Chapter 542 - The Claw Mark on the Luminant Sun Gold
Zhong Yue's face turned dark like black metal, his Golden Crow Yuan Shen made countless attempts to fly out from the bird nest but was all lashed back by the Sui Tree’s tree branches. He couldn’t even get out from the nest and was trapped in it like an angry bird.
The Sui Tree was very strong? It wasn’t simply strong, it was overwhelmingly strong, so strong that Zhong Yue couldn’t even harm it at all. It was as if he was a child trying to fight against a fully-armored general!
HIs Golden Crow Yuan Shen was on the verge of transforming into the True Spirit. In terms of pure Yuan Shen, ordinary True Spirit magnates couldn’t even defeat it.
But in the face of this Sui Tree True Spirit, his Golden Crow Yuan Shen was like a toddler!
Even Zhong Yue with his full strength would end up the same, let alone only his Golden Crow Yuan Shen.
Yet, such an overwhelmingly strong Sui Tree True Spirit, Xin Huo only said that it was very strong. Zhong Yue felt that Xin Huo ought to learn how to use stronger modality in his words.
I knew Xin Huo wasn’t reliable, although he’s been seeming reliably as of late, nothing has really changed in the end! Argh…
Zhong Yue was regretting in his heart, his Yuan Shen was in the bird nest on the Sui Tree. This Sui Tree True Spirit flew out for over 10,000 miles across the sun surface. Not long after, it would follow the sun storm and leave the sun to disappear into endless space.
Even if his Golden Crow Yuan Shen could escape the bird nest, it would take dozens of days for it to return to his mortal body.
Whether or not it could actually leave the Sui Tree True Spirit was a huge issue as well!
If the Yuan Shen left for too long, the mortal body would be lacking life energy and slowly die!
What do I do now, what can I do…
Zhong Yue was wracking his head. If Xin Huo said that the Sui Tree True Spirit was beneficial to him and asked him to tame it, then it would be so. Although the little flame was always unreliable, Zhong Yue felt like Xin Huo was constantly testing him with this. There always seemed to be an opportunity for Zhong Yue to resolve the danger of his situation if Zhong Yue was able to reach out and grab it.
This time, for Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen to be trapped by the Sui Tree True Spirit in the bird nest, Zhong Yue really did suspect that Xin Huo already knew that things would transpire as it had. Thus, if the Golden Crow Yuan Shen couldn’t leave the bird nest, then it would mean that the way to tame the Sui Tree True Spirit lied inside the nest.
As soon as he thought about it, he calmed himself down and focused his senses on the surroundings inside the bird nest. Immediately, he felt a surge of peculiar energy seeping through the Sui Tree into the nest and finally flowing into his Golden Crow Yuan Shen. The peculiar energy was quietly and slowly altering the Golden Crow Yuan Shen.
Zhong Yue thought, No wonder Xin Huo said the Sui Tree can allow my Golden Crow Yuan Shen to turn into the true Sun Innate Spirit. The Sui Tree is really able to nourish the Golden Crow and reform my sun spirit into the genuine Sun Innate Spirit. However, such reformation rate was too slow, it would take years to do so. Hence, this isn’t the way to tame and refine the Sui Tree.
Just as he was thinking about it, he looked at the tree branches of the Sui Tree and a thought flashed across his mind. At this moment, he finally understood what Xin Huo planned for him.
The Sui Tree … Flame Order Place and Sui Sovereign!
Zhong Yue immediately visualized the Flame Order Palace and his Golden Crow Yuan Shen changed and took the form of a dragon-headed human celestial being. It was the first Heavenly Sovereign and Heavenly Monarch — the Sui Sovereign!
His body was grand and imposing, marvelous energy shrouded around him in golden rays and he slowly hovered above the ground inside the bird nest.
It was the【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art】!
The cultivation technique taught to him by Xin Hui; his first true cultivation technique and the foundation of his entire cultivation journey.
