sun Fund opening in the Xia Region had indeed caused a huge commotion on Star Web. But before the commotion could reach its peak, it was blanketed by the news of the abyssal world opening.

The 32 major cities from the Radiance Federation were going to build mirror cities in the abyssal world, and the factions would be building their territories inside the mirror cities.

Hence, Creation Master resources in the Radiance Federation were tight. Metal-type spiritual ingredients and ice-type feys became extremely expensive, while the price of fire-type feys and strange flames fell.

The changes and waves in the market affected the revenue of countless factions. However, this was inevitable because it was the natural progression of changing times.

Meanwhile, Listen, Endless Summer, and the rest had returned to the Royal Capital from Indigo Azure City.

Endless Summer made a beeline for the Return from Faraway Mansion the moment she arrived at the Royal Capital.

Listen was going to do the same. However, the Royal Capital was the first city to set aside territory for itself in the abyssal world.

The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was a faction that operated within the Royal Capital and needed to build its representative faction in the mirror city of the Royal Capital in the abyssal world.

The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce would need to pay a security deposit and undertake the costs of building the representative faction.

Chapter 1491: Lin Yuan's Prediction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was completely different from what it used to be.

It could not even compare to a rising faction a few months ago.

Eventually, it entered the luxury resources business and managed to break into the rising faction's market.

But a few months ago, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce took over all of the Zheng family's resources which happened to overlap with the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce's role.

Now, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was one of the top veteran factions.

Although the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce had not changed its address in the Royal Capital and still remained in the small white house, it was not eligible to occupy a 10,000-square-meter business territory.

The Royal Capital's building department had already rushed Listen many times.

Although Listen could do anything with his connection to Lin Yuan, he still preferred to do things by the book because Lin Yuan was the same.

Listen only rushed back to the Return from Faraway Mansion when it was time for dinner.

With Listen and Endless Summer back in the mansion, the Return from Faraway Mansion was bustling with life.

Lin Yuan called Master Hong Shen, Zhang Xiaobai, Lu Pinru, Tan Ran, and Xin Ying over to have dinner in the mansion.

After dinner, Listen went over to Lin Yuan and said softly, "Young Master, I am done with all the business in Indigo Azure City."

Lin Yuan nodded. He was not going to ask Listen how he planned to handle the Zheng family.

Nonetheless, Listen said, "The Zheng family's main role is also luxury resources, and they have hired almost 4,000 Spirit Craftsmen over the years. Four of them are Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen, over 200 are Class 3 Spirit Craftsmen, and most of the remaining ones are Class 2 Creation Masters. They have six times the number of Spirit Craftsmen as the Heavenly Craft Pavilion.

"After the Zheng family fell, Zheng Kaiyan immediately took control of the Spirit Craftsmen and prevented them from leaving the Zheng family.

"When I went over to take over control of the Spirit Craftsmen, most of them had a deep resentment toward Sky City because we won them from a blood pact ultimate fight. Hence, I don't think we'll be able to make full use of them. They can only put the finishing touches on luxury goods.

"With the added labor of these Spirit Craftsmen, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce will be able to trade on a whole other scale. The seven Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen and your rare spiritual resources will enable our auctions to gain an even better reputation."

Lin Yuan did not express an opinion.

Zheng Kaiyan had already told Lin Yuan about the Spirit Craftsmen.

Lin Yuan was not interested in these Spirit Craftsmen despite lacking Spirit Craftsmen because they would never be loyal to Sky City.

Now that Listen had taken over control of the Spirit Craftsmen and given them suitable jobs, they were fulfilling their function.

Listen changed the topic and said softly, "Young Master, Zheng Kaiyan is very capable. After obtaining the Zheng family's luxury goods, I left him with Indigo Azure City's shallow sea resources so he could develop them. The Indigo Azure City's shallow sea resources are a large treasure chest. How far it can be developed is up to Zheng Kaiyan's abilities."

From what Listen said, Lin Yuan could tell that he had already made his peace with his grudge against the Zheng family.

Lin Yuan did not comment on what Listen said.

The Zheng family, which Zheng Kaiyan led, was the most profitable source of income that Sky City had.

Anything that Zheng Kaiyan did would earn money for Sky City.

It was a good idea for Zheng Kaiyan to develop Indigo Azure City's shallow sea resources. If he was capable enough to do a good job, Lin Yuan did not mind opening up another road for Zheng Kaiyan by allowing him to interact with Gao Feng and helping Gao Feng nurture aquatic feys in the shallow seas.

Although Lin Yuan had not left the mansion in the past few days or gone to the abyssal world to train, he was still very interested in the situation there.

Lin Yuan asked, "Listen, what do you think the biggest change in the federation since the opening of the abyssal world is?"

Listen was slightly stunned and thought for a while before replying, "Young Master, I have been paying attention to the situation in the abyssal world since I heard about the opening of the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift. Alll 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n/.c𝒐m

"My understanding is that the price of the metal-type spiritual ingredients that can be used to create the cities in the abyssal world has inflated to four times their usual price while ice-type feys that can make their environment colder are now 15 times more expensive. The plant-type feys that are resistant to heat have become at least three times more expensive as well.

"However, luxury goods are experiencing the biggest change in price. Their price has already multiplied, but I think that this is only the beginning. I predict that the price of luxury goods will reach up to four times their previous price."

Listen's voice became excited when he mentioned the part about the increase in the price of luxury goods.

The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce was currently standing at the precipice of a changing generation.

Soon, Listen would be confident enough to take the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce to the level of top factions.

Lin Yuan was amazed by Listen's response.

The price of metal-type spiritual ingredients and ice-type feys had gone up because they were badly needed in the construction of the cities in the abyssal world.

As a result, most adventuring crews would choose to enter subterranean dimensional rifts because they would be able to obtain metal-type spiritual ingredients and sell them to gain the biggest profit.

Low-class Creation Masters would invest most of their time and energy into nurturing ice-type feys. This would cause Creation Master resources for other types of feys to become scarcer and the price of feys to climb.

Spiritual ingredients came from feys. When the price of feys increased, so would the price of spiritual ingredients.

There would be countless people who would be leading harder lives due to this change.

Cultivated Garden was the Radiance Federation's store of food and resources.

In the event of a change of times, many opportunists would try to stock up on metal-type spiritual ingredients and ice-type feys to sell them at the peak of their value.

However, Lin Yuan believed that Tian Feng would step in quickly to open up Cultivated Garden and inject resources back into the market so that the price would fall back to their original levels.

Chapter 1492: Cultivated Garden's Sudden Declaration

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

However, Cultivated Garden would only release goods that spirit qi professionals and regular people commonly used.

They would not release luxury resources after an increase in the price of luxury resources because they did not affect the livelihoods of the people living in the Radiance Federation.

The price of luxury goods had reached such a high point because the factions were fighting for the sake of their pride.

Hence, the other price of luxury goods would continue to spike after the price of the other resources stabilized.

After all, the factions would have to buy new luxury goods to decorate their territories in the abyssal world. This would definitely drive the price of luxury goods even higher.

Moreover, when the opportunists found out that the regular spiritual ingredients were no longer as profitable, they would definitely set their sights on luxury resources.

Lin Yuan would wait to see how Listen could grab hold of this benefit of the changing times to propel himself to the top.

In the past two days, Lin Yuan had not heard once from Bu Po.

