Chapter 2642 Opening of the Five Black Coffins!
Once the corpses were nurtured, they would become lifeforms similar to fairies.
This would increase the number of standardized experts that Lin Yuan controlled.
In a nutshell, Tongue Pouch Births Demons could be used to create a species out of the experts' corpses!
Moreover, the species of corpses that Red Thorn created would become even stronger weapons than the alien insects!
The alien insects could use the bloodlines of other species to strengthen themselves but could not attain the abilities of the species they took over.
If Lin Yuan's sights were still restrained to the main world, he would not be this elated about Red Thorn attaining Tongue Pouch Births Demons.
But now that his sights were set on the Sky Beyond the Clouds, he realized that many of his feys' abilities and exclusive skills would become extremely useful!
Lin Yuan pulled himself back to reality. Regardless of how much he was looking forward to heading to the Sky Beyond the Clouds, the most important matters he needed to address now were dealing with Tower Canon, helping the main world to overcome their dead spirits crisis, and carrying them through the sixth epoch.
"Red Thorn, how long will it take for you to use the tongue pouch to transform the Abyss Great Emperor?"
Given that Red Thorn controlled the Abyss Great Emperor, it completely understood his circumstances.
Red Thorn fell silent momentarily before replying, "Yuan, it will take me at least three months to transform the Abyss Great Emperor. After all, I am still only Diamond grade. My bloodline might have reached eight wings, but the effects of my abilities are still strongly correlated to my grade!
"However, you can still use the Abyss Great Emperor even while I'm transforming him in the tongue pouch. He can continue to protect and fight for you."
Lin Yuan's happiness showed on his face, and he said, "Red Thorn, why don't you use the tongue pouch to transform the Abyss Great Emperor now? I am looking forward to seeing what he becomes three months later!"
Red Thorn snapped its fingers and ordered the Abyss Great Emperor to enter one of the Mouths of Relinquish.
Once the Abyss Great Emperor fully entered the Mouth of Relinquish, the tongue pouch closed around him.
Red Thorn stuck out its tongue and said softly, "However, after transforming the Abyss Great Emperor, he might look rather strange the next time you summon him."
Lin Yuan shook his head to indicate he did not care. As long as the Abyss Great Emperor did not become weaker, he did not care what he looked like.
Now, Lin Yuan did not have any more feys that needed to be evolved for the foreseeable future.
He had told the Vast Sea Labyrinth's three leaders he would be heading there.
Ice Wave needed to oversee the entire operation of migrating the sea clans. Ice Clarity was rather impulsive and would not be appropriate for working with Lin Yuan. Hence, Ice Wave assigned the task of receiving Lin Yuan to Ice Flow.
Ice Flow had also been the one who first interacted with the Radiance Federation.
Lin Yuan and Ice Flow arranged to meet at the harbor in Ascending Dragon City.
Ever since Lin Yuan contracted the Ethereal Jellyfish, he began placing its tentacles all over the Radiance Federation to create spatial nodes. These spatial nodes were not meant to be used solely by Lin Yuan but were also for the convenience of all of Sky City's core members.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLin Yuan transported himself to the seaside outside of Ascending Dragon City, and it was not long before he saw Ice Flow waiting for him in human form.
Ice Flow's facial features were very elegant, and his long black hair looked rather out of place. Nonetheless, none of the people around noticed he was a fey in human form.
Ice Flow reached out his hand and greeted Lin Yuan with a smile, "Thank you for being willing to come with me to help the sea clans."
Lin Yuan smiled back at Ice Flow to say 'you are welcome'.
From Morbius, Lin Yuan could see that Ice Flow was a pinnacle spirit-fire expert and was only a small step away from reaching World Emperor and the divine kingdom. He was much stronger than the Mirror God and God of Fools!
Lin Yuan did not know much about how much power the Spacetime Elder had and could not make a comparison to him.
But it was possible that Ice Flow was the strongest expert in the main world below the World Emperor and divine-kingdom level.
When he met Ice Flow and the other leaders of the Vast Sea Labyrinth, they talked the most about the issues they were about to face. The Vast Sea Labyrinth had been desperate for the Radiance Federation's help. As such, at the time, Lin Yuan had not asked about the Vast Sea Labyrinth's power.
