Chapter 1988
1988 Larger Storm!
“City Lord Ding, since you have entered the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm before, I would really like to know why Creation Masters are the ones entering it to search for resources. Can it be that Creation Master resources are needed in order to obtain plant-type feys with the Sacred Wood bloodline?”
Ding Chengshuo nodded and replied, “It is indeed so! According to the rules laid out by the Holy Lady, one needs to dig a hole in the ground in front of the fey with the Sacred Wood bloodline that they would like to obtain and bury Creation Master resources inside the hole. Then, they can try to dig out the plant-type fey with the Sacred Wood bloodline.
“They have to provide Creation Master resources of a certain level in order to be able to dig out the roots of the plant-type fey with the Sacred Wood bloodline. Trying to dig out the plant-type fey by force will only result in it withering rapidly.
“Moreover, no matter how discreet one tries to be, everything is known to the Holy Lady. Any faction that breaks the rules will be denied the next two future chances to enter the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm.”
Lin Yuan was slightly stunned, but a smile soon broke out on his face.
The Sacred Wood Mystic Realm sure was interesting!
Every time the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm lost a fey plant-type feys with the Sacred Wood bloodline, it received significantly impressive Creation Master resources in exchange. It was likely that the hidden lifeform absorbed the resources in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm.
The Holy Lady had to either be that lifeform in disguise or a companion of that lifeform. Regardless, she was an external medium for it.
The more information he found out about the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm, the more accurate his previous deductions became.
He heard from Yi Huailong that the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm was vast and that someone had tried to walk into its deepest area only to find that they had not reached its end after walking for 28 hours.
48 hours later, no matter where one was, one would be booted out of the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm as long as they were still alive.
Hence, Lin Yuan did not know how he would seek out the mysterious fey that had created the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm.
All he could do was use Morbius to sense and gauge a direction from the concentration of the Sacred Wood bloodline.
This way of searching might not guarantee that Lin Yuan would be able to find what he was searching for in the enormous s.p.a.ce, as his deductions had led him to the a.s.sumption that the lifeform was extremely intelligent and could very likely put up barriers to hide.
Thus, Lin Yuan intended to use himself as bait to lure out the Holy Lady and force the lifeform in the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm to meet with him.
Since the lifeform craved Creation Master resources, Lin Yuan could create a temptation for it that would be almost impossible to avoid.
Once Ding Chengshuo was done telling Lin Yuan about the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm and saw that Lin Yuan had not responded, he immediately became anxious and thought, Can it be that Lin Yuan is blaming me for not telling him about the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm’s circ.u.mstances in advance?
This thought instantly filled Ding Chengshuo with panic.
“Lord, according to the regulations of the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm, each person who enters is only allowed to take out one plant-type fey with the Sacred Wood bloodline. If you don’t have enough Creation Master resources, I do! With my Creation Master resources, you will definitely obtain a plant-type fey with the Sacred Wood bloodline that you find acceptable!”
Lin Yuan replied with a smile, “I have prepared enough Creation Master resources. I don’t need your help. We will split up and work once we enter the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm. City Lord Ding, you can rest easy and go ahead to pick out a plant-type fey of your liking.”
Lin Yuan was entering the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm with the goal of reaching its deepest depths to find that lifeform. As such, he never had any intention of following the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm’s regulations.
Furthermore, there was a good chance that that lifeform had laid out the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm’s regulations.
Once he captured the lifeform, there would be no point in reopening the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm in the future, as capturing that lifeform was the equivalent of taking over the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm itself.
At that time, Lin Yuan could try to use the lifeform’s bloodline to stain the plant-type feys of his choosing to awaken the Sacred Wood bloodline in them.
The wind that night was increasingly wild, and the branches of many tree castles which had the factions’ flags hanging off them had snapped off.
As a result, Sacred Forest City’s nightlife, which usually only ended at dawn, finished up while the sky was still pitch black.
The gusty night suited some factions’ ploys well.
The next morning, not only did the wind not subside, but it even intensified. The gales were so strong that ordinary people could not even push open their doors. As a result, many residents chose not to leave their houses that day.
At that moment, Lin Yuan appeared no different from any other young man in Oak City as he followed behind Ding Chengshuo toward the Sacred Wood Sacrificial Altar that was to the north of the imperial court.
The entrance to the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm was at the top of the Sacred Wood Sacrificial Altar.
Along the way, Ding Chengshuo continuously made small talk with other members of factions who were entering the Sacred Wood Mystic Realm.
At that moment, the conservation sounds above the Sacred Wood Sacrificial Altar suddenly quietened.
A tall and skinny middle-aged man dressed in purple and holding a pair of crimson Item-Storing Walnuts appeared.
In order for the Bronze Item-Storing Walnut to turn crimson and take on crystalline transparency, it had to be Legend quality.
Numerous people present turned their attention to the Bronze/Legend Item-Storing Walnuts in the middle-aged man’s hand, their eyes filled with envy.
Ding Chengshuo said to Lin Yuan softly, “This is the Second Master of the Su family, Su Jian. The three people behind him are main disciples of the Su family, and they are in the upper ranks of the Divine Wood Hundred Sequence.”
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.
For the Su family to send out a pinnacle Cla.s.s 4 Creation Master at this juncture, it meant that they did not want to act rashly and alarm their enemy and that they were confident in the operation they were going to carry out today.
However, Lin Yuan was curious about where the Su family’s confidence was coming from.
Could it be the Peaceful Calm Air Moss?
Lin Yuan felt that it was not enough.
At that moment, Ding Chengshuo made a noise of confusion and said, “The Su and Bai families have always been on bad terms. Why are they here together this time? Su Jian has a terrible temper. There was an incident where someone was too rowdy, and Su Jian immediately killed him. He should not be chatting so swimmingly with Bai Dong.”
A look of understanding spread across Lin Yuan’s face.
The Bai family had Immortal power, just like the Su family, and there was no way they would miss out on such a large event.
It was likely that the two families were colluding.
He could only wonder what the Su family had promised the Bai family.
It seemed that the storm in Sacred Forest City was going to be bigger.