It was said that no news was good news.

Apparently, Bu Po did have Creation Master talent.

It was likely that Bu Po had become a Creation Master and saved himself.

In order to better understand the current situation in the Radiance Federation, Lin Yuan logged onto Star Web after he was done with work to check the forums and discussions.

Lin Yuan saw that many messages were about the inflation of spiritual ingredients.

Return to the Past: What the hell is going on? It only cost 600 Federation dollars to buy the Ice Crystal Grass yesterday. Why does it cost 8,000 Federation dollars today? With 8,000 Federation dollars, why would I buy Normal Ice Crystal Grass? I would be better off buying Bronze Ice Crystal Grass.

Lin Yuan could tell that Return to the Past did not understand the current situation.

It was reasonable that the price of the Ice Crystal Grass had increased, and it was only going to climb higher.

However, the astronomical increase in the price of the spiritual ingredients was indeed frightening to Lin Yuan.

It was likely that the spirit qi professionals who were affiliated with ice-type feys were falling in despair now.

Even if these spirit qi professionals came from rich families who could afford the ice-type feys at their inflated price, it would still cost tens of times more to buy the ice-type spiritual ingredients necessary to nurture the ice-type feys.

It now cost tens of times more to nurture an ice-type fey than other types of feys.

No person or faction would be able to end the ongoing inflation easily.

Even if Lin Yuan spent all of Sky City's wealth, he would be helpless against the market movements that were fuelled by the changing times.

Pouring Sky City's wealth into the market would be the equivalent of pouring a cup of water into a lake.

Lin Yuan continued to read the other posts.

Shadow of Cloud Peaks: What the hell? The foundation of my garden is done, and I have hired a construction crew. The cost of materials was estimated to be 120,000 Radiance dollars. But after just one day, it has changed to 960,000 Radiance dollars. How am I supposed to build my garden now?

Spring Glow: This is so frustrating. The Creation Masters are so busy now that even money can't buy their time! Why have all the Creation Masters that I used to work with gone to Whale Ocean Commerce? Does anyone understand the situation? Why does Whale Ocean Commerce need so many Creation Masters?

Lin Yuan's eyebrow twitched.

It was understandable that Creation Master resources would be tight at this time when the 32 major cities were building mirror cities in the abyssal world.

Even if Tian Feng released many resources that allowed the price of metal-type spiritual ingredients and other feys to return to their original level, he would not be able to address the lack of Creation Master resources.

Even if the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift had not opened in the Radiance Federation, there would still be insufficient Creation Master resources in the Radiance Federation.

Now that the cities in the Radiance Federation were building mirror cities in the abyssal world, the already insufficient Creation Master resources would be even more drained. F0lloww new 𝒄hapters at nov/(e)

It seemed that the price of Creation Master resources in the Radiance Federation would definitely skyrocket, and their place in society would also be raised.

As a result, top lifestyle professions like Class 5 Spirit Craftsmen and Class 5 Weavers would be relegated to share the ranks of Class 4 and below Creation Masters.

Shadow of Cloud Peaks' post linked the lack of Creation Master resources due to the changing times to Whale Ocean Commerce.

Every time Lin Yuan refreshed the page, Shadow of Cloud Peaks' post received even more likes and replies.

In less than five minutes, Lin Yuan noticed that Shadow of Cloud Peaks' post had become the most popular post on Star Web.

Whale Ocean Commerce was gathering so many Creation Masters to achieve a nefarious goal, and the sudden opening of the abyssal world was shining a blinding spotlight on them. This left them with no way of backing out.

It would be useless no matter how hard Whale Ocean Commerce tried to stop this.

After the matter, Whale Ocean Commerce would definitely receive a visit from the members of royalty.

Although Whale Ocean Commerce had not done anything this time, their previous action would still be uncovered by the Spirit Guards.

Thus, the only way out for Whale Ocean Commerce would be to take the risk in the hopes that it would lead to a miracle.

Lin Yuan never understood why Whale Ocean Commerce dared to do such a thing. Were they really confident of being able to escape after doing such a thing?

As Lin Yuan continued to read the posts on Star Web, he saw that the number of posts about the price of goods was increasing.

It could be said that the Radiance Federation was being pushed to its limits.

Now that Lin Yuan understood the situation and was about to leave Star Web, Cultivated Garden released a declaration through the Star Web officials to all of the people on Star Web.