As he visualized the Flame Order Palace and Sui Sovereign, his psyche deluged the bird nest and spread through the whole Sui Tree. Totem patterns emerged around it interweaved into the image of a Flame Order Palace.
Zhong Yue suddenly appeared inside of the Flame Order Palace instead of the crow’s nest on the Sui Tree.
In front of the Flame Order Palace, the Sui Tree he visualized suddenly overshaded the Sui Tree True Spirit. The Sui Tree True Spirit was, after all, an intelligent being. As soon as it felt the Sui Tree totem patterns that Zhong Yue visualized, it stopped moving.
After a long time, Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen, in the form of Sui Sovereign, walked out from the Flame Order Palace and waved his hand. The Sui Tree flew up and hovered above the palm of his hand.
“I see … I see…" Zhong Yue’s Sui Sovereign Yuan Shen smiled. He sent the Sui Tree True Spirit into his Yuan Shen secret realms and mumbled softly, “The【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art】is created by the first Sui Sovereign, the Sui Tree totem patterns in the cultivation technique is the same as the Sui Tree True Spirit. for me to visualize and take the form of Sui Sovereign, my Yuan Shen will be the Sui Sovereign and the Sui Tree True Spirit will fill in as the Sui Tree in front of the Flame Order Palace. Xin Huo is really experienced, he is really amazing. If I wasn’t caught by the Sui Tree and trapped inside the crow’s nest, it’d be hard to do it.”
If he wasn’t caught by the Sui Tree and just visualized it from afar, he wouldn’t be able to capture the Sui Tree True Spirit with the Sui Tree totem patterns at all. Only by doing it on the Sui Tree itself could he succeed.
“Xin Huo, am I right?" Zhong Yue asked.
The little flame scratched his head in confusion, but moments later, he seemed to have reached an epiphany as he emphatically nodded, “Ah yes! That’s right! That’s exactly what I wanted you to do. I guess you are not completely helpless, at least you understand the true meaning behind my actions!”
Zhong Yue praised, “Xin Huo, you really are impressive!”
Xin Huo nodded proudly, but his forced expression hid his lack of confidence, What can I say? You are just overthinking it… Should I tell him that I simply didn’t know how he was going to survive? Well, I guess not … else, he won’t believe me anymore in the future.
Zhong Yue kept the Sui Tree True Spirit with satisfaction. By now, the other ten Great Sun True Spirits were already long gone, already having disappeared into endless space.
The innate spirit bodies were receptacles to these True Spirits that came from the stars and planets. Taking the sun for example, during the sun storm, the True Spirits were given a chance to leave and descend upon a living in the universe and turn that said being into an innate spirit body.
“There are ten Great Sun True Spirits that flew out, wouldn’t that mean there would be ten more Innate Sun Spirit Bodies that will appear on the Ancestral Star?" Zhong Yue frowned and said.
The Innate Sun Spirit Body was said to be the strongest innate spirit body. One was already amazing enough. If ten were to emerge at the same time, wouldn’t that toss the whole world into chaos?
Xin Huo shook his head and replied, “Brat Yue, you are thinking too much again. Space is endless, these Great Sun True Spirits might not even fall on the Ancestral Star. The Ancestral Star is tinier than a speck of dust in this vast universe, it wouldn’t be so lucky to be blessed with ten True Spirits at once. Most of the time, these True Spirits aren’t even able to find any living creatures to fall into in the universe. Eventually, the energy they store will be depleted, and they will dissipate into pure energy, returning to the universe.”
Zhong Yue nodded, looking at the Ancestral Star from where he stood now, his home planet was already nearly invisible. It was really too small a possibility for the ten True Spirits to reach the Ancestral Star.
Of the ten of these Great Sun True Spirits, probably not even one of it will fall upon the Ancestral Star, maybe one will… when fate wills it so. As for all ten to fall on the Ancestral Star together….
Zhong Yue shook his head, he continued searching through the sun storm. He had already acquired the Sui Tree True Spirit; his next goal was to search for the Luminant Sun Gold.
