Chapter 533: Ultimate Transformation
Since Lin Yuan had helped Liu Jie to replenish his spiritual power, the explosive impact of his insect army during the battle was at least three times more powerful than Liu Jie’s original power.
Even if he could raise his power by at least three times, if he could not stand out in battle to blast away the obstacles in Lin Yuan’s way, he would only be able to rely on his body after the Insect Queen’s army had depleted. It would not matter how much he wanted to fulfill his duty; he would still be dead weight.
Liu Jie was unbelievably anguished by his helplessness.
He might currently be #30 in the Radiance Hundred Sequence, and the Cocoon of Evolution had started hatching inside the Insect Queen, but watching Lin Yuan improve put immense pressure on him. The Insect Queen’s huge boost in power was not enough.
Liu Jie knew that as long as Lin Yuan continued on this trajectory, he would soon surpass Liu Jie.
When that time came, the sword and shield he could become would be dull and useless in the face of his faith.
With a Master and the chance to reach for the heavens, the ever-insecure Liu Jie had a golden opportunity before him.
Night Leaning Moon needed to understand Liu Jie before she accepted him as a disciple, and Liu Jie also needed to think things through deeply.
To a loyal person like Liu Jie, the moment he addressed Night Leaning Moon as Master, he would hold her in that esteem for the rest of his life.
Night Leaning Moon frowned when she heard Liu Jie’s thanks.
“What are you thanking me for? I’m your Master. Let’s begin. I obtained this sacred source lifeform from within a Class 5 marsh dimensional rift. I hope its powers will be compatible with your Insect Queen,” said Night Leaning Moon.
No one knew what powers a sacred source lifeform contained before it was contracted.
Even an amazing expert like Night Leaning Moon could not know what the rainbow-glowing sacred source lifeform looked like.
It could be said that contracting a sacred source lifeform was just like opening a blind box, for each item in the box had its own use.
Yet, one had no clue if the item in the box would be a good fit with what one already possessed.
Night Leaning Moon’s words, and because she was Liu Jie’s Master, felt like a blessing to Liu Jie.
It did not matter even if the sacred source lifeform was of no use to the Insect Queen.
One contracted sacred source lifeform was akin to Liu Jie owning a technique that defied the laws of reality.
A few hours later, a pillar of energy shot into the sky.
All of the experts in the Spirit Guards’ headquarters looked as though they had been plunged into eternal and all-consuming darkness.
In an instant, the terrifying pressure vanished.
Several Spirit Guard experts looked in the direction of the Chief Guard’s study.
They all began guessing what could have happened to the Chief Guard for her to have released her energy all of a sudden.
At that moment, Night Leaning Moon’s lyrical voice rang out in laughter from inside the room.
She was standing beside the table, and the majestic spirit qi in her hand had formed a spirit qi vortex that was shielding the secret letter from the Guard Envoy.
A mysterious green glow shrouded Liu Jie as his eyes flew open. He looked at Night Leaning Moon rather bashfully and said, “Master, I wasn’t aware that when the sacred source lifeform formed the contract and combined with my soul that it would automatically launch an attack.”
Liu Jie might have apologized, but his gaze shone with surprise and glee.
Night Leaning Moon was wearing a black shawl over her face that hid her facial expression.
However, it was clear from the angle of her eyes that she had to be smiling.
“When one’s soul fully tames a sacred source lifeform, they will launch an attack known as Sacred Source First Cry. It’s as though it heralds the birth of a true ability, and the first cry is the sacred source lifeform’s way of declaring its existence to the world.”
Night Leaning Moon nodded with satisfaction and continued. “Judging from your contracted sacred source lifeform’s attack, I can confirm that it is a sacred source lifeform that specializes in attacking. Not bad! You’re truly my disciple! We have the same inclination.”
At long last, Liu Jie had a sacred source lifeform to call his own.
With this sacred source lifeform, Liu Jie finally understood why sacred source lifeforms were so powerful.
Besides the sacred source lifeform’s innate abilities, Liu Jie was happier to know that his contracted sacred source lifeform had some compatible abilities with the Insect Queen.
The flames of confidence erupted in Liu Jie’s eyes.
He extended his hand and touched the Class 2 Creation Master retainer crest on his chest that was lacking one corner, clutching it tightly in his hand.
Liu Jie was only using the strength in his fingers.
Liu Jie’s palm was gently closed over this damaged retainer crest as though he was afraid of squeezing and breaking it.
He was about to present his contracted sacred source lifeform to Night Leaning Moon when she interrupted him.
Night Leaning Moon’s expression was exceptionally austere and serious.
“You should never speak of the sacred source lifeform’s abilities. You can’t tell anyone, even the people closest to you!”
Night Leaning Moon only continued after she ascertained that Liu Jie was really paying attention.
“I asked someone to retrieve the Blade Queen Bee in the containment item before you came. The natal poison in the Blade Queen Bee could only be condensed after it cleared its body of insect eggs and devoured a large number of feys. This took some time. The natal poison should have condensed by now.”
Liu Jie trailed behind Night Leaning Moon as they left the study room.
Liu Jie was completely different from the person he was before he had entered the study.
Liu Jie used to be a piece of silver. Now, he only appeared to still be a piece of silver, but his interior had already become gold.
Once Liu Jie’s Insect Queen completed its evolution, the silver on Liu Jie’s surface would also change into gold to match his interior.
When Liu Jie walked out of the study, he recalled that there were high winds when he had arrived, but now the sun was hanging high in the sky. The searing light beat down upon him.
Liu Jie’s entire body was flooded with warmth. It felt lovely and comfortable.
...
Mystic Moon looked at the roasted Spirit Savory Pig on the whalebone table. Its skin was golden and crispy, and he was silently stunned for three seconds.
I wonder what became of the two Spirit Savory Pigs left in the Kitchen Fragrance Pavilion. Those are the only two Spirit Savory Pigs left in the world, and they’re both males! It looks like Chef Supreme will never have a chance to use the postnatal care for sows he picked up.