Cultivated Garden has decided to release 600 million tons of Bronze metal-type spiritual ingredients, 100 million tons of Silver metal-type spiritual ingredients, 20 quadrillion tons of Gold metal-type spiritual ingredients, 10 billion tons of Platinum metal-type spiritual ingredients, and 500 million tons of metal-type spiritual ingredients.
We will also be letting out 111 trillion ice-type feys. The other spiritual ingredients and feys whose prices have been affected will also increase their supply by Cultivated Garden, so their market prices will return to normal.
The message stated that Cultivated Garden would help to control the price of all the feys and spiritual ingredients in the market.
In 72 hours, the prices of all the feys and spiritual ingredients in the Radiance Federation would return to normal.
Any city or region whose price did not return back to normal could report this to the Star Web officials.
Chapter 1493: Cultivated Garden's Member of Royalty
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Yuan was shocked when he saw this message. Soon, a wave of warmth overwhelmed him and spread throughout his entire body.
What charisma and capability of a federation!
Lin Yuan had expected that Cultivated Garden would step in to stabilize the market. However, he did not expect them to act so quickly.
Two days after the incident took place and the wave of commotion on Star Web had just started rolling, Cultivated Garden had already slammed a lid down to quell the matter.
Lin Yuan was also shocked to the point of fear when he saw the resources that Cultivated Garden was going to release.
What kind of concept and wealth was this? Not even 10,000 Class 4 subterranean dimensional rifts produced so many metal-type spiritual ingredients.
Moreover, Cultivated Garden was not just releasing this amount of metal-type spiritual ingredients just once but on a monthly basis.
The 111 trillion ice-type feys could change the weather of a limited area in the abyssal world.
Cultivated Garden's action made Lin Yuan aware that he had been thinking on too small of a scale.
He had also thought about gathering resources. However, he had only thought about producing more Soldier Ration Radishes and cultivating various plants in the marsh world to corner the plant-type fey market. This should sustain Sky City for a few hundred years.
But now that they were faced with a great change of times, Sky City's original method of gathering resources was no longer effective.
Lin Yuan felt it was time for him to expand his scale and horizons by allowing Sky City to gather more resources quicker.
The Dimensional Light Moth had reached Diamond X/Legend. By eating space, it could easily open up Class 3 or 4 dimensional rifts.
Class 3 or 4 dimensional rifts were nightmares to weak factions but treasure troves to powerful factions.
The Dimensional Light Moth was the key to opening the treasure troves.
Lin Yuan did not have a lot of manpower under his control and could not harvest resources from many dimensional rifts using only the white-clothed followers.
However, Lin Yuan harnessed faith power and had many Apostles under him. These Apostles also had many believers and Favored Believers. All the Apostles could lead their believers and Favored Believers to harvest resources from various Class 3 or 4 dimensional rifts.
A few hundred Soldier Ration Radishes was clearly insufficient.
Lin Yuan planned on using the Red Pagoda's Lifeform Sacrificial Fire to roast the Soldier Ration Radishes to turn their stems wooden more quickly. He would then start splitting them into ramets.
He would build a breeding base in the marsh world. This was the best way to gather and accumulate resources from the marsh world. Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m
Time flew by, and two days went by in the blink of an eye.
Two days later, the price of common feys in the Radiance Federation returned to normal, but the price of luxury goods had started to spike.
The Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce had received many orders for custom luxury goods, but Listen rejected all of them.
He was not afraid that this would offend the factions who had placed the orders.
The increase in the price of luxury goods was not related to Spirit Craftsmen, but the increase in the price of basic resources used to produce the luxury goods.
Thus, these factions would come to beg the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce again in the future.
After all, the Listening Heron Chamber of Commerce had no lack of resources that could be used to produce luxury goods. This was Listen's biggest secret weapon during these changing times.
There was a palace that resembled a pagoda on a mountain in Ascending Dragon City.
This palace had 33 floors, and there was a wheat-shaped carving on the tip of each curved edge protrusion that was sandwiched between each floor. This made the pagoda appear both exquisite and humble.
There were also patterns of various delectable fruits all over the pagoda.
A hungry person would probably start salivating immediately the moment they laid eyes on the pagoda.
When one drew near, they would see a large farm around the pagoda.
There was Cultivated Garden's specialty crop Sky Fragrance Rice planted on the farm.
According to legend, eating one grain of Sky Fragrance Rice could fill one's stomach for ten days. Moreover, one would experience a continuous recovery of spiritual power during the ten days.
However, all of the members of royalty in the Radiance Federation knew that the owner of the Sky Fragrance Rice was a miser. Thus, even they had only been able to eat the Sky Fragrance Rice less than a handful of times.
A chubby and sour-faced middle-aged man was swinging around his hoe as he hoed the furrow between two Sky Fragrance Rice.
He was extremely hardworking and dug out neat furrows that looked as though they had been measured out using a ruler.
At that moment, a young man walked over. He took care not to step on the furrows that the rotund man had just created. He stood at the edge of the fence and shouted, "Tian Feng, we have sent out all the resources! According to our investigation, the prices of the various resources have returned to their original levels."
Tian Feng set the hoe to the side and touched one of the Sky Fragrance Rice before walking out of the field with a satisfied look on his face.
As he walked, he said, "The amount of resources we sent out this time differs greatly from the deficit reported by the Guard Captains. Cicada Song's men are detailed workers, and a situation like this where resources differ by 10,000% has never happened. Have you found out the cause of this?"
The young man frowned and said, "We have found out that there are two reasons for this situation. The first reason is that the Guard Captains of Indigo Azure City and Raging Waves City have saved a large amount that they used to buy up resources they can use to build their mirror cities. These two cities forgot to include these resources when they balanced their accounts. It is a mistake on their part. The second reason is that Whale Ocean Commerce has recruited many Creation Masters of various classes in the name of doing some kind of test."
Tian Feng frowned and roared, "Nonsense! Only two days have passed. What does inflation have to do with the lack of Creation Masters? This difference occurred because the Guard Captains of Indigo Azure City and Raging Waves City forgot to include their accumulated resources. For now, keep a close watch on the market's pricing changes. Once the market stabilizes, I will go and ask Di Wantian why the hell he needs so many Creation Masters."
Chapter 1494: Call to Mystic Moon

