Chapter 249: Fifth-Rank Sun Flower Emperor? Sun Flower Immortal?

Zhang Lingxue's mission was now much simpler.

She only needed to wait for the Sword Butterflies to breed, and as long as each Sword Butterfly laid more than two Sword Butterfly Eggs, the mission would be complete.

When that time came, it would be the start of their counterattack.

Resurrection Society.

Amidst swirling green mist, a Gongdian constructed from eerie white bones and entwined with countless wailing vengeful spirits loomed in and out of sight, occupying one corner of the underground cavern.

The gates of the Gongdian were built from bleached white bones, and the hollow skulls were filled with pale blue Soul Fire.

They stared fixedly at every black-robed figure walking into the Gongdian with chilling, empty eyes.

Stepping through the Gongdian gates, cold black winds carried endless wailing and miserable weeping, echoing incessantly, with resentment surging straight into the sky.

High-hanging white lanterns emitted a faint, ghostly blue light, illuminating the countless ferocious white bones on the ground.

The long corridors of the Gongdian were bottomless; the walls on both sides were covered in twisted, painful faces, their eyes hollow, shedding black blood-tears, their mouths opening and closing as if lamenting the tragedy and unwillingness of their lives.

The white lanterns would open their eyes from time to time, revealing a mouth filled with sharp teeth.

Looking closely, a ferocious skull was hidden within the fabric of these white lanterns.

A long, narrow, lit candle was stuck into the skull, emitting a ghostly blue light.

This flame seemed to use souls as fuel, and bursts of wailing sounds emanated from it.

In the very center of the Gongdian stood a massive bone throne.

Two women dressed as widows stood beside it.

They wore black blindfolds, and their mouths had been sewn shut.

Dressed in black gowns, one could tell from the lividity on the backs of their hands that they were already dead.

Every corner of the Gongdian was filled with wailing, wronged souls.

They wandered in corners or paced between the pillars, their faces twisted and struggling, their expressions pained, as if seeking a path to liberation.

The air was permeated with the scent of decay and death, and ghostly blue Soul Fire drifted in mid-air.

This was the Ai Hao Gongdian, where the Ling Saint Child, one of the three Saint Children of the Resurrection Society, resided.

A pale-faced young man stood up from a gilded coffin.

"I slept so well; no one disturbed me."

"As expected, the world of the undead is the best; there is no breathing, and the sound of wailing is everywhere."

"This is the most beautiful and moving musical score in the world."

The Ling Saint Child walked to the bone throne, and the woman dressed as a widow presented the intelligence in her hand to the Ling Saint Child.

After reading the intelligence, the Ling Saint Child smiled.

"That guy, the Blood Saint Child, really capsized in the gutter."

"I previously deliberately forged an Ancient Tomb and placed the secret arts of Soul Rebirth and Soul Splitting inside it."

"I then guided the Blood Saint Child to take the secret arts; that brainless thing really fell for the trap."

The Ling Saint Child had passed on information that was ninety-nine percent true and one percent false.

The result was that because of this one percent, the effect was greatly diminished.

The cultivation was fine, but there were many side effects.

"As expected, the Blood Saint Child killed himself, but it is truly great that his inheritance did not return to the Chuan Cheng Xue Chi."

The Ling Saint Child rested his head on one hand, a look of calculation flashing in his eyes.

The Blood Saint Child's inheritance was very important for the Trinity Project.

But the Ling Saint Child only wanted to maintain the current situation.

He only wanted to re-select a Blood Saint Child, rather than letting this Trinity Project continue.

The Ling Saint Child had inadvertently learned a secret: the three of them were actually sacrifices for the true Rebirth of the Resurrection Society's leader.

And the three Elders were the supervisors.

Whoever seized the final inheritance would become the target for the leader's possession.

This was why, sixteen years ago, when the Blood Saint Child died, the Ling Saint Child not only did not take over the Blood Saint Child's forces but also ordered his subordinates not to intervene, fighting the Neng Saint Child to the death over it.

Even the Blood Saint Child's soul reincarnation had been completed with his help.

"The Blood Saint Child really is a hopeless case."

"I am actually hoping someone can take away the Blood Saint Child's inheritance."

"That way, the Trinity Project will be unable to continue."

"However, I should stir the waters to make them even murkier."

The Ling Saint Child soon had a new idea and gave instructions to the widow-corpse at his side.

Ye Bai followed the Nether Wolf, charging recklessly inside the Jianmu.

The wood-type Exotic Beasts controlled by the Jianmu had already been wiped out by the Nether Wolf in several waves.

At this moment, Ye Bai's Insight Eye suddenly transmitted an anomaly, and the patterns on his eyes shifted immediately.

Two lines of blood-tears flowed from Ye Bai's eyes; it seemed to be here.

"Nether Wolf, let's change direction and head that way!"

Ye Bai pointed in a direction and said to the Nether Wolf.

The Nether Wolf sprinted forward with long strides; the Jianmu seemed to be enraged.

The secret of the Jianmu seemed to be hidden there.