Lin Yuan stood next to Ice Flow and looked out at the sea as he asked, "How many pinnacle spirit-fire experts like you does the Vast Sea Labyrinth have? Does the Vast Sea Labyrinth have World Emperor and divine kingdom experts?"
Ice Flow froze when he heard what Lin Yuan said. He instinctively felt that Lin Yuan's question was rather inappropriate as it involved the Vast Sea Labyrinth's core secrets.
However, after considering the relationship between the Vast Sea Labyrinth and the Radiance Federation, Ice Flow decided to answer Lin Yuan's question. However, he was soon stunned by the latter part of what Lin Yuan said.
He heard Lin Yuan mention the World Emperor and divine-kingdom level. Were these the levels above High Sovereign and the spirit-fire level?
This was the first time Ice Flow learned about the terms for the levels above spirit fire.
The Vast Sea Labyrinth's legacy went back much further than that of the humans.
Every generation of the Vast Sea Labyrinth had been recorded in the Coral Records. So, one only needed to look through the Coral Records to learn about the Vast Sea Labyrinth's entire legacy.
There was no mention of the World Emperor and divine-kingdom level at all in Vast Sea Labyrinth's legacy.
Ice Flow wondered, Can it be that humans already have such experts?
As overwhelmed as he was feeling, Ice Flow still appeared extremely calm and said seriously to Lin Yuan, "There are a total of 14 spirit-fire experts in the Vast Sea Labyrinth. We don't have a single World Emperor and divine-kingdom level expert!"
Lin Yuan was startled.
The Vast Sea Labyrinth truly lived up to their role as the rulers of the sea. It turned out that they had 14 spirit-fire experts! These were pinnacle spirit-fire experts to boot!
The first Major Federation Union meeting had commenced smoothly. Presently, there were only four known human spirit-fire experts. There was one in the Radiance Federation, two in the Freedom Federation, and one from the Azure Federation.
The sea clans had more than three times the number of spirit-fire experts than the humans!
They did not need to bother comparing their number of birth-horoscope experts!
Lin Yuan took a deep breath. It was no wonder that the Vast Sea Labyrinth had never bothered to take the human factions seriously. They were indeed powerful enough to sneer at the human factions on land.
While Lin Yuan was digesting his amazement and shock, Ice Flow said softly, "I am sorry if this is rude, but may I ask if the humans already have World Emperor and divine-kingdom level experts?"
Lin Yuan did not respond to Ice Flow's question immediately. He controlled Eternal Source and the Abyss Great Emperor, who were Afterlife Realm Dictators. Their power was equivalent to that of World Emperor and divine kingdom-level experts.
However, neither of them were humans.
Nonetheless, Lin Yuan was human.
Lin Yuan looked into Ice Flow's eyes, and they glinted as he said, "To be honest, I have two subordinates of that level!
"When we head to the Vast Sea Labyrinth together, I will send around 100 Turning Wheel Realm Dictators that are the equivalent of Above Eternal feys to summon ocean currents and help you with your migration.
"I can also open a Space Tunnel that will allow the sea clans to enter the marsh world, where they can remain for some time. Once I release the sea clans into the marsh world, they will be able to relocate to the Radiance Federation's sea.
"However, if you organize the migration on your own, only the powerful lifeforms will be successfully relocated. The weak lifeforms will definitely end up losing their lives to the dead spirits crisis! I didn't mention this previously, but it's not too late to bring it up now."
Lin Yuan did not stop walking while he spoke.
He looked around and saw that everyone on the harbor looked concerned and anxious.
Usually, when they faced disasters, the Radiance Federation's royalty preferred to take the full brunt of the effects on their own and did not want to affect the weaker spirit qi professionals and regular people.
But during this disaster that triggered the changing of epochs, the Radiance Federation's royalty decided after much contemplation not to keep it under wraps and reveal the situation to all of the Radiance citizens. This was so they could all make their own preparations and receive this calamity together.
The Radiance Federation's royalty made this decision because they were all aware they could not handle this crisis on their own. It would require the combined efforts of all the Radiance citizens!
Currently, the Radiance citizens were all accumulating resources in order to take on the impending disaster.