The young man was confused by what Lord Tian Feng meant by 'nonsense'. Was he referring to the Guard Captains of Indigo Azure City and Raging Waves City or Whale Ocean Commerce?
The matter should be over once the two Guard Captains gave their reports.
However, if Tian Feng interrogated Whale Ocean Commerce, it would eventually lead to an investigation by the Spirit Guards.
But Whale Ocean Commerce had kept such a low profile over the years that there should be no problems even if the Spirit Guards investigated them.
It would take at least ten days for all the prices of spiritual ingredients to stabilize.
During this time, the young man needed to pull his socks up to keep himself from being reprimanded by Tian Feng.
When the young man turned to return to work, a question appeared in Tian Feng's mind.
The opening of the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift had been a last-minute decision by the members of royalty.
Otherwise, the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift should have opened after the Radiance Hundred Sequence.
It was impossible that Whale Ocean Commerce was recruiting Creation Masters because they had heard about the opening of the abyss dimensional rift in advance.
Thus, why did Whale Ocean Commerce need so many Creation Masters?
Moreover, the imperial court had placed a restriction on all the top factions to prevent them from using resources and casually affecting the situation in the market.
It would be fine if Whale Ocean Commerce was only recruiting high-class Creation Masters, but recruiting many low-class Creation Masters would prevent these low-class Creation Masters from being used by smaller organizations. Countless chambers of commerce and Star Web stores would crumble because they were unable to hire these low-class Creation Masters.
Tian Feng had an urge to investigate Whale Ocean Commerce, but he pushed it down quickly because he had a more important thing to do over the next few days as a member of royalty. He needed to maintain the stability of the prices of the goods in the Radiance Federation to protect the regular people and spirit qi professionals from being affected by the changing times.
It was soon time for Lin Yuan to participate in Whale Ocean Commerce's test as a Class 2 Creation Master.
Lin Yuan had woken up at the crack of dawn.
He put on a plain gray set of spirit qi clothes and looked out the window.
It was a beautifully sunny day, but puffy clouds were obscuring some of the sunlight. But it did not take long for the sunlight to evaporate the clouds into a mist that spread out across the sky.
Lin Yuan started to think as he stared at the thick clouds.
If his guess about Whale Ocean Commerce was true, this was an earth-shattering matter that concerned the Radiance Federation's well of Creation Master resources.
Ever since he met Ji Feng and understood his circumstances, Lin Yuan could not help but speculate about the Whale Ocean Commerce's recruitment of Creation Masters.
As a top faction that had been formed from three families, the three families should share a close relationship.
Moreover, Sea Sky Nurture's role was Creation Masters and should be the most active of the three families.
However, Ten Thousand Flags Trading had exterminated Sea Sky Nurture.
Even if they had a deep grudge, Whale Ocean Commerce needed Creation Master resources in order to expand themselves.
Lin Yuan had heard from Miao He when they went to Connected Beast Park's residence that the number of Island Whales that Whale Ocean Commerce had had not increased.
This meant that Ten Thousand Flags Trading already had a large number of Creation Masters even before they killed the Sea Sky Nurture's Creation Masters.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan felt as though he had just stumbled on a key point that he had missed up till now.
Creation Master resources? What kind of Creation Master resources needed to be replenished using the lives of Creation Masters?
Lin Yuan should tell the Moon Empress about this matter.
He had not done so because the Moon Empress had locked herself away to train.
If Lin Yuan told Mystic Moon about this matter, he would undoubtedly tell the Moon Empress about it and disturb her training.
Once the training of a top expert was disturbed, it would be challenging for them to return to that state of mind.
On the other hand, this matter was a guess that Lin Yuan had come up with after putting together all the information he had gathered.
If his guess was wrong and the Moon Empress caused a huge commotion by launching an investigation, it would turn the situation into a joke.
Lin Yuan was going to act on his own and decided to give Mystic Moon a call before he acted.
Lin Yuan was now the Moon Empress' disciple, and anything he did was a reflection of the Moon Empress.
Telling Mystic Moon in advance would enable him to react if anything happened. Aall 𝒏𝒆west ch𝒂pt𝒆rs on n.o./v𝒆l𝒃i/n/.c𝒐m
Previously, Lin Yuan had used faith power to enhance White Speak, and White Speak's power had reached pinnacle Immortal.
Recently, the comments on Star Web had exploded, and Lin Yuan's faith power had almost doubled. Hence, White Speak would become even more powerful if Lin Yuan stepped in to enhance it again.
Lin Yuan did not think that Whale Ocean Commerce had an expert more powerful than the pinnacle Immortal White Speak. However, there was no guarantee.
A wise man would predict and prepare to mitigate possible risks.
If Whale Ocean Commerce happened to hide an expert who had Eternal power, telling Mystic Moon in advance would allow him to step in to help if the situation called for it.
But when he called Mystic Moon, the call was not picked up even when the call rang to its end.
Lin Yuan could not help but frown.
This had never happened when Lin Yuan called Mystic Moon. The latter would always pick up after three rings or less.
Lin Yuan did not wait for Mystic Moon to call him back. Instead, he called Mystic Moon again.
When the call rang to its end, Mystic Moon hurriedly picked up and said apologetically, "Young Lord, I am currently upgrading Star Web with two other members of royalty and did not have my phone with me. I was only just informed of your call."
Mystic Moon knew Lin Yuan well. If Lin Yuan called him twice in a row, it meant that something urgent had to have happened.
When Lin Yuan heard that Mystic Moon was upgrading Star Web, he hurriedly said, "Uncle Mystic, how long do you need to upgrade Star Web?"
Mystic Moon replied honestly, "Young Lord, thanks to you, my sacred source lifeform has gained another Star and my power has crossed that rut. My sacred source lifeform and spiritual energy make up 1/3 of Star Web. When my spiritual power and I gain an increase in power, Star Web's spirit sensing net will also be fundamentally improved. Since the upcoming Radiance Hundred Sequence will be taking place on Star Web, Star Web's upgrade will be completed 10 days before the Radiance Hundred Sequence if I work hard alongside the two other members of royalty."
Chapter 1495: Night Leaning Moon's Cooperation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Yuan frowned when he heard what Mystic Moon said.
Upgrading Star Web was important to the entire Radiance Federation.
This matter involved two other members of royalty besides Mystic Moon and was of utter importance.
However, Lin Yuan's situation was just as paramount.
After pondering for a few moments, Lin Yuan still decided to tell Mystic Moon about his hypothesis. However, he told Mystic Moon a summarized version.
Mystic Moon froze, and his breath hitched.
He turned to look at the other two members of royalty and said, "Young Lord, Night Leaning Moon has been staying at the Radiant Moon Palace recently. I will call her and ask her to cooperate with you as well as protect you from the shadows. You can take the lead on this matter, and she will accommodate you."
Mystic Moon paused before adding, "Before the Moon Empress closed herself off to train, she told you to go ahead and do everything and anything that you want. She will always support you."
Lin Yuan hung up the call and waited for Night Leaning Moon to call him.
Although Night Leaning Moon was Liu Jie's Master and was not considered an outsider, Lin Yuan did not want to involve Liu Jie in this matter.
Liu Jie was also going to try to become a Radiance Envoy.
If Lin Yuan's guess was wrong, involving others would only cause their reputation to take a hit.
Although a tarnished reputation would not have any effect on the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, any spot on one's reputation during the Radiance Envoy selection could cause one to lose many votes.
As such, Lin Yuan was going to shoulder this matter on his own.
Lin Yuan's phone rang in less than five minutes. When he picked it up, he saw that it was coming from a foreign number.
Lin Yuan's phone rang very rarely, and any call that he did receive came from people he knew. Hence, it was likely that this foreign number was a call from Night Leaning Moon.
When Lin Yuan picked up the call, he heard a hoarse and cold voice say, "Little Yuan, this is Night Leaning Moon. I'm a friend of your Master. Let me know if you need me to do anything, and I will get right on it."
Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.
He was not stunned by Night Leaning Moon said that she was going to cooperate with him because Mystic Moon had already assured him that she would do so. He was surprised by the way that she had introduced herself.
It would have been expected for her to introduce herself as the Chief Guard of the Spirit Guards or Liu Jie's Master. Yet, she introduced herself as a friend of his Master. F0lloww new 𝒄hapters at nov/(e)
This meant that the Moon Empress was extremely important to Night Leaning Moon.
However, Lin Yuan had heard from Mystic Moon that the Moon Empress rarely interacted with the Spirit Guards.
Since Night Leaning Moon said that she was going to help him, he told her about his plan, "Chief Guard Ye, let me tell you what I think is happening."
He proceeded to tell her about his guess in detail, including the tragedy that happened to Ji Feng and the entire Sea Sky Nurture.
After listening to Lin Yuan's hypothesis, Night Leaning Moon fell silent for a moment before she replied, "Even if Whale Ocean Commerce's plan doesn't involve killing tens of thousands of Creation Masters, Ten Thousand Flags Trading's massacre of Sea Sky Nurture is already a major crime.
"Little Yuan, once you act, I will station 5,000 Spirit Guards outside Whale Ocean Commerce's residence to watch over you. I will also give you a Night Jade. The Night Jade will form a shield around you if you are ever attacked. If the Night Jade is shattered, I will automatically be transported to where the night jade is.
"Once you infiltrate Whale Ocean Commerce's residence, you can investigate as boldly as you like without worrying about safety."
Night Leaning Moon had already heard the news that Whale Ocean Commerce was recruiting Creation Masters for a test.
Although she did not think that a top faction that had established itself as a top faction decades ago would cause problems, she still intended to send two Guard Envoys to investigate.
But due to the fight with the sea clans, Night Leaning Moon had to send many Guard Envoys and Spirit Guards to the seaside cities to prevent the sea clans from causing trouble.
As a result, there were not many Spirit Guards left in the Royal Capital.
