Chapter 634: 582 start 2

Within the unknown blind spot.

Yunhai Villa.

The autumn wind was bleak, and dead leaves covered the ground, contrasting sharply with the golden earth and the lifeless branches.

In this ancient Chinese-style villa, a tall man in a pale blue martial arts uniform with a white scarf around his neck, cradling a long sword and with his hair fluttering, gazed at the setting sun at dusk from within the shadows of a corridor.

The man’s face was covered with a white mask, his exposed eyes sharp and cold.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a black light appeared behind him.

Clang!

In an instant, a flash of sword light streaked like lightning, striking precisely onto Li Chengyi’s forefinger.

The sword blade stopped, the man’s eyes fell on Li Chengyi, his icy gaze quickly turning to astonishment, then joy.

"Chengyi... brother?" he uttered in Yi Country’s language, dry from disuse over the years.

"Long time no see... Ah Zong." Li Chengyi’s gaze was complex as he looked at the other.

Just a decade or so apart, yet Ah Zong’s aura had incredibly caught up to the top masters of the Five Seals of Midlane.

At the moment his sword light erupted, the speed actually reached more than fifteen times the speed of sound.

It seemed that the martial arts secrets he had copied in the past, combined with the resources and opportunities within this blind spot, had truly transformed him.

He had thought that among all of them, Rainbow Candy would be the one to do best, but it turned out to be Ah Zong, who had always practiced in silence.

"I thought you wouldn’t come back..." Ah Zong sheathed his sword, his voice grave. There was a hint of dominance in his words.

Clearly, over the years here, he no longer remained obscure.

This was a temperament cultivated by those in high positions. The saying goes, ’one’s environment shapes one’s demeanor,’ and this was the very principle.

Temperament is not inborn but cultivated through experience. Depending on the situations one faces, one naturally develops a corresponding demeanor.

"Are you willing to come back?" Li Chengyi asked softly.

"Of course," Ah Zong lowered his head, "I no longer wish to keep running away."

Li Chengyi extended his hand.

Ah Zong grasped it firmly.

"There’s one last person."

"Da Xiong’s situation is not good," Ah Zong said in a low voice, "Before she left, there were already signs of her losing control. In order to cope with the threat of death in the blind spot, she madly transformed her body into an unimaginable terrifying creature."

"Do you know where she is?" Li Chengyi asked.

"If you go down to the Sola Trench from the White Star Stormy Sea, you’ll find the blind spot fluctuation where she entered," Ah Zong replied.

Li Chengyi’s gaze sharpened. No wonder he couldn’t find her anywhere, the entrance to the blind spot was actually in such a place...

After arranging for Red God to establish a teleportation array with Ah Zong, he hurried straight to the White Star Stormy Sea.

Soon within the deep-sea trench, he indeed found the special blind spot fluctuation described by Ah Zong.

And the Floral Bead fluctuations belonging to Da Xiong were faintly emitting from inside.

Without hesitation, he used reverse trace teleportation to enter.

Several days later.

Behind an ancient, dilapidated church.

A few crooked tombstones stood quietly on the clearing, their inscriptions blurred beyond recognition.

The sky was overcast, and a light rain was falling.

The mist, washed continuously by the rain, struggled to spread upward.

Li Chengyi stood in front of a black tombstone, staring at the blurred white inscriptions and a photo of a beautiful and alluring woman, silent for a long time.

He extended his hand, gently placing a bunch of white lilies on the stone slab in front of the tombstone.

"The luck stops here," he murmured softly.

"When I found her, she was already very weak. Her body was covered in sores, she kept crying out in pain, but the medical conditions here were poor. I could only go to the town and call a pharmacist to prescribe her medicine. She held on like this for over a year, and then she passed," the priest clothed in black babbled about his initial encounter with Da Xiong.

"She really was a very gentle child. Even when she was seriously ill, she would tell stories to the children who came to the church to pray," the priest sighed. "When she was about to leave, the sores on her body strangely disappeared all at once, and she regained her beautiful appearance. But it only lasted one day. She said that if she died looking that ugly, maybe no one would remember who she was afterward."

Li Chengyi reached out, touching lightly, and instantly a purple Floral Bead flew out from the dirt in front of the tombstone.

With a flick of his finger, a palm-sized gold bar tumbled into the hands of the priest.

"Take good care of this place, I’ll come back to visit," Li Chengyi instructed.

"Yes, of course," with the gold bar in hand, the priest’s face lit up with joy as he hastily bit into it, confirming its authenticity.

After giving one last look at the photo on the tombstone, Li Chengyi looked up at the sky, let out a long breath, and walked away from the church.

"Hey, hey, hey... Cross-dimensional communication has been established. How is the call quality?" Rainbow Candy’s voice came from the cerebral communicator.

"It’s okay," Li Chengyi replied.

"Did you find Da Xiong?" Rainbow Candy asked urgently.

"I found her. Leave her be," Li Chengyi spoke softly.

Rainbow Candy fell silent. She wasn’t a fool and heard what he implied.

"I..." Pfft.

The communication broke off.

There was no reconnection afterward.

Li Chengyi raised his hand and looked at the Floral Bead in his palm. The large pattern of white lilies on it had already faded.

This meant that the host, Da Xiong, had truly died.

As he gazed at the crystal-clear Floral Bead, Li Chengyi seemed to faintly see countless gently blooming Purple Magnolias in a daze.

"Wait!" he suddenly tensed up, noticing that at the very heart of the Floral Bead, there was a faint outline of a translucent white lily.

