Blood-colored energy filled the entire inner palace. Even the dozens of sparkling Diamond lotus flowers in the lotus lake were over-enveloped. The few Platinum Spirit-Siphon Goldfish were all hiding under the lotus leaves and didn’t dare to reveal themselves.
The blood-colored energy made Lin Yuan feel as though he was in a bottomless pool of blood that he couldn’t escape from. The viscous blood seemed like it could devour everything.
A strange female voice with a special tone, cruel and with a hint of solemnity, echoed. A blood-colored rune was shot out of the Mother of Bloodbath’s back, and it was emitting blood-colored waves of light.
“I, the Mother of Bloodbath, use the Law Rune to activate the oath, concluding the Path Protector’s contract and becoming Lin Yuan’s Path Protector.”
After the statement concluded, Lin Yuan felt a trace of energy splitting off from the blood-colored rune and landing on his body. It made Lin Yuan have a subtle feeling that he was connected with the blood-colored rune.
Once the Path Protector contract was formed, the Mother of Bloodbath was now officially Lin Yuan’s Path Protector. From this moment on, Lin Yuan would also have his own Path Protector.
After forming the Path Protector contract, the Mother of Bloodbath looked as though she had exhausted a lot of energy and said with an unwilling tone, “Kid, you are really lucky to form the Path Protector contract. With the influence of my Law Rune, you will have a much easier time to comprehend Willpower Runes.”
When the Mother of Bloodbath was speaking, it was stretching around its hair-filled spider legs. It looked at Lin Yuan with its red eyes as though he was enjoying all the benefits.
Once the Mother of Bloodbath finished speaking, it turned to speak with the Moon Empress seriously. “I am indebted to the Moon Empress for giving me a new life. This time, I shall treat this as repaying the favor to the Moon Empress.”
The Moon Empress looked at the Mother of Bloodbath and spoke in a cold tone. “Protecting and becoming the Path Protector of This Empress’ disciple. This Empress shall accept the conditions.”
The Mother of Bloodbath didn’t say anything else. It turned into a red crystal spider that was only one centimeter long and extremely exquisite with a red flash of energy. It then jumped into Lin Yuan’s hair gently before vanishing within his hair.
As a Path Protector, the Mother of Bloodbath didn’t have any feelings toward Lin Yuan. It was only willing to become his Path Protector, just to repay the life-saving favor. As such, the Mother of Bloodbath wouldn’t give any preferential treatment to Lin Yuan. It would only do what a Path Protector had to do and made sure that he wouldn’t get killed.
The blood-colored energy gradually fused into Lin Yuan’s spiritual energy, giving a lift to Lin Yuan’s spirit. He felt as if the whole world was much clearer.
All of a sudden, Lin Yuan felt he was going to comprehend something as if he could grasp something if he reached out his hand. However, there was also a vague layer of window paper.
But what is the Law Rune that the Mother of Bloodbath mentioned?
Lin Yuan opened his eyes after the comprehension and saw the Moon Empress smiling at him. Before Lin Yuan asked, the Moon Empress said, “When the Mother of Bloodbath became your Path Protector, you comprehended a trace of the Law Rune that the Mother of Bloodbath possesses. It is great as you will be able to comprehend Willpower Runes in the future. The most difficult thing for the young generation is to comprehend the world’s Willpower Runes. Presently, Sequence #1 of the Radiance Hundred already possesses three Willpower Runes.”
The Moon Empress’ objective for saying this was to give Lin Yuan motivation and also pressure. She wanted Lin Yuan to know his advantage, as well as the state of the strongest expert among the young generation.
Lin Yuan suddenly clenched his fist tightly. Don’t I have three Willpower Runes in my spiritual spatial zone? However, I have never told this to anyone yet. I might lack strength, but in terms of the number of comprehended Willpower Runes, I have unknowingly reached the level of the No. 1 expert of the Radiance Federation’s young generation.
Lin Yuan obviously knew that he had obtained an advantage that others could only dream of having. It was to obtain a trace of the Law Rune’s energy and gain enlightenment, which would definitely increase the comprehension ability of Willpower Runes.
However, Lin Yuan still didn’t know what a Law Rune was. When the Moon Empress saw Lin Yuan’s pondering eyes, she explained, “After evolving to Suzerain at Fantasy V, if the fey wishes to reach the Myth Breed, the Willpower Rune will need to transform into the Law Rune.”
The Moon Empress then said nonchalantly, “Willpower Runes are to comprehend the will of the world, while Law Runes are to comprehend the laws of the world before turning them into something to be used. Therefore, there’s a huge gap between Myth Breeds and Fantasy Breeds.”
After asking some knowledge-related questions, Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress conducted a question and answer exercise. Once Lin Yuan asked a question, the Moon Empress would use her experiences to answer. Simultaneously, the Moon Empress was also helping Lin Yuan strengthen the foundation of his knowledge.
The questions and answers were truly a joy for the Master and disciple pair.
Once Lin Yuan left, Cold Moon walked toward the jade-like table and picked up a small delicate pot that looked like it was made of glazed porcelain. She then poured out a cup of tea that was amber in color.
Cold Moon handed the teacup to the Moon Empress and said, “Lordess, it has been a long time since you have been so happy.”
The Moon Empress picked up the cup of tea and took a sip of the amber-colored tea, which left a refreshing, sweet aftertaste.
“It truly feels great to have a disciple. I feel very proud as I see a young fellow growing step by step. It feels as if I am looking at my young self.”
When the Moon Empress spoke, the corners of her mouth were curved up slightly. Perhaps this was the satisfaction of a Master passing down knowledge to the disciple.
…
After exiting the Radiant Moon Palace’s inner palace, Lin Yuan headed toward the Radiant Moon Palace’s other side, where the spiritual ingredient vault was.
Lin Yuan already had the Revival Soil, so he just required a liter of Grasswood Fountain Water and two Mahogany Tree Cores. These two spiritual ingredients might be rather rare in the outside world, but Lin Yuan was truly worried that he wouldn’t be able to find them in the Radiant Moon Palace’s vault. After all, the grade of these spiritual ingredients were obviously lower than the regular spiritual ingredients in the vault.
A red crystal spider was within Lin Yuan’s soft hair, lying there quietly, and it was like a one-centimeter sculpture. It was none other than the Mother of Bloodbath. It was currently in a strange state. When inside Lin Yuan’s hair, the Mother of Bloodbath could constantly feel Lin Yuan’s body emitting very pure spirit qi. Feys loved pure spirit qi, and when the Mother of Bloodbath sensed Lin Yuan’s spirit qi, it felt that it wasn’t as bad as it imagined to be his Path Protector.
Feys had very simple thoughts, and Lin Yuan’s plant spirit qi made the Mother of Bloodbath feel amiable. Thus, its impression of Lin Yuan was naturally better than before.
Lin Yuan knew that the Mother of Bloodbath was lying in his hair, so he said, “Senior, I will need to trouble you in the future.”
The Mother of Bloodbath let out a light snort and lifted its legs before jumping onto Lin Yuan’s nose. “There is no need to call me Senior. You may address me as Mother of Bloodbath. During normal times, don’t call me. Unless you are in a certain death situation, I will not interfere.”
After speaking, the Mother of Bloodbath jumped off from Lin Yuan’s nose and landed on the leaf-shaped Diamond fey storage box on Lin Yuan’s chest. It looked as though there was a decorative red crystal spider on the leaf, and it was extremely exquisite.
Even if someone looked carefully, it was impossible to see that the spider was a living creature.