Night Leaning Moon had been staying at the Radiant Moon Palace and addressing documents sent from the various regions.
Zuo Ming and You Zhe had also been beside themselves with work. It was only natural for Night Leaning Moon to work harder than them.
Night Leaning Moon felt that Lin Yuan's guess was pure conjecture.
But since he was going to put himself in danger to investigate for the sake of the Radiance Federation, it was evident that he had the character of a Radiance Envoy.
Night Leaning Moon had started being friendly with Lin Yuan because of his relationship with Liu Jie, and she wanted to extend her affection to the people that Liu Jie cared about.
But now, Night Leaning Moon genuinely admired Lin Yuan.
Compared to her disciple, who was preoccupied with being a Protector, Lin Yuan was more focused on the big picture.
Lin Yuan's face lit up with joy. He was not afraid that he would be in danger, but that White Speak would be unable to protect the thousands of Creation Masters on its own.
But now that there were going to be another 5,000 Spirit Guards standing by, they would be able to step in to protect the Creation Masters if an accident took place.
Lin Yuan replied with gratitude, "Thank you, Chief Guard Ye."
Night Leaning Moon replied with a smile, "Little Yuan, you can call me Auntie Night. You don't have to call me Chief Guard Ye in private."
Night Leaning Moon hung up the call.
Soon, Lin Yuan saw a blanket of darkness creeping over the bright sun.
The blanket of darkness entered the mansion and his room before arriving at his palm. It turned into a square jade pendant.
This was probably the night jade that Night Leaning Moon had mentioned!
This method of delivering the Night Jade allowed Lin Yuan to understand the concept of being a member of royalty.
What Night Leaning Moon just did was beyond Lin Yuan's previous comprehension.
Lin Yuan saw that it was almost time to leave.
It was at this moment that he received another call. He saw that it was coming from another unknown number that was different from Night Leaning Moon's.
Nonetheless, Lin Yuan instinctively assumed that the call was still coming from Night Leaning Moon.
But when he picked up, a male voice said, "Is this Chu Yuan? I'm from Whale Ocean Commerce. You are expected to be at the meeting point in an hour. I'm calling to remind you not to be late. Moreover, you don't have to bring anything additional with you. When you arrive, Whale Ocean Commerce will provide you with everything. Additionally, the pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters from Sea Sky Nurture have all expressed the desire to accept disciples. So you should grab the opportunity."
Chapter 1496: Why Are You Staring at Me?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Yuan was so angry that he almost started to laugh.
It was clear that there was a motive behind the call, and it was that Whale Ocean Commerce hoped that everyone who registered would turn up. Thus, they sent an attendant over to tempt the Creation Masters.
The people from Sea Sky Nurture were dead, except for Ji Feng.
Whale Ocean Commerce was using dead people as bait to reignite the motivation of the Creation Masters to turn up.
Lin Yuan saw no need to tear into this attendant and said, "I will head to the meeting point now."
He forced a voice of excitement out of himself and talked to the attendant a while more before the attendant hurriedly hung up the call to contact other applicants.
Lin Yuan did not ride Blackie in the Royal Capital because it was too eye-catching.
Lin Yuan, who looked different thanks to Faceless Paper's transformation, called for a Silver Divine Travel Black Swallow.
He rode the Divine Travel Black Swallow all the way to Whale Ocean Commerce's meeting point.
He arrived at the meeting point 40 minutes early, but it was already crowded there.
Whale Ocean Commerce's meeting point was currently the most crowded place in the entire Royal Capital.
Lin Yuan noticed that all of the Creation Masters had flushed faces of excitement.
Some of them were hopeful that they would be able to join Whale Ocean Commerce, while others wanted to be picked by Sea Sky Nurture's pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters.
A few of them were also feeling rivalrous toward the younger and more capable Creation Masters.
Lin Yuan could not help but be displeased by this.
At that moment, he would prefer that his guess fell flat over discovering Whale Ocean Commerce's secret. However, it would be impossible for everything to be nothing more than his conjecture.
The attendant's call proved that there were problems.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to wait for the right time to investigate the situation in the surrounding stores, he realized that most of the Creation Masters around were looking at him.
He was surprised by this because he had used Faceless Paper and even looked in the mirror before he left. He had also put on a very plain set of spirit qi clothes. Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m
Could overly plain looks also attract attention?
I couldn't look more average! Why are you staring at me? If you find me ugly, most of you have even plainer looks than me.
Lin Yuan grumbled to himself.
However, he neglected the fact that Faceless Paper could change one's appearance but not one's bone structure or aura.
The beauty of one's bone structure and aura was usually in contrast with one's features.
People who had more pleasing features usually had less remarkable bone structures and auras.
Now that Lin Yuan's appearance was suppressed to its full extent, his perfect bone structure was like a large cannon for his aura. However, he was completely unaware of this.
At that moment, an elder Creation Master who had been surrounded by a group of fawning younger Creation Masters walked toward Lin Yuan and said haughtily, "Buddy, are you also here to take part in Whale Ocean Commerce's test?"
Lin Yuan smiled and nodded.
The elderly man looked at Lin Yuan's chest and saw no Creation Master crest. Hence, he asked, "You seem young. You can't be older than 18 years old. Are you a Class 1 Creation Master?"
With Lin Yuan's face shape, he could continue to look like he was in his 20s well into his 30s and 40s.
He had always been frustrated by his youthful looks.
Despite being over 18 years old, he still looked like he was 16 years old.
The Faceless Paper had only changed his looks and not his bone structure. Hence, he still looked rather young.
When the elderly man mentioned the Creation Master crest, Lin Yuan took out his Class 2 Creation Master crest and placed it over the left side of his chest.
The Creation Master crest was the most obvious way to display one's Creation Master status.
Given Lin Yuan's current age, he would receive many questions if he did not wear his Creation Master crest.
It went without saying that he did not put on the Class 2 Creation Master crest that the Moon Empress had given to him because Whale Ocean Commerce would discard their plans when they saw it, regardless of how desperate they were.
The elderly man gasped when he saw Lin Yuan's Class 2 Creation Master crest, and the Creation Masters around them also turned to look at him in shock.
After all, it was rare to see a Class 2 Creation Master who was only around 16 years old.
Only veteran and top factions could produce such talented descendants.
After a short pause of surprise, the elderly man exclaimed, "It really is true that the best comes from the young. I was more than 30 years old by the time I became a Class 2 Creation Master. If I became a Class 2 Creation Master at your young age, I would probably be a higher class Creation Master now."
Lin Yuan could tell from the Creation Master crest on the elderly man's chest that he was a Class 3 Creation Master. He was very close to becoming a Class 4 Creation Master.
Normally, people who became Class 2 Creation Masters before they reached 20 years old would become Class 4 Creation Masters by the time they reached 80 years old as long as no accidents happened along the way.
The average age of king-class experts in the Radiance Federation was almost 200 years old, so they were considered middle-aged at 80 years old.
Zong Ze and Gu Lang were already pinnacle Class 3 Creation Masters, and they could temporarily concoct Grade 4 spirit fluids using special methods.
However, neither of them chose to take the Class 4 Creation Master test. This was not because they were unwilling to do so but because the Class 4 Creation Master test was not as simple as the Class 3 Creation Master test.
The Class 4 Creation Master test lasted for a full week. During the week, they would draw questions and fulfill the tasks seven times. This meant that they would have to concoct seven bottles of Grade 4 spirit fluids.
Zong Ze and Gu Lang could easily concoct one bottle of Grade 4 spirit fluid with special methods, but it would leave them drained.
If they were overly drained, their roots would be damaged.
Chapter 1497: Appearance of Fangs
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Yuan had participated in the Allstar Match and was chosen as the lucky member of the audience who challenged the Savage Snake Guild Club. As such, his face was known throughout the Radiance Federation.
However, no one had linked him to the Moon Empress' disciple. 𝒂ll new st𝒐ries at n0ve/lbi/𝒏.c𝒐m
After the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection ended, Lin Yuan was confident that Black's popularity would dominate every person who participated in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection until he became the trending topic on Star Web.
Black's trending topic would need a competitor. Otherwise, the commotion would end quickly.
As such, Lin Yuan planned on taking the Class 3 and 4 Creation Master tests after the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection was over and releasing the news that he was a Class 4 Creation Master.
This way, his two identities would be able to fight for popularity on Star Web again, and Lin Yuan would be able to harvest even more faith power.
Frankly, Lin Yuan did not have a strong Creation Master ability, and he did not use traditional Creation Master techniques. Instead, he used his special abilities and the Spirit Lock spatial zone.
In the past, Lin Yuan would not have the courage to take the Class 3 Creation Master exam, much less the Class 4 Creation Master exam.
It would be fine if he drew a question that involved evolving a Bronze and Silver fey's quality.
But if he drew a question that involved evolving a Platinum fey to Diamond, it would be easy for a Class 3 Creation Master, but Lin Yuan would be stumped.
Now, he had Genius, and it would be able to easily handle the Class 4 Creation Master test.
During the test, the spirit fluids being concocted were so special that the test was not supervised.
Although Lin Yuan's methods were special, no one could refute him that Genius and the Hundred Questions Beasts were part of his power.
After pinning the Class 2 Creation Master crest on, he could sense many Creation Masters around him looking at him warily and with slight resentment. Evidently, they saw him as their rival.
The elderly man who struck up a conversation with Lin Yuan was now observing him carefully.
Judging from the spirit qi clothes that Lin Yuan was wearing, the elderly man was certain that this talented Class 2 Creation Master did not have anything special up his sleeve.