One could see streaks of green light emerging, and the passage in front was shrinking at an extremely fast speed.

The Jianmu seemed to want to trap Ye Bai alive inside the passage. "Nether Wolf!!"

The Nether Wolf understood Ye Bai's meaning.

Its speed became even faster.

Moreover, the flame shield erupting from its body even burned countless roots emerging from the passage to ashes.

Finally, at the moment the passage completely disappeared, the Nether Wolf rushed out of the passage.

At this moment, Ye Bai's Insight Eye sent forth a commotion.

A very hungry sensation was transmitted from the Insight Eye.

A golden lake appeared before his eyes, its surface covered with countless roots as thin as hair, as if the pulse of the earth were slowly beating here.

Golden liquid seeped out from the roots like raindrops, dripping into the lake below.

The lake water was clear to the bottom and rippling, just like specks of gold dancing in the lake.

Around this lake grew some special plants; their leaves were emerald green and dripping with dew, shimmering with a jewel-like luster.

In the center of the lake was a patch of black and white lotuses; their leaves were as wide as platters, floating gently on the water, and among them were several flower buds on the verge of blooming.

Ye Bai's gaze was instantly drawn to the golden lake.

He could feel that the lotuses in the lake were what the Insight Eye truly craved.

"This seems to be the core location of the Jianmu."

Ye Bai did not feel a shred of danger here; instead, he felt a sense of quiet and peace.

The Sunflower Emperor took the lead and plunged into the lake.

It was greedily absorbing the golden liquid.

"Hey, let go of me, I want some too."

The Mandrake Emperor seemed to have already recognized what those things were.

"Let go of me, that is Life Source Liquid, the origin of wood-type Exotic Beasts; as long as I can devour this origin, I will be able to evolve into a Tier 5 Pet Beast."

The Mandrake Emperor struggled frantically, wanting to rush into the lake.

At the same time, it also had a little scheme unknown to others: it wanted to be the first to advance into a Tier 5 Exotic Beast and then shake off its enslavement by the Sunflower Emperor.

"Mandrake Emperor, what kind of treasure is that, and what are its effects? If you answer, I will let you in."

Ye Bai pointed at the black and white lotuses and said to the Mandrake Emperor.

"That is the Taiji Yin-Yang Lotus, also called the Three Thousand Lotus; it is a Tier 7 heavenly treasure, and it is extremely demanding of its growth environment."

"It requires one thousand years to grow, one thousand years to bloom, and one thousand years to bear fruit."

"Its lotus seeds are the true treasure."

"The Taiji Yin-Yang Lotus only grows in an absolutely safe environment, so the Taiji Yin-Yang Lotus generally lives in very remote places. Ye Bai, go ahead and pick it; there is no danger here."

The Mandrake Emperor spilled the beans as quickly as a bamboo tube pouring out beans.

Ye Bai nodded and did indeed let the Mandrake Emperor enter the lake.

"Space Pelican, let's fly over."

The Space Pelican flapped its wings gently and glided over the lake surface; wherever it passed, ripples appeared in the lake.

The closer it got to the black and white lotuses, the greater the reaction of the Insight Eye, as if it were about to burst out of his eye sockets.

At this time, the Mandrake Emperor dove headfirst into the lake; it curled into a ball, and every cell in its body was cheering and devouring.

"Once I successfully evolve, I will shed my old body and become a precious medicine."

"By that time, a single drop of my blood will have the effect of bringing the dead back to life and regrowing flesh on bones."

"I will be able to roam as free as a fish in the sea and a bird in the sky."

The Sunflower Emperor was gulping down the Life Source Liquid.

It had already reached the threshold of advancement.

At this moment, the Sunflower Emperor was condensing a seed.

It injected all of its life force into that golden seed.

The seed soon sprouted and gradually grew.

At this time, the Sunflower Emperor had also turned into a giant sunflower, and a golden seedling appeared on the sunflower's flower disk.

The sunflower used itself as a medium, devouring the Life Source Liquid to strengthen itself.

Soon, the golden seedling grew up, sprouted golden leaves, and formed a golden sunflower.

A flash of spiritual light emerged from the petals, forming a shimmering golden sprite in mid-air.

This sprite had golden hair and green eyes, with two pairs of transparent wings on its back, and its two eyes were bright and spirited.

The sprite looked down at the reflection in the lake and was startled by its current form.

However, it felt that it looked quite good in this form.

But this form did not last long before it turned into light and returned to the Sunflower Emperor's main body.

The Sunflower Emperor blinked its eyes, feeling as if it had been dreaming.

The life aura contained within the Jianmu's Life Source Liquid allowed the Sunflower Emperor's wood origin to achieve a major breakthrough.

The Sunflower Emperor advanced directly into a Tier 5 Pet Beast, and at the same time, the prototype of a Sunflower Fairy appeared.

Once the Sunflower Emperor obtains Emperor Flowing Syrup and Sun Crystals, and Ye Bai breaks through to Tier 6, it will become a Sunflower Fairy without any obstacles.
