Chapter 727 - 723: Golden

At that moment, the crowd slowly parted to make way, and an elder dressed in dark red sacrificial robes stepped forward.

His eyes bore a wise expression, and a faint aura of spiritual power surrounded him.

"Golden High Priest, Miss Ayao has come back to life, out of so many she-beasts, she is the only one who survived. It was the Holy Tree that revived her, she must be the Holy Envoy chosen by the Holy Tree."

The Golden High Priest took a careful look at Su Muyao, feeling somewhat surprised.

It seemed he didn’t expect a female to actually come back to life.

Has the Holy Tree truly manifested?

The Golden High Priest turned to look in the direction of the Holy Tree, feeling that the glow emanating from the tree branch patterns was somehow different.

He looked closely at Su Muyao again; indeed, not only was she alive, she was completely normal.

The Golden High Priest exclaimed in amazement, "The Holy Tree has indeed manifested, Young Master Lian is saved, which means your tribe is saved too."

The Golden High Priest was a priest of the Golden Leopard Tribe and had come out specifically to find the Holy Female, also the Holy Envoy of the Holy Tree.

He was also looking for hope to save the Young Master.

This is one of the prophecies, which at first people didn’t quite believe, but as Young Master Lian grew weaker, on the brink of demise, people could only try this method, treating a dead horse as if it were alive.

Unexpectedly, such a female did appear.

After the Golden High Priest finished speaking, the beastmen of the Spirit Rabbit Clan knelt down in unison, their foreheads heavily extending to the ground, movements uniform, muttering incantations, "Greetings, Holy Envoy."

Their voices carried an undeniable tone of devoutness and reverence as they bowed.

Su Muyao watched this scene, thinking she was seeing an illusion.

What exactly is happening here.

How did she become the Holy Envoy.

Yet no matter how you look at it, this must be the Taixu Secret Realm.

It’s different from what she imagined as the Secret Realm.

Su Muyao called out to the system in her mind, "System, do you know what’s going on?"

Su Muyao summoned the system for a while, but the system remained silent.

Su Muyao’s heart sank, no matter what, since she was here, she must accept it.

Let’s see what exactly is happening.

Also, that Young Master Lian, I don’t even know who he is.

But the name ’Lian’ makes her cautious.

...

Afterwards, Su Muyao was taken back to a stone hut in the tribe.

This is where she learned that this was the remotest Spirit Rabbit Tribe, and she was a beastman of the Spirit Rabbit Clan.

She possessed some superpowers and was attacked and killed by a Mutated Beastman while gathering food in the mountains.

After that, she was sent to the Holy Tree, and seven days later, she suddenly came back to life.

Of course, all the dead females from nearby tribes were taken to the Holy Tree, and ultimately, she was the only one who survived.

So according to the prophecy of the Golden Tribe, she is the hope to save the Golden Leopard Young Master.

She is to be sent to the Golden Leopard Tribe, to marry and become the wife of the Golden Leopard Young Master.

At this moment, the system spoke in Su Muyao’s mind, "Host, isn’t this just to ward off misfortune?"

"They are making you marry the Golden Leopard Young Master to ward off misfortune."

Su Muyao spoke, "System, you’re awake."

The system replied, "Host, upon entering the Taixu Secret Realm, for some reason, my power has been suppressed."

"I might be forced into slumber again soon, and don’t know when I can wake up once more."

"This Taixu Secret Realm is very strange and dangerous, host must be careful."

"That Golden Leopard Young Master certainly is not a normal beastman either..."

After saying this, the system’s voice weakened, and it fell silent once again into slumber.

Su Muyao actually thought that contacting the Golden Leopard Young Master might be the best way to understand the situation within the Taixu Secret Realm.

Upon hearing the name ’Golden Leopard’, Su Muyao couldn’t help but think of Mei Qingchen.

At this time, she believed this was the Taixu Secret Realm because outside, whether it be the Mortal Beast Continent, Cang Beast Continent, or Fusang Continent, there was never any mention of a Golden Leopard Beastman Tribe, only Black Panther Beastmen.

Later, Su Muyao was cleaned up and dressed by the females of the tribe and sent to the Golden Leopard Tribe.

Compared to the backward Spirit Rabbit Clan Tribe, the Golden Leopard Tribe was much larger.

But the appearances of the tribes she’s seen here, the living environments are quite primitive.

While on the Mortal Beast Continent, even the Exile Tribe and Beiluo Tribe had much better environments than here.

Moreover, the pollution within the nearby forests was even more severe.

Through conversations with some beastmen from the tribe, Su Muyao also learned that food for beastmen here was scarce.

Because most grains and wild beasts are no longer edible.

Not only that, many mutated plants and mutated beasts continuously attack beastmen.

Thus, the tribe’s gates are built very discreetly, with towering stone gates and very solid stone huts.

...

The Golden Leopard Tribe

Inside Young Master Lian’s stone hut.

After being escorted inside, Su Muyao saw the beastman asleep on the bed.

Approaching closer and seeing his appearance, Su Muyao was stunned.

He was dressed in simple clothes, his skin as white as snow, with icy jade-like bones, his eyebrows and eyes exquisitely beautiful like a painting, yet sacred and mysterious, his long golden hair scattered on the bed, cold like the moon, yet carrying a sense of grace that seemed fragmented.

The lotus mark on his forehead was exposed, no longer the golden hue it once was, now seemingly tainted with a blood-stained hue, and there appeared to be additional black patterns.

At that instant, Su Muyao was shocked, seemingly turning into a statue.

She only came to her senses after a moment.

"Qing... Qing Chen."

This is truly Mei Qingchen.

She wasn’t seeing things; even the aura was the same.

But she feared that the Mei Qingchen before her might be fake, or even an illusion.

She could no longer distinguish clearly.

Su Muyao felt a sting in her nose, her eyes turning red, "Qing Chen..."

She softly murmured Mei Qingchen’s name, continuing to move forward.

When she reached the bedside, Su Muyao discovered golden vines wrapped around Mei Qingchen’s legs and arms, binding him like ropes.

These golden vines made her think of Yue Wuhen cutting off the arm of the false Mei Qingchen, leaving behind golden branches.

The gold was the same as these vines.

What kind of connection is there between them?

Moreover, these golden vines also emanated black patterns.

Even Mei Qingchen’s body was covered with a layer of peculiar spiritual light, which also had black patterns.

This reminded Su Muyao of when her awakening malfunctioned and she entered the Mei Family’s Trial Ground, entering his Spirit Sea scene.

She remembered that in Mei Qingchen’s Spirit Sea, there was a Lotus Pond and a sealed coffin.

That coffin bore many black patterns.

She broke those seals with talismans drawn in her blood within the coffin appeared a beastman identical to Mei Qingchen.

He said he was the sealed Seven-orifice Exquisite Heart.

She recalled the words he had said, that a long time ago, the Mei Family possessed Divinity Communication, capable of overturning the universe, so bodies were subjected to Forbidden Techniques, sealing powers, leading to the Mei Family’s abilities weakening.

By the time of Mei Qingchen, the strength was much reduced compared to the ancestors.

Every generation of pure blood in the Mei Family needed awakening to gain part of their power, opening some restrictions, obtaining some inheritance power, but that was just a fraction.

It was also said, by chance she opened the seal.

Because her blood was special, and had affinity with the Mei Family.

Was it that the awakening wasn’t complete at the time, or was it complete but the body’s sealed restrictions hadn’t fully opened?