People with special abilities would not choose to put on spirit qi clothes woven from the Bronze Sand Silkworm.
"Buddy, you will probably catch the eye of someone from Sea Sky Nurture and might even become the disciple of one of the pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters."
The elderly man's words only attracted more hatred for Lin Yuan.
However, there were more Creation Masters who admired him than envied him.
Creation Masters might hold a very different position from other lifestyle-class spirit qi professionals, but there was also a distinct pyramid amongst the Creation Masters.
A pinnacle Class 3 Creation Master had already praised Lin Yuan in the few short minutes since his arrival. This was proof of his power.
There was a high chance that his plain-looking young man could be picked and accepted as a disciple by one of Sea Sky Nurture's pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters.
As such, many Class 1 and 2 Creation Masters walked up to Lin Yuan to introduce themselves in the hopes of becoming acquainted with him.
There was an attendant from Ten Thousand Flags Trading nearby who was verifying the Creation Masters' identities.
When the attendance was almost full, the attendant summoned a light green elemental-shaped object that let out a piercing shriek that morphed into a humanoid voice.
The shrill and hoarse voice said, "Everyone, get ready. The Floating Light Feather Cranes will be here to fetch you to the residence soon."
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the light green elemental-shaped object.
He saw that it was the source-type item called the Elemental Wind.
However, it had been nurtured in a horrible way.
Using mottled wind-elemental energy to nurture the Elemental Wind was a waste.
However, it was more effective to use the Elemental Wind than a trumpet.
All the chatter died down when the Creation Masters heard what the attendant said.
Their eyes lit up with the hope that this journey would take them to a brighter future.
Even if they could not be accepted as a disciple by one of Sea Sky Nurture's Class 4 Creation Masters, it would also be a good opportunity to join Whale Ocean Commerce.
After all, having the support of a top faction was better than having to fight on their own.
Besides, they were mere employees who only had to concentrate on work and would receive wages higher than what they earned freelancing.
In less than three minutes, Lin Yuan saw the shadow of a large crane appear in the distance.
The Floating Light Wings Crane was a crane-species fey with an extremely strong bloodline.
The wind- and light-type Floating Light Wings Crane was comfortable to ride and was the fastest Diamond avian-type fey.
Only a top faction like Whale Ocean Commerce could send out more than 10 Diamond Floating Light Wings Crane.
Before Gray became a Heavenly Family Fey, it was also from the winged crane species.
This was enough to indicate the Floating Light Wings Crane's value.
Many Creation Masters smiled when they saw that Whale Ocean Commerce was willing to send out the Floating Light Wings Cranes to fetch them because it showed how sincere they were.
After climbing aboard the Floating Light Wings Crane, Lin Yuan noticed that the attendants who had come to receive the Creation Masters were all very friendly to the Creation Masters, while the riders looked extremely composed.
Lin Yuan could also see a hint of amusement in their calm eyes.
As such, he thought,?It looks like very few people within Whale Ocean Commerce know about the plan.
If a person was accustomed to treating Creation Masters as prey, they would not respect Creation Masters at all, regardless of how high their class was.
This was not surprising because Whale Ocean Commerce's plan involved taking lives, and it would be bad if many people knew about it. It was likely that only the higher ranks knew about it.
Since this rider was aware of the situation, Lin Yuan walked up to him, intending to get some information out of him.
But when Lin Yuan drew near, the person spoke before Lin Yuan could get a chance to.
"Before I came, the head of the family gave me a mission. Whale Ocean Commerce's test is very important, and you are not allowed to bring your phone to the test. Please hand all of your phones over to me. You will get them back after the test."
Lin Yuan halted when he heard what this person said, and the faces of the Creation Masters behind him fell.
Phones were personal items that were directly linked to the owner's privacy.
Even a regular person would be unwilling to have their phone taken away, much less an arrogant Creation Master.
Chapter 1498: The Sacred Source Lifeform Decay Body Flesh Ginseng
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
However, Lin Yuan knew that they would not allow him to keep his phone even if he protested.
Whale Ocean Commerce could not give the Creation Masters a chance to leak information.
When the man turned around, Lin Yuan felt a strong heft of pressure that he had experienced from Duan He and Ji Feng in the past.
This meant that the rider that Whale Ocean Commerce sent to steer the Floating Light Wings Crane was an emperor-class expert.
If they did not hand over their phones, it was likely that blood would be spilled. After all, it was always a good idea to punish one person to make an example out of them.
If there were emperor-class experts amongst the Creation Masters, a fight could break out between the two sides and result in the Floating Light Wings Crane being unable to return to Whale Ocean Commerce's residence.
This would cause Lin Yuan to be unable to carry out his plan in Whale Ocean Commerce.
Lin Yuan decided that he did not want this to happen, so he was the first to give up his phone.
He had contacted Night Leaning Moon once after boarding the Floating Light Wings Crane, and she told him that the 5,000 Spirit Guards were already at their stations. They were waiting for him to give the signal by shattering the Night Jade.
People were fundamentally all sheep. When Lin Yuan took the initiative to give up his phone, the other unwilling but weak-willed Creation Masters also gave up their phones. When the strongly resistant Creation Masters saw that more than half of the Creation Masters had given up their phones, they also gave up.
Soon, every Creation Master had handed their phones.
The other Floating Light Wings Crane did not have someone like Lin Yuan to get the ball rolling, and the process of collecting the phones did not go well. Fights had already broken out.
However, they were still in midair and had not arrived at Whale Ocean Commerce's residence, and the Creation Masters could escape if they summoned their feys.
The greeters from Whale Ocean Commerce played good cop while the riders of the Floating Light Wings Cranes played bad cop. After bringing up the possible benefits that came with being under a top faction like Whale Ocean Commerce, all the phones were finally collected.
At that moment, many Creation Masters frowned as they sensed that something was wrong.
Unfortunately, they had already arrived at Whale Ocean Commerce's residence.
Lin Yuan looked around at the surroundings and saw that the residence was beautifully decorated and looked like a sprawling natural scenery. It made one feel completely relaxed.
From the way that the interior of the residence was decorated, it could not be more clear that Whale Ocean Commerce was one of the top three top factions.
Meanwhile…
In Whale Ocean Commerce's study room, Di Wantian and Di Wancheng were standing next to a person wrapped in a black robe.
The usually strict Di Wantian said to the black-robed person in a gentle voice, "Third Sister, you shouldn't be under sunlight in your current condition. However, we are running out of time. I didn't expect the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift to open so quickly. We are taking a risk by recruiting so many Creation Masters for a test. Gẹtt the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐v𝒆ls at 𝒏.o/(v)/e/l/bi𝒏.co𝒎
"Now that the market is so volatile and Creation Master resources are so scarce, many people on Star Web have linked the matter to us. No matter how busy the members of royalty are, they will definitely come and visit us in a week's time. It will be up to you whether we succeed!"
A weak voice said from within the black robe, "Big Brother, I can do it. Four Beasts Territory is a top faction supported by Furnace Stone Metal.
"Furnace Stone Metal does not have strong Creation Master resources and has invested a lot into building up Four Beasts Territory's Creation Master resources. Thankfully, Stone Furnace Stone Metal aims to enable Four Beasts Territory to dominate the beast-type fey market. Otherwise, I would not have been able to absorb so many knowledge-filled bodies.
"I am almost done absorbing Four Beasts Territory's Class 4 Creation Masters. I have not been able to start absorbing their Class 3 and below Creation Masters. You can send them to the dark room alongside the Creation Masters who arrived a few days ago and those who will be arriving today. I am confident that I will be able to absorb half of their bodies and become a Class 5 Creation Master."
Di Wantian immediately sent Di Wancheng off to make preparations.
Di Wancheng had been panicking ever since the morning.
Although he had already reached Immortal, this matter was extremely important and involved not just Whale Ocean Commerce's honor and glory but also the lives of thousands of Creation Masters.
When Third Sister said that she only needed to absorb half of the Creation Masters' bodies to become a Class 5 Creation Master, Di Wancheng said, "Third Sister, if you only need half of the Creation Masters' bodies, what do you plan to do with the other half?"
The weak voice replied menacingly, "Second Brother, I can continue to absorb the bodies full of knowledge after I become a Class 5 Creation Master. They can be like my dessert. I will only be able to become a Class 5 Creation Master because of my mutated soul and sacred source lifeform. The Decay Body Flesh Ginseng has reached pinnacle 7 Stars. The thousands of Creation Masters can enable the Decay Body Flesh Ginseng to evolve to 8 Stars this time."
Di Wancheng and Di Wantian were shocked.
They were still under the impression that Third Sister's sacred source lifeform was 6 Stars and was in its adolescent stage.
When did it reach its mature age of pinnacle 7 Stars?
Despite being the head of Whale Ocean Commerce and an Immortal expert, Di Wantian's sacred source lifeform had only just reached 7 Stars.
If Third Sister's sacred source lifeform reached pinnacle 7 Stars, her power would reach an unimaginable level.
She only mentioned that her sacred source lifeform reached 7 Stars today. Could she be hiding more things from Wancheng and me?
However, Di Wantian did not have the time to ask these questions. It was more important for Third Sister to become a Class 5 Creation Master because that was the only way she would be able to save Whale Ocean Commerce from the members of royalty and open the gates of glory for them.
Di Wancheng and Di Wantian were so busy fussing about that they completely missed the spot of darkness in the girl's gaze.
The darkness encompassed detachment and derision.
It was the look of a higher being sneering at mortals.
The girl's lips curled when she thought about the feast that she was about to dig into.
Chapter 1499: The Fight that was About to Break Out