The harbor was much more crowded than usual. But these were just people gathered together. None of them were showing any interest in chatting with each other while they were moving resources. This was a silent crowd full of bottled-up emotion.
Lin Yuan could not help but sigh. He had already done all he could to help the Radiance Federation with this crisis. There was nothing else he could do!
Ice Flow had frozen in his steps when he heard what Lin Yuan said. But he quickly snapped out of his trance and caught up with Lin Yuan.
Ice Flow solemnly told Lin Yuan, "Thank you for all you are doing for the sea clans. If we are able to tide over this crisis, the sea clans will do whatever you ask of us!"
Lin Yuan did not say anything. He knew that Ice Flow was not making empty promises but could not take Ice Flow seriously.
Firstly, he did not know how long it would take for the dead spirits crisis to pass. Secondly, Ice Flow, Ice Wave, and Ice Clarity could make promises with short-term repercussions, but the same could not be said for long-term promises!
But given Lin Yuan's current situation, there was no way he would need help from the sea clans.
"Let's go. We can talk about other matters in the future."
Lin Yuan had walked to the end of the harbor and raised a leg to walk into the sea.
Lin Yuan's action startled Ice Flow.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis was a deep harbor, not a regular place. The water could reach a depth of 2 kilometers. Otherwise, there was no way that the Island Whales would be able to dock there.
Once Lin Yuan lowered his leg, he would fall into the sea!
The water was full of dark undercurrents that would quickly pull Lin Yuan to its dark and deep depths.
Ice Flow was about to manipulate the water to grab Lin Yuan when he saw the water rise up and gather around Lin Yuan's feet, holding him up.
The water was moving very similarly to when he controlled it.
Ice Flow could sense that the sea water was voluntarily gathering around Lin Yuan.
The seawater was gathering around Lin Yuan before Ice Flow had ordered it to do so. This deeply shocked Ice Flow.
Ice Flow looked at Lin Yuan incredulously. He did not know how Lin Yuan was more affiliated with and have a stronger control over water than he did!
Ice Flow had heard that Blue Lotus had given her Heavenly Family Blessing to a young human. But even if Lin Yuan was this human, this should not be how it manifested!
Lin Yuan turned back to look at Ice Flow as he quipped, "Let's hurry. Every moment that we are late will cost the lives of many sea lifeforms!"
Lin Yuan raised a hand and a current rose from the surface of the water.
Ice Flow stepped on the current that Lin Yuan had formed and manipulated it to carry him toward the Vast Sea Labyrinth.
Numerous regular people and spirit qi professionals on the harbor saw Lin Yuan and Ice Flow's actions. Although they were all shocked by this sight, they did not act on their shock.
Experts had been arriving in Ascending Dragon City recently, and tens of the Island Whales had also been dispatched from the harbor.
Seeing the Island Whales expanded these people's horizons.
Their eyesight was not good enough. Otherwise, they would have noticed Lin Yuan performing the extraordinary act of summoning and riding on water currents.
…
While Lin Yuan and Ice Flow were headed to the Vast Sea Labyrinth, a few soft giggles emerged from a castle.
A girl dressed in a long black skirt and holding a back candle stopped flipping through the book in her hands.
The light from the purple flame burning atop the black candle became the brightest light source in the large hall. It even blanketed over the light from the glowing birth horoscopes hanging above the large hall.
The girl turned towards the eight black coffins behind her.
The first, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth black coffins flew open simultaneously. The seventh coffin shook a few times but eventually did not open.
The girl's gaze became even deeper when she saw the five open black coffins.
"Violet Light Green, Cavity Orchid, and Wave Glow, it's been too long!"
The girl strode to the fifth coffin and hugged the girl within, who had seven-colored eyes and hair. Her action was full of love and devotion.
However, this girl with rainbow eyes and hair adjusted her skirt before deftly pushing Second Page Warbler Candle away with her slender fingers and saying coldly, "Crimson told you to manage the situation. But you caused so much trouble! The human federations and sea clans ended up finding out about the Sleeper's Revival plan.
"Warbler Candle, you have truly disappointed me. Back then—"
Fifth Page Falling Rainbow was not done speaking before she was interrupted by the short young man in the black coffin next to her.