The Floral Bead hadn’t completely degenerated yet.

Da Xiong wasn’t dead!

Realizing this, he abruptly turned around and made his way back towards the tombstone.

He released his consciousness power instantly, scanning beneath the graveyard, and soon found the thoroughly decayed female corpse.

The corpse was completely dead.

Li Chengyi’s expression stern, he forced himself to ignore the disgust and dove into the body’s wounds, probing its depths with his consciousness.

He began to scan over and over again.

Ten times, twenty times.

Thirty times!

Soon, a chickpea-sized dark red tumor, located in the deepest part of the liver, appeared in Li Chengyi’s mind.

The tumorous mass pulsated like a heart, throbbing rhythmically.

Though faint, it was still alive!

"!!" Li Chengyi took a deep breath, and his Sword of Wisdom flew out invisibly, isolating the surroundings with the Death Energy Array.

The grave was quickly excavated, and the small piece of the tumorous mass was gently unearthed, cleared of the surrounding necrotic flesh, bound by strands of affection, and lifted, hovering in front of him.

"Joanna." Li Chengyi whispered.

The tumorous mass trembled slightly, as if sensing something.

"Da Xiong!"

Li Chengyi spoke again, this time directly transmitting his thoughts.

At last, a faint, joyous consciousness slowly responded from within the tumorous mass.

It was her!

She had actually not died!

Finally, a smile appeared on Li Chengyi’s face. He raised his hand, and his index finger glowed with a speck of golden light, gently touching the surface of the tumorous mass.

The powerful restorative power of the Radiance Field began to work on the tumorous mass, exerting its healing effects.

The tumorous mass writhed, swelling rapidly, growing larger, and in the blink of an eye reached the size of a chicken egg.

But then it could grow no more.

Li Chengyi realized something, drew his fingertip across his left wrist, and immediately, a drop of silver-white blood shot out, seeping into the tumorous mass.

Hiss!!

As if it had received a massive replenishment, the tumorous mass absorbed the blood and began to grow rapidly, dividing.

In just a few seconds, the bodacious body of a naked woman curled up in front of Li Chengyi.

Her black hair, like silky seaweed, covered the woman’s private parts.

Her snow-white skin glowed as if lit from within, without a single blemish.

Lifting her head, the woman opened her eyes, revealing a pair of black and gold pupils identical to Li Chengyi’s.

And her face was the very face of Da Xiong.

"My experiment was successful...." She looked at Li Chengyi, revealing an indescribable seductive smile.

"Eternal cells truly exist!"

"Sorry." Li Chengyi took off his coat and draped it over Da Xiong’s body.

"There won’t be a next time." He returned the Floral Bead to her hand.

The purple bead quickly seeped into her flesh and disappeared from view.

In that moment, the mark of the Evil Flower glowed with a slow purple light.

’Detection of subordination compatibility total reached. Do you wish to activate the Divine Flower General subordination system?’

Li Chengyi was slightly taken aback; he had thought the Purple Magnolia Flower Language Pearl was the mark of the Divine Flower General, but now it seemed it was not.

This made it possible to truly understand why the first and second generations of Divine Flower Generals were so mighty....

Without any hesitation.

He responded earnestly in his heart.

Was this even a question?

’Activate!’

Black Sea · Unknown Region.

The Omniscient Council in Lian City is a convention of all omniscient beings united for exchange, whose members have explored the entire scope of the Black Sea that all beings have been able to reach.

But the Black Sea encompasses past, present, and future, countless frozen timelines, numberless death blind spots.

Even if all members of the Omniscient Council explored together, they could only discover that the known area occupied by beings might only be one ten-thousandth of the Black Sea.

More, larger, and broader regions are still shrouded in darkness.

Black signifies the unknown, unable to be perceived, recognized, where all senses fail.

Within such a region, in this boundless darkness.

A jet-black coffin, its surface entwined with countless golden flowers and dark green vines, lay quietly like a ship adrift in the Black Sea.

The coffin emitted colorful specks of light around it.

Its surface was wrapped round and round with ancient purple-black, thick chains.

On the chains, golden script-like symbols flashed rhythmically, as if breathing.

In the center of the coffin’s surface was a clear golden sunflower pattern.

The pattern continually steamed tiny strands of golden light sand, dispersing towards the outside world.

Just as Li Chengyi activated the Divine Flower General System, the coffin trembled violently, and a hint of colorful light brightened slightly within its seams.

Looking through the seams,

in the middle of the colorful light was a space far more spacious than it appeared from the outside.

Within this space, countless white chains ensnared the center, locking a slender, symmetrical, pure white, exquisite armor firmly in place.

Modeled in human form, the armor’s color scheme primarily featured white, red, and gold, with dazzling light emanating from it, making the armor’s details indecipherable.

Behind it hung a silver-white hair that reached the waist, and a heavy, luxurious, black-bordered cloak fluttered without wind, displaying the blurred marks of twelve different flowers.

"Another cycle... has begun..."

From the eyes of the armor, multicolored phosphorescent light shone.

Whoosh.

Suddenly, a burly dark silhouette flashed into existence beside the coffin.

"The heritage of the third generation has been initiated. What’s next?"

The shadow inquired deeply toward the coffin.

"Just wait."

A robust voice echoed from within the colorful light.

"The Source of Evil will take him away, leaving behind the Royal Castle System..."

"Just like with the second generation?"

No more answers came from within the coffin.

The shadow receded silently, instantly dissolving into the endless darkness.