At first, the Creation Masters assumed that they would be able to enjoy good food and lodging when they arrived at Whale Ocean Commerce's residence.
They thought that Whale Ocean Commerce would hold a banquet that night to welcome all of them and that the pinnacle Class 4 Creation Masters would be in attendance.
After all, there were almost 10 Class 4 Creation Masters amongst the thousands of Creation Masters who had signed up. Two of them had also reached advanced Class 4 Creation Master, while one of them had reached pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master. They were very notable personalities in the Radiance Federation.
Any pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master would be a hot commodity in a top faction. If a pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master joined a rising faction like Dark Clouds Bird Shrine, they would immediately be given the rank of an Elder.
This pinnacle Class 4 Creation Master was named He Ji, and she was one of the rare female Creation Masters.
She had come to Whale Ocean Commerce because she was old friends with a few of Sea Sky Nurture's Creation Masters. However, she had not seen her friends or heard a whiff of their news in over a decade.
She was more here to visit friends than to participate in Whale Ocean Commerce's test.
At that moment, all of the expectations of the Creation Masters fell flat.
Whale Ocean Commerce seemed to be in a rush. An Elder from Ten Thousand Flags Trading appeared and said to the group, "All of you are the last batch of Creation Masters to arrive at Whale Ocean Commerce. The earlier batches have already started working. We have also hired Four Beasts Territory's high-class Creation Masters. Please go and meet up with the other Creation Masters, and we will assign you tasks."
The faces of many Creation Masters fell. He Ji was the most disappointed of them all.
She took a step forward and asked the Elder haughtily, "Di Zhanhong, you probably recognize me. Are you in such a rush that you can't even give us time to settle down?"
Di Zhanhong looked at the person who spoke, and alarm bells rang in his head.
He Ji had a bad temper. Moreover, she had gained a sharper mind with age and was not easily fooled.
But at this point, Di Zhanhong could not be bothered to try and explain the situation to He Ji. Thus, he cobbled together a lie and said, "We have encountered some problems, and all the Elders from Sea Sky Nurture are working overtime to address the issues. Senior He Ji, it's a good thing that you're here. With all these Creation Masters here, we were planning to ask all of you to help with the issues."
Ever since the Creation Masters' phones were taken away on the Floating Light Wings Crane, He Ji sensed that something was definitely wrong.
Sea Sky Nurture's Creation Masters were all very knowledgeable.
The First Elder of Sea Sky Nurture had only been a step away from becoming a Class 5 Creation Master. If he could not settle the problem, she would be helpless as well.
The Class 1 and 2 Creation Master would also only be able to stand by and watch without offering any actual help.
How was one supposed to concoct spirit fluids when there was a group of Creation Masters huddled together? One sneeze and all the spirit fluids would fail.
Moreover, Sea Sky Nurture's First Elder was friendly and loved hosting. Given his personality, he should have arranged for many attendants to welcome all these Creation Masters rather than what was happening now—they were not even given accommodations!
Suddenly, He Ji felt as though they were a herd of the Black Back Mountain Boars who were currently being herded to slaughter.
Ever since their phones were taken away, a fire of rage had been lit within many of the Creation Masters.
Now that He Ji had spoken first, a few Class 3 Creation Masters started to speak up. "I like working in a quiet environment. If even Sea Sky Nurture's Elders and Four Beasts Territory's high-class Creation Masters can't solve the problem, we won't be of any help either. I need to make a call and contact my student. Since the test hasn't started and I still have no idea what the test entails, it should be fine for me to make a few calls."
Many Class 1 and 2 Creation Masters let out voices of agreement.
The other Class 4 Creation Masters besides He Ji frowned. They looked determined to receive an explanation from Di Zhanhong.
Since they had become Class 4 Creation Masters, they did not need to worry about offending any faction.
If something did not work in one place, it could work in another. If this faction did not give them proper treatment, other factions would be willing to do so.
Creation Masters were a key source of production.
Since Whale Ocean Commerce was treating them in such a manner, the Class 4 Creation Masters decided to give up and leave.
When Lin Yuan saw how volatile the situation was becoming, he had a bad feeling. Alll 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n/.c𝒐m
Although they had arrived at the Whale Ocean Commerce's residence, they had not met up with the other Creation Masters who had arrived in advance.
Firstly, Lin Yuan was still unsure of Whale Ocean Commerce's goal.
Secondly, he was afraid that he would be unable to protect the Creation Masters who were present if he stepped in now.
Hence, he needed to prevent a fight from breaking out between the Creation Masters and the people from Whale Ocean Commerce and convince them to agree to meet up with the other Creation Master. This was the only way that they would be able to push Whale Ocean Commerce into revealing their hidden fangs and enable Lin Yuan to discover Whale Ocean Commerce's true scheme.
Lin Yuan elbowed his way to the front and said, "Why don't we go and take a look at the situation first? I am friends with Sea Sky Nurture's Young Leader Ji Feng. The main reason for me being here is to visit him."
Lin Yuan turned to Di Zhanhong and asked, "Ji Feng should be at the test location, right?"
Di Zhangong looked deeply into Lin Yuan's eyes for a moment before he replied, "You're right. Young Master Ji Feng and the other Elders of Sea Sky Nurture are at the test location. If you're here to visit him, you will be able to meet with him at the test location."
The word 'meet' reverberated in Lin Yuan's head.
Ten Thousand Flags Trading had personally killed all the Elders of Sea Sky Nurture.
Ji Feng, who had managed to escape, was no different from a dead man in the eyes of Ten Thousand Flags Trading.
By meet, they meant that he was going to die along with the rest of them.
When He Ji heard Di Zhanhong say that the Elders of Sea Sky Nurture were all at the test location, she took a step back. She decided to ignore Di Zhanhong's disrespect and put a pause on any decisions until she met up with the Elders of Sea Sky Nurture.
Chapter 1500: Are You Trying to End Four Beasts Territory?

