Chapter 741: Sun Star (2/2)
However, the Emperor Sunflower before them had no master, so its world was open to all to freely enter as they would. It innately repelled the big water snake, which was why the monster spirit couldn’t make his way inside.
The kidneys had nurtured a divine spirit that’d evolved into a water god. It only needed to partake the Emperor Sunflower’s petals if it wanted to draw on the spirit root’s power. But for the yin-attributed water snake, it would have to consume the spirit root’s core for the same effect, thereby making it extinct in the world.
Therefore, the Emperor Sunflower instinctively barred the water snake from entering.
“Is there someone else inside?” Lu Yun suddenly asked.
“Yes… they’re all waiting for the divine spirit’s wound to flare up so they can eat it!” The water snake licked his lips, plainly wanting to devour the divine spirit as well.
“We’re heading in!” Lu Yun yanked the green-clad youth with him in a large stride over the snake, then bounded into the world of the Emperor Sunflower.
After he vanished from sight, the snake’s eyes turned flat and cold. “…that brat didn’t fall for it…”
……
“Why didn’t you bring him with us?” The green-clad youth was struggling to wrap his mind around things.
“Snakes are cold-blooded creatures, and that one was also full of bullshit. He was intimidated by the mention of Celestial Master Zhang, but his face screamed his treachery to the high heavens,” snorted Lu Yun. “As cold-blooded creatures, they don’t have such violent emotional upheaval. Even if they faced death, they would remain as coolly aloof as ever.”
Since he had two rimesnakes for subordinates, he’d grown very familiar with the nature of snakes. When he’d interrupted the big water snake and stopped him from talking more about Celestial Master Zhang, that’d been a sign that Lu Yun didn’t believe him.
“I might’ve actually believed him had I not known who the celestial master is… Alas, Celestial Master Zhang is dead.” Lu Yun sighed. The celestial master in question was… Wayfarer!
His senses were now independent, complete entities of their own free will. If Celestial Master Zhang were to come back to life, his five senses would return to him and the two saints of the Nephrite court would no longer be in residence.
“That snake sprouted off that crap because he wanted me to take him into the inner world of the Emperor Sunflower. If my guess is correct, he came in from the outside as well.”
……
A wheel of a resplendent sun hung in the center of this world, dazzling and arresting to the senses, just like the Emperor Sunflower coffin in the main burial chamber. However, this sun wasn’t the spirit root, it was its core essence.
“The sun collected by the Fusang Purewood was just the sun of a minor world, coalesced by certain laws of being. It wasn’t a blazing sun that could illuminate the multiverse, but the core of this Emperor Sunflower is a real sun star!”
Lu Yun sucked in a surprised breath when he saw the star with his own eyes.
Three dark figures stood around it, forming a perfectly balanced tripod. The demon god, the divine spirit of the kidneys, and… a middle-aged nun.
The little nun’s master.
