Chapter 344: Chapter 344: Fairy (Silver Extra)

"Apocalypse?!"

Zhong Shenxiu’s hand holding the wine glass suddenly halted.

I was just eating hotpot and singing songs with my buddies, and now you’re seriously discussing the apocalypse with me.

Are you sure you’re not just messing with me?

"Burp... Everything has its process of birth, existence, and oblivion..." Leon let out a satisfied burp, speaking indifferently, "But it’s nothing much... After all, the prophecy of the White Tower puts the apocalypse on the scale of 90,000 years from now... It has only been moved forward a hundred years."

"Leon, you need to pay attention to something."

Serpiano said with a stern face, "The catastrophe 90,000 years from now is an apocalyptic-level disaster, but that doesn’t mean that within these 90,000 years, something couldn’t happen that would bring about the end earlier... like... those great beings personally descending into our mundane world..."

"So, aside from the destined destruction 90,000 years later, we could be facing extinction at any moment because of the whim of some existence... How sad."

Zhong Shenxiu sighed.

"Although I’m reluctant to admit it, the fact remains that these great existences seem to have no desire to destroy the mundane world..."

Rodrisge smiled, "The apocalypse has been moved forward a hundred years? Indeed, that’s a matter worth noting. I will instruct the resting councilors to be alert for similar intelligence."

Zhong Shenxiu could see that Leon visibly curled his lip, clearly unconvinced.

After all, that was a long expanse of 90,000 years.

Long enough for even the longevity bones to turn to ash—Leon believed that he definitely wouldn’t survive until that time.

Ignored, it was inevitably so.

"Council President!"

Serpiano’s expression became extremely serious, and it seemed like both of his eyebrows were standing on end, "You still haven’t grasped the severity of the issue... The future is not unchanging; it is constantly evolving. The slightest influence today could brew bitter fruit in the future..."

Rodrisge’s expression turned awkward in an instant, and even Zhong Shenxiu felt sorry for him.

They were all ’Perfected Ones’, and their strengths were not much different.

As a council president, his authority was much smaller than that of the great Sage Isreal.

...

"Don’t mind Serpiano, she’s always like that, steadfast in her belief of an ominous future foretold by her divinations..."

Once Serpiano had left, Leon immediately took Zhong Shenxiu away from the Hall of True Knowledge, "I have a dream... to find the missing great Sage Isreal. I feel he may have carried with him the key to the fifth Dao Mark."

"All of our Federation’s councilors believe so, so please, help us as well."

Leon concluded.

"Mutual benefit, right?"

Zhong Shenxiu agreed with a cheerful smile.

...

Deep within the Spirit Realm.

Zhong Shenxiu summoned the Three-eyed Feathered Serpent, scrutinizing the crystal map in his hand.

In the depths of the Spirit Realm, neither distance nor time could be trusted, only such ’beacons’ could mark the real spatial coordinates.

Even so, explorers still had to be extremely cautious, as a slight mishap could lead to getting lost in the turbulent flow of space-time.

Worse, they could get lost in the history of the past or directly cross to the future.

Of course, it was even more likely to simply perish while playing these risky games, like those Feathered Serpent Nobles...

"To concoct the ’longevity blood’, the process is now clear, but I still need some special materials... which should be found deep within the Spirit Realm."

While using the beacon to locate his position, Zhong Shenxiu steered the serpent, beginning his exploration on the Federation’s public map.

The depths of the Spirit Realm held not only dangers but also various rare materials and creatures.

For example, the origins of the Five Rings School’s five major bloodline heritages - the Spirit Realm Creatures - were all found at these depths.

Furthermore, the Magic Potions and top materials needed by alchemy masters that weren’t produced in the mundane world could only be sought deep within the Spirit Realm.

"Concocting the longevity blood sooner rather than later will give me peace of mind..."

When the time comes, even if there is an unexpected development, one could immediately ascend to become a ’longevity’ and then leave directly.

Securing the minimal reward of ’Spiritual Patterns’.

Nevertheless, how to bring the ’Spiritual Patterns’ from this world back was still a problem.

’It’s a bit of a trap that only True Spirits can travel back and forth through the Gateway of Myriad Paths...’

Zhong Shenxiu sighed as he arrived at a lake.

This lake was positioned directly in the void, like a suspended water basin.

The enormous Feathered Serpent flew over the surface of the lake, creating ripples with its tail.

Splash!

Suddenly, the lake split open from the middle, revealing a budding flower.

As the petals unfolded with a sweet fragrance in the air, out emerged a woman the size of a thumb with beautiful butterfly wings.

—The Lake Fairy!

In the Mesoamerican Federation, there were quite a few legends about her, said to bring good fortune and fulfill wishes for those who found her.

"It’s unclear whether it was the Spirit Realm Creatures that existed first and got known in the real world, turning into fame, or if the real world’s fame and stories were projected into the Spirit Realm, forming unique symbols..."

Symbols could be buildings, phenomena, or even specific creatures, and bloodlines could be passed down.

In the Spirit Realm, anything could happen!

"Wandering traveler, do you have a wish?"

The Lake Fairy asked in an ancient tongue.

But Zhong Shenxiu had just crammed relevant knowledge in the Hall of True Knowledge and replied with a smile, "I am looking for a Magic Potion ingredient and wish for your help... Its name is—The Tears of the Lake Fairy!"

"I can grant your wish, as long as you agree to my request..."

The Lake Fairy smiled, "Come closer!"

Zhong Shenxiu complied and stepped closer.

"Come even closer!"

Under the lake, a huge shadow surged up suddenly, spraying water everywhere, revealing a gaping maw!

It turned out to be a ferocious creature resembling a giant salamander, with a tentacle that looked like an antenna on its head, its tip holding the bud and the Lake Fairy.

Or rather, it was the true form of the Lake Fairy.

That bloom on top was merely a lure for attracting prey.

"Perfect, I’ll just take it myself."

Zhong Shenxiu watched the giant salamander with a smile on his face, "The true Tears of the Lake Fairy, of course, must be obtained by making you cry!"

Swoosh!

The Three-eyed Feathered Serpent soared high into the sky, its tail whipping down fiercely.

The huge beast was suddenly pulled out of the water, emitting a noise like a wailing baby.

"How terrifying!"

Atop the creature’s head, the cute Fairy let out a panicked voice, as if she truly were about to cry.

"After all, it’s just a resource point cleared by the Federation, so it shouldn’t be overdone..."

Holding a feather in hand, Zhong Shenxiu’s face wore a mischievous smile, "Just cry for me obediently, and that’s all it takes, right?"