The sun storm was the best time for the Luminant Sun Gold to emerge!
After a long time, Zhong Yue’s eyes brightened up, he found a fist-sized divine gold flying out from the sun storm. Immediately, he surged his arcane energy and clenched over at the Luminant Sun Gold!
The Luminant Sun Gold came from the core of the sun, it was a material even better than the moon core!
This Luminant Sun Gold still burned in godly sunfire. Zhong Yue’s arcane energy and totem patterns would be incinerated by the sunfire before he could reach it.
Zhong Yue launched numerous attacks on the Luminant Sun Gold; billowing arcane energy surged out and was finally able to slow it down and diminish the sunfire around it. Then, he quickly clenched on the Luminant Sun Gold and kept it in his Yuan Shen secret realms.
Although it was just a small piece, it was over a thousand kilograms heavy.
With the same method, he acquired a few more pieces of Luminant Sun Gold. Even though they were small, it still constitute a colossal fortune.
All of a sudden, the surrounding sunfire shuddered and a loud cracking sound rang out. Zhong Yue’s heart throbbed and he glanced around. His eyes focused upon a huge piece of Luminant Sun Gold that was just jettisoned out of the sun surface.
It was huge like a mountain, and for some unknown reason, it crashed its way out from the sun core and flew out in a swirling movement. Around it, there were also a few pieces of Luminant Sun Gold, presumably debris that followed it out into the sun storm!
Even these smaller pieces of Luminant Sun Gold were over a hundred feet huge in size!
Zhong Yue’s heart was pounding heavily, the Luminant Sun Gold mountain was too huge and too fast. His Golden Crow Yuan Shen was too weak to even slow it down, let alone retrieve it!
Not only that, but its weight was a huge problem as well. If a fist-sized Luminant Sun Gold was already over 10,000 kilograms heavy, then wouldn’t the Luminant Sun Gold in the size of a mountain be over ten thousand times heavier than the whole Swords Gate Mountain?
Without hesitation, Zhong Yue quickly took out the shabby copper lamp and opened its lid, surging all of his arcane energy into it.
“Cast!”
The Luminant Sun Gold mountain flew closer to him and suddenly, a huge attraction force came within the copper lamp. It distorted the space in front of it into a huge vortex and sucked the endless godly sunfire into it along with the Luminant Sun Gold mountain and Luminant Sun Gold debris.
The endless goldy sunfire was sucked into the copper lamp and Zhong Yue’s arcane energy was quickly depleted. He quickly kept the copper lamp and closed the lid before flying out of the sun storm.
His Yuan Shen flew back into his mortal body and he stretched his mortal body. Only then did his stressed heart relax again.
Suddenly, a loud cracking sound shuddered the sunfire again. Zhong Yue looked over and saw another mountain-sized Luminant Sun Gold flying out from the sun core. But his arcane energy was close to depletion. He couldn’t retrieve another one anymore.
“It doesn’t look right." Xin Huo flew out from his forehead and sat on Zhong Yue’s shoulder, he looked at it and mumbled, “The sun storm will never blasts out such a huge piece of Luminant Sun Gold, let alone more than one. What exactly is happening inside of the sun core?”
Zhong Yue was puzzled as well. Just when they were looking, another few mountain-sized Luminant Sun Gold crashed out from the sun and disappeared into the endless space through the sun storm.
First it was the abnormally large number of Great Sun True Spirits, then now the peculiarly large-scale discharge of Luminan Sun Golds. It was truly odd and bizarre.
“What is going on inside of the sun core? Huh? This Luminant Sun Gold!”
Zhong Yue opened his divine third eye and stared on a piece of Luminant Sun Gold. His face turned solemn and his eyes were filled in shock.
On that huge piece of Luminant Sun Gold, there was a huge claw mark on it. It looked as though there was a creature that struck it with its claw and hurled it out of the sun core!