Although He Ji had acquiesced, the other Class 3 and 4 Creation Masters had no intention of doing so.
Hence, the situation was still extremely tense.
But without He Ji representing them, the other two Class 4 Creation Masters did not voice out their thoughts.
Clearly, the scales of power in the situation were tipping toward Di Zhanhong.
At this moment, a deep voice said, "Apologies, everyone. Whale Ocean Commerce has been swamped with work because of the test, so we haven't had the time to provide you with the best conditions. Why don't you head to the test location with me first? After all of you gather together, we will hold a giant banquet to welcome all of you."
A tall man with a light gold shirt walked toward the group. He had a pair of phoenix eyes that gave him a sinister look.
However, Lin Yuan could tell that there was a hint of solemness and hesitation in his expression.
Di Zhanhong hastily dipped his head and said, "Second Young Master."
Di Wancheng waved at Di Zhanhong to dismiss him.
Recently, Di Wancheng had become a hot topic amongst the factions.
Ever since Whale Ocean Commerce exposed Di Wancheng, Whale Ocean Commerce gained the chance to get a leg up on the Cage of Brahma Insects and Rhine Lifeform.
Now that Di Wancheng had gained Immortal power, the Class 3 Creation Masters had no choice but to back down.
He Ji was the only one who had the right to talk to Di Wancheng as an equal, but she was intentionally remaining silent now.
Hence, the resistant Creation Masters also lost the courage to fight back.
Di Wancheng started by nodding to He Ji before he walked over to greet her.
During this time, his gaze landed on Lin Yuan, and his eyes immediately narrowed.
Lin Yuan's aura was indeed special. However, Di Wancheng could sense that Lin Yuan was only a B-rank spirit qi professional and was not capable of making any significant waves.
Di Wancheng could see through Lin Yuan immediately because he had asked the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen to stop blocking his grade.
If Di Wancheng could not see through him, he would definitely become suspicious.
When Lin Yuan thought that Di Wancheng was about to turn his gaze away, Di Wancheng said, "Did you say that you're good friends with Feng? He has been laying low alongside the other Elders of Sea Sky Nurture for over a decade. You were probably just a young child ten years ago."
Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan replied with a smile, "The friendships you make in your youth are the deepest. I remember that Di Hao once announced his friendship with Ji Feng on Star Web. Unfortunately, I can't compete with their friendship since they were able to see each other over the last ten years."
When Lin Yuan mentioned Di Hao, Di Wancheng's expression changed. Lin Yuan noticed this.
Di Wancheng looked at Lin Yuan as though he was looking at a dead man and said to the crowd, "Follow me. This test is so important that we built a special location for it. When you enter through the underground palace, stay neatly lined up and don't make too much noise."
If Di Zhanhong had been the one who said this, the Class 2 and 3 Creation Masters would have immediately been displeased.
However, it was Di Wancheng who had spoken.
Lin Yuan decided that he would blend in with the crowd.
But just as he was about to join the group of moving bodies, He Ji grabbed his wrist and whispered into his ear, "Walk next to me. You're from Whale Ocean Commerce, right?"
Lin Yuan's lips twitched, but he immediately realized why He Ji had come to such a conclusion.
He remembered that he had been on the same Floating Light Wings Crane as He Ji.
It had been evident that the greeter attendant and the Floating Light Wings Crane's rider had been playing good cop and bad cop. When this plan did not work, they needed someone to pretend to take advantage of the situation to enable Whale Ocean Commerce to reach its goal.
Lin Yuan should be the mole planted amongst the crowd who would help Whale Ocean Commerce when things were not going their way.
However, Lin Yuan had done all this to achieve his goal, and the results were coincidental.
Naturally, Lin Yuan could not tell He Ji about this. He did not nod, nor did he deny it. Instead, he cupped his hands together and followed her submissively.
This caused a wave of anger to bubble up within He Ji, and it almost erupted. She felt as though this young man next to her was like a brick wall that was impossible to get through.
Soon, Di Wancheng led the group to the underground palace that was built in the mountain behind Whale Ocean Commerce.
This underground palace looked similar to the one in the Return from Faraway Mansion.
This was because Whale Ocean Commerce could also afford to instruct the Spirit Craftsmen to use Suzerain metal-type and spatial-type spiritual ingredients to turn the basement into a cage that was blocked off from the world. No one on the surface would be aware of what happened inside the basement.
Di Wancheng opened the door to the basement with one hand.
Lin Yuan immediately caught a whiff of the faint odor of decay. Alll 𝒍𝒂test nov𝒆l𝒔 on novelb𝒊n/.c𝒐m
Creation Masters were very used to this stink because many spiritual ingredients were more effective after they rotted.
They walked through the door into a long tunnel lined with lanterns containing strange flames. As such, the tunnel was as bright as the surface.
Di Wancheng did not walk in. Rather, he stood by the entrance and watched as all the Creation Masters marched in.
When the last Creation Master stepped through the door, Di Wancheng walked in and locked the door behind him.
He smiled like a hungry beast, and the Creation Masters at the back of the line felt a chill go up their spines.
Lin Yuan and He Ji were walking at the front. He lost track of how many flights of stairs he had descended.
He estimated that he had been walking for 20 minutes ever since he entered the tunnel. As for the height, he was at least 800 meters underground now.
As for the height, he was at least 800 meters underground now. This was much deeper than the Return from Faraway Mansion's basement.
At this moment, an angry cry of desperation screamed, "What has Whale Ocean Commerce done to my grandfather, father, and uncle? Why haven't I seen them in four days? Why did you have to kill the Class 3 Creation Masters from Four Beasts Territory? Are you trying to end Four Beasts Territory!?"
